Neither of the two retards commenting in this thread read a lick of what the thread actually says before running their cock holsters.
Any deal to help bring down energy cost is a good deal.
In the OP it didn’t say how Korea was taking 50% of the profits until their investment was paid off. They are going to continue to take profits after their investment is paid off, but I’m not sure the percentage.
It is a long process to get approvals and permits to start construction
1. Early Site Permits: Approves a site for a potential plant before a construction application is filed.
2. Design Certification: Approves standard reactor designs through separate rulemaking.
3. Combined Licenses (COL): Authorizes both construction and conditional operation.
4. Safety Evaluations: Evaluates safety analyses via NRC staff and the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards.
This does not include all the lawsuits that will be filed.
Next administration will be in before the construction gets started and they will find a way to get the credit

It will be worth losing the house if Mike Rogers can win Michigan. Democrats keep pushing the limits on who they run in certain campaigns they end up losing. If Rogers doesn’t beat El-Sayed the 2032 election should be a seat the GOP should flip.

Is that what we're calling it?
The reason this is a never ending war is because we are at war with Hezbollah. We have showed them some of our weaknesses and they will use this for decades. Israel has been at war with Hezbollah for over 40 years. This will not end after we leave Iran.
The effects of the Iran War will be long lasting even when the price of gas diesel start to come down. It will take years for a majority of Americans to get back above water. Upper middle class and upper class very little or nothing is going to change for you. The war may not be never ending, but it has changed how a majority of Americans live their day to day life.
It doesn’t matter how you spin it inflation may be the root cause, but this has made it worse. After 22 months in office things should be getting better, but for a majority of Americans they don’t see a difference and for a lot it is worse.
re: CAN the Ukraine/Russia War be resolved diplomatically?

He ran on tariffs
How did that work out? The Supreme Court has struck down most of his tariff policies.
In a 6-3 decision by the Supreme Court
The Ruling: The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that President Trump overstepped his authority by using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose global import taxes.
Constitutional Limit: Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that the Constitution grants the power of imposing tariffs to Congress, not the executive branch.
The SC decision caused the US government to pay back billions of dollars and right now the government has lost billions in his EO tariff policies

Isn't the federal payroll smaller than it's been in years?
In 2024 we had 2,313,216 federal employees. This number includes postal and intelligence employees.
In 2026 we have 2.04 million federal employees plus another 601,000 postal and plus the number of intelligence employees.
In 2024 we had 533,000 postal workers and now we have 601,000
In 2024 482,000 VA employees
In 2026 430,000
In 2024 106,000 Treasury
In 2026 70,100
In 2024 DHS 260,000 to 280,000
In 2026 260,000+

2024 1,284,000 active duty
Today 1,350,000+ active duty
Not much has actually changed
In the amount of federal employees. We have cut back on contractors and increased AI.

Brought to you by the President Hillary and Kamala polling groups.
If the polling is off and it’s actually 30% that’s still really high.
When Bernie ran against Hillary in the 2016 primary and was doing really good that should have been a sign for both parties on what direction the country was heading. The the left part of the Democrat party accepted it and started changing. The middle and right side of the party is stuck with it. A lot of the right side of the Democrats are now independents. A lot of the independent former Democrats voted for Trump. Now Trump is driving these Independent’s back to the Democratic Party and they are accepting the Democrat platform.
It’s only going to get worse

Is there anything else you can name? His other term had lots of federal spending so that can't be it.
A few things
1. Bring back manufacturing jobs
January 2023 there were 12.9 manufacturing jobs. Today 12.6
2. End inflation. This year inflation has increased more than the wage increase
3. Ukraine and Russia war
4. Gas prices
5. 3% interest on loans
6. End regulations on buying homes
7. Bring down health care costs. Healthcare costs are up 26% since January 2025
8. Economic growth went down in 2025 and it is down even more this year

Each state sets their own standards. That means the test in Illinois could be harder or easier than other states.
When it comes to the national reading levels Illinois is ranked 7th. 8 million of the states 12.5 million live in Chicago, so I’m guessing there state standard test is probably harder than most.
NAEP National reading ranking
Georgia #17
Tennessee #20
Louisiana #28
Missouri #33
Arkansas #37
South Carolina #40
Mississippi #41
Florida #43
Texas #44
Alabama #45
Oklahoma #47
Over the last 10+ years Mississippi has had the highest increase for 4th grade levels. They have went from the bottom to top 10.

