Vast Swath of US at Risk of Summer Blackouts, Regulator Warns

* Vast Swath of US at Risk of Summer Blackouts, Regulator Warns
What are you sayin' -- he shoulda voted approval for the Russian invasion instead?
Absolutely no justifiable reason, not one, for the Russian pumpkin (aka "the former KGB weasel ") to invade a sovereign country... unless of course he sought to steal their land. OK, then it's another matter. I get that :)
Also, I think Bernie made that point in his Bernie way that if we can fund the Ukrainians in their effort to militarily humiliate the Russians, then we can afford another 40 billion to forgive student debt and other good things.
You got to put things into perspective.
Also, if you buy creatine (you don't have to, unless you want to improve your gym performance or you're a vegetarian) then it must be creatine monohydrate and it also, big must, must be the one made in Germany with the "creapure" logo on it.
The US Senate has approved a new package of aid to Ukraine for a record $ 40 billion. Everything would be fine, but the US budget does not have such funds, so we will have to borrow from China, Senator Rand Paul said.
“I think it’s important to know that we don’t have money that we can send, we have to borrow from China to send funds to Ukraine,” the senator from Kentucky said.
"Absolutely no justifiable reason, not one, for the Russian pumpkin (aka "the former KGB weasel ") to invade a sovereign country... unless of course he sought to steal their land. OK, then it's another matter. I get that :)"
The current situation is very similar to Ireland, and the presence of Northern Ireland, which means it is probably as intractable as that issue.
Just like Israel/Palestine.
Each side is convinced they are absolutely right and refuses to see the other side's point of view.
In the Greek scriptures, the word ‘diabolos’ which is typically translated into the figurative term “Satan!” in a personification by the Art Degree people writing the King James Bible, is simply a noun that perhaps could be translated more accurately as “interlocutor”…
“ In linguistics, discourse analysis, and related fields, an interlocutor is a person involved in a conversation or dialogue.”
Jesus famously tells Peter at one point when Peter is trying to argue with him about something , “go away behind me (get out of my face) Satan”…
It’s “get out of my face interlocutor”… it’s simply a noun designating someone attempting to dialog or argue…
No pointy tail and horns in his head or pitchforks..,,
The whole “New Testament” is just Jesus first trying to get corrupt Israel off Socrates and Plato and then when that didn’t work he sends Paul to try the same thing with fellow tektons in Greece and Rome..,,
That’s all it is nothing spooky.., nobody’s going to “hell!”…
Just Jesus and then Paul advocating against the dialogic method..,,
“ In the Old Testament being “the accuser” is, essentially, a job. The phrase is only used nine times, and in five of those uses, ha-satan is used to describe not an immortal demon but a human being who happens to be a military, political or legal enemy of Israel. ”
The whole thing is a reification of a figurative personification by Art Degree morons of a simple personal noun designating people like themselves.,,
Well Matt's interpretation certainly is more likely then angels and demons and horned beasts. But what does it say about humanity when we all believe the "art degree" version? Science degree people included.
Things changed in 1860 when the Science Degree was first awarded…
All the people bitching about their student loans right now are all Art Degree people… idiot dumb AOC etc..,
They are trying to get their student loan debts absolved and if they are successful the whole Art Degree moron factory will reload financially for another round of making another generation stupid..,
If they don’t get this debt forgiveness passed then it will be a big loss for those moron forces,,,
In prophetic scripture I think this period we are in is described figuratively as “Michael does battle with the serpent”…
Here:
Revelation 12:7–10 “Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. 8 But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. 9 The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray.”
If they don’t get their student loans absolved then Michael probably landed a big right cross to the side of the head staggering “Satan!”… (figuratively speaking)…
Public Land Grant institutions traditionally have kept tuition low and affordable…
Back in 80s I paid $1180 per semester at our Land Grant…
They still are to a degree.. Pell grants more or less pay for tuition if student maintains a B average…
In AOC case she went to Boston University (Liberal Art School)
“ Boston University (BU) is a private research university in Boston, Massachusetts. The university is nonsectarian,[11] but has a historical affiliation with the United Methodist Church.[4][5][6] It was founded in 1839 by Methodists ”
Most of the premier liberal Art schools started off as Bible schools.., using Socratic/Platonist methodology… ie dialogic…
This was the only methodology taught till Land Grant institutions were established based on Scientific methodology..
Btw, my mother worked as a waitress and bartender throughout her adult life. She didn't need to go to university and rack up student debt, or pretend she was working class.
I see there's a tweet from Bernie Sanders - who voted for 40 billion for moar war.
ReplyDeleteNo problem. Just give more money to Ukraine.

