It absolutely enrages me like nothing ever has before. The way these politicians lie is just the grossest thing I’ve ever seen. The Democrats’ green policies have absolutely destroyed the state of Massachusetts to the point where we pay $1,000 a month to heat and light our homes. This has absolutely nothing to do with Trump, and they know it.

@GuntherEagleman @HillsOutBack @PressSec The way she explained it in the beginning had me questioning if she was actually mentally retarded... then she comments that it sounds “crazy.” I had to stop watching. The stupidity is off the charts.

HOLY CRAP! MS Now's initial reaction segment just EXPOSED how panicked they are over Comey getting a subpoena in Florida's Southern District for the grand conspiracy probe. They even admit the HEAD OF THE BEAST is involved: Wallace said @PressSec "described former President Barack Obama as being very much in their sights as part of this investigation." Andrew Weissmann, a commie lawfare fck, REFUSED to admit that this grand jury means Trump knows that the conspiracy against him is ONGOING, but when you read between the lines, he can't hide the truth. "There's something that happened in Florida. And that's sort of the only thing I can think of that would be able to tie it to Florida. But remember, that is a case where a federal judge signed off on that search. And even Judge Cannon, I believe, in connection with motions there, rejected the idea that the defendant who made the claim that it was a sort of selective or vindictive prosecution. So I'm not really sure how they're going to claim that." People really need to watch this and understand just what's going on in Florida when it refers to Crossfire Hurricane and the people who tried to impeach Trump twice. This is an ONGOING CONSPIRACY and a grand jury has just subpoenaed the former director of the FBI. NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW
Andrew Kolvet@AndrewKolvet

JUST IN: Former FBI Director James Comey subpoenaed in Florida's grand conspiracy probe into Crossfire Hurricane abuses. The same grand jury Mike Davis flagged last October is now subpoeaning key players who targeted Trump with the Russia hoax. It's happening.

Prior to Operation Epic Fury, the Iranian regime used the Karaj Surface-to-Surface Missile Plant to assemble ballistic missiles that threatened Americans, neighboring countries, and commercial shipping. The photo dated March 1, 2026, shows the plant prior to U.S. strikes. The image dated March 11, 2026, shows the same location after U.S. forces struck the facility with precision munitions.

@lamps_apple Nice article, but don't try to sell Mark Levin as anything other than a raging insufferable Zionist. And this is coming from someone who used to listen to him 10 years ago and does think Iran is/was an imminent threat to the US... Mark's always been the "rage" talk show host.

@Cernovich “I AM MAGA” President Trump
Apple Lamps@lamps_apple

The left tells the MAGA base “you were wrong to support Trump.” The base rejects that instantly. It’s an attack on their identity. The Tucker & Kent types tell the base “you were right to support Trump, and Trump was right about everything… someone else corrupted the plan.” That’s an affirmation of identity. It feels good. It feels true. It feels like loyalty. And it leads to exactly the same place… opposition to the war, pressure for withdrawal, erosion of strategic resolve… while feeling like the opposite. The base doesn’t turn against Trump. The base turns against the war while believing they’re being more loyal to the “real” Trump than the Trump who is currently in the Oval Office making decisions. They create a phantom Trump… the Trump who would never have done this, the Trump who campaigned on “no more wars,” the “Trump they voted for”… and they pledge their loyalty to that phantom instead of to the actual President currently prosecuting the actual war. The Tucker and Kent types built the phantom. The base maintains it on their own. That’s why Trump’s counter-move has to be identity-based rather than policy-based. He can’t argue the base out of the framework with intelligence briefings or military statistics. He has to collapse the distance between himself and his own decisions. “THEY ARE NOT MAGA, I AM.” That sentence eliminates the phantom Trump. There is no “real” Trump who opposes this war. There is one Trump. He chose this. He owns it. And if you oppose it, you’re opposing him. Choose. The right flank’s permission structure works as long as the base can maintain the fiction that opposing the war is supporting “Trump”. Trump’s response destroys the fiction. That’s the fight.

