There's evidence for God.
Lol, no, there isn’t. If you are talking about intelligent design that’s even funnier. There are stats and evidence that indicate joblessness though.
There's no evidence that the BLS statistics are the same from admimistration to administration.
That’s an absurd statement. There is no evidence that proves you are not a Muslim.

The Bible says to gather all the evidence and hear all the testimonies before pronouncing judgement. Since I do not have access to the evidence, I cannot in good faith go one way or the other.
Does it really? Was the Bible referring to a criminal case, a civil case or just life in general? You have just as much access to “evidence” as anyone else.

I already made my claims perfectly clear. My stance is that we don't have any proof he turned a blind eye or that he didn't know.
Jordan isn’t in a criminal court. He is applying for a job. The wrestlers from his team are saying he knew.

Bullshit. Multiple players have come forward and said that Jordan knew what was going on. Are you going to claim this is a democratic conspiracy to undermine Jordan.? These players were abused. Jordan knew and did nothing. Other adults knew too, but they aren’t in Congress, only Jordan is.

You can't just rush to judgement based on an article from NBC News.
This is an old controversy. Nobody has rushed to judgment. There are lots of articles about it over the years.
My point isn't that Jordan is innocent. It is that we can't just run with things without getting all the facts first, especially from spurious news outlets.
There’s nothing “spurious” about NBC News.

“Murdoch studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Worcester College, Oxford, in England, where he kept a bust of Lenin in his rooms and came to be known as "Red Rupert".

FOX News is owned by Australians. Not only that, these are Australians with the names Rupert and Lachlan. These are not Americans.
Why would conservatives, who claim to be Patriots and the greatest most loyal Americans, listen to foreigners?
Rupert is a 4 times divorced foreigner at that.
“Murdoch made his first acquisition in the United States in 1973, when he purchased the San Antonio Express-News. In 1974, Murdoch moved to New York City, to expand into the US market; however, he retained interests in Australia and Britain. Soon afterwards, he founded Star, a supermarket tabloid, and in 1976, he purchased the New York Post.[5] On 4 September 1985, Murdoch became a naturalized citizen to satisfy the legal requirement that only US citizens were permitted to own US television stations.“
So he wasn’t born here. He wasn’t raised or educated here. The only reason he bought a U.S. citizenship was so he could buy our TV stations.
Obviously, FOX News watchers are unAmerican.

In the 2001 San Francisco “Gay Pride” parade, Nancy Pelosi walked along side of the NAMBLA advocate,
That’s a lie. She did not walk along side Harry Hay. You are spreading lies.
However, Dennis Hastert, the longest serving Republican Speaker of the House, was convicted of making illicit hush money payments to one of his victims.
Referring to Hastert as a "serial child molester", a federal judge imposed a sentence of 15 months in prison, two years' supervised release, and a $250,000 fine. Hastert was imprisoned in 2016 and was released 13 months later. He became the highest-ranking elected official in U.S. history to serve a prison sentence.
Jim Jordan turned a blind eye to the sexual molester who was the team doctor for his wrestling team.

Here is a good article on how deeply entrenched NAMBLA is with the democratic party
It’s not an “article” dumb dumb. It’s an editorial letter printed in a conservative newspaper’s opinion section. Do you understand the difference?
This editorial from 14 years ago was written by some guy, who has shown zero proof of any connection between NAMBLA and the Democratic Party.
“NAMBLA has a working relationship with the Democrat party. President Obama appointed Kevin Jennings as the Safe School Czar. Jennings expressed his admiration and praise for Harry Hay, who is a long time advocate for NAMBLA and the legalization of sexual abuse of young boys by older men”.
So Obama to Jennings to Hay. No proof. No citation. No testimony under oath. No criminal charges. The opposite of what has happened with Hastert and Jim Jordan.
However, you are Russian, and Russians are known to be child molesters. It just a fact that those skinny pasty white men in Russia, who have nothing going for them, are child molesters.
You are Russian, aren’t you?
Nambla donates money to the democratic party every year.
You know this because you are a member of NAMBLA and you donate to the Democratic Party?

This economy is in no way in good shape at all.
My annual salary has doubled during the Biden presidency from 200k to 400k as an airline pilot. Believe me, the economy is good for people who aren’t losers.
Harvard even changed the Living Wage calculations when Biden took office, so you can't really compare them to Trump, either.I used to love it when Gallup did the "real unemployment" metric because the methodology didn't change. But they stopped it when Trump was in office.
What a bunch of nonsense. You sound like Trump and he is a moron. Stop watching nonsense on the internet

So Biden owning 4 multi-million dollar houses on the salary of a politician is Ukraine's fault? Interesting.
That’s a lie. He has 2 homes. He bought a house after his wife died in a car accident almost 50 years ago. He sold that house for a huge profit. Only losers don’t buy and sell real estate to build wealth. Lucky for you, you inherited your mother’s house or you would still be renting.
In 1974, as a young senator and recent widower (his first wife Neilia and their baby daughter Naomi had died in a car accident in 1972), Biden purchased this former DuPont mansion in tony Greenville for $185,000. He nicknamed the 10,000-square-foot house 'The Station,' and it became the campaign headquarters for his first presidential run in 1988. In 1996, Biden sold the house for $1.2 million.
In 1996, Biden purchased four acres of secluded, lakefront land in the upscale suburb of Wilmington, Delaware, and built this 6,850-square-foot home. According to Zillow, the lot was purchased back then for $350,000 and the property is now estimated to be worth more than $1 million, though a real estate expert put that figure closer to $2 million.

