this release will tend to cap the upside on oil a bit. I think, combined with demand destruction. Prices will still be high though

I think the impact of this mess on fertilizer is more important/impactful than oil. Oil will come from somewhere. Sure, people see the price of gas go up. But there doesn't seem to be a backup plan for fertilizer, and with planting season coming up farmers will be decimated if supply isn't cleared up very soon. Prove me wrong.

Maybe the WGN reporter is too ignorant to recognize that India/Pakistan might be an important detail. Or that telling us that the group worked for a named company would render the entire affair a lot less shady.

From larue’s article

In October 1985, the S.C. Real Estate Commission froze her business escrow account and temporarily suspended her license, according to a local newspaper accounts.

A commission spokesperson, responding to a Post and Courier request, said the records were not immediately available. But other documents show the mother’s boss at the real estate firm sought criminal charges against the mother the following year. She was accused of stealing $22,000 from the escrow account, records show.

Months later, she was charged with six counts of forgery for writing bad checks, a crime she had been accused of in the past as well. Signing off on the charges was then-Solicitor Randolph “Buster” Murdaugh Jr., the grandfather of convicted murderer Alex Murdaugh.

Lawyers who represented the mother either declined to comment or did not recall the case. A deputy who transported her from Sumter to Beaufort County after her arrest told The Post and Courier he did not remember picking her up.

The mother ultimately pleaded guilty to all charges, was sentenced to probation and ordered to make monthly $150 restitution payments until she paid off the debt.

She failed to make those payments, and the daughter told the FBI she tracked down her mother’s old boss to ask him for help. She said the Epstein associate coldly told her not to call again and he did not care if she “ended up in the gutter.”

In 1990, a court in Charleston found that the mother violated parole by traveling abroad without permission and by failing to meet the payment schedule.

The alleged victim told the FBI her mother was sent to a state prison near Columbia. State officials confirmed details of the mother’s incarceration.

By that time the daughter was 17 or 18 years old and had moved to Summerville. She left Hilton Head High School before graduating. Records confirm that she attended the school, and it appeared that FBI agents had obtained a copy of its yearbook, “The Halcyon.”

The mother and her daughter remained physically close over the years, living near one another at various times.

Records show that her mother was accused by a Charleston woman of breaking and entering her home in 1996, and sued for eviction by a landlord in Washington state in 1998

I also don’t think the Biden DOJ would have just sat on it if there was anything there.

FBI didn’t find anything to substantiate her claims.

There’s no there there. Like so much of the Epstein files

The only known facts it lines up with are that she once lived in Hilton Head with her mother which she told the FBI. That her mother also lived in a nursing home at some point.

And that her mother also had legal problems for fraud and embezzlement.

Nothing in that article corroborates any connection to or any fact regarding Epstein, Trump, or Epstein associates.

Edit:

Oh they actually wrote in the article. I skipped the headers look for the corroborations

But sure everyone is in on it.

The media is avoiding it because they’re easily distracted or pro Trump. Biden DOJ sat on it. Trump launched a war to distract.

Or maybe the woman who has had multiple run ins with the law for fraud and theft told a fantastical story that couldn’t be substantiated or corroborated to the FBI during the height of Epstein/#MeToo.

That’s why the media isn’t running with it.

I'm pretty sure the seats in the main cabin are actually cheaper than they were.

But I'm not traveling in the main cabin, and the tickets for my seats are about 30% higher than what I paid.

the US Army is manned and equipped to defeat short range air defense threats. defeating things like Shahed is more an Army mission than an Air Force mission (although USAF planes can do it.) my unit shot these things down on our last deployment. Army units have been shooting them down in Iraq, Syria, and Jordan for several years at this point. the best Army missile to shoot these down is a Coyote, it only costs about 100k, which is about 2-3x a Shahed. Not a bad tradeoff. A recently fielded system, the Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS) is cheaper than a Shahed and we have 100s of thousands of the 2.75" rockets it fires in the inventory. As that system is fielded it will make the Shahed less of a threat. APKWS can be fired from AH-64 Apache's which it is currently doing in Kuwait to shoot down Shahed. It can also be mounted on a truck or a static ground station.

The mistake by the current admin was not building up Army forces with the right equipment in the region to defeat these threats in places like Bahrain, Qatar, al Shuaiba port in Kuwait where the Soldiers were killed, etc. it's not a lack of knowledge, equipment, or experience. it's not putting the force structure we have in place to do the job it's designed to do.

the idea that the US "doesn't understand modern war" or needs Ukraine expertise to do counter drone is not accurate. it can help, but i think the admin is panicking asking for Ukraine assistance. we already have the people, equipment, and training. we just need to move the people and equipment into the Middle East. i'm sure for political reasons the Admin doesn't want to move brigade combat teams and combat aviation brigades into the mideast because there would be a big freakout about "boots on the ground."

