As a former Marine embassy guard who served during the era of the Benghazi discourse, it is remarkable to me how little discussion there is that the U.S. embassy in Saudi Arabia got hit by a missile and had multiple floors (including the CIA station) destroyed & lit on fire.

@noturtlesoup17 @JudgeJeanine @USAttyPirro @DCPoliceDept On the subway, no less. A thing this administration has promised to make safe time and time again.

@JudgeJeanine @USAttyPirro Pretty weird that @DCPoliceDept is apparently choosing to protect Bryan Betancur, a guy on bond in DC and Virginia who got a ton of national media attention for being a pervert and creep to women.

Went to @DCPoliceDept about my this. After I explained it started bc Im a journalist & covered an event he was at, they asked if we dated. Didn’t watch any of the videos I have, told me they’d find them on their own (they’re on my personal cell phone), and left in less than 5.

Last night I joked Polymarket should let me bet that Bryan Betancur, the DC Metro hair toucher, would show up at the Monitoring the Situation bar bc I was there. I was right! After he was removed from the bar, he waited outside for me to leave.

I've stopped reading Gulf war headlines. Here's what I track instead.
We run an India-focused equity fund. 85% of India's crude comes from imports. Half of that normally passes through Hormuz. So yes — this crisis is personal.
But the information environment right now is garbage. Trump says the war ends tomorrow. Iran says Hormuz is shut forever. One analyst says $150 oil, another says $60. You can't build a portfolio view on this.
So I've narrowed it down to 4 signals. These are priced by people with real money on the line. They don't lie.
1. Ship insurance premiums through Hormuz
This is the single best signal. Lloyd's underwriters have billions at stake on every pricing call. Before the war, insuring a tanker through Hormuz cost 0.25% of the ship's value. Today it's 3.5–10% — and almost nobody is buying. A $100M tanker that cost $250K to insure now costs up to $10M. When this drops below 2%, the people with the most to lose are telling you it's getting safer. No press conference can replicate that.
2. How many ships are actually crossing
Every ship carries a GPS tracker (AIS). You can count exactly how many cross Hormuz each day. Before: 100+. Now: 8. That's a 92% collapse. You can't spin a ship being somewhere it isn't. Iran is letting some Chinese and Indian ships through, but it's a trickle. When this number crosses 30–40, trade is resuming. You can track this free on the WTO Hormuz Trade Tracker.
3. Paper oil vs real oil
This one most people miss entirely. Brent crude (the headline price) is at $112. But Dubai physical — what Asian buyers actually pay for delivered oil — is at $126. That's a $14 gap. It exists because Trump's comments keep pushing paper prices down. Traders call it jawboning. But the refiners buying cargo aren't getting any discount. If you're looking at Brent to assess India's oil bill, you're looking at the wrong number.
4. The mid-April cliff
Multiple emergency measures expire around the same time. The 400 million barrel SPR release runs dry ~April 15. The US waiver letting India buy Russian crude expires. Formosa Plastics has declared force majeure from April 1. Right now these stopgaps are keeping the supply gap at ~5 mb/d. Without them, BCA Research estimates it doubles to 10 mb/d — the largest crude disruption ever. If Hormuz doesn't reopen by mid-April, we're in uncharted territory.
Bottom line: track the insurance premium, the ship count, the paper-physical spread, and the April timeline. Everything else is noise.

Just War Doctrine calls legitimate defense not only a right but a ‘grave duty’… the defense of the common good requires that an unjust aggressor be rendered unable to cause harm.

Maybe instead of spreading more disinformation about the “dirty” voter rolls you’ve had the primary responsibility for maintaining for the last 8 years, you can share with the public exactly what voter information was recently shared with federal entities and any use agreements you entered into with those entities in exchange for voter data not publicly available. Ohioans deserve that transparency, which is exactly what my bill requires.
English
These are the same people who want to hand Ohio’s voter records over to an unaccountable NGO that refuses to be audited. They don’t care about your privacy. What they really care about is about protecting dirty voter rolls.
Open borders. No illegal immigration enforcement. No voter verification. No election safeguards. It’s all part of the same playbook.
Allison Russo@Russo4Ohio
While Ohio’s current Secretary of State plays fast and loose with 8 million Ohioans’ personally identifiable information, I’m working to protect your privacy. This week I introduced the Ohio Privacy Act, which mirrors the federal Privacy Act and provides clarity in how state agencies and employers must maintain, use, and disseminate your personal information. 1/2

@FrankLaRose Why is our process so “dirty” and overrun if you’ve been running it and certifying it for years? Any problems we’ve had would have started and continued under your watch. This is such pathetic projection I’m embarrassed for you.
No logic. No spine. No scruples. Scurry home.

For days I’ve been milling around IAH airport asking ICE about their new gig — handing out water bottles and holding spots in line while people go to the bathroom.
Some agents are checking IDs now, but not all have gone through training for TSA duties (and some don’t want to!).
Mother Jones@MotherJones
When Trump announced he was sending in ICE to—supposedly—help deal with the hours-long airport security lines caused by the partial government shutdown, journalist Amanda Moore (@noturtlesoup17) set out to learn what the agents were really up to. As it turns out, the answer was often: not much.

@ClayTravis Whiteface mocking an assassination widow — silence.
Blackface mocking an assassination widow — that comedian never works again.
The media and Democrats don’t have standards. They just have a roster of who deserves protection and who doesn't.

Erika Kirk’s husband was assassinated in September. It’s March & a black comedian is putting on white face & mocking her in a video. Honest question, if a prominent black leader had been assassinated & a white comedian put on blackface & mocked his widow, what would happen?
