"Here’s a reminder that Republicans control all 3 branches of the government, and that the GOP has blocked bills Democrats have introduced to fund TSA and end the shutdown TEN TIMES."

The simpleton who wrote this doesn't know that it takes 60 seats to control the senate and the republicans currently have 53.

Am I missing something here or am I being dense... Democrat senators would vote for bills Democrats introduced, no?

Chevron threatening to leave California​


Chevron said it is threatening to close its oil refineries in California due to overregulation, which the oil company said is contributing to price spikes amid the war in Iran.

Due to California’s taxes, emissions rules and other regulations, which hit gas costs harder than in many other states, the price per gallon is well over the national average.

Tehran’s decision to effectively shut off the Strait of Hormuz has left millions of barrels of crude oil stationary, hurting economies in Asian countries, which heavily rely on oil from the Middle East.

In turn, Chevron, which imports fuel from China, South Korea and Singapore, is facing the brunt of the blockade. Amid the energy crisis, Beijing has banned fuel exports.

Andy Walz, who heads Chevron’s oil refining efforts, said leaders in California should be worried about the possibility of a fuel deficit in the Golden State.

“We have refineries in Asia that are having to cut crude, and so they’re going to make less products,” Walz said in an interview with Bloomberg on Tuesday. “What if San Francisco doesn’t have the jet fuel it needs? Or Los Angeles? Or maybe gasoline?”

The Chevron executive said California has decided to “rely on imports,” which is playing a “dangerous game” when it comes to the fuel market.


My comment: Two other refineries are already leaving California. This what happens when Democrats have total control in a state.

Valero is in the process of doing so as well. They killed the golden goose with their sheer stupidity. Impossible to keep up with the nonsensical environmental and general business unfriendliness.

Shouldn't a post like this say at least when the vote was and exactly what was voted on? Otherwise there's no way to know if there's something to it, or just more of the crap that spews from political organizations. The latest vote on this that I can find in a search engine was 8 months ago, or could be totally fictitious.

Israel's next scheduled legislative election is set for October 27, 2026, to elect the 26th Knesset, though early elections can be called if the government loses its majority or fails to pass the annual budget by March 31.
