So I mentioned my gas price increase in the other page.  But I did a quick google and the US gets about 7% of it's oil from the Strait and of which 3% of the US uses it for gasoline purposes.  So why the heavy increase in prices so quickly?

Google also said we get 60% or so of our oil from Canada, who doesn't get their oil from the Strait either.

Seems like greed to me and that the corporations are using any excuse to increase profits.  I could be wrong.

What we are seeing is how 1 country controls things.  Which means at their will, they could cut off the US or other countries.  And it's worthy to note that they're not only cutting of the USA/Israel, but everyone.

How do you know which info is the right info and which is the wrong info?

Trump posted about it.

I read that when Vegas was shutdown to Covid, it caused casinos to re-evaluate their buffets and how they lose money for the casino, but they make it up later when people play.  It also provided an excuse to not re-open the buffets or keep them at the lower cost.

So one has to wonder if Gov Sisoulak didn't shut down Vegas due to Covid, would the casinos still have cheaper buffets?  1 could also argue that this was the downaward spiral to no free parking and higher table limits.  FYI the govenor at the time is DNC.  He also had a proclamation that Ivermectin (IIRC I think it was this med) was only to be given at a medical facility. Which means you have to drive to a doctor or hospital to take it.

Bluffs event rescheduled to yesterday and had a big turnout.  Prob rescheduled due to the weather coming.  Nice to see people gave him and his crew lei's.

Iran media and our fake news are very similar. Always finding something to bash Trump on.  IMO, equipment destroyed to save an american pilot is worth it.

It's been weeks now and what I've noticed.  Iranian information being released by their military is like CNN and like as they're mostly fake news, aka wrong.

Examples:
AI generated pics of: Recently they claimed to captured the missing F15 "pilot", which was AI generated as his chute was next to the downed F15. A downed B2 that had some Iranian solders standing next to it and the size is way off.  Pics of special forces being captured.
Claims of more aircraft being shot down
Claim of US carrier being destroyed/hit
Many more, but can't remember.

What is interesting is that for the recently resuced pilot, there were Iranian citizens trying to block the roads to prevent their military to search for the guy.

For those who are interested in who resuces downed pilots, the Discover Channel had a good series on PJ's (Para Rescue who do this).  But keep in mind this was during OIF (in A-stan) so it's more about medical than downed pilots.  But the military channel had a docu some years ago about O'Grady who was resuced decades ago.

I’m curious how they’d enforce a rule like that without grabbing even more ID data from everyone. Feels like it raises bigger questions about rights and government limits than it solves.

Trace the IP address or ping the location to a residential address.  Then enter and demand who's account is this or take everyone to jail.

I can understand why people wouldn't want to give their info to the FBI

Kash and Dan were supposed to reform it but one looks like a hostage and the other quit

Well the good news is no one is actually in RAPBACK, even though we all paid a fee for it to be in it.

That's not true.

Ever notice how the timing almost perfectly coincides with the explosion of ghost guns?

The legislature created a market, just like they did with aerial fireworks.

RAPBACK passed back in 2016ish.  At the time, homemade guns were legal as long as you registered them after if it became more than 80% of a "firearm".

There is no feeling, it's law and new gun buyers have no choice.

There's a RAPBACK thread that you can read for more info.
