This is hardly news, and it's definitely not discrimination against rich white women.

This is how you know it's discrimination against rich white women.


EDIT: Hey t4f, on a scale of 1-10, how seriously do you believe people on here take you?

[Gelston]

Are they not? I'm open to seeing the information or argument that they aren't if it's available.

They are volunteers, which are unpaid employees, who are still subject to the rules and practices of the company they are volunteering for. Under that idea, I would contend they are technically "employees", and to be dismissed based on their race as the sole issue falls under the statutes I highlighted.

Example: If a "volunteer" had accosted someone while at work for the museum, could the museum be held liable?.. since the individual is "employed" by the museum? Just because the "employee" is not paid, and does it voluntarily, doesn't mean they are not "employed"...

If have something to contradict that, then I'm open to it.

It's still stupid and racist as fuck.

Those laws affect employees. Volunteers, especially completely unpaid volunteers, are not employees. This sort of thing has been before the courts before.

And don't try to say a volunteer is an "unpaid employee" because that would be completely illegal.

For more information on what a volunteer is, see this Government site. https://webapps.dol.gov/elaws/whd/flsa/docs/volunteers.asp#:~:text=Individuals%20who%20volunte er%20or%20donate,organizations%20that%20receive%20 their%20service.

This seems just like more double-speak and changing of terms to try and explain something away.

The administration said themselves they needed to "diversify".. then fired their trained employees/volunteers.

People can try to explain it away with new, friendly terms.. doesn't change what it is. Shit is getting really weird in that way.

Just like "safe spaces" aren't segregation somehow..

Sorry, not drinking the kool-aid.

Once again, they didn't fire them. They scrapped the program entirely.

The demographics of the program weren't the problem, they were a symptom of the problem. The museum- and many other institutions- want to replace their docent program with something more people can participate in.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. And there's nothing that says former docents can't apply to be part of the new program, whenever that comes to be.

I'll say it one more time- Docent programs have been falling out of fashion for years- they're being scrapped in a lot of places. There is nothing that says that you have to keep a volunteer program forever once it's been established.

PS Segregation is a complex legal system designed with the explicit purpose of consolidating political power among a particular ethnic group at the expense of another.

"Safe Spaces" bear no resemblance to that.

LOS ANGELES -- Atlanta is still seething that Major League Baseball stripped the All-Star Game away from their beloved city this summer.


Well, politics or not, there’s absolutely nothing MLB can do to stop Atlanta now.


Atlanta will host the World Series for the first time since 1999.

I live in Georgia, just remember, Atlanta is as much of a Leftist shithole as any other major city, they are a Stacy Abrams stronghold of corruption and scum so it could go either way. Maybe no one will burn down a highway overpass with a meth lab during the series.

Trump’s New Free Speech Network Has Already Banned Any Criticism of Itself

Donald Trump hailed his own creation of a new free speech social media network, Truth Social, on Wednesday night—but a scan of its terms and conditions shows that users will not be allowed to criticize the site. The former president, who was thrown off Facebook and Twitter earlier this year for inciting the Capitol riot, announced the launch of his new network in a press release, writing: “I created Truth Social and TMTG to stand up to the tyranny of Big Tech.” The site’s landing page claims that the site, which is set to go live next year, will be a place for “open, free, and honest global conversation.” However, despite those promises, Truth Social has already published a long list of prohibited activities—including a clause that states that users must not “disparage, tarnish, or otherwise harm, in our opinion, us and/or the Site.” Users are also told they must not “annoy” any of the site’s employees. It’s not clear if that includes Trump himself.

More... (https://www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-new-free-speech-network-has-already-banned-any-criticism-of-itself)


Will Trump's new social media platform allow as much freedom of speech as Twitter allows?

Why is Trump starting his own social media network? Because he is banned from Twitter? Is the new network intended to serve Trump as a substitute for Twitter, or is it intended to pressure Twitter by threatening additional competition? Trump is suing Twitter (https://www.forbes.com/sites/siladityaray/2021/10/27/trump-fails-to-keep-lawsuit-against-twitter-in-florida-case-moves-to-california-court/), as you may have heard, to try to force them to let him tweet again.

Okay.. random weird thought.. Think I've solved the unemployment and energy crisis.

