President Trump had our country energy independent for the first time in my memory. We were no longer obliged to kiss the royal butts of the Arab princes for oil. He gave the go-ahead on the Keystone pipeline. He gave some hope to the coal companies after Obama laid waste to them, all in the interest of 'clean' energy, which is a joke. Those are lame socialist ideas. You don't tear something down without having a plan and the money to build in its place something better.

I'm all for a cleaner environment, but not when I'm sitting in a dark, cold house, wrapped in several layers of blankets. I don't see any reason why it has to be either/or. There have been many improvements over the years on burning coal cleaner, as well as other petroleum products.

But, there are a few things I don't understand. I keep reading about the Nordstrum pipeline from Russia, which is ready to deliver natural gas to Europe. But the fake Biden administration won't sign off on it. Excuse me, but when did Biden take over Russia? I must have slept through that transition. How is it any of our business if Russia wants to sell oil or gas to any European country, or anywhere else?

On top of that, I am reading that the U.DS. is dangerously low on coal. Really? Who started that nasty rumor? In just one area, where I live, there are tugs moving 9-12 barges at a time, filled with coal until the river freezes over. Besides that, we have and have always had, 4-6 trains a day, during the day, maybe more at night, of rail cars, filled with coal. Usually 100 cars per train. Each car has 100 tons of coal in it. What is happening to all of that coal. Is the Dufus in the White House selling that to China along with our reserve stock of oil?

Is there anything else this Obama mouthpiece (puppet) can do to tear this country down? And, where are our senators and representatives, asleep at the wheel? Everyone is too distracted by the COVID variant fairytale to pay attention.

Trump put America first. That is the intelligent thing for all nations to do. I think we, as a nation, are being allowed to see firsthand just how destructive socialism is. I hope we wake enough people up in time to stop this madness. And, I hope that future generations never forget this time in our nation's history.
