Free RUFUS PAUL HARRIS!

President Trump has said that there will be "NO MAGA LEFT BEHIND" when talking about political prisoners in Federal Prison. Well, there is a die-hard, President Trump-supporting conservative that has served 15+ years out of a 23-year corrupt sentence. He was put there by the Obama Administration via his AG Sally Yates and Federal Judge Timothy C. Batten (Georgia Election Results cases) in a case that proceeded to conviction where the JUDGE REMOVED THE ATTORNEY, the defendant was NOT PRESENT, and NO DEFENSE was afforded to the defendant.

CC: President Donald J. Trump
CC: Deputy AG Todd Blanche
CC: Susie Wiles, Chief of Staff (White House)

Dear Stuart McCommas,

We would like to bring a wrongful conviction in 2011 of securities fraud that many of us feel should be of high concern for the Weaponization Working Group (WWG). But to this day, all efforts, have fallen on deaf ears.

The case is #1:09-CR-0046-TCB-JFK, USA vs Rufus Harris. The 11th district under SALLY YATES as USAAG (2006) and Federal District Judge Timothy C. Batten, Sr. (Sidney Powell vs Georgia election results, Pearson vs Kemp) created a very perverted circumstance wherein a case was allowed to proceed to conviction with NO DEFENSE, WITH THE DEFENDANT NOT PRESENT, and they even REMOVED THE DEFENDANT'S COUNSEL.

In this unprecedented case that reeks of government bias and corruption, Sally Yates and the Court merged the defendant's right to have counsel with his right be present through waiver, therein creating a very dangerous conviction that if widely known, would undermine the people's confidence in the U.S. Judicial System. The court's refusal to allow counsel to represent the defendant, STANDING ALONE, should furnish a substantial ground for action from the WWG or even a Pardon from President Trump for Mr. Harris. Because when the DOJ and the judge so obviously ignored the limits of its discretion and pushed the envelope to an extreme left-position concerning Constitutional rights, it created the exceptional circumstance that warrant the attention/action of the WWG or the exercise of President Trump's discretionary Pardon Power in the INTEREST OF JUSTICE.

Please know that Mr. Harris is a long time Republican, former NRCC card carrying member, who has served 15 years out of the 23 years that he was sentenced and to this very day, still claims his innocence.

Please strongly insist that the WWG consider helping Mr. Harris, or please forward a recommendation for Pardon, or even a commutation for Mr. Harris. Thank you for your time today.

Sincerely Submitted,

Big Oil's Price Gouging: Profiting from Global Chaos While Americans Pay More at the Pump

As tensions and conflict escalate in the Middle East involving Iran, American drivers are once again watching gasoline prices climb at the pump. While global events can create uncertainty in energy markets, the core reality for the United States is straightforward: domestic oil production remains robust, and the war in Iran has no direct, meaningful impact on U.S. crude supply or the nation's refinery operations. U.S. refineries process a mix of domestic and imported crude, but America's position as a top global producer—hitting record levels around 13.6 million barrels per day in recent years—insulates its physical supply chains from distant disruptions.

Yet prices at the pump are rising anyway. This isn't driven by shortages at home. It's enabled by oil companies capitalizing on higher international benchmark prices to extract maximum revenue from American consumers, even as they redirect barrels toward more lucrative foreign markets. This pattern amounts to price gouging: charging whatever the global traffic will bear while domestic fundamentals don't justify the increase for U.S. customers.

Domestic Supply Remains Strong—Global Optics Drive the Pricing

The United States produces far more crude oil than it did decades ago, thanks to shale and other advances. It has become a net exporter of petroleum products in many categories. Refineries operate with high utilization rates, but there is no evidence of widespread domestic supply breakdowns tied to events in Iran. The Strait of Hormuz disruptions or reduced Middle Eastern output affect global flows and benchmarks like Brent crude, but U.S. production and logistics are largely separate. Americans do not rely on Iranian oil, and domestic fields plus Canadian imports provide a buffer.

