As prices climb, California imports more gasoline made from Russian oil
To ensure it has enough fuel, the state is importing refined products from abroad just as the Iran war tightens global crude oil supplies. But California has been able to get a lifeline from a surprising source: Fuel made from Russian oil is surging into the state, even though such sales are used to finance that nation’s ongoing war with Ukraine.
My Facebook Post from Ten Years Ago
If Hillary wins the election, I will write the following:
The free country that I once lived in has been stolen from me. The theft has been developing for decades, but this will be the final nail in the coffin. Hillary will appoint liberal judges at all levels who will render any remaining constitutional limits on government power meaningless. Our freedoms will forever be at the whim of an all-powerful government. Tax-and-spend policies will continue, and most of the electorate will care only about what freebies they can suck from the government teat.
Things are only going to get worse from here. The incentive to work hard and get ahead will be diminished. Economic growth will continue to be weak. We will be overregulated. The government will increase its control over all aspects of our lives.
Our borders will be less secure. Our immigration policy will be lax. Terrorists will sneak into the country. We will be more afraid.
Hillary will continue to serve the interests of Wall Street bankers and foreign governments.
Nobody will ever challenge our crazy central bank monetary policy, under which all money in the economy starts out as debt, helping to make the United States the greatest debtor nation in the world.
If George Bush doubled the national debt from $5 trillion to $10 trillion, and Obama doubled it from $10 trillion to $20 trillion, what is going to happen under Hillary? We are facing a possible economic collapse due to excessive public and private debt. The only way to prevent the national debt from becoming too burdensome is through severe tax increases, severe spending cuts, and/or a never-ending cycle of monetary inflation.

The Floodgates Could Be BURST Open On Islamic Migration
I used to dislike Glenn Beck, but he has become less conspiratorial and is making much more sense.
Everyone misses the last page of Orwell's 1984

I read the book 1984 in 1983.
Apparently, I missed the last part.
Orwell said that the book was about Stalinism.

Voted
I did my civic duty and voted. The polling place is just a mile from my house, and the process didn't take long.
I think the chances of my vote affecting any outcome are practically zero, so I've been saying for a while that politics has become like a spectator sport where we all just hope that our team wins. So I showed up to support my team.

Time changes in 10 days
We are now 10 days away from having to change our clocks again.
The Sunshine Protection Act passed the U.S. House of Representatives but is stalled in the Senate and will not pass anytime soon.
Changing our clocks twice a year is detrimental. Accidents, cardiovascular events, and mental health issues reportedly increase right after the change, likely because of the disruption to sleep patterns.
After the last clock change, I announced that I was done. My reasoning was that if we are going to be on Standard Time for only 4.5 months, why bother? If I don't change my clocks, my phone will still have the correct time.
My main reason for doing this is that I would rather not change my sleep schedule.
If we were to adopt Daylight Saving Time year-round, sunrise would occur as late as 9 a.m. here in Columbus, Indiana, which seems like a bad idea.
For at least a decade, I have advocated adopting "Compromise Time," where we set our clocks halfway between Daylight Saving Time and Standard Time and never change them again.
