Trump Doesn’t Need an Iran Deal. The Market Already Made One.
Washington is debating whether President Trump needs a deal with Iran to bring energy prices down. The market has already answered.
Iran’s only real leverage was the threat that Gulf oil couldn’t reach the world. That threat has failed. Saudi Arabia pumped 10.56 million barrels a day in October, up from 6.3 million in April and close to its pre-war high. Riyadh is now fighting for market share, and history shows what follows. The last three times it did, oil fell 57, 60 and 67 percent.
The oil is getting through. Tanker rates west of Suez fell as much as 70 percent in a single week, and the key route from the Gulf of Oman to Asia has roughly halved since mid-October. West Texas crude has dropped from $102 to $87.
Private capital did the rest. When war-risk premiums hit 10 percent of a ship’s value, Chubb, Beazley and Lloyd’s syndicates moved in to write the business, and competition is pushing premiums back down. Washington’s $40 billion insurance backstop hasn’t written a single policy because it hasn’t needed to. High prices were the cure for high prices.
Isolation is working. Tehran can no longer hold the world’s oil hostage, and a deal now would hand it relief it hasn’t earned. Voters wanted affordability, and the pump is delivering it.
The real threat to that relief is the Federal Reserve hiking rates into an energy shock that is already over. The yield curve is yelling policy mistake!

SpaceX revenue this quarter alone will be substantially higher than NASA’s entire annual budget!

California is living proof that accelerationism doesn’t work. Things keep getting worse there, people keep complaining, yet the demographics and “voting system” are too far gone to save now.
See why we tell people that “burning down the GOP” is not a good idea? Making things worse doesn’t just suddenly make things better. And if Dems get enough power, they will rig the system against you permanently.
CASE IN POINT: CALIFORNIA.

Exactly 😂
Tesla has no government contracts and President Trump ended federal incentives for electric vehicles.
SpaceX contracts with the government are BOTH the best product AND the lowest price! Moreover government revenue will be less than 10% of SpaceX revenue this quarter and less then 5% a year from now.
Happy to cancel any that the government doesn’t want. Just say the word!

Assuming Republicans lose the seats where prediction markets have the Democrats at 90+% to win, that would produce 55 Democrat Senate seats.
Chance of confirming a worthy successor to Justice Thomas and/or Alito during President Trump’s term: Zero.
Chance of confirming a worthy successor during a hypothetical GOP admin 2029-2033: probably zero (GOP won’t be able to recapture enough seats in 28).

Pundits: We know the early vote should favor Dems, so take those results with a grain of salt.
[Seconds later, early votes comes in, favoring Dems] Pundits: BLUE TSUNAMI! GOP BLOODBATH! FILIBUSTER-PROOF MAJORITY, HAIL SATAN, PRONOUNS BACK IN BIO, LET'S GO!!!

Writing this in my personal capacity, but I have been flying these types of aircraft for more than 20 years, with over 8,000 hours, and have reasonable familiarity with how the charter world operates. I feel compelled to post after seeing commentary about the Lear 60 crash, from missile strikes to DEI to critiquing this poor woman’s final radio calls.
That last part is what I find most troubling. She was the second-in-command (SIC), and while she was empowered to point out mistakes as part of good crew resource management, she was doing her job, communicating with ATC right to the end in a terrifying situation. She likely knew before many of those calls that she was going to die. I have heard final calls from friends, from military pilots with thousands of hours in fighter aircraft, and they are just as heartbreaking because they know the end is approaching.
I understand the public interest given the footage and audio. But you do not know the aircraft’s maintenance history, whether there was a structural failure, if any failure was induced by turbulence, overspeed, or overcontrol, or everything happening in that cockpit. I am sure weather will be part of the investigation, but beyond that, it is speculation. The charter industry routinely hires commercial pilots very early in their careers to gain experience alongside an ATP-qualified captain before they move up to the airlines. She would still have the appropriate training, qualifications, and checkouts by an FAA examiner or designee.
Let people investigate, learn, and share the facts. Be respectful to those who perished and the families who carry their memories. God bless them and their loved ones.

