I pointed out last night that we would have to wait for confirmation on the ground when the sun came up to see if CENTCOM was telling the truth about knocking down every Iranian missile in Kuwait. This is why nobody can take *anything* we say at face value.
It’s both shameful and disheartening.
I'm surprised more people aren't talking about this. California will hit tank bottoms for jet and diesel by July 4th.
The Asian import arbitrage is dead, local refining is tapped, and none of this is reversible for 12-18 months.
Could this be the Energy Crisis' Lehman moment?

One of the three main agreements contained in the 1981 Algiers Accord, which led to the release of American hostages from Iran, was that the United States would never again intervene politically or militarily in Iranian internal affairs.
There is a reason they don't trust us.
@RossMcKitrick @ReadyDavidM @aposticon@AngusReid@DrJacobsRad Bryce pamphlet (1922) https://t.co/UNyw6lqMC6 is cited by critics. Bryce stated that EVERY child that he examined who was awaiting admission was infected by tuberculosis. He said it was "plain that infection was got in the home primarily".
Bill Pulte?!? Oh, C'mon, Donald. This partisan hack, silver spoon ne'er do well and loud-mouthed bully boy wanna be is less qualified for the DNI post than any of the first 100 names in the Staten Island phone book. It shows your utter contempt for anyone even remotely qualified for a job in your administration, which, instead, amounts to a gallery of risible sycophants. Pulte will fit right in along side them in the clown car of Hegseth, Rubio, Kushner and Witcoff
the first major article on CO2 fertlization was in mid-1980s by LaMarche and Graybill, who attributed higher growth rates of high-altitude stripbark bristlecone pines to CO2 fertilization. These stripbark bristlecones were then given fantastically high weights in the well known Mann hockey stick under Mann's notorious short-centered "principal" components. Even after the problems with stripbark bristlecone data were pointed out, by then the paleoclimate community was addicted to results from these "proxies" and they have continued in use in PAGES2K to this day.
"The world is a greener place than it was 20 years ago, as shown on this map, where areas with the greatest increase in foliage are indicated in dark green."

ΤΟ ΝΑΤΟ ΠΡΕΠΕΙ ΝΑ ΠΕΘΑΝΕΙ: Αποτελεί προκεχωρημένη βάση για πολέμους που η Ευρώπη δεν επέλεξε, εναντίον αντιπάλων που η Ευρώπη δεν έχει, στην υπηρεσία υπερδύναμης που βλέπει την Ευρώπη ως αποικία https://t.co/ymca3uHNKs
The White House Statement on Iran on March 3, 2026 https://t.co/U0e9VnGy82 was almost word-for-word an undisclosed plagiarism of an FDD internet article published on the occasion of the June 2025 US-Israeli attack on Iran https://t.co/pHWthtpLiY
Former CIA Agent John Stockwell: "We pumped dozens of stories about Cuban atrocities, Cuban rapists... We didn't know of a single atrocity committed by the Cubans.
It was pure, raw, false propaganda"
if US has power to control dollar flows through unilateral sanctions - the US Dollar Strait so to speak, why would Iran agree to unrestricted passage through the Strait of Hormuz until US agrees to unrestricted passage through the US Dollar Strait?
Wait until @Jim_Jordan discovers Tel-Aviv born Miriam Adelson gave $200 million of her Chinese gambling money to Trump and just spent millions on fake ads to take out this Republican in Kentucky because I am opposed to all foreign aid and American sponsored genocide.
We are ~9 million bbls away from hitting a storage level that's the equivalent of living paycheck to paycheck for gasoline and distillate.
Once we get there, even a minor disruption (any sort of outage) will result in gasoline lines at gas stations.
I guess we are really doing this.
@DanielLMcAdams Question: is the Iran war proving or disproving Mike Tyson's famous phrase: “Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth." Do we know whether Trump, Hegseth and Rubio actually had a plan?
back in December 2009, Fox News sent Eric Shawn and a crew to Toronto to cover a Munk Debate on climate change. This was contemporary with a big climate conference in Copenhagen and with release of Climategate emails. https://t.co/innkVDE2jA
I had coffee meetings with two of the debaters: George Monbiot and Nigel Lawson. Both very cordial.
While Fox was in Toronto, Eric Shawn did a long interview with me, excerpts later shown in a Fox special. I was extremely impressed with the quality and thoughtfulness of Shawn's interviewing and with the thoroughness of the producer's preparation - they had taken the trouble to ask me some questions that showed knowledge of my particular interests.
This was almost the high water mark of climate hysteria. Times have changed.
Heh. At 47:00 Nuland threatens that if Iran got nukes, then Israel might have to.
She doesn't seem to think she's lying.
Could this horrible, destructive woman really be as ignorant as she seems?
Ethically and practically, it very much looks like reckless or intentional misrepresentation for financial gain.
The firms knew the scenario was highly questionable, yet they kept selling it as credible risk intelligence because it was profitable.
This is one of the ugliest parts of the entire RCP 8.5 saga: the science became corrupted, and then it was monetized.
The combination of ideological capture and financial incentives created a perfect storm.
