The largest oil disruption in history produced the weakest price response per barrel lost in 50 years.
1973: prices rose 40x the supply loss. 2026 Hormuz closure: 5x.
Geography no longer equals leverage. My initial data analysis shows where energy power actually moved. New analysis, from EIA/IEA primary data: https://t.co/FtLt0b5Ky5
Suppose that the world were populated with 2 billion Hasidic Jews who were trying to aggressively convert everyone to their faith. I would be the first to express concern if we started to bend all of our liberties to acquiesce to the demands of the Hasidic Jews. There are 10,000+ religions in the world, only one of which consistently causes global mayhem, and only one faith that is antithetical to American liberties. I criticize ideologies. I judge individuals (of any faith and of no faith) by the totality of their qualities and flaws. We should NEVER temper our commitment to the First Amendment. It is the only thing keeping us from becoming every other failed civilization throughout history. Once you allow those who wish to silence us to succeed in their plans, it is a short hop and skip to the abyss of infinite darkness. Focus. Defend your liberties. Reject ideologies that seek to enslave you.
democratic party being hihacked by extreme socialism & communist ideas.
I grew up Democrat & don’t believe democrats across America will support this violent shift in ideas. What do you think?
נתיב השיט הדרומי במצר הורמוז נותר חופשי ופתוח לכל כלי השיט המסחריים המבקשים לחצות את נתיב המים הבינלאומי. במהלך שלושת החודשים האחרונים סייעו כוחות ארצות הברית ליותר מ־1,000 כלי שיט להשלים בהצלחה את המעבר במצר, חרף התוקפנות האיראנית הבלתי מוצדקת, והמעבר בנתיב נמשך גם היום.
It turns out that importing massive numbers of Muslims from third world countries is a bad idea. Not just because people get beaten in Dearborn for protesting or nearly stabbed in Ceuta for covering the news. But because radical Muslims create voting enclaves in Western countries, then build coalitions with radical Leftists who hate our civilization. Which is what’s about to happen in the Michigan Senate primary tonight.

The southern route through the Strait of Hormuz remains free and open for all commercial vessels seeking to transit the international waterway. Over the past three months, U.S. forces have assisted more than 1,000 vessels in successfully transiting the strait despite unwarranted Iranian aggression, and these transits continue today.
Mamdani calls them "city-owned grocery stores." But all he is doing is putting mom-and-pop bodegas out of business by forcing them to compete with the government so he can buy the votes of people who will keep him in power.
NICK SHIRLEY: "Why didn't the women come here?"
MOROCCAN MIGRANT: "Women are in the house, like it says in Islam."
@nickshirleyy came face-to-face with the men who illegally broke through the Spanish border and asked them why they came there, why they refuse to leave, and why they didn't bring their families.
"If you had no job, no money inside of your country, why would you leave your wife there?"
"The Moroccan government let them through, and then the Spanish government literally opened up the gate for them."
@IngrahamAngle reacts: "This is conquest. This is not just looking for a better life. It's clear they've got a goal."
One of the biggest grocery stores in America is SLASHING prices, cutting costs on everyday essentials for several weeks. 👏🇺🇸
@Meijer joins other grocery giants like Walmart and Sam's Club in lowering prices, part of a growing trend under President Trump.
We introduced the Death Penalty for Child R*pists Act, because there is no other form of justice for this crime. There is nothing more despicable.
This goes for the child brides being r*ped under the guise of religion. A child cannot consent. This is r*pe.
I‘ll stop posting timelapses of the aurora from the @Space_Station when I’m tired of looking at them . . . so basically never! Another unforgettable display of this ethereal phenomenon as it danced beneath us last night, this one even more special as it was shared with @astro_anil, as he witnessed it for the first time with such intensity. The red wavelengths (above the green) were particularly bright in this pass.
Sexual predators are exploiting surrogacy to get access to children.
It is unbelievable to imagine, but current law does not stop registered sex offenders from obtaining a child through surrogacy. We introduced the Protecting Children in Surrogacy Act to change this.
Under our bill, anyone listed on the National Sex Offender Registry would be prohibited from obtaining a child through surrogacy. It also imposes criminal penalties of up to 10 years in federal prison for violations.
Registered sex offenders should never have access to our children. We will never stop fighting to protect the most vulnerable among us.
I lost count of the number of times in the Situation Room where I asked Dr. Fauci if it might be possible that this came from a lab leak in Wuhan.
And he assured me over and over again that couldn't have come from a lab.
I always suspected that Covid-19 came from a lab.
I’m troubled that we have not held China accountable for a virus that cost the lives of millions of people around the world.
SECRETARY RUBIO: “If you look at the history of espionage in the United States, Cuba is the only country that consistently has implanted and embedded spies in our system – without even paying them.”
Francis Jordan Fuller!! Born July 28th at 11:14pm at home - 8lbs 1oz and 21 inches long.
After 9 days of prodromal labor, 3 days past my due date, Frankie arrived!!! 40 mins of active labor in a tub. Wow. And ouch. Serious ouch. Poor little guy came out bruised, cord around his neck, bloodshot eyes from birth. Recovery for both of us is so intense, but nothing out of the ordinary. It’s amazing how little I can remember from previous pregnancies/recoveries with them being so painful honestly, but, you forget. Being a woman is wild.
We are so in love. He’s so cute!!! So cuddly. So squishy. My last two babies were early so it’s kind of nice to have a little guy that’s a bit more resilient.
High five to my husband @jordan_m_fuller for surviving the last 41 weeks and just not being phased by anything. Very helpful and safe feeling. Love you so much, (adding Jordan as a middle name was my idea by the way and I had to push for it).
I didn’t think I’d ever like and love another person as much as I love you ❤️
