Promises Made, Promises Kept: Memorial Day Set For Lowest Gas Prices in Over 20 Years

 Breitbart Economy   

Americans celebrating Memorial Day by hitting the road will likely be paying the cheapest gas prices since 2003.

"GasBuddy, a fuel savings platform, said Tuesday that it forecasts the national average price of gasoline to be $3.08 per gallon on Memorial Day. That would make it the cheapest since 2021 in nominal terms. After adjusting for inflation, it would be the lowest since 2003.

"This is not expected to be short-lived. Prices of gasoline are expected to average around $3.02 per gallon between Memorial Day and Labor Day, with prices falling below three dollars on some days.

"That’s likely to bring cheer to the 69 percent of Americans who plan on taking a road trip this summer.

“American road trip culture remains resilient,” GasBuddy said in a news release announcing their 2025 Summer Travel Survey.

"Last summer, the national average price of gasoline was $3.58 per gallon on Memorial Day. This year’s lower price reflects increased oil production that has lowered crude oil prices. A barrel of Brent Crude, the global standard for oil prices, is currently priced at $65.07, down significantly from the $83.71 a year ago.

"GasBuddy’s calculation that this year will see the lowest Memorial Day gasoline prices since 2003 excludes 2020, when gasoline and oil prices went into free fall thanks to pandemic measures that discouraged travel." . . .

Trump, however, gets the laugh last on this as Americans get cheaper gasoline in time for the summer road trip season.

What Biden’s Team Isn’t Saying

Victor Davis Hanson: Prostate Cancer Doesn’t Develop Immediately. What Biden’s Team Isn’t Saying

"Why did Joe Biden's medical team announce right now—on the eve of the release of “Original Sin”—this shocking story that the president, who just left office 100 days ago, was suffering from a very seriously rare, malignant form of prostate cancer, asks Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:”   “ 'President—he was vice president, he was president, now he's an ex-president. They are accorded the best, most comprehensive diagnostic medical care in the world. Isn't it true that Joe Biden would've known about this? We just had a report—right before he stepped down, in the summer of 2024—an exhaustive medical report, that he was fine. But he is trying to tell us, or sadly, his team is trying to tell us that, just in a matter of nine months, he developed a prostate cancer unknown to all of his doctors. Unknown—that didn't appear on any of his diagnostic tests.”

Prostate Cancer Doesn’t Develop Immediately. What Biden’s Team Isn’t Saying

The Cancerous Lies of the Corporate Joe Biden   . . ."The actual Joe Biden would be a pitiable figure, especially given current events, which most notably include Monday’s revelation that he has advanced prostate cancer that has spread to his bones, but for a couple of problems.

"One of them being that the actual Joe Biden is a dirty son of a bitch.

"This is a career politician who enriched himself at the expense of the American people in countless ways, and the more is known about him, the more contemptible he becomes. But we’ve known about the actual Joe Biden and what a lowlife he was going all the way back to his baptism as a U.S. Senator. Biden, after all, made his first substantive vote in the Senate against the Alaska oil pipeline… in the middle of the 1973 Arab oil embargo. (RELATED: Biden’s Bizarre Confession Should Infuriate Democrats)

"And he was with the KGB-sponsored Nuclear Freeze movement during the 1980s.

Whoopi Goldberg ‘Can’t Point to Anything’ Showing Biden was Unfit for Office  

Broc Smith

In 2020, Whoopi Goldberg said on The View that the future first lady could become surgeon general if Joe Biden won the presidency, calling her a "hell of a doctor."  "I'm hoping Dr. Jill becomes the surgeon general, his wife," Goldberg said."Joe Biden's wife. She would never do it, but yeah, she's a hell of a doctor. She's an amazing doctor." . . .

Democrats’ Confederacy of Dunces

J.B. Shurk  

That’s where Crockett comes in.  Her chief contributions to public debate consist of (1) calling Trump and his voters “racist,” (2) comparing them to “Nazis,” and (3) explaining to like-minded TV hosts why non-white voters must get back on the Democrat plantation posthaste. . ."That’s probably good enough for CNN and MSNBC, but I’m not sure she can hate white people all the way to the White House.  As Ice Cube might say, “Bye, Felicia.”

