The dissatisfaction threatens to doom Republicans' attempts to keep control of Congress in this year's midterm elections.

Big oil got us into the two Bush Iraq wars, into this Iranian war...and so on and so on, they see that all the oil under Middle East sand belongs to them...when the Iranians nationalized their own oil we murdered their democracy and installed the murderous Shah.

This is NOT what big oil wanted, mostly because the bombing has destroyed billions of infrastructure used by oil companies to move, process and refine crude oil. Of course, Der Dotard scarcely asked for or listened to input from oil executives (See also: Rex Tillerson), yet those folks are finding out what happens when they support a mentally ill criminal insurrectionist and golf cheat...

Brent crude is the more significant global benchmark for determining gasoline prices. Currently at $107+.

$4+ gas is coming everywhere. Got my 100 "I did that" stickers in the mail this week, Trump pointing to the right. My wife gassed up this morning and left a couple; one pointing to the total and the other to the price per gallon.

He did that all by himself. Inflation is going to rise significantly on top of already higher prices thanks to Trump's tariffs. Everything we buy is shipped and delivered on trucks that use diesel. $6 a gallon so far around here. And rising. Just like the prices on everything are now thanks to the "NO MORE ENDLESS WARS" Dotard and his tariffs.