Mike Rogers is a traditional conservative and would serve as a strong senator. Although El-Sayed continues to link him to Trump, by every standard he remains a conventional Republican. He could provide capable leadership for Michigan and a valuable presence in the Senate.
El-Sayed, by contrast, would act as a highly divisive figure, which would isolate him and hinder his ability to deliver for his state or cooperate with senators who disagree or sit across the aisle.
Michiganders do not seek further division, which El-Sayed would intensify. It’s honestly better to bet on Mike—a Republican voters can depend on.

You could have just called @VanJones68 a nigger, instead of whatever the fuck passive- aggressive dogshit this is.
Always knew you were racist trash.
If you're black, I have the easiest Halloween costume for you. Wrap an Israeli flag around you, and just start calling everyone you see an antisemite. Voila, you're @VanJones68.

Pèp ayisyen,
Nou prèske fin deplwaye sòlda nou yo ak ekipman nou yo sou tè Ayiti. Sa a se pa yon operasyon kont pèp ayisyen an, ni yon envazyon peyi Ayiti. Nou pa yon gwo pisans. Nou pa gen okenn enterè ni pou nou vin domine pèp ayisyen an, ni pou nou mete men sou richès Ayiti.
Nou se yon peyi modès k ap devlope. Sèl sa nou vle, se pou kat teknisyen avyasyon nou yo tounen lakay yo. Epi n ap bay gang yo yon leson, gang sa yo k ap fè pèp ayisyen an soufri, ki touye moun pèp la renmen yo, k ap anpeche l viv yon lavi nòmal, lib, san laperèz.
Se prèske nou menm sèl k ap peye pou operasyon sa a. Menmsi nou resevwa yon ti èd lojistik nan men kèk lòt peyi, se ak pwòp ti kès nou n ap kouvri 90% nan depans yo.
Sa koute nou chè, men nou te aprann nan pwòp soufrans nou: jistis ak lapè pa gen pri. Nou te pase nan menm soufrans Ayiti ap travèse jodi a. Nou te viv yon beny san ki te pi terib toujou pase sa pèp ayisyen an ap sibi kounye a. Nou konnen sa sa vle di: viv nan laperèz, pa fè politisyen konfyans, pa kwè okenn moun ki pwomèt l ap ede w. Paske pèsonn pa t vin ede nou, e moun ki te vini yo pa t gen bon entansyon nan kè yo.
Men nou te rive chape anba sa. Apre 200 lane soufrans, finalman n ap viv nan lapè, e jodi a nou se peyi ki gen plis sekirite sou kontinan an.
Nou pa vin ann Ayiti pou nou touche lajan, paske pèsonn pa peye nou pou sa. Nou vin ann Ayiti pou nou goumen kont mechan yo.
Men sa m ap mande nou: fè nou konfyans, lapriyè sèl vrè Bondye a, epi mande L pou L geri Ayiti.
“Lè sa a si pèp ki pote non m lan lapriyè nan pye m, si yo soumèt devan mwen, si yo pran chache m ankò, si yo vire do bay vye peche yo t'ap fè yo, m'ap tande yo nan syèl kote m ye a, m'ap padonnen peche yo, m'ap fè peyi a kanpe ankò.”
2 Kwonik 7:14
Ede nou ede Ayiti.
Epi lè misyon nou an fini, n ap tounen lakay nou. Petèt jenerasyon Ayisyen k ap vini yo ap sonje nou kòm zanmi ki te vin ede yon lè.

I felt this on a deeply maternal level. Those of us who have eyes to see will celebrate them. I’ve met them both. They are both exceptionally engaging speakers & just overall great well rounded guys. Thank you, President TRUMP! We appreciate you. Mike Rogers is exceptional, too.

Live by the sword, die by the sword.
Those who pick fights with me should understand that I will find out who is really pulling the strings and come for them, not just their puppets …
