How do I know? Price of oil.
The stock market was another indicator.
The internet chat slowed down 2 days ago.
No fixed purpose means victory can be declared at any point.
Typical for your commander and chief to hedge.
Start something unnecessary, without congresses’ approval, so he can declare victory shortly after.
It still does not mean the rest of the world agreed.
America is going to pay a HIGH price for his folly.

The US has swarmed in and removed the leaders of countries twice in less than 60 days. We control most of the world’s oil. China learned their communications and weapons are useless. They have a large army with no experience. Taiwan must feel pretty good right now.

And yet the big corp’s continue to price gouge retail gas which processed over a month ago. It reminds me of perp’s after a hurricane.

It’s hard to tell what drives Trump more, oil prices and the Dow, or his “supporters” whom are leaving him in droves.
We should soon find out.

It’s the other way around dumb dumb
Trump owes the Rothschilds a lot.
They actually have to do that to be able to afford the next delivery. I think all gas stations do that. They don’t make much money on a gallon of gas either way. 5 cents or something.

Every single station I passed the last two days was at exactly $3.79. Except Costco ($3.54). Normally there is a small spread around the area depending on location. If there is any rise in barrel price it immediately goes up, not so if the price dips.
Somebody is making money.
Rep Tim Burchett exposes the price of gas increasing in America has nothing to do with the Iran war
He says we buy ZERO oil from Iran, our fuel companies just decided to take advantage of the situation and price gouge Americans
“How much oil does America get from Iran? Zero. That’s how much this is a scam. And these oil companies, shame on 'em. They’re using this opportunity to make record profits once again”
“Another thing that really ticks me off about it is that the price of oil, they say, well, it’s whatever happens overseas is causing this to happen. — The price hasn’t gone up — the whole thing is, is just ridiculous. It’s greed”
Assassinated a top religious Iranian cleric. This is not good.
You do not control most of the world’s oil. Canada supplies US providing over 60% of total U.S. crude oil imports.
As for rare minerals the US is producing about 2% of the global supply as of early 2026.
It’s true. Pump price goes up fast on news, and goes down slow on actual cost of oil. Has always been that way.

Iran controls the tap. Strait of Hormuz.
That is the lever.
Prices rise when demand increases (summer driving season) or supply is cut, such as during wars or conflicts that affect shipping lanes
Don’t they have a name for that? Price gouging?
The same gas that was in the tank at the local 7-11 two weeks ago selling for $2.69, suddenly costs $3.79?? It’s BS.

I get it. But just commenting on how fast pump prices respond upwards to the cost of a barrel of oil, and how slow they respond downwards to the cost of a barrel of oil. But, there are a lot of variables involved. A lot of middlemen along the path from barrel to pump.

It’s called “capitalism” here in ‘Merica.”
Replacement cost accounting. Common for gas stations
I know the liberals consider these guys family. Sorry to kill your loved ones.
Yes we do. Canada means nothing to the United States. 90% of Canadians live close to the US border for a reason. You need us.
