Does this really come as a surprise? I've heard stories like this going back to the Bush administration. Politics isn't a part of life for the left; it's a pseudo-religion.

If you gave the bottom 300 million people in this country $3,000 each...?

You still would not have a trillion.

You would have $900 billion dollars.

I say that we give those 300 million Americans a check for 3,000 each and just tax one man.

Elon Musk would still have a $100 billion dollars left to play with, and would still be one of the richest men in the world.

It is so obscene.

The DUmpster / Re: I Told You The Price Of Crude Is Being Rigged

More "bad" gas price news is coming - or may be there - for gab13by13, :-) . This AM I drove by the gas station near me I've been using for several years. Its price for regular had been for a month or so, equal to the highest price under Biden. This morning it was $0.26 lower.

CT-BS aside, gas stations, refineries, and oil companies use FIFO accounting to set their prices. Current prices reflect the most recent delivery of oil/gasoline. The price drop I noticed this AM means crude oil and refinery gas prices are down. Outside of the Prog-BS-CT universe, this is likely due to the large amount of crude the USN has helped through the Strait or Hormuz and the pipelines that Gulf States have brought online that bypass the Strait.

Besides the immediate effect on oil prices, the tankers that brought out crude oil had been trapped in the Persian Gulf. However many tankers just rejoined the worldwide fleet of active tankers. The pipelines also won't be going away, loosening the Strait of Hormuz chokepoint for decades to come.

Just a note on gab13by13's DU OP, "WTI" means West Texas Intermediate. It's domestically produced crude oil, the crude oil to which LIEden tried to limit exploration and production access (2022-imposed sanctions against Russia were not the sole reason US gas prices soared in 2022 and 2023!).

ETA: I know restoring oil production in Venezuela will take years, but I wonder if enough repairs have been done to increase Venezuelan production some. If so, more "bad" news for which gab13by13 can blame Trump.

Since Platner is Dems' Aryan Great White Hope, is there any somewhat credible polling on how he compares to RINO Collins?

Always sketchy polling and small sample sizes, but it ain't lookin' good for P-Hustle, aka the Nipple Nazi:

Bad News for Dems With Latest Polling Data on Platner

As we reported, Democrats went all in for their nominee for the Senate in Maine, Graham Platner, despite all the vile things that have been revealed about him.

Why did they do that? He had been polling about nine points ahead of Republican incumbent Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) about two weeks ago.

About a week ago, we reported how the data indicated that the margin was closing, despite Democrats' protestations that people didn't care about the things being revealed about Platner. An internal poll for Platner even indicated the numbers had closed - to Platner just leading by four, when an internal poll generally tends toward the person for whom they're polling. This is with the polling generally underestimating Collins by a lot for the past three elections.

Then, President Donald Trump endorsed Collins, despite noting they had differences on policy, and he blasted Platner.

Now, Quantus Insights has some new numbers in on the race, and the Democrats who threw in with Platner have to be kicking themselves. They debased themselves to support him, and his lead has essentially disappeared. It's now a statistical tie.

NEW QUANTUS INSIGHTS POLL | June 12, 2026

Our latest Maine U.S. Senate survey finds the race tightening sharply since March, with Graham Platner now holding a narrow 1-point edge over Susan Collins.

📊 Maine U.S. Senate
🔵 Graham Platner: 46%
🔴 Susan Collins: 45%
⚪️  2%

It has Platner at 46 percent, Collins at 45, with 7 percent undecided, and 2 percent other.

Notice that in the generic congressional ballot, Democrats are up by 10. So Platner is doing worse than the generic Democrat, and Collins is doing better than the generic Republican. So much for Democrats attaching their hopes to him.

Co-founder of Quantus, Jason Corley, confirmed how much it had closed, and he thinks it's now a "toss-up."

He may be being kind.

As we noted, this is before you count in the 8 or so points the polls tend to underestimate Collins. If that holds in this election, as it has in the last three elections, she may be up by a fair amount.

There's likely more to drop on Platner, and they haven't even fully directed their attacks at him, which they will do, now that he is past the primary.

I would not want to enter eternity with that much hatred in my heart. It's unhealthy on this side of eternity, with worse to follow on the other side.

She probably figured that after she died that she'd be voting for the dem anyway so they may as well have some money, too. That's what demonrat overlords really care about anyway: money.

Miller: Biden Admin Handed Kids to Traffickers With Fake Addresses ‘on a Daily Basis’

https://pjmedia.com/catherinesalgado/2026/06/12/miller-biden-admin-handed-kids-to-traffickers-with-fake-addresses-on-a-daily-basis-n4953910

White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security advisor Stephen Miller said that the Biden-Harris administration was quite literally trafficking vulnerable children into the United States on a daily basis, handing them over to unknown adults with fake addresses. In other words, the Biden administration didn’t lose track of 450,000 unaccompanied alien children (UACs), it deliberately surrendered all chance to keep track of those children.

Jessica Vaughan, director of policy studies at the Center for Immigration Studies, had highlighted the case of one indicted criminal, a woman who sponsored no fewer than 40 UACs. She used a fake ID, but the Biden administration never did any basic verification and background checks, simply releasing more and more children to her.

Miller responded to Vaughan, “On a daily basis the Biden Administration turned over hundreds of alien children who had been smuggled across the border to unverified and unknown adults (almost always illegal aliens) who requested them. Thousands of times multiple minors were handed over to the same illegal alien adult.” The U.S. government became responsible for the biggest child trafficking network in the world.

In fact, Miller stated, “The Biden Administration never even met these adults: they gave the minors to third party contractors and the contractors drove the minors to the unknown adult ‘sponsors.’ The ‘official’ addresses on government forms usually faked or abandoned. Then, the Biden Administration would administratively close the case ensuring that the minor would disappear.”
...
Of the 450,000 kids the previous administration lost, “We found 146,000 kids so far,” Mullin said. “146,000 kids. We still have nearly 300,000 missing. We're investigating reports to where some of these kids claim that they were raped 6[00] to 700 times. I don't care who you are. I don't care if you have kids, if you don't have kids, I don't care if you're a liberal, you're independent, you're a Democrat, you're Republican. If you can't stand for law enforcement to go find these kids, who are you?”

This may or may not be hyperbole, but if LIEden minions were trying to create competition with Unnamed Southeast Asian Nation in pedophile sex tourism, what would those LIEden minions have done differently?
