@SonnieJohnson Once those cuts in BBB take effect, I think the country will move even further left. Perfect storm, the social safety net being cut as economic realities turn for worse. Conservative voices will be silenced
If Trump doesn't ban oil exports, we're going to be hit with huge gas shortages & massive price hikes.
If he does ban oil exports, global oil prices will spike, resulting in a sell off of US Treasuries & higher interest rates.
Pick your poison.
you should not be rooting for your own country if its an evil invading force. you should want america to fail and lose the war with iran, its the moral choice
Jesus' harshest words in the gospels were not towards different religions or
undocumented immigrants.
Jesus' harshest words were towards the rich and religious who used God's words to justify exploitation and oppression.
Yet so many want us to believe the opposite.

Bill Maher to MAGA: I know you don't like it when I call you names, and you're not that bright. But when it comes to Trump, you're not that bright. It is a cult. How many times can the con man run the same con?
The Saudis’ East-West pipeline sustained catastrophic damage in 8 different parts. The damage is so severe that it may take months, if not years, to repair and recommence after the wars are over.
That’s another 7 million barrels of oil daily that is offline. Experts say oil can easily reach $150 - $200 per barrel before the Midterms. That translates to $6 - $8 per gallon. And $8 - $12 for diesel.
ABC: Saudi Arabia was forced to shut down a key oil pipeline after multiple attacks. Meanwhile, Iran-backed Houthis marched to take control of Yemen's entire Red Sea coast, and are threatening a second critical waterway.
When the Mississippi River broke its levees in 1927, thirteen thousand Black refugees were stranded on a strip of high ground at Greenville — and the National Guard would not let them leave.
Boats came. Boats left. The boats were for white families.
The Great Mississippi Flood covered an area the size of several states. In Greenville, Black flood victims were held in the open on the crown of the levee — a strip only a few feet wide in places — for weeks.
They were kept there deliberately. Planters feared that if Black labor evacuated, it would never come back to the cotton fields.
So the Guard sealed them in. Refugees were made to unload relief supplies at gunpoint. Food was distributed to Black families only in exchange for work, and in some camps only to those wearing labor tags.
A man was shot dead by a guardsman for refusing to work.
Herbert Hoover, running the relief effort and running for president, learned about the conditions. A Black commission he appointed documented them. He promised reforms — including land for Black farmers — in exchange for keeping it quiet through the election.
He won. The promises were never kept.
The Black South drew its own conclusion. The flood accelerated the Great Migration: hundreds of thousands left, and Black voters began the long shift away from the party of Lincoln that reshaped American politics.
They dammed the water and dammed the people behind it. One of the largest forced-labor episodes of the American twentieth century, and it has no memorial.
This is why we must keep documenting our stories that they try to erase. Get yours: https://t.co/V6OJtazidd
While you never got that $2,000 tariff refund check that Trump promised, here’s who did:
Walmart: $2.9 billion
Apple: $2.2 billion
Nike: $986 million
Amazon: $600 million
GM: $500 million
UPS: $500 million
The Trump Administration: Of, by, and for the billionaire class.
Palestinian American novelist Susan Abulhawa responds to Marc Lamont Hill after he mentions the argument from some Black Americans that Palestinians “don’t like us anyway” to explain their lack of solidarity with Palestinians facing genocide in Gaza.
Banks got bailed out in 2008 for making bad bets with your money, but when you miss a payment, they destroy your credit for seven years. Consequences are for the poor. Welfare is for the rich. The double standard is the foundation of the economy.
BREAKING: The US has proposed cancelling the new "Operation Economic Outcast," lifting all sanctions, and ending the US blockade in exchange for Iran opening the Strait of Hormuz and stopping all attacks by its proxies, per Al Arabiya citing a senior source on a new separate offer conveyed by Pakistan.
Iran's conditions, however, remain unchanged: $300 billion in US compensation, complete lifting of all US sanctions, release of all Iranian frozen assets ($100-123 billion), end of the US naval blockade, US troop withdrawal from the entire region, and a comprehensive regional ceasefire including in Lebanon and Gaza.
FOX NEWS FINALLY DUMPS TRUMP’S HORMUZ OIL LIES
Even the network that normally functions as Trump’s personal propaganda machine has been forced to abandon the Strait of Hormuz oil narrative. The facts on the ground and at the pump have become too brutal to spin any longer without looking completely ridiculous.
THE FOX SURRENDER
➡️ Fox anchors are now openly admitting gasoline prices are “really bad.”
➡️ One host tried the usual happy talk while the other simply could not pretend anymore.
➡️ When even loyal media starts walking away from the story, the underlying reality has become undeniable.
THE GAS PRICE REALITY
➡️ The national average has never been above $4 a gallon this late in the calendar year in any previous year on record.
➡️ Prices have nearly doubled since the conflict began.
➡️ The chart now looks almost identical to the peak pandemic shutdown levels — except this time it is a deliberate policy choice.
THE HORMUZ FANTASY
➡️ Trump claims “we have total control over the Strait of Hormuz” and that “we will keep it.”
➡️ He calls the naval presence a “wall of steel” that no one else has ever described that way.
➡️ He insists Iran has no navy, no air force, unpaid soldiers, a decimated IRGC, and is “all talk and no action.”
➡️ Reality keeps answering with higher oil prices and continued disruption.
THE HIDDEN LOSSES
➡️ Forty-five MQ-9 Reaper drones have already been lost — roughly a quarter of the entire fleet.
➡️ Each costs between $30 million and $50 million. Total so far: about $1.3 billion.
➡️ These losses went almost entirely unreported while the public was fed the control narrative.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Fox News is not abandoning the Hormuz story out of principle. They are abandoning it because continuing the lie would make them look like clowns when drivers see the real numbers at the pump every single day.
This is what it looks like when propaganda runs out of runway.
