    Don't look over there or you'll call me bad names? Interesting ... I never argued that limiting LNG exports would "fix the climate". My point was that I believe it to be prudent to look at the...

    But we have had political activists create a whole new legal system to go after their adversaries. It's called The Constitution of the United States. ETA: the very same Constitution that...

    To do so would likely have bought him a restraining order which, if violated, could then land him in jail. Judge Kaplan continues to have jurisdiction over this case for a certain period of time...

    Well, why we wait for responses to your questions, I feel like I want to explain a bit about why I'm voting for Biden. 1. He's not trump. 2. Biden is a better manager than trump. Every...

    Rumor has it that the Florida legislature proposed sending $5 million to trump specifically for legal fees. I understand that DeSantis blocked it pretty much as soon as he finished kissing trump's...
