Umm, just saw on Fox Business that Crude Oil is up about five bucks to $92/barrel. The NY Slimes furiously sent out an e-mail that it hit $100, but that shit ain't true. (Didn't see Brent Crude's price, so that could be what they were referring to).

Inflation: We've chastised President Obama many times for failing to live up to promises he made when running for the office. So in fairness, we want to credit him for fulfilling one of them: his pledge to raise energy costs.
In early 2008, candidate Obama told the San Francisco Chronicle that "under my plan ... electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket."
Obama was referring to his plan to cap greenhouse-gas emissions, which would, among other things, effectively choke off coal as an energy source. He was just as fond of high gasoline prices, telling CNBC in June 2008 — as gas prices shot up to $4 a gallon — that he "would have preferred a gradual adjustment."
Six years later, and Obama has succeeded.

Only Obama wasn't operating to keep an intractable death cult from acquiring nuclear weapons. He was doing it in service to companies like Solandra (SP?).
To be honest, if Iran did acquire a nuke, they would likely use it on some high-value target like NY and at this point, I don't care. My biggest regret wouldn't be the Mamdani-voting NYers killed, it'd be the innocent Iranians killed in the retaliatory strikes.

It is Brent Crude that hit $100, which is ONLY oil that derives from the North Sea. Crude Oil is indeed at 92+/- at the moment. Jeez people, oil and stock prices fluctuate constantly, most of which has ZERO to do with political issues. The broader stock market is down today mostly because of AI concerns. There is still 4 1/2 hours left in the trading day, so no one knows what is going to happen or how it might transpire by the close.

Per https://oilprice.com/oil-price-charts/ , WTI, West Texas Intermediate (the grade produced in ... western Texas) currently is $92.45. A couple of months ago, it peaked at $115. Brent crude is $100.54 currently. IOW, the NY Slimes selected the price for the grade less relevant to the US because they want Trump to look worse.
The price I paid yesterday for gas - usual station, Regular, credit price - is up 17 cents from a week ago, but still 50 cents lower than its high a month or two ago.
I do not love paying 20 or 30 cents per gallon higher than January this year, and I love even less the deaths of 14 or 15 US service personnel, but those are dwarfed by the prospect of Iran's 47-year war on the US, in which thousands of Americans were killed ending ... and by Iran's ability to threaten most of Europe and much of Africa and Asia with nuclear weapons being crushed.

That is the mission of the legacy media: Spin everything to make President Trump look worse to low information voters.
I don't lose any hair over the price of gas or groceries and don't assign blame other than the 21% "transitory inflation" bump we adjusted to gradually during Sharter Joe's four year disaster. Which the media never cites.
(As a casual aside: Ralphie has a full head of thick dark brown hair, and because at my middle age if I haven't gone bald or gray yet, it isn't happening. My late father and paternal Grandfather had NO gray hair).

If Trump was a child rapist, he'd fit into the category of people dems try desperately to protect.

MSM Hate-Trumpery has gotten so blatant and ubiquitous that I assume that MSM Gotcha-Trump reports are false, pretzellated, or have significant omissions/selections of relevant facts.
I also don't lose hair over gas and grocery prices, but then I have little losable hair, :-) . That said, before LIEden's bird flu chicken cull, we were paying between $6 and $7 for an 18-count carton of eggs. After the cull, that same 18-pack was between $14 and $15 for several months, the end of LIEden's MalAdministration and the first few months of Trump's second term. Prices started falling as young chickens not killed in the cull started laying, and has continued as chickens hatched after the cull also started laying. Now, depending on the store, we've been paying $2.85-$3.50. So, "Trumpflation" is so complicated with realities as to by a myth.

And they never cared about his supposed crimes until he became President.

Well, AvPro should be POed, as, per https://oilprice.com/oil-price-charts/ , WTI is a penny over $81.

Where do they come up with this child rapist thing? because he knew epstein? :mental: :loser: :loser: :loser: :rant:
-
IIRC, some time around 2019 a female claimed that years earlier, when she was 13, Trump raped her (I think in an Epsteinian context). The FBI interviewed her 4 times and her story changed significantly each time. The FBI concluded that she was lying.

Back to AvPro's petro-fantasies, I posted this in Breaking news, but it also fits here:
Hormuz Is Disrupted, Saudi Oil Is Under Attack. So Why Is Oil Still Below $100?
https://www.osint613.com/article/hormuz-is-disrupted-saudi-oil-is-under-attack-so-why-is-oil-still-below-100 (https://www.osint613.com/article/hormuz-is-disrupted-saudi-oil-is-under-attack-so-why-is-oil-still-below-100)
The Strait of Hormuz remains heavily disrupted. Saudi Arabia’s energy infrastructure has come under repeated attack. Tankers continue to sail through one of the world’s most dangerous waterways under military escort, while governments are drawing down strategic oil reserves at the fastest pace in decades.
...
Instead, Brent crude was trading around $90 on July 30, while West Texas Intermediate remained below $84. Prices are significantly higher than they were a month ago, but they remain far below the levels many predicted when the conflict escalated.
The reason is not that the disruption has been minor. It is that several emergency measures have replaced enough lost supply to prevent a full scale supply shock from reaching the market.
Military Escorts Are Keeping Oil Moving
The most important factor has been the U.S. military operation inside the Strait of Hormuz.
...
Pipelines Are Absorbing Part of the Shock
Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates possess the only major export pipelines capable of bypassing Hormuz.
Saudi Arabia’s East West Pipeline carries crude from the Eastern Province to Yanbu on the Red Sea, while the UAE’s Habshan Fujairah pipeline delivers oil directly to the Gulf of Oman. Together, the International Energy Agency estimates they can reroute between 3.5 million and 5.5 million barrels per day under current conditions.
Those pipelines have become one of the world’s most valuable pieces of energy infrastructure.
...
Supply Has Increased While Demand Has Fallen
The market has also benefited from additional production outside the Gulf.
U.S. oil production remains near record highs, while Venezuela has substantially increased exports following political changes earlier this year. Brazil and Guyana continue adding new production, contributing additional barrels at a time when every cargo matters.
Except for the tanker escorts and nations releases from their SPRs, these are long-term factors. The pipelines are likely to keep flowing, and one that has been shut down due to the chaos-war in Syria is being repaired. The renewal of Venezuela's oil production is likely to continue, and the production off Brazil's and Guyana's coasts is new and likely to increase substantially. IOW, Iran shot off its foot, with terrible timing.