Read Bernie's tweet.
ReplyDeleteEither tax the rich to send to Ukraine, or STFU about the need to tax the rich.

:)
I thought China was with Russia?
ReplyDeleteThey've learned absolutely nothing from the financial crash and the pandemic.
ReplyDeleteSimply can't free themselves from their ideological constraints.
Despise government spending and try everything in their power to shrink the state.
A job guarentee is a million miles away from their thoughts.
Putin to Xi: "Hey, what's the deal with lending money to the Amerikanskis? Whose side are you on?"
ReplyDeleteI thought the " borrowing from China" myth was killed off stone dead ?
ReplyDeleteObviously not in Kentucky.
ReplyDeleteWhere's Sarah Palin when we need her.
ReplyDeleteAlaska just loved the " borrowing from China" meme.
Just in breaking news....
ReplyDeleteSenator Rand Paul wants to attack China by borrowing US $'s from China.
It's a tough pill to swallow the Senator told Sean Hannity on fox news but so is swallowing a giraffe.
Sell Alaska to China. Palin included.

ReplyDeleteTextbook Art Degree 101…
News just in .... Breaking news....
ReplyDeleteSteve Bannon changes the name of his podcast to the " art" room.
Steve explained the reason of the Name change on Tucker Carlson tonight as
" I just can't see the left's point of view"
New Russian convoy "eleven kilometers" long going to Donbass.
ReplyDeletehttps://t.me/s/intelslava
They are calling the convoy.
Finishthejobovitch.
Bannon should call it the Romper Room. Or we should.
ReplyDeleteBannon is Jesuit trained like Tom…
ReplyDeleteCatholic Church 100% Platonist Art Degree people…
Trained in dialog/interlocution to eventually form a synthesis…
Not applicable for material endeavors… you’ll blow yourself up…

And they’ll never admit it…

ie another win for Michaels side…
iow this: “ “Michael and his angels fought against the dragon,” (figuratively)
ReplyDeletethis perhaps has been going on since about 1860 in real terms….
The prophecy would suggest eventually the Art Degree just goes away (defunded?) and the Science Degree takes over for quite some time,,,
Will lead to “heaven on earth” imo… while it lasts..,
Old economy Steve didn't need an art degree, or any degree whatsoever, to pay off his student loans.

Boston U $58k per year tuition.. just looked it up..
ReplyDeleteWe just put one thru our Land Grant iirc was about $12k annual…
Friend sent one to South Carolina was under $10k annual…
You can see why AOC is always going all around pissed off about everything… she really got ripped off …
ReplyDeleteNow they want to absolve this moron generations debt and reload financially to rip off another generation they put thru their moron assembly line..
We’ll see… if they get it it would be a big victory for them…
AOC driving a Tesla, according to reports.
ReplyDeleteNice congressional salary has its upside.
I look at her as a victim…
ReplyDeleteI look upon her as a grifter...
ReplyDeleteWell you have to look at what drove her into this…
ReplyDeleteHow to spot a scientist. (cartoon)
ReplyDeleteWell you have to look at what drove her into this…
ReplyDeleteWhat drove her into this?
Her father (iirc licensed architect) didn’t survive and she was left without his counsel…
ReplyDeleteNot ideal…,
She has misrepresented her family's financial status, which is upper middle class.
ReplyDeleteAnd don't get me started on her bartender career.
Btw, my mother worked as a waitress and bartender throughout her adult life. She didn't need to go to university and rack up student debt, or pretend she was working class.
ReplyDeleteShe is actually pretty well trained for the current position she is in… US Representative…
ReplyDeleteShe has BA in political economy and in that job you have to dialog with the other representatives..,
“We’re out of money,”
“No, we’re not out of money!”
Etc…
She doesn't do anything but virtue signal to her followers.
ReplyDeleteAll dialog, no action.
Except of course, when it comes to funding a proxy war.
