Out here in the Pacific Northwest diesel is over $7.20 a gallon. As of yesterday.

Michael J. Tardiff's avatar

In Seattle proper, I saw $7.59 just yesterday. $8 can’t be far away.

Eliciafay Aleday's avatar

The $7.20 a gallon was the lowest I saw yesterday and it was at a tribal station. In Everett it was like Seattle.

$8+ coming soon to a venue near you! 🙄

Connie Larsen's avatar

In the PNW Been tracking Fred Meyer gas since 2/28 it was $4.09!

9/15 5.45

Diesel was $7.89. Yesterday

Put in your contacts! Call daily n share!

Just give a name!

Bonnie  Reeves's avatar

Yes, call the number---202--225 3121. Call every day. I will call again and did so yesterday. I said I Nwant to leave a message for that Little Weasil MIke Johnson, who thinks the a-holes in the house need more vacation time. We are so , so, so in trouble and none of our Reps give two hoots. Vote all those bastards O U T.

Bonnie Rudolph's avatar

Call them and tell them they are all finished. The Democrats need to gain control of both houses. Throw Mike Johnson out as House Speaker and impeach Trump, JD Vance and stop Mike Johnson from becoming President.

Lucy Conner's avatar

Yes, call each rep or senator! Ask them for specific instructions on how to cheat on the election since you "took the pledge to the president at his convention". Press them on this! Then tell them the correct answer is that its illegal, and you know that no one will get a big bribe, either!

Patricia Panora's avatar

Know the pain. In CA gas is at 5-6.5 a gallon now.

ConnieW's avatar

That’s regular gas. Diesel is over $8.

Bonnie Rudolph's avatar

And if you buy gas in California, and put it on your credit card the credit card companies will add an additional amount to your card that you will have to pay.

Sue Lunsford's avatar

…so the cost of everything goes up & up!

Bonnie Rudolph's avatar

It's the same in Colorado.

Grace Judson's avatar

Just so everyone is clear, because I know not everyone knows this:

It's CONtrails, not CHEMtrails.

CON for CONdensation.

I've had to explain this to people who aren't the ones fearmongering about airplanes dropping chemicals on us, so ... not everyone understands that it's contrails!

Ian Manning's avatar

Hi from the UK!

Great thread. Could someone from your country explain to a Brit (who thought he was a detailed observer of what's happening in the USA!) just what that lunatic Kennedy suggests is coming from 'contrails'? Again, I am very surprised that in your country you can have a terminally ignorant Health Secretary who appears to ignore all the science available so he can do untold damage to the well being of the people! Why is there no mechanism to prevent him doing this? Good luck to you all and the world hopes along with all sensible Americans for a thrashing of the GOP in the mid-terms!

Grace Judson's avatar

I wish I knew what they think the airplanes are spreading... there is no logic to it.

As for RFK Jr., well, we sadly at this time have a Congress that is not doing its job. He was confirmed by the Senate, including people who *absolutely* should have known better but bent the knee to the cult.

Thank you for understanding that there are a lot of us here who are appalled, outraged, and *not* part of the cult!

Bonnie  Reeves's avatar

Tell us about airplanes dropping chemicals on us. I do not know about that. We can most likely expect anything from the crooks and evil ones.

Grace Judson's avatar

There are no airplanes dropping chemicals on us. That is the *whole point*.

Bonnie  Reeves's avatar

Thanks for clearing that up for me..

Connie Larsen's avatar

Happened in’s.Seattle, Boulevard Park!

Ian Manning's avatar

As Grace says, the idea that there is a conspiracy somehow to cause jet liner exhaust to contain chemicals injurious to human health is up there with Qanon and the moon landings on the backlot at Paramount! Obviously, jet airliner condensation trails do contain ‘chemicals’, mostly water vapour, CO2 and small amount of combustion soot plus a very small amount of unburnt kerosene. Also, the reason that some trails are very large and others much smaller is simply down to how humid the air is at that particular point in the sky. As this all happens at 35,000 feet plus, it will disperse very widely anyway and presents no danger to human health. Of course, the CO2 contributes to global warming but this is one theory the conspiracists won’t believe in as it is ‘fake news’! In the health field, would I be right in thinking that Kennedy also gives credence to the disgraced British ex doctor Andrew Wakefield’s shocking lies about the MMR vaccine causing autism? The man is so spectacularly ignorant that it wouldn’t surprise me!