Thousands of drones have been launched and maybe 10-11 have hit installations?

And their ability to launch missiles and drones seems heavily degraded from a week ago.

it's greater than 10 or 11, but the success rate of a Shahed hitting it's target is maybe 5%

Posted by illiniranger <iframe src='https://mb.boardhost.com/TheDeuce/info/user=illiniranger' width='330' height='300' border=0 style='border:none;'> on March 6, 2026, 11:08:33, in reply to "I’m not sure the expected but the actual hit rate doesn’t seem that high?"

hundreds of shahed type drones were shot down by US forces since October 7, 2023. almost all of them over Iraq, Syria, and Jordan. We know how to defeat them. But that force structure is mostly in Jordan, Iraq, and Syria; it's not in the Gulf region. The Admin did not add forces to conduct short range counter air at the places it needed that, like Al Udeid Qatar, or Al Shuaiba Kuwait.

even in Jordan, some Shaheds will get through because 100s are being fired. if 1000 Shaheds get fired, and the US kills 95% of them, that still means 50 are going to hit a target. It may be 90%. It is probably more or less on par with the type of success the Ukrainians are having.

to the Iranians credit, they are hitting "spectacular" targets, i.e. targets that will grab headlines. They are also forcing a lot of economic pain on the Gulf Arabs. Their strategy to hit those things I think is smart, it's something they can achieve, there is so much oil infrastructure it is hard to defend all of it, and some things will get through.

munitions are offensive, things like Tomahawk and bombs. we have many many thousands of bombs with guidance kits and the Tomahawk production line has a 1000 per year capacity with no investment. They can "flip a switch" and start churning those out.

we (maybe) don't have enough interceptors like the Terminal High Altitude Air Defense (THAAD) Talon and the PAC-3 for the Patriot. i say maybe because a) we are taking a lot of ballistic launchers off the battlefield right now and b) we have enough for this war but not this war plus something like the Chinese going across the straight at the same time.

Well, we are also assassinating the heads of the regime.

Well, the head of the regime was, in this case, the Ayatollah, who is the chief military commander who also happens to be a theocrat with apocalyptic plans for the world.

Sure, a very bad guy. I just meant that it seems like we were trying to effectuate regime change, which the President himself has said, rather than just knock out military targets.

Yeah. And let me also be clear. I’ve never trusted Trump on this, or on the economy, or on keeping us safe in general.

You’re trusting the people leading the operation who don’t include the President?

But that's not really what he said.

Nor the reporting.

It was more on the timing of the attack. USA were probably going to go in regardless.

Bibi saw the opportunity to take out top leadership and wanted to take it at that moment and Trump agreed.

And yes anything else is a retroactive justification because they had no authority to do so but they were going in.

“There absolutely was an imminent threat, and the imminent threat was that we knew that if Iran was attacked and we believed they would be attacked [by Israel], that they would immediately come after us, and we were not going to sit there and absorb a blow before we responded.”

It’s weird this would be the one thing those opposed would take the administration at face value.

Of course it also makes no sense

We amassed significant presence outside of Iran for months. We had been planning it for months. It’s been pretty clear for some time that we were most likely going in.

The idea that Israel would go in at this moment without American approval and that we’d be reluctantly dragged in is pretty absurd.

All the actual reporting disputes this as well and the White House has cleaned this up as well.

He was referring to the timing of the attack. At best he misspoke.

Bibi wanted to go in because they had an opportunity to take leadership at that moment and Trump was leaning towards going in already and that pushed him over.

The USA was not dragged into this because of a decision by Israel to attack they couldn’t stop.

"at best he misspoke"? His explanation is consistent with the lack of evacuation orders, failure to

US military commanders have been invoking extremist Christian rhetoric about biblical “end times” to justify involvement in the Iran war to troops, according to complaints made to a watchdog group.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) says it has received more than 200 complaints from service members across all branches of the armed forces, including the marines, air force and space force.

Georgia school shooter’s dad found criminally responsible for the mass killing

The prosecution of a parent for their child committing a school shooting does have at least one precedent.

James Crumbley and his wife, Jennifer Crumbley, were found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in connection with the 2021 deadly shooting at Oxford High School in suburban Detroit by their son Ethan Crumbley.

Colt Gray's mother had cited the Crumbley case when she urged that her son's access to guns should be cut off before the 2024 mass shooting, according to Barrow County District Attorney Brad Smith.

"We hope that (this conviction) moves the needle a little further," Smith told reporters.

