Venezuela Can’t Sell Its Oil And Its Storage Tanks Are Full
*OilPrice.com: **Brimming Storage And No Buyers: Venezuela’s Oil Production Tanks* Venezuela’s oil production took another hit in recent days, as the country struggles with brimming storage tanks and no buyers. PDVSA slashed output in the Orinoco Belt to just 200,000 bpd, according to Bloomberg, after averaging roughly double that for much of this year. The lack of space in storage forced production cuts, including at joint venture projects, where output has been more stable. Sources told Bloomberg that the Sinovensa blending facility would be idled for at least a week. Venezuela’... more »
WILL MITT ROMNEY SAVE US? (PROBABLY NOT.)

Romney rejecting donors’ calls for him to primary Trump, but he’s planning to rally Senate Republicans to vote against Trump in impeachment trial. My latest:https://t.co/ps0SCpY8CC — Gabriel Sherman (@gabrielsherman) October 8, 2019 Or does he?

Ian Hislop; the ballerina
Did we dutifully watch Ian Hislop’s piece about Fake Noos? I did but unfortunately kept dozing off - partly due to the previous night’s insomnia. I hope you’ve got access to The Times’s (£) review by Carol Midgley because this is going to be a review of a review. Ms Midgley usually comes out with fairly perceptive analyses of programmes I’ve watched. While her take on “Motherland’ is spot on, in my humble opinion the Hislop review lacks a certain something. Yes, the example of the false-flag fake story planted merely to hook a rival’s plagiarism was entertaining and informa... more »
Trump-- An Impeachable Offense Nearly Every Single Day!
Over the weekend, Adam Schiff, noted that "The real risk of the Trump administration’s blanket stonewalling of Congress is that it’s fundamentally altered the balance of power that our framers intended. If a president can thwart congressional oversight that means any future president can be as corrupt as they choose and there’s no recourse." Before dawn yesterday, the *Washington Post* published a piece by Seung Min Kim and Rachel Bade: Trump’s defiance of oversight challenges Congress’s ability to rein in executive branch.

The President's decision in Syria, and the cost of war
Following President Trump's decision to pull back US forces from a potential conflict with Turkey in parts of Syria, he's come in for fierce criticism from many quarters. I support his decision, as I stated yesterday. In that article, I said: I've been on the front lines of a war like that - a war that the political masters on both sides kept going for years longer than it need have lasted, solely because of their intransigence and blinkered vision. Many paid for those shortcomings in blood; but *it was never the politicians who paid*. It was always the men in uniform. I don'... more »
