Hegseth is live speaking to the brass.

No. maybe fifth, and its heavy sour.

I believe that the majority of refineries in the US are set up for heavy sour.

Venezuela holds the largest proven oil reserves in the world, with approximately 303 billion barrels of crude oil as of 2025. This figure places Venezuela above Saudi Arabia and Iran, which rank second and third, respectively. These reserves, primarily located in Venezuela's Orinoco Belt, consist of extra-heavy crude oil that requires advanced extraction technology

Oh? I suppose you think you do, too.?

Alright then.

As any CEO knows. You can't make good decisions with out good advice.
And good advice comes from having good experienced people.

Pep Rally

When is he going to start tossing out MAGA Hats?

Would you like Pelosi to address your group? All it takes is money.

 

[postman]

Well. Trump made up "Priming the Pump" as a saying. No one had ever heard it before he said it in 2017 (at least in his head).

And most people don't know that Abraham Lincoln was a republican.

The man thinks everybody is as uneducated as he is.

Alright then.

It's not a high bar when Trump is involved.

Of course, the bloviating liar knows more about anything than anyone who has ever existed.



Except the Epstein files............LOL.

I think that by redefining the role from 'defense' to 'war' he may be implying that will somehow justify more military action around the world, so nothing has really changed except semantics.

Well, he'll have to give up on "peace through strength"

Of course.

But should I take this from two people trying to armchair quarterback the Secretary of Defense/War?

Perhaps give him a call and tell him what you told me.

Hegseth looks the part and he wants the U.S military to be strong and dependable.

As a citizen who loves freedom and knows what it is to have it stolen, we are all praying for his success.

Well for you, the bar is already set pretty low for people on your side who serve in the Executive Branch.

I would think you would want the bar higher?

Pete is a natural leader.

 

[postman]

That saying is older than Trump..

But not by much....

In Trump's case I recommend "You can't teach an old dog, new tricks."

It's not the quality or quantity of oil, we want it all. The one thing you can't do is price and sell it outside of the US dollar, a fatal mistake to not honor the dollar as the reserve currency. https://www.financialexpress.com/ma...e-chinese-yuan-among-other-currencies-848997/

Trump blamed the UN because a white house photographer tripped the escalator safety.
And the white house staff, running the white house teleprompter at the UN, didn't run it right.

When Trump's staff messes up. He blamed the United Nations.

What he forgets, is it was wimps like J. Robert Oppenheimer that won WW II.

Do you really think you should bring up "bar", in a discussion about Pete Hegseth?

If you cannot stay on topic, I will not engage with you further.

Really?

Like who?

The insurance lawyer, who is a US prosecutor who has never tried a case?
The education secretary who mistakes artificial intelligence with a steak sauce?
The moron who thinks US tariffs are paid by foreign suppliers?

I would think you would want the bar higher?

I would think Trump's supporters would want that, then again they voted for the idiot 3 times.

These same wimps shared the bomb with Russia.
