US Elections (& Politics) :)

So far the released files are 90% redacted …
Yeah, but internet sleuths determined they did not 'redact' the text, only used the black highlighter over it.
Result: copy redacted blocks out, paste as text only into new document.
TADA. 100% unredacted text.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Um no.
Its said its a very small percentage

Many individual blackout words/names in otherwise clean files apparently were (like the ones I show above), but entire pages that are redacted, thousands, weren't covered by grade school markers.
They're just blank

Gas prices plunge to lowest level in years just in time for Christmas​


American consumers continue to catch a break at the gas pump with roadside assistance company AAA reporting that the national average price for a gallon of regular gasoline fell to $2.85 Monday.

It was up to $2.86 Tuesday but has stayed below the $3 mark since Dec. 2.

The average dipped below $2.90 for the first time in more than four years last week, punctuating what has been a steady decline in prices over the past month. Deriv.com contributor and CEO of financial education site First Information Vince Stanzione said the president’s push for lower gas prices and the global oil supply are helping ease prices across the country.

“As we head into 2026, the world remains well supplied with oil, and with President Donald Trump openly pushing for cheaper energy, the path of least resistance for crude is lower,” Stanzione said in an email to The Independent. “The world remains oversupplied with oil, and Russia continues to sell its oil to willing Indian refiners, which then resell refined products back to Europe, keeping global prices down.”

All my Xmas gifts this year are going to be gas since the price is so low in time for Xmas. I have several 5 gallon Home Depot buckets filled with gas in my trunk that I am taking to Xmas dinner for gifts. Covered them with saran wrap so it won't spill.