Despite this insulation, retail gasoline prices have moved upward in tandem with international crude benchmarks. Oil companies argue that crude is a globally traded commodity, so U.S. refiners must pay "market" prices. In practice, this means they benefit when geopolitical risk premiums inflate the value of every barrel—whether sold abroad or used domestically. Higher selling prices for exports to Europe or Asia create an opportunity cost: keeping more barrels at home for U.S. refining becomes less attractive unless domestic wholesale and retail prices rise to match.

Critics rightly point out that this dynamic allows integrated oil majors to enjoy windfall gains. When international prices spike, upstream production profits soar, and downstream refining margins can expand as companies pass through (or exceed) input cost increases at the pump. Reports during past volatility have highlighted record quarterly profits for companies like ExxonMobil and others, even as everyday drivers face higher costs for commuting, groceries, and goods transported by diesel. In the current environment, similar dynamics are at play: global fear drives benchmarks higher, companies capture elevated revenues, and American consumers foot a disproportionate share of the bill without corresponding domestic scarcity.

No Justification for Domestic Price Increases

Break down a gallon of gasoline: crude oil is the largest single component, followed by refining costs and profits, distribution/marketing, and taxes. When crude benchmarks rise due to foreign conflict, companies quickly adjust wholesale and retail prices upward—often with "rockets and feathers" asymmetry, where prices climb fast on bad news but fall more slowly on relief. Refinery utilization in the U.S. has not collapsed, and there are no major reported outages or forced shutdowns tied to Iranian events. Inventories and logistics for finished gasoline remain functional.

The only clear transmission mechanism is the global pricing benchmark itself. Oil companies, many of which are vertically integrated, sell crude or products into export markets at premium rates during crises. To maintain overall profitability and avoid "leaving money on the table," they align domestic pricing accordingly. This isn't an unavoidable cost pass-through from a U.S.-specific shortage; it's a deliberate alignment with the highest global bidder. The result: billions in added revenue for the industry, often described by executives as responding to "market conditions," while families absorb higher everyday expenses.

This behavior echoes long-standing accusations of profiteering. During periods of volatility, refining margins and overall segment profits have drawn scrutiny from lawmakers and consumer advocates. Calls for investigations into potential gouging highlight how companies can benefit twice—once from elevated crude realizations and again from strong crack spreads (the difference between crude input costs and refined product values). When foreign buyers scramble for alternatives, U.S. producers and exporters gain leverage, and that leverage gets exercised domestically as well.

Protecting Consumers from Opportunistic Pricing

Americans deserve energy prices grounded in domestic realities, not inflated by distant conflicts from which U.S. supply is largely decoupled. Record domestic production should translate into greater price stability and affordability at home, not serve as a launchpad for exporting barrels while raising costs for U.S. drivers.

Policymakers should consider stronger oversight of pricing practices, transparency requirements for refining margins during claimed crises, and mechanisms to prevent excessive windfalls from being passed directly to consumers. Temporary measures like strategic releases from reserves have been used before to ease pressure, though they address symptoms rather than the incentive structure. Long-term solutions include maintaining high domestic output, encouraging efficient refining capacity, and reducing the ability of integrated firms to treat the U.S. market as a captive revenue source during global spikes.

The war in Iran may disrupt tankers and benchmarks thousands of miles away, but it does not empty U.S. fields or halt domestic refineries. The rise in American gasoline prices beyond any justified domestic cost increase points to a clear culprit: super-major oil companies leveraging global events to maximize profits at the expense of U.S. customers. This isn't neutral market mechanics—it's an opportunistic transfer of wealth from American wallets to corporate balance sheets. Consumers have every right to demand accountability and relief from what amounts to price gouging dressed up as geopolitical necessity.

[Gails Waters @GailsWaters]

@realDonaldTrump End federal income tax. Forget tax cuts, just end the scam on American's labor, income tax. Run the fed gov't like a business, a profit business. No need to enslave Americans via income tax. You legacy depends on it!!

[Gails Waters @GailsWaters]

@larry_kudlow @tedcruz BS! Tax cuts are as much a scam as taxation on one's labor. This crap needs to stop. You politicians and media throw a few crumbs($) out to a dumped down public, then take a bow, get a few at-a-boys then go back running the biggest scam of the public in all of human history.
