... Few Americans, including only a third of Republicans, approve of President Donald Trump's plan to hold mixed martial arts cage matches at the White House on Sunday to celebrate U.S. history, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found.

Just 16% of Americans said it was appropriate for Trump to hold the Ultimate Fighting Championship event, scheduled for his 80th birthday, while 46% said it was inappropriate and the rest didn't offer an opinion.

Only 31% of Republicans considered it appropriate, a small share considering that eight in 10 Republicans approve of Trump's overall performance in the White House, according to the six-day poll, which concluded on Monday. ...

His name on the Stimulus Checks, His Face on the proposed $250 Bill, The Trump Kennedy Center Brewhaha, the 250 foot Arch to be built in DC,the Ballroom Debacle.

Trump started an Illegal War of Aggression by MURDERING the Entire Iranian Leadership while Negotiations were ongoing.

Trump has Gutted the Endangered Species Act for "National Security".

All of these Obscene policies done With ZERO input from Congress or the Courts.

Trump is Easily the Most AUTHORITARIAN President Ever.

No other President of Either party comes close to his record of Contempt for Rule of Law and the Electorate.

Then there's ICE and the Illegal deportations for protected 1st amendment speech,the MURDERS OF Americans engaging in Legal protests.

The Weaponization of the Legal System to Persecute Anyone he finds Annoying or Resistant to his policies.

The Pardons of Criminals he Admires

34 Felony CONVICTIONS, not Charges, CONVICTIONS.

Two Impeachments.

Trump is a TYRANT.

35% of the Country WORSHIPS the ground he walks on.

America is as bad as 1940s Germany.

Well, yeah, does sound impressive until you realize why/the reality: Between 2010 and 2025, over 500 coal-fired power plants were shut down in the United States. The total number of operational coal plants dropped from 518 to just under 200 units. Difference is that those coal fired plants were capable of carrying the base load which solar and wind cannot.

FYI:
Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org wiki Base_load
The base load [2] (also baseload) is the minimum level of demand on an electrical grid over a span of time, for example, one week.

Further Infio concerning, can wind and solar carry the base load
AI Overview Yes, but not on their own. Because wind and solar are intermittent"producing power only when the sun shines or the wind blows"they require backup and storage to reliably meet the continuous, 24/7 electricity demands historically provided by fossil fuels or nuclear energy

"There is no free money in solar panels"

Do the math.
System costs $15K.
System produces $2K electricity per year.
After 7.5 years you are getting a free $2K a year.

And if you think power rates won't go up in 7.5 years, the best explanation for that is a complete societal collapse and no grid to buy power from. At which point, you'll really want those solar panels to have any electricity at all. And as a bonus, you'll get to play with your guns as you defend your home from the roving gangs of solar panel thieves!

Re 21

So you have $200 a month to work with.

Take that $200 monthly charge that you HAVE to pay anyway and use it to pay for a loan for some solar panels. Get just enough that will drop your monthly energy cost to zero. ( sorry YOU do the math) And use that $200 a month to pay off the loan. And when the panels are paid off you will actually make a $200 (plus) profit every month forever after. (Depending on the life of the panels of course)

Don't have the numbers right here. The return on investment was about 10-15% depending. The payback period of roughly 6 to 10 years, depending on my energy usage, local electricity rates, and home location. I am thinking it was ten years when I bought it.

But I will tell you my energy costs right now including the monthly cost of the panels is less than I was paying before I had the panels installed. And it only gets better as time goes on. And honestly you can get even much better deals now.

As is always the case, the accusations during the Biden years were admissions.

Trump is clearly mentally declining and is in a dangerous, unstable place.

And the right is silent.

Pentagon locked down, for 'hazardous materials incident.'

The Pentagon is an office building. It shouldn't really have a lot of hazardous materials in it.

Then again, if it's a fire or something, who knows what kinds of building codes the Department of Defense had to adhere to in 1947.

"Trump is the GOP's Bill Clinton." Bellringer

To the extent that they were both powerful men who had sex with females, you are correct.

Clinton had a lot of faults, and his presidency may in the long run have done more harm than good to Black citizens (see the prison industrial complex and what fed it for decades), but after that, things fall apart.

Solar Generates More Energy in US Than Coal

Re 16

Yeah. The system did come with a "lifetime guarantee " but I am hoping to not transfer any contracts if I sell. If I haven't paid them off by the time I sell my home I will just pay it off then. The solar panels will just be a part of the home. If the new owners wish a contract that up to them. That's their option. The only deal the new owners will HAVE to make then is with PG&E. Hopefully.

As I said I am not planning on selling. But you never know what the future might bring.

The panels do cost money to retrieve that free energy. Duh.

So how much "free energy" do you need to retrieve prior to realizing a gain from said retrieval devices?

The simple question is what's your ROI?

Trump and Hegseth Broadcast U.S. Strikes Before They Happen

Pedo47 and Keghead have no idea how to win this war.

If they did, they would have won it already.

