@nytimes.com One has to ask- Why Is this being framed as “in California”? There is, & rightly should be, nationwide horror that a sitting president would say anything remotely like this. Stop shielding this madman. Start asking the GOP where they stand. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/06/w...

As much as the Republicans despise alternative fuels, the obscene fuel prices generated by their unwarranted sneak attack on Iran ( stupid in the extreme )will spur on the adoption of alternative energy sources! Oil companies are reaping $ now, but ultimately they contributed to their own demise.
