From William Weir...Author, Journalist, Minister

Briefly. Gas prices got as low as $1.87 in February 2016 under Obama, holding steady around $2.30 until Trump took office. From there they rose steadily until October 2018, reaching a peak of almost $3.00. As the economy continued to flounder under Trump (2018 saw the worst year for the stock market since the 2008 housing crisis; the Fed lowered interest rates in 2019 for the first time since Bush was President to try to prevent a recession), prices fell slightly, holding around $2.65 until the pandemic.

Once Trump mishandled the pandemic and the country began shutting down, demand for fuel dropped and prices fell, reaching $1.93 in April 2020—almost as low as a year before Trump took office. Trump then stated that low gas prices (during a financial crisis) was bad for America. He pushed OPEC into a two year deal to slash production to drive up prices. (This is probably the only thing in his failed Presidency that he successfully accomplished.) Gas prices began to rise immediately and continued to rise until Biden took office.

Once Biden reopened the country, people started driving normally again and the global oil shortage Trump created drove prices up even faster. Prices continued to climb until Trump’s OPEC deal ended in May 2022, peaking at just over $5.00 in June. Then normal production resumed and prices began to fall again. Currently prices are hovering around $3.00 a gallon, about where they were at the end of 2018—the last time the economy was considered reasonably stable under Trump.

So long story short, Trump’s failed economy did lead to gas prices dipping before reaching a record high because of his OPEC deal, but thanks in part to record high domestic oil production under Biden, gas prices are back in line with where they were before the “Trump Slump” despite global inflation driving prices up on almost everything else.

So let’s adjust the numbers for global inflation. The $2.30 under Obama in 2016 would be $2.97 in today’s dollars. That $3.00 under Trump in 2018 would be $3.71 in today’s dollars. The $2.65 we averaged in 2019 would be $3.22 in today’s dollars. So adjusting for inflation, gas prices now under Biden are lower than they were before the pandemic under Trump, and only slightly higher than they were in the final year of Obama’s Presidency.

Where do you get this stuff, I know for a fact, that in 2017, in a circle k in tucson, gas prices hit an all time low of $0.87 a gallon, (had the picture on my old phone), for three months straight....and that was when a barrel of crude was -$69 a barrel. So the post is false.

The easiest way to assess what support may have been lost by Trump and Biden over the past four years might be to look at the people who worked for them in the White House. The people that were right there as they governed, who saw first hand how well they did the job.

We know that Mike Pence isn’t supporting Trump. That’s the Vice President.

Bill Barr, Trump’s Attorney General - not supporting Trump.

John Bolton, Trump’s National Security Advisor - not supporting Trump.

General McMaster, Trump’s other National Security Advisor - not supporting Trump.

Mark Esper, Trump’s Defense Secretary - not supporting Trump.

General Mattis, Trump’s other Defense Secretary - not supporting Trump.

Tom Bossert, Trump’s Homeland Security Advisor - not supporting Trump.

Miles Taylor, DHS Chief of Staff - not supporting Trump.

Rex Tillerson, Trump’s Secretary of State - not supporting Trump.

Mike Pompeo, Trump’s other Secretary of State - not supporting Trump.

Ty Cobb, Trump’s White House lawyer - not supporting Trump.

Alex Azar, Trump’s Secretary of Health - not supporting Trump.

General Kelly, Trump’s Chief of Staff - not supporting Trump.

Betsy DeVos, Trump’s Secretary of Education - supported DeSantis.

Mick Mulvaney, Trump’s other Chief of Staff - not supporting Trump.

General Milley, Trump’s Chairman of the Joint Chiefs - not supporting Trump.

Dan Coats, Trump’s Director of National Intelligence - Not supporting Trump

Trump’s Press Secretaries, Sarah Matthews and Stephanie Grisham, and his Communications Directors Anthony Scaramucci and Alyssa Farah Griffin - not supporting Trump.

In fact, out of 44 people asked, who served in Trump’s cabinet, just 4 have endorsed him. 90% of them are not supporting Trump for re-election.

If you find any members of Biden’s cabinet that do not support his re-election, let us all know know. Because as far as I know, there aren’t any.

Maybe somebody could explain why any ordinary America voter would support Donald Trump’s re-election bid when most of the people who served in his last government job won't.

Preparing to say goodbye... a message from Clint Eastwood

My Twilight Years at 90. If you realize each day is a gift, you may be near my age. As I enjoy my twilight years, I am often struck by the inevitability that the party must end.

There will come a clear, cold morning when there isn't any "more." No more hugs, no more special moments to celebrate together, no more phone calls just to chat. It seems to me that one of the important things to do before that morning comes is to let every one of your family and friends know that you care for them by finding simple ways to let them know your heartfelt beliefs and the guiding principles of your life so they can always say, "He was my friend, and I know where he stood.”

