When will prices at the pump start to fall?
While US oil futures fell 12% in Tuesday trading, it could be a while before drivers get any significant relief at the pump. Even if oil futures begin to fall back to earth, that doesn’t mean immediate savings at the pump. Wholesale gas prices rose by 23% since the start of the war in late February. Because of that, the high point for gas prices in recent years has come in mid-April as people drive more in the spring. “They have less money and because the higher gas prices put them in a bad mood,” he said.

Oscars are too political? Speeches have been less political over time
In 2015, “Boyhood” star Patricia Arquette used most of her Oscars supporting actress speech to demand equal wages for women. But political speeches are consistently few and far between. Despite complaints from certain quarters, awards shows, particularly the Oscars, rarely have more than one or two truly political moments. Even now, the most notable examples of political speeches, the ones that are always mentioned, are from the freaking ‘70s. Which certainly obliterates the idea that the Oscars have grown more political and undermines the argument that it is a Big Problem.

Contributor: The window to declare success in Iran is closing
Thank you for flying the friendly skies, and please return your seat backs to their full upright and locked position. Mining the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran is now attempting to do, is the ultimate trump card. Unfortunately, the fellows running Iran are religious zealots who believe — deeply, sincerely and somewhat alarmingly — in something larger than quarterly economic indicators. But they know exactly what Trump has to lose: His popularity and political legacy are now tied to the price of oil. AdvertisementReferring to the U.S. military, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich told Larry Kudlow on Fox Business: “They have to keep the Strait of Hormuz open.

Pete Hegseth Slams CNN in Pentagon Briefing: “The Sooner David Ellison Takes Over That Network, the Better”
At CBS News, Ellison installed The Free Press founder Bari Weiss as editor-in-chief. Hegseth has sought to tighten press access to the Pentagon in recent months. And this week, the Pentagon barred press photographers from Iran briefings over photos that were deemed unflattering, according to a Washington Post report. Those MRAPs saved the lives of some of the people who right now are curtailing press freedoms at the Pentagon. This is what the Pentagon Press Corps has done over the years.”
