    As long as your government continues to supply weapons to the Nazis in Ukraine, you will pay for it with your wallets.. more and more expensive.
    Oh, yeah.. there are no Nazis in Ukraine:

    This is not an invasion! This is an operation to disarm and purge the Nazis. Russians don't shoot at civilians. Ukrainian Nazis are shooting at civilians to tell you that Russians are doing it.
    The truth from your fellow journalist:

  21. So what are states doing to catch gas thrives? Why are we left to fend for ourselves? Then they try to tell us they done want us having firearms yet they won’t protect us.
    Cheers

  22. If you lock your gas cap they will just drill a hole in your gas tank which could cause your car to explode.

  23. ANYBODY please invent create a sort of plug/rivet that can be inserted in plastic tanks. Thank you.

  24. Something a lot of people don’t know about and is making a bad situation worse. Trucks, semi trucks. We need fuel too, and when the diesel prices rise so do the freight charges. That means we (the truck company) charge the shipper more so in turn the shipper (walmart or some other big name company) charge more for their products. If the price of fuel goes up, the price of EVERYTHING goes up. Cause everything is moved by trucks!

  25. Nothing surprises me these days 🙄 when it comes to the behavior of Liberals.

  26. You know, after being made fun of by people because I ride a bike to work everyday it's freaking hilarious seeing those same people walking or taking the bus 😂
