Maybe your link guy was distracted by Trump's racist cartoon.

Black Americans, stand up for immigrants. ICE is terrorizing our communities, too.
If there ever was a time for solidarity, the time is now. The end of due process for immigrants is the end of due process for everyone.

There are several polling services showing more Americans and likely voters ranking Bidenomics higher than Trumpanomics. But none is no doubt more hurtful to poor baby Trump than his and his MAGA Repubs' favorite polling service, Rasmussen. And its head polster grudgingly admits that Biden would trounce Trump again if another election were held today:

Trump Friendly Pollster Stuns With Survey Comparing Biden And Trumps Job Performance.
Feb. 11, 2026

https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/...204752162.html

According to a Rasmussen survey released on Tuesday, 56% of likely U.S. voters disapprove of Trumps performance thus far in the White House. The numbers got worse from there, especially when his performance was compared to that of former President Joe Biden.

When asked who did a better job as president, 48% answered with Biden and 40% answered Trump. Another 8% say they have performed about the same. The survey was conducted between February 2-4 among more than 1,000 likely voters. It carries a margin of error of 3%.
...........
Rasmussen Reports head pollster Mark Mitchell argued that while he would likely not agree with voters who would choose Biden over Trump today, the numbers are undeniable.

"If an election were held TODAY between Trump and Biden, Biden would win, he wrote on Tuesday on X. There are a million valid arguments you can make that explain why thats retarded, and I would agree with most of them. But that doesnt change the fact Biden would win.

BTW, that poll was conducted BEFORE the January 2026 BLS Jobs Report was released showing a revised net LOSS of 1000 jobs for the entire 2nd half of 2025 after Trump enacted his "Liberation From Your Job" Day tariffs along with the 130,000 jobs created last month being dwarfed by the 230,000+ average per month we had under Biden, along with the 256,000 created in December 2024, a 4. 1% Unemployment Rate and a 2.9% inflation rate at the handoff.

Oh, and while we're at it, might as well mention 2024 already saw a decades' long low rate of violent and property crime under Biden after both had spiked up to decades' long highs rates in 2020 under Trump.

If you are going to Caracas for women, you will likely be disappointed. Venezuela is home of all these Miss Universes and Jim Rogers, who did a world tour, went to Caracas on his worldwide tour and said something to the effect that it was not what he expected. I went after he did and I will tell you it is a flat up disappointment. In fact, I would have said the Venezuelan women were overrated if not for the stunning Venezuelans I have met abroad.

Colombian and Venezuelan women are in the same gene pool, and that is the reason Colombia has been so accepting of Venezuelans. What I have learned about the culture is the best women are held very closely by their families and the brothers / parents are very protective of these women.

American women have gotten so pathetic that if you do not have a kid, a mental illness, huge debt, a drug problem, or are obese, you are in the top 1% of all women even if you are a plain jane looks wise. In contrast, my gal's daughter and her friends would be in the top 0.1% of all American women because most are in shape and attractive, and they are all virgins. You might ask how I know, but I can tell you how tightly the parents are in control of their kids. The issue is when these women go to university and are out of the homes that many go nuts with men.

On the flip side if you are going to buy land, that is a no-brainer. I kicked myself for not buying land / a house in Buenos Aires after that country's economy collapsed. The region in Buenos Aires where all the embassies is goes by the name Palermo, and it is the last place any new administration is going to steal land from. So buying land / a house around the USA embassy in Caracas now is a great idea. The prices in BA tripled in like five years..

I wouldn't visit for pussy I think the scene is still too unstable for that, I want to visit some people I know and I want to explore early.

Before ISGs flood it like Colombia SEA et al.

Maracay is supposed to be a nice military town.

I wish I was brave enough buy a place near the beaches in Aragua, but not unlike the Oil execs.

The Chavistas have a terrible track record of taking things that don't belong to them.

I haven't been there yet, but I don't agree with your comment about the gene pool.

My apologies if your GF is Colombian but Colombian chicas are not attractive to me.

Either their body is whacked or their face is or both.

I like a very thin and very pretty with smaller breasts.

Kinda like Veronica Rodriguez the Porn Star, I met her at a Porn Convention, she wanted to cum to my room for $$ and was texting and calling me later that day.

But I wasn't interested in her price.

I can give you an example, the women in Poland are pretty ugly, walk around Germany and you will probably never see an Ugly woman (ethnically German) I never have.

My theory is men with the most money breed with the best looking women money can buy, that affects the gene pool.

