What is the world is going on that one of the most oppressive nations on earth with one of the most horrendous records on human rights being put in these positions of leadership on issues which Iran is absolutely horrible?

If one accepts that something going through some sort of "peer review" automatically grants is status and gravitas, then these referenced "peer reviewed" pieces must be taken seriously.

Obviously the US Oil and Gas Association is not an unbiased organization. They clearly are advocating for a specific viewpoint. Yet, if their data is accurate (and why would it not be as the gas taxes in CA are easily verifiable, the shutting down of oil refineries is well documented, and their absurd insistence of CA specific blends is also well known) their point seems valid. To solely blame Trump for high gas prices (especially those that haven't exceeded the gas prices under Biden) is simply to lie. Is the Iran situation a factor, absolutely. Is it temporary, very likely. Is this an example of Kannah trying to score cheap political points by pushing a false narrative, definitely.

This could go on my justice post, but Melika Azizi deserves her own post. In the US people freely protest the government with no negative consequences at all is the protest is lawful and peaceful. We certainly haven't seen tens of thousands of killings simply for protesting. But the notion that justice under Sharia requires that she be rapes before being killed so she won't go to "heaven" is simply vile and inhuman. That her fate in heaven, had she gone, was an eternity of being raped makes you wonder if one rape is less horrible than eternal rape.

This deserved it's own post. The author is anything but a right wing extremist.
" Dr. Colin Wright is an evolutionary biology PhD, Manhattan Institute Fellow, and CEO/Editor-in-Chief of Reality’s Last Stand. His writing has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, The Times, the New York Post, Newsweek, City Journal, Quillette, The Washington Examiner, and other major news outlets and scientific journals."
In other words, he could rightly be called an expert in the topic.

One more example of Europe's mistake in abandoning nuclear energy in favor of "green" energy. That they need to lie about it, is probably an indication of the reality of the situation.

That Pocahontas has no concept of how economics works is not surprising. That she is so brazen in demonstrating her ignorance is.

"Obama authorized 542 drone strikes, dropped over 26,000 bombs in a single year across seven countries, and killed between 380 and 801 civilians according to the Bureau of Investigative Journalism and YET not a single one of his three Secretaries of Defense (Leon Panetta, Chuck Hagel, or Ash Carter) was ever served with articles of impeachment. Over his full eight-year presidency (2009–2017), Obama dropped approximately 92,000 to 100,000 bombs and missiles across seven to eight countries, according to compiled U.S. Air Force and coalition data. That works out to roughly 31 to 34 bombs per day, or about 1.3 to 1.4 bombs every single hour for eight straight years. Congressional approval? Zero. This is why not one sane person can ever take anything the Democratic Party does seriously."
The double standard strikes again.

Science and technology are bitches sometimes. The fact that folx like Dan support candidates and policies that condemn a human child (who can recognize and respond to it's father's voice) is absolutely barbaric. Lat week I held my first grandchild, and I was awestruck by my responsibility to help protect this innocent child. Yet folx like Dan support the "right" of mothers to end the lives of children up to the moment of birth. Disgusting.

Justice is an interesting concept.
AI tell us that "Justice is the ethical concept of fairness, impartiality, and giving individuals their due, often upheld by legal systems"
MW tell us that it's "the process or result of using laws to fairly judge cases, redress wrongs, and punish crimes"
Justice in Scripture seems to encompass the notion of getting what is deserved, whether that is reward or punishment.
I tend to think that many of us see justice the same way a child sees fairness. That justice is getting the result that we prefer, sometimes regardless of evidence or facts.
In the video above, a juror from the OJ trial seems to be saying that 90% of the jurors acquitted OJ despite believing that the evidence proved him guilty. I'm having a hard time seeing that as justice.
In the Derek Chauvin trial the jurors were subjected to crowds chanting threats of violence if Chauvin was not convicted. I'm questioning if threatening a jury is conducive to justice.
As we've seen in multiple examples of using race in admissions for higher education ending up putting less qualified students above more qualified students in an attempt to provide justice, this version comes at a cost.
We've watched over the past few years as DAs have increasingly released or not charged people based (apparently) on their race, more and more repeat violent offenders set free to commit more violent crimes, and (especially in the UK, but also in MN) seen child rapists get remarkably light sentences. We've also seen (in Europe) victims of violent crimes get harsher sentences than their victimizer because of things they've said about those who victimized them.
We've seen a proliferation of zones within cities (mostly in Europe) where police will not enforce laws because of the risk to their lives.
Can justice for individuals be achieved through threats of violence intended to produce a specific result regardless of the evidence , ignoring of evidence, or inflicting injustice on others? Doe not justice need to follow the evidence wherever it leads without pressure or threats to disregard the evidence?
Obviously justice does sometimes require force to be administered. If someone is in the act of committing a rape (for example) clearly force or violence used to stop the rape is appropriate. Likewise, the only possible means to bring justice to the victims of Germany and Japan required their military defeat before their leaders could be tried.

Please explain where in this nightmare justice is found?
