No BS. No Non Sense. Just straight forward pragmatism.

Trump just announced "Project Freedom" beginning Monday morning, Middle East time. We are nearing the climax. "If, in any way, this Humanitarian process is interfered with, that interference will, unfortunately, have to be dealt with forcefully." Parse this carefully. He is sending US warships to escort neutral commercial vessels out of the Strait of Hormuz. If Iran challenges the escort, he has his trigger. If Iran lets them pass, the blockade is broken and Iran is humiliated. 35 Tankers have taken off from Tel Aviv today. Saturdays total was 14.

UKMTO ADVISORY 051-26 (0900 UTC): Vessels at Ras Al Khaimah directed via VHF broadcast to vacate anchorage. Confirmed by multiple ship masters.



2 things can be true. - the Biden Administration blocked a JetBlue/Spirit merger out of market consolidation concerns & now here we are with one company gone. - the final blow that caused Spirit to fall was skyrocketing jet fuel prices caused by the war in Iran.




Here’s Mayor Pete announcing the Biden administration’s decision to fight the Jet Blue and Spirit merger so they could protect consumers and ensure low fares. Now the airline doesn’t exist and passengers are stranded across the country.
