Quote for the Day:

The former speaker, who swore more than a few oaths to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States…without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion,” surely knows that the document makes no reference to economic systems, to capitalism, to free enterprise or to corporations or business arrangements. Unfortunately, as James Madison warned, partisan excess can cause even former history professors at West Georgia College to lose their bearings. The same can be said for former heads of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes at Wasilla High School.

U.S. crude oil breaks above $87 as Israel reportedly preparing for Iran attack this weekend

West Texas Intermediate futures rallied above $87 on multiple media reports that Israel is preparing for an imminent attack by Iran.
The U.S. embassy in Jerusalem has restricted government employees and their families from personal travel outside Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Be'er Sheva "out of an abundance of caution."
Brent crude oil futures could spike to $100 a barrel if Iran directly attacks Israel, according to Bob McNally, president of Rapidan Energy.
