Makes no damn sense the stocks are up. Totally wishful thinking.

So because of Trump's war, 11% of global oil is off the market. Countries are turning to U.S. oil drillers. The U.S. is scrapping environmental regulations on oil. It makes you wonder what happened at those meetings at Mar-a-Lago.

"The oil industry has a long list of policy actions it would want Trump to take, including dismantling parts of President Joe Biden’s green agenda and rolling back pollution regulations that threaten to crimp their profits."

Trump pressed oil executives to give $1 billion for his campaign, people in industry say

"This is a scandal" and "an indictment of the system" — but probably legal, one legal watchdog told POLITICO.

Politico
'As things stand, the scale of the supply removed from the market is at least as big as during the Arab oil embargo, when surging energy costs led to sharply slowing growth and stagflation. That shock resulted in not just a sharp drop in oil consumption by the end of the decade, but ultimately a sweeping overhaul of the global energy system.'

"Urea, the most widely traded nitrogen fertilizer, cost $475 per metric ton at the Port of New Orleans the week before the war started. It cost $683 the following week. That is a 44 percent price increase in seven days. The American Farm Bureau, which does not typically use alarm language, called it a “double whammy” and warned that if farmers cannot get fertilizer in time, we will see reductions in planted acreage and lower yields across the country.

There is no strategic reserve for fertilizer."

So Trump's ballroom is actually a military bunker underneath.

Why. Are. Rich. People. Building. Bunkers.

Yesterday it took stock traders until 1:30 p.m. to realize that the Strait of Hormuz was still closed. Today when will it be?

Trump seems to have found his reason for a TACO:

Hegseth Claims 'Regime Change Has Occurred' In Iran.

As Trump stated: "The one regime was decimated, destroyed, they’re all dead. The next regime is mostly dead,"

They now have their 'Mission Accomplished'

Let them stop further killing and leave everybody behind to lick their wounds, either because they were attacked by the USA or for being a friend of the USA.
