if bidan or 0bama did it, they wouldn't care at all.
they give themselves away by calling it "Trump's war" If it was truly the war they object to, they would call it 'the war in Iran'. It is Trump they oppose, not the war.
here comes the 25th amendment ploy again.
gas will be over $8.00 soon. no refineries, gas shipped from the Bahamas, CA has to have a certain formulation, Summer blend-Winter Blend ("Oxygenated Gas") They cannot purchase from another state.

It's eco-nazi pseudo-science.
per GROK:
Yes, California requires a specific gasoline formulation known as California Reformulated Gasoline (CaRFG), which includes distinct seasonal blends—often referred to as "summer blend" and "winter blend"—to meet strict air quality standards set by the California Air Resources Board (CARB). These blends differ primarily in Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) (a measure of how easily the fuel evaporates) and, in certain cases, oxygen content.
Key Differences Between Summer and Winter Blends
Summer Blend (also called summer-grade or low-RVP gasoline):
Features a lower RVP (typically around 7.0 psi for oxygenated fuels or 6.9 psi for non-oxygenated ones) to minimize evaporation and reduce smog-forming emissions during hot weather.
Required during warmer months (generally April/May through October, with exact dates varying by air basin; e.g., through October 31 in many areas).
More expensive to produce due to stricter limits on volatile components like butane.
Contains slightly more energy (about 1.7% higher), which can lead to marginally better fuel economy.
Winter Blend (also called winter-grade):
Has a higher RVP (limits lifted in cooler months) to improve cold-start performance and easier ignition in lower temperatures.
Allows higher butane content (cheaper and boosts octane but increases volatility—not an issue in winter when ozone/smog formation is lower).
Transition to winter blend often occurs earlier in fall if needed (e.g., CARB has issued advisories for early switches during supply issues).
Oxygenated Gasoline ("Oxygenated Gas") Aspect
California's CaRFG program historically required oxygenates (like ethanol or formerly MTBE) to reduce emissions, particularly carbon monoxide (CO).
Year-round oxygen requirements were once part of federal Reformulated Gasoline (RFG) rules, but California successfully sought waivers and adjustments.
Wintertime oxygenated requirements still apply in specific CO non-attainment areas (e.g., Greater Los Angeles Area and Imperial County), mandating a minimum oxygen content (historically around 1.8–2.7% by weight) during winter months (typically November–February or similar) to help reduce CO emissions in colder weather.
In most of the state, oxygen content is no longer strictly mandated year-round (post-MTBE phase-out and EPA waivers), but ethanol is commonly blended (often E10, up to 10% ethanol), and recent changes allow higher blends like E15 under evaluation.
The term "Oxygenated Gas" often refers specifically to the federal winter program, which California complies with in designated areas.
These seasonal switches help balance air quality (reducing evaporative emissions and ozone in summer) with engine performance (better cold-weather operation in winter). Drivers in California often notice slight changes in fuel economy or price during transitions—summer blend tends to give a small MPG boost, while winter blend is cheaper to produce but may reduce efficiency slightly.

I see a divide happening with U.S. Christians.
One camp sees Israel as the chosen key for God's plan, and avoids any criticism for fear of being judged by God.
The other camp sees Israel as a group of "Epsteins", part of the Deep State cabal that seeks to rule and enslave the world in rebellion against God.
It must be a wheat-weeds thing.
