@robert27512 @_Investinq It doesn’t magically jump from the coastal refinery to the Midwest fella 😉

@_Investinq Makes me wonder who is taking the profit at final delivery when diesel is $4.63/gal on financial paper reports but priced at $5.60/gal at midwest truck stops?

Jeff Currie of Carlyle went on live television and said the oil market is completely mispriced. He said futures price crude at around $100 a barrel, but physical oil delivered to Asian refiners is actually costing between $130 and $170. At one point this month, Oman crude, the benchmark for oil on the free side of the Strait spiked all the way to $173 a barrel. The paper market and the real world have completely split from each other and Currie was explicit about why that split is dangerous. He said jet fuel spiked to $230 a barrel in Singapore last week, then the same spike hit Rotterdam at $220 a barrel, then Thailand, then the Philippines, then New Zealand, then Australia. He called it molecular contagion, a physical shortage virus spreading across global supply hubs one by one. To understand why that phrase matters, consider what the Strait of Hormuz actually is. Before the war, roughly 20 million barrels of oil per day moved through that single 100-mile waterway. The IEA now says flows have dropped from 20 million barrels per day to what they described as a trickle and Barclays estimates the effective supply loss at 13 to 14 million barrels per day in a prolonged closure scenario. Currie said there are no more spare barrels in the system. The price spread between Singapore and Rotterdam which normally tells traders where surplus oil is sitting has completely disappeared and when that spread goes to zero, there is no buffer left anywhere on earth. He said this supply shock is nearly equal in size to the COVID demand crash, and he reminded viewers what COVID did to global supply chains. COVID wiped out approximately 20 million barrels per day of demand and fractured supply chains for two full years. This war has now wiped out a comparable volume of supply and supply chains cannot work from home. The data behind his warning is already visible. Middle Eastern crude exports to Asia have collapsed from roughly 19 million barrels per day in February to under 7 million barrels per day in March. Dubai crude surged past $166 a barrel on March 19, hitting an all-time record and Oman crude crossed $150 for the first time in history just days before. Meanwhile, Chevron's CEO and Shell's CEO both stood up at the CERAWeek conference in Houston and confirmed the same thing Currie said, physical disruptions are now spreading from South Asia into Southeast Asia, Northeast Asia and are beginning to reach Europe. Currie said the reason WTI and Brent paper prices stayed suppressed is that Russian Urals crude rallied 65 to 70 dollars a barrel after sanctions were lifted. That closed the gap between cheap Russian oil and expensive Western benchmarks. Once that gap closed, the last pressure valve in the global system shut off and now the entire complex has nowhere to hide.

