Wind and solar are not scalable to supply additional demand.
Nuclear is scalable.

What did all these plants have in common ? ? ?
They were designed by Slide Rule.

Trump signed multiple executive orders to promote “beautiful, clean coal”. I grew up in a coal mining area. Coal is neither “beautiful” nor “clean”.
Trump is a huge paranoid crybaby. A little malfunction with the escalator and the teleprompter at the UN and he got all worked up and think someone out to sabotage him. Remember when we got a tough and well spoken Obama as the president?
Paul ~
Your portrayal of Trump seems a bit silly.
As for Obama, your portrayal of him, I disagree.
Does Paul understand metaphor? Trump was comparing the broken escalator and teleprompter to the leadership of the UN.
This speech was a masterpiece. I liked when he talked about bidding on building the UN building – only $500 million, guaranteed with marble floors. Instead the corrupt UN went with another builder, costing over $2 billion. Now they have a broken escalator, a glitching teleprompter and no marble floors.
Paul only knows and believes what the news is telling him, and most news agencies
will take things out of context, and spin the story in their favor. If he had heard the
speech, he would have realized Trump was being facetious.
On Obama being a great president, I guess Paul forgot that under Obama’s watch,
ISIS was decapitating Americans, and North Korea was launching missiles over Japan.
It was Trump who took out the ISIS caliphate, and put a stop to North Korea’s threat to Japan. Libs can’t help it, they simply cannot look at the reality and think for themselves,
that’s why they are liberals. Anybody with critical thinking skills should realize and understand that when the news is reporting nothing but negative news about a person, some, if not most of it cannot be true, nobody can be THAT bad, then overwhelmingly
be reelected President of the United States.
All the down votes I get will be from the same libs that fail to understand the reality of
this complex world we live in.
The thing about Obama that really irritated me was his use of NLP (Neural Linguistic Programming) with his 10 ton periods. His way of telling us all his way was final, no exceptions. No democracy, just another dictatorship. 🤨
.
And then the “dems” go on about Trump’s speaking appearances as if he has dementia but he is very clear minded compared with the previous guy. The “dems” have short memory span themselves or early dementia.
.
Mind you, I’m not a big Trump supporter. I think he would have been happier just being a game show host but then that wasn’t the family business. And I also like to point out how much Trump is using “The Art of the Deal” to run things. Any of you ever read the book or play the game?
Paul, your tough guy paid Iran a billion to be nice to him.
Obama “tough & well spoken”?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keXx0zxTarE
It is laughable how many things Obama divided the country, and think Trump is bringing us together. If you are not Maga Trump has no use for you. He lumps all democrats together, calling us the radical left wing, which leave me and most of my friends, who are mostly middle of the road liberals, out in the cold.
Trump is referring to the Democrat politicians and left leaning media that is constantly criticizing him and calling for the murder of ICE agents, when he says they are the
radical left. Who can blame him? They have been doing everything they can think of to destroy him. They raided his home, arrested him and impeached him twice, and he still comes back fighting and stronger than ever. There have been two attempts on his life,
and the radical left applauded the killer of Charlie Kirk and Brian Thompson, the CEO of United Health Care. Then there are the rioters that are going after ICE agents and their families, the governors and mayors that are disparaging ICE.
Rest assured, Trump is not talking about middle of the road liberals. If you were to listen
to his press conferences, you would understand who exactly he is referring to when he calls the radical left, lunatics. We all know Trump is not the most articulate president
we’ve ever had, but when you listen to his speeches and press conferences enough,
what he is talking about becomes clearer. You can always see most of his press conferences and speeches on the C-SPAN website.
It has been the radical left that’s been lumping all Republicans together. Biden called
them garbage, and MAGA extremists, and Hillary called them deplorable. And how
many of them are calling Republicans racists, Nazi’s, and fascists?
I’m not a Republican, I’m an Independent, but I can certainly understand Trump’s
frustration with the media and politicians, who he’s been calling the radical left.
trump and crew tried to silence jimmy Kimmel cuz trump can’t take a joke! What is an epic failure cuz jimmy is back with more fans than ever! Jimmy is like David in David vs Goliath.
Those weren’t fans…. they were just lookie loo’s who tuned in to watch Jimmy cry.
His ratings will be back in the toilet next show when fans will be as scarce as a funny joke on Jimmy’s Sour Hour.
He saved a life,
https://patriotpost.us/memes/121314-saved-clintonn-2025-09-30
The real issue here is Kimmel didn’t tell a joke, he flat out knowingly LIED again, as usual.

