Railway Strike Threatens U.S. Consumers

As a possible rail way strike looms, the U.S. industry braces for impact. One of the biggest rail unions rejected a deal earlier this week failing to approve contracts over concerns about demanding schedules and the lack of paid sick time. Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN) is warning American consumers that it is “highly likely” a strike will happen in the midst of the busy holiday season. “I think it’s highly likely,” Hagerty said, adding “I mean, you hit the nail on the head. The union bosses basically forced their union members to buck up and accept this deal just to get them through the…midterm elections.

Are the Biden/Democrat's policies insane or diabolical??? 11/25/2022 Biden's first act in office was to stop the Keystone pipeline. He has declared war on fossil fuels, and has said, "no more drilling," in order to transition to so-called "Green Energy. " Today the reported inflation rate is 7.7% down from over 8%, both numbers are far too low as food and energy are no longer used in the calculation. True inflation is closer to 12 or 13%. Most people believe inflation is a measure of increasing prices, however, it is actually a measure of the falling value of the dollar and it's purchasing power. Since Biden took office, the National Debt has risen from 24T to over 31T in less than two years. With the current inflation rate it is imposable to service the debt. The current runaway inflation rate is a direct result of the Biden Administration's war of fossil fuels, which they claim is necessary to protect the environment and curb "Global Warming/ Climate Change. This claim is easily proven false by the fact that Biden approved a massive petroleum export facility in the Gulf of Mexico, off the coast of Texas, over the Thanksgiving weekend while no one was looking. The world runs on fossil fuels and a forced conversion to so-called "Green Energy," in the U.S. is the cause of the current energy shortage and global inflation. In 2020 the US was energy independent, and a net exporter of energy. Today, because of his policies our Commander and Thief goes about the world begging the Saudis, and third world despots, to sell us oil, while we have the largest proven reserves in the world that government policies prevent us from using. Today, there is a reported global diesel shortage, the US reporting a 30-day supply, the lowest in decades. If supplies run out, the country will come to a complete standstill as everything moves by diesel trucks or diesel electric trains. The electric power supply will fail, though we have spent trillions on "Green Energy," and the people will starve in the dark.

If you're worried about a shortage of toilet paper, I recommend you look at luxebidet.com. It's an add-on bidet feature for existing toilets. I installed one shortly after the last TP freakout began and it cut my need for TP to near zero. Have a look.

Why is this not a bigger story? Getting goods to market requres LOTS of diesel fuel-- shipping it from China to port, moving if off ships, loading it on to trains, taking it to distribution points, breaking it down to load on trucks to take it to all sorts of places in our country, and then smaller delivers to retail outlets. At EVERY step, diesel fuel is needed in virtually all of the steps! Diesel engines produced after 2010 are required to have DEF to reduce emissions, but it TOO is in short supply. This has the potential to STOP commerce. The engineers of one union accepted terms with a 24% increase in salary, but what about the other 17 union labor agreements???? Nice work if you can get it... stock up now before panic buying of empty shelves starts anew! The Boy Scout motto: Be prepared.

This is what unions do, this is why they are democrats. Oh, what happened to the deal Biden made with the unions before the elections to avert a strike. You see, that was just another democrat lying to the public. They do it every time. It's all about screwing the people. And where has little Pettie Bootie been, you know, the guy who is the transportation secretary. Guess he's home changing diapers while the country burns. The shear incompetence of the Biden administration is appalling. Not one person, not freakin one, from Biden on down is qualified for their job. Got it.

A political light bulb went on regarding Adam Schiff’s remark on CNN's "State of the Union" as reported by Breitbart' s Pam Key. In the interview, Schiff again mentioned the Russia hoax he has promoted for five years, if not longer. (Note that Dana Bash did not call Schiff on this huge lie.). With Schiff continuing to assert this gross falsehood, the Democrat Party has, for years, switched from being a loyal opposition party to priding itself as a party of the permanently-attempted coup.

