Those pro golfers who took the LIV big money will now get full PGA tour access. All those who turned down the big money on principle, now have to deal with the taint of Saudi Arabia with little to no benefit.

Oil prices are going up due to Saudi cuts in supply. Higher oil prices will result in high oil company profits. It is not due to corporate greed. When the market price of oil rises, the profits of those companies rise. Higher oil prices will result in higher inflation in general

Get ready to pay more at the pump and on everything else. Saudi is cutting a million barrels a day to boost oil prices. All oil company profits will soar with the higher prices due to the reduced supply.

Not sure how anyone can claim with a straight face that Russia did not attack and invade the Ukraine. Like them or not, the Ukraine is fighting for their country and their lives. Russia can withdraw whenever they want and it is over. Putin is evil and a war criminal

The stock market is tumbling because all the signs are there that we are heading into a recession. Politicians will all point to the other side. Recessions in election years are never good for the party in power.

Is anyone going to ask Kamala Harris about the 30 prisoners still being held by the US at Guantanamo Bay? Remember when Obama promised in his first campaign that he would close the prison at Guantanamo as it is a stain on our nation? I guess it really wasn't so important afterall

Jimmy Carter is a decent, God fearing gentleman. I didn't agree with much of his presidency, but respect him immensely as human. He gives generously of himself toward many worthy causes, most notably Habitat for humanity and free fair elections in many countries around the globe.

@RBReich Oil companies do not set oil prices. That is market driven. They produce a product that is traded on a world market. When demand outstrip supply prices go up and profits go up. Directors have a fiduciary responsibility to act in shareholders best interest.

@BarbraStreisand Semi automatic rifles like the AR 15 sales can and have been banned by the federal gov. It is not the 2nd amendment that is stopping that. Democrats had the house, Whitehouse, and a filibuster proof senate during Obamas first 18 months. They did nothing on gun control.

@RBReich Corporate greed exists when inflation is low and when it is high. The cause of inflation is too many dollars chasing too few goods. Increase supply of goods enough and inflation come down. Restrict the money supply enough and inflation comes down.