"Three hundred years ago, the remarkable satirist Jonathan Swift wrote, “When a true Genius appears in the World, you may know him by this infallible Sign; that the Dunces are all in Confederacy against him.”

"Now, you might not be President Trump’s biggest fan.  Perhaps you are glad that he has returned to the White House but look forward to one of his capable lieutenants succeeding him in four years.  But I would argue that never has a larger collection of absolute idiots assembled to oppose an American leader, and for that reason alone, Donald J. Trump is probably a genius.  (And a very stable one at that!)

"Right now, Democrats are waging a public relations campaign in support of criminal illegal aliens.  They are trying to make military-aged males with gang tattoos look sympathetic.  Sure, many of them have been accused of engaging in human-trafficking, drug-smuggling, identity theft, and fraud, but Democrats say these “new” Americans are just like us.  Sure, foreign nationals are regularly accused of rape and murder across the United States, but Democrats are quick to point out that “old” Americans commit heinous crimes, too.  Sure, illegal aliens are a huge financial burden to the prison system, welfare programs, health care, public schools, and local communities, but Democrats insist that it’s “racist” to tell the truth out loud.  

"While President Trump is rounding up violent criminals who have no right to be in the United States, Democrats are crying in front of cameras and promising to bring them back to a neighborhood near you.  In four months, they’ve shown more love for foreigners who broke into our country than they’ve ever shown for American victims of transnational cartels!" . . .

. . ."So Crockett must be furious that Democrat donors are planning to support, in her words, “the safest white boy” in 2028.  You don’t think she’s talking about Eric Swalwell, do you?  You know, the guy who got a little too close to Chinese communist spy Fang Fang and suffers from flatulence when speaking on live TV?  Because Swalwell is not only one of the dumbest members of Congress, but also one of the dumbest Americans not to have a lucrative career in cable news." ...

Newsom Can’t Memory-Hole What He Did to California

. . ."Newsom’s never-ending spending will inevitably leave Californians facing fiscal disaster and higher taxes when he leaves the governorship in 2027. And that will be impossible to hide. When Newsom runs for president, he will be dogged by the wreckage he left in California."

Netanyahu: Israel Will Defeat Hamas, Bring Back Hostages!

 Dr. Rich Swier, Ed.D.  

 "The prime minister vowed that the campaign against Yemen’s Houthis was “not over” and issued another warning to Tehran. 

"The goal of the intensified military operation in Gaza announced by Israel on Sunday is twofold: defeating Hamas and releasing the hostages, according to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

"“These two goals are intertwined, and we will achieve them,” the premier said on Sunday in a video posted on X.

"Netanyahu further stated that the Israel Defense Forces was “pounding” Yemen’s Houthi rebels with “great force,” noting that the campaign against the Houthi threat is “not over.”

"He emphasized that Iran is the one responsible for backing and pushing the Houthis in their hostilities toward the Jewish state.

" 'We are looking at Iran as well,” Netanyahu stressed.

"The Israeli leader went on to disclose that the Security Cabinet had approved on Sunday the establishment of a new border fence along Israel’s eastern border with Jordan—from the southernmost point of the Golan Heights in the north to the Red Sea in the south.

"The fence will emulate the one on Israel’s southern border with Egypt, Netanyahu said, which had successfully blocked the infiltration of “a million illegal immigrants from Africa.”

"Netanyahu stressed that the fence would not halt “massive invasions,” but is an effective tool against illegal immigration and lone terrorists.

"He further said that Jerusalem was doing “more things” to prevent large-scale attacks from the east, but did not go into detail.

"Lastly, the prime minister commended Israeli singer Yuval Raphael  for winning second place in the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 Grand Final in Basel, Switzerland, on Saturday night.

" 'After fighting for her life and defeating Hamas,” Netanyahu said, “she stood on that tower and said ‘Am Yisrael Chai’ [The people of Israel live]—and received the [warm] embrace of the European public … I was moved like every [Israeli] was moved.”

