Today Mongo AKA Pitbull or Sir-Skittles (I’m not sure whose fake account Mongo is) authored a blog about my son who’s dying of cancer. If you look for it you’ll find it. This is my response.
“ Mocking someone whose son is dying of cancer says far more about your character, Mongo, than it does about me. My focus is on supporting my son during the hardest time of his life, not engaging with cruelty.
My son is dying of cancer. If you think that’s something to mock, that’s deeply disturbing. I hope you take a moment to think about the kind of person you want to be……or are.
While you’re making jokes, my family is facing the reality of losing someone we love. I wouldn’t wish this pain on anyone. I hope one day you understand why what you said was so wrong.
For the record: my son is dying of cancer, and Mongo AKA Pitbull or Sir-Skittles (I’m not sure who Mongo is) thought that was something to mock.
I’ll let people draw their own conclusions about the kind of character that takes.”
He will get gas prices down below 2 dollars a gallon his term is not over yet the Iran conflict is just a minor setback and then there’s always his 3 term to smooth out the wrinkles
Oh no sounds like you and anal licker need a nap 💤

Oh yeah. Make fun of people that care that innocent people, children, are killed or will be killed. You, who have never defended anything more than your right to bitch, now, because the Supreme Clown had a hissy fit about lack of balls and his involvement in the Epstein files, now you “cars what we have to say?”
Fuck Marcy and leave the opinions to the adults.
A minor setback? This is escalating MUCH harder and faster than Bush's attack on Afghanistan. It's even worse than I warned people about.
There is only 1 way this doesn't escalate into another “endless war”, and that's Trump declaring a victory, saying Iran cannot make a nuke anymore, running away with his tail between his legs, and let the Iranian people fend for themselves in utter chaos, while a similar or worse regime takes control in a bloody mess.
Only a short time after, we are in the exact same situation as before with Iran.
The only difference is that the Iranians NEVER want the US to 'help them' again.
sadly the local stations shot way up, the prices you see are for MAY contracts, but they jack up the price on the gas already bought and paid for in the tank to make up the difference.
Not Trumps fault.
I filled up yesterday at BP for 2.80 a gallon with the bp card discount. gas a run thru the wash was 95 dollars.
Hear we go with the democrats crying just be glad you have a president that won’t let Iran walk all over the United States this situation has needed taken care of since 1979 finally we have a president with some balls
Dgraff, it’s not just Democrats. Only 26% agree with this war. Going back to
1979? Why? What, exactly, was Iran doing that made it seem they were walking all over the United States? We have embargoed their oil industry. We bombed their nuclear setup in October. And why?
Granted, if they had nukes, they could have threatened the Middle East countries including Israel. You could stretch that to Europe, but, didn’t the Clown say Europe is on its own? So, why is this on us? You talk about “balls” but you forget some of the most “ballsy” presidents ignored Iran. They just kept an eye on them. Reagan, Bush I, Bush II, and a guy named Trump, left them relatively alone. We even had a nuclear treaty that the Clown dissolved in his first term.
You want me to tell you why we attacked Iran? It’s not “Balls”. It’s dicks up 16 yr old girls and the Epstein files. He desperately needs to distract the Nation.
Iran was not nor is it now a current threat to us. Now they, as strong or weak as they are, are defending their sovereignty and, in their eyes, the need to avenge the deaths we caused.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m not shedding any tears for that despot Ayatollah Khamenei or his henchmen. But, now, many innocents will lose their lives because a convicted felon and alleged pendophil.e is crapping his diaper.
Even when a terrorist sponsoring nation finally reaps what it sews ,people are still hung up on the epstein files. I got in a argument with some ol bitty on another forum that is hell bent on the bullshit that epstein and his crowd are killing, fucking and then eating kids and that is why ICE was going around gathering more for them. Just what the hell needs to happen here in the US before people realize the folks in the middle east want to kill us and if we are to survive we have to do them in first?
It was your side that was hellbent that there was a cabal of wealthy, powerful people fucking, killing and drinking the blood of children. Our side could never imagine people being that evil. Maybe your side looked inside of themselves and had a much easier time imagine people being that evil.
However, what do you know, it turned out to be true.
And then we found out that Trump knew all along what was happening, was best friends with the worst one, and picked many of the others for positions in his administration and Trump has even hired the same lawyers as Epstein. He is cutting deals with Ghislaine Maxwell and she is openly promising to protect him for a pardon. Meanwhile, Trump's handpicked loyalists in the FBI and DOJ have been lying their asses of every single day, and breaking the law for him. No person in his right mind will ever believe that Trump isn't guilty as fuck of many horrible things. He would never go through the trouble if he wasn't because fucking porn-stars and models and then having the right-wing media be complicit in a cover-up was dismissed like he accidentally coughed on someone. No, it must be something incredibly bad,
for him to care this much about it.
Yes, Phart, we are hung up on the Epstein files. We are because we have a sitting president that may be a p.edophile or worse (besides being a convicted felon) and he’s been fighting for all its worth to keep his involvement hushed up. Phart, I understand your philosophical stance against the liberal agenda, but, you seem to be a reasonable and lawful person. Why do you keep defending this creep?
You know as well as I do had Trump walked away with his tail between his legs in 2020,and took a dog catchers job in Wyoming , we would have never heard about a epstein file. That's my point. Where were the victims before Trump came along? where are the bodies of the victims? where is anything besides documents that have been shuffled around for the past couple of years by people with a agenda?
Why can't you see the potential scam here?
What I see is actual living victims testifying in front of a Republican party controlled congress. And we are concerned about THE PRESIDENT, not Epstein.
And we know they are victims based on what? Their word against another persons? Physical evidence? What exactly? You know well as I do that fictional storys can be recited on a witness stand just as easy as on tv on your favorite tv show.
