Crude Oil Prices Top $107.00/bbl

The start of the trump/Epstein War of Choice it was around $66.00.

In addition, trump and BiBi are bombing Iranian refineries lessening the oil supply of oil further. China buys much of the Iranian oil and probably won't be so gracious about settling for less.

Thinking $4 dollar gas in the Midwest by this time next week. Thanks, dickhead.

It’s up from about $3.50/gal a week ago. Heating oil is basically diesel so the truckers are not going to be happy. Maybe this was Trump’s deal with Elmo to sell more Tesla Semis?

One other thing, the Amazon delivery vans around here have gone electric.

Basically, propane is natural gas with different processing and refining. Natural gas comes from, mainly, you guessed it, the Middle East.

Justice matters.

Yep. And he's golfing again. $120 Million spent golfing at the taxpayers (not the Billionaires) expense.
