It may have taken nine weeks, but we are finally back to “normal”

Gas is up $1, we are bombing the Middle East again and thousands of jobs are lost.

Our borders are open to Covid-19 illegal’s, toy potato heads are offensive, Dr. Seuss has been banned, Coca Cola needs employees to be less white and taxpayers are paying for foreign abortions.

The military is paying for sex changes and LGBT’s are being promoted to generals.

Thank God we are finally rid of the guy who wrote mean tweets and who dared to put America and Americans first!

RENEWABLE ENERGY
Renewable energy is great - as long as it exists as an additional resource and not as a replacement to fossil fuels. Texas demonstrates why. Renewable energy is not reliable. That said, Texas made other mistakes in failing to protect their fossil fuel energies from extreme conditions. In the end, no matter how you shake it, we're not realistically in a position to switch over to renewable energy, just to make some people feel good about the planet. Instead, we should leave renewables to the private sector to dabble with and allow invention to unfold, as it becomes available. Meanwhile, we need to get back to providing everyone with the currently available, abundant, fossil fuels, while continuing the great work of making that energy cleaner, cheaper and safer and reliable.

NOBODY CAN BULLSH*T A WELL INFORMED CITIZEN...

The Keystone Pipeline upon completion would carry more than 800,000 barrels or 33.6 million gallons of oil through the pipeline per day. With no harmful emissions.
A Barrel of Oil is 42 gallons (not to be confused with a 55 gallon Drum). Because a gallon of oil weighs about 7.8 pounds per gallon - most tractor trailer trucks can only carry about 130 barrels of oil at a time - without violating our department of transportation limits of 80,000 lbs. on our roadways. The 80,000 limit includes the truck and the cargo weight TOTAL. (An EMPTY tractor trailer averages about 35,000 pounds in weight.)
It would take 6,154 more trucks going just from Canada to the Gulf Coast for that same oil - EVERY SINGLE DAY - seven days a week !!! Now a rail car holds approx. 30,000 gallons or 700 barrels. It would take trains pulling 1,143 more rail cars per day - EVERY DAY - just to pull the oil equal to that pipeline from Canada to the Gulf Coast. TRAINS and TRUCKS ??? BURNING MORE DIESEL FUEL AND CREATING MORE AND MORE EMISSIONS !!!! All that would be eliminated by the Keystone Pipeline.
THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ENVIRONMENT. SOME POLITICIANS ARE GETTING PAID OFF / BRIBES / ETC. !!!!

70 Days

So, Russia is massing troops on the border with Ukraine. Ukraine is threatening to take Crimea back by force.

China is threatening Taiwan and its neighbors while also threatening our ships and Navy.

N Korea is testing missiles again and restarting their nuclear weapons program.

Iran has been emboldened and making more than their normal threats.

Our southern border is a humanitarian disaster caused directly by this administration, and the administration that promised transparency is hiding it and not letting the media have access.

Ford is closing a plant and moving it to Mexico after just bringing it back from Mexico because of the current Administration’s plan for Increased taxes.

Price of steel up 145%, lumber 126%, wheat up 25%, food index up 25%, cotton 35%, silver 38%, copper 50%, soybeans 71%, oil 80%, etc.

Pipeline jobs lost.

Wall construction jobs lost.

1.9 trillion in stimulus that funds the administrations pet projects and only paid a fraction to the people.

29 trillion in debt with 4.8 trillion projected 2021 deficit before the 2 trillion dollar stimulus proposed today for the new green deal.

6+% unemployment with millions of job openings that can’t be filled because federal unemployment assistance makes it more advantageous for people to stay home than work.

All in the first 70 days.

Oh, Yeah - Then there is the immigration czar the refuses to visit the scene of the crime.

'Lemon Pickers Needed”, read the ad in the newspaper.

Ms. Sally Mulligan of Coral Springs, Florida, read it, and decided to
apply for one of the jobs that most Americans are not willing to do.
She submitted her application for a job in a Florida lemon grove, but
seemed far too qualified for the job. She has a liberal arts degree
from the University of Michigan, and a master’s degree from Michigan
State University. For a number of years, she had worked as a social
worker, and also as a school teacher.

The foreman studied her application, frowned, and said, 'I see that
you are well educated, and have an impressive resume. “However, I have
to ask you, have you had any actual experience in picking lemons?”

'Well, as a matter of fact, I have,' she said. 'I've been divorced
three times, owned two Chryslers, voted twice for Obama, once for
Hillary and most recently for Biden.”