"Raphael, 24, who survived the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas massacre at the Nova music festival, took the Eurovision stage under heightened political tension, with boos from some in the audience protesting Israel’s participation, as well as pro-Palestinian protests outside....

Fetterman: Israel ‘deserves much better from my party’

Jewish Insider   

"The Pennsylvania Democratic senator’s criticism of his party drew loud applause from pro-Israel activists""

>

" As Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) faces attacks from the media and fellow lawmakers in the Democratic Party, he hit back at members of his own party on Tuesday in remarks to a group of bipartisan activists in Washington.

"Speaking to members of NORPAC, a pro-Israel advocacy organization, Fetterman offered some of his sharpest criticism yet of the Democratic Party’s approach to Israel after the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks.

" 'Israel and your community deserves much better from my party,” Fetterman said, earning loud applause. 

"He described how American universities have produced a “monoculture that produced, actually, rampant antisemitism,” and called to address it — but suggested Democrats are not interested in doing so. 

" '“We have to address that. But in my party, you will pay a price,” said Fetterman. “That’s OK. I think that’s what defines character … that you’re going to support things even if it moves against your own political interest.”

"Several recent reports have suggested that Fetterman is struggling with mental health challenges, which Fetterman has denied. "

 Lia Thomas Cannot Compete as a Woman in the Olympics 

Thomas is a big, strong man physically, not a woman. He wanted to steal the title from women which makes him a grifter.

  "Lia Thomas lost his last battle to compete for the Olympics in 2028.

"Lia Thomas, a man who is a trans woman, made national headlines in 2022 after winning an NCAA individual title. However, he will not be allowed to compete in elite women’s races, including the 2024 Olympics, after the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled this week that s/he lacks standing for her/his challenge to the rules of swimming’s world governing body."

Bill Maher Slams Tom Hanks Over His Portrayal of MAGA Supporters As Racists – ‘You’re Just Hysterical’

Rusty Weiss 

"But I’m telling you, as a liberal, I don’t like it," added Maher. "When the premise isn’t real, I can’t go with — the joke is not gonna work. The premise has to ring true. That premise doesn’t ring true."

"An occasionally red-pilled Bill Maher teed off on Tom Hanks and Saturday Night Live for a skit earlier this year involving the actor portraying MAGA supporters as racists.

"The skit in question involved Hanks portraying a Trump supporter who was too terrified to shake the hand of a black man.

"Jillian Michaels was a guest on Maher’s "Club Random" podcast on Sunday, and the fitness icon went after SNL for their insistence on casting Trump supporters as these fictitious 'deplorables' bordering on a hate group.

" 'I hated it," Maher said of the Hanks skit. "Wearing the MAGA hat, not shaking hands with a black person. And that’s when I thought, ‘You people don’t know MAGA people.’”

"The comedian pointed out that every group has racist outliers, but MAGA being painted with a broad brush is reprehensible.

" 'Generally, all the MAGA people I know have no problem shaking hands with a black person," Maher explained. "You’re just hysterical, and you’re not helping.” . . .

"My RedState colleague Nick Arama pointed out at the time that, as with most of the vitriolic hate comedy levied at President Trump and his supporters, it lacked one key element of a funny sketch—humor.

It's not even funny, it's just stupid. Nothing says 'out-of-touch' with most of America, including 77 million Trump supporters.

Ex-Air Force Aide Reveals Harsh Atmosphere in Clinton White House, Labeled Hillary Clinton as ‘Nazi Schoolmarm’

RTM 

“We used to say that when Hillary was gone, it was a frat party. When she was home, it was Schindler’s List,” he wrote.

 "A former Air Force officer who once held one of the most critical jobs in the U.S. government is now speaking out about the chaos and fear that allegedly surrounded Hillary Clinton during her husband’s presidency — offering a rare, unfiltered glimpse behind closed doors.

"Lt. Col. Buzz Patterson, who served as the Senior Military Aide to former President Bill Clinton from 1996 to 1998, said his time inside the White House was shaped less by the commander-in-chief and more by his wife’s commanding presence. 

"Patterson, who carried the “nuclear football” during Clinton’s administration, described a toxic culture shaped by Hillary Clinton’s unpredictable and allegedly hostile behavior.

" 'When I first arrived to work in the White House, my predecessor warned me: ‘You can get away with pissing off Bill but if you make her mad, she’ll rip your heart out,’” Patterson wrote in a post on X." . . .

"When asked by an X user what had caused friction between him and the former president, Patterson shared an incident where he refused Clinton’s request to visit a restaurant because the location hadn’t been cleared by the Secret Service, per Trending Politics.

"The president was reportedly furious — but Patterson said even that paled in comparison to the consequences of upsetting Hillary.

"Now a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump, Patterson’s candid recollections offer a window into what he describes as the behind-the-scenes dysfunction of one of America’s most powerful political families." . . .

"US Attorney Alina Habba announced federal charges against Democrat Rep. LaMonica McIver for assaulting ICE agents.

“ 'Today my office has charged Congresswoman McIver with violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 111(a)(1) for assaulting, impeding and interfering with law enforcement,” Alina Habba said on Monday evening.

“ 'No one is above the law — politicians or otherwise,” Alina Habba said."

" 'After a thorough review of the video footage of Delaney Hall and a full investigation from HSI, the U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey has made the determination to charge Congresswoman LaMonica McIver for assaulting, resisting, and impeding law enforcement officers,” Noem said.

" 'No one is above the law. If any person, regardless of political party, influence or status, assaults a law enforcement officer as we witnessed Congresswoman McIver do, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” Noem said.

“ 'We thank our brave ICE law enforcement officers for their service to this great nation,” she added." . . .

Impeach Jill for being a lousy wife: . . ."Time to depose. Time to prosecute."

 Silvio Canto, Jr.  

All eyes have to be on Mrs. Biden and the family. They've been living off Joe for their whole lives. He brought in the money for a certain son and nice travel for a certain wife. It was fun as long as it lasted, and the hell with Joe!

Noble Works

 "We wish former President Biden the best. I pray for his recovery. Honestly, I hope that Jill plans to go to confession and admit that she loved the title of First Lady a lot more than being a devoted wife. My guess is there a lot of ladies in the country who can't believe her disregard for Joe Biden's health and well-being. Again, she loved the title and staff.

"And now there is prostate cancer:

"The 82-year-old* former president was diagnosed Friday after doctors found a “small nodule” on his prostate during a medical exam earlier this month -- with the cancer cells having spread to the bone, his spokesman revealed Sunday.

"His team said the cancer had been graded a Gleason score of 9, suggesting his form was among the most aggressive.

"A handful of medical experts were quick to question how the former president could be diagnosed at such a late stage -- especially given that prostate cancer can be detected early with routine bloodwork, which is recommended for men over the age of 50.

“ 'It is inconceivable that this was not being followed before he left the Presidency,” Dr. Howard Formman said in a post on X." . . .

Trump DOJ Appointee Leo Terrell Suggests Criminal Charges Against Jill Biden: “Elder Abuse!”

. . ."Terrell’s implication was unmistakable: Jill Biden may have knowingly concealed her husband’s serious health decline during his presidency and subjected him to undue stress by propping him up for another grueling presidential campaign—all for political gain." . . .

Don Surber: Biden's Exit: The Cancer Cover-Up Was Always the Plan . . ."The sentiment of sympathy is understandable. The skepticism is justified. The shock, however, ought to be tempered. Because the real scandal is not that Joe Biden has cancer. The scandal is that everyone close to the presidency appears to have known long before the public did. And they exploited it."   

The timeline matters. Biden announced his reelection bid in April 2023. By every medical probability, he was already living with prostate cancer then. More gravely, he was also exhibiting visible signs of cognitive decline: halting speech, mental fog, inexplicable lapses. These were dismissed by the press as right-wing smears, ageism, or “cheap fakes.” But his medical condition, physical and neurological, was no secret to those closest to him.

