American Politics

[FFlintstone69]

But for Barack Obama there never would have been the rise of MAGA and a Chump presidency, America's angry and fearful backlash to a man of color having served 8 successive years as president of the Republic and leader of the free world. Take our (white) country back again!

338 million Americans owe you a heart felt thank you for your filthy votes in 2008 and 2016 we wouldn't have Bad Orange Man w / o you!!

Bless Your Heart.

Your sentiments were shared by former presidential candidate Herman Cain who is no longer with us. At the end of day was it worth it to not wear the mask?

Unbelievable. You Dems learn nothing.

A 2023 Cochrane review found that wearing masks in the community probably makes little or no difference to the outcome of laboratory-confirmed influenza or SARS-CoV-2 infections.

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1....30.25321421v4

Among 53402 employees, 43920 (82.2%) were vaccinated by the end of the study. The cumulative incidence of influenza was similar for the vaccinated and unvaccinated states early, but over time the cumulative incidence of influenza increased more rapidly among the vaccinated than the unvaccinated.

https://www.healthline.com/health-ne...covid-19-study#COVID-19-risk-Comparing-nasal-spray-vs-placebo.

Researchers say people using a common allergy nasal spray, azelastine, were 69% less likely to contract COVID-19.

Participants in the trial were also 71% less likely to catch the common cold than placebo users.

In a clinical trial of healthy adults, people who used azelastine nasal spray (Astepro, Astelin) regularly for nearly two months were significantly less likely to become infected with SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) compared to those who used a placebo.

The spray, widely available over-the-counter for allergic rhinitis (hay fever), also appeared to reduce some other respiratory infections, with only mild side effects reported. The findings were published online on September 2 in JAMA Internal MedicineTrusted Source.

This is global warming all over again. You got these so called "scientists" twisting themselves into pretzels justifying their POV when the data blows up in their faces. When the data went against them, these "scientists" played the name game and changed global warming to climate change and changed the definition of a vaccine with Covid. And just like with global warming and Covid, the population will turn on these so called "scientists" once a critical mass of people see how they have been led off a cliff.

There is never any Democrats asking questions like, "Hey, Fauci, why weren't you doing studies on therapeutics like azelastine during the pandemic when so many doctors like Malone and McCollough told you to? Why didn't you listen to them versus having them banned from social media? Was it because you and your NIH buddies wanted to cash in on your vaccines that quit working after six months?" The best case scenario is Fauci was stupid; the worst is he was corrupt. But you dumb Dems in your ignorance still worship him.

Yep, there is no doubt in the mind of Dems that masks and vaccines work despite what the data says.

For all your rants on Bill Gates, when did anyone with an once of renewable, clean energy and green environmental savvy ever turn to Bill Gates, as an expert person for that intelligent knowledge space?

God, you are factually challenged. "How to Avoid a Climate Disaster: The Solutions We Have and the Breakthroughs We Need" is a 2021 book by Bill Gates that outlines a comprehensive plan to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 to prevent a climate catastrophe.

Four years later, and Gates has totally changed his mind.

So while you pose a interesting question, that takes "the race to AI success" and boil it down to a two-horse race, between the USA And China, based of electricity prices, unfortunately not buying into your premise that electricity prices, even close to being a key factor, let alone a mitigating factor. I think your argument is weak and flawed.

And here we go again with your personalizing an argument versus my restating the opinions of others. You do this literally with if not every post then every other post.

Huang Says AI's Growth Hinges On Solving The Energy Crunch.

In an episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience," Huang said the rapid expansion of AI is running headfirst into a new kind of limitation: power.

When Rogan asked whether energy has become the biggest hurdle for AI, Huang didn't hesitate. "It's the bottleneck," he said, highlighting that the availability of electricity, not the availability of GPUs, will determine how far and fast the industry can scale.

Go to the 3:52 mark here and you can see why wind and solar do not work with AI data centers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpEEDnV1gXw.

At the beginning of this video, Zeihan said everyone was in agreement with what needs to be done. I repeat everyone but you and Algore.

Thanks again impart to President Joe Biden's IRA Clean Energy bill initiatives. And best of all no moronic unnecessary "Drill-Baby-Drill", thanks to clean green renewable energy out-of-the-box thinking. I would even venture to image, it even has, residential block and community based heating applications or possibly heating their buildings.

P.S BTW, Bill Gates is a major contributor and backer to this clean green energy company. As far as I'm concerned with Bill Gates, I'll let his millions in clean green investments do the talking!

This is what I mean. You just see what you want. Bill Gates' Microsoft and its data centers will be powered by coal. Trump knows oil and gas are not going to be what powers data centers. That is why Gates backed off his zero carbon climate change bullshit and drill baby drill is irrelevant. You are way late in your thinking again.

And good luck charging your car battery (lead-ion??) Every day. Have you thought about a heat pump and a Li-ion batter power station?

