Good day all. Iran has decided to double down on stupid and currently, the United States is now going after both their remaining military infrastructure and their general infrastructure. The AirForce and the Navy are starting to bomb bridges and power stations.
Iran caused all this with their attacks on gulf shipping. For several months, President Trump has been trying to get the Iran to stop being a pain in the ass to the world. However, the IRGC and the surviving Mad Mullahs have done nothing but lie.
This has led to oil prices climbing again as speculators panic and assume that there won’t be enough oil for the work economy. However, what they aren’t doing is seeing who is actually producing the most crude oil. Here’s a hint. It’s not the gulf oil states. Here are the details from the Epoch Times:
The United States was the largest crude oil producer in the world in 2025, outputting a “record-high” 13.6 million barrels per day (bpd), according to a July 9 statement from the Energy Information Administration (EIA).
U.S. output was far ahead of second-placed Russia, which produced 9.9 million bpd. Saudi Arabia came in third with 9.6 million bpd, with Canada in the fourth spot at 5 million bpd. The difference in oil output between the United States and other top producers widened last year, with Russian supplies mostly remaining unchanged year-over-year, while Saudi Arabia saw a modest increase.
The 13.6 million bpd output breaks the previous U.S. and global production record of 13.2 million bpd set in 2024. The United States first overtook Russia as the top global oil producer in 2018 and has since retained the No. 1 spot.
Russia has a small problem with their oil production. First, they are being sanctioned for invading the Ukraine. Second, and arguably more importantly, The Ukrainians are blowing up Russia’s oil infrastructure and targeting their tankers, at least those not being seized by the United States for violating the sanctions.
The EIA attributed the consistently high oil production in the United States to “continued gains in drilling productivity and operational efficiency across key shale basins, which allow operators to extract more oil per well.”
Powered by shale development, the United States has become not only the top crude oil producer “but the largest producer of crude oil ever,” the agency stated.
Honestly, it’s the United States that leads the way in drilling and oil recovery technology. Shale Oil and fracking has been a game changer when it comes to oil production. There has also been a sea change in the governmental regulatory system.
The higher oil output follows multiple actions taken by the Trump administration aimed at boosting production. In November 2025, the administration announced the approval of new oil drilling leases off the coasts of Alaska, Florida, and California.
Alaska and Florida don’t have a problem with this. Kalifornistan? They are working to drive the oil companies, and frankly all businesses out of the state. I haven’t followed up on what has been happening with the leases out there, but you know that the State Watermelons are doing everything they can to block them. (Watermelon. Green on the outside and communist red on the inside)
This action came under criticism from the environmental group Sierra Club. Mike Scott, Sierra Club’s oil and gas campaign manager, in a March 18 statement, accused President Donald Trump of making oil corporation CEOs richer at the cost of the environment.
“The Western Arctic is not just any landscape—it’s one of the last true wild places in the country, home to rare and threatened wildlife and cultures that have subsisted on the land for thousands of years,” Scott said.
“Drilling in the Arctic won’t solve our energy crisis, but it will cause irreversible damage to these pristine landscapes. Big Oil has been champing at the bit to get its hands on these lands, and Trump is making their wishes come true.”
Never have so few been so wrong about so much. Oil companies have learned a lot regarding minimizing the effects of their production. The watermelons might also recall the voices of doom regarding the Alaskan pipeline when it was being built. They claimed that it would interfere with various animals. What actually happened? The wildlife loved the pipeline. Why? Because they have to heat the oil to move it through, and the animals liked being warm when they stood around it.
The Department of Justice has decided to ditch the oil and gas leasing restrictions imposed by the prior administration in the Coastal Plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Alaska and its industrial development and export authority had filed lawsuits challenging the restrictions.
The Biden Maladministration did enormous damage to the United States. Some of it was directly from Dementia Joe’s inbred incompetence and corruption, but most of it was from all the Progressives that Biden’s Deep State handlers brought in. It’s will take years to correct all the damage they did, if we even can. However, what the Trump administration has done so far is a good start.
On July 7, the department stated that these restrictions violated federal law and asked the court to dismiss the lawsuits.
U.S. acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said that the prior administration’s actions “improperly limited” Alaska’s energy potential through “unreasonable” regulations.
“This settlement supports the Trump administration’s commitment to secure American energy independence and our national security for generations to come,” he said.
Because of all this and the fact that the United States is the largest producer of oil in the world, people both in and out of the Administration are looking into why, now that we’re in the process of reducing Iran to a series of overlapping craters, oil prices are climbing. There is no shortage of oil, obviously.
While people like to blame the oil companies and the gas stations, the real answer is a bit more complicated. Part of it is the logistics of getting oil into tankers and shipping them to customers. The other is speculators. It’s the latter that can cause oil prices to climb. They’re buying futures and the middlemen are betting that there will be a shortage. The best way to ruin the arbitragers is to put so much oil out there that even they can’t force the prices up. It looks like that is starting to happen.

two further points that need to be addressed:
1: refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to its maximum capacity.
2: increase refining capacity so that ALL US Petroleum exports are value added refined products, while putting further downward pressure on domestic consumer prices.
You will want the price of oil as low as possible. I believe the government pays market value.
