1) simply say "human rep now", 2) "this is a legal issue."

This is the correct take. They should be shamed & shunned. Permanently.

The focus should be on refinement. Crude comes in many forms: LSC, SC, MC & EHC.

Why don't we build refineries that deal with this locally?
Because it's incredibly expensive and we're already getting paid for the oil from other countries so no one wants to who is in power. Drill baby drill is to sell more oil overseas and make oil companies and related industries rich.

FACTS:
Most U.S. oil has ALWAYS been shipped overseas
Our refineries are built to process Middle Eastern heavy crude
Drill-baby-drill US oil is light crude and cannot be used domestically in the refineries we have.
Yes, we have increased US production dramatically, but we do not consume most of it

If trickle-down economics worked at all, the world gaining 400 billionaires last year would have set off an economic boom, given everyone raises, and lowered our prices.

But it didn't. Because trickle-down economics is a scam designed to make the rich richer off the rest of us.

Usual Suspects

1) The Iranians didn't have an air force except for the F14s & some Soviet era relics. 2) The Iranians are running S300 "traps" which is why the only F15 has ever been lost in combat. 3) The Chinese may/might aid Iran with next-gen phased array radar & related munitions

NOT “Law and Order”

Jack Smith January testimony: I think that In the coming months and years……We will see people who were pardoned for Jan 6 continuing to commit additional crimes.

We must require ALL data centers and other extremely large corporate users of electricity to generate their own electricity at their own expense If we don't do this, we are either idiots and/or masochists.

She gets no more of a pass than the German civilians in WW2 who lived near the camps. Coulda, woulda, shoulda in retrospect....she can fuck off.

Alaska (ANS) is the right grade, but at ~480k bpd, it’s a rounding error against the 20M bpd Hormuz deficit. The Ton-Mile Wall: Shipping from Houston to Tokyo via the Cape (since the Red Sea is a kinetic zone) takes 45 days. This effectively cuts the global tanker fleet's capacity in half.

This ignores the Refining Paradox: The Chemistry Gap: Most Asian/US refineries are "hardwired" for ME Medium Sour crude. US LSC is the "wrong grade." Swapping them creates a glut of gasoline but a terminal famine of the Diesel and JP-8 Jet Fuel needed for the current blockade ops.

Well, in the absence of an Act of War or UN-approved sanctions... piracy?

Look- let's not rock the WaHo. Teleport, curb/drive, whatever. Those pecan waffles w/Smothered & covered ain't gonna cook themselves.

This is really kind of ridiculous: Metcalf's a physical stud...but he's more likely in the 10-12% bf range. Re: Trump- a 79-year-old man with 4.8% body fat wouldn't be standing at a podium; he’d likely be in a hospital bed. And that's the best case.

Accepting in advance that this is a "blinding glimpse of the obvious," but this is not going to end well. Just trying to take Kharg Island will look like Tarawa 2.0.

Funny story- several years ago, I picked up a SUV at HERTZ in Portland, ME. Drove it for 2 days. At the return, they had no record of the reservation. I'm like, "so I could keep it?", they're like, "I guess...". But I had a flight to catch.

Let's keep it simple- crucify him. If he arises on the 3rd day...pop smoke & call it a day. On the other hand...#winning

interdiction of vessels in international waters is either: 1) an act of war or 2) piracy.

The current friction isn't about a moral awakening or a sudden love for democratic norms, but rather a strategic pivot by people who see the writing on the wall and are looking for an "off-ramp" before the collapse.

This isn't really different from the German July '44 conspirators who tried to kill Hitler. It wasn't so much that they hated Nazism...they didn't want to learn Russian or eat borscht forever.

I think it has more to do with the Mossad using Epstein as an intel asset. And the Iranians are having them too.

And I thought the Iranians were harsh...

I was trying to figure out how to word my thoughts about the video Trump posted. This says it better than I could.

Well, Melania, you want your pound of flesh, you gotta pay the butcher. But- you could testify under oath, too. Pay the bill.

Well, sure...every bank or art heist looks good unless you get caught.

My biggest concern, between M & the Iranians kicking his dick into the dirt, is he just says, "fuck it and give me the Biscuit...".
