I have a trip to Spain planned in July, so we booked flights immediately as soon as the Strait of Hormuz was threatened. Jet fuel and ticket prices will be going up soon.

Same, going to Spain in August for the eclipse. Bought my ticket first thing Monday. The price was already $300 higher.

I guess I'm too young to have ever heard of the double nickel. I didn't know that piece of slang. Now I understand the title of the classic Minutemen Album "double nickel on the dime." Going 55 on I-10. LOL.

Want it Carter that lowered the speed limits to 55?

I was around 10 and I recall the statements "at 55 you will get it next week".

It won't ever be Trump's fault, but yeah, they definitely don't like it.

You meant they will never admit it's trumps fault, we all know it's trump's fault.

And 11% of those who know prices are up this month blame Biden.

Really.

11% in this poll blamed the increase in gas prices during the last 3 weeks on Biden.

Duh. It was his libtard policies that caused all of the problems that Trump has to fix! Durr...

Most of they know it's his fault too - they just don't care. #suckitlibtards

We are flying to the West Coast for our July vacation and same thing... Booked this week because even though it's higher than I prefer, I don't trust that things won't jump tremendously

Israel running critically low on ballistic missile interceptors​

Israel informed the US this week that it is running critically low on ballistic missile interceptors as the conflict with Iran continues, Semafor reported on Saturday, citing US officials familiar with the matter.

The US has been aware of Israel’s low capacity for months, the report said, adding that it is not running low on interceptors of its own.

“We have all that we need to protect our bases and our personnel in the region and our interests,” a US official told the outlet, adding that Israel is “coming up with solutions to address” their shortage.

“Coming up with solutions” = waiting for us to hand deliver more of ours.

I remember a poll from 2023 or 2024 where 17% blamed Biden for overturning Roe v. Wade.

Trump is calling out NATO for not committing to defend the Strait of Hormuz. Their position is "it's not our war".
He wanted them to bear the costs for defending Ukraine (not our problem), so not much of a surprise. FAFO
Seems like this was a problem that should have been anticipated in advance.
Just sayin'
