REBEL WITH A CAUSE(Self-important rant alert)I didn’t pick the fight. Boulder did. Or, maybe Kroger did. Either way, they pushed me over the edge. Boulder County Health regulators recently reinstated the indoor mask mandate for publicly open buildings in the County. This includes the King Soopers (Kroger store) in Louisville that I frequent, where I curate and harvest healthy, tasty, professionally approved grub. Now, I don’t believe in the Church of Maskism, because I have never seen any actual science supporting its doctrines, only shifting edicts from the CDC as handed down from on high by Saint Fowchee of White Coat.However, I believe it was Sun Milley Tzu who said when it comes to dealing with extremist fanatics, it is prudent to pick worthwhile fights. I believe pushing back against symbolic social controls is certainly worthwhile. But, an archaic tome called the New Testament suggests it is wise to count the cost before building a tower. I’ve self-servingly–don’t say lazily or timidly–interpreted this to include eyeballing the chances of success before crying “Banzai!!” and hurtling headlong. The chances of victory in pushing back signal bullies are enhanced with backup, with fellow warriors to join the fray and spread the fight and keep the rulers off balance. But, unlike such meccas of resistance as Douglas County or Weld County, I live in Louisville, a miasmic Ring to Boulder’s foul Saturn. The local sheep are militant about enforcing sheepish conformity.Plus, the messengers who would call me on my transgression are likely to be teen baggers, whose work we want to encourage, or maybe middle aged cashier moms who need the job. I’m grateful they show up for work. I don’t want to make their tasks harder or traumatize them with futile drama that accomplishes zilch. So, till now, I have been a compliant sheep to help maintain shopping tranquility.And then. The normal elevator music—which truth be told, is actually a not bad mix of oldies, classic rock, and current ear candy—got interrupted by an official message. One that is repeated with annoying frequency. Cue the anchorman’s dulcet, upbeat baritone:“In keeping with local executive orders, all employees, customers, and vendors must wear a mask while inside any King Soopers grocery store. We thank you for making adjustments while we all cooperate to keep ourselves and each other healthy.”Executive. Order. Why does Kroger have to embrace and trumpet that suspect concept? Why couldn’t they say “local health regulations” or even “emergency guidelines” or *something* that feigns to apply normal civic principles? No, they leave ringing in my ears that I am under somebody’s order.But I am not! I am a civilian. I follow the law, not orders. Even a school kid or younger who’s watched Sesame Street, knows, from city to state to the Grand USA, how a bill becomes a law. And I will not tacitly endorse, submit to, or participate in normalizing the concept that civilian citizens are subject to any commander’s ORDER. So, in the spirit of Spartacus, Patrick Henry, and Vincent Van Gogh, I slipped the loop off one ear, and marched through the aisles like Sherman burning cultural pieties. There, for all to see is my bra-less face, and my mocking, dangling, idled gag.In three return trips, I have yet to be apprehended, questioned, or bayonetted. I’m negotiating a nice film deal with Ken Burns. -
The donkey told the tiger, “The grass is blue.”
The tiger replied, “No, the grass is green .”
The discussion became heated, and the two decided to submit the issue to arbitration, so they approached the lion.
As they approached the lion on his throne, the donkey started screaming: ??Your Highness, isn’t it true that the grass is blue?”
The lion replied: “If you believe it is true, the grass is blue.”
The donkey rushed forward and continued: ??The tiger disagrees with me, contradicts me and annoys me. Please punish him.”
The king then declared: ??The tiger will be punished with 3 days of silence.”
The donkey jumped with joy and went on his way, content and repeating ??The grass is blue, the grass is blue…”
The tiger asked the lion, “Your Majesty, why have you punished me, after all, the grass is green?”
The lion replied, ??You’ve known and seen the grass is green.”
The tiger asked, ??So why do you punish me?”
The lion replied, “That has nothing to do with the question of whether the grass is blue or green. The punishment is because it is degrading for a brave, intelligent creature like you to waste time arguing with an ass, and on top of that, you came and bothered me with that question just to validate something you already knew was true!”
The biggest waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who doesn’t care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions. Never waste time on discussions that make no sense. There are people who, for all the evidence presented to them, do not have the ability to understand. Others who are blinded by ego, hatred and resentment, and the only thing that they want is to be right even if they aren’t.
When IGNORANCE SCREAMS, intelligence moves on.