Sorry but I'm unable to follow your train of thought. Do you want to debate the adv/disadv of solar/batteries?

Of course, you cannot follow. You are stuck on Biden good, solar good, lithium good, fossil fuel bad. It is why Tiny and Subcommander gave up on you.

The cost of a solar powered system using batteries and a heat pump is in the range of $2000 to $5000 installed and the batteries add hundreds of pounds to the weight of the RV. All the other methods (lead acid batteries, propane heat, electric heat with a generator burning gasoline, propane, or diesel) run at most for $2 a night.

Ah yes, but solar is free right and carbon neutral? No, you are burning more fossil fuel when you carry all that battery weight and once your batteries are exhausted if there is no sun, you have to go to shore power, plugging in a power cord, which is mostly generated via carbon sources. That is why carbon neutral is a fucking pipe dream.

I get the dream. You have an electric all wheel drive RV running on solar and battery. You can be cut off from the world and go wherever you want free from city sewage, water pipes, power lines, and internet cables.

And that is all it is, a dream because the batteries are just not good enough to compensate for when the wind stops blowing or the sun stops shining. The tech is just not there.

The irony is the carbon neutral vehicle that can be completely self-contained does exist. It is called a nuclear sub.

Please go educate yourself on the cartels of Latin America. They kill tens of thousands of humans every year. ...
...
BTW cocaine addiction is a horrible thing. Its almost no better then fentanyl. Go look up the crack addicts of Kensington in Philadelphia if you think smuggling in cocaine is no big deal. Insane your even making this argument. ...
...
Keep up the noble work defending the cartel.

Good rant and truth be told, I did enjoy a good chuckle over your strawman arguments, but really, for all your barking about cocaine and fentanyl, it's tad bit funny, you still don't seem to understand the basic concept of being lied to, by FOXY MUSE and your MAGA Fuhrer, about fentanyl coming out of Venezuela, when they're NOT! This matters, since fentanyl, distributed mainly out of Mexico and China, is what is being attributed to most drug deaths in America.

It's so hilarious, how you gullible MAGA suckers, again and again, buy into your MAGA Fuhrer's lies, corruption and pretexts, to whip-up support for an illegal attack on Venezuela, with some "narco terrorist" bullshit (just like the war on Iraq), for some personal vendetta and "Drill-Baby-Drill" unlawful and illegal capture of Venezuelan state oil and property. It's sad really!

At least try to stick to the legal aspects of when to use deadly force on non combatants in times of peace between nations like CNN does. You just go completely full TDS right from the go and try defend cocaine smugglers like its no crime at all and no one gets hurt from it LOL. You really should not even be allowed to post because you make you people look so foolish LOL.

Hey, it's not like you MAGA suckers, don't just show up looking "stupid", "foolish"" and just "weaklings", after years of your MAGA Fuhrer, repeatedly telling you this. I don't need to do a thing.

But really, perhaps you should take your own advice and read up when it is by law appropriate to use deadly force.

Again, is it any wonder that Admiral Alvin Holsey (a veteran of over some 37 yrs), wanted no part of these murderous illegal deadly force boat strikes and said as much to Pete Hegseth? And somehow you think Hegseth, who's been Sec. Def. for all of 5-minutes, knows more than the honorable vets, with +37 years of service? If so, you need to spend less time in Trumpland and more time, on how to be less gullible!

Like I said, your MAGA Fuhrer and the shit-show admin, tell so many freakin' LIES, are we too believe them when the call all the people in these boats drug traffickers, since they've provided no evidence as such and some reports have them murdering civilians in those boats, not even heading for America at all!

Since your MAGA strike team murders, have provided no evidence they were drug runners, why would I assume they were. And even if they were, it still murde! Just like you and I, they have the right to due process!

Something else killed him, not wearing a mask wasn't it.

I was 50 in perfect health.

But you brain dead sheeple loved them, so why don't you still wear them?

I loved seeing fools walking down the street alone wearing them or driving alone LMFAO.

I can't breathe with a mask blocking my airflow, if they ever mandate them again I promise you now I won't be wearing them.

BTW do you know English? Do you know how to read? Did you see what did the mask link showed.

FACT: 3/4 of energy used by industry, is in the form of HEAT, not electricity.

Rondo's Heat (Bricks) Battery, is now solving that industry problem. With free electrons from intermittent solar and wind, that are now a cheaper source of electricity, than burning fossil fuels. This now provides the means, by which to generate over 1000+ degrees Celsius in their heat battery, delivering industrial strength heat, as either hot-air or steam to customers, required to solve and meet (about 95% they claim) of the industrial sectors heating energy needs.

Rondo Energy, literally promote their heat battery that replaces boilers, where "It's as simple as, we heat bricks with toaster wire (like the one in your kitchen) and it doesn't get cheaper than that!".

