Mister Biden's announcement that he wants to end the oil industry could hurt him in oil revenue states like TX, OK, ND, PA, and Wisconsin. Wisconsin? Fracking sand mining has become a major industry in Wisconsin. Those east bound ND coal trains, headed for Chicago-land power stations, come back loaded with Wisconsin fracking sand. Stop fracking, end oil, and the Wisconsin fracking sand industry goes too. Sorry Badgers.

Yes, that's my opinion of FBI warrants of subpoenas to take possession of a laptop. That the FBI child porn investigators took the laptop is not opinion.

Now why would I do that? You're free to Ram your way around, yet I'll be keeping a Hawk eye on you.

No. I said it was poppycock until the FBI's child porn people stepped in. With that it became noteworthy. If this was Russian disinfo, why would the FBI knowingly step in? It only makes the Bureau look the fool. And the Bureau does not work at the direction of the DNI.

A NYT opinion piece. Radcliffe is on the record as DNI.

Fargo PD ... you're not helping. Hidden in this? Good news for Hayduke1: it's not actually illegal to be annoying.

Agree. I'll go with Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe.

The claims were poppycock to me ... until the report that the FBI child porn division had interest.

If the claims of what is on that laptop (things of interest to the FBI child porn division) are true they are only made worse by the claims of who (the particular minor) the pictures are of.

272D-BA-3065729 <-- That is not the S/N of Hunter Biden's laptop; or, I guess it is, sort of.

Your link: If it's before November 3, in most States, your vote has not been counted ... yet.

The account Mister Trump spoke of last night, namely the one reported openly in his business records, namely the one he closed before he announced his candidacy? That one?

FBI’s top child porn investigator has subpoenaed Hunter Biden’s laptop

I'd say he's on some sort of blood thinner. I've seen similar things in family on thinners.

That is Mister Obama's deputy chief of mission at the Ukraine embassy questioning the arrangement. https://journaltimes.com/news/local/update-johnson-s-meeting-with-biden-associate-postponed-bobulinski-meeting-with-fbi/article_959879fc-041a-5056-a6ee-985500c98648.html And what happens to corruption investigators in Ukraine? Well ... sunuva ...

... after taking five days off.

The Bobulinski blockade is breaking. It's no longer just Fox, NY Post, and WSJ. Newsweek has published a story. C-Span has video of his presser on their site. Obviously the Brits have it because they cover US politics better than we do.

We'll figure out battery tech at some point. I hope to be alive to see it.

Here comes my biases as an engineer; strap in. When I hear an engineer say "we'll work it out", we will and do. When I hear anyone else say "we'll work it out" it means they won't but will expect someone else (an engineer) to do it.

Joe Biden: (15:32) So 50k or 500k? This time Mister Biden's gaf took him ... wrong. His own plan calls for 500k charging stations. Now that that is cleared up, how does he plan to power those charging stations? Solar? Wind? I look out my window to a cloudy windless day. Those will not be viable until we have (as I've harped time and again) at-scale battery technology. Those will have to be baseline load as they need to be ready and available quite literally at the flip of a switch. Welcome to fossil or nuclear. That's baseline. But the rest of the secret they don't tell you: A level 2 (L2) or level 3 (L3) charging station is some heavy, large scale power company equipment (cables, transformers). Think of the difference in supplying power to your home versus a welding shop or small factory*. So the power company has a huge infrastructure investment (for the large equipment) to sell 20-30 kWh once in a while. (Average home uses 30 kWh per day; that's about half charge of a Tesla.) Normally equipment sized like that has continuous duty load (selling at least 2 to 3 hundred kWh per day, like a welding shop). Not at L2 or L3 chargers. Power company pays the big infrastructure investment to sell very little electricity. Who do you think makes up the difference? Oh, and building those larger cables and transformers? It takes a lot of energy. *The energy delivery is in minutes, not hours, so the cables and transformers have to be upsized to carry the high currents.

I know mixed-use urban is the "kinda hip kinda now kinda cool kinda wow" thing, but I must admit I'm kinda glad I don't live in that type of building in a Covid world.

The only time I appreciated his over-enthusiasm? Three words. Lightning. Strikes. Twice.

Masterfully played.

Did he really mean "go to oil" or is that another adorable Biden misspeak? Assuming he meant "oil will have to go", but we're not getting rid of fossil fuels? Um, ... oil is a fossil fuel. If it goes how are you not getting rid of fossil fuels? And can he please pick a date. At one point in the debate he says "2025"; then he rolls out a "2035"; and then in this quote it's "2050". Dan Dotson would be proud of that. Do I hear a "2075"?
