The cost per barrel is the cost for the crude, with freight being the obligation of the buyer. I’ve wondered the same thing… we’ve had gas prices this high before, but the per barrel price for oil was much higher. I wonder if the cost to transport, refine, transport, market and dispense the fuel has increased since those Bush/obama years? I don’t know.

Oh, I’m aware. You can brag about it, but if somebody else points it out, it’s a problem.

Not when you’re trying to defend your own. Some people would argue that killing animals is murder-not me.

If marriage is a sacred union between one man and one woman, let’s outlaw divorces. If someone has been divorced and remarried, they’re just as biblically wrong as if they’d married another dude…. And should NEVER speak on someone else’s right to marry since they broke their own vows and have dishonored themselves and God. It’s adultery.

Exactly one time more than y’all respond with inaccurate information. Quite simply put, it doesn’t matter if all it took to vote before was your photo ID. It will be inadequate if the Save Act becomes law and your registration must be renewed. And saying “so what? At least it will stop illegals from voting” isn’t true… they aren’t voting now. I’ve proven that to anyone who can fog a mirror.

If they pass the save act, and you have to re-register for any reason, you won’t be able to vote without proving citizenship to the voter registrar no later than 30 days before Election Day. Maybe you move. Maybe they change your voting precinct. Maybe you get married and take your husband’s last name with a hyphen. Maybe you’re a college kid who wants to register to vote where he now lives, but his birth certificate is back home in the state where he grew up. Maybe the president says “we all need to re-register”-this being the more likely outcome, but directed only towards political affiliation or location. As in, “Oh, there was cheating in Fulton County, Georgia like no one has ever seen. Not in nice places like the ones where you all live, but in disgusting places like Atlanta, or Phoenix? Those people will definitely be forced to reregister before voting in November.” Fun stuff like that happens when you have a wanna be dictator who’s constantly in conflict with reality. Either way, it’s not a big deal unless you need to register. The thing is this. There was no cheating in 2016. Horrible cheating in 2020. No problems with the election returns in 2024. But now that the Republicans are on the ropes and losses are almost guaranteed this fall, the rs have to do something to keep as many people as they can from voting. Illegals voting in our elections doesn’t happen. It’s just more of Trump peddling lies to the more unfortunately witted amongst us, which they snap up like red trucker hats.

He didn’t have much to complain about when Biden was in office, I guess. 😂🤣😂

And it’s crazy to look at those old posts and see who all isn’t coming here anymore.

Two things… if Biden caused them in ‘22, then Trump is causing them in 2025. They’re either responsible or not. In 2020 the pandemic shuttered the economy and demand for fuel dropped, so did the prices. By 2022, the massive federal dumping of cash into the economy created demand as the economy roared back to life… prices rose as fuel became more scarce. Fuel prices were good, but the war in Iran has destabilized supply and driven prices upwards. Sometimes there’s more credit and blame passed around than there ought to be. For reference, the Keystone pipeline was designed to move 830,000 barrels of oil per day down from Canada. The shutdown of Hormuz is stopping 20 million barrels of oil per day from leaving the Middle East. Prices weren’t high because Biden canceled the Keystone pipeline.

No, you won’t, my man. Go find out the hard way. There’s always that one guy who knows it all and refuses to listen. And those guys end up crying the loudest when the consequences of their own deliberate ignorance of the facts come back around. Have fun with that.

Brother… I just ask for consistency. I’m opposed to murder. I believe that abortion is immoral and wrong, and I believe that capital punishment is immoral, too. I believe that the only acceptable reason to take a human life is in defense of one’s own. But it’s a little disingenuous to be opposed to murder in one situation but support it in the other. Kinda like when someone says that marriage is between one and one woman, but have a couple of divorces in their past. I guess that they meant one woman and one man at a time.

We already know that illegals aren’t voting in our elections. It’s been proven to just be another Trump election lie. 33 POTENTIAL incidents out of 11.3 million here in Texas. That’s nothing. So why change it up? It’s been 150+ years and the same group of people (older white males) are still trying to keep as many people as they can from voting. Nothing’s changed.

Every time you hear about somebody trying to stop people from voting, it’s a Republican. Republicans are a dying breed. They need to “Make America Great Again.” Like pre-1964, before the Civil Rights Act. How about a little more separate but equal… is that what they mean by Great Again? Maybe they’re talking pre-suffrage, when women were finally allowed to vote? Or would yall prefer to go back to pre-civil war days? How far back until we’re “Great Again.” Republicans want to go back to ways of thinking that were exclusionary, biased, and wrong. They miss the days when they oppressed everybody, but those hateful days are thankfully over and we’re never going back. Too much progress has been made, and the correct movement is correctly named progressive.

Murder is murder, bro. And the Bible also says you’re supposed to turn your cheek 70 times 7.

So if you aren’t allowed to vote, you’re cool with that?
