Lithium is but one element that is needed to support this conversion. But geology shows that resources are finite and there are just not enough accessible materials on the planet Earth to convert all applications that use hydrocarbons to electricity. Which is the basic premise behind the Green New Deal, to electrify things like the motor fleet. Just plug everything into the wall outlet and go our merry way into a future of continuous improvement and growth without missing a step. The entire idea is a dangerous fantasy.

But vaccinated people have died from COVID. Virtually, I say this. And more people have died from adverse side effects from the COVID vaccines than all deaths from all other vaccines administered in the past 25 years. If this was a "normal" time the CDC would most surely stop the vaccinations. But its not so the "safe and effective" narrative continues to get played. Here's the other thing. About 1/2 of all workers at the CDC have declined to get vaccinated. The CDC. Think about what that means. These are not uninformed, uneducated hillbillies running around touting conspiracy theories. These are medical professionals that are among the most informed about COVID and the vaccines. So what exactly is their concern? Wouldn't it be beneficial to listen to what they have to say? Rather than flippantly dismiss anyone with a concern. Same thing with a large number of first responders and hospital workers that have been on the front lines since the beginning of the pandemic. Why are they, once again, among the most informed hesitant to get vaccinated? Its not because they are uninformed. Quite the opposite. Its because they are informed. Instead of just swallowing the official message hook, line, and sinker maybe people need to start doing some thinking for themselves? And start asking critical questions to official and experts and demanding answers not just more double-speak and evasive slogans. As for me I thought long and hard about it but eventually decided to get vaccinated with my second shot about 3 weeks ago. But that doesn't mean I accept the idea there's no risk to it. I just decided to roll the dice. Like the rest of you that got vaccinated whether you realize that or want to accept that there is a risk. When you got vaccinated with these Moderna or Pfizer gene therapy experimental vaccines you took that risk just like I did. If you want to pretend or believe or fool yourself into thinking there's no risk then that's your choice.

"Likely his iPhone" is speculation. And the alternative is some Russian operation or some other organized mis-information campaign planted the PC and also created thousands of fake e-mails, files, photos, etc. is also speculation without any hint of proof or facts made available to the public. Amazingly people actually believe this or choose not to believe the simplest explanation. Might this be a scenario where Occam's Razor could apply? You might be embellishing here by inserting Rudy here in the chain of custody. The chain of custody was Hunter to the Repair Shop to the FBI. The simplest and most logical explanation is the machine belongs to Hunter and all the contents are genuine and he was into some unethical and illegal stuff along with his dad. And the FBI buried it. Case closed.

The problem with CRT is it isn't a theory at all. Its not based on facts or data or statistics that have been tested or validated. Its based on an ideology derived and supported by beliefs. The core ideological belief is that "race" is the primary determinant of everything. Its a faith-based opinion expressed by the authors and creators of the "Theory". You can't debate facts or logic with people that are ideologically driven. You are just talking past each other. Speaking a completely different language. CRT isn't a theory, it ideological nonsense, an opinion at best, and it needs to go into the dumpster. And in regards CRT (and other things too) I am not compelled to explain or justify my views to political and social ideologs as their brains are just not "wired" to think objectively.

While I still don't see any conclusive evidence that vaccine immunity is "better" than natural immunity and therefore recovered COVID patients should still get vaccinated this is how the scientific method of discovery is supposed to work. It can be applied to a lot of things but in this case COVID. I or someone else, presents some position or conclusion and others provide and present information, data, or facts that may support, change, or invalidate the initial argument or conclusion. That's how we arrive at sound and prudent decisions and policies. That's how "experts" both inside and outside government and the medical community should be interacting. But that's not what's happening. We get edicts from high up that appear to conflict or contradict previous announcement without any explanation or reason why the "official" policy has changed. And anyone that disagrees with the now established and inflexible official position is dismissed or ignored. That's not the science method. That's an idealistic approach to making medical decisions. One other thing I might add is we don't know how long either vaccinated or natural immunity might last but have accurate and easy COVID antibody tests that can provide anyone with the ability to know what types and amount of antibodies they have in their system. Both from natural and vaccinated immunity. Knowing this for yourself might be a good piece of information to have when evaluating your specific situation.

Now... if this was the Republican debate our leftist buddies here and their delusional minds would charge the candidates were giving a "Nazi salute".

