Yes. We are also running low on tankers. There's a shortage because Asia, and Europe are buying US oil. It's driving the price up. We're even running low on tankers from the Gulf Coast refineries. WTI is running at a discount to Brent because of Hormuz. Tankers from the U.S. don't have to navigate through the Strait to get to their destination.

What's interesting--that most people don't think about--is that a child born by someone here temporarily is a U.S. citizen--according to the current situation. That person can become a future POTUS. Hypothetical: A Chinese birth tourism agency recruits a Chinese female to have a baby born in the U.S. That baby then leaves the U.S., grows up in Communist China for all their lives until they are 21. Then, they move back to the U.S. At 35, they file to run for President of the United States. They would qualify. They would be a natural U.S. citizen, they would have lived in the U.S. for the last 14 years, and they would be 35 years old.

Doubtful. Also, you should really want the other Arab countries pooling together against Iran instead of U.S. involvement any more. It should be their regional issue.

UAE and other Arab countries are preparing to join in the fight [Hidden Content]

True. Sauer’s rebuttal just chewed up the ACLU argument. Wow! He pointed out almost every case they referenced was BEFORE the 14th, and every case he cited was after. Still don’t know if it will be enough though. Gorsuch’s comment was troubling about accepting the ACLU argument and making a quick ruling. I really thought he would be more on the textualism/originalism side. Now, I’m not so sure.

If y’all come, stop by the Gold Star Memorial in La Porte (5 Points Park) while you’re here. It’s only a mile or two from Sylvan Beach in old downtown LP. Impressive monument. La Porte is a very veteran heavy community. [Hidden Content]

What we know is there were at least 4 Justices that believed the Government had a solid case. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have agreed to hear the case at all. The arguments are very interesting. Sauer is kind of hard to listen to with a raspy type voice & very fast speech. 😂

If you have YouTube, there are multiple live streams. Already showing protestors on the Reuters channel with signs saying Trump must go now, etc. look like well-funded groups. POTUS is on his way to attend. I think there’s gonna be a fight between a young black woman with a siren blasting over a Hispanic man with a microphone advocating automatic birthright citizenship. She’s shouting America First over him. This is gonna become WWE before it’s over .

YouTube link to listen live to the oral argument for those interested. Arguments are scheduled for an hour. But, I would imagine this one may run over the allotted time. It goes live at 9am. [Hidden Content]

This is unacceptable. It causes you to look at the positive side of things.

Y’all should start a separate Scripture/Beliefs discussion thread.

I wasn’t sure where to put this, or who may be interested. But, La Porte will be the first Texas city to host the U.S. Navy Fleet Week. Details are in the link. Come one and come all. Sylvan Beach is about 300 yards from LPHS and the new Bulldog Stadium. [Hidden Content]

Simple solution. Don’t feed the troll.

I think it’s the pinnacle of hubris to think that God would pick a political side.