Wind turbines are simply gears that are spun with wind power.

Why don't we make massive indoor bicycle areas, where the unemployed or homeless get on a bike and spin for as long as they want. All that rotational energy produced by thousands of people is then stored, and sent out.

I mean... it would work right??? Just need the gears to spin, to spin other gears, to create amperage and voila!

Totally random thought.

On the next episode of "Gettin' Learnt with Ricky".

Did some research:

An average rider can produce up to 200 watts per hour.

At 25% capacity a 2 MW wind turbine produces: 2 MW × 365 days × 24 hours × 25% = 4,380 MWh = 4,380,000 kWh

So... it would take 2,737,500 people working 8 hour shifts to produce the same amount of energy as 1, 2 MW wind turbine running at 25%.

A commercial average-sized wind turbine (2 megawatts) costs about $2.6–4 million.

You could buy between 8 - 12 wind turbines for the cost of 1 days labor................

Isn't that just a gear issue? I'm not a mechanical engineer by any means, but couldn't that be increased through a better designed gear system?

If you watch a wind turbine spin, it does it pretty slowly but it turns larger gears.

What I'm envisioning is something like this.. how many people would it take to turn a wind turbine propeller 1 rotation like the wind does and work the math/design from there.

As for 2.4m people working 8 hours a day... aren't we trying to provide more jobs? I mean.. maybe do 4.8m people at 4 hours a day and work out how pay is done.

Side benefit? We solve the Nations obesity problem?

On a GE 1.5 MW turbine the prop weighs roughly 36 tons, the gearbox weighs 56 tons. In theory an external gearbox could be engineered but I'm not sure a human could peddle fast enough to turn the entire gear train. In all likelihood the external gearbox would cost more than the wind turbine.

It would be more cost efficient to pay people to just dig holes and fill them back in.

Eventually, and not far off, we will have to come to the realization that we have advanced technology to the point at which there is no labor. Conservatives are going to have an exceptionally difficult time with it.

The funniest part about this story is after Elon Musk challenged the director of the WFP to explain exactly how 8 billion dollars would solve world hunger the director flat out said the headline was wrong.

CNN engaging in fake news?! Never!

You could put in some great infrastructure in some third world countries. You couldn't solve world hunger, but you could definitely reduce it.The thing people don't realize about Bezos and Musk and others, they don't actually have that much money. They have assets valued at that, but if they tried to make that cash liquid it would devalue very quickly and they'd have way less. He even made that point by saying he'd have to sell Tesla stock, because he likely doesn't have billions in cash.

Alt-lefties hate Musk. It pisses them off that he's going to put men on Mars before NASA. NASA wasted too much time on the shuttle program.

Most leftists don't have the first clue about the massive difference between cash and net worth. They literally think Elon has like $190 billion dollars just laying around or whatever he's worth right now.

time4fun is one of these tards. You can tell by the way she posts.

Wow, if 8 billion solves world hunger, think what 1.5-3.5 trillion could do!

As if any of those packages have a chance of passing at this point. Manchin an Sinema have shown no interest in doing either. It's time the Democrats tried to take a vote on what they really want, fail, but have those two fake Democrats on record as being obstructionists. Then spend the next few years writing them out of politicos completely by over funding real candidates.

They are trash bills that do basically nothing for infrastructure.

If we're going to spend that kind of money, I want to see actual infrastructure. Manchin and Sinema are doing the right thing.

Over a hundred billion in road, highway and bridge repairs is trash? Tens of billions to ensure access to high-speed internet to improve educational access, tens of billions in railroad infrastructure when our country is struggling to move goods and materials for renewed demand : also trash?

I'm curious, if paying for infrastructure to help Americans and to create American jobs is trash. Just what do you stand for?

You saw that the World Food Program received 8.2 BILLION in 2020... and nothing changed.. right?

They received 8 BILLION in 2019 (almost half from the US) and nothing changed.

My favorite part of Musk's tweet was this: "But it must be open source accounting, so the public sees precisely how the money is spent."

Watching every "press conference" that President Biden "takes questions", he has a sheet of paper of the name of people he should call upon.

I'm sure these questions haven't been run up the ladder from "journalist" to the White House handlers..................

