Has anyone noticed a drop in gas prices? Curious what other parts of the US are seeing right now. In Texas, it’s currently $1.99.

It was $2.17 last Thursday then on Friday it dropped to $2.15…then today $1.99. It was $3.20 the first part of last week. I am wondering why. And if it’s headed to other states.

I sure hope it comes this way. I am seeing anywhere from $2.59 to $3.74 in our town

Ruth gas is cheaper in Texas because that’s where the oil is! Duh lol

Maybe, but that is the cheapest it’s been in YEARS.

Yes I agree there is something going on with the oil prices. I own some mineral rights in Oklahoma. From time to time I have leased these to different oil companies. Two weeks ago I got a letter from a Landman who wants to buy them. That’s the first time an oil company has wanted to purchase instead of lease. I’m not ready to sell yet.

Well the Epstein files are slowly coming out. The dems wanted them out to prove something. Now that it doesn’t appear to prove what they wanted and they sit with egg on their faces, they claim they are fake. Smh.

Randall Moore (goodreadscomrandall_moore) | 48 comments We just dropped below $3 per gallon in Idaho, last seen at $2.85 at a mainstream gas station. I get it for less at Walmart and Costco. One reason we’re not the cheapest is all our gas is refined in Utah.

Well it’s still $2.15 here in Texas. I’m really surprised there is such a difference.

Yes I have Ruth! Here in NJ the lowest is like $2.49. Which is definitely better than it was.

It dropped to 2.07 yesterday here. It looks like it’s lowering here then spreading upwards.

Well Maduro of Venezuela is gone and Columbia, Iran, Russia and the Mexican Cartels are put on notice.

Have you seen the celebrations in Venezuela? They are ecstatic. Joyful to be rid of a dictator.

Jennifer | 24 comments It’s only the Democrats in our country that are whining and complaining!

Because they are backed into a corner and can’t save face. Whaat else could they say. lol. If the people in Ven are this happy and they live there, it can’t be a bad thing.

Jennifer you can be assured that if the Democrats disagree or complain about anything. Then the opposite decision was correct.


message 20: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer | 24 comments I completely agree, Robert! They have completely lost the plot. And they hate our country.

If you see protests in NYC and elsewhere that disagree with the removal of Maduro and demanding his release, then you are looking at the face of communism. Example the new mayor Mandami, AOC, Bernie Sanders and others.

I saw a place called “Little Venezuela “ in Florida and they were celebrating in the streets. Women were crying because they were so happy.

So, I mistakenly turned on Good Morning America just for the background noise. They were covering the Venezuelan mess. They had a “reporter” on the ground in Venezuela and the guy stood in front of what he referred to as a road block between Venezuela and Columbia. The reporter said all people previously trying to leave Venezuela to enter Columbia has ceased. He said “dozens to hundreds” of Venezuelan people rushed through that road daily. The anchors in Mew York got all excited and with a gleam in their eye asked why were these people trying to cross the border into Columbia? The ground reporter looked funny and said they were crossing to go shopping. (Lololol) They tried to spin it as people were refugees seeking something…they were going shopping. lol. They are trying so hard to spin this into something terrible. The man is a drug lord for crying out loud.
