“Targets included missile launch sites and Iranian boats attempting to emplace mines. U.S. Central Command continues to defend our forces while using restraint during the ongoing ceasefire.”

The strikes come just hours after Trump said negotiations with Iran were “proceeding nicely.”

      It dropped 5% for the holiday weekend.

      Off an 80% spike since the year started.

      As a person in the O&G industry, I regret to say he’s good for me. My salary/bonus is fully outrunning inflation. Nevermind the compound stock gains juicing my 401k.

      Trump’s still shit in my book. But if I started out a Republican, why would I object to any of this shit?

      A Global Crusade Against The Wretched Islam, ballooning profits, violent police actions against all those horrible minorities we don’t like, that cool new ballroom, kidnapping the president of Venezuela, our SCOTUS is rigging the next election, what’s not to love?

        O&G was booming under Biden as well though? Like the endless expansion in the Permian Basin was going full throttle, just with a least some oversight. The companies weren’t even drilling all their leases because they didn’t want to drop the price of oil.
