Oil is up 40% in Europe. In the countries closest to Iran it barely moved. You’re not paying for a real shortage. You’re paying for a story. - Iran closed Hormuz to the world. But Chinese tankers are still passing through. Iran is literally selecting who gets oil - China stockpiled 1.4 billion barrels before the war started. They knew. Europe stockpiled nothing - Turkey, Georgia, the Caucasus sit right next to Iran. Pipeline oil still flowing. Prices not moving. - Europe doesn’t even buy Iranian oil. They’re paying a 40% premium on oil that was never disrupted for them - The “shortage” raised prices most in the countries furthest from the conflict and least in the countries next to it That’s not a supply crisis. That’s Europeans being scammed.



Germany Did It !! 👏👏👏




Came back here to tweet this at @johnstonglenn: Joyce rejected some of the corrections, saying, “These are not misprints but beauties of my style hitherto undreamt of.” smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/typ…


x.com/RoyRogers_HTMS… When Dr. John and Jools Holland sat down for an epic piano duel in 1988, the poor keys never knew what hit them! 🎹🔥 Two boogie-woogie masters going head-to-head, pounding out rhythms like they’re trying to knock the lid off the piano. Top hats, wild energy, and pure musical mayhem—vintage chaos at its finest. Who needs subtlety when you’ve got this much soul? 😂 #BoogieWoogie #PianoDuel #1988Vibes


A blonde woman walks into a bank in London before going on vacation and asks for a £5,000 loan... The banker asks, "Okay, miss, is there anything you would like to use as collateral?"Rolls-Royce The woman says, "Yes, of course. I'll use my Rolls Royce." The banker, stunned, asks, "A £250,000 Rolls-Royce? Really?" The woman is completely positive. She hands over the keys as the bankers and loan officers laugh at her. They check her credentials and make sure she is the title owner. Everything checks out. They park it in their underground garage for two weeks. When she comes back, she pays off the £5,000 loan as well as the £15.41 interest. The loan officer says, "Miss, we are very appreciative of your business with us, but I have one question. We looked you up and found out that you are a multi-millionaire. Why would you want to borrow £5,000?" The woman replies, "Where else in London can I park my car for two weeks for only £15.41 and expect it to be there when I return?"
