$8 a gallon gas as two refineries shut down




The Marxist Democrat Party hates economic and social freedom


Two large California oil refineries are shutting down, triggering mounting concerns from state legislators, industry groups and many others.

Assemblymember Mike A. Gipson of the Gardena district bluntly described his concern during a recent Sacramento hearing.

“This is a tremendous loss,” Gipson told NBC Los Angeles, referring to the looming closure of the Phillips 66 plant near L.A. "The jobs that it holds, the individuals… working each and every day, those individuals live in my district, they shop in my district, they add to the economy in my district."



The Phillips 66 and Valero’s Benicia sites are set to close in 2026. Together, the shutdowns will eliminate nearly 300,000 barrels-per‑day of refining capacity — roughly 20% of the total used in the state.

Valero attributed its decision to “years of regulatory pressure (and) significant fines for air quality violations,” including an $82 million penalty levied in 2024. Phillips 66 similarly cited business challenges stemming from California’s strict environmental regulations.

"They have said that they cannot do business in the state of California," Gipson reiterated. “The regulatory agencies have imposed on the refiners of California very stringent regulation that makes it very difficult for them to remain in the state of California.”

The way Gipson sees it, the state should do everything it can to ensure that its remaining refineries stay in California.

"The Crossing" Washington's Great Victory



Washington crossing of the Delaware
James Monroe is depicted as holding the flag.


"Modern" Generals direct their troops from as far behind the lines as possible (preferably near a golf course).

Washington put his body on the front lines.

This should be shown in every history class in America.  Jeff Daniels is brilliant as George Washington. 


 



"First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen, he was second to none in the humble and endearing scenes of private life. Pious, just, humane, temperate, and sincere; uniform, dignified, and commanding, his example was as edifying to all around him as were the effects of that example lasting."

"Who is there that has forgotten the vales of Brandywine, the fields of Germantown, or the plains of Monmouth? Everywhere present, wants of every kind obstructing, numerous and valiant armies encountering, himself a host, he assuaged our sufferings, limited our privations, and upheld our tottering republic."


General Henry Lee III

American Revolutionary veteran.  Delivered his famous eulogy on Washington before the two Houses of Congress on December 26, 1799.

July 4th, 1776 - Bikinis, Guns and Freedom




Happy 4th of July

Every July 4th I ponder the greatness and bravery of our Founding Fathers.

The fucking British were nasty bastards with a history of torture, beheadings and mass murder of those who dared to oppose the King.

For example, Scottish Freedom Fighter William Wallace was taken to the Tower of London, then stripped naked and dragged through the city at the heels of a horse to the Elms at Smithfield. He was hanged, drawn and quartered — strangled by hanging, but released while he was still alive, emasculated, eviscerated and his bowels burned before him, beheaded, then cut into four parts. His preserved head (dipped in tar) was placed on a pike atop London Bridge.

Our Founders were giants.  The bulk of our current crop of political hacks are either raging Marxist traitors or sheep frightened of their own shadow.  

So sad.

Your Editor is taking a few well earned days off for the 4th.  I will be enjoying food, drink and fireworks on the beautiful California central coast.

See you down the Internet road.






The Green Mountain Boys

The Green Mountain Boys was a militia organization first established in the late 1760s in the territory between the British provinces of New York and New Hampshire, known as the New Hampshire Grants and later in 1775 as the Vermont Republic (which later became the state of Vermont). It was headed by Ethan Allen.

the Green Mountain Boys led by Ethan Allen captured Fort Ticonderoga on Lake Champlain on May 10, 1775; and invaded Canada in 1775. 


We owe no allegiance, we bow to no throne, 
Our ruler is law and the law is our own; 
Our leaders themselves are our own fellow-men, 
Who can handle the sword and the scythe and the pen 
Hurrah for Vermont! For the land that we till 
Must have sons to defend her from valley and hill 
Our vow is recorded--our banner unfurled, 
In the name of Vermont we defy all the world! 
Then cheer, cheer, the green mountaineer, then cheer the green mountaineer

Screw The "News"
I'm Blue Pilling it with Warrior Women

  • Damn, it feels good taking the Blue Pill, ignoring the news and losing myself in SciFi and Fantasy.

  • I say let the War-Pigs burn Ukraine to the fucking ground and start World War III. The liar politicians don't care so why should I give a shit?
  • I refuse to be a puppet on the strings of the corrupt media complex. I will not dance on command to their latest propaganda.