Unless there is physical evidence, there shouldn't be a conviction by the people or the courts
This is the 14 page indictment of Jeffrey Epstein by the Justice department after an investigation by the FBI. If after this you still believe this is a "she said/he said" situation, then Phart, there's no hope for you
Epstein is not just your average rap1st, he had a business in recruiting and kidnapping vulnerable under@ge women, pimping them out to wealthy powerful people and then make lots of photos to blackmail those wealthy powerful people. That is evidence of the crimes too.
It shows that you don't do ANY research into this case.
This is the biggest scandal in US history, and you don't care.
WHY DO YOU THINK THERE ARE OVER 6 MILLION PAGES?
Here are the main categories of evidence that were reported in Epstein’s cases:
1. Physical Evidence From Searches
When authorities searched Epstein’s properties (including homes in New York and the U.S. Virgin Islands), they reportedly recovered:
- Photographs and digital images of under@ge girls
- CDs and hard drives containing images
- Large amounts of cash
- Documents and contact books
Search warrants and seized materials are common forms of corroborating evidence in criminal cases.
2. Digital & Electronic Evidence
This can include:
- Emails
- Text messages
- Call logs
- Flight manifests from private planes
- Computer metadata
- Surveillance footage
In Epstein’s case, flight logs from his private jet were frequently cited as documentary evidence showing who traveled where and when.
3. Financial Records
Because trafficking cases often involve payment, investigators examine:
- Bank transfers
- Cash withdrawals
- Payments to alleged victims
- Corporate shell structures
- Real estate transactions
Financial trails can show patterns consistent with recruitment, payment, or concealment.
4. Witness Testimony (Beyond Victims)
In addition to accusers, prosecutors may rely on:
- Former employees (pilots, house staff, assistants)
- Associates or recruiters
- Third-party witnesses
- Law enforcement officers
For example, in related proceedings involving Ghislaine Maxwell, former staff and documentary evidence were also introduced in court.
5. Contemporaneous Records. These include:
- Diaries or appointment books
- Visitor logs
- Calendars
- Address books
- Epstein’s so-called “little black book” became widely discussed because it documented contacts and associations.
6. Prior Plea Agreement & Court Records
Epstein previously entered a controversial plea deal in Florida in 2008. Court filings, depositions, and civil suits created a large documentary record that later prosecutors could reference.
No I haven't done alot of research because I don't consider it a very high priority and way to much time has been spent on it already.
Folks that dems want safe,won't suffer, those the dems hate,will suffer.
it is being weaponized.
I will say, if those gals took money for what they did, and they got paid to find more that got paid,that is prostitution and that in it's self is a crime so if they are admitting to that, they are not just victims, they are also defendants. and what did they do with that money? Did it get invested for college? did it buy clothes,food,etc? Curious also, if these gals were "recruited" Could they not have said NO?
Remember the term 'grooming'?
You're very happy to accuse transgenders of that, with ZERO evidence, but when your side is heavily involved, you're blaming the victims.
QAnon was right, they just went silent when they found out
it's their own side doing it. Fucking hypocrites.
2005–2008 – Florida authorities investigated Epstein; he eventually got a controversial plea deal in 2008, widely criticized for being too lenient.
2011–2016 – Epstein’s connections, including to Trump, Bill Clinton, and others, were occasionally reported in the media but mostly in niche outlets.
2018 – Investigations renewed; some documents began leaking, including legal depositions.
2019 – Epstein arrested federally in New York. Media coverage exploded. His death in jail amplified public attention.
Much of the “Epstein files” were already public or under investigation before Trump became president, though major media coverage spiked around his 2019 arrest.
It’s possible the political environment under Trump heightened coverage in certain media outlets (especially right-leaning ones framing Epstein in connection to political rivals), but the core files would have emerged anyway.
The public’s broad awareness and emotional involvement were highest after Epstein’s death, in August 2019, under controversial circumstances. This created a national sensation: conspiracy theories, calls for investigations, and massive media coverage.
QAnon, the movement that emerged around 2017, built its core belief on the idea that a secret network of elites was abusing children, with Epstein as a key example. Trump was framed as the hero who would “drain the swamp” and bring them to justice. The public’s emotional engagement grew because this combined a real scandal, with a story of moral clarity and Trump promising to fight it.
When people learned Trump was closely connected to Epstein, it confused and upset many. Supporters felt betrayed or tried to defend him, while critics felt angry and proven right. It made the story even more emotional because it clashed with the idea of Trump as a hero fighting powerful abusers. WHAT WOULD YOU EXPECT?!?
It's Trump and his own regime, who are exacerbating the scandal, by being incompetent liars. IF Trump is actually innocent of horrible crimes, they are doing their absolute best to create an appearance of him being guilty and trying to cover it up.
1) Trump called the Epstein investigation and files a hoax
He repeatedly said the Epstein case was fabricated by political opponents, even though DOJ/FBI investigative files and sworn records clearly exist.
2) Epstein “missing minute” CCTV claim contradicted
DOJ initially said a missing minute of jail surveillance footage was due to automatic camera reset. Later releases contained that minute, proving the explanation false.
3) FBI video was not truly raw or complete
Independent analysis showed the released prison video had edits and gaps, contradicting DOJ/FBI claims that it was raw and complete.
4) Missing and withheld FBI interviews and offline files
Multiple FBI interview summaries, including three with serious allegations involving Trump, were never released. Tens of thousands of other Epstein documents remain offline or heavily redacted, contradicting claims that all responsive records had been published.
5) DOJ removed or took down previously posted documents without explanation
Documents briefly released after initial disclosure were later removed from the public Epstein file database with no public justification, raising transparency concerns.
IF YOU MAKE YOURSELF LOOK GUILTY AS FUCK, YOU MIGHT JUST BE GUILTY AS FUCK!!!
What about the chanting death to the USA 🇺🇸 what about the burning of our flags what about their nuclear program that they have been forbidden to have they are getting everything they deserve you talk about presidents with balls they’re were none until now
The new chant is death to Iran 🇮🇷 how quickly the Democrats forget
"chanting death to the USA"? How many millions of Muslims has the US murdered over the past few decades?
"burning of our flags" That's just free speech.
