The Oil and Gas Association based 30 minutes away from Midland in Odessa, Texas, has 47,000 members nationwide, including in Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Alaska.
On the same day that Ron DeSantis launched his national energy policy with a speech in Midland, Texas, the Oil and Gas Assoc endorses President Trump. 😂
(Via Daily Mail) – The Oil and Gas Workers Association is endorsing Donald Trump, snubbing Ron DeSantis on the day of his energy policy announcement to support the former president.
‘Governor DeSantis says a lot of the right things, right, but his track record isn’t there,’ Oil and Gas Workers Association President Matt Coday told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview.
He cited Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement, his decision to exit the Iran nuclear deal, and the former president’s work to save American oil and gas jobs as the reason for the endorsement.
The announcement comes the same day DeSantis announced his energy policy, which includes plans to increase US oil and gas production with the goal of achieving $2 gas in 2025.
‘I will ensure that this country does not have to rely on hostile nations for its energy needs ever again,’ DeSantis said in a speech in Midland, Texas.
DeSantis’s announcement comes as he tries to position himself as the policy-focused GOP candidate. His campaign has been trailing in the polls.
Trump remains the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination with a 46 point lead over DeSantis, according to the RealClearPolitics polling average.
The former president was campaigning in Iowa on Wednesday with two events in the eastern part of the state. (read more)

Me too!!!
And Desantis gets dumped!
“Joe Biden in the White House. His intent and and obviously actions to kill our oil and gas jobs. They hurt our economy and threaten our national security.”
hmmm I wonder which country Bribeden is beholden to would benefit from a weakened USA?
I wonder how many?
MAGA!
drill baby drill
Desantis sore loser.
I c what u did there.
“Joe Biden proves our point every time he releases from the Strategic Petroleum Reserves, that more oil equals lower gas prices. Unfortunately, for every American Joe Biden drained our Strategic Petroleum Reserves,”
I believe he drained those reserves to lower prices for the Midterm Elections in 2022, but also bc his Chinese Masters told him to.
Didn’t the SOR actually go to the Chai-knees?
Speaking of the asshole has anyone noticed he’s disappeared for weeks again.
How can anyone not be livid every time you have to fill up your gas tank?These phoney pieces of garbage are fulfilling their roles of eliminating America’s middle class. How can you not really dislike these turds. (Hate) is a term my mother taught me to never use.
Ummm….every time I have to leave the house, in some way, it costs me $100.
We now stay in…a LOT!
Per the 12th Amendment to the US Constitution: “The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot for two persons, of whom one at least shall not lie an Inhabitant of the same State with themselves.” So DeSantis knew that Trump could not pick him as his running mate since they both reside in Florida. However, Trump could have temporarily changed his State of Residence back to NY, similar to Dick Cheney’s move to Wyoming from Texas so he could be Bush’s running mate. Once elected, Trump could have changed his residence back to Florida since he only has one term as President. DeSantis was too ambitious to wait his turn and make such a deal with Trump. Could have been a very strong ticket.
Read 12A again in its entirety. There is a “penalty” to pay in regards to the electoral votes, it does not say that the Pres and VP candidates cannot be from the same state.
Premium gas at Chevron in Orange County, CA was $6.39 up $1/gallon in just three weeks!
That was pretty low. Most Chevrons are closing in on $7/gallon.
Trump policy gave the market 2$ gas. DeSantis can only speculate how to get us to 2$ gas.
DeSantis wouldn’t ever know how to do that, even if his handlers wanted him to.
Trump policy gave the market 2$ gas. Meatball can only give us heartburn. 😁
I agree, but $2 and below gas hurt the oil industry. Foreign competition opened the spigot at the same time we began producing fracked well and drove the barrel price down below what our oil producers could extract it for. Many oil services companies failed from the low prices. The sweet spot is somewhere around $2.50-$3.00
Goes to show DeSantis is “special”. He should’ve been able to read the tea leaves and say, “no, I’m putting my support behind Trump and will be looking at a 2028 run”.
He could’ve GHW Bush’d us all (except Sundance). Instead, he’s too “slow” and believed all the hype of the inner circle: “I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and doggone it, people like me.”
Could this Trump endorsement by the Oil and Gas Workers be even more evidence that the Bushies have lost influence?
I certainly hope so. They have done enough damage.
