Midterms...... the sad reality of politics.


Americans don't have a long range strategic mindset. Other countries like China have long range generational thinking.

The only multi-generational operation that the U.S. has managed was the cold-war containment strategy that went on for decades.

I don’t personally know one black person out stealing hubcaps or getting in fights at the buffet. All are educated and have professional careers.


Yes, there is a segment of blacks who have escaped the mental prison that leftists built for them.
Good on them.

Unfortunately for the others, they remain prisoners and the left wants to keep them there because that's how they get their power.

After decades of school integration, affirmative action, Section 8 housing, food stamps and other opportunities, this demographic has largely failed to take advantage of what has been offered. In many cases they have outright rejected it and prefer to live in a less civilized way.

To be fair, a group within the demographic has embraced civilization and the opportunity that came with it, i.e, Ben Carson, Thomas Sowell, Clarence Thomas, Victor Glover and many more who are our friends, neighbors, and productive citizens. It's a shame for them that so many of their group have rejected civilization.
You can feel the embarrassment from the one kid who was clearly civilized and walked away.

tech companies are increasingly building or contracting for their own power sources rather than relying solely on the traditional electrical grid


True.

They are building their own private utilities.

But their generators still burn the same fuel your traditional utility has to buy.

I’m concerned about the price of oil right now.


Me too. Because of the potential effect on the midterms.

I'm willing to buy in that a reckoning with Iran was eventually going to be necessary but I'm not sure it had to be now.
quote:

Please try to make us see how constricting energy, on a global scale, thereby constricting global logistics, is a wise energy play.


Constricting isn't the play at all. I don't know if I can free you from your mind prison. All I can say is that keeping Iran from having sole control of the straight is an anti constricting energy play even if it causes temporary spikes.

Unlike the current administration, leftists want less energy use and would be happy for Iran to be in charge.

It's is the difference of heading in the right direction but hitting potholes along the way and being on a smooth road to a bad place.
