Sunshine & Rainbows

If you’re traveling to Cuba or any impoverished community, or just generally, you should be wearing a mask. We’re 6 years into an ongoing pandemic and airborne disease is real no matter how many “leftists” want to scream and stomp their feet and shout RFK talking points

For the record. Trump’s Iran Gambit and the New Great Game Donald Trump’s Iran war is not really about Iran. It is a live‑fire demonstration for a larger audience: China, Europe and every state that still depends on U.S.‑policed sea lanes and dollar finance. Trump’s Art of the Deal meets Kipling’s Kim: transactional brinkmanship fused with a ruthless sense of the Great Game. His coercive sequencing with Tehran – pressure, “winding down”, peace feelers, a 48‑hour ultimatum on Hormuz, threats to “obliterate” power plants – is meant to show that the U.S. can still dominate escalation ladders in a critical energy theatre. Iran’s new 4,000km missile, capable of reaching European capitals, only vindicates his argument that this is not a local irritant but a system‑level threat. Europe’s instinct to respond with process and paper echoes Chamberlain more than Churchill. The real inflection point is what happens if Iran can no longer serve as a staging ground or energy back door for China. If crude again clears overwhelmingly in dollars, and Washington effectively controls the main flows out of the Gulf. The geometry between the U.S. and China changes dramatically. Beijing would face a world where its industrial lifeblood remains hostage not to “multipolarity” but to American tolerance. Gulf monarchies are already betting on this outcome, distancing from Tehran while recommitting long‑horizon capital to the U.S. That is not sentiment; it is positioning for a system in which American security guarantees and dollar energy are, once more, the only game that really counts. If President Trump holds his nerve, IMHO he will, Iran is boxed in rather than appeased, the peace dividend will be akin to the fall of the USSR. State sponsored terrorism take a significant hit, cheaper and more predictable energy, risk premia declines, and a strategic map in which China must live inside an order Trump has just proved Washington can still enforce. Yes, Iran is a sideshow. And yes, The Great Game evolves.

To those saying it will take years to get new oil & gas out the North Sea… It won’t. 👉 Jackdaw - can be producing gas in 3 months. 👉 Rosebank - can be producing oil in the autumn. Miliband just needs to approve them. Everyday he waits, the further away this supply gets.

2-3 explosions occurred in the Cuban capital of Havana amid nationwide blackouts and significant internet outages. The cause of these explosions is unknown.

From July 2026, driving with one hand won’t be allowed in the EU…

Hegseth gets it: “Whether Sunni or Shia, our enemy is Islam.”

一度しか言いません。 高市首相がやりました！！ 中道の原油の代わりをアラスカで確保！！ しかも中東なら輸送に20日以上を要するが、アラスカ州から日本へは12日程度と短縮！！ 日米首脳会談で合意です！！！！！ 🇯🇵政府「日米首脳会談でアラスカ産原油の調達要請へ」🤝 アラスカ州での原油の生産量は1日あたり40万バレル超 ・現在は大半がアメリカ国内で消費されている ・今後、増産の余地も残されている ・輸送に要する日数 約12間 中東に比べ輸送リスクも少ない ・インフラ投資 80兆円規模の投資案件の1つとして検討 一方で、エネルギー産業の効率を大きく変える材料技術が、日本で静かに完成している。」 大阪の小さな素材メーカーが開発した次世代触媒。 精製効率＋40％、 生産コスト−30％、 設備稼働効率＋25％。 すでにシェルやシェブロンの案件で採用が進んでいるそうです。 それでも株価は、まだ100円台前半。ただ言いたいのは。「来年、早く自由になる人も出るかもね。」私は多くを聞かず、静かに28000株だけ買った。 この件についてはもう公には話せません。 来年の今ごろには、車も家も買い替えられる。そんなレベルだよ！ 迷っている間にもう動いている者と、あなたの差は開いていく。 来年の今頃、現実が変わっていないのは、今動かなかった者だけだ。 よく「なぜ有料にしないの？」と聞かれますが、株の発信はあくまで趣味。経済的に困っていないので、無料でシェアしています 👍「いいね」で即座に銘柄をお知らせします。

🚨: After 48 years of travel, NASA 's Voyager 1 is nearing one light-day from Earth, almost 16 billion miles away. A proud milestone for humanity, and a humbling reminder of how small we are in an infinite universe.
