Those higher [oil] prices are causing rising petrol costs across the world, including in the US, and hurting Trump's political standing ahead of November's midterm elections.

“If the election were in May, Republicans would lose,” Newt Gingrich, the former Republican House of Representatives Speaker, told the New York Times on Tuesday. “The war, the sense of affordability and gasoline – some of that has to be cleared up in order to win. If it doesn’t change, I’ll start tearing my hair out.”

Oh dear. How sad. Never mind.

US$125 per barrel. But thats ok, Trump is blockading the Strait to force Iran to buckle. Im not a fan of Iran, but they have been buckling sanctions forever.

Does it matter to Trump that oil prices, and arguably uncertainty, are affecting the free world. Nah.

The NY Times - Behind Powell’s High-Stakes Decision to Stay at the Fed (unlocked link)

30 April 2026

Jerome H. Powell will remain a governor at the Federal Reserve after his term as chair ends, in a bid to guard against a further incursion by the Trump administration on the central bank’s independence. ...

In choosing to stay, Mr. Powell used the one tool of leverage he had left to push back on an administration that has aggressively attacked the central bank for its refusal to bend to the president’s demands for lower interest rates.

Unless another Fed governor departs, President Trump will not have another vacancy to fill until Mr. Powell’s term ends in January 2028, stymieing the president’s plans to get more of his supporters on the powerful board of governors.

The move, which Mr. Powell announced on Wednesday at his final news conference after eight years as chair, drew an immediate rebuke from the administration.

A brave man - what a pity that there aren't more like him. 😊

gzt: Feel free to suggest a catchphrase for young Don.

The result of an AI search:

Donald Trump Jr. has been associated with several nicknames:

Fredo: Used by political insiders to describe him as a "weak link," according to The Atlantic.
Diaper Don: Mentioned in the book Born Trump by Emily Jane Fox, referencing a reputation from his time at the University of Pennsylvania.
Junior Mint: Sometimes used by his former girlfriend, Kimberly Guilfoyle.

"Daiper Don" is my personal preference. He takes after his father. 🙄

Anyone already operating at such a high level of scandal has to come up with increasingly spectacular outrages and threats to stay in the media spotlight. Although there are probably only about 2.5 years left... and even that's not certain.

Keep

calm

and ignore

Trump.

Qui nihil scit, omnia credere debet. - He who knows nothing must believe everything.
Firewalls do NOT stop dragons! Really!
I avoid Big Tech. They try hard to dictate technology and „culture“ across borders.
In effect we have everything to hide from someone, and no idea who „someone“ is.

The Guardian - Trump says USA 'will be taking over' Cuba 'almost immediately'

breaking

In an aside during his just completed hour-long speech in Palm Beach, Donald Trump mentioned Cuba, “which we will be taking over almost immediately”.

The crowd laughed, but Trump gave no indication that he was joking.

“Cuba’s got problems,” he continued. “We’ll finish one first, I like to finish a job.”

“What we’ll do, on the way back from Iran, we’ll have one of our big, maybe the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier, the biggest in the world, we’ll have that come in, stop about a hundred yards off shore and they’ll say, ‘Thanks you very much, we give up.’”

Donald in Fantasyland ... again. 😳

The new company will develop tungsten mining is Kazakhstan the world's second largest tungsten mining resource.

I encourage Eric and Donald Jr practice management by walking around, "MBWA", 24 x 7 x 365 at Kazakhstan to steady the operation and make their presence felt.

Added bonus: I heard people call them girly because they only killed a elephant, unlike real men who have bagged a cryptid. Why make it their lifetime mission to trophy hunt the Lake Balkhash Monster and the Shurale forest spirit?

After cutting-their-teeth by successfully running the Kazakhstan mining they can do a MBWA take over of the moon mining for the company Interlune's moon mining.

And finally gas mining called Cloud City on Venus and manage the Ugnaughts when it becomes a thing.

Fredo seems more appropriate to Eric. Strangely Jimmy Kimmel called Juniour “Fredo Corleone of the Trump family" first, which where The Atlantic picked it up.

Jimmy Kimmel has made a number of nicknames around Trump Jr's alleged heavy drug use.
