What is Science?

We keep hearing “follow the science” when it comes to wearing face coverings and social distancing but what does that really mean? In the context of COVID-19 it translates into do what I say because what I say is the truth because it follows the science of our time.

There are many definitions of “Science” and each one depends upon the context of who the author is and their desired outcome? It’s kind of like practicing law or medicine, even after obtaining the degree, hanging it on the office wall the holder is still “practicing”.

Science is the study of the physical and natural world through observations and experiments.

The Short Answer: Science consists of observing the world by watching, listening, observing, and recording. Science is curiosity in thoughtful action about the world and how it behaves. Anyone can think like a scientist

According to this Wikipedia article that claims the earliest roots of science can be traced to Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia around 3500 to 3000 BCE.

So what did people do before that?

Maybe they did what many of us still do today – what is printed on the currency of the United States:

IN GOD WE TRUST

Early man didn’t have the written word of God like we have. However they had the next best thing and actual words from the Lord God creator of everything and the author of life itself.

Once God says something, it becomes fact so when scientists test theories or scientific ideas they are simply proving what God has already deemed as fact. So when politicians say “follow the science” what they really should be saying is follow what God has said.

Humans are created to cluster together, not become isolated “islands” void of outside human contact. That is why it is so important for families to gather together; children to interact in schools; workers to interconnect on the job and is the best reason for opening our nation up and getting back to normal.

The most important science to follow is that of common sense. It’s been tested and tried since the beginning of time and when used properly will enable us to survive a great many trials and tribulations as long as we place our trust in Christ alone.

Where do you place your trust?

On the 2nd Impeachment of Trump

There are a number of things that don’t ring true when it comes to the powers of impeachment given solely to the House of Representatives. In our nation’s history no American president has ever been forced from office due to impeachment.

There have been six times in our history where Congress has held serious discussions of impeachment.

• Andrew Johnson was impeached but acquitted in the Senate and remained in office.
• Congress introduced a resolution to impeach John Tyler but that resolution failed.
• Congress began debating impeaching Richard Nixon until he resigned.
• William J. Clinton was impeached but was acquitted in the Senate and remained in office.
• Donald J. Trump was impeached but was acquitted in the Senate and remained in office.
• Donald J. Trump was impeached just prior to completing his term in office and is to be tried in the Senate as a private citizen.

I was watching a live interview with former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer on CSPAN this afternoon and when asked if President Trump’s remarks at the MEGA rally on January 6^th did in his opinion fire up the crowd as the media has reported and warrant impeachment for causing insurrection into the Capitol?

It was Sean’s answer that brought things into focus. First he said that before answering that question you must first answer these questions:

Is it constitutional to impeach a President who is no longer in office?

Did his remarks at the rally constitute an impeachable offense?

What is the remedy of impeachment?

Impeachable Offenses

Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution says, “The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”

Let’s look at the “crimes” in the case made by the House Managers:

At the rally on January 6^th President Trump fired up his supporters into an angry mob and told them to fight Congress to make their voices heard. – Loosely paraphrased by me.

What the President said:

We will go peacefully to let Congress hear our voice. – Loosely paraphrased by me.

So with mere days before the end of President Trump’s term in office the House exercised their full authority under the Constitution to impeach him because he wouldn’t resign and had committed no crime. Remember what happened to President Nixon who was caught up in Watergate and did in fact resign because Congress was discussing impeachment.

So let’s go back to Sean Spicer’s questions – what is the remedy impeachment is supposed to “fix” – according to the Constitution the Senate votes to convict and can vote to remove the President from office.

Once again in their rush to judgement the House Judiciary Committee discussed and forwarded a resolution stating impeachment was warranted and hastily brought it before the floor for a full vote knowing full well that there were only days before the President’s term of office would end. Their goal was to get the Senate to convict, remove from office and prevent the President from holding elected office ever again.

Not to be morbid but it’s like the government taxing a dead man and taking his suit before sealing the casket shut.

So hateful are the Democratic and RINO members of Congress toward former President Trump they will place him in history as the only President to be impeached twice, acquitted once and have his second impeachment declared unconstitutional at the same time. It may be time for House Speaker Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader to go back and take a second look at Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution as it applies equally to them.

Impeachable Offenses

Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution says, “The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.” [Emphasis mine]

The ground rules have been set for the trial phase in the Senate and we are all in for what will be another Congressional circus. – I am The Real Truckmaster!

Becoming Offended

How do people become offended? What offends you? There are many things in life that tug at the strings of your heart or play with your mind. Being offended is all too often simply a choice.

Advertising companies know just how to present a product in such a way that makes you pick up the phone, jump on the computer or voice your concern over a perceived injustice. Rather than going online and calling for a boycott of this, that or another we should compare it to God’s rather than man’s standard. Rodney King said it best, “Can’t we all just get along?” We could, you know but it requires sacrifice.

We should be offended by what Almighty God say’s is offensive to him.

1. We are told to have no other gods before the creator God. What is your god?
2. We are told not to worship things instead of God. What or who do you idolize?
3. We are told not to take God’s name in vain. Do you bless and curse in the name of God?
4. We are told to remember the Sabbath and keep it holy. Who is the god of your Sabbath?
5. We are told to honor your father and your mother. Do we really honor them by disrespectful words or actions?
6. We are told not to kill. Who have you killed by your tongue or your actions?
7. We are told not to commit adultery. As a man thinks – he does?
8. We are told not to steal. What have you taken that wasn’t yours to take?
9. We are told not to speak falsely against your neighbor? Little white lies included?
10. We are told not to covet what other people have. Focusing on what others possess makes the grass look greener on their side of the fence. What do you wish you had?

It’s easier to justify why we do that which God has commanded us not to than it is to repent and ask God to forgive up.

Jesus was offended and overturned the money changers tables in the outer courtyard of the temple but told us to be angry but sin not. That’s the hard part. When we see someone being mistreated should we be like Moses and strike down the offender or do as Jesus said to turn the other cheek?

When your relationship with God is in right standing you will be able to do the right thing, in spite of what others say or do, it’s one thing to be led by the Holy Spirit and quite another to let your inner self push you along.

Respect is something everyone deserves, yet it is easier to give and harder to receive.

When your mind is on you everything becomes offensive and you in turn are a living offense.

Luke 10:27 – He (Jesus) answered: ” ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself’.”

This Jesus said is the greatest commandment. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Conspiracy to Commit – a 2nd Look at the TIME’S Article

We were told that Russia interfered with the 2016 election and almost certainly they did, as well as members of our own government under Barack Obama’s administration. What was not expected was that Trump (a virtual political unknown) would get the nod from the GOP, but actually win the elector college votes and thus become the 45^th President of the United States.

It was Obama who smiled while telling then president-elect Trump that everyone wished his administration success because America would succeed while at the same time was conducting a massive investigation into pinning a trumped up Russian-Trump Collusion charge to sink Trump’s presidency before it even began.

Conspiracy

Wikipedia

A conspiracy, also known as a plot, is a secret plan or agreement between persons (called conspirers or conspirators) for an unlawful or harmful purpose, such as murder or treason, especially with political motivation,^[1] while keeping their agreement secret from the public or from other people affected by it. In a political sense, conspiracy refers to a group of people united in the goal of usurping, altering or overthrowing an established political power. Depending on the circumstances, a conspiracy may also be a crime, or a civil wrong.^[2] The term generally implies wrongdoing or illegality on the part of the conspirators, as people would not need to conspire to engage in activities that were lawful and ethical, or to which no one would object.

During the 4 years of Donald Trump’s presidency all we heard from democrats and the liberal left was the word “Conspiracy” insinuating anti-American wrongdoing on the part of the president. We have known all along that CONSPIRACY was committed by Democratic government officials and a campaign of misinformation was launched to cover their tracks.

