Lots of buzz online about an upcoming major March heatwave for the American SW & California. And in this case, it does indeed appear increasingly likely than an extremely anomalous and even record-breaking heatwave may envelop much of the SW about a week from now.

I don't think you have to Nostradamus to figure that bombing Iran might raise oil prices. And it seems pretty obvious that buying oil in advance of causing an oil price spike might just save Americans a lot of money. But...

...maybe there wasn't much planning?

U.S. Military Refuses to Endorse Trump Claim That Iran Bombed Girlsโ€™ School โ€œIt would be inappropriate to comment given the incident is under investigation,โ€ CENTCOM told The Intercept.

โ€œThis is another instance of Trump lying and just talking out of his ass,โ€ said a U.S. government official who reviewed satellite images of the Shajarah Tayyebeh school. โ€œThis clearly was not a failed rocket from the IRGC base.โ€

For what it's worth:

Avg residential cost of electricity in Michigan: ~$0.20/kWh

My Kia Niro EV gets ~3.7 miles/kWH, or $5.40 to drive 100 miles

Avg cost of gasoline in Michigan (today): ~$3.55/gallon

A car getting 30 MPG would cost $11.84 to drive 100 miles.

1,000 miles: ~$54 vs. ~$118

These are not problems that can be fixed with new laws or more court orders.

Iranโ€™s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

I think Hegseth is the most embarrassing person in any leadership position anywhere in the world, a 13-year-old boy pretending to be a man. On 60 Minutes:

โ€œThe only ones that need to be worried right now are Iranians who think they're going to live.โ€

Israeli attacks on UNIFIL peace keepers tonight. Irish service men were not directly hit, but they aided their counterparts from Ghana. This will further deteriorate Irish Israel relations.
