Guys, is Trump literally making his important Iran War address on April Fools’ Day?

@FreightAlley $2000 regime change checks for everyone I bet

Higher energy prices will do far more to balance the trade deficit than tariffs could ever dream of.

@HayekAndKeynes @dMacro_dBS Practice? Lmao You think the regional terrorist threat is now eliminated? Our allies infrastructure blown to shit but we get some marginal uplift? This is winning to you? What a crock.

@dMacro_dBS Mostly practice War was mostly for Israel, IMO We eliminated a regional terrorist threat but they were not much of a risk for USA Secondary benefit will be significantly more LT LNG exports and a temporary boost to US oil sector (LT beneficial for the dollar).

For the life of me I do not understand the people who want to define victory as an unwinnable ground war yet keep calling Trump the moron. He ended Afghanistan, he’s not going to kick off a similar operation next door. The dude literally erased the leadership (twice), the military, and the US has come out completely unscathed. They have already killed all the staff involved with the nuclear program. Iran’s only response has been to take hostage global oil flows and bomb innocent third parties - even then Trump has not taken the bait. He did as much as he could without causing WWIII and is now leaving without a scratch. If that is not victory, I do not know what is.

@BelieveOnJesus @GovofCO Jesus

The only conversion therapy that works is to come to the Lord Jesus Christ and convert you from sinner to a washed in the blood believer so that you can go to heaven when you die. (Romans 5:8-9) "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. {9} Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him."

Colorado is for everyone, no matter who you are. Conversion therapy doesn’t work, can seriously harm youth, and Coloradans should beware before turning over their hard-earned money to a scam. I am evaluating the U.S. Supreme Court ruling and working to figure out how to better protect LGBTQ youth and free speech in Colorado. We are fighting for everyone’s right to be who you are in our Colorado for all. colorado.gov/governor/news/…

@tomselliott @federalreserve 0% inflation target and you're going to keep borrowing costs high enough so as not to induce massive debt binge (which inflation naturally follows) how?

Warren Buffett vs. the @federalreserve: “I wish they had a 0% inflation target … once you start saying you’re going to tolerate 2%, that compounds pretty dramatically over time. “And you’re saying to people, if you’re getting less than 2% on your money, you’re going backwards”

@TheDailyShow @TheKitchenPB @ZaneNavratil 1:00 - 2:00 in the vid 😂

The war in Iran is flattening the region and killing innocent people, but God forbid Americans can't get their pistachios

@ShaleTier7 @JoshYoung 😂😂😂

I don’t usually share podcasts/interviews but I would highly recommend listening to this one with @JoshYoung. This interview really highlights how easy it is to be intellectually dishonest and analytically unscrupulous as an oil analyst. See if you can spot all 44 instances contradictory logic and pure hypocrisy. The full interview is devoid of any critical thought about the current oil market though somehow manages to last 52 minutes. Link in next tweet.

@AlexMasonCrypto Bahrain. Vitol and Glencore are market makers. I’ve read enough to know to mute this garbage.

🚨 OIL IS ABOUT TO REPEAT 2008 And nobody is ready for what comes next. 2008: Oil → $147. Then the crash: $147 → $30 Let me show you something most people ignore: The global oil market trades 100 million barrels per day physically. But in futures? Over 1 BILLION barrels trade daily on paper. THAT’S A X10 DISBALANCE. But there is an issue... Who actually sets the price of oil: The guy extracting it, or the one trading paper contracts in New York? Here’s where it gets interesting: Every major move in oil follows the same pattern: – Thin liquidity (1:10 now) – Aggressive market orders (the oil crisis is already in the headlines) – Bears get wiped (happening) – Then… reversal (next) Now look at today: 2026: – Iran war escalation – Physical barrels trading at premiums (Bahrain, 2x premium) – FED hikes rates – Inflation is exploding worldwide Market makers are telling the same story: “Supply is tight. Price has to go higher.” But here’s what people ignore: Market makers have already been caught: - Vitol paid $160M+. - Glencore paid over $1B. Manipulating oil benchmarks. Pushing price in thin windows. Nothing has changed in years. We’re getting close to that point again. BTW, I’ve predicted all the market tops and bottoms for the last 15 years. When I EXIT the markets completely, I’ll say it here publicly, like I always do. Many people will wish they had followed me sooner.