"So, just in case I'm gone tomorrow, please know this: I voted against, Biden, that incompetent, lying, flip-flopping, insincere, double-talking, radical socialist, terrorist excusing, bleeding heart, narcissistic, scientific and economic moron that spent eight years in the White House with Obama trying to destroy our wonderful country and turn it into Muslim loving, socialist crap hole like Obama came from and I don't mean Hawaii! Participating in a gun buy-back program because you think criminals have too many guns is like having yourself castrated because you think your neighbors have too many kids.”

Regards, Clint

Hmmm. Perhaps then I wasn't clear on your question. The Biden administration has violated the 1st amendment, the 2nd amendment, the 4th amendment, the 6th amendment, the 7th amendment, and the 8th amendment blatantly and frequently.


And we should force the government to invoke the 25th amendment

Most of what he posted there is true, however, how does one explain, that the atheist, with no belief in God can become whole?

Now what do I mean by this comment? Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, pondered the mysteries of life, in ancient days. In fact it was Aristotle, that taught Alexander. And Alexander was considered as Alexander the Great.

Atheism is human, therefore, it is fallible. Atheism is a religious, due to the fact that human beings are religious by nature, and Atheism is just that anti religion. Belief in no God, is just as powerful as belief in a God. It is a lifestyle. And in time that lifestyle bears fruit.

This is not a religious view point, but a view point of reason. Man has determined how his thoughts and lifestyle shall be. The lack of God in the viewpoint of Man, brings Man to a place of being pessimistic. Where one who believes in God is optimistic. It is just a perspective that's all it is. A religious person has a different perception on life, than an atheist. That's all it is.

Just like an optimistic person always hopes for the best, the pessimist always fears the worst. The optimist expects the better, and the pessimist expects the worst. This is perception, not religion. That is what you wrote about. Man is equal in all ways, therefore the religious is equal with the anti religious.

The philosophy from Christian circles, that you mentioned, serves the Greek and Roman philosophy quite well in concerning God, "Either you are for me, or you are against me" ; this is a Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, philosophy that has been completed by the Christians. And for intended perception is true. Thus, with in this perception, you must also state the other Judeo-Christian philosophy, when combined with Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, "How can the imperfect judge the imperfect?", the answer is "Hate the Sin, not the Sinner"........

This concept would have never come to be, by those who follow anything as blind sheep and never challenging what they believe to be true, and just accepting what they think. In order to challenge a principle, thought or process, it is necessary to have the being of what is being tested, and the anti being of what is being tested. Only through that dynamic can one understand....as what is demonstrated above. If taken to full circle, and the hope is it is, the subject will change from Athiest to Christian.

Reminds me of the church song that I love to sing:


"Make me a channel of your peace.
Where there is hatred let me bring your love.
Where there is injury, your pardon, Lord
And where there's doubt, true faith in you.

Make me a channel of your peace
Where there's despair in life, let me bring hope
Where there is darkness, only light
And where there's sadness, ever joy.

Oh, Master grant that I may never seek
So much to be consoled as to console
To be understood as to understand
To be loved as to love with all my soul.

Make me a channel of your peace
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned
In giving to all men that we receive
And in dying that we're born to eternal life.

Oh, Master grant that I may never seek
So much to be consoled as to console

The next "Great American Eclipse" is three weeks from today. For 3 to 4 minutes (depending where you live) the sun will be covered by the new moon and the earth in the path of the eclipse will be dark as at night.

After the great flood, God made this promise in Genesis 8:22:

“As long as the earth endures,
seedtime and harvest,
cold and heat,
summer and winter,
day and night
will never cease.”

My question - what would God's people in antiquity have thought when the first total eclipse of the sun after Noah occurred?

Job talks about God speaking to the sun "so it does not shine" - but it's almost matter of fact.

All other possible mentions of an eclipse in the Bible (that I remember) are predicting The End.

There was an eclipse during the ten plagues of Egypt... there were other eclipses like with Josua when Israel marched in the land of Canaan.

Maybe in a few days, I write two other topics, and reverse it. Yeah make it like this:
"Now that we've seen the constitutional amendments were violated by the government against Biden and Trump.....Since they were both president, what amendments did they break as president?"

I want the Liberals to be the prosecution against Trump, and the defense for Biden. Defend your position.
I want the Conservatives to be the prosecution against Biden, and the defense for Trump. Defend your position.

And I want the rest of us, to judge the two men's fate, based upon the evidence brought forth.... If that went viral, imagine the media storm that would occur....lol
