    I’m looking forward to seeing Trump, the biggest political loser since the `1800’s announce he’s running for President tonight. What a gift to the Dems he is. That will about do it for the so called Grand Old Party because he’ll crash the Party when he loses again. He is indeed the gift that keeps on giving.

    Well – Ben has really let us have it!
    Boy, are my hands smarting!
    Obama is the champion of the NRA and big oil and big coal!
    Eric Holder is the saintliest man to stride the planet!
    Ya know – I think I was there and I sure don’t remember it that way, but if Ben wants to believe all this, I can’t stop him.
    Most amusing:
    “Do you guys ever wonder why an unprecedented leak out of SCOTUS happened? Why after 50 years of stare decisis did SCOTUS reverse Roe v Wade?”
    No Ben – none of us conservatives “wondered” why some weasel lefty went against the rules and leaked the probable overturning of Roe V Wade.
    It was overturned because it was a bad decision in the first place. That was, BTW, the opinion of none other than the heroine of the left – The Notorious RBG. Was it wrong for SCOTUS to rule against slavery – which had been accepted as legal for far longer than 50 years?
    Ya know, Ben – we appreciate your input on this blog, but cherry picking out a few facts here and there and claiming that represents the big picture is actually pretty pathetic.
    Ben claims that “we” conservatives on this blog have committed the sin of:
    “One “principled” issue has massive conflicts with another “principled” issue but it “wins” the day and we’ll deal with the fallout later.”
    It would be super helpful if you would point out when that happens at the time you spot these supposed slips of hypocritical activities as it would give way more credence to your argument.

    But here’s inconvenient fact 3: Batteries are lousy at storing large amounts of energy.”
    And the car manufacturers knew that in, oh, about 1910, when gasoline took over from electric & steam. The politicians are still trying to figure it out.

    This means WAR! ….and Donald Trump was responsible for some Iranian kid shooting an Urkranian airliner out of the sky…and a musing.
    ‘Zelensky Almost Plunged Us All Into World War III — Again. Enough Already.’
    “On Tuesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky sounded the alarm and called upon NATO allies to finally, directly, enter the war after an alleged Russian missile hit a Polish town, killing two people and causing destruction.
    It turns out that Zelensky — who has bilked billions of dollars from the West, especially the U.S. — was wrong in his assessment. Authorities now say that it looks likely that it wasn’t a Russian weapon at all, but a Ukrainian one fired in self-defense that accidentally landed over the border. Regardless, Zelensky was quick to jump the gun and conclude that it was indeed Russia.”

    So the SFPD says in their official report that Paul Pelosi opened the door and is backed up by the black lefty DA. The feds claim in court filings that the police opened the door.
    Ya know – they didn’t know who lived there in that multi-million dollar mansion and just walked up and opened the door at 2:30 in the morning.
    And watched Paul get bonked on the head.

    Why can’t we see the police cam vids? What kind of security does the number 3 person in the US govt have in her home? Non-existent?

But absent a shift in state and federal energy policy, this is a reality we will face for years to come.”
    The central US grid managed by the Midcontinent Independent System Operator has tight power supplies after a large number of generators shut last winter and its Gulf Coast plants haven’t done enough to protect against cold weather, NERC said. New England’s perennially constrained gas supplies are even more strained this year because Europe is scrambling for every molecule of the fuel to keep warm.