If you are vaccinated then anyone that is not vaccinated cannot get you sick. So what are you afraid of? Also people that have recovered from the infection but are not vaccinated have "better" natural immunity than those of us that have been vaccinated. Why should people that already have natural immunity get vaccinated? These people cannot get you sick. So what are you afraid of? Why isn't the CDC or anyone recognizing these people have immunity. They do not care to explain and as a matter of fact nobody seems to care to explain this. We should not be focused just on the number of people vaccinated. We should focus on the number of people with immunity. Which is vaccinated people plus people with natural immunity. Remember, "follow the science". Or does this quote apply? "For the left, science is not a process by which someone advances a hypothesis, conducts a rigorously controlled and carefully observed experiment to test that hypothesis, and then admits honestly whether the hypothesis lived or died. On the left, science is a thing in which you “believe” (kind of like faith), and it invariably supports one’s political beliefs.

Recipients and senders of the e-mails confirmed they were real and had copies on their own machines to provide physical evidence and to collaborate the authenticity of the e-mail on the laptop. Fact. The repair shop owner has a receipt with Hunter's genuine signature. Fact. This proves the laptop is Hunter's and the e-mails and files are genuine. 2+2=4. Fact. The FBI isn't investigating anything. Their objective is to bury the story. The FBI leadership is corrupted by politics and no longer serves the public interest. The FBI's primary mission is to identify and harass critics of the government and the political opponents of specific polices inside the government. These groups they target are generally right leaning. Because in general conservative groups want less government and see growing government power and control as a threat to freedom and liberty. Left wing groups see the government as a tool to enforce and enable their agenda and do not seek to limit the power of government. They seek increase government power and control and to gain complete control of the government to achieve their objectives.

When the economy blows up before the 2022 Congressional elections the era of "transformative change" will be over. So enjoy the show while it lasts..

Nigeria banned Twitter because they blocked tweets from their President. Trump is right about Twitter. Screw that a-hole Dorsey. Meanwhile, China currently tells Twitter, Facebook, and Google what they can and cannot do along with insisting they collaborate with the CCP to identify and apprehend any dissidents or critics of the government. Which these companies do willingly because for all their virtue signalling they could care less about human life if it gets in the way of their profits and arrangements. This is something the tweet from the twit you posted either ignores or fails to comprehend. I guess most of these clowns are on the CCP payroll somewhere. Are you okay with China telling these platforms what to do?

Wow. You really need to get some help with that Trump obsession. Like mentioning Trump somehow de-legitimizes my views. it doesn't. It has nothing to do with my view. And when you do that it tells me I'm spot on truth with my comments. So thanks for that.

And at the end of the day poor inner city kids still can't read, still can't do math, still don't have the necessary skills to participate in the broader economy. So what's the point? But through diversity programs and preferences lets put unqualified people in charge of things they have no skills to do. Better hope the neurosurgeon that is going to perform brain surgery on you was not a diversity admission to medical school. I think the overall theme at play here is if you can't make some people smarter then the next best thing is to make everyone else dumber. And then declare the ultimate goal of equality has been achieved. The movie Idiocracy comes to mind of the liberal future Utopia. The most fortunate among us will be old enough to die before all this all happens and then watch the unfolding comedy here from the after-life. The left will say don't worry. We've got this guy named Not Sure that is going to fix everything!

I get sandwiches from a local Sub shop a couple times a month and I noticed they've raised their prices again. It was a dollar more about 6 months ago and another 50 cents a couple weeks ago. Their input costs are quickly rising and they are "passing on" the cost increases to their customers. This is happening almost everywhere. The simple answer for what we're experiencing is the 40 year long cycle of dis-inflation has run its course and we're entering the initial period of an inflation cycle and more importantly inflationary expectations. This means higher "nominal" costs and supply disruptions and changes in the behavior of consumers and producers as everyone adjusts their expectations of the future. While there is debate about the amount of inflation and many economists believe its "transitory" a new cycle of higher prices appears to be starting. One lesson I've learned from life to this point is that everything is cyclical while people tend to believe everything is linear. If you know what I'm saying. I think its more circumstances than Biden's fault but the guy in charge always gets the blame and everyone always wants to identify cause and effect. And while blame will be applied its just something that can't be avoided given the circumstances. I think I've said it a dozen times already that the Democrats did Trump a favor by stepping into the drivers seat at just the right time. For a not-so-smart person Trump seems to slip out of town at just the right time, like he did with his name branded casinos in Atlantic City, along his way through life. So now the Biden administration is cast in the role of what's called in the investment world a "bagholder". The guy that buys in last, or refuses to adjust their strategy to new circumstances, and takes the big loss after the smart money leaves the market. So what can you do? If you are an investor you should look at "hard assets" and avoid companies that have a lot of "intangible" value or "goodwill" on their books. And companies that can easily pass on price increases to their customers and have little to no real competition. And in your personal life stock up on things you need that appear to be increasing in price. Start thinking about "luxury" purchases you make that you might be able to cut out of your life if things get tight with spending money. Like do you really need that $5 cup of coffee from an "up-scale" coffee shop when you can make it at home for 20 cents? I expect those discretionary spending type companies are going to take it really hard and a lot of them will close. The good news is if you've got debts you'll be able to pay them off with cheaper dollars in the future assuming you've still got an income stream to do that. We're about to feel the pain of having to pay for all that "free" stuff debt and borrowing has provided.

