No!
Why Do People Like Making USA The Bogeyman?
I Have To Disagree With These Narratives
The data shows U.S. crude production surged from ~5M bpd (2008) to 12.9M bpd average in 2023 (record monthly 13.3M+ bpd Dec 2023).
(From https://t.co/vBffJjOL9M)
By 2025–2026, totals (including lease condensate, NGLs, etc.) exceeded 20M bpd in broader liquids.
This was gradual progress. Which was engineered systematic methods before we invaded, attacked, or put sanctions on anyone. This was bound to happen by sheer production & reduction in cost and efficiency.
This made the U.S. the largest producer in history surpassing prior records and outpacing Russia/Saudi consistently since ~2018.
The Permian alone drove much of the late growth. Private operators, innovation in drilling efficiency (longer laterals, more sand/proppant, multi-well pads), and cost reductions turned "uneconomic" tight oil into the dominant supply source.
No foreign was conquest required domestic land, capital markets, and engineering.
Do People not know that U.S. lifted crude export ban in 2015 (longstanding restriction ended under Obama, accelerated under Trump?
Overstated for domestic supremacy. U.S. production growth predates recent Venezuela actions and stems overwhelmingly from onshore shale (Permian, etc.).
I hope Colorado Democrats are happy that they made it more difficult for law abiding citizens to retrieve their firearms for self defense during active shootings.
Lawsuit needed over this.

Here's another really troubling thing about this week's vote by the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission to begin the rulemaking process for a potential fur ban in #Colorado. The commissioner who initiated and aggressively pushed the process forward, Jessica Beaulieu, has an apparent conflict of interest -- and maybe numerous conflicts of interest -- that she did not disclose, from what I can gather.
Beaulieu did not recuse herself from acting and voting on a petition brought by an organization she formerly worked for, the relentlessly radical Center for Biological Diversity (or CBD). Nor did she disclose that past relationship; as well as her past professional association with the @GovofCO's husband, animal activist Marlon Reis.
Beaulieu was once a legal fellow at CBD, which is known for its hardcore anti-hunting agenda, yet no one raised any point of order as she rammed through the 6-4 vote to advance CBD's fur ban petition. She made the motion, ignored pleas to deny it from @COParksWildlife staff, and blew off the many stakeholders who spoke against it -- all while hiding her CBD ties and professional links to Reis.
This isn't just an "appearance" of conflict; it seems like a blatant one, potentially violating CPW rules against benefiting allied organizations, as well as Colorado's Article XXIX ethics code against actions that have the potential to erode public trust.
Nothing erodes public trust like having a supposedly independent #wildlife commissioner ram through an extreme anti-hunting proposal that was written by an organization she once worked for. Beaulieu's ties to Gov. Polis and his husband also bear more scrutiny, in light of the radical turn this has taken.
There was no recusal. There was no disclosure of her potential conflicts that I can find in the record, or in media reports. And this commissioner has been flagged for ethics problems before, with accusations that she violated open meetings rules.
This looks like something that demands a probe by Colorado's Independent Ethics Commission. The big problem there is that the Independence Ethics Commission isn't independent. Its members also were appointed by the Governor who appointed Beaulieu to the CPW commission.
It's all so sordid, incestuous, self-serving and smelly -- but not surprising when one party holds total power and there are no checks on that power. It's a situation that breeds corruption, shady dealings, and cronyism of the type we just saw play out in real time courtesy of our hijacked-by-radicals Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission.
Share if you agree that this apparent ethics issue needs further investigation.

