shithole claims he is the smartest man in the whole entire world and universe.

Gas prices and food prices will remain high, the economy is going down, but hey at least shithole gets to have a 80th birthday bash on taxpayer's dime.

Here's hoping that enough Republicans cross their line of shame and vote with the Democrats to impeach.

Iran says there will be no peace talks with the US until its demands on the cessation of Israeli operations in Lebanon and Gaza are met, according to the IRGC-affiliated Tasnim news agency.

Tasnim reported that Iran’s negotiating team is pulling out of message exchanges through mediators with the US over Israel’s offensive in Lebanon.

Tasnim further reported that Iran and what it called its “resistance front”, or proxies, will look to completely block the strait of Hormuz. It said it will also look to “activate” other fronts, including the Bab el-Mandem strait, which sits off the coast of Yemen, across the Arabian peninsula from the strait of Hormuz.

The Houthis, an Islamist armed group that controls large parts of Yemen, are allies of Iran – they have previously targeted shipping in the Red Sea and likely the “resistance” referred to by Iran in the statement.

we are about 2-4 weeks away from "tank bottom" or the end of our oil reserves that are keeping the price of gas as
low as it is.

When that happens gas will skyrocket in price in order to dampen demand then move into rationing.

Shit is going to hit the fan soon people.

Further reducing the west's mineral sources.

This is a pretty significant development. Probably a bigger deal than many realize today.

And resolution depends completely on Israel, who (IMHO) has no interest or intention to assist us here. They've been waiting for this situation for a long time and they won't let it go easily.
