$53 billion......

I understand approx $100 trillion missing......most of it unaccounted for military spending. Yep, that's a T.

Aren't there questions about where chunks of the Covid packages have gone, or haven't gone?

---

I am confident the waste, at the Federal level, is so out of control, we fully wouldn't understand it; however, 100T?

That one I'm struggling with…. That would be like 25-30 years worth of this years budget just vanishing. Not sure I can see that one…

Chem, if the right Republicans win in November, we are going to see investigation like we've never seen before. In fact, impeachment is going to happen to several members of the administration.

We can disagree on whether that strategy is good or not; however, it really needs to happen in a factual based way. Now, if that prohibits passing bills to right the economy, then it will backfire big time.

Will they be able to walk and chew gum?

I get this sentiment and agree. But, I also feel that the swamp does need a little cleansing. It's full of this type of activity. Pelosi's husband has made millions while she's been in office. DC has become a path to money and power, not a way to serve our country or your state and local district.

Yeah, that would probably be nice for all of us... but I'm sure that it's going to be difficult not going for the "pound of flesh" after the last 5 1/2 years...

And most of it's going to depend on how our "free and impartial press" decides to play it.

That's a big part of it was well. The press will never let it be for the republican side. Every pound of flesh will be called "a threat to democracy" "tyranny from the White House" and the classic "Nationalist politics." The media will never allow for unity and peace in this country. It doesn't sell for them!

I agree the media is a major problem for our country; however, if Republicans achieve a super majority in 2024, they need to cram as much correction into our laws as they possibly can during the first two years. If they still feel like extracting revenge after accomplishing significant corrective action, that is the time to do it. Choosing to do that though is a waste of our nation's resources. Succumbing to incessant baiting and biting from the press is also a waste of time. Republicans need to take the high road when they get the majority and focus on correcting this mess 24/7.

National Review had a great article a couple of days ago addressing suggested top priorities for a Republican super majority. If you have a subscription, it is well worth the read.

If the MARXIST PARTY had one more vote in the U.S. Senate this country would be a shell of what it was. Remember that.

They have said what their plans are when they achieve that vote. So you saying the GOP should take the "high road" and forgive and forget is meaningless.

I wish this country could come together but with sham BS trials every single damn time the lefties have the House have become the norm.

Karma. Undefeated. Unscored upon. Untied. Never lost.

Deal with it lefties.

The problem is that we've seen the effects of their selective coverage on the average American not willing to look further that their coverage.

And the hits keep coming....

You lefties made a point of criticizing every damn misstep the Trump Administration made, every damn misstep any member of the GOP currently makes.... Looking forward to you cleaning this one up.

Not every misstep, just the one the led to a riot

Got to show the lefties a shiny object....

Gas prices, crime, border, inflation, baby formula shortages....
Hispanics leaving the DNC, low voter turnout for dims, Sleepy Joe refusing to talk to the press, Horizontal "Cackling Hyena" Harris non-existent, Admin. staff constantly contradicting one another....

Hell, why wouldn't they try and divert attention away from what is really going on.

As far as Pinocchio goes... where was his outrage when the riots were happening in 2020? Where are the investigations into the politicians that marched, bailed out criminals and never condemned the riots?

We know where it was. The same damn place it will be when it happens again to help his MARXIST PARTY.

Well, I hope you agree taht is a horrible strategy. You always talk about wanting rid of the way these guys have governed…but if the "right" guys go immediately after the other party rather than passing legislation for the American people, why did we elect them?

I asked the Q about the Sec Of Energy not because I want legislators to go after her….if anyone were going to, it should be an independent body

It's double speak so that people hear what they want to hear. Didn't Biden in his recent speech tell us how great everyone was doing? Everyone has more savings and less debt. Then later on says that he understands the pressure and strain that all Americans are feeling because of inflation. Huh...?

yep, now he can say the oil comps had every opportunity, but refused to play along -- and some will believe it and play back his "strong words" during campaign

***BTW -- at same time, when oil companies post record-shattering profits this year.....we should probably not all be aligned with them either. They are not exactly looking out for any of us either.

And they aren't trying to "indoctrinate" the kids.....

Be proud lefties... be proud....

Republicans held the House, Senate, and Whitehouse for the first two years of Trumps presidency. Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnel could only get a few things done during that time. If the National Review thinks the current leaders of the party will get things done with a super majority, they're kidding themselves…

The GOP in power will yield nothing that resembles a "reset" of America.

One party wants to redefine this country. One.

Until the collaborators are identified by the public nothing of real significance will change. The enemy is behind our lines....significantly ....in both parties

Biden's position on oil refining is that new refineries should not be constructed, the ones that exist should be regulated with increasing stringency if not closed down, and even if they do stay in business, they shouldn't be allowed to make too much money but please do me a solid and refine more oil, or else.

As the Institute for Energy Research finds in a recent article, "New refineries are unlikely to be built in the United States due to daunting environmental standards and policies that the Biden administration has been implementing to reduce petroleum product consumption in the future."

ExxonMobil responded to his letter with some proposals: suspend the Jones Act to make it easier to transport petroleum products, lay off the biofuel standards, and "promote investment through clear and consistent policy." The American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers and the American Petroleum Institute wrote a letter describing how regulations from a variety of different agencies influenced industry decisions to close and convert refineries. There's plenty the government can do by getting out of the way and letting American refineries do their jobs.

---

As the article states, environmentalists block every attempt at building new refineries. The last new refinery was built in 1976! Biden's handlers are willing to let their ideology harm innumerable people for a short term hoped for political gain. I refuse to accept the planned destruction thesis as a cause. I think it is just politics run amok due to ideology choices trumping rational thought.

This is interesting to me because it here in SLC we have several refineries. There is also a huge ongoing debate regarding air quality in the valley. Now, part of the issue is that we live in a bowl which makes air quality a constant issue.

But, local PR wants everyone to drive less, carpool, Yada Yada. But, it's easy to see that the refineries are one of the main culprits of the issue. So why not take this opportunity to build new refineries with new technology that drastically cuts down on emissions from the existing refineries?

Wouldn't this appease both sides?

Building a new refinery costs billions of dollars and takes years. For that investment to yield a decent return, domestic demand for gas and for diesel will have to be strong for quite some time to come.

A major refinery was planned for a remote section of Arizona back in 2005, but even that one was blocked by environmentalists per my understanding. There must be an opportunity to recoup the $B from the investment too.
