Monday morning #headlines recap Trump aborted Yemen strikes with bombs already loaded, target lists approved, ordnance loading on US warplanes, then a reversal by Sunday. Every day is TACO day… AAA national average hit $6.505/gal on 20 September, first time in history. A year ago: $3.70. Grassley wants an export embargo, but one analyst says that imposing the ban means refiners go into maintenance, you get shortages and record prices anyway. There isn’t a single adult in the room, is there? France burns 600,000 barrels of diesel a day and imports half its intake. Macron confirmed accelerated emergency stockpiling, with 1 in 9 French stations short of at least one fuel. Fuel queues and angry truckers already on camera. The LNG story is equally dire throughout many European nations. There isn’t a single western nation left that can simply conduct the functions of supplying its citizens with basic services (unless they’re invading browns of course). VLCCs on the Persian Gulf-China benchmark are earning upward of $1.2m a day, and in some regions there are barely any ships left for hire - long-haul crude trades are becoming economically unviable due to skyrocketing costs. One Japanese refiner bought Alaskan crude it isn't optimized for purely because the voyage is shorter. The problem isn’t just oil, either: Shanghai-LA container rates +201% year-over-year, approaching COVID-era highs. Largest drone raid of the war hits Moscow refinery; Russia retaliates overnight. Remember that time Trump told the two of them to stop shooting at refineries? Lulz. China has condemned Trump’s latest expansion of US sanctions against Russia, including potential tariffs of up to 100% on major buyers of Russian energy, vowing to take “all necessary measures” to safeguard its national interests. I’m running out of sanctions jokes… SoftBank is raising over $11bn in one of the biggest junk bond deals ever, to fund a follow-on OpenAI investment. It has sold ~$15bn of notes this year, making it 2026's biggest junk-rated borrower. In a related story:loans backing Oracle's Project Jupiter, which includes four data centers on 1,400 acres in New Mexico and $300bn of compute for OpenAI, funded by bonds, loans and Blue Owl equity, have fallen to stressed levels. The project is described as hopelessly mothballed and possibly never completing. Irrational exuberance always makes a comeback sooner or later… A new report from Politico on Anthropic vs. White House negotiations over Fable says things got so heated that Trump apparently wanted them jailed. The bigger story is the usual problem: people in positions of power making snap decisions about things they do not understand. Trump announced an "AI Force" and plans to name an AI czar. Enter the bureaucrats… AfD finished first in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern with SPD second; Merz's CDU posted its worst state result since the Federal Republic was founded. Merz called it a "disaster", then announced nothing and declined to resign. It’s fun to watch Merz squirm in post-election interviews like the little worm he is, but AfD will never be permitted to make meaningful changes. AI-generated accounts are cloning macro newsletter branding at scale, including "The Hormuz Letter”. The internet has been a real problem for (((TPTB))), so one way to neutralize the effectiveness of all these noticers is to flood the timeline with AI slop.
A complaint submitted to the House Ethics Committee claims Lauren Boebert had sex with three of her staffers: former District Director Clarice Navarro Ratzlaff, District Chief of Staff Raven Finegan, and former Chief of Staff Jeffrey Small. The complaint, submitted by David Wheeler under oath, also alleges that Boebert paid $200,000 in hush money to keep Ratzlaff from issuing an ethics complaint in March 2025. Damn, one of them was a nasty streetshitter female. She certainly has learned and mastered the standard congressional practices of being an absolute degenerate. Good news in short supply today, but I’ll post updates if I come across any… in the meantime, enjoy some morning coziness.

s2 was talking about how there's more to this france thinglike there's 1 company that decided to lock in their price or something and people went and emptied their stations but their gasoline stockpiles anyway are ok for now but that's not talking about diesel which is a major concerntbh it'd be kinda funny if the us stopped exporting for a few months, just to see what happenedalso how do all these climate change faggot look now, they were instrumental in hindering countries being independent in their production and were direct causes of many politicians demanding the end of so called fossil fuelsthe real silver lining is, that so called world leaders will have to address this, they wont be able to simply pay lip service, say the popular thing and side step any blow backits time to put up or shut upthe eu especially is so fukt
