To some degree, domestic oil prices follow worldwide market prices. Also, when oil production approaches maximum capability, less efficient wells come into use, so average production cost does increase.

IIRC, Clinton added a significant Federal tax on diesel, because trucking was too profitable (putting it scarcastically).

Swalwell ripped for changing his tune on how sexual assault victims 'deserve to be heard'
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/swalwell-ripped-changing-tune-sexual-assault-victims-deserve-to-be-heard

Eric Swalwell led a campaign against Brett Kavanaugh in 2018. It came back to haunt Swalwell.

Swillwell also demanded the release of the Epstein files, https://www.foxnews.com/politics/kash-patel-calls-bullst-swalwell-heated-exchange-over-epstein-files . Swillwell imagined that his protection made him invulnerable to consequences for his actions. Questions like these still need answers:

* Who else in Congress (regardless of D, R, or I)?

* Who knew, how much, and for how long?

Sadly, because Ds are all but certainly uninterested (or interested in obstructing), Rs will be asking those questions, if anyone does, and the Dem-shill MSM will portray it as a partisan witch-hunt.

The duties of a Pope are to lead the Catholic Church, in teaching and organizationally. Leo and Francis are and were more interested in geopolitics and quasi-Marxian social ideology. Leo (formerly Cardinal Robert Prevost) was anti-Trump before being elected Pope, and like so many Hate-Trumpers, cannot see past that. Leo XIV will be less bad for the Catholic Church than was Leo X, but the current Leo is neglecting his duties.

I filled up yesterday an regular was $5.13 a gallon. I don't know why its so high here. I heard on the news we are exporting gas and oil, that doesn't make sense to me when prices are so high.

So, all the stuff we knew, but couldn't prove was happening. And there's little hope that any of them will pay the price. It's disgusting how these people ignored the laws, lied repeatedly, tried to undermine the very system that has allowed America to not only survive but thrive while doing more, giving more, helping more in more places than the rest of the world combined.  These people prove that evil does exist. As a whole, human nature is not automatically good. No better examples than these self-righteous, arrogant, bottom-feeders.

$3.40 in N.H. for NON-ETHANOL 93 octane gas.

I run this in all my small engines so well worth the slightly higher price than last year.

That's a great price! Around here the non-ethanol  93 octane has been .30 t0 .50 cents more than the ethanol 93. At the moment the ethanol diluted 93 octane is still around $4.25-4.50. But it's slowly improving. And, when this Iran thing is over and stabilized, I think 93 will drop below $4.00 again. 93 was around $3.25 here pre-Biden. Regular 87 octane was $2.50-2.60 pre-Biden, if I remember correctly. Diesel is the current rip-off. Not sure why.

Tom Homan Has the Perfect Response for Catholic Leaders Complaining About Immigration Enforcement
https://townhall.com/tipsheet/amy-curtis/2026/04/15/tom-homan-pope-leo-n2674482

Several Catholic leaders, including Pope Leo XIV, have been very critical of President Trump's immigration enforcement policies. Back in January of last year, it was revealed that the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and other Catholic organizations were getting hundreds of millions from the government to "resettle" immigrants in America. The Trump administration turned off that spigot, and the criticisms followed.

But the Vatican, which has some of the strictest immigration laws imaginable, and the Swiss Guard to help enforce them, has no idea what the problems are like on the ground at the U.S. border. Tom Homan, a Catholic who has spent decades working on immigration, does.

And he's got a message for Pope Leo and others: stay out of the issue.

The Vatican has a lot of problems of their own.
