Transform and create as much division as possible.

This would make sense if we were at war with TdA. We are not.
trump is promising complete security for the oil companies. Turing the US military into a security force for private industry is pretty transformative.
Maybe he’s a commie in disguise.
Anyway whatever Trump says is all good.
Clearly you have trust issues seek help!
no commitments from the oil execs from the grand meeting yesterday. Trump trying to convince people to invest in a fleet of taco trucks except they all need new engines and transmissions, the roof is leaking but they can only charge $2 a taco same as Taco Bell. Chevron has a decently maintained truck so they are staying in.
you are mistaken. we are.
The administration according to the law empowering it to do so, declared TdA a foreign terrorist org
The administration identified and is repelling TdA incursions in accordance with the constitutional authority of the President
we are at war
so again, I’ll bring up the one thing you should be arguing for instead of all this leftist handwringing about a dictator. The WPA and the Congress invoking it.

It is what Obama tried and failed to do in Libya, unless of course you don’t think Libya was about oil. In which case I have a bridge for sale.

Notice how the Trump-addicts blame Trump for their unstable addiction to him.

Trump opined he didn’t like what Exxon said about Venezuela being uninvestible and might ban them from re-entering. I’m sure keeping the oil majors from getting their investments back via executive order that have been judged in their favor by the courts already, really boosted the chances. Guyana right next door is being heavily invested by Exxon and others and that countries oil output 100k bpd in 2020 to already 900k bpd from Exxon invested fields. Daily oil production hits 900,000 barrels in Guyana's Stabroek block | ExxonMobil Guyana
There is no shareholder value in putting billions in private capital into Venezuela when that money can be more profitably be allocated elsewhere. Trump has to put US taxpayer money and boots on the ground to achieve those goals but he doesn’t want to do that so here we are.
And not on Trump supporter would have a problem if Trump decided to ban certain oil companies.
Hilarious.

This could go under a lot of topics.
In a study published January 8, 2026, in Science, experts from the University of Maryland, University of Chicago, and Stanford University concluded that opioid death declines were driven by a major disruption in the global supply of illicit fentanyl.
The new study offers a well-documented analysis. The authors used a range of data, including mortality surveillance, forensic drug testing, chemical precursor monitoring, and social media signals. The sources pointed to a major disruption in the global fentanyl supply. In economic terms, the fentanyl market faced a supply shock—a sudden change in how much of something is available and/or a significant change in its quality—starting mid-to-late 2023. The shock alters the market price, and as a result. drugs become less potent and/or harder to find.
Trump did this!
He was President in mid-to-late 2023?
Do you guys ever actually read what you post?
My God did you even read your link?

The findings also suggest that international chemical precursor regulation and drug production controls played a decisive role in saving tens of thousands of lives. Beginning in mid-2023, provisional mortality data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) showed a major decline in opioid overdose deaths in the U.S. By late 2024, annual overdose deaths involving synthetic opioids had fallen nearly a third."
Thanks Joe!
“The most visible signal of change was large, unexplained declines in overdose deaths. In the U.S., decline in opioid overdose mortality began after mid-2023 and accelerated through 2024. By the end of 2024, synthetic-opioid deaths had dropped by more than one-third. DEA data showed the purity of fentanyl pills declined beginning in the first quarter of 2024. Canadian national quarterly overdose deaths began declining in the third quarter of 2023, matching the timing of the U.S. downturn.”
