This is one of the few worries that keeps me up at night. I wonder if Murkowsky will block this effort like she did the last one?

I’ve been waiting for a president or governor to promote this goal ever since 9/11.

Trump just keeps addressing new things. He isn’t just a “get elected and coast” type of guy.

Trump is also Making the Presidency Great Again.

This is a much more real and immediate threat to our national security than globull climate change. President Trump has the priorities right.

I don’t claim to be an expert, but my understanding is that EMPs are like lightening strikes - if you can give the current an easy path to ground, the current will not do much damage. If you trap the huge, induced, currents, on the grid, they will force their way to ground, destroying whatever is in their way - pretty much crippling the country and killing off 90% of our population, based on published studies.

It’s really no different than grounding appliances in your house. If lightening hits, and the current has an easy way to ground (i.e., the earth around your house), the current will avoid the insanely expensive ‘controller cards’ that are now required for your ‘modern’ washing machine to work. But if you don’t provide the easy path to ground, the current will still find it’s way to ground, but that ‘controller card’ of your ‘modern’ washing machine will be toasted as the current now passes through it.

She and Fred Upton (Uncle of Kate upton) seemed to do everything in their power to prevent bolstering the grid.

Maybe "oil drilling leases" == "agreement on EMP"?

Two of the chief advocates, William R. Graham and Peter Vincent Pry

These two slimeballs are deep state swamp dwelling bottom feeders.

EMP is a serious subject that deserves the best technical minds looking at problems and solutions, not scaremongering to line your own pocket from consulting contracts.

Good! The Trump Administration is...should I say it? Amazing!

Haha! Amazing.

I feel like a parrot now.

I suppose if blocking it causes more women to have abortions after SHTF, then she will block it.
