This is absolutely lovely. Please listen. Dang you @ericchurch for making me homesick on a Thursday morning.
Dan Proft@DanProft

Life is like a guitar. @ericchurch offers a brillianct commencement address (and guitar lesson) at his alma mater, UNC, that belongs in the pantheon of addresses of this sort with those of Steve Jobs (Stanford) and David Foster Wallace (Kenyon College).

“Slavery is over. Jim Crow is dead.” Rep. Wesley Hunt pushes back on what he calls “reinvigorated talk” of Jim Crow, while defending the idea that America is a Christian nation: "As someone who is a direct descendant of a slave, as someone whose great-great-grandfather was born on a plantation, I can assure you, slavery is over. Jim Crow is dead." "I am a Black man representing a White-majority district in Texas, the great-great-grandson of a man born on a plantation stands before you today as a proud, conservative Republican from Texas. As a believer and follower in Christ."

Activist: "American cattle ranching is destroying the Great Plains." Rancher: "How many bison were here in 1800?" Activist: "A lot." Rancher: "Sixty million. Same biomass as every cow in America today. Standing on the same grass." Activist: "That was different." Rancher: "How?" Activist: "It was natural." Rancher: "It was ruminants. Eating grass. Trampling it. Dunging it. The grassland built six feet of topsoil underneath them." Activist: "Then we shouldn't have killed them." Rancher: "Correct. We killed them, ploughed the prairie, and got the Dust Bowl in thirty years. Largest ecological collapse in American history." Activist: "..." Rancher: "The fix wasn't fewer animals. The fix was putting them back. The grass evolved to be eaten." Activist: "So reintroduce bison." Rancher: "Or use the 1,200-pound ruminant that's already here, in the same numbers, doing the same job, on the same grass." Activist: "It's not the same." Rancher: "It's the same animal with a different accent." Activist: "It still feels wrong." Rancher: "The thing that felt wrong was killing the bison. The cattle are how we're paying it back. Take them off and you finish the job we started in 1870."

Are Black people still voting? Yes. Then Democrats did not lose democracy. They lost control. Tennessee redistricting did not take away Black voting rights. It broke up a protected political arrangement Democrats used to treat Black voters like guaranteed property. That is not suppression. That is competition. Full episode up now: zurl.co/LmE3f

The same RINOs who told you to stay home and take the shot are going to tell you Mississippi “can’t” redraw the map. They’ll say we “might” elect a Democrat if we do. They’ll say the primaries already happened. They’ll say we have to be “careful.” They’ll say it’s not “in the call.” Meanwhile, @BennieGThompson is still sitting in Congress after chairing the sham J6 witch hunt against @realDonaldTrump. Don’t fall for it. They hope you won’t question them. If Alabama can fight, If Louisiana can fight, If Tennessee can fight, Mississippi can fight, too. It can be done. And it should be done. Let’s take back our state. REDRAW THE SIP. ALL RED. 4-0.