Let's Go Brandon!

[Tgo01]

Oh boy! I can't wait until Democrat districts declare that they can't finish counting by tonight because it's oh so hard to count ballots and they have to take 2-3+ weeks to finish counting and wouldn't you know it? They find just enough votes that the Democrats ends up winning.

EDIT: Am I good or what?

9 counties haven't finalized their votes yet, 6 of which are Democrat counties.

Of the 3 Republican counties that haven't finished counting yet they are at 99%, 99%, and 97% finished counting.

The Democrat counties are at 98, 97, 96, 95, 90, and 88.

And wouldn't you know it? In the meantime the Republican's lead has gone from about 3% to just 0.1%.

"We don't know how to count! Oh wait, the Democrat needs how many more votes to win? Okay! We remembered how to count!"

Gee can't possibly imagine why so many people have lost faith in the system.

[Tgo01]

Best part about NJ is even if the resident murderer in that state wins reelection for governor there are a few districts that were blue last election that are solidly red this election, and yet no districts that were red last election are going blue this election.

Let's go, Brandon!

[Tgo01]

So far in NJ each and every single district but one has leaned further right this election compared to 2020, some moving as far as 20%+ to the right.

Oh and that one district that didn't trend further right? Yeah went a whole 2% more to the left.

But don't you dare ask any questions about 2020! That's undemocratic and you're literally a terrorist if you ask questions!

[Tgo01]

"Murphy will have no trouble winning in NJ! Polls have him up by 12 points!" - Every "news" outlet

This is a foreshadowing of the 2022 elections. Those majorities you have in the House and Senate? Kiss em goodbye :).

[Parkbandit]

My favorite part of last night's bloodbath is the Democrats today saying that the reason Democrats lost so much was because Congress didn't pass a bolder and more progressive bill.

Yes. That is why your party got shit on last night..

Please let that be the lesson you learned last night.

And so it begins!

Jemele Hill, noted black supremacist who was fired from ESPN for being such a racist bitch, had this to say about the first ever black woman being elected to statewide office in Virginia and the first Hispanic ever elected as Virginia AG:


It’s not the messaging, folks. This country simply loves white supremacy.

It's even crazier because Winsome Sears, the new Lt Gov of Virginia was born and raised in Jamaica, and Jason Miyares, the new AG of Virginia, was born to a mother who emigrated to the US from Cuba. So not only did the "white supremacists" turn out in droves to vote for a black woman and a Hispanic man, but they voted for an immigrant and the son of an immigrant. These white supremacists are so bad at being white supremacists that they don't even know how to be white supremacists!

Do you Democrats ever get tired of being so blatantly racist? And do you ever tire of either defending or ignoring other racists in your party? Honest question that I think deserves an honest answer.

It is/was a real question, not a troll.

I don't think he's accomplished anything and his entire career is a fuckup. Take the border, Afghanistan, the economy, hell even his covid response which all he had to do was keep doing what Trump started instead of going extreme. He just makes the wrong decision on everything. I guess he doesn't mean tweet though, but I honestly like Trumps use of social media because he highlighted how retarded it is.

I can't think of anything he's done well, so figured I'd ask you because you seem to support him.

the economy

Gas just jumped over 20 cents a gallon in my area in the past 24 hours. Now paying $3.75 for a gallon of gas. Even before the shutdowns the highest I can remember gas getting under Trump was $2.75 a gallon, and that only lasted a few days.

Afghanistan: actually I think that this was handled incredibly well he said a guideline he's stuck with a guideline and all of those folks who were not prepared to leave or refuse to leave have the ability to now leave at whatever point that they want to do to you diplomacy with the Taliban. He made the pledge to leave Afghanistan, something Trump failed to do in 4 years in office. Everything else is political nonsense and people who wanted a forever war.

Economy: Just what legislation do you see passed by the Biden Administration could have possibly resulted in the inflation you're seeing? There isn't any. The Covid19 stimulus, the disgusting bond buybacks, all of that was accomplished via bipartisan agreements SIGNED UNDER TRUMP. If anything, cooling the quantitative easing and unregulated free money to corporations has already begun to tame month to month inflation.