David Ramsden-Wood, Hitachi Vantara O&G Business Development; #hottakeoftheday, Author, Observer of intellectual inconsistency and caller of BS as required
It’s… about …. time.
For far too long, the oil and gas industry has gone along to get along. The substantial platforms of our majors and their marketing budgets and trade associations have placated, instead of attacked, and been quiet, passive, and accepting. If we learned anything as a society in 2020, it’s that the media is propaganda tool for those pushing an agenda. Narrative is controlled and bought. Full stop.Before we get to the #hottakeoftheday “Hero of the Year” award (hint, it’s Chris Wright of Liberty Oilfield Services), let’s look at Engine No. 1’s proxy battle with Exxon. Here is a hedge fund that owned 0.02% of ExxonMobil’s stock, or roughly 8.5 mm shares and bought at roughly $40/share (~$340 mm). Their proxy battle cost $30 mm which represents ~9% cost on the total position.
Do we REALLY think that Engine No. 1 paid for that? They have 3 new directors, with a press machine and a “hedge fund” behind them that is happy to spend money to influence the energy transition narrative and investment outcomes.
Which brings us to Chris Wright and the battle the industry has had with The North Face, a VF Company. A CEO is in a unique position to use their platform to counteract one narrative with another.
Me? I love energy. Our life is enabled by energy. And the virtue signaling of those that don’t want to acknowledge the role oil and gas plays in our economy is getting really old. So… Chris. Thank you.
The video is below, and I encourage you to watch it and share it. He says it better than I ever could.
It’s…. about…. time.

“Roman Forum, Latin Forum Romanum, most important forum in ancient Rome, situated on low ground between the Palatine and Capitoline hills. The Roman Forum was the scene of public meetings, law courts, and gladiatorial combats in republican times and was lined with shops and open-air markets. Under the empire, when it primarily became a centre for religious and secular spectacles and ceremonies, it was the site of many of the city’s most imposing temples and monuments.”

It’s clear that we still need Colorado oil and gas. “This blizzard proves that during extreme weather winter, solar panels and wind turbines are of little or no value to the electric grid.”
This blizzard proves that we have not been taking our energy security seriously enough. The concept

The massive blast of Siberia-like cold that is wreaking havoc across North America is proving that if we humans want to keep surviving frigid winters, we are going to have to keep burning natural gas — and lots of it — for decades to come.
That cold reality contradicts the “electrify everything” scenario that’s being promoted by climate change activists, politicians, and academics. They claim that to avert the possibility of catastrophic climate change, we must stop burning hydrocarbons and convert all of our transportation, residential, commercial, and industrial systems so that they are powered solely on electricity, with most of that juice coming, of course, from forests of wind turbines and oceans of solar panels.
But attempting to electrify everything would concentrate our energy risks on an electricity grid that is already breaking under the surge in demand caused by the crazy cold weather. Across America, countless people don’t have electricity. I’m one of them. Our power here in central Austin went out at about 3 am. I am writing this under a blanket, have multiple layers of clothes on, and am nervously watching my laptop’s battery indicator.

Join the NSRF this Saturday morning from 9:00am-11:00am at Amazing Grace Community Church (541 E 99th Place in Thornton) to hear highly sought after author and speaker Loren Spivack.Admission is $3 per person, bring a jacket since we’re meeting outside the church (due to the Governor’s executive orders about groups meeting in churches), bring a chair, and a friend or two to hear our engaging speaker.
Loren will be giving his presentation called ‘Why We Fight, And How We Win In November’, to groups throughout Colorado during the months of September and October. His presentation chronicles just how unprincipled the Left has become and fires up the base just in time for November.
Please check out Loren’s website www.fmwarrior.com to see samples of his speaking, learn more about his books, and see some of the other great groups that he’ll be speaking with on his upcoming trip out west.
Loren brings his books (listed below) along in case anyone is interested in purchasing one after his presentation.
Loren Spivack, “The Free Market Warrior,” was born and raised in Massachusetts and spent most of his adult life in New York City. Before becoming active in politics, Spivack worked for several non-profits and as a management consultant for both profit and non-profit companies.Spivack founded “Free Market Warrior” in 2009 in an effort to make a positive difference in American politics and economics.
His “Free Market Warrior” store was expelled from Concord Mills Mall in North Carolina in July of 2009 for selling material critical of the Obama Administration. (Mall owners, Simon Property Group, are major Democratic donors.) Since then Loren has devoted his time to teaching conservative groups about free market economics. He conducts “Economic Literacy” seminars across the United States. So far, Spivack has delivered his famous seminar on “Economic Literacy” to over 200 groups in 20 states.Spivack is also the author of “The New Democrat,” a parody history of the Obama administration, based on a famous children’s book. With pitch-perfect rhyme and clever illustrations, “The New Democrat” transforms the political personalities of our times into cartoon characters in a conservative morality play.
