The Straight of Hormuz issue is a big problem now

If this goes on for much longer the next Depression is going to be worst than the one in the 1930s.

You're 100% correct but Hegseth followed like a puppy dog. Remember when he said he was a "recovering Neocon?" This little clip didn't age well at all:

Let me be helpful. I spent 42 years as a loyal Democrat. None of them are a lick of being conservative. I was no more conservative than your pooch is. I was upset with Carter, a president I voted for and saw how foolish he was. His acts changed me profoundly. I studied for 2 years in earnest, asking what is a good decent citizen? I reviewed materials I had never knew about. Why was George Washington the true traitor such a revered man? Was it because he was mind boggling rich? Was it he was the profound owner of hundreds of slaves? How could a man who owned slaves be a hero?

I studied Thomas Paine. Do study him to learn a lot. Anyway, I voted for Reagan and that upset my mother. She was the political figure in my family. Dad never let us know his feelings. I was picking to be a Libertarian. Then I realized not one of them rose to prominence. So next After voting for Reagan, I decided to come in out of the cold and stick to Republicans. And have been happy ever since.

All the way to about 1945.

Diesel in some places in town has reached $5.00 per gallon. This is VERY bad news for our economy.

Where, in what town?

 

[MayorQuimby]

My guess? The Zionists of Israel.

Sir you are very hot indeed.

 

[MayorQuimby]

You have to have some credibility in claiming you are interested, and you don't. Zionist Fascism is hell bent on "convicting" Tyler and it isn't about guilt, it is about cover up.

Sir, you mis-read my post. I am on the same side as you. The meaning of my post is that the gun-man was the proximate cause of Kirk's death, while the Israeli government is the distal cause.

Fortunately, you get no refined products from the Straight of Hormuz.

 

[Robert W]

That's the proximate cause. But what is the distal cause?

His rifle.

And the Iranians have nothing to lose so every able-bodied person will fight to the death. And they still have lots of tricks up their sleeves (hidden weaponry, help from foreign powers, and millions of warriors). They were literally attacked when they were supposedly in "negotiations." At this point, nobody on earth can trust Trump. He turned on his base; he turned on his allies and trade partners; he's bombed more nations in a year than any other President in the history of the USA. He's unstable yet he's under the complete control of Is-A-Real-Lie (I was going to say Netanyahu but nobody has seen him around lately).

Then they can lose their lives. I hope the protesters rise up and retake theur country

Perhaps if any of them live through the carpet bombing, they will. But the warmongers created a martyr when they killed a major, religious leader. And if I had a choice between "protesting" my government or protesting a foreign enemy bombing my home ... I'm likely going to protest the foreign enemy who's destroying my life, my livelihood, my friends & family, and my peace of mind.

And if Iran's "protestors" are anything like America's protestors (Antifa, BLM, & white, liberal women) then their numbers are few and they could very well be delusional. I don't know as I've never met an Iranian protestor. How about you?

$94.29 at the time of this post...

The $200 was a prediction/threat from the Ayatollah's "dumb" kid, the new head of state apparently, maybe...

Sure, he is.

The $200 was gleefully posted as a thread by one of our many "not Democrat" Trump haters, and happily commented on by the TDS folk on here.

The Ayatollah's kid was not cited. The source was "experts."

Thread 'Oil Blows Past $100 Per Barrel - Experts Warning $200 Possible'

Mar 8, 2026

Oil prices blow past $100 a few hours ago for the first time in years. Experts warning investors to expect all time highs.

Not what a weakening economy needs that’s for sure.

The people who relied on these "experts" for this prediction are sad today. The "experts" are not, because they know that the same people who relied on their advice will be right back when they need another Trump hit piece.
