The oil & gas market is extremely complex, and intentionally so. Consider that 80% of the world's oil comes nowhere near the Strait of Hormuz, yet prices are at least 30% higher everywhere. If your oil supply is part of that 80% not from the Middle East, the 30% price spike is ALL windfall profit.
Transistors transgenders... Bring back Rosanne Rosannadanna! She was much better at it.
Register to vote or check your voter registration with your country, especially if you have moved or changed your name, or are hispanic or black, or haven't voted since the 2024 election. Every county has a website you can use. Help your neighbors, especially the elderly or infirm. Then vote!
This may be the most important lawsuit of the 2026 and 2028 election cycles.
Eliminating the Dallas shenanigans would not have changed the outcome, but we learned 2 important things: 1. Jasmine Crockett is a class act 2. The R's mission now is to get you not to vote for Talarico, or not to vote at all in November. They will stop at nothing.
However the Senate primary breaks for their party, Democratic voters need to unify immediately, fully back the winner, and get to the polls in November.
On Sunday, I couldn't help but think of another icon in white stirring us all with his energy on stage - Cab Calloway
How these people keep their medical licenses to practice medicine is beyond reason. Parents who refuse to protect their own and others' children from these dangerous diseases should be charged with criminal endangerment.
Here we go again... There is no such thing as clean coal. No clean way to burn it. No clean way to mine it. No clean way to deal with the toxic waste it produces. No cures for the black lung disease, the lung cancers, the COPD it causes.
Conservative California governor Earl Warren was selected to continue the right wing tilt when he was confirmed in 1953. Miraculously, he veered left and led perhaps the most consequential SCOTUS in history. If only we had such men of character today.
The Catholic Church does many things right, one of them is forcing the removal from power of those over 75. Trumper Dolan will not be missed.
Let's do the math. Some < Probable Number < All Depending on his audience.
Seriously? We're still asking this? The American importer pays the tariffs, and the importer either absorbs the cost or passes it on to the American consumer. It's that simple.
I was under the impression that non-explosive testing of our mechanisms in addition to computer simulations happens all the time. Did we stop doing that?
He's no doubt one of those people who puts a plug into every wall socket so the electricity doesn't leak out.
Another beloved banjo player, so appropriate for today. Pete Seeger, for you young-uns.
Haven't been a Dodgers fan since they left Brooklyn, but watching future Hall of Famer Shohei Ohtani at the peak of his career is special.
Dumbest CNN spin headline ever. China has a near monopoly on rare earths and their processing. They have all the leverage. The threat is China's against us.
All these Congressmen, and women, "bristling" and embarrassed about the Speaker's antics. If just one more of you signs the discharge petition to release the Epstein files, you could all be back in session, and working, this afternoon.
Where's the beef? And the $17 trillion? And the $50,000 bag of money? And the Epstein files? Or should we say Epstein Trump files?
Photo from the NYT. The temporary resident of our White House has trashed the place with his gaudy trinkets. Can't wait for this lame duck to waddle off into the sunset so we can make the place look respectable again.
From the NYT. If you're thinking that your particular issue was more important than Inflation / Cost of Living in the 24 election, think again.