Meanwhile, Biden has reestablished normalized relations with our NATO allies, laid framework toward reestablished a policy of intervention in Iran, something Trump destroyed without any alternative. Biden has put Russia and Ukraine on notice to knock their shit off and has let Turkey and Saudi Arabia their strategic importance doesn't come with a free pass to commit any atrocities they want. And that's just foreign policy

It's a miracle there weren't more suicide bombings given the perfect targets Biden created. Oh, right, Biden prevented another attack by dropping bombs on a father and his small children. I'm sure you have some bullshit excuse for that too right?

I like how these assholes right-wingers try to make it sound like Afghanistan fall apart in just 30 days of the end of the war. That is utter bullshit. Less than two dozen troop casualties wow evacuating tens of thousands of Afghans? That is a miracle.

For all of you who wish we were in Afghanistan forever you can all go die in a fire. 20 years + 2 trillion dollars later the country is once more and Taliban control and Al-Qaeda is still in existence but we can add Isis k to the list of threats which hadn't been dealt with by the Afghanistan government in 20 years. It took a real man like Biden to get us out of that death trap

Biden’s $50,000-per-year journalist tax credit estimated to cost taxpayers $1.6B (https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/nov/4/bidens-50000-year-journalist-tax-credit-estimated-/)

So Democrats are now just straight up bribing "news" organizations to write favorable propaganda for Democrats.

This bill, you know, which is supposed to raise money to offset all of the costs of said bill, would give news organizations up to 50k in tax breaks PER JOURNALIST. It also exempts news organizations with up to 1500 employees from employer payroll taxes, you know those taxes that fund silly things like Medicare and Social Security.

Oh but don't worry! It only lasts 5 years unless Congress votes to extend the exemptions again, that way "news" organizations would feel pressured to write glowing stories about Democrats because they would be the ones pushing for these exemptions again.

Democrats are literally giving away taxpayer dollars to bribe the media and dipshits like Seran and time4fun will continue to throw a tantrum claiming Republicans are the ones giving away money to corporations.

Oh but don't worry! It only lasts 5 years unless Congress votes to extend the exemptions again, that way "news" organizations would feel pressured to write glowing stories about Democrats because they would be the ones pushing for these exemptions again.

Democrats are literally giving away taxpayer dollars to bribe the media and dipshits like Seran and time4fun will continue to throw a tantrum claiming Republicans are the ones giving away money to corporations.

Here's another tin foil hat conspiracy from the alt right, peddling their nonsense assumptions and ignorance. There's nothing that biases this towards any type of news, agenda or source beyond being local newsrooms. I suppose Fox News would be intimidated by any local agency not controlled by them and because all the true conspiracy rags Dreaven subscribes to are online only and wouldn't benefit, his handlers demand he post this drivel.

Speaking of Seran being perfectly okay with corporations and rich people getting tax breaks as long as the tax breaks are coming from Democrats, Pelosi apparently shoved more SALT provisions into the bill, increasing the current cap from 10k to 80k, which of course would mostly benefit the top 20% of earners in the US and especially help the top 1%.

But Democrat approved tax cuts for the rich somehow end up taxing the rich more or something.

I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark and guess you don't understand that some 60% of Americans own their homes and surprisingly enough, a few of them also live in states which also have income taxes and state sales tax. Would it surprise you to know that the combination of state income tax, property tax and/or sales taxes exceeds $10,000 dollars? "But but, the rich people," you shriek in an oddly high pitched, effeminate tone, while omitting the Senate was including a $400,000 income cap.

Or do you realize that the vast vast VAST majority of home owners don’t pay anywhere near 10k in state and local taxes?

It’s funny because something like 47% of people don’t make enough money to owe federal taxes yet Seran would have us believe 60% of Americans make so much money that they are paying more than 10k in state and local taxes alone.

Mortgage interest being several thousand dollars a year for most, income tax and property taxes on a median income combined with it grossly exceeds the standard deduction for most. What's your problem with tax code which helps create generational wealth for the middle class. What threatens you about a progressive tax system that boosts people out of poverty and provides safety nets and free education to make sure they're never destitute again? Are you so full of your own mediocrity that others having opportunities threatens you?

