Nothing in the presentation is false or a lie.

He LIED, he "Lawson" said the pipeline shutdown on Dec 15th.
It didn't.



No, the San Pablo Bay Pipeline has not been shut down as of January 1, 2026.

This refers to the San Pablo Bay Pipeline, a major crude oil pipeline operated by Crimson Midstream LLC in California. It transports oil from the Bakersfield area (Kern County) to refineries in the San Francisco Bay Area, such as PBF Martinez and Valero Benicia.

Throughout 2025, the pipeline faced severe financial distress due to declining volumes (operating at around 17% capacity), losses of millions per month, and risks from refinery closures. The operator warned of a potential shutdown as early as fall 2025 or into Q1/Q2 2026 without regulatory relief like rate increases from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC).

Some YouTube videos from late December 2025 claim it "died" or "shut down permanently," likely sensationalizing the ongoing crisis or speculating on an imminent closure. However, no confirmed reports from reliable sources (e.g., Bloomberg, POLITICO, Forbes, or company statements) indicate an actual shutdown by early 2026. The company's website remains active with operational information, and discussions focused on threats rather than completion of a shutdown.

If a shutdown occurred very recently (late December 2025), it might not yet be widely reported, but available evidence points to it still being at risk rather than closed. Note that separate water pipeline projects in areas like San Pablo Avenue (by East Bay Municipal Utility District) are unrelated construction/replacement efforts, not shutdowns.

He said that the pipeline operators sent a letter to Newscum that they could not continue to operate at a $2 billioin dollar loss PER MONTH! And that they were going to close the pipline because no business can sustain that kind of loss.

$2 MILLION a month, not $2 Billion.
But what's a few Zeros?

So find us a link proving that the pipeline shut down on Dec 15th, as this guy claims.

So Trump broke you, eh?

Well, not suprised really.

Have a nice night.

Did you know that deadly fires are being started by flatulence lighting? While such pranks have always seemed harmless, today’s unhealthy diet, particularly Doritos, can lead to flatulence having SIGNIFICANTLY greater gas content.

Newsom showed us all who he was during Covid. He imposed severe restrictions on the "little people" but was caught wining and dining at the French Laundry. The minions don't care, they buy into the lies, excuses and the pretty boy memes.

It gets worse.

i don't quite get how 'oil companies are taking advantage of taxpayers' here Dark one..... ....it would appear this CPUC has a stranglehold on those companies to the point of being unprofitable.......~S~

It is about to take one of the hardest hits it has felt since Sept. 11, 2001.

Californians are already being price gouged by their own goverment for gas, not is about to get even worse.

OMG it's now Newsom's fault? Wow!

National Price increases are expected in 2026 across several sectors, driven by tariffs, pharmaceutical price hikes (350+ drugs), and expiring health insurance subsidies. specific areas like home goods, beer, and groceries will face higher costs, with general tech and health costs rising.

What pisses me off is the oil companies have a President who killed alternative energy for them. The oil companies make plenty of money. I suspect they dropped prices recently to help Trump because his poll numbers are under water/in the red.

I learned recently the most wind mills are in Texas. Did you know that?
