Of course he won't go to London. And if JA is actually in US custody, he'll find a fucking excuse why he won't talk to him on US soil. Schitt won't learn anything new from meeting JA.
The market is pricing in supply losses from Venezuela. Political risk is always priced into assets and commodities (also assets). Plus OPEC cartel is openly manipulating the market.
It could be a while. Typically there's a weak correlation between gas prices and oil prices. Plus they play monkey games with formulations, artificially increase prices because of expected demand (like right before a holiday weekend, etc).
We need to tell Trump to allow building new refineries. Not a single refinery built since 1976. There's a huge bottleneck, they could refine more crude into gas but the capacity just isn't there. With regard to oil prices, see this. Russia and Saudi Arabia are considering upping production.

Especially if rumors are true that Saudi Arabia, Iran et al are drying up.
>They raise prices…they lower them slowly and usually not to prespike levels
That's one thing that makes me wanna scream. I drive past a gas station that was at, say, $2.49 yesterday and now $2.89 less than 12 hours later. Then they walk it down by a penny per day for maybe two weeks or so, jack it by more than the aggregate reduction in price. Wash, rinse, repeat.
You're a dying breed, anon. You don't take it upon yourself to teach children what to think. Only HOW to think. That is the goal of education. Or…what used to be the goal. My parents must not have trusted the public school system because I remember being a loud mouthed little shit when I was in elementary school, questioning my teachers and getting into arguments with them about politics. Mind you, I went to a school in a school district that is considering pulling SROs from all of the schools, just as there's been a huge uptick in violence at all of the schools within the district. They don't expel you're black and bring a loaded handgun to school (just ask the kid who got busted for it a second time and not expelled). My mouth got me into a lot of trouble for "challenging authority" like my 5th grade teacher telling the class that Bill Clinton is a role model. I laughed and called her out in class, said "A rapist is a role model? Who else? Is Jeffrey Dahmer a role model?" (living in Wisconsin at the time, right after Dahmer arrested) "Get the FUCK OUT of my class!" Oops touched a nerve, didn't I? I just despise liars, always have, and I call it like it is. I don't care about someone's feelings when it comes to debating issues like gun rights. Emotions should not even be a factor.
Attacking Hogg personally is…he's made himself such a juicy target that it's extremely difficult to resist. By design or just stupidity. The kid lies so effortlessly it actually scares me. I don't know if he's dumb like a fox or just dumb for putting this asinine shit like "I can't tell the difference between fireworks and gunfire" on twatter. Not quite sure how to frame it so we are not attacking these kids personally, because they ARE liars. They are disrespectful little shits. The little "die in" stunts they're pulling, bullying companies into bending to their will, Hogg's outright attempted extortion of Publix.
Meme war is likely not the best way to fight this shit (but that doesn't mean it won't be fun). Counter with facts. Cold, hard facts. I'd like to think that the 18-24 crowd is capable of thinking for themselves if presented with all of the facts. Just requires faith in the generation's ability to actually think instead of being drones who are told what to think, too lazy to do the legwork themselves, etc. Sounds like your students are capable of that but not all teachers bother with making sure their students can think or learn. New generation of teachers from my shithead generation (millennial) just regurgitate information, kids memorize shit, spit it back out for an exam, forget it. They believe the classroom is the place for politics. I could rant about the education system for days.
I'm eating crow. Thought about my comment, did a facepalm. Memes are pretty much the only way to fight that fuckin shit because of how they appeal to people who don't wanna do the digging. They want facts right in front of them. Memes accomplish that goal.
Not just Hogg but Kasky, Gonzalez, and Tarr. Hogg is just a fucking attention whore who has declared himself head of this shit. As a gun owner, he definitely is my enemy. He seeks to deprive me of civil rights. I take great exception to that and it's even more insulting that someone who just graduated high school develops such a superiority complex. He'd trash a WWII vet who fought at Iwo Jima or stormed the beaches at Normandy if he thought it would get him something. He is not just our enemy, he is an enemy to the Constitution. An enemy to freedom and liberty. Who would have thought that a bunch of 18 year olds could be ao threatening to our constitutional republic.
Joe Biden self-defense class. Also, if you hear a noise outside, just load a couple shells of 00 buck into your break barrel, double barrel shotgun and fire off both shells into the air. Erm wait…double barrel…both shells…out of ammo. I'm not sure if he just doesn't think at all before opening his mouth or he does, and this is what he comes up with. Honestly can't say which one is worse. Either way, it's fucking idiotic.
