GP "Representative Sean Patrick Maloney of New York, the chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said Thursday that keeping the Democratic majority depended on speaking to voters in a way that wasn’t too preachy or condescending."
GP I'd like to note for the record that Democrats are constitutionally unable to speak to voters "in a way that [isn't] too preach or condescending."
They're religious zealots who believe they're doing God's work.
GP "[Bipartisanship] appeared to be the administration’s focus ahead of Mr. Biden's appearance on Friday, as his team worked to highlight positive economic indicators."
Good luck to Team Biden in attempting to con Americans into not believing what they're seeing exists.
GP "Mr. Biden’s new message has also left some progressives angry and concerned that their priorities were being pushed to the margins."
Lulz. Democrats tried it the progressives' way and that's what got them where they are today. Progressives should get used to being ignored.

CZ Let's talk solar power. A 1kW solar panel is 5.25sq meters. A house uses 30kW of power per day. That's 30 solar panels per house, or .04 acres of panels. For a block of 25 homes, that's 1 acre of panels.
CZ For a city block, that's 4 house lots of solar panels just to power the rest of the block. That's just one side of the street.
CZ So those acres of solar panels you see in the desert? Barely powers up a single subdivision. Maybe a single apartment building in a downtown. That's it.
CZ Mandarin is really good at Monopoly, to the point he always wins and is such a bad sport about it that no one, even the wives, will play or discuss it with him.
He's horrible.
GP I have always found Mandarin to be less of an *immediate* threat than you, Czar. Long term, the jury's still out.
I will grant that you have nicer, softer hair than Mandarin.
GP Massive price increases Democrats' bad energy policies have caused and will cause:
1. Fertilizer 2. Pesticides 3. Manufacturing 4. Metal refining 5. Steel production 6. Trucking 7. Shipping 8. Medicines 9. Medical devices 10. Transportation 11. Food processing
1/n
12. Animal feed 13. Animal processing 14. Sowing crops 15. Harvesting crops 16. Home heating and cooling 17. Lumber 18. Plastics 19. Containers, all 20. Construction 21. Mining 22. Paper and pulp 23. Airlines 24. Wages
2/n
I'm sure there's tons more, but that's off the top of my head.
Point is, there is really no area of your life that increased energy prices does not affect. Your life is about to get radically more expensive and your quality of life is about to drop precipitously.

GP The Democrats and media have adopted a few (bullshit, IMO) talking points cheering abortion after yesterday's SCOTUS abortion arguments.
They go something like this:
1. Stare decisis must govern!
2. SCOTUS overturning Roe would be pure politics!
1/n
3. SCOTUS didn't even consider Roe and its progeny's viability and undue burden standards as it must!
4. Trump's appointees to SCOTUS are all illegitimate and must recuse!
There are more, but these seem to be where the Democrats and media are settling.
2/n
Dealing with each in order, I state as follows:
1. As Alito (I think) basically said in arguments, "Stare decisis does not require us to keep a shitty decision no matter what the reliance interests are on it." Stare decisis is a guidepost, not a requirement.

GP Lots of lefties screaming, "You're not pro-life because you're pro-death penalty and you're not for government giving away trillions to people who don't deserve or even need it!"
Lemme 'splain your disconnect.
GP Abortion in the Catholic tradition as well as in many/most Christian traditions (and other faiths) is always wrong because it is the unjustified taking of a purely innocent human life.
Always. Wrong.
GP The death penalty in the Catholic faith (and others) is licit but strongly disfavored. It is permitted in a few narrow circumstances.
The death penalty involves, when properly applied, the *justified* taking of a human life, one which has been adjudged guilty.
