I suppose you think that stupid video has relevance related to your foolish belief that the US is celebrating victory too early, despite the fact that Iran is just days away from total the economic collapse that has already rendered their currency virtually worthless, while our economy is busy setting record high levels, huh?
And just watch how much higher it goes in the next couple of weeks as gas prices begin to drop precipitously and the Democrats give up their idiotic attempt to keep the government shut!Wall Street hits record as S&P 500 continues 2-week rally, boosted by hopes for Iran war's end

The U.S. stock market hit a record Wednesday after adding to its two-week rally built on hopes the war with Iran won't create a worst-case scenario for the global economy. Whether Wall Street is correct to have so much hope for peace and whether stocks should be the highest they've ever been remains to be seen. The S&P 500 rose 0.8% and eclipsed its prior all-time high set in January. After falling nearly 10% below its record in late March, a drop steep enough that Wall Street calls it a "correction," the index at the heart of many 401(k) accounts has since roared more than 10% higher.Much of the rally has been due to expectations for calming tensions in the war and a resumption of the full flow of oil from the Persian Gulf to customers worldwide. Hopes remained high Wednesday as regional officials told The Associated Press that the United States and Iran had an "in principle agreement" to extend a ceasefire to allow for more diplomacy.

Economists surveyed by the data firm FactSet forecast growth of just 3% in the period.
