This is a stand alone because it so precisely sums up every complaint I have had about the "experts" for the past decade. They always imply the "science is settled" and you should just shut up and believe what the experts say.
As a scientist, I have been crushed to hear the stupidity...that you are not supposed to question. My most concerning moment came when they started to dictate masks. I looked up the studies for using masks for viruses...and they all said they were useless...especially for lay people who wouldn't use/fit them properly. I then went back to those studies a few weeks later and they had been taken down...WTF. And not because the data was found to be faulty, but for political reasons.
Fooled one time is a lesson, fooled twice is a choice...never again.

Thank you, DJT, from Way South Texas.
First time in 50 years - the US will build a new refinery. It will be located in Brownsville, TX.
From the America First Refining press release (Mar 10 2026):
The refinery is specifically engineered to process American light shale oil (47° API), which is cleaner, more efficient, and less costly to process than heavier imported crude. Unlike many existing U.S. refineries that depend on foreign oil, this facility is not dependent on – and does not need – imported crude, which strengthens U.S. national and economic security.
Key advantages of the facility include:
- Capacity up to ~60 million barrels per year
- Strategic location for distribution to US and international markets
- Production of some of the cleanest gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel refined in the US
And right up the road is Star Base, Musk's thriving Spacex city!

Uggh ... hate this wind. We lost another gutter downspout (4th time in the past year). No matter how tightly we screw it down, hours of 35mph+ winds just blast it away. 😞
Wind and hail damage can get expensive. At least the roof is still in tact. 😉
To all those in the paths of tornados this week, keep vigilant and stay safe.