She started work yesterday.

This rather brilliantly cuts through all the political double-
speak we get. It puts it into a much better perspective…..
LESSON # 1:
•U.S. Tax revenue: $2,170,000,000,000
•Federal Budget: $3,820, 000,000,000
•New Debt: $1,650, 000,000,000
•National Debt: $29,271, 000,000,000
•Recent Budget Cuts: $38,500, 000,000
Let’s now remove ‘’8 zeros’’ each time, and pretend it’s a
household budget:
•Annual family income: $21,700
•Money the family spent: $38,200
•New debt on the credit card: $16,500
•Outstanding balance on the credit card: $292,710
•Total Budget Cuts so far: $385
Got It ??? OK now…
LESSON # 2:
Here’s another way to look at the debt ceiling:
Let’s say, You come home from work and find there has
been a sewer backup in your neighborhood…. and your
home has sewage all the way up to your ceilings.
What do you think you should do ….. Raise the ceilings,
or pump out the crap?

YOUR CHOICE IS COMING NOVEMBER 2022.

THIS IS A TOTALLY REALISTIC SITUATION. SUGGESTIONS ANYONE? ANYONE…..? HELLO………

Imagine Florida with a hurricane coming toward Miami. The Governor orders an evacuation. All cars head north. They all need to be charged in Jacksonville. How does that work? Has anyone thought about this? If all cars were electric, and were caught up in a three-hour traffic jam with dead batteries, then what? Not to mention that there is virtually no heating or air conditioning in an electric vehicle because of high battery consumption.

If you get stuck on the road all night, no battery, no heating, no windshield wipers, no radio, no GPS (all these drain the batteries), all you can do is try calling 911 to take women and children to safety. But they cannot come to help you because all roads are blocked, and they will probably require all police cars will be electric also. When the roads become unblocked no one can move! Their batteries are dead.

How do you charge the thousands of cars in the traffic jam? Same problem during summer vacation departures with miles of traffic jams. There would be virtually no air conditioning in an electric vehicle. It would drain the batteries quickly. Where is this electricity going to come from? Today's grid barely handles users' needs. Can't use nuclear, natural gas is running out. Oil fired is out of the question, then where?

What will be done with billions of dead batteries, can’t bury them in the soil, can’t go to landfills.

The cart is way ahead of the horse. No thought whatsoever to handle any of the problems that batteries can cause.

The liberal press doesn't want to talk or report on any of this.

By the way, in France, thousands of taxis are now stored as inoperable because the batteries are dead and to replace them would cost more than the value of the vehicle itself!

‘’ONE PERCENTERS’’
The 1% Age Group. This special group was born between 1930 & 1946 = 16 years. In 2021, the age range is between 75 & 91. Are you, or do you know, someone 'still around?'

Interesting Facts For You . . . .

You are the smallest group of children born since the early 1900s.

You are the last generation, climbing out of the depression, who can remember the winds of war and the impact of a world at war that rattled the structure of our daily lives for years.

You are the last to remember ration books for everything from gas to sugar to shoes to stoves.

You saved tin foil and poured fried meat fat into tin cans.

You saw cars up on blocks because tires weren't available.

You can remember milk being delivered to your house early in the morning and placed in the 'milk box' on the porch.

You are the last to see the gold stars in the front windows of grieving neighbors whose sons died in the War.

You saw the 'boys' home from the war, build their little houses.

You are the last generation who spent childhood without television; instead, you “imagined” what you heard on the radio.

With no TV until the 1950s, you spent your childhood 'playing outside.'

There was no Little League.

There was no city playground for kids.

The lack of television in your early years meant that you had little real understanding of what the world was like.

On Saturday mornings and afternoons, the movies gave you newsreels sandwiched in between westerns and cartoons.

Telephones were one to a house, often shared (party lines), and hung on the wall in the kitchen (no cares about privacy).

Computers were called calculators; they were hand-cranked.

Typewriters were driven by pounding fingers, throwing the carriage, and changing the ribbon.

''INTERNET'' and ''GOOGLE'' were words that did not exist.

Newspapers and magazines were written for adults and the news was broadcast on your radio in the evening.

The Government gave returning Veterans the means to get an education and spurred colleges to grow.

Loans fanned a housing boom.

Pent-up demand, coupled with new installment payment plans opened many factories for work.

New highways would bring jobs and mobility.

The veterans joined civic clubs and became active in politics.

The radio network expanded from 3 stations to thousands.

