America Is Making More Diesel Than It Has Since 2019. It Still Costs a Record $6.29.

The most useful number inside this week’s record diesel prices is not $6.29. It is $1.97 — the gap between a gallon of on-highway diesel and a gallon of regular gasoline. Sit with that one, because it is the whole story.

Diesel holds roughly 14% more energy per gallon than gasoline — 137,381 Btu against 120,166 Btu, using the Energy Information Administration’s own 2026 conversion figures. It currently costs 45.5% more to buy. Every argument ever made for paying extra for a compression-ignition engine was built on the first number. The pump is being priced off the second.

Record diesel prices are not, whatever your instinct says, a story about a crude oil shortage. The United States is on track to produce more crude this year than in any year in its history. American refiners are making more diesel than they have since 2019. The fuel set a nominal record anyway. Understanding why means looking past the barrel and at the machinery that cuts it apart.

The number that broke the record

The EIA’s weekly survey put the national average on-highway diesel price at $6.285 per gallon on Monday, September 14. The agency says that is the highest figure in nominal terms since the series began in 1994, and the highest in inflation-adjusted terms since 2022. We flagged the moment diesel first pushed past $6 earlier this month.

The velocity is the part that should worry people. Diesel climbed 31.8 cents in a single week. In the Lower Atlantic it jumped 49.1 cents in seven days. Year over year, diesel is up roughly 68%. Regular gasoline over the same twelve months is up roughly 36%. West Coast diesel averages $7.250 a gallon. California averages $8.039.

Two fuels, one barrel, wildly different trajectories. That divergence is the clue.

American refineries are already running flat out

Here is the fact that reframes everything. U.S. distillate production averaged 5.1 million barrels per day from January through August, the most since 2019, and refineries ran at 97% utilization in the week ending September 11. There is no idle capacity waiting to be switched on. The industry is not holding back. It is redlined.

What changed is where the diesel goes. Refining activity has fallen in Russia, China and the Middle East, leaving the rest of the world short of middle distillate and bidding for America’s. U.S. net distillate exports have sat near or above the 2021–2025 high since February. Inventories, which normally build through summer, went sideways instead. By September 11 they were 15.8 million barrels, or 13%, below the five-year seasonal average.

The United States is not running out of diesel. It is selling diesel to people willing to outbid you for it.

That shows up in the crack spread, the rough measure of what a refiner earns turning crude into product. The EIA’s September Short-Term Energy Outlook raised its 2026 distillate crack spread forecast to $1.57 a gallon, up 20.8% from the previous month’s estimate, and lifted the 2027 figure to $1.25. Refiners are not the villains of this story. They are unambiguously the beneficiaries.

Minnesota Dem Candidate Peggy Flanagan  Claims She’s ‘Appalled’ by Massive Welfare Theft — But ‘25-Year Friend’ Standing Next To Her In Viral Hijab Video Now Under Medicaid Fraud Investigation

Minnesota’s Democrat Senate nominee keeps telling voters she is “appalled” by the state’s historic welfare theft. The problem is the woman standing next to her in that viral hijab video, the one Flanagan called a friend of nearly 25 years, is now running an autism center the state has kicked off Medicaid and placed under investigation.

Nimco Ahmed, CEO of Minneapolis-based Milestone Development Center, appeared beside then-Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan at Karmel Mall in December 2025.

Flanagan, a Catholic, wrapped herself in a hijab for Somali TV and declared the Somali community “part of the fabric of the state of Minnesota.” Then she gestured to Ahmed and talked about their friendship of “almost 25 years.”

That same Ahmed is a longtime DFL activist, a former DFL state director, and president of the Somali American Coalition.

She is also listed as CEO of Milestone. Minnesota Department of Human Services officials have now confirmed open investigations into Milestone and a second provider, Spectrum Therapy Center.

Both were terminated from the Medicaid program months ago during the state’s Revalidate 2026 review. Both providers have appealed the decision, Fox News reported.

Army flight surgeon drops bombshell: 29 troop deaths after COVID shot, 55,000 adverse-events, and 2,500 death files now under review

A bombshell sworn declaration filed in federal court is raising new questions about the Biden-era COVID-19 vaccine mandate imposed on America’s military.

