"I never understood wind.
You know, I know
windmills very much.
I have studied it
better than anybody
else. It’s very expensive.
They are made in China
and Germany mostly.
—Very few made here, almost none,
but they are manufactured, tremendous
—if you are into this—
tremendous fumes. Gases are
spewing into the atmosphere. You know
we have a world
right?
So the world
is tiny
compared to the universe.
So tremendous, tremendous
amount of fumes and everything.
You talk about
the carbon footprint
— fumes are spewing into the air.
Right? Spewing.
Whether it’s in China,
Germany, it’s going into the air.
It’s our air
their air
everything — right?
A windmill will kill many bald eagles.
After a certain number
they make you turn the windmill off.
That is true.
—By the way
they make you turn it off.
And yet, if you killed one
they put you in jail.
That is OK.
You want to see a bird graveyard?
You just go.
Take a look.
A bird graveyard.
Go under a windmill someday,
you’ll see
more birds
than you’ve ever seen
in your life."

Let's post a few lines from one of your fiction books and how three drunks from Spokane reignited an extinct people's existence.

He like everyone else trusted Xi Pingpong. Trudeau did, Italy did, France did. How many millions did those lies kill?

Were you stoned thru Dec/Jan and missed it?

Or did you fall for it too but are too ashamed to admit it?

"I wonder what it's going to take to get him to lose the evangelical vote?"


"I think he could be raw dogging a transvestite on the white house lawn at high noon, and they'd still vote for him."

The Pentagon has reportedly ordered the dissolution of Stars and Stripes, a newspaper specifically dedicated to U.S. armed forces that has run since the Civil War, by September 15. Under the timeline outlined in the memo containing the order, the last issue of the paper would be released on September 30.
According to USA Today, the order is part of the 2021 defense budget plan, which cuts all of the $15.5 million annual subsidies for the paper. This amount represents a very small fraction of the typical defense budget, which was $738 billion in 2020.
Immediately following report that majority of troops oppose Trump, Trump administration orders armed service newspaper publishing since Civil War to shut down within four weeks. https://t.co/15SeG92GgM

This news comes shortly after accusations that Donald Trump called dead veterans in a military cemetery “losers” and requested that amputee veterans be excluded from a military parade because “nobody wants to see that.” It also comes not long after a poll showed support for the president is declining among active-duty service members, preferring Joe Biden by nearly four points.
The U.S. House budget bill for 2021 restores funding for Stars and Stripes, but the Republican-controlled Senate has not, as a whole, moved to keep the paper going. However, 15 senators including four Republicans have asked Defense Secretary Mark Esper to take steps to preserve this funding, and Senator Lindsey Graham wrote his own letter pleading for its preservation.
“As a veteran who has served overseas, I know the value Stars and Stripes brings to its readers,” Graham wrote.
The Stars and Stripes has been praised for being both a symbol of freedom of speech as well as a reliable way for U.S. soldiers to get important military news even in parts of the world where internet access is unreliable at best.
“Thousands of troops around the globe rely on them for the kind of news that just isn’t covered elsewhere — stories from American bases, the latest Department of Defense news, and transparency coverage that cuts through political and military brass BS talking points,” said Representative and Marine veteran Ruben Gallego to Military.com. “It’s exactly the type of honest coverage that our armed forces need, and we weren’t going to let the Administration stifle these voices without a fight.”
The civilian public, including many veterans, also does not appear to be in favor of this move by the Trump administration.
