Gas Prices

I choose not to waste my time on things to prove I'm right or sway an opinion about something I can do nothing about. I have said before that the ego's here are unchecked.

I get it now. If Trump said it, like he would let someone else take credit or be first with good info. You can’t believe it. Or it’s reported as news. It must be fake news. 

I was just asking to get the story straight.  Jsdirt says one version.  You say another.     

Jsdirt said "Trump admitted today that we've grabbed 150 MILLION barrels of oil from the Iranian tankers locked in the Strait by our Navy. We turned off their transponders, took them out to sea in the dark of night since they have zero radar capabilities anymore, offloaded every drop onto another vessel, and put them back by morning so no one was the wiser. That oil has been en-route THROUGHOUT the entire conflict."

And yet here you are. Nothing to do with ego’s as far as I’m concerned. It’s information. Then it gets nasty and political mostly from Atlas. The old saying. He can’t handle the truth. But even that is subjective to the persons affiliation. I’m done debating here before the thread gets locked, which is where it’s headed.

Fightin fire with fire, kid. That's what you said in your post above

1,500,000 barrels of oil would run a Class 1 refinery for about 3 days. 

 

You guys are deep into where the ants on the boat came from as the Titanic is sinking.

The figure bandied about is "100 million barrels" so I think a decimal is off somewhere. But that doesn't change the outcome much when the expected flow through the Strait through over the same time should have been more than 2,000,000,000.

 

So 5%, if that number is even true, and there's sufficient data to believe it's not. Give that man another Fifa peace prize! 5% is less than the flow of a grapefruit-sized prostate blocking the release of cheap lager after a night of bingo.

Could you narrow down to what timestamp in this video where Trump says they took the ships out, pumped the oil out of them, and then put them back?  In the first few minutes he stated that ships were taken out during darkness.  I thought the media had already reported that the US was escorting ships out.  Nothing mentioned about draining them and putting them back.  Then he went in to seafood.  Please tell me where in the video he says this.  I'm just trying to validate your comments.

 

Your Glenn Beck video stated that the US did drain the oil from the ships and put them back.  Does he have inside information?  Just trying to validate.

 

He does, actually. In another unrelated video he mentions the president called him in the middle of the night to relay some information on a cause (religious based) that he's invested in. Glenn expressed concern that another leftist administration could wield too much power with some procedure the Pentagon was using, classifying certain religions a certain way. Being that he is LDS (Latter Day Saints), he gets hate all the time from ALL over the political spectrum, so he's invested in this. Trump called him back at 5AM to tell him he had made some changes to that classification.

 

So, yes, they are and have been in contact regularly since the start of the administration. Glenn, of course, always asks his permission before discussing anything on the air.

 

I already spent an hour or more just searching for these videos. I may have my numbers wrong - I'm not a numbers guy. It may have been a MILLION barrels, not 1.5. The point is, our President, by his actions, gives a crap about America, and US - this is completely OPPOSITE the actions of the prior administration who projected hatred for anyone who wasn't following the left's edicts in lock-step.

 

Remember, they called January 6th an "Insurrection", when there were ZERO weapons among the crowd, undercover FBI agents agitating the crowd, along with paid leftists acting as aggressors, egging the crowd on in an attempt to whip everyone into a frenzy. It's all been proven.  Pelosi refused Trumps request for more National Guard troops. This smells 100% like an inside job for those with critical thinking skills. Only a handful of guys in the crowd got wrapped up in that, thankfully, but EVERYONE was searched out based on cell phone data, and charges were brought against many. And 6 or so people were locked up and left in solitary confinement for YEARS with ZERO due process!! If you give the slightest crap about our Nation, REGARDLESS of your political leanings, this should frighten you to your core. This is what men suffered, bled, fought, and died against 250 years ago!

 

This has gone FAR BEYOND left vs. right. This is a  threat to America, and our way of life. This is PRECISELY why Trump, a BILLIONAIRE who could have chosen to take Melania and sit on some tropical island that he could afford to buy himself and RELAX, instead chose to run for office, get hate from literally every corner of the media, get ATTEMPTS on his LIFE constantly, and begin to repair some of the severe damage that's been done to this Great Nation.

 

I don't know why I bother wasting my precious time here. Everyone has their minds made up. They won't realize we all were correct until it's too late ... after they elect another tyrant that hates America to office (Obama), or another puppet whose administration is secretly running the show behind the scenes (Biden).

WTI futures / speculation is just that. WTI futures <> current 4-7% inflation and national average gas price over $4.00/gallon.

 

The spot price, at delivery, is currently $87-$95/barrel which is why gas prices remain high.

Ops, Right you are. Okay I can still work with that. 

 

The USA has 129 working Refineries with a total crude capacity of 17,943,810 barrels per operating day

Split proportionally to their size over them all that is 5.6 days of run time. He could sneak out 10X that much and not keep them cooking for two months. 

 

Now about that Titanic  Shall we continue to argue about rearranging the deck chairs?
