It has been kind of a wild day on the Iran war front.
When it was announced that Trump would skip Don Jr.’s wedding taking place today in the Bahamas, many assumed that the reason was that military action and a resumption of hostilities was imminent. Me? I just figured Donnie Jr. has already been married once, divorced, engaged to ghastly Kimberly Guilfoyle before the engagement was broken off and now is marrying “Palm Beach socialite” Bettina Anderson so given Jr. and the rest of the family’s track record on marriage, Trump assumed he will have multiple future opportunities to attend Jr.’s weddings.
But then I saw this on Twitter earlier today….
…and that just screamed “bullshit pretense to justify new strikes on Iran”.
So I was expecting airstrikes tonight.
Then all of a sudden everyone is talking about a “peace deal” that is almost finalized. It sounds like it might be real but then again it also might be more market manipulation. Lindsey Graham is in full panic mode.
Notice the part I highlighted. Lindsey can’t possibly be so dumb as to not have known before hand that this was an unwinnable conflict short of “winning” by nuking Iran, which might have been the plan all along.
We shall see. If the “deal” just reopens Hormuz which was open before the war and nothing else Trump wants happens, especially with the nuclear material? Watch for the frantic goal post shifting “Reopening the Strait is a YUUUUGE victory for America!” and “Didn’t really want the nuclear material anyway!”.
Not coincidentally, Li’l Lindsey posted this a few hours ago….
It kinda sounds like we are going to declare some bullshit “victory” in Iran, scramble the hell out of there and go after an easier target like Cuba. Heads up Havana, Freedom Bombs incoming!
Cuba has fewer than 10 million people, is almost 15 times smaller than Iran, spends less than $100 million on the military and is right off our coast. Hell, we already have a large military base right on the island with something like 5,000 Marines and sailors. That might be an easier morsel for Trump to gobble up to save face. Of course I also read reports that Cuba has a bunch of new drones and Havana is only a little over 200 nautical miles from Miami so heads up for people in Florida: Cuba drone report sparks concern in South Florida after discussion of possible targets
Reaction from some members of Florida’s congressional delegation was swift.
Mario Diaz-Balart posted on social media that “It’s clear that the Cuban regime is a national security threat.”
That sounds like a tailor made situation for a little false flag action to gin up support for attacking Cuba.
This whole thing has been a national humiliation and a completely unnecessary one. At least if we get a “deal” gas prices will eventually come down….
Even if hands are held across the strait singing kumbaya, I wouldn’t expect gas prices to come down before fall. If then.
It’s discouraging that even the senator from South Carolina doesn’t know the difference between dominant and dominate. This is so prevalent now that pretty soon Webster’s is going to require an update to reflect the devolution of the language. As they did with the changing pronunciation of the spice known as cumin.
>doesn’t know the difference between dominant and dominate
To be fair, that might have been a Freudian slip by Miss Lindsey. Freudian, not the kind of slip he like to wear when on his knees getting dominated by negro bucks. Or so some people say.
Oh the terrifying awfulness! You have people that don’t like you when you are a robber baroness.
Go all out and hoist the Jolly Roger. A soap opera under the Yankee clown.
Noticed that gas is down under $4 but the summer blend reset is coming up.
And how could the price of gasoline be held so low? Maybe it’s because our, already badly depleted by the Biden Regime so called “Strategic Petroleum Reserve”, has been yet further depleted by the Orange Ape’s Regime looking to ameliorate the effects of their condign idiocy in the Middle East fracas.
Ya know what? The salt caverns which serve as the vessel for containment of the SPR, when emptied too much for too long of a time begin to collapse and become no longer fit for purpose.
Whoops, guess you can kiss that SPR goodbye because, first one Regime buys votes through its indefensible depletion, only to be followed by the
next one, this one desperate to obscure the totally predictable fiasco that would flow from their jew-mandated criminal actions, blows through still more of the diminished stocks in that reserve.
And while you are waving goodbye to the SPR, why don’t you also reconcile yourselves to the forthcoming collapse of the fiat dollar, and its status as the world’s reserve currency. Welcome to Palookaville, muppets. Just like Bibi said when caught on a hot microphone, the little hats would suck you dry, and when you were of no further use, they’d watch you collapse, ‘cause that’s what the little hats historically have done to their goyim victims. They’ll just move to Cyprus, or Greece, or Argentina, it’s their life cycle, after all.
A station i drove by today had $3.99/ gal. But it was 10% ethanol.
Everything within nearly 100 miles of me is 10% ethanol. Which is total bullshit, because I’d pay more to get pure gasoline that would improve my fuel economy, do less damage to my engines over time, and stay decent in storage longer that the ethanol laced garbage. But I’m not even given that option, unless I want to drive damn near 2 hours out state (one way) to get it. Obviously, that make no sense, unless I had a proper 100 gal gas storage tank to fill up and bring back home. Even then, that would only last me a bit over 3 weeks of average use on my daily driver. I’d probably need a 250 gallon tank to make such trips worthwhile, and there’s no way I’d store that much fuel at home, unless I had serious acreage where I could place it safely away from all structures.
Big Ruckus – don’t mean to be a pedant, and you obviously know your own area. Just wanted to be sure you’re aware of the website puregas.org, in case there might be somewhere to get ethanol-free gas a bit closer to you. We are blessed to have it at almost every station where we now live (rural Ozarks), but even back in the DFW ‘burbs it was actually available at a Buccees about 25 minutes away. Best of luck.
