Brent crude hit $95.40 a barrel because of strikes Trump ordered, and his answer is “They’ll come down.” No plan, no timeline. Just a shrug from the guy who also bombed a wedding ceremony this week. You’re paying more at the pump so he can play war. That’s his whole policy.
And this is why you don’t assign the National Guard to be on an anti-crime task force or in any capacity that pits them against citizens. Our troops are supposed to defend us, not kill us. I thought we learned this lesson at Kent State in Ohio, 1970.

Clarence Thomas says the 14th Amendment should be read narrowly because it was written for formerly enslaved people. By that logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets, not AR-15s. Funny how that kind of originalism only shows up when it's convenient.
