Trump’s Hormuz Escort Order is a Desperate, Deadly Gambit That Will Sink America
The order came via a social media post from a commander-in-chief who has just set the Middle East ablaze. On March 3, 2026, President Donald Trump announced he had directed the U.S. Navy to begin escorting commercial oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz and ordered a federal agency to provide political risk insurance for all Gulf maritime trade [1][2]. I believe this is not a strategic masterstroke but the frantic thrashing of an administration that started a war it cannot finish. It is a desperate, deadly gambit that will not reopen the world’s most critical energy chokepoint; it will instead risk sinking American ships, shattering American credibility, and risking global economic catastrophe.
Cost of Living Crisis Continues As Job Market Wanes
The cost of living crisis is continuing with no end in sight. People used to use their tax refunds for trips or fun experiences, but now they have to either save the money, pay off debt, or use it to keep the lights on or buy groceries.
NATO Claims To Have Intercepted An Iranian Missile Near Türkiye

Oil Spikes To Session High As Iraq Starts Shutting Output At Massive Oil Field
Iraq’s crude oil output is being significantly curtailed. An update from Iraq specifies a shutdown of 460,000 bpd at West Qurna 2 and a cut of 700,000 bpd at Rumaila, while warning that more than 3 million bpd could be forced offline in the coming days if tanker access remains limited.
The Final Chapter: How Trump’s Ill-Fated War with Iran Dooms the American Empire
I believe we are witnessing the last, desperate gasp of the American Empire. In the early hours of February 28, 2026, President Donald Trump, in concert with Israel, launched a war he calls ‘Operation Epic Fury’ against Iran [1]. This is not a necessary act of defense. In my view, it is a deliberate, fatal trap that will unravel American global dominance through a perfect storm of economic, military, and geopolitical collapse. As one analysis starkly put it, the move ‘risks American decline’ by exposing the limits of U.S. power in a changing global order [2].
Trump: The U.S. Can Wage War “Forever” With “Virtually Unlimited” Supply Of Weapons

The Psychological Walls to Freedom
Let us imagine for a moment that we are in a museum. In one wing, the great achievements of government intervention are shown: highways, dams, public schools, and countless other ingenious designs, organizations, and feats. Things that we use in our everyday lives, which, for better or worse, supposedly ensure the smooth flow of society. Plaques and posters on the walls of this wing boast of the millions of jobs and trillions of dollars created by the state, and list the many ways by which it has contributed to the growth of the free market.
Now That Iran Has Closed The Strait Of Hormuz, How High Will The Price Of Oil Go?
The war with Iran that we have been waiting for is officially here. The U.S. and Israel are absolutely pummeling Iranian military targets, and in return, the Iranians are striking targets all over the Middle East. As you will see below, even a British military base in Cyprus has just been hit.

Oil Prices Spike As U.S., Israel, and Iran Intensify Attacks
Global oil prices jumped by as much as 13% on Monday.

Vessels travelling through the Strait of Hormuz have already been heavily impacted as attacks continue across the Middle East.

Iran’s War Strategy: Blind, Deplete, & Overwhelm – The Plan to Render U.S. Defenses Obsolete
As the war with Iran entered its second day in early March 2026, a more sinister pattern emerged from the initial volleys of missiles and drones. The opening strikes by the Islamic Republic were not a maximal effort to inflict immediate, catastrophic damage on the United States and Israel. Instead, they constituted a meticulously calculated first move in a new, asymmetrical warfare playbook. This strategy is not designed to win a head-to-head confrontation with the world’s most expensive military, but to systematically degrade its most critical capabilities, creating windows of vulnerability for a decisive, follow-on blow.
Iran Has Confirmed The Death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei

Now We Wait For War With Iran To Begin As A Rare 6 Planet Parade And A Blood Moon Eclipse Loom
Negotiations with Iran have reached a breaking point just as a parade of 6 planets is appearing in the night sky and a major blood moon eclipse is approaching next week. The skeptics will continue to insist that this is “just a coincidence” even as the missiles start flying. The third round of talks between the United States and Iran has ended in Geneva, and they produced nothing.

We Act in a World of Uncertainty, Not Probabilities
The Sierra Nevada of California is a rugged and beautiful mountain range, and it is located only about an hour east of my home in Roseville. We can see them on clear days, and many times we have driven east to go snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, or take in the scenery around Lake Tahoe.
