The killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has raised the red flag of “revenge” in Iran. Iranian blood has been spilled and must be revenged.
The responsibility falls on the shoulders of Ayatollah’s son Mojtaba Khamenei who has been named Iran’s new Supreme Leader. He must avenge not only his father, but also his mother, sister, other relatives and more than 1,000 Iranian citizens now dead because of the War.
“No revenge is mine,” sayeth the Lord in Iran.
How will the revenge come? Will it mean Trump’s death? Deaths of Americans on U.S. shores? Interesting because it is said Iran has no way of reaching U.S. shores.
Time will tell.
What comes next in Iran? Hard to tell if it is true Trump did not plan the War beyond the initial attacks.
In the U.S., home fuel and gasoline prices rising. Home fuel faster than gasoline.
However expect gasoline prices to skyrocket at some point. The problem a serious one.
Will there be a return to the 1970s. I recall them clearly. Forget expense. Availability at any price the issue. Waiting in line for blocks to reach a gas station and hoping that when you reached a pump there would be gasoline available. The New York State Thruway a major problem. Cars lined in the traffic lanes one or two miles to get to a station and hopefully some gasoline left for you.
I ran out of gasoline in the middle of the night on the Thruway. My wife and parents with me. We slept till morning in the car till gas was delivered to the station.
The DOW dropped another 500 points yesterday. The droppage has only just begun. In the first two days, we have also experienced a 1,000 and 450 point drop.
It will drop even further.
Trump’s reelection was a mistake. The whole world will end up paying.
Enough of the War for today. Time for one more of Senator Murphy’s representations re Trump’s alleged corruption this year alone.
This one occurred on February 20. Trump instituted a new energy agenda. His agenda simple yet fruitful financially. Trump had met with the oil and gas industry during the campaign. A deal was cut. The oil and gas industry would give one billion dollars in campaign contributions in order to receive favorable treatment when Trump was sworn in.
What happened on January 20 when Trump was sworn in? He unveiled his energy strategy. It preferred oil and gas. It punished oil and gas competitors. Froze all permits on wind projects, Both on land and sea. Undercut permitting for oil and gas competitors.
Oil and gas got exactly what they “paid for.” Favorable treatment.
Even more, five days later Trump fired seventeen Inspectors General. Eliminated many whose jobs were to look for corruption in the oil and gas agencies. Senator Murphy said, “What do you do if you are looking for corruption, if you are trying to steal from the American people? You fire the Inspectors General.”
So much for today. I am a bit under the weather and it’s back to bed for me.
Enjoy your day!
