CARE TO HELP US SPEED THINGS ALONG IN IRAN YET, FELLAS? Europe has ‘maybe 6 weeks of jet fuel left,’ energy agency head warns. “If we are not able to open the Strait of Hormuz … I can tell you soon we will hear the news that some of the flights from city A to city B might be canceled as a result of lack of jet fuel.”

What do you mean “we,” Kemosabe?

HMM: Trump to sign executive order on psychedelic drug used abroad to treat PTSD.

The White House is drafting an executive order that would signal the Trump administration’s willingness to further U.S. research into a drug called ibogaine.

Ibogaine, a naturally occurring compound from a shrub native to Africa, is used to treat depression, anxiety, addiction, post-traumatic stress disorder and brain trauma.

Because it’s illegal in the United States, Americans have been traveling to unregulated clinics, often in Mexico or the Caribbean, to take the drug.

The Trump administration doesn’t plan to reclassify the drug for medical use at this time — it will remain a Schedule I drug.

President Trump intends to sign the executive order as soon as this week, two of the sources said.

Almost anything might be an improvement. There hasn’t been a PTSD drug approved by the FDA since Paroxetine (Paxil) in 2001.

ANALYSIS: TRUE.

The "overlap" between Christianity and Islam is simply that Muhammad, in an attempt to give credibiilty to his degenerate "religion," appropriated some Biblical figures, often getting the key details wrong.

There is no actual overlap or spiritual relation between the two. https://t.co/HY8MkUwixD

TEACHERS WHO TEACH? Train teachers to teach — not to be guides on the side. “For 30 years, teachers were trained to be ‘guides on the side,’ helping students ‘construct understanding,’ writes Chris O’Brien on Never Stop Learning. They weren’t trained to teach. Now teachers fear being replaced by robots who will explain, model and assess. Humans may be allowed to stick around as counselors.”

If you’re going to spend $30 million just to not open one grocery store for three years — assuming no delays! — then the money isn’t going to a grocery store.

THE NEW SPACE RACE: The race to Shackleton Crater is on—will Jeff Bezos or China get there first? “The two landers will arguably be the most ambitious robotic missions ever sent to the Moon. The Endurance spacecraft, built by Jeff Bezos’ space company Blue Origin, will become the largest lunar lander in history, exceeding the size of NASA’s Apollo lunar module that ferried crews to and from the lunar surface more than 50 years ago. China’s Chang’e 7 mission will feature a smaller lander, but the project also includes an orbiter, rover, and a hopper drone to scout for hidden ice deposits.”

GAS: Sixth day with a drop in fuel costs over the last seven days. “Fuel costs were a little more than 1 cent per gallon cheaper compared to Wednesday’s price of $4.108 per gallon. Gas prices were over seven cents per gallon lower than a week ago, when regular gas cost $4.166 per gallon, according to AAA. This week marks the first time since February that the national average price for a gallon of regular gas was less expensive than the previous week.”