"their nuclear program that they have been forbidden to have"
Who do you think you are, for forbidden other countries something that you already have? It's not like we can trust the US with them. No other country has ever used them. You made a DEAL with them, and all the world saw that they kept that deal and your president violated it. Without that deal, they can do whatever they want.
The US is the prime reason for the Middle East being horrible.
Every time they achieved some stability, your country fucked them over for oil.
That kind of treatment radicalizes people. Hell, you are a lunatic radical for ....
for what actually? Why are you such a radical? What reason do you have to hate
so many people? Are you missing something in life or do you actually care about
other people being less fortunate than yourself?
Not really i have many friends from there they are nice people I’m not sure what happened with anal licker he must have had a bad childhood maybe he was molested
Just look at all the different countries Iran is firing upon do you really think they should have nukes speak from your heart just think we could be saving your ass once again IRAN 🇮🇷 is the biggest bunch of murderous cut throats in the world and it’s about time we stop them
Now you’re just talking stupid
All the countries that make up the United Nations all agree that IRAN 🇮🇷 cannot have nuclear weapons any how it was great watching that Iran ship sink to the bottom live entertainment
True, and I don't WANT them to have nukes EITHER.
That's why the JCPOA made a deal with Iran. Trump blew up that deal.
That was stupid, because that deal had backing from allies and foes.
(Breaking a deal signals you’re unreliable, which makes future deals harder)
It would have been easy to enforce it even further.
Trump was lying when he claimed that Iran was not keeping the deal.
All the inspectors were telling him that Iran was keeping it.
Iran only went back on the deal, AFTER Trump did.
And now you are spending a billion per day enforcing a non-existent deal.
You keep supporting a dumb-ass who keeps bumbling your country into trouble. If it was only your country, I wouldn't care, or at least a lot less, because it's your right to vote to affect your OWN FUTURE, but this clown affects EVERYONE.
If you had managed your garage like Trump manages your country,
you would have been bankrupted a very long time ago.
What about that chant, Dgraff? Did you forget about this?
“ Yes, the U.S. strongly supported Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi of Iran, seeing him as a crucial Cold War ally against Soviet influence, providing military aid and backing his authoritarian rule, especially after helping orchestrate the 1953 coup that restored him to power, which ultimately fueled anti-American sentiment leading to the 1979 revolution.”
That was our CIA that did that. He was as bad as the current regime and the reason there was a revolution to bring the current government to power. They have the right to feel that way, and before you get your knickers in a bunch, I seem to remember a “certain member” saying some yrs back, “ let’s nuke all of Iran”
I am sorry you 2, my memory aint as short as my dick,
I was in the hospital and I bet I watched carter shake hands thru the window of a building about 75 fucking times. The only reason those hostages survived is Reagon was going to blow that place to hell.
only registered users can see external links only registered users can see external links
So I guess you forgot about it>? And trust and love the Iranians? They have proven time and time again they can't be trusted. Do they have enough stuff to make 11 bombs? Who knows? I would be willing to bet they do have some of the many missing suitcase nukes missing from Communist russia after it's collapse. which could be placed in YOUR town or in New york or anywhere else to do harm. ANd how do the iranian people feel about this? Are they making a effort to enjoy and make use of their liberation or what? If they are, you should be happy that another peaceful country can be a ally again.
Non of that matters. You are deflecting. You are trying to justify this. The bottom line is that WE ATTACKED ANOTHER COUNTRY WITHOUT PROVOCATION. If you can dusprove what I just said, then I'll take it back, but, even the Clown is admitting that he gave orders to attack Iran without provocation.
Haven't you ever just gotten to the point in your life where you realize the path you are taking doesn't go anywhere?
Talking to iran about not making nuke bombs is like talking to a grizzly bear about to eat your ass. You will not make any progress.
Has constantly attacking the Middle East gotten you anywhere?
For 30 years, Israel has been saying that Iran is months away from having nukes, and that would mean immediate destruction of Israel. Why is it true now, when it was never true before?
Even if Iran has 1000 nukes, they cannot use them, because that would mean immediate and total destruction of Iran.
You have to stop listening to these stupid lies. You are CUCKED!
Progress comes from supporting your own country's progress, by improving education, so people can develop themselves, and by improving their quality
of life, so they don't worry about the basics of living, but be productive citizens. Instead, you treat everyone like lazy bums, criminals or slaves to the entitled few. You have tried that for DECADES, resulting in the entitled few getting wealthier than kings, while the working class is getting poorer and poorer.
When will you finally realize this path only leads to serfdom?
Uh, you seem to forget when a muslim kills themself trying to kill a infidel, like you and I, they are indoctrinated to think they will go to a place and enjoy 72 virgins. Which, if you think about it, they are not promised any particular gender or species of virgin so the joke may be on them after all.
But to think the threat of suicide if they use nukes to kill Americans is a deterrent, you are very naive. did the hyjackers of the planes used during 9-11 parachute to safety?
But DAMN, I'm slamming my head against the wall that you don't understand
the HUGE GAP IN YOUR THINKING.
Those extremist Muslims are sacrificing themselves for A GOAL!!!
Their goal is the ISLAMIC STATE.
Nuking the US, would mean suicide FOR ALL OF THEM!!!!!
That would mean NO Islamic state.
Don't you understand that? OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!
It's not the Islamist leaders who are sacrificing themselves.
They have their brainwashed numbskulls for that.
It's easy to radicalize people who are living in poverty and misery.
It's also easy to blame Israel and the US for that, because you
have been killing millions of Muslims, for many decades now.
Every single one of your wars has left them in rubble and chaos.
Even the Iranians who welcome the US now, will turn against the US,
if your bombs kill too many of their family members.
I very much doubt if leaders like Khomeini ACTUALLY believe their
nonsense religion, or if it's just a TOOL, to control the masses.
It takes a lot more effort to make people just as willing to sacrifice
themselves for a leader, without religious indoctrination.

So they are already having issues with charging electric cars?
