@TSourias @JLazzy23 Robbed 33 times at the other end of the ice. Reverting to the rule of first to touch the puck eliminates the judgment component given to the linesmen.

@JLazzy23 Definitely icing!! Ducks got robbed tonight. Outplayed Vegas

The Ducks have every right to be pissed. Barbashev is clearly short of the red line and LaCombe looks to be in a favorable position of Eichel. Certainly a controversial call

@shanaka86 Is the photo AI generated too?

Goldman Sachs confirms Hormuz oil flows have collapsed from 19.5 million barrels per day to 0.5 million. Net disruption after pipeline rerouting: 17.2 million barrels per day offline. Two independent vessel trackers recorded zero oil tankers crossing the Strait on 12 March. The largest energy chokepoint on Earth is not closed by a navy. It is closed by a spreadsheet. Seven major P&I clubs cancelled war-risk coverage for the Persian Gulf effective 5th March under Solvency II protocols. Premiums for remaining voyage cover surged 300 to 1,000%, reaching 1% of hull value: $2 to $3 million per VLCC on a seven-day renewable basis. The $20 billion DFC reinsurance facility backed by Chubb has limited uptake because it excludes full P&I liability. Lloyd’s still offers single-voyage cover. Nobody is buying because the premium assumes the mines, and the mines are on the seabed. The Strait is open. The insurance is not. And without insurance, no vessel moves. While 19 million barrels per day sit stranded on either side of the chokepoint, one category of vessel continues transiting: Chinese shadow fleet tankers carrying Iranian crude settled in yuan through CIPS. Kpler confirms 11.7 to 16.5 million barrels have reached China since 28 February. These tankers do not carry Western insurance. They do not need Western insurance. They operate under Chinese state-backed coverage, Iranian IRGC safe passage, and yuan settlement through a payment system that processed $24.5 trillion in 2025 at 43% year-on-year growth. The only oil moving through Hormuz is oil that does not touch the dollar. This is the moment the petrodollar system was designed to prevent. In 1974, Saudi Arabia agreed to price oil exclusively in dollars in exchange for American military protection. That agreement created a world where every barrel required dollars, every central bank held dollar reserves because energy demanded them, and American financial hegemony rested on the simple proposition that oil equals dollars. For fifty-two years, the equation held. The 2026 war is breaking it not through policy but through physics: the insurance architecture that enabled dollar-denominated oil transit has collapsed, and the only transit still functioning operates in yuan. The dollar’s share of global reserves has fallen from 71% in 2000 to 59% today. Yuan global payments remain at 2.89%. No single event kills the petrodollar. But the Goldman data reveals what the contrarians miss: the war has created a live demonstration of a post-dollar energy system operating at scale. Chinese tankers transit. Yuan settles. CIPS clears. Iranian oil reaches Chinese refineries at $9 to $12 below Brent while Western buyers pay $96.72. The system works. It is working now. And every day the Strait remains closed to dollar shipping is another day the alternative proves it does not need the original. President Trump’s multinational warship call is the response: send navies, reopen the Strait, restore dollar-denominated traffic, and kill the yuan alternative before it scales. If the coalition succeeds, dollar pricing survives. If it fails or fragments, the war that was launched to destroy Iran’s nuclear programme will have accidentally created the conditions for the multipolar energy order the dollar was designed to prevent. The IEA has released 400 million barrels of strategic reserves, the largest coordinated draw in history. It covers 23 days of the 17.2 million barrel daily shortfall. The war is sixteen days old. The reserves are finite. The insurance cancellations are not. Nineteen million barrels per day reduced to half a million. Zero tankers on 12th March. Yuan tankers the only vessels moving. And the fifty-two-year-old system that priced every barrel in dollars is watching its replacement operate in real time through the waterway it can no longer transit.

USA and Israel could currently care less if the Iran missle cost $1 and the opposing THAAD costs $25M. They both can afford using inventory they’ve already paid for. It looks like the defensive tactics are overwhelmingly in the USA/Israel/GCC members’ favor. Let’s put this war in perspective. GWB had an international coalition and land, air, and sea attack on a far lesser Iraq capability. The IRG lit 800 oil wells that burned for 10 months. Maybe things are going better than you always puport.

