Law. Conservative, but certainly not a right-winger. Also once a foreign service officer. Sect. 230 is my passion. [email protected]
Four years ago when Ken Starr died, Bill Clinton stated he read the obituary and realized "his family loved him," which he considered "something to be grateful for.” Clinton added he was taught not to speak ill of the deceased, saying, "I have nothing to say.” #trump
The shrugging responses or outright support from most rank-and-file Republican voters on this website to Trump’s depraved response to Mueller’s death only reinforce why I left the party. The rot goes all the way down. Impossible to associate with it.
Iran is the head of the snake for global terrorism, and through President Trump’s Operation Epic Fury, we are winning this critical fight at an even faster pace than anticipated. In response to Iran’s terrorist attacks against global energy infrastructure, the Trump Administration will continue to deploy America’s economic and military might to maximize the flow of energy to the world, strengthen global supply, and seek to ensure market stability. Today, the Department of the Treasury is issuing a narrowly tailored, short-term authorization permitting the sale of Iranian oil currently stranded at sea. At present, sanctioned Iranian oil is being hoarded by China on the cheap. By temporarily unlocking this existing supply for the world, the United States will quickly bring approximately 140 million barrels of oil to global markets, expanding the amount of worldwide energy and helping to relieve the temporary pressures on supply caused by Iran. In essence, we will be using the Iranian barrels against Tehran to keep the price down as we continue Operation Epic Fury. This temporary, short-term authorization is strictly limited to oil that is already in transit and does not allow new purchases or production. Further, Iran will have difficulty accessing any revenue generated and the United States will continue to maintain maximum pressure on Iran and its ability to access the international financial system. So far, the Trump Administration has been working to bring around 440 million additional barrels of oil to the global market, undercutting Iran’s ability to leverage its disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump’s pro-energy agenda has driven U.S. oil and gas production to record levels, strengthening energy security and lowering fuel costs. Any short-term disruption now will ultimately translate into longer-term economic gains for Americans – because there is no prosperity without security.
Umm did Robert take a look at who is running the commission in charge of this? I take DeSantis and Randy Levine over anything on the other side. Could you imagine Gavin Newsom -- who allowed homelessness to grow, illegals to tap into his welfare state and cant put out a fire--trying to solve something like this?
Pittsburgh Public Schools will operate remotely from April 22–24 as the city prepares to host the 2026 NFL Draft. With road closures, heightened security, parking restrictions, and heavy traffic expected, the city believes remote learning is the best option during that time.
