Nobody’s reading all that.

Well, I totally agree. If these turn out to be false, I think the women involved should have charges brought against them. It would stop all of these cases. If the pics were not consensual, there could be criminal charges, but of course not sexual assault.

My thoughts on this whole issue and in general...

Bad behavior does not equal sexual assault. Again, I’m kind of glad it is happening to him because of how he’s acted against Judge K and Trump…at the same time, as a male, we should not be convicted with unproven accusations. That me too crap hurt a lot of people with unproven allegations

I worked sub contractor work in the plants for 10 years. I picked up as much knowledge as I could but I can’t hang with OlDawg.

Well, Obama’s deal worked so good they were within a few weeks to a few years(depending on who you believe) from a nuclear weapon…… It is still America and the backbone of America is the constitution. Trump is acting within his limits and the SC continues to reenforce it.

I’m smart enough to know what I don't know and to recognize someone who has knowledge, so thank you, I am listening.

Well, he seems to like texts. Maybe he and Anthony Weiner were buds. Lmao From the article: Two reports published Friday allege that the politician forced himself on a onetime staffer, while other women described the congress member sending them photos of his penis and risque messages.

Google search: Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has signaled an openness to negotiating a "balanced and fair" deal with the United States to restore regional stability and address nuclear issues, despite the failure of recent 21-hour marathon talks to yield a breakthrough. The Media Line +1 Current Status of Negotiations (As of April 12, 2026) Failed Talks: High-level, direct negotiations between the U.S. (represented by Steve Witkoff) and Iran in Islamabad, Pakistan, ended without an agreement after 21 hours, with Vice President JD Vance citing a failure to make headway. Iran's Position: Pezeshkian expressed willingness for a deal that ensures "lasting peace and security," blaming U.S. "double standards" as the main obstacle. Key Sticking Points: Iran has refused to abandon uranium enrichment, calling it a sovereign right, while the U.S. demands a long-term halt to nuclear activities. Russian Involvement: Russian President Vladimir Putin has reportedly stepped in to offer mediation to broker peace. Facebook +2 Contextual Factors Escalating Pressure: The signals for diplomacy come alongside a severe worsening of Iran's strategic position, with U.S. and Israeli actions weakening regional proxies (Hezbollah and Hamas) and threatening to disrupt navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. Public Openness: Pezeshkian has used open letters and social media to appeal for a return to diplomacy, aiming to de-escalate following weeks of intense military confrontation. Leadership Vacuum: Following the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in late February 2026, Pezeshkian has taken a lead role in trying to manage the conflict through diplomatic channels. PBS +5 Despite the deadlock, both sides have indicated a desire to keep communication channels open to avoid a completely open-ended, costly war.

You know, just last night I was watching the fights on Paramount and was genuinely impressed that the US has a President that’s a fight fan and goes to the shows. It made me slightly nostalgic for a time about six years ago when I didn’t despise Trump more than anyone who’s ever lived. I didn’t hear any boos, but the reception that he received didn’t seem to be anywhere near as boisterous as at previous times. What amazed me was that somebody cue’d up Sabbath’s “War Pigs” on the sound system. That guy is the real hero.

My thing is this… we had a nuclear treaty with Iran and Trump tore it up in 2018 because it was Obama’s, not Trump’s own. Fast forward to 2026, and things were rocking along smoothly enough, even after we bombed Iran’s nuclear “capabilities.” That wasn’t enough for President “I-Can-Destroy-Any-Country-That-I-Want.” Drunk on power from his illegal attack and ransacking of Venezuela, he made the stupid decision to launch an unprovoked attack on Iran, and now he can’t come up with a plan to extricate the US from the mess he’s made. Just today he announced that the US is going to blockade the Hormuz because it’s not fair for Iran to make money selling out to people that they like and not selling people that they (Iran) doesn’t like… as if we didn’t just steal all of those tankers of oil from Venezuela, demand that the world not sell oil to Cuba, etc. Trump is piece of crap who is in a situation that is so far beyond his capabilities, and the true comedy is that his fanboys think this all some big plan. If the world wants to pay Iran a toll to cruise by the Hormuz, and we don’t need the oil anyways according to Trump, what’s the big deal? The big deal is that the fat baby isn’t getting his way. He’s sitting in a dirty diaper and he ain’t happy. At last check he’s threading to murder another level of Iranian leadership because this new level isn’t giving in, either. In less than six months, Trump and MAGA has completely normalized the kidnapping and murder of the leaders of countries with whom we disagree. I can’t WAIT for the crying that starts when some little country sends a team over here to assassinate some of our politicians… especially since our politician (especially the Rs) seem to be so cool with the practice these days. This isn’t America anymore.

I ignore trolls for the most part.

@TheMissingBand just wants you to know he hates Trump no matter what. Lol

Yes. WTI—which is actually light, sweet crude—will remain slightly elevated against Brent simply because of access. It can’t elevate in price too much because it’s almost a byproduct for the U.S. We have more than enough light, sweet crude and our refineries are mainly set up to process heavy, sour. What many don’t understand is that it’s actually more expensive to refine the heavy, sour that we import. But, because of environmental policies through the recent decades, we don’t use as much oil as many think. Also, heavy, sour can be refined into multiple more products like diesel, asphalt, pharmas, and other petrochemical products whereas light, sweet is primarily only for gasoline, kerosene, jet fuel. It actually becomes more cost efficient to import heavy, sour and export the sweet. Plus, it’s a way of using our oil exports as diplomacy, and steadying the global market. WTI never really gets that much separation from Brent simply because global buyers know the U.S. has to pretty much just unload a lot of it because we can’t use it all. Hopefully, my comments are helping make more sense to some out of a hard to understand commodity market. If nothing else, y’all are learning more about the overall business. There’s a lot more to it than most know. They just see gas prices and hear the price of oil. They’re not getting a bigger overview.

I’m just curious, do you want Trump and our military to be successful in safely opening the strait?

Is crude will increase demand, but only temporary. Once the military operation reopens the strait and traffic starts flowing, the oil prices will drop. The spike is really not supply but fear. Once the strait is open, the fear will be gone.

This game won’t finish

Lost the 1st two games to the dodgers 8-7 and 6-3. Managed to win Sundays game 5-2. Four game series starting Monday with the A's. Season record: 8-7

Just curious… what do you expect this to do to the price of WTI?

Oh well 7 in a row🥵

This had nothing to do with Trump lol 16 year fatigue - economy in their country. I was actually a little shocked this was you. It sounded more like CardinalBacker.

Well he was in power for 16 years so there’s that. Lol Maybe Trump will get 8 more years after his 2nd term to make it 16 years as President. 😁

Yeah, you’re probably hoping they fall under communist rule again.