US Oil & Gas Association
Hey Big G - Here's some info you can take and put in the vault. (See what I did there? Pretty good.) 98% US oil and gas companies are classified as small businesses (500 or fewer employees). 70% have less than 10 employees. These small companies drill 90% of all new U.S. oil and natural gas wells and are responsible for the majority of new production brought online each year. Yet these small companies are price-takers - be it a high or low price. Just like the small farmers who don't set the price of wheat or milk - we all have to take the prices as they are set. These small companies produce a commodity at a price they don't set, send it to market where someone else turns it into something else at a different price at the pump. That's how it works. And you can put that in the vault. BUT - if you still want to talk about being unjustly enriched.... Guess what? Of the 15 largest oil companies in the world. 10 are actually state-owned enterprises, controlled by foreign goverments. Of the remaining 5, only 2 of those 15 are U.S. companies. Go ahead and investigate Exxon and Chevron if you want if it makes you feel better. But your investigation will come up empty - like Al Capone's vault. Here are the top 15 companies by production. Saudi Aramco (Saudi Arabia) — ~10.3 mbpd State-owned enterprise (majority-owned by the Saudi government). Iraq National Oil Company (INOC) — ~3.9 mbpd State-owned enterprise (Iraqi government-owned). Rosneft (Russia) — ~3.7 mbpd State-controlled (Russian government holds a majority stake through Rosneftegaz). National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) — ~3.3 mbpd State-owned enterprise (fully owned by the Iranian government). ExxonMobil (USA) — ~3.0 mbpd Privately owned (publicly traded multinational). ADNOC (Abu Dhabi National Oil Company) (UAE) — ~3.0 mbpd State-owned enterprise (owned by the Abu Dhabi government). PetroChina (China) — ~2.6 mbpd State-controlled (listed subsidiary of China National Petroleum Corporation, CNPC, which is state-owned). Kuwait Oil Company — ~2.4 mbpd State-owned enterprise (part of Kuwait Petroleum Corporation, fully government-owned). Petrobras (Brazil) — ~2.2 mbpd State-controlled (Brazilian government holds majority voting shares and significant influence, though publicly traded). Lukoil (Russia) — ~1.7 mbpd Privately owned (one of the largest privately held Russian oil companies, though subject to government oversight). Chevron (USA) — ~1.6 mbpd Privately owned (publicly traded multinational). Shell (UK/Netherlands) — ~1.5 mbpd Privately owned (publicly traded multinational). Gazprom Neft (Russia) — ~1.4 mbpd State-controlled (majority-owned by Gazprom, which is majority state-owned). TotalEnergies (France) — ~1.3 mbpd Privately owned (publicly traded multinational). Surgutneftegas (Russia) — ~1.1 mbpd Privately owned (though with close ties to the Russian state). The more you know....

Oil companies are being unjustly enriched. They are war profiteers. POTUS should impose an excess profits tax. They are blood suckers.

🚨 HOLY CRAP, FDA Commissioner Marty Makary CONFIRMED the FDA purposefully lied to the people for nearly 2 decades against dietary fats to help Big Pharma People avoided fat and ate MORE SUGAR, so Pharma could sell them more drugs RFK Jr. just declared open WAR on added sugar “They suppressed the data for 16 years…Those in the low-fat group had higher rates of heart attacks!” “We created a generation of children with low protein, high carbohydrates, sugar addiction, and burdened with ultra-processed foods, and what did we do as a medical field? Drugged them at scale!” “Those days are OVER. We are telling people the truth about food.” MAHA WILL WIN!

🚨 Do you understand what happened in the last 72 hours.. > the UAE quietly opened a sovereign dollar swap line with the US Treasury.. days before any cartel news broke.. nobody on Bloomberg connected the timing.. > Abu Dhabi formally announced it is leaving OPEC after 58 years.. the first major Gulf producer to walk out since the cartel was founded in 1960.. > the UAE was sitting on $93,000,000,000 of spare oil capacity it was never allowed to pump because Saudi-driven OPEC quotas kept getting in the way.. > Saudi Arabia issued a 90-word statement saying the cartel "remains strong" and never mentioned the UAE by name.. silence speaks louder.. > the trigger nobody is talking about: Iranian missiles hit UAE cities and Saudi Arabia stayed publicly silent.. Abu Dhabi remembered.. > Russia loses its only multilateral lever over oil prices at exactly the moment it is bankrolling Iran's war and bleeding petrodollars on Ukraine.. > Trump's administration has been openly courting Gulf producers one by one.. cheap oil before the midterms is now official US policy.. > Qatar walked in 2019.. Ecuador walked in 2020.. Angola walked in 2024.. UAE walked in 2026.. four major exits in seven years.. zero new members.. every single move on this list points the same direction.. Washington just dismantled the cartel that quadrupled oil prices in 1973.. and didn't fire a single shot.. all of this.. one week.. OPEC didn't collapse.. it got bought one Gulf state at a time.. if you're not following me you're finding out about this 48 hours late from someone who read my post.. it's only getting crazier from here..

The United States has completed its withdrawal from the WHO. This is a major victory for national sovereignty and medical freedom. The same global health establishment that failed during Covid should never again control American policy. We will not be ruled by unelected bureaucrats.

