Other than that cutting down the rainforest which is just stupid what would other issues the Dems constantly squawk about how would they change the issue of global warming such as cars planes instituting electric cars etc etc how much would they change the effects of global warming?

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Can you imagine our country being led by someone who pretended to be an American Indian?

Why not? We had our country being led by someone pretending to be an American citizen.

[rodguy911]

Sorry that argument doesn’t fly everybody wants to fall back on that but it’s just so much ignorant BS does not fly at all

[rodguy911]

Good point problem is if you get a dem there are going to be pretending pretending to do something.
look at our last one.
he pretended to be straight when he was gay he pretended to have a female wife when she was a male on and on and on never ended with Obama. guy

I agree Warren and Booker don’t have a chance. Harris may get the nomination, but she can’t beat Trump.

I think most democrats really want a woman candidate. I thought Klobucher might be a dark horse, but if what we’re hearing now that no one likes or wants to work with her, she’s not electable.

I keep hearing that most dems want a candidate who can beat Trump. I’m guessing that most will conclude that Harris can’t do it. I wouldn’t rule out Biden, but Trump would whup him.

I wouldn’t rule out Bloomberg. He has bought a lot of good will by contributing tons of money to candidates around the country. And, it would be one New Yorker vs. another.

I don’t see another woman, but there might be one lurking in the background. Wouldn’t be at all surprised if Hillary tries to weasel her way in. I think she will wait for a while until she sees some of the candidates self-destruct.

I think it boils down to how much democrats want to field a female candidate. I’m sure that’s a high percentage of dem voters. Will they be practical and pick their best candidate? If they want both a woman and the best candidate they need to keep looking for one.

[rodguy911]

I do too but the dams are going to have a a candidate they’re going to have a candidate for VP and POTUS even though I think they’ll lose

If you look at the chart in post 88, you'll see the ocean warming then the CO2 rise. There's about 10 ppm rise (at most) for each degree of warming. If you look at blowups of that chart on other sites, it shows an average lag of 800 years from the warming to the CO2 rise.

There was no massive warming (12C or more) 500-1000 years ago that would account for the current steady CO2 release. As for the equator oceans that the climatologist talked about, those don't do much releasing. The CO2 comes from the deeper ocean which takes centuries to warm.

Put another way, the average temperature of the oceans has risen from about 3C to about 3.2C in the past two centuries, a mostly natural rise. The total ocean volume matters to CO2 production, not small volumes of surface oceans.

[rodguy911]

Maria no arguing with a socialist Dem who doesn’t want to admit that he’s a socialist.
these guys can spin anything its amazing

[rodguy911]

Palmer’s speculation however is pretty well-informed the guy knows his stuff no question.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

I’d still like to know how the stones of the Egyptian Pyramids were cut and fitted with such a microscopic precision which is not yet feasible even today.

[palmer]

What the Dems are talking about doing would have no effect on CO2 or warming. The warming we have had (combo natural and manmade) is our protection against a big volcanic eruption or exogenous solar event. We don’t know what is in store for us but it is all cold-producing.

[be-baw]

“He said all executive positions are, in a sense, acting.”

True. But having “acting” in his job title means he won’t be taken as seriously as he would if he were just Chief of Staff.

[rodguy911]

There are a thousand other questions that can’t be answered but those who don’t seek the answers are destined to keep believing what they believe

[JLAGRAYFOX]

The the one & only Sunday morning TV news show worth watching on Sunday mornings is, “The Sunday Morning Futures” hosted by the outstanding, Maria Bartiromo on the Fox News Network, cable channel at 10:00 AM.

All, and I mean all, of the rest of these Sunday morning shows are pure “Hogwash” and waste of your time and energy.

[kabar]

Then she employed a little "bait and switch" where she stated that people thought that "MediCare was socialism, but it's not." Maybe not bitch, but MediCaid IS, and the RAT-socialists want to expand it and have MediCaid for all.

