@THMLibertarian You’re clearly not old enough to have watched this in real time

Clint Eastwood is 96 today & out of all the amazing things this man has accomplished over the course of his lifetime, I don’t think he’s ever topped Unforgiven. This film won Eastwood Best Director & Best Picture at the Oscars & rightfully so. Cheers to a Cinema legend. 🎂

It really is 4 Life.
And it was the time of my life.
The nWo invasion started 30 years ago.
The absolute high point for wrestling.
A look at what made it special.
RIP, Scott.

@pj_history @TheGarden I have a small hot take/theory. I don’t think they ever mastered it live. I love the studio version but I don’t think they ever found it live

So far, this Iran operation is a cascade of worst‑case outcomes.

• Iran effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, collapsing tanker traffic by 80–90% and sending oil prices from about $65 to over $110 in just over a week.

• U.S. operational costs: ~$1B per day.

• Iranian drone and missile attacks have killed 7 Americans and wounded 18.

• A likely U.S. strike on Feb 28 hit the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ elementary school in Minab, killing ~165–175 civilians—mostly schoolgirls aged 7–12z

• Kuwait was expected to have ~18 days of storage before cuts, but began reducing oil output within 2–3 days of the blockade.

• Iraqi oil production from its main southern fields has collapsed by 70%.

• Qatar's Energy Minister Saad al-Kaabi warned Gulf exporters may halt production within days, potentially spiking oil to $150 per barrel within 2-3 weeks.

• U.S. embassy evacuations collapsed into disaster: State Dept delayed approvals 1–4 days, facilities struck, thousands stranded amid closed airspace/airports, slow military/charter rollout.

• Treasury issued a 30‑day OFAC waiver allowing India to continue purchasing Russian oil, reversing years of U.S. pressure discouraging those imports.

• Iran’s Supreme Leader has been replaced by his more hardline son, Mojtaba Khamenei — and with Iran likely heavily protecting him, Trump’s likely push to remove him could take time, prolonging the crisis and its costs.

• The Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow estimate for Q1 2026 growth plunged from 3.0% (Mar 2) to 2.1% (Mar 6) — a 0.9 pp drop in just four days.

• U.S. gas prices jumped from about $2.95 to ~$3.40/gal in a week (≈40–60¢, one of the fastest increases ever), while diesel surged ~50–75¢ to ~$4.30–$4.50.

• U.S. stocks have fallen since Feb 28: S&P 500 −2.0%, Dow −3.0%, Nasdaq −1–2%.

• Despite hopes the strikes might trigger regime collapse, protests so far are nowhere near the scale of the January 2026 nationwide uprising.

• The Fed’s ability to cut rates is constrained even with weak jobs data, as surging oil has pushed up inflation expectations.

Dead Americans, $100/barrel oil, billions of dollars a day on a massive war that's so far replaced an 86-year-old tyrant with his son.

Fmr. SoS Anthony Blinken says that Israel tried to pressure Obama to bomb Iran by saying they were going to bomb them with or without them, and Obama resisted.

Israel used the same strategy that caused Trump to fight Iran.

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.
