From the CIA’s own report showing once again Trump is a pathological liar.

and “You can keep your Doctor”, “you can keep your health plan”, “the vaccine will prevent you from getting the virus”, “6 feet separation will protect you”, “the virus did not come from China” were just ????

What’s that have to do with an illegal war?

He’s saying, the democrats lie. It’s all they know how to govern.


Is this the same CIA that concluded Trump was all about colluding with Russia for votes (despite everything Trump campaigned on, was detrimental to Russia), declared the “pee tapes” were real, and pushed Congress to impeach Trump with fake charges?


Also, Huffpost? Really? How does 7 slobbering anti-American women have ANY access to classified CIA reports, docs, or analysis? By way of “unnamed” sources who are “familiar” with the assessment? Did they notice extra meal drop offs by Door Dash at Langley, and concluded that Iran can withstand the blockade…even though they cannot sell or deliver their #1 source of income?


You gotta do better than think the Huffpost has ANY clue about reality.

These prices are not accurate as of today; theyre 30 cents more than stated. We can thank the Golden statue building, ball room freak; pedophile, accused rapist of 29 women and convicted rapist, and felon on 30 counts President Trump and all his Pedophile enabling supporters for this literal gas hike regardless of OPEC and Russia. Nice job guys, we have the Real AntiChrist Golden Cow president. Just like the Bible, and we defend Zionism. Nice. End times near.

Gas was $5.32 average in 2023, from the DELIBERATE attack by the Biden admin on oil production and refining. This ONLY resulted in the higher cost of goods and services for Americans.


Trump, has taken on the most ruthless muslim terrorist organization on the planet. While oil prices have gone up, it is the result of speculation, not availability. When full victory has been proclaimed, this will ONLY result in a safer world.

Today I spent $96 for a tank of gas, WTH. I got the gas at my usual gas station (not a Chevron) and their per gallon price is definitely not the most expensive in our county, so YIKES! Something needs to change.

I don’t like it either, but we’re always the highest. It’s the regulatory and tax structure in California. It’s been a problem for decades and current leadership is trying to deflect attention away from that as 2028 draws near…

We’re always getting screwed here:

I believe other states are still lower now than we were before the operation against Iran kicked off. And as an OEF veteran on ground in Afghanistan 2009-2010, I support finally hitting these SOBs. And I’m still serving, so I have potential skin in the game. As I said, I don’t enjoy paying as much as I did today, but I know with whom the blame really lies here in the DPRC. Direct your ire northward to Sacramento.

Pray for the midterms and kick these Antichrist pedophelic freaks to the curb.