We all know (or should know) the longest serving Republican Speaker of the House was a child molester. Dennis Hastert, sexually abused boys on the high school wrestling team he coached, before he was elected to Congress. That is not in dispute. That is the kind of guy Republicans elect and the kind of guy other Republicans elevate to leadership positions in their party. They still operate the House under the “Hastert Rule” which says: the Speaker will not schedule a floor vote on any bill that does not have majority support within their party—even if the majority of the members of the House would vote to pass it. Leave it to Republicans to base their operations on the judgement of a child molester.
Now they are seriously considering another degenerate wrestling coach for the Speaker position - Jim SEE NO EVIL Jordan. Jordan was a coach at Ohio State when the team doctor was molesting members of his team some years back. Jordan turned a blind eye to the abuse and did nothing that any normal adult would do in that situation. This is the kind of guy Republicans see leadership potential in.

The Treasury Department reported this week that individual income tax collections for FY 2018 totaled $1.7 trillion. That's up $14 billion from fiscal 2017, and an all-time high. And that's despite the fact that individual income tax rates got a significant cut this year as part of President Donald Trump's tax reform plan.
An all time high? Right genius. Because he raised taxes on ordinary workers while cutting taxes on corporations and people who pass their business income through their personal returns. I got a tax increase thanks to the Republicans.
Wealthy people (people who make over a million) got a tax cut.
On top of that, the Trump MAGA government had a trillion dollar deficit before COVID was even heard of.
Trump actually had the highest revenue from taxes of any previous President
That’s a lie. Tax revenues were down overall, thanks to the corporate tax cuts. That’s why he blew up the deficit to over a trillion dollars, genius.
“The only category that was down? Corporate income taxes, which dropped by 31%” From your article.
You fail to use critical thinking skills.
Under Trump the central planning aspect of the Federal Government reached historic lows.
You’ve got that right. Trump didn’t plan to address COVID. A million Americans died as a result of his poor initial response.
Also, under Trump there was record high incomes, a higher standard of living, a lower cost of living, and consistent GDP growth.
Bullshit. He let the stock market run unchecked. It all collapsed before he left. All the gains were lost.
When the economy tanked, ya, prices went down. We had 16% unemployment under Trump and a massive, unprecedented bailout of the economy.
Trump's economy was so good that the only people left who were unemployed were people not actively looking for work.
Unemployment has been lower under Biden.

The MAGA Morons are tearing down institutions. They are subversives, just like their dear leader FAT Donald Trump.
Tonight they caused their Speaker of the House to be terminated. He will not try to return. Republicans use to pretend they wanted compromise years ago but now they are done pretending. They would rather burn the government down than pass legislation with the support of Democrats.
They want to cut spending after they just cut taxes for America’s wealthiest citizens. What do they want to cut? A tiny sliver of the spending aimed at the poor.

That electricity would not be produced if Californians did not buy it
We don’t always buy it. The number varies from year to year. As we bring in more renewable sources or it rains more, we will use less power from other states.
Let the other states poison their residents. They are the dummies
Californians talk a good game
Wrong again. California plays a good game and we lead the knuckleheads who are stuck in the old ways.
Also CA won’t let pipelines be built to bring in gasoline from other states.
That is not a viable solution. Gas from far away is expensive to transport, by truck or by pipeline. Refining capacity is concentrated in certain parts of the country not close to California such as the Gulf Coast
Created:
Certainly high CA taxes are a big part of the difference.
No, it’s not. California has a 58 cent excise tax. Arizona has an 18 cent tax. That’s 40 cent difference.
But another big part is the unique refinement requirements of the Golden State,

Wrong again
California energy comes from multiple sources
10% natural gas
9% coal (most power imported from outside the state)

10% nuclear
These numbers will vary year by year. For example, hydro power varies with rainfall

There's nothing "clean" about electricity production in California.
Cleaner. Cleaner
Just producing gasoline by the process of refining pollutes the air.
Refineries have several units that emit CO2, including steam methane reformers that produce hydrogen, catalytic crackers, and Combined Heat and Power (CHP) units. The emissions of an individual refinery depend on a number of factors, such as the configuration of the refinery, type of fuel used, and crudes processed.Feb 23, 2021
Electricity is made by burning natural gas in California. We don’t burn much coal.(<3%) Making electricity is less carbon intensive than making and burning gasoline.
Why don’t you know this?
Created:
Prices are high because taxes are high.
Absolutely false.
The state sales tax on gasoline is 2.25%
The state excise tax on gasoline is 58 cents per gallon. This is public information and posted on every gas pump in the state.
Those 2 things do NOT add up to $3.
California promises to save the planet with these taxes, but it's just a scam to get money, like most corporate grifters. The planet isn't going anywhere, but your bank account is.
Spoken like someone who has know idea what he’s talking about. One of the Clueless masses.
Created:
California could have prepared for the transition better, by buying and operating refineries that have been shuttered by companies wary of spending money on yesterday’s technology that will eventually be obsolete. Of course that would have resulted in cries of socialism by the MAGA Morons, similar to what happened with Obamacare.
But people like Obamacare, just like they like Social Security, Medicare, and FDIC insured banks. California may still need to step in and support refining capacity in the short term, as companies balk at maintaining facilities that will see decreasing demand for what they produce over the next few decades.
Eventually, gas pumps will go the way of the phone booth.
California holds the distinction as the only state that can regulate cars, because of a provision in the Clean Air Act that allows it to seek a waiver from federal rules. Other states can follow California’s more stringent standards, including the zero-emission targets that will be voted on this week.
