What does that moronic biased left wing fake news rag have to do with the subject of the thread?

If the election is called on Election Night, that means no fraud and Republicans control Congress. If it takes a few states a couple of weeks to certify their results that means the 2000 Mules have been working.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/florida-proceeds-ban-puberty-blockers-sex-reassignment-surgeries-minors Florida proceeds with ban on puberty blockers and sex reassignment surgeries for minors More evidence that Florida is the best educated state in the union. A puberty blocker might as well be called chemical castration, something the courts often require of paroled pedophiles. A minor is not permitted to by a firearm, alcohol, or get a tattoo in the state of Florida. And NOW Florida has decided minors will not be permitted to be CASTRATED or given a MASTECTOMY just because they might have read some pedophile literature a rogue school teacher in a blue county might have illegally given them.

Watch carefully. bunch a racists!

Democrats did this. Make them pay. Vote them out of office.

Here's how it will work: If the election is called on Election Night, it is going to be a massive electoral victory for Republicans. If some states want to take several days to count main in votes, (and run the fake vote printing presses) all bets are off.

Discrimination is as old as humanity itself. Humans very often find themselves discriminating against one another based on lots of factors: Appearance; intelligence, ability, training, etc The only discrimination that is illegal is that which is against the protected classes: race, creed, color, religion, sex, national origin.

There is NOTHING bigoted about the word FAG. It is a label, but it does not mean Democrat storm troopers will enter a neighborhood and roust out all same sex couples and put them in camps. You seem to have a problem with free speech.

3. High paying jobs returned from the Far East when Trump cut taxes on corporations. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/trumps-tax-cuts-jolt-manufacturing-jobs Offshoring is done primarily to cut costs. Companies DO NOT WANT TO SPEND THE CASH moving factories to the far east. It's expensive, and requires a lot of cultural boondoggles, since there are language issues. Thank Democrat policies for causing the cost of manufacturing (from burdensome regulations to mafia type union thugs) for making offshoring financially feasible. When I state that no Democrat has EVER expanded the American economy, I was being nice. Democrats are REALLY bad for the economy. (Florida has unions too. But our economy is the best in the country. Maybe that's because Florida is a right to work state, where close union shops are illegal.) If all money transactions were required to be made public, the Democrat Party would likely be completely out of power within a few election cycles. (Even the stupid Democrat voters would somehow grow a brain and understand dark money as well as loads of cash from Nazi sympathizer George Soros.) Why would getting rid of income taxes have to be accompanied by slavery? (Forcing food and housing providers to work for free is SLAVERY) Why not just CONTROL SPENDING? Right now, the welfare state takes up around 70 percent of the federal budget. https://www.investors.com/politics/policy-analysis/us-government-payments-to-individuals-70-of-budget/ Here's how to get out of it: Get Democrats OUT of power. PERIOD. They are the ones causing all the damage, all the misery, all the deficit spending, etc. Their policies account for the WORST economies in history. Elect more Trumps. Secure the border. Invest in the rule of law. https://cnsnews.com/commentary/stephen-moore/trump-economic-record-looks-better-every-day THAT'S how you solve the problem.

Trump's tax policies brought in more manufacturing jobs from the far east than ANY other president or Congress in history. He cannot be blamed for the Obama virus shutting down the economy. And Unelected Joe has made things much worse. Neoliberalism is a cancer. It is a revival of Nazism. The camps are only a few years away.

Trump was the best president in history.

Russia would never have DARED such at thing had LEGALLY ELECTED President Trump been inaugurated. It's about strength and competence of leadership. Carter's weakness led to the Soviets marching into Afghanistan. Reagan came in and defeated the USSR without firing a shot. It's about competence in leadership.

The Chinese actually have a system like that. They are even more thrifty. They get several hundred convicts in a row. Shoot them in the head and charge their relatives for the bullets.