[Tgo01]

Christ, dude. It's really not that complicated. Do you really think the Washington Post is going to report on any major scandals happening over at Amazon and take the perspective that Amazon is in the wrong? Probably not since Bezos owns the company and signs the paychecks.

Everyone with an IQ of a dog with brain damage can understand the conflict of interest here, so rather than pretending the conflict of interest isn't there why don't you think of a different defense for this utter shit? Or has Rachel Maddow not yet given you your marching orders and you have decided to do this one solo? Maybe that's not such a good idea seeing as how you are embarrassing yourself more than usual.

[Tgo01]

Mortgage interest being several thousand dollars a year for most, income tax and property taxes on a median income combined with it grossly exceeds the standard deduction for most.

I mean...that's great? Mortgage interest has nothing to do with this discussion because that's not part of SALT. People can still itemize their mortgage interest to whatever that cap is, which I don't think there is a cap on that, but really that needs a cap too.

So I really don't understand what point you think you are making here. SALT has to do with income tax and property taxes. Tell me how many people earning 15 dollars an hour or less are going to need more than a 10k cap on their state income and property taxes? I'm guessing the number is probably close to zero.

Tax experts say that before the cap was put in place that the top 20% of earners claimed over 96% of the total SALT deductions that taxpayers took advantage of, and over half of the total SALT deductions were from people earning more than 1 million dollars a year.

You laughably went from demanding corporations and the rich pay more taxes just a few days ago to now adamantly defending tax breaks for corporations and the rich simply because Biden and the rest of the Democrat goon squad in Congress are pushing for these tax breaks.

You're not even a person at this point, you're just an empty shell for the Democrat party to puppet around to repeat their talking points.

Just a few days ago I was saying how Democrat districts would keep "finding" new ballots until they got the results they want.

Well now let's look at this:

Powerful New Jersey Senate Democrat says '12,000 ballots recently found' support refusal to concede to truck driver (https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/powerful-new-jersey-senate-democrat-says-12-000-ballots-recently-found-support-refusal-to-concede-to-truck-driver/ar-AAQnpiG?cvid=53d9a93dea1d4a1793050b37d52d1ff5)

Yes that's right! In an election many considered to be over because the Republican challenger was leading the Democrat incumbent by a comfortable margin, suddenly 12,000!!!!! ballots were "found."

Come on, Democrats, even you have to be tired of this shit. Or are you fine with it because 99% of the time it favors your candidates? How can anyone blame people for questioning election results when shit like this happens time and time again and it almost always favors one party in particular.

There is absolutely no reason why we can't have all ballots counted and have the results released on the night of the election. At worst case scenario within 24 hours after polls closed.

75k is a completely arbitrary number you pulled out of your ass. 10k for a combination of state income tax and property tax in a state like Florida, California, Colorado or New York is nothing when you account for the median income in those states. Which is exactly why Trump's limit of 10k was a very poorly veiled attempt to punish blue and purple states.

75k is a completely arbitrary number you pulled out of your ass.

Afghanistan: actually I think that this was handled incredibly well he said a guideline he's stuck with a guideline and all of those folks who were not prepared to leave or refuse to leave have the ability to now leave at whatever point that they want to do to you diplomacy with the Taliban. He made the pledge to leave Afghanistan, something Trump failed to do in 4 years in office. Everything else is political nonsense and people who wanted a forever war.

Economy: Just what legislation do you see passed by the Biden Administration could have possibly resulted in the inflation you're seeing? There isn't any. The Covid19 stimulus, the disgusting bond buybacks, all of that was accomplished via bipartisan agreements SIGNED UNDER TRUMP. If anything, cooling the quantitative easing and unregulated free money to corporations has already begun to tame month to month inflation.

Meanwhile, Biden has reestablished normalized relations with our NATO allies, laid framework toward reestablished a policy of intervention in Iran, something Trump destroyed without any alternative. Biden has put Russia and Ukraine on notice to knock their shit off and has let Turkey and Saudi Arabia their strategic importance doesn't come with a free pass to commit any atrocities they want. And that's just foreign policy

Nobody fell to their death hanging from planes. You saw people hanging onto a plane (going like 1 mph) on a runway. That is all.