The Great Colorado Cover-Up continues, #copolitics. Here's an update for March 5, 2026.
Colorado's leaders — @GovofCO Polis, AG @pweiser, & Sec. @JenaGriswold — are still stonewalling legitimate federal oversight efforts, framing their obstructionism as noble resistance to Trump "bullying" and "federal overreach." But let's call it what it is: a desperate bid to hide potential voter irregularities, financial fraud, and welfare system abuse that's embarrassing as hell -- and possibly illegal.
VOTER ROLLS: Colorado is still refusing to comply with @TheJusticeDept requests for unredacted data on SSNs & driver's licenses, probably for fear of exposing non-citizen voting or bloated/padded/wildly inaccurate voter lists.
MEDICAID MESS: Colorado is fighting tooth and nail in courts to withhold Emergency Medicaid data on undocumented folks. Why the secrecy if everything's clean and legal?
WELFARE PROGRAMS: Clorado's blocking federal deep dives into TANF, SNAP (food stamps), & child care grants amid $315M+ freezes for "fraud probes." Legal challenges, all by deep blue states, keep the federal cash flowing temporarily, but it reeks of stalling legitimate oversight. And the rogue states will probably lose in court eventually. You can't take the federal dollars without the federal oversight. Colorado's position is legally and ethically/morally untenable.
IMMIGRATION DODGE: Sanctuary laws & new bills shield ICE from local data, potentially covering up misuse of state resources.
To many Coloradans, this isn't heroism or neo-federalism in action. It's a shady and suspicious effort to stymie transparency and accountability, all orchestrated by the top officials in the state.
If there's nothing to hide, why has Colorado adopted this fortress mentality?
The only reasonable conclusion is that Colorado has something to hide.
It's time to end the
#ColoradoCoverUp and cooperate with legitimate federal oversight requests.

ER Nurse in Aurora, Colorado says if you are against ICE mass deportations, you don’t know what being a victim of illegal immigrants looks like
“I have seen personally in the ER:
- A 16 year old who was shot in the face during a robbery gone wrong. She died. Unfortunately, we were not able to save her. Her injury was unsurvivable. That was due to illegal immigrants, the gang activity going on at the apartment complex that she lived
- I have seen a dollar store worker beat almost unrecognizable. Yeah, because his store that he was working at got robbed and he tried to defend it. And he lost, obviously. Still alive but had severe, severe injuries and wound up back in the hospital several times. Beat unrecognizable
- I have seen assault victims of things that felt with rape
- I have seen assault victims from just illegal activity.
- I have seen people dropped off by their friends in our ambulance bay due to fentanyl overdoses
- I have seen so many car accidents. I can't even count how many. It's like at least one a day if not more because these people come to our country and they don't know our laws, just basic laws like driving laws. Then they get in a wreck. Oh, and guess what? Aurora PD is so severely understaffed. When you get into a wreck here in Colorado, they don't even immediately respond. Almost always, the wreck happens, EMS gets there, they take the patients who need to be transported to the hospital to the hospital. we care for them and then a couple hours later a couple accident investigation officers and sometimes the patrol officers show up
- I had a patient the other day that had severe trauma and a liver lack. She was bleeding internally (This was from being hit by an illegal, it was a vehicle with license plates from Chihuahua, Mexico)
- A 15 year old kid got jumped by a gang of illegal, he now has severe facial fractures
It doesn’t end there, she explains more and more things she’s seen all through Colorado. This is the cost of Democrats illegal immigration
She’s seen all this just since she’s started in the ER in 2024. Insane.
Colorado Expands Medicaid to Cover Immigrants Regardless of Immigration Status
"The program is projected to cost $51 million in 2025, with $39 million coming from Colorado’s General Fund."

The leaked password story is getting worse for Colorado Secretary of State Griswold.
New video: https://t.co/iLF4YlQkAJ
Passwords to voting machines were leaked online for months, and who does the Secretary of State's office first hire to investigate?
A politically-connected law firm whose partners contributed to Jena's campaign!
Not only that, but recently released audio from a phone call between Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Beall shows the Secretary of State's office had NO intention of notifying the County Clerks!
It's outrageous and Secretary Griswold should resign!

Colorado GOP Drops Bombshell Audio Exposing Secretary of State's Office Covering Up Voting Machine Password Leak to Avoid a 'Media Storm' | The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hᴏft https://t.co/ScnISvqj78
Deputy SecState Chris Beall admitted to the #coverup on this audio.
The Department of State refused to tell the clerks about the BIOS breach because they didn’t want the media coverage. In the middle of the election — during early voting — State decided to leave the infrastructure exposed to avoid bad press.
This was literally Beall’s excuse. It’s captured on audio.
Yes, Jena should be removed. But the entire Elections Department engaged in this coverup. It must be gutted. Centralization creates complexity and complexity breeds and hides corruption.
Decentralize our elections, return authorities to the counties, and prosecute the criminals in the CO Department of State.
