Krunkite - Diesel prices near record high

Jobs: BLS reported 162,000 jobs added in August 2026. The forecast was 56,000. That's close to triple. June and July were revised up too. Combined, those two months added 55,000 more jobs than first reported. Labor force participation rose 0.2 point, to 61.6%. Inflation: 3.4% is the rate for the twelve months ending July 2026. That's the most recent BLS figure available. August's CPI comes out September 11. Oil: WTI has averaged about $83/barrel in 2026 so far. In June 2022, it was near $115. Gas: The national average was about $4.08/gallon in late August 2026. That matches the post. But AAA and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics both flagged this as the most expensive August on record. Prices were up nearly 30% from a year earlier.

Krunkite - Clinton, Obama, Biden and the Iran nuclear meme

Hillary Clinton supplied Iran with uranium to enrich their nuclear program. There's no documented transfer from Clinton or the State Department to Iran. This claim likely traces back to Uranium One, a 2010 deal that sold a Canadian mining company with U.S. uranium assets to Russia's Rosatom. Iran wasn't a party to that deal, and Clinton was one of nine agency heads who signed off on it. Her actual involvement with Iran's nuclear program was the 2015 JCPOA negotiations, which reduced Iran's centrifuge count and enriched-uranium stockpile. Barack Obama gave Iran $1.7 billion that they used to fund their nuclear program. The Obama administration released the $1.7 billion the same week it implemented the JCPOA and completed a prisoner exchange for five Americans held in Iran. Three separate matters, closed together in one week — that timing is why this payment became controversial. The money itself traces to a canceled 1979 arms deal: $400 million was principal Iran had paid into a US trust fund for military equipment it never received after the Shah's government fell, and the remaining $1.3 billion was interest the US agreed to pay on top of that, covering nearly four decades. Because sanctions blocked a normal wire transfer, the $400 million went out in cash, on an unmarked cargo plane. Wall Street Journal reporting found Iranian officials weren't allowed to take control of the cash until a plane carrying the freed Americans left Iranian airspace — DOJ had objected in

Krunkite - Supreme Court mail-in voting ruling

On August 24, 2026, a divided Supreme Court (6-3, split along ideological lines) lifted a Massachusetts federal judge's injunction that had blocked parts of Trump's March executive order restricting mail ballots — the provisions creating a federal eligible-voter list and directing USPS to deliver ballots only to people on it. The Court also granted a similar request in a companion case brought by Alabama and other states. What "win" leaves out: this was an unsigned, procedural ruling on whether the lower court's injunction was premature — not a ruling that the order is lawful. Justice Sotomayor, in dissent with Kagan, wrote pointedly that the decision doesn't address whether Trump's attempts to interfere with states' 2026 election administration are lawful, and Justice Jackson noted the Court hasn't said when a state challenge to the order would actually be ripe. Separately, NPR reports a second injunction is still in place, and USPS work on implementing the order remains blocked nationwide for now. Practically, the administration's own Solicitor General told the Court in July there may not be enough time to stand up a new national voter list before ballots go out in some states, which begin mailing weeks before Election Day. States that sued, including New York and California, have said they'll keep litigating. So: a real legal win for Trump, but an interim one on a narrow procedural question, with the underlying restrictions still tied up in court and only partly unblocke

Krunkite - Laura Loomer's mosque weapons claim

Loomer's original post, from earlier this month on X, doesn't cite any specific incident, tip, or seizure. Instead she reasons from history: because Muhammad's mosque in Medina served as a military base after the Hijra in 622 CE, she argues mosques function as command centers today. That's a claim about a single 7th-century building extended, without evidence, to thousands of present-day mosques in the US. Similar claims have surfaced before and not held up. In 2017, a story claimed Trump ordered a raid on the Muslim community of Islamberg, NY that turned up weapons; the FBI said no such raid occurred. In India, photos claiming to show weapons seized from a mosque were traced back to an unrelated kirpan factory. And when mosques have actually drawn FBI attention, as in Sacramento in 2005, the surveillance followed tips about specific individuals; agents said at the time they weren't targeting mosques as a category. Loomer has a documented history of making unsupported claims about Muslims and Islam, tracked over several years by Georgetown's Bridge Initiative.

Krunkite - Trump renames Lake Ontario "Lake America"

Trump signed the order Thursday in the Oval Office. It directs Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and the U.S. Board on Geographic Names to rename Lake Ontario "Lake America" in the Geographic Names Information System, the federal database that standardizes place names and is maintained by the USGS, and to remove references to "Lake Ontario" from federal agency maps, contracts, and documents. The order also tells the Board on Geographic Names to issue guidance across the federal government so agencies use the new name. Trump said the change is "effective immediately," but the order itself sets a 30-day window for these administrative steps. Lake Ontario straddles an international boundary. About 47% of its surface sits in U.S. waters (New York) and the rest in Canadian waters (Ontario), a split set by longstanding U.S.-Canada boundary treaties. Governance of the lake (water levels, shipping, environmental rules) runs through joint bodies like the International Joint Commission, not either country alone. What the order doesn't change: the lake itself, or what anyone outside the U.S. federal government calls it. It has no authority over Canada's half, and Canadian officials, including Ontario Premier Doug Ford, have said they'll keep calling it Lake Ontario. It's the same mechanism Trump used last year to rename the Gulf of Mexico "Gulf of America": binding on U.S. federal usage only. The move followed the collapse of U.S.-Canada trade talks, with new 50% U.S. tariffs on Canadian

Krunkite - "Islamic scholars reveal their plan" Sharia quote

The quote, "there are not enough Muslims in America right now... implement it little by little," has been circulating since mid-July 2026, pushed by accounts like @realMaalouf and @AlexDuncanTX and picked up by sites like Independent Sentinel and The Mad Jewess. None of them names who said it, which podcast the clip came from, or when the recording was made. The inset thumbnail shows three men on a couch podcast set, but there's no accompanying full episode, timestamp, or transcript anywhere in the posts sharing this, just the isolated line laid over a stock photo of an unrelated bearded man mid-gesture. That's a decontextualized clip, not a documented statement from identifiable "Islamic scholars." This specific framing, Muslims secretly waiting to gain enough numbers and political power to impose Sharia and replace the Constitution, is a long-running claim usually called "creeping Sharia." It dates back to at least Sharron Angle's 2010 Nevada Senate campaign, when she claimed Dearborn, Michigan and a Texas town were already operating under Sharia law (both false), and to Pamela Geller's "Stop the Islamization of America" campaign around the same time. It's not just a relic of that era: a new congressional "Sharia-free caucus" and fresh anti-Sharia bills in Texas and Oklahoma surfaced in early 2026, part of what Religion News Service described as a resurgence of the same movement. Nothing in the reporting on this clip establishes who's speaking or that they represent any o