@FreightAlley What percent of our economic output comes from producing these assets vs the percent of the economic output that depends on these assets?

North America is one of the only places that you can buy oil, natgas, and petrochemicals that isn’t in a war zone and y’all are bearish on the US economy?

@BrooksPotteiger @LantzPam @jbendery Bro scripture is presented in a way to be misunderstood. Thats why there’s 47288583 diff religions/sects interpreting this archaic shit how they see fit.

@LantzPam @jbendery She intentionally presented in a way to be misunderstood.

New: Pete Hegseth’s pastor and close spiritual advisor says he wants Texas Democratic state Rep. James Talarico to die. “We want him crucified with Christ,” Brooks Potteiger said of Talarico, as the podcast host said he prays “that God kills him.” huffpost.com/entry/pete-heg…

@sadierodgers8 @writerrabe @YaakovRenewed I'm just pointing out its an entirely different refinery than the one originally mentioned in this thread

@DarkSwanson @writerrabe @YaakovRenewed it was still a fire

A Saudi X account reportedly posted a specific threat targeting the Motiva refinery in Port Arthur—just one hour before the explosion at the nearby Valero facility in the same city. What’s even more alarming? The account immediately deleted the post—along with all 4,739 previous tweets—right after the incident.

@sadierodgers8 @writerrabe @YaakovRenewed It wasn't even the Motiva refinery it was Valero's

@writerrabe @YaakovRenewed insurance, like they blew up they’re own ambulances

@pipedreams24 @Augustus_kaizer He top ticked it of course, dontcha know?

@Augustus_kaizer It’s already moved down $16 since I took the other side my friend

No different than last time oil was up this high and every single one of you was bullish and wrong

@The_Real_Fly Bro they don’t even understand Connect 4 😂

3D CHESS

@robin_j_brooks Elasticity from what price basis? Prices before the war were below "normal" due to anticipated oversupply situation. There is a wide band of oil prices where there is almost zero impact on demand due to elasticity. You're 65% est probably implies about $150 is my guess.

Oil at $150 or $200 isn't the no brainer it's made out to be. You have to think carefully about what's priced at $110. My best guess is that current levels price half of all oil out of the Gulf being permanently disrupted. So $150 or $200 are a stretch... robinjbrooks.substack.com/p/how-high-wil…

@JenniferSey 120 girls on boys' teams in one district in one state. Tell me again how it just never happens and it's really no big deal. Boys deserve so much better.

61 boys on girls' teams in one district in one state. Tell me again how it just never happens and it's really no big deal. Girls deserve so much better.

@antifacancelpig @COConservataria @ldatko @JeffcoSchoolsCo @Riley_Gaines_ I don't know if this is the actual answer or not, but it is so much more logical than the accusation

@COConservataria @ldatko @JeffcoSchoolsCo @Riley_Gaines_ Look at the number of girls playing on boys teams. There are far more girls playing on boys teams than vice-versa. It’s pretty obvious if you’re not retarded

‼️Bombshell!!! Just received 31 page report sent by US Dept of Ed to @JeffcoSchoolsCo . In case anyone thought there weren’t really 61 males playing on girls’ teams, here you go! I’ll share more from the report soon! They have until March 23rd to comply! @Riley_Gaines_ @JenniferSey

@Veeshalnarote12 @calvinfroedge Not bs - the market is just pricing in the prospects of a US export ban.

@calvinfroedge Absolute bullshit price action This market is a scam I just saw WTI refuse to buckle past 96 for 3 hrs today When Brent was mooning past 110$

And this is why I stopped trying to trade WTI

@Oliver_Trpcic @Ross__Hendricks US imports about 3 million a day of non-Canadian. It does disproportionately impact the West and East coasts. But intra-US arbitrage trade and other factors would lead to pretty much the same pricing here as abroad even amid export controls.

@Ross__Hendricks Dude. Do you understand what happens when wti falls since you import jack shit based on Brent Except for New England and then who cares FFS. Keep up.

This would be the dumbest possible solution to the energy crisis, which means it's a highly likely outcome Restricting WTI exports will lead to a bigger overseas shortage, pushing up Brent crude prices. That's the kind we import to run through our refineries to produce gasoline, which of course, will lead to higher US gasoline prices. More 4-d chess
