Mr. Wright, the energy secretary, caused a market commotion Tuesday
when he posted on social media that the Navy had successfully escorted an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz.
His post drove up stocks and reassured oil markets.
Then, when he deleted the post after administration officials said no escorts had taken place, markets were once again thrust into turmoil.
Efforts to resume shipments have been complicated by intelligence that Iran was preparing to la…

How Trump and His Advisers Miscalculated Iran’s Response to War
In the lead-up to the U.S.-Israeli attack, President Trump downplayed the risks to the energy markets as a short-term concern that should not overshadow the mission to decapitate the Iranian regime.

After Trump administration officials gave a closed-door briefing to lawmakers on Tuesday,
Senator Christopher S. Murphy, Democrat of Connecticut, said on social media that the administration had “NO PLAN” for the Strait of Hormuz
and did “not know how to get it safely back open.”
Inside the administration, some officials are growing pessimistic about the lack of a clear strategy to finish the war.
But they have been careful not to express that directly to the presiden…

So glad the US is going through difficult-to-replace missile interceptors (THAAD, Patriot, etc.) on a war of choice instead of having any in case North Korea or China decide to do anything.
So wise, so safe, our child-fondler in chief is exactly who we need as a leader at this time. /s

North Korea conducts engine test for long-range missile
North Korea reports that Kim Jong Un watched a test of an upgraded solid-fuel engine for missiles that can reach the U.S. mainland. State media say the test boosts the country’s strategic strike capability. Experts say the claim may be exaggerated because key data is missing. Some say the program faces delays or seeks a better design. Solid-fuel engines help missiles move fast and hide before launch. North Korea has pushed hard to expand its nuclear arsenal since Kim’s high-stakes diplomacy…

Only this administration would try to argue a war is over when there are still missiles flying. I thought they had reached peak ridiculousness when they tried to argue with conflict was over because there was a ceasefire in place. When the ceasefire wasn't even holding. #nokings

RIVM update rioolwater en percentage positief Sars-Cov-2.
Met een stijging.
Dat is een hele tijd geleden en het is nog wat te vroeg om te zeggen dat dit een volgende golf inluidt, maar dat behoort zeker tot de mogelijkheden.
In een week tijd is het virusniveau van ongeveer 18 naar ongeveer 29 gegaan.
Er zitten 6 nieuwe dagen in de data: 15 t/m 20 mei, waarbij op de laatste dag na de cijfers op tenminste 75% van de meetstations gebaseerd zijn.

Trump's latest war may end with the United States and its allies
(or, rather, countries that used to be allies)
worse off than when the war started.
His feckless and irresponsible secretary of defense acknowledged on Tuesday that Iran retains the ability to launch missiles and drones.
(Pete Kegsbreath is mystified that the MAGA base, which was told Trump opposed regime-change wars, is upset.)
He also insisted regime change has already occurred, a sign of h…

Trump Is Serious About Accepting a Humiliating Defeat
The disastrous war could end in a geopolitical nightmare.

Attorney General Pam Bondi emerged from a House Judiciary Committee hearing in February in an upbeat mood after delivering what she believed was her best,
which is to say most bombastically defiant,
defense of her handling of the release of the Epstein files.
Many others, including some of her allies, thought her testimony
— hours of high-volume insults and non sequiturs (“The Dow is over $50,000 now!”)
— was a miscalculation that only deepened distrust of Ms. B…

Attorney General Pam Bondi’s critics inside and outside the administration say she has made unforced errors that have turned the Justice Department’s handling of the Epstein files into a political crisis.
