A Billion Reasons Why Iran Is Losing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The shyest man in the world, Cardboard Mojtaba Khamenei, alleged Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran and chief Morlock in a cave under the Persian Gulf, made a pronouncement a few days ago. Now of course, he did not do so publicly. No one has seen or heard from him since U.S. and Israeli air assets blew him, his dad, all of his dad's senior military and religious advisors, up. Puppet President Masoud Pezeshkian told Fox News' Bret Baier last week that he'd seen him in person a month o
The Houthis Are Now in The Kill Box (opens the original)

Depending upon where you get your news about unfolding events in the Middle East, you probably have seen varying degrees of hysteria that the region is falling apart and about to fall into a full-scale war that will send oil to levels we have never witnessed.

Read excerpt
I can't say I remember all of my high school chemistry and physics education, but I do remember the concept about water boiling. Under normal atmospheric pressure, 212 degrees is the magic temperature for it to begin bubbling off into steam in earnest. But if you can pressurize the container holding the water, doubling its surroundings in atmospheric pressure, you get an additional 36 degrees of heat before boiling begins. That's why cars and trucks for a very long time have had pressurized cool
Watching the Iranian Regime Literally and Figuratively Run Out of Gas (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The quiet diplomacy of Operation Economic Outcast is being delivered all over the world this week by the Trump administration, and it will be very interesting indeed to see how countries like China, Russia, Turkey, Pakistan, and the United Arab Emirates react to the tightening of the global economic tourniquet on the dying regime. Each country in question has a reason, or several, to reject the demands of President Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, but the bottom line is the Americans
