What the right gets wrong

Instead of congratulating Trump, the CEOs of the oil corporations politely rejected the invitation to resume drilling in Venezuela.

Why is the US job market staggering despite economic boom?

The slow growth of the US job market is inconsistent with strong economic growth and well short of the hiring boom of just a couple of years ago.


Making America great again means starving some people.  Cull the herd.  Purge America of useless eaters.

Trump blatantly lies and cooks the books claiming America drowns in prosperity.  The truth is that America is in deep trouble, and Trump is the biggest useless eater of them all.  And this deranged non compos mentis fool does not have any idea at all how the world actually works.  If he ever had a clue, he does not now.  I do not think he ever had a clue.  The bombastic ignore clues.  Bombast obscures insight.  Bombast defines Trump.

Facts don't require belief, but they do need to be present.  There are no facts here, only your CLAIM that you solved Peak Oil.

The only thing I found on your link to PeakOil.com related to Peak Oil was a link to an article on OilPice.com by David Messler titled Why the IEA is Wrong About Peak Oil Demand.  A pretty good review of the estimates from the IEA and OPEC and the continuing dependence on oil to maintain and grow GDP.  Sadly, it doesn't provide a solution to Peak Oil.

Feel free to keep pimping yourself and blowing your own horn, although when you make claims like you solved Peak Oil you need to be able to back it up or you'll spend some time in the cooler contemplating your personality deficiencies.

Exclusive: ICE Masks Up in More Ways Than One

Feds could be in your group chat.




What could possibly go wrong?

Agent Dan Crockett sat in an unmarked Ford Explorer outside the Alvarez house. On his laptop, Silo displayed Valeria Alvarez's Instagram. Valeria is twenty-three. Her bio said "dental assistant." Her posts showed a niece. Another window showed an appointment reminder for her DACA renewal scheduled for next Thursday.

Valeria had been brought from Chihuahua at age two by her parents. She had DACA. This mattered less than it used to.

Before joining ICE, Crockett had marched in Charlottesville. He carried a Proud Boys coin in his pocket.

Crockett was now assigned to Digital Community Engagement. Silo let him appear as a local user anywhere he wished to be. Crockett had requested to follow Valeria's private Instagram three weeks ago. She approved. He knew her schedule, her friends, her fears about her mother's diabetes. This was "masked engagement." No warrant required.

March 3, 2026. 6:47 a.m. Valeria Alvarez stopped at Mesa and Doniphan. Crockett hit his lights. She pulled over immediately.  Her hands visible on the wheel. Her DACA was current. Her paperwork was all in order. She had never received so much as a traffic ticket. She should have no reason to fear, but fear gripped her.

"Step out."

She did. She asked why she was pulled over.

"Your status is under review," said Crockett. "You're coming with us."

She was locked into the back seat of a car which had the interior door handles removed. The drive to the El Paso sector station took twenty-two minutes. A few minutes later she was in an interview room. Crockett closed the door. He hung his vest on a chair.

"Stand up."

She stood.

"Turn around."

She turned. She was crying. She asked what was happening.

Crockett said nothing. He removed his belt. He placed his sidearm on the table, within her reach, within his reach.

What happened next took four minutes and was not captured on the unplugged camera.

She said no. She said stop. Crockett told her to shut up. When he finished, he pulled up his trousers and told her to fix her skirt.

He opened the door. Outside the door a transport officer waited.

"She's ready for removal."

Valeria Alvarez had lived in the U.S. for twenty-one years. This did not matter. No one gave her the opportunity to produce documents. No one asked her how long she had lived here. Crockett and his fellow agents did not care.

She was transported to the El Paso Port of Entry at 9:22 a.m. She told the secondary officer she had been assaulted. The officer, a twenty-year veteran, ignored her. Valeria was placed on a van to Ciudad Juárez at 11:05 a.m.

She did not know who had raped her. She only knew his face.

Crockett logged his activity in Silo at 11:47 a.m.

Subject: Alvarez, Valeria.
Status: Removed.
Intelligence yield: Negative.
Engagement type: Masked (alias Marcus Vance).

The system accepted the entry and all evidence of Marcus Vance was erased.

