…where we turn over control over “concern about the deficit and national debt” from one party to the other.
UPDATE: Also the date many of us become “domestic terrorists” in the eyes of the ruling party and Media (ptr).
UPDATE 2: On the other hand, today is the beginning of the period where Covid will be recognized as something that, between natural immunity and vaccines, will burn itself out and cease to be a national health crisis.
But mean tweets, Doctor.
Gas is steadily climbing though; ready for 6 dollars a gallon sports fans?
You REALLY do not want to know the implications of shutting down Keystone XL, which is what apparently Bidon promised to do the very first thing he straps into the high chair behind the resolute desk.
President Biden has been sworn in.
Excuse me a moment, I have to go outside to lower the flag to half-mast.
At my Medicare physicals the nurse asks me to recall three objects after five minutes. Perhaps that ought to be part of the Presidential Inauguration. Five minutes into it Joe has to spit out the words without a teleprompter or “Doctor” Jill whispering it in his ear. I’m not sure I could pull it off but I’m not running for President. In my medical practice we had mandatory retirement at age 75. For good reasons. I believe the lockdowns and masking will continue for the foreseeable future. Too tempting not to exert total control over the population. Besides, half the voting public is either dead or willing to act that way. I’m signing up for a Covid vaccine clinical trial. I think that takes getting the approved vaccines out of reach for now. Figure if I talk the talk, I should walk there as well.
jpa, there are some whispers of possible good news on the keystone, apparently unions and other working class dems (didn’t know they still existed) are pushing back against that
I’ll just never get over that some of you mortgaged all of your political and social standing to defend and make excuses for a guy so narcissistic and idiotic he had to edit a hurricane map with a sharpie so that it matched something he tweeted the day before.
Look at yourself.
Your evil President is now an ex-President, you were defeated, fairly, honestly and openly. I am taking this break from taking a break from your lies to make it clear, no one believes the lies of Trump, it should be embarrassing that you did so, including making comments as, say, not a doctor, that immunity (in part) will squelch COVID. The fact-based world recognizes that COVID, like the flu, will mutate, and likely will require new immunization. I suspect you say it because you don’t want to credit President Biden (GOD that feels good to say), with success where Trump utterly failed and to take away from Biden, in your sophistry, his success in the face of Trump’s utter incompetence, but be clear, this disease is and was real, it wasn’t invented by the Dems, it didn’t (and won’t) magically disappear, your pronouncements notwithstanding.
So, on this day, and on topic so you have no excuse for censorship, accept that you embraced terrorists if not terrorism (which I accept you did not intend but still did occur) and that we face darker months ahead, not the disappearance of this disease, largely because of the ignorance and indifference which you and others who share your views, have displayed.
Trump out, Biden in, Pad back . . . man, has this day gone downhill.
Lol Joe
Biden: I will be president for all Americans. Except republicans.
And the hits just keep on coming.
Last week, I bought 1,000 rounds of Lake City .223 Rem at $1.12 per round in anticipation of Biden banning ugly black rifles, so I could sell them to instant criminals on the undocumented market.
Today, I could buy 1,000 Lake City M193 5.56 x 45 NATO for $0.93 per round.
Might as well have invested in tulip bulbs. Geez, what next?

Doesn’t Warren Buffett still own a big chunk of one of the railroad companies? It was never a surprise why the Left and one of their big donors oppose Keystone, since oil pipelines affect the bottom line of the railroads.
“Excuse me a moment, I have to go outside to lower the flag to half-mast.”
I just doxxed my house…hoisted a black flag, and it will stay there until the dust settles, one way or the other.
Breaking news. Pedo Joe’s first act was to halt construction of the border wall (that Trump supposedly never built), and lifted the travel ban from terrorist supporting countries.
Then he took a nap.
Prepare yourselves for a tsunami of Somalians the likes of which you’ve never seen.
👆Tell us again about Trump’s imaginary second term….
Emery-“Trump has fled the scene of the crime..” What crime, Emory? Won’t hold my breath with your track record of providing proof or your assertions…
Say Reek? Tell again about you gliding the birkie *snicker*
So, on this day, and on topic so you have no excuse for censorship, accept that you embraced terrorists if not terrorism
Paddy’s a real nuanced thinker. Setting aside that I’m still waiting on Emery to point to the part of Trump’s 6 Jan speech where he supposedly incited a riot, it sounds like Paddy is equating people who remain skeptical about election integrity with the criminals who broke into the Capitol. It’s a politically inspired move: Equate people peacefully voicing their opinion with a violent mob, and you can shut down dissent. We’ve come a long way from the ACLU defending the Nazis’ right to march through Skokie.
I mean, on one hand, his post is one of the shorter ones I’ve seen, but maybe he needs those extra pages to show us his nuanced thinking.
We might joke that the shutdown of the Keystone XL project is good news for the rail and truck workers who will be hauling all that oil instead of a far safer and environmentally sound pipeline.
I’m wondering when the legal bomb is going to drop on that one. You’ve got the environmental and the contract issues going on there.
bike, what about international implications. Canada sank quite a bit of moolah into the venture already. But then who cares about international relations and screwing your neighbours when it is much more important to feed the TDS crowd.
And do you think Canada will come back? I am sure their next step will be to accept yuan as their defacto currency and build a pipeline through rockies and send crude to their new overlords across the pacific. Everybody wins!

I’ve noticed social media is awash with clapping seals who think shutting down Keystone XL is good for the environment. Uh, no, that oil is still being transported. But you hit the nail on the head as far as the environmental advantages of the pipeline. If the pipeline leaks, flow sensors can help locate the leak and automated valves can stop the flow. When a train carrying oil derails and tanker cars are breached, the entire contents of the car can leak, depending on the size of the breach.
To borrow from Milton Friedman, why not scrap the pipeline, rail cars, and trucks, and reduce unemployment to 0! We’ll just have a continuous caravan of workers walking from Canada to the US with a backpack containing 1-2 gallons of oil each.
I spent a summer driving a Kenworth truck in the badlands of North Dakota. Crude oil was pumped out of the ground, stored in tanks, and trucked to the pipeline head in Williston, from whence it ran east past Minot, Devil’s Lake and Grand Forks to a junction at Clearbrook near Bemidji, then turned south and continued to that smelly oil refinery south of the Twin Cities on Hwy 52 in Coates.
This was 40 years ago and pipeline technology has only gotten better. The claimed environmental threats of a new pipeline are a ruse. The oil is going to be transported somehow, and the most economical alternative is rail. Guess who owns a giant stake in oil tanker rail cars?