According to TrialSite News, Army Lt. Col. Theresa Long, a retired Army flight surgeon now serving as senior medical military adviser to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and reporting to War Secretary Pete Hegseth, filed a sworn declaration in Adirim v. U.S. Central Intelligence Agency et al., in the Eastern District of Virginia.

Long told the court she has firsthand knowledge of more than 29 service-member deaths after COVID-19 vaccination and that she has been tasked with examining roughly 55,000 military-linked adverse-event reports, including 2,544 death reports in the federal Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).

“I have first hand knowledge of over 29 deaths of servicemembers after vaccination with the COVID-19 vaccines. I am currently tasked with investigating the 55,000 vaccine adverse event reports filed on individuals identified as members of the U.S. Armed Forces, this includes 2544 deaths.

“As the first aviation brigade surgeon I had one servicemember die of rapid onset and progression of esophageal cancer after COVID vaccination and one in which a student pilot who had never been COVID positive, who experienced sudden cardiac death at the controls of a helicopter during a training flight.

“An independent cardiologist evaluated all imaging, labs and history on the student pilot and determined that myocardial injury secondary to the COVID-19 vaccines was the most likely cause.

Euthanasia bills will be used to mass murder the mentally ill and the poor as part of the Great Reset’s global depopulation plan

The approved mass slaughter of the disabled, the poor, the frail, the old, the unemployed and the unwanted is, with quiet certainty and to the eternal shame of politicians, becoming global. It is part of the Great Reset and it is an essential part of the depopulation programme.

They call it doctor-assisted suicide, and it’s already available in a number of countries (notably and with most seemingly uncensored enthusiasm in Canada and Holland) – but the concept of death by doctor is spreading fast, and like everything else bad that is happening, it is global. Opposing this sinister, contemptible and malevolent new movement is one of the most difficult challenges we face in the years ahead.

Voluntary euthanasia, aka assisted dying, aka “death by doctor,” really began in earnest in Holland, Belgium and Luxembourg at the start of the 21st century. (Switzerland has allowed assisted suicide since 1942, but only in a vague sort of way in that helping someone kill themselves is legal if the person helping does not have selfish motives.)

After Belgium and Holland allowed death by doctor, there was a hiatus of several years and then came a sudden and seemingly inexplicable explosion in the number of countries succumbing to pressure and introducing similar schemes of their own. (The explosion was inexplicable only to those who do not realise that “death by doctor” is an essential part of the Great Reset.)

Euthanasia was legalised in Canada in 2016. In Spain in 2021, Austria in 2022, in Portugal in 2023, in Colombia in 2022, in Cuba in 2023, in Ecuador in 2024, in Australia in 2025, in New Zealand in 2021, in Jersey in 2026, in Uruguay in 2025, in France in 2026 and in recent years in 13 states in the USA. Legislation is being drafted in Germany and Italy.

In Britain, the pro-euthanasia supporters have for years been pushing hard for new legislation in Britain – for legislation which would undoubtedly legalise the mass murder of the weak and the innocent.

The supporters of “doctor-assisted dying” bills have repeatedly tried to push their lethal legislation through the British Parliamentary System. And each time wise, humane heads have ensured that they have failed. (Curiously, although the most recent two attempts received massive help from the Labour Government, the Labour leaders, knowing that patients prefer their doctors to try to keep them alive rather than to kill them, never had the courage to promote the death-by-doctor bills as official government Bills but preferred the proposed legislation to be presented by backbenchers and then given quiet support in an unsuccessful attempt to ensure it was passed.)

The latest “legalised euthanasia bill,” surely one of the most badly conceived, misleading and dangerous pieces of legislation ever introduced into the British Parliament, was, in September 2026, yet again rejected.

The one certainty is that a small number of people pushing this deadly legislation (more than a few of them professionals, employed to promote “assisted dying”) will be back for yet another attempt at pushing through legislation which will, I believe, eventually result in the disabled, the mentally ill and the poor being killed as part of the global depopulation plan which is part of the Great Reset.