I wouldn't be so hard on the American justice system. The problem is there are so many scumbags committing crimes. There are limited numbers of courts to hear their cases. There is a limited number of prisons to house those animals. And the death penalty is the most inefficient item on the menu, (taking years and MILLIONS OF DOLLARS before an animal is put down.) There are ways to include rape in the death penalty camp. Just make it rape of a minor, and the rapist won't last a month in prison. Or make it a white guy raping a black woman and he'll likely be dead in a week once inside. Same concept, a black man raping a white woman. I kinda have an alternative solution to this. Privatize the death penalty. Arm innocent citizens with instructions to shoot to kill, if threatened by a crime. (Actually, the Second Amendment already does that.) In Polk County, Florida, there is a Sheriff who has NO problem with a private citizen giving a car jacker or a home invader a quick dirt nap for his trouble. Personally, I don't believe much in the official death penalty. YES, certain scumbags deserve to die. But the justice system takes forever, costs a fortune and makes the public feel sorry for the scumbag. Florida could have spent around $80K to house Ted Bundy in prison for life. It cost 5 million to fry that son of a bitch.

Excuse me? Murdering someone is NOT simply being incapable of living in a civil society. Committing RAPE is not simple being incapable of living in a civil society. THESE ARE CRIMES. They are VIOLENT felonies, the one being a CAPITAL CRIME. The American criminal justice system is currently dealing with those animals the best it can.

Shell's profits are so high because Unelected Joe artificially slashed the supply of oil with those Executive orders. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/three-things-biden-has-done-that-increased-gas-prices https://americansforprosperity.org/biden-policies-raising-gas-prices/ Unelected Joe is the greatest gift of all time, to rich oil execs.

It will take the same 2000 mules that somehow gave PA to Biden, after Trump was ahead in the polls.

Yep. We lock up killers, rapists, armed robbers, etc. And their victims are safer because of it. As far as prisons being big business in America (if only that were even close to true) let me educate you on the legal system. Ever heard of the "plea bargain?" (Those working the system often call it a disposition.) Why do you think it exists? The answer is because there aren't enough courts and there aren't enough prisons in America. The system is so backlogged with arrests that plea bargains speed things up by bringing about a voluntary agreement that saves trial time. If there WERE a massive private sector prison system, totally independent of local prosecutors and Attorney's General, you might have a point. They only exist in fantasy land. I WISH we had at least TWICE the number of courts and THREE TIMES the number of prisons. That means no overcrowding, no backlog of cases and no plea bargaining. The guilty would get what they deserve and the public would be protected. Put another way, would you feel safer with murderers being let out on a cashless bail? So far, a lot of them have gone on to commit more murders while out on cashless bail. Fetterman is an idiot. And he has blood on his hands thanks to his pro MURDERER actions.

First, Biden should be in prison for this little item. Secondly, the last time the world was brought so close to a massive nuclear exchange was due to the incompetence and inaction of Jimmy Carter. His failure in the Iran hostage incident emboldened the Soviet Union to march into Afghanistan and DARE us to do anything about it. And Carter was RONALD REAGAN compared to the senile, unelected idiot we have in the White House today. You'd think America would learn from history. We are now closer than ever to that dreaded event, simply because this unelected idiot could stumble on to the nuclear codes and order the launch independently.

Mainstream Conservatives who reelected President Trump in a landslide (only to have the election overturned by fraud) are the most astute readers in America. You probably were referring to the goose stepping Woke types here, who rarely read a book they can't color in. The only cult is the one of the left, the one who worships senile pedophiles who steal elections.

I don't pretend to know how good a job Trudeau is doing. There's barely enough time to make ends meet in an Unelected Joe America. Unless Trudeau was caught funneling illegal aliens to America from Mexico, or if he started threatening us with nukes in his silos, I'm pretty much going to ignore him.

Apparently you have the reading comprehension skills of a typical idiot blue stater. I was giving you the HISTORY of the word fag. Of course, it means limp wristed swish who engages in sex with other men and children. And it triggers low information idiots. So there is a positive in using that word, occasionally. I don't smoke and I don't live in England.l As far as bigotry goes, the most bigoted assholes in the world are left wingers. You people make the KKK blush.

