Un-f*cking believable

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 HOLY CRAP. In a jaw-dropping betrayal, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and state officials have PARDONED an illegal alien CHILD PREDATOR who is convicted of s*xually assaulting a 10-YEAR-OLD

He called his actions a "cultural thing"

Democrats just condoned p*dophilia!! 🤯

This is their platform!

DHS: "Tou Lue Vang was set to be removed from the country imminently after the pardon was announced. Now, the pardon could thwart his removal from the United States."

"According to court filings, Vang repeatedly s*xually assaulted a girl between 2002 and 2004. On one occasion, he tried to offer his victim $10 to keep quiet about the s*xual assaults."

"While being interviewed by police, he tried to justify his actions by saying that for him “it is a cultural thing...to marry and have s*x with girls as young as 12.” He also claimed that the victim was just as guilty as him and should also be arrested."

“Governor Tim Walz's decision to pardon an illegal alien convicted child r*pist so he can remain in our country is disgusting."

TIM SHOULD RESIGN, TONIGHT!

@BuzzPatterson Well, she and those who voted for her.

[Bill Melugin @BillMelugin_]

GOP Senators Katie Britt (R-AL) and Rick Scott (R-FL) both out with immediate calls for Congress to take action to end birthright citizenship.

Expect that momentum to grow within Republicans.

[Jeff Prime @jeffprimed]

I hope he’s serious about this, unlike a lot of his highjinks.

[Bethany O’Leary 🇺🇸 🦅 @BethanyForTruth]

🚨BREAKING: Senator Rand Paul is taking immediate action:

In direct response to today’s Supreme Court ruling upholding broad birthright citizenship, he has filed an amendment to end automatic citizenship for children of illegal immigrants.

This is what America needs!

Birthright citizenship was NEVER intended to serve as a loophole for chain migration and mass illegal immigration.

It’s time to restore the integrity of American citizenship and put American families first.

Rand Paul is leading the way. Let’s see if Congress does the right thing. These days I’m not optimistic.

Conservatives HAVE TO unite behind real solutions to secure our borders and protect our sovereignty.

[Jeff Prime @jeffprimed]

A good explanation of the issue.

⛽ HERE'S THE PART NOBODY EXPLAINS TO YOU ABOUT GAS PRICES!

Trump is right: Oil companies are playing both ends against the middle!

A gas station owner does not set his own fuel cost. He buys his gasoline wholesale from a refiner or distributor, often locked into a supply contract with a major oil company brand.

That wholesale price is set upstream. By the refiners. By the majors. Not by the guy running the register.

So why is wholesale still high when crude is sitting at $68 a barrel.

The industry's answer is inventory lag. Refiners are still selling fuel made from oil they bought weeks ago at higher prices. Chevron's own CFO has said publicly that lower crude prices take time to work through the supply chain before drivers see real savings.

Fine. But here is the question that breaks that excuse wide open.

If stations are selling old inventory bought at yesterday's price, why does the pump price jump the second crude spikes, before that expensive new oil has even been delivered.

You cannot have it both ways. Slow to fall because of old cheap inventory, but instant to rise before the new expensive inventory even arrives.

The real answer is something called replacement cost pricing. Retailers price gas based on what it will cost to refill the tank tomorrow, not what they paid for the gas sitting in the ground today. That is why prices jump like lightning when crude rises.

But somehow that same forward looking logic disappears the moment crude falls. Suddenly everybody remembers the inventory they are still working through.

That is not a supply chain mystery. That is a choice.

Economists call the pattern rockets and feathers. Prices shoot up like rockets the second crude spikes. They drift down like feathers when crude falls. The same companies pricing forward on the way up are mysteriously pricing backward on the way down.

Trump named the companies directly. ExxonMobil. Chevron. Shell. BP. He said it plainly in the Oval Office, that they are the ones not passing along the savings they should already be passing along.

California gets singled out too. Gas there averages over five dollars a gallon, with state taxes piling on top of everything else.

This is not Trump bullying small business. This is Trump asking the companies holding the lever why the logic only runs in one direction.

Lower oil should mean lower gas, with the same speed it took to raise it.

KOMO POLL: 94% of respondents said they would vote to repeal the Democrats' so-called "Millionaire Tax," likely because they know it is an income tax that will eventually be on every Washingtonian

[Jeff Prime @jeffprimed]

@DougieCUSA @N76247476Man You fail to realize they are pricing the gas they have for the cost to REPLACE it at the higher price. It’s called hedging.

[Jeff Prime @jeffprimed]

@ChrisMartzWX Excellent perspective in the post. WHY don't the climate alarmists who are also "scientists" come on here and refute your receipts? You're not blocking them are you? Perhaps they don't want to litigate their views on social media? Who knows?

Washington is skipping America's 250th birthday celebration because Olympia says it's too expensive. Meanwhile the state is shoveling money at deportation lawyers and DEI conferences without blinking. Does this embarrass you as much as it embarrasses us?

[SaltyGoat @SaltyGoat17]

Nothing screams TRUE SOCIALIST like:

-A millionaire who owns 3 homes
-Arriving in a huge SUV
-To his private jet
-To fly out and give a paid speech
-On the evils of capitalism and fossil fuels

Am I right?

[Jeff Prime @jeffprimed]

@Sir_Charles_01 @garyboomer58 I think you and I are in agreement much more than both of us thought.

[Jeff Prime @jeffprimed]

@Sir_Charles_01 @garyboomer58 What would you replace the revenue with?

[Brian Ralston @brianralston]

This is exactly the ACA plan and how the law was designed. They purposely kicked the price increases years down the road for someone in the future to deal with. And now it is exposed. What Nancy Pelosi and Obama and that crew passed in the dead of night, the “you have to pass it to know what is in it” bill DESIGNED ALL OF THIS and they had the unmitigated gall to name it the Affordable Care Act. If the point of your post is to lay blame, lay it properly at the feed of the people who designed the ACA this way to kick in years later.

The covid subsidy was an unforseen, temporary ACA subsidy due to the pandemic. The pandemic is now over. It was not meant to be permanent and the Affordable Care Act is now exposed as being the pile of manure Republican’s once warned about. Remember…NOT ONE Republican voted for it.

Does Health insurance need to be fixed. Oh good god yes. But the way to donit is to allow the markets to compete. Open health insurance to compete across state lines. Create transparency in pricing. Address fraud harshly. Reform medical malpractice laws. Give consumers choices.

@mitchellvii But except for her being a tub, you must agree, at 80 her plastic surgeons have done a great job...

[Jeff Prime @jeffprimed]

No. You said, "Property taxes, while often extreme, doesn't affect those who don't own their homes. There's a huge chunk of the population who doesn't pay property taxes who wouldn't get any advantage from ending it. I have every doubt landlords would lower rent or companies would pass the savings on to the employees or customers."

The first statement you made really sticks out: Doesn't affect those who don't own their homes?

I do not rent my paid-for home out to anyone. But if I did, don't think I wouldn't have to raise the rent over the last few years, since my property tax went from about $7,800 a year to OVER $12,000 (in just 4 years)! I am on a fixed income. You bet your ass I would raise the rent!

Big financial organizations buying up real estate is another topic- one we could likely agree upon.
