The most powerful military in the world won’t send a ship into the Strait, but its leader will sit back and talk shit to others who won’t either.

“I don’t give a damn when we play, where we play, who we play, bc we’ve done it and we still end up here. But I’m just telling you the student athletes experience sucks compared to the men’s experience” Geno’s comments last year. He stays on their NECKS

“I am neither an isolationist nor a hawk on Iran. If their proxies attack us, we should hammer them. President Trump was justified and correct for killing Qasem Soleimani, and he was bold in taking him off the battlefield, but then he didn’t get suckered into a regime change war in a massive country like Iran. I have never been in favor of a regime change war inside of Iran. If they attack us, we hit them back, but going in there for a prolonged war is exactly how you strengthen the hardliners, create more terrorism, and get stuck in another 20-year conflict.” @joekent16jan19

Iran earning 100 million more in its first sale of unsanctioned crude than they earned selling sanctioned crude. Boy we showed them.

0.00196% of NCAA athletes are transgender. 0.0000001% of votes come from undocumented immigrants. This is what MAGA obsesses over.

It's not just a blip. Increasingly oil futures markets are suggesting that the Iran war is going to have (or has already had) effects that will last for years.

Lower oil prices are largely reliant on spare capacity as it removes alot of risk from the market. When the oil on the water is gone, and the oil in tanks is gone, you have zero spare capacity and that introduces a new kind of risk and keep prices elevated much longer. This is why the end of the war will not result in pre war prices.

So now we are blaming Biden for the disruption in Lng due to the Iran war because of his temporary pause on new permitting even though it didn’t apply to terminals under construction or new permits that had been approved and couldn’t even possibly impact exports until 2028 at the earliest but most like 2030?

The U.S. rig count (oil) is the exact same number it was prior to the war. Drill Baby Drill!

Just a reminder that the Biden administration left over 2 Billion dollars to the Trump admin to purchase 30 million barrels of oil for the SPR that Biden had not spent yet from the SPR sales. Republicans rescinded that money in the Big Beautiful Bill instead of purchasing that oil.

Only one of the two political parties has ever attacked America, and I will never be lectured by that party about what “America First” means.

Reframing the failure to recognize what would happen in the strait of Hormuz as some sort of 4D chess move is a level of Idiocracy that reaches record highs.

War on energy on the left, energy dominance on the right. Bars show rig count increase, oil production increase, natural gas increase and employment. Both cover the first 14 months of each administration.

In 2025, Trump’s first year as president, GDP grew just 2.1%, weaker than any year under Biden and down from 2.8% in 2024. Trump claims that the Biden economy was the worst in history. But if his economy is worse than Biden’s, doesn’t that mean the Trump economy is now the worst?

This chart shows inflation from 2020-2025. The yellow background represents the OPEC 2020 deal. @carlquintanilla @cpscott16

“The Straits are in great shape!”

No, they aren't.

They are celebrating Trumps gulf lease sale which is 47 million dollars. That’s 1/4 the size of Biden’s smallest one out of 3 he had, of course those were all trash.

Even if the war ends fast, “normal” won’t fully return. Trust and relationships are slow to rebuild, and that shows up as less trade, less cooperation, and more expensive risk management.

We can’t refill the SPR because Biden drained it too fast, so we are going to drain it even faster now and then refill it. Did I get that right?
