Biden Admin Quietly Greenlights Plan to
Build Huge Gulf Oil Terminal

Original Article

Posted By: earlybird, 11/24/2022 1:41:54 PM

The Biden administration has quietly approved plans to build a new crude oil terminal in the Gulf of Mexico off Texas, seemingly in contradiction to the president’s climate agenda. The Department of Transportation’s Maritime Administration approved the application (pdf) for Enterprise’s Sea Port Oil Terminal, one of four proposed offshore oil export terminals, (snip) 4.8 million barrels of storage capacity and add 2 million barrels per day to the U.S. oil export capacity. “(snip) a reliable source of crude oil to U.S. allies in the event of market disruption and have a minimal impact on the availability and cost of crude oil in the U.S. domestic market.”

Proof that the Biden policies have nothing to do with the environment or global warming, but rather with the destruction of America as we have known it.

#10, Average American citizens like me are the ones that make our livelihood in the petroleum industry. You are welcome to shut oil out of your life if you like. To answer some other questions, a lot of Texas oil is a lighter oil that is needed in places that produce heavier oil that is better for producing diesel and fuel oil. Several of the refineries here were overhauled to refine heavy crude from places such as Venezuela before the old Democrat policies choking our petroleum industries were changed under BUXH. (Windfall profits tax and no exports allowed). We can sell a little of our lite crude at a premium price and buy heavier crude at a slightly lower price and combine them for our own refineries enabling them to operate much, much smoother. Of course, being able to sell things to other countries enables us to pay for some of the stuff we import, like underwear, medicine, and virtually everything.

Perhaps the US is going into the business of exporting the oil we purchased from Russia and Venezuela? Probably at a loss. The US doesn't have oil to export. Perhaps this is part of Biden's strategy to get the US off of fossil fuels. We will sell it rather than use it. Gasoline shortages will get worse. Further incentive for people to purchase an EV which our government 'leaders' are heavily invested in. Welcome to bizarro world. People voted for this.

A "minimal impact on the availability and cost of crude oil in the U.S. domestic market.”? I can only assume that big terminal will only serve to send our oil overseas and none will continue to be processed for us. We'll end up like Ukraine this year. No energy for heat.

I guess the Biteme administration is looking at this as a way to reduce the huge deficits their political party has created by selling oil. The oil won't go into the strategic reserve, and it won't reduce the price of energy in this country when completed. That's not their plan. The only good thing is that by the time these terminals are completed, the Biteme administration will be just an ugly memory.

Just remember we are being lied to on a daily basis about everything. Figures don't add up when it comes to dollars spent in Ukraine, employment numbers, illegal invader numbers right down to barrels of oil we only know it's expensive to purchase. This is a fraud government with a fraud as president who resides in the nation's White House. I wouldn't believe a thing that is told to us by this cabal of lying thieves. Exporting oil, why? I guess the purpose is to deplete fossil fuel quicker to go all electric in the next few years. FJB

Garland’s Special Counsel Gambit Confirms

In a Friday news dump, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced he’s appointed U.S. attorney for the District of Delaware, David Weiss, as special counsel in the probe of Hunter Biden. “I have concluded,” Garland claimed, “that it is in the public interest to appoint him as special counsel.” Which makes zero sense. Wasn’t Weiss already responsible for the “ongoing investigation” of President Joe Biden’s son “as well as for any other matters that arose or may arise from that investigation?” For years now, Garland claimed that Weiss had ultimate authority to investigate charges against Hunter or any other criminality related to the Biden family business. Yet he didn’t do anything.

WASHINGTON—District Judge Tanya Chutkan opposed the request by prosecutors to bar former President Donald Trump from revealing non-sensitive evidence provided to him by the prosecutors ahead of the trial on whether he conspired to illegally obstruct the counting of the 2020 electoral votes. During an Aug. 11 hearing in Washington, she decided to issue a gag order that only forbids the release of information prosecutors label as sensitive. The prosecutors, with the office of special counsel Jack Smith, requested a blanket gag order, citing concerns over safety and intimidation of witnesses. The judge questioned the defense over the potential use of non-sensitive information to intimidate witnesses.

Barack Obama is often hailed as one of the greatest orators in modern politics. While he had undeniable gifts in that department, as someone who attended a number of his speeches in person, I never quite understood all the praise. Setting aside his career-making “red states, blue states” speech at the 2004 Democratic convention — a plea for political moderation he spent his time in office repudiating — the only memorable things Obama said were either campaign pablum such as “hope and change,” or remarks that were unintentionally revealing.

At least one class action lawsuit is reportedly being considered, which could see the company blamed for the disaster that has so far killed at least 80 people and razed over 2,200 buildings to the ground. 'From what we’ve learned, we believe the Lahaina fires could have been prevented had proper safety precautions been taken,' said Gerald Singleton, a lawyer involved with the potential legal action, to the New York Times.