Grace Judson's avatar

Thank you for that very clear explanation.

And yes, you are correct; he is pretty vocal about that thoroughly debunked lie about vaccines causing autism.

EDIT: To be clear, this comment was in response to Ian Manning's post. These comments seem to be organized a bit randomly.

Bonnie Rudolph's avatar

That is not correct.

Bonnie Rudolph's avatar

I have a great niece who died at 9 months old, 5 days later after receiving the MMR Vaccine. And I met a veteran who told me his baby brother went brain dead after being given the MMR Vaccine. And a late friend of mine, her daughter is a medical doctor. She told her mother that the MMR Vaccine as well as disposable diapers cause autism in children. Her daughter did not use disposable diapers on her two boys. And did not give her sons the MMR Vaccine. We are vaccinating our children entirely too young.

Ian Manning's avatar

I am naturally really sorry to hear of your great niece’s death but I do counsel you against making such claims against a vaccine. Below I have added a proper scientific overview of the vaccine death ratio: it is from a site called ‘biologyinsights.com’. Here it is:

‘ Vaccines cause fatal reactions at a rate so low it is measured in single-digit events per millions of doses, and pinning down a precise number is harder than most people assume. The difficulty is not secrecy or negligence; it is that distinguishing a death genuinely caused by a vaccine from a death that happened to follow one requires forensic, clinical, and epidemiological work that rarely produces a clean tally. What we do know, from compensation programs, autopsy studies, and large population datasets, is that confirmed vaccine-caused deaths are exceedingly rare, while the background noise of coincidental deaths after vaccination is substantial enough to fuel persistent confusion.’

Bonnie Rudolph's avatar

Bonnie, I have known about this for years. Just don't get confused with the jet stream in the sky that is natural for jet engines to produce. The chemicals being sprayed are supposedly one of two things. First Passenger planes can't land with a full fuel tank. It's too dangerous, so they dump jet fuel right into our oceans or a nearby river. The other dump that sprays are chemicals to make the people sick for population control. World Health Organization garbage. And that's if it is true. I have heard this for many years.

Grace Judson's avatar

Given the cost of jet fuel, and the fact that fuel load is part of a very precise weight-and-balance calculation and is gauged to the distance of the flight, the idea that any airplane is dropping fuel before landing is unrealistic. Likewise, the idea that WHO is spraying population-control chemicals is far from what WHO's purpose is!

Ian Manning's avatar

Grace, what you say is completely correct but I fear you are being too kind in using the word ‘unrealistic’. The truth is Bonnie’s assertions are total and complete nonsense, the epitome of fake news! I find it really sad that people are so ready to post patent nonsense without a shred of evidence. The internet is brilliant in many ways but it has also been a bit of a disaster for rational thought!

According to emails from Mary Peltola, the Democrat running for U.S. Senate up in Alaska, outside of the cities in that state, diesel is costing well over $25 a gallon.

Over $25 a gallon.

Gobsmacked.

Connie Larsen's avatar

Down with Sullivan!!! Both of them!!

GO MARY!

Lucy Conner's avatar

Exactly! In Anchorage gas has never gone down below $4 per gallon for regular, ever. The prices outside of urban areas of Anchorage, Fairbanks, etc. - those on the road system, which is not a lot of the state - are outrageous!

Joan C. Harwood's avatar

That’s what you get for living in a godforsaken place that is dark outside half the year and is far away from places that produce food, etc. Imagine how many gallons of diesel it takes to transport the diesel to AK!

Raisingourgrands's avatar

Well maybe if you’re like my husband’s relatives and your ancestors have been living there for over 10,000 years. They’re called Native Alaskans, actually Inuits, only 200,000 of them live in the US and the overwhelming majority live in Alaska. Their culture and language are there. The ANCSA 1971 has resulted in many jobs. Natives have always and still rely on subsistence hunting and fishing.

Joan C. Harwood's avatar

Raising our grands,

I meant no insult to the Inuit.

They have been harmed by the influx of people who want the comforts of the lower 48, many who came for the pipeline work I suppose, and then complain that things cost so much.

