Fossil Fuels & the Economy

The economies of the world run on energy.  Fossil fuels provide the majority of the energy to fuel these economies.  Without fossil fuels, economies decline, jobs disappear, inflation balloons, and the standard of living declines. 

Industry is dependent on transportation which is dependent on gasoline and diesel fuel.  Many products including asphalt roads use petroleum.  We need gas to heat our homes.  Electric vehicles and electric heat are not the answer as the majority of the electricity used is produced by coal and gas.

Batteries to store energy are a problem.  The minerals used to produce them are often mined in countries that are not our friends.  Disposing of the old batteries is also a major problem.  At this time they cannot be recycled and disposal is a major threat to the environment. 

In France, there is a junkyard full of electric cars.  The batteries have given out, and it is too expensive to replace the batteries.  These cars sit in a junkyard because no one will take the old batteries.  They are too toxic, so they just sit and drain into the ground.  At this time there is no solution for the problem. 

The same is true for wind turbines and solar panels.  Everything wears out at some point and what do we do with it?  They are not recyclable and we don’t have or want adequate solid waste sites.  We are not addressing these problems. 

The United States has enough fossil fuel resources to supply our energy needs for hundreds of years.  We need to continue to work on identifying and refining alternative energy sources, but it will be many decades before they will be a viable and dependable source of energy. 

Restricting our production of fossil fuels has caused an increase in gasoline prices and inflation.  It also played an important part in reducing our influence to stop Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

This political war on fossil fuels is a major part of the Green New Deal.  The climate change movement is totally delusional.  Globalists know it is a joke, but are using it to create a new world order and redistribute wealth. 

Is there climate change? Of course.  There has been since the earth was formed and will continue until the earth ends.  The delusion is to think MAN is the cause or can control it. 

I have been watching the so-called climate science for over a decade because I had friends and relatives on both sides of the issue.  I have found zero scientific facts showing man-made emissions cause climate change.  The Left avoids the issue now by saying the science is clear and no longer open to debate.

It is time we stop dancing around this climate hoax and open up fossil fuel production as we continue to work on renewable energy sources.

Oscar Slap

 A movie star slapped a comedian at this year’s Oscars.  Who cares?

The Oscars have been going downhill and ratings have been dropping for decades.  The Oscars were bad, but when they started to be political, they lost half of their remaining audience.  Why do they cater to a delusional WOKE minority?  This has to be a losing agenda. 

The Oscars had another problem as the quality and interest in motion pictures has declined.  Pictures have  gotten political, turning off the audience.  The great movies and movie stars are a thing of the past.  There are no John Waynes or Elizabeth Taylors.  

The Oscars have proven themselves irrelevant, so why is the news giving this incident so much coverage?  The media should be covering numerous problems facing the country like:

·       Election integrity

·       Bloated federal government

·       Establishment bureaucrats with no accountability

·       Corruption at the highest levels of our government

·       High gas prices

·       Run-a-way inflation

·       An open border

·       Government spending

·       Government debt

·       Energy dependence

·       Crime out of control

·       Drugs killing thousands

·       Blacks killing blacks

·       War in Ukraine

Is a slap at the Oscars just a diversion to make people ignore our real problems?  Or was the slap staged to create interest in a dying awards event? 

          

We must fight for fair elections and take control back from the DC establishment and Deep State.  These are the first steps to take back this country.

Kamala Harris

Kamala Harris is probably the dumbest person to ever serve in a high political office.  It is a travesty that she represents us as our Vice President.  

Kamala’s record as attorney general of California was unimpressive as was her record as a U.S. Senator.  She was the most extreme Leftist in the Senate.  She was a total disaster in her run for President.  She could not even register a couple points in the polls.

Harris has made a lot of mistakes in her political career, and she never seems to learn from them.  She still laughs with that witch’s cackle at totally inappropriate times.  Her speeches show she has no knowledge of economics or how things work.  She can’t deliver a coherent speech, and I don’t think it is the fault of her speech writer.  She can’t seem to keep any competent staff.  I would jump ship too if I were them.  It’s like Kamala is trying to self-destruct.  

We have had many career politicians whose primary goal was personal financial gain.  Joe Biden, Hilary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, and Dianne Feinstein are just a few who have made millions in politics.  They may have been corrupt and immoral, but they were not dumb.  Kamala is just plain stupid.

Harris accused Biden of a racist history in the Presidential debates, which is true.  Biden is a racist and segregationist, but why would he pick her as his VP?

Kamala’s assignments since becoming vice president have been voter integrity, our southern boarder, and the war in Ukraine.  She has been a total failure with all.  What is she doing with her time?

She always says something meaningless like she is addressing the root cause.  The root cause of most, if not all, of the problems our country faces today are the result of  Biden’s policies. 

Kamala’s dismal failure in her job certainly does not deserve any respect, but she does not agree.  She complains when people do not stand when she enters a room.  This is ridiculous, and of course, she claims it is because everyone is racist. 

