The other day I was griping about how gas shot up 10 cents because oil jumped after Israeli hit Iran, but then went back down. I asked what were the odds that gas would top? Yesterday I saw that the price had gone down 4 cents. Wow…I bet the people living on the edge are breathing a sigh of relief!

Regular is $3.95. Midgrade in $4.20…I don’t even look at what premium is. And every gd thing in the grocery store is still going up. I rarely get out under $100 for things that used to cost me $65. And for gawd’s sake why are potatoes almost a dollar each? It sure looks like the economy was way better during Trump. Heck of a job, Biden.

the allergic reaction, I had the same sort of thing once and it was pretty maddening but pretty much self healed once I quit taking the medication that was causing it.

I recall long periods back when I was sort of paying attention where all the party politicos were incessantly going on with that "Why dont' these/those people vote" to which the only succinct, meaningful response was "for whom, exactly?". There can be exceptions, but so what? I think of Dellums, or Lee, on the right side more often than not, but being members of a wuper-minority, can't really get much of anything done anyway. The exceptions to the exceptions are those in a position to actually help you who are also willing to do so, but, invariably, in exchange for a very steep price of some kind or another.

be well and have a good one

Not Netanyahu

“What’s happening in America’s college campuses is horrific,” the Israeli prime minister said in a televised statement. “Antisemitic mobs have taken over leading universities.”
“What’s happening in America’s college campuses is horrific,” Mr. Netanyahu said. “Antisemitic mobs have taken over leading universities. They call for the annihilation of Israel. They attack Jewish students. They attack Jewish faculty.”

Those are all lies, of course.
meanwhile Hamas

senior official of the Palestinian Hamas movement at war with Israel has expressed support for protests being staged in solidarity with Gaza at universities across the United States and condemned efforts to crack down on them in comments shared with Newsweek.

"We in the Hamas movement believe that any popular movement demanding an end to the aggression and genocide against our people are useful and supportive activities for our cause," Hamas spokesperson Bassam Naim told Newsweek.

"They also refute the Zionist narrative," he added. "The importance of this increases if these activities involve young people and university students, given that this reflects the vision of future generations."
