I lament that I have had to restrict my participation on the board the past few weeks. I find myself embroiled in demands on my time such that, should I choose to ignore them, I would greatly regret the consequences. Let me just say that my in-box is on ‘high level’ with sirens screeching and lights flashing. This should all be resolved by next week (hoping).
Since I had some commute time this AM, I reviewed my post to ‘T’ from yesterday. I felt the need to clarify those remarks with a bit more detail. And how this helps the GSPE effort to drill the Tau.
As I stated, the House of Representatives initiates the legislation for the country. If Republicans win the House at the mid-terms, then they will control the legislative agenda to be considered by the House. This is where laws supporting drilling come in.
Further they could sponsor and pass legislation that would address many of the concerns from non-socialist citizens. This is a very big deal if we wish to preserve the country, our lifestyle, and our freedoms for our children and our old-age. I can not stress the importance of this.
Also, as I alluded to regarding the controlling of spending, much of the the funding for the more onerous programs could be stifled by simply denying the dollars to continue. This is another way to get rid of some groups and programs blocking the leasing, permits, or drilling in the GOM (Federal Lands).
It would be so wonderful to have a veto-proof Republican majority in Congress, because without that we will need to rely on Democrats to support and vote for the changes needed. Not a reliable plan.
But if the R’s had the votes to override a veto, then the power in the country would be returned to the elected representatives of the people, and not subject to the whims of a socialist dictator-in-chief and his cronies.
This is perhaps the most important consideration of all. Because if those in power continue on the current path of destabilizing the laws of the country and ignoring the will of the people, there will continue to be a decline in and deterioration of the public trust. Then an undesirable outcome is likely to follow. Some people are just more difficult to intimidate.
If we can have a fair election, it is better to address it at the ballot box, so that many of our cities do not end up looking like Beirut. Cooler heads must prevail. So yes, the election outcome matters to us all.
And they do not necessarily see it, but it matters even to the socialists. Remember the old lyrics “Whatcha gonna do, when they come for you”…. Not talking about the police. It is something to think about.
But politically the socialist liberals know that this is their last shot at permanent control for at least a generation. They will do, and are doing, everything they can regardless of laws or consequences. I do not really expect them to back down. It might get really nasty if they do not. I have no real sense of their level of desperation, but I am hoping that they can read the signs, and will only try a bluff or two. I am not convinced they totally understand.
The USA is not immune to the lessons of human history. We have already written much of it, but this next chapter is very soon upon us. We should not take it for granted or just hope for the best.
The stakes are too high.
Remember the liberal legacy. Fake news. Fake election. Next is fake renewable energy. And then fake money. And finally fake food, I hear.
