I find it stunning we live in a society where people have no ability to understand basic correlation/causation. They see “price high” and blame the president. Gas prices are high under Trump because he initiated a war with Iran. A war I’m still waiting on justification for. Other prices are high because of Trump’s tarrifs, and we have economic data to support this- (Cato Institute, Goldman Sachs, ect) Prices were high under Biden largely do to supply and demand issues. For example, Biden gets in office and demand for oil is incredibly low because the world has been shut down. Suppliers have cut their supply. Then we enter a new phase of the pandemic, everyone rushes outside, and demand for oil/gas explodes very quickly while supply hasn’t caught up. High demand + low supply = price increase. There is not a shred of economic data that supports the idea that the main cause of inflation, under Joe Biden, was the government. It doesn’t exist. Therefore, I blame Trump for increasing prices because there is economic data to support the idea that his policies are directly causing price increases. I don’t blame Biden for high prices because as of right now, data showing his policies directly caused high inflation, does not exist. I have no idea how you function in society with such poor logical reasoning.

@HectorE88315654 @Variety Disney did that!

@Variety At least he has the hair style similar to Han Solo, not like that guy that Disney gave us in the awful Solo movie, nor he looked anything like him:

Disneyland unveiled its new Han Solo at #StarWars: Galaxy’s Edge and not all fans are satisfied with his new look: "Meh. He's no Harrison Ford." variety.com/2026/film/news…

@CaliBodhisattva @MLB @Cubs Not me.

@MLB @Cubs Don't let cubs fans forget how they treated this guy when he came back too early from injury and had some bad outings. They were ready to get rid of him.

Shota Imanaga ties his career high with 11 strikeouts against the Phillies!

@themagaking @mehdirhasan @Acyn All of the women accusing Swallwell are conservative, so checkmate.

@mehdirhasan @Acyn A liberal judge can call it whatever they want, but a jury of his peers said otherwise, and the actual ruling reflects that.

It is astonishing to me, astonishing, how you can work for a man literally going by a civil court of law to be liable for sexual abuse, what the judge later said it would be fine to call ‘rape’, and say stuff like this. Like, how shameless can you get??

@suzukiplshomer They had a whole segment lined up for this moment for JD to deliver. Boog stepped back.

Boog Scumbi is genuinely horrible at his job

@mr_skeptical01 @marykirst @dieworkwear So he not only looks bad but he’s also terrible by association

@marykirst @dieworkwear Looks like 90% of corporate finance guys.

"pope should stay out of politics." brother you need to stay out of a size medium

@DiscussingFilm Unpopular opinion? This title is far better.

First teaser for ‘SPACEBALLS: THE NEW ONE’. In theaters on April 23, 2027.

For example, Trump's real estate executive kids suddenly decided to invest in a bunch of defense companies right before their dad started a war

@Gilbeezyskit93 @Kydwykkyd101 @PurelyJR @rawsalerts Their sacrifices will all be in vain. They will die for absolutely nothing.

Yes. There is a cost, and it’s sad, but their sacrifice isn’t in vain and these events are making America stronger and safer. We are not only removing long time enemies from the board but taking away key allies for Russia and China, hurting their ability to escalate in the future.

🚨#BREAKING: According to reports, President Donald Trump and the Pentagon are ramping up planning for potential operations in Cuba.

@CPaints2 @DHSgov @POTUS England

@DHSgov @POTUS Yeah but where is he from originally because he's definitely not from the UK

This MONSTER was naturalized under the BIDEN ADMINISTRATION. On Monday, Olaolukitan Adon Abel randomly murdered three people, including a DHS employee, Lauren Bullis, who was brutally shot and stabbed to death while she was walking her dog. Under @POTUS Trump’s leadership, we will NEVER stop fighting to remove monsters like this from our communities.

@Samwosa04 @OfTheBraveUSA @SarahAMatthews1 We believe in freedom, yes.

