EIA: U.S. Shortly to Become
“the World’s Leading Producer of Crude oil”
by Bob Adelmann
{ thenewamerican.com } ~ The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) proclaimed on Tuesday that, if its forecasts are correct, “the United States will average nearly 12 million barrels a day (mbd) … in 2019 … making the U.S. the world’s leading producer of crude oil.” Those forecasts could understate the U.S. oil industry’s production, as it builds into its calculations the present bottlenecks of pipeline capacity, being experienced especially in the Permian Basin. One month ago, IHS Markit, the global information marketplace, focused on what’s happening in the Permian Basin and concluded that, even with those bottlenecks currently slowing the flow of crude from wellheads to refineries along the Gulf Coast, it expects a “stunning” increase in production there between now and 2023. Total crude-oil production will nearly double over that time to 5.4 mbd once the 41,000 new wells and $308 billion in new investment have been completed. Said Daniel Yergin, IHS Markit’s vice chairman: “In the past 24 months, production from just this one region — the Permian — has grown far more than any other entire country in the world. Add in another 3 mbd by 2023 — more than the total present-day production of Kuwait — and you have a level of production that exceeds the current production of every OPEC nation, except Saudi Arabia.”...

Ryan Warns Ex-FBI Lawyer Lisa Page Over Defying Subpoena
{ newsmax.com } ~ House Speaker Paul Ryan is warning former FBI lawyer Lisa Page that she must appear for a private interview with two House committees... investigating the Justice Department or the House could take action against her. Page's attorney said late Tuesday that she would not appear for a private interview Wednesday with the House Judiciary and Oversight and Government Reform committees, despite a subpoena. In response, House Judiciary Chairman Robert Goodlatte said Page has known for months about an interview, and the committee will use "all tools at our disposal" to obtain it. If a witness does not respond to a subpoena, the full House can vote to hold that person in contempt of Congress. Ryan said Wednesday the House will "do what we need to do to protect this branch of government" and that he stands behind Goodlatte. "A subpoena to testify before Congress is not optional, it's mandatory," Ryan said....
Vulnerable dummycrats-Democrats Should Hope for GOP Unity on Kavanaugh
by Marc A. Thiessen
It is difficult to imagine any Republican senator opposing President Trump’s nomination to the Supreme Court of Brett M. Kavanaugh, a judge with impeccable credentials, strong intellect and sterling character. If Republicans stay united, Kavanaugh’s confirmation as the next associate justice is assured. And no one is praying harder for Republican unity than the three dummycrats-Democratic senators — Joe Manchin III (WV), Heidi Heitkamp (ND) and Joe Donnelly (IN) — who voted to confirm Justice Neil M. Gorsuch and who are up for reelection this fall in states Donald Trump won by double digits.
A Supreme Court fight is already a nightmare for these vulnerable dummycrats-Democrats. The Left understands that Kavanaugh’s nomination is an existential threat to its activist judicial agenda, so it is going to throw everything it has at him in a multimillion-dollar sliming. The confirmation hearings are going to make the infamous Robert H. Bork hearings seem like a kumbaya session by comparison.
Caught in the crossfire are Manchin, Heitkamp and Donnelly, all of whom were hoping to steer a steady course down the middle to reelection but will now have to spend the next couple of months getting pushed and pulled by both sides. The dummycrats-Democrats’ left-wing base will demand that they vote “no” on Kavanaugh, while the trio’s pro-Trump constituents will demand they vote “yes.” And the confirmation fight will dominate the final months of their campaigns.
That’s a nightmare. But so long as Republicans are united, Manchin, Heitkamp and Donnelly more or less get a free vote. They won’t pay much of a price if they end up as the 51st, 52nd and 53rd votes confirming Trump’s nominee, adding a bipartisan veneer to the final vote. But if any Republicans defect, the nightmare becomes a disaster, because each of these red-state dummycrats-Democrats suddenly becomes the deciding vote. That is the last thing they want. If any dummycrats-Democrats provide the swing vote that puts Trump’s nominee on the High Court, many on the Left will be furious and abandon them on Election Day. But if they are the deciding vote against Trump’s nominee, then voters in their states — which all voted for Trump decisively — would be more energized and determined to throw them out of office. It’s a no-win situation.
Normally, it is the job of a party’s Senate leadership to protect vulnerable incumbents by giving them political cover to do what they need to do to win reelection. But in this case, the dummycrats-Democratic leadership seems to be throwing these three senators under the bus. Sen. Richard J. Durbin, Ill., the No. 2 dummycrats-Democrat in the Senate, suggested on NBC’s “Meet the Press” this past weekend that these vulnerable red-statedummycrats-Democrats should sacrifice their reelection to stop Trump’s nominee. “They understand it’s a historic decision,” he said. “It’s about more than the next election.”
That is unprecedented. scumbag-Durbin just told these dummycrats-Democrats to commit political suicide. It is shocking that one of its own leaders just gave the left-wing base license to demand that these senators vote in such a way that will virtually guarantee the loss of their seats. Don’t expect these senators to forget it if they are still in office for the next leadership election.
Red-state dummycrats-Democrats want to get this vote over with as quickly as possible. A delayed vote could backfire terribly. Right now, dummycrats-Democrats enjoy a significant enthusiasm advantage in the 2018 midterm elections. In a Wall Street Journal-NBC News poll last month, 63% of dummycrats- Democrats rate their interest level as a “9 or 10” on a 10-point scale, while only 47% of Republicans do the same. Any delay in Kavanaugh’s confirmation can only help Republicans close that enthusiasm gap. According to the Post, 26% of all Trump voters said the Supreme Court was most important factor in their vote, compared with just 18% among liar-Hillary Clinton’s voters. The Supreme Court motivates the Right more than the Left. The best way dummycrats-Democrats can guarantee a strong GOP turnout in key Senate races is to make the Supreme Court an election issue this November.
So, conservatives are hoping that Republicans stay united. But deep in their hearts, red-state dummycrats-Democrats are praying for GOP unity as well.