I'm pretty sure this is the case with Venezuela and Colombia.

And Japan and South Korea the Korean face is whacked.

Thing is Caracas is a hot as fuck shithole. Yeah, there are a few nice parts, but you have to drive through the slums on the way to and from the airport and maybe traffic is better now that so many people have left the country but the road to the city would often get backed up in the slum area. You are a sitting duck there for any armed punk.

The area I am looking at is LOS Roques. https://stock.adobe.com/search?k=%22los+roques+venezuela%22.

Everybody outside of Venezuela thinks the best beaches are on Margarita Island but in Venezuela everyone mentions LOS Roques. I am not sure there are better beaches in South America or anywhere really and in the Southern Caribbean hurricanes are much less of a problem than areas like the Gulf coast.

I have not been to the city of Merida but that is where I would go if I were looking for women. It is in the mountains and cooler and is home to some of the best universities in the country.

I never said they was building one by day, my point was that Dam arent like people think they are, they are not all single huge concrete wall who can be blowed with 1 explosion to shut down the electricity all over america in a single shot. So trying to produce it localy with coal for some knid of safety issue is bullshit, expensive and poisonning the air.

USA is sit next to a state who would happily sell enough clean energy for all the usa needs and all of this in canadian pesos. But american are so dumb and they are totaly mesmerized by their billionaire oligarch verbal diarrhea.

Thanks for the explanation, Bennie!

But I'm afraid, the more you explain, the more convoluted and befuddling it becomes.

Thanks anyways!

When I read headlines about Immigration and Customs Enforcement and National Guard deployments in Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington, DC, and now possibly Charlotte, North Carolina, and New Orleans childhood trauma resurfaces. As a Black, first-generation citizen born in the United States, who grew up in an overpoliced immigrant community, I feel echoes of painful memories.

I lived in a mixed-immigration status household in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, a melting pot of Caribbean ethnicities including St. Lucian, Jamaican, Haitian, Dominican and Guyanese. I was always struck by how normal the militarization of our neighborhood seemed to some locals, even though it was anything but. When I visited Manhattan or somewhere more racially diverse, I noticed people there didnt face constant police checkpoints, frequent stops or fear of armed officers conditions proven to traumatize those repeatedly exposed to them.

The erosion of the Democratic base is accelerating.

Black voters have been and still are the most reliable Democratic voters. But in his three presidential campaigns, Mr. Trump made serious inroads in heavily Black counties, across the Deep South and beyond.

Those incursions predated 2024: More counties with a majority of Black voters shifted toward the Republicans in each of the last three elections than the total number of counties nationwide that trended toward Democrats.

Democrats increased their share of the vote in all three elections in only two majority-Black counties in the entire country, Rockdale and Douglas, both outside Atlanta in Georgia, a hotly contested battleground state.

Again, I see zero assertion and zero link for when, where, how and which typically Blue State flipped from Harris to Trump due to an "erosion" of Black, Latino or any other usual Dem voters that gave Trump so much as a single decisive or winning Electoral College appointment to give him the presidency and launch into his 2nd disastrous term of wiping out private-sector jobs while skyrocketing his deficits.

None.

Only one typically Dem voting demographic in the only 3 swing states that mattered and where that demographic was specifically targeted on a single issue with Netanyahu in more control over that issue than anyone else on the planet produced the deciding Electoral College appointments to give Trump the presidency in 2024 and launch into his destruction of America and the American economy.

You have provided zero assertion or link to support any other conclusion.

Right down there with zero quotes or links for me "bashing Muslims. ".

Was there an uncharacteristically large surge in black male votes for Trump in PA, MI and WI? Because those were the states whose Electoral College appointments gave the presidency to Trump in 2024. There was no surge of any typically Dem demographic voters that flipped a Blue state's EC appointments to Trump. Since that didn't happen, where are you getting that a move in Black, Latino or any other typically Dem demographic vote from Harris to Trump won him a single decisive EC appointment?

In the only 3 swing states that mattered, PA, MI and WI, there is plenty of evidence that the targeting of the Muslim Community in those 3 states and swinging just enough of those potential votes from Harris to Trump, less than a single percentage point swing among them, is the sole reason the USA now has to pay higher prices for groceries, there have been massive private-sector jobs layoffs, private-sector jobs creation has been practically non existent for over a year, Trillions and Trillions have been added to Trump's deficits with nothing to show for it and on and on.

