Not surprising..... There would of been absolutely nothing he could of done that you would approved of. That's OK though - no money from US is being given to them, and if they don't live up to agreement, we have option to go back to bombing......

I hope Texas high school basketball never gets a shot clock in my lifetime.

I paid I $3.19 today. In a couple weeks it should be well under $3.00

Update: gas is now $2.99 in west Chambers Co.

Issue the U.S. has--I may/may not have mentioned previously--is that most of our refineries are set up to process heavy, sour crude. We haven't made the investments to be able to process our own WTI. That should be a priority, and would be a good use of incentive funding for national security purposes. Just get us to at least a 60/40 spit.

For folks (subscribers) waiting on the DCTF mag it should be coming in starting next week. 🙌🏾 Mine comes in between Wednesday and Friday.

The 17 year old who filmed himself urinating on Austin Metcalf’s grave and posting it on the internet, has been arrested.

The deal might as well be written on toilet paper because they will violate it you can bank on it. As for as bombing them that might trigger them closing off the strait again but as you’ve said other countries are looking for other alternatives for their oil but it would still hurt the global economy imo. We should have been all in from the beginning to take out the oppressive regime and secure the uranium or not go in at all imo. Trump ran his piehole too much and Iran called his bluff. What a mess.

I may have posted this before but I think of Reagan everytime I see it. Lol

Never took the shot and never was a thought common sense to me

I don’t do ticktock but my wife has shared many stories of how impressed soccer foreigners are to visit our country, except for the heat. Helps make us realize how good we have it.

Pedo’s protect Pedo’s

… and yes, 4 year olds aren’t usually that bad but you can see it coming sometimes.

Good. Hopefully it'll be fully implemented in a few years. They should have sent them film from that Silsbee/Lumberton game from a few years ago. No more trash basketball.

Great point - working in banking what I have noticed is people with no money who get money end up bank to their poor status quickly. I have 30 minute lectures with people who get 30K plus in one check from a settlement or inheritance. I try and explain this is more than likely a once in a lifetime event. Then I explain how long, if ever, it would take them to save that much money....The nod their head in agreement, we open their account or make their deposit, and usually in 60 days it is gone......

Those cars were built better than today’s. Real American steel. Today’s vehicles are soft and full of computer chips.

I like $2.49 a gallon better. 😁 You’ll hear no complaints from me at that price but I do understand what you’re saying. I’ve read somewhere in the past year or so that the low $70’s for a barrel of oil is the sweet spot for oil and gas companies.

Trump walks Iran into a trap! From the article: "And here you thought Trump was being naïve, trusting the word of a dishonest regime when in reality, he’s setting up checkmate. And here you thought Trump was being naïve, trusting Iran to adhere to the MOU (Memo of Understanding.). It’s not a treaty or an agreement or a promise. It’s just a memo. Here is what I think Trump is doing, four steps ahead of everyone else, as usual. Trump made a big deal out of signing the MOU publicly. Cameras, people standing around, a worldwide press event of the signing. But Trump knew, and still knows full well, that the Iranians have no intention of adhering to the memo or to any future deal. They will cheat. And when they do, Trump will be able to say, “The U.S. signed the MOU in good faith. The Iranians signed it, too. Now, world, you can see clearly that Iran alone on the world stage cannot be trusted to adhere to any agreement.” (China and Russia are another story for another time.) Trump’s tactic here is a weird and convoluted Alinsky move of “freezing the target,” isolating it (Iran), and then destroying it. Make no mistake that Trump is fully prepared to bomb them into particles if they break the MOU and any subsequent treaty/deal they will sign in the future. Trust the process!! Trump!

What's actually comical? I haven't heard a peep about the Paris Climate Agreement, Greta Thornberg, or the dreaded Climate Change. Seems everyone is too busy scrambling for oil. The Paris Climate Agreement appears to be about as solid as this MOU between Iran & the U.S.

There are 4 different pipelines that can handle about 50% of the current loads through Hormuz as they’re built out right now. (Don’t quote me on the 50%. But, I think that’s close.) These can be expanded. But, they’ll still be easy targets for disruption in a volatile region, and the ME politics always makes a kink in usage/transport deals between the States & countries. They’re being used now, and are part of the reason oil hasn’t jumped as much as people thought. There was talk of rail between Saudi, Israel, and up north after the Abraham Accords. But, I don’t know how the relations are between Israel & Saudi right now after Gaza. I don’t think they’re great. Land bridges are already being used to a small extent by MSC (the shipping magnate). They could be expanded, and MSC & others are looking at that. I believe only 10% or so ships via land right now. Building anything between areas in this region is tough. So, I couldn’t give you a timeframe. But, since Iran has shown their hand, I’d expect any build to be quicker than in the past. Let’s say 2-3 years-ish per bridge for the ENC part of it. Bridges aren’t that difficult, and there are very talented people in that region as well. They’re not uneducated dummies like some think. Other water routes are pretty shallow and dangerous for the supertankers. The major benefactor is the Americas. Our routes are safe, easily insurable, and dependable without stressing over constant conflicts. The distance is a little longer. But, this can be scheduled around. Another benefit is that our light, sweet WTI is the cheapest product to refine. America, Venezuela, Canada, and other producers will be the big winners.