Sheesh,what about in 5 years? The power company are not permited to build new power plants.Solar and wind are going to be important to keep the grid up. But that didn't work in Texas did it?
They make a lot of energy in Texas,but how many folks died over the winter this past 1?
Angel1227!
So a private, for profit, company did not plan on a hard winter so their production of electricity was not sufficient? And this utility, regulated by the states, failed to meet the demands? This state (Texas) governed by Repukers was not regulated correctly so this company spent less on production and got richer because of it? This sounds very much like a Repuker business idea.
Regulation? Hahaha,look at californicated, that is what happens when you over regulate. No one can trim trees off the lines, the power company has to cut power off in high winds,that is the result of Liberal-democrat regulation. Hug the trees,to hell with the humans.
I fault the power companys in texas to a point but I also fault the citizens for lack of preparedness.
The power companies in Texas are now have trouble providing enough power for air-conditioning. The problem in the winter were not a fluke. It happens again only months later. Prices for power skyrocketed again. Many people again received electric bills for thousands of dollars. Texas' power market is not a good example of 'good' deregulation.
Face it, sometimes you need regulation, especially for basic facilities like power.
Did I mention California? Was this the subject of the conversation? This is about Texas and it’s power company. Phart reply to this or open another thread.
I posted a link to a news report about california having issues with electric car charging,
And I then mentioned the issues in texas with electricity.
What everyone is missing here is the fact there is NOT enough electricity being produced to meet CURRENT demand.As Ananas has indicated.So imagine if you will,5-10 years from now,when there is GREATER demand? What a mess we are in for.
Regulation is not the solution. that is how you GOT TO THIS POINT. To many regulations preventing new power plants being built and trying to snuff out coal,a effective energy source.
Phart do you think power companies sat down in the 1920’s and said, “We are building for the future so, in 1945, we stop because there’ll be too many regulations to conduct business”?
You think that if they are running short they won’t try to catch up? The regulations you protest are there to protect the people and the environment. But, knowing how you think, fuck that. Let coal continue to pollute. We’ll be dead by the time our grandkids die of poisoned air.
newest nuclear power plant started in 2016.

Only 2 under construction according to this chart.

The US shut down how many? lets see
only registered users can see external links
Now, we shut down 39 and we are building 2. Does that sound like regulations are helping any? 2, there are 50 states. So state regulation is not changing anything where it may be either.
If you want coal gone,you need to have a replacement handy before hand.
Maybe those old reactors have become very dangerous over time and/or they are not as efficient as the new ones.
Nuclear power is not the solution. There are 80 sites in the United States where nuclear waste is stored. Some of it is stored temporary in a location that is not safe long term. The best uranium sites are already running out and it's getting ever more expensive to mine the stuff.
That waste has to be looked after for the next 20,000 to 1M years, before it's safe. Humanity probably kills itself before that or there might be a few survivors that don't know how to keep the waste safe and radiation will finish them off. But who cares, right?
Well Ananas, at least we have some common ground, I h@te nuclear and wish people would have enough sense to study other ideas.
I just used nuclear here because MOST tree huggers-liberals,think nuclear is the answer.And it has Ooodles of issues that take Many years to deal with.
Actually, I even prefer fossil fuels over nuclear, even though I'm a tree hugger-liberal. Nuclear might be a bit better on carbon emissions when the reactor is built, but building new ones creates so much emissions, it takes 20 years to recover.
Another problem is that nuclear reactors take ages to start up and stop again, which is not practical as backup for solar and wind. Fossil fuels are at least needed until we have enough geothermal, hydro (incl. wave), biofuel, biogas, hydrogen, chemical storage (formic acid), thermal energy storage, battery storage and whatever I forgot or they think up next.
qoute "Reducing the overall demand for electricity makes it easier for renewables like solar and wind to fill the gap, and targeted projects can reduce demand on the grid at peak times."
Eh so more electric cars will reduce demand?
I know you are not a engineer,but even you should be able to figure out that can't work.
I don't pretend to be an engineer, but, I do know electric vehicles will not burn fossil fuels and pollute. If (and it looks like they are) the local electric companies can't handle the load they will have to upgrade. Eventually they will reach parity. Again, I say to you, if a problem exists, there will have to be an adjustment. Electric companies are allowed by government to be monopolies, but, they can loose it all if they can't provide proper service.
Coal is pretty much done as an industry. Not just because of regulations, but because investors and insurers are now backing away. If we all switch to electric cars soon, there's definitely a challenge to provide that electricity, but the overall power consumption will go down. Electric cars are more efficient. Now, I'm not talking about Tesla's that do 0 to 60 in 2 s and are comparable to a Porsche, but sensible electric cars that are appearing now.
It's nice to see that the world is moving towards new energy solutions, such as electric cars. We can't afford burning fossil fuels any longer. I'm glad to see that everyone agrees on that. Perhaps Saudi Arabia will be unhappy, but that country is a militant dictatorship with
groas violations of human rights, so the US or Europe don't need them as an ally.
Um, who do you think backed the loans for the solar farms around here? Saudi Arabia.
If they can't sell us oil ,they will make their money on interest from loans.
We could afford to use fossil fuels if we could finish our pipelines and drill in otherwise useless lands like up north in alaska where there is nothing but woods.
The alaskan pipeline built long ago,was supposed to be such a wildlife disaster,ha,the animals love it,it is warm near the pipeline.
Eh yea,some,but nuclear wipes out MILES of earth for 100's of years. Check out Chernobyl sometime.
California has MILES of coast line,Why are they not looking into this tech?
only registered users can see external links
Instead of wasting all that coast line for half naked people to lay around and spread covid,there could be power plants there!
NO pollution! No noise that is not already there,and erosion control! WOW,
Kansas,could be using wind and solar to help of course.
Another non polluting power source,
only registered users can see external links
Same here! No theorys posted, those are technology's already being tested and shown to work,perhaps just not as efficient as others.
I actually use some old equipment that is electric that was made way back before it was "cool" So I research alternative energy sources and what not for that reason. If I lived near a active stream,you better believe there would be a water wheel turning a old Gm alternator to charge back up batterys.
