I hope folks realize this Bab al-Mandab situation will be much worse than the Strait of Hormuz if it’s not sorted out quickly. And it doesn’t currently look like it will be sorted out quickly.

We've officially reached $6.00 diesel. The new record is $6.05 today on AAA. The national average for gasoline is $4.29. It's hard to believe that all this economic prosperity is just around the corner with fuel prices this high. gasprices.aaa.com

Since Trump posted this 6 weeks ago, the Houthis have escalated attacks exponentially while Trump has done absolutely nothing. The guy is such a bumbling buffoon that people he threatens just laugh at him now and do it more.

While Trump wants everyone to focus on his fake cash giveaways, this is the single most consequential story of the moment. Iran-backed Houthis just took effective control of the Bab al-Mandeb strait, one of the world’s most important shipping chokepoints.

How about this, Trump cancels his trip to Ireland this weekend so he can watch a golf tournament on his course and we take all the tax money we save having to pay for his 168th & 169th day on golf courses this term with 50 Secret Service agents and put it towards stimulus checks.

The situation in the Middle East continues to get WORSE, not better. There is nothing happening at all from the Trump admin to make it better, and there is quite a bit that is happening from Iran and its proxies and allies to make it worse. Trump created a disaster with no plan.

If the money Trump claims to pay is tied to an election result, it isn’t a “cash payment” or “dividend” or “rebate” or “stimulus.” It is a bribe. Plain and simple. Calling it anything else accepts a false premise and helps Trump and Republicans cover up how corrupt it truly is.

That’s the thing about Alex Jones. He spent 15 years saying, “There are going to be guys on the streets wearing masks, shoving you in the back of a van and putting you on a black site.” Then all that shit happened and he was like, “Amazing. Cool. Let’s go.”

Functionally, the stuff he was worrying about took place, and he liked it. That’s become an issue for a lot of his fans. They’re getting everything they want, and the world sucks shit.
