Why the US wants to seize Iran’s Kharg Island! This is where the terminals are for Iran’s exports. China is the main user of Iranian oil. This is also the economic lifeline for the IRGC. If we take this, this will effectively cut off their lifeline, their ability to conduct war. I have heard that we basically eliminated all of Iran’s ability to protect this island. So, it appears it’s only a matter of time before we control it.

Whatever his objectives are. Just like what he did with Maduro, get him and get out. Just like he did with Soleimani. That’s his style. Like he said with this, I’ll know when it’s done. Trump is not Bush!!

Tell us what a mid-term flip will do? Please give some valuable insight. What policies are you hoping the dems can come up with?

Get what accomplished?

Many moons……you read my post. Lmao.

I think you about covered it all NDN but you’re not suppose to criticize the orange messiah on this forum without backlash from the orange seals.

I'll take history as my thoughts on this situation.. we've been hearing this for many moons now.. "days away" yada yada yada Only difference now is your hero made the move so you trust it.. keep trusting government man 👍🏾

I don’t hate Trump , I’ve just grown weary of his bad hires, not enough firings and zero accountability from our corrupt government and his narcissistic attitude. One thing I do know is Trump Loves Trump!

Democrats didn’t have a problem cramming it down our throats when they had the Trifecta in DC! Republicans are weak and feckless!

People actually think Trump would start a war for a distraction. Where do we get these people?

I screen shot one of your posts many moons ago. Every time I see you post, I just pull it up. It’s about as informative. Don’t unblock me. The mid-terms usually flip. Why would anyone cry? Lmao

Or, or, you could give us your thoughts on it!

I see the bullpen blew another conference game!

Another bad loss!! 3-1 Pokes take opener.

He'll get back with you when he finds a nut on X he agrees with... all a distraction from the failed administration! Midterms looking mighty good for the left. If the right loses house/senate its going to be funny watching the right cry when they caused it upon themselves! I may even unblock a few posters on here so I can watch the meltdown waaaaa

And I believe Trump had oil at $50 in January. It’ll come back down. As Trump said, this is a small diversion.

Google: Crude oil prices peaked at an all-time high of nearly $140−$147 per barrel in July 2008 during the George W. Bush administration due to high demand and stagnant production. Prices later rose again during the Obama administration, driven by global recovery and speculative trading, sparking intense political debate over energy policies. The American Presidency Project +3 George W. Bush Era Oil Prices Price Spike: Oil prices rose steadily throughout Bush’s presidency, reaching record highs near $147 per barrel in July 2008. Causes: The 2007–08 price spike was primarily driven by strong global demand, particularly from developing nations, against stagnant world production. End of Term: As the 2008 financial crisis worsened, oil prices collapsed, with gasoline dropping to $1.85 per gallon by the time Obama took office in January 2009. The Century Foundation +3 Obama Era Oil Prices Rising Prices: Gas prices rose during the Obama administration, setting records for February 2012, which opponents blamed on insufficient domestic drilling policies. Response: In 2011, President Obama authorized the release of 30 million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) to counter supply disruptions. Market Factors: Proponents argued that high prices were due to global factors beyond presidential control, while critics pointed to reduced drilling on federal lands early in his term. Policy Shift: While initially opposing increased conventional drilling, the Obama administration oversaw the development of new extraction techniques and later lifted the ban on crude oil exports in his second term. Cato Institute +4 Key Takeaways Common Drivers: Both administrations faced high prices largely driven by global supply and demand imbalances, though political arguments differed on how much a president influences these prices. Political Debate: Bush's high prices were criticized for inaction, while Obama faced criticism that his policies were not sufficiently boosting domestic supply

Google: As of March 2026, the Trump administration has temporarily eased certain sanctions on Russian oil shipments, specifically authorizing purchases for oil already at sea until April 11th to combat high global energy prices caused by the ongoing war in Iran . The move, described as a "narrowly tailored, short-term measure" by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, aims to lower oil prices but has been criticized as a potential economic boost to Russia's war efforts. NBC News +3 Key Details on the 2026 Policy Shift: Targeted Relief: The authorization specifically allows for the sale of Russian oil currently in transit, not a complete removal of all sanctions. Economic Context: The measure was taken amidst rising energy prices, which surged over $100 a barrel following disruptions in the Middle East. Controversy and Criticism: Critics and allies have argued that this action provides a financial windfall for the Kremlin's efforts in Ukraine. Previous Actions: In a different context in 2018, the administration also eased sanctions against companies linked to Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska

409 take over tomorrow!

Looks like we need the 2 Beaumont teams to finish it off for East and SE Texas

I disagree about taking for granted. You don't do that in a state title game. At least not teams that are well coached. Paradise dictated the pace the entire game. Made Westwood play their style which Westwood simply isn't good at. Paradise outscored Westwood in the paint 40-14. Westwood never adjusted to that situation.

There is no explanation I can think of. From my understanding Russia has been providing satellite images to Iran to assist with strikes against Isreal and the US. How does lifting oil sanctions on Russia help the US?

Oh, I thought you were gonna tell me!

I do see a Valley +9 who won by 20🫣

I don't get it. He may not even know why.