Yes. It's hard for people to understand. Trump is not MAGA, but only Trump could have pushed the MAGA agenda. He is a singular personality. But had he run on, "Let's do a big war in Iran," 2024 would have been different. The agenda still matters the most.
FischerKing@FischerKing64

There is a cult of personality quality to the 40% voting base. Whoever comes after Trump is not going to have an unshakable 40%. The rift opening up with the latest war is going to make the 2028 primaries brutal if it doesn’t wind up soon.

On January 26th, 2024, Joe Biden froze all new permits for LNG export terminals. A TikToker met with White House climate advisors, the Sunrise Movement called it "monumental," Climate Defiance called it "the most significant move any President has ever made on stopping fossil fuels," and Senator Jeff Merkley said LNG was "actually worse for the environment than coal." 170 scientists signed a letter to Biden "imploring" him to ban new LNG terminals. The White House published a press release celebrating the decision. The Sierra Club cheered. Food & Water Watch cheered. The entire progressive climate apparatus celebrated what they believed was the beginning of the end for American natural gas exports. The pause froze permits for roughly 19 billion cubic feet per day of LNG export capacity that had been approved but hadn't broken ground yet. That is more capacity than the United States currently has operational. Biden's DOE said the review would take at least 12-15 months. Everyone understood the real timeline... it was designed to run past the 2024 election and potentially never conclude if the right candidate won. A federal judge in Louisiana struck down the pause in July 2024. Biden's DOE slow-walked compliance. The permits didn't move. The projects stalled. Financing dried up because banks wouldn't fund terminals with uncertain regulatory futures. Wood Mackenzie warned that "buyers could start to look at competing projects outside of the US, such as those in Canada, Australia and particularly Qatar, as alternative supply sources." Qatar. That's the place to remember. Biden's LNG pause told the world that the United States was an unreliable supplier. That American energy policy could change overnight because a TikToker got a meeting at the White House. That terminals costing $10-20 billion each could be frozen mid-approval by executive whim. That the world's largest LNG exporter was governed by people who considered its primary export product "worse than coal." The world's energy buyers heard that message and made the rational decision. They signed more contracts with Qatar. QatarEnergy expanded. Qatar's reputation as the world's most reliable LNG supplier strengthened... because America's reputation as a reliable supplier was being actively sabotaged by its own government. Trump reversed the pause on Day One. January 20th, 2025. Executive Order 14154, "Unleashing American Energy." The DOE resumed permit processing immediately. Commonwealth LNG in Louisiana received the first approval on February 14th, 2025. Energy Secretary Chris Wright declared a return to "regular order." The pipeline of pending projects... CP2 in Louisiana, Sabine Pass expansion, Lake Charles terminal, Port Arthur Phase 2 in Texas... began moving again. But time was lost. Fourteen months of frozen permits. Fourteen months of stalled financing. Fourteen months of uncertainty that pushed buyers toward Qatar and away from the United States. Fourteen months during which terminals that could have been under construction sat on paper. Each of those terminals takes three to five years to build after approval. Every month of delay in 2024 is a month of lost capacity in 2028 or 2029. Now look at today. March 19th, 2026. Qatar just lost 17% of its LNG export capacity for three to five years. Iranian missiles damaged two LNG trains and a GTL facility at Ras Laffan. QatarEnergy CEO Saad al-Kaabi confirmed $20 billion per year in lost revenue. Force majeure declared on contracts to Italy, Belgium, South Korea, and China. 12.8 million tons per year offline. The world's "most reliable" LNG supplier just became unreliable overnight... because it sits next to a war zone that American climate activists never thought to factor into their environmental models. The buyers who signed long-term contracts with Qatar because Biden's pause made America look unreliable are now receiving force majeure notices. The contracts they chose over American supply are being broken by Iranian missiles. The terminals Biden froze could have been under construction right now... adding the capacity that the world desperately needs and that America is uniquely positioned to provide. The math is simple and devastating. The United States has roughly 15 billion cubic feet per day of operational LNG capacity. Another 17 bcf/d is under construction. Another 19 bcf/d has been approved but hasn't broken ground... the capacity Biden froze. If those frozen terminals had been approved on schedule in early 2024 and broken ground immediately, some would be approaching operational status in 2027-2028. Instead, they're just now restarting the approval process after fourteen months of lost time. Every month of Biden's LNG pause is a month that American export capacity won't be available when the world needs it most. Every terminal that was delayed is a terminal that won't be shipping gas to Europe and Asia during the three-to-five-year window when Qatar's capacity is crippled. Every buyer who went to Qatar because Biden made America look unreliable is now scrambling for replacement supply that America could have been providing. Biden's climate advisors met with a TikToker and decided the future of global energy security. The 170 scientists who signed the letter wanted to save the planet from American natural gas. Senator Merkley called LNG "worse than coal." The Sunrise Movement called the pause "a huge win." Today, Asian LNG prices are above $25 per million BTU and climbing. European gas prices have surged 50% since the war began. South Korea, which gets 65% of its helium from Qatar, is scrambling to keep its semiconductor fabs running. Italy, Belgium, and China are staring at force majeure notices from a supplier whose facilities are burning. And somewhere in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, a $10 billion LNG terminal that should have been under construction fourteen months ago is still waiting for the paperwork Biden's DOE refused to process because a climate activist on TikTok told them not to. The world needed American LNG. Biden said no. The world went to Qatar. Iran destroyed Qatar's infrastructure. The world needs American LNG again... more desperately than ever... and the capacity that could have been ready isn't, because one administration decided that appeasing its youngest, loudest, least informed voters was more important than the energy security of the free world. Trump lit the fuse on Day One. Reversed the pause. Approved the permits. Unleashed the energy. But fourteen months of sabotage can't be erased with an executive order. The terminals take years to build. The lost time is permanent. And every day between now and when those terminals come online is a day the world pays the price for a decision made in a White House meeting with a TikToker. Energy policy is national security. Biden forgot that. The world is remembering it right now... at $25 gas in Asia, $113 oil in Europe, and force majeure notices from a burning LNG facility in Qatar. Trump said the war on American energy was over. He was right. But the damage from the last one hasn't finished arriving yet.

