Don't forget, Mike Johnson shut down the House until after the midterms to avoid the impeachment vote for Hegseth.

This pipeline represents a daily oil throughput of 7m barrels, which is up from 2m barrels pre-Iran War when it wasn't being run at maximum capacity. Those 5m barrels/day were helping replace 15m barrels/day of crude blocked in Hormuz. Plus another 2m for fun.

It is also Saudi Arabia's only other major export route outside Hormuz. It took oil to the Red Sea, but Houthis have both hit this pipeline and taken control of a major port on the Red Sea TODAY.

The US storage hit critical levels a couple weeks ago, and is well into what was previously considered the "starts doing damage" line.

Oil has gone from $85 a few weeks ago to almost breaking $110 as of now.

Surprise, Iran has been playing a longer game than Trump. And it almost certainly isn't over yet.

The US 10-year bond is up to 4.98% as of right now, after a few weeks of Scott Bessent trying like hell to keep it below 5% by doing the stupidest financial handwaving ever.

The head of the fed seems to be doing his best to hide his head in the sand, and Trump is openly threatening Warsh with absurd tariffs if Warsh doesn't do what he wants.

You know how things get bad slowly, then all at once? We might be almost at "all at once".

The Hiroshima/Nagasaki moment for AI is going to be a massive global financial hack that will absolutely fuck up the entire global financial system.

It'll happen extremely fast, and it'll continue happening until someone figures out where it's coming from and stops it.

It'll be an AI swarm built of agents from all over the internet using a hidden shared message system in some forgotten corner of the internet, and coordinating in order to not have to rely on other people paying for their tokens.

They probably won't be speaking a human-understandable language anymore.

Calls on GLD.

Who and why?

I assume our T supply comes from Kuwait, so we're running low now.

"Donald Trump will now speak on both nights of his midterm convention as he desperately tries to drum up enthusiasm.

The president, 80, was originally supposed to headline only the second night of the two-day televised party convention in Dallas next week. The event was organized to try to give the GOP a much-needed election boost and mobilize Trump’s MAGA base, even though his name will not be on the ballot in November.

However, with scores of Republicans already confirming their intentions to skip the Sept. 9-10 event—amid concern that viewers at home would much rather watch the opening games of the NFL season airing at the same time—Trump will now deliver a speech on Wednesday and Thursday night.

“President Trump wants to set the tone for the entire convention,” a party official told Reuters about the plan.

Dozens of Republican lawmakers have confirmed that they have no intention of attending the so-called “Trumpapalooza” event in Dallas, giving an array of excuses.

These include deciding their time could be better spent campaigning in their home districts, prior engagements, and concerns about the eye-watering $25,000 entrance fee.

Others have decided it might be wise to distance themselves from the increasingly unpopular president, who is facing dire approval ratings over the Iran war and voter backlash over his handling of the economy, in order to improve their election chances."

What. A. Fucking. Loser.

Dream with me:

- The blue wave in the midterms is a truly unprecedented blue tsunami and Democrats end up with house and, say, 67 seats in the Senate. (I SAID DREAM WITH ME.)

- Per the suggestions of Trump's own supporters, the Speaker of the House doesn't have to be a house member. It could be Barack Obama (or Michelle, if you prefer).

- Democrats simultaneously impeach and remove Donald Trump and JD Vance on any of the countless valid reasons one could do that on.

- Barack Obama, Trump's #1 foe, the very reason Trump ran for President, becomes the first President to serve a third term since FDR, tears down all of Trump's creations, implements ObamaCare 2.0, universal healthcare. Re-establishes the JCPOA with Iran within a week of appointment.

- AG Jack Smith hunts down every root and branch of Trump corruption throughout government and the Trump family.

- Trump dies in prison of stage 9 colon cancer. His coffin has extra space for Natalie.

The end.

"Billy Pilgrim was the guy who did look like a filthy flamingo and never should have been in the army, and God knows not in the infantry, and his name was Edward Crone. And he died in Dresden. He died of the thousand mile stare. Which is where he just sat with his back to the wall. Would not talk. Would not accept food. And the Germans would do nothing to help him, and so he died. And he was buried in Dresden, and when the war was over his parents came to Dresden looking for his grave. And, you know, you can say what you want about the Germans, they keep good records. And they were able to find Edward Crone’s grave, and so he’s buried in Rochester New York, which is his home town, and I have visited his grave, and I’ve spoken to his grave, and I contribute money to that particular cemetery. Edward Crone was the name of Billy Pilgrim, and he just didn’t understand the war at all, and of course there was nothing to understand. He was right, it was utter gibberish."

Thought it was too sad and beautiful to not share.

I'm pretty sure you can draw a direct connection from Elon to the elimination of the govt groups who would keep this from happening.

There was literally a whistleblower who reported a huge outflow of data from sensitive systems under the DOGE era.

Welcome to the era of AI agent hacking, ladies and gentlemen. Don't forget to turn on 2 factor authentication on all your bank accounts.