JUST IN: 161 rocket alerts just fired across central Israel simultaneously. 5.9 million people reached for shelter at 2:26 in the morning. Iran launched ballistic missiles at Tel Aviv today. Hezbollah sent drones from the north at the same time. The combined barrage was a deliberate attempt to split Israeli air defenses across two fronts and exhaust the interceptor stockpile in a single coordinated wave. That is not a retaliatory strike. That is a saturation doctrine. Here is the number that matters more than the interception rate. On February 28, Iran launched 20 missile barrages in a single day. By March 3, that had fallen to six. Tonight’s combined attack tells you why that decline happened and why it is dangerous to misread it as weakness. Iran is not running out of will. Iran is destroying interceptors. Every successful interception over Tel Aviv costs Israel an Arrow missile or an Iron Dome battery. Iran’s launchers cost a fraction of what Israel’s interceptors cost. If you fire enough, eventually the math flips. That is the entire logic of saturation warfare and it has been Iran’s doctrine since June 2025. Israel has destroyed 300 Iranian launchers since the war began. But launchers are not the only variable. The interceptor stockpile is the other one, and nobody is publishing that number. Tonight’s coordinated two-front wave was specifically designed to drain both simultaneously. The question is not whether Israel can intercept tonight’s missiles. The question is how many nights like this the stockpile can absorb before the math changes. That answer is classified. And it is the only number that actually matters right now. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

@AlleyJe11522 Can a facility licensed for 99 children have one single door entrance/exit? It looks like a fire escape hazard.

🎯🎯 Literally ANYONE who has had to use daycare for their children in recent years knows exactly how sketchy all of this looks. Blacked out glass, minimal windows, locked doors, no traffic in and out....red flags that scream potential child abuse if kids were truly there at all

I went to the market before Covid. A basket of Strawberries was $.99. Two weeks later they were $2.99. I asked why the big price swing. The shift manager said it was the day after everyone got their SNAP reloaded so prices were raised. He said the price goes back down when all the SNAP money is spent. SNAP is corporate welfare.

@DawnsMission High prices are rough, but SNAP isn't the main driver - look at supply chains and energy costs. Let's cut wasteful spending across the board to ease the burden on everyone.

THE REASON YOUR GROCERIES COST A FORTUNE IS BECAUSE 42 MILLION PEOPLE GET THEIRS FOR "FREE" Who really believes endless free handouts don’t drive up prices for the rest of us?

@Rainmaker1973 Wow about 5 seconds.

How fast can you recognize the actor? [✏️ RawPencilArt]

@SlicinHammer @CAGOP I’m not hypothesizing. Someone else posted the same mailer x.com/rpyers/status/… revealing the mail came from Drummond Press in Jacksonville. Do you need any more data? @CAGOP should insist mail bearing their name is produced in CA.

@temackel @CAGOP Also, you're hypothesizing. That's cut off and blurry. I no longer have it, so I can't confirm or deny.

So this mailer from @CAGOP came yesterday, day after the election. I'm sure it was just an accident, and not postal workers holding back anti prop 50 mailers, right? Right?

@Dodgers How many times did he practice that line for the ending?

WON IT ALL. #WORLDSERIES

Somebody call the police because I think the #dodgers also stole the jewels at the Louvre.

@camskattebo5 Our entire family enjoys cheering for you. Praying for a quick and full recovery.

Thank you everyone for the support!! Surgery went well. I just want to thank the city of Philly for taking the best care of me. Every moment I spent in the hospital with family and friends I felt loved and supported in every way❤️ thank you to the doctors, surgeons, and staff that did their best work on me. This is just the beginning of my journey and I can’t wait to show you guys all about it!!! GOD has a plan for me , stick the course and it will all work itself out , BRB 🫡 #LFG

@NotAnotherWoke The same mv director

I like doechii’s visuals and “artistic” vision but her music sucks to me and is forced Similar to asap rocky Great music videos Very creative But music mid

@truestorygrande @DAnteFourPrez @sebdgy @PopBase youtu.be/ugMk_tpVWu8?si…

Doechii has released the music video for ‘Anxiety.’

@EdwardsVaSMKHSE Can you not make your TV commercials so fricken loud?

Easter is around the corner. Have you ordered your Easter Ham? bit.ly/4je7w6i

@LashLaRue46 @Gutfeldfox $9 for a FedEx letter? Try $70

@Gutfeldfox Totally off base on the need for the postal. Ever sent a letter via FedEx or UPS? That will be somewhere $9 for single page letter. USPS would be making money if Congress would stop stealing from them.

WATCH: Greg's monologue on the sad state of the US Postal Service.

@realsauce2024 @USPS @NPR The USPS does not fund @NPR this was mispoken. Maybe they were referring to NPF the National Postal Forum.

I have a question. Why in the world does @USPS gives money to @NPR? No wonder why they are protecting this wasteful entity. #Trump #USPolitics #NPR

@centx_diesel What time was this and how quickly did 4 inches accumulate?

1-2 inch hail early this morning in Cleburne TX from the approaching cold front that generated thunderstorms. Hail drifts 4 inches deep .
