Well, we are producing much more crude now than we did during the Carter administration. Biden was instrumental in this.

Never thought I would live to see this day. Glad my parents didn’t.

I sadly agree

Though outraged, how does an average person such as I fight back?

Dear Sir, I know that EM’s assault on various gov’t departments is a threat to all—indeed, perhaps the most serious threat currently posed by the Administration. Still, I appreciate your ironic comment, and the chuckle that followed. My question: What can a Common Joe like I do to fight back?

Thank you. As I just posted in an additional reply to Rep. Kinzinger, I stand corrected (which is important). CNN is reporting that the plane was most likely hit by anti-aircraft fire.

Dear Sir, I was just listening to the morning news. I stand corrected: Experts are saying that it is most likely that the commercial aircraft was shut down by anti-aircraft fire. Apologies.

Dear Sir, I am no lover of Vlad the Invader. However, the NYT reports that the plane hit a flock of birds. The article also noted the possibility that the aircraft may have had its GPS jammed (GPS spoofing), a method used to confuse drones.
