The US is reporting 170 empty oil tankers are coming our way to fill with our oil due to the Strait being closed and/or mined.  Apparently Iran states they've mined it but cannot locate all the mines. 

The blockade will be interesting to watch if Chinese ships don't stop.  WOuld the US actually fire upon them?  I highly doubt they will put their own ships in collision with them as you now jeapordize US sailor lives and putting the ship out of comission for repairs.  1 benefit of communism, if the CCP tells their ships to keep going and ram em if they're in teh way, the captains would obey.

Some of it may have to do with the different types of oil, Heavy, medium and light. Canada's oil is mostly heavy and cost more to refine compared to the middle east's oil which is mostly medium oil. Plus market uncertainty will cause some increase along with delayed shipments. Even if we only import 8% from the middle east, that 8% decrease in oil on the US market makes the rest of the oil worth more due to the more limited quantity.

But of course greed could also be part of that increase.

Re-read what I posted.

So I mentioned my gas price increase in the other page.  But I did a quick google and the US gets about 7% of it's oil from the Strait and of which 3% of the US uses it for gasoline purposes.  So why the heavy increase in prices so quickly?

Google also said we get 60% or so of our oil from Canada, who doesn't get their oil from the Strait either.

Seems like greed to me and that the corporations are using any excuse to increase profits.  I could be wrong.

What we are seeing is how 1 country controls things.  Which means at their will, they could cut off the US or other countries.  And it's worthy to note that they're not only cutting of the USA/Israel, but everyone.

I read that when Vegas was shutdown to Covid, it caused casinos to re-evaluate their buffets and how they lose money for the casino, but they make it up later when people play.  It also provided an excuse to not re-open the buffets or keep them at the lower cost.

So one has to wonder if Gov Sisoulak didn't shut down Vegas due to Covid, would the casinos still have cheaper buffets?  1 could also argue that this was the downaward spiral to no free parking and higher table limits.  FYI the govenor at the time is DNC.  He also had a proclamation that Ivermectin (IIRC I think it was this med) was only to be given at a medical facility. Which means you have to drive to a doctor or hospital to take it.

You should see his Xmas present event he had in Vegas.  He's learning that he has a huge following and to try to factor parking and people flow in.  He advised people to Uber to the even due to parking.

Cease fire deal reached for 2 weeks.

The fake news is spreading wrong info like usual about the terms of the deal.  Same are also now bashing Trump for not wiping Iran off the face of the earth and how he got punked by Iran/Iran won.  I mean, most of their upper leadership are dead, weaponry destoryed, people rising up, sounds like being punked.

Iran media and our fake news are very similar. Always finding something to bash Trump on.  IMO, equipment destroyed to save an american pilot is worth it.

#3 has always been confusing to me as the 9th said no can carry in parks/beaches or restaurants taht serve booze. But since SCOTUS is taking up Wolford, which is specifically to the vampire rule, the 9ths entire ruling is not in action.  Which means the local ruling by Judge Kobayashi's injunction stands, so one can carry in parks/beaches and restaurants that serve booze. 

I read this from your FB post reply to someone else who was asking the same Zipps.  Thanks!!!

It's been weeks now and what I've noticed.  Iranian information being released by their military is like CNN and like as they're mostly fake news, aka wrong.

Examples:
AI generated pics of: Recently they claimed to captured the missing F15 "pilot", which was AI generated as his chute was next to the downed F15. A downed B2 that had some Iranian solders standing next to it and the size is way off.  Pics of special forces being captured.
Claims of more aircraft being shot down
Claim of US carrier being destroyed/hit
Many more, but can't remember.

What is interesting is that for the recently resuced pilot, there were Iranian citizens trying to block the roads to prevent their military to search for the guy.

For those who are interested in who resuces downed pilots, the Discover Channel had a good series on PJ's (Para Rescue who do this).  But keep in mind this was during OIF (in A-stan) so it's more about medical than downed pilots.  But the military channel had a docu some years ago about O'Grady who was resuced decades ago.

Off Topic / Moon fly by
« on: April 02, 2026, 07:33:30 AM »
They're doing a fly around the moon and the trip from earth to the moon and back will take about 10 days.

What I've noticed is that while the astronauts were suiting up, no astronauts or ground crew were wearing any type of mouth/nose mask to prevent illnesses.  While walking to the ship and entering, about half the ground crew were wearing mask. 

I mean, I get if it's a short 1-2 day mission, but this is a 10 day mission and getting sick in that time is possible.  At least they didn't allow them to hug their families before boarding. 

Are we really going  to fly by the moon?

I’m curious how they’d enforce a rule like that without grabbing even more ID data from everyone. Feels like it raises bigger questions about rights and government limits than it solves.

Trace the IP address or ping the location to a residential address.  Then enter and demand who's account is this or take everyone to jail.

It's a popular refrain but it's not true. All the easily recoverable oil is gone, leaving the low quality stuff which is really difficult to get out of the ground. 
Invading Venezuela was necessary to secure a reliable supply for the US before destroying the market for everyone else.
I have to admire Trump for his audacity, but we still have a lot of pain to go through before the plan starts bearing fruit.

My source is I was playing craps at Mirage some years ago with some offshore oil drillers.  They each bought in about $8K or so and the reason is when they're on the rig, they make good money and can't spend it on anything.  So they come to Vegas when back.  I mean, they could be wrong.

I can understand why people wouldn't want to give their info to the FBI

Kash and Dan were supposed to reform it but one looks like a hostage and the other quit



Well the good news is no one is actually in RAPBACK, even though we all paid a fee for it to be in it.

We are going to have some severe supply shortages soon.

Also I don’t think people will want to vacation here when plane tickets cost $5k

This was going to happen one way or another of course, but at least there is some hope with the Trump version of default vs total surrender to the CCP

Maybe this would loosen regulations so we can drill more.  The US has tons of oil on and off shore.  But regulations/laws prevent the drillig.  We have enough oil that we don't need to buy any from anyone else.