When I build a green house,yep,I will use geothermal to help with temp control.
If I lived next to a moving stream, I, too, would use it for power, however, you would need several deep discharged batteries and a back up energy system in case you deplete your batteries too fast. I would also go upstream a few hundred yards and divert some of the water through pipes to have energy free house water.
That sound very cool. I would love to do some tinkering like that.
Here are some fun do-it-yourself builds on YouTube.
I had seen them before and it made me regret living next to a stationary ditch.
Maybe there are some ideas you can use:

I DO NOT quite understand the amount of AMPS he is getting from that washing machine motor.
Here they say 600W should be possible. A washing machine motor will use 400 to 1300 watts. They might not be as efficient to generate the same amount, but can still do the job pretty well, as it seams and should be very easy to obtain.

How many Chernobyl’s do you know? One in the states, one in Japan, and one in Russia. Here, in Miami-Dade county, FP&L has been operating the local one over 50 yrs. Same in other cities around the state. And no pollution
3 mile island here in the US. Prompted a nation wide process of adding new cooling systems.1 of my neighbors worked on the crew that went around building it. Made a fortune doing it.
You don't hear about the Mcquire plant here in NC getting to hot but it did a few years ago. The tree huggers were angry because a type of fish was dieing from getting caught in the cooling system water.So they put a screen over the intake. Worked fine for a while. Until the screen clogged up with little fishes.A employee told me about it.
Here is a long list of potential accidents and how to deal with them
only registered users can see external links
Yea,I know,I got dizzy after 10 minutes of readin!
I can't see a coal plant being any where near as dangerous to operate
So what's your point? Just let any company kill whatever part of nature is in their way, because US companies are completely inadequate in solving any problem ever?
They can't even take in water, without sucking up all the fishes
Ananas2xlekker my point is that all companies have a responsibility to protect the environment. People are part of the environment. In this case, the “sucking up of all the fishes” is not because the plant is nuclear. Yes, the reactors do need cooling. Cooling canals and reservoirs are needed. In this case, some knucklehead got the idea to put a screen on the pickup line. Duh, a cheap fuckup because of a cheap fix. Seems to me that an industry that can build nuclear reactors to make electricity should be able to prevent “little fishies” from clogging the intake of cooling water. Spent nuclear fuel rods are a problem. Finding a location to store them safely is still a problem and hopefully it better be resolved soon.
According to the Rainforest Action Network. For decades, climate change has been a global crisis that will impact every single person and living being on this planet. Now, according to the latest UN climate report, we have less than 10 years to cut global emissions in half.
Burning fossil fuels isn’t just bad for the climate, these industries also violate countless fundamental human rights. From frontline communities facing a fossil fuel pipeline on their land to Indigenous people facing fires in the Amazon to worker rights violations on palm oil plantations, the industries fueling climate change are also fueling injustice.
Coal, tar sands, and fracked gas show everything that’s wrong within the fossil fuel industry. These extraction practices are harming people and planet every day, and big banks are fueling this destruction of the planet and negligence of life.
So what’s so bad about coal, tar sands, and fracked gas? Basically everything, from start to the finish these fossil fuels are disastrous.

Like I said, “What you don’t see can be more dangerous.”
Managing the Chernobyl disaster has probably already cost more energy than several nuclear reactors will produce in their lifetime. The exclusion zone of Chernobyl; 2600 km², if filled with solar panels, would produce 234 TWh/year. That's about twice the whole electricity consumption of The Netherlands.
So we only would need half that exclusion zone filled with solar panels
and that would cost about 78 Billion Euro's. That would raise our national debt from 56.3% of GDP to 66.2% of GDP.
Jobs for all our unemployed people will pull that debt down soon enough.
You forget that the disaster in Chernobyl happened to a nuclear electric plant that would never be built in the US. According to the Atomic Energy Commission, this type of reactor was ver vulnerable to the disaster. The USSR didn’t care. Like the Chinese, they wanted results.
How about Fukushima?
Accidents happen. Even if the chance is 1:1M (historically proven it's much higher), when you multiply that risk by the number of nuclear power plants required, something catastrophic will happen at some point. Such catastrophes could cost more than the complete energy transition.
That's not worth it, because nuclear power is only a temporary solution, because the uranium will run out at some point. It's already becoming more and more expensive to mine the stuff.
Even if all those problems didn't exist, it still takes 10 years before any nuclear power plant has compensates his own build. But it first takes 10 years to build any. Then after 20 years, they are just as CO2 effecient as wind and solar. That's too late. We need to lower CO2 emissions ASAP.
Anyone with some money to spare can invest in their own solar panels,
lower their costs and be less dependent on power companies.
It's nice to have air-conditioning in a heat wave, when the government
is telling you not to use power or you can't afford it when power companies are charging you 100x the normal rate.
Fukushima’s disaster included the meltdown but IT WAS THE SUNAMI THAT CAUSED IT AND MOST OF THE DEVASTATION of that city. Last I’ve checked there are no dinamices happening in Kansas. I will give you this one. In Californicate state they’ve built one on the fault line. Engineer had too much Blow.
Isn't Kansas part of Tornado Alley?
There are al sorts of natural disasters, but it can also be a terrorist attack or a hacker or just basic human error.
Yes, it is but you can’t compare a wind storm, even a tornado, to a sunami. Our nuclear plant in Turkey Point went through several hurricanes . Hurricanes produce tornados inside the storm. Hurricane Andrews destroyed large swaths out of the county. Huge communities disappeared. The Turkey Point plan took it in stride.
BTW, instead of Kansas I could have picked West Virginia --------------------------------------- added after 4 minutes
As far as anything else, we have to trust security will prevail. Every thing is a crapshoot. Hopefully we don’t roll snake eyes,
Or just choose all the many alternatives and don't build any new nuclear power plants. Why are you such a proponent of nuclear energy? What do you consider the advantage over truly sustainable energy technologies?
