I hate how gas prices are being rumored to go up because of this latest war.
Big Oil so fast to raise but slow to lower.

I’m not just talking about CA, all states will raise prices because that’s what Big Oil does. This is a reason to pursue alternate energy.
"Big Oil" doesn't supply California' gasoline. "Big State Government" does. They alone screwed the pooch on production and refining capacity.
The rest of the nation might "suffer" through $3.50-$4.00 domestically sourced and refined gas, but our Bahamian sourced and refined refined gas supply will swiftly get us up and over $7.00 per gallon, with $10.00+ just in time for the mid-term elections.
Gas would be cheap here in California what with all the Venezuelan crude available, but you have to refine it, which again, is strictly a Newsom issue, not one created by The Tangerine Terror or the boogie man known as "Big Oil".
Trump / Iran aren't the problem. It's Governor Dippidy-Doo and his band of merry men giving us an early taste of their utopian fever dream of a world without ICE.

If California was basing off of $2.90/gallon like the rest of the country this wouldn’t hurt so much but judging from how fast this is going and the markets shrugging off the implications I don’t think a spike will Be long lasting if ever. All the more reason for us to cut taxation and regulation in this state and get us on a level field with the rest of the country….but i doubt the Morons in charge will endeavor to help…

If we do…it is a crisis of our own making and will be localized to this state…unfortunate and preventible.

It will only get bad in CA due to gross mismatch of largest population of ICE drivers vs limited gasoline supply - basic economics . I love my EV but you can’t force that choice and we tried subsidizing it and all that did was drive billions in losses for the bozo legacy automakers

Newsom Imports Expensive Gasoline From Bahamas As California Closes Domestic Refineries
This story is baffling. Bloomberg reports that California is starting to import gasoline from the Bahamas, while the state sits on enormous oil resources it refuses to develop. Bloomberg reports: “US supplies of gasoline are being shipped out of the country to travel thousands of miles via the...

Trump is playing 4D chess.
If you see a confrontation coming, or underway, with the axis of China-Russia-Iran, what would you like to do? First, you’d want to keep one of the major players (Russia) tied up as long as possible in an existing quagmire of its own making. Second, you’d want to strip the most dangerous proxies of their asymmetrical capabilities — which means defanging Hezbollah and Hamas, as Israel has largely done. Third, you’d want to deny them peripheral allies such as the Assad regime in Syria — mission, again, accomplished. Fourth, you’d take out the most unstable element of the axis — Iran’s nuclear arsenal. Fifth, you’d want to take out their allies closest to our shores, Venezuela and Cuba. We’re one for two there, even at the cost of leaving much of the Venezuelan regime intact, and Cuba is tottering. Sixth, you’d then want to move on the weakest link in the axis — Iran — while its offensive capabilities and terrorist proxies are at their nadir, Russia remains preoccupied, and Iran’s people are restive. Seventh, you’d want to disrupt the raw materials needed by the axis — specifically, the flow of Iranian and Venezuelan oil to China and Cuba, both of which badly need it.

So where are the posts from all those “wars don’t happen under Trump” members?
I am usually against any war but I do understand the reasons for this one. And if valid, why not involve Congress? Seem like some wag the dog is going on.
Department of War indeed… war baby war!!!

Not talking about you. Talking about the rhetoric of why people voted for Trump.
Might be good for economy but bad for those who die.

But can that really happen?
Radical will always radical.
There will always be terror from that area unless a larger change occurs.
Seems like history repeating itself.

Never know until you try…Trump has confounded convetional wisdom when it comes to most all his domestic and foreign policies (Tarrifs causing inflation, moving US embassy to Jerusalem, moving troops into cities to combat crime, closing the border in short order)….they all seemed to work when everyone said they would fail…I’m willing to go in on this just on that record..
The funniest take on why they will ultimately lose….radical gonna radical itself out of existence as it has no allies…
