More about soothing consumers before the mid terms than it is anything substantial. Still, not okay. We just increased sanctions against Russia, after all.

WTF! Forget the sanctions! Forget Ukraine!  Even if temporary, this is not OK. Not one dime should be going to Russia. Trump thinks lowering diesel costs will make Americans happy and vote Republican? Trump! The devil in disguise.  meidasnews.com/news/trump-a...

I’m working for nothing? I went back to work to supplement my SS income. It’s increased by $500 a month. Take away $2k a year, plus any reduction made for SS to remain solvent, and working from 2015-2026 is a wash. I’d love to retire and throw in the towel. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Does Schoen believe Trump worthy? He obviously is a believer that Israel can do no wrong as chairman of the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA). It’s natural for him to demean the recipient.

Collins…roasted by the moderator too. Ossoff…excellent delivery. Debate is all about performance, and it is clear Ossoff came armed and ready. You dont have to agree with a candidate on every issue, but if Collins has one white supremacist, speaking for him, even if family, it’s a hard NO!

If he knew beforehand, I believe @lluck002.bsky.social, would be correct. I also believe Netanyahu wants to stay in power, so he listens and acts in accordance with far right political parties in Israel. They claim they just want their Biblical lands…but without Arabs.

I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but, I do pay attention, and this is worrisome. I have zero trust in Trump, Hegseth, the DOJ, SCOTUS, any advisor or Cabinet member. They have purposefully destroyed our government, our security and our relationships, world wide. Pay attention to details.

As he should. Ms Pike told officials how difficult it was to access her veins. Killing/torturing another human never brings back the deceased victim, who was obviously wronged. What the death penalty does is prolong the court battle, so there is no closure, sometimes for decades.
