D Day +1
BUTCHER'S THUMB — June 7th, 2026
This week’s butcher’s thumb shows a coordinated messaging pattern across the networks, with Sen. Mark Warner appearing on three different shows — a clear sign of a unified Democratic and intelligence‑establishment push, likely tied to the Pulte nomination and framed through national‑security language. Republicans booked across the networks skew toward institutional or cross‑party figures, while Sunday Morning Futures remains the only program consistently aligned with the GOP’s current leadership and priorities.
FACE THE NATION (CBS)
CBS is running a “bipartisan House voices + Democratic validator + AI establishment” hour. Himes and Khanna provide Democratic framing, with Bacon as the nominal Republican counterweight. Rye Barcott adds a nonpartisan civic‑service angle. The AI panel features Chris Krebs and Ben Buchanan — both aligned with institutional and anti‑Trump narratives on cybersecurity and election integrity. The overall structure leans toward reinforcing establishment perspectives on both national security and AI policy.
What to watch:
Whether Brennan uses the AI segment to frame institutional positions as consensus while limiting dissenting viewpoints.
FOX NEWS SUNDAY (Fox Network)
Fox is running an “institutional GOP + Democratic validator” hour. Lankford represents the Senate’s institutional wing rather than the party’s current leadership. Warner appears here as well, reinforcing the coordinated messaging push. The panel is balanced, with Cooper and Hemingway providing right‑leaning analysis, Harf offering the Democratic perspective, and Kraushaar adding center‑right commentary.
What to watch:
How Bream navigates Warner’s national‑security messaging against the backdrop of Lankford’s institutional GOP positioning.
MEET THE PRESS (NBC)
NBC is running a “presidential interview + establishment panel” hour. President Trump anchors the program, giving NBC a high‑profile booking. The panel, however, leans center‑left and institutional, shaping the post‑interview framing. This structure allows NBC to feature Trump while still controlling the interpretive narrative through the panel discussion.
What to watch:
Whether Welker’s panel uses institutional framing to contextualize or counter Trump’s messaging.
THIS WEEK (ABC)
ABC is running a “Democratic validator + institutional Republican” hour. Warner appears again, reinforcing the coordinated messaging sweep. McCaul provides a Republican voice, but one aligned with the institutional foreign‑policy wing rather than the party’s current leadership. The panel includes Brazile, Christie, Ponnuru, and Glasser — a mix of Democratic strategists, pre‑Trump GOP voices, and center‑right institutional commentators. The overall framing leans center‑left with an emphasis on bipartisan establishment perspectives.
What to watch:
Whether ABC uses Warner and McCaul to present the Pulte nomination or national‑security issues as bipartisan consensus items.
STATE OF THE UNION (CNN)
CNN is running a “Democratic leadership + institutional Republican + bipartisan House voices” hour. Warner appears for the third time, underscoring the coordinated messaging effort. Suozzi and Fitzpatrick add bipartisan House representation. The panel includes Escobar and Allison reinforcing Democratic messaging, with Mace and Singleton providing center‑right analysis. The overall structure leans center‑left with an emphasis on institutional framing.
What to watch:
How Tapper/Bash uses Warner to anchor the hour’s national‑security narrative while the panel shapes the interpretive frame.
SUNDAY MORNING FUTURES (FNC)
Futures is running a “House GOP leadership + state‑level GOP momentum” hour. Tenney provides a strong House Republican voice aligned with the party’s current direction. Collins adds a state‑level GOP leadership perspective. Devine and Ortagus offer analysis consistent with the network’s focus on investigative reporting and foreign‑policy clarity. Futures remains the only program consistently aligned with the GOP’s present priorities and messaging.
What to watch:
Whether Bartiromo centers the hour on legislative oversight or state‑level GOP initiatives.
Ecosystem Summary
This week’s lineups reveal a coordinated messaging push centered on Sen. Mark Warner, who appears on three major programs — a clear sign of a unified Democratic intelligence Deep State establishment effort, likely tied to the Pulte nomination and framed through national‑security language. Republicans booked across the networks skew toward institutional or cross‑party figures rather than the party’s current leadership. CBS and ABC emphasize Leftwing establishment perspectives on AI and foreign policy, NBC pairs the President Trump interview with a center‑left interpretive panel, CNN reinforces institutional framing through Warner and bipartisan House voices, and Bartiromo remains the only host consistently aligned with the GOP’s current leadership and priorities.
