What I find odd is that Trump is eager to promote all kinds of deranged allegations and conspiracy theories but for some reason, never jumped on the Epstein bandwagon. Why such a conspicuous silence on the matter? Not only didn't he promote it, he also never denounced it either until it actually looked like the votes were there to support the release of the files. Odd.

Do you understand that as long as there's oil in the ground that can be pumped out at an economically sustainable rate, the USA will be more or less okay. But do you think that the supply is infinite? Do you think that as more easily tapped sources run dry, that petroleum and gas won't get more costly? Do you believe that exploiting sunshine and and wind power will also dry up the supply of those 2 resources or make them more scarce sometime in the future?

Even if Vietnam isn't communist, how is that an American victory? What did America's defeat in Vietnam have to do with Vietnam's economic success?

You mean Trump imposing tariffs on Canadian goods was good for Canada? If you take oil out of the picture, the US actually ran a trade surplus with Canada. And it was Trump who attacked Biden for putting a halt to Keystone 2, which would have increased Canadian oil exports to the USA.

Well, if that's the case, they don't know how to bomb gas, coal and nuclear powered plants? But they can't cut off supplies of wind and solar, can they? And you're seriously concerned about a bombing campaign waged against America? Will it be Mexico or Canada leading the charge?

Even if this were true, which virtually all climatologists deny, according to the guy who came up with this nonsense,we would still have almost 2 million years before this happened.. Almost 2 million years! And yet it's climate change denialists who claim that climatologists are alarmists. It is to laugh.

In other words, Trump's tariff hike didn't result in manufacturing jobs with high pay returning to the USA as Trump promised. Instead, the pay stayed low and the jobs stayed foreign.

If he's really feeling it, he should direct those emotions a lot closer to home.

Can you please share with us what country the enemy forces are going to invade and carry out this horrid plan? And please share with us the approximate date.

I repeat the same one word question I asked before. Evidence?

So, are you saying that the trend that actually began during the Obama administration shouldn't redound to Biden's credit but should redound to Trump's? And can you share with us the size of those additions to the public sector to show how significant they were?

Yes — multiple credible accounts and court testimony indicate that girls who were minors were brought into Epstein’s homes while guests were present, as part of the sex-trafficking and exploitation network that prosecutors documented. These underage girls were part of the trafficking scheme, not incidental guests. https://www.euronews.com/2021/12/03/maxwell-trial-former-epstein-staffer-says-teen-accusers-visited-mansion?utm_source=chatgpt.com

Same rant.

Really? The Trump administration on Monday said it would pause leases for five wind farms under construction off the east coast, essentially gutting the country’s nascent offshore wind industry in a sharp escalation of President Trump’s crusade against the renewable energy source. The decision injected uncertainty into $25 billion worth of projects that were expected to power more than 2.5 million homes and businesses across the Eastern United States, according to Turn Forward, an offshore wind advocacy group. The five wind farms were projected together to create together about 10,000 jobs. https://archive.ph/JUym8

As you understand it? What's your understanding based on? And thanks for the closing rant.

But not such great news for American workers who were promised those high paying manufacturing jobs.

The thing is, this jump is due solely to 2 factors: increased spending by the wealthiest Americans and a increased spending on AI. So most Americans aren't feeling the joy. Consumer spending powers the US economy. A K-shaped economy will further test this dynamic in 2026. https://www.aol.com/finance/consumer-spending-powers-us-economy-110830206.html The AI boom has powered the US economy to its fastest growth in two years, with GDP expanding by 4.3pc in the third quarter. The economy picked up sharply from the 3.8pc growth of the previous quarter, and brushed past economists’ expectations of a 3.2pc increase. The growth was driven by record investment in data centres, alongside a 3.5pc jump in consumer spending as the AI-fuelled stock market boosted household wealth. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/us-economy-booms-ai-investment-162521861.html

He banned it because he claimed that it was a threat to national security. He didn't invoke economic reasons.

Actually, it's more like 14%. But do you think Texas is adding massive amounts of solar and storage to raise its rates? Even though Texas is now subsidizing the construction of gas power plants, solar power and storage is still increasing rapidly. What does that tell you? Also, I've noticed that you've disparaged wind as a reliable source of power. Or is Texas wind special?

Texas

Evidence? In other words, you've got nothing.

First off, at least have the decency to admit that you didn't even know that Epstein and Maxwell were convicted on sex trafficking charges related to minors. And it's not my job to educate you on the facts of the case.

It doesn't change the fact that your comment was irrelevant. Maybe I should keep a dossier on your comments?

I had no idea that America was under imminent threat of an invasion. Where is this invasion force currently assembling?
