In a Feb. 17 meeting in the Oval Office, Biden met with nine labor leaders in the Oval Office to discuss his coronavirus relief package and infrastructure plans. McManus, was one of those leaders.
"I brought up natural gas specifically to him, we spoke about pipelines ... and he says, 'I'm all for natural gas,'" McManus told E&E News of the meeting in a story published in March. 

Putin's pipeline would supply natural gas from Russia.

Natural gas is a fossil fuel, though the global warming emissions from its combustion are much lower than those from coal or oil. Natural gas emits 50 to 60 percent less carbon dioxide (CO2) when combusted in a new, efficient natural gas power plant compared with emissions from a typical new coal plant .

So you can see why Biden would want it.

Yes, on 28 May, 2020, Netanyahu said he was committed to annexing parts of the West Bank in July once a joint Israeli-US team completes mapping the exact territory based on the conceptual map released by US President Donald Trump's administration.

That is true, Hitler believed that Christ was a mixed-blood; he who was born, according to the Führer, from a Roman soldier and a Palestinian prostitute named Mary.

Yes, in the early American colonies, religion was a tool that settlers used to promote a lifestyle that was the opposite of that of the Native Americans. Clergymen depicted Native Americans as infidels who lived savage lifestyles primarily because of their lack of protestant religion. This was not the case, but it was successful in driving settlers towards religion as they came to fear the unknown and the dangers that lay ahead of them on the frontier. Several newspapers even went as far to assert that people settling the new frontier should only live with members of the same religion as they might become corrupted by the savages if they did not. 

A death toll of  100 million figure has been documented by the authors D.E. Stannard, author of American Holocaust, D.E. Stannard has said, "The destruction of the Indians of the Americas was, far and away, the most massive act of genocide in the history of the world." . And apparently it didn't take long for the Europeans to get this genocide started.

There has never been a mass organized killing by atheists. The Soviet Union and China substituted worship of divine beings for worship of their dictators, and therefore do not count as atheist. They also didn’t kill even half as many of their own people as is popularly claimed.
Religious people, on the other hand, have been murdering each other and atheists for at least the last 10,000 years, probably longer but we don’t have records going back further. Christianity alone between the crusades, holocaust, conquest of the Americas and genocide of native Americans, the religious wars following the Protestant Reformation, and numerous other conflicts, has killed around 2 billion people in the last 1500 years. Catholics and Protestants didn’t stop killing each other until the Irish Troubles ended in 1999.
All religion is based on lies and has the potential for extreme violence. Humanity would be better off without it.

A study published in the journal Neuropsychologia has shown that religious fundamentalism is, in part, the result of a functional impairment in a brain region known as the prefrontal cortex. The findings suggest that damage to particular areas of the prefrontal cortex indirectly promotes religious fundamentalism by diminishing cognitive flexibility and openness—a psychology term that describes a personality trait which involves dimensions like curiosity, creativity, and open-mindedness.

Stephen,

My comment was an approval of what Timid8967 said. You are an intelligent person and I value our friendship. You have to recognize that he is on the same page as we are.

The Proud Boys and other far-right groups raise millions via a Christian funding site. A data breach from Christian crowdfunding site GiveSendGo has revealed that millions of dollars have been raised on the site for far-right causes and groups, many of whom are banned from raising funds on other platforms.

 “Allahu Akbar” (God is the Greatest) !

Well stated.  A Theist, a knife-wielding man shouted “Allahu Akbar (God is Greatest)” and then beheaded a middle-school teacher on a street in Paris in 2020. That same year, an Atheist promoted Humanism.

Jeopardy Question:  It is near the south geographic pole.

Jeopardy Response:  Alex, Where is the North Magnetic Pole?

Be careful on what you put on your eyes. A good friend of mine just had an eyelid removed because of skin cancer. In a study in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, researchers at the Manitoba Institute of Cell Biology in Winnipeg reported that some tumors grew faster and larger in mice injected with loratadine, astemizole and hydroxyzine, three antihistamines.

 A magnetic compass points to the earth's magnetic poles, which are not the same as earth's geographic poles. Furthermore, the magnetic pole near earth's geographic north pole is actually the south magnetic pole. When it comes to magnets, opposites attract. This fact means that the north end of a magnet in a compass is attracted to the south magnetic pole, which lies close to the geographic north pole. Magnetic field lines outside of a permanent magnet always run from the north magnetic pole to the south magnetic pole. Therefore, the magnetic field lines of the earth run from the southern geographic hemisphere towards the northern geographic hemisphere.

