Ex-beauty queen and longtime Trump ally Carrie Prejean turns on President Trump, declares “MAGA is dead.”
“Let me tell you right now, MAGA is dead.”
“It is deader than dead.”
“We do not recognize President Donald J. Trump anymore.”
“I’ve been a loyal supporter... for almost 20 years… I consider him a dear friend. And I will tell you right now, I do not recognize our president.”
“I think that we are an occupied nation. I think that a foreign country has occupied our government.”
“And we are seeing now that this President of the United States of America is being influenced by a foreign government.”

Trump will likely capture Kharg Island and hold it after the bombing stops.
Via Kharg Island, Trump will effectively control all oil exports to Asia.
If Iranian Mullahs want to export and sell oil, and pay their soldiers who protect them, they will need Trump’s permission.
The Kobeissi Letter@KobeissiLetter
What just happened to Iran's Kharg Island? President Trump just said the US has carried out the "most powerful bombing raids in Middle East history" on Kharg island. This is a MAJOR escalation for oil markets. Here's why: Kharg Island has been described as the "crown jewel" of Iran's oil industry. It is a vital, tiny island in the northern Persian Gulf that manages ~90% of Iran's crude oil exports. Kharg Island alone handles ~2% of global oil supply. In the lead up to the war, Iran was exporting as much as 3 MILLION barrels of oil per day from Kharg Island. Trump said that the US military has "chosen NOT to wipe out the Oil Infrastructure on the Island" for now. However, President Trump also said he will reconsider this decision should Iran "do anything to interfere with the free and safe passage of Ships through the Strait of Hormuz," which Iran is clearly doing right now. In other words, President Trump appears to be paving the path for the destruction of oil infrastructure on one of the world's most crucial oil ports and islands. It's no coincidence this came just 2 hours after markets closed for the weekend. Buckle up for a busy weekend ahead.

Asia's refineries are built for Gulf crude
That's exactly what's disappearing from Hormuz right now
You can't just swap in US Light Sweet.
It doesn't run the same way.
Why there's no easy substitute:
→ #Russia: Already maxed out, can't scale further
→ US Light Sweet: Wrong grade for Asian refineries
→ #Venezuela Heavy: Extra-heavy, rarely goes to Asia
→ #Canada Heavy: 96% to US, not exported to Asia
The reality is that Asia doesn't just need oil.
Asia needs Medium and Heavy Sour crude from the Gulf.
And right now:
→ The Strait is 80% closed
→ Refineries are burning
→ Producers are declaring force majeure
→ Tankers won't enter the Gulf
You can't replace it barrel for barrel because refineries are built for specific grades.
When those grades disappear, the system breaks.

@Simon_Ingari @vjeannek As a senior PM, I could not imagine firing a top performer over this. Top performers are almost impossible to find.

My coworker just got fired for literally the pettiest reason.
She was just terminated, and honestly it has me a little scared now. This girl was one of the top performers on our team. She consistently hit her metrics and never caused any problems.
Last month, she submitted a PTO request for her sister’s wedding with three weeks’ notice. The manager approved it in the system, so she booked her flight and hotel—none of it was refundable.
Then, two days before she was supposed to leave, her manager messaged her on Teams. He said, “Hey, I know you have PTO scheduled, but we really need you for this client presentation. Can you push your trip?”
She replied, “No, I can’t. It’s my sister’s wedding. Everything is already booked.”
He responded, “Well, this is a really important client, and I need you to be a team player here.”
She stood firm and said, “No, I’m taking my approved PTO.”
After that, he didn’t respond.
