Which 2 states showed verified facts of election fraud?
Also you made some statement about being forced to buy electric cars which I asked you to verify.

I want a 2 word answer to the first question. F... Y... is not a good answer as neither are states.

I don't think you can or will answer either question. Instead of trying to prove me wrong, PLEASE prove yourself right.

Jim,

There were at least FIVE states that found significant voter pattern anomalies, at the very least, if not six. They are all on public record as having made the claims, and backed them up with real data. That data was then swept under the rug by those interested in getting it under the rug, from both parties.

Nobody is forcing anybody to buy and electric car. Just like nobody is forcing anybody to work for Amazon or Walmart. But that doesn't keep the Left from making the accusation that working for them is akin to slavery. We DID, however, hear ButtJudge tell us that electric cars was the only option he was going to offer as relief from Bidenflation, and we also see the vast majority of the Left supporting this idiocy. When asked about the cost of fuel impacting the poor, his response was (paraphrased)," Well, they could always buy electric cars." If AOC were to be given "SNAP" powers, that's exactly what we'd see: Us forced to buy electric cars.

Thanks. Brad.

Arizona was the first and it was a fight between the legislature and the election board. The election board did everything they could to hide ballots, block the auditors from getting information and was allegedly lying to everyone. IIRC, this included the Arizona Secretary of State. This was highly publicized while it was going on. Georgia also did recounts and an audit, though not as thorough as Arizona's. Wisconsin did a recount in two of the largest counties, but no audit and lawsuit were filed in several states resulting in the Michigan Secretary of State agreeing to a statewide audit though I don't know who did the audit.
As far as the electric car issue, thanks Brad

Here we go, just out this morning:
Manchin takes swipe at Biden as White House shifts inflation blame again - YouTube
Gas prices and Biden authorizing 15% methanol in our gas is talked about in the second half of the video, along with the "ButtJudge" electric car comment being blasted. It's only going to keep getting worse folks and, if the methanol amount is added, it just might damage car engines. Unless the engine was designed to run on gas or the E-85, like my Tahoe, the amount of methanol being added could cause detonation because methanol will burn faster than the gas will. I do know that E-85 burns hotter than gas and it will reduce the MPG of any vehicle that is using it. Says that right in my Tahoe's owners manual

Mr Moderator is that OK ??????????

Mark I thought you respected fellow veterans. Just my opinion ...you have an odd way of showing it.

I do have respect for fellow veterans, just copied and pasted from another earlier post. Then again, Pete Buttigieg isn't doing a lot to earn or deserve that respect. Telling the country that they need to buy electric vehicles, so that Biden's war on fossil fuels can continue, just doesn't cut it in my book. Then again, I made a post a while back about how an electric vehicle used to tow a camp trailer isn't an option for me, found a video that kind of backs that up:
Towing With An Electric Truck - Is It Cheaper Than Gas? Rivian R1T vs Ford F-150 PowerBoost - YouTube
They found that it was less than $5 cheaper to tow a 7500 pound cargo trailer 57.5 miles using the vehicles they tested but the electric vehicle barely had the range to make it. Then, it had to sit for an hour to recharge up to the same level it started the test at. Since the test used a cargo trailer, not a camp trailer, I can see how inappropriate it would be to use an electric vehicle to tow my trailer.

(131) Repair Shop Owner Suggests Republicans Are Lying About Hunter Biden Laptop - YouTube

Really? The guy goes on an anti-Trump rant and is sponsored by Twitter, who banned PRESIDENT TRUMP along with half the people at FOX and other news sources and you expect us to take him seriously? For that matter, WTF is "Ring of Fire"? Is it a news outlet? Is it a private individual's rant site?
The repair shop owner has been interviewed before. He's never said the republicans were lying before, just that he made copies of the files on the hard drive, one of which was obtained by Rudy Giuliani and forwarded to a reporter with the New York Post. After that, the laptop went to the FBI, where it's been sat on for over a year.

Jim,

What? You'd have preferred OrangeCheeto?

Don't get all butthurt over otherwise non-offensive words, found profusely throughout this forum, just because they violate your sensibilities. There have been many considerably more questionable comments used on this forum. I didn't hear/read you or anybody who sounds like you getting all hair-on-fire when it was directed at politicians you didn't like.

Thanks. Brad.

Ran my first race in 1997. Don't spend much time making comments on IW. Read it most every day though. Sometimes my self control goes out the window and I write something. Mostly I spend free time working on my boats. You might not remember but I bought a Bandit mono from you a few years back. Won 2 district titles with it. I race in the same district as Hydro Junkie. Never seen him at a race in all those years. Seems kind of odd but I don't get too wound up about it.

I would like nothing more than to meet you and race you. I'm sure some of my racing racing buddies would also be happy to see you. I not one to brag but I race against them all the time and I've beaten them on the course. They have more national titles that I have posts on IW.

Regarding respect, it is earned, its earned over time and you can gain it by what others say about a person. I've never met you but guys I race with like Jerry, Mark A, Greg Mike Kelly, Loring, Eric and many others speak very highly of you and so if they say you are a good guy...I'm a believer.

A couple months back, I went for a ride in the vintage unlimited Miss Wahoo. Jere Heiser an rc racer you may have heard of was the driver. It was the thrill of a lifetime. Woopin your butt in an RC race would be a close second. Actually, just finishing second would be a thrill.

30 seconds to the start !!!

now.. that works.. much better.

Its nice to get to know you better.

Kind Regards

[Hydro Junkie]

Jim, it's probably due to the fact you race D-8 and I run with R/CU, that is when I get the chance. Actually missed the Finley race last weekend due to work. Haven't had the time to get the Elam ready and have been pretty much worn out due to hours worked and long commute times.

You saw that too, I take it. Saw a video yesterday that showed a picture of an illegal immigrant taking a selfie with no fear what so ever of being arrested. Here's three videos about that and the White House's reaction to it and the Texas law enforcement stopping trucks coming across the border:

Hi all - I regret that this thread unfortunately went from a fairly dry (but respectful) economic discussion between Brad and myself about supply and demand price rises to a fully fledged, no holds barred political slugfest.

I still maintain that gas price rises are excessive when related to crude oil prices rises and I wanted to display this year to date chart from microtrends.net showing average US gas prices (red line) to US crude oil prices (blue line). Whilst the relationship between the two is clear my argument is somewhat borne out in the late March into April period which is when I made my comment.

Added comment - don't get caught up with the individual numbers because they are averages, it is the trend line that's important. If the profit margins were consistent then one line would always be above the other line.

 

[Hydro Junkie]

No need to apologize or anything, it isn't your fault. Threads that can have a political over/undertone have a tendency to degenerate like this one has that is more the rule than anything else. In fact, I see threads devolve like this all the time in a different forum.

Gary,

Am I reading that chart correctly, in that it is NOT those evil oil companies who are to blame for the excessive gas prices over the last couple months, like a certain Peppermint Psaki would have us believe?

Thanks for setting me straight on why I don't see you at the races. I went to the RCU website and now I know. Nothing like some factual information to learn a lot

Brad I don't get my hair on fire about anything...I'm bald as a billiard ball.
