It's just my opinion but I believe Obama has the money, power and connections to act on his fantasies. He's scum.
What DeSantis says is completely irrelevant. That’s just how he’s trying to get elected: He is presenting himself as a conservative.You don't need to consider what he says - you can research his actions while in office - and during his time in military service.
...unalienable Rights, that among these are Life...Life requires food, water, clothing and shelter so that means government should provide them.
ALL companies that do this DEI/ESG shit need to be investigated for failing their fiduciary duty. It’s more than culture war when companies put woke garbage above making a profit for their investors when our retirement portfolios and pensions are involved.There was an article on DEI in today's WSJ. Looks like it is being scaled back rather than spreading further:
I agree they should sell the stock but it’s hard to move on when this crap is spreading like cancer to all corporations.
U.S. crude oil production is on track to set a record this year, up 9% Y/Y through April, helping to keep energy prices stable and blunt the efforts of Saudi Arabia and other oil exporters to drive them higher.
The Energy Information Administration has forecast total U.S. output will hit 12.61M bbl/day in 2023, topping 2019's record of 12.32M bbl/day and easily beating last year's 11.89M bbl/day.

Companies' efforts to improve efficiency have provided more ability to remain profitable even when oil prices are falling, and improvements since 2014 have cut the cost of drilling and fracking in the U.S. shale by 36%, according to J.P. Morgan.
The increased efficiency means EOG, for example, can earn as much from oil priced at $42/bbl today as it would have from $86/bbl oil in 2014; meanwhile, the budget of Saudi Arabia's government reportedly requires ~$81/bbl oil.
U.S. producers are continuing to seek ways to improve efficiency; Exxon Mobil (XOM) CEO Darren Woods has said the industry still recovers only ~10% of the oil it theoretically could from the Permian Basin.
More C02 in the air simply means more plant growth that turn it back into oxygen.A study published around 2016 found that more CO2 was greening the planet (other studies have noted that desert areas are shrinking - including the Sahara - projected precipitation changes are adding to the possibility that the Sahara desert may bloom again. The opposite of an apocalyptic result.)
From a quarter to half of Earth’s vegetated lands has shown significant greening over the last 35 years largely due to rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide, according to a new study published in the journal Nature Climate Change on April 25.
An international team of 32 authors from 24 institutions in eight countries led the effort, which involved using satellite data from NASA’s Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer instruments to help determine the leaf area index, or amount of leaf cover, over the planet’s vegetated regions. The greening represents an increase in leaves on plants and trees equivalent in area to two times the continental United States.
Thanks Cliff. Maybe you should title these "Cliff's notes".
So you're justifying tyranny by making comparisons to what former US presidents have done, while history acknowledges those former presidents abused their power.
Final question, which one of your kids or grandkids do you plan on sending in to Ukraine to give his or her life for Zelensky? Or do you expect other Americans to make that sacrifice so you can feel good?Straw man argument, much? Show me anywhere where Ukraine has asked any foreign government to commit their forces. I'm not going to argue with fantasies you dream up in your head as if they are forgone conclusions. I sense you are going slightly insane. 2% of the military budget and you argue that means U.S. troops are going to on the ground fighting Russia.
At what cost?
Russia has lost 50,000 soldiers in the 500+ days of this war. We lost 58,000 soldiers during the entire Vietnam war.
And we were pissed we were in a proxy war with Russia during Vietnam. I can see us creating quite an enemy with a nuclear power over a corrupt country like Ukraine.
How many billions of our tax dollars should go to the Ukrainian money laundering scheme?
I can move it, remove it, or lock it, if I started the thread. I never noticed those buttons before! Maybe because I don’t start a lot of threads.
nope - not everyone.
of course Man has an influence.
He pled guilty to a pair of tax-related misdemeanors. The felony gun charge was subject to a pretrial diversion, whatever that actually means. I think what it means is he won't be charged with a felony weapons count, but what he still has to do to avoid said charge isn't all that clear.
The sad thing is a lot of poor people plead guilty for stuff they didn't do just to avoid the timed money needed to deal with courts.
I fucked up and hit the wrong tab and thought I deleted it. All my fault. I was trying to quote you Joe. Lol.
