Five New Permits -- March 27, 2026

Locator: 50341B. 

RFK, Jr: has had his fifteen minutes of craziness; will he follow Kristi Noem, stage left?

The Houthis: is this why upwards of 10,000 soldiers are being sent to the Mideast? Mapping Yemen. The general consensus is that the world can't handle one strait being closed, much less two.

WTI: near the end of the day with news that the Houthis were entering the war, WTI briefly went over $100 (don't recall if it actually hit $101); regardless, it closed at $99.64; up $5.16; up 5.46%. See this note.
