I've got to figure out why blog posts are only picking up one tag. Anyway, wrote this about the fash and their use of so-called "biological reality."

I'm not seeing anything explosive in the Strait for Hormuz so I guess traders were just wanting more out of the Shitstain Summit?

Oof. Team? Brace for impact.

Wholesale inflation jumped to 6%, and unlike last time Trump's policies led to this, there's no strong economy and no plague to blame it on. It's not just oil.

You've got _maybe_ a couple of weeks before you see this hit retail. If there's something you need and you can order it early, doing it _now_ is... not a bad idea.

It's not always that simple, but this time it might be.

Tennessee Republicans are just leading the way. They'll do this everywhere they can:

https://www.actionnews5.com/2026/05/12/multiple-tn-democrats-stripped-all-committee-assignments/

Republicans in Tennessee just removed almost every Democrat (including every Black person) from every legislative committee and subcommittee. It's whites-only in the Tennessee legislature now, and almost entirely Republicans only - the only exceptions are a few which are legally required... for the moment.

This article's interesting, particularly in the inability of either side to be flexible. It's a recipe for this dragging on for months.

PBS talk to Columbia's Karen Young about fuel shortages in east Asia, and attempts to control demand in response.

So far Europe, the US, and higher-reserve countries in Asia are mostly seeing price impacts on transportation so far.

It'll take 3-4 _months_ in some areas (Kuwait in particular) to fully restart wells, and those won't restart until portside storage is drawn down enough to provide a destination. So add the 45(ish) days transit time, and you're looking at, oh... 5-6 months of follow-on impacts and upwards price pressure just for crude oil.

And that, of course, doesn't even get into the price impacts on derived products, which are legion.

SO MUCH FOR NO NAVY: Overnight (Cascadian / Pacific time), Iran attacked a third ship attempting to make a run through the Strait. More importantly, they escorted two of the ships to the Iranian shoreline, which is hard to do if you don't have at least some sort of functional military ship, even if small.

In addition to the Greek-registered Epaminondas, the IRGC attacked the Euphoria and the MSC Francesca, both registered through Panama. The MSC Francesca and Epaminondas were reportedly "seized" and taken to the Iranian coat.

Hopefully, someone will check trade records late after Shitstain's liefest on Friday that sent oil prices down $10 a barrel. If you haven't kept up:

1) Iran re-closed the strait after Shitstain opened his stupid fucking mouth

2) At least two ships trying to make it through in the so-called "open" period came under Iranian fire

3) Nobody's in the Strait right now other than a couple of Iranian fishing boats and one cargo craft, near shore. None are near the transit area. The one that shows up as present and underway under power hasn't updated its data in almost 12 hours at time of post, so it's safe to assume it's not there.

Images 11 hours apart.

This is getting weird. Unless someone is doing reserve releases triggered by trades at $105 or something else to keep the price down.

#oil #OilPrice #economy #IranWar #FuckTrump #FuckTheGOP #FuckRepublicans #fascism

EXCITING IT IS!

The closed price is still up for some reason, but we're up like $9.50ish to $105.09 in opening trades

I'm still trying to dig up the actual terms, but I am finding sure makes it look like Iran has achieved a massive strategic victory over Team Shitstain. Most notably:

"The two-week ceasefire plan includes allowing both Iran and Oman to charge fees on ships transiting through the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf, a regional official said Wednesday.

...

The strait is in the territorial waters of both Oman and Iran. The world had considered the passage an international waterway and never paid tolls before."

In comments, @dl2jml provides another, differing analysis that is also interesting:

https://houseofsaud.com/mbs-netanyahu-trump-iran-war-saudi-strategy/

I have a somewhat higher number of doubts about this one, for a couple of reasons, but it's certainly plausible, and definitely interesting.

I could get into what I see as its flaws but I really need to get into Costco today, so I'm gonna do that instead. Maybe later. ^_^

I saw an interesting analysis on how fucked US-Saudi relations are now and why, but it's on a Meta platform. [EDIT: Originally sourced elsewhere, turns out. Not that Substack is any great shakes either, but it's better than Meta]

Peak of $107.35 so far, by the way. Currently below that, but still over $107. I'm sure there'll be plenty of daytime coverage for everyone to follow in the next couple of hours. G'night!
