JD Vance seems to think there is no take backsies on his nomination. I heard him say it. If it happens, and it would be delicious if it did, Trump would no doubt make him quit. Wonder what excuse they would use. Representative Elise Stephanik might be his next choice---god knows she is hateful enough! She too is a fantastic boot-licker.

Stephanik believes in a 15 week abortion ban with exceptions, but likes the idea of throwing doctors in prison. I think that puts her closer in line with Trump's position.

If he ditches JD, he is going to want an attack dog. He knows damn well he can win the border battle but lose the war on the abortion issue.

Just want to mention gas and oil leases don't get used half the time. There is an expiration if they don't drill in a specified time. Currently there is also a shortage of equipment, supplies, and labor. Let's hope it stays that way while we "go electric" for cars and homes.

Alis, I BELIEEEEEVE, that the dems can win the immigration issue by mentioning overpopulation and global warming! The old left, like me, have always opposed overpopoulation and thus immigration, especially ones who reproduce like catholics do. Kamala needs to say, the 1960's liberals told the right this would happen. Also she needs to mention Trump torpedoed the border protection act by telling his cultish congressional party to keep the border open. I know I could win that debate with him, also throw in Reagan legalized about 5 million illegals to bust the unions and bought the dem party. We can't give the bastards an inch!

Watch the election in Venezuela.

If Maduro loses, could have immigration INTO Venezuela.

I wonder if a new government will give Venezuelan oil back to Exxon Mobil,and that will stop the sanctions and attempts by the CIA to pull a coup.

The Cult of Rome's position on gay marriage, abortion, contraception has one origin and purpose. They sought to rule the world via fecundity. Breed like Rabbits.

There was a time when Cardinals, Bishops and Priests married and had families, but it was also during this time that the clergy were filthy rich, accumulating money via the power they had, but they had heirs and left their estates to their heirs, so the Pope Issued a Bull forbidding priests to marry, that way the estate devolved to the church, not the heirs.

The cover up, revisionism of JD Vance has started.

Monday I went to wikipedia.org and checked out J D Vance, Turns out he had lived under three names James David Vance''' (born '''James Donald Bowman'named James Donald Bowman at birth. Afterward, he was adopted by his mother's third husband and had his name changed to James David Hamel. Upon his marriage in 2014, he adopted his maternal grandparents' surname of Vance.. Hia adopted name is scrubbed from his wikipedia profile, just like Nixon and Reagans treason was reverted when I tried to post them.

The History and Talk pages of a wikipedia page are more interesting than the article.

Also he was not a Hillbilly, but raised in the suburbs of Cinncinati... a real fraud

Unfortunately, until the feds invest on massive power grid upgrades, we won’t all be able to drive electric cars.

The race is on to improve the batteries and the storage of all the electricity that is lost in transmission. In fact, the cars are one way TO store what is generated at night.

We certainly can't get there tomorrow, but we can get there. Climate crisis situations are going to "drive" where we go with this. The polluted summer air has been so bad in Houston, TWICE they have asked people to stop driving their cars. And on another point, we know what a mess their separate grid is in Texas.

Necessity really is the mother of invention. This is a national security issue---there's where the money is for the upgrades. Back to the batteries, those inventions involved there are going to be worth a fortune. You are right Jan, it is all about the money.

There is a technology even better than electric for vehicles. It is Browns Gas, water is broken down by electricity into hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen is used to power the vehicle, and the exhaust is water.

Your hydrogen questions answered

Companies working to achieve their decarbonization goals are increasingly interested in hydrogen engines. Over the past year, leading companies like Tata Motors, Buhler Industries and Werner Enterprises have expressed interest in Cummins 15-liter hydrogen engine. More leading companies can take advantage of hydrogen-powered solutions to decarbonize as these technologies become more cost-friendly and widely available. https://www.cummins.com/news/2023/06/09/can-engine-run-hydrogen#:~:text=Yes.,soot%20or%20volatile%20organic%20compounds.

It is not discussed for the same reason that Standard Oil and Firestone bought up the street cars in LA and then sold them off as Diners.

I don't think Trump gave any thought to JD Vance other than he's attractive and will look attractive on the ticket. Optics are the most important to Trump. And for that reason, Stefanik is out -- Not good looking enough. Too bad Kristy Noem shot her dog!