This campaign of misinformation has been carried to fruition by a number of individuals, organizations, groups, government agencies and even from the halls of Congress prior to, during and after the 2020 election. Yet it is only the tip of the political iceberg.

The newly released (February 4^th 2021) article scheduled to appear in the February 15^th, 20201 issue of TIME, written by Molly Ball and her team of reporters has very precisely shown a light on a conspiracy to commit election interference and worse prior to the 2020 election. Not only was this conspiracy committed, but it was put into action by a loosely coordinated band of left wing activists, private sector and corporate actors, as well as former and current government officials as they proudly proclaim they “fortified” a failed US election process and saved democracy from an autocratic President Trump, preventing him from winning the election.

I have to admit when I first read the article I became angry not so much that such a thing ever existed but that it was allowed to fester like a boil on the backside of our nation. The hatred that spewed from this conspiracy became so thick it could be cut with a knife.

Like everyone I watched as radical leftist groups committed acts of unspeakable atrocities in American cities, attacking innocent citizens, resisting and assaulting law enforcement and destroying public and private property while given the green light by elected officials, even when lives were lost due to this unnecessary and purely avoidable violence.

The TIMES article by Molly Ball went into the belly of the beast. She and her reporters named names, identified organizations, corporations and government agencies. They conducted interviews, had access to documents, emails and the detailed inner-workings beginning at ground zero. I’ve always said follow the money and I’m a bit disappointed that her team failed to follow the money all the way up the chain to the source.

What was exposed was a band of freedom fighters who viewed themselves as “shadow campaigners” who conveniently disbanded or went underground in “standby” mode to be activated again when the time is right as they refer to themselves as defenders of democracy. They compared the United States against other democratic nation states and that is where they errored because our country is not a democracy. They see themselves as patriots when they are nothing more than organized criminals who interfered with the general election and set into motion actions, people and events to obtain their “desired outcome” in the 2020 election and change the course of our nation.

The United States of America is a Constitutional-Republic. It is our Constitution that is the rule of law. It is up to everyone to become defenders of the Constitution. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Time for Unity in America

I’m going to ruffle some feathers but that’s okay because everyone is talking just not about it. There was a time when our nation openly and blatantly displayed racist tendencies gathered from people around the globe. Slavery has been a fact of life since the creation of man and skin color had little or nothing to do with it, but worshipping God has had everything to do with slavery. A primary tenant of Christianity is submitting the will of man to the will of God.

To the believer that act of faith has lasting and eternal consequences. To the non-believer it is ludicrous to place your trust and hope in what you cannot see and the biblical command to turn the other cheek has been misused and taken advantage of by many.

Our nation was founded on the precept that all men are created equal and given certain unalienable rights by their Creator. Our Declaration of Independence and subsequently the Constitution of the United States has enshrined those principles. Our nation has gone to war, brother against brother over the interpretation of that very idea.

Abraham Lincoln quoted the biblical verse that a nation divided against itself cannot stand. He understood the implications of that better than most and lost his life because of his beliefs and his stand to defend them.

Our nation is changing and evolving as we learn to set aside prejudices, biases and stereotypes. In the early 1960s we coined the phrase “reverse discrimination” where forcible changes were enacted to “right the ship of state in America”. In many ways it was a lowering of the bar so that everyone could step across and once high standards disappeared as simply applying was good enough. Today it is common place and everyone gets a participation trophy.

February has been designated Black History Month and we celebrate notable accomplishments of men and women who bravely stepped forward when others would not. Every day we are bombarded with “in your face” discrimination like the BLM movement where we are told to just deal with it.

How about an ALM programs and channels for Asian audiences which are many?

