Got your attention, didn't it :biggrin:?

No big, it's the House, you know, the useless Dim Congress screaming "Notice Us"!!!

The House approved legislation Wednesday that would permanently bar drilling off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and extend a moratorium on drilling off Florida's west coast.

Coastal lawmakers from both parties said the bills would protect U.S. coasts from drilling that can pollute crucial waters — and lead to disasters such as the 2010 BP spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

Opponents, mostly Republicans, said the bills undercut domestic energy security and limit thousands of job opportunities.

Lawmakers approved the Atlantic and Pacific measure 238-189, while the bill to block drilling in the Gulf of Mexico near Florida was approved 248-180. The bills head to the Republican-controlled Senate, where action is unlikely.

We don't need oil! I will be perfectly confident flying to London in an Airbus A 380 powered by sunlight.

Of course. No one will be allowed to check-in baggage because the baggage compartment is filled with 9 million batteries.

While they are at it why not pass a law that all liberals pay $6 a gallon for gas? That should get them that warm fuzzy feeling that they are saving mother earth, and the rest of us can get on with our lives.

Why not 25$ a gal.  Lets see if they really care.

How stupid are these people? Why don't they just pass a law banning the sun from making the earth go above (insert nominal temp here) and end what they claim is global warming?
It's as if they think they have the power to effect gravity. Do they issue every Dim a pair of magical Ruby Red Slippers when they enter office?

You have to feel sorry for the Dems. They are searching for an issue but:

The economy is great. Inflation is low, Unemployment is ai record lows.

Minorities are getting jobs at a faster rate than whites. Wages are finally climbing again.

We are in zero major military conflicts after Trump beat back ISIS.

Illegal Immigration is being reduced and our borders are being better protected.

The GOP owns the fight on ending drug abuse.

They are losing their ability to kill babies at will.

The Democrats war on Christianity is in retreat in a Christian nation.

Political Correctness is being attacked


All they have is:

A fake Man Made Global Warming scam.

Tax increases and wealth taxes to drive wealth out of the USA.

Proposed tens of trillions in deficit spending that gives them no ability to attack current deficit spending, which is the one issue they could actually get traction on.

Shut down those nasty manufacturers and take away jobs.

Taking away health care that 85% of Americans like for the 15% of voters they most likely already had at the  bottom of the income scale.

And kills steers but forced dating of queers.

Trump will probably remind them, but will the RNC followup with support. The democrats keep handing the GOP winning cards.

We need every seat to have bicycle peddles so the passengers can power the plane free of fossil fuels.

We will need to  check party affiliation before they board and block Democrats. We know they will be riding in the back with their feet up, if we let them on.

Just to be safe, you should probably fill that compartment with a 3500 mile extension cord.   :lol:
