Iran War?

I think God would assume the flood technique was not quite as effective as earlier methods.  My money is on going to back to the true and tried Giant Meteor as used on the dinos.

TACO alert! Retaliation for Hormuz delayed for another 10 days.

That's a different question as to whether evangelicals support war mongering because they think it will bring about the rapture.

I don't understand, if evangelicals are telling their troops that the reason they are fighting this war is to bring the world closer to Armageddon, what is the distinction you are drawing?  Seems pretty clear the US has religious fanatics in positions of power who want the world to end.

Missed opportunity - it's much more effective to do one's insider trading during trading hours. This way everyone knows the same thing when the market reopens.  Trump must be very upset about that.

Wouldn't that only work if someone had advance knowledge of the announcement though?

Maybe, but so does everyone else.

The whole market is a futures market.  I don't understand the relevance of the timing of the trading markets being closed as being all that relevant to how the grifters are going to grift.  We might see that there was a spike in trading just before the markets closed in NA.  Just like there was a spike in trading 15 minutes before the first Trumpian declaration.

After-market trading is still going on, and the filthy pleb retail traders don't have access to that.
