I’m wondering if this might be a heads-up about the oil shock that’s about to happen and what the government is planning to do to help counter it. There has already been some ‘freedom’ gas stations selling gas at a discount in a couple of states, wondering it that was the trial phase before many more are brought on line.

AI is saying Trump will try and cover lots of things. “Senior White House advisers indicate the speech from the Oval Office will be a “potpourri” format that also covers domestic topics like election integrity. However, the primary focus will center on the sudden collapse of last month’s fragile ceasefire.”

Lots of topics is good. His supporters will lose trach after a few along with their Fuehrer – Caligula 2.0

I thought he was going to talk about the 2020 election investigation but maybe there’s more. It probably changes by the hour. But if Mish’s checklist is good then Kalshi might be a good place bet on which key words come up. But bet at your own risk. I made a small bet on the St of the Union and won on a key word. Then on the next speech, about Iran I loaded up and the SOB actually stuck to his script; well mostly. But I let my choices ride. What I didn’t know is the pricing (odds) were changing real time. I could have at least gotten even if not made money had I been attentive. Hey why not make a few bucks on all the lies. It’ll be worth more than any paper his address is printed on.

Mish’s list is fantastic. I especially laughed at “Iran wants to make a deal”.

For those too young to remember, Nixon put us on year-round daylight saving time for about a month and a half in 73 or 74. That ended after people didn’t like their kids waiting for school buses in the morning in the dark in January.

The Brits used daylight savings and double daylight savings during the war to conserved energy (coal). It works. And, during the winter, people just don’t like getting up and going to work two hours before sunrise. I really don’t understand what the whining about daylight savings is about. You can read where there’s a jump in deaths when the clocks are changed. If you’re in such sad shape that moving your clock an hour is going to kill you, well, bye.

My straight-faced guess is, having failed to get the SAVE Act, Trump will announce that FBI and DOJ have uncovered, and will prosecute, “election fraud,” dating back some years. He will try to procure multiple court orders to manipulate state election activities, but I suspect he will try first to just do it by executive order, with strong-arm raids and so on. I expect he will try to unseat (and prosecute) at least two sitting Senators, possibly including Georgia.

‘In an interview with Fox News on Tuesday, Trump said he would consider a ground operation “if I thought it was appropriate.”
“Sometimes you need a ground campaign, but we have other people who will do the ground campaign for us… But we have already hit Kharg Island twice, even three times. I said, ‘Hit everything but the oil!’”’

He tried the Kurds initially, but they have been through that before, in the Iraq war and know that the US is not trustworthy.

He has been trying to get Syria to take on Hezbollah, and is currently trying to get Iraq to fight against Shiites in their country.

Israeli ground troops only fight against defenseless civilians.

I predict that Trump’s speech this evening will be the equivalent of Biden’s debate performance. It will show that the man no longer has the mental capacity to be president.

While Biden’s blank stare was that of a lobotomy patient, Trump will come across as a ranting, delusional, paranoid mental patient. The similarity being that both were /are too old and mentally infirm to be President.

What would they gain? They can’t do anything to us that they know we couldn’t do back to them 100 times over. They also know that the American people hate this war. Why do something that would draw overwhelming retaliation? Why bring the American people together in favor of the war? Unlike the US, they’re way to smart for that. The economic devastation this war will eventually bring will be vastly more painful than killing a few thousand people.

“Iran’s nuclear and military capabilities have been completely obliterated by our beautiful bombers flown by the best pilots in the world… and it’s not even close!
Therefore, if Iran keeps attacking vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, it will be punished in a way the world has never seen before”.

Sure there are. At my 45 degree latitude at the summer solstice, people are OK with it getting light around 4:30 AM and they like it staying light until 10 PM. That’s daylight savings time. If we left the clocks on standard time, it would get light at 3:30 AM. Who the hell wants that? At the winter solstice on standard time, it doesn’t get light until almost 8 AM and gets dark around 4:45 PM. People can tolerate it getting dark at 4:45 PM, but they wouldn’t like it not getting light until 9 AM (if we kept daylight saving time running). If it didn’t get light until 9 AM, kids would be walking to school or waiting for the bus in the dark. Nixon tried that in 1974 are people hated it.

Here are the details of the Nixon winter daylight saving experiment:

  • The Cause: Facing severe gasoline shortages due to an Arab oil embargo, the Nixon administration sought ways to reduce electricity consumption in the evening and conserve fuel. [1, 2]
  • The Law: Passed in December 1973 and implemented on January 6, 1974, the act was originally intended to last for two years. [1, 2]
  • The Backlash: Moving the clocks forward meant children were walking to school and waiting for buses in pitch-black, freezing morning darkness. The danger of the dark morning commute sparked national outrage and pushed lawmakers to act. [1, 2, 3]
  • The End: Following the steep drop in public support and mounting safety concerns, President Gerald Ford signed legislation in October 1974 that ended the year-round trial and returned the country to standard time for the winter months. [1, 2]

The American people are the most propagandized in the world by the various right and left-wing media that are controlled by the same entities that control Congress. Our enemy is the Supreme Court’s interpretation of the 1st amendment which allows corporate control of the media and unlimited bribes to Congress. You can rise up in an armed rebellion and kill every existing Congressmen. One month later, “the people”, will just vote right back in the same corporate bots. You want to fix something? Fix the first amendment, otherwise, we always will end up in this spot.

President Trump held a Situation Room meeting on Tuesday to discuss a “massive offensive” in Iran, per Axios.
Details include:

  1. The offense will include strikes that are wider in scope than the current strikes around the Strait of Hormuz
  2. Trump was joined in the Situation Room by JD Vance, Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, Dan Caine, John Ratcliffe, Steve Witkoff and other senior officials
  3. The meeting reportedly focused on new plans for “devastating strikes on strategic targets in Iran”

Trump said Iran “better make a deal” or they are “not going to have anything left.”

This is what Prof. Robert Pape refers to as “An Escalation Trap”.
