The U.S. Treasury Department announced Thursday it was taking steps to further ease sanctions on Russian oil as crude prices surge during the Iran war.
"On an annual basis, the Russian economy gains around 0.7% for every $10 the oil price moves. Currently, Russia can balance its budget with a price of $59 a barrel..."
"Top Trump officials acknowledged to lawmakers during recent classified briefings that they did not plan for the possibility of Iran closing the strait in response to strikes."

RFK Jr is trying to get 14 peptides licensed without data on safety or efficacy. His favorite is BPC-157.
"Only three small human studies of BPC-157 exist, the largest of which is a telephone survey of 16 people who received an injection of the drug for knee pain"

Exclusive: US intelligence says Iran government is not at risk of collapse, say sources reut.rs/4rnENQ7
I asked President Trump about the FBI reportedly seizing election records in Arizona. He said they must have done that because it was a βriggedβ election. I pointed out to him that his own AG said there was not measurable voter fraud to overturn that election. Then he called me a rotten reporter.
I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasnβt gotten around to doing anything about it yet.
Hegseth should spend a little less time worrying about how he looks in photos and a little more time fixing the fucking disaster he has created in Iran and the Strait of Hormuz.

Sea mines are simple weaponsβbut they can wreak havoc on the global economy. Here's what makes them so powerful.
The pretense of power is as much of a drug as power itself.
Diplomatic staff at the American consulate in Erbil were also forced to shelter-in-place when the facility came under attack from Iran before they were ultimately flown out of the country by the British Royal Air Force due to constraints on the U.S. military, which would normally carry out such a mission, according to the officials. The U.K. Ministry of Defense confirmed to ABC News that the RAF carried "a number of US consulate staff and contractors, at their request" from Iraq to Cyprus.
Trump apparently needed one of those allies he doesn't need anymore to rescue the Americans in Iraq who weren't evacuated before Trump shat the place up.
Meanwhile, Witkoff is meeting with the people who helped Iran do the targeting.

The British police interviewed Virginia Giuffre three times over her allegations about Jeffrey Epstein, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Ghislaine Maxwell but declined to investigate her claims of being trafficked. The question of why no action was taken has recently drawn greater scrutiny.
