Brent crude futures have erased all their wartime gains and are trading near $70 a barrel, while the physical oil market is flashing signs of weakness more extreme than any time since the demand collapse of Covid.

It's hard to imagine that Congress in 1868 was trying to confer citizenship on the children of British subjects visiting our shores temporarily. Two bloody wars had just been fought against the British on our shores, with the most recent concluding only 40 years before passage of the 14th amendment.
Missing a flight home doesn't seem to meet the definition of "subject to the jurisdiction thereof". If somebody can be expelled, deported or has a temporary visa, they really aren't subject to our jurisdiction. They already belong to another country, and should have to follow a legal process before they are subject to our jurisdiction.
Maybe a minimum legal status such as one parent holding a green card should be required to confer citizenship on the children. That would (mostly) clean things up while still being pretty liberal with who is granted citizenship. The recent Supreme Court ruling seems to leave the door open for Congress to pass a rule like that.

It’s open enough for our purposes…
International benchmark Brent crude futures for August settled down 4.34% at $71.99 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate futures for August declined 3.74% to end at $69.23 a barrel. The last time WTI futures closed below $70 was on Feb. 27 — the day before the start of the Iran war.

You keep changing the narrative.
War is not over 6 weeks.
It will be in a few weeks.
4 months later, still not over.
It's technically over.
Strait is open.
Strait is not open.
Strait is under US control.
Strait is not controlled by the US.
Well... nothing matters as long as oil is cheap.
Do you know how ridiculous you sound? If this was the other way around you would have created 10 threads already.
This is why your posts are meaningless, you lack objectivity. At least I can see things from both sides. AI has a better conversation than you do.

Trump asked FIFA to review Balogun’s World Cup game suspension: Reports
- President Donald Trump reportedly asked FIFA to review a one-game World Cup suspension of U.S Men’s National Team striker Folarin Balogun before the international soccer regulatory body surprisingly reversed the ban.
- Balogun can play for the USMNT against Belgium on Monday in a knockout World Cup soccer game.
- “Thank you to FIFA for doing what was right, and reversing a great injustice!” the president said on Truth Social.
- Balogun is a U.S. citizen by birth. Trump last week lost a case at the Supreme Court, which blocked an executive order he issued to sharply restrict birthright citizenship.

I mean it's a prime example of why birthright citizenship as currently interpreted is messed up. His parents missed a flight and so he's now a US citizen, even though in reality he's a European. There's no way the drafters of the 14th amendment could have predicted this situation when they worded the amendment.

dont want to get to this topic but I found it depressing initially majority of US soccer fans found the red card to be injustice and Balogun took the high road and now left leaning fans learned Trump was involved in the suspension of the red card and they are now rooting for Belgium to win. Typical TDS anything Trump does is being despised including rooting against your own country

to be fair, this may have backfired as Belgium could be more motivated as they felt being "cheated" and also demoralized US squad a bit.
I’m no soccer dude but Belgium looked way more athletic and skilled - the play they ran for the first 2 goals was mental - getting the left footed kick from the corner to travel straight parallel to the goal and make it a layup for the tall guy who headed them in was as beautiful as a long TD pass reception . I think it’s like the US and ROW in hoops - eventually we’ll catch up but soccer needs the equivalent of AAU hoops - instead of pay to play private club teams