💯
Especially because the Bushes (G W and Barb) settled in Midland…Bush Country.
Delusions of grandeur and visions of splendor by the wifey led Ronda down this primrose path.
And the hits just keep on coming for Meatball!
On deck, UAW.
As the old saying goes, DeSantis is always “a day late and a dollar short”, only in his case it’s “100’s of days late and millions of dollars short”.
It’s so much easier when it’s OPM (Other People’s Money).
We are looking at a meatloaf.
If Meatball is just going to do everything that PDJT did then what do we need Meatball for?
He might as well print out copies of Trump’s Agenda 47 and write “Ron!” over Trump’s name.
That’s what I said!! If he’s just gonna do everything Trump has already done, what’s the point of having him in the race? Ultimately if Ron stays in the race he we take some of the important votes that Trump will need because the people in the biden camp are throwing rocks but it doesn’t have any effect because everyone knows ol’ slow joe cannot fool us again by campaigning from his basement because of some fake, made up disease. People were sick but I don’t think it was anything other than the regular flu bug that’s been around for a couple of hundred years or more. You’ll notice how the “flu” just sort of disappeared during the covid nonsense?
😆
Oil and gas workers, support the real President Trump, because they’re part of the MAGA Patriots.
Absolutely. And no one has been hurt more by Biden’s destructive energy polices than the oil and gas workers.
‘Biden’ is openly moving to sunset their industry and cancel every single one of their jobs.
Unlike progressive, collaborationist auto makers, who are cowardly sabotaging Americans by phasing out fuel-burning vehicles, the oil & gas industry punches back.
Trump is the ONLY candidate who understands and says that Americans should be able to buy any kind of vehicle they choose.
I hope Trump takes the next step and declares that carbon dioxide is NOT a pollutant – a definition that the retarded Smirking Chimp bought into in 2007, after the Bali climate conference, sending us on the road to ruin and mandatory EeeVees.
Permian basin, gulf, Alaska, and west east coast and blm leases and dakotas all killed by green new deal and absolute crap to shut it all down. Who else would they vote for. I don’t think this will be much of a change for Trump endorsement but maybe some families of them and communities that were brainwashed. Maybe NM points beyond its portion of the Permian.
Governor of AK intends to sue FJB on the canceled leases as he cannot cancel them from a previous administration. DOI can’t do it either.
Indian giver ‘Biden’ co-opted a collaborationist Native American, Interior ‘Secretary’ Deb Haaland, to sell out her own people and the rest of us too.
It’s shameful for the ‘Biden’ crime family to pimp out a Native American woman to advance their sick, anti-American Woke agenda.
Although, sad to say, the leadership of Arizona’s reservations all are DemonRats. In fact, three of them were members of Arizona’s 2020 presidential electors for ‘Biden.’
Don’t they see what DemonRats have done to African-Americans???
Good!
NM communists hate us in the Southeast quarter of the state where the Permian Basin is partially located. We hate them too. The latest congressional redistricting in my town resulted in us having 3 Demoncrat congressmen instead of 1 Republican. I am sure it was totally fair and on the up and up. They would rather pay $7 per gallon of gas and drive worthless electric cars than wake up. Sad state of affairs.
It’s such a shame the e cars are an absolute disaster and NM is a beautiful but poor and the chaos and craziness of communist rule, much like current AZ. I just commented on a local city plan for 2035-40. I loved NM and considered moving to your section of the state. Ya the partisan and gerrymandering redistribution.Needless to say the central planners here hated my response butting up against their fifteen minute smart grid cities with waymo and e trucks and forced tax increases. It’s so sad to see the beautiful Permian basin so lifeless and derricks hardly in use. So many wonderful jobs and products not being produced.

Your area was part of the Republic of Texas from 1836 to 1845, and later part of Confederate Arizona.
When the Republic of Texas tragically surrendered its sovereignty in 1845 to join the Yankee States, a dirty deal was done in Clowngress to lop off eastern New Mexico as a territory, which otherwise would and should have remained part of Texas.
Just as eastern Oregon has voted county by county to affiliate with Idaho, eastern New Mexico has every right (and historical precedent) to secede from the Lujan Grishan usurper government and affiliate with Texas, if it so chooses.
Or just to secede, period, on its own, and finance itself with oil production. Mesilla NM is your rightful capital, not alien Santa Fe.
