For the next 28 days, President Trump should focus on a simple fact: A Senate led by Chuck Schumer would be a nightmare. I explain why in my latest column: gingrich360.net/p/the-schume…

The world will be a better place when there is no more Palestinian Culture, which is a dark fusion of the worst of Islam with Nazism and a whole lot of Bolshevik and Liberationist Communism. Concentrated and triple distilled evil paraded as a vehicle to freedom.
Palestinian children spit on the corpses of dead civilians. Never forget October 7th.

“Shamefully dishonest” is correct. Even if you think Trump’s unscripted remarks were somewhat muddled, no thinking person should have any problem whatsoever understanding his intended point. Trump clearly was arguing that higher gas prices are a small price to pay to prevent nuclear attacks on American cities in the future. Those claiming otherwise are being cynically dishonest, and establishment media who are reporting on this as if there is any real confusion about what Trump meant are again showing their partisanship. BTW, for Trump haters who are frustrated because Trump supporters often ignore their criticisms of him: This fake controversy is a great example why. If you still don’t comprehend, you might want to read about the boy who cried “Wolf!”
I have been pretty critical of Trump on Iran, but this is a shamefully dishonest mischaracterization of what he said, which is that he does not want that to happen, and that he thinks that higher gas prices are worth it to ensure that it doesn't.

You know damn well he was talking about higher gas prices are a small price to pay for keeping Iran from taking out two large cities with a Nuke! You people are disgusting liars that have to misrepresent everything he says. Just like the very fine people hoax.

Indeed. Knowing what the BoM actually says puts you in a difficult position. You either have to lie to placate those who haven’t read it, ignore them or spend a ridiculous amount of time arguing against walls of ignorance.

If you haven't figured this out already, you will get very tired knowing what you know now. 😅 But we'll stand with you as brothers in Christ.

Honest…and correct take. Thanks, Rod. Spread the word. 🫡
Deleted post griping about what Trump said about Los Angeles and San Diego being nuked by Iran. Now that I've seen the clip, it was clear that he simply wasn't speaking clearly, that he was WARNING that this could happen, not wishing for it. I apologize.

No wonder Democrats want to ban AI... "The statement's main distortion is the line about "slaughter of Americans" being a "small price to pay." Trump's "small price to pay" referred to the cost of the war: gas prices, the economic hit. It did not refer to dead Americans in LA or San Diego. The statement welds two separate thoughts into one sentence he never said."
The words of an American President weigh a ton. He must not be frivolous with the weight of his office. Donald Trump has gone beyond the pale saying Iran can “take out” Los Angeles and San Diego. How could he say the slaughter of Americans is a "small price to pay"? The American people expect much more of a U.S. President.

Really remarkable to watch much of the national press corps set fire to the little that remained of their credibility. They know full well what Trump meant, and went with the opposite meaning anyway. Members of a dying industry only accelerating their own demise.
President Trump is facing criticism after suggesting Iran could “take out” Los Angeles or San Diego, with four weeks until the critical midterm elections. Rachel Scott reports.

I retweeted this negatively. Yes, I watched the clip before I did. After listening again, I’m man enough to admit I was wrong. This is not what he was saying. Admittedly, he’s saying higher gas prices are a small price to pay to keep cities like Los Angeles and San Diego safe. If I demand accountability from leaders, I better be accountable myself. I apologize for spreading false narrative.
Trump on Iran: “Let them take out Los Angeles or San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."

This week these two officers did a traffic stop, during the stop of violating a red light, the driver expressed she was in a hurry to get the children in the car to school. When the officers asked her, what school do they attend. She could not give a good answer. They escorted her from the car and questioned the child, simply to the eldest child, age 10, "do u know this woman?" The 10 year old shook his head, No! at that point the driver was arrested. It was later determined she had kidnapped the children on their way to school. Four children ages 10 to 6 were forced into the vehicle. These 2 officers exercised excellent police investigate skills, in doing so they were able to take a kidnapper of the streets, and safeguard the 4 children from any hurt, harm and danger. Outstanding work to Officers Flannel and Parrish, two of the hard workers in the Eighth Precinct. Credit: Vickie Micallef

We've been seeing a lot of these types of posts over the past few days. So we put this together as an explainer. Now keep in mind that we (US_OGA) are the small companies that produce oil and gas - not the big boys that are fully integrated and produce, transport and run refineries. We don't do that. We just pull it out of the ground and sell it to whoever will buy it. But those other guys are bad at explaining things because they have comms teams that are scared of their own shadows so we have to do if for them sometimes. That won't keep some of you from yelling at us. So be it. But yelling at us is like yelling at a farmer for the price of a box of cereal. But here you go. This might answer some of these questions.
Trying to understand this… In 2008, oil climbed to about $143 a barrel and gas was roughly $4.10 per gallon. Today, oil is closer to $94 a barrel, but gas is around $4.38 per gallon. Crude oil has fallen significantly, but prices at the pump don’t seem to reflect that difference. What factors are keeping gas prices high?

The Left-wing media propaganda machine again demonstrating its TDS today misquoting and distorting President Trump’s remarks to allege he suggests it’s OK for Iran to bomb San Diego and Los Angeles. Are there really people out there stupid enough to buy their deceitful propaganda?

This beautiful family, the Kutz family, was found embraced as they lay dead in a bed in their home, their own safe haven, after being murdered by Hamas on October 7th. The youngest child was 15 years old. Remember them.

It’s midnight in Israel. As we mark the 3-year anniversary of October 7th, the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, I’ll focus for the next 24 hours on honoring the memory of the victims, the heroes, and the stories. We must never forget October 7th, 2023. Never Again.

Zohran Mamdani’s New York City and Gavin Newsom’s California: Zohran Mamdani has announced taxpayer funding for gender transition. Gavin Newsom’s state is flying pride flags at an elementary school. The forced exposure of radical gender ideology AND the acceptance of gender surgery on children is SICKENING.
