The Strategic Petroleum Reserve was created to help OUR country during emergencies.
But Presidents use it to stabilize fuel pricesโฆ GLOBALLY, because oil is a global market.
If we use much more of it to mask the cost of wars, we risk collapsing the salt caverns that hold it.
Something isn't right about this.
Trump's fancy gold renovations cost taxpayers between 400 million and a billion dollars! Where's the frickin airplane?
Q: But why aren't you flying the new plane home?
TRUMP: Uh, it's flying to Europe to one of the big bases where we can show it to the people. And we'll be going home by uh normal methods
So,...only the US gets to shoot at ships, nobody else? I'm thinking of the Iranian color guard ship and the mass murder of the unarmed sailors. Or perhaps the Iranian fishing boats struck last night. The hypocrisy is probably not playing well outside of carefully curated US audiences.
The US President's statements about Iranian leaders on June 16 (three weeks ago):
"They are absolutely reasonable people."
"It's a pleasure to negotiate with them."
"They are strong and intelligent people."
"They are not extremists."
Trump's statements about Iranian leaders today:
"They are insane."
"They are sick."
"They are crooks and scoundrels."
"They are despicable people."
"They are evil people."
He only hears what he wants to hear and cherry picks news blurbs to fit his lies. He figures most Americans just scan a headline w/out reading the details and assume they have all the facts, so most will never know the difference.
Letโs clear this up a little bit. Yes, Toyota is moving some Tacoma production to Texas.
Temporarily.
They are moving it from their Baja, California plant over to Texas while they continue upgrades to their newer plant in Guanajuato, Mexico.
This is not permanent. Itโs literally just a layover. While some Tacoma production will stay it Texas, itโll move back to mostly Mexico when upgrades are finished.
The approximately 2,000 jobs this will bring is not even a dent in the 400,000 weโve lost since Trump was elected.
