Annual inflation adjustment……..that’s the new name for the increase going into effect on July 1.
it took about 1 second to see youre completely wrong.Nothing is saying what you said.Do you watch CNN maybe?Post proof or source.

There are two separate increases already set for July 1. The 1.6 cents tax increase and more clean air regulation costs forced on refiners thanks to California Air Resource Board. Iran situation will be just another added burden.

Trump’s golf trips have costs $27 million so far this year. DOGE should cut it.
He is worth every penny of it and more.
Barack Obama’s 333 rounds of golf cost taxpayers $85 million over eight years.
Obama has a handicap of around 17
Trump has a handicap of around 2. 8

Thanks for the report, Whoopi.
What’s most amazing is they were able to carry out the Iran nuclear facility strikes without it being leaked to the media prior. Security is improving.
No interference from leftist rogue judges either. They’ll likely demand the US B-2 bombers return immediately; just to feel like they have a hand in things.

@ken
What are you talking about? Already having a nuke or obtaining one in the near future, while shouting death to America, is definitely in America’s interest.
Gee, we’ve been hearing about this for the past 40 years. Seems like if it was such a threat something would have been done already.
And by your logic we should most definitelybe helping Ukraine then.
The reason we got to the point where Iran was within days of having nuclear weapons and a means to deliver them was because Carter refused to deal with an act of war against the US, and Obama sent Iran pallets of cash to finance their nuclear program as well as financing terrorist activities against Israel and the US.
Make no mistake, Ken……….my post had zero to do with Ukraine.
They’ve been talking about Iran getting a nuke any day now, for the last 40 years. What’s changed? Israel started a war they can’t win and need our help.
Israel didn’t start $hit, yoyohop.
Great, so now Iran or some pro-Iranian group like Yemen’s Houthis will retaliate against the US perhaps with a strike against a US ship or a base. And then we respond, and then it goes back and forth… what happened to his “America first” idea where we pull back and let the rest of the world solve their own problems? Did we really need to help Netanyahu kill even more people? Didn’t his own director of National Intelligence say there weren’t any nukes? Is he just looking for new headlines to replace all the bad press he’s been getting regarding the ICE raids and the ongoing No Kings protests around the country?
you seem confused about reality and life.Maybe just let them do what they want?think about it if youre able.
It is the same playbook as bush jr; looking or get rid of weapon of mass destruction, which his director of intelligence says isn’t there. Next up is operation of Iranian freedom and we will be there for 10 plus years.
Wrong, next step is to install a central bank and turn on the credit cards and iphones. Try and keep up paul
Ah yes… the left’s infamous “Weapons of mass destruction that were never there”.
The ones that wound up in burn pits emitting fumes that gave Beau Biden brain cancer along with many other soldiers.
The WMD that the Bush administration did not brag about finding & destroying since it was taking a long time to find all of it & they did not want any bad actors competing with the USA to get theirs hands on ’em… even tho all the most deadly stuff was already convoyed out of Iraq before our troops got there as was proven with satellite surveillance.
Yep… “never there”

He and anyone with a brain doesnt care at all whet they are saying about him and ICE,its getting thre bad publicity,why would he or I or anyone with an IQ over 110 ever care about liberal crocodile tears that you are displaying?
Don’t worry, Darcy……Trump is still about “America First”, and Iran having nukes would be everyone’s problem, including yours. I’m guessing Iran’s neighbors are quietly praising Trump.
Israel tried to assassinate key Iranian officials with air strikes. It didn’t work. Next the US bombed Iran because they supposedly have Weapons of Mass Destruction. Trump denies it has anything to do with regime change. Does that sound plausible?
BTW both Iran and Russia are saying the bombings were not successful.
But yeah, it’s America First, just as long as Israel is happy.
That’s right, yoyohop……….we’re first and we’re happy, Israel’s happy. A lot of people are happy, but not you. Oh well.
I voted for Trump because he ran on getting us out of wars. Now he is dragging us into a war, in order to change the Iranian regime. It’s the same agenda as Biden, Obama and Clinton.
He literally just tweeted “MIGA – Make Iran Great Again”. Is that what you voted for?
@yoyohop
Trump is not dragging us into a war; Trump’s agenda is not the same as those three you mentioned; and I’m happy with my vote.

We’ve been at war with Iran since November 4th 1979… we just never made it official.
Can’t say I was relieved by Trump’s speech. He looked tense. His whole team did.
Biden, Harris, Trump, it didn’t matter who was getting in office – we were going to fight for Israel – whether Americans wanted it or not.
During his first term Trump tore up the Iranian Nuclear Agreement while falsely claiming Iran was not abiding by it. The rest of the world disagreed. Then Trump imposed sanctions.
Those here that say they will join a protest are proving a point that most news outlets are saying.%90 of all protesters are paid agitators that dont have any care or belief in the issue,they just need an easy job.These agitators bring out the other %10 locals that are people with no jobs,no life,and have mental illness and are looking for a place to display their anger.Ask any of them why they are there, Thier answer is “they are saying to not like Trump,so we dont like him” -“but why”-they ask… “i dont know,but there are telling us to not like him,so we don’t.”
Just how much are these protesters being paid? And where does one apply for one of these paid positions? With millions of protesters around the country for “No Kings Day”, the payout must have been astronomical.
just look on craigslist
The ad on Craigslist appeared to offer “ $6500-$12500 a week for protesters in Los Angeles”, but it was a prank post, as multiple fact checkers pointed out. But you bought into it… Wow.

I am no expert, but it is my understanding that as the Commander in Chief, the president
does not need congressional approval to bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities. The approval comes from the executive branch, and the president is the chief executive officer. Think about what happened in 1945, President Truman did not have congressional approval to bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He did what was necessary at the time to put an end to the Japanese attacks
on US warships in the Pacific, and end the war with Japan. Truman also did not require congressional approval to enter the Korean War in 1950, and President Johnson increased
the use of US armed forces in Vietnam without congressional approval. There have been several military conflicts involving the US without congressional approval. The Gulf War, Afghanistan, and Iraq come to mind.
Trump sold 1000 gold cards at $5 million each in one day.Thats 5 billion in one day.And thats just one days worth of sales.

Like Dr. Frankenstein, the Dems have created a monster that appears ready to turn on them.
Ranked choice voting, embraced by the left in big cities as a means to freeze out competition, has spawned a radical socialist as their candidate for Mayor in NYC. Mamdani is so far left that he makes Bernie Sanders look and sound MAGA.
Mamdani beat former NYC Mayor (and Grandma killer) Mario Cuomo using the Dems favorite voting scheme of ranked choice voting. So what will they do to avoid a party death sentence if a communist is established in the country’s largest city and also the financial backbone of the USA? Eric Adams (current NYC Mayor and hated by Dems for his ties to Trump) has announced his reelection campaign but this puts the Dems in a tough spot: support a hated Independent or a Tic Toc communist? Time will tell.
It would not surprise me if they figure out a way to eliminate rank choice for this one very important race.