Except for solar energies nuclear is the most reliable. I guess I’m like a Trump supporter but with nuclear capability--------------------------------------- added after 11
I was talking to phart.
I also don't like nuclear energy and my arguments are in line with the science on climate change. That uranium has to be mined, which also emits CO2.
A nuclear power plant takes a lot of energy to be built and maintained.
Then afterwards we have to keep the waste safe for the next 20,000 years.
On the short term nuclear is about as energy/CO2 efficient as wind power and even less than solar. In the long term nuclear has a horrible energy/CO2 efficiency, because keeping the waste safe also costs energy. Also, building nuclear power plants takes a long time and lots of materials. It takes about 10 years before a nuclear power plant compensates his own build. That's about 1-1.5 years for wind energy and 2 years for solar. However solar is cheaper
on maintenance.
Other than that, I agree with most of what you said.
All energy technology costs money, materials, energy and land to build and maintain. All energy technology has downsides like pollution, mineral shortages, exploitation of people and CO2 emissions. We just need to stop with the worst energy technologies first and expand on the best ones the most.
It doesn't require completely changing our life or have impact on the quality of our life. However climate change already impacts our life and it will only get worse. We can either choose to accept some changes now and prevent total catastrophe later or we can deny the truth until catastrophe proves us wrong.
“ Mocking someone whose son is dying of cancer says far more about your character, Mongo, than it does about me. My focus is on supporting my son during the hardest time of his life, not engaging with cruelty.
My son is dying of cancer. If you think that’s something to mock, that’s deeply disturbing. I hope you take a moment to think about the kind of person you want to be……or are.
While you’re making jokes, my family is facing the reality of losing someone we love. I wouldn’t wish this pain on anyone. I hope one day you understand why what you said was so wrong.
For the record: my son is dying of cancer, and Mongo AKA Pitbull or Sir-Skittles (I’m not sure who Mongo is) thought that was something to mock.
I’ll let people draw their own conclusions about the kind of character that takes.”

There is only 1 way this doesn't escalate into another “endless war”, and that's Trump declaring a victory, saying Iran cannot make a nuke anymore, running away with his tail between his legs, and let the Iranian people fend for themselves in utter chaos, while a similar or worse regime takes control in a bloody mess.
Only a short time after, we are in the exact same situation as before with Iran.
The only difference is that the Iranians NEVER want the US to 'help them' again.
It was well over 115 this morning.

1979? Why? What, exactly, was Iran doing that made it seem they were walking all over the United States? We have embargoed their oil industry. We bombed their nuclear setup in October. And why?
Granted, if they had nukes, they could have threatened the Middle East countries including Israel. You could stretch that to Europe, but, didn’t the Clown say Europe is on its own? So, why is this on us? You talk about “balls” but you forget some of the most “ballsy” presidents ignored Iran. They just kept an eye on them. Reagan, Bush I, Bush II, and a guy named Trump, left them relatively alone. We even had a nuclear treaty that the Clown dissolved in his first term.
You want me to tell you why we attacked Iran? It’s not “Balls”. It’s dicks up 16 yr old girls and the Epstein files. He desperately needs to distract the Nation.
Iran was not nor is it now a current threat to us. Now they, as strong or weak as they are, are defending their sovereignty and, in their eyes, the need to avenge the deaths we caused.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m not shedding any tears for that despot Ayatollah Khamenei or his henchmen. But, now, many innocents will lose their lives because a convicted felon and alleged pendophil.e is crapping his diaper.
However, what do you know, it turned out to be true.
And then we found out that Trump knew all along what was happening, was best friends with the worst one, and picked many of the others for positions in his administration and Trump has even hired the same lawyers as Epstein. He is cutting deals with Ghislaine Maxwell and she is openly promising to protect him for a pardon. Meanwhile, Trump's handpicked loyalists in the FBI and DOJ have been lying their asses of every single day, and breaking the law for him. No person in his right mind will ever believe that Trump isn't guilty as fuck of many horrible things. He would never go through the trouble if he wasn't because fucking porn-stars and models and then having the right-wing media be complicit in a cover-up was dismissed like he accidentally coughed on someone. No, it must be something incredibly bad,
for him to care this much about it.
Why can't you see the potential scam here?
Unless there is physical evidence, there shouldn't be a conviction by the people or the courts
This is the 14 page indictment of Jeffrey Epstein by the Justice department after an investigation by the FBI. If after this you still believe this is a "she said/he said" situation, then Phart, there's no hope for you
Still nothing in there about eating them.
It shows that you don't do ANY research into this case.
This is the biggest scandal in US history, and you don't care.
WHY DO YOU THINK THERE ARE OVER 6 MILLION PAGES?
Here are the main categories of evidence that were reported in Epstein’s cases:
1. Physical Evidence From Searches
When authorities searched Epstein’s properties (including homes in New York and the U.S. Virgin Islands), they reportedly recovered:
- Photographs and digital images of under@ge girls
- CDs and hard drives containing images
- Large amounts of cash
- Documents and contact books
Search warrants and seized materials are common forms of corroborating evidence in criminal cases.
2. Digital & Electronic Evidence
This can include:
- Emails
- Text messages
- Call logs
- Flight manifests from private planes
- Computer metadata
- Surveillance footage
In Epstein’s case, flight logs from his private jet were frequently cited as documentary evidence showing who traveled where and when.
3. Financial Records
Because trafficking cases often involve payment, investigators examine:
- Bank transfers
- Cash withdrawals
- Payments to alleged victims
- Corporate shell structures
- Real estate transactions
Financial trails can show patterns consistent with recruitment, payment, or concealment.
4. Witness Testimony (Beyond Victims)
In addition to accusers, prosecutors may rely on:
- Former employees (pilots, house staff, assistants)
- Associates or recruiters
- Third-party witnesses
- Law enforcement officers
For example, in related proceedings involving Ghislaine Maxwell, former staff and documentary evidence were also introduced in court.
