Following its historic shift to being a net exporter of petroleum in 2020, the United States continued to export more petroleum (which includes crude oil, refined petroleum products, and other liquids) than it imported in 2021.

The following case, however, is something we have never seen. A cop pulled over an innocent man because a corner of his still legible license plate, was bent.  Continue reading “Innocent Man Swarmed by Cops, Dragged from Car, Beaten Over a Bent License Plate”
