The government should give tax credits to alternative energy. Except, they shouldnt give them just for certain technologies like electric cars. Conservatives are right about that, they shoukdnt be picking winners and losers. If the government picked wrong they be subsidizing an inferior technology.

AOC has demonstrated one fact that is prevalent in the Democrat Party: it does not have a single political platform plank that does not have its opposing plank. How can any political platform succeed when every point is argued by another conflicting point? That's what cancel culture means, defined b

We have plenty of protesting of Jim Crow law; some of it violent, and some just waving flags with that anthem written on it: "No Jim Crow laws." Something like that other anthem, "No Kings."

As of now, all the analysts are advising that scalating the war in Iran would be the biggest mistake for America. It's evident that there is no benefit for the US to engage in this war, except for Israel that wants to expand their territory. I understand that the jews have a strong influence on Amer

The wealthy evade taxes by keeping their income very low and keeping money and source of revenue in wealth that isnt taxed. The far left like Bernie wants a five percent wealth tax to get around the issue. Local states like California want to do the same. The issues, are that 5 percent is a major bl

Some of you have previously, bitterly complained that Trump was a draft dodger with a 1-Y classification during the 60s [Vietnam] for bone spurs, but did any of you know and mention that Biden had the same 1-Y classification for asthma-dodge? Both also had legitimate education deferments. In additio

I was wondering, why don't any US states have Election Day off as a holiday? I know some States let government workers off that day, knowing for the most part where that demographic is going to vote regarding the status quo.But why not all the non-government workers as well?

Obama had inspectors who'd be there for 15 years with low enrichment for nuclear power plants. Trump wants 20 years with no power plants and inspectors.

Trump made a good point about pope leo. Its one things for a figure head like the pope to in a general sense be against war. But theres a time for war and a time for passivity. As trump said, is it really fitting for the vicar of christ to be in support of allowing a country like iran to eventually

The USFG has been undergoing a long-term shift away from three coequal branches to an "imperial" presidency. Notably the White House is a lot smaller than the Capitol building (I should know; I've personally visited both), suggesting an original vision of a very much restrained presidency, but the f

Jeffries, a painfully scrawny man, and NY 8th's Congressman [God help them] said today that Major Pete Hegseth, SoW [Sec'ry of War] did not earned his position in Trump's Cabinet.

I found this new concept of combining stoicism and machiavellism.Stoicism is a lot about self control and detachment.Machiavellism is about getting results.But in many cases, self control and detachment bring results, hence the stoic Prince (combination of Machiavellism and stoicism).The problem for

Its funny to think about. No matter what trump does, his core base will say hes exactly right. He could have done the exact opposite thing to what they think hes exactly right about, and either way, they'll think he's exactly right. I dont think his core base has enough awareness to know they do tha

Democrats have complained for many years that Trump is a threat to American democracy, swelling to a mantra that assured the failure of their attempt to replace him in 2024 with a candidate whose 2020 campaignquit before the 2020 primary season, let alone the year, itself, ever began.
