I agree with the Governor. Since a majority of younger people drink and drive and do not concentrate very well when they are behind the wheel. It should take them longer and if they drink and drive take it away till ther are 25

Here is my question, if JB is so senile, how come he keeps kicking your butts?

I wish we still had Walter Jones who looked out for his constituents on issues like this. Murphy is too much of a swamp brown noser and that is why he backstabbed the folks back home on this overspending. This is not the first time. Murphy joined the "woke" in their cancel culture against southern heritage. In the legislature, he also joined the "woke" to push the Obamacare Medicaid expansion so hard he got the nickname "Medicaid Murphy" and to support letting biological males into Ladies restrooms and locker rooms.

Murphy is not for us. Walter Jones must be spinning in his grave. We need a change in congress come the next primary.

Big Bob, you Leftists see everything in terms of Democratic Socialism, while I see everything in terms of logic from wisdom, and you rise to the timmerity to challenge me with my: "hurt feeling because you hear about racism."

First, I did not mention Race, secondly neither did the poem. In fact the originator of the poem is complaining about The Great Society being ineffectual, but misses the mark on the solution.

However Big Bob, as a Leftist, you understand the causational core to be 'Racism.' And from what you explain as the fix is to cry "racism."

Thank God there are few Leftist that are called upon to fix stuff, make stuff, and even properly explain stuff.

This is what Biden is trying to do to the entire country. He is truly the Manchurian candidate, doing the bidding of the Chinese Communist Party.

The huge spike in electric prices in Europe happened well before the Ukraine war and in direct response to the EU green deal. Poland's prime minister told his countrymen that the huge rate increases on electricity were due to "the climate policies of the EU". Spain's socialist deputy prima minister warned the EU that the rise in power prices from the Green Deal created a threat of public unrest in her country they were so severe. A few countries made out much better than others, like France which relies mostly on nuclear power and is building lots more. The Russian gas cutoff did not help but it was not the cause. Skyrocketing electric prices had already happened. Norway has come to the rescue of some countries like building a new pipeline to Poland, but again that was in the works before the Ukraine war.

Most of Europe is screwing themselves by not developing shale gas which a number of countries like Germany and the UK have a good supply of but will not develop due to the climate crazies. Norway, however, is going full steam ahead to supply both oil and gas. Hungary is starting to open up its shale reserves, which are estimated to be able to supply their own needs for centuries. Prime Minister Liz Truss briefly opened the UK's shale gas reserves to development, only to have that policy reversed by current prime minister Sunak.

I'm far less concerned about your hurt feeling because you hear about racism than I am about the feelings of those who experience it. Buck up, buttercup.

Tax money handed out to private organizations. That is political payola, vote buying, and corruption.

Or maybe the Russians stopped selling the EU their natural gas? You know, because of the war.

Said the man who has no clue of the size and scope of the problem. No one argues that there is a natural cycle of cooling and warming. The argument is: does adding vast amounts of CO2 to the atmosphere, over time, accelerate the warming?

How much CO2 John, how much is added each day?
