There’s markets all over. Myself, I can go work anywhere, I have the skillsets, I am concerned for other Albertans who may not have the same opportunities. Our government here are a bunch of morons, dangerous ones working with the globalists.

“When is McConnell going to go nuclear and get all these judges approved?”

Good news. He filed for cloture on the motion Thursday, which brings it up this coming week.

From this article:

“it’s widely expected that no compromise will be reached with Democrats and the GOP will move ahead anyway, using the “nuclear option” to effectively change the rules of the chamber with just a simple majority vote.

The resolution, as reported out of the committee, would establish a standing order reducing the debate time to up to two hours after cloture has been invoked on nominees to be district judges, as well as most executive branch posts below Cabinet level. The post-cloture debate time is up to 30 hours under current rules.

There will first be a vote next week under the regular process, but that supermajority vote is expected to fall short.”

In our area (mid-south) gas is up 50 cents in the last few months. I know oil is up a little - not sure if it accounts for the entire rise. Maybe some in-the-know FReeper can comment?

I also saw that IL is proposing to hike their gas tax by 19 cents per gallon, as well as increasing registration (plate) fees, and tax plastic bags. People, especially those with money, are already leaving IL in droves...

The Lib / Socialist goal seems to be total control of nothing left worth controlling. (I think I’ll make that my new tagline!)

Oil prices are up in 30% in 1Q19, best quarter in a decade.

Partner, Mitch McConJob will get off his duff and surprise us all, since he needs to win reelection come 2020 or he will be toast.

It seems like you have mentioned that the DemonRat party is slow rolling on all nominees in the Senate and the DemonRat party will pay dearly for that slow rolling motion in the Senate.
