I know that everything in my first paragraph was incorrect. It was a list of all of the ridiculous things I've heard throughout my life in regards to climate change that never materialized. I find it interesting that you have "correct" temperature data going back a thousand years considering...

Back when I was young, they predicted that coastal cities like NYC & Miami would be under water by the year 2000. Then they changed the terminology from global warming to climate change because the average temperature didn't change much for about a decade. Then Al Gore and others predicted the...

If you're going to rip him when he lies, why not give him some props when he's honest. ;)

Things went about as expected. There wasn't really a blue wave or a red wall. The story of the night was the Democrats taking control of the house. The Republicans came away with some key victories as well. They've gained 2 seats in the senate, and they're set to gain 2 more if their leads hold...

https://www.thebalance.com/deficit-by-president-what-budget-deficits-hide-3306151 Take a look at year by year deficit by president. The final deficit Bush left Obama ballooned to over a trillion dollars in an attempt to curb the financial crisis, but he had an average deficit of about $300...

Sorry if I was unclear. The depression started in 1929 and ended in 1939. The financial crisis started in 2007 and ended in 2009. I compared the 5 years following the end of the depression (1940-1944) to the 5 years following the financial crisis (2010-2014).

It's very true that every president inherits a unique situation. Obama had a huge mess to fix when he became president. He did what he needed to fix it, and the deficit expanded significantly. Towards the end of his presidency, the deficit dropped off. Trump inherited a much better economy. But...

The financial crisis ended in 2009. Over the next 5 years we averaged 2.14% GDP growth. The great depression ended in 1939. Over the next 5 years we averaged 14.08% GDP growth. Of course it isn't really fair to compare the two situations due to the fact that the post depression recovery was...

Obama's first budget resulted in a $1.547 trillion deficit. His second budget resulted in a $1.3 trillion deficit. His third budget resulted in a $1.087 trillion deficit. His fourth budget resulted in a $679 billion deficit. The average budget deficit under Obama during his first term: $1.15...

I always worry about the deficit and the national debt regardless of who's in the oval office, but I'm excited about the fact that we're about to hit 3% GDP growth on the year for the first time in over a decade. I'm glad that 2% GDP isn't the new norm. Obama was the only president in the...

I know that executive orders can easily be repealed. I'm just not a big fan of using them to superficially pass legislation regardless of who's in the white house. DACA wouldn't exist if congress would've done their job. They should've tackled immigration reform a long time ago.

https://www.numbersusa.com/content/learn/issues/birthright-citizenship/nations-granting-birthright-citizenship.html Birthright citizenship is fairly unique. It looks like only 30 of the world's 195 countries have it. The US and Canada are the only developed nations that have it. The UK, Ireland...

People are offended by way too many things in this world. But I agree with the concept that you shouldn't use dark makeup for a costume because it's been a show of blatant racism in the past. I don't agree with Megyn Kelly's comments. I was surprised that she was fired after she apologized. That...

Yeah..... That's enough internet for today. :(