@OfTheBraveUSA @SarahAMatthews1 She should have just brought up the fact the Democratic Party promotes abortions.

Peter Meijer: "Is the Democratic Party not also a party of faith?" Emily Austin: "I don't know, they made Trans Visibility Day on Easter." @SarahAMatthews1: "And Trump dropped the F-bomb on Easter and didn't go to church, he went and played golf."

@laIslaBonitan @jtimsuggs I always assumed he didn’t trick it out that much. Some nice touches here and there, but it was a newer ship kept well. Han and Chewie trashed it lol

@jtimsuggs I didn’t like Solo pulling the “Milleniam falcon used to be a luxury vehicle” because it’s a freighter, like why would Lando have a tricked out Mack Truck

Absolutely insane to look at what Han and Chewbacca did to the Millennium Falcon in just ten years

Three marriages, multiple affairs, got wife #3 pregnant while married to wife #2, and paid $50k in a sexual assault settlement

@Jerseycy11 @ABC7Chicago Well, either your failed president is lying to your face or he is very fucking stupid. Those are the only two options.

@ABC7Chicago So what?

Trump acknowledged he posted the image, but said he thought it was an image of him as a "doctor." abc7chicago.com/post/trump-tak…

Even now I still don't understand why, with so many excellent diplomats in the #UnitedStates, these two businessmen with no diplomatic experience were sent to negotiate with #Iran.

Iran’s lead negotiator Has a PhD from the University of Kent Wrote the book on Iranian diplomacy Spent 30 years at the table Trump sent his son-in-law, A real estate developer, and JD Vance.

@HawkeyeStranger @DemetriusRO6 Is that seriously the question we should be asking? Not why our country sent real estate developers and a venture capitalist to negotiate with people far beyond them in ability?

@DemetriusRO6 The question you should be asking is why were so many senior members of the Iranian regime educated in the UK..and why so many of them own property in London, then, you should research the history of British Petroleum and Iran.

@ElectionWoes @mrmanwithnoplan @PurelyJR @rawsalerts Strict *federal* gun laws would curtail this after many years.

Don't know. The article says that they have not released any details on the shooter as of yet so we don't know yet. But I guess more to your point... It's apparent he got a gun. So my question would be in response to what you're trying to queue up... If he got it illegally how will increasing gun control even more stop criminals from getting guns? The law of low hanging fruit would make me believe a big difference in violent crimes like this could be reduced by eliminating things like catch and release or cashless bail... OH, and not giving criminals a walk on crimes through probation sentences... Especially over and over again.

🚨#BREAKING: Numerous people are injured as emergency crews are on the scene responding to a mass shooting after gunfire erupted inside a Chick-fil-A 📌#Union | #NewJersey. At this time, numerous emergency crews are on the scene in Union Township, New Jersey, responding to and investigating a mass shooting at a busy restaurant. Reports indicate a barrage of gunfire erupted inside or near the crowded establishment. Officials have confirmed that at least six people were shot. One victim has been pronounced dead at the scene, while multiple others have been transported to nearby hospitals for treatment. Authorities have not yet released information on a suspect, possible motive, or whether anyone has been taken into custody. The situation remains active and is still developing.

@ElectionWoes @mrmanwithnoplan @PurelyJR @rawsalerts So I guess the shooter here legally purchased his gun in the state of New Jersey then.

You also have no idea what your talking about either... That would be an illegal gun then. To purchase a gun in NJ you need a NJ firearms license. To move into NJ with your guns you need to get a NJ firearms license. That means you can't legally bring your guns to NJ without also going through the process... In your example of TX... You still need full background checks and be 18+ for long rifles or 21+ for handguns. Prohibited persons (cannot buy or possess any firearm in TX): Felony convictions Domestic violence misdemeanors Certain mental health adjudications Fugitives, illegal aliens, etc. Along with any additional federal restrictions that may apply.