Heard it was the former coach at AHS.

I agree. Good luck to all teams, coaching staffs and communities this upcoming season. Praying that all players will have great attitudes, exhibit the best sportsmanship possible and avoid major injuries. At the end of the day, it's just football. As for Babin, good luck to the kid wherever he plays (or does not play) at.

You were right OlDawg.

Last night's exchange between the Branch brothers was truly a blessing to witness. Just saw online that the umpiring crew located their parents and gave them the lineup card from the game. Their mom looks like she was still crying and it was likely quite a few minutes after the game when the umpires had the opportunity to give it to them. Family and sports!! What a great experience for them and glad we all got to watch.

Wrong. JCPOA didn't have snap inspections of any sites, or destruction of existing enriched nuclear material. In fact, it included terms that required giving notice to Iran about upcoming inspections, and even allowed them to self report enrichment. JCPOA was a big, fat nothingburger. It's yet to be seen what this will turn into.

I think it is a good ruling. Hunter should be ecstatic.

Definitely tone deaf.

MAGA and bots 😂 Real conservatives and the rest of the world shaking their heads I honestly feel bad for Reagan, biggest man crush on sleepy Donald that I've ever seen.. dude foams at the mouth daily to talk about him.. he/she has that defend by all means mantra lol

😂

I find it amusing to be honest with you.

Smh

Yep. Like I said previously, I'd expect Brent to hang around upper $70's for the foreseeable future. I don't envision going back into the $60's again. $70's are actually a good number that allows for a balance between fuel costs & margins that allow for maintenance and investments by the energy companies. I haven't heard of any major T/A's in a long time. Usually, that's a yearly, staggered process between refiners. T/A's are a critical function, and the refiners have to have the margins and capacities to enable the down times. In the past, we were around $80/bbl. But, efficiencies and fracking have enabled a lot lower cost structure need. This is a solid link to keep bookmarked for those interested. It doesn't give all the data I receive. But, it's pretty informative for the overview.

I knew we scored too many runs against Alabama. Georgia played just well enough to win, and that’s what counts. Longhorns had opportunities and didn’t produce.

He’s not wrong but he fails to mention the Republicans spend over 2 trillion dollars above what the government takes in yearly. Trump is not a conservative despite what Reagan thinks. As I’ve said before republicans or democrats refuse to cut spending therefore adding to inflation which is a unlegislative tax. I know I sound like a broken record but no business or family can do what our government is doing and has been doing for decades. We’d go out of business and bankrupt if we did but the government just keeps printing more money. SMH

Let me consult Carnac.

Wow, same number of enlisted murdered leaving Afghanistan…….and left $billions in military equipment..…not a peep.

To me, one of the best things to happen out of this—besides no nuclear weapons for Iran if that actually gets done—is the realignment of energy across the globe. The Strait won’t be allowed to have as much impact in the future. Producers will find other outlets. Plus, the U.S. has been established as a reliable energy source without the headaches of the Middle East. We should now become one of—if not the—dominant energy producer/s in the world. Our supply lines are safe. Insurers will take note. Length of travel will not be as big an impediment if regularly scheduled shipments are undertaken by clients. This should bode well for energy investments, manufacturing, engineering, crafts and skills, and related high-paying jobs. Not to mention a boon to our resurgent steel industry.

That is all political talking points - you didn't address anything I stated......because it's hard.... I'm also not sure why I should care about evidence if 150 victims don't want to produce any.....

No matter their color, I can’t believe anyone ever siding with the murderer.

Geez…. So a Beaumont teen went to Houston and is accused of killing two teenagers. I don’t take solace in the fact that it didn’t happen here. Two teenagers are dead. Where they are from or where they were at the time doesn’t really matter. If convicted of Capital Murder there are only two punishments available, life in prison without parole or the death sentence. If this guy is guilty, let’s hope that he had already walked his last free days on this Earth.

Same

Yep….and 30% of the 97% has been in the last 6 years. Trump and Biden can be thanked for that.

I believe it!

This is my 2¢ opinion. Such shooters usually (not always) do not want to be taken alive. It is sometimes their last act of defiance. Kill as many innocent people as possible, especially if a police officer, and then before being arrested, end their life or be killed by the police so as to keep anyone from seeking retribution. It’s like, I created mayhem and killed people and there’s nothing you can do about it. Starting at Columbine, that seems to be a common motive. When Klebold and Harris figured out that they were cornered and/or had run out of easy targets, they each committed suicide. Before that the police had fired about 140 rounds. So Klebold had Harris didn’t mind exchanging fire with the police, knowing that they were eventually going to end it. In the Mildland shooting it would not surprise me either way that the police killed the shooter or (perhaps more likely) he killed himself.

I purchased with my "play" money that I make form my band hobby. If I would not have bought this, it would of been guitars or band equipment. I have an etrade account that I buy misc. stocks when the market dips. I'm curious to see where it goes.
