    yep we need more pipelines!

    Pipelines are vastly more efficient, not to mention more environmentally friendly, than trucking or training crude and refined petroleum over long distances. The tree huggers crapping their pants in North Dakota are apparently fine with millions of tons of air pollution from trains and trucks to...

    Bottom of our rivers....

    Rivers are the useful guardians of the past. There have been things fished out of rivers that are thousands of years old.

    The Fake News Depot

    This is a pretty good illustration of the fake news media, and the libtards that lap it up. Warning, adult language contained within. But it's hilarious.

    The Fake News Depot

    Might as well give the full context here. Shortly after the attack police arrested two men. Police did not release their names, but local Quebec City media (CBC Radio One, and CBVT-DT - both of which are part of the state-owned CBC) cited police sources to identify them as a French Canadian and...

    The Trump Card...

    Doesn't really belong here since it's not about Trump. However, plenty of the protests against Trump have been about the Gender Pay Gap. Audi also goes full-on SJW in their Super Bowl ad. I should probably mention the fact that the U.S. has legally required men and women be paid the same wages...

    8 yr old transgender boy banned from Cub scouts

    Speaking of the parents... Do you Michigan folks, at least, know about Corey Maison? She became famous when her mother posted a video of her surprising 14 year old Corey ("after waiting for 2½ years!") with her first box of hormone treatments. The video has been viewed nearly 7 million times...

    Will Trump's Take on Trade Be Boost or Bust for Fleets?

    If there is a trade war with Mexico, 90.3% of the advantages of moving to Mexico (for most manufacturers) suddenly become moot, and moving back to the US will become the cost effective solution if they want to sell their products in the US. The vast difference in wages between the US and Mexico...

    The Trump Card...

    Budweiser's 2017 Super Bowl ad goes full blown social justice warrior. It's the story, in 60 seconds, of Adolphus Busch, when he emigrated to America in the 1850s. He's fleeing hatred and violence, and when he first arrives in America he's told to go back home, that he's not wanted here. He...

    The Trump Card...

    At 9PM, an hour after the Supreme Court nomination announcement, Nancy Pelosi was on a CNN Town Hall with Jake Tapper. On the heels of the announcement, that was the first thing Tapper asked her about. Of course, she immediately said he was a hostile nominee, and listed a whole host of reason...

    8 yr old transgender boy banned from Cub scouts

    I'm telling you, transgenderism is exactly the same type of mental disorder as anorexia. Both manifest themselves in exactly the same way. People look in a mirror and don't see what's there. For giggles, I just did a Google search on "anorexia transgender" and was kind of shocked by the...

    The Trump Card...

    Not only for the TSA, but for the regular traveling public. Many people at LAX, for example, had to lug children and luggage for up to 2 miles to get to terminals, many of them missing their flights. OK, yeah, I realize that's a very first world problem and it doesn't really compare to someone...

    Will Trump's Take on Trade Be Boost or Bust for Fleets?

    Exactly. Plus, a significant percentage of "their" goods are manufactured by US companies. We get a lot of off-season fruits and vegetables, from Mexico (Mexico dominates our fruit and vegetable imports by a wide margin - 69% of vegetable imports and 37% of fruit imports), but we can also get...

    The Trump Card...

    CNN feels Steve Bannon isn't being fairly and properly demonized. They dug up a radio interview from 2010 where Bannon was criticizing Junior Bush for calling Islam a religion of peace. "Islam is not a religion of peace. Islam is a religion of submission. Islam means submission." Further...

    The Trump Card...

    Right. It's a 90 day travel ban from those 7 countries, except for green card holders and US citizens (but they should expect some extra questioning). The order also suspends all refugee admission for 120 days (except for those who are already cleared for entry). And suspends until further...

    The Trump Card...

    We, and the government, are still learning the details of Obamacare. LOL Right now we have the media and Sean Spicer fighting over the use of the word "ban." In the media's defense, Trump himself used the word in a Tweet. And even Spicer has called it "a 90 day ban." Now Spicer is calling it...

    The Trump Card...

    A Senate committee has approved Republican donor and school choice advocate Betsy DeVos for education secretary. I think that's a mistake. I think she will be a disaster.

    Yep, good read. It's also an excellent illustration of bad and selective memory. For example, she says "But often it seems that Trump wants to close the door to aspiring Americans [immigrants]. If that is not the case, I think he should say so, explicitly, especially after this weekend...
