Why a secret ballot? Who was afraid to show they voted for Iran? Were the ballots availble to evey nation? Who counted them? Was it a close count?

Amazing how dictatorships are welcome in the UN!

The Ukraine and Californian regulations are driving diesel prices higher.

  Not having enough refineries in America is the biggest problem, it isn't only California, and if we had the refineries to refine our own oil, what Ukraine, Russia, or anyone else does would have little affect on us.
  We must be energy independent, make everything we need for basic life and comfort ourselves......no reason we cannot do that as long as we have the right people in office!

  Have the right people in office? You may have missed that President Trump kept another one of his promises. Don't take my word for it but read it here: https://www.whitehouse.gov/releases/2026/02/american-energy-dominan...

  Maybe you keep missing the fact that the people in office today are temporary, they are only there for a short time, and if they don't make the changes into law, the things they have achieved, the next guy can get rid of with a snap of a finger!
  Energy dominance only means something if we are also capable of refining.......and we aren't! Refineries take time to build, not even Trump can do those fast. We have a ways to go to be really independent, thinking any other way is wishful thinking!

  Ilona, do you really think that energy dominance is temporary? Why? Will oil companies shut down pumping oil in two and a half years? Don't forget we also got Venezuelan oil now, another great deal President Trump made.
  
  As for refineries, do you really think President didn't think about everything including building refineries and he needs your help to point this out? I trust the man and I certainly have no reason to believe he isn't keeping his promises. You apparently think differently.

  You may trust him.....but he is only there a short time. Not enough to build enough refineries, and everything he does can be stopped by the next guy. If I were you I'd try hard to convince people to vote republican and go out in huge numbers, rather than trying so damned hard to convince me Trump is the answer to everything!

  Ilona, it goes without saying that we need to convince voters to vote Republicans no matter what because they are indeed the answer to everything. President Trump is one of these great Republicans, if not the greatest ever. There is a reason why you and I have supported Republicans up and down the ballot all of our lives, isn't there?
