I believe this weekend will be another runaway news cycle Do not believe for one minute that Iran has been neutered as trump claims Iran is seething with hatred and is looking for revenge of the highest order

@jaketapper.bsky.social with an explanation of the "Experiment"

@jaketapper.bsky.social I approve of CNN trying new formats. In general I enjoy thinking outside of the box There will be criticism by some but who cares

For CBS News Radio lovers

Thank goodness for independent journalism that is gaining in popularity online that will continue hold truth to power despite the dismantling of mainstream cable news outlets and radio sources

🎵Good morning Coffee ☕ my old Friend 🎵

I always liked the big 10 pound microphones

@jamiegangel.bsky.social Speaks. Her airtime is a valuable commodity 3.19.26

Brent $112/barrel If $4/Gallon was an eye opener on the East Coast, think about $5.00 a gallon as a possibility in the not too distant future

We're at war with Iran To many this is just missiles being fired and 5,000 pound bunker busting bombs being dropped Once U.S. boots are hit the ground on Kharg Island the reality will set in and set in hard

Iran was not an immediate threat to us; far from it. Unless you have blinders on it's easy to see how fast this is ramping up Proud to be an American but I don't approve of where we are now and the lack of transparency North Korea has been a more formidable threat than Iran

An interesting graph of Oil futures stretching back 14 years to March 2012

March 1st vs today, March 17th

Pyongyang poses more of a threat with nukes to the United States than Tehran ever did This is all part of Trump, Putin and Xi carving out their sections of International Real Estate

The war with Iran was a mistake. Like the resignation of one of Trump's top Intel people proves this morning, support for the war is going to begin to dwindle It's Iraq all over again but it's called Iran. Weapons of mass destruction part 2 nonsense

Yes, I love snow

Cuba will fall within 1 week. It's part of the trifecta, Venezuela, Iran and soon Cuba

What a "Heart" as trump speaks about a congressman, this congressman's declining health and how he needed his vote before said congressman was suppose to die in June Thank goodness the congressman seems to be on the mend now but still

Melania's documentary wasn't eligible to be voted on by the academy members. Make no mistake about it, Trump will be pushing for it leading up the 2027 academy awards

The academy awards tonight on ABC needs to send a clear message about freedom of speech and how it won't be suppressed by an out of control FCC chairman

I don't trust CBS to carry The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to its scheduled conclusion on May 21st I fear they will abruptly pull the show days before hence denying Colbert a farewell show CBS will care less about public outcry at that point

It's nice to have a quiet Saturday night. It's nice to have any quiet night these days Since I spend so much time posting relevant CNN content it feels good to have a day or weekend off, real good!

Instead of writing 6,000 words on Trump I'll put it into just a couple of sentences I give him credit for securing the border Everything else has thrust us into hell both domestic and abroad

As soon as normalcy returns to Congress and the presidency it is imperative that everyone gets their Social security card replaced It's compromised beyond repair There is no doubt about that

This war with Iran Is not going to end anytime soon. It's going to grow exponentially and encompass much more real estate Like I have said, we're going to see inflation, higher interest rates and potentially a very strong recession I hope I'm wrong but I do not think I am

Things worldwide are going sideways This weekend is poised to be a gamechanger We've gone too far too quickly without an instruction manual Irresponsible actions have consequences

The war with Iran is going to escalate exponentially. Comments to the contrary by the Secretary of Defense are meaningless I would like to see mandatory random tests for blood alcohol and drugs administered to all those close to the center of power

And Trump criticized Biden for the deaths at Abbey Gate

It pains me to write this but the uptick in terrorist attacks in the U.S. is going to rise to levels never before seen Iran is out for blood . It's a holy war now and unfortunately we're ground zero Tell me again, why did we attack Iran? We're in over our heads now.

Iran together with high oil prices caused Jimmy Carter to lose the Presidency in 1980

No, the war with Iran is not over, it's just beginning. The doubletalk from trump and the administration is just smoke and mirrors. Trump practically claiming Mission Accomplished is a tad premature

BIG drop in Oil futures thank goodness. Let's see what happens in the days to come . It was nearly $120/barrel 15 hours ago

The Asian Markets

That 9/10 part of the price might be in jeopardy to make room for a 4th digit I remember in the 1970's gas stations being caught off guard when prices went over a dollar. The dials were mechanical back then with two digits and gas stations got quite creative !

Don't be surprised if $200/Barrel is reached plunging us into a recession Iran isn't saying okay, you win. Iran is out for blood now. This isn't ending anytime soon This is almost analogous to Iraq in the early 2000's with the reasoning being weapons of mass destruction

Get the picture?

Three hours ago it was $109/barrel now almost $115 Be prepared for sticker shock tomorrow. Your local station won't wait to hike prices.

The price for a gallon of gas at your local station will surge by tomorrow Expect overnight increases of at least 25 cents a gallon and by this coming Friday add another 25 cents to it Then watch the ripple effect translate into the cost of goods at your local grocery store D's capture Congress

CNN's Fred Pleitgen live from Iran at 605 pm ET Succession in Iran in play

Trump brings up Abbey Gate in Afghanistan when an ISIS bomber killed 13 U.S. Soldiers back in 2021. He blamed it on Biden though the Genesis of the pullout happened during his 1st term We just lost another victim to the 6 that died in this war (Almost 1/2 that of AG) Should he be blamed?

@cedricleighton.bsky.social w/ @mkraju.bsky.social Focus: Iran and The Strait of Hormuz 3.8.26

@cedricleighton.bsky.social w/ CNN Anchor John Berman Focus: Oil facilities inside Iran targeted and the effect it will have 3.7.26

It's almost midnight on this Friday night Praying for no breaking news or alarm bells this weekend We all need to catch our breath and figure out what the hell is really going on Everything is just way off. Just when we think we've seen it all something else trumps it.

Unreal 👇

The weekend is now here, God help us all One week ago tonight we bombed Iran Heaven knows what happens this weekend

This is for home heating oil. 6 weeks ago a 200-299 gallon delivery was $2.59 Add a dollar to this in the not too distant future

This hasn't aged too well ⛽⛽

I truly believe by this time next week we will be seeing $5 a gallon gasoline prices This would be higher than ever seen under the Biden presidency

If there ever was a reason to be concerned with the nuclear football that time is now We are now totally embroiled in uncharted territory Now Russia is giving Intel to Iran? If Trump tries to take Cuba we will be on the cusp of World War lll This can't be blamed on Biden
