Yes, yes .. .. 2 dozen times.
Has Trump eased of? In military action, Yes.
Is that surrender? No.
Big important actions are underway by
Treasury Sec Scott Bessant who knows what he is doing.
The economy of Iran is in a bad way.

ThanQ

Great visit … look forward to next time.

Yes bad writing on my part…… The Trump administration finalized revised federal fuel economy standards, scaling back requirements implemented under the Biden administration.

Key Details of the Rule Change

• New Fleetwide Target: Lowers the required fleetwide average for new passenger cars and light-duty trucks to 34.9 miles per gallon (mpg) by 2031 (starting at roughly 32.3 mpg in model year 2027).
• Previous Standard: Replaces the Biden-era rules that targeted a fleetwide average of 50.4 mpg by 2031.
• Annual Increase: Mandates a 1% annual increase in fuel efficiency instead of the previous 2% annual increase.

Projected Impacts

• Vehicle Costs: The Department of Transportation and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimate the rule lowers the average upfront purchase price of a new vehicle by about $1,289 to $1,300 and reduces industry compliance costs.

So what good has come of this? I would be the first to agree with getting rid of Iran’s leadership, but that didn’t and isn’t happening.

And we are losing both houses now, which may very well not have happened.

It is a sad state of affairs, as it is clear that our market is no longer a function for determining which companies are operating most efficiently and in the best possible manner. When something as simple as a tweet from an uninvolved individual can influence the "value" of a company, I can't help but ask what is the value of the market?

Not really, in spite of the fact that Trump/America has provided safe passage in the SOH past Iran the big oil companies continue to keep the price of oil up.
Remember, big oil is in league with the left.

Good Job, Brother . . .

Bugging out is not an option for me, so I am bugging in. I need to do more prep, but in many ways it's as good as it's going to get. One thing I do want is a small freeze dryer for long term, not too bulky food storage. If the power grid goes down, it's still usable with my small backup solar generator, plenty of garden space behind a fence, seed vault (non-gmo, heirloom varieties, includes medicinal plants). Working on a non-powered water maker ( okay, the small transfer pump and ozone generator take a very small amount to run). Everything is portable, ready to shift locations if necessary (still bugging in, with several safer locations as backup if things really go bad fast). At 77, and in rotten health, I can still survive for a bit after those balloons go up or that power grid comes down. If you can stock up on prescription meds, get as far ahead as you can. My max is three months right now, working on it. Wish I had a horse...

OMG and back again, Carl🤣🤣🤣

Funniest comment I've heard in some time!
👍👍👍

Late to the game this week--several days of manic doc appointments for both me and my daughter. She's living with me now, here in Elyria, OH, and it is totally revitalizing! We're both longtime Gulchers and we have been LOAO ( that's Laughing Our Asses Off) all day long as we catch up. Thanks, ouc, for a great start to our week!!!

California is a good example of where the majority of people there are too stupid to pour piss out of a boot with the instructions written on the heel.

All good but remind me how he did away with the gas combustion engine.

You'd think anyone would think so~~if they could think at all.

"Und mein too!" der dino him loud sayen.

Yes, regarding the commies and baby-marrying immigrants as they've become adept at using our Constitutionally protected freedoms to take away our Constitutionally protected freedoms. Often a tough nut to legally crack.

well, remember. The Deep State gets a WORD.
And their word is to separate conservatives. Turn them against the cause.

They find the 100 little scabs. And they pick at them.

The notion that Trump is protecting Epstein because Trump was involved is SICK and WRONG.

Now, I KNOW for a fact, that Trump was protecting the list, so he could go and contact the various governments who HOUSED these criminals, and MAYBE they could track their movements and figure out who else was involved, WHILE starting the process of removing them from power!

The Deep State has an INTEREST in EXPOSING who has been exposed, so they are quickly fired, and NOT Communicating in the network the Deep State must protect.

Liberals will do stupid things.

My favorite one is the tree with the noose around a liberals neck. And they are watering the Tree...

ThanQ Dob!

Indeed. Not to mention their murderous proxies throughout the ME and the world. No need for a rocket to deliver a nuke when the minions will smuggle it (or them in case of multiple bombs) to wherever desired.

Halloween was not meant to always be happy.

Abaco says: "But, many of them have left California and remained stupid."

I don't think so (I mean, yes they definitely are stupid, but....). I think this is the entire POINT. As long as big states like Texas remain red, the Democrats will never be able to totally dominate the US. They didn't come here because they love Texas and hate what California has become. They came here because they want total domination, and the only way to get that is to completely eradicate the conservatives in every stronghold. Texas is one of those strongholds, and after they conquer us, they'll move on to the next.

Horrible.

Thank you, Dobrien. My sentiments exactly.

Thanks OUC!
Me the dino DOES fervently harbor the hope that Tuesday's election will kick off a super-sized start of cleansing the USA of its destructive for a conjoined Muslim-spearheaded Communist infestation reinforced with the now ever-present invasive mortar of millions of illegal aliens allowed in by treason to become potential voters.
