If that number is correct, that’s a ton of productivity leaving the economy. 

What productivity is leaving? I am talking about the 54% that are unemployed.  Those are a drain on our economy.

Here is a person that is seriously solving a real problem.  Why can’t we have more people in politics like him:

We need more Dems.

Don’t mess with Texas.

But seriously— you repeatedly demonstrate that you’re not serious person. You can’t even grasp real problems and have no desire to solve them. You just react. You’re incapable of crafting a workable solution to a complex problem. You just have “positions.”

And how many real problems have you solved?

I’m guessing quite a few are the guys I see working 12-14 hour days in construction in 105F degree weather. What do you think, @SaltyTiger?

Only 46% are working, if they are working good for them.  The one that aren’t are the ones that will be deported first.

Move, you know AOC says that’s why we have all the migration on earth anyway.

Good luck finding all these legal Americans who are willing to pick crops or work construction in 90 degree heat for the same wages that McDonalds pays. 

 

 

Works perfectly with the climate zealots that want to decrease the farming because they create too much CO2, or because we go to net zero the crops wont grow.

Meh? I will always struggle why you see the Israeli attack more horrific than the full scale slaughter  of Ukraine.  Truly hurts my head.

Where are all the Ukrainian Americans that have a direct tie to their homeland?  Americans have a much bigger tie to Israel then they have to Ukraine.  I was talking pride in country and the conflict in Ukraine, as horrible as it is, does not stir the national pride as the other two.

So this confirms it....you think every climate scientist that posits global warming is corrupt. Every. Single. One. And you think any scientist against the prevailing opinion is not. 

There is no logic that can penetrate an utter belief in conspiracy such as this. 

I didn’t say that and you are just talking out of your a$$.

In a debate about global warming you think I'm talking about....Boeing?

I'm referring to all the posts you've been putting up with scientists claiming CO2 isn't the cause. Aren't they dependent on grants for research, also? Aren't they getting paid? Or do you think they're the only ethical ones?

Well, thanks for clarifying.  You seem to leave things up to the reader a lot.

Of course, they are either getting paid or getting grants, but they are not the cash cow climate change money from the government doles out.  Kind of like the resistance or another view that should be looked at.  Like the Great Barrington Declaration that was discredited by Fauci and team before it even had a chance to be discussed.

I believe the US is gearing up to increase manufacturing of products that have been produced in China. This will require the need for employees in that sector. The timing may be off for these immagrant workers, but the eventual need is on point. These employees will pay taxes and buy goods. This along with increased taxes and reduce federal spending will help drive down our deficit.

 

What is your plan?

My plan; I would deport them starting with the 54% not working first.  They will be easy to deport as they are living in sanctuary cities waiting for their next meal.  That will take some time.  The ones that are workingI would give them a little time until our population and legal immigration can replace the work they are doing.

Of course, there is no way we are going to actually deport all the illegals, but we can at least try.

As for all those jobs we are going to take away from China, haven’t we been waiting on those for a while?  What is the hold up?  I think we can adjust on the fly.

So the scientists that you present as a counter, are they ethical? If so, why are they the only ones? If not, why do you trust them?

 

What scientists have I presented as a counter?  If you are talking Boeing, they will lie with the best of them to deflect blame.  Watch dog groups have to hold their feet to the fire (the FAA).  

I didn’t trust Boeing when I flew them and I didn’t trust Airbus when I flew them. The only thing I had control over was flying the aircraft the way the manuals instructed and if something happened the union would have to be on my side because the manufacturer would place the blame on the pilot.

Has America Finally Had It With Joe Biden?

Joe Biden’s personal approval rating is at historic lows; almost all his policies do not poll fifty percent. He is behind Trump in almost all the swing states. And now he lies serially even to sympathetic interviewers. In short, finally Biden has been exposed for what he always was and represented.

Senator and Vice President Joe Biden was always sort of a buffoon. He is by nature a grandstander who handsomely profited from his office while posing as good ole Joe from Scranton.

