A national gas station chain is reprogramming its pumps in Washington state to accommodate $10-a-gallon fuel as the nation's average gasoline price soars to $4.57-a-gallon, almost twice the $2.41 average during Trump's last month in office. Other gas stations in the state have begun running out of gas as supplies become crunched, with reports saying at least 10 stations have run dry. (Snip) A spokesperson for '76' gas stations confirmed that the national chain has begun reconfiguring its pumps to 'make room' for the possibility of double-digit prices, The Post Millennial reported. The spokesperson for '76' did not comment on

Our economy would grind to a halt with $10/Gallon gas. But perhaps that is what the administration wants.

Team Biden wants $10 gasoline. They also want $10 milk, $15 hamburger and $15 chicken. They are working furiously behind the scenes to dump hyper-inflation on American citizens.

I remember when gas pumps total charge max'd at $9.99, only had 3 digits. That was for about 30 gallons. For my first job I was told to check the total gallons to make sure pump had not turned over. I was 16.

I was listening to an energy analyst today and he is expecting oil at $180/bbl by the end of the year. Today it was $107 on the world market.

A close relative texted me today to say she just paid $5.95/gal for regular at Costco. She lives in Eureka Ca. She said Costco was a dollar cheaper than the other gas stations in town - they are charging $6.95/gal. She said, “Get ready - it’s coming your way!” I live in Nevada. I just paid $4.99/gal yesterday. It will get to the point where people will have to choose between feeding their families or heating their homes or driving to work. This is not sustainable!

A few years back, diesel fuel in Italy and France was running about $9 a gallon. $10 a gallon isn't at all inconceivable any more. They WANT you to not be able to afford to drive your car or truck. This is INTENTIONAL and planned.

Ballot fiasco delays results in Oregon,

OREGON CITY, Ore. — — Thousands of ballots with blurry barcodes that can't be read by vote-counting machines will delay results by weeks in a key U.S. House race in Oregon's primary election, a shocking development that is giving a black eye to a vote-by-mail pioneer state with a national reputation as a leader on voter access and equity. (Snip) Elections workers must pull the faulty ballots from batches of 125, transfer the voter's intent to a fresh ballot, then double-check their entries — a painstaking process that could draw the election out until June 13, when Oregon certifies its vote.

WASHINGTON — The United State Senate on Thursday overwhelmingly passed a $40 billion aid package for Ukraine in its war against Russia. However, three Democratic senators were not present for the final vote, including one from Ohio. Sen. Sherrod Brown was not on the floor due to what is being called a health concern. Brown's office told the Associated Press he woke up "not feeling well" and ended up undergoing tests at George Washington University Hospital, and is currently resting at home. Brown was expected to be a firm "yes" vote on the bipartisan bill, having previously said that Ukraine "needs

Progressive Democrats caught a much-needed break on Tuesday night, after coming up short in an earlier spate of elections this cycle. The progressive left is claiming victory in three key House races in Oregon and Pennsylvania, though votes are still being tallied. Should their candidates prevail, it would give them momentum heading into a busy summer of primary elections, in which Democrats from across the party's ideological spectrum are fighting to ensure their side has the upper hand. The Democrats that surged ahead on Tuesday night "were unashamed in defining that they are progressive," said Kristal Knight, a Democratic strategist

Harley-Davidson Inc (HOG.N) said on Thursday it will suspend vehicle assembly and shipments for a two-week period, excluding those from its electric-vehicle division LiveWire, due to a parts issue related to a supplier. The iconic motorbike maker said the decision was made after a third-party supplier, which was not named, informed Harley about a regulatory compliance matter relating to its component part. The company began outsourcing bike production for shipment to the EU from the United States in 2018 in response to retaliatory tariffs imposed by the EU on steel and aluminum products.

Target shares sank on Wednesday, as surging costs resulted in a big miss in quarterly earnings and a reduced outlook. The stock fell as much as 26% to $159 by midday, the lowest price since November 2020. Target's first-quarter earnings announcement caught the attention of the broader equity market, with US stock futures swinging lower following the release. Consumer staples stocks were the worst-performing during the regular session, with their collective 5% drop fronting the S&P 500's nearly 2% decline.

RALEIGH, N.C. — U.S. Rep. Ted Budd has won a crowded Republican primary for retiring GOP Sen. Richard Burr’s seat in North Carolina. Budd’s win is also a victory for former President Donald Trump, who elevated the little-known congressman with a surprise endorsement nearly a year ago. A super PAC affiliated with the conservative Club for Growth spent millions on ads supporting Budd and attacking his chief rival, former Gov. Pat McCrory, as too liberal. McCrory was considered a moderate in the 14-candidate primary but is best known nationally for signing a “bathroom bill” targeting transgender people in 2016 that

Democrat Adam Frisch, who's hoping to run for the U.S. House of Representatives seat held by Rep.

Frisch planned to stop at barbecue restaurants in towns and cities in Colorado District 3, which Boebert currently represents, on a 1,100-mile campaign tour last week. But poor communication and even worse research led to parts of the tour, including the Pueblo leg, being disastrous. Before the tour, Frisch was told that his campaign

Do you know what it’s technically called when “government takes control of the means of production?” Yeah, that. This afternoon Joe Biden invoked the Defense Production Act giving Health and Human Services the legal authority to control the supplies needed for the creation of baby formula (how it is made), and the authority to determine distribution equity (who gets it). White House – “[T]he authority of the President conferred by section 101 of the Act to require performance of contracts or orders … is delegated to the Secretary of Health and Human Services with respect to all health resources, including the ingredients necessary to manufacture infant formula.”

In what some are calling an epic 'Freudian slip,' former President George W. Bush accidentally called the invasion of Iraq 'wholly unjustified and brutal' while speaking about Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Bush made the embarrassing gaffe in a speech at his presidential center in Dallas, where he spoke about the importance of fair elections and slammed Russia's autocratic system. 'The result is an absence of checks and balances in Russia, and the decision of one man to launch a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq,' Bush said, before shaking his head and correcting himself. 'I mean, of Ukraine.' As the audience fell into awkward silence, Bush muttered
