      Thanks, Jer. I’m trying to remember how young I was when gas prices were this low. I do remember driving in Michigan in the late sixties and paying 24 cents for gas. Now that’s cheap!

      Koch Industries is charging $.50/barrel to “buy” a high-sulphur oil from North Dakota suppliers.

        I remember trying to get to a rehearsal with my first boyfriend - we had 88 cents between us, and we got 3 gallons of gas.

          Ah yes, I remember the 25 cent gallon days. I could get a dollars worth of gas at a time. But frequently ended up running out of gas in my 1952 Dodge pick up in the same place. Always carried a gas can with me.

      Gas prices are still very high in California. Gas stations in my neighborhood, owned by Shell, Mobil, and Chevoron, are still Charging about $3.59 a gallon. Some independent gas stations, outside my neighborhood, are charging between $2.69 and $2.79 a gallon.

      Let me get this clear. This ‘witch’ has already been elected and now she’s insulting the daughters of her constituents. Who died and gave her the authority to be their mom/minister/doctor. Hope she has some really stiff competition at the next election.

      There is NOTHING bad, wrong or whatever about pre marital sex. I will ALWAYS remember the absolute joy of being able to control - all by myself - whether or not I became pregnant. People like this women cause such grief to others - and very few - if any - practise what the preach.

    True story. I grew up in a suburb of New York and loved nothing more than getting on a train and enjoying a day in the city-at the theater, the museums or just shopping. It is and always will be my beloved city. After I had moved away for many years, I came back in the early eighties to attend a convention and was walking up Fifth Avenue with a friend, reliving memories. We passed this enormous building with the words TRUMP on top, a name I was blessedly unfamiliar with at the time. I remember turning to my friend and saying, “What egomaniac put that vulgar thing up?” The next Trump crap I saw was the utterly garish Taj Mahal in Atlantic City, which is a lounge lizard’s idea of class. Trump has got the worst possible taste and the sensibility of wrecking ball.

    Take note Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith: Getting political has its risks.

    After the actress declared Monday that she will be boycotting the Oscars after her husband was snubbed, Alexis Arquette took a major swing at the pair for what she alleges is hypocrisy.

    The transgender actress and gender-rights activist “outed” the married couple with a Facebook post that argued that Mr. and Mrs. Smith’s comments on race and the Oscars were invalid because they won’t ’fess up about their alleged homosexuality.

    • 72 pkayden
      January 19, 2025 at 4:45 pm

      Ms. Arquette’s comments are gossip. I don’t believe in outing people anyways. That’s a private matter.

      If Jada and Will want to boycott the Oscars because of its lack of diversity, they are welcome to do so. I won’t be watching either. I’m sick of the Oscars acting as if there are no talented and skilled Black, Latino, Asian, Native American, etc., actors/actresses.

      • 73 GGail
        January 19, 2025 at 5:06 pm

        Bitter people look for an excuse to bash someone. They don’t deserve any of my gray matter.

        I support Jada and others who have decided to boycott the Oscars. Their position has caused the head of the Oscars to make a statement - finally. She’s been quiet until the wave of boycott started - and she’s black! SMH!

      This is where active OFA Chapters come in handy in and around the communities.

      Everyone can go to OFA CONNECT or you can still type in http://www.barackobama.com and find a Chapter and become involved now. This way, come November, you will have connected with the latino’s in your community and can offer assistance to get them to the Polls.

      THIS is the “family values” of the GOP. Last week there were two Republican Muslims who wanted to meet with Donald Trump and give him another view of Muslims. NPR host asked if they would vote for ILL Douche if he became the nominee and they out say. The host also asked why they are Republicans and they said, because of their stance on ‘Family Values’. Translation, against abortions and they keep women down.

      In 2008 when Palin was announced as VP running mate to McCain I spent a couple weeks researching her as I had lived in Juneau, AK for ten years as a teacher and had lots of connections. One thing I found out from friends independently from one another was that Track had gotten in trouble for vandalism in Juneau. He had been given a choice by a judge to join the military over Juvenile Delinquency Home. That is the down low from locals. On the national scene Sarah Palin bragged about her son serving in the military. There was no press about the delinquency charge due to his being under age. I did find a newspaper article about vandalism with no names mentioned that bore out friends claims. So hearing this latest news about Track does not surprise me.

    David Oyelowo and Don Cheadle have joined the growing number of stars who have spoken out against the Oscars for its lack of diversity.

    Selma star Oyelowo said: “This institution doesn’t reflect its president,” referring to African-American Cheryl Boone Isaacs.

    “I am an Academy member and it doesn’t reflect me. It doesn’t reflect this nation.”

    Cheadle joked about being allowed to park cars at the Oscars on Twitter.

    Rock, who is hosting this year’s Oscars, took to Twitter last week to joking call the event “the White BET (Black Entertainment Television) Awards”.

    No black or minority actors have been nominated in the four acting categories for this year’s Academy Awards.

    Academy president Boone Isaacs has announced she is taking action to “alter the make-up” of their membership, after director Spike Lee and actress Jada Pinkett Smith’s refusal to attend because of the mostly white nominees.
