When it comes to gas and oil prices, Democrats in California are facing increasing push-back, as the U.S. Oil and Gas Association and others blast claims that the Iran conflict, President Trump, or so-called corporate greed are responsible for the state’s prices, which are among the highest in the nation.  Advertisement Governor Gavin Newsom’s Press Office thought it would test its luck against Chevron, writing on X, “While America suffers, Chevron profits.”

For emphasis, the governor posted a picture of a Reuters article stating that Chevron expects to earn between $1.6 billion and $2.2 billion in the first quarter of 2026.  However, they got absolutely destroyed by a community note pointing out that the State of California actually makes more profit per gallon of gas than any gas company does in the state.

But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

Ireland Out of Gas

Things have been dicey for a while on the Emerald Isle. But great googly moogly, do they look just awful right now. Mass protests have broken out across the country over the cost of living and the exorbitant price of fuel, with a paralyzed, intransigent government seen as unsympathetic and unwilling to do anything to relieve the suffering of the Irish working class. Fuel taxes, nut zero climate policies, and now the price shock of the Strait of Hormuz closure. For three straight days, convoys of farmers, their tractors, truck drivers, and many other angry citizens have been queuing on highways and city streets, effectively blocking traffic, although they have attempted to leave a lane free for emergency vehicles and the like.