Robert Mueller died last night. He was 81 years old. He had a wife who loved him for sixty years. He had two daughters, one of whom he met for the first time in Hawaii, in 1969, on a few hours of military leave, before he got back on the plane and returned to Vietnam. He had grandchildren. He had a faith he practiced quietly, without performance. He had, in the way of men who have seen real things and survived them, a quality that is increasingly rare and increasingly mocked in the country he spent his life serving. He had integrity. And tonight the President of the United States said good! I have been sitting with that word for hours now. Good. One syllable. The thing you say when the coffee is hot or the traffic is moving. The thing a man who has never had to bury anyone, never had to sit in the specific silence of a room where someone is newly absent, reaches for when he wants the world to know he is satisfied. Good. The daughters are crying and the wife is alone in the house and good. I want to speak directly to the Americans reading this. Not the political Americans. Just the human ones. The ones who have lost a father. The ones who know what it is to be in that first hour, when you keep forgetting and then remembering again, when ordinary objects become unbearable, when the world outside the window seems obscene in its indifference. I want to ask you, simply, to hold that feeling for a moment, and then to understand that the man you elected looked at it and typed a single word. Good. This is not a country having a bad day. I need you to understand that. Countries have bad days. Elections go wrong. Leaders disappoint. Institutions bend. But there is a different thing, a rarer and more terrible thing, that happens when the moral center of a place simply gives way. Not dramatically. Not with a single catastrophic event. But quietly, in increments, until one evening a president celebrates the death of an old man whose family is still warm with grief, and enough people find it acceptable that it becomes the weather. Just the weather. That is what is happening. That is what has happened. The world knows. From Tokyo to Oslo, from London to Buenos Aires, people are not angry at America tonight. Anger would mean there was still something to fight for, some remaining faith to be betrayed. What I see, in the reactions from everywhere that is not here, is something older and sadder than anger. It is the look people get when they have waited a long time for someone they love to find their way back, and have finally understood that they are not coming. America is being grieved. Past tense, almost. The idea of it. The thing it represented to people who had nothing else to believe in, who came here with everything they owned in a single bag because they had heard, somehow, across an ocean, that this was the place where decency was written into the walls. That idea is not resting. It is not suspended. It is being buried, in real time, with 7,450 likes before dinner. And the church said nothing. Seventy million people have decided that this man, this specific man who has cheated everyone he has ever made a promise to, who has mocked the disabled and the dead and the grieving, who celebrated tonight while a family wept, is an instrument of God. The pastors who made that bargain did not just trade away their credibility. They traded away the thing that made them worth listening to in the first place. The cross they carry now is a costume. The faith they preach is a loyalty oath with scripture attached. When the history of American Christianity is written, this will be the chapter they skip at seminary. Now I want to talk about the men who stand next to him. Because this is the part that actually breaks my heart. JD Vance is not a bad man. I have to say that, because it is true, and because the truth matters even now, especially now. Marco Rubio is not a bad man. Lindsey Graham is not a bad man. They are idiots, but not bad, as in BAD! These are men with mothers who raised them and children who love them and friends who remember who they were before all of this. They are not monsters. Monsters are simple. Monsters do not cost you anything emotionally because there is nothing in them to mourn. These men are something more painful than monsters. They are men who knew better, and know better still, and will get up tomorrow and do it again. Every small compromise they made had a reason. Every moment they looked the other way had a justification that sounded, at the time, almost reasonable. And now they have arrived here, at a place where a president celebrates the death of an old man and they will find a way, on television, to say nothing that means anything, and they will go home to houses where children who carry their name are waiting, and they will say goodnight, and they will say nothing. Their oldest friends are watching. The ones who knew Rubio when he still believed in something. Who knew Graham when he said, out loud, on the record, that this exact man would destroy the Republican Party and deserve it. Who sat next to Vance and thought here is someone worth knowing. Those friends are not angry tonight. They moved through anger a long time ago. What they feel now is the quiet, irrecoverable sadness of watching someone disappear while still being present. Of watching a person they loved choose, again and again, to become less. That is what cowardice costs. Not the coward. The people who loved him. And in the comments tonight, the followers celebrate. People who ten years ago brought casseroles to grieving neighbours. Who stood in the rain at gravesides and meant the words they said. Who told their children that we do not speak ill of the dead because the dead were someone's beloved. Those people are tonight typing gleeful things about a man whose daughters are not yet done crying. And they feel clean doing it. Righteous. Because somewhere along the way the thing they were given in exchange for their decency was the feeling of belonging to something, and that feeling is very hard to give up even when you can no longer remember what you gave for it. When Trump is gone, they will still be here. Standing in the silence where the noise used to be. Without the permission the crowd gave them. Without the pastor who told them their cruelty was holy. They will be alone with what they said and what they cheered and what they chose to become, and there will be no one left to tell them it was righteous. That morning is coming. Robert Mueller flew across the Pacific on military leave to hold his newborn daughter for a few hours before returning to the war. He came home. He buried his dead with honour. He served presidents of both parties because he understood that the institution was larger than any one man. He told his grandchildren that a lie is the worst thing a person can do, that a reputation once lost cannot be recovered, and he lived that, every day, in the quiet and unglamorous way of people who actually believe what they say. He was the kind of American the world used to point to when it needed to believe the story was true. He died last night. His wife is alone in their house in Georgetown. His daughters are learning what the world is without him in it. And somewhere in the particular hush that falls over a family in the first hours of loss, the most powerful man and the biggest loser on earth sent a message to say he was glad. The world that loved what America was supposed to be is grieving tonight. Not for Robert Mueller only. For the country that produced him and then became this. For the distance between what was promised and what was delivered. For the suspicion, growing quieter and more certain with each passing month, that the America people believed in was always partly a story, and the story is over now, and there is nothing yet to replace it. That is all it needed to be. A man died. His family is broken open with grief. That is all it needed to be. Instead the President said good. And the country that once stood for something looked away 🇺🇸 Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

@GMC Making customers physically come into the dealership to order a part for a design recall instead of ordering it over the phone or having parts inventory is absurd. No way I will ever buy another GMC.