Even this softball interview was a disaster. Her performance in just 5 months as VP has pretty much already disqualified herself as a viable candidate for the 2024 Presidential election. As I expect President Biden to expire before his term she'll get a dry-run in the big chair but that will just reveal a higher degree of incompetence.

The big worry of governments, in this case China and the U.S., is what if the lab origin theory proves to be true? And the virus was engineered in the Wuhan lab with an assist from the US NIH. And lax safety protocols caused 3 scientists that reported COVID like symptoms and went to the hospital in November 2020 to become infected. And then the virus spread from there with the knowledge of the Chinese government and some elements inside the US government and the scientific community. And its revealed a lot of people knew this to be true but worked to suppress the story out of self-interest? So what now? Are we going to attack China? Are they going to admit guilt? Are elements inside the US government and scientific community going to be arrested, tried, and convicted of some series of crimes and locked up for 20 to 30? Is China going to pay restitution? Will they be isolated? The lab theory was suppressed and discredited because governments just don't want to deal with the undesirable consequences that will come to bear if it is proven to be true. They would rather just pass it off as some natural mutation and go on their merry way. And let it fade into memory as time passes.

We might want to get an explanation why Biden canceled the State Departments Lab origin investigation shortly after he took office. Was he directed to do this by his Chinese handlers? Why did he ignore this assessment from 2020? (requires WSJ subscription) "According to the report, US allies have been providing evidence since the beginning of the pandemic. Australia, a member of the so-called Five Eyes partnership which also includes Britain, Canada and New Zealand, has strongly promoted the lab-leak theory. And while US intelligence agencies are reportedly coming together "around the two likely scenarios," a former State Department official says the evidence to support the natural origin theory is virtually non-existent." "We were finding that despite the claims of our scientific community, including the National Institutes of Health and Dr. Fauci's NIAID organization, there was almost no evidence that supported a natural, zoonotic evolution or source of COVID-19," said former State Department official David Asher in a statement to Fox News. "The data disproportionately stacked up as we investigated that it was coming out of a lab or some supernatural source." https://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-report-concluded-covid-19-may-have-leaked-from-wuhan-lab-11623106982

Stop avoiding the question. Take a guess. What did Burisma get in return? And why didn't they former administration investigate and dig into it? Because when they tired digging into the pay offs and corruption inside the US/Ukraine relationship the Democratic controlled Congress tried to remove the President, that's why. But you're smart and you know that already. So why ask?

You continue to misrepresent what I'm saying and avoid to main points. Parents should be aware of school curriculum's and understand what their kids are being taught in the schools and be able to provide their input. And if necessary vote out school boards and fire teachers that push their own beliefs and views contrary to the way those parents want their kids to be raised. You know Democracy. The people don't exist to serve the government. The government exists to serve the people. Whether you agree or not with those last sentences is the source of a lot of contention between what people believe. And when did Critical Race Theory become history? Its a plagiarized knock-off of Marx's Communist Manifesto. Capitalism (White Supremacy) enables the Bourgeoisie (White People) to exploit and control the Proletariat (Black People) in order to enrich their class at the expense of the other class. The means of production and output of society is a result of the work of the Proletariat (Black People) to the benefit of the Bourgeoisie (White Privilege). Its a cleverly disguised con advocating Communist as a solution to the shortcomings of society. CRT fails to account for the fact there are more than 2 races. It fails to account for and explain mixed race people. It fails to account for the fact that Native Americans got a lot worse treatment, genocide, than any other group. It fails to account for disparities in how different classifications of Whites were treated. Northern Europeans, vs, Irish vs. Southern Europeans. It fails to account for the existence of Asians, Middle Easterners, Hispanics, and native Africans. Many of which have joined the ranks of the Bourgeoisie, the upper and middle classes. The theory would render such moves between classes and races impossible. It assumes a zero-sum-game of oppressor and oppressed struggling to divide the pie. It suggests that conflict among the classes, like Marxism, is the only viable solution to the distribution of power between the oppressor and the oppressed. And that cooperation and mutual benefit, the foundations of free expression and trade and relationships is not possible. It's theory that is proven to be false as a result of the application and examination of facts. But facts are inconvenient to the advocates of this nonsense. Its a road to nowhere. Its complete Horse Crap.

