Saudi Arabia Is Slashing Oil Supply — And It Could Mean Higher Gas Prices For US Drivers

Saudi Arabia will reduce how much oil it sends to the global economy, taking a unilateral step to prop up the sagging price of crude after two previous cuts to supply by major producing countries in the OPEC+ alliance failed to push oil higher.

The Saudi cut of 1 million barrels per day, to start in July, comes as the other OPEC+ producers agreed in a meeting in Vienna to extend earlier production cuts through next year.

Calling the reduction a “lollipop,” Saudi Energy Minister Abdulaziz bin Salman said at a news conference that “we wanted to ice the cake.” He said the cut could be extended and that the group “will do whatever is necessary to bring stability to this market.”
The new cut would likely push up oil prices in the short term, but the impact after that would depend on whether Saudi Arabia decides to extend it, said Jorge Leon, senior vice president of oil markets research at Rystad Energy.
The move provides “a price floor because the Saudis can play with the voluntary cut as much as they like,” he said.

The slump in oil prices has helped U. S. drivers fill their tanks more cheaply and gave consumers worldwide some relief from inflation.

Eve Carson, 22 y/o, she was class president, top of her class and a straight A student who was loved by everyone she came across and never made anyone feel like an outsider. Her academic success was so great that she got full scholarship to both Harvard and Yale. In addition to her academic success, she was also class president and was a humanitarian, who travelled to developing countries to teach and provide aid to children. Eve's life goal was to do medicine and at the time of her death, she was studying pre-med at the University of North Carolina.

In 2008, she was targeted by two criminals, who were looking to rob her. They broke into her apartment and kidnapped her then stole money from her account (~1400 USD). Once, the daily limit was reached, they then walked her out to an intersection, in a woody area, and killed her. Before, they shot her 4 times, it was said that Eve had asked for them to pray with her, when she realized they were going to kill her. Her body was discovered the following morning.

For the next couple of days, the two killers continued to take money from her account, which eventually allowed police to track and find them. Both men were sentence to life in prison and the entire nation of North Carolina moaned for her death. Her funeral service was one of the biggest ever seen in the state at the time. Posthumously, the dean of the university that Eve attended, awarded her the title of most exception female student of her graduating class. In addition to this, a scholarship and a memorial garden were also created to honor her. Eve was so well loved that even to this day, people still know of her name on campus and remember her fondly.

Do you think this young woman should be honored with a statue at North Carolina University?

Ron DeSantis Outlines Vision To Remold Supreme Court, Takes Subtle Jab At Trump

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis offered conservative Christians a two-term plan to shove the Supreme Court even further to the right on Monday.

DeSantis has yet to officially announce his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination. But he was in full campaign mode, hoping to rouse the party’s religious base with the prospect of a 7-2 conservative advantage in the high court over eight years. The time span reference was likely a veiled dig at his potential rival for the White House, former President Donald Trump, who is only eligible to serve one more four-year term.

“I think if you look over the next two presidential terms, there is a good chance that you could be called upon to seek replacements for Justice Clarence Thomas and Justice Samuel Alito and the issue with that is, you can’t really do better than those two,” DeSantis told the National Religious Broadcasters convention in Orlando, per The Washington Post.
DeSantis warned of a jurist replacement in the mold of John Roberts, a conservative who is perceived by many to be a centrist.

“If you replace a Clarence Thomas with somebody like a Roberts or somebody like that, then you’re gonna actually see the court move to the left, and you can’t do that,” he said.
DeSantis suggested that Roberts and liberal Sonia Sotomayor might also retire in the near future.

New Hampshire voters react after Trump's town hall

Former President Donald Trump's return to New Hampshire to participate in a CNN town hall created buzz for staunch supporters relishing in his dominance of the polls.

"I thought last night was a tremendous clear messaging from President Trump," said Republican real estate investor Steve Richard. "I think that audience reflected that over and over again."

Trump took questions from Republican and independent Granite State voters and repeated fraudulent claims that the 2020 election was stolen and said he would have the Russian war in Ukraine "settled within one day."

New Hampshire voters will be the first in the nation to cast primary ballots for a Republican presidential nominee early next year, yet some Trump voters appear not to be swayed by several legal issues facing the former president.