Valeria Alvarez stood at the Paso del Norte bridge holding her empty purse. Her phone and car keys were gone. In a few hours her life for the past twenty-one years had been erased.

Quote from: RE on Today at 04:12 AMYes, of course.  Your world shattering "solution" to one of the most vexing problems facing humanity remains hidden on some TOP SECRET, air-gapped computer 40 floors below ground in a safe with 3 meter thick depleted uranium walls available only to a select few corporate executives protected from search engine spiders.

Nope. It went into action,and core components of it were used for years, I was occasionally asked to consult. I think the project was finally shut down a year or so ago. Ran on local servers, in Python, I've got a copy of my work leftover from the development days.

Talking to you about me made me go check my backups to see if I still have it. I could probably ask permission to publish, but peak oil happened like in 2018 and no one even talks about it anymore. Plus it work better with an integrated socio-economic engine, as opposed to just generating probability answers based on custom scenarios.

Quote from: REIf there REALLY was a solution to Peak Oil, it would be published in a major peer reviewed journal and picked up afterward by Scientific American for popular reading.

Been there. Done that. Not this work. I only wrote up a single result, it is in the public eye, but it wasn't oriented on peak oil at all. Once integrated within a larger ecoonomic context it was great for full socio-economic scenarios, regional or global, but no one gave a shit about the peak oil potential except me. I ran so many scenarios through the thing I can't even remember them all now.

Quote from: REIt would be subject to at least SOME discussion and review on the Peak Oil discussion forums.

Sure. This one. The others are dead except for peakoil.com

Quote from: REWhen some anonymous Troll on a nearly invisible website claims he solved Peak Oil, why on earth would anyone believe him? 🙄

Facts don't require your belief. They just are. You are free to discount every word I say, as you always have. Previously when I mentioned Sun Tzu, you missed the point I was making entirely. I want you to just keep right on being comfortable with what you think you know. In your absolute certainty in yourself is my anonymity. 

Quote from: K-Dog on Feb 11, 2026, 08:37 PMDid she make America great again 🍑🍆  ?

Nope. But when my model was integrated with others, it was interesting to learn and watch. Plus the gig paid well.

The House just gave a controversial nod, so now, 21 million Americans could lose their rights

The House of Representatives passed a major new law called the Save America Act. This new legislation would make big changes to how Americans vote.


The Constitution gives states the power to decide voter qualifications. Congress can only regulate when and where we vote, and polling place rules.  The SAVE Act doesn't just set rules.  It creates a nationwide citizenship requirement that states cannot change or adjust. That's not regulating an election.  The SAVE Act takes power away from states that is given by the Constitution.  Power which congress does not have.

House Passes Very Restrictive GOP-Led Voter ID Bill: What To Know About SAVE America Act

The House of Representatives has passed a proposal that would make it harder for tens of millions of Americans to vote by enacting strict and sometimes cumbersome voter ID requirements.


So, Republicans will ruin the nation by throwing the midterms into a legal turmoil that will result in mass mayhem as the iron heel of white supremacy comes down.

Top US prosecutor appointed to New York Albany office by judges is immediately ousted

A lawyer appointed by judges to be the U.S. attorney for northern New York was immediately fired by the Justice Department in the latest clash between the Trump administration and the judiciary over the process for selecting top federal prosecutors.

Reading comments below this article and you will find :

How can anyone really believe that picking judges belongs to the president. FYI : The President has the power to nominate.

The Senate has the power to confirm (provide "advice and consent").

The Judge has the job for life ("during good behaviour"), free from executive control once seated.

And obviously an interim judge picked by other judges should fill a vacant position. Trump should not have been able to fire, he could have nominated someone else and had the Senate confirm his choice. This firing is a high crime and misdemeanor. But unfortunately American Republicans worship fascism and forget what their fathers died for. So nothing will happen.

Climate leaders condemn Trump EPA's biggest rollback yet: 'This is corruption'

"This is corruption, plain and simple. Old-fashioned, dirty political corruption," said Sheldon Whitehouse, senator for Rhode Island, at the rally. "This is an agency that has been so infiltrated by the corrupt fossil fuel industry that it has turned an agency of government into the weapon of the fossil fuel polluters."