You know that the CDC is saying no masks if you are fully vaccinated, don't you Bruh? (I'm trying to act like a Gen Zer.)

Bruh!

It is definitely Atheism.  Atheism leads to Humanism, where Theism led to Hitler making belt buckles for his troops that said: "God is with Us."

I assume you are talking about the claim that was made by George Papadopoulos, an adviser in Trump’s 2016 campaign who erved 12 days in prison for lying about his attemps to allegedly connect other campaign staff with officials representing Russia. He was pardoned by Trump near the end of Trump’s term as president.

The Christ myth theory, also known as the Jesus myth theory, Jesus mythicism, or the Jesus ahistoricity theory, is described by Bart Ehrman paraphrasing Earl Doherty, as the position that "..the historical Jesus did not exist. Or if he did, he had virtually nothing to do with the founding of Christianity." It includes the view that the story of Jesus is largely mythological, and has little basis in historical fact.

You are talking about the Natioanal Debt, right?  Using Treasury Direct's data, from the time Trump took office in January 2017 through September of this year, the national debt rose from $19.9 trillion to $26.9 trillion, which is an increase of $7 trillion in Trump's first term. This is a 35 percent increase.

Well stated.

Locating the Beginnings of Pain

Your reference does not state what you said.

They key point is:

"However, this does

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) reduced the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent. 

Because Theweakeredge is a very intelligent person, I will allow him to speak for me.

I don't know, Canada has a minimum wage of $14.25/hr. and the OECD forecasts that Canada's economy will grow by 3.5% in 2021 and perform better than the United States.

A fetus cannot feel pain, they are ony reacting to stimuli.  A heel prick from a needle used for amniocentesis, for example, can result in the fetus recoiling, much as an adult would to a painful pinprick.
Studies have shown, however, that the recoil is more of a reflex controlled by the “lower brain” (which is involved with more base functions like breathing than with consciousness) or the spinal cord and does not necessarily reflect an experience of pain. In fact, the same response can be seen in anencephalic infants, who are born missing large parts of the brain. As the JAMA review explains: “[F]lexion withdrawal from tactile stimuli is a noncortical spinal reflex exhibited by infants with anencephaly and by individuals in a persistent vegetative state who lack cortical function.”
Put another way, the experience of pain is different from what is known as nociception. Nociception refers to the body’s ability to perceive harm — this can be achieved below the level of consciousness, as with reflexes. A paper published in 2001 in the journal Bioethics explains the difference: “[W]hile nociception is neural activity, pain is an unpleasant feeling. It follows that while pain requires some level of consciousness, nociception does not.”

Not true, The Constitution of 1824 officially established the United Mexican States. This included 525,000 square miles in North America, including the land that makes up all or parts of present-day Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. The Mexican–American War (1846–48) took this territory from Mexico. Hopefully Palestine will learn something from this.

Starting with the Bible and supported by archeological findings, it is clear that Palestine was occupied by non-Jewish Semites long before the Jews claimed the "Promised Land," and long after. There is not even evidence that there were twelve tribes of Israel who occupy the land claimed by modern Israel. The book of Joshua is full of bloody gore on how God delivered on his promise, but there are no sources outside the Bible that verify that the whole of Palestine was conquered and occupied by Jews.
If the Book of Joshua is to believed, then it means that justification for a Jewish homeland is based on land taken by war 3,300 years ago and lost by war 2600 years ago. By that logic, Americans should give the southwest territory back to the Mexicans and the rest to the nation back to the Indians.

I wonder why some rich Native Americans haven't bought up land in Kansas and then tried to form their own country.

See American Holocaust: D. Stannard (Oxford Press, 1992) – “over 100 million killed” “[Christopher] Columbus personally murdered half a million Natives”

Because it did not happen: the story is a myth.
There are no eyewitness accounts of the times of Jesus for obvious reasons.
The gospels are not eyewitness accounts. They were written decades after the alleged Christ and were written by ghost writers from oral tradition, (legends).
Claims that others i.e. Josephus testifies about Jesus are a desperate reach for validation. Josephus was not a contemporary of Jesus; he never met Jesus.

Oh, Sorry, I thought this forum was about Trump having sex with Melania. Or the other way around.

