Would you take a polymarket bet that the Team America theme song will be referenced or played tomorrow at the DC celebration?

Post 4/4
Iran doesn’t control it: UNCLOS transit rights, Oman shares. Insurers ignore IRGC stunts because the risk is too high. US Navy escorts try, but economics rules. Reality > bluff.

Post 1/4
Strait of Hormuz shut by insurers, not shots. Gard, Skuld, NorthStandard canceled war-risk cover effective Mar 5. Premiums surged 0.25% → 1-3% hull value.

Post 3/4
IRGC propaganda: Expel US + Israeli ambassadors → “free passage” thru Hormuz from Mar 10. 😂 Pure theater—no serious nation severs ties for that gimmick.

Case in point…

JUST IN: President Trump says large United States oil companies are going to go into Venezuela and extract oil.

"As everyone knows, the oil business in Venezuela has been a bust, a total bust for a long period of time."

"We're going to have our very large United States oil companies go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure..."

If drugs disappeared tomorrow, Maduro would still be a problem.
If oil disappeared tomorrow, Maduro would be irrelevant.

Macro play - Oil & Power. Drugs = leverage

Remember: Venezuela sits on the largest proven oil reserves in the world and its collapse sidelined supply just as global energy markets tightened.

💡What was just accomplished:
- Reduction of Russian and Chinese influence in Latin America
- Re-opening of Western access to strategic resources
- Resetting Venezuela without rewarding outright defiance

Drugs don’t move that needle. Oil does.

* This walnut butter is highly likely to be habit forming. 😎. (Not necessarily a bad thing). No added sugar. No added salt. No fillers. Just fresh organic walnuts.

With 18 new locations planned in Arizona and more on the way, Mr. Charlie’s is scaling with purpose—and rewriting the fast-food playbook at the same time.

😂 - Diddy’s lawyers acting like being a swinger and being a rapist are mutually exclusive…and then adding that he was not mentally capable of committing crimes due to drug use/ addiction.

A+ for theatrics legal team.

It gets more comical moment by moment.

[Ben Evolent @Trend_Maven]

When Diddy pops up in my news feed denying allegations for all the shit he’s accused of, I think back to how he vehemently denied Cassie’s allegations in November 2023, then immediately settled with her…then we see footage of him beating her in a hallway.

“Forever In Denial”

[Ben Evolent @Trend_Maven]

Wondering if #EricAdams’ indictment is related to #Diddy’s current situation.
Things that make you go “Humm”. 🧐