I’ve been getting a popup spam ad only when visiting cth. It’s happened before but been real bad this last week.
its been abysmal
Use the Brave browser!
Use Brave browser…it will never happen again.
roger on that Mr Bill was having a really bad time with popup adds someone here at the treehouse suggested brave and its been great ever since
R.D.
That’s what I use and had no problems

Yup.
I have apple phone. I went to settings; safari and selected the block pop ups. For some reason it wasn’t selected. Going to see if this helps
I loved Trump taking questions in Iowa today. He seems like he’s gotten younger.
And even more handsome.
That left a mark.
🎉😄😄😄👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Didn’t joe say that “I love minors, cause I’m from Scranton”?
my first wife… great se x …. behind the bleachers with his dog-face … pony… my son was killed… the children like to rub the hair on my legs… I was at the world trade on 911
There hasn’t been mining in the Wyoming Valley (Scranton/ Wilkes Barre area) since the 1950’s.
Joe doesn’t know crap
Joe Sr. sold used cars.
Bingo!
I don’t expect to see $2/gal gas again in my lifetime. The only thing that drove the price that low in the Trump years was the loss of demand due to the economy shutting down during Covid. We also had WTI crude at around $12/barrel back then, and nobody can afford to drill at those levels.
Still if we knocked off a buck or two from where it is now, and let the country become energy self-sufficient after we kick the commissars out of government, it will be a good thing. Just not $2/gal good.
Not true. It was sub$2 gas in 2019. Try harder.
In 2019 it was $1.89 in SW Missouri
Huh? Is your real moniker Spacenut?
Some people call him the space cowboy 🙂
Others call him Maurice.
He’s a joker.
Now that’s funny right there.
And a toker…
Not speaking of the pompatus of love , though.
LOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!
That’s bullshit. Covid didn’t even strike until the very last year (late in the year, no less) of Trump’s presidency. Where in the world have YOU been?
Gas was 1.15 here in Alabama in mid 2018
100% Wrong. Price dropped long before covid because Trump enabled massive increase in domestic drilling and production. Got us out of the OPEC oil slave market. Biden shut that down the day after he was installed. Now we’re back on the OPEC oil slave wagon. And Saudi Arabia just pumped up the price per bbl. They knew Bidumb emptied our Strategic Petroleum Reserves. So they’re shoving it up our tailpipes.
I have heard the sweet spot for low prices and producers being able to make enough to stay in business is in the $2.50-$3.00 range.
I’ll bet Trump has a Green New Deal in mind for the Oil and Gas Workers! Green in their pockets after this 4 year debacle.
Exactly.
And while he is at it, I am hoping he eliminates those blinding and eyeball piercing LED headlights on vehicles.
I wear shades when I drive at night.
Thank you, Corey Hart.
LED manufacturers must do a better job keeping the Kelvin temperature at 2650 to 3000 degrees. Those other ones above that temp can cream one’s eyesight!
It seems to be mostly large pickup trucks whose headlights are higher then the roof line of a lot of vehicles.
DeSanctimonius haz sadz
I am from the the Greeneghis Khan America First Association with a membership of 1 and I endorse Trump!
Trump for the Pump should be their slogan!
Watch the game.
Ha!!!!! I cannot write the D word!
I am bombarded with pop up ads on this site. It’s to the point now I am getting several at a time. Anyone else have this issue?
adblock+ will stop popups on a pc
Use Brave… nice try troll
Yes. I notice that the troll topic deflection is now “annoying pop ups”.
They have graduated from WinRed and donating to PDJT to this new talking point.
Good pick up Dante…that’s my observation too…again, thanks for having my back.
Yes. Have tried a lot of remedies.
Brave browser stops the pop up spam on CTH. I’ve been using Brave browser on my Mac for two + years on CTH. Recently I made it my default browser and it has significantly improved browsing with far less ads across all websites.
Smart Move! As they say, President Trump has a much more sophisticated campaign strategy this time around. HE’S ON FIRE!
Is that the DeSantis campaigns latest add ?
Yes! Something great for a change. We needed that!
Thank you Oil & Gas Workers Association! Proud of you!
DeSantis talks America First. But look at who his big donors are. They are not for the America First agenda. And they will control DeSantis if he ever became president.
