Trump’s illegal war in Iran is a gift to his Big Oil friends who bankrolled his campaign with the promise of raking in profits. Turns out it's the one promise he actually delivered on. Meanwhile, Americans are paying over $4 per gallon at the gas pump and suffering from rising energy costs.
While Americans struggle with rising gas prices and inflation, big oil is making billions from the Iran War. Oil industry profits have more than doubled in just a year, reaching their third highest level in history.
This is what makes Trump’s attacks on EVs so stupid. To salvage a failing industry that happens to include his big crooked donors, he’s sabotaging America’s auto industry in international competition. Everything else aside, EVs are just better vehicles. www.eenews.net/articles/dri...
Then you’d better stand by your CBAM against Trump’s corrupt fossil-fuel-funded attacks! Every remaining pathway to climate safety requires ending fossil fuel’s crooked free-to-pollute business model. CBAM is the best vehicle for that — it’s truly our last lifeboat. www.politico.eu/article/spai...
They don’t want people to see what a wreck they’ve made of the place. Empty, echoing, failed — a mob bust-out gone wrong.* *What do I mean by that? Usually gangsters tried to keep the place going for a while as they looted it. This was a botched job. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/u...
BTW, you want litigation, do terrible claims payment. In the aftermath of disaster, do people want lawsuits, or quick fair claims payment? Fail at the latter, you get the former. Screwing customers more by denying access to lawyers is a lousy solution, except for insurers (donors).
After Hurricane Debby, the state-backed insurer zero-dollared more than 2/3 of Floridians’ claims. It’s their position that more than 2/3 of Floridians are fraudsters entitled to nothing? Or is Florida’s political elite covering for insurance and fossil fuel donors?
Florida officials say it’s not climate change but their own citizens’ massive fraud that’s driving the home insurance crisis. Nice, huh? Here’s how many Floridians get zero dollars after an insurance claim:
Weiss Ratings Chart titled, "Homeowners Receiving No Payment From Claims Increases." Chart shows at least 11 insurers in Florida seeing denied claims rise from 2023-2025.
Every day the Iran war drags on, Americans pay the price. Donald Trump has little incentive to end it when his billionaire friends keep getting richer while working people struggle to fill their tanks and pay for the basics.
Soaring prices for oil and gas, triggered by the war in Iran, are driving a surge in corporate profits for multinational energy companies, with Shell reporting a $9.8 billion windfall between April and June.
“Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.” Blanche had to lie, and lie about lies, and walked himself into box canyons of lying. They’re hiding documents, pretending they don’t exist, which would only worsen the collusion. The truth will out.
