Khan Wanted To Bomb Stock Exchange & They Let Him Out?

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Usman Khan, the terrorist who knifed people to death before being killed by police yesterday, was out on parole for serving time in a terrorist plot to bomb the London stock exchange. And they let this guy out?!
According to reports, he had told authorities that he was going to be a "good Muslim" and repent his terrorist ways and they believed him...

Israel's Progress On The Cancer Front

Are you sure that wasn't developed by Palestinians???  

Oh wait, they're busy building bombs to kill as many Jews as possible.

Sorry, got the 2 confused...ermm
Perhaps this is what you had in mind:
"The Palestinian Authority pays terrorists more depending on their prison sentence, meaning that the greater the severity of the crime – the more Israelis killed and wounded – the more they receive each month. PA President Mahmoud Abbas has maintained the policy despite Israel’s deductions, as well as the US cutting aid to the PA over it."

Gas Price in New Orleans

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Best price around my red neck of the woods, 2.59 at Costco. Gotta pay all that extra tax for BS road repairs. The stuff they throw down on the road is crap and they constantly pave the shoulder of the roads that nobody uses except in case of an emergency. The whole thing is a rip off.

I don't know how it is in CA, but the amount of litter along the roads in TX is minuscule compared to LA; I honestly believe that LA is the filthiest state in the entire US. 
My beef is that we don't have to be charged exorbitantly high gas taxes in California to maintain the roads. Look at all the traffic that normally goes from Ca to Vegas 24/7. You cross the state lines into Nevada, or Oregon or Arizona for that matter and the gas prices are much less than Ca and their roads are maintained without the additional taxes to do it.

Actually, the proposition that I voted for to rescind the gas tax failed after special interests mounted a vigorous campaign with BS scare tactics like "first responders won't get to you because our roads are crumbling"--words to that effect.
But gas prices should soon rise again everywhere as oil prices jumped today on a Trump tweet:
