After the terrible eight years of the Obama time in office filled
with lies, deceptions, unethical and criminal behavior and Democrat
party's massive malfeasance and obstruction on a whole broad front Nancy
Pelosi has the audacity to open her mouth and say these words. Quote:
"Tuesday at the “Time 100 Summit” during a question-and-answer session
in New York City, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said President
Donald Trump’s administration was “an existential threat” to our
democracy. Pelosi said, “We now see the administration engaged in
stonewalling of the facts coming to the American people. They want to
sue the Oversight Committee, Elijah Cummings, for making a request for
testimony. They want to obstruct any subpoenas that come down for
information. So this is a moment in our history. She added, “It’s not
about politics, it’s about patriotism. It’s an existential threat, this
administration, to our democracy, in terms of our Constitution. Article
One the legislative branch spelled out in the Constitution, the power of
oversight over other branches of government. The right to know."
Democrats ignore all the damage they have inflicted on our country over
the past 10 years but have the audacity to claim the nation's number
one enemy is Trump and his administration. What hutzpah she has. The
political left is an unsavory lot filled with reprobates. Just check the
facts which they never see, understand or acknowledge...every thing
good that is now ongoing as Obama is prone to say is because of his
criminal actions and grossly failed policies. These people are not only
delusional they are also insane. Such is the state of members of a
grossly dysfunctional Democrat socialist party. They actually think
that replicating the Mueller investigation will do the country a great
favor...what insanity.
This item worries that the
political left progressives have already destroyed the nation's young
people with their corruption of our K-12 school system aided by
the internet and the mainstream media. This speculation may well be
right. Quote: "The
big problem is that schools and media stopped fulfilling their
responsibility, in Thomas Jefferson's words, "to educate and inform the
whole mass of the people." Schools aren't teaching many facts; most
media don't objectively report facts. Can we now expect a vast
ignoranti to govern itself? People by the millions may chat on
Facebook, but do they know what World War II was? What lessons have
they learned from the rise and fall of Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Mao,
and Pol Pot? Can people have big thoughts if they don't know the small
facts about history, geography, science, and politics? Arguably,
the American public has descended to a depth of ignorance that is
genuinely frightening. Sure, the internet can bring everybody together
at the digital table. But what will everybody talk about? What will
they have in common beyond each day's ephemera? Some
digital pundits are dreaming seductive dreams. But the intellectual
landscape shifts under them. The premise seems to be that voters will
somehow be smarter and wiser than ever before. Perhaps that train has
already left the station. Today, students learn little. As they become
adults, their brains fill with swill from agitprop operations calling
themselves media. Ignorance squared." https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/04/k12_internet_vs_ignorance_who_wins.html
Quote:
"The U.S. economy grew at a faster pace than expected in the first
quarter and posted its best growth to start a year in four
years. First-quarter gross domestic product expanded by 3.2%, the Bureau
of Economic Analysis said Friday in its initial read of the economy for
that period. Economists polled by Dow Jones expected growth of 2.5%. It
was the first time since 2015 that first-quarter GDP topped 3%. "The
upside beat was helped by net trade (exports jumped while imports
contracted sharply) and inventories which combined contributed almost
170 bps of the rise," wrote Peter Boockvar, chief investment officer at
Bleakley Advisory Group. "Personal spending though, the biggest
component was up just 1.2%, two tenths more than expected as an increase
in spending on services and nondurable goods offset a decline in
spending on durable goods." Exports rose 3.7% in the first quarter,
while imports decreased by 3.7%. Economic growth also got a lift from
strong investments in intellectual property products. Those investments
expanded by 8.6%."

This will be surprising to many of us. Electric cars are found to be
dirtier than even diesel cars. Quote: "If you’re considering an
electric vehicle because you care about the planet, you might want to
take a look at the results of a new German study. Researchers there say
that electric vehicles there account for more carbon dioxide emissions than diesel cars
do. According to the study, which was presented at Munich’s Institute
for Economic Research, once you take carbon dioxide emissions related to
producing batteries into account as well as the prominent role of coal
in German energy, electric vehicles actually emit anywhere from 11 to 28
percent more emissions than diesel ones. This is because mining and
processing the cobalt, manganese and lithium used in the batteries tends
to consume a high amount of energy. Take the example of a Tesla Model 3
battery. They say that just one represents anywhere from 11 to 15 tons
of carbon dioxide. When calculated across a lifetime of ten years
traveling 15,000 kilometers per year, it sees 73 to 98 grams of carbon
dioxide for each kilometer driven. That’s before taking into account the
carbon dioxide that is given off to generate the electricity used to
power the cars. All told, each of these Model 3s emits between 156 and
180 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer, according to their
calculations, which exceeds that of a Mercedes diesel car."
This
is an excellent piece that debunks the myth that all federal laws trump
state and local laws. https://webmail.centurylink.net/mail#11
