From The Sidelines

@michaelschwab13 Well that ship has sailed. He's not coming back and neither is luhnow. So whats the move forward?

Should never have fired James Click

@ScottJenningsKY More people are coming to California than leaving. The Californians that left for Texas are fleeing Texas and moving back to California. The education system there is far better than in Texas. The economy is one of the best in the country.

California has been living under one-party Democratic rule for decades. The state has failed. The education system has failed. There's an affordability crisis. People are fleeing the state. At what point do the voters demand change?!

@saylordocs Is the pull up in the room with us because he did not complete a single pull up in this video

Health Sec. Bobby Kennedy SMASHED 20 pull-ups at DCA airport, at 71 years old This is CRAZY! 🔥

@CheriDiNovo Um..yea..in case you missed it, the US started a war in an area thats very easy to shut down abd controls 20% of the worlds supply.

The rise in gas prices is because #BigOil is price gouging. No. Other. Reason. Nationalize them like Norway did

@GinaHinojosaTX @GregAbbott_TX The gas tax just gives temporary relief, takes much needed tax dollars from critical infrastructure, and extends the high gas prices. Get yourself a good oil and gas person who understands the business and geopoltical fluctuations

Gas at $4 a gallon now in Texas. What are you waiting for, @GregAbbott_TX? Suspend the gas tax.

@JimWright4Texas There is no sharia law in Texas. Anyone who says there is, is lying to you.

Like every Texan, I am deeply concerned about the alarming Islamification of Texas. I fully expect the Texas Legislature to make this issue a priority in the upcoming session. But the Texas Railroad Commission, the agency charged with regulating the oil and gas industry, has no authority to make any policy that would affect this issue. French seems unaware that the Texas oil and gas industry is strictly governed by the laws of the State of Texas and of the United States – not by Sharia law or any laws or rulings from the State of Delaware. Bo is also confused about the constitutional authority of the position he is seeking and the work of the Railroad Commission. He seems to think he is running for the State Legislature.

@awlivv69 Pretty cool..looks a bit like the holy hand grenade from Monty Python....

new tat

@RepKeithSelf There is no such thing as Sharia law within Texas.

🚨BREAKING: Evidence is exposing the FACT that North Texas is ground zero for the growing influence of Sharia in America. - The development of master-planned Muslim enclaves like The EPIC - rebranded as The Meadow. - The opening of a Muslim college - branded as Texas American Muslim University (TexAM). - A taxpayer-financed waterpark in Grand Prairie, TX playing host to a Muslim only gathering - rebranded as a modest dress code event. Call them whatever you want, these people have no desire to assimilate, their intent is to dominate! We know their playbook: VICTIMIZATION-play the victim card. Followed by INTIMIDATION, and when it is too late to do anything, DOMINATION. It worked in Europe, Michigan, Minnesota, and New York, now it is playing out in North Texas. The time to take a stand against their sinister plan is now!

@sephius1999 I think the idea is to sell computing assets back to a central location which would offset the power requirement, plus extra. It's an interesting idea but I think there are too many variables to this.Power costs, water usage for cooling, who maintains if theres technical issues?

Sooo...the home owner pays the electric bill I need this to fail miserably.

@RBReich They want employers not having to hold off on hiring because the business environment is too volatile

Independent estimates warn the Iran War has cost $72B so far — nearly triple what Trump's DoD has admitted. That's over $1 billion per day. People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want affordable housing. They want their basic needs met.

@Chandler_Rome I feel like this is Crane saying I'm paying this guy $54 million to pitch in the mlb...he's going to pitch...

Despite two ominous minor-league rehab outings, Tatsuya Imai will return to a desperate Astros rotation that has no other choice but to see what he's got - nytimes.com/athletic/72583…

@SGhasseminejad This was always going to happen. Iran is a no win battlefield for the US. This is why smarter presidents have all declined to invade.

I understand president’s desire to give diplomacy every opportunity possible, however, this “pause” like the “ceasefire” will further embolden the regime, cement their perception that they are winning, amplify the voices in the West that claim US is losing, and weaken US and president’s credibility.

@GunsmokeTopGun What the hell is domestic pricing? Oil is sold on the global markets at a delivered price(futures have been so manipulated they no longer match the true price of delivery).

ATTENTION!! US consumers are giving US Petroleum Companies Profit of over $1 per gallon of gasoline bought, simply because companies are using Global pricing rather than Domestic pricing. --Use of Global pricing is questionable, but Windfall Profits of US International companies going overseas is despicable but can be controlled by Congress. (All “quotes” are Google AI responses.) “Congress has the power to significantly influence and indirectly ‘control’ U.S. company profits through several constitutional and statutory mechanisms…” “The Big Oil Windfall Profits Tax Act is a legislative proposal reintroduced in the 119th Congress (March 2026) to curb corporate profiteering during energy crises.” SOME DETAILS “If U.S. petroleum companies ignored global pricing and instead priced gasoline based strictly on domestic production costs, gasoline would likely cost between $2.50 and $3.00 per gallon, based on current economic and production data as of May 2026.” “The average price of gasoline in Russia is approximately $3.06 per gallon as of May 4, 2026.” “In January 2026, the national average price for regular gasoline in the United States was $2.81 per gallon.” “The national average price for a gallon of regular gasoline in the U.S. is $4.457 as of May 4, 2026.” --Prices rose $1.64 per gallon because US Petroleum companies used increased Global pricing instead of Domestic pricing. --Less State and Federal Taxes (also Windfall), over $1 is pure Profit. “In March 2026, Americans consumed approximately 11.4 billion gallonsof finished motor gasoline.” --Over $11.4 billion dollars of Pure Profit paid by US consumers.

@ThrillaRilla369 I do it to just get the thought out of my head snd then decide I don't have the emotional energy to deal with idiots on the topic.

Have you ever started to respond to a post and in the middle realize that you just don't care enough to finish responding…?

@realBrandonGill Then why are you actively trying to make it unrecognizable?

You can call me any name you want. I just want my children to grow up in a country that they recognize.

@JDVance You could focus the fraud investigation much closer to home and investigate the oil market manipulation that someone in the administration is conducting

Fraud has been allowed to run rampant in the US for far too long, and the Task Force has uncovered billions of it already. Democrats will keep trying to give away your tax dollars, but the Trump administration is going to make sure food stamps are not going to dead people.

@nytimes What in the fresh hell?

Add green peas to your guacamole. Trust us. nyti.ms/1FRgg7B

@xanbarksdale I'm glad to not know the name of any umpire because of an egregious call

This is the first time I've heard this... MLB umpires have 2 way microphones and are in contact with the ABS operator during the game getting feedback on their strike zone. Personally, I think that's a tremendous use of the technology to help get more calls right.

@ThatEricAlper Thats not old

@Chandler_Rome @brianmctaggart They're booing him for going to the dodgers. He could have gone to any team aside frome the dodgers or yankees and he's still be cheered.

@brianmctaggart no. he is one of the faces of the golden era. they traded him for no other reason than they didn't want to pay him. how is that something he did wrong?

Is booing Kyle Tucker OK?