This is already happening around the world. And when similar legislation suddenly appears all around the world, and a clear pattern has emerged, I find myself being suspicious about the motives of those promoting the Great Reset.

When politicians or the public reject “death by doctor” legislation, they are told to vote again. And again. And again. And again. Normally once would be enough. Politicians don’t usually bring back legislation which has been rejected once, let alone five times.

Five times in recent years there have been attempts to introduce “death by doctor” laws into the UK. And five times the attempts have failed.

But the promoters of “death by doctor” bills will try again, despite the fact that the idea of allowing doctors to kill patients is unpopular both with doctors and with patients. No one wants this damned legislation except a few insane fanatics working towards the Great Reset and global depopulation.

“Death by doctor” bills are, like those monsters which used to scare children in the 1960s, never allowed to crawl away into a corner and die quietly. “Death by doctor” bills will always be back because euthanasia (or whatever the politicians choose to call it) is part of the Great Reset.

Every time one of these bills gets rejected, there is another vote, and another vote – in the same way that voters who choose the “wrong” answer at the ballot box are, these days, asked to try again until they get it right (particularly if the vote affects the European Union in any way).

The supporters of this dangerous legislation, which will allow doctors to kill patients who have been convinced that death is their only answer, will say that they will only offer euthanasia to a small number of patients who are in terrible pain and who are desperate to die.

And some naïve and ignorant campaigners may think that’s what will happen.

But in every country where doctor-assisted suicide has been made legal, the rules about who can be killed have been quickly changed – with the parameters being extended and the original restrictions brushed aside.

What starts out as an apparently well-meant service for the few quickly becomes nothing less than the mass murder of people who are regarded by the conspirators and their slaves as a useless drain on society.

U.S. To Establish Two New Military Bases In Greenland — Narsarsuaq And Mestersvig Sites Agreed At UNGA

The United States is set to establish two new military bases in Greenland under a trilateral agreement with Denmark and Greenland expected to be signed Tuesday at the United Nations General Assembly in New York City.

Washington intends to reopen Narsarsuaq, the site of the former Bluie West One installation that operated through the 1950s, as well as establish a new presence at Mestersvig on Greenland’s remote east coast. The Mestersvig site currently serves as a forward outpost for the Sirius Dog Sled Patrol, an elite Danish special forces unit conducting Arctic reconnaissance.

The two new locations will supplement Pituffik Space Base — formerly Thule Air Base — which has served as the sole remaining American installation in Greenland since the Cold War drawdown. At its Cold War peak, the United States maintained 17 military installations across Greenland and stationed more than 10,000 personnel there. The planned expansion represents a measured but significant return to that posture.

Three sources familiar with the negotiations confirmed the agreement’s provisions, while noting that details remained subject to final adjustment until the document is formally signed. A White House spokesperson declined to discuss specifics, reiterating only that the deal would “secure and defend the security of Greenland and the United States.”

Flock Safety Offers Buyouts As Abuse Scandal Deepens — Georgia Should Take Note

Flock Safety, the Atlanta-based company that’s built a surveillance network of license plate readers across the country, is offering employees the chance to leave with a packet of cash and benefits in what the company is calling the “most generous” severance package ever offered, Wired reports.

The crisis for Flock Safety is centered around the misuse of its surveillance technology by law enforcement. In August The Washington Post detailed 46 instances of police officers using Flock cameras to track people including ex-girlfriends, wives, and even partners of domestic violence incidents. The revelations led to a firestorm of cancellations across the country.

Florida and Texas announced they would no longer use the license plate readers. An anti-surveillance group also said that 90 cities had dropped Flock contracts in August, a fourfold increase from the previous month. CEO Garrett Langley called the “biggest damage” to his company from the controversy to “internal morale.”

As for why this is a big story for Georgia, the Atlanta-based company is after all headquartered in the state where its extensive network of cameras across neighborhoods, highways, and smaller cities and towns is secretly monitoring the vast majority of vehicle travel. And Florida and Texas have seen enough to stop using the surveillance system.

