Last year's record oil production in West Texas has helped the United States supply remain stable despite stockpiles facing a tight squeeze around the world because of the war in Iran, according to experts.

Nearly half of all oil produced in the United States in 2025 came from Texas, even though fewer new oil wells were drilled, The Texas Tribune reported on Thursday.

"Without the millions of barrels produced a day in the Permian Basin, there's no question we'd be in much more volatile times," said Ben Shepperd, president of the Permian Basin Petroleum Association, the largest regional trade group in the country.

Wes Moore Attacks Local Newspaper for Deigning To Report on His Record

https://freebeacon.com/democrats/wes-moore-attacks-local-newspaper-for-deigning-to-report-on-his-record/

Quote
Democratic Maryland Gov. Wes Moore has embarked on a preemptive media campaign attacking his state's flagship newspaper, the Baltimore Sun, for a forthcoming investigative series that will allegedly scrutinize Moore's record.

"The Baltimore Sun used to be our paper of record," Moore told former White House press secretary turned MS NOW host Jen Psaki, whose time as President Joe Biden's top flack was marked by the cover-up of the president's mental decline. "It's now become the paper of the right wing."

Moore, a prospective 2028 Democratic presidential prospect, has taken a public beating in the wake of news reports from the Washington Free Beacon and other out-of-state outlets that exposed a litany of false statements about his family history, his upbringing, and his academic, athletic, and military achievements. Now, the Baltimore Sun, together with a local network collaboration known as Spotlight on Maryland, is getting in on the action with a series months in the making that will apparently examine whether Moore exaggerated his military and athletic accomplishments beyond what is already known.

Spotlight on Maryland managing editor Candy Woodall said Wednesday that Moore's team "warned" her privately in January that it would work to tarnish the Sun's reputation by sending "files to every media reporter" in the country if it continued its probe into Moore's military records.

It takes DU-Grade stupid to pretzellate Trump's remark while being OK with 47+ years of "Death to America".

It's really amazing at how intensely they want to defend a authoritarian regime that would kill them and all of their "say my pronoun" friends in the blink of an eye. Personally, I try to avoid supporting folks who want to wipe me off the face of the earth, but I'm not a brainless lemming so...

Rightly or wrongly, "WON" refers to have been awarded Disability.

Let me guess again. PTSD right? :banghead:

How any male born after ~1960 could think draft registration ceased eludes me. Unless they decided to disobey existing law, of course.

Remember, we are dealing with a couple of generations with high percentages of not very attentive, aware, or intelligent people.  The commercials about "it's quick, it's easy, it's the law" during my Saturday morning cartoons made me aware of the requirement long before I hit 18.  Now if it ain't in their algorithms, most folks under 25 don't know it exists.

Oh yeah, he posts all over the lounge and has tagged them for several thousand dollars on his gofundme. I’m sure now that’s he’s ‘won’ he’ll be paying them back. I’m sure he’ll get a large back payment up front. I’m sure he’ll share the wealth … right?  Repay those who helped him?

Psychiatric Morbidity Among Adolescents and Young Adults Who Contacted Specialised Gender Identity Services in Finland in 1996--2019: A Register Study
ABSTRACT

Aim

To examine the prevalence of severe psychiatric morbidity among gender-referred adolescents, focusing on gender differences and outcomes related to medical gender reassignment.

Methods

Finnish nationwide cohort of all under-23-year-old gender-referred individuals between 1996 and 2019 (n = 2 083) and 16 643 matched controls. Cross-tabulations with X2 statistics and Cox regression were used to analyse the data.

Results

Gender-referred adolescents showed significantly higher psychiatric morbidity than controls both before (45.7% vs. 15.0%) and ≥ 2 years after referral (61.7% vs. 14.6%).

Here's a Fun Fact for all the MAGAs:

FUN FACT: Michelle Obama and Jill Biden never had to hold a press conference to deny being part of a sex trafficking ring.

Yes, because conservatives don't hate them enough to concoct preposterous lies about them ... Trump-Haters are less honest and needed to slander Melania.
