@xalapalynn2 And while I’m reading, the commercial for “The World News Polka” played. I had never seen it. 🤯 I’m reading about the Straight of Hormuz and the fact that not only oil production, but World food production is about to collapse inexorably; because the US president is a mad man…

Seven clocks are running. None of them negotiable. All of them counting down to the same weeks. The planting clock. Mid-April is the biological deadline for corn and soybean planting across the US Midwest. Every day that passes without nitrogen becoming affordable and available narrows the window for corn. USDA projects corn falling to 94 million acres from 98.8 million. Soybeans rising to 85 million from 81.2 million. The seeds that go into the ground in the next three weeks determine America’s grain harvest in October. The decision is irreversible. The USDA clock. March 31. Prospective Plantings. The report that converts farmer intentions into official data. Every acreage number, every corn-soy ratio, every nitrogen-dependent calculation becomes a published fact that traders, governments, and food agencies will use to model global supply for the next twelve months. The number arrives in twelve days. The FAO clock. April 3. The Food Price Index. The first global reading that captures post-Hormuz commodity prices across cereals, vegetable oils, dairy, meat, and sugar. The 2022 peak was 159.7 in March 2022 after Ukraine. This reading will incorporate oil above $100, urea at $610, LNG halted, packaging repriced, and freight surcharges of $500 to $1,500 per container. The number that determines whether the UN declares a food emergency arrives in fifteen days. The pharmaceutical clock. India’s API inventory buffers are two to three months, measured from the war’s onset on February 28. Late May is the depletion window. Methanol at 87.7 percent Hormuz exposure feeds the solvent chain for paracetamol, ibuprofen, metformin, and antibiotics. Once buffers deplete, the shortage becomes a patient access crisis for the 47 percent of US generics that originate in India. The China crude clock. FGE NexantECA confirmed China is drawing commercial reserves at up to one million barrels per day. The draw sustains refinery operations for four to six weeks from March 19. Mid-April to late April is the exhaustion window. After that, China faces three options: accelerate Russian pipeline imports, reroute at massive premium, or crack open the strategic petroleum reserve. The third option reprices every commodity on the planet. The helium clock. SK Hynix and Samsung hold two to three months of helium inventory. Late May to early June is the depletion window. South Korea imports 64.7 percent of its helium from Qatar. Ras Laffan is offline. If helium buffers deplete before alternative supply arrives, semiconductor fabrication faces rationing. The AI hardware supply chain hits a physical wall measured in months, not quarters. The insurance clock. Solvency II requires 30 to 60 days of zero incidents before P&I clubs can reinstate war risk coverage. Even after a ceasefire, the insurance normalisation takes six to sixteen months based on the Red Sea precedent of 26 months and counting. The logistics system lags the financial relief rally by the longest duration of any clock in this crisis. Seven clocks. The shortest expires in twelve days. The longest runs for over a year. The planting window, the USDA report, the FAO index, the drug buffers, the Chinese crude draw, the helium inventory, and the insurance cycle are all counting down simultaneously. None of them pause for diplomacy. None of them respond to presidential directives. None of them read sealed packets. The calendar is the only actor in this war that has never lost a negotiation. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

ICE detain 7 year old girl from Canada—who suffers from severe autism. She's traumatized in loud & overcrowded cell—no reason she can't be at home with her legal stepfather. "They are being unlawfully detained," he said. "My wife and daughter's papers are good and up to date." He provided his wife's social security documentation—that prove she is a lawful alien with a right to work in the U.S. Mother and child are currently locked up at the Ursula ICE detention center in McAllen, Texas—notorious for having child "cages."

The sun has been born—but it does not move. Tonatiuh stands fixed at the center of the sky. His heat gathers in one place, and the earth itself, Tlaltecuhtli, begins to burn beneath Him. This moment comes from my book The Birth of the Fifth Sun, which tells the Mexica story of the birth of the sun and the creation of the world we inhabit. etsy.com/listing/445741…

@Michell33650674 It isn’t common sense to charge people a fee to get id that complies with this law. It’s a poll tax @ChuckGrassley It’s an un-Constitutional, illegal poll tax.

WE ALL KNOW THAT THE SAVE ACT IS A SCAM! UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS VERY RARELY TRY TO VOTE! YOU ARE TRYING TO DISENFRANCHISE AMERICAN CITIZENS WHO TYPICALLY VOTE DEMOCRAT BECAUSE YOU KNOW YOU WILL LOSE IN NOVEMBER! YOU'RE TRYING TO RIG THE RESULTS IN YOUR FAVOR! IT WON'T WORK!
Sen. Grassley Press@GrassleyPress

It's simple. Voter ID is common sense, and the American people overwhelmingly support it. Sen. @ChuckGrassley outlines how the SAVE America Act would ensure election integrity. 🗳️

Today, I exposed an unredacted email that clearly shows Trump has been lying about his connections to Jeffrey Epstein. There's no reason this should have been redacted, which is exactly why I showed it. Pam Bondi and Donald Trump: The gig is up. Release all the files. Now.

This afternoon, Iowa Senate Judiciary Committee advanced House sentencing bill creating modified "three strikes" system. But Republicans plan to amend bill before floor debate. Dems voted no, explained their opposition during committee discussion: #ialegis youtube.com/watch?v=heYRe3…

There are real crises in America today: spiraling costs, declining jobs, health premiums going up, billions wasted on an unnecessary war in Iran. But we aren't talking about any of that this month. All our time is being dedicated to a bill to stop citizens from voting. Absurd.

Sascha Riley, an all American blond little boy, now a decorated war hero, wrote this years ago. Nobody paid attention. Now we are understanding the reality of why he said trump raped him as a boy. The sad part is Sascha could have saved us from all this shitshow if we listened.