And this was a major deciding factor in their tiny handful of swing votes from Harris to Trump that "gave Trump the presidency"; Netanyahu simply delayed honoring the Biden-negotiated May 2024 ceasefire agreement until after the election:

Measuring electoral performance by race using countywide results is imprecise; voters of any race could play a role in a partisan shift. But all signs point toward the same conclusion, including the fact that Mr. Trump's support continued to grow in each of the six most predominantly Black counties in the country.

In last year's election, Republicans gained ground in 193 of the country's 200 most predominantly Black counties — even as former Vice President Kamala Harris stood to become the first Black female president.

The slippage is even more pronounced and profound in Latino communities.

Of the 67 counties in America with a majority Hispanic population, 66 voted more Republican in 2024 than in 2012.

Even more arresting is that the average swing toward the G. O. P. In those 66 Hispanic-majority counties was 23 percentage points — a political earthquake with which both parties are still coming to terms.

Mr. Trump improved his results in each of his three presidential runs in about two-thirds of majority-Hispanic counties.

Democrats, by contrast, steadily improved their share of the vote in not a single county in America where Latinos account for a third or more of the population.

The DNC is clearly the party of Anti American Feminists, Trannies and all those from Asia that hate America from birth even if they were shit out here.

There was an aphorism going around after the election, seems everyone hates Trump except Blacks Whites and Hispanics (Jews Muslims and Hispanics are Caucasians).

The problem with this TDS madness is that it gets blamed for everything. Yeah, Bennie, when I looked into Canada and their hydroelectric potential, it was great. Then you look at real estate prices, immigrants surging, crime rates in Canada, the political leadership, and especially the shit Ottawa pulled with the Covid trucker's strike, and I would not want to put a penny into Canada right now.

I grew up near Canada and I considered Canadians and Americans interchangeable. Even when W Bush came into power, and one USD would buy $1. 50 Canadian, I thought Canada was greatly undervalued. They balanced their budget, were not fighting stupid wars, and even provided free / national healthcare. Their cities were crime free models many American cities that many American city wanted to emulate. And ten years, the Canadian and American dollar were equal in value.

But Canada cow towed to their women who were no longer having kids, and Canada tried to fix their population problem with immigration and unlike the USA (well, unlike the USA except under Biden) they let in so many immigrants they lost their culture. Housing prices skyrocketed, crime rates soared, and the Canadian culture IMO is dead replaced by a version of liberalism that would make California blush.

In 2001, Canada was nirvana for the monger. Lap dances were $14 not $20, and the escorts were beautiful, plentiful, and legal. Now we are at one USA dollar buying $1. 37 Canadian and I think the USA dollar is undervalued. The nanny state is so strong there that Americans with one DWI are not let into the country. If you invest in Canada, you often cannot get your money out. The hostility towards the USA, even before Trump, is unreal..

Yes you constantly bash and use the "Dog whistle" here for your fellow racists / bigots that hate Caucasians (most Muslims are Caucasians).

Was he the MittWitt economic campaign advisor who told MittWitt to assure the American people that his historically brilliant Repub economic policies that brought us every Great Depression, Great Recession and Massive Jobs Destruction of the past 100 years would also lower the unemployment rate to 6% within 4 years? Then Obama / Biden went on to lower it below 5% in 6 months or something like that? LOL.

Oh, and please cite the posts and quotes where I "bash Muslims".

I have only pointed out that a tiny handful of angry Muslims who swung their usual vote for the Dem candidate to the Repub candidate in the only 3 swing states that mattered gave the presidency to Trump, that's all. A swing of less than about 114,900 votes from that one demographic out of hundreds of thousands of them in those 3 swing states did it. A swing of about 0. 75 of a single percentage point of them spread across those three states did it.

No blue states flipped from Harris to Trump. None. So whatever percentage of Blacks, Latinos, Asians, Men, whatever Trump gained and Harris lost momentarily on any particular isdue did not matter and had nothing to do with the players on the field or who won the presidency.

It all came down to the one demographic that ordinarily votes for Dems swinging a relatively tiny handful of their votes from Harris to Trump in just those 3 swing states. Which is why that one demographic was targeted so specifically on that one issue in those 3 states. Team Trump and Netanyahu's efforts worked. Just barely. But they worked. It's as simple as that.

Which, BTW, is why it has been so blissfully easy and lightning fast for Trump's poll numbers on his handling of the economy, inflation, immigration, etc to tank. LOL. The typically pro-Repub Mainstream Media was convinced and has tried to convince anyone who would listen that Trump just won the presidency on those and other issues like trannies, crime, pet-eating and so on. So now they are shocked that those "strong issues" for him are collapsing like a house of cards.

