  1. The political environment or movement against fossil fuels is completely different than when Obama was elected or re-elected. Obama did try banning fracking on Federal lands but was stopped by the courts. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/23/us/politics/hydraulic-fracturing-interior-department-regulations.html https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/366704-trump-to-repeal-obama-fracking-rule Trump to repeal Obama fracking rule BY TIMOTHY CAMA - 12/28/17 02:38 PM EST
  2. Regretfully since the "pandemic" he is.
  3. A fair trading partnership with China should be pursued. A market of 1.4 billion people and a growing middle class should not be ignored. Fair is the key and its been far from that.
  4. Bravo! https://www.foxnews.com/great-outdoors/trump-administration-largest-expansion-hunting-fishing The Trump administraion has opened and expanded more than 850 hunting and fishing opportunities across 2.3 million public acres, touted as the largest historic expansion of its kind. The Interior Department announced the news on Tuesday, confirming the new recreational access at 138 national wildlife refuges and 9 national fish hatcheries, marking the “single largest” expansion of such opportunities by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in agency history. Director of the Fish and Wildlife Services Aurelia Skipwith praised the Trump administration and Bernhardt for prioritizing outdoor recreation for the public since “day one.” “Hunting and fishing are a part of our American history, and we continue to ensure we provide opportunities for these activities which epitomize our American heritage,” Skipwith said. “Furthermore, we have maintained our commitment to promoting good government by reducing the regulatory burden by working with states to facilitate these outdoor activities.” Defining an "opportunity" as one species, on one field station, in one state, the department explained that the final rule opens or expands 859 hunting and fishing opportunities. Coupled with last year's expansion of 1.4 million acres, the proposal would boost the Trump administration's total expansion of lands for new or expanded hunting and fishing opportunities to over 4 million acres across the country. Notable updates include expanded recreation at Everglades Headwaters National Wildlife Refuge in Florida, Bamforth National Wildlife Refuge in Wyoming and Jordan River National Fish Hatchery in Michigan, among others. The Fish and Wildlife Service has also released interactive maps illustrating the hunting and fishing opportunities. Outdoor enthusiasts in America generated almost $1 billion in excise taxes last year, further supporting important state conservation programs, the department said.
  5. Free healthcare, free college, free daycare, guaranteed income......it goes on and on. They may also call it "Universal" but to the youth and even older liberals its heard as free. When this propaganda is fed into the minds of the people in this country over and over again it becomes something they feel they deserve and not what is earned. "I deserve it for nothing" seems to be the prevailing mantra with too many in America. The discussions or debates on these things should be had. I'm not in disagreement that they shouldn't be had. My problem is how the left pushes them as if you should get it no matter if you are willing to be a contributing member of society or not and that propaganda from the politicians, MSM and education system is ruining our youth. Flame away.
  6. Myocarditis is not classified by the CDC as a "heart disease." The headline is using the exaggerated phrase to instill more fear. The larger concern is people actually with heart disease that are too fucking afraid to go to the doctor/clinic/hospital because of the irrational fear things like this article put in the minds of American's. Straight from the article. But myocarditis is not the only way Covid-19 can cause more people to die of heart disease. When I analyzed data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, I found that since February nearly 25,000 more Americans have died of heart disease compared with the same period in previous years. Some of these deaths could be put down to Covid-19, but the majority are likely to be because patients deferred care for their hearts. That could lead to a wave of untreated heart disease in the wake of the pandemic.Many patients are understandably apprehensive about coming back to the clinic or hospital. https://www.cdc.gov/heartdisease/index.htm What is heart disease? The term “heart disease” refers to several types of heart conditions. The most common type of heart disease in the United States is coronary artery disease (CAD), which affects the blood flow to the heart. Decreased blood flow can cause a heart attack.
  7. Make all the claims you want this will be an effective ad.
  8. Love that version of the song.
  9. One of the new programs graphic on the DNC speaker lineup was a picture from the 2012 RNC convention. I think it was NBC's.
  10. He holds on to grudges as much as McCain and Romney did. War mongers think alike i guess. I have zero issues with him not supporting Trump but supporting Biden when the man is obviously losing his mind much less going against almost every thing you have stood for in the past is a bit much all because you hate the guy that beat you.
  11. John Kasich claims Biden is a moderate and later Sanders proudly brags on how they dragged him to the left.
  12. Its been the doom and gloom show. John Kasich claims Biden is centered and later Sanders proudly brags on how they dragged him to the left.
  13. He was released from the hospital. Zero chance the guy gets any serious charges against him.
  14. People should be able to maintain support for someone other than the "leading" candidate.....doesn't mean its not still funny. But make no mistake, her popularity is not improved by towing the party line. It was made and will continue to grow by pulling it to the far left.
  15. The Trump campaign did not coordinate with the Russian's. “The Mueller report accurately and comprehensively laid out the details of Putin’s efforts to sow political divisions in America and influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential election, and it found no evidence that these efforts occurred in coordination with the president’s campaign. Just where exactly do you think the Russian's helped Trump? In today's everything internet world countries will ALWAYS try and sway other countries elections. Hell Obama was using Federal tax dollars to sway Israel's and China is currently pushing for Biden. Do you think it was right for the Obama admin to stick their noses in Israel's election? Come on MC answer the questions I pose to you. Your continual crying over Hillary losing is priceless. Until a country is physically changing votes its just the nature of world politics.
  16. Highmark replied to Snake's topic in Current Events
    You are so righteous. Of course it doesn't have anything to do with you admitting on here when you do invest you lose your ass.
  17. I honestly think MC thinks he's going to sway people into voting for Biden.
  18. Just posting what is reported and what I've watched and listened to. Occasionally, Biden has used present-tense verbs when discussing his stutter. “I find myself, when I’m tired, cuh-cuh-­catching myself, like that,” he said during a 2016 American Institute for Stuttering speech. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2020/01/joe-biden-stutter-profile/602401/ Dude just watch anything of him from some years ago. He never misses a beat. Maybe his stutter only goes away when he lies or is plagiarizing something.
  19. You honestly believe the coverage has been the same? What am I saying....of course you do.
  20. Senate Intel report finds FBI's 'unjustified' reliance on anti-Trump Steele dossier 'deeply troubling' https://www.foxnews.com/politics/senate-intel-fbi-steele-dossier-russia-investigation-report
  21. Dude his speaking problems today go far beyond a childhood stuttering problem. I've watched plenty of speeches from his almost 5 decades in public service and until recently it was not noticeable. The claim is it comes back when he's "tired." Well then maybe he shouldn't run for one of the most demanding jobs in the world if he constantly gets tired hanging out in his basement.
