Re: Middle East situation

What was markedly different before 2015 was that the U.S. wasn't producing more than it consumed. From a strictly economic perspective, so long as the price wasn't fixed, an export ban didn't really matter because there was never enough local supply anyway. Once the U.S. started producing more than...

Re: Middle East situation

We had an export ban on oil for years which only ended within the past decade or so.

Re: Middle East situation

Iran threatens the US far less than it threatens Israel. If anyone should or would take aggressive action against Iran it most likely would be Netanyahu.

Re: Can the Republican Party Be Saved?

I've written this here before on numerous occasions, but immigration, both legal and illegal, is a boon to the economy. Always has been, always will be. It's not rocket science. A declining population means a declining economy - fewer consumers, fewer workers. A growing population contributes to a ...

Re: Can the Democrat Party be saved?

I heard an expert on the news this morning suggesting that if these naive kids are having any effect on the conflict, it's to prolong it. Israeli media and Al Jazeera are giving these protests wall to wall coverage. Hamas is praising them, and Israelis are feeling very marginalized by them. What it...

Re: Superstar chair

The constant arguments about an interconnect are pretty hysterical in this context. Pico is open at best from end of December to the first weekend in April and we have seen that season as short at 1/6-3/15 in recent memory. In addition the interconnect itself is only viable on natural snow for mayb...

Expand upon what you mean Bubba. Jews live in perfect harmony with anyone no matter what their backgrounds and beliefs are? I think back to my first serious girlfriend. She was Jewish. It was a year being made felt uncomfortable because the family didn't tolerate her dating a goy. They wouldn't eve...

Re: Can the Republican Party Be Saved?

While there are many positive messages about empathy, kindness and working together with your fellow man in all religions, my problem with almost all of them is that they utilize either the reward of heaven or the threat of hell to motivate people to comply. You should not need those motivations to...

Re: Can the Republican Party Be Saved?

Islam needs a "Reformation" just as the Christianity went through several hundred years ago. With Islam being about 500 years younger than Christianity, however, I just hope we don't have to wait another couple of hundred years for an Islamic reformation to take place.
