Diesel prices are at an all-time high. But so are exports. We exported 1.9 MBPD last month. This is almost 40% of the US production of 5 MBPD. If Trump banned/capped exports there would be an immediate increase in US supply and drop in prices. Putin does this for Russia. Why not Trump?

To escape the heat of about 100° near Petaluma we drove to the coast. Only about 20 miles away. It is 25° cooler and we got beautiful views of bodega Bay and a beautiful sunset.

Trump just wants chaos for November voting. That way Mike Johnson can refuse to seat winners because of uncertainties in the election. It will be tied up in courts for years. Here’s what Johnson is doing to protect GOP control now. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

First day of Trump’s forever war. Lies for justification, vague and unachievable goals, no exit strategy. Saying people should rise up would lead to an Iranian civil war. We should have to back our side. Perhaps this is what Trump wants. Will Barron sign up?

The DOJ can “investigate” Trump and fiends on child abuse and keep it under wraps. They slow walk the investigations and then declare them inconclusive. They can delete all records of inconclusive investigations in cases of child abuse. Trump signed the “disclosure” act - he knew he was safe.

For centuries the world, galaxy and universe are bigger than we believed possible. Now the observable universe is 92 BLY in diameter. Based on the lack of curvature, the total universe must be at least 400 TLY in diameter. So what we see is at most 1.13 e-9 vol % of the total. Mind blown. 🧪

Studies suggest that the universe is rotating because many galaxies have the same spin direction as do their SMBHs. Earlier the rotation would be much faster to maintain angular momentum. Might this have caused eddies, forming SM black holes prior to the formation of stars and not III stars? 🧪