That is 100% correct.
Paul, please seek counseling.
Does anyone really care about that guy Kimmy Jimmel? Or whatever his name is?
FBI had 26 Human Assets at the Capitol Protest on January 6th?
Try 274 agents in plainclothes !
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/09/26/report-fbi-secretly-deployed-274-plainclothes-agents-to-capitol-on-january-6/
And they are still gaslighting us. They didn’t have “undercover” FBI agents – just plainclothes officer whose very existence was concealed for years.
Now it makes more sense why Pelosi didn’t want any National Guard at the Capitol… she didn’t want them grabbing any protesters who turn out to be FBI agents leading protests and inciting the riot they wanted to pin on Trump.
Just saying, if Comey rats Hillary out, he’ll get Epstein’ed faster than a NY minute, and then the news media will be saying MAGA did it
The technical term for what happened to Epstein is “Arkancide”
Maybe the new FBI can threaten to put Comey’s kids in jail on bogus charges like Comey did to Michael Flynn to force him to plead guilty to crap that never happened.
I know they won’t….. but it would serve him right!
Right, Comey will never be held responsible for his crimes and letting Hillary get away with her server and emails, truly amazing he let her go. Trump should have locked her up, she should get locked up now for all her lies and crimes.
As another person on this board has already stated, Ivanpah will go down as another in a long series of failures by the Democrats and their lack of understanding how an economy works. They believe in this pie in the sky alternative forms of so-called clean energy will suddenly wean us off of fossil fuels which is nothing more than a pipe dream. Perhaps in 50 to 100 years, but the technology is not here yet for that transformation. Meanwhile, take a look at those benefiting from this. I guarantee you it’s not Trump and Company. Lastly, I wrote on this board last year about the shock of upcoming utility bills this year. Just wait until next year. We will pay more than Hawaii in utilities as well as gas at the pumps. Please continue to vote for Democrats.

yesterday, I heard a few trump supporters said that Mexico sends rapists, murders, ect to the USA; and they take over American jobs.
So wonder to myself “if it is true that rapists, murders, ect take over the American jobs, American must have crappy jobs and/or they aren’t better than lowlifes for they being replaced by lowlifes”
Illegal get hired because they cost less and dont complain. Corporations justify this and say they can’t find Americans to take the jobs.
Paul. the illegals are here breaking our laws– if they aren’t here legally then they broke our laws coming here, and many have been arrested multiple times. We have homeless people and veterans who need help, yet liberals want to help illegals instead of our citizens. Why should they take any job in this country? They don’t deserve to be here getting any benefits of living here that they are getting, because they are here illegally. Americans 1st. How is that so hard to realize? Americans 1st.
Just being contrary to everything Republican… it does not matter good or bad or whatever, as long as they are contrary and “resist”.
Reason & intelligence is not required… simply “resist” everything Trump & anything Republican.
Do you think it’s possible that Paul doesn’t know there’s pretty good money in doing what he does here (presumably for free 😉
This guy David Khait is on to something: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/A7_wMF4Gf54
…and I love a good expose’ !
Paul, I don’t think Mexico is “sending” anybody.
Most Mexican citizens (if not all) who come to the USA are doing it of their own accord.
There is no shortage.
Mexico as a country appreciates their citizens going to the USA because they send back so much USD that it is raising the standard of living for Mexican citizens in Mexico and it’s good for the economy there.
I truly believe most Mexicans who come here want to work A LOT.
They wish to earn as much as they can and send as much as they can back to family in Mexico, and eventually retire in Mexico with a small fortune saved up thanks to the rate of exchange.
I know this is true because I personally know many who are doing just that!
Newsom and Paul in 2028!
Or maybe Buttigieg and Paul in 2028!
Or Wild Man Fischer and Paul………
How much money is California wasting on this special election in November? I will vote and I will vote no on 50.
Received the voting booklet yesterday. Its just that rotten, slimy, greasy, creepy, lying plagiarist doing what he does best, wasting millions of tax payers’ money.
The only good thing from all this crap is this ignorant, self serving a$$ is showing the entire Country how unfit he is to even be considered as a candidate for the next Presidency.
EYEROLL! He put it in the formal text of the Bill …: ‘we’re gonna do this because Texas is doing it, s-s- so we want to do it too, so anyway, Commiefornia is more important than Texas, and so we
want you to do it so we can be just like Texas and s-s- so….ya know?’
Special elections cost MILLIONS, and if this passes it will cost many, many more millions to
redraw districts.
This slick commie is a joke.

