It seems to be a flash-in-the-pan gimmick. [_The Hill_: Freedom Fuel gas prices are rising only days after debut, GasBuddy data indicates](https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/5962848-freedom-fuel-gas-prices-are-rising-only-days-after-debut-gasbuddy-data-indicates/) > Critics of the Freedom Fuel model have questioned where the subsidies are coming from, seeing as experts have claimed the stations must be taking a loss, based on the current price of oil. Tom Kloza, an energy advisor for Gulf, told [The New York Times](https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/10/us/freedom-fuel-gas-stations.html) that these kinds of promotions are unsustainable, and “the period where one sells at the disadvantaged prices is measured in hours and not days or weeks.” Probably some Trump financial supporter, doing it as a backdoor bribe. Sell cheap gas for a short while, then Trump and Republicans can claim that if you vote for them in the midterm, they can make cheap gas prices a long-term reality if they could only stop those nasty lefties. ---

You just KNOW that Donald will have been whining about how VLAD never has to put up with any stories about Vlad’s terrible decisions. Why should Donald be humiliated over his acceptance of the Qatari “gift” jet? Why shouldn’t journalists be taught that their job is to _ **praise** _ him, not to report on how much his bad decisions cost??? ---

These two quotes were said within a few moments of each other. The subject is the red card issued to an American in a World Cup match. “I asked for a review because I didn’t think it was a foul. And you know, again, I’m good at this stuff.” “Red card, I didn’t know what the hell a red card was, but when I found out I said, ‘You gotta be kidding.’” ---

He’s building a fence around the White House and just extended the National Guard’s deployment in DC until inauguration day, 2029. A worrier like me gets worried when things like this happen. ---

There is already a fence around the White house. Actually, two I think. He’s putting up another one. Is it concertina wire? Hmmm. Fences can keep people IN too. Cut off the internet and cell phones and he has his own prison. We’d have to block FOX ‘news’ too. Give him MSNBC and Punky Bruster re-runs. ---