But the reality is Trump did NOT win because of those issues. He won for the reason I have been pointing out since the night of the election. So it is easy for the American people to turn on poor baby Trump on the issues that would not and did not really win him anything had that relatively tiny handful of angry Muslims in PA, MI and WI not swung their usual Dem vote to the Repub in response to a single issue that had nothing to do with the economy, inflation, immigration, wokeism, cats and dogs being eaten, where trannies pee and nothing of the kind.

Nah, the "liberal idiots" verbally attack, the continued use of coal, equally, wherever it's happening, while promoting and fostering cooperative relationships for cleaner, fossil-free solutions.

Except for China, which accepts reality, that it needs coal to provide firm baseload supply.

He did not back off one iota when the cold spells left so many people without power when they needed it most.

What do you expect? He's fixated on LCOE. He bizarrely believes that solar and wind are more reliable than natural gas and fuel oil during weather events. He probably doesn't realize utilities have fuel oil stocks and gas storage fields to handle cold spells. And doesn't appear to understand that you must have natural gas, coal, and/or nuclear plants for reliable baseload power, unless you live someplace like Quebec or New Zealand.

For the bigger picture, ignoring weather events, by focusing just on LCOE, he ignores a lot of costs. For example, the cost of transmission build-out, new and upgraded substations, etc. He fails to consider that storage for wind and solar is expensive. And extremely expensive more than 6 hours out. Please note on an average day with good weather you can only get meaningful solar generation for about 4 to 6 hours. For wind the average is 6 to 10 hours a day.

(Quebecois) have like 50% of their land covered of river and lake, its enough to produce enrgy for the whole world.

BAHAHAHAHA!

Duh! ...everyone knows, that output drops when snow covers a solar panel, and smart operators should naturally plan for it. But as petrol-heads insistently drown on about the failures of solar and wind, perhaps they should, they should why oil and gas output have also dropped in the 2026 frigid winter cold snap?

Tell me again, how will a U.S. grid, that runs 60% on fossil fuels, is going to power itself on fossil fuels going forward, when it can even get passed a winter storm, where production levels of oil and gas drastically drop off during a storm?

Gas production fell by maybe 10% nationwide during the "2026 frigid winter cold snap. " But withdrawals from gas storage fields made up for a lot of that, and in some areas all of it. Generation from solar nationwide fell by 60% to 90%, and wind fell by 30% to 60%.

Electricity generation from fuel oil and diesel (that is, oil) on the other hand increased a lot. During peak demand it accounted for 40%+ of power generation in New York and some other states in the northeast. Normally fuel oil and diesel account for less than 1% of power generation in New York.

Percentages above, except BennieBen's, are from ChatGPT.

Thank goodness for fossil fuels! Without them a lot of people would have gotten very cold.

I will correct you a second time. Production levels of oil are irrelevant to the discussion at hand. Nobody uses oil based products for power generation at scale because the electricity costs too much. Except in some blue states during freezes, because Democratic Party politicians hindered and prevented construction of gas pipelines.

5th Grade Maths:

However, it seems you still can't do basic 5th grade math, from my last post? Well here allow me to help with your 5th grade math assignment, I left with you.

60 is bigger than 15. In fact it is exactly 4x times bigger. So when the USA Electricity grid is powered by 60% fossil fuels, and only 15% solar and wind, it's only far that when the grid fails, fossil fuels should shoulders 4x times the blame.

BAHAHAHAHAHA!

Remember though, the real blame (like Texas 2021), in this 2026 winter storm, comes down to poor grid management, downed lines and insufficient preparedness, resulting in grid failure.

PS: By contrast, there was an abundance of wind generation as the storm rips through parts of New Mexico and Oklahoma.

You are correct, the 2026 blackouts in Texas were caused by poor grid management. ERCOT, which manages the grid, prioritized some residential and other areas over oil and gas fields, gas plants, and pipeline compressors. When electricity was shut off to the hydrocarbon producing, processing and transportation infrastructure, equipment froze up and couldn't be restarted. Gas pipeline and processing companies sounded the alarm, but ERCOT wouldn't listen. This isn't a mistake that will be repeated in Texas.

Because my flight was cancelled, and American Airline rebooked me on a flight four days out, I drove from DFW airport to Lubbock on the coldest day of the 2021 Texas deep freeze in a rental car. The route took me through the most prolific wind generating area in Texas. And the wind wasn't blowing. The windmills weren't turning.