Media Trips Up Again, Claims Pope Snubbed Vance - Here's the Private Meeting They Had, Gifts Exchanged

 RedState

"I said in my prior story that Vance and Rubio should work on communication with the Pope so he isn't just getting media spin about the Trump administration, and it looks like they were on that during the visit."  Nick Arama

U.S. Vice President J.D.Vance and U.S.Secretary of State Marco

Rubio sitting before His Holiness Pope Leo XIV.

"I reported how Pope Leo XIV greeted Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio after the Pope's inaugural Mass on Sunday. It was also interesting to see the Pope's brother sitting right next to Vance and his wife in the American delegation during the mass. Lou Prevost is a big Trump supporter and a fan of Vance, so that must have been fun. 

"But the media was at it again, spinning away about the greeting. Check out this headline from The Daily Beast, painting the greeting as a "snub" on Sunday.

. . . "Vance told the Pope that many Americans were very excited about his selection. He also gave him a letter from President Donald Trump and the First Lady, inviting the Pope to the White House. 

"He and the Pope even exchanged gifts. Vance gave him a Chicago Bears jersey with his name and number. He also gave the Pope - who is an Augustinian priest -  two books by St. Augustine, the "City of God" and "On Christian Doctrine."   . . .

The Jews and God's plan throughout history

The American Catholic  

"Everyone who ever received a Christmas present can say “Thank You” to this Jewish infant. Every mother and father who heard a child say “I love you!” on Christmas morning can thank this little Jewish baby."

. . . The Chosen People

"Of all the people on earth, in all of human history, God chose the people of Israel to be the people from whom His own Son would be born. Before the universe was created, before a babe was born in Bethlehem of Judaea, it was known to God that God the Son, Jesus Christ, would be a Jew.

"God has never canceled His promises to the Jews. (Romans 11:1–2, 28-29; 9:4–5; Jeremiah 31:35–37). His covenants with them are still in place.

"This Chosen People, the Jews survived slavery and the plagues in Egypt. They survived the exodus and then wandering in the desert for 40 years. Daniel prophesied four of these exiles Babylon (423 BC – 372 BC); Persia/Media (372 BC – 348 BC); Greece 371 (BC – 140 BC); and Greece (371 BC – 140 BC). They survived all of them, and survived many more exiles, deportations, ethnic cleansings, persecutions, banishments, pogroms, and expulsions.

"Thank God He chose the Jews. Thank God the Jews survive.

The First Canonized Saint

"Jesus was crucified with two other Jews. One of them – called “Dismas” in tradition – humbly asked Jesus, from his own cross, to remember him when He came into His kingdom. Jesus replied: “And Jesus said to him: Amen I say to thee, this day thou shalt be with me in paradise.” (Luke 23; 43). Thank God for this Jewish saint.

"There are a plethora – a whole bunch – of Jews who are saints, canonized and not. Thank God for all of them.

The Twelve Apostles

"Jesus chose twelve Jews to be his first apostles. The man who replaced Judas was a Jew – Matthias. St. Paul, son of Kish, was a Jew. The 72 disciples were Jews.

St. John the Baptist

"Of all those born of women, Jesus declared: “Amen I say to you, there hath not risen among them that are born of women a greater than John the Baptist.” (Matthew 11:11).  John the Baptist was a Jew." . . .

And we must be aware it was Jesus alone, no other fallen human we turn to for Salvation and worship. TD

The Consistency of “No Savior But Me” with Jesus as Savior 

. . ."The statement “there is no Savior but Me” (Isaiah 43:11) and the New Testament affirmation that “salvation is found in no one else” (Acts 4:12) converge to uphold a single divine plan. Scripture maintains that God alone saves. In the New Testament, Jesus is revealed as God incarnate, accomplishing that very salvation.

"Throughout the Gospels, Jesus demonstrates the authority uniquely attributed to God: forgiving sins (Mark 2:5-11), controlling nature (Mark 4:39-41), and receiving worship (Matthew 14:33). In the Old Testament, only Yahweh possessed such authority. This continuity shows the same divine identity at work in both Testaments."
