US Drill Rigs Running Up from Prior Week
There were 323 drill rigs running in the US last week, up three from the prior week, down 476 rigs from one year ago. Canadian drillers remained the same at 102, down 36 rigs from one year ago.
US Raw Steel Production Up
In the week ending December 5, 2020 US raw steel production was 1,579,000 net tons at an ACUR of 71.4 percent, up 1.2 percent from the prior weeks production. One year ago, our ACUR was 78.6 percent.
Pearl Harbor Day
Monday December 7, 1941 “a day that will live in infamy.” It has been 79 years since the Japanese brutally attacked our military at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii and took us into war with Japan. Never forget.
RIP General Yeager
Also on this Monday, we lost an American hero, Air Force General Chuck Yeager. He was the first man to break the sound barrier in his X-1 rocket plane-named “Glamorous Glennis” after his first wife, in October 1947. He was a hero to me as a young boy, his adventures in the skies leading myself and many others to look to the heavens and the possibilities which lay ahead. Brass balls. RIP General Yeager.
Winds of Change
I am very nervous; every patriotic American should be nervous. Why? I believe the forces of evil are about to destroy our Republic. After 246 years of freedom and justice for all it is about to be taken away. Make no mistake, the presidency has been stolen from the American people through an abundance of fraud perpetrated on our electoral system. There is just too much evidence to neglect and it is quite easy to see that complicity in the fraud is government wide.
We know the Democrats cheat; it is the only way they get what they want. The spineless Republicans, for fear of leftist reprisal, will not stand up to the crimes of which they are also guilty. 99% of the Republicans are in the swamp, they do not want their party to end. They steal from you and I with no consequence other than to fatten their wallets. Why would they want to support President Trump? He is a threat to their lavish lifestyles.
As I told you before, he was the dam that held back all the evil intentions of the communist threat. Another four years of a Trump administration would have done much to end the bull shit that is all around us. Are you paying attention to the cabinet the idiot Biden is appointing? A collection of incompetent leftists and communists. I am forced to shake my head in disbelief with every appointment he makes.
Should they achieve control of the senate in January, our lives will be permanently changed, and NOT for the better. Furthermore, if that happens, Americans will be forced to either fight back to retain the freedoms earned and protected by the blood sacrifices of our forebears. Trump’s fight is not yet over, he fights for America and what she has stood for through 2 1/2 centuries, he fights for you and me, for our children, our grandchildren. He fights for all that is right and good.
Our country is not perfect, but it is the best country on the planet earth. Our people and all people in peace loving countries do not seem to comprehend what the consequences of this will be, short term and long term. God will have to intervene if we are to be saved. The same way he did when He put Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Hamilton and others together to form our nation. The way He put Roosevelt, Churchill, Eisenhower and our unmatched military together to defeat fascism and the Nazi war machine.
Stimulus Delays
As the American people and American small businesses suffer, the Democrats in Congress refuse to pass a stimulus package to help them. Why? They are demanding billions of dollars to bail out poorly run Democrat controlled cities and states. Recall that our president offered $1.8 trillion to them earlier in negotiations and was rebuffed. The assholes wanted over $3 trillion (that is 3000 BILLIONS!). Ridiculous. Why is it the responsibility of the American taxpayer to bail out the incompetent crooks in Democrat controlled cities and states? We are not. Money for me, not for thee.
They also refuse to allow changes to Sec. 230 which protects the tech giants from prosecution. Why? The tech giants are huge donors to the Democrat party. The people suffer again for their political greed and corruption. Money for me, not for thee.
I have been wondering, since the liberal media refuses to cover the story (imagine that), where is Hunter Biden? It has come to light that he is being investigated for possible tax evasion related to the millions of dollars he and “The Big Man” have received from foreign governments, notably, China and Ukraine. The hard drive from the laptop the idiot son left at the repair shop is also being looked at…finally.
The moron, Eric Swalwell has been busted for consorting with a Chinese spy, and he is on the Intelligence Committee!!! Can’t keep his penis in his pants but was very vocal in accusing the president of being a Russian asset. His response is to whine that the information has been weaponized against him. That is horse shit, of course. Once again, everything the left accuses conservatives of doing is exactly what they are doing. If it weren’t so sad, it would be laughable.
Friday, Andrew Cuomo, the idiot dictator of New York closed all inside dining in New York City restaurants, effective Monday. Exactly who is going to care for the business owners and their employees who will be severely impacted by this stupid move? You can bet it will not affect little Benito or his moron brother, Chris and their families. It is time to resist. Protest. Do not comply.
This is communism at work, a direct attempt to control the will and freedom of the people of New York. Wake up people!
As an American citizen, how do you want our country to move forward for you and your family:
SECURE BORDERS? OPEN BORDERS?
MORE GOVERNMENT? LESS GOVERNMENT?
A STRONG MILITARY? A WEAK MILITARY?
LESS TAXATION? MORE TAXATION?
LESS GOVERNMENT REGULATION? MORE GOVERNMENT REGULATION?
FAIR TRADE AGREEMENTS? QUID PRO QUO TRADE AGREEMENTS?
PROPER CARE FOR OUR VETERANS? DON’T CARE FOR OUR VETERANS?
MERIT BASED IMMIGRATION? THE SHIT WE HAVE NOW?
RESPONSIBLE HELP FOR THE POOR? THROW MONEY AT THE PROBLEM?
TEACH AMERICAN HISTORY TO OUR CHILDREN? ERASE AMERICAN HISTORY?
RESPECT OUR FLAG? DON’T GIVE A SHIT?
SAY THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE IN SCHOOL? WHAT IS THAT?
Infrastructure X (Keystone & Dakota pipelines) Regulation Reform XX 1 in 2 out

I will track these campaign promises and will check them off as each is accomplished adding those I have missed as they become apparent. This is quite an agenda and will be difficult to achieve all in one term, but I believe the American people are behind him and know these things need to be done. Now, if he can get our legislators to support him instead of fighting him….

TEDDY ROOSEVELT ON IMMIGRANTS IN AMERICA…1907
In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American and nothing but an American. There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag…We have room for but one language here and that is the English language…and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”
