Been sayin’ for years, mess with California’s refineries and they’ll leave.
Seems every few months a democrat politician’ puffs up their chest
announcing more red tape or a new bill or regulation.

“…study by USC Professor Michael Mische found that the factors
which have contributed to California’s high gasoline prices over
50-years are self-imposed by state officials and politicians.
It turns out that California is its own worst enemy.”

Valero Announces it Will Shut Down Benicia Refinery April 2026,
“The decision reflects the growing impact of California’s increasingly
aggressive energy policies, which have made it more difficult for in-state
refineries to continue operating. ”

An after refiners let it be know they’ve had enough, newsom panics.
“I write to direct you to redouble the State’s efforts to work closely with refiners
on short- and long -term planning, including through high-level, immediate
engagement, to help ensure that Californians continue to have access to a safe,
affordable, and reliable supply of transportation fuels,” Newsom wrote.”

“…to help ensure that Californians continue to have access to a safe,
affordable, and reliable supply of transportation fuels,” REALLY ? ? ?
.
With refineries closed there’s only three options to get gasoline and
diesel into the state, by railroad tank cars, by tanker trucks or by ship.
Think prices are high now, wait until the added transportation costs
are tacked onto prices.
Transport cost by rail tank car $12 to $14 per barrel.

Transport by truck, . . .

Greg, …. Just a bit more on democrats and violence,
.
Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL) is calling for an “uprising” in the streets
of the United States until President Donald Trump stops his agenda
of increased interior immigration enforcement.”…
.
This week, Wilson joined other House Democrats in touring the Immigration
and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Krome Detention Center, which holds
criminal illegal aliens while they await their deportations from the U.S.
.
Following the tour, Wilson held a press conference where she told voters
to call the offices of congressional Republicans and “threaten” them.” …
.
“I’ve been giving out the phone numbers to the House of Representatives
and the Senate, it’s one number. That number you call, and you threaten them ,”
Wilson said:

I’m so glad I’m no longer a registered Democrat! The party is totally gone off the rails. You know it when their priorities are to protect foreign repeat -criminals above American citizens and favor biological men playing women’s sports. They are also against making voters prove they are a citizen to be able to register to vote. And now, this week, 2- democrat judges have been found hiding /helping to escape tren de aragua gang members. And you’ve got Nancy Pelosi out there again saying that the middle class is hurting because of Donald Trump’s trade tariff plans yet she was totally silent the last 4 years when we were really hurting under outrageous inflation! Dems are out of touch.
I personally think a lot of them are deranged.
Sooo….uhhh…those Epstein files, any day now, amirite?
