I miss that strong feeling in my heart when I watch the @dallascowboys. But it’s been a few decades and I don’t know if it’s possible.

Well done @russvought. Well done!!

Trump is right. Cornyn is wrong. Trump wants an end to the Ukraine war and engagement with Putin is a necessary condition for peace.

Diesel’s price surge isn’t primarily an export problem. It’s a scarcity problem. U.S. refineries recently ran near 97% utilization, while distillate inventories were about 13% below their five-year seasonal average. And when diesel averaged $5.60 in May, EIA estimated the price came from: 42% crude oil 25% refining 23% distribution & marketing 11% taxes So an export ban attacks the wrong part of the equation. It can redirect existing gallons temporarily, but it doesn’t produce another barrel of oil, expand refining capacity, or build pipelines and storage. Worse, restricting market access raises the policy risk surrounding the long-term investments needed to increase supply. Want cheaper diesel? Improve the fundamentals. More production. More refining. Lower barriers to investment. Fewer tariffs on productive inputs. Freer transportation and trade. High prices are telling us supply is scarce. Let’s respond by creating more of it, not by creating another government restriction. More on this in my newsletter tomorrow.

What the heck.

This is a bad order that will be overturned on appeal by the 5th Cir. Federal courts don't have constitutional authority to compel states to appropriate money or take new action. Fed courts can enjoin (🛑) current acts, but not compel new ones, i.e. install new AC. #txlege should ignore while @TXAG seeks reversal on appeal

BREAKING: US President Donald Trump says he had discussed a diesel export ban with his “people.” The discussion comes as a growing number of Republican lawmakers are calling for a ban on diesel exports as the key fuel hits record prices.

He pays the fine with money that has “In God We Trust” printed on it. #NFL

Christians: There is not one single molecule in the universe that is not under God’s complete control. Certainly, your circumstances are too. Remain faithful walking with God. Don’t try to orchestrate outcomes. Trust in God’s providence. He works all situations for the care of His people and His purposes.

BREAKING: Saudi Arabia has now confirmed it shut down its East-West oil pipeline following “multiple attacks” on Thursday. Riyadh has not provided a timeline for when the conduit would be operational again. The attacks resulted in a “number” of injuries.

There are a lot of good lessons in these comments if you are humble. Everybody has to start somewhere. Key takeaways 1. Socialism kills millions of people. 2. Don't place your barrel on the bag. It makes your point of impact inconsistent. 3. Your scope mount shouldn't be on the handguard at all. It will also make your point of impact inconsistent. 4. Vertical grips are for the early GWOT guys 5. Posting on social media is risky. 6. Find manlier role models.