Worlds largest industrial heat battery is online and solar-powered, October 16,2025 https://electrek.co/2025/10/16/world...solar-powered/ and CNBC - How Thermal Batteries Could Replace Lithium-Ion Batteries https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXPMXVLs3-Q.

Having just finished a a 100 MWh/20MWh (heat battery/solar) project in California (for an Oil Company of all people), now other industry companies from cement producers to chemical plants, are lining up, for a chance to decarbonize their industries.

WOW!...The applications are huge for this very revolutionary heat battery and for all major commercial and industrial companies that use high temperature heat for their materials processing.

Man has been able to heat himself since discovering fire. A RV has two heaters on average within. If you want free, you could add a wood burning oven, and a space heater can run all night on a car battery. That is easy-peasy.

Sure, if you take the proper precautions not to burn down your camper with space heaters and don't mind the poisoning or killing yourself, from wood burning stove carbon monoxide risks. But I wouldn't exactly call them FREE! And good luck charging your car battery (lead-ion??) Every day. Have you thought about a heat pump and a Li-ion batter power station?

AC use has really only taken off in the last 100 years, and there are still places around the world that need it. For the most part, using solar to try to displace fossil fuels was one of the dumbest things I have seen in my lifetime, but there have been some plusses to all the money spent on it.

When you see something like a 200 watt solar panel, ...

My plan then is to use a generator as little as possible. ...

So solar can reduce carbon emissions but the notion that it can eliminate them? Get the fuck out of here! There is not enough battery storage for periods of low sun. It is not doable.

Sorry but I'm unable to follow your train of thought. Do you want to debate the adv/disadv of solar/batteries? Or want to swap ideas, on how best to heat an RV? Or are you trying to say solar/batteries for heating RVs don't mix?

What is the precise topic, this post is trying to or supposed to address?

And then there is the naming of petrostate versus electrostatic. ... This disastrous green policy was a consequence of the Democrat carbon bad, solar good, big government must do everything dumb Democrat thinking. In the pre AI world, less carbon was doable while no carbon or carbon neutral power generation was a boneheaded and dangerous pipe dream.

That would be Electrostate vs. Petrostate, ie. China is the former and the USA Is the later. If by "green policy", you're referring to President Joe Biden's very successful, IRA and USA Clean Energy Programs, involving the innovative clean energy and renewable initiatives given to industry to kick-start cleaner green energy alternatives, than you couldn't be more wrong, as to how "boneheaded" they are.

And to be clear, while I know fossil fuels, petro-carbons and chemicals will be around for a long-time to come, and have many great uses. However, my interest lies, in highlighting the many ways in which we can decarbonize without BURNING FOSSIL FUELS, which is totally doable for perhaps 90% of industry, when you see (in my next post) the latest from a clean energy company Rondo Energy (California), that benefited immensely impart with funding from President Joe Biden's IRA Clean Energy bill.

Hate all you want on President Joe Biden's IRA Clean, Green, Renewables Energy & Chips Bills, all you want, it doesn't take-away from the fact, they were a hugely successful!

[Spidy]

Europe signed off on the Paris accords. Trump withdrew the USA from those accords and Thank God he did. ... Green good, carbon bad.
...
And no, you are not getting me defending Bill Gates but unlike you, I can clearly see why he changed his mind.

For all your rants on Bill Gates, when did anyone with an once of renewable, clean energy and green environmental savvy ever turn to Bill Gates, as an expert person for that intelligent knowledge space? Gates is fine when it comes to computers and AI? When it comes to renewables and clean energy, his money and investments do the loudest and best talking, as demonstrated in an upcoming post.

As for who is paying for the increased amount of electricity that data centers are using, I am guessing you are trying to say that data centers by using so much electricity are costing consumers more money. Yes, that is how it works with supply and demand. ... Fossil fuels are in such demand for electricity the wait for natural gas turbines is like five years now. The USA needs to double its electricity production to win the AI war ASAP and with new gas greatly slowed down, ... I would prefer nukes
...
And while you are giving Europe its props for its "electrostate" status, you fail to notice that their electric costs are so high, they are effectively priced out of the AI race so thank God

If the USA (under the MAGA Fuhrer) want to burn fossil fuels, be it coal or gas and build multi-billion dollar boondoggle unproven SMRs and money-pit nuclear reactors and ignore the low cost renewables, as the cheapest form of energy production today, then. GOOD LUCK with that! Not too mention, it has probably lost the AI race already, if we are to believe your cooked up "theory", that based on electricity prices, that will determine, who will win the AI race or be most successful.

Keep in mind China and Europe's grids have already transitioned to 62% and 54% renewables, respectively. Renewables capacity doubles in first half (China) (July 31,2025) https://english.www.gov.cn/archive/s...f4e8f490d.html Solar leads EU electricity generation as renewables hit 54% https://electrek.co/2025/09/30/solar...it-54-percent/ The you. S not so much, at around 25% renewables.

