You didn’t have to settle for Trump or Kamala.  You had Desantis and others whom baby trump would not even debate.   You chose an elderly con man who ran on a con job.

This.

I understand. This will be a long post, so don’t read if you wish. I’ll try to explain my thoughts.

To answer your gas questions, this was my business for decades. Gas is a commodity that fluctuates with the seasons & barrel pricing. While Brent & WTI are low right now, Spring seasonal blends (required for environmental regulations) add significant cost. I wouldn’t expect prices to come down a lot until late summer if the barrel price remains low.

Mudbugs are expensive everywhere this year. Plus, core season isn’t until Mid May. You’ll pay more the earlier you buy.

Now, to the core with some background.

I grew up on a farm in far north Texas. We were literally poor as the dirt we farmed & went bankrupt due to a bad season & weather. My dad was able to get on at the local DuPont La Porte plant starting out bagging 100 lb bags and paid back all of our debts. I learned to be frugal at an early age. My wife & I have always lived well below our means. I shop for basics at Aldi as I find them much cheaper than anyone else. Other groceries I typically buy at Kroger using digital or regular coupons. If it’s not on sale—or I don’t have a coupon—I don’t buy it. We only eat out 1 or 2x a month. Then, it’s usually Chilis, or Subway, or our local Texmex. Sometimes, Popeyes—if I have a coupon. I use my Veteran discount everywhere that allows.

My wife’s disease is untreatable & incurable. It is a Parkinson’s Plus disease (CBD/PSP) which has a life expectancy of 7 years. We’ve beaten that already by almost a year. Every day is a blessing. I’m sure you know what I mean & Im sorry for your cancer. Wishing you the best! What I don’t want is to lose her prematurely because of a side effect that we can’t get medical care to address.

For the first time, I didn’t vote. So, I won’t slam. But, I can critique with—what I try to be fair—criticisms.

I wouldn’t have voted for Harris—period. Trump scared me with his stance on medical. But, I felt he would be better on immigration & the economy. Not a fan of tariffs, but I understand his goal. I wish the tax cuts being permanent had been first on his agenda. I’m good with immigration.

Basically, I’m okay for now with his performance. I haven’t seen a large spike in prices because of how I shop. The prices that are higher have been higher since the last administration and are because of ‘sticky prices.’ Once they go up, they rarely come back down to Pre-inflation levels.

We’ll see how it goes from here.

I will be fasten and praying for your wife’s complete healing.  Thank you for her testimony.  She is definitely beating all odds.  Aren’t you glad we know a man who can move a mountain, can feed a hundred and forty four thousand with fish and bread.  
But God!!! 😇

I guess you’re ASSUMING I voted for Trump in the primary? Trump got 76.42% of the primary vote. Haley only 19.68%. DeSantis just over 1.5%. 
 

Trump vs Kamala was the final choice. Everything else was a wasted vote. My vote counted and won by the way.

I have no problem with the way you voted. I just wish a Republican would have won.

Fair enough. Just be happy the Democrat didn’t.
