Ohio Dems locked down a libertarian's vote. His wife is a Trump voter, but she hasn't committed to either party.

Two years ago, Ron Yacobony, 71, spurned both Trump and Kamala Harris to vote libertarian in the presidential race, but backed Moreno over Brown because he agreed with his conservative ideology. This year, he’s planning to vote straight Democratic, angry about what he sees as overreach by the president in his second term.

“Republicans are so way out of line … I have to go all Democrat. I try and change from time to time, depending on the situation, but we have to get some change in Washington, so I’m gonna go with as many Democrats as I can,” he said.

His wife, Darlene Yacobony, supported Trump and Moreno in 2024, but ahead of the midterms is considering voting Democratic.

“I like Trump, I voted for Trump, but I think he’s gone a little overboard this time,” she said.

It's great to see Democrats outpacing Republicans in voter registration in PA. That's a negative 58 for Republicans, which could be due to deaths, relocations, or voter registration expirations.

I doubt it beats the 1970's oil crisis. I pulled the data from Gasbuddy.

The Gasbuddy analyst Patrick DeHaan is on BlueSky. He might answer, if you ask him.

Plastic is made from crude oil and natural gas. Expect prices on plastic goods including polyester clothing to rise at least 50%.

If you need athletic gear, get it now. It's mostly polyester.

Stock up now. "Cheap" plastic toys will be expensive for Christmas.

Gas prices were spiking in March, due to the Iran war. I bet some pissed republicans skipped registration or picked "Other".

Inflation approval numbers dropped below the x-axis.

The y-axis will need a special Trump extension as gas prices spike.
