Folks...there are many things happening right now that should be of concern to all of us. I don't know how many of you keep up with "the news", but most of what I hear on legacy media is very diluted and behind time. I listen and follow several individuals (and you know how I hate social media, but it happens to be where I get some of the most accurate information about what is going on in the globe right now). And very little of what it hear and read can I put a positive spin on.

Peter Thiel relocates to Argentina.
New York Times: “The billionaire’s new roots in Argentina are said to be partly motivated by concerns about the future of the United States and shared beliefs with Argentina’s right-wing leader.”

From Hal Turner, several reports....
May 28, 2026 - 5:25 PM EDT -- within the past 60 mintes, IRGC missile forces launched rockets towards 4 ships in the Strait of Hormuz, which were passing through the strait without agreement with Iran - among them, one is presumably an American military ship.
At the same time, explosions are being reported in southern Iran, and loud bilateral gunfire is heard along the coastline.
UPDATE 5:34 PM EDT -- Attack CONFIRMED.
Iran's IRGC Navy carried out a missile attack on four vessels attempting to bypass the Strait of Hormuz without IRGC coordination, including American vessels.
UPDATE 6:32 PM EDT --
Now being told "fierce clashes are now underway between the US Navy and the Revolutionary Guard in the coastal Bushehr area."
UPDATE 7:43 PM EDT --
Reports are STILL coming in saying lengthy "fierce clashes" are still underway in the coastal Bushehr area after Iran launched five, one-way, attack drones, toward a US commercial ship in the Strait of Hormuz.
The US Navy shot down all the drones without exception, then immediately launched a strike on the Iranian land launch site before it could launch more attack drones...

Yesterday Morning, 5/27.....
May 27, 2026 -- 11:11 PM EDT -- Iran has launched a Ballistic Missile and Drone attack against Kuwait.
11:13 PM EDT -- Air Raid Sirens blaring throughout Kuwait . . . .
Kuwait Army Has Issued a NOTICE:
11:20 PM EDT -- Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has issued a statement claiming retaliation.
The IRGC said it "carried out an attack on a U.S. airbase in retaliation for an incident near Bandar Abbas Airport today," Tasnim News Service is reporting.
11:32 PM EDT -- MORE: In their statement, the IRGC says "aggression will not go unanswered."
Oil prices are up nearly +5% on the news.
7:35 AM EDT -- THURSDAY -- CENTCOM says Iran carried out an “egregious ceasefire violation” overnight, launching a ballistic missile toward Kuwait and multiple attack drones near the Strait of Hormuz.
The missile was intercepted by Kuwaiti forces while the U.S. took out five drones and prevented a sixth launch from Bandar Abbas.
President Trump still has faith a deal can happen, but he’s signaling he’s willing to finish the job if Iran keeps pushing.

Kaliningrad Attacked By Drones; Flew Through Poland and Lithuania Air Space
The countries of Poland and Lithuania seem to have voluntarily made themselves "Party to the Conflict" between Russia and Ukraine today. The remote Russian enclave of Kaliningrad was attacked by drones.
The countries of Poland and Lithuania seem to have voluntarily made themselves "Party to the Conflict" between Russia and Ukraine today. The remote Russian enclave of Kaliningrad was attacked by drones.
The only problem is that the drones had to fly through the air space of Poland, Lithuania, or both, in order to attack Kaliningrad. The map below shows Kaliningrad, which is Russian territory despite not being physically attached to Russia, sort of like how Alaska and Hawaii are US territory, without being attached to the continental USA.
As seen on the map, except for a sea attack, the only way drones could get into Kaliningrad would be through Polish or Lithuanian air space.
Since those two countries are already on a "war footing" over the Russia-Ukraine Conflict, and have numerous NATO troops, radar, and weapons systems on their soil, they MUST have known the drones were crossing their air space and either LET IT HAPPEN . . . . or perhaps they simply gave Ukraine permission.
Either way, it now appears that Poland and Lithuania are legitimate targets for Russian retaliation by force.

As of 9:26PM CDT WTI oil is at $87.89/bbl, it has jumped up almost $10 today. Our refined inventories are are at a low not seen in a long time.
Silver is at $76.40 as I type this. Barely a week ago it was over $100/oz.
If you have not seen or heard, with all the infrastructure that has been damaged/blown up/shut down in the Middle East (M.E.) oil fields & the refineries that have been attacked, we are headed for hard times. When the heads of those M.E. companies and countries come out publicly and state that it will take 12-24+ months minimum to get the damage repaired and all the infrastructure back online....what that means is....we haven't seen anything yet from what I am gleaning out of all this turmoil and information coming out.
I do truly hope that all of you have made some kind of provision of putting back extra food, maybe gas, have extra batteries, think "disaster" when you think about what you would need to get thru a possibly long time of shortages. I honestly hope that I am wrong, that I am looking at the worst case scenario and that these things will not come to pass....but I have a bad feeling about the near term future.
So folks, stay safe, think safe, get into a preparedness mode of mindset....we all will be needing it if this keeps heading down the road it is on.
Take care,
Frog🐸 & Rosie🐶
