If we could only win the House, we could cut funding to the DOT, until they start acting like Americans. /s

“ The unique part of all of this is that the US pressed it’s own self destruct button.”
A stolen election is not really pressing a self destruct button. Doing nothing about it however, is just that.

“Bidenomics” means war on the energy sector of the United States.

The big question is do female & independent voters know there is a war going on, a war that effects their comfort and material wealth.

I have my doubts that the demographics mentioned can “clear their heads” of political correctness and “democrat thinking” and address issues other than abortion, racism, sexism, & climate change.

i’m not really referring to the election per se. the self-destruct button has been the intentional dismantling of American Greatness. If the button was never pressed, we would never have needed Trump in the first place
if you miss Trump, this might make you cry.

There are plenty of exceptions, and I hate to paint either gender with a broad brush, but I no longer question why our ancestors largely kept women out of politics for centuries if not millennia.

Likewise, I no longer question why our ancestors repressed homosexual behavior to such an extent.

Yes indeed!
The rail systems have to be cleared in time for the soon-to-come trains taking MAGA citizens to the reeducation or extermination camps...

IMHO, tickets will be going on sale within 6 months after the 2024 swindle...

“They don’t care about the environment. They do this stuff to gain political power.”

Not just power!
There is also lots of money and salaries in the green BS movement. Millions are getting Gov’t and NGO paychecks from it. Multi - millionaires hope to get richer by getting their idiot schemes funded by the Biden Administration. Hare brained schemes like carbon sequestration. And cutting down forests, then burying the trees to sequester carbon. This is what Bill Gates plans on doing.

When these little shits sit on highways to block traffic. (UK especially) They are getting paid for this and getting bailed out for free. Free lawyers too.

First you capture every institution in the country.

Then you get political power.

Then you can have all the money you want.

Republicans (and “conservatives” in other countries) try to get power in order to get money.

The Left uses money to get power.

Guess who wins ?

President Joe Biden unveiled this week a new transportation goal for his administration: to build a railway from the Pacific Ocean across the Indian Ocean.

"We have plans to build a railroad from the Pacific all the way across the Indian Ocean," Biden told a crowd at a League of Conservation Voters event on Wednesday. A railway of that duration, if it began at the Asian coast of the Pacific Ocean and ran all the way across the Indian Ocean into Africa, would be more than 5,000 miles long.

Another possible option based on Biden's wording is a train that begins in the Western United States and spans across two oceans and several nations, totaling a length of more than 10,000 miles.

He further announced a project in Angola before stopping himself halfway through the idea.

Ha.....He Lost his Train of Thought.......(no pun intended)......../snicker

I agree unless the supreme court changes the rules and in such a way that they can be enfored.

And the chances of that are not good.

Totally agree. But I'm in my 50s. When I was a kid it was something you didn't talk about. In my teens they were sort of accepted but not completely. By college they were basically accepted. In the last 30 years, we've gone from acceptance, to marriage, to adoption, to forced support, to drag queens for kids, to chemically castrating and mutilating the children - all under the same banner, literally.

What's that trend going to look like in another 20 years or so?

I can see, at that point, society collectively having enough and pushing that group back into the closet and locking the door. And that may be what our ancestors did in similar circumstances.

What's the warning - before you tear down a fence, learn why it was put up in the first place? I think maybe we found out in this case.

A few ships do use nat gas for fuel, but in strictly LNG form.

LNG has an energy density that is about 80% that of crude/diesel. That is solidly in the ballpark.

You will find some discussion of energy density suggesting natural gas is superior, but those discussions are always by weight or mass. Not by volume. The world works on volume. The weight of a gallon of gasoline is X. A gallon (volume measure) of natural gas is a tiny fraction of X weight.

But gas, boiled off gas, has a tiny fraction of the energy density of crude per unit volume. So no, that doesn’t work, but use of LNG itself for fuel is not unheard of.

Nah. When Keystone was sidelined, among the reasons was a reward to Buffet since his trains would be the rolling stock to move it.

It could have for a while, but that oil found another pipeline for transportation to the gulf, mostly for export.
