If you or anyone wants on my ping list, I promise that the pings are normally rare and rarely bore you.
Concerned about the gas war’s affect on domestic oil production [even though I’m an ignorant layman], thackney was nice enough to answer some questions:

Smokin’ Joe also offered detailed and fascinating information about modern oil production in the US:

Gas War’s Affect on US Oil Production
[After ‘talking’ with a couple FReinds who know oil — link to discussion above ...]
This gas war is slowing down US oil production. However, our real danger is federal regulation. When oil prices go back up, the only thing preventing a rapid future increase in US oil is Washington DC.
Modern oil drilling is more dynamic than in the old days. Most equipment is mobile and can be relocated rather cheaply.
However, I suspect that federal regulations would stall out a re-booting of future oil production.

Seems to me the most effective criticism of Cruz is H1B. Does that about sum it up?

Some freepers may get in a tizzy over that but Indian IT guys aren’t raping and killing anyone so I doubt it will have much effect on the election.
“However, I suspect that federal regulations would stall out a re-booting of future oil production.”
I’m trying to think of even one thing they don’t adversely affect. FAILED
I’m for skilled labor myself, and Cruz is working to have it properly enforced, not bastardized Zero-style.

Although Comey [FBI] said the [refugee vetting] process has “improved dramatically,” Syrian refugees will be even harder to check because, unlike in Iraq, U.S. soldiers have not been on the ground collecting information on the local population. “If we don’t know much about somebody, there won’t be anything in our data,” he said. “I can’t sit here and offer anybody an absolute assurance that there’s no risk associated with this.”

Phyllis Schlafly: France Closes Its Borders; Why Can’t We?
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3361427/posts
The Friday night massacre of over 100 people at a soccer game, a rock concert, and five restaurants in Paris was apparently committed by 8 men working on behalf of ISIS, also called ISIL or the Islamic State. The day before the attacks, President Obama was on television reassuring George Stephanopoulos that “ISIL continues to shrink in its scope of operations” and that “we have contained them.”
Next week, some 20,000 people (including President Obama, John Kerry and 3,000 journalists) are expected in Paris for the UN convention on climate change, which Obama in May called “an urgent and growing threat to our national security, contributing to increased ... refugee flows.” [snip]
Shortly after the coordinated attacks, France’s socialist president announced his decision to close the borders of France. [snip]
Some say stricter border controls can’t prevent “homegrown” terrorists such as the Paris perpetrators who were native-born French citizens. But in virtually every case, “homegrown” terrorists are sons of Muslim immigrants who are drawn to their ancestral faith and homeland instead of assimilating to Western values. [snip, examples given]
While the Obama administration pledged to admit 10,000 Syrian refugees in the coming year, Hillary Clinton said in the Democratic debate that “we should increase numbers of refugees; I said we should go to 65,000.” Not to be outdone, Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) has called for 100,000 Syrians to be brought here. [snip]
FBI Director James Comey and National Counterterrorism Center Director Nicholas Rasmussen both testified in October that it is simply not possible to screen [refugees] adequately. [snip]
Although more than 90 percent of recent Middle Eastern refugees are on welfare, Babin noted that “the five wealthiest countries on the Arabian peninsula Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, and Bahrain have not taken in a single refugee that we know of.” [snip]
It is amazing how almost every unconstitutional change in goverment from Teddy Roosevelt onward has harmed our nation’s prosperity.
Some changes were worth it — such as breaking vote-busting measures in the South, dust bowl prevention, saving a few beloved species, etc. But most unconstitutioanl changes? Disastrous.
And who will be blamed?
We will be.
While the Left insists that we simply didn't appease enough!
Thanks for the ping.
“If the USA gets hit hard again? The blood will be on liberal/establishment hands.”
We will get hit, because ISIS is buying forged Syrian documents, and using them to enter Europe and the United States.They are also coming in from Mexico.
“It is amazing how almost every unconstitutional change in goverment from Teddy Roosevelt onward has harmed our nation’s prosperity.”
The true miracle is how many years of prosperity we have had since then. We may not be so lucky this time though. There is currently a well orchestrated effort to destroy the middle class, and it emanates from both political parties.
Thought you might find this interesting.