Her speeches abroad have been an embarrassment.  She is an embarrassment for Biden, our government, the American people, and our allies.  She is an embarrassment to all women and people of color.  

Kamala should never be allowed to leave the country.  It would be even better if she was locked in a basement.  Hiding in a basement worked for Biden.

Why did Biden pick her for his VP?  She had zero qualifications except she was a woman of color.  Maybe it is because she is so dumb that she makes feeble minded Biden sound smart.

Did Biden pick Kamala for vice president as an insurance policy?  With Biden’s obvious dementia, I never expected him to make it through the first year.  He could have been impeached, removed under the 25^th Amendment, or he could have died in his sleep.  None of these seem very attractive with Kamala Harris as Biden’s successor. 

Spiro Agnew was President Nixon’s first VP.  He had to be replaced by Gerald Ford before impeachment proceedings started causing Nixon to resign.  Are there plans to remove and replace Kamala?

               

We must fight for fair elections and take control back from the DC establishment and Deep State.  These are the first steps to take back this country.

Phone Etiquette

 When I was General Manager of Duffy’s Collectible Cars my phone habits got pretty bad.   I got to the point where I was not saying hello or goodbye.  I would just say “Terry” when I answered and hang up when I was done.  Thankfully someone pointed this out to me so I could correct my bad habits.    

 

In the chapter on “Customer Service” in my book Business Fits, I address returning phone calls. 

 

The most important lesson in customer service is that when there is a problem, we must talk to the customer the same day.  No exceptions.  Prompt communication is essential. 

 

When I took over as plant manager for a recreational vehicle plant, I discovered some employees were not returning phone calls.  When I asked them about it, they said they knew what the person wanted and didn’t have an answer yet.  I told them that returning the call was more important than the answer.  As described in the book, I took extreme actions to correct the problem. 

 

A couple things that are common with bad phone etiquette involve leaving voice messages.  The first is how people speak very clearly and slowly when leaving a message until they get to leaving their phone number.  That is rattled off so fast that it is impossible to understand.  People should say the phone number slowly and distinctly, and REPEAT IT. 

The second thing is to wait a couple minutes after leaving a message.  Sometimes a person just can’t get to the phone in time and will call back immediately after hearing the phone message.  It is very frustrating to call back and not get an answer.  If the call is worth making, it is worth waiting a few minutes after leaving the message. 

 

Some world leaders now will not take a call or return a call from President Biden.  Is this bad phone etiquette, or is it just because he is a joke and no longer considered a world leader?  How did we get in this mess?

       

We must fight for fair elections and take control back from the DC establishment and Deep State.  These are the first steps to take back this country.

A Frightening Thought

I have a scary thought for you.  The people that are in charge of our involvement in Ukraine are the same people who were in charge of the withdrawal from Afghanistan.

The Afghan withdrawal was a total disaster.  Biden could not have screwed it up any worse if he was trying.  Maybe he was.

Americans and Afghan interpreters died.  Americans and Afghan interpreters and their families were left behind and are still there if they are even still alive. 

We surrendered Bagram military airfield to the Taliban.  We also surrendered $80 billion in military supplies and equipment to them.  There is absolutely no excuse for this. 

Now these same idiots are controlling our involvement in Ukraine.  Russia never should have invaded Ukraine.  Russia invaded countries when Biden, Obama, and George W. Bush were President.  He never made any such attempts while Trump was President.  This is not a coincidence.

The invasion of Ukraine was not a surprise.  It was a distinct possibility since November of 1921 and should have been dealt with then. 

The U.S. was involved with getting Ukraine to give up their nuclear weapons with the understanding that we would protect them.  That has not worked out well for Ukraine.

The US and NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) pushed for Ukraine to become a member nation.  Putin had a huge problem with Ukraine joining NATO.  I can understand why.  Ukraine and Russia share a boarder.  It would be like us allowing Cuba to have nuclear missiles in our back yard.  The idea of Ukraine joining NATO should have been dropped.

The best way to control Russia is with oil and natural gas.  The United States was energy independent and exporting oil and natural gas when Trump was President.  Putin was planning the invasion of Ukraine the moment Biden took office and started to destroy our fossil fuel industry.  Biden should have been smart enough to see this last November and reversed his destructive energy policies.

We should have begun weaponizing Ukraine the moment Putin started moving troops and equipment to the Ukraine/Russian border.  Ukraine could use the $80 billion in military equipment we left for the Taliban in Afghanistan.  If Ukraine was well armed, would Putin have tried an invasion?

Ukraine needs to be able to control their airspace.  They needed and still need planes, but it may be too late.  We should have done something like FDRs Lend-Lease program with Britain in WWII last year. 

Why didn’t Biden give them our planes that the Air Force has retired and parked in the desert?  Most of these planes are still operational.  There are over 200 planes sitting in the desert including over 50 F-15s, over 50 F-16s, and over 40 A-10s.  Would Putin have considered an invasion if he knew Ukraine had over 140 fighter planes?  I don’t think so.  It is too late for these planes to be helpful now as there is no time for Ukraine to train pilots.