In southwest Missouri I get some of the commercials for the Kansas Senate race. The GOP commercials are terrible. Republican Senator Marshall isn’t running a lot of ads against his opponent (D)Hamilton. It’s just ads against the national democrat party and how their values don’t represent who we are. In one of his ads it doesn’t say his name.
Hamilton’s ads are focused more on the people of Kansas. The attack ads are very good and get to the point quick.
There are 4 to 5 Hamilton ads for every Marshall ad.
Hamilton’s ads are on YouTube TV, Prime, Tubi, and other streaming services. I’ve only seen Marshall’s ads on YouTube TV when I’m watching local stations.
Hamilton could pull off the upset. Either way it’s a lot closer than it should be.

re: On the subject of civid vaccines damaging large numbers of people
Posted by MizzouBS on 9/14/26 at 4:46 pm to Louisianalabguy
Over 5.3 billion people have had at least 1 vaccination. That’s about 70% of the world’s population.
Not sure there is a worldwide issue with the COVID vaccine yet, but if there is it would be on every news outlet. That would be to big of a secret to keep out of the news all over the world
I have 2 kids and know a lot of their friend’s families and I don’t know one kid that got a vaccine. There were 30+ kids on my son’s youth football team and none of them had a vaccine

Iran will run out of tankers before the rest of the world does.
Most people don’t know the difference between Hezbollah and Iran.
Hezbollah is Arabic and Iran is Persian. Hezbollah is an Arabic terrorist organization and Iran is the country. Iran started paying Hezbollah in the early 80’s to fight Iraq and have been stuck with them ever since. They can’t get them out of their country and are basically forced to continue to pay them. Hezbollah don’t care about the Iranian people. Hezbollah is made up of people from Lebanon and Syria. Iranians and Hezbollah don’t even speak the same language.
It doesn’t matter what deals we make with Iran Hezbollah will continue to put mines out and attack tankers and ships.
To stop this conflict we have to take out Hezbollah. Hezbollah only has about 50,000 fighters, but they are trained better more than the Iranian army.
MAGA/America First is an idea with a following. Very little policy is being made in Trump’s presidency and almost no long term change is being made. Everything he has accomplished is through EO’s.
Republicans can’t wait until he is out of office even if they have to sit through 4 to 6 years of Democrats leading the House and Senate.
MAGA will be gone like the Tea Party

The Iranian constitution tasks the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) with an ideological mission of jihad to expand God’s sovereignty worldwide.
Iran is a Persian country that made the mistake of hiring Arabs(Hezbollah) to help fight Iraq in the 1980’s. Hezbollah won’t leave Iran until they are forced out and then the people can take back their country. To truly end this war Hezbollah has to be taken out in Lebanon and Syria. Hezbollah fighters are not from Iran and don’t speak the same language as Iranians.
We can bomb and destroy everything in Iran and that won’t make a huge difference as long as Hezbollah is still around. Israel has been fighting against Hezbollah for over 40 years and the country of Iran off and on for about a year, but their main target is still Hezbollah.
Trump made the mistake of fighting Iran and not taking out Hezbollah
The Iranian people are not dumb and low IQ. The average IQ of an Iranian man is over 106. The average in the US is under 100. Iran would be a thriving country and probably an ally without the Arab terrorist controlling their country.
re: How many of the ‘unvaxxed’ regret not taking the covid shot?
Posted by MizzouBS on 7/18/26 at 10:13 am to weagle1999
Over 5.5 billion people have had at least 1 vaccination. How COVID effects certain people and their immune system is different. It’s not like other viruses the symptoms or lack there of are different.
Some families need it. Their immune system don’t fight COVID like most people’s. My family has people that have died, lost limbs, extended stays in the hospital, and have had slower recoveries. I know I have had it at least 5 times. The last time I thought I was dying and it took about 3 months to fully recover. I’ve never taken the shot, but I know almost all the older people in my family get the shot.
I think people have it all the time and don’t know they have. The first time I had COVID I had a headache for about 4 hours. Each time my symptoms have been different.
When my daughter was 10 she had it and her symptoms were much worse than most older adults. I had a uncle that was in the nursing for 3 months and he was only 69.
No body in my dad’s family has ever had heart disease, Alzheimer’s, or any major diseases that other families deal with. If someone dies in their 60’s to early 70’s in my family it is because of smoking. I have alot of 80 year olds and 90 year olds in my family.
