The Mob Museum in Las Vegas invited me to present my book, "Uncle Charlie Killed Dutch Schultz—the Jewish mob, a family affair" on June 22. We had a Q&A and book signing afterward. It was a full house. Here is the 56 minute video. youtube.com/watch?v=8Sp2QU…

@BraddrofliT @Bitcoinbarbell Trump has always been an entitled punk ass. It’s not surprising to see him being a whiny bitch—he’s scared shitless. If so much wasn’t at stake it would be fun to watch him shit his diapers a few times a day.

Obama walked into a full-blown economic disaster and didn’t spend every day crying about the last guy…he got to work and cleaned it up. MAGAs can’t go five minutes without blaming everyone else for everything. That’s the difference: leadership vs. nonstop whining.

@scottmelker It annoys the shit out of me to hear about “banking industry opposition to whatever” as if it’s they who make laws and could stop laws from being made. Isn’t it supposed to be that lobbyists state their case and then lawmakers decide?

@FredricoPena @shanaka86 Fredrico; it wasn’t a “fail” at all. The United States going off the Gold standard in 1971 and made the deal with the Gulf to only sell oil in dollars. The rich got richer while working people’s wealth was transferred to the already rich. Simple

@shanaka86 The US should never have relied on all these materials from these countries. The US should have been self sufficient from our homeland. What a fail for all our elected leaders. Still failing today.

JUST IN: Iran just published satellite photographs of four Gulf petrochemical facilities with identical Arabic warnings overlaid in red: evacuate immediately, military strikes within hours. Jubail petrochemical complex, Saudi Arabia. Mesaieed industrial city, Qatar, home to the Chevron-linked Q-Chem plant. Ras Laffan refinery, Qatar. Al-Hosn gas processing facility, UAE. Four sites. Three countries. One message: the IRGC is telling the Gulf that the war has entered the petrochemical layer. This is the domino nobody priced. The Middle East is the world’s largest polyethylene exporter. PE becomes the cling film on your meat tray. The bottle your milk comes in. The bag your rice is packed in. The shrink wrap on every pallet that moves through every cold chain on Earth. Asian PE crackers have already declared force majeure. Indonesia’s Chandra Asri. South Korea’s Yeochun NCC running at 66 percent. Singapore PCS. CNOOC-Shell Huizhou. US PE spot prices surged 10 cents per pound in the first week. Indian PE jumped 20,000 rupees per tonne. The nitrogen crisis determines whether the food grows. The petrochemical crisis determines whether it can be packaged, transported, and sold. A farmer in Iowa is choosing soybeans this week because urea at $610 per ton on the CBOT March settlement makes corn uneconomical. USDA projects corn dropping to 94 million acres from 98.8 million. Soybeans rising to 85 million from 81.2 million. The Renewable Fuel Standard mandates 15 billion gallons of corn ethanol consuming 43 percent of a shrinking crop. The cattle herd sits at 86.2 million head, a 75-year low. Feed costs spike. Meat reprices. Eggs reprice. Dairy reprices. Now add the packaging layer on top. The same grocery item that costs more because the corn that fed the animal is more expensive now costs more again because the plastic that wraps the meat is more expensive. The nitrogen shortage hits the farm gate. The polyethylene shortage hits the shelf. Both originate from the same Gulf geography. Both are threatened by the same decentralised doctrine. Both arrive at the same checkout counter. The IRGC evacuation warning is either a bluff or a prelude. If it is a bluff, it has already succeeded in repricing PE futures and deepening force majeure across Asian supply chains. If it is a prelude, the Gulf’s petrochemical infrastructure joins its desalination plants and fertiliser trade as targets that the Mosaic Doctrine’s provincial commands consider legitimate. Gulf air defences intercept 90 to 96 percent of incoming missiles and drones. That leaves 4 to 10 percent arriving. A missed interception on a PE cracker does not divert flights. It shuts down a production line that takes months to restart and serves packaging supply chains across three continents. The war started with uranium. It moved to oil. Then fertiliser. Then water. Now plastic. Each layer is deeper than the last. Each one closer to the physical infrastructure that delivers food from the field to the human body. Nitrogen grows it. Water sustains the grower. Plastic packages it. Each molecule is now compromised by the same 21-mile strait and the same sealed orders. The satellites are published. The warnings are issued. The farmer is planting soybeans. The plastic is repricing. And the grocery bill that absorbs all of it has no bypass, no pipeline, and no sealed packet that can make it cheaper. Full analysis: open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

@IslanderWORLD @MalcolmNance The 1974 deal for the Gulf states to be secured by US military power and, in return, only sell their oil in $US is done, dead. Japan South Korea, etc will buy oil passing through the SOH with Chinese yuan, gold or BTC. The $US is dead in the water.