For now, the voluntary buyout move by Flock Safety’s management is an effort to contain the crisis while avoiding the appearance of mass layoffs. However, the core question remains: who will watch the watchers when the largest surveillance company in the US discovers that there are limits to what the public at large, as well as the company’s employees, are willing to accept?

Pastor at James Talerico’s “Sanctuary Church” Admits to Harboring Illegal Alien for 8 Years, Says “We’re Not a Belief-Based Church”

The Reverend Carol Johnson from St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, the home church of Democrat James Talerico, was caught on undercover video recently exposing the world to the community’s wackadoodle principles.

Brandon Waltens from Texas Scorecard released this video on Monday.

Rev. Johnson admits in this video that the church has been harboring an illegal alien from Guatemala for eight years. She also speaks proudly that the church is “not a belief-based church.”

This may explain a lot about the Democrat man-child, trans-kids-loving candidate from Texas.

Rev. Carol Johnson: We don’t have a lot of people who are religious here. Right. Yeah, it’s very interesting.

Don’t laugh at me. We’re not a belief-based church, we’re a values-based church. The beliefs are what Jesus taught in the Sermon on the Mount. Loving each other, taking care of each other. Anti-empire. After the church became part of the Holy Roman Empire, suddenly Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount just went out the window and it became all about beliefs and whether you believe the right thing. Right?

And so we don’t spend time on that later stuff. We don’t spend time on creeds. Right?

We focus on the Sermon on the Mount. We’ve stood up for LGBTQ+ rights forever. Right, right. And racial justice. And we have immigration stuff and we actually have a person. There’s a gentleman living in our church who is from Venezuela… No, Guatemala. And he has lived here for 8 years.

Questioner: A Sanctuary Church. I’ve been following the Talarico campaign. I understand he goes to this church and speaks about it in interviews.

Rev. Johnson: Yeah, he grew up in this church.

Unknown Flying Object Observed Over Iran Last Night – What Was It?

This was seen in the sky over Iran tonight. What the hell is it? Are we looking at a UFO?

Al Jazeera also reported on the sighting.

A mysterious object filmed hovering over Tehran has sparked online speculation, with theories ranging from a children’s kite to advanced military surveillance equipment, while Iranian authorities have not identified it.

If the US was trying to get some attention and scare the hell out of the terrorist Islamic regime ruling over Iran, I would think this worked. Some individuals believe this is the TR-3B that has been reported in the past. Could it be?

|The unidentified glowing object spotted in the night sky over Tehran’s Azadegan Expressway on the evening of September 20 was neither the first nor the last of its kind. While U.S. officials have consistently denied the existence of the TR-3B for three decades, the appearance of a triangular craft over Iranian airspace reveals a distinct pattern: the U.S. is utilizing its most classified aircraft to conduct missions in Iranian airspace that it publicly denies undertaking.

TR-3B “Black Manta”: America’s Deepest Secret

The TR-3B “Black Manta” is an anti-gravity tactical reconnaissance aircraft allegedly developed in secret by the U.S. under the “Aurora” program, utilizing funding from the SDI (Strategic Defense Initiative) and “black budget” resources.

SOCIALIST GRIFT: Spanish Judge Sends PM Pedro Sánchez’s Wife Begoña Gomes To Trial Over Influence Peddling and Misappropriation of Public Funds

It’s reckoning time in Madrid.

Few heads of government anywhere in the world are so surrounded by corruption scandals, investigations, and prosecutions as Spain’s Pedro Sánchez.

By now, his brother, many of his top aides, his predecessor, and even his wife are all allegedly involved in wrongdoing.

Yesterday (21), it arose that the Spanish Prime Minister’s wife, Begoña Gómez, will have to stand trial on charges of influence peddling and embezzlement.

Politico reported:

“Investigating Judge Juan Carlos Peinado on Monday ordered Gómez and Cristina Álvarez, her aide at La Moncloa, the prime minister’s office, to face trial after Madrid’s Provincial Court cleared the way in July, Spanish media reported.

The case centers on accusations that Gómez used her relationship to advance her career and co-direct a program at Madrid’s Complutense University, while also using public resources and government staff for private interests. Gómez denies wrongdoing.”