Is anyone else getting sent to spam URLs whenever you visit the Treehouse? It’s very frustrating.
never seen a popup on CTH. I use adblock+on my pc & laptop for many years (free).
Use Brave… nice try troll
Thank you. These trolls are so obvious.
No Spam, just meatball and pasta sauce ads.
It will take a lot of pipeline work to become energy independent again. EVs are a PIPE DREAM. We just don’t have the infrastructure for them nor a huge demand!
Da Meatball just doesn’t have da sauce.
Quit Ron. Not while you’re ahead; you never, ever were.
2 years to lower gas prices? He obviously does not understand the concept of ‘under budget and ahead of schedule’.
I think the problems of ‘policy focused’ candidates, have been the heart of the problems we are now facing.
$2 a gallon? It was less than that in my city when Trump was in office. Bottomed out around $1.90 if I remember correctly. Still have a receipt around here for posterity.
When I drove my class A motorhome from Minnesota to Arizona in the Trump years I filled up at a station in South Dakota 1.29 a gallon for the cheap gas cost less than 300 dollars for that one way trip
Here It was $1.68 near the 2020 election period….. then Biden got installed and it is now $3.78+ depending on the grade of gas. Will note gas immediately went up above $3+ when Biden got installed.
President Trump has a proven record on energy policy. His actions agreed with his words for America. He’s someone the oil and gas sector can trust.
Words of iron, DecisionTime2016!
Simply delicious. Perfect timing.
DeSantas is like yesterdays wind.
I forgot witch direction or mph it was.
DeSantis is yesterday’s Flatulence.
Track record!
Trump: your gonna need a bigger track!
MAGA Jaws 2024

Chip Roy is a

Yes, and he is 100% behind impeaching Paxton!
BEAST😹🤣🤪❤️
Strategic doesn’t begin to describe Trump’s timing these days!
Retired Magistrate here: Godzilla Trump strikes again!
“On the same day that Ron DeSantis launched his national energy policy with a speech in Midland, Texas, the Oil and Gas Assoc endorses President Trump.”
This made me laugh out loud. As a retired oilfield employee myself, this also made me proud ❤️
They had such hopes for DeSanctus.
The best laid plans of mice-like men . . .
Trump had several hardass negotiators on his team and one of them, Obrien was on FBN smirking that the Biden negotiators in Iran couldn’t negotiate their way out of a paper bag.
With the amount of money the feds control, we need real business MEN who can stand up for us on the national stage. IMO.
Seems like people in the real world view Desunktas as a Listless Vessel.
Sound Familiar?
https://twitter.com/TrumpWarRoom/status/1639033183197966337/mediaViewer?
Well FJB and his successors are all in on windmills and solar to pray at the altar of climate change (and usurp power and wealth) so its a matter of everyone’s survival.
All righty! Bring it on! MAGA forever!
Why are we even hearing about desantis?
He’s over, caput, done, finished.
Quit beating this dead horse.
He’s not dead yet. Until he formally withdraws and the people of Florida boo him when he returns to Tallahassee and Steve Cortes is standing on a street corner holding a tin cup then we can move on.
I want both of them crushed. Their kind must never rise again.
“I want both of them crushed. Their kind must never rise again.”
Exactly, Dantes!
I see what you did there! 😉😁😂
When they haul his ass to the glue factory we will consider ceasing heaping abuse on him.
How the Hell do you think he cratered like this?
We did it, and we ain’t stopping.
Is someone holding a gun to your head? If you don’t want to “hear” about it, then don’t read about it!
You remind me of the people who complain while watching the news. They make me want to grab the remote out of their hands and turn the damn TeeVee off!
O my!! Any more indictments in the pipeline?
DeXX the documented double-crosser.
…..No one likes a double-crosser, no one
……….Except another double-crosser
……………Remember that when you see the people who support him
………………..You can’t trust anything they say or do
…………………….Because they will double-cross you too.
“Let’s go Brandon and the democrats and the GOPe!”
I’m just so bummed about his lack of a firm stance on abortion 😩😩😩
Quoi?
It is a moot point regarding PDJT’s stance on abortion since the overturning of Roe v. Wade sent the issue back to the states where it belongs.
HOORAY!!
In Midland, no less; the heart of the Bushie empire. Talk about striking at the belly of the Beast.
Hail to the Chief! Sorry Ron.
