Even Odds

When President Brandon talked about the rising price of fuel and the hob that’s playing on the world economy at the big “climate” summit in Scotland…

…I asked myself – has he forgotten that his administration canceled Keystone XL and revoked exploration permits on federal land?

Or is he just assuming that Democrat voters aren’t bright enough to remember it?

  1. I’m not sure Democrats forget about Keystone XL as much as they actually want higher gas prices because their fantasy is that everyone bikes and takes trains everywhere. They think we’ll all magically submit to that lifestyle if gas prices are high. I think what they forget is that the rest of us can vote this out.

  2. A side note is that it’s not the Presdent’s job to determine whether people develop federal lands according to the law. The games that Presidents Obama and Biden are playing need to be flat out outlawed, with prison time for those who break it. With the government owning 34% of the land, you can’t have them being a capricious player in the markets without causing havoc.

  3. The truth is that Biden’s supporters don’t care about energy costs.
    I get a “morning briefing” email from the NY Times. This morning, it contained a longish bit about the class divide when it comes to voter concerns. Being the Times, and therefore completely w/o introspection, it characterized the social class divide as being based on education (liberals tend to be better educated).
    The truth is the divide is based on money, not education. People with more education make more money. They are more likely to have been raised in a family with more money. They vote like people with more money, not people who are better educated than other people.
    Anyway, the NY Times email (byline David Leonhardt) contained this paragraph:
    Pocketbook issues aren’t the only reasonable ones to decide a person’s vote. Other subjects, like climate change, civil rights, religious rights, abortion, immigration, crime, education and Covid-19, are important, too.

    How clueless do you have to be to make “global warming” your top concern when voting?

    Here is what Pew says were the top issues with voters in 2020:

    1 – Economy
    2 – Health care
    3 – Supreme court appointments
    4 – Covid-19
    5 – Violent crime
    6 – Foreign policy
    7 – Gun policy
    8 – Race and ethnic inequality
    9 – Immigration
    10 – Economic inequality
    11 – Climate change
    12 – Abortion

  4. liberals tend to be better educated

    I dispute that. Education could once be used as a measure of intelligence; college was expensive, and it took a guy out of the workforce for the duration of school so it only made sense if a guy were smart enough to make it a good investment.

    Today, higher education is a joke. At least 50% of the people are no where near smart enough to absorb a quality education, which is why we have so many poli-sci, and “studies” grads. Even the top tier schools are compromised. It’s true that many kids, otherwise not qualified, got into Harvard through legacies or outright payoffs, but today they’re taking 90 IQ chuds to darken the student body.

    Better educated? Not measured against someone who was educated when
    education meant academic rigor. They are better indoctrinated.

  5. The ACLU sez Biden was uninfomed when he said that the story about $450k payouts to illegals:

    President Biden “may not have been fully briefed about the actions of his very own Justice Department,” the ACLU charged Wednesday, after he labeled as “garbage” a news report that his administration is considering $450,000-per-person payouts to families separated after illegally crossing the US-Mexico border.

  6. BP is totally correct.

    I believe that I have posted this before, but a couple of years ago, Howard Root, the founder of Vascular Solutions, pointed out that twelve years ago, graduates of the University of Minnesota’s electrical engineering program, were cream of the crop and were in highest demand within industry. He lamented that over a time period of less than ten years, he noticed a serious decline in the knowledge level of those graduates, because they were allowed to take too many courses that had no relationship to engineering.

  7. All of our current crises are man made.

    –We stopped fracking and closed the keystone pipeline, hence energy costs are higher.

    –Cali passed laws about non union trucks, and higher emissions trucks, not being allowed to load up at the ports. Man made.

    Workforce shortages? Open the da*n schools so people can go back to work. Some dhimmi on the news today said work force problems will be solved with their spendulous bill. Never let a crises go to waste. The teachers unions are evil (I know you have teachers in your family Mitch, teachers are beautiful. Unions are evil)

    Inflation? All the gummint spending.

    I wish we had a smart troll like flash or angry clown, I would love to hear someone try to refute my points. Our troll will say something like “drumpf”, or “deathsantis”, or “white supremacy”.

  8. The teachers unions are evil (I know you have teachers in your family Mitch, teachers are beautiful. Unions are evil)

    Don’t know kin, judging by the amount of filmed rants by the “beautiful” teachers most of them are as evil as their union. All the good ones have been expelled by woke school boards and nixed by the unions.
