It seems most people don't understand how severe the energy situation is right now in the Middle East. As of Friday, Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline has officially been shut down after recent attacks, putting -4 million barrels of daily oil exports at risk. Meanwhile, the Bab el-Mandeb Strait is now at risk of being shut down, threatening up to -9 million barrels of daily oil supply. All while the Strait of Hormuz is operating at ~20% of its pre-Iran War capacity, removing -15 million barrels of daily oil flows. Combined, this represents nearly ~30 MILLION barrels per day of oil flows that are either offline or at risk. Even after accounting for some overlap between these routes, the scale of the potential disruption is enormous relative to the ~100 million barrel per day global oil market. This is one of the most severe energy supply situations in modern history.

From the Texas Tribune: After Mexican officials confirmed case of screwworm in Nov. 2024, USDA, under Joe Biden, closed southern ports of entry to live cattle imports to prevent spread of screwworm into U.S. Move also strained supply of cattle in Texas....

A wave of bad economic news just dropped: U.S. GDP grew just 2% in Q1 2026, below the 2.2% estimate (and well below the 5% estimate from Howard Lutnick) Meanwhile, inflation rose 0.7% in March. Prices are up 3.5% from a year ago, the highest in nearly three years. U.S. gas prices just hit a $4.30 national average, per AAA, the highest in four years. The national debt just crossed 100% of GDP for the first time since 1946. No wonder most Americans say the economy is on the wrong track and believe it was better under Joe Biden. The Republican Party is going to get absolutely trounced in November.