What they did do was believe that the US would win the war easily because they have purged all the dissenting voices out of the chain of command. There is no one there to present them with scenarios other than their own. That is why they are losing this war. Sure they're blowing up Iranian school children and civilian water facilities, but they are nowhere close to Iran surrendering. Iran's military leadership is layered with redundancy and decentralized command structures to ensure it will live on when any part of the chain of command is taken out. The idiots in charge did not understand that.

Now we are constantly lied to with "Iran is begging to surrender" and "We are 2-3 days/weeks away from them surrendering".

Pissing away hundreds of billions of dollars and getting humiliated on the world stage on a daily basis all because the racist in the oval bordello could not accept the fact that they black guy got the Iranians to agree to no nuclear bombs.

"Did the Republicans make him get the Nazi tattoo?"
You think a tattoo someone got in the military sets their political agenda in stone.
Did Republicans teach you critical thinking skills?

#41 | Posted by snoofy

Maybe some liberal ones, way back when, when they existed.

If I'm running for political office in this environment and don't want to be branded a Nazi sympathizer, I'd have ditched the tattoo long ago, even with my own apparent lack of critical thinking skills.

I don't even know how old this guy is, but when did he get the tattoo? Was it part of US political discourse at that time? Maybe it's not a political statement at all.

Christ, even my homeboy Pete Davidson (whom I've only heard about, never watched his shtick) knows to ditch the tats when they're no longer useful. I wouldn't consider him a deep thinker.

I think that we are in the phase where reality catches up with you.

Yes, but transferring the contract takes many hours of back and forth and waiting on hold with Tesla. Ask me how I know!

"The biggest downside of rooftop solar is it complicates selling your home."

My solar panels have added equity to my home. It's worth more with solar panels. You are guaranteed cheep energy if you live here. It's a positive selling point. It's also why I am not moving anytime soon. I also like cheep energy!

The only thing I need now is a battery backup. Still waiting for the price to come down on that.

The emerging technologies for battery backups include using EV batteries after the car is taken off the road and sodium ion batteries that are far cheaper and last longer than Lion batteries.

You are simple incapable of abiding an opposing viewpoint.

Still playing this bulls*&^ "difference of opinion" nonsense.

Trump and MAGA are repugnant. They're unAmerican s*&^ and so are you for sticking up for them and agreeing with them.

I am far more critical of Trump than you are of any Democrat. Here you are sipping for a human POS ion Platner.

I've said nothing of my views of Platner. I'm pointing out that given your support of Trump and the repugnant worldview you espouse you have ZERO room to critique ANYBODY.

Is that clear? It's not "mere disagreement." Your worldview is repulsive and indicative of someone without moral fiber or sound character.

On a personal level he's a POS. On policy he's a mixed bag.

I'm not addressing this pure hot garbage point by point because he isn't a "mixed bag." He is an incessant pile of immoral, corrupt s*&^ who is enriching himself and his buddies at every turn while running up our national debt and blatantly violating the law and Constitution multiple times a week.

You sit here and talk about this stuff like it's 1996 and the differences are simply political and both are interested in the betterment of the country and its citizenry such that compromise is reached and policies crafted that reflect the input from both sides.

In reality, that couldn't be further from the truth. This administration is gutting our Republic as we know it and they provided the exact framework for doing so during the campaign and blatantly lied to the citizens about implementing it. You simped for them when they did so and now refuse to acknowledge your role in destroying our Republic and Constitution while clutching your pearls about how supposedly patriotic you are.

So f*&^ off with this nonsense.

Solar energy is free. The panels do cost money to retrieve that free energy. Duh.

I have a small generator for those rare occasions when the power goes out. It's currently much cheaper and easier to maintain than a battery backup.

Where I live in California my power has been stable for years now. Haven't used the generator for at least 2 years now.

Trump and Hegseth Broadcast U.S. Strikes Before They Happen

"In case you were wondering just how much of a warmonger Donald Trump is, he posted a very lengthy screed on Truth Social tonight which told us exactly what he plans to do.

Now, I'm not going to read this whole thing, but I do want to go over the first four paragraphs because his desire to use the power of the United States military has never been more obvious. Here is what he said:

"No other president has ever been more committed to both rebuilding our great military and saving our great country. And now is the time to make it happen for generations to come."

And obviously Trump is once again portraying himself as the savior of America.

"I am hereby calling on Republicans in Congress to immediately advance and pass the forthcoming 350 billion dollar reconciliation bill recon 3.0 which at the request of our great department of war will include the Save America Act as well.

No games, no delays, no weak compromises. Do this ASAP. This is a generational investment in our military, even bigger than President Reagan's.

Recon 3.0 is the only path to the full $1.5 trillion dollar military budget our warriors need in order to build the arsenal of freedom."

"We will defend the homeland with the Golden Dome. Launch the unstoppable Golden Fleet, dominate the skies with the F47 and B-21, supercharge our ammunition stockpiles, and achieve total space force and drone dominance."

So, make no mistake about it. Donald Trump has not been promoting a $1.5 trillion defense budget in order to not use it."

"Free money" Like all the government entitlement programs?

There is no free money in solar panels unless some company comes and installs your system for free. And it get's worse if you want to run while the grid is down. Needs batteries.
