Pa. coal country in national spotlight as new mine gets red carpet treatment
Penn Live ^ | June 8, 2017 | John Luciew

SOMERSET, Pa. - Coal has never been a dirty word around these parts. But even veteran miners can't remember holding a ribbon-cutting and a lavish grand opening for what amounts to a hole in the ground.

That changes today.

In a highly unusual move, Corsa Coal of Canonsburg, Pa., will fete its new Acosta Deep Mine, located 11 miles north of Somerset, with so much pomp and circumstance that even President Donald Trump was invited.

"It's in the spotlight all right," says Corsa Senior Vice President Joseph Gallo, who's overseeing the mine's opening.

"I don't quite understand it, but it is," he adds. "This is the ninth or tenth mine I've put in, and I've never seen anything like it."

Obama was profoundly clearing out it:

“you can mine coal but we will put you out of business..”

and here we see Trump striking the starkest possible contrast.

I personally would recommend having the Rockettes and a bunch of cheerleaders and cute little kids and fuzzy animals also.

the opening should be the very highest profile possible.

The Trump/Obama contrast should have all the subtlety and be as forgettable as having a hand grenade thrown at your face.

And the democrats will never see it coming.

#2: "This is Donald Trump winning Pennsylvania in 2020; this is about him becoming president again."

From your mouth to God's ears. The reality is that in a fair honest election, this would be so. There are two problems:

  1. The communists will redouble their efforts at voter fraud in Philadelphia and other dark enclaves.
  2. That state's GOPe will not lift a finger to stop it.

The leftists were caught off guard by the presidential election. They were totally convinced and deluded as to the level of President Trump's support. That is why the sting of losing is no unbearable for them—they could have done more. Their efforts at fraud were not as intense as usual.

The time to start scrutinizing the voter rolls is now, not two days before the election. Dead, felons, and otherwise ineligible need to be purged now.

Remember that the judiciary is complicit in voter fraud, even giving it taciturn approval. There needs to be time for investigations, lawsuits, and appeals.

There needs to be honest poll watchers. Don't expect that from the GOPe. They will pay lip service but turn their head the other way. The only feet on the ground provided by them will be ornamental, merely for show. Remember this is the state that kept returning Arlen "magic bullet, Scottish law" Sphincter to office, year after year.

But what about women and minorities? Aren’t they hurt worst by carbon?

Isn’t it great that the hoaxsters are losing power?

Agreed. In 2020 Trump will win New Hampshire, Minnesota, Colorado, and Virginia...plus the 37 states he won in 2016.

It is also about sticking it to the dems in as public a way as possible.

That’s kind of a deceptive headline.
The coal mining industry has added only 500 jobs since November, increasing from 50,100 to 50,600.

It’s not only about the mines and miners being put back to work but also the related business enterprises like railroads who haul the coal, mining equipment manufacturers and mining services. A good move...MAGA