He is a blowhard meddler, one who proverbially has been “wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades (Robert Gates),” from dissenting on the Bin Laden raid to his trisection of Iraq scheme.

He is a fabulist who believes that the more animated he misleads and slurs (“semi-fascists” “fat”, “lying dog-faced pony soldier”, “chumps”, “dregs of society”, etc), the more likely he is to get away with it. He is a confessed plagiarist. And he has also invented much of his biography, from would be star, college-scholarship athlete and brilliant law student to semi-truck driver and jailed civil rights activist. His uncle, we are instructed, was eaten by cannibals. Joe assures us that he was the first in his family to go to college.

And he is a racist with a repertory of racial taunts and smears unrivaled among modern politicians (“junkie”, “boy”, “you ain’t black”, “the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy”, “put y’all back in chains”, the Corn Pop and golden-leg hairs sagas, the “racial jungle” memes, the strange brag about Delaware as a “slave state” (e.g., "You don't know my state. My state was a slave state. My state is a border state.”), and his encomia for the old Democratic racists of the Senate from former Klansman Robert Byrd (Biden’s self-described “mentor” and “guide”) to segregationist James Eastland (“never called me boy”).

Biden has always had a mean streak that explains why for years he lied about the tragic, fatal auto accident of his first wife and child, using it to libel the truck driver, who was neither drunk nor culpable but smeared publicly for years by Biden as intoxicated and guilty. For years he ignored the pleas of the trucker’s family to please stop libeling an innocent driver.

Biden just told his greatest whopper that inflation was at 9 percent (actually 1.4 percent) when he took office and yet soon spiked to 9 percent due to his reckless deficit spending and money printing spree.

But recently Biden has reached a nadir and even the Left is resigned to him as a mere construct. After bragging after October 7 that his support for Israel was rock-solid he is now cutting off military aid as it attempts finally to end the Hamas murderous threat—a reversion to old Joe Biden who in his long past has previously threatened to cut off Israel while boasting later that anyone who did so was reprehensible. (Leveraging congressional mandated aid for political advantage is precisely the (false) allegation of politicking that the Democrats demagogued to impeach Trump—to the then cheers of Biden himself).

But his sell out of Israel is but a small tessera in his election pandering mosaic. He will again begin drawing down the strategic petroleum reserve to lower gas prices during the campaign. He has badgered Ukraine not to hit Russian oil facilities. He has illegally forgiven billions in student loan aid to regain the elite youth vote. And as the campaign season begins, so too Biden suddenly poses as a border enforcer—after letting in nearly 10-million illegal aliens.

Biden has always put the agendas of his own and his family above the national interest. We witnessed that when he bragged that he fired the Ukrainian prosecutor looking into his son’s Burisma skullduggery. The Biden consortium is corrupt and was enriched with over $25 million through foreign interests’ assurance that Senator and Vice President Joe Biden would deliver on their quid pro quo investments in him.

Any other major politician who habitually invaded the private space of women and preteens to blow on their hair, gobble their necks, squeeze and hug far too long, and be accused of sexual assault would have long since been cancelled by the left.

Add the old disturbing narrative of a naked Vice President Joe Biden exiting his pool in front of female secret service agents, the showering with his pre-teen daughter, the Frank Biden and Hunter naked selfies, and there seems something eerie among the Biden family.

Despite fierce denials, the entire lawfare scheme directed at Trump originated with the White House. Biden was always said to have been exasperated with Merrick Garland for not hastily enough going after Trump.

The misadventurous Georgia prosecutor Nathan Wade met with and was tutored by the White House counsel’s office. One of the top Biden DOJ prosecutors was dispatched to rescue the bungling Alvin Bragg farce.

Jack Smith, appointed by the Biden DOJ to go after Biden’s 2024 presidential rival, timed his indictments to coincide with the campaign season, even as Smith’s office mishandled classified files taken at Mar-a-Lago to bolster its prosecution—and then lied about it.