I’m aware of puregas.com, and check it periodically to see if any stations closer to home have opted to sell non-ethanol gas. So far, the closest available stations with real gas are about 85-90 miles away as the crow flies (so I may have very slightly exaggerated in my previous post, though the actual road miles are more) and there doesn’t seem to be any movement in stations closer to me picking it up.
I’ve setup a rig to extract ethanol from gas I buy locally, but that’s only good for making smaller quantities to run in small engines like lawn equipment and generators, which get fooked badly by running ethanol gas. And it eats up time I don’t really have to spare on yet another stupid inconvenience I shouldn’t have to deal with to begin with. To say nothing of the wastefulness of extracting and discarding the ethanol I was forced to pay for, even though I didn’t want it, and was given no practical alternative to.
Don’t have a WAWA near you so you can pay diesel prices for ethanol free gas?
I’m in the midwest, no where near a Wawa. Aren’t they mostly a Pennsylvania thing? Our single biggest operator here is QT (based out of Arkansas).
If anyone knows any sand and gravel guys, ask them how fast screened topsoil has been going out the door. Every one I know has been scrambling for more, and in Green Bay the price of off-road diesel is expected to cross $11 a gallon this summer as #1 diesel is prioritized for shipping at the refineries.
Ok, I’ll bite. I can see the diesel prices getting that high, but what’s with the sudden unusual topsoil demand? Is it farming related, or something else?
I would say it’s like the toilet paper craze where everyone is buying it like crazy because they are trying to grow a garden because they are scared of food shortages…
Ok, I can see that. I’ve noted more (attempted) home gardens locally. Just worked for a lady yesterday who has converted her entire front yard into a garden. I saw celery, snow peas, and asparagus (that I recognized on sight, there were other things growing as well) while there installing a second hose bibb that she needed to make watering a bit more convenient. This lady is clearly committed, and knows what she’s doing. I’d figure she has 4-5 years into the effort already by the looks of it.
She has a basement garden that grows year round with a drip irrigation system and LED lighting on timers, mostly growing herbs (but not the kind you smoke). She was starting work on a couple of raised beds in the back yard, too. I have to admire her level of dedication, and the effort spent to get all that done. Most people I see who try to start a garden do so on a whim, and lack the follow through to make much of it on a sustained basis.
Here’s a hypothesis; the topsoil is being stripped off to get at the sand, and is only a side hustle. The sand is going to be carted off to be used as fracking sand. The frackers are back in business now that the price is right for their light products, okay for gasoline but no bueno for diesel. But when the diesel runs out, the transport of goods largely will end, as diesel is the fuel of large and medium trucks, as well as of railway locomotives. Oh, dear… Fire trucks and other emergency vehicles, as well as road construction machinery, just for shits and giggles.
Don’t think that the Orange Ape and his claque thought this one out too well. And why would they, soft handed motherfuckers that they all are? But Hymie must be served, so we’re just shit out of luck, ladies and gentlemen.
Concerning Trump’s imperial ambitions, I’d almost rather he continue the Iran farce than focus on Cuba. As we all knew, Iran is not an ‘easy target’ and can’t be taken down by bombs and propaganda (and the offer to ‘free’ their womyn to become western-style whores). Cuba – what’s left of it with about 3 million of them in AINO – is almost entirely nogger/mulatto. More of the Mariel-style Cubans incoming. If Cuba is somehow ‘freed’ from it’s own government, the Cubans here will NOT be going ‘home’ – all the mystery-meat Cubans will be coming here – guarantee it. I already consider Florida as alien as New Yawk (nothing but jews, varying shades of mestizos, Haitians, and a the few country White people who haven’t already relocated), but adding another 11 million nonwhites to an already overcrowded, overbuilt area just means more overflow into other areas – like the already heavily colonized Carolinas.
And just in case someone decides that ‘actually,’ Cuba is officially 64% White – uhm, NO. Most of Latin America aspires to Whiteness, but doesn’t even come close any longer. People there who are 30-50% nonwhite routinely call themselves “White.” They are not, even by today’s merkan metrics. Eva Longoria – who hugely resents White people – is 70% White. Halle Berry is 50%. And yes, these are models/actresses, not ordinary people . . . and results vary tremendously.
The war won’t stop until Bibi is ready for it to stop.
Graham and his “…end the Iranian conflict…”?
.
That was a lie, the exact opposite of reality.
The peaceful Iranian people were enjoying their weekend, sipping soda-pops on the patio with a few shrimp on the barbie… and keezer-xionists got a momentary surge of ambition and commence to chucking ordnance at them.
.
‘Accuracy In Media’ ought to call it:
* “the latest continuation of the keezer-xionists wars against everybody”.
.
An aside:
Shirley, keezer-xionists anticipated SoH shipping would get blocked during their little ‘conflict’…
… unless they are complete blithering idjits.
Which is a distinct probability.
.
After all, these are the same ROCKET-SURGEONS planning on relaxing in their perfect utopia…
… while the brown toil the fields.
.
Maybe you might notice, the title ‘blithering idjits’ gets evermore applicable each time keezer-xionists do anything.
.
An evolutionary dead-end?
