THE OIL BLOCKADE IS PUTTING PRESSURE ON ALL THE CORRUPT ONE-PARTY STATES: Vacations under threat as California’s oil stockpile hangs on by a thread. “California’s in-state oil production peaked in the mid-1980s, specifically around 1985 at approximately 424 million barrels annually. Since then, production has experienced a long-term, steady decline, with current production falling significantly to about 285,000 barrels per day.”

CRUEL BUT FAIR:

ANALYSIS: TRUE. The scourge of left-wing violence isn’t new. It’s only going to get worse.

There have now been three major attempts to murder the Republican president. Not long ago, Charlie Kirk, one of the most popular conservative voices in the nation, was assassinated. Before that, Brian Thompson, the CEO of the largest insurance company in the country, was murdered on the street. Before that, a leftist showed up with a Glock, zip ties, and duct tape to assassinate a Supreme Court justice. Before that, a Bernie Sanders fan attempted to eliminate the entire Republican House leadership on a baseball field in Alexandria, Virginia.

That’s not even to mention the “free Palestine” activists who show up at protests with firebombs or murder Israeli Embassy workers on the streets of Washington. Or the fire-bombings of Tesla dealerships. Or the antifa fire-bombings and attacks on police stations and Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities. Or the attacks on pregnancy centers after the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision. Or the Black Lives Matter riots, the most destructive in American history.

When a would-be terrorist shows up at the Capitol with Molotov cocktails to kill Republican officials, we barely even talk about it.

That’s a pattern. That’s a big problem.