BTW, where is your data to backup your claims?

So while you pose a interesting question, that takes "the race to AI success" and boil it down to a two-horse race, between the USA And China, based of electricity prices, unfortunately not buying into your premise that electricity prices, even close to being a key factor, let alone a mitigating factor. I think your argument is weak and flawed.

Simply put, your electricity argument...is an oversimplification, of who will succeed. There will be many key factors, that make up which companies / countries will win the AI race. And while the price of electricity maybe a one key factor, among many, nothing you've said, leads me to believe, it is the prevailing key factor, above all others, that will determine success.

[QUOTE=Spidy;3042280]What the hell...has your Fuhrer and FOXY Muse, got you believing in "Narco terrorists"? ...Hilarious!!!! How gullible do they think their audiences are?

Yeah, they [NOPARSE] have you believing the boogeyman "Narco terrorists" are coming to get ya from Venezuela, but the pardoning by your MAGA Fuhrer for several of the big drug traffickers (such as Juan Orlando Hernndez, fmr. Honduran Pres. as mentioned here several times here and has been in the news for the last several weeks), that has poisoned, drugged-up and killed untold Americans, with 360+ tons of cocaine, according to you, you apparently...KNOW nothin about it! Did I get that right?

Well by all means, continue to be brainwashed over at FOXY Muse! But if you're going to continue to debate the bigger threat w/r to drug trafficking, perhaps try doing a little homework. Does it not behoove you, to at the very least, Google the fmr. Honduran President? Or just stay ignorant?.[/QUOTE]How is it we share a country and you can actually believe the things you type? I have a strong hatred for you personally and usually I do play up the rhetoric because of the personal attacks you have sent me, but this just makes me feel so sorry for you.

Please go educate yourself on the cartels of Latin America. They kill tens of thousands of humans every year. They engage in human trafficking and they use their vast wealth to corrupt the politicians of Latin America. They are evil humans. This is not up for debate. Label them however you want, call them Narcos, drug dealers, Terrorists, entrepenuers, it doesn't matter. What matters is their actions. They kill, torture, rape, and terrorize thousands all over Latin America every year. I have absolutely no problem using the United States Military to kill them as a deterrence to hinder their activity. Anyone who doesn't suffer from TDS gets this immeadiately. Now we add in the two other major factors. Many of these cartels cut their drugs with fentanyl for easy profits which has deadly consequences for the user. So dumb I have to keep telling you this. Go count last year fentanyl poisonings. Go ask Robert Deniro about how he feels about fentanyl and how his son was poisoned to death by it. Cartels also traffic in massive numbers of illegal immigrants with vast criminal records. Many times this is done covertly with the governments of the home country to empty out the prison population because it is a financial burden on the state. I can't make this any more clear, the drug cartels of Latin America are evil and deadly force as a deterrent is 100% justified at this point. If you added up all the deaths from the last twenty years, it is probably in the millions at this point. How much longer should USA turn a blind eye and let the innocent be poisoned and murdered and raped?

I will also address Trump's comments on Rob Reiner's murder. Trump is 100% wrong and I am ashamed of his behavior and I truly wish he hadn't have said those things and I can't justify that behavior or even explain it. It does appear Trump truly does hate the extreme left.

That being said. Rob Reiner, his wife, and his son are all victims of drug cartels in a sense. Those drugs, "cocaine", rot your brain to the point where you are no longer in control of your emotions or behavior and his son was a long time drug addict. Hopefully these senseless murders shed light on the horrors of letting drug cartels run wild and poison our nation. Rob Reiner and his wife did not deserve this.

As for Juan Hernandez, sorry I work full time and I can't follow every story. I watched a few videos on him and I don't know it well enough to offer a valid opinion on. I will say that our own Law enforcement makes deals with drug dealers all the time to catch bigger fish or fullfill more important agendas. It is just part of the game. From what I have seen though, Hernandez was wrongfully convicted and Trump is backing him because he has played ball with the USA for a long time. It is what it is. I am not thrilled to read about it, but again if I have to choose between open border policy of the left and Biden and the border policy of Trump who is shady at times and says horrific things from time to time, it is still an easy choice. I choice to save lives and fight cartels and protect Americans from poison.

BTW cocaine addiction is a horrible thing. Its almost no better then fentanyl. Go look up the crack addicts of Kensington in Philadelphia if you think smuggling in cocaine is no big deal. Insane your even making this argument. At least try to stick to the legal aspects of when to use deadly force on non combatants in times of peace between nations like CNN does. You just go completely full TDS right from the go and try defend cocaine smugglers like its no crime at all and no one gets hurt from it LOL. You really should not even be allowed to post because you make you people look so foolish LOL.
