It’s fine, MAGA. I don’t mind spending $200 filling up my F-250 if Trump says it’s necessary. He knows all and I trust him with my life (and my children).

It's certainly not what we voted for. Nobody I know voted for Democrat style gas prices. Democrat style government takeovers (very happy about the supreme leader being dead) ......

Wonder what gas will be, along with the amount limited, when the Communists take over.

The Obama/Biden appeasement tactics didn't give us cheap gas because they were just ensuring the Iranian bullies stayed in power. At least now, the increased prices are due to taking out the bully, and I expect the prices will trend down again as soon as the job is done. This short pain is worth it for the long run.

It's all fun and games until the music stops and people realize that all the chairs have the dildos of consequence waiting for a sitter.

It’s fine, Dims. We know you have memory loss when it went up under Obama and Biden. You should’ve switched to electric or hybrid like your cult said to, learned to program (big bux! price wouldn’t matter!). We know you’re just complaining to complain because Orange Man Bad.

You should get an EV. You lefties love those fine machines.

The extra $50 is a cheap price to pay, 8:13, to neutralize one of the biggest threats the world has ever faced. And if the other side ever gets their way, you won’t be allowed to drive a gas guzzler like that anyway.

Man oh man -- 10000 words on the contents of a ping pong ball from S.S. once again (respectfully speaking of course). That $0.28 price from 1973 is about $1.80 per gallon today when adjusted for inflation. Are we more energy independent, capable, and diverse today? Yup. Will energy prices come down? Yup. I think 8:13 likely has the right mindset for many reasons which include more than gas prices...

But the new Supeeme Leader is worse than the last one! And you are measuring “winning” based on irrelevant information from Israel regarding who was killed and what buildings got demolished. Meanwhile, no evidence justifying the attack has been released so there is also no evidence that anything was accomplished.

It seems to me as though Sid writes like he wants me to see him as some wise elder statesman, but it always sounds instead like a pronouncement reworded from some lobby’s talking points memo and a quick gloss of a Wikipedia article.

You MAGA cultists and your Cheeto Mussolini have yet to offer a single shred of evidence that there was a threat to the United States.

Like the Jim Jones cult. you and your cult will finally feel the effects of drinking that koolaid when you are replaced and tried for crimes before the statutes of limitations can run out! Buckle up! And pucker up!

There he goes pulling Nixon in to Carter’s debacle. It’s a common trick played by your Democrats. They don’t look so bad if they can Republicans into the messes they make

I was buying gas in the 70s. I don't remember it being a particular hardship at any point in that decade. What I DO remember is the nutball federal 55 mph speed limit. And the song. I also remember diesel being notably cheaper than gasoline - something that hasn't been the case since the 80s. Diesel requires less refining than gas...

@8:53
Everyone should like EV’s.
Teslas are the fastest things on 4 wheels.
Range anxiety is real in an EV but nothing says I can’t own a Tesla and a Lexus. Which I do own both

Sid failed to mention some huge differences:

Prime Interest Rate Rate: 21.5% (Dec 19, 1980).

Key backdrop: 1973 Oil Crisis and 1979 Oil Crisis - Highly dependent on imports - 35–45% of U.S. oil was imported.

Key shift: U.S. Shale Revolution - Near energy independence (net exporter status, no thanks to leftist Democrat s__t eaters). The U.S. produces ~13+ million barrels/day (world’s largest producer). Net exporter of petroleum products (and often crude + products combined).

We are a nation of P____’s today with TDS’ers rooting against the country i.e. for Trump to fail due to their obsessive hatred.

So, no, Everything Old isn’t exactly New Again.

10;00. How did the dems make poor Donald shut down the strait of hormuz?

Can we start being Americans instead of making the political parties richer and richer? Have you seen how much money they have if we never contribute another dime?
Can we decide what issues matter if bothering to learn what states and countries have successful policies and see if any might apply well here? Can't we at least see if other states have solved some of our problems and find out HOW they did that?
All I see is the parties and those we elect get richer and we don't. I don't care which party it is. Name a national politician that didn't increase his or her wealth( even those who were wealthy to start and look how their "funds in trust" did compared to ours), while in office.
Or find out what laws are different than they were when you thought our Nation was it's most peaceful and prosperous. IMHO we have been taken to the cleaners since 1964 by every single Congress...mostly by one sentence in bill that otherwise sounds GREAT!

@9:45. Do you live in an echo chamber? Have you done any studies on modern terrorism? It is the goal of many radical Muslims to complete eradicate western culture. They have roped other countries into their objective, and would gladly annihilate us if they had the opportunity. We are ALWAYS under attack, and I am just thankful hat we have a president in office that won't sit idly by. We were probably the weakest that we had been since Carter while Biden was in office.

So 9:40 thinks nothing’s been accomplished in Iran, and 9:45 thinks Iran posed no threat to the U.S. There is no way to argue with that level of ignorance.

@10:03am - Yeah, but it seems like you have a functioning brain, which is severely lacking in the cultists commenting here.

Voting for bold face liars is nothing new in Missippi, the average voter has been voting against his best interest for the last 25 years that I have lived here. The low taxes and cheap insurance works for me. Fortunately my son has a camp in Louiana where I spend most my time.

Biden was able to drive up oil and gas prices in the absence of a war- due to his nonsensical economic policies.

April 1, 2026 at 9:45 AM, and they all lived happily ever after, right.

April 1, 2026 at 9:45 AM, you have that middle school mind working this morning. Arrested development on display.

April 1, 2026 at 10:04 AM, you drive them both at the same time?

Sid may be the most dishonest writer I have seen. I took a photo of a Chevron gas pump on April 26, 2020 with the price of $1.069. On April 27, 2024 the Chevron price was $3.349. Ole Sid never wrote about that. Nor did Bubba Sid write about Biden draining the Strategic Oil Reserves down to very dangerous levels to push down gasoline prices just before the midterm elections.
