Taking democrats at their word….lmao….

Tell us what a mid-term flip will do? Please give some valuable insight. What policies are you hoping the dems can come up with?

Many moons……you read my post. Lmao.

People actually think Trump would start a war for a distraction. Where do we get these people?

I screen shot one of your posts many moons ago. Every time I see you post, I just pull it up. It’s about as informative. Don’t unblock me. The mid-terms usually flip. Why would anyone cry? Lmao

Google: Crude oil prices peaked at an all-time high of nearly $140−$147 per barrel in July 2008 during the George W. Bush administration due to high demand and stagnant production. Prices later rose again during the Obama administration, driven by global recovery and speculative trading, sparking intense political debate over energy policies. The American Presidency Project +3 George W. Bush Era Oil Prices Price Spike: Oil prices rose steadily throughout Bush’s presidency, reaching record highs near $147 per barrel in July 2008. Causes: The 2007–08 price spike was primarily driven by strong global demand, particularly from developing nations, against stagnant world production. End of Term: As the 2008 financial crisis worsened, oil prices collapsed, with gasoline dropping to $1.85 per gallon by the time Obama took office in January 2009. The Century Foundation +3 Obama Era Oil Prices Rising Prices: Gas prices rose during the Obama administration, setting records for February 2012, which opponents blamed on insufficient domestic drilling policies. Response: In 2011, President Obama authorized the release of 30 million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) to counter supply disruptions. Market Factors: Proponents argued that high prices were due to global factors beyond presidential control, while critics pointed to reduced drilling on federal lands early in his term. Policy Shift: While initially opposing increased conventional drilling, the Obama administration oversaw the development of new extraction techniques and later lifted the ban on crude oil exports in his second term. Cato Institute +4 Key Takeaways Common Drivers: Both administrations faced high prices largely driven by global supply and demand imbalances, though political arguments differed on how much a president influences these prices. Political Debate: Bush's high prices were criticized for inaction, while Obama faced criticism that his policies were not sufficiently boosting domestic supply

Google: As of March 2026, the Trump administration has temporarily eased certain sanctions on Russian oil shipments, specifically authorizing purchases for oil already at sea until April 11th to combat high global energy prices caused by the ongoing war in Iran . The move, described as a "narrowly tailored, short-term measure" by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, aims to lower oil prices but has been criticized as a potential economic boost to Russia's war efforts. NBC News +3 Key Details on the 2026 Policy Shift: Targeted Relief: The authorization specifically allows for the sale of Russian oil currently in transit, not a complete removal of all sanctions. Economic Context: The measure was taken amidst rising energy prices, which surged over $100 a barrel following disruptions in the Middle East. Controversy and Criticism: Critics and allies have argued that this action provides a financial windfall for the Kremlin's efforts in Ukraine. Previous Actions: In a different context in 2018, the administration also eased sanctions against companies linked to Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska

We haven’t run out of bombs. Patriot defense missiles….running short, not out.

Our Constitution has made this the greatest country in the history of the world. Why anyone would suggest that it’s somehow outdated or simply a piece of paper, as Obama would say, and needs to be changed for “today’s” world, don’t really know what their talking about and need to tell me which country has it better.

All presidents have had problems with Iran. Do I have to list every problem? Read your history.

What’s that supposed to mean?

A pinky swear deal with terrorists. Lmao. It’s like punishing your kid by sending them to their room. The whole time their saying, “Can I come out now? I’ll be good”.

Yes, the 12 day cares at the same address. Ha ha. I appreciate your concern.

Jefferson spoke against liberalism, so there’s that. Benedict Arnold would have been executed if caught, today he would be governor of California or mayor of NYC.

Big girl would say he is old. I say the man never sleeps. On the campaign trail is brutal. That’s an old clip. PBS……not good. Also notice he isn’t scripted. Price of crude is the same.

Newsom controlled state, Bass controlled city. Is this what we have come to?

Some want Trump to fail at everything….but that’s a good thing?

Antifa?

All I can say is that Trump tried to totally destroy Iran’s nuclear program first. That was incomplete and Iran wasn’t listening. When do we do something about “danger”? We already have sleeper cells which has been known for years. Now the threat of drones to California. They were in Venezuela. Do we not attack and allow them to keep advancing? All of a sudden the fight could be on our turf and we scream “where’s our security”? Even a dirty bomb has devastating effects. I’ve always believed in removing the threat “over there”. Costs are astronomical for sure, but it’s the first duty of the POTUS….protect the American citizens from our enemies, both foreign and domestic. So yes, it’s commensurate to me.

I could easily pay the cost of this war with one day care in Minnesota. Hate to hit you with something like that, but I just think it’s funny what money we worry about and what we don’t. Our country’s security here and globally has no price tag. Crude oil price is at $94.

Apparently nobody cares. Shocker.
