Drivers heading into Memorial Day weekend are facing another painful spike in gas prices as the Iran conflict keeps pressure on global oil markets. Analysts warn prices could climb even higher if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed through the summer. Meanwhile, Maine Democratic Senate hopeful Graham Platner is facing fresh backlash after another controversial Reddit post resurfaced online.
NOW: President Trump’s team has REJECTED Iranian terms for Strait of Hormuz access and controls GOOD! America first terms ONLY “Iran has released a map showing what it calls a controlled maritime zone. Tehran says it’s committed to reopening the strait to friendly countries that abide by its terms, which will most likely include fees for just going through the strait.” “And Washington, by the way, reacting to that saying it is simply unacceptable.”

Rep Tim Burchett again CONFIRMS high gas prices have nothing to do with the Iran War. Big Oil is taking advantage of the situation and price gouging us “Gas prices are awful. We’re being gouged by the gas companies. We get zero gas oil, excuse me, from Iran, and we’re actually exporting it” “The oil companies get billions of dollars in subsidies and it’s not right. They’re ripping us off”

New Book from Whatfinger’s Own: “Time’s Orphans” – A Must-Read for Every Patriot
Folks, if you’ve been with Whatfinger from the beginning — back when we were calling out the lies, fighting the woke mind virus, and standing up for truth while the mainstream media sold their souls — then I’ve got something special for you.
“Time’s Orphans” – Book 1 of the Medieval Future Series — written by our own Michael Anthony — just dropped on Amazon.
This isn’t some generic sci-fi novel. This is our story.
- Whatfinger crew members (Beth, Ben, Pat, and others) are on Elon Musk’s first Ark, carrying humanity’s last hope across the stars.
- Elon himself is in it — the man who actually built the damn thing.
- Trump gets the respect he deserves as the leader who fought for America when it mattered most.
- The crew makes the hard calls patriots understand: protecting the future, rejecting the lies of Big Pharma, and refusing to let the next generation be destroyed by the same evil we watched unfold on Earth.
The immortals on the Ark vote to hide the truth about resets so their children will actually have families and build something worth fighting for. They carry the weight of that decision across centuries… only to reach a new world full of dragons, ancient secrets, and the same old human struggles between freedom and tyranny.
It’s packed with everything we stand for:
- Unapologetic truth-telling
- Love of real America
- Rage against the machine that lied to us about the vax and everything else
- Hope that humanity can still build something great even after the fall
If you’ve ever wanted to see a story where the good guys are the ones who backed Trump, backed Musk, backed free speech, backed real science over corporate lies, and refused to bow to the globalist reset — this book is for you.
Time’s Orphans is the beginning of something big. A series that blends hard sci-fi with epic future history, written by one of our own.

Leave a review if you love it. Share it with your friends. Let’s push this one up the charts and show the establishment that real Americans are still creating, still fighting, and still dreaming big.
The fight continues — even among the stars.

Book II goes serious Game of Thrones style with even more politics, America love…. Surely will be destroyed by the Left in comments/reviews once we advertise the books. – Mike