Imagine a woman fleeing an attacker—and her car won’t start because it thinks she’s impaired. Imagine a farmer injured on the job—his truck won’t start because it thinks he’s drunk. These are the unintended consequences of the Kill Switch mandate. Kill the Kill Switch.

Former Mississippi Senator & current member of the Mississippi House of Representatives @LeeYanceyMS announces he will run for current Senator Dean Kirby’s seat in the upcoming elections after Kirby announced he will not seek reelection. #msleg
Rep. Lee Yancey@LeeYanceyMS

Senator Dean Kirby has faithfully served us in the State Senate since 1992, and I am grateful for his decades of leadership. It was an honor to serve alongside him in the Senate from 2008 to 2012, and I greatly appreciate his commitment to our community. With Senator Kirby’s recent announcement that he will not seek re-election, I am announcing my candidacy today in Senate District 30 because I believe it is the best way for me to do more for Rankin County. Having previously served in the Senate and returning to the Mississippi Legislature in 2020 as a member of the House of Representatives, I have had the honor of serving as Chairman of the Drug Policy Committee as well as the Business and Commerce Committee. My unique background of previously serving in the Senate and now serving in the House gives me strong working relationships within the Legislature. I want to use that experience to help Rankin County even more in the future. During my time in the Legislature, I have worked to support economic growth, improve education, strengthen our workforce, support law enforcement and address critical issues affecting Mississippi families. This year, I was proud to work with the Rankin County delegation to help secure millions of dollars in funding for our county—investments that support infrastructure, growth and the long-term success for our community. As the son of a public school teacher and parent of public school graduates, I have worked hard to improve our schools. I voted for the largest teacher pay raise in our state’s history in 2022—and another teacher pay raise in 2026. I am honored to have been recognized as Legislator of the Year by both the Subcontractors Association and the Homebuilders Association. I have consistently received A ratings from BIPEC for my support of pro-business legislation, and I have also been recognized as Pro-Lifer of the Year and as one of the Top 50 Most Influential Legislators. Most importantly, I am grateful for my family. My wife, Courtney, and I have been married for 33 years, and we are blessed with two children and two grandchildren. We are active members of Pinelake Church. I would be honored to continue serving the people of Rankin County in State Senate District 30 in the future, and I ask for your support in the 2027 election as we work together for a stronger Mississippi for our children and grandchildren.

A big day for healthcare in Mississippi!   I’m announcing the establishment of the Mississippi Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) Office and launch of the official Mississippi RHTP website. The newly created office will be housed within the Office of the Governor. Together, these milestones mark a significant step forward in Mississippi’s efforts to transform and modernize healthcare across rural communities.   The newly established RHTP Office will serve as the central hub for coordinating implementation of the State’s approved plan, ensuring alignment across agencies, managing program administration, and maintaining a strong focus on accountability and results. The launch of the website provides the public with a transparent and accessible view of Mississippi’s initiatives, funding opportunities, and progress.   Mississippi’s plan includes a statewide rural health assessment and targeted initiatives focused on care coordination, workforce development, the implementation of a statewide health information exchange, telehealth expansion, and infrastructure improvements to ensure rural communities have access to high-quality, reliable care. By establishing a dedicated office and launching this website, we are putting the structure and transparency in place to deliver real, lasting improvements for our rural communities.   I’m also announcing Mississippi has named Richard Grimes as Project Director of the Mississippi Rural Health Transformation Office. A CPA with deep experience guiding complex healthcare initiatives, Richard has built his career around helping organizations navigate financial and operational challenges while maintaining a strong focus on long-term sustainability. He is known for his ability to turn strategy into action bringing clarity to complex issues, aligning stakeholders, and delivering practical, high-impact solutions. With a background spanning healthcare finance, policy, and organizational leadership, he has supported organizations through significant growth and transformation.   Thank you to @realDonaldTrump, @SecKennedy and @DrOzCMS for making this possible.

The @JusticeATR meat pricing case is unbelievable. Agri Stats—a number-crunching data service—allegedly turned confidential competitor data into market intelligence that helped dominant processors stabilize or raise prices.