Also. They blow shit up over there. It doesn't make it anyone's fault over here. Just the guy over there, who blows fuckers up. Doesn't matter what year it is, or who is in office over here. They blow fuckers up over there. Not Biden's fault, not Hunter's fault, not 4 5's fault, not yo momma's fault. It's just the dude who blew the shit up. It's definitely his (or her) fault. Move on.

Look how extremely stupid and uninformed you are. Not that anything more is expected from you though.

Buttigieg Says U.S. Will Use Infrastructure Bill to Address Racist Highway Design (https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/buttigieg-says-u-s-will-use-infrastructure-bill-to-address-racist-highway-design/ar-AAQsE2v?cvid=ecceee3f7bd04e8d92018a684b47c086)

So...yup. That's a real and accurate headline. We have joked for a few years that we are living in clown world, but now we can officially say we are living in clown world.


Buttigieg described highways dividing neighborhoods and an underpass deliberately constructed “too low” for “a bus carrying mostly Black and Puerto Rican kids to a beach” in New York.

He's almost reaching as much as Alfter does now. I'm skeptical that someone literally sat down and said "I don't want those black and Puerto Rican kids to be able to get to the beach on a bus! I'm going to purposefully construct this underpass too low so they can't do it! MUHAHAHAHAHAH!"

I mean...seriously...what the fuck is this dumb shit? Black and Puerto Rican kids can only get to the beach via bus? Black and Puerto Rican families don't know of another way to get to the beach? Seems the real racism is coming from this administration.

But hey, they are going to waste one billion tax payer dollars to literally tear down existing roads and highways to combat supposed racism.

Say it Seran... don't say "black pitcher"... say "Negro man" like Biden did.

Stop acting like a bitch, and say it if you think there's nothing wrong with it in todays social climate.

Because like Biden did, referring to a pitcher in the Negro Leagues was a former tense reference to historical fact. Referring to a black person in a current tense as a Negro is wrong, but Biden didn't do that.

Okay, seriously now. Are you seriously suggesting he didn't say "the great negro at the time" and that apparently only half of the population collectively misheard what he said, or that since he was referring to him "at the time" that it was okay he referred to him as a negro, or are you suggesting something else?

I've already seen the headlines and stories where they tell people Biden didn't really say what he said on video, we're just too dumb to understand what's really going on.

To be fair to Snopes the article I read from them did admit that Biden referred to him as a negro but that he probably meant to say "the great pitcher from the Negro League."

But the WP article literally said something along the lines of "Hey, look, you're a complete fucking moron if you think Biden referred to him as a negro. See those dashes we put in his quote? Yeah that's where Biden paused because he was redirecting his comment mid-sentence and what he was really saying was Satchel Paige was a great pitcher in both the Negro League AND major league."

No, seriously, that's what they went with.

It's really a work of art the amount of reaching this guy does. (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/11/12/artificial-controversy-over-biden-negro-explained/)


You’ll notice the difference between how I presented the comments and how Johnson did. In his version, “negro” is not capitalized — because Johnson is pretending it’s not an obvious reference to the “Negro Leagues,” a professional baseball league for Black players that existed about a century ago. In fact, his tweet willfully skips over that clarification, burying it in an ellipsis. It’s obvious that Biden was going to describe Paige as a great Negro Leagues pitcher (which he was) before clarifying that he was also great in the major leagues. But that’s not how Johnson characterized it.

These things happen with some regularity. Comments are misinterpreted, often willfully, to make someone look bad. Generally, we might assume that an obviously misleading interpretation like the one above would simply flash and then fizzle out. But this one did not.

Keep in mind these are the same fuckers who believed 100% without a doubt that someone heard Trump refer to some countries as "shit holes" and immediately went with the "See? Proof he's a racist!" narrative, are now telling literally telling us that we didn't really hear what we heard on video, but that what we really heard is what they are telling us we heard and therefore Biden wasn't being racist.

Hey now, let's not bash the Washington Post. They went back and corrected the "Dossier" reporting they did back in 2017 because it was found out to be a gigantic pile of steaming shit.

They just want to truth out there...............

