@Knesix @CattLawOffice The same people who are crying about gasoline being $4 per gallon are paying $2.39 for a 16 oz bottle of WATER.
There are 128 fluid ounces in a gallon.
Gasoline is UNBELIEVABLY cheap, considering the process.

"If America produces more oil than anyone, why is gas four dollars?"
Great question. Allow me to ruin the comforting idea that "the oil industry" is one big thing that could simply decide to give you cheaper gas if it wanted to.
What most people don't know is that "the oil industry" is in fact three completely different businesses between the ground and your gas tank:
1) The drilling company pulls crude oil out of the earth.
2) The refinery, which is a DIFFERENT company, buys that crude from the driller and cooks it into gasoline.
3) The gas station buys that gasoline from the refinery and sells it to you.
Three separate businesses, three markups. Each one passing the cost to the next guy in line.
When global oil prices spike, the driller charges more because crude always trades at *global* prices. The refinery then has to pay more for that crude. The gas station pays more for that gasoline. You pay more at the pump. That is the chain, and you are at the end of it.
Now, there's a silver lining to this. That chain is also pouring money into the American economy at a scale that is hard to overstate.
Eleven million jobs. Not just roughnecks. Truck drivers, welders, engineers, port workers, accountants, you name it. We're talking about Two trillion dollars in GDP, which is roughly 8% of the entire American economy. Five hundred and seventy billion in taxes in a single year. That goes to schools, hospitals, roads, fire departments and more.
And every barrel sold to Japan or Germany or South Korea is a barrel that USED to be sold by Saudi Arabia or Russia or Iran. That money used to leave America. Now it comes in.
Four dollars a gallon hurts. But the money is not vanishing into the atmosphere. It is cycling through American towns, American jobs, and American tax revenue.
And the countries buying American crude now depend on Washington, not Moscow and much less Tehran.
American oil is no longer just a product. It has become a bond between countries.
The pain is real, but will be temporary.

@Knesix @bungarsargon What about the differences between sweet crude vs sour crude? That’s what’s driving some of the prices…

@TrumpGirlOnFire @thewriterme So the lady on the right HAD to be her granddaughter, not her daughter, right? 🤔

The problem with “trust” is that all too often, it becomes a substitute for critical thought.
My back-and-forth with @sostalksmoney on the @PBDsPodcast
I think it was a good one.
Live face-to-face discussions are always fun.

@runnerspace So wouldn’t the 4 x 800 (3200 m or 2 mile) be faster than this? Surely those girls run faster than <3 minute per 800 meters

The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh on the Iran War: “Why exactly was this necessary for America to get involved in right now? I don't think we've ever gotten... a sufficient answer to that... Especially when the nuclear program has been used as the answer. Well, we were told it was obliterated back in like June. It’s difficult to understand how both those things can be true.”
“How has America benefited from it?… I don’t think this was in America’s best interest.”

@ProjectConstitu Why do they even broach the subject? It’s amazing how they double down on anything outside the official narrative. Why can’t people have different opinions? They’re not playing this well nor thinking it through….fascinating 🧐

SHOCKING: Pastor James Kaddis Claims Investigating Erika Kirk Is A DEMONIC Act. —Watch Erika’s Proxy Try to Claim Were All Just JEALOUS🤡
LMAO. According to Pastor James Kaddis, if you’re asking where the TPUSA money went or why the "official story" of Charlie Kirk’s death keeps changing, you aren’t a seeker of truth—you’re just "jealous." 🤡
This clip is a goldmine because it shows exactly how the TPUSA/Biblein365 leadership uses "spiritual gaslighting" to avoid financial and moral accountability. By framing a legitimate investigation into murder, fraud and contradictory statements as "demonic jealousy," they are attempting to insulate Erika from the consequences of her own paper trail.
Kaddis goes full proxy for Erika Kirk, claiming the investigation into her "pathological lies" is actually a demonic attack because she’s a "Daughter of the King."
THE REALITY CHECK:
The "Jealousy" Card: They want you to believe we hate her for "what she has." NO. We call her out for what she LACKS: Authenticity and Honesty.
Lawfare & Proxies: Instead of answering the hard questions about the TPUSA fraud, Erika hides behind pastors who use the pulpit to threaten investigators with "spiritual warfare."
Notice how they frame a forensic investigation into their public records as being "inspired by the Father of Lies." It’s the ultimate shield for a pathological liar.
Erika Kirk isn’t being "persecuted" for her faith; she’s being EXPOSED for her inauthenticity. The "King’s Daughter" shouldn't need a team of proxies and lawfare threats to cover her tracks.
SOUND OFF: Is this "spiritual discernment" or just a desperate attempt to protect a sinking ship? 🚢⚓️

@stevemagness Or….some people don’t have the genetic potential to run faster than ~8:42/mile pace to break 3 hrs. I know a guy who could run a marathon every weekend but NEVER broke 3 hrs. 🤷♂️
