I was in California last week. Refilled the rental car twice. $6.50/gallon in napa, $7/gallon in San Fran near airport.

Meanwhile, when we landed back in Louisiana, gas was/is $3.17/gallon. Some of these states do it to themselves.

Coming from you, this statement is incredibly comical.

How about this, anyone who wants to have a discussion about gas prices should say what make/model they have, what they bought it for, and what their current note is. Then we can entertain the discussion to see if gas prices are really a problem for that individual.


I drive an 8 year old paid off Toyota Tundra, so no note. My roundtrip commute is 20 miles a day. I'm not going to act like I love current gas prices but I'm not going to cry about them either. I realize it's temporary. Having had times in my life where I was struggling to pay rent and bills, I can understand how people are upset about it though. BUT if those people said nothing during the years of the "We are going to end fossil fuels in 10 years" Biden administration when gas prices were high but are sky screaming about it now, when it's barely been 4 months of them going back up due to a temporary conflict with Iran... they can STFU. Gas prices are dropping here now.

Well said, Patriot. Temporary pain for permanent gain. You won’t believe the deal Trump is going to get us.

we need to get rid of the Islamic regime in Iran

Is that an objective that we are currently pursuing?

Iran wasn't a threat to the United States.


Iran has directly killed over 1000 Americans over the last few decades, and that number is much higher with regard to their indirect killings stemming from their involvement in/funding of terrorism around the world. The islamist terrorist regime has vowed "Death to America," and they were developing nuclear weapons. There are terrorist groups funded by and affiliated with this current islamist terrorist Iran regime that are vowing to kill as many as 50,000 Americans in future attacks.

And you JOOtards think they posed no threat to us?

It's just an excuse to whine. Full size pickup trucks make up 3 of the top 5 autos.

I was making fun of the idiots that keep asking if you complained about gas prices under Biden, as if people were jumping for joy over paying $5 gallon at a time when many people were out of work.


I personally knew TDS Democrat Biden supporters who chastised people for complaining about gas prices under Biden. They took offense to it. And a lot of other people I saw complaining about gas prices and grocery prices now over the last four months (when they are still lower than under Biden) said NOTHING during the years of Biden's Presidency. If you can't admit that is hypocritical or selective outrage, fine. But it is.

And he will come out on top, like he always does, and almost always proves he was right... and you'll still cry, then pivot to the next TDS subject of the day or continue crying about da' JOOz. Such is life. Carry on, nerd.

At this point I don't see why we won't cut our losses and end the war. Who cares if Iran and Omen toll the Strait for a while? Gas prices will still drop and oil sources outside of the Strait (US) will be in more demand.

Iran doesn't have a nuclear program, and their economy is pretty screwed for a decade even with the tolls.

Agreed, Patriot. Trump is on the money. Watch how he berates Iran on truth social. They haven’t got a social media beating like that in years.
