If you think the economy is "pretty good" you have probably not bought gas or shopped for food since Biden has been in office. Or, at least you haven't done so in the US. You also might want to look at polls on what most Americans think about the economy.

"Pretty good" economies don't see their currency lose 20% of its value in 3 years.

This loony left woman injects leftwing politics into everything. Maybe you could find a token liberal that is not so grating? Some of them are actually interesting to read their stuff. This one is NOT.

Legislation is being adopted in states here in the US to require that cash remain as a payment mechanism. That is also being pursued in some European countries. Restricting citizens to digital currency is a huge threat to privacy and freedom and is a goal of the globalists.

Totalitarians of the past thought communism and naziism were "progress" so it is not surprising that totalitarians of today think the same thing of globalism.

I swear, you must work for Klaus Schwab, George Soros, or some other globalist kingpin. You parrot their narrative at every turn, Little Bobbie.

Coal, gas, and nuclear are reliable and cheap ways of making electricity, with geothermal, thorium reactors, and the new modular nuke units exciting new possilibilities. Wind and solar are expensive, unreliable, and a threat to the environment, and I mean the REAL environment, not your CO2 obsession.

We have already switched away from electric vehicles once, and will do so again.

I was hopeful, that we finally had a Republican House Speaker worth a crap in Mike Johnson, but after his sellout of the taxpayers, it is now clear that we do not. This was a horrible bill, and just fuels more inflation.

Shoot the messenger, Bobbie? Zero Hedge is just who published the article. The actual information comes from a professional meteorologist Joe Bastardi of WeatherBell, which has probably the best track record of predicting hurricanes.

The Homeowners insurance companies rip us off by using the same digital voodoo that the climate alarmists do, computer modelling, instead of real data. With computer modelling, you can set up the model to produce any results you want. Insurance companies should be forced to go back to using real data, not this fraudulent voodoo. Charging the east a whole lot more for wind insurance does NOT track with their actual payouts on wind claims compared to rates and claims in the piedmont and west.

Oh, and here is Senator John Kennedy demolishing a climate alarmist "expert" in a Senate hearing: redstate.com

NC's green mafia is promoting this expensive and unreliable wind and solar electricity, with offshore wind being the absolute worst. This will both make our electric service subject to blackouts and make it lots more expensive. Politicians who have promoted this anti-consumer boondoggle include Gov. Roy Cooper (D), Atty General Josh Stein (D), Sen. Phil Berger (RINO), Speaker Tim Moore (RINO), and local Sen. Jim Perry (RINO). Lt. Governor Mark Robinson (R) after being briefing on the issue, refused to take a stand either way. Former local Senator Bill Cook (R) and former local State Rep. Mike Speciale fought hard against this consumer ripoff. Rep. Keith Kidwell (R) has also opposed it.

This is the economic bloodbath that Biden is planning for the auto industry and the economy of the country as a whole:

As usual, your far left narrative is NOT factual, Little Bobbie. The Trump tax cuts were for EVERYBODY. You Marxists always want to "soak the rich" so you were just in a snit that the tax cuts included them. Actually, when a leftist says "soak the rich" it usually really means drown the middle class.

Yes you are, Little Bobbie. For those who want to learn Earth's climate history and why the manmade global warming theory is delusional, one of the best sources is to listen to the prominent scientists interviewed on the British TV documentary "The Great Global Warming Swindle" which was originally broadcast nationally in the UK on Channel 4 and can be watched at this link: www.youtube.com

Too many hardworking Americans skimp on medical care because they cannot afford it. Their cost is driven up by these freeloaders illegally entering our country. Hospitals should be prohibited by law from raising prices to Americans in order to pay for these freeloaders from abroad. If they give care to illegal aliens, it should be on charity wards paid for by someone other than the paying patients or their insurance companies.

Most of the excess spending under Trump was due to Covid, and following Fauci's reecommendations was one mistake Trump made. We should have followed the Swedes with the herd immunity concept, which worked a lot better both from the health and economic standpoints. With Biden, it is different. Biden gives us ideological boondoggles like his wind and solar energy push, and the cost to the taxpayer of Biden's open borders is enormous.

Almost all mass shootings happen in gun free zones. Mass shooters are cowards and commit their crimes where they don't think anyone will be able to shoot back. The best way to stop mass shootings is to ban gun free zones.

High winds are nothing new, whether straight line, tornado, or hurricane. They have been happening since the dawn of time and will continue to happen. Building wind and solar farms in out of the way places has led to a lot more power lines being up, and that is what increases the risk of wildfires, plus the fact that wind turbines themselves fairly often catch fire and can be ignition sources.

Illegal aliens have also proven to sometimes start wildfires through negligence or intent. Large numbers of jihadist Muslim illegal aliens and ChiCom illegal aliens hostile to the US, increases the risk of intentionally set wildfires.

Stan, in the wacky world of the cult of Climate Scientology, their narrative tells them that anything bad that happens is the fault of "climate change / global warming". If this dude gets mugged or gets a speeding ticket this evening, he will find a way to blame it on CO2. They are all complete nutters.

The pagan religious cult of Climate Scientology is like the medieval church. Then, anything bad that happened was a punishment from God. The only difference is that now anything bad that happens is supposed to be a punishment from manmade global warming. In the medieval church, you could pay the Pope an indulgence to be allowed to sin. In Climate Scientology, you can pay the Pope of that pagan religious cult, Al Gore, an indulgence called a carbon offset to be allowed to sin (emit carbon). Yet many are bent on making Climate Scientology in effect a state religion.