@RealEJAntoni How about helium?
Apple Lamps@lamps_apple

America produces more helium than any country on earth. Qatar just lost a third of the world's supply for three to five years. Every semiconductor fab, every MRI machine, every rocket engine, every particle accelerator on the planet depends on a gas that comes from two places... and one of them just got hit by Iranian missiles. President Trump should announce a Strategic Helium Reserve immediately. The United States already had a Federal Helium Reserve in Amarillo, Texas. Congress voted to sell it off. That decision looks different today than it did when they made it. The world's helium supply just got cut by a third overnight, spot prices surged 100%, and the CEO of QatarEnergy is declaring force majeure for up to five years. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve exists because the 1973 oil shock taught America that energy dependence is a national security vulnerability. The 2026 helium shock is teaching the same lesson about a different commodity. Helium runs the semiconductor supply chain. Helium runs the MRI machines in every major hospital. Helium runs the cooling systems in the AI data centers that the administration has made a national priority. Helium runs the rocket fuel pressurization systems at NASA and SpaceX. No substitute exists at industrial scale for any of these applications. A Strategic Helium Reserve does three things at once. It guarantees domestic supply for American semiconductor fabs during a period when global helium markets are in crisis. Intel, TSMC Arizona, Samsung Texas, Micron... every fab built under the CHIPS Act depends on helium. The CHIPS Act brought the fabs to American soil. The Helium Reserve keeps them running. It gives the United States leverage over every allied semiconductor manufacturer on earth. South Korea imported 65% of its helium from Qatar. China imported 54% of its helium imports from Qatar. Japan depends on imported helium for its entire chip industry. If the United States controls a strategic reserve of the commodity their fabs cannot operate without, the diplomatic leverage writes itself. Helium access becomes a condition of alliance. Helium supply becomes a tool of trade negotiation. The country that controls the chips controls the century... and the country that controls the helium controls who makes the chips. It creates a new American export industry that didn't exist at this scale before March 2026. American natural gas processing generates helium as a byproduct. The same shale revolution that made America the world's largest oil producer and largest LNG exporter also produces helium. Expanding helium capture, purification, and storage infrastructure creates American jobs, generates American export revenue, and builds American strategic capacity simultaneously. Call it the SHIELD Act. Strategic Helium Investment for Economic Leverage and Defense. Invoke the Defense Production Act to accelerate construction of helium capture and storage facilities. Direct the Department of Energy to rebuild the reserve capacity that Congress sold off. Condition helium exports to allied nations on semiconductor investment in the United States and alignment with American trade policy. The helium is in the ground. The infrastructure exists. The demand is exploding. The competition just went offline for five years. All the President has to do is sign the order.

