"We're in uncharted territory- if WTI crude holds these gains tomorrow- the current rise of 29.9% or $27.16/bbl would be its largest single day price jump- in both percent and amount- ever. Ever. EVER."

"The White House reacted angrily Monday after a report revealed Steve Witkoff, President Donald Trump's Middle East envoy, has been privately texting Iranian officials in the hopes of resuming peace negotiations — but the texts have been ignored."
Oh, did it react angrily? Did it really? Well have I ever. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.
Can we now talk about what the world is waiting for? Basically for a bunch of Congresspersons to stop fucking WETTING themselves, drag this guy out of the half demolished White House, in front of a judge and from there to the slammer where he belongs. And then on with the rest of his gang of fascist traitors.
Land of the brave indeed.
