Can you imaging how high oil prices could go if Iran gets a nuclear weapon? They would absolutely control and tax the straight of Hormuz and there would be nothing we could do about it except complain and wonder how this happened.

Wow, you guys are really obsessed with oil all of a sudden. I guess that is further proof that the whole Green New Deal thing you guys were pushing a few years ago was a scam all along. Imagine if that pipeline that had minimal environmental impact was built? Trump is right again.

Nobody ignores what COVID did to the economy. What is fact is that Biden and his policies did nothing to counteract that and as a matter of fact made it worse. About 4 to 5% of the 9% inflation was due to Biden.

That is a common misnomer. Terrorism and hate is going to breed no matter what we do. The United States, mostly under Clinton, did jack squat for 15 years, and what did we get in return? The same people who we helped overthrow the Russians then orchestrated 9/11.

Lesson learned? You can't sit back on your laurels, you have to be proactive against radicalism.

Are you asking for a history lesson, a civics lesson or a list of names?

What exactly was "our way" Under Biden, Obama, or GWB that worked so well and how did it work?

If you say so. I think the name alone has become a metaphor ‘wtf has he done now.’