I hope Biden’s incompetence and commitment to the delusional climate change Left does not get us into WWIII.  We could see Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea unite to conquer the world.  WWII was bad because of two fronts with Germany and Japan.  WWIII with four fronts could be a disaster.

                               

We must fight for fair elections and take control back from the DC establishment and Deep State.  These are the first steps to take back this country.

State fo the Union

I watched Biden’s State of the Union address from start to finish.  It was hard, but I did it.  I wanted to go barf a couple times, but I toughed it out.  The two bobbleheads (Kamala Harris and Nancy Pelosi) behind Biden added a lot of the nausea.

The speech was like listening to a bunch of political platitudes, slogans, and bumper stickers.  Biden did quite well reading the speech for someone with dementia.  I think he only went brain dead about ten times. He either has no idea what is going on in this country, or his dementia is so bad that he does not have a clue what he is reading. 

The lies were plentiful, but spoken with great conviction.  Biden did not recognize the “Root Cause” for all the problems.  The root cause is all the programs he implemented.  He did not even address some of the problems facing the country.

At times, he almost sounded like a Republican.  He said we had to fund the police and close the southern border.  Obviously, his past and future actions will not address or live up to his promises.   

Biden said he was going to address gas prices and inflation, but gave no actual solutions.  He has no idea how inflation affects working Americans.  He never mentioned making America energy independent, and never gave President Trump credit for achieving it.  He did ask for more delusional Green New Deal government spending which would only make inflation worse. 

I could have written a much better and shorter speech for Biden.  It would go like this:

 

I am so sorry.  I have to apologize to the American people.  Everything I have touched has turned into a disaster.  I will undo the damage I have done and will reinstate all of Trumps policies including finishing the wall on the southern boarder.  I hope you will support me in these changes and forgive my past mistakes.  Make America Great Again.  Thank you and good night.

 

Biden will never admit he was wrong, but I can dream.

 

We must fight for fair elections and take control back from the DC establishment and Deep State.  These are the first steps to take back this country.

Ukraine

 Why is Biden so concerned about Russia invading Ukraine?  He says we have to protect and secure Ukraine’s borders in order for them to be a sovereign nation.  This is bull as he has no intention of securing our own southern boarder.

Does he have loyalty to Ukraine because of the money they have paid to Hunter Biden and the Biden crime family?  There is no way to hide this, but the Left is trying.  It puts President Biden in a bad situation.

President Biden says we have to protect their freedom and democracy.  This too is bull as Ukraine is not a democracy.   It is a dictatorship.    Political opponents to the President have been jailed on trumped up charges with no bail. 

Maybe jailing political opponents is the way the Left wants to define Democracy.  Democrats have done just that with January 7^th protestors.  Trudeau has done just that with trucker’s protest in Canada.  These sound like tactics used by Stalin, Hitler, and Castro.

Biden says he will enact sanctions on Russia for invading Ukraine.  Oil and natural gas are the only things keeping Russia solvent.  We could have had some control over Russia if we were energy independent and exporting oil and natural gas. 

Trump had us in the position of energy independence, but Biden has made us energy dependant.  We are currently importing oil from Russia.  We have surrendered any clout we could have had over Russia and are funding Russia’s war effort in Ukraine.

Putin has anticipated and planned for sanctions.  He is ready.  The sanctions will now hurt Americans as bad as or worse than Russians. Neither Putin nor Biden care about hurting the working class. 

The bigger problem is Europe.  They made the mistake of being too dependant on Russian oil and gas.  They have a real problem if Russian oil and natural gas are cut off.  Germany does not even want banking restrictions that would prevent them from continuing to buy oil and natural gas from Russia.

Russia invaded Crimea when Obama was President.  Now Putin is invading Ukraine when Biden is President.  Putin did not dare do anything while Trump was President.  It is pretty obvious who had the effective foreign policy.  

Knowing all this, why is the White House and Congress so determined to back Ukraine in an armed conflict?  There are two primary reasons.

First, we are not in any armed conflicts at this time and there are not enough wars in the world to support our Military-Industrial Complex.  This industry is an important financial asset to the super rich and political elite.  These globalists endorse a military conflict in Ukraine.  Money is more important than human lives for them. 

Second, the biggest motive for the White House creating a crisis in Ukraine is to distract from the disaster Biden has created domestically.  The people are no longer buying the lies about COVID and Biden needs a new distraction.     

Democrats have to try to distract public attention from inflation, crime, open boarders, drugs, teaching racism in schools, energy prices, corruption in our intelligence agencies, and the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan.  They hope to hide these disastrous Biden policies by making everyone concentrate on Ukraine.

 

We must fight for fair elections and take control back from the DC establishment and Deep State.  These are the first steps to take back this country.