Notably absent from all coverage: California’s embarrassing 36‑day ballot‑counting timeline, a national outlier that raises structural questions none of the networks are touching—not even Fox News. Perhaps President Trump will weigh in on it!

“The Sunday Morning Bray”, by Bray!
Revelation 21: 2-4 (King James Version)
And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
Oil is the basic lifeblood of an economy. It is the simplest energy source ever invented since it is fairly simple to drill, transport and turn into usable energy. Once it is broken into its different types of gas or diesel it becomes very transportable and then used by cars, trucks, trains, and planes. Oil is a nearly perfect energy source which is why it is the main source in the world.
Most people do not understand how oil is priced and are confused about the pricing of oil and gasoline. They tend to look at it through the prism of a retail product rather than a wholesale commodity. Commodities are larger bulk sizes such as trucks, railcars or in this case tanker loads.
Large wholesalers will gamble on which way the market will go on their commodity. If a wholesaler owns a tanker of oil at $80/bbl. and the market goes to $100 then he makes millions of dollars in profit. If he buys at $100/bbl. and it goes to $80 he loses millions.
Normally it is sold with a dollar or two profit which is still very large amounts of money since very few institutions can purchase tankers full and lots of times it is broken up into parts of tankers or tens of thousands of barrels which all are gambled or sold the same way since this is simply a way to distribute large quantities of different commodities.
Most the time it is just normal distribution where a commodity dealer will simply sell the tanker to a smaller user or users for a price which is agreed to by both parties. The smaller distributor cannot get the volume discount the larger dealer receives, which is how the dealer makes his money in most cases the market is not moving up or down.
Gas stations work the same way. If the owner thinks prices are going up he may buy more expecting to make more profit and if it is going down buys less so he minimizes his losses. This is why it tends to go up faster since he is trying to maximize profit while lowering it slowly to minimize losses. If the station across the street lowers his price he will be forced to lower since he owns high priced gasoline and the longer he holds it the lower he has to sell it for.
It is great when he buys it at $3/gal and the market goes to $3.50 which allows him to make his normal margin of 10 cents plus an additional 50 cents as he sells thousands of gallons. It is not as much fun when he has $5/gal gas and it begins to start falling and tries to drop it as slow as possible since he does not want to lose 40 cents to sell tens of thousands of gas.
He is a slave to the market and cannot sell it at $5 if everyone else is selling at $4.90 since the longer he holds it the lower the sell price likely becomes. This is why he will try to buy heavier when prices have a potential to go up and lighter when those prices are coming down to maximize profit and minimize losses.
This is why prices at the pump go up and down when people try to gamble up and down the oil pipeline. They all try to guess the market and most of the pipeline is guessing long term prices are going to go back to normal barring any surprises and it is a matter of when. This is why it has not gone to $200 per barrel and is hovering around 90 fairly stable.
At $90/bbl. it should lower gas at the pump after the higher priced oil goes through the pipeline. There will be a stabilizing down although everyone is trying to avoid losing money before the prices begin lowering since the distributors up and down the chain do not want to see a bloodbath which could happen once the strait is open and everyone sees prices dropping dramatically.
Hope this helps people understand what these people are talking about with the supply shortage and how it is distributed all around the world and to your tank. Everyone is a slave to oil prices including President Trump since it will do what it does depending on supplies and what people are expecting it to do. Most are expecting stable prices until the choke point is no longer choking and then it will likely go back to around $60 and gas station owners will be lowering their tanks.
Pray for President Trump

Same ol’ dirty dems week after week,DNC chattingpoints obviously in play,thanks again for the Thumb!
Thanks. It inspired my new tagline!
Here in the Keys gas providers play with the gallon price constantly. One day its $4.25 a gallon two days later 3.69. It's all over the place suggesting they are playing with the price so they can maximize profits.
We only have so many gas stations here in the keys. It's a lot more stable in Miami,but who wants to live there.!
Once the straits of Hormuz are reopened,and who knows when that will be,crude oil will start a big plunge.Hopefully,near the 60's per barrel.
If so gas will drop like a rock back to the high two dollar mark or low three dollar mark. That's a key issue Trump is constantly trying to negotiate with terrorists who don't want to negotiate and break every agreement they sign anyway.
