An armada of 170–171 empty or partially empty oil tankers are currently headed to the U.S. Gulf Coast to load American crude, maritime intelligence reports indicate. That’s 55%, above normal levels (roughly 110 in a typical month). This is being described as a “record armada” of tankers.

The tankers are coming on behalf of China, India, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. Also tankers for oil sold to the UK, Netherlands, Spain, France, Italy, and Germany.

Separate market intelligence shows 70 supertankers scheduled to arrive at U.S. Gulf ports across April–May alone. Oil markets research firm Kpler estimates U.S. crude oil exports in April will reach 5.2 million barrels per day, up about one-third from 3.9 million barrels a day in March.

Windward’s daily intelligence report on Monday shows 732 vessels carrying oil, gas, refined fuels, and other fossil fuels-based products await transit through the Strait of Hormuz.

To avoid the volatile region, many of these vessels are now rounding the Cape of Good Hope at the southern tip of Africa – a detour that bypasses the Suez Canal but adds up to 15 days of travel time to reach American docks.

HOLY CRAP! APPEALS COURT BLOCKS JUDGE BOASBERG FROM CONTEMPT ACTION AGAINST TRUMP OFFICIALS

A U.S. appeals court barred Judge James Boasberg from pursuing contempt proceedings against Trump administration officials over deportations carried out under the Alien Enemies Act, delivering a major legal win for the White House. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said the ruling should end what he called Boasberg’s campaign against DOJ attorneys enforcing immigration law. The decision follows last year’s Supreme Court ruling upholding President Trump’s authority to deport illegal aliens under the statute, a move Stephen Miller previously described as a monumental victory for the administration.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna says there are likely TWO MORE members of Congress that will be forced to resign as early as next week.

When CNN’s Boris Sanchez asked who she was referring to, Luna named names.

SANCHEZ: “You mentioned that you were anticipating that more members would either be expelled or forced to resign...”

“Can you give us an estimation on a number of how many you think may be soon to depart?”

LUNA: “Um, probably two. And it’ll probably happen the week of the 21st.”

“Sheila Mccormick has been found, I guess, fuilty on 25 different violations.”

“Stealing of $5 million in FEMA funds. I don’t think the Democrats are going to vote to protect her. In fact, I know they won’t. The votes are there.”

“And there’s another member of Congress that the speaker is looking into the Congressional ethics report on that I’m finding, is pretty alarming.”

“And so I think there’s more to come on that. But again, I won’t be leading any of those expulsions. Those are being led by other members of Congress.”

SANCHEZ: “Is that Congressman Cory Mills?”

LUNA: “Umm...I believe so, yes.”

EPA SHUTS DOWN “CLIMATE SHRINE” DISPLAY AT HEADQUARTERS

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced the shutdown of a climate and environmental justice display at the agency’s Washington, D.C. headquarters, describing it as an expensive exhibit funded by taxpayers. He cited reported costs including hundreds of thousands of dollars annually for operations, security, cleaning, and storage, while noting relatively low public attendance of about 1,909 visitors. Zeldin said the move is part of an effort to eliminate what he called unnecessary spending and refocus the agency on its core mission of protecting public health and the environment.

just spent 2 weeks in china. went into it thinking we're cooked. came back more bullish on america than ever. here's why:

1. chinese citizens are way more chronically online. on the subway, train, anywhere, literally everyone is glued to their phone. gaming, short form, wechat. "don't walk and look at your phone, it's dangerous!" announcements flood crowded areas. their tiktok isn't any better, its still garbage, soft-core porn, etc.

2. everyone's using AI — deepseek, kimi, doubao. but nobody's afraid of losing their job to it. here it feels like there's an existential crisis every week. in china, nothing. i think the CCP won't let companies mass-layoff workers. great for short-term stability. terrible for long-term competitiveness on a global scale.

3. china doesn't produce weirdos. i sat in on a class at tsinghua (china's MIT). not one student spoke unless the professor read their name out loud. no questions. no debate. chinese education produces world-class executors, not contrarians. it does make it a safer place to live though.

4. china doesn't have christianity but it has something america doesn't have: a shared story everyone believes in. every person age 25-70 watched their country go from abject poverty to skyscrapers in one lifetime. that kind of collective proof has a deep unifying effect. compare that to how divided we are right now. america has a huge meaning vacuum that needs to be filled.

nevertheless, i return back to my home in america reinvigorated. because everything i saw confirms one thing: china optimizes. america innovates. and the innovators always win.
