Okay got Billy Joel's Goodnight Saigon randomly playing. So I'm not depressed but Dire Straits Brothers in Arms song had to be next. That will be followed by a few tracks from the lesser known but very good Queensryche American Soldier album It's Gen X Emo hour!

Oh come on. Trumpy has wanted to privatize it since term 1. Probably thinks he can make money on the deal at the expense of the American people

Pete Sessions. Related to Jeffrey Beauragard?

YouTube Music randomly playing the full theme, in English, to Starblazers. Just think how the original anime was what 1974 and brought to the US in 1979. That original still lives with a lot of us my age. Now excuse me while I save Iscandar. Next some on shuffle - Channel Z

What does our economy run on? Consumerism. So no it wouldnt hurt it at all

Yikes eBay let me know it's my 26th anniversary with them. Um....well rating is still under 200 and all positive. So I haven't bought too much on there.

Again WWII would have been so much shorter if we had claimed the Germans were acting like this in the North Atlantic sinking supply ships after we had already won

Of course none of those seats will be free except the big donors

@rifftrax.com for reasons

Again, wasnt that the very one he worked for during his hell service in Iraq?

Salvos of leftover mk14 torpedoes. Where are my history nerds at?

What a deal!

Just want to put out that 3 months ago today crude was at $55. Not at $97 like today. This is greed on the part of the retailer and refiner

Wait, single sign ons are WMDs? Those of us in IT departments better watch out

Note that Iran is severely restricted on who it can sell to.

Well look at that.

"Trump demands". So why don't the other countries step up? I mean thats the political way to do things. You simply demand others step up to clean up your mess. Weird

I spy With my little eye What will happen to the price of crude oil today

"Trump says he wants to finish Iran before tackling Cuba". I thought the war was long over or is it still beginning? I thought he said there was nothing left to attack there. It's almost like we can't believe what he says

If the US has shown that we won't send our Navy ships through then why would our allies send warships to do it? We have clearly shown we would send them in our place.

How about we just take over the whole island - Current administrations response to the sign

Oil futures were quiet overnight. Jus going back and forth between 97 and 99 dollars. Which seems quiet after the last couple of weeks. Now let's see what happens after 10am.

Forgot to mention this about the Indy race. Whenever the F1 people come to Indycar they just dominate from the start!

Okay finished the F1 race and way to go Ollie Bearman! 5th place!!! Heck check out Cadillac in their second race actually beating a Haas driver.

Since I am back in Diablo 4. For my Sabaton fans. I forgot I had created my own version of "AND THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED!"

Hey @nascar.com once again thanks for letting the CUP guys run the lower series for ratings. Oh yeah and the bullshit "So they can learn". I wouldnt want to see the drivers I follow actually race against each other. No I want to see the Cup drivers doing more practice laps!

Infinity drivers are just #Altima buyers with good credit. #bustedride

A Democrat has won the mayor's seat in Boca Raton... by one vote:

I dont watch crude oil prices today and it hit $99.17 and is down to 98.24 at 2:45. It's almost like there are consequences for what's happening in Iran and the Straits

If this was real coming up on ONN/Newsmax "Trump does perfect impression of Bill Clinton after argument with Hillary"

Hearts of Iron is the song to introduce anyone to Sabaton. The band that sings about military history. It's about the death of Berlin in WWII and it does not glorify war which is impressive.

Oh you know what's in the air tonight from Samurai Sususudio.

So Kentucky is just going to roll over for Trump on the Kintucky thing. Of course they will. In fact they will likely rename the state to match what he said because he doesn't make mistakes

There aren't any safe oil rich countries to move them in case of emergency? This being the FIA I'm sure the points will just be awarded to Max and Haas will get a 10 place penalty under the "Rainy Day" clause

The other is Sabaton. Who gives us Yamato. To go with Bismark and Dreadnought. Now to get one from them about Taffy3. youtu.be/fQPlSoz_jSA?...

Two songs released by two acts I really like that are polar opposites. Lets start with Everlast and Stones. Showing his age and full X'er self "ain't no stone you can throw at me I haven't thrown at myself""you can't hate me more than I hate myself". Oh yeah born in 1969 and showing it Everlast

So the KC-135 had a mechanical failure while refueling? The KC-135 is very old bird but it's also been all but perfected now. Of course if Boeing had just given the Air Force a viable replacement with the KC-46. Doing things like not having FOD in the fuel tanks during delivery.

Wait, the parrots werent wealthy?

Crude oil is about to hit $95 a barrel during the day after all the countries emptied out their strategic reserves. It's only 1030am

There are men 95-100 years old who served on Destroyer Escorts who are seeing the Navy go "We are not ready to escort the tankers". Remembering escort duty in their little DDE's and wondering what happened to "This mans Navy". The same men probably threatening their kids they will just go do it

I guess that it's ONLY at $91 a barrel right now after 2 tankers were hit shows that "learn the trick the oil markets don't want you to learn" works. You know when you flood the markets with hundreds of millions of barrels of crude.

This just seems more fitting for today than normal

Time to give my cat Josie some equal time. I always put pictures of Nebula up here. We agreed to take care of her for a family member about 5 years ago. So she is ours now.

So there is a real chance that true ultra MAGAs are going to wear oversized Florsheims by choice to show their support for Trump

Minesweeper: Strait of Hormuz edition

Photograph me like your French dogs. Keeping in mind Regal has lost a couple pounds since we got him a few weeks ago.

The look of a Chihuahua/Shitzu/Pekinese mix. The perfectly named "Scooter"