He has the toughest job there is and has idiots like the democrats making it even tougher for obvious reasons. Their party platform is TDS. They hate Trump. Worse than that their party hates America with only 19% claiming they love the country they are lucky enough to live in.
Add in the problem of the mad mullahs and the irgc demanding to keep their nukes and even make more and you have the enormous impasse that we have now. That keeps gas higher than it needs to be and consequently raises the price of everything that moves.
One of the key issues that we don't talk enough about is the nuclear problems with the mullahs still in charge. Its a huge problem and even with an agreement if we don't get regime change the nuclear portion of any agreement with Iran may come back to haunt us.
One problem is that much of the nuke material is buried under lots of earth.
It's so bad they may start a new area to do their weaponizing of uranium. it's here:
A really great article,never ends
Sort of a bottom line is here:
Pickaxe Mountain (Kuh-e Kolang Gaz La) is a tunnel complex about a mile south of Natanz, dug into a mountain that rises some 1,608 meters above sea level. What matters is the rock overhead:
the facility is buried deep, by ISIS estimates between 80 and 145 meters down.(approx240-450 feet) That much cover may puts it out of reach of even America's largest bunker-buster, the GBU-57....The massive ordinance penetrator carried by the B2 Bomber.
Iran has claimed since 2021 that it is building a centrifuge plant there; Western intelligence suspects a new enrichment site. The day Iran starts enriching under that mountain, the fast timelines come back, somewhere nobody can reach.

So as we see as long as the current regime runs Iran the US will always be in jeopardy.
Conservatives can't afford to sit out. Vote like your freedom depends on it, it does!
Excellent and so true.
Khanna provides Democrat framing, with a slant of Feng Feng on the side? 🤔
All the Arabs in the Gulf are being shut down and likely want to see Iran gone. Those wells are backing up and according to some can destroy their entire drilling infrastructure.
At $100/bbl, domestic drilling is profitable and can be expanded to replace their oil. At this price if the world would make oil king there would be no need to buy Iranian oil and stablize the market. The real vilian is the DNC and their Climate Change religion.
Some time ago Patrick Byrne figured out that there were two data centers in the world that basically controlled elections for some 71 countries.
Here's Byrne: 
He discussed it below with Emerald Robinson in a short 7 minute video that I have watched several times now it's so good.
Bryne spent millions and went to all extremes to discover that our elections here in the US have been basically controlled in Belgrade by smarmatic and dominion employees. They use machines designed to allocate votes to the desired candidate.
The only reason Trump won in 2024 is that accd. to Byrne:
Trump smoked the data center for five days
Just long enough for him and a bevy of others to win with the cheating gone for the duration.
The other data center is in China and one controls the US and the other the rest of the world.
Below is more:
Inside the Data Center Plot I Discussed with:
@EmeraldRobinson
I talked this through with Emerald: allegations link former CIA Director John Brennan (Obama era) to a Serbian Huawei-linked businessman tied to data centers in Belgrade that reportedly hosted Dominion servers. With Huawei’s CCP ties, the claim is that elections could be manipulated remotely—and that a shutdown of this site allegedly disrupted attempts to interfere in 2024.
Igor Jecl, a former executive at Serbia's state telecom company Telekom Srbija, was the businessman linked to Huawei through offshore payments while also being tied to data center projects in Belgrade and Kragujevac.

Ol’ “RO” is one of the worst dems around,every other word is hate trump hate trump,all he knows.SHows how far down the hard left has gone.
One potential I have raised before is arming the kurds. But, that has little movement currently. Boots on the ground may well be the only way to get rid of the irgc and the mullahs. Who will stand up and actually do that remains to be seen.
Crude oil could be challenged by other energy forms that will be revealed during disclosure. Disclosure is happening now and will continue for the rest of my life there is so much to tell. Even when that happens and expect it, likely it will be years or perhaps decades before demand slows for crude.Too many products are produced from the by-products of crude oil to get rid of it all together.
Apparently you are very far behind the times.
The Gulf States have united into the Gulf Cooperation Council decades ago and President Trump enhanced that effort by adding Israel to form the Abraham Accords
No. I just switched. See this post. However, my old tagline was great and I had that for more than a year, but I’m tired of the media constantly propping up democrats and Socialists while demeaning and accusing Conservatives.
And they’re ignoring the biggest story of today while pushing for the Deep State with Warner and nobody really cares except them about Gabbard’s replacement. It’s insider claptrap.
