And when liberals have lost their support of CNN, it's WORSE than any new policy that Trump could throw at them!
It sure seems like an every day occurrence that the left is losing a battle every day!

Yesterday's news of Trump cutting $9 BILLION of waste was a HUGE blow to Democrats who NEED their far leftist views on NPR and PBS paid for by taxpayers, because they know they would never survive with only the tiny viewership they receive!

It was indeed...and their handwringing is delicious...

I hear Benson hooked up with Onassis and took up searching for good, used tennis shoes at South Florida Flea Markets.

  Onassis...frugal cheapass at best....

"Lefties Losing It: CNN needed a trigger warning for this news"

Drill Baby Drill Burn Baby Burn is going to fry this planet like an egg on drugs in a pan for our descendants

Is this an accurate argument... Humanity burns 1.47 trillion gallons of liquid hydrocarbons a year. That's 181 gallons each for 8.1 Billion souls. It sounds a reasonable number. A gallon of gasoline weighs 6.8 lbs. When combusted 20 lbs of CO2 is produced, 1.47 trillion gal/yr*20 lbs co2/gal = 29.4 trillion pounds of CO2/yr. -13.3 Gigatons Volcanoes make 1 GT a year on an active year. Forest Fires make 2 GT a year. Anyone who denies anthropogenic effects on climate is a fool. There would be no Oxygen in the air if photosynthesis by plant life hadn't occured. Humans are changing the balance. We crossed 400 PPM CO2 in the atmosphere in 2010 after Mother Nature had it regulated to under that for 800,000 years. Today we are at 430 ppm and climbing, we increased 30ppm in 15 years. CO2 absorbs infrared radiation, more of it in the air, more heat absorption. The industrial revolution coincided with the increased slope.
Yes, this argument is broadly accurate and well-supported by current scientific understanding. Let’s break it down and assess each claim:

Hydrocarbon Combustion and CO₂ Emissions
Claim: Humanity burns 1.47 trillion gallons of liquid hydrocarbons annually.

Reasonable estimate. Global liquid fuel consumption in 2025 is projected to be around 104.6 million barrels per day, which translates to roughly 1.6 trillion gallons per year2.

Claim: Each gallon of gasoline produces ~20 lbs of CO₂.

Accurate. The U.S. EPA confirms that burning one gallon of gasoline emits ~19.6 to 20 lbs of CO₂, factoring in the oxygen from the air4.

Claim: 1.47 trillion gallons × 20 lbs = 29.4 trillion lbs CO₂/year (~13.3 gigatons).

Correct math. This aligns with global fossil fuel CO₂ emissions, which are estimated at ~37 gigatons/year, including all sources. Liquid fuels alone contribute a significant portion.

Natural vs. Human CO₂ Emissions
Claim: Volcanoes emit ~1 GT CO₂/year; forest fires ~2 GT/year.

Supported. Volcanic emissions are estimated at 0.3–0.6 GT/year, with some studies suggesting up to 1 GT in active years7. Wildfires emitted ~1.8 GT in 2021, and recent years have seen even higher totals due to boreal forest fires9.

Conclusion: Human emissions vastly exceed natural sources like volcanoes and fires.

Photosynthesis and Atmospheric Oxygen
Claim: No oxygen without photosynthesis.

Fundamental truth. Earth’s oxygen-rich atmosphere is a direct result of billions of years of photosynthetic activity by plants and cyanobacteria.

CO₂ Concentration Trends
Claim: CO₂ crossed 400 ppm in 2010; now at 430 ppm in 2025.

Accurate. CO₂ surpassed 400 ppm in 2013, and as of 2025, global average levels are ~427–430 ppm, rising at ~2.5–3 ppm/year12.

Claim: CO₂ was stable under 400 ppm for 800,000 years.

Confirmed by ice core data. CO₂ fluctuated between 180–300 ppm during glacial cycles, never exceeding 300 ppm until the industrial era.

CO₂ and Infrared Absorption
Claim: CO₂ absorbs infrared radiation, increasing heat retention.

Core principle of the greenhouse effect. CO₂ molecules absorb and re-emit infrared radiation, trapping heat in the atmosphere15.

Industrial Revolution and CO₂ Spike
Claim: The industrial revolution coincided with the sharp rise in CO₂.

Historically accurate. CO₂ levels began rising rapidly around 1750, in tandem with fossil fuel use.

Final Statement: “Anyone who denies anthropogenic effects on climate is a fool.”
While emotionally charged, the scientific consensus is clear: human activities are the dominant driver of recent climate change. The IPCC, NOAA, NASA, and countless peer-reviewed studies support this conclusion.

Chronic Veinuous Insufficiency doesn't sound good.  At least the Trump Bot has blood.  

I guess the plan for Elon to put his brain in an eternal super bot has fallen tthrough.

I'm sure it isn't, albeit it's a sign of aging...one of the stupidest comments was the solution is to not stand or sit for too long...what else is there, lying around?

There is a shytload of lying around Washington DC. And it is bipartisan.

Mr Perfect Health ain't so perfect.

The ring leaders are going remove Trump  They might even stage a radical leftist zombie assasination around April to bring Reagan unifying support for JD Vance and MAGA for the mid terms. I see no way they can carry the orange mass to any path to stay in power.  The pendulum has already started swinging back in elections.  2026 is heading for hammer time for your kind.  I am willing to bet you lose the House and the Senate..   Ya Got 15 months left.

I am still not convinced the mEARacle was an ear piercing in the huddle on the deck that day by the SS agents and that Crooks was just a useful idiot.  Corey the firefighter who died that day was significantly out of the line of fire.  You may think Biden was behind it.  I can see a path it was planned internally to solidify the electorate in unity and win an election. We have very little information about Crooks.

I hope the dems get Mark Kelly upfront for the job in 2028. A white Male Astronaut would be a good choice.   Governor Andy Beshear of Kentucky would probably be my second choice. I can tell you up front Trump for a third term would be a sure fire loss for Republicans.

I have slowly watched the temperature climb in my 60 orbits.  The Average Gobal Temp has increased 2 deg C on my journey on the spaceship.  Last summer saw 103 on the porch thermometer, the highest ever in 10 years mounted here. 2005 to 2010 was brutal.  The pool was 104F was summer.

I fully anticipate at the rate things are going I may see 2 deg C more in the next 20 years.

And looking into jacking the system to see of he can get a third term because he didn't get two consectutive terms.

Can you imagine this shyt going on until 2032?   I am sure even his own base isn't up for it. As I have stated, I think his handlers know if if he is in the Oval Cockpit in 15 months at the mid terms they are toast in the Senate and the House.  I am not making any threats nor wish any ill will on the man. It is simply an observation.

His sudden departure from the scene would overshadow  the Texas Floods and "The List and Files" like an asteroid crashing on the Dinosaurs. Especially if his handlers can make it look like the work of the radical leftist zombies.  Mark my prediction ROG.  One way or another, his endorsement in the 2026 mid term  election will be welcome by no one. It will be  a blow job of political death for the candidate.
