  1. His resume includes quite a bit more than being a TV host, but.... The Biden Admin is the poster child of promoting unqualified candidates to positions of leadership.
  2. No, Joe Biden put in place an environment that unnecessarily forced higher prices, then begged and pleaded to get his silly, always wrong ass out of the situation. Not complicated. Nobody should ever go along with anything this man suggests, and thankfully we don't need to worry about it anymore. Wrong on energy policy forever. Wrong on military policy forever. Wrong on foreign policy forever, especially re Israel and the disgraceful escape from Afghanistan. Just a goof.
  3. This is a fine example of the stupidity that gets in here. If you don't understand what Biden did on his first few days to effect that industry, from drilling, removal of land, refining, transportation and delivery, don't comment. The fact that energy companies has profited is because the price of the commodity they produce became far more expensive because of what he enacted. Get that? He created the environment. ""No more drilling, period." Who said that, before begging the Saudis, and by rumor the Venezuelan suppliers, to bail him out when polls indicated we weren't happy about his nonsense, evidenced by fuel prices?
  4. Are you completely delusional? Four years ago, plus or minus a week, he took office and used the power of the presidency to wage war on the domestic fossil fuel industry, only to beg the Saudis a couple years later to not cut production, or at least not do so until after the mid terms. Same time, he set in place the border invasion, which ultimately cost his party the election, and the results of which we are not going to truly see for years. The man has been a moron for decades. Four years ago is but a point on a horrible performance career. The well known fact that he is totally incapacitated now, for the office he holds, does not excuse his career. Liar, plagiarist, sellout.
  5. Where did I claim that I "hated" anybody. Simply preposterous. What I do claim is that having spent about 12 days per month in South/Central America for ten years, I saw this industry develop and am not naive about it. It is an industry. What happens when this continues to go on, and exponentially expands, as it has under this Administration, is that you remove any motivation to fix the govs that these people escape from. It never ends becasue it never has to. What you permit, you promote.
  6. Among many, many others. All illegal.
  7. They have drain things for that, and you recycle it for free.
  8. Anything wrong with that?
  9. That is is just about exactly what they tried to do in the FAA, until the Senate hearings, wherein the candidate was so clueless that he lost even Dem support and withdrew his name.
  10. Please. Interest rates advance for a few reasons: 1. Decreased confidence in the currency. 2. Depreciation of the currency, usually based on bad economic policy or simply printing more. (Recognize that?) Also called inflation. 3. A market determination that the economy is going to advance, creating more demand for money. Some reasons are bad, 1 and 2, and some reasons are good-3. If someone feels strongly about one thing or another, you can make a fortune betting on your view, so do it.
  11. That Iranian general was preparing a plan to kill scores of US servicemen.
  12. Re the tunnel/southern invasion, for the past three years and 51 weeks we haven't done nearly enough to send a message that this is not acceptable. We have vast capability at our disposal to send a message that tunneling is a very bad idea, and other means to detect them before they are operational. Regarding the Red Sea/Houthi problem, start by allowing the carrier task force which has been serving as a dart board under this admin to do what the task force commander requested, and was denied by the national command authority. This crap they are launching comes from Iran. It is stored somewhere, briefly, in Yemen before it is deployed. Those actions are directed by someone. Interdict the supply from Iran. Demolish any storage sites. Immediately destroy the launch facilities. Reach out to those who are directing it and end their existence. In short, quit fuching around with these punks.
  13. What is te first sentence of my post that your quoted. Here, I'll repeat it for you: "and I'm not recommending an invasion into another country." We don't need to enter Mexico to interdict these tunnels, and by virtue of the fact they end on the US side of the border, they are our property. We simply block them up on our end, which isn't very hard to do at all. First you find them, which have have complete capability to do, then you end the drug, illegals and human trafficking that is going on as the result. The problem is that we haven't demonstrated the will to commit resources to do it. It's the same idiocy of defending against drones and missiles in the Red Sea by shooting 1.2 to 2.5 million dollar missiles at them. We are fighting the arrows instead of the archer, and it's time to take a sensible approach.
  14. I get your point, and I'm not recommending an invasion into another country. What I am pointing out is that when your country is threatened, and you have the capability to eliminate the threat, it is not only wise, but a gov responsibility to do so. We have not demonstrated we take this drug, illegal immigrant, trafficking thing seriously at all, and we need to do so. We have the skill and resources to eliminate all of these tunnels. We have simply chosen to focus on other things, like flying illegals all over the country. Very bad gov policy. Pure negligence.
  15. Good news on discovering the tunnel into our territory. Meanwhile the Israelis launched a 150+ man mission deep into Syria that involved three low flying helos, a bunch of fighter cover and deceptive strikes, and destroyed a long range missile production facility hundreds of feet underground. Facility destroyed. Everybody out safely on the Israeli side. Incredibly complicated. We celebrate finding a hole into our own land. The difference? Desire, commitment and leadership.
  16. I simply can't believe this action, or how decrepit this administration has become. This man destroyed currencies, demolishing people's purchasing power in order to make a personal fortune. After a few successes, the Thai baht comes to mind, he was going after the Mexican peso when the US Fed intervened. Just a horrible human. A disgraceful, money motivated award. It can't get worse.
  17. Solar and wind farms are extremely real estate thirsty. NASA figured out this problem years ago, and solid oxide fuel cells at the need site made far more sense and require no grid. They are getting quite close to being comparable to grid electrical costs, and much, much cleaner.
  18. Bud Lite 'em.
  19. We had ours for twelve years. Had to replace the control board once, at about the ten year mark. Never had any other problem. Wouldn't change for any other option.
  20. What I view on this is meaningless. What is germane is that you stated that Carter used superior moral judgement by not allowing his faith to oppose abortion, though he opposed it personally. If you view human life as existing in utero, there can be no justification. If you don't, you don't. Can't have it both ways.
  21. None. Not sure your point. Raised three through college. How many did Jimmy adopt? Horrible president. Just horrible.
  22. If this is true, and I'm not going through a paywall to see, this is a serious violation.
