TARIFF update: The deficit, which measures how much more the United States buys from abroad than it sells, climbed 13.7 percent from July to $105.6 billion – the biggest monthly gap since before Trump rolled out sweeping global tariffs in April 2025, reported the New York Times.

Yeah, tankers in the SOH are still being targeted and we are sending another aircraft carrier group with thousands more soldiers…. We are either prepping for more attacks or we are swapping SOH babysitting duties with the troops who’ve been there for months. $80 to $100/barrel is a longterm price

Oil is up today… quite a bit despite reports that oil is moving through the SOH at pre war levels, which is pretty suspect…. Meanwhile, with our blockade shutting down Iran oil exports… Hence, China is missing out on significant supply….So, China has pretty halted its exports to the world market….

The Hatch Act doesn’t say “you’re restricted only while working.” Instead, for further‑restricted employees, it bans all partisan political management and campaigning — on duty, off duty, on federal property, off federal property, weekday, weekend, vacation, anywhere.

So you don't answer calls on your "biz phone" on the weekends and in the middle of the night?

Ok, but could it be argued that Trump is way over budget since he took office …. By the tune of $6 trillion, given or take a billion

I’d be sleeping too. Is there another more boring group of bureaucrats?

Reminds me of all the times President Trump has dropped in to the Middle East periodically to check in on our troops

One wonders what airline safety would be today had these folks been in charge during the dawn of passenger air flight. Btw, sounds like you understand why so many congress members are about to be fired

Lots of chatter on conservative news re how the “market is missing” the reality of nearly pre-war SOH tanker traffic… This was yesterday’s traffic: 17 vessels transited the strait Tuesday, including six inbound and 11 outbound; seven were traveling with AIS turned off This image: 9:35 am today

So Jimmy Kimmel had his wife parody Natalie Harp on his show. She played his unhinged assistant. It was as ridiculously funny as you might imagine.😅

That "Minnesota" company is owned and controlled by Essar Group, based in Mumbai, India. Not that there's anything wrong with India doing biz here ...

Sounds like that company is Mesabi Metallics, owned and controlled by Essar Group, based in Mumbai, India. Not that there's anything wrong with India doing biz here ... but does Essar really need tax incentives?