Hard-won American deterrence was destroyed by the humiliation in Afghanistan and the lies surrounding the disaster, the Chinese balloon flight and the misinformation about it, the wars in Ukraine, Gaza, and on the Red Sea, and the accompanying disinformation from the White House.

Such recklessness abroad is the bookend to the home front where massive borrowing, the destruction of the border, crippling inflation, spiraling crime, and the epidemic of “progressive” anti-Semitism on campuses have made American almost unrecognizable.

Again, at the heart of this Biden catastrophe is the Faustian bargain of 2020 when unelectable leftist candidates dropped out in unison to use a fumbling Biden as their more presentable veneer. So he was foisted upon the nation to serve as “moderate” cover to advance a radical, veritable Obama third-term. In that sense, his duties were ceremonial—as the hard-left channeled through him the most radical agenda in U.S. history, and found his debility and dementia advantageous—the country be damned.

If Biden makes it to and through the convention, he and his record remain indefensible. And so expect his campaign largely to be waged through lawfare against Trump, and massive infusions of leftist cash to ensure record mail-in and early voting. In the campaign Biden will become an afterthought, a ghost, vapor, as his party seeks to construct the entire election one of leftwing, blue-city prosecutors, judges, and juries versus serial defendant Trump.

But will Nemesis first catch up to Biden’s long record of hubris and dishonesty?

I bet you Dems think he’s joking:

I would limit that to large scale disasters.  9-11 did it for maybe a year and 10-7 less than 4 months.  Ukraine meh.  We are divided in our culture and have no gratitude for America.  We have weakened our national pride to the point where the younger generation believes we were colonizers and want to start over.

All of them? Thousands of scientists have been bribed into producing junk science just for financial gain? And nobody is blowing the whistle on it?

Who knew that percentage of scientists were so unethical? If so, why do we trust them for anything that doesn't provide them with a large financial incentive? 

As you so often accuse others of doing, why doesn't Sowell debunk the actual science, instead of attack the source of it?

If Sowell really believes there are little-to-no ethical scientists, then he's gone full conspiracy theorist, as have you.

It’s only human nature isn’t it.  Why would you think Boeing is defending its brand as furiously as it is?  It isn’t a conspiracy scientist (environmental scientist) further their cause.  It really is milking the cash cow of the government and they can feel good about it.

It is similar to DEI, there are people that have degrees in this industry and would never go against anything DEI related.  Are they unethical or are they building their industry at the tax payer expense?

As he mentions in the video; the climate scientists have a financial interest in continuing their research.

Here is two experts in the field believing the polar ice caps will be ice free in the summer months. This was 15 years ago.  Will any of the scientists ever be correct in their predictions?

*The science* is getting better at predicting, they just push their predictions beyond anybodies life time.

So why post that the numbers changed when you don't believe them to begin with?

Oh, I've got it....when the numbers changed you could use it as proof that the Palestinians were originally lying, so that must have meant the numbers are right. 

Now the Fox News article has been shown to be crap, so you're back to not believing the numbers at all.

The world of subjective reality is fun, isn't it?

The numbers changed because the UN, a trusted source, said they changed.  Under pressure from Hamas they retracted the change.  There is no organization allowed to question the Health Ministry and it is pure propaganda.

Here is another gem from the article:

The ministry does not distinguish between casualties among fighters and civilians.

If you are not told the truth to begin with you are left with subjective reality.  You choose your truth, I choose not to believe terrorists.

Once again, temperature increases lead to release of CO2 into the atmosphere - release from oceans, ice, soil, plants, etc. That extra CO2 amplified the warming of the Earth, but was not the main cause. Now, we're dumping a huge amount of excess CO2 into the atmosphere, which wouldn't normally be there, so we've begun the warming process earlier than it would if just left to nature

This is the part that is disputed by many.  You state it as fact, it is a theory perpetrated by an echo chamber that is very popular with the environmental cult and media.

Only time will tell.
