I’m in PA now packing up my daughter from her first year at Uni here.
I paid 4.59$ USD a gallon on the way down here and I’ve seen regular gas for as high as 4.89$ so far.

With all that being said - what could another 20ish warships (about equal to the warships of the Saudi's, UAE, Kuwaiti, Omanis and Qataris already have WITHIN the S of H) and say another 80ish warplanes really add to the fight? The US has the world's mightiest navy, but they themselves are too...

You can discount it all you want, but it won’t make it go away or any prettier.

Iran retains about 75 percent of its prewar inventories of mobile launchers and about 70 percent of its prewar stockpiles of missiles, a U.S. official said. The official said there is evidence that the regime has been able to recover and reopen almost all...