Let's cut to the core issue here. Why exactly was Burisma paying Hunter some $85K per month to do a "job" he had absolutely no qualifications to perform? And in return for what?

VP Harris says "do not come". Is she a racist. Based on the judgment scale applied to Trump the answer is "yes". Let's watch all the liberal outrage and demonstrations in the streets calling for her to resign in the next couple days! Yeah, right, LOL..

Schools that can't teach students basic math and language skills shouldn't be concerned with indoctrinating those students in race theories. Plain and simple. You end up with a population of dumb kids that hate each other. What's the point of it all? To spread hate?

Russia is the diversion. China is the Trojan Horse coming in the front gates. Our economy is running on fumes from decades of outsourcing and strip mining whole industries and moving them to China. We are dependent on imports for almost everything. We are running huge trade and fiscal deficits. We spend more on the military than the next 12 or 14 or so countries in terms of spending and still can't defend ourselves against cyber attacks and other incursions. Our military hasn't won a war since Desert Storm. Which incidentally interrupted the 1990 Bills-Raiders AFC Championship game broadcast about a dozen times which totally annoys me to this day.

The issue with social media platforms is they are censoring and suppressing views that don't align with their personal social or political views which contradicts their code of conduct and service agreements with their customers. And hiding behind special privileges the law grants them as "media" companies. They can block and suspend the accounts of a former President but continue to allow groups like the Taliban and Iran's Revolutionary Guard to post comments and ideas about doing harm to American service personal and other issues. So Facebook and Twitter are on board with the idea of killing American service personnel but not on board with the idea that COVID is of man made origin. I suspect their "fact checkers" don't know more about things than you or I. That's their scam. Fauci is hiding the details of the relationship of the NIH, his bag man EcoHealth, and the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The idea the virus was engineered and escaped containment by infecting researchers due to insufficient safety protocols seems the most likely based on the evidence. Now its just a matter of time before it all comes out as facts are made public. I believe he's finished and the Biden administration will soon cut him loose to avoid any complicity. Update: And evidence and personal connections continue to be revealed which points to several key players inside the Biden Administration are "compromised" by contracts and associations with the CCP and the Chinese Military. At a minimum they are national security threats. Yet the MSM continues to ignore and brush off this story of the century. Why? What financial connections and associations are they hiding? Climate change? Not sure how we got from here to there. I don't have any disagreement with climate change and the impacts. What I disagree with is the solution. The idea that we are going to electrify all applications and uses of fossil fuels primarily through the use of solar panels, batteries, and wind turbines. All without altering our living arrangements and standards of living while supporting 7+Billion humans as we go merrily into the future on some upward slope of social and technological advancement while consuming more and more energy. The entire idea is a dangerous fantasy. We don't need to hear from politicians and so-called environmental activist. We need to hear from engineers, physicists, and geologists because the resources needed to do this just don't exist on this planet. All the minerals need to be found and mined and processed. For example Lithium mining is water intensive. In places with little water, And fresh water is scarce. Does the mineral even exist in the quantifies necessary? And mining is energy intensive. I say show us the numbers that support this solution because what I see is an unachievable solution that cannot support enough seats in lifeboat-Earth for all those 7 billion people much less support growth and progress in any way. The plan of the Davos climate crowd is more for them and less of us "regular" people on the Earth.

I'll be surprised if Fauci lasts until Friday given some of the developing stories I've seen over the weekend.

I've read a couple stories that the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) over at the Pentagon takes the Lab origin story very seriously. And they've been debriefing a high-level Chinese defector with intimate knowledge of China's biological programs for about two months. The DIA has intentionally kept other US intelligence and law enforcement agencies, specifically the CIA and the FBI, in the dark and out of the loop because they believe both agencies are infiltrated by Chinese government spies. This isn't a left or right issue. This is a threat to our nation. Everyone should be concerned and demanding answers. As for main stream and social media companies I can only hazard to guess how many Chinese agents have infiltrated those businesses and what kind of cash payments and favors provided by the CCP for obedience and assistance are flowing into the pockets of various media people. This demands more investigation and inspection. Which leads me to another potential conclusion that all the Russia hysteria is a intelligence misdirection operation intended to distract everyone from the real problem, which is China. And that distraction has worked extremely well as all the useful idiots picked up and focused on it for almost 5 years. Fortunately, we still have a good number of critical thinkers in the alternative media that continues to ask the right questions which the right people continue to refuse to answer. What are they hiding?
