"In Albania, the situation has completely spiraled out of control.
The Albanian people are calling on all celebrities to speak out publicly about them. Amplify our voice to the world. We will not accept the occupation of our land by the United States and Israel."
WTF? Why did Republican Congressman Brian Mast wear an Israeli military uniform inside our nations capitol?
He is also the chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. He needs removed from the committee and removed from office.
No other country would allow this to happen.
Inflation is the silent thief.
Over the last 30 years, it cut the value of $1 in half.
But $1 invested in the S&P 500 grew to over $9 – AFTER adjusting for higher prices.
That’s the power of ownership.
HORMUZ | Daily crude transit capacity update
Jailbreak cooled off: ~6M bbls documented today vs ~24M bbls yesterday.
1️⃣ Iran: NOT a majority of Hormuz transits. 30 mln bbls quoted widely were already outside Hormuz
2️⃣ Kuwait: ~1.4M bbls/day missing. KOTC fleet entirely dark for 50+ days.
3️⃣ Saudi: bypass included, still majority of Gulf exports, but UAE is counterintuitively close. Likely more Saudi bbls dark.
4️⃣ Ballast inbound: far fewer empty vessels returning than laden leaving. Pre-war: 100+ crude tankers loading/drifting in the Gulf. Today: 94. If nobody wants to return to jail, we’ll have a problem down the road.

BREAKING: The US has issued Iran a general oil-related license allowing the production, delivery, and sale of Iranian-origin oil, petrochemical, and petroleum products through August 21st.
Iranian oil is officially returning to global markets for the first time since 2018.
Qatar brought an empty LNG tanker back into the Persian Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz for the first time since the war in Iran began 🇶🇦 ⚠️
This is an important development
It shows that Qatar is now looking to expand exports, instead of just pushing out stranded tankers
Verified crossings still at historic lows
As of 17 June, Kpler observed six verified crossings across the monitored zone. Traffic was weighted east to west, and most vessels followed established Iranian coastal passage routes. One sanctioned vessel, Ostria, was identified transiting east to west in ballast. No additional physical attacks have been confirmed since 10 May, leaving the maritime risk picture broadly unchanged. The latest movements come as US-Iran discussions continue around a proposed 60 day memorandum intended to support maritime security and preserve the current ceasefire framework. While transit activity continues, relatively low crossing volumes indicate that shipping patterns remain cautious rather than fully restored.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi:
Any military attack by the Zionist regime against Lebanon, and the continuation of the occupation, constitutes a violation of the Memorandum of Understanding.
Without the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the territories they occupied in this war, the war will not fully end.

THE MIGHTY CABO VERDE JUST HELD SPAIN TO A GOALLESS DRAW 🤯🇨🇻
The worst case scenario WTI price seems to be confirmed around $80.
Looks like $80 may be the new $55.
That's an excellent foundation for investors in oil producers to build value.#OOTT
Strait of Hormuz traffic remains uneven
Vessel activity through the Strait of Hormuz continues, but traffic patterns remain uneven and visibility remains limited. According to #MarineTraffic data, 29 verified vessel crossings were recorded between 10 and 14 June, covering crude, refined products, LPG, chemicals, methanol, and general cargo movements. Activity was concentrated on 11 and 12 June, while directional flows remained imbalanced: 23 crossings moved west-to-east, compared with six in the opposite direction.
Route transparency also remains a key issue, with 18 crossings, or around 62%, classified as Dark or Unknown Route. Two sanctioned vessels were also identified during the period.
Joe Rogan watches in disbelief as a video reveals America’s “nonprofit” hospitals actually rake in $45,000,000,000 in profit every year.
ROGAN: “Motherf*ckers.”
One CEO at NYU Langone paid himself $15,300,000 a year.
Other CEOs paid themselves $4,500,000 while nurses made about $70,000 a year.
P. DAVIS JONES: “A congressman recently described some nonprofit hospitals as ‘hedge funds with hospital beds,’ and I was like, ‘I bet they are.’”
“The total revenues of nonprofit hospitals in America in 2023 was $1.3 trillion. Nonprofit hospitals were making $45 billion worth of profit.”
“A study that looked at almost 1,500 nonprofit hospitals found that 86% of them provided LITTLE TO NO charity.”
“It goes to executives, these CEOs getting paid about $4.5 million a year. Meanwhile, their nurses make about 70K.”
“Here’s a guy, Robert [Grossman], at a hospital in New York who paid himself $15.3 million a year. Nonprofit hospital.”
