The price of a barrel of crude oil IS NOT LOWER THAN BEFORE THE IRAN CONFLICT STARTED. So, raise your hand if you think big oil is keeping prices high🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️ You might ask WHY? Chevron, Shell & smaller oil companies are on board & investing to rebuild Venezuela’s oil industry. But Exxon-Mobile says Venezuela’s oil industry is un-investable. Then TRUMP secured for America
65 BILLION barrels of oil from Venezuela and a “35% equity interest in NABEP’s corporate parent, plus preferential purchase rights, without an upfront cash outlay from the federal budget”. Plus US now has “the right to buy 20% of NABEP’s current and future production at production cost”. My question is how does this effect big oils profits? It would seem to me, they can’t be overjoyed by being cut out of the deal.

Ric Bucher explained what he believes separates Michael Jordan and LeBron James in the GOAT debate, pointing to their different approaches to overcoming adversity and building winning teams.
“For those in the Jordan camp, it matters that Jordan didn’t run from the Pistons. He kept charging at them until he found a way to break through.”
“LeBron has been pretty damn good at recognizing what he needs to win and making sure he gets it.”
Bucher argues that Jordan believed he could overcome obstacles through his own dominance, while LeBron has focused on identifying what he needs to win and surrounding himself with the necessary talent.
“Jordan’s dominance was visceral. LeBron’s is analytical. LeBron’s approach has been, ‘I want all the help that I can possibly get.’”
One of the most incredible Michael Jordan statistics has almost nothing to do with points, rings, or awards.
During Jordan’s six championship seasons, the Bulls played 608 games between the regular season and playoffs.
Michael Jordan played in 602 of them.
He missed SIX games.
All six came during the first three-peat. During the second three-peat, from 1995-96 through 1997-98, Jordan played every single regular-season and playoff game: 304 out of 304.
And then there’s this:
Chicago opened the 1990-91 season by losing three straight games.
After that, Michael Jordan would play 626 more games for the Chicago Bulls without ever losing three consecutive games again.
Think about how absurd that is.
Not three straight losses in a season.
Not three straight losses during a championship run.
Not three straight losses across the rest of his Chicago career.
Regular season. Playoffs. Road trips. Injuries. Back-to-backs. Bad shooting nights. Great opponents. Six trips to the Finals.
The Bulls could lose.
They just couldn’t stay down.
Michael Jordan showed up. And losing was never allowed to become a habit.
There are levels to this.

The people who actually saw Michael Jordan up close said it best:
Bobby Knight: “Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player ever.”
Magic Johnson: “There’s Michael Jordan and then there is the rest of us.”
Larry Bird: “God disguised as Michael Jordan.”
Kobe Bryant: “Michael Jordan is the greatest player ever.”
Allen Iverson: “Mike is always going to be the GOAT.”
Reggie Miller: “I will go to my grave” saying Jordan is the greatest.
Charles Barkley: “What he went through against the Pistons, that’s what makes him the greatest player ever.”
Dwyane Wade: “Michael Jordan is the greatest player of all time.”
Shaquille O’Neal: “It’s Michael Jordan by far.”
Steve Kerr: “I still think Michael Jordan is the greatest player of all time.”
These aren’t random fans.
These are MVPs. Champions. Hall of Famers. Rivals. Teammates. Coaches. Men who played against him, played with him, studied him, and in many cases tried to stop him.
Different generations. Different perspectives.
Same conclusion.
Michael Jordan.
The 🐐.
A teacher told a 7-year-old that she could not say “thank you, Jesus.”
Her mom didn’t yell in the pickup line about it.
Instead, she’s sending her to school in a JESUS LOVES ME shirt and told her the teacher is not covering that up.
Then she emailed the principal for a meeting and said if the school won’t allow it, she’ll homeschool.
“In my house, we will serve the Lord.”
Would you send your kid in that shirt?
Let this sink in:
Michael Jordan never lost when he reached the championship stage.
🏆 NCAA Championship: 1–0
🥇 Olympics: 2–0
🏆 NBA Finals: 6–0
College. International basketball. The NBA.
When Michael Jordan reached the final destination, his team left with the trophy.
Every. Single. Time.
There are levels to this.
