    The sad reality of the instant info generation is a short memory. With midterms looming is there any chance of surviving four dollar gas? Or will we be mired in two years of absolutely nothing being accomplished?

    I just filled my truck tonite, it was $1.90 a litre= $7.60 a gallon:(

    I lugged soil all day and made $3000 in 12 hrs (no one in Canada wants to do manual labour) so I can afford to fill my GMC truck for $220.00. But the poor folks that make under $20 an hr cannot.
    Your President can fix the problem easily, show this piece of crap (Supreme Leader) who is the boss. Give Him 24 hrs to open the Strait or else.....
    Starting with a land invasion of Iran, Kharg Is., then securing the entire W. coastal regions, then landing special forces inside Iran to eliminate most IRGC heads, the Supreme Leader and his mullahs. There can be NO negotiations, also tell Putin and Xi, that any supplies they send will be shot down in flames.:D
    Hopefully, Melania can knock some sense into his thick skull concerning Putin, he is still in love with that SOB.

    That all sounds good but he only has the support of half this nation. And the half that doesn't support him simply because it is reflex action for them. And these are the educated among us. Tell me if that doesn’t scare the pants off of you…… And I may be wrong but I believe the war powers act kicks in after sixty days of conflict which I believe we are nearing. That means it becomes a congressional act and expecting that to happen in this insane political climate we live in is slim to none.

    toughcoins Rarely is the liberal viewpoint tainted by realism

    Remember, MD . . . no matter what they majored in, today's grads only got half of a political education. most of today's sheepskins misrepresent the education we think we're bringing on board when we hire one of these activists.

    Actually, most university educated people are illiterate, most could not even name 10 African Countries! I only went to highschool, I can name 65, and I know every capital, can name all the Roman Emperors........and I make way more $$$$ then 95 % of university grads;) And I know that Putin is a monster, and that Chairman Mao killed more people then even Stalin, most lefties idolize Lenin, Marx, Che Guevera, Trostsky, Castroo_O

    Why invade Karg Island? Wouldn't mining the sea lanes into the facility effectively shut the facility down?

    Truth be told the actual sadness is your situation and that you wish to impute falsehoods on others. So sad. What is wrong with instant info? Better than being uniformed. Whenever.
    You got what you voted for. Enjoy your lunch.

    You sadly misunderstand. Yes I am conservative, however I vote for the best man/woman for the job and have voted Democrat more than once in my life. I strongly reject a party that has grown to only support the fringe that has no agenda other than to tear down a nation that I defended and love. And that is what the modern iteration of the democrat party has become.

    No taking it will give US control of 99% of the oil resources. They (US) have to demine the Strait, then secure the entire coastline with airpower. So that if they (IRGC) decide to play rough they will die. Also US must blockade the Caspian Sea too, in case that dirtbag Putin arms the IRGC.

    I misunderstand very little. Nothing sad here. It is your lard turd who is disrespecting every norm and our very constitution it self to grift personal wealth from every transaction. No matter the cost or damage to anyone or the world in general if he can net some cents he'd trash millions. He brings new definitions to 'waste'. Way too much koolaid in your blood stream.

    I am very conservative, but I am fair in my opinions. I like my Liberal PM here in Canada, since he is a breath of fresh air, compared to that dingbat Justin Trudeau now in cahoots with Katy Perry. Carney knows Putin is a scumbag, also wants to build pipelines, diversify trade with the world, result of unfair Trump tariffs. I voted for Polievre.

    If Trump wants to rebound in midterms he will need to......

    Finish War in Iran with boots on the ground, regime elimination

    Stop his love affair with Putin and the Kremlin terrorist regime. Do the right thing give Zelenskyy tomahawks.

    Now off to work.......
