Yikes. You can’t be serious.

Nearly just as much crude oil is passing through the strait on a daily basis as before the Iran war began. Yet diesel remains at record highs.

That’s because people don’t buy crude oil. They buy gasoline, jet fuel, and diesel.

Iran played their limited hands masterfully when they destroyed the refinement capacity of their gulf neighbors. Given the time it will take to return those to operating capacity, diesel, and therefore costs of goods, will remain high for the next several months.

Be wary of claims “the strait is open” without proper context. I suspect this is why the administration is delivering free money checks in an attempt to distract from the fact prices will unfortunately remain high for a while, and they did not properly evaluate Iran’s actions.

The owner has initiated a massive donor-funded rebuild of Nottoway aimed to be completed in 2029. Plans are for an exact reconstruction with additions to acknowledge slavery.

-Enslaved Peoples' Memorial: Plans include a dedicated memorial honoring the enslaved individuals who originally built and labored on the plantation in 1859.

-Unification Center: A new educational center will be established on-site to openly acknowledge and confront the history of chattel slavery.

My wife and I have frequented Nottoway over the years and attended several weddings there. I am pleased to see it rebuilt in a manner that includes everyone’s perspective and acknowledges the full scope of Louisiana’s history.

I won’t link the gofundme as to not violate website rules, but it’s easily locatable on the internet.

“I am naturally anti-slavery. If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong.”

-Abraham Lincoln

Not that either party condones slavery, but Lincoln was a Republican.

If any Republican supports this they are a hypocrite unworthy of the right to vote. Full stop.

1. Didn’t Hegeseth deny these reports

2. Disingenuous to classify suicide as weak

3. This says the strike group, so it could also include the ships sent to protect it

I hope not. We bought 7 houses in COVID era that now rent at 400% of their note. That was the best time to buy, rates were 1-2%.

It gets hotter every year. Year after year.

I understand this. With the heat waves intensifying, it’s not the 1930s.

Burning fossil fuels seems no end in sight, either.

If this is part of replacement (conspiracy) theory then of course not.

“prove me wrong” :lol:

Very clear distinction there.

Those reporters were prohibited because there was a clearing of the access rosters and streamlining of how many reporters from each outlet were allowed access.

They didn’t ban their newspapers outright. That’s what happened here.

Unfortunately Trump is about to have it handed to him by the courts.

Theres no right to a press pass or media access. However once you allow the media in, you can’t selectively choose who gets in because you don’t like their coverage.

That’s viewpoint discrimination. The First Amendment’s core rule is that the state may not punish speech because of its message. Trump’s stated reason, “negative stories” and “I don’t have to let them into the people’s house,” is almost a textbook admission of that.
