SITREP IRAN: Global Oil Prices Rising!
The IEA (International Energy Agency) is a Paris-based intergovernmental org founded in 1974 by 31 OECD countries (plus associates) to ensure energy security after the 1973 oil crisis.
The 1973 oil crisis was a total oil embargo against countries that had supported Israel at any point during the 1973 Yom Kippur War (another Middle East war—they never seem to end), which began after Egypt and Syria launched a large-scale surprise attack in an ultimately unsuccessful attempt to recover the territories that they had lost to Israel during the 1967 Six-Day War (a previous Middle East War).
The IEA monitors, among many tasks, global energy markets and coordinates emergency oil reserve releases—like today's proposed HISTORIC drawdown from the 1.2B barrel stockpile to stabilize prices and supply.
So what?
Fill your gas tanks up now before the prices go up even further.
You may not want war but war wants you and when it takes hold, the costs and consequences are usually severe.
Pray for our troops and our POTUS
Today marks the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding. A small group of colonists, guided by conviction and faith in God, chose freedom over servitude and risked everything for it. Though uncertain of success, they believed freedom was worth the risk. Their courage established the greatest Republic in history. Happy 250th Independence Day. God bless the United States of America. Let’s get after another 250 years of Freedom! 💪🏼🔥🍀🙏🏼🇺🇸
They possessed neither a standing army nor the certainty of victory, relying instead on mutual TRUST and faith in Providence. Based on this foundation, they established what would become the freest nation in history. This TRUST was tested and reaffirmed in 1812, during the Civil War, and throughout two World Wars, each marked by sacrifice and hard-won victory. We must acknowledge that the TRUST the people once placed in their government has diminished. The Republic established by our predecessors was never intended to function without active stewardship. This responsibility is enTRUSTed to each generation, requiring us to defend and renew it continually. As we celebrate tomorrow, we should remember the cost of that original commitment.
General George Washington’s leadership philosophy centered on integrity, self-discipline, and leading by example.
He believed that true authority stems from moral character rather than just a title and he believed the actions of a man and not what position he held mattered above all else.
250 YEARS
AMERICA STRONG
Two hundred and fifty years ago, fifty-six men gathered in a stifling Philadelphia room, risking everything as they signed a document that could have sealed their fate. With no promise of victory and the gallows looming if they failed, they pressed their names to history anyway. This Independence Day marks two hundred and fifty years since that gamble paid off.
I reflected on the sacrifices those men made to create this Republic, and on what will be required of us to ensure it endures for another two hundred and fifty years.
Let me tell you something straight up—President Trump’s tariffs are a bold, decisive strike for America’s soul. This isn’t just about trade; it’s about taking back what’s ours—our jobs, industries, and our pride. For too long, we’ve let the globalists and the weak-kneed elites sell us out to foreign powers who don’t give a damn about the American worker.