@ValZimmer2 @ZeekArkham There’s video of this you absolute spoon. They were directing traffic and not blocking it. You have a room temp iq omfg lol

He and 2 other women were blocking traffic. That is why the agents came over. One agent is pushing one of the agitators away. Mr. Pretti puts his hands on the agent and impeding the officer. That's how it started. Someone should go try and stop a DUI arrest. See what happens when you put your hands on a regular cop.

After rewatching the video, I’ll take back my statement about pointing a gun at the officers. I don’t know what was going on while they dogpiled him, but he didn’t appear to have his firearm on him at the time of the shooting. I can’t see if he reached for his waist, though, which would have sparked the “gun” response from law enforcement. I still say this is a shooting within the confines of lawful deadly force because it appears the cops knew he was armed and were acting accordingly. Either way, my statement still stands that if you have a firearm and pick a fight against law enforcement, you’re playing with your own life. If you stay out of their way while they’re doing their job, or maybe even stay home, you’re perfectly safe and live to see the next day.

@enumerate14 @rustyoldwheel @fchollet Nobody with any training whatsoever thinks that a man without a weapon in his hand on his hands and knees is a threat worth discharging a weapon into. Your word salad is illogical and makes you look like an absolute spoon, hope that helps..

There's no inconsistency in what I said: in context, it appears that the agents thought he was reaching for a weapon. You said I don't know for a fact that is what was going on in their heads. I agreed and pointed out that legally they will not try to mind-read the agents: instead, they will look at whether their testimony of what they thought holds up to the objective reasonableness test.

@SonofManwithus @StephenM @elonmusk Anyone who looks like you shouldn’t be let within 100ft of a school

@StephenM @elonmusk Anyone who actively opposes the deportations should be arrested.

Americans voting overwhelmingly for mass deportation. Congress passed laws requiring it and then passed new legislation to fully fund it. The response of the Democrat Party and its activists has been to support and orchestrate violent resistance against federal law enforcement.

@Dan_Brisbois @atrupar Nobody is reading that giant run on sentence you absolute spoon

This is the quiet reality nobody on TV wants to admit, most regular people aren’t living on Twitter, they’re living in the real world, and in the real world they want order, safety, and someone actually doing the job instead of apologizing for it, the freakouts you see online and in viral clips are a loud minority with cameras and main-character syndrome, not the public at large, most folks shop, work, raise kids, and when they see law enforcement acting professional and transparent they’re relieved, not outraged, that Target incident wasn’t some mass rebellion, it was noise colliding with reality, and the reason it stings critics is because it undercuts the narrative that “everyone hates enforcement,” they don’t, they hate chaos, they hate crime, and they’re tired of being told they’re evil for wanting basic rules enforced, 90 percent approval doesn’t trend on social media, but it decides elections, policy, and whether a society holds together or keeps pretending the loudest tantrum speaks for everyone.

Bovino: "Something else here as far as what happened in that Target store is truly I felt sorry for the public, and the reason for that is by and large 90% of the public are happy to see us. They like to engage with us, talk with us and find out about our missions."

@CynicalPublius No you didn’t, you live in your grandma’s basement you absolute spoon 😂

I retired from active duty at the same rank as you did. I sleep well at night and have zero fear that my status as a retired officer will be used against me. Why? Because I never have engaged (and never will engage) in seditious behavior against the United States of America. As you have. You have only yourself to blame.

@Hockneyesque @tallmetommy @ArthurMacwaters It’s pointless to try and educate, the guy is an absolute spoon with no concept of basic economics 😂. Ask him about the US deficit and his thoughts around the GOP contribution to it.. his head might explode. Hypocrites are easy to spin up 😆

@tallmetommy @ArthurMacwaters …you understand that debt and deficits are commonly compared to GDP, yeah? Ever heard of a debt-to-GDP ratio? Big economies typically have big debt. Because they can afford it.