Cable providers have an abundance of channels and programs dedicated to black and Hispanic audiences. If you don’t want to watch them, simply scroll by and select another program or channel. What would happen if there was an abundance of channels and programs dedicated to a white audience? Would a WLM movement be tolerated? The biggest social injustice being committed in America is the evolution of reverse discrimination which has become the “offended” movement.

Why are military recruits required to complete basic training? What is the purpose of rigorous and grueling workouts of mind and body? Is it not to tear away unwanted ideologies so as to replace them with unity and teamwork, giving recruits a sense of accomplishment?

How do you bring unity back to America? Send everyone to basic military style training? Maybe…..you must find a common cause, a common identity and work to bring everyone to identify with national pride in our country.

We teach our children in school something called the Pledge of Allegiance. Do you know it? Can you say it? Do you believe it? I mean really, really believe what it says? You should you know?

“I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.”

Have we forgotten that this pledge was written to unify the nation after the Civil War? If you do not believe it, or refuse to honor the nation, its flag, our traditions you are in the wrong place.

As a nation we have allowed ourselves to be disrespected by our athletes, entertainers and even by our government. When our leaders are ashamed of our nation and will not salute the flag with their right hand over their heart and refuse to openly and unashamedly recite the pledge of allegiance, they do not deserve to continue in their elected office and when law makers become law breakers they should resign to face criminal prosecution.

The Congress of the United States has been the source of systematic racism that has plagued our nation for many years. There are entities within the congress that exploit, circumvent or outright ignore the laws their body creates to further their racist cause of national division. It is time to abolish those entities once and for all. It’s time to bring unity back to America.

Unity occurs when people (you and I) come together honoring and respecting each other without regard to ethnic or political background. It’s time to raise the bar high once again in America.

On the Secret History – Times Article

I’m sorry but Times writer Molly Ball’s article is full of holes and slanderous accusations of President Trump and his supporters in an attempt to “justify” the treasonous actions of an organized resistance under the “direction” of Mike Podhorzer of the AFL-CIO and others to insure the “proper outcome” of the 2020 Election by influencing perceptions, changing rules and laws while steering media coverage to control the flow of information.

I call this election interference and I call it illegal. Now that the TIME article has been published and democratic strategists are congratulating themselves on their resistance to insure that Trump lost the election I want to know what the Department of Justice is going to do about it. After all it involves government officials, private industry leaders, internet and social media founders and an army of individuals who dedicated themselves to one end – Trump failing to be re-elected.

As sited in the article the nation braced for chaos as liberal groups vowed to take to the streets, planning hundreds of protests across the country. Right-wing militias were girding for battle. – C’mon man!

But it hasn’t ended even now.

What had been happening and what continues today are militant groups like Antifa and Black Lives Matter literally destroyed cities, burned down businesses, assaulted law enforcement and citizens alike and did so with impunity and under the inferred approval of Congressional Democratic Leaders – Speaker Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Schumer.

How does our nation respond? What steps do we take in recourse when the Three Branches of Government have themselves become corrupted to the point of effectively staging a coup to take down the sitting President of the United States and when government employees collaborate with public and private entities to remove the President is that not Treason –Sedition – Insurrection?

These individuals did in fact violate the RICO Statute by conspiring together to interfere with the General Election. Meetings were held and documented. Input from various sources were sought, recorded and openly discussed and actionable plans were carried out. I am by no means an attorney but surely there are legal beagles that can put two and two together to come up with four?

President Trump was right – there was massive election fraud in virtually every precinct in the nation. Mail in voting, when not requested did lead to voter fraud as well. Why did dead voter’s vote for Biden, but had the good judgement not to vote for Trump? Why were 42,000 voters allowed to vote twice in Arizona but never prosecuted? Why were dominion voting systems connected to the internet instead of a secure firewalled network? These and so many other questions have yet to be answered, but there are “fact checkers” that will censure information asking these very questions.