5. Contemporaneous Records. These include:
- Diaries or appointment books
- Visitor logs
- Calendars
- Address books
- Epstein’s so-called “little black book” became widely discussed because it documented contacts and associations.
6. Prior Plea Agreement & Court Records
Epstein previously entered a controversial plea deal in Florida in 2008. Court filings, depositions, and civil suits created a large documentary record that later prosecutors could reference.
Folks that dems want safe,won't suffer, those the dems hate,will suffer.
it is being weaponized.
You're very happy to accuse transgenders of that, with ZERO evidence, but when your side is heavily involved, you're blaming the victims.
QAnon was right, they just went silent when they found out
it's their own side doing it. Fucking hypocrites.
2005–2008 – Florida authorities investigated Epstein; he eventually got a controversial plea deal in 2008, widely criticized for being too lenient.
2011–2016 – Epstein’s connections, including to Trump, Bill Clinton, and others, were occasionally reported in the media but mostly in niche outlets.
2018 – Investigations renewed; some documents began leaking, including legal depositions.
2019 – Epstein arrested federally in New York. Media coverage exploded. His death in jail amplified public attention.
Much of the “Epstein files” were already public or under investigation before Trump became president, though major media coverage spiked around his 2019 arrest.
It’s possible the political environment under Trump heightened coverage in certain media outlets (especially right-leaning ones framing Epstein in connection to political rivals), but the core files would have emerged anyway.
The public’s broad awareness and emotional involvement were highest after Epstein’s death, in August 2019, under controversial circumstances. This created a national sensation: conspiracy theories, calls for investigations, and massive media coverage.
QAnon, the movement that emerged around 2017, built its core belief on the idea that a secret network of elites was abusing children, with Epstein as a key example. Trump was framed as the hero who would “drain the swamp” and bring them to justice. The public’s emotional engagement grew because this combined a real scandal, with a story of moral clarity and Trump promising to fight it.
When people learned Trump was closely connected to Epstein, it confused and upset many. Supporters felt betrayed or tried to defend him, while critics felt angry and proven right. It made the story even more emotional because it clashed with the idea of Trump as a hero fighting powerful abusers. WHAT WOULD YOU EXPECT?!?
It's Trump and his own regime, who are exacerbating the scandal, by being incompetent liars. IF Trump is actually innocent of horrible crimes, they are doing their absolute best to create an appearance of him being guilty and trying to cover it up.
1) Trump called the Epstein investigation and files a hoax
He repeatedly said the Epstein case was fabricated by political opponents, even though DOJ/FBI investigative files and sworn records clearly exist.
2) Epstein “missing minute” CCTV claim contradicted
DOJ initially said a missing minute of jail surveillance footage was due to automatic camera reset. Later releases contained that minute, proving the explanation false.
3) FBI video was not truly raw or complete
Independent analysis showed the released prison video had edits and gaps, contradicting DOJ/FBI claims that it was raw and complete.
4) Missing and withheld FBI interviews and offline files
Multiple FBI interview summaries, including three with serious allegations involving Trump, were never released. Tens of thousands of other Epstein documents remain offline or heavily redacted, contradicting claims that all responsive records had been published.
5) DOJ removed or took down previously posted documents without explanation
Documents briefly released after initial disclosure were later removed from the public Epstein file database with no public justification, raising transparency concerns.
IF YOU MAKE YOURSELF LOOK GUILTY AS FUCK, YOU MIGHT JUST BE GUILTY AS FUCK!!!
The new chant is death to Iran 🇮🇷 how quickly the Democrats forget
"burning of our flags" That's just free speech.
"their nuclear program that they have been forbidden to have"
Who do you think you are, for forbidden other countries something that you already have? It's not like we can trust the US with them. No other country has ever used them. You made a DEAL with them, and all the world saw that they kept that deal and your president violated it. Without that deal, they can do whatever they want.
The US is the prime reason for the Middle East being horrible.
Every time they achieved some stability, your country fucked them over for oil.
That kind of treatment radicalizes people. Hell, you are a lunatic radical for ....
for what actually? Why are you such a radical? What reason do you have to hate
so many people? Are you missing something in life or do you actually care about
other people being less fortunate than yourself?
Nukes for everyone
I didn't come here looking for trouble, I just found it.
I found people who are justifying evil deeds
or worse, don't even bother to justify them.
Nice people speak out against that sort of thing.
I have the best parents in the world, who taught me right from wrong.
It looks very much like you weren't as lucky as I was. Sorry about that.
What would the US have done, if Iran bombed Trump to death?
All the countries that make up the United Nations all agree that IRAN 🇮🇷 cannot have nuclear weapons any how it was great watching that Iran ship sink to the bottom live entertainment
That's why the JCPOA made a deal with Iran. Trump blew up that deal.
That was stupid, because that deal had backing from allies and foes.
(Breaking a deal signals you’re unreliable, which makes future deals harder)
It would have been easy to enforce it even further.
Trump was lying when he claimed that Iran was not keeping the deal.
All the inspectors were telling him that Iran was keeping it.
Iran only went back on the deal, AFTER Trump did.
And now you are spending a billion per day enforcing a non-existent deal.
You keep supporting a dumb-ass who keeps bumbling your country into trouble. If it was only your country, I wouldn't care, or at least a lot less, because it's your right to vote to affect your OWN FUTURE, but this clown affects EVERYONE.
If you had managed your garage like Trump manages your country,
you would have been bankrupted a very long time ago.
“ Yes, the U.S. strongly supported Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi of Iran, seeing him as a crucial Cold War ally against Soviet influence, providing military aid and backing his authoritarian rule, especially after helping orchestrate the 1953 coup that restored him to power, which ultimately fueled anti-American sentiment leading to the 1979 revolution.”
That was our CIA that did that. He was as bad as the current regime and the reason there was a revolution to bring the current government to power. They have the right to feel that way, and before you get your knickers in a bunch, I seem to remember a “certain member” saying some yrs back, “ let’s nuke all of Iran”
I was in the hospital and I bet I watched carter shake hands thru the window of a building about 75 fucking times. The only reason those hostages survived is Reagon was going to blow that place to hell.