Both sides of the aisle have fringes, (kind of.) There is the alt right. They use the same identity politics that the left uses. Thing is, the mainstream left itself is a group of goose stepping ignorant extremists. The only sane people in America are the vast majority of mainstream conservatives. We're the ones who work for a living.

On July 23, 2021, Biden’s Department of Justice issued its Climate Action Plan, including an effort to “green” the fleet by transitioning to electric vehicles. By the end of July 2021, average national gasoline prices were 49 percent higher than December 2020, averaging $3.233 a gallon for the month. On August 5, 2021, Biden issued an executive order on “Clean Cars and Trucks” that established a new target to make half of all new vehicles sold in 2030 zero-emissions vehicles, including battery electric, plug-in hybrid electric, or fuel cell electric vehicles. The Executive Order also kicked off development of more stringent long-term fuel efficiency and emissions standards. On the same day, EPA issued its Clean Trucks Plan, announcing plans for further transportation emissions regulations targeted at heavy-duty trucks, aiming to shift markets in favor of zero-emission vehicles. On August 26, 2021, EPA issued a Proposed Rule on Passenger Car Emissions to heighten federal greenhouse gas emissions standards for passenger cars and light trucks by setting stringent requirements for reductions through Model Year 2026 to incentivize” technology to “encourage more hybrid and electric vehicle technology.” By the end of August 2021, average national gasoline prices were 50 percent higher than December 2020, averaging $3.255 a gallon for the month. On September 3, 2021, Biden’s Department of Transportation issues a proposed rule that would update the Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards for Model Years 2024–2026 Passenger Cars and Light Trucks to increase fuel economy regulations on passenger cars and light vehicles. The modeling calculated “fuel savings” by multiplying fuel price with ‘avoided fuel costs’ to disincentivize gasoline by making it more costly to afford ICE cars and trucks. By the end of September 2021, average national gasoline prices were 51 percent higher than December 2020, averaging $3.265 a gallon for the month. On October 29, 2021, the Bureau of Land Management announced the use of social costs of carbon in decision making for approving permits for oil and gas drilling. On October 30, 2021, the Department of Labor issued a final ESG Rule that would require fiduciaries to consider the economic effects of climate change and other so-called environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors when evaluating funds for retirement plans. The rule would strongly encourage fiduciaries to draw capital from domestic energy development in oil and natural gas to renewables. By the end of October 2021, average national gasoline prices were 56 percent higher than December 2020, averaging $3.385 a gallon for the month. On November 2, 2021, Biden administration led a “Global Methane Pledge” to reduce global methane emissions by 30 percent by 2030. Neither Russia nor China signed the pledge, increasing the world’s reliance on these two countries for energy-related imports and disadvantaging the U.S. oil and natural gas industry. On November 4, 2021, Biden committed to “ending fossil fuel financing abroad,” targeting the global fossil fuel industry, thereby disadvantaging them, which increases global oil and gas prices. Further, key countries, like China, did not sign the pledge, so the pledge harms signatories while empowering adversaries. On November 15, 2021, Biden’s Department of Interior announced plans to withdraw Chaco Canyon from oil and gas drilling for 20 years. On November 19, 2021, Biden endorsed several oil and gas provisions in the Build Back Better Bill, including a new tax on methane, of up to $1500 per ton; prohibiting energy production in the Arctic and offshore leasing on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) in the Atlantic, Pacific and Eastern Gulf of Mexico Planning Areas; increased fees and royalties for onshore and offshore oil and gas production; a new $8 billion tax on companies that produce, process, transmit or store oil and natural gas starting in 2023; limited ability of energy producers to claim tax credits for upfront and royalty payments in foreign countries – amounting to a tax increase on domestic energy producers; and a 16.4 cent tax on each barrel on crude oil – up from 9.7 cents – a $13 billion tax increase on oil production. On November 26, 2021, Biden’s Department of Interior issued its report on the Federal Oil and Gas Leasing Program includes recommendations to raise rents and royalty rates on oil and gas producers. By the end of November 2021, average national gasoline prices were 61 percent higher than December 2020, averaging $3.482 a gallon for the month. On December 8, 2021, Biden issued and executive order on a Clean Energy Economy that would artificially incentivize a push for a 100 percent electric vehicle fleet by 2035 including light vehicles by 2027, carbon-free electricity government-wide by 2030, and net-zero “federal operations” by 2050. On December 21, 2021, Biden’s Department of Transportation issued its Final Rule revoking Trump era actions which prevented California from arbitrarily becoming the national standard for fuel emissions. The rule set the stage for the administration to reinstate California’s waiver, and, since automakers do not make different cars for different states, the rule would allow California’s radical environmental policies to reach nationwide. On December 30, 2021, Biden’s EPA issued its Final Rule for increased “fuel efficiency standards.” According to the Final Rule, “These standards are the strongest vehicle emissions standards ever established for the light-duty vehicle sector. The rule, in responding to comments, claims “energy security benefits to the U.S. from decreased exposure to volatile world oil prices” suggesting that decreasing oil and gas production in the U.S. will result in less exposure to the international oil and gas market because they will be disincentivizing vehicles that use oil and gas. The rule also claims that it will result in “fuel savings” entirely due to less use of fuel. By the end of December 2021, average national gasoline prices were 57 percent higher than December 2020, averaging $3.413 a gallon for the month. On January 14, 2021, Biden nominated Sarah Raskin to serve as Vice Chair of the Federal Reserve. She was deemed so radical on her belief that fed policy should be dictated by environmental policy that she gained a bipartisan opposition and had to withdraw her nomination. By the end of January 2022, average national gasoline prices were 57 percent higher than December 2020, averaging $3.413 a gallon for the month. On February 9, 2022, a proposed rule on Coal and Oil Power Plant Mercury Standards would revoke a Trump-era rule that cut red tape on coal and oil-fired power generators. This would effectively reinstate Obama-era regulations which sought to increase regulations on coal and oil-fired power plants On February 21, 2022, the Biden administration paused working all new oil and gas leases on Federal land in response to a judge blocking their arbitrary use of social costs of carbon, unnecessarily hurting domestic oil and gas production. On February 28, 2022, the Ozone Transport Proposed Rule would expand federal emissions regulations over a wider geographic region and over a wider array of sources, including the gathering, boosting and transmission segments of the oil and gas sector. Integral energy production states like Nevada, Utah and Wyoming would be required to jump through more red tape. By the end of February 2022, average national gasoline prices were 66 percent higher than December 2020, averaging $3.592 a gallon for the month. Conclusion

