It's probably due to most Democrats being far too intelligent to start supporting the defunct Republican party, while those who are part of the Trump cult find it impossible to realise they have been lied to and manipulated due to a severe lack of intelligence. Just my opinion, not based on any actual facts.
Phuket has some wonderful beaches and a lively nightlife.
If you want a genuine holiday experience then I recommend Chiang Mai, amazin scenery and waterfalls, There is an elephant sanctuary that needs to be seen to be believed and a fantastic rafting experience on the Mae Wang River.
Thailand is not the same today as it was 30 years ago, but you can still have a great time away from the sex and rip-off bars in Bangkok.
Trump will destroy everything that the US stood for and made America the world’s leading country.
The most sensible way forward is to find a younger leader with integrity who has the balls to ban all political lobbying, that way the US will regain the respect of the entire world.
Only by taking away political power from large institutions can the US move forward.
I’m not trying to “bring down Shawn Keystone hopes” I posted the truth regarding the Keystone extension, which shows the end pump price would be no different had the pipe been completed.
How you interpret these facts is up to you.
Trump’s action regarding covid 19 was disastrous with millions dying needlessl. As for his policy on Ukraine, all Trump cared about was finding some baseless facts to put down Biden.
Both actions failed miserably.
Sorry the article was to long for you to read, guess that is why you consistently get facts wrong and believe the lies and misinformation which typically are short sound bites/videos.
Very true, but the total amount of extra crude oil would be negligible in the actual end cost at the pump.
"Even if the Keystone XL pipeline had been completed, the amount of oil it was designed to transport would have been a drop in the bucket for U.S. demand, experts noted. The U.S. used nearly 20 million barrels of oil a day last year, while global consumption of oil was near 100 million barrels. The pipeline would have contributed less than 1% to the world supply of oil, according to AP reporting."
The Keystone XL pipeline cancellation caused the current high gas prices.
ASSESSMENT: False. The Keystone XL crude oil pipeline wasn’t yet operational when it was cancelled in 2021, and wasn’t expected to be running until 2023. Rather, experts say gas prices are high due to other factors such as the global spike in the cost of crude oil and increased demand after pandemic lockdowns ended.
THE FACTS: Social media users are pointing to President Joe Biden’s decision to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline in January 2021 as a major reason for high gas prices in the U.S. in recent weeks. Gas prices have reached record highs since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
A meme posted on Facebook last week, which now has over 20,000 shares, reads: “Facts: If they didn’t shut down our pipelines we wouldn’t be paying $7 for gas.”
“So the guy who closed the Keystone pipeline on Day one, wants us to believe it’s Russia’s fault for the gas crisis,” says another Facebook post.
This persistent narrative has been spreading on social media since the early days of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, along with false claims that all other U.S. oil pipelines have also been shut down. That is not the case. Experts tell The Associated Press that the Keystone XL pipeline cancellation isn’t affecting what’s happening in the oil market today. It was never operational when it was shut down, and was not slated to go into service until 2023, according to a press release from TC Energy, the company constructing the project.
“Problem with the Keystone: It’s like saying a highway that was built but never completed is somehow making your commute to work way longer. You never got to ride on that highway. It was never opened. It was never relied on,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy.com, referring to the Keystone XL pipeline.
The Keystone XL pipeline was intended to be an expansion of the existing Keystone pipeline, which runs about 2,687 miles from Alberta to Illinois and Texas, and is operating. The pipeline extension was designed to carry up to 830,000 barrels of oil a day from Canada and North Dakota to refineries along the Gulf Coast. Biden revoked the permit to continue construction in January 2021, shortly after he took office.
The U.S. is still receiving oil from Canada through other means, like railways and other operational oil pipelines running in the U.S in addition to the original Keystone pipeline, said Ramanan Krishnamoorti, a professor and the chief energy officer at the University of Houston.
Even if the Keystone XL pipeline had been completed, the amount of oil it was designed to transport would have been a drop in the bucket for U.S. demand, experts noted. The U.S. used nearly 20 million barrels of oil a day last year, while global consumption of oil was near 100 million barrels. The pipeline would have contributed less than 1% to the world supply of oil, according to AP reporting.
“The total volume of additional supply is negligible in a market that uses 100 million barrels of oil every day,” Jason Bordoff, founding director of the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia, said in an email statement to the AP.
Instead, the current surge in gas prices can be attributed to other factors. One of the biggest drivers of gas prices is the price of crude oil, which has been rising over the past year. Gas prices have been steadily increasing due to the high demand after the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown restrictions were removed.
“Post pandemic, we continue to grow demand because economic growth is just ballooning everywhere and supply has been constrained,” Krishnamoorti said.
Oil prices have continued to dramatically increase due to Russia’s invasion into Ukraine. Russia is a major oil supplier and with many buyers shunning Russian crude, there is less oil that people are willing to buy on the market.
The reason poorer countries have large families is because they believe more children equals more chance to get work hence more family income, This is often perpetuated by religion who see it as a way of increasing their congregation and thereby increasing their income.
I read that the defense council are trawling through pages of media accounts to see if any prospective juror has ever posted anything derogatory regarding Trump.
At least the Defense Council is earning their exorbitant salaries.
I guess our Scandinavian friend will say it’s fake news. (It’s not).
The Red Sea attacks by Houthi rebels, which are forcing tankers to avoid the Suez Canal and instead go round South Africa’s Cape of Good Hope, are clearly playing their part, but so have global refinery maintenance closures, the start of America’s driving season all add up to the increases.
Trump could have done nothing to stop the price of crude oil increase.
Your bias against China is shining through your post, why find them guilty rather than the actual gun manufacturers?
Anyone with a 3D printer can produce the gadget, hence the large amount being found. I found the printing details on a US 3D printing website, how many do you want?
Shares are now hovering just above $32 — below half of what they were worth a mere two weeks ago, in the immediate aftermath of the merger when they experienced a brief spike.
Soon Trump won't be able to pay his numerous lawyers, maybe the courts will provide him with one? Already his bill this year is 1million dollars.
This is hilarious, apparently Trumps lawyers fecked up with a subpoenaed witness for his upcoming criminal case.
Trump’s attorneys tried to subpoena Jeremy Rosenberg, who had worked in the Manhattan district attorney’s office, then complained to the court that he was “flippant and dismissive” when he said he had none of the documents they wanted.
But it turns out there was a reason he didn’t have the documents: They had subpoenaed the wrong Jeremy Rosenberg.
Trump’s attorneys sent $15 to Rosenberg to help him send the paperwork.
“I’m keeping the fifteen dollars,” Rosenberg wrote back to the attorneys.