[Gelston]

https://thehill.com/policy/national-security/581347-washington-post-removes-large-portions-of-two-stories-on-steele


The Washington Post reported on Friday that it would be amending and eliminating parts of two stories the newspaper did regarding the Steele dossier in light of a recent indictment and new reporting.

A story published in March 2017 and one in February 2019 that connected “Source D” in former British intelligence analyst Christopher Steele’s dossier to Belarusian American businessman Sergei Millian were corrected and had portions removed.

An editor’s note appeared on each one providing notice that the articles had been amended.

The March 2017 article identified Millian as “Source D” and “Source E” in different areas of the Steele dossier, including identifying him as “Source D” behind a claim that Russian intelligence learned that a hotel room in Moscow once used by former President Obama and his wife was defiled by Trump-hired prostitutes, according to the Post.

The dossier said that the “Source E” also substantiated that claim, though the newspaper said that those allegations have not been proven true.

The Post also reported on a February 2019 story, which ran with the headline “Belarus-born businessman sought proximity to Trump’s world in 2016," discussing Millian's involvement in some business activities of the former president.

Analyst Igor Danchenko, who was indicted earlier this month, helped put together information for the Steele dossier. Danchenko’s indictment alleges that the analyst might have received information regarding the salacious claim in the 2017 story from an operative of the Democratic Party instead of Millian, according to the newspaper.

The Post that it was also not clear if Millian was “Source D” in the dossier based upon a recent interview with one of the two sources cited in the March 2017.

"Biden must tap oil reserves to lower gasoline prices, Schumer says"


https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/us-energy-facts/imports-and-exports.php

"The United States became a net total energy exporter in 2019 for the first time since 1952 and maintained that position in 2020 even though both total energy production and consumption were lower in 2020 than in 2019. Total U.S. energy exports exceeded total energy imports by 3.46 quadrillion British thermal units (quads) in 2020, the largest margin on record. U.S. energy exports in 2020 totaled 23.47 quads, and energy imports fell 13% to 20.0 quads, the lowest level since 1992."

Now due to bad policies, Democrats want to tap the reserve energy supply just so the prices look better during the Holidays and before election season kicks off. Perhaps they could implement better policy, as was established just a year prior?

Oh wait...

What they decide to do instead is beg OPEC and do shit like this: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/oct/06/canada-us-michigan-pipeline-dispute

Oil prices could be tamed by simply putting back in place the crude oil export ban and extending it to oil distillates. Allow our country to maintain critical stockpiles, allow our internal producers to meet demand which will continue to fall due to more efficient vehicles and it would force the rest of the world to deal with OPEC instead of the US leading talks.

Not entirely shocked you're completely ignorant on this topic, as has been your track record for nearly every other discussion.

Oil producers break even cost, ie the price per barrel of oil needed to justify the expense of drilling new wells is between $25-$31 dollars per barrel, dependent on rock quality. The break even point to continue service and maintain flow at existing wells is $17 dollars per barrel, according to Rystad Energy.

Lifting the oil export ban of fifty plus years exposed Americans to international oil manipulation by OPEC+ who collectively lowered their outputs to offset American oil flooding the market. This caused oil prices to surge, a massive benefit to US oil companies, but simultaneously began destroying the average America's retail buying power as refiners were forced to jack up their finished product prices to compete with demand for domestic oil. Our country is exporting 3-4 million barrels per day on average, swiftly depleting a strategic, finite resource.

Biden conversely can declare a national security threat and ban exports of crude and refined products to all but specific US allies such as the UK, EU and certain Asian Pacific partners, forcing OPEC+ to ramp up production on idled wells. American refiners who use our most common light, sweet crude would see a subsequent drop in prices due to abundant supply, driving down prices. While refiners who use heavier, sour crude will see a more moderate price drop as Texan and Californian fields with heavier crude will be unidled to meet demand for refineries that specialize in non-fuel products.

Surely you understand math yourself right? Instead of competing on a an international market for the 14.9 million barrel our country is able to produce, our country would return to only importing the shortfall between domestic production and consumption. I know those concepts are foreign.

In 2020 we produced more than we used, though.

https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/oil-and-petroleum-products/imports-and-exports.php

2020 we still were under the Trump policy which caused production to increase.

2020 we were under covid lockdown which caused consumption to decrease to 1995 levels.