I’m certain that garden-variety illegal fraud, combined with the legal fraud of ballot harvesting and mail-in voting, went a long way to explain how Americans suffering terribly in a bad economy did not deliver a wipeout to the Dems in the 2022 midterms. I also reserve a great deal of blame for the GOP, which is trying hard to drive MAGA from its ranks and is willing to lose to do so. But one cannot get past the fact that the American population, after 60 years of leftist education, may be incapable of connecting cause and effect. That brainwashing is everywhere

In between watching the scandalous FTX crypto scam unfold and making all the Thanksgiving fixings, I’ve joined Twitter, which I’ve refused to participate in for years. One reason for my about-face on the social media site is that Elon Musk, the new owner, is creating a genuine open forum and he’s actively participating as a commentator in the most amusing way. I prefer the Facebook technical setup but despise the way it (like the former Jack Dorsey-run Twitter) uses it to stifle real debate, regularly in one way or another blocking other than left-wing views and information. In time, if Musk achieves his goal, Facebook may reform itself as well

For many Republicans, the final midterm election results were surprising— especially in the states of Arizona, Nevada, and Pennsylvania. Based on polling, it looked likely that Kari Lake, Adam Laxalt, and Mehmet Oz would win their contests. I believe that there are only three likely explanations for the unexpected results: late campaign surges, polling error, or aggressive ballot-harvesting. A late surge? Some Republicans are falling for an illogical narrative put forth by Democrats and the mainstream media.

And surprise: The alleged perpetrators are not MAGA white nationalists. Rather, evidence so far points to migrants, possibly of the illegal kind. This is a bitter pill for most Vineyard residents to swallow. The island’s six towns have all declared themselves to be sanctuary communities.

I really can’t stand Nancy Pelosi, the hypocritical fraud tossed out on her boney rear end by the American public in the last election. The soon to be former Speaker of the House, historic in that she lost the House of Representatives twice, has always been a power-mad post-digested food human exit port (I’m trying to keep it clean while being disgusted by her existence, forgive me). But (no pun intended) on her way out the door, she has decided to become even worse.

Lawyer to revolutionary to tyrant to butcher to victim of the forces he himself had unleashed — that was the arc of the life of Maximillian Robespierre. The architect of The Terror that engulfed France from 1792 until 1794, Robespierre may have been the first despot of the mind. Throughout history, kings and emperors and such had raged across the world, killing people for power and land and glory and to obliterate opponents. But Robespierre's elected dictatorship was the first to systematically kill people in its own territory for not thinking the right way, for not blindly following his lead

At the Federalist, Jordan Boyd offers up a proposed agenda for the new House of Representatives. The Republicans have won a majority. How great is still to be determined. Officially the count is 218, but Lauren Boebert’s opposition, Adam Frisch, conceded. If the certification matches the ballot count that would make the total 219, and they are still counting two districts in California in which the Republican candidates are leading so the count may be as high as 221.Certification of results in at least one county in Arizona are being held up pending examination of the voting machines, and other counties may follow.

Six years out of office, and the Obamas still esteem themselves oracles of racial justice and authorities of truth concerning America’s flaws. As witnessed at the recent unveiling of the Obamas' official White House portraits, in a photo taken in the Oval Office, both Barack and Michelle are positioned shamelessly front and center. Still smarting from the reproof of 2016, the Obamas take any opportunity to publicly defame the character of the political outsider who upset the collective vision Barack hoped Hillary Clinton would set in stone – as well as the people who voted for him.

Former GOP House Speaker Paul Ryan is offering two reasons why GOP voters should walk away from President Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential primary campaign. “We want to win,” the establishment champion told ABC News’ This Week on November 20. Trump “is going to continue to lose altitude” in primary polls because “he’s unelectable because [of] that suburban voter.” The second reason offered by Ryan is his own alternative 2024 White House platform. That platform breaks from Trump’s mostly-populist policies and offers voters a series of healthcare cuts, more wage-cutting migrants, new carbon taxes, and lower taxes for corporate investors. “I have presidential-sized policy ambition, but I really don’t have presidential-sized personal ambition,” said Ryan,

It’s a survival story that appears to be made for the movies. The Carnival cruise ship Valor reported on Thanksgiving day that a passenger had gone overboard. His sister reported him missing around 8 a.m. but hadn’t seen him since he left a bar to use the restroom around 11 p.m. the previous evening. At that point, the U.S. Coast Guard got involved. The ship turned around and retraced its route hoping to find the unidentified man. Eventually, Valor continued on its way with no sign of the man. The Coast Guard conducted an intensive search, alerting all vessels in the area to the emergency. The Coast Guard resources included