For the educated posters here, (since it is apparent that your head is a hat rack, and you don't have the intelligence to debate something without insults) here's the deal when it comes to gasoline and oil pricing. (And those who were born longer than 10 years ago might get this. Oil speculators determine the price of oil and gasoline. They always have. And it's all about supply. If there is ANY hiccup in supply, the price will be bid up. If you wonder why the NeoCon presidents (Nixon, Ford, Carter, KKKlinton, Both Bushes, Obama,) paid so much attention to the Middle East it's because of oil speculators. If an oil tanker is torpedoed in the Strait of Hormuz, the price of oil will skyrocket. Shortly after Hurricane Katrina (when some oil derricks were destroyed in the Gulf Of Mexico) oil speculators were all set to jack up the price of a barrel of crude. What stopped them was the oil-man President George W. Bush, who INTELLIGENTLY released some oil from the Strategic Oil Reserve and calmed that market. Yes, Bush was the most centrist president in history (Pissing off the left and right at every turn) but he understood the concept of oil markets. As far as what Unelected Joe has done to the domestic energy industry (and Trump was the one who made America energy independent, here are some sources showing how Joe screwed us. https://www.instituteforenergyresearch.org/fossil-fuels/chronology-of-bidens-gasoline-price-hike/ Biden’s Actions Affecting Oil and Gasoline Prices To be continued.