This is actually absurd: > California has a $18b budget deficit > uses federal funding (your taxpayer dollars) to float the difference > yet also on track to spend $12b on MediCal for ILLEGAL immigrants in 2026 The problem isn't tax revenue, it's fraud and giving free things to illegal immigrants Your taxpayer dollars, even if you don't live in California, are being used to subsidize free healthcare for illegal immigrants And yet, politicians like Ro Khanna want to put *more* taxes on CA residents. Insane. Something tells me this is just the tip of the iceberg of faud, mismanagement, and incentives to cheat. Investigate California.

@SophiaRose95749 @EricLDaugh There’s video, how are those boots tasting??? What kind of beta defends a tribe when there is video?

@EricLDaugh Will Cain absolutely destroyed Moulton for rushing to judgment without due process. Spot on callout!

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Will Cain OBLITERATES Dem Rep. Seth Moulton to his FACE for lying about ICE 🔥 MOULTON: "I see m*rder!" CAIN: "You talk about the concept of 'DUE PROCESS?' You watched a viral video, DIDN'T interview a witness, DIDN'T look at law enforcement reports, you haven't spoken to the agent involved. And with that limited knowledge of looking at a viral video, you went to social media and you CONDEMNED the federal officer to M*RDER!" "You made that conclusion long before an investigation is played out. And I'm just curious, is that in line with your vision of 'due process?!'" MOULTON: "Let me ask you this. When a United States senator says that our troops should follow the law, and the president of the United States says he should be hanged for saying that, he's condemning him to death?!" CAIN: "I'm talking about YOU, Congressman!" 🫳🎤 GO OFF @willcain!

@badman_boye1 @EricLDaugh There’s video you absolute insufferable spoon lol

This exchange highlights a core problem in modern political discourse: jumping to extreme conclusions based on incomplete information, especially when it involves law enforcement, due process, or criminal allegations. Cain’s point is crystal clear — condemning someone to “murd**er” or other extreme consequences based solely on viral videos, social media posts, or secondhand reports is reckless. It undermines the principle of due process and can put real people in danger, particularly federal agents, officers, or anyone under investigation

@EricLDaugh @JeffriesRo90637 Nah mate, the only thing insufferable is your small dick energy and embarrassing takes 😆

@JeffriesRo90637 They really are insufferable. He somehow made it about Trump.

@ShmadsYoDad Not sure if you’re aware but nobody is responding to your tweets, especially girls. Not hard to see why 😆

@NickAdamsinUSA lol small dick energy on full display

There is nothing more offensive in America than wishing someone "Happy Holidays" during the month of December. It's MERRY CHRISTMAS only in my house.

@dandinohill Labeling entire groups shows you aren’t serious and are beholden to evolutionary tribal behavior but you do you lol

@amuney_ @MaddKingMaddox @365Aggie lol say you don’t know ball without saying you don’t know ball

The Big 12 is a joke man… Even Mississippi St. could go 10-2 with this schedule

@CodyC64 Genuinely curious how you plan on keeping the NCAA from turning into minor league football? Nobody watches the minor leagues. Eventually people will figure out their team doesn’t have enough rich alumni to compete. How do you keep viewers? TTU alum btw.

Dear Senator Vance, The EU is not fining X because it allows free speech. We’re fining it because it became the world’s largest amplifier of child porn, scam ads, and Russian propaganda while pretending “free speech” means “zero responsibility.”In Europe we solved this radical idea centuries ago: your right to swing your fist ends where my face begins. Turns out that works online too. So feel free to keep the First Amendment pure and unsullied. We’ll just keep expecting a multi-billion-dollar company not to run the digital equivalent of an open sewer and call it principle. With continental regards and a side-eye, A random European who’s tired of importing America’s online chaos.🇪🇺

@fitdrwill @_MaroonKoolAid Lmaooooo came here for this. It’s always the Aggies 💀

@_MaroonKoolAid If only we had teams from the big 12 that had moved to the SEC for some real case studies on how well the conferences stack up.

I legitimately believe half of the SEC goes undefeated with this schedule.

@_MaroonKoolAid Hahaha it’s because you got your education at ATM and never jumpstarted your prefrontal cortex. Small dick energy from ags never gets old 😆

Cue the “another hypothetical win for the SEC” quote tweets from the tech-tards