Providing an update on the damage from the missile attacks on Ras Laffan Industrial City H.E. Minister Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi: The missile attacks reduced Qatar’s LNG export capacity by 17% and caused an estimated loss of $20 billion in annual revenue - Extensive damage to our production facilities will take up to five years to repair and will compel us to declare long-term force majeure QatarEnergy expects the damage to its Ras Laffan Industrial City caused by missile strikes, which occurred on Wednesday 18 March 2026, and in the early hours of Thursday 19 March 2026, to cost about $20 billion a year in lost revenue and to take up to five years to repair, impacting supply to markets in Europe and Asia. Providing an update on the damage to the facilities at Ras Laffan Industrial City, His Excellency Mr. Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, the Minister of State for Energy Affairs, the President and CEO of QatarEnergy, said “I am relieved to confirm that no one was injured by these unjustified and senseless attacks, which weren’t just an attack on the State of Qatar but attacks on global energy security and stability. This was an attack on all of us who stand for development and human progress that is sustained by a fair, reliable, and secure access to energy.” The attacks damaged two liquefied natural gas (LNG) producing Trains 4 and 6 totaling 12.8 million tons per annum (MTPA) of production, representing approximately 17% of Qatar’s exports. Train 4 is a joint venture between QatarEnergy (66%) and ExxonMobil (34%), and Train 6 is a joint venture between QatarEnergy (70%) and ExxonMobil (30%). His Excellency Minister Al-Kaabi said: “The damage sustained by the LNG facilities will take between three to five years to repair. The impact is on China, South Korea, Italy and Belgium. This means that we will be compelled to declare force majeure for up to five years on some long-term LNG contracts.” The attacks also targeted the Pearl GTL (Gas-to-Liquids) facility, a production sharing agreement operated by Shell, that converts natural gas into high-quality cleaner burning drop-in fuels and produces base oils used to make premium engine oils and lubricants, and paraffins and waxes. “The damage caused to one of the two trains at Pearl GTL is being assessed and is expected to be offline for a minimum of one year” His Excellency Minister Al-Kaabi added. It should be noted that there will be a loss of associated product production due to this outage as follows: · Condensates: 18.6 million barrels which is around 24% of Qatar’s exports · LPG: 1.281 MT which is around 13% of Qatar’s exports · Naphtha: 0.594 MT which is around 6% of Qatar’s exports · Sulfur: 0.18 MT which is around 6% of Qatar’s exports · Helium: 309.54 MCFA which is around 14% of Qatar’s exports His Excellency the Minister of State for Energy Affairs, the President and CEO of QatarEnergy paid tribute to the Qatari military and security forces and to the energy sector emergency response teams whose courage and extraordinary professionalism ensured the situation was contained quickly and safely. #Qatar

The new Grok summary works great! “• Candace Owens is conducting a deliberate demolition of the American Right from within, telling millions of conservative followers to stop voting, stop enlisting in the military, pull kids from all schools, abandon churches supporting Israel, and defund major conservative institutions. • She declares Donald Trump has betrayed the American people, calls MAGA dead, and frames every candidate as competing to be Israel’s favorite. • She weaponizes the assassination of Charlie Kirk with an endless, unfalsifiable conspiracy narrative involving Mossad, CIA, Babylonian demons, and more, creating a permanent purity test that blocks any return to institutional conservative politics. • Using documents to build credibility before escalating into unverifiable spiritual claims and prophetic dreams, she seals followers in a closed-loop system where only she is trustworthy. • This scorched-earth campaign funnels detached, demoralized conservatives into her own monetized ecosystem of subscriptions, merchandise, and affiliate promotions while benefiting the Left, foreign adversaries, and radical fringes.”
