Operation..
Operation Rolling Thunder was a gradual and sustained aerial bombardment campaign conducted by the United States (U.S.) 2nd Air Division, U.S. Navy, and Republic of Vietnam Air Force (RVNAF) against the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam) from 2 March 1965 until 2 November 1968, during the Vietnam War.
The four objectives of the operation (which evolved over time) were to boost the sagging morale of the Saigon regime in the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam); to persuade North Vietnam to cease its support for the communist insurgency in South Vietnam without sending ground forces into communist North Vietnam; to destroy North Vietnam's transportation system, industrial base, and air defenses; and to halt the flow of men and materiel into South Vietnam.
This was a lesson from Vietnam War. Just a thought.

Inflate..
Wisconsin organization promoting taxpayers' rights asked the Supreme Court Wednesday to halt implementation of President Joe Biden's student loan forgiveness program, just two days after the administration began accepting online applications for debt relief from borrowers.
The Brown County Taxpayers Association filed the request for emergency relief arguing that Biden's program would cost U.S. taxpayers more than $1 trillion and that it circumvents Congress, which controls federal spending.
This White House is doing nothing by the book. Inflation started by their decisions towards Fossil fuel, then huge spending, then claim Inflation is transitory, then sanctions on Russia, after starting the war and continue supporting the destruction of the Country, life, and families.
This is adding fuel to the inflation fire that is not helping anyone. Just a thought.
Release..
President Joe Biden announced the release of 15 million barrels of oil from the U.S. strategic reserve Wednesday, and more drawdowns are possible this winter, as his administration rushes to be seen as pulling out all the stops ahead of next month's midterm elections.
It completes the release of 180 million barrels authorized by Biden in March that was initially supposed to occur over six months. That has sent the strategic reserve to its lowest level since 1984. The reserve now contains roughly 400 million barrels of oil.
The national average pump price for a gallon of gas maintained its recent surge, rising seven cents over the past week to hit $3.79. Tight supply and increased demand as more drivers fuel up are the main culprits.
The administration is just doing things they know will not work, while ignoring the proper procedure to reduce prices. Just a thought.

Yep
In a tweet, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos echoed comments that Goldman Sachs Chief Executive David Solomon
“Yep, the probabilities in this economy tell you batten down the hatches,” Bezos said in a comment attached to a clip of Solomon’s “Squawk Box” interview.
Solomon spoke after his firm had just posted quarterly earnings results that beat Wall Street estimates. Yet he said a recession could be looming as the economy deals with persistently high inflation and a Federal Reserve trying to lower prices through a series of aggressive interest rate increases.
“I think you have to expect that there’s more volatility on the horizon,” Solomon said. But on the distribution of outcomes, there’s a good chance that we have a recession in the United States.”
Some are in business to improve people's life and make profit while others are into creating enemies, into war, to make profit out of the misery of poor people.