THE ISLANDER@IslanderWORLD·
🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 Trump told Israel’s Channel 14 the quiet part out loud: countries that buy oil through the Strait of Hormuz should secure it themselves — not America. “We will help them, but it is they who buy all the oil. The USA gets nothing from this strait.” (You did this!) Executive responsibility is something only real chief executives understand apparently. The apprentice missed that lesson. Donald Trump 16 days into a war he started on orders from Israel, a war that closed the strait, a war that has cost $11 billion in the first six days alone and is burning through well over $2 billion a day before even touching the unofficial immense costs— is now telling the world it’s not his problem. First he begged Russia China. Then France. Then Japan, South Korea and the UK. Not one of them said yes. Japan said the threshold is “extremely high.” China diplomatically said pound sand. France said its ships would stay in a “defensive posture.” Germany said it won’t participate at all. South Korea said it would “carefully review.” Democrat Senator Chris Murphy walked out of a classified briefing and said simply: “They had NO PLAN.” This is what capitulation dressed up as the art of the fail looks like. He launched the war. He closed the strait, Iran didn’t close it, the war closed it. He destroyed the interceptor stockpiles, the THAAD radars, the KC-135 fleet, the Fifth Fleet’s credibility, and shattered the Gulf monarchies’ sense of security. And now, standing in the illusion of his own making, he’s pointing at China and saying you sort it out. The Epstein coalition started a de facto world war, lost control of the world’s most critical waterway, alienated every vassal it asked for help, and is now on Israeli television explaining why it’s not their responsibility anymore. It’s going so well!

🇮🇷🇺🇸🇮🇱 The Persian Gulf, one of the most trafficked bodies of water on earth is a ghost. The Strait of Hormuz, which normally processes 138 ships every single day, is down to two or three transits (all approved by Iran). The only vessels still moving are shadow fleet ships running dark, AIS switched off, no insurance, no rules. Every Western tanker, their LNG carriers, every bulk cargo vessel has stopped. Anchored and waiting. Going nowhere. Trump said the strait would be open “very soon.” He said it on Day 5. He said it on Day 10. He’s still saying it on Day 16. Meanwhile his own Energy Secretary quietly told CNN “worst case, that’s a few weeks.” Iran’s new Supreme Leader said on March 12 in plain language, “the Strait of Hormuz must remain closed.” The IRGC commander mocked Trump’s Epstein coalition request for China and Russia to help by pointing out the strait “has not yet been militarily closed — it is merely under control.” They don’t even need to formally close it. The threat alone is enough. What’s actually stopped moving? A fifth of the world’s oil. Thirty percent of global LNG. One third of the world’s fertilizer supply through a strait that’s been shut for two weeks as spring planting season begins and a quarter of American farmers haven’t bought fertilizer yet. Maersk stopped. CMA CGM stopped. Hapag-Lloyd stopped. COSCO stopped. The Red Sea is backed up too... tankers and bulk carriers queuing through the Gulf of Aden because the Houthis just resumed attacks, forcing the Cape of Good Hope reroute that adds two weeks to every transit. 3,200 ships or four percent of global tonnage are sitting idle in the Gulf region right now. Port storage is filling up. Floating storage contracts are being signed. The global supply chain is seizing. Brent above $100. US gas at $3.63 and climbing. Urea up 77%. Food inflation baked in for months. And Trump is on Truth Social asking China in humiliating fashion to send warships to a strait Iran hasn’t even formally declared closed — because the threat of getting hit is enough to keep every insurer, every captain and every shipowner on the dock. This is what a war of choice looks like from the outside. One man’s 4l year obsession. The whole world pays the bill.

At the end of a dogfight while training at Topgun, I would take a moment to recap the fight, and jot down a couple of notes on my kneepad. Let me recap w/ you, my fellow wingman where we are. The US takes in $5T a year in receipts. In a record year. We spend $7T. The 5 "untouchables" in spending: Medicaid Medicare Social Security Defense Spending Interest on the debt Guess what? That's almost $5T or all the receipts. This war is costing $1B a day. We've already spent over $12B just getting started. We are going to roll over $9T in debt this year. That means the FED can't raise rates. Inflation is sticky, and about to get worse with oil pushing $100 a barrel for Brent. The FED can't lower rates. So, the dogfight is over, we're sitting in the cockpit and I scribble on my kneepad, "We're fucked." You don't have enough Bitcoin.

@MilesTaylorUSA @MalcolmNance Is Rubio such a punk ass that he was afraid to quietly buy a pair of the same shoes that fit from the catalog? Was he afraid that a demented pedophile would find out? He will be the poster child for the ballsless sycophant of his generation.

NEWS — Trump coercing staff to wear the same black pair of shoes that he wears. “Everybody’s afraid not to wear them,” a staffer said, as some reportedly ditch their own footwear to comply with Trump’s wishes. We’re officially in the dumbest timeline.

This war is stupid. We went to war with Iran under false pretenses. Last year the White House told us Iran had an active nuclear weapons program that we "completely obliterated." Then told us last week that Iran was "days away" from nuclear capabilities. They told us regime change was the goal. Now Trump admits the next government "could be worse." Which is it? We're running out of precision weapons. The Strait of Hormuz is closed, oil is surging, and shipping lanes are paralyzed. There's no exit strategy, no endgame, and no plan for what comes next - just open-ended conflict in a region we spent 20 years trying to leave. This was never our fight to start. Iran wasn't attacking the US mainland. There was no imminent threat to American citizens. Yet here we are, bogged down in another Middle East quagmire while the debt piles up and the military-industrial complex cashes checks. They sold us nuclear weapons that didn't exist. They promised stability and delivered chaos. And now we're stuck holding the bag while gas prices spike and the world wonders if American foreign policy has any coherent strategy at all. Regime change failed in Iraq. It failed in Afghanistan. And it's failing in Iran before it even starts. When do we learn?

🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: Democrats are in full PANIC MODE now that 92% of Biden orders and documents are null and void, due to illegal autopen usage. Trump is moving full speed ahead ever since the terror attack. 🔥 Biden facing PERJURY charges if he comes out and contradicts himself, and claims he was involved in the "autopen process." Do you support this? YES or NO? IF Yes, Give me a THUMBS-UP👍!