NEW: The CIA has been working to arm Kurdish forces with the aim of fomenting a popular uprising in Iran, multiple people familiar with the plan told CNN.

Iranian Kurdish opposition forces are expected to take part in a ground operation in Western Iran in the coming days and they expect US and Israeli support, a senior Iranian Kurdish official told CNN.

Of course, most of them are in the 2020s because the baseline is so much higher. The top 15 are basically under Trump, and #5 was the day after the election in 2024.

The largest pre-Trump #1 move up was in 2008, and to finish that high it took an 11% move in one day.

Then find a corrupt military member or IRGC to take over and pay them off.

Like what exists in Egypt

Or what they’re tying to do in Venezuela.

Of course at some point down the line that will probably have big consequences

To the extent there is a US plan, that’s probably right, although it’s more a hope than a plan

I don’t think the Israelis care. They might actually prefer a failed state to any other option. Certainly would prefer that to a stable democracy, I think. They are already a fortress state on a war footing with their neighbors, who don’t care in the slightest about humanitarian catastrophes. A stable Iran is a potential threat, so better civil war, mass refugees flows, hundreds of thousands dead.

It’s why he does much better in the Mideast and dictators and than he does in the West.

His entire sense of being is everything is transactional. Just pay everyone off.

He has no time for academics or elites with ideals that populate western leadership.

So to him he doesn’t care if he can just put some bought and paid for stooge that will not threaten his interests.

And his interests only last for so long too.

worst and dimmest.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/doj-drops-defense-trump-law-031331246.html

The Justice Department on Monday moved to drop its defense of President Donald Trump’s executive orders aimed at punishing major law firms, a rare legal surrender that ends a saga that roiled the legal community.

Four judges, in separate cases, previously rejected as unconstitutional the executive orders, which sought to cancel government contracts of the law firms, suspend their security clearances and restrict employees from entering government buildings.

The Justice Department appealed those rulings in June and was expected to file its opening brief on Friday.

The decision to drop the appeal, first reported by The Wall Street Journal, comes nearly a year after Trump’s first order targeting the law firm Perkins Coie, citing as justification the firm’s 2016 work for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign and its affiliation with Democratic mega-donor George Soros. It then moved against Paul, Weiss, Rifkind; Wharton & Garrison; Jenner & Block; WilmerHale; and Susman Godfrey.

https://abovethelaw.com/2026/03/law-school-tells-students-you-must-be-aligned-politically-with-president-trump-for-summer-job/

An email sent to Liberty University School of Law students over the weekend lays out, in refreshingly unvarnished terms, what the administration’s hiring pipeline actually looks like. And it’s exactly as bad as everyone suspected:

The two most important requirements are you MUST be aligned politically with President Trump and his administration and you must be willing to work hard. Don’t be scared off by the transcript requirement. GPA is not a strong factor. If you meet those two requirements, you have a shot.

Imagine a career services office writing this paragraph and not expecting it making a laughingstock of the law school? “GPA is not a strong factor” doesn’t make for a ringing endorsement of any law school’s mission. Telling students at a law school ranked in the 140s that their GPAs don’t matter if a candidate is politically correct enough is just open mockery of the curriculum.

On Monday, the administration, in a court filing, asked an appeals court if it could walk away from its appeal of victories the firms had won against the White House. The move was a significant concession by the White House that it could not stand behind its orders.

But on Tuesday morning, the Justice Department appeared to have abruptly changed its position, according to the people. In an email to the four firms contesting the orders, a department official apologized for the short notice and said it would file a motion to withdraw its voluntary dismissal.
The email was sent to the firms shortly after 10 a.m. The Justice Department asked the firms to inform it whether they planned to oppose its attempt to walk back its decision by 10:30 a.m.

for a protracted conflict with the United States for over two decades, that war with Iran was not only a distinctive possibility but could be part of a broader conflict to include China and Russia, and that would impact every aspect of your positions and business, you are not very good at your job.

It would be naive and disingenuous to say that the leadership in Iran was anything less than abhorent. It has been since we were all in elementary school. So there is a Pro in that this particular leadership got wiped off the map.

Pretty much everything else is a con. Like everything this administration does, it's half-baked and ill-planned. That leads to needless death and injury. The motivations for US involvement are Ann as the nose on plain's face. And it's all out there for the whole world to see.

I don't think many will say that these guys lives didn't all need to be expedited.

Actions have been taken at various times over the past few decades to stall/delay Iran in their efforts to obtain nuclear weapons.

Regardless of opinions on the war or Bibi himself Iran has been attempting to develop nuclear weapons for decades and the world has pushed back as they approach ability to do so.

I think it's good only certain countries can have nukes. North Korea was smart to get ahead
