Ha Ha! Governor Murphy thought he could point to his "success" with wind power in New Jersey when he makes his run for President. Now he's all mad. He belongs in prison after sending people with Covid into unprepared nursing homes but no, the stupid people of New Jersey reelected him. Sigh.
This is very good news for the whales and dolphins in New Jersey waters. The sonar and construction noise to install these wind turbines has been causing the sea life to beach themselves in excessive numbers this past summer.
It depends. If the goal was to dispense with ageing ordinance and refresh it with new defense contracts, then yes, Biden’s handling of Ukraine has been successful.
However, if you consider the unnecessary death and destruction visited upon the residents of Ukraine, then it’s been abject failure. Did the Ukrainian people ask to be part of this proxy war? Why couldn’t Russia, NATO and Ukrainian government follow Minsk agreement to resolve any disputes about territory?
Putin has already sacrificed over 100,000 young Russian men in an attempt to thwart the past and current US interference and corruption in Ukraine. Is it worth it?
What if we just let Russia supply Germany and Europe with cheap natural gas? It would have made the EU a bigger economic competitor to the US but is that worth brushing up against WWIII?
All of these machinations disgust me. It makes me question our two interventions in Iraq. And with the latest revelations of CIA/FBI gaslighting on social media, I’m even starting to wonder if I should give the 9/11 Truthers another listen.
I was a teenager in the 80’s. I missed SoD McNamara and the Vietnam era of government propaganda aimed at US citizens. Now in my 50’s I’ve become fully disgruntled. I love the USA and so do my adult children. But I’m tired of Orwellian overtones.