I've actually seen multiple criminal cases where someone actually took Biden's advice and ended up with a felony reckless discharge charge. There's actually the Biden defense being used. "Vice President Biden told me to do it." It doesn't work. I don't know what's worse. Biden giving this advice or people actually listening to him.
50 U.S.C. § 1802
HOWEVER, one GLARING problem with Obama using this statute as basis for warrantless spying…
(a)
(1) Notwithstanding any other law, the President, through the Attorney General, may authorize electronic surveillance without a court order under this subchapter to acquire foreign intelligence information for periods of up to one year if the Attorney General certifies in writing under oath that—
….
(B) there is no substantial likelihood that the surveillance will acquire the contents of any communication to which a United States person is a party; and
Let's see here. Ordering surveillance on US citizens under a statute that expressly prohibits exactly what Obama did. That's a problem.
Both 1984 and Brave New World were required material. Forgot when I first read 1984 but I do recall BNW being required in freshman English. Many students thought that Brave New World was how it should be, minus the test tube babies ("That's wrong!"). They were already brainwashed in the late 90s. They didn't really understand 1984, the message being sent. Which I find difficult, if not impossible to miss. This was back when teachers were given far more latitude than they have now. They think it's just a book rather than a warning to humanity.
They're (students) taught that the government is good. Government will protect you. Government will take care of you. And they drink the Kool-aid. That runs counter to everything we stand for as a nation. I'd estimate 75% of those in my graduating class (of 365) are still blue pilled and like it that way. They don't wanna hear anything that challenges their beliefs. And some have gone on to positions within the government, medicine, tech, etc. It's…staggering to see my childhood friends buy this shit, eat it up and ask for more. Sad.
Obama certainly had a knack for picking morally deficient individuals for his cabinet.
Pedantic.
Affect, verb, "to influence something." Effect, also a verb, "something that is/was influenced." It is the correct usage of the word "effect."
Before or after it began to turn purple (or royal blue in cities like Austin)?
>"Until you are 30 people are basically worthless in their political opinions."
I must agree with that statement as I don't believe that I actually had a grasp on how the world actually works until I hit 30, 31, around that age. All of these 20-somethings I deal with on a daily basis are willfully ignorant. They don't care about what's happening. They don't have skin in the game. Their 401k is managed by someone else. They were essentially given their job whereas I had to fight tooth and nail for mine. They've never had to fight for anything, everything is given to them.
Parents always said I should be a lawyer because I play word games with shit like the word "is." Clinton-esque hair splitting. I don't even know why I jumped on that haha. It's the weekend and the English language is one of the most, if not the most difficult languages to learn much less master. Impossible to master IMO.
I agreed with Hitler on that statement alone. The large majority of 20-somethings (NOW) are clueless idiots. It wasn't always that way. Not even 10 years ago. It's getting exponentially worse. Eventually I will disagree with that statement because the dumbasses who don't understand shit are aging, will soon be in their 30s and still ignorant.
I don't agree with the entirely of Mein Kampf. Yes I know it's from Mein Kampf. I've read it.
Texas sort of reminds me of Illinois. The "city folk" have such contempt for those of us in rural areas. I get shit from "enlightened" people because I hunt. To that, I say fuck you. I'd rather kill my own food than have some Mexican do it for me.
Think Hillary won about 6 counties out of 104 here, the rest went to Trump, and she still won the state by double digits.
Gun storage laws (requiring shit to be locked up) are questionable in terms of constitutionality. How can one have a firearm at the ready for armed self-defense against intruders if they have to jump up, run to the safe, plug in a combo. Especially if they require the safe to be located in some fucked up location in the house.
Fact for the day. Lesbians have a higher incidence of domestic violence when compared to straight and gay men.
I'm tossing red pills everywhere I think that someone may be open. I turned my old lady from an Obama loving, gun hating liberal into a Trump voting, gun LOVING conservative who's 100% redpilled. It was a wonderful accomplishment. I'm very proud…of her. Especially since she's in her 20s and is now trying to redpill her friends, also in their 20s. Not much luck so far but who knows.
Here in Illinois, the second you make entry into a home (forcefully), the home owner may use lethal force. The predicate offense is a forcible felony. So burglary is a forcible felony, therefore lethal force is permitted. Unfortunately, civil liability is still attached even if it's ruled a good shoot. Only way to get civil immunity is to be prosecuted for the "crime" and be acquitted.