Medicare has been running in the red since 2008, i.e., the revenue collected is less than the benefits paid out. The shortfall is made up by cashing in the non-market, interest bearing T-bills in the Medical Trust Fund.

40% of all Medicare expenditures come from the General Fund. The premiums collected for Medicare Part B only cover, by law, 25% of the costs. The other 75% comes from the General Fund. As 10,000 Baby Boomers retire every day thru 2030, the costs of Medicare will continue to increase and consume more and more of the Federal budget.

People need to read the 2018 Trustee's Report

The Trustees project that the HI Trust Fund will be depleted in 2026, three years earlier than projected in last year’s report. At that time dedicated revenues will be sufficient to pay 91 percent of HI costs. The Trustees project that the share of HI cost that can be financed with HI dedicated revenues will decline slowly to 78 percent in 2039, and will then rise gradually to 85 percent in 2092. The HI fund again fails the test of short-range financial adequacy, as its trust fund ratio is already below 100 percent of annual costs, and is expected to decline continuously until reserve depletion in 2026.

For SMI, the Trustees project that both Part B and Part D will remain adequately financed into the indefinite future because current law provides financing from general revenues and beneficiary premiums each year to meet the next year’s expected costs. However, the aging population and rising health care costs cause SMI projected costs to grow steadily from 2.1 percent of GDP in 2017 to approximately 3.6 percent of GDP in 2037, and to then increase more slowly to 3.9 percent of GDP by 2092. General revenues will finance roughly three-quarters of SMI costs, and premiums paid by beneficiaries almost all of the remaining quarter. SMI also receives a small amount of financing from special payments by States, and from fees on manufacturers and importers of brand-name prescription drugs.

The Trustees project that total Medicare costs (including both HI and SMI expenditures) will grow from approximately 3.7 percent of GDP in 2017 to 5.8 percent of GDP by 2038, and then increase gradually thereafter to about 6.2 percent of GDP by 2092.

Medicare is not self-sustaining and is heavily subsidized by the General Fund.

This graph shows that the average man and woman (average defined in the study as average income over their working lives and living to the average life expectancy) who start receiving benefits in 2010 get over 3 times more in benefits than they pay in to the system! Of importance, the study accounts for inflation by calculating all past taxes and future payments in 2010 dollars to provide an accurate comparison.

If the notion that Medicare recipients are simply "getting back what they paid in" is false then where is the money coming from? Simply, the excess received is being borrowed from younger generations and the cost is more than we can bear.

We are constantly reminded of the government's inability to manage a budget under the arbitrary debt ceiling (raised 80 times since 1940) and that the national "on budget" debt is over $14T. The debt conversation all too often omits the "off budget" debt that includes underfunded liabilities to Social Security and Medicare which is about $110T according to a Forbes article; totaling more than $900K per working American.

[rodguy911]

Thanks very much much appreciated

[ROCKLOBSTER]

All, and I mean all, of the rest of these Sunday morning shows are pure “Hogwash” and waste of your time and energy.

OK then.

We'll all just go kill ourselves.

Thanks so much you for your help.

[hillarynot]

The state of Illinois is lurching toward a$15.00 per hour minimum wage. (Final implementation in 2025.

I am the treasurer of a fraternal not for profit organization here in Ill. We barely get by every year. Our members constantly complain about our drink and food prices, and they say our dues are too high.

This idiotic move by our new communist governor and legislature should end the complaints once and for all. It will also result in loss of jobs for several people who because of disabilities etc are mostly unemployable in the public sector.

Thank you very much.

[ReaganGeneration2]

Maria’s show: Remember when she has Solomon or Nunes on: They know the whole thing.

Solomon:
* FISA applications on Carter Page (and whoever else) left out exculpatory evidence
* Look for another Horowitz report in Apr-Jun timeframe [translation: September, if ever]
* Over a dozen known instances of Democrat collusion/contacts with Russians to influence election
* Skokovo (sp?) tech project led to national security problems with tech sharing; HRC and CF donors involved

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Understood.

My point was MediCaid....Total Medical Welfare.
