DUmmies all of a sudden care about oil prices

It is Brent Crude that hit $100, which is ONLY oil that derives from the North Sea. Crude Oil is indeed at 92+/- at the moment. Jeez people, oil and stock prices fluctuate constantly, most of which has ZERO to do with political issues. The broader stock market is down today mostly because of AI concerns. There is still 4 1/2 hours left in the trading day, so no one knows what is going to happen or how it might transpire by the close.

Inflation: We've chastised President Obama many times for failing to live up to promises he made when running for the office. So in fairness, we want to credit him for fulfilling one of them: his pledge to raise energy costs.

In early 2008, candidate Obama told the San Francisco Chronicle that "under my plan ... electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket."

Obama was referring to his plan to cap greenhouse-gas emissions, which would, among other things, effectively choke off coal as an energy source. He was just as fond of high gasoline prices, telling CNBC in June 2008 — as gas prices shot up to $4 a gallon — that he "would have preferred a gradual adjustment."

Six years later, and Obama has succeeded.

Only Obama wasn't operating to keep an intractable death cult from acquiring nuclear weapons. He was doing it in service to companies like Solandra (SP?).

To be honest, if Iran did acquire a nuke, they would likely use it on some high-value target like NY and at this point, I don't care. My biggest regret wouldn't be the Mamdani-voting NYers killed, it'd be the innocent Iranians killed in the retaliatory strikes.

Umm, just saw on Fox Business that Crude Oil is up about five bucks to $92/barrel. The NY Slimes furiously sent out an e-mail that it hit $100, but that shit ain't true. (Didn't see Brent Crude's price, so that could be what they were referring to).

What in Hades is Her Repetitive Redundancy yammering on about? It's Trump's FBI and DOJ that has exposed fraudulent voters, states' refusing to maintain their voter rolls, and exposed Chinese interference (e.g. fraudulent drivers licenses) in US elections.

Has mal's rum-laced :stoner: taken her to some sort of perpendicular universe?

  • Mal is, as the Dim'Rat politicians and MSM propaganda organs intended, confusing the federal Election Assistance Commission - an agency established to hand out federal money for get out the vote campaigns (and who's benevolence went almost EXCLUSIVELY to leftist organizations) for which the President received USSC approval to fire the leftist commissioners there on - for an Agency that "oversees election integrity"
  • Having successfully conflated the agency's mission objectives in mal's rum-soaked mind, mal is - as the Dim'Rat politicians and MSM propaganda organs intended - now castigating the President for his "hypocrisy" vis-a-vis railing on about election integrity while simultaneously disbanding the "organization established to promote election integrity".

As usual it's a Gotcha-TRUMP with no "gotcha" at it's core. Standard DUmp'Rat fare...  :whatever: :popcorn:

Democrats Fight Over Whether Blacks or Latinos Should Have More Power in Presidential Nomination

For the 2028 primary season, the Democrats are having an internal battle over the first-in-the-nation status, and it has devolved into some nasty racial politics, because of course it has. This is what Democratic Party voters live, breathe, and fight about, because the only way to overcome racism is to think about race every second of the day, and have nightmares about microaggressions at night.

South Carolina and Nevada have emerged as the two front-runners to begin the 2028 Democratic presidential nominating calendar, but their jockeying has grown acrimonious and pitted Black and Latino party leaders against each other, according to interviews with more than a dozen party officials involved in the discussions.

A powerful panel of 49 insiders of the Democratic National Committee is set to meet this week in Washington to sketch out the order of the early-state calendar. The full party body would then vote next month to finalize the choices.
...
“It’s almost like we’re running against Nevada,” Christale Spain, the chair of the South Carolina Democratic Party, said in an interview. “That’s what it feels like.”

“If Nevada gets elevated over South Carolina, it would be because of their Latino vote,” added Ms. Spain, who is Black. “So you would then be telling Black voters that you matter less than brown voters. And I refuse to believe that our party wants to send any type of message like that.”

The vulnerability of being a coalition of special interests is when you have groups who see each other as competition for and fight over goodies and privileges.

FBI Misled Court To Spy on Second Trump Campaign Adviser

Carter Page wasn’t the only adviser from Trump’s first campaign wiretapped by the FBI. Walid Phares was electronically monitored for a 12-month period between 2017 and 2018, according to the Washington-based FBI agent who was assigned to investigate him as part of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia collusion probe.

As in Page’s case, the bureau withheld evidence exonerating Phares from the court to secure surveillance authorization, according to newly declassified FBI documents.

“I had no idea any of this was happening,” Phares told RealClearInvestigations in an exclusive interview Wednesday night. “This is shocking because they told my lawyer that I was only a ‘witness’ and that they just needed some information.”

“But these were huge abuses that I can see now,” he added. Phares said he intends to sue the FBI and Justice Department for damages.

The 68-year-old Lebanese-American scholar said case agents and prosecutors grilled him for months, questioned his employer, and even went after his bank records. As a result, he said he lost his job at a university, his livelihood, and even his bank accounts and credit card after Wells Fargo cancelled them.

“It was like a disaster for me financially and physically,” he said. “I also lost my Fox News contract” as an expert on terrorism and the Middle East, which he had held since 2007.

Phares was not hired by the Trump administration, even though he had been expected to land a high-level foreign policy position. “They scared the agencies from me so I would have problems with (obtaining) a security clearance,” he said.
