Palm Coast’s Reilly Opelka, seeded 17, goes up against Raphael Nadal, seeded 4th, in the fourth round of the Indian Wells BNP Paribas Open championship. From Sportskeeda: “ROpelka’s 2022 season has been excellent so far. He won his third career title at the Dallas Open and was a finalist at the Delray Beach Open. He has continued his good run of form on home soil at the Indian Wells Masters. Opelka had no trouble dispatching Lorenzo Musetti in the second round, winning 6-1, 6-4. Against Denis Shapovalov, to whom the American lost in the third round of the Australian Open, he faced a stern test…. However, the heavy conditions at Indian Wells are likely to aid the former World No. 1 while hampering Opelka’s serve a little. Nadal is an excellent mover around the court and will look to use his forehand to put the American on the backfoot and keep him on his toes.” The time isn;t yet certain.

Notably: Today is Black Press Day, marking the anniversary of the first Black newspaper in the United States. Thanks to white supremacy (oh, sorry: are we not supposed to say this in DeSantisdland?) it was only about 200 years late, finally seeing light of day on this day in 1827, when the Freedom Journal was published. Amazingly, one of Flagler Palm Coast High School’s more accomplished teachers, Allison Elledge, wrote a paper–“’We form a spoke in the human wheel’: Freedom’s Journal and the Public Sphere in Early America”–last year as part of her fellowship with the James Madison Memorial Foundation, and is allowing us to link to it in full here. (It happens to be James Madison’s birth anniversary, too, in 1809). It is also Freedom of Information Day, but these days, but media’s credibility being what it is these days, that’s not likely to get any ore applause than the anniversary of the My Lai massacre (as William Calley continues to enjoy a freedom he never lost after leading the massacre of up to 400 Vietnamese civilians. Even a white supremacist like James Madison would not be proud.).

We have plenty of energy in the US to satisfy all of our needs for hundreds of years. But the lunatics are in charge of the asylum.
When the supply is constrained, the price goes up. This is what the climate kooks wanted.
For some reason they failed to realize that this might not be very popular, and they may lose their jobs as a result. So sad.

Maybe you should “wake up”. The government cannot control the flow of oil in this country – if you think it can, please provide some proof. The only constraint on the supply of oil has been imposed by the oil companies. The higher the price of oil, the more stock they can buy back and the higher dividends they can pay to stockholders. They are counting on your inability to see the truth to hide their ulterior motives and blame the government. Shell Oil made $19 billion in profits last year, up from $4 billion in 2020. Follow the money . . .
