And you can always count on Al Jazeera to report on anything related to Israel completely truthfully.

I had former co-workers disown me (block emails, etc.) when I tried to explain to them that the J6 protest was not a "coup" and not "insurrection", and that it had a few yahoos who deserved to be arrested, but everyone else was just caught up with the crowd. And, that there were Feds involved, along with the Capital police letting people into the Capital. This was not long after the event, and now we know even more! I guess I'll be waiting a long time for their apologies :)

maybe it was cheaper to keep the equipment going than to shut it completely down for the night

I read YEARS ago (maybe decades?) that it takes more energy to make a gallon of ethanol than it produces. So use of ethanol actually INCREASES the amount of "green house gases" associated with driving cars! It's a classic case of crooked industry people getting Congress to pass laws so they can get even richer! I can't believe this is never talked about by anyone on either side of the "green energy" issue.

The ethanol industry is what I consider to be the worst crony capitalism example in our country. What really makes me mad is that the so-called "conservative" Republicans from the big ethanol states continue to support it. The problem with politicians is that they aren't driven by principle but by personal wealth and campaign financing.

Greed and corruption are two of the reasons that no system of government can ever be perfect, but our (U.S.) system of government provides the best way to prevent the eventual tyrannical rule that other forms of government devolve to. The leftists seem to ignore human nature in their pursuit of socialism. It is human nature that will ALWAYS lead to the problems we are seeing in our country.

It is pretty hard to believe that back when there were just 3 TV stations, and maybe PBS?, they went off at midnight, with the star spangled banner playing. And then that focus graphic would appear. They kept on broadcasting that. I always wondered why they spent all that money to broadcast a focus graphic :)

I just saw the report that Biden is planning to invoke another "executive order" to fight climate change! With these unconstitutional actions of Biden, it takes months to years before the Supreme Court can overrule them!

Spread this meme far and wide!

If it's an 8-hr drive or less, and the trip is more than a week, then I'll drive, but if it's a long-distance, then driving isn't usually an option, unless it is for a multi-week trip.

What is odd, it only has 3 views! I wonder if I am still shadow-banned on twitter, because I never see what I post, and never have ANY comments on anything I post, and I know that at least one enraged leftist would have replied on many past posts :)

I posted it as a comment to Biden's twitter post about "Earth Day"? (can't remember what the exact post was, but it had some BS about climate change :) ), and was one of the first 100! I've never been able to post to one of the mega-twitter users before several thousand had already commented.

The flag waving must have been forced upon them, because even Democrats can't be that stupid, right?

Thank you. Now to post to my FB feed, and in the comments to various twitter posts :)

Just saw a "news" item about how the governor of NY is fighting climate change. It is so maddening to know the truth and watch how lies are being used. I have no problem with planning for changes that happen over the decades, but this ridiculous notion that humans can "fight" something that is natural is infuriating!

They can easily delay the effects of all this mounting debt past the election, and even past next year.

It figures that Molinaro (NY) isn't on that list. Back when he was Dutchess County Executive, he buddied up to the Black Lives Matter people, despite being a "Republican", and running as a "conservative".

That's only $281,000 per homeless person. (46,260 homeless people in LA according to the Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count of 2023) Clearly they need more :)

How is it illegal to ask about citizenship, since I believe it is illegal to hire a non-U.S. citizen unless they have a legal work visa, green card (is that the same?), or other LEGAL reason to be in the U.S.

The question is, are they stupid enough to do this on their own? Or, were they made to do it to SHOW they are traitors?

So that would mean the theory that Michelle is a man is totally bogus? One, or perhaps both theories, are now questionable. Perhaps many of the wild theories out there are just distractions from the ultimate truth; that there are evil people behind the scenes controlling what happens in the world, and it doesn't matter how depraved the people doing the footwork for them are, they continue to exert their control.

That kind of post does nothing to help anyone! And any black-Americans who come here are going to just come away with a reason to think conservatives are just a bunch of racists!

So to send a joke text that states, "The bomb is planted, and will go off as scheduled at 8pm" is not a good idea? :)

I got by with a tracphone for a few years, at about $7/month. Just used for very rare calls since the home phone was main one used, but then tracphone raised their rate way up, so for less than what they cost a month, I was able to get put on my wife's plan, and have a decent phone.

The main point of the post was that for just a portion of all the money that has been sent to just Ukraine, the ENTIRE border wall could have likely been built, even with the inflated per mile cost.
