  4. Not surprising..... There would of been absolutely nothing he could of done that you would approved of. That's OK though - no money from US is being given to them, and if they don't live up to agreement, we have option to go back to bombing......

  7. Issue the U.S. has--I may/may not have mentioned previously--is that most of our refineries are set up to process heavy, sour crude. We haven't made the investments to be able to process our own WTI. That should be a priority, and would be a good use of incentive funding for national security purposes. Just get us to at least a 60/40 spit.

    The deal might as well be written on toilet paper because they will violate it you can bank on it. As for as bombing them that might trigger them closing off the strait again but as you’ve said other countries are looking for other alternatives for their oil but it would still hurt the global economy imo. We should have been all in from the beginning to take out the oppressive regime and secure the uranium or not go in at all imo. Trump ran his piehole too much and Iran called his bluff. What a mess.

  16. I'd expect the lower cost States (OK & TX) to be able to run around the $2.79-$2.99ish area as an average, except in the really rural areas where supply is a little more difficult to reach. Other States should run around the $3.29-$3.79ish range (outside of CA, HI, and AK). As mentioned previously, every drop of $10/bbl equates to approximately $.25/gal for gasoline. The National average should get back down to around $3.20-$3.50/gal. But, thats more due to the taxes charged by the majority of States, and the 3 outlier States that bump up the average. There may be some ups and downs along the way, but that's where the consistent average should fall out for the next 6 months to a year. A lot of people who deliver part-time for DoorDash, Uber, Lyft, Instacart, Grubhub, and others probably aren't aware, if you itemize and receive a 1099-NEC, or 1099-K as an independent contractor, you can claim vehicle expenses--including gas taxes. Incidentally, you can also write off phone/data expenses according to how much you use it for your 'gig job.' Check with your tax professional to make sure you're getting any benefits allowable under your State and/or Federal tax laws. Even though the standard Federal deduction has been raised significantly, some people who deliver part time may want to do a comparison on if it's better for them to itemize based on all the deductions they can claim as an independent delivery driver for one of the delivery services. Don't just automatically assume the standard deduction is the best every year. (I used to always save gas receipts for my boats, and write off the taxes. Boats obviously don't use the roads, so you can claim the deduction on State gas taxes in Texas.)

    Iran War Update

    Google: Controversy: Following the 2020 U.S. presidential election, the site published several articles promoting election fraud claims involving Dominion Voting Systems. This led to a defamation lawsuit, which resulted in the publication issuing a retraction acknowledging they relied on discredited sources. [1] You are funny. 🤣

  24. What's actually comical? I haven't heard a peep about the Paris Climate Agreement, Greta Thornberg, or the dreaded Climate Change. Seems everyone is too busy scrambling for oil. The Paris Climate Agreement appears to be about as solid as this MOU between Iran & the U.S.

  26. I agree. Good luck to all teams, coaching staffs and communities this upcoming season. Praying that all players will have great attitudes, exhibit the best sportsmanship possible and avoid major injuries. At the end of the day, it's just football. As for Babin, good luck to the kid wherever he plays (or does not play) at.

    You won’t find any argument from me. But, this was a forgone conclusion as soon as the ceasefire was called. It’s been written on the wall since.

  31. I agree with this statement and have been saying this for many years. The UIL has no idea what is about to him them in the next 5-10 years. Not everyone is playing by the same set of rules. At some point we have to stop with the non-sense about controlling where we send our kids to school and whether or not its for "athletic purposes". Well NO JOKE every single transfer in the history of transfers is for athletic purposes so they can learn to adapt or get left behind as more options become available. I too believe you will start to see committed seniors opt out of their UIL ISD senior year and take the road that better suits their career path.

  36. I was employed by a company who had interest in fracking and exploration. It was a double edged sword for employees. Since we all had to gas up our vehicles every week, we enjoyed a lower price at the pump just like everyone else. But to stay employed and keep our business profitable, the crude oil prices needed to be elevated to stimulate exploration, so that meant paying a bit more at the pump. Some people simply don’t realize how expensive it is to find and retrieve new oil.

    I knew we scored too many runs against Alabama. Georgia played just well enough to win, and that’s what counts. Longhorns had opportunities and didn’t produce.

    He’s not wrong but he fails to mention the Republicans spend over 2 trillion dollars above what the government takes in yearly. Trump is not a conservative despite what Reagan thinks. As I’ve said before republicans or democrats refuse to cut spending therefore adding to inflation which is a unlegislative tax. I know I sound like a broken record but no business or family can do what our government is doing and has been doing for decades. We’d go out of business and bankrupt if we did but the government just keeps printing more money. SMH

    Nope. Even if allowed—which the stock purchase contract may not allow in this case—you’d be selling short term. Meaning, you’d pay capital gains tax at your ‘normal’ tax rate. I’m assuming somewhere in the 20% effective tax rate range. Probably higher if you’re single with no dependents, and a decent banking job. That doesn’t count your buying fees. I don’t know your situation enough to know if you’d incur AMT. But, you’d take a loss. You need to sit on it and ride for at least one year to get it treated as a long-term capital gain, and get the lowest tax rate. Sorry to burst your bubble. You still bought a good, long-term investment. Just be prepared for a bumpy ride for a year or two until the first few reports come out, and serious investors can get a better handle on the numbers. The Starlink portion of the business is the profit-making side. Not the rockets. Right now, many are investing in the hype & Musk himself. If Musk were to suddenly not be in the picture, would you have bought the stock? I doubt if many investors would… That’s a scary proposition if you actually wanted to purchase more than just a few shares. The institutional buyers can dump a lot quicker than you can.

  44. Why don’t you ask Trumps influencers ( Kash Patel and Dan Bongino) who said they knew where the bodies were buried pertaining to the Epstein Files hypothetically speaking but once they got into the position to do anything they got amnesia. lol They were suppose to bust the Epstein Files wide open and get the perpetrators. Trump attacked the few Republicans who forced a vote on releasing the Epstein Files . Then he signed off on the Epstein Files Act. Why would you sign off on something he thought was a hoax? Why would you even care if everything got released? Because he didn’t want to embarrass himself and his friends? You can believe what you want just as I will.
