i feel like such a moron for thinking this was transitory. despite this, we are re-allocating, gaining broad commodity-proxy exposure through international allocations, domestic energy, and staples companies as the staples to discretionary transition weighs on growth
Imagine Amazon — but for combat drones. Ukraine built it. Commanders log in, browse hundreds of drone models, pay with brigade credits and receive delivery in 5-10 days.
Successful strikes earn bonus credits. No other military in the world does this — NYT. 1/
Tiger Woods called U.S. President Donald Trump from the scene of his rollover crash before his DUI arrest in Florida, saying “I was just talking with the president.”
Trump's approval rating in YouGov/Economist is almost as bad as Biden's was after the debate. Worse than any point in his first term, despite starting substantially higher
Iran is the head of the snake for global terrorism, and through President Trump’s Operation Epic Fury, we are winning this critical fight at an even faster pace than anticipated. In response to Iran’s terrorist attacks against global energy infrastructure, the Trump Administration will continue to deploy America’s economic and military might to maximize the flow of energy to the world, strengthen global supply, and seek to ensure market stability.
Today, the Department of the Treasury is issuing a narrowly tailored, short-term authorization permitting the sale of Iranian oil currently stranded at sea.
At present, sanctioned Iranian oil is being hoarded by China on the cheap. By temporarily unlocking this existing supply for the world, the United States will quickly bring approximately 140 million barrels of oil to global markets, expanding the amount of worldwide energy and helping to relieve the temporary pressures on supply caused by Iran. In essence, we will be using the Iranian barrels against Tehran to keep the price down as we continue Operation Epic Fury.
This temporary, short-term authorization is strictly limited to oil that is already in transit and does not allow new purchases or production. Further, Iran will have difficulty accessing any revenue generated and the United States will continue to maintain maximum pressure on Iran and its ability to access the international financial system.
So far, the Trump Administration has been working to bring around 440 million additional barrels of oil to the global market, undercutting Iran’s ability to leverage its disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz.
President Trump’s pro-energy agenda has driven U.S. oil and gas production to record levels, strengthening energy security and lowering fuel costs. Any short-term disruption now will ultimately translate into longer-term economic gains for Americans – because there is no prosperity without security.

Following contradictory statements by several outlets on Joe Kent, attributed to senior officials in the Trump Administration, CBS News is now reporting that the FBI is investigating Former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent in connection with alleged leaks of classified information, with the investigation alleged to have going on prior to his resignation, being conducted by the FBI’s Criminal Division.
Contrary to Trump’s statements, senior Israeli and U.S. officials said that the United States had prior knowledge of the Israeli strike and even approved it in an attempt to pressure Iran. After the Iranians retaliated against Qatar’s gas fields, Trump is now changing course
Trump says there will be ‘NO MORE’ Israeli attacks on Iran’s South Pars gas field, and that US knew nothing about attack and Qatar wasn’t involved
— but warns Tehran that the US will ‘massively blow up’ the whole thing if it keeps attacking Qatar

The industrial economy is starting to ramp.
Flatbed trucking tender volumes has taken out an all-time high, eclipsing last year's steel and aluminum tariff pull forward.
This is what the early innings of a manufacturing renaissance should look like: strong, surging flatbed volumes
