Unfortunately the glaring example of how America's place in the world is tanking and we are an embarrassment of leadership or lack thereof. CASE IN POINT that illustrates where Merca is today. The President of Finland called trumps behavior out from the podium in the US/NY. Necessary, but embarrassing. We are getting lectured by Finand and we deserve it.


Told you if gas broke $5-6 a gallon they would start nationalizing the O&G...

Personally, I think most O&G operators are complete scumbags and collude to price gouge the hell out of the consumer so I have little sympathy for the industry.

You think??? Proud would be good. There isn't collusion, period. It is a global price and global commodity. Why are prices so high? It is called a WAR we started and are literally paying the price. You Maga's can thank Gold Jesus.


Global commodity. Can't say it enough

So, we don't attack Iran and oil is still where it is?

good news is we totally destroyed their Nuke capabilities in 2 days and we are out, right. Oil and all its products would be exactly where they were prior to the war. Where would the price be if Fat Boy didn't tear up the JCPOA. Nah, lets rip it up with NO plan.

The plan is always regime change, until it doesn't work.

No worse. CIA types seem to love the "concept" of destabilizing and letting the people rise up. Only it doesn't happen, the Regime kills 30k and everyone goes home. But, we keep following the plan that maybe worked once or if at all. Then, wait for it, we don't really know...

Eight Marines Were Injured By Iranian Anti-Ship Cruise Missile Attack 2 Weeks Ago

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/eight-marines-were-injured-iranian-anti-ship-cruise-missile-attack-2-weeks-ago

"Several days ago The Washington Post reported that the Pentagon quietly added dozens to its tally of American servicemembers wounded amid the Iran war.

Since March and hearkening back to the opening weeks of Operation Epic Fury, there's been an alleged constant Trump administration effort to conceal or at least downplay damage and casualties from Iranian retaliation strikes on US bases in the region."

Jerusalem Post/Israel News/Defense News

Hamas official's arrest in Gaza gave Israel intelligence surge to kill top terrorists - exclusive

Three Hamas brigade commanders have been killed since September 11, following the September 2 capture of senior Hamas security official Mu'in al-Arabid in Gaza.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2026 12:02

The arrest of a senior Hamas official on September 2 gave Israel tremendous intelligence which has helped create a spike in locating and assassinating other top Hamas officials, funds, and weapons, The Jerusalem Post has learned.

On September 2, the IDF, Shin Bet, and various Palestinian militias captured Mu'in al-Arabid, one of Hamas's top internal security officials.

The IDF and Shin Bet on Tuesday confirmed the overnight assassination of Hamas Northern Gaza Brigade Chief Izz al-Din al-Bik in Gaza City.

This is the third assassination of a Hamas brigade chief since September 11, meaning that three out of the five brigade commanders have been killed during that period.

Al-Bik had served in his current role since Ahmed Randur was assassinated by Israel on November 10, 2023.

According to the joint statement, al-Bik was responsible for managing the activities of the brigade's operatives, including issuing orders to carry out attacks on Israeli soldiers and civilians.

He also managed efforts to reconstitute the brigade's capabilities, which had been heavily damaged over the last three years of war, said the IDF.

Defense Minister Israel Katz disclosed the assassination in a statement shortly before the official IDF and Shin Bet statement.

Prior, the IDF killed two of five Hamas brigade commanders
In mid-September, the IDF and Shin Bet killed Muhammad Yazouri in the Khan Yunis area. Yazouri served as commander of Hamas's Khan Yunis Brigade.

Yazouri was appointed to the position after holding a series of roles in the brigade, including deputy commander of the Khan Yunis Brigade.

He replaced Rafa Salame.

Further, in mid-September, the IDF and Shin Bet also announced that they had struck Hamas Rafah Brigade commander Nayal Abu Obeid.

Obeid replaced his predecessor, Mohammad Shabanah, who was killed by the IDF in May 2025.

Abu Obeid was a key figure among Hamas leaders, according to a statement from the IDF, and previously served as the deputy commander of the Rafah Brigade and commander of the Tel al-Sultan and Yibna Battalions.

Unlikely.

I got into MBA school and decided to go that route. I still think about it everyday….

I am excited we aren't gonna have a liberal clown show in the Military now. No more DEI etc/ wokeism

I can appreciate that you at least considered serving our country in our armed forces. Such service is voluntary and not for everyone. And serving in business is, in my opinion, service to this nation. So thank you.

I would expect that a person such as you would consider that many other fine people faced the same choices as you did. And some chose differently, for whatever reason.

And I would expect someone like you would appreciate their choices and sacrifices.

No matter what their political inclinations.

sure you have an MBA. If you did, you would know it's called Business School, not MBA School. lol Now, that's funny. Didn't know Mclennan County Community College had grad programs. You don't even have a job cap. Goldman Sachs.

Well? Do you think it is dangerous for Musk to have this much control? OR do you think he is the modern Hughes? Or both?

Come on, an opinion...

Need more details. For example, how much control does Musk have, or is he just opining as he has before?

Looks like a committee on future weapons. Similar to DOGE, he has interests in SpaceX and Tesla, as well as Satellite work.

Not a negative, a question on civilians playing which is why I referenced Howard Hughes. Don't make it a negative. It is a question.

Not saying it was anything, but I don't want to offer an opinion on a vague premise.

Elon Musk having power to affect my rights or costs, is a big potential problem

Elon Musk making broad statements that are as likely to happen as the Astros making the World Series this year, not something I worry about.

Good point. I have no issues with that. If he is there as a futurist to visualize the battle field of the future and what tools will be needed I think he is a good choice. If it ends up with sole source contracts, I have an issue.

It's hard to square articles like that one with all the videos that get posted on reddit every week of gulf oil infrastructure getting hit by drones...

Considering the current environment, with elevated prices and the US now openly begging/threatening Europe to release diesel stores, as we release another 40m barrels from our own SPR...I'm inclined to believe that the situation is not as rosy as the WSJ's wartime/election season propaganda piece wants us to think it is.

How many of those trucking companies hired illegal aliens with Cali, NY, or Illinois CDL's who did not know English or US traffic laws? Those forms deserve to go bankrupt for endangering the lives of all Americans on US highways. We've already had a significant number of people killed by such drivers in the past 1-2 years. Now the states granting illegal CDL's need to be held accountable.
