Thanks for the map!

We should be selling off gas and oil from federal lands just to balance the budget and pay off our $17 trillion national debt. Deliberately expensive energy is based on the precautionary principle, a principle not used anywhere else by the left as far as I can tell, in this case basing it on a relatively minor increase of the trace gas carbon dioxide from 350 to 400 parts per million(by volume) for the unproven hypotheses first called manmade global warming, then manmade climate change and going now as the cause of extreme weather events.

The left doesn't want to debate their science fiction; they just want to make ad hominems, e.g. calling sceptics flat earthers.

IMHO, we should dump our fiat currency, and return to a hard currency, in this case based on energy content, not gold. Fiat currencies hide inflation, the invisible tax.

BTTT!

When is the stupid party going to get get a clue? Find their clubs in high school and continue in college: Why do you support the party of reverse discrimination against your own interests? We can start there, but we need tailored messages for latinos and blacks too. There's a reason that the rats use divide and conquer. It works!

We have so many comments from pessimists on this thread! It’s depressing.

The author provides no evidence whatsoever that this is likely.

True, but conventional wisdom has led too often to being surprised about how conventional wisdom failed our intelligence agencies, e.g. Pearl Harbor, Korea in 1950, Chicoms crossing the Yalu, the Tet Offensive in 1968, the collapse of the USSR, Saddam taking Kuwait, 911, etc. We have a surfeit of adversaries. Russia, the Chicoms, Iran and North Korea have all been acting froggy lately. I wouldn't like being surprise again, especially with insufficient forces of our own.

Thanks for the link.

Since 9/11, the United States has fought two low-intensity conflicts.

And for what? To prove that we are a paper tiger once again, thanks to the rats. The rats are almost three for three since Vietnam. They can't wait to walk away from Afghanistan. I'm sorry to say we have a more serious domestic enemy here at home.

Thanks for the link!

Thanks Mr. Lott.

When you come across the emotional boob who says: "But if we can save only one life..."

Ask them: "What if the effect is jut the opposite? What if an innocent person is denied their right to self defense and winds up dead"?

5 California Children Infected by Polio-Like Illness

During the last decade, outbreaks of polio-like symptoms have been reported in children in Asia and Australia, and these infections have been associated with newly identified strains of enterovirus.

You wrote in comment# 6: Yet the NRA continues to support Bitch McConnell, who's limp noodle, linguini-spined "leadership" made it possible for Hemorrhoid Reid to railroad through the death of the filibuster (and Obamacare, and so on). Yes, that's the same Hemorrhoid Reid who was lionized as a stalwart supporter of the 2nd Amendment by the NRA a few years back.

The NRA, played like a Stradivarius by the same Commie who is in charge of appointing a rabidly anti-gun Surgeon General. The NRA, which lauds the wimp who lets the enemies of the 2nd Amendment walk all over him, his party, and our rights. KMA, NRA.

In comment# 14, You alternately quoted me and replied: "Show me both where the NRA helped Obama or McConnell voted against the Second Amendmet." Show me where I said either of those.

That was the gist of what I got from your comments.

And McConnell and the Pubbies just stood aside and let them do it, without so much as a whimper. Great leadership, I tell you. Linguini-spined birds of a feather flock together.

What could they do that would be effective that wouldn't also remind everyone that they failed to change the rules when the GOP had the majority and got The Gang of 14 fiasco instead. The rats fooled the GOP once again. What's new? It's time to primary the RINOs and the dead wood, IMHO. Starting a new party is a gift to the rats.

I guess that's why one of the admin moderators downgraded the post to chat.

Maybe they thought this promoted AGW, or accepted AGW by reducing carbon emissions?

Cheap energy costs is smart economics. At a time when the conservatives and the GOP is attacked as being antiscience we ought to know that fuel cells waste a lot less energy as heat, i.e. they are more effeicient, than internal combustion engines, so they reduce your fuel bills.

Parden the Wikipedia reference, but they are usually OK if the topic hasn't been politcized.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, fuel cells are generally between 40–60% energy efficient.[49] This is higher than some other systems for energy generation. For example, the typical internal combustion engine of a car is about 25% energy efficient.[50] In combined heat and power (CHP) systems, the heat produced by the fuel cell is captured and put to use, increasing the efficiency of the system to up to 85–90%.[33]

Show me both where the NRA helped Obama or McConnell voted against the Second Amendmet. The rat majority in the Senate voted to change the Senate's rules on filibuster.