Earlier this week, Trump was found liable for sexual abuse and defamation against writer E. Jean Carroll. She was awarded $5 million in damages after a jury sided with her unanimously, but Trump called Carroll's story "fake" and "made up" on Wednesday night

June Dickerson, an independent who voted for Trump, says she believes him.

"He's a very honorable man," she said. "He always said what was on his mind. He was always honest and forthright and I don't believe lies."

Louise Hoyt, a Republican voter, said she plans to vote for Trump again

Call It Trump’s Coup Attempt, Because It Damned Well Was

Donald Trump once famously bragged that he could shoot someone on Manhattan’s Fifth venue and not lose any supporters.

What he didn’t mention was how quickly the news media would pretend like it never even happened.
Instead, we’d focus on the latest juicy tidbits of who was in and who was out among the Mar-a-Lago crowd. We’d write features about how his old crew had migrated to South Florida with him and how the state itself had become “Trump-ified” in his image. And we’d scramble over each other for “scoops,” such as who is about to endorse him, or when and where his next rally would be, with the hope of winning an invitation aboard his private jetliner.

How do I know this?
Because we’re doing it right now. Donald Trump is the only president who used the threat of violence and then actual violence in an attempt to remain in power — the very definition of a coup. It was the singular unique act of his tenure, truly historic. In 232 years of elections, no other president had done anything remotely close to what Trump did.

Failing to mention Jan. 6 in a story about Trump is akin to writing about Neil Armstrong without mentioning the moon landing or about Jeffrey Dahmer without bringing up cannibalism.

All of which makes the use of that word, “coup,” critically important.
While many outlets did use it during the Jan. 6 hearings last summer, with the evidence of Trump’s behavior getting plenty of airtime, you almost never see it now that Trump is actively seeking the White House again.

Donald Trump Reportedly Got Mad At A Journalist And ‘Tossed’ His Phones

Donald Trump reportedly “tossed” to one side two cellphones belonging to NBC News’ Vaughn Hillyard after getting frustrated by the journalist’s questions about the investigation into the Stormy Daniels hush money case.

The former president told Hillyard not to “ask me any more questions” during a press gaggle on board his airplane returning from a campaign rally in Waco, Texas, on March 25, The Washington Post and Vanity Fair reported on Tuesday.

In the exchange that both media outlets obtained audio of, Trump reportedly slammed Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s probe into the payment to Daniels — for which the 2024 Republican presidential candidate was indicted about a week later — as a “fake investigation.”
“I don’t want to talk to you,” Trump told Hillyard, who followed up his questions with Trump several times, per the audio.

“You’re not a nice guy,” Trump added

.
When Hillyard asked Trump another question later in the gaggle, the former reality TV personality responded: “Let’s go, get him out of here. Outta here. Outta here.”
After ascertaining that two phones on the table belonged to Hillyard, the former president “tossed the phones to the side,” reported the Post, “onto the seat next to him,” said Vanity Fair.

Adams lashes out at national Republicans for casting city as crime-ridden

Mayor Eric Adams on Wednesday voiced irritation with former President Donald Trump's renewed presence in the city for various legal proceedings and national Republicans' depiction of Manhattan as dangerous place that disregards victims' rights.

“We thought that we were in a good place because he was in Florida and, you know, he didn't tie up our city,” Adams said at an unrelated press conference Wednesday, when asked about preparing for another Trump visit. “Now, he's going to be back here often.”

Trump is scheduled to return to New York later this week to give a deposition in state Attorney General Tish James' business fraud lawsuit against him and his real estate firm.

The historic indictment of the former president by the Manhattan district attorney brought hundreds of protesters last week to the Manhattan criminal courthouse.

Meanwhile Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, a darling of progressive Democrats for his criminal justice reform policies, has drawn the ire of House Republicans, who say the top prosecutor should focus on violent offenders instead of Trump's alleged involvement in a hush money scheme. They plan to hold a so-called "field hearing" in New York City next week on violent crime.

Adams criticized House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) for his hearing’s singular focus on New York City when “crime in congressional Republican areas per capita is through the roof." He faulted southern states for the “proliferation of guns” flowing to major cities.
