I love God.
I hate evil.
I block romance scammers.

I post a lot about US politics, green energy, electric vehicles, and a bunch of random things. I am very very open to reasoned and considered challenges. You have different facts? Bring em!
1990: Iraq conquered Kuwait.
1991: The US and others kicked Iraq out.

2022: Russia invaded Ukraine.
2026: The US is wanting Ukraine to surrender.

Where did US morality and international leadership disappear to? The cost to the US of this moral retreat is big and growing. I expect China to fight.

I find it strange that there are still people who think that gas and diesel cars will be popular in 10 years time. Most of the anti-EV arguments are factually wrong, and those remaining are being progressively destroyed by better battery and charger tech.

I'd like all the women who'd rather be with a bear than a man, to demonstrate their sincerity by going to be with the bears.

Instead, they hang around men to get their resources and slander men by saying they'd feel safer with the bear.

I am saddened that the US has decided to support Trump in doing so many things that are incrementally destroying them.

Land of the Free is becoming Land of the Fascists.

Donald had 'pooped in the pool' and the water won't be okay until it's all drained, the pool is cleaned and fresh water added.

Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, gets gardening time, sports, therapy dogs, and spa products in prison.

Migrant children in custody are sleeping on concrete floors without enough food or clean water.

Our priorities are so fucked.

President Zelensky warned that allowing Russia to seize territory would repeat mistakes made since 2014 and earlier conflicts. He said Putin cannot be stopped with concessions and claimed Russia is losing 30,000 to 35,000 troops a month.

Whoever invented code signing needs to be taken outside and flogged every day for the rest of their life.

It's an appalling process with lots of dependencies that keep changing. Where's the "Here's my proof of ID and here's my money" solution?

I hate what Microsoft are doing with Windows. I don't want to sign in. I don't want to use their web services. I don't want all my content scraped by Microsoft AI. NO NO NO and NO.

What part of NO do they STILL NOT GET?

I already use Linux desktop and am dumping other M$ products ASAP.

Just as he promised, he’s destroying NATO which has kept Europe & the US together for 80 years. This will open the doors for Russia to wage war or ultimatums on Europe for takeover & China to take Taiwan & eventually Japan along with other islands. To officially give presidents the dictator title.

Trump is full of Bullshit.
He likes to put his name on everything, except on what really needs to be: Trump, Epstein Files. His name and pictures are all over these docs.

Men don't go to speed dating events. There seems to be few solutions. I suggest an alternative- the admission fee for a woman should be (say) $20 and an available man she thinks someone else might be interested in.

The fact that someone needs to say this is a huge problem.

MAGA tribalism is destroying that which made America great.
We are entering the “falling out of windows” phase.

My issue with the US is shifting towards their keeping Trump in power, despite his dementia, threats, inability to negotiate etc..

I am not alone in this view.

The free world is working hard to make contracts and treaties that do not include the US, and the US will be much poorer because of Trump.

What message does this dispute tell international partners?

It says "The US will not honour contracts".

Just like US oil companies don't want to invest in Venezuelan oil, fearing asset seizure, international companies are increasingly avoiding investing in the United States.

All self inflicted!

Saudi continues to pump a lot of oil even though the price is low.

Why?

I think they want Russia to stop pumping oil and for Russian wells to freeze, requiring Western support that will take a long time to reappear.

Less Russian oil for sale will mean higher oil prices for Saudi.

The President of the United States raped underage women.
Attorney General Pam Bondi has seen the proof in the Epstein files and doesn't care.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Release the names of the predators in the Trump-Epstein Files. Let the victims speak the names. Trump is an insane, malignant narcissist and must be impeached along with his Regime.

When the batteries are in containers, you can pull into a harbour, swap the batteries, and sail on.