Which jobs in the next decade will be available to those entering the job market ? ? ?

“Walmart has signaled that its 2.1 million-person workforce will remain stagnant

Those with specialized job skills will always be in demand.
Those who can troubleshoot robotics, automation and industrial process controls.

How is it behaving, how is it supposed to operate ? ? ?
Troubleshooting is interesting as all get out, an at the end of the day when it’s
fixed, you go home with satisfaction of accomplishment.

There will always be a need for those who can think logically, troubleshoot
and repair.
“Donald Trump intends to use the United States military against American citizens who simply disagree with him- people he calls, quote, ‘the enemy from within.”
Kamala Harris, October 29, 2024
she is right! I wonder that people who wish to use guns to fight tyranny will protect the citizens.
The left is shooting people they disagree with.
So Paul
To be clear, you are okay with people throwing bricks, stones, and more at Federal Officers? Is that right?
You might want to say that the officers have not identified themselves, but do they have to identify to everyone that asks, Nope! They also do not have to show warrants to all the riot lawyers that show up. They wear vests that state their agency – it ain’t a costume and if it was, then what you call legal law enforcement would challenge them. It should tell you something when the LA police officers, Concord PD and many others are not stopping these guys in ‘costumes’. Please think!
Your president is sending troops to protect Federal property in Portland because the mayor and governor are unwilling to do so. Let’s be honest, if our leadership was willing to stop the damage and harm, the president would not have to step in. But the leadership is not, and what’s worse, the taxpayers have to pay for the damage these rioters are causing. I personally would rather pay for law and order, sends a message, then pay for damages because leaders are not doing their job.
Paul…. are you suggesting the left wing loonies should be shooting people?
Are you ready to take up arms?
Who is a legitimate target?
Should we start wearing red or blue arm bands?
Being reported FBI is looking into,

interesting read
There is no way Kamala wrote that herself.
Kamala. Her political astuteness is monumental and quite valuable. It’s right up there and on par with the other liberal political icon Kathy Griffon.
Geez I haven’t heard anything about a motive yet, it could be vengeance for the Mountain Meadows Massacre for all I know.
All the FBI is telling us is the shooter hated Mormons and that he was a veteran & had a son with a genetic disorder.
I will not assign blame until we get some more specific info.
There are plenty of other things to blame on left wing radical scat disturbers in the meantime.

President Trump still has 842 days, to make things better.

The democrats ‘deinstitutionalization’, made mental health NOT their problem.
Similar to CA democrats passing AB-109, their answer to CA prison overcrowding.
They made prison overcrowding NOT their problem.

Historically CA put criminals, failures of California’s educational system and

Bad Bunny halftime Super Bowl show ?
The halftime shows are always crap but this one will take the cake.
Bunny Boy is as anti America as they get… anti Trump, anti ICE, a trans rights activist & he calls for Puerto Rico’s independence and an end to U.S. imperialism….( since 1898? ).
He is a U.S. Citizen.
The politically outspoken Bunny is going to sing his songs in Spanish only and sometimes performs in drag so I guess confusing the kids is not a concern.
I don’t know whatever happened to the NFL but it’s clearly not concerned about patriotic Americans anymore… Maybe trans Hispanics are the new target audience?
