Political parties need votes from people, and voters do not like being murdered or seeing their countrymen killed. So you would expect all politicians to take their side on least on this. But when it comes to Democrats, you'd be wrong about that.
Houseguests and fish begin to smell after three days, as the saying goes. But ex-presidents who stay in Washington, D.C., reek almost immediately. In the history of the republic, former presidents have had the decency to get out of town rather than loom over their successor. The two exceptions appear to be Woodrow Wilson and Barack Obama. Wilson, however, has the excuse that he was practically bedridden and expired within three years. Obama has no excuse at all Obama cannot stand being out of the spotlight. During his second term, instead of focusing on building the Democratic Party, he created his own political organization. Before it flopped, he raised millions, diverting resources and organizing away from his party. This is a supposed political genius, yet his decisions opened a path to victory for Trump.
For months in early 2024, conservatives like myself tried to sound the alarm on President Joe Biden's declining physical and mental health. It was obvious that he was unwell. Yet, Democrats and much of the legacy news media ignored that reality and even attacked those of us who were willing to speak the truth. They claimed we were fabricating tales and spreading baseless conspiracy theories. Now, the narrative has changed dramatically. Journalists are publishing books and news articles detailing not only Biden's poor health but also an orchestrated cover-up inside the White House. According to one of the books, even one of Biden's closest former aides now admits that the commander in chief was "out of it" last year as he attempted to run for reelection.
... We find a useful referee in this war of words with the recently released Eye on the Market 15th Annual Energy Paper by Michael Cembalest, J. P. Morgan's chairman of market and investment strategy. As this 70-slide, deep-dive report pointedly notes, "after $9 trillion globally over the last decade spent on wind, solar, electric vehicles, energy storage, electrified heat and power grids, the renewable transition is still a linear one; the renewable share of final energy consumption is slowly advancing at 0.3%"0.6% per year [emphasis added]." One does not need a mathematics degree to understand that such anemic growth rates are not the hallmarks of an "unstoppable" juggernaut. Hence, Cembalest's bottom line: "Growth in fossil fuel consumption is slowing but no clear sign of a peak on a global basis." That is to say, no "energy transition" is in sight
P President Trump's address to a joint session of Congress tonight won't technically be a State of the Union message, but it will be close enough. Every president since Reagan has delivered such a speech at the beginning of his term, laying out plans for the next four years. Trump no doubt will have plenty of things to say about his future agenda. But unlike his predecessors, he'll already be able to point to accomplishments. Chief among them: ending the worst migration crisis in American"or perhaps world"history in just a few weeks.
#18. I thought a few here might appreciate hearing the criticism from a right leaning writer.
Apparently not you. You are always combative purely for the sake of being combative in hopes someone will fire back at your lonely ass.
