The U.S. led the world in oil production for the sixth consecutive year in 2023, according to a new report from the Energy Information Administration (EIA). Crude oil production in the U.S., including condensate, averaged 12.9 million barrels per day (b/d) in 2023 — a level which surpassed the American and global record of 12.3 million b/d that the U.S. set in 2019. Average monthly U.S. crude oil production also reached a record high in December 2023 at more than 13.3 million b/d.
"The United States produced more crude oil than any nation at any time, according to our International Energy Statistics, for the past six years in a row,"

Martin Kulldorff used to be a Professor at Harvard Medical School until COVID-19 destroyed his career.
Kulldorff wasn't fired because he spread wacky theories, or even opposed the use of the vaccine. He was fired because he told the truth at a time when telling the truth was absolutely forbidden. Kulldorff was one of too few who were willing to pay a high price to do the right thing. Far too few; in fact, people who knew he was right participated in the destruction of Kulldorff because failing to do so might cost them their jobs.
I am no longer a professor of medicine

Special counsel Robert Hur pushed back forcefully during his Tuesday testimony when Democrats repeatedly pushed him to take partisan positions on the differences between President Joe Biden and former president Donald Trump’s classified-documents cases.
Hur fielded questions from members of the House Judiciary Committee about his investigation into Joe Biden’s handling of classified documents following his vice presidency. House Democrats repeatedly questioned Hur’s partisan allegiances because of his decision to comment on Biden’s advanced age in his final report

Washington — Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito on Tuesday extended an order blocking Texas troopers and police from arresting and jailing migrants suspected of crossing the U.S. southern border without authorization under a strict state immigration law known as SB4.
Alito continued an administrative stay of a lower court order that had paved the way for Texas officials to enforce SB4, one of the toughest state immigration laws in U.S. history. The pause was previously going to expire on Wednesday evening. Alito on Tuesday extended it through Monday, March 18. Passed into law by the Texas legislature last year, SB4 authorizes Texas law enforcement at the state and local levels

The National Health Services announced Tuesday that U.K. gender clinics will no longer prescribe puberty blockers to children.
Puberty blockers will now only be available to minors who are participating in clinical research trials. The ruling follows a public consultation of the issue and a 2020 NHS England-sanctioned independent review of gender transition surgeries and hormone therapy for minors.
“Ending the routine prescription of puberty blockers will help ensure that care is based on evidence, expert clinical opinion and is in the best interests of the child,” Health Minister Maria Caulfield said in a statement to The Independent.

So much for that strange demand that Israel observe Ramadan during its war against Hamas and other Islamist terror networks. Hezbollah has 'celebrated' Ramadan by increasing the pace of its attacks in the north of Israel, ramping up the intensity of both sides. Overnight, Hezbollah launched over 100 rockets at Israel, prompting another round of answering attacks on their positions:
Israel responded with several strikes on Hezbollah infrastructure in Lebanon after alarms sounded in the Galilee and the Golan Heights as two barrages of at least 100 rockets in total were launched at northern Israel on Tuesday morning, the IDF reported. The first round contained 30 rockets,

Special counsel Robert Hur will defend on Tuesday the observations he made about President Joe Biden’s memory in his final report on the investigation into Biden’s handling of classified materials.
Ahead of his testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, Hur will deliver an opening statement, obtained by National Review, addressing criticisms of his decision to comment on Biden’s apparent memory lapses in his report, explaining that the commentary was necessary to explain why he didn’t believe Biden should be charged with willfully retaining classified documents, even though he had determined that the president did in fact knowingly retain such material.

At a Dutch museum dedicated to preserving the consequences of Jew-hate, a small girl got to experience that hate, too, as baying mobs waving Palestinian flags screamed out their hatred for Jews at the child.
Here is what was seen on Twitter: The picture was curiously redolent of Norman Rockwell's famous masterpiece about desegregation of schools titled "The Problem We All Live With," in this illustrative painting: Here's the best account of the context -- from The Guardian of all places:
Three-quarters of the Dutch Jewish population – 102,000 people – were killed by the Nazis during the second world war, the highest proportion in western Europe. But, unlike some other countries,

U.S. intelligence agencies are claiming that they “expect” protests to bring down the Israeli government and replace Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has been an obstacle to President Joe Biden’s plans for the Middle East.
The claim emerged in the latest “Annual Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community,” and was published by both the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times Monday evening, suggesting a coordinated leak to the media.
The assessment says:
Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has publicly stated his opposition to postwar diplomacy with the Palestinian Authority (PA) toward territorial compromise.

There are multiple reports Monday night that Special Counsel Robert Hur, who investigated Joe Biden's handling of classified documents, is no longer a Department of Justice employee and will be testifying at a House Judiciary Committee hearing as a private citizen. The Independent, known as a reliable lefty rag, published a story based on anonymous sources claiming that Hur "arranged his departure from the Department of Justice to be official as of Monday 11 March," specifically so he would not be "bound by the ethical guidelines which govern the behaviour of federal prosecutors" when testifying. According to the story, Hur has also "surrounded himself with Republican partisans and notorious figures

Remember when progressives in Florida sought to use lawfare to take down Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Act? It appears that their efforts were all for naught. In a settlement announced Monday, the State of Florida and the plaintiffs challenging the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” law have come to an agreement that seeks to balance the educational policy with the rights of LGBTQ individuals. The lawsuit has concluded with both parties agreeing to clarifications designed to mitigate concerns over discrimination and censorship.
The state of Florida settled a multi-year suit Monday against the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” law, which limits how LGBTQ topics can be discussed and presented in schools.

Joe Biden unveiled his 2025 budget proposal earlier today. In general, presidents’ budgets are hardly worth discussing. They project revenue and spending over the next ten years, and if you go back and look at them a few years later, they usually bear no relation to reality. And, in this instance, there is zero chance that Congress will pass anything resembling Biden’s budget, which can best be seen as a campaign document.
But, for what it is worth, this is what the Wall Street Journal had to say about it:
President Biden proposed Monday a $7.3 trillion budget for the next fiscal year that would raise taxes on wealthy people and