Bonnie Rudolph's avatar

The Alaska oil pipeline does not produce the amount of oil that it was built for. Alaska does not have that much oil. The pipeline has never paid for itself because production is to low.

Norm's avatar

Thanks for another edition of TTT, Mary. You know, it used to piss me off to no end when I would read about your degenerate moron uncle wasting our taxpayer dollars on yet another goddamn golf outing. Or traveling to some big sporting event at which he can fall asleep. But, then it occurred to me that anytime he’s away from doing actual presidential things, is probably a net plus for the American people.

Jamie Johnson's avatar

Would anyone be able to tell me what “amazing things” Baby Vance was referring to?

Connie Larsen's avatar

Couch cougar does not think for himself. Couch cougar n lil marco aren’t going anywhere after ‘28 election! Ohio n Florida!!

Pathetic, embarrassing 🍊💩🫏👄ers!!

The man who set Europe’s readiness clock now chairs NATO’s military committee

General Carsten Breuer has spent three years telling Europe it has until roughly 2029 to be ready. He wrote Operationsplan Deutschland, the plan for how Germany mobilises and moves forces across its own territory. As of today he chairs the body that advises NATO’s North Atlantic Council and shapes strategic and nuclear planning.

An argument just became an institution.

The election happened at a chiefs of defence meeting in Copenhagen. Breuer succeeds Italian Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone, who confirmed the outcome and noted that the defence chiefs had placed their trust in Breuer at a demanding time for Euro-Atlantic security.

The handover also changes perspective. From a maritime officer to a continental army general. From sea lines to mass, logistics and the movement of forces across Europe.

He takes office in July next year. Ten months of handover, in a period where ten months is a long time.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Bonnie Rudolph's avatar

Europe is already preparing for WW3. England, has put out an order for all young available men of draft age to sign up for conscription and they are going to start training them early.

Iran controls the strait and Trump controls your household budget. Perfect! Almost 100 years ago the global economy crashed. It can happen.

Patricia Panora's avatar

It will again. It’s how they reset things.

Connie Larsen's avatar

So what is the thought about Iran not opening the strait until Trump n bibi are gone??

Adam's avatar

Well, looks like they got to go ma'am.

MLT: "The cost of diesel has hit an all time nationwide record, which will only drive all other prices up as well. Why? Because trucks need diesel. Ships need diesel in order to move goods."

Something I haven't seen mentioned anywhere is that in the United States and many other countries, DIESEL NEEDS DIESEL! Every trucker bringing everything to market, including gasoline and DIESEL fuel, is watching their costs rise. And the cost of just getting diesel fuel into a tank at a truck-stop is going up as a result. And no amount of sitting in a truck cab pretending to steer it while grinning fatuously is going to reverse that.

Patricia Panora's avatar

Thank you Mary. Once again you’ve hit the proverbial nail on its head.

Mockery is Liberty’s hand maid!

Joanne Miller's avatar

Great report Mary. Thankyou

Molly Ciliberti's avatar

Thank you Mary. This retired old nurse with psych education and experience knows Donald is a malignant narcissist with dementia as you do. It blows me away that he is still president and that the Republicans haven’t removed him from office to protect the country. Unbelievably weak cowardly sycophants.

keariewashburn@gmail.com's avatar

Nurse here too. Saw it in 2016 on TV in public. It is really horrible that people supported him (?) Of course Hillary won the popular vote. Yes, it is so bad and dangerous! His criminally insane condition! To really see how many support and enabling crimes every damn day to everyone! I said before he has a terrorist organization that is funded off the taxpayers and rich depraved despots ! Its really crazy to have to think of what could or could not happen in November! ( besides election, food shortage, and more violence) of course, there is more. WE HAVE TO GET HIM AND ALL OF HIS CULT REMOVED IMMEDIATELY

God help us 🙏

They are part of the grift. IMHO, they are probably reaping the benefits and getting rich(er). Hmm. Maybe there should be figures re how much more money Repubs are worth as compared to their worth upon entering office.

Part of the reason it's hilarious that Rafael is out pimping for the football bill is that college football hasn't been part of "college" for decades; it's a huge moneymaking operation that grifts off the names of the schools that participate in it.

Thank you for the article, Mary. Cruz got booed big time.