Your parents were suddenly free from the confines of the depression and the war, and they threw themselves into exploring opportunities they had never imagined.

You weren't neglected, but you weren't today's all-consuming family focus.

They were glad you played by yourselves until the street lights came on.

They were busy discovering the postwar world.

You entered a world of overflowing plenty and opportunity; a world where you were welcomed, enjoyed ourselves, and felt secure in your

1 % pt 2

You entered a world of overflowing plenty and opportunity; a world where you were welcomed, enjoyed ourselves, and felt secure in your future although the depression poverty was deeply remembered.

Polio was still a crippler.

You came of age in the '50s and '60s.

You are the last generation to experience an interlude when there were no threats to our homeland.

The Second World War was over and the cold war, terrorism, global warming, and perpetual economic insecurity had yet to haunt life with unease.

Only your generation can remember both a time of ‘’great war’’ and a time when our world was secure and full of bright promise and plenty.

You grew up at the best possible time, a time when the world was getting better...

You are 'The Last Ones.'

More than 99 % of you are either retired or deceased, and you feel privileged to have 'lived in the best of times!'

Amen!

It’s great being part of the 1% Special Group!

And I'll drink to that . . . yes it was good times . . . .

FOR THOSE WHO ARE 60 +
This is for you. I really like what is said here & I’m going to try my best to follow it, thanks to the person who originated it.

May God bless you all as we strive to be a blessing to others at this age, especially to our children.

1 of 20 Between 60 and death. It's time to use the money you saved up. Use it and enjoy it. Don't just keep it for those who may have no notion of the sacrifices you made to get it. Remember there is nothing more dangerous than a son or daughter-in-law with big ideas for your hard-earned capital.

2 of 20 Warning: This is also a bad time for investments, even if it seems wonderful or fool-proof. They only bring problems and worries. This is a time for you to enjoy some peace and quiet.

3 of 20 Stop worrying about the financial situation of your children and grandchildren, and don't feel bad spending your money on yourself. You've taken care of them for many years, and you've taught them what you could. You gave them an education, food, shelter, and support. The responsibility is now theirs to earn their own money.

(I'll post more when the urge strikes.)

Planned chaos.

If you leave the gate open, the cow will wander off. So if you
intentionally leave the gate open, you want the cow to wander off.
You can't blame stupidity or laziness. It was intentional.

If you cut police budgets, you will get more crime on the streets.
So if you intentionally cut police budgets, you wanted more crime
on the streets.

If you cut back the supply of oil, gas prices will go up. So if you
intentionally cut back the supply of oil, you wanted gas prices to
go up.

If you print trillions of dollars without increasing the supply of
goods, inflation will hit hard. So if you intentionally print
trillions of dollars without more goods you wanted inflation to hit hard.

If you leave the southern border wide open, you get more drug
trafficking and human trafficking. So if you intentionally leave
the border wide open, you wanted more drug trafficking and human
trafficking.

If you shut down 40% of the supply of baby formula in February,
you'll get a huge shortage. When you KNOW a huge baby formula
shortage is coming because of the FDA's actions, and you
purposefully do nothing to prevent it, month after month, until the
crisis finally hits hard, you INTENDED this crisis.

It is time to recognize the evil people behind that old man. They
want crisis. They want chaos. They want riots. They want conflicts
in your town. Their stated purpose years ago with Obama was to
'take the US down a few notches on the world stage.'

You can feel the quality of your life going down with the country. These are not
foolish or misguided people. They are headed somewhere you
don't want to go...

Re: Climate change...

From the Washington Post:

The Arctic ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from Consulafft, at Bergen, Norway.

Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone. Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes. Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still very warm. Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared.

Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds.

I apologize, I neglected to mention that this report was from November 2, 1922. As reported by the AP and published in The Washington Post — 100 years ago!

There are two ways to move towards green:
1) Develop technology so green becomes cheaper than oil.
2) Make oil more expensive, so green seems cheaper.

FOR THOSE WHO ARE 60 + (continued)

4 of 20 Keep a healthy life, without great physical effort. Do moderate exercise (like walking every day), eat well, and get your sleep. It's easy to become sick, and it gets harder to remain healthy. That is why you need to keep yourself in good shape and be aware of your medical and physical needs. Keep in touch with your doctor, do tests even when you're feeling well. Stay informed.

5 of 20 Always buy the best, most beautiful items for your significant other. The key goal is to enjoy your money with your partner. One day one of you will miss the other, and the money will not provide any comfort then, enjoy it together
