There's no if. He is back and will be the QB.

I thought we were energy independent when it came to oil? No doubt he’s saying it to make people’s ears feel good just thought it was interesting for him to say it out loud.

THIS!!!!! Well said.

If Javier (who got the start tonight) can do well the remaining of the season, then this can be a good trade.

He definitely was struggling of late but I think his injury (which is why he is currently on IL) played a part in his struggle. He struggled with control the last few starts but still had better ERA than several on the staff. At best I think this was a push. I just think we needed an arm more than we needed a bat.

I've explained this over and over again until I'm blue in the face. All politicians--regardless of Party--blame Big Oil when something they do causes prices to rise. Oil is a global commodity. If Administrations hadn't invoked policies that made it difficult to build/revamp refineries to process our own product, we wouldn't be quite so dependent on foreign supply. Trump is taking the easy way out. Just like all the rest. Blame someone else for your own screw-ups. Project reinvestments are typically done on a 10 year payout. The 10 year average profit margin for XOM & CVX is right at 6%. Hardly a profit large enough to make major investments in new technology. They don't set the price of oil, nor the price at the majority of the pumps. I guess everyone's a free market capitalist--until they're not. No wonder socialism and communism are gaining traction. Now, we're deciding how much profit is too much. Sounds suspiciously like the Democratic Socialists like AOC, Mamdani, & the Bernie Bro's to me.

I ran them through Grok on X they are correct. Would you like me to post that also? Actually grok says some of the numbers are just a little higher. Yes, the numbers are largely correct (or very close) based on year-to-date (YTD) percentage changes reported by Trading Economics as of around August 1–3, 2026. tradingeconomics.com

Pretty sure everyone on this forum wants America to be Great, Trump’s just not doing it. Trump Disappointment Syndrome is what it’s called at this point.
