The bitching about gas prices is a great example of why major DOGE gutting would be political suicide - Americans have very little economic pain tolerance.

re: $29 Billion Later, the Price of Gas Has Increased 62%

$29 Billion Later, the Price of Gas Has Increased 62%
Posted by RFK on 5/22/26 at 2:47 am
The Strait of Hormuz was open and operating normally in February 2026 (averaging 150 ships per day, petroleum and LNG flowing normally).
The average US gas price in February was $2.91 per gallon. Today it is $4.56.
Iran war costs (as of today) are $29 billion since the war began.
For the life of me I can’t understand this 4-D chess economics. But I’m sure there’s a plan, no one would completely disrupt the economy and world order for no reason.
But since we solved all domestic problems like the deficit, voter fraud, and runaway government spending, I guess we have time for personal wars of choice

Trump has been made an absolute fool by Iran. He should have bomber them weeks ago like he promised but held off because “they wanted to negotiate.”

re: What are the circumstances around Luke Letlow‘s death? As I understand it, he was a Covid
Posted by RFK on 5/18/26 at 12:51 am to Meauxjeaux
This was always so confusing to me.
If he passed from Covid that validates that Covid was a legitimate threat since he was otherwise healthy.
But his base is MAGA so they aren’t supposed to acknowledge Covid. Does this make sense?

re: Reasonable Changes to Louisiana Science Educational Act (LSEA) Will Attract Businesses
Posted by RFK on 5/9/26 at 7:18 am to Onyx Aggie
quote:In the long term, yes. We have to aspire to bring major company HQs here. This requires more than economic benefits.
In your mind, this is what is keeping major companies from doing business in LA? Setting aside the fact that both Google and Amazon have multi-billion dollar projects and presence in LA, the idea that teachers can present points of view contrary to current established scientific understanding of some topic is keeping business at bay is basically retarded.
Updating this law will signal to businesses that the state is committed to producing a highly skilled, STEM-literate workforce essential for innovation-driven industries like technology, biotechnology, engineering, and advanced manufacturing, thereby enhancing economic competitiveness and attractiveness for relocation or expansion.
Reasonable Changes to Louisiana Science Educational Act (LSEA) Will Attract Businesses
Posted by RFK on 5/9/26 at 6:17 am
Louisiana’s official position, via the 2008 Louisiana Science Education Act (LSEA, Act 473), permits public school teachers to use supplemental materials that critique or question established scientific theories like evolution.
Evolution is one of the most robust theories in biology, backed by fossils, genetics (e.g., shared endogenous retroviruses, chromosome 2 fusion), comparative anatomy, and observed mechanisms.
From a scientific/evidence-based perspective, the probability that humans evolved from microbial ancestors over ~3.8–4 billion years is effectively 100% (or as close to certainty as science gets).
The alternative—that humans were created by God in one instant act (e.g., the creation theory in Genesis)—has a probability of essentially 0% under empirical methods.
I understand Genesis may be an allegory and is not to be taken at face value (because it was written by men). However the LSEA allows the propagation of theories not supported by any evidence.
I support changes to the LSEA to ensure public schools. If you want to attract large businesses (Amazon, Google, etc.) you have to entice them with common sense educational reforms. Their CEOs and workers are not going to want to put their children in our schools.

re: If Trump pulls out of NATO - how does Europe respond?

quote::lol: will never happen. I guarantee it.
I’m fully on board with 47 scaling back and ultimately pulling out of NATO. Europe has proven to be useless for us tactically and now they are simply another form of welfare and subsidization on the US.
1. Congress passed a law blocking it in 2023.
2. Most Americans support NATO.
3. It would severely weaken America and Trump knows it.
It’s a far-right isolationist fantasy.
