While the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran has sent oil prices soaring, with the national average cost for a tank of gas recently eclipsing $4, experts are now forecasting $6-per-gallon prices as early as this summer, a forecast that one media and political strategist said, if accurate, would lead to an "extinction-level event" for Republicans in the midterms.

Biden's fault.

Actually, this is getting so bad, we can safely blame it on the professional incompetence only a black man can deliver.

Obama's Fault.

Can't happen soon enough

Trump's approval ratings are so low his negative net approval is only bested by Richard Nixon at the time of his resignation.

"GOP facing 'extinction-level event' after gas price forecast"

Good news indeed.

Alexander Willis writes like a good anti-Republican.

But why does he give AIPAC-recipient politicians a free pass?

After all, this was a bipartisan bloc that drove America and the world to this horrible inflection point over 25 years of Benjamin Netanyahu's incumbency in Israel; he and Dummkopf Trumpf were only the matches that set this forest fire.

This is like writing about the appalling number of gun deaths in the US and omitting the NRA in the analysis, or global pollution and skipping over the fossil fuel industry.

So, I looked into this.

In Alexander Willis' few pieces for Raw Story, the word "AIPAC" does not seem to appear once.

More appropriate headline:

"GOP and AIPAC politicians facing 'extinction-level event' after gas price forecast"

See you AIPAC and Republican dinosaurs at the polls on Tuesday 3 Nov 2026.
