Yep, and I had just purchased a used Benz diesel
telling my son how diesel is always cheaper than
regular gas - doh!
Will help me get in shape riding my bicycle more
often, glad temps and humidity are also cooling down.
The 'Clovis Barrier'... typical 'modern science' - like 'evolution': That's settled so move on!
Isn’t diesel priced higher these days because Bill Clinton imposed regulations that gave his Indonesian buddies (Riadis?) the cat-bird seat for supplying a low-sulfur product? It’s high priced because it has to be shipped in?

Social Security Accelerates Benefits for Some People
https://www.ssa.gov/news/en/press/releases/2025-08-11.html
Social Security Adds 13 Conditions to Compassionate Allowances List
Expedites Decisions for People with Severe Disabilities
The Social Security Administration (SSA) today announced the addition of 13 new conditions to the agency’s Compassionate Allowances (CAL) list. The CAL initiative accelerates the disability application process for individuals with the most serious diseases and medical conditions that, by definition, meet Social Security’s statutory standard for disability benefits.
The newly added conditions are:
Au-Kline Syndrome
Bilateral Anophthalmia
Carey-Fineman-Ziter Syndrome
Harlequin Ichthyosis – Child
Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
LMNA-related Congenital Muscular Dystrophy
Progressive Muscular Atrophy
Pulmonary Amyloidosis – AL Type
Rasmussen Encephalitis
Thymic Carcinoma
Turnpenny-Fry Syndrome
WHO Grade III Meningiomas
Zhu-Tokita-Takenouchi-Kim Syndrome
With the inclusion of these 13 conditions, the CAL list now includes 300 conditions in total. Since the CAL initiative began, over 1.1 million people with severe disabilities have been approved through this accelerated disability process that is fully policy-compliant.

Zelensky is in way over his head - put up and encouraged to foolishness by greedy Europeans... as long as Zelensky remains, the killing will multiply. I hope the Ukrainian people come to their senses and remove this poppinjay! In many ways he is beginning to remind me of Hitler...
Yeah, the 'Special Session' is ending and now they are back. What will happen if Gov. Abbot suddenly declares another special session? We went through this before a few years ago.
I have to laugh when the 'Rats run away in the face of a defeat and their brothel media called that 'courage'.
Wow, thats telling - and the lie and minute Media was all in on telegraphing that Ivermectin was deadly dangerous for human use.
They all should be investigated.
is that an additional fifty cents to tax that was already on Gasoline?
And remember at the time of this, these Indian and Paks were getting interest free govt loans plus other free benefits - from Uncle Sham...

6,000 Patents Hidden By The Government | U.S. Invention Secrecy Act Be sure to read thru the comments below the video:

In 1998, Stanley Meyer claimed to invent a car that ran on water. Days later, he was dead—and his invention disappeared. But Meyer wasn’t the only one. There’s a federal law, still active today, that allows the U.S. government to classify and bury private inventions deemed a “threat.” It’s called the Invention Secrecy Act—and it’s already been used over 6,000 times.
From Nikola Tesla’s wireless energy to Townsend Brown’s anti-gravity tech to Joseph Papp’s engine that ran on noble gases, history is littered with breakthrough inventors who vanished into obscurity... and whose technologies never made it to the public.
This episode uncovers the case studies, the hidden power of secrecy orders, and the chilling question: What else have they buried?
Relief: I doubt you’ll see a change in your SS deposit this soon. The “relief” that’s in the BBB is a tax exemption for SS benefits and you won’t see that until you get your year-end statement. It will tell you what the taxable amount might be, if any. This will benefit those who have been receiving SS bennies long enough to have gotten back all their contributions.
Premium, the only gas I buy is down 52 cents/gal. $3.40 still sucks.
Diesel is cheaper? Well, you used to be right. Diesel didn’t have highway tax until the 70’s after the Arabs screwed up the fuel market. Used to run about half the price of gas. But I can still buy “off road” diesel for my tractors and that has no road tax.
I seem to remember it was the Volkswagen diesel that that first put diesel into cars, in the US, and that made the Pols greedy. Mercedes had diesels going way back but there weren’t many of them here.
Iver should be OTC and priced @ 1 cent/mg just like you can get it in India.
89 octane, or 91? Local station I go to has 91 for $3.89/gal. I think the 89 was $3.69. Better than under Diaper Joe, but def higher than it should be.
