The US is still releasing oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (apparently in an attempt to keep prices down….not what the SPR was built for)

– A record 9.9 million barrels were drawn from the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve last week, lowering the total inventories held in US SPR sites to just 374 million barrels, its lowest since July 2024.

– The pace of SPR drawdowns seen last week marks an all-time high, with more than 1.4 million b/d of strategic stocks supplied into the market, above Biden’s average rate of 1 million b/d.

– An expedited drawdown of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is likely to damage the salt caverns where SPR barrels are held, making them susceptible to salt falls and cavern deformation.

And more than 40% of the released SPR oil is sold outside the United States, not benefitting the Citizens of the US.

Also not the reason for the SPR….

Interesting, innit?

Yeah, I know….Pointing this out makes me a racist.

The UK government will introduce legislation banning new North Sea oil and gas exploration licences as part of its Energy Independence Bill.

The idiots would rather BUY oil than use their own domestic supply….and are pushing for 100% “Renewables”….Instead of reliable electrical generating plants…

What did the British use before candles???? Electric Lights!

This is how we get Terminators, people.

Why is it that an ID to vote is somehow racist (and or misogynist)…

but requiring an ID to board a plane is not?

Are we discriminating against black people (and women) by requiring a ‘Real ID” to travel via airplane?  To buy a car or buy a gun?  To open a bank account (unless, of course, you are illegal, then one is not needed)….

Or is it only when it makes for less voter fraud that it then matters? Is it more difficult to get an ID if one plans to use it to vote?

Brazen carjacker who was gunned down by Texas dad protecting his family of eight is identified as illegal immigrant from Mexico

Honestly, we need more of this.

I’ll buy the Dad a beer.

If you haven’t already:

The NGO fraud was bad, and there’s plenty more of that. ACT Blue is subject to fraud investigations. Multiple counties in the US are under investigation for ballot fraud. We’ve got Medicaid fraud, EBT/SNAP Fraud, Social Security fraud, and COVID-19 Relief fraud. Small Business Administration Fraud, Medicare Fraud, and Healthcare/Hospice Fraud. FEMA Fraud, Bank Fraud (and not just at the SPLC), Student Aid fraud, Union embezzlement fraud, Pension fraud, Education funding fraud, State Grant Fraud, Home mortgage Fraud, Train to nowhere fraud, Federal Grant Fraud, School Lunch money Fraud, and every access point to your money likely has fraud.

And the “Progressives” profit from every single bit of that fraud.

It is self funding using your dollars.

You don’t think those senators pay for all those multi million dollar homes and that lavish lifestyle on $174,000.00  a year,  do you?
