Quite an opus! Trump doesn't know much about the oil and gas business...Fracking investors lost 200-300 billion during the "boom"...There is currently an excess of natural gas, and no one is going to drill the shale at current prices...and fracking doesn't produce heavy oil for diesel, which the US requires most urgently...And generally, the easily reached oil in the US has been exploited...
There's probably a lot of oil in ANWAR and offshore Alaska, but the first has been banned for drilling, while the weather wrecked Chevron's attempts to drill there, losing 7 billion for its trouble....Canada might have a lot, so acquisition would be very useful!
Meanwhile, the fraudster Vivek and oily Elon have stirred up serious troubole for us with their expressed desire for unlimited H1-Bs for India, etc...Highly qualified white people can't even get interviews now because the billionaires want cheap foreign labor, and/or diversity...and having seen what the foreign labor actually produces, I'm appalled....
Finally, Trump needs to get over his warmongering impulses and deal with reality...I don't see how the US could fight a war anyway, with all our weapons going to Ukraine and Israel...and needless to say, Israel is a mad dog that needs to be put down, as it murders toddleers and claims they were terrorists...
I'm pretty much of the same opinion as Honest Sorcerer, though Doomberg makes a case for a somewhat more optimistic short term....
I continue to believe that Trump is a blow-hard with little interest in fitting his prejudices into a consistent world view. I’ll bet he will continue the legacy uniparty scam in which both factions have basically the same macro-policies cloaked in divisive culture-war language, psyops, and stunts. In other words, little will change.
I continue to wonder what influence Richard Nixon had on Trump, after Jean Dixon predicted to him and Pat that Trump would be POTUS, and they started having meetings in the late 1980s. There's a book about that. I didn't read it. Kyle Young did, and wrote a couple of blog posts on his Substack.
'And there were spots of bother: deregulation enabled the Savings and Loan debacle in which a third of the nation's S&L associations closed as $180 billion went up in smoke, losses that cost taxpayers $132 billion in bailouts.'
Why don't you call a spade a spade?
Criminal gangs on Wall Street set out to rob Main Street via unethical sales techniques and ordinary Americans lost their hard earned savings to foul-mouthed-, hard-drinking low-lifes who added nothing to the US economy and followed up a decade later with issuing ridiculous mortgages and then packaging them as CDOs, which created another fraudulent Ponzi scheme.
Until you see Wall Street for what it is, you can NEVER recover.
Modern Jews may traditionally trace their ancestry to the Holy Land, but a new genetic study finds otherwise. A detailed look at thousands of genomes finds that Ashkenazim—who make up roughly 80% of the world's Jews, including 90% of those in America and half of those in Israel—ultimately came not from the Middle East, but from Western Europe, perhaps Italy.
Most mainstream historians regard Ashkenazim as the descendants of Jews who moved into central Europe from the Middle East sometime before the 12th century C.E. Ashekenazim, like most members of this religious, cultural, and ethnic group, traditionally trace their ancestry to the ancient Israelites. The Israelites, in turn, arose between 3000 and 4000 years ago in the Middle East, according to both Biblical sources and archaeological evidence. They dispersed after the Romans destroyed their Second Temple in Jerusalem in 70 C.E.
Recent genetic work has supported this traditional view. Two studies, one led by geneticist Harry Ostrer of the New York University School of Medicine, and the other by geneticist Doron Behar of the Rambam Health Care Campus in Haifa, Israel, traced the three main Diaspora groups—Ashkenazim, Sephardim from Spain and Portugal, and Oriental Jews from the Middle East—to people who all lived in the Middle East about 2000 years ago. The Ostrer study used DNA from the nucleus of the cell in its analyses, and the Behar study used both nuclear and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA); the latter comes from tiny bodies in the living cell that provide it with energy. Many other researchers considered these results to be definitive at the time.
During the medieval period, hundreds of thousands of Europeans migrated to the Near East to take part in the Crusades, and many of them settled in the newly established Christian states along the Eastern Mediterranean coast. Here, we present a genetic snapshot of these events and their aftermath by sequencing the whole genomes of 13 individuals who lived in what is today known as Lebanon between the 3rd and 13th centuries CE. These include nine individuals from the “Crusaders’ pit” in Sidon, a mass burial in South Lebanon identified from the archaeology as the grave of Crusaders killed during a battle in the 13th century CE. We show that all of the Crusaders’ pit individuals were males; some were Western Europeans from diverse origins, some were locals (genetically indistinguishable from present-day Lebanese), and two individuals were a mixture of European and Near Eastern ancestries, providing direct evidence that the Crusaders admixed with the local population. However, these mixtures appear to have had limited genetic consequences since signals of admixture with Europeans are not significant in any Lebanese group today—in particular, Lebanese Christians are today genetically similar to local people who lived during the Roman period which preceded the Crusades by more than four centuries.
It seems to say that the mixing from the crusades didn't leave much of a mark:
"Crusaders admixed with the local population. However, these mixtures appear to have had limited genetic consequences since signals of admixture with Europeans are not significant in any Lebanese group today—in particular, Lebanese Christians are today genetically similar to local people who lived during the Roman period which preceded the Crusades"
I saw that as more politics than science. Strikes me from simply the time frame -3rd and 13th centuries CE - a demographic impact. Naturally I have not dove into papers on genetics but just thinking about lives lived in the cross roads by humans in 3rd and 13th centuries CE surely there is a human legacy woven in of which genes speak nothing of but family trees might.
Mitochondrial DNA studies would not catch the male crusaders, because mitochondrial DNA passes down through the mothers only. Mitochondria have their own DNA, which they keep to themselves, and it is in the egg, not the sperm.
Genghis Khan's Y-chromosome is the other side of the lineage coin.
Yes. Thanks for reminding me. Pretty funny in the end this "science truth." Swapping one Gospel out for the new model year approved by Technocracy. "What is truth? said jesting Pilate, and would not stay for an answer” is a line from the Gospel of John in the Christian Bible and from Francis Bacon's 1597 essay on truth. Ironic as well that Bacon favored torturing Nature to get at truth. Imperialists are always rushed.

Since you mentioned green animated chicken squawking (Doomberg), here is one germane debate worth hearing out:
Debate On "Peak Cheap Oil": Fact Or Overblown Fear? | Doomberg vs Adam Rozencwajg
https://youtu.be/EDLeAC8OeJY
Btw, … my penny bets on Rozencwajg side. Doomberg is more less a gasbag venting!
Anyway, … here on more from Rozencwaig:

F.S.
End 2018 crude oil production has not yet been met or exceeded, and that is not net production with EROI calculations.
Peak "conventional oil" was 2005ish and hotly debated.

Trump needs to charge the "news" sites that cover his bloviations.
"There is no such thing as 'bad publicity'", per Trump's viewpoint.

Love that song... a reader sent to me... for my latest post...
So spot on.

That being said, the Jews and Palestinians of the Levant are indistinguishable genetically.
A Jewish woman was married to the first Roman governor of what became England. https://dnaconsultants.com/britains-first-jew-woman/
I think you mean traditional population of Levant, not after Crusades population. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6506814/