I’m sorry but I couldn’t read through the entire article as it was simply another democratically inspired hit piece on President Trump as these “saviors” of the 2020 Election pat themselves on the back and now want the world to know what they did and how they conspired to succeed. As for Molly Ball, your article and your sources should make interesting reading when this actually comes before a judge and jury. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Giving Voice to the Spirit of Americanism

The average American has had no voice in Congress for quite some time as those sent to represent us have simply forgotten us. If you don’t believe me just look around and tell me when was the last time you actually saw your congressional representative or senator? Have you ever seen them except on television? To be fair when they are in town their time is rationed out for various projects they are pushing or supporting and they must make good use of it before heading back to DC.

Pre-COVID I had a purpose going to a town hall meeting for my representative here in Colorado Springs. I got there early and the place was packed. It seemed that everyone else had a purpose as well. The congressman came, gave his spiel answered a few questions and was escorted out. I left feeling left out completely.

I am a Thailand veteran of the Vietnam War who was exposed to herbicides (Agent Orange) and other chemicals during my time in the military overseas in Southeast Asia. I’ve been to my congressman’s office a number of times and have exchanged emails with his military liaison requesting help with obtaining those elusive military records needed for my disability claim with the VA. Never once have I seen the congressman in his office or have the feeling that he is truly representing me personally.

With politicians focusing on themselves and political parties focused on raising money for their candidates it was inevitable the “Spirit of Americanism” was dead. The only thing left was to throw dirt on it and say a prayer.

During the campaign season of the 2016 presidential election a non-politician rose to give voice to the spirit of Americanism. His efforts singlehandedly brought forth a pride for America that had been lost over time simply because he chose to involve Americans in the political process. His grassroots support changed the way many thought about politics. While democrats called us the dregs of society and a basket of deplorables – he called us Americans and invited us to join him.

The political repercussions were instantaneous. A massive campaign to discredit him was launched, non-stop yet he did not quit. He said they were not after him. He was the wall they had to go through to get to us. He was right.

After 4 years of Trump’s presidency the patriotism he inspired has been called “Trumpism” and has now been labeled “enemy of the state” by liberal congressional democrats and they are going all out to erase all traces of Trumpism from the face of the earth. By their actions they are attempting to remove national pride and patriotism from America.

After 1 year of COVID-19 and 3 weeks of Bidenism it appears that their efforts have already greatly exceeded the 8 years of Obama. Our nation is on the brink of becoming extinct, yet congressional democrats and a number of republican RINOs are making a concerted effort to insure that this exceptional nation ceases to follow the biblical mandates in our Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States, relegating us into simply another 3^rd world country like China, Cuba, North Korea, Venezuela and others who have trod the path of Communism or Socialism.

It’s time for replacing every lifetime homesteading politician in both the House and the Senate in order to return common sense to American government. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

A Bartender in Congress

It must be a New York thing for a New York City bartender to rise to the Congress of the United States.

Believe it or not AOC is now into her 2^nd term in the House. I’m mystified as to whether it was her mastering the art of mixing drinks or using her female skills to “talk her patrons to death” or both? While most representatives have been lawyers the people of NYC chose her again – WOW! 

Someone recently commented online that AOC is simply an actress playing her part as in one of those “B” movies where she hides in the bathroom, under the commode waiting for “Trumpers” to come busting through the door at any moment. She would be perfect in that commercial on TV where there’s a running car, yet everyone else opts to hide in the tool shed (where the serial killer is hiding).

AOC made her congressional debut posing at the southern border fence and accusing Trump of locking up children in the confinement facilities build by Obama and recently ordered “open for business” again by Biden. Her main “gig” hasn’t been representing the people of NYC or the US but hawking the Green New Deal which Biden said was the Biden Deal. Kicking that fully into gear is causing a chain-reaction of killing American jobs and putting working families out on the street.

There have been many AOC debacles since she became an “expert” DC swamp creature, but her latest was falsely claiming Senator Cruz personally “almost murdered her” on January 6^th where she hid in the bathroom of her office in a building totally separate from the Capitol Building, unless that AOC wearing the Shamans’ mask with horns and everything leading the insurrection?

