The Texas freeze (hit -2 at my house) and power loss was also a problem due to environmental improvement. The gas transportation system in the past used natural gas powered pumps to move gas. Well, we couldn't have that because gas is a fossil fuel and therefore evil. Electric pumps would be environmentally friendly so the gas pumps are replaced. When the electric grid froze up, the gas power plants went offline. Genius.

"State of Fear" written by Michael Crichton sums up the environmental doomsday screeching quite well, keep people scared by preaching doom and gloom so that those preaching gain power and/or wealth. Despite the 3 or 4 dozen grim predictions since the 1970s of global warming, global cooling, mass starvation, overpopulation, extinction of animal species, seas rising, acid rain, melting polar ice caps, ozone depletion, etc., humans are still here doing better than ever and the planet continues to spin through space. But 100% failure doesn't deter these people. I might admire that determination if they weren't so annoying.

50 years of bad doomsday climate predictions and the planet remains undefeated in proving those predictions wrong. Throwing an enthusiastic but completely wrong 15 year old into the loss column continues the Earth's perfect record.

I'm all for capitalism. Its the worst form of good and services management except for all the others Still, sometime you have to see it to appreciate it. Spent a week in St. Thomas enjoying my ill gotten lifestyle due to my Christian male white privilege and was headed out on a sailing charter to do some snorkeling. Also parked at the pier was the Yacht Infinity. Break out the Google and this $300 million boat is owned by Eric Smidt, former Google guy. And this isn't his only boat the picture. See the boat behind the yacht? That's the $40 million toy hauler. It's got speed boats, jet skis, helicopter, etc. and a crane on the deck and follows the yacht around to supply entertainment. And yes, I still had a great time snorkeling despite rough sailing conditions and a rather large whiskey front blowing through the night before. Google people give most of their political money to democrats. Don't think Eric is going to go along with wealth equalizing as long as he can buy influence. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/ex-google-chief-built-oligarch-style-empire-influence-ai-biden-white-house-public-policy-report

At least Senile Joe is now saying "God save the queen" despite the fact we separated from the Brits over 200 years ago plus she's dead. So, we've got that going for us.

Like I said before, leftists and liberals don't care if everything burns down to the ground as long as they get to rule over the ashes. Everything is wonderful, nothing to see here, pay no attention to businesses shutting down. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2023/06/14/progressive-decay-another-ominous-sign-for-san-francisco-n2624441

I'd vote for Nashville over a stumbling, babbling elderly gentleman suffering from dementia. Getting them all on Air Force 1 should be entertaining.

Is a 5 liter stein just one drink?..., asking for a friend.

Nashville is not a urban cesspool with a large crime problem because the sanity of the surrounding Republican/conservative population won't let it. Where leftists and liberal idiots have been allowed free rein in deep blue states, chaos and misery has embedded into the cities. 500,000 people have bailed out of California, IIRC. Google population decline in blue states for better numbers. Claiming to be blind to facts or making false comparisons certainly won't improve the life of anyone too poor to run away from those bad policies. But hey, keep voting for those policies, I'm sure something different will eventually result.

Prior to the recall of Newsome, something like 60% of voters didn't like the direction the state of California was going. However, when pulling the lever to vote, Newsome wins by 20 points. The level of disaster doesn't matter to these people because they think "I'm a good person, Republicans are bad, and conservatives are Nazis so I'm voting democrat no matter what." These people will let their city, state, and/or country burn to the ground as long as they get to rule over the ashes. We are watching this happen in real time in the cities you mentioned.

Children aren't allowed to drive until 14, get a driver's license at 16, vote or buy a gun until 18, and drink until they are 21 years old. Why? Because society does not believe that children have the mental capacity to make correct choices regarding those subjects. But somehow, when it comes to permanent devastating life altering surgical or hormonal choices, children including pre-teens are deemed by the left to be more than competent to make those decisions. The leftist fascination with co-opting children is downright evil. Whatever another adult wants to do to float their boat is fine by me just don't ask me to to play along with any sort of delusion or celebrate whatever choice that adult may make but leave children alone.

Formation touch and goes in the Talon, 100 foot low level in the Hawg......AND getting my own ATIS....I'm lucky to have survived.

Are you telling me Mountain Dew and Brawndo are the same thing because they both have electrolytes?

Isn’t he in the pocket of Brawndo “The Thirst Mutilator?”

I thought that callsign was taken. Maybe Jester Junk or Bozos Balls?

130,000 federal employees make more than the highest paid governor in the U.S. They don’t like being called swamp dwellers and will do whatever it takes to defend their swampy turf and paycheck because they know other swamp dwellers will not hold them accountable.

A male that has gone through puberty is taller, has greater muscle mass, larger lungs and heart, and skeletal construction that enhances mechanical advantage. Decreasing testosterone removes exactly none of that after puberty. The U.S. National Womens Soccer team played warm up games against U15 boys AND LOST. There is a difference and ignoring the science of biology does not change that.

I flew that Patriot battalion home from Kuwait City Itnl on a CRAF flight and Battalion Exec was on the Jumpseat explaining what happened. I’m not sure what was/wasn’t classified but it involved a lot more than IFF and both were avoidable.

Wrong!! It’s Tex-Mex and it’s better! Don’t make me track you down and give you a brisket burrito to prove the error of your misguided ways!

Another senseless boosting tragedy. When will it end?

The irony of putting Harris in charge of anything related to intelligence.

The really sad part is how language and definitions are getting warped or changed so I'm trying to wrap my brain around and decipher that language so my brain accepted"people protestors" and moved on without a second thought.

"The Cold War: What We Saw" narrated by Bill Whittle is excellent. He also did "Apollo: What We Saw" about the space race. Also excellent. You might be able to find them outside the Daily wire.

This is the same guy that said Hunter is the smartest person he knows which should really worry the rest of the freedom loving planet.

Nothing like trusting your career and life to an organization with demonstrated incompetence. "You have to stay because we were stupid before but we are smarter now, so sorry."
