I think it's time we faced the fact that an awful lot of folks in this country aren't anything like those of us on this forum. It's also time the Republican party figures some shit out and gets with the program or they'll never win another election in states with widely mixed demographics. JMHO I have seen a lot of hard working, Spanish speaking people on the farms. It seems like they should be conservatives. I agree. I've said the same thing for years. The Republican party should be reaching out to hispanic folks. Cuban Americans already tend to vote R, largely because they and their ancestors knew first hand what communism looks and feels like. Many of the recent immigrants/illegals do too. Find a way to reach common ground with them...

Hispanics live as republicans, think as republicans, and are conservative by nature. All the GOP has to do to get their vote is to not alienate them. Constantly making them the villian for coming to the US isn't helping. They are here, stop making them the bad guys. Keep fighting to secure the boarder but don't make them the bad guy. Make the dems the bad guys for not wanting a safe and secure boarder.

They could report that the democrats were the party of slavery, kkk, lynchings, killing babies, pro sexual harassment of children letting men into female bathrooms, etc but, they won’t. They covered up the Russia hoax and were definitely involved neck deep in it. With the Saudi’s cutting production you’ll see $4.50 gas this year and higher prices. The dollar is going to drop like a lead anchor once it’s demonetized. The media will blame it on Russia. What the libs don’t realize is the first people the socialists kill are the school teachers and government employees. That’s a majority of the democrat party. It’ll happen in our lifetime. I wouldn’t have said that 10 years ago.

Another thing the media also won't tell us is that several presidents prior to this one were tested by Russia and responded in a way that kept them out of Ukraine. Obama responded with economic sanctions when they invaded Crimea. Trump told them he would wipe them off the face of the earth. biden just let it continue. Very much preventable. Now the world is organizing to take us down economically.

Now the world is organizing to take us down economically. I hope both of you guys are wrong but fear you are right. What really gets me is this shutting down of fossil fuels and the pipeline from Canada. We backed out of an agreement with our best neighbor that was partially completed. Will they ever trust us again? A transition to more efficiency in the energy sector is good. Less waste is good. But this intense shutting down in the US is plain nuts. It gives Russia and OPEC a great opportunity.

They have bought up half of Europe due to Covid and millions of acres here in the US. They haven’t cut fossil fuels at all. They won’t. They know the truth.

They know the truth. 25yrs ago when I was in the machine shop I remember we were all convinced China was the next superpower and that if we didn't wise up they were going to rule us. I remember clearly one guy in group said it's already started but in 30 years we'll see major shifts in economy. Crazy how insightful the old drunk guy was.

Russia is meaningless on a world wide power measurement. They can't even defeat the Ukraine.
China is the real deal. They have sought world dominance since around the time Nixon re-opened talks with them. I used to think they'd become the world's #1 power in the next generation's life time. Now, I'm beginning to think it will be during mine.

It’s too bad the US relies on China. Tariffs helped, but that pissed em off… then they released the China flu.

Once Saudi Arabia drops the dollar and switches to BRICS it will have way more impact on us than Budweiser and Nike supporting a Trans but, our media will never report on it until it’s too late.

I know what BRICS is. I don't believe there will ever be a "BRICs" dollar. It will simply be the Chinese yuan that replaces the U.S. dollar. China will work with (e.g. bribe/coerce) other countries to achieve hegemony, but I don't believe they are at all interested in sharing that power with anybody else.

I believe you’re right but, whatever the case, the dollar will drop line a lead weight. All our medical, clothing, energy will be solely in China’s hands. They can cut the spigot just like opec did but, on a much larger scale. Ukraine , trans, LeBron, the Oscars, Kardashian’s , etc won’t matter much to us then.

Will we ever find out how much the Biden’s have benefitted from China and the Ukraine ?