So how did a girl from the big city who couldn’t afford to rent an apartment in DC on a congressional salary become so high and mighty among the Democrat’s powerful elite? Maybe AOC is plying her bartending skills without a license behind curtain in the chamber of congress, but wouldn’t that make her a “chamber maid” or has that term outlawed by Pelosi too? – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Allegiance is to the Constitution

Since Trump stepped out of the White House and onto Marine One for the ride to Andrews the Biden Administration began vetting National Guard troops being stationed around the Capitol Building to protect “Congress” and any that were found to be conservative Trump supporters were sent home.

Now that the new Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III (retired Army general) has ordered a 60 day stand down of every branch, every command, and every unit using the ploy “to discuss Extremism in the military as a means to ask very personal and private beliefs as to whether a soldier’s allegiance is to President Biden or former President Trump – I say that is a very unconstitutional move. In case Secretary Austin has any question I refer him back to the Oath of Office taken by every enlisted soldier wearing the uniform of the United States military.

Enlisted Oath: I, ___, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the president of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God. 

Maybe military officers take a different oath? Their rise and fall from power is often a purely political one.

Secretary Austin says its leadership, everyone’s leadership and I say it is YOUR leadership sir that must set the standard, not lower it because of politics. The purge of DOD advisory committee members appointed by Trump is just one example of bad political judgment. There is no room in the military for political division. The mission depends on it! – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Climate Change Revisited

Now that President Joe Biden has embraced AOC’s Green New Deal, but calling it the Biden Deal he has begun implementing with Executive Order or Presidential Action mandates that have cost literally thousands of jobs here in the United States.

One of those mandates is for government vehicles to become Electric Vehicles (EVs) by a certain date and while that sounds good to the ear the implications are unachievable.

It might work for the US Postal Service to have EVs delivering mail in residential and some rural areas but what happens when an EV simply runs out of juice? A mobile EV Generator Vehicle with a rapid charge system or an EV tow-truck to tow to the nearest EV charging station. Talk about not getting you mail on time as it is, this would make late mail even later or not at all.

Take the largest vehicle users in government – the DOD. Assuming it is possible for a fighter jet or a bomber to become EVs, what about tanks, trucks, assault vehicles, ships, and while we’re at it spaceships or intergalactic space vehicles? They all must convert. Do we even have an EV charging station in outer space?

I can see a fighter preparing to engage an enemy fighter when the RED caution light comes on declaring an inflight emergency – dead battery? Or a bomber on a run over enemy airfields or nuclear sites – Dead Battery! In the heat of battle the mighty M1A1 Abrams tank headed into the thick of it – DEAD BATTERY! Where are the EV charging stations – Outside of Sams Club or Walmart?

Now for commercial air transport travelling at 40,000 feet @ 6 hours of a 12 hour flight – DEAD BATTERY! Who do you call?

Closer to home – riding the city bus headed home from a long day at work and it’s dark outside, in the middle of the route – DEAD BATTERY!

Call a taxi or Uber – headed to the store for some milk – DEAD BATTERY!

Law Enforcement in hot pursuit – DEAD BATTERY!

How long does it take to charge a cell phone battery? Now think EVs?

Who’s going to make the batteries needed for all these thousands and thousands of EVs being mandated by President Biden? Not here in the US because we’re busy shutting down factories because they all use fossil fuels. So who do we turn to – China?

I asked myself “What is Climate Change” and this paragraph from NASA provides a very reasonable and down to earth definition:

What Is Climate Change? | NASA

https://www.nasa.gov/audience/forstudents/k-4/stories/nasa-knows/what-is-climate-change-k4.html

Climate change is a change in the usual weather found in a place. This could be a change in how much rain a place usually gets in a year. Or it could be a change in a place’s usual temperature for a month or season. Climate change is also a change in Earth’s climate. This could be a change in Earth’s usual temperature.

