The White House posted a video showing football clips mixed with bombing footage from the ongoing war. Ryan Clark, on an episode of his podcast, revealed that he was also part of the footage, and that is deeply concerning to him.

Spiking gas prices spark consumer interest in electric vehicles Oil and gasoline prices are rising as the war in Iran intensifies and other global conflicts affect supply. That means pain at the pump for drivers filling up with gas.

Gas prices are soaring, fueled by conflict and the greed of fossil fuel giants. This crisis is a wake-up call—a chance to accelerate the shift to electric vehicles and sustainable energy.

PAPER PLANET: “While Trump gutted food stamps for the poor and disabled, Hegseth ran up the largest single-month bill in history… $93.4 Billion in September… $6.9 million on lobster tails… they told you there’s no money for health care, there’s plenty.”

Another word you might use for it is "looting".

"This appears to be the first administration to take such widespread advantage of taxpayer-funded military housing to accommodate political appointees who do not have a direct connection to the military..."

Such payment no doubt required an NDA, which Trump used for everything he was involved in.

I would argue that such NDA, is covering up criminal behavior, was against the public interest and void. Has anyone interviewed that girl?

‘They pushed so many lies about recycling’: the fight to stop big oil pumping billions more into plastics Plastic production has doubled over the last 20 years – and will likely double again. For author Beth Gardiner, metal water bottles and canvas tote bags are not the solution. So what is?

Trying to use less plastic?

Big Oil and the plastics industry are spending billions to make sure everyone else uses more.

“I think what stood out most is the deliberateness and intentionality over the years of pushing plastic into our lives,” said @bethgardiner.bsky.social. “It was such a shock."

This war is not just using up money that could be used to actually make this country better.
Prices are up.
Gasoline is up.
More people have lost their jobs. Too many are suffering. Too many are going hungry.

I donated today to Manna Food Bank here in Asheville. I invite others to do the same.

I have set my phone up to screen phone calls now from numbers not in my phonebook. That screening still makes a record (brief voicemail) & record of the number that called.
I got TWO DOZEN SPAM CALLS TODAY.
I report these calls to the FCC. Why is nothing done??

Good thing trucks that transport millions of products every day in the US don’t use diesel so we don’t have to worry about inflation getting worse.

"Let sleeping dogs lie." That's the wisdom that Trump and his idiots don't seem to recognize. There has never been such an inexperienced, uneducated and selfish team running this country.