I don't know any parent that would have a problem with an Angel watching over and protecting their child for the child's whole life. Why wouldn't God want to do that for all his children? The Bible is clear that all people are God's creation (Colossians 1:16).

Vegetable oils can and have been used as lubricants in their natural forms. They have several advantages and disadvantages when considered for industrial and machinery lubrication. On the positive side, vegetable oils can have excellent lubricity, far superior than that of mineral oil.
Lubricity is so potent that in some applications, such as tractor transmissions, friction materials need to be added to reduce clutch slippage. Some crude vegetable oils tested at UNI-ABIL have passed hydraulic pump/wear tests, such as ASTM D2882 and ASTM D2271, in their natural form.
Vegetable oils also have a very high Viscosity Index (VI); for example, 223 for soybean oil vs. 90 to 100 for most petroleum oils. Restated, the viscosity of a high VI oil changes less than that of a low VI oil for a given temperature change. The oil’s viscosity does not reduce as much when exposed to high temperatures, and does not increase as much as petroleum oils when exposed to cool temperatures.
Another important property of vegetable oils is their high flash/fire points; 610°F (326°C) is the flash point of soybean oil compared to a flash point of approximately 392°F (200°C) for mineral oils.

Most importantly, vegetable oils are biodegradable, in general are less toxic, are renewable and reduce dependency on imported petroleum oils. Additionally, using lubricants and greases made of soybean oil helps reduce soybean surpluses and helps stabilize soy prices for American farmers. For most industrial machinery users these products offer considerable public relations benefits and goodwill within the agricultural community.

UNI-ABIL has licensed 16 formulated lubricants, greases and base oils made of high oleic soybeans that have been genetically enhanced for stability. These products meet and exceed industry requirements, and many do not cost much more than their petroleum counterparts. If these products can compete in performance and price, their environmental benefits will make them even more appealing to users.
Products currently available from soybean oils include: tractor transmission hydraulic fluid, industrial hydraulic fluids for process and machinery applications, food-grade hydraulic fluids and greases, greases for use in automotive, railroad and machinery applications, chainsaw bar oil, gear lubes, compressor oil, and transformer and transmission line cooling fluids. Currently, field tests are continuing on two-cycle engine oils, metalworking fluids and other specialty lubricants.

I guess a wall would not have stopped the people that came in by that boat that capsized in California.

Jeffery Epstein said that he was the one who introduced Trump to then-Slovenian model Melania Knauss, at the Kit Kat Club in Times Square.

In May 2017, President Trump, Melania Trump, and Ivanka Trump visited Pope Francis in Rome. A news clip captured the Pope asking the first lady in Italian what she feeds her husband.
Melania Trump did not appear to understand the question until a translator repeated it in English. The video was posted by Inside Edition.
During the same trip, Melania Trump visited a children's hospital but did not speak Italian aside from rudimentary phrases, while speaking in English with the children for the rest of the time.
Even when she said some Italian phrases, she employed the incorrect conjugation. The video was posted by Rome Reports.
Also, when President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump visited France, a video of the event was posted by The Telegraph, and it was captioned "Melania Trump speaks French" but it did not capture her saying much more than "Hello" and the phrase "My name is Melania" in French.
There are no videos of her speaking German. She attended the G20 summit dinner in 2017, and she talked to Russian President Vladimir Putin, who can speak English and German, but it was not reported what language they used while conversing.
According to AMERICAblog Editor John Aravosis, who is also multilingual, if Melania Trump is really distinctive among all the U.S first ladies with her fluency in multiple languages, she would at least demonstrate her skill by briefly engaging locals in conversations in their native languages when she went to Europe with the President, but she didn't.

When I say OMG, I mean Oh My God Zeus.

Yes, we need a stripper born in the Soviet Union as First Lady again. Though, Trump will probably be on his 4th wife by then.

Meek Ameerika Greeet Ageeen!

Yes, lately, strong research suggests that an incorrect amount of miss-timed secretion of male hormone during stages of fetal development may create a transgendered individual - whether male or female. Biologically, nature will produce a female unless male androgens are supplied at the right times and in the right amounts. There are physiological and mental gray areas between male and female "absolutes". Additionally, there are some theories arguing a genetic model of causality.

Or you could become a Republican president of the United States.

You have to admit that God believes in fairness. He gave free will to viruses and cancer.

So essentially you are saying, why shouldn't Toby be good nig**r  for massa?

Make a Laser Wall system like India did on the border of Pakistan.