Next I wanted to know what are fossil fuels since our Democratic president and congress seem to be dead set on getting rid of them and this American Heritage Dictionary provides a very good definition:

Fossil Fuel

n.

A hydrocarbon-based fuel, such as petroleum, coal, or natural gas, derived from living matter of a previous geologic time.

n.

any fuel derived from hydrocarbon deposits such as coal, petroleum, natural gas and, to some extent, peat; these fuels are irreplaceable, and their burning generates the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide

n.

fuel consisting of the remains of organisms preserved in rocks in the earth’s crust with high carbon and hydrogen content.

(From The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition.)

So if fossil fuel is bad and causes climate change it only makes sense to get rid of them and do what we did before using fossil fuel. There are lots of ways fossil fuel is being used besides heating homes in certain areas and yes that produces air pollution and that is bad.

But however so is smoking right? Cigars and Cigarettes cause air pollution, lung cancer and lots of nasty problems within the human body. Why is nobody talking about banning Smoking EVERYWHERE AND ALL THE TIME? Because somebody invented Vaping! Vaping is one of those little eCigs that are the rage with kids and adults everywhere. It allows them to puff away without creating all that smoke, smell and causes no cancer to the lungs. There is a small drawback, vaping causes popcorn lung which causes the lung to sort of collapse within itself and makes it rather impossible to breath.

Let’s move on to something else that is directly related to fossil fuels, what kinds of products would we have to give up if we simply banned fossil fuels all together?

According to this US Energy Information Administration (EIA), this is a partial list of petroleum products and their share of total US petroleum consumption back in 2013.

Gasoline 46%

Heating Oil / Diesel Fuel 20%

Jet Fuel (kerosene) 8%

Propane / Propylene 7%

NGL / LRG 6%

Still Gas 4%

Petrochemical Feedstocks 2%

Petroleum Coke 2%

Residual / Heavy Fuel Oil 2%

Asphalt / Road Oil 2%

Lubricants 1%

Miscellaneous Products / Special Naphthas 0.4%

Other Liquids 1%

Aviation Gasoline 0.1%

Waxes 0.04%

Kerosene 0.02%

Of course these consumption rates have increased over time since then, don’t you think? Well I was thinking more about giving up fossil fuels and wind turbines and electric cars and stuff that operate on electricity would simply take up the slack as we phased out the petroleum product portions of fossil fuels. I found this partial list of products made from petroleum, but since inventors invent and consumers consume there seems to be that thing called supply and demand that overrides cutting back on many of the things we take for granted.

Here is a partial list of products made from petroleum?

Here is a quite large partial list of products made from petroleum. This list is constantly growing as new inventions are created. Here are some of the items which are made from petroleum.

So which ones are YOU willing to go without?

While there will be a number of industries that benefit from lower oil prices, it isn’t usually an immediate effect. It takes time for input prices to filter through the corporate supply chain and the economy.

Given the large drop in oil prices, this should give you some ideas about areas that could benefit from these lower prices. Investing in the oil sector may require some caution. My thought is to be careful of catching a falling knife on oil prices. There will eventually be some great bargains in the oil and gas energy sector, but patience is always a virtue. Look elsewhere to related industries. (2015)

I’ve come to the conclusion that the climate always has and always will change. That’s the way God created it. Man has made great strides to use the resources available to him, and the overriding factor that “The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil” (from the bible) holds true. Money may not literally make the world go round (God created it to spin on its axis), but money makes man better able to control others, buy expensive toys and even try to shame those who either can’t afford or choose not to indulge in all the bells and whistles that are being touted as something we all must have to exist. I don’t know how much Americans can take from radicals and liberals on either wing because like it or not it’s all the same bird. One last thought before I close – It’s hard to soar with eagles when you surround yourself with turkeys! – I am the Real Truckmaster!