DEATH TO IRAN 🇮🇷
You were once able to talk about things.
I wish you well.
Talking to iran about not making nuke bombs is like talking to a grizzly bear about to eat your ass. You will not make any progress.
For 30 years, Israel has been saying that Iran is months away from having nukes, and that would mean immediate destruction of Israel. Why is it true now, when it was never true before?
Even if Iran has 1000 nukes, they cannot use them, because that would mean immediate and total destruction of Iran.
You have to stop listening to these stupid lies. You are CUCKED!
Progress comes from supporting your own country's progress, by improving education, so people can develop themselves, and by improving their quality
of life, so they don't worry about the basics of living, but be productive citizens. Instead, you treat everyone like lazy bums, criminals or slaves to the entitled few. You have tried that for DECADES, resulting in the entitled few getting wealthier than kings, while the working class is getting poorer and poorer.
When will you finally realize this path only leads to serfdom?
But to think the threat of suicide if they use nukes to kill Americans is a deterrent, you are very naive. did the hyjackers of the planes used during 9-11 parachute to safety?
But DAMN, I'm slamming my head against the wall that you don't understand
the HUGE GAP IN YOUR THINKING.
Those extremist Muslims are sacrificing themselves for A GOAL!!!
Their goal is the ISLAMIC STATE.
Nuking the US, would mean suicide FOR ALL OF THEM!!!!!
That would mean NO Islamic state.
Don't you understand that? OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!
It's not the Islamist leaders who are sacrificing themselves.
They have their brainwashed numbskulls for that.
It's easy to radicalize people who are living in poverty and misery.
It's also easy to blame Israel and the US for that, because you
have been killing millions of Muslims, for many decades now.
Every single one of your wars has left them in rubble and chaos.
Even the Iranians who welcome the US now, will turn against the US,
if your bombs kill too many of their family members.
I very much doubt if leaders like Khomeini ACTUALLY believe their
nonsense religion, or if it's just a TOOL, to control the masses.
It takes a lot more effort to make people just as willing to sacrifice
themselves for a leader, without religious indoctrination.
So they are already having issues with charging electric cars?
Sheesh,what about in 5 years? The power company are not permited to build new power plants.Solar and wind are going to be important to keep the grid up. But that didn't work in Texas did it?
They make a lot of energy in Texas,but how many folks died over the winter this past 1?
Angel1227!
So a private, for profit, company did not plan on a hard winter so their production of electricity was not sufficient? And this utility, regulated by the states, failed to meet the demands? This state (Texas) governed by Repukers was not regulated correctly so this company spent less on production and got richer because of it? This sounds very much like a Repuker business idea.
I fault the power companys in texas to a point but I also fault the citizens for lack of preparedness.
Face it, sometimes you need regulation, especially for basic facilities like power.
And I then mentioned the issues in texas with electricity.
What everyone is missing here is the fact there is NOT enough electricity being produced to meet CURRENT demand.As Ananas has indicated.So imagine if you will,5-10 years from now,when there is GREATER demand? What a mess we are in for.
Regulation is not the solution. that is how you GOT TO THIS POINT. To many regulations preventing new power plants being built and trying to snuff out coal,a effective energy source.
You think that if they are running short they won’t try to catch up? The regulations you protest are there to protect the people and the environment. But, knowing how you think, fuck that. Let coal continue to pollute. We’ll be dead by the time our grandkids die of poisoned air.

If you want coal gone,you need to have a replacement handy before hand.
Nuclear power is not the solution. There are 80 sites in the United States where nuclear waste is stored. Some of it is stored temporary in a location that is not safe long term. The best uranium sites are already running out and it's getting ever more expensive to mine the stuff.
That waste has to be looked after for the next 20,000 to 1M years, before it's safe. Humanity probably kills itself before that or there might be a few survivors that don't know how to keep the waste safe and radiation will finish them off. But who cares, right?

Like nuclear is the only alternative to coal.
I just used nuclear here because MOST tree huggers-liberals,think nuclear is the answer.And it has Ooodles of issues that take Many years to deal with.
Actually, I even prefer fossil fuels over nuclear, even though I'm a tree hugger-liberal. Nuclear might be a bit better on carbon emissions when the reactor is built, but building new ones creates so much emissions, it takes 20 years to recover.
Another problem is that nuclear reactors take ages to start up and stop again, which is not practical as backup for solar and wind. Fossil fuels are at least needed until we have enough geothermal, hydro (incl. wave), biofuel, biogas, hydrogen, chemical storage (formic acid), thermal energy storage, battery storage and whatever I forgot or they think up next.
Then there is off-course the waste and the risk.
Eh so more electric cars will reduce demand?
I know you are not a engineer,but even you should be able to figure out that can't work.
groas violations of human rights, so the US or Europe don't need them as an ally.
If they can't sell us oil ,they will make their money on interest from loans.
We could afford to use fossil fuels if we could finish our pipelines and drill in otherwise useless lands like up north in alaska where there is nothing but woods.
The alaskan pipeline built long ago,was supposed to be such a wildlife disaster,ha,the animals love it,it is warm near the pipeline.

According to the Rainforest Action Network. For decades, climate change has been a global crisis that will impact every single person and living being on this planet. Now, according to the latest UN climate report, we have less than 10 years to cut global emissions in half.
Burning fossil fuels isn’t just bad for the climate, these industries also violate countless fundamental human rights. From frontline communities facing a fossil fuel pipeline on their land to Indigenous people facing fires in the Amazon to worker rights violations on palm oil plantations, the industries fueling climate change are also fueling injustice.
Coal, tar sands, and fracked gas show everything that’s wrong within the fossil fuel industry. These extraction practices are harming people and planet every day, and big banks are fueling this destruction of the planet and negligence of life.
So what’s so bad about coal, tar sands, and fracked gas? Basically everything, from start to the finish these fossil fuels are disastrous.

Other than that, I agree with most of what you said.
