Soviet party leaders never wanted for vodka or caviar.
The painful thing- an indictment of our education system- is that young people think these people are on their side. “In this together”. Part of the struggle.
They don’t realize they are peasants. Necessary victims. Useful pawns. Disposable. Replaceable.
AOC and Bernie talk a good game. Make people think it’s a collective, universal fight.
Until they realize they don’t have 4 homes. Or $35,000 couture gowns.
Communist party leaders never want for anything. Peasants are abundant. Mao disposed of 100M & his portrait still hangs.
Someone will rise up in #SriLanka on promises of bread. We can only hope and pray that person has a promise of freedom, too. Otherwise Sri Lanka is the new North Korea.
I should fret not. Blinken is on the case.

What’s wrong with Texas and the green energy lie in short 🧵
7am Texas today. Wind: ~5000MW
1pm < 1000mw. That delta has to be gapped.
Now- we can consume less (and you all turn off your AC’s between 1am and 1pm, right?) or we can turn to another source. Today solar helped. Miracle. But notice solar was 0mw because night. So what does the grid do?
Political leftists- candidates, GC’s, etc are absolutely thrilled #RoeOverturned. They have SOMETHING to run on. To message. To stump speech. Otherwise, what? The great economy? The safe streets? POTUS’ leadership?
They are overjoyed but come November let’s see if it worked.
Suburban soccer moms who lean left and are pro choice will see their abortion laws haven’t changed.
But they’re still paying $5 gas and 50% more for groceries. They can’t find baby formula (ignore the irony).
A candidate yammering about Roe doesn’t remedy any of that.
Don’t ask your Senate/House candidate about Roe. It’s not a federal issue. Ask your State Rep, State Senate & Governor.
Power should be local. As local as possible where you- the people- have more say.
You think the yahoo going to DC cares? He cares about Raytheon & Pfizer.
3/4 #RBG herself who so wanted @HillaryClinton to nominate her replacement she refused to step down. Her hubris gave us #ACB. Thanks, Justice Ginsberg!!
Why aren’t oil companies producing? They have 9,000 leases? A 🧵:
The average well costs about $10million in financing. Personnel and equipment. Legal. Compliance. EIS. Etc. That’s $10million before 1 drop of oil is even produced. Next:
The average well produces 21 barrels a day. Average- some do produce 10,000. Some produce 0. But we’ll stick with the average
22 x $120 = $2640 per day. Good money, right? Very good.
You’ve got $10 in debt. Next:
$963,600 is the annual gross for that well assuming 22 barrels consistent, no anomalies, etc…
How’s that $10million debt coming along? How many years to pay it off? Next.
Inexpensive, reliable, domestic energy built America. Forgoing it is destroying America.
Every business, farm, vacation, purchase is premised on energy. It powers the world.
America is blessed by God with abundant fossil fuels which have made us richer, healthier, and stronger.
Every green plan- every one- is premised on enriching china at americas expense and growing government power. It restricts freedom and opportunity. It’s one giant lie.
Energy is freedom, and @JoeBiden and the greens do not believe in freedom. They believe in control.
Let the energy sector do what it does best and did under Trump: produce more, for less, at the greatest number of people, in the most efficient way.
But to return to 2019 means a return to freedom, and @JoeBiden does not believe in freedom. Establishment R’s don’t either.
"Tolerance" and "Equity" are not virtues. They are the bastard children of marxist philosophy. They have no root in our judeochristian society or western values from Aristotle to Maritain. They are post-modern, post-Christian and their intent is to corrupt and destroy.
Tolerance and Equity have corrupted our schools, Churches, institutions, and government. They masquerade as recognizable values and are easily embraced out of fear and misunderstanding. This is their nature and methodology.
Tolerance and Equity have given us the deeply flawed "Criminal Justice Reform" movement which puts the right in bed with George Soros. They inspire the push to "revisit" what works like the family and the police, replacing them with systems at odds with our culture.
