Loading ...Sorry to hear you got laid off. A lot of exploration folks are being laid off here. Seems most of the people in production and transportation are still hanging on. I talked to an independent geologist today. He is in his mid 60’s and said everyone who qualified was in forced retirement.

“I’m not covered from damage sustained as a result of a nuclear reaction. “
LOL! Even if you were, it might be a little hard to collect after the bomb goes off!
this article argues that deficits and the federal debt are two separate items. So he’s great.
Is he right about the deficit dropping by two-thirds?
What the White House says
As a reminder, don’t get the deficit twisted with the debt. They are only related, not the same.
The country’s annual deficit is the difference between what the government collects in revenues and spends in one year. The national debt, which exceeds $18 trillion, is the net of annual deficits minus any annual surpluses.
To back up his claim, Obama is comparing his first budget year in office — 2009 — to 2014.
The White House is breaking down the deficit as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product, or GDP, and not actual dollars. Economists told us this is a valid way of analyzing the deficit, because it factors in the economy’s change over time. The White House sent us this chart, which relies on data from the White House Office of Management and Budget. Read more here
I don’t care what they call it….$18T in debt and $125T in unfunded liabilities. Obama: Look I saved the world! I think it’s deceit.
Syria Ground War Imminent? U.S. Accuses Russia Of Launching Syrian Land Campaign
Exactly. Without the Boogeymen Russians then how are they going to keep the Muppets in line? They can’t cooperate with them even when it makes sense. Without this distraction the Muppets might really take a look at how screwed up our system is.
Just got my home insurance policy today. Says I’m not covered from damage sustained as a result of a nuclear reaction. Darn it! 
The wages of the massive USA tax PAYER middle class (1945 to 1975) have been falling below the inflation rate since 1975. That is what has been dragging the whole global economy down. When American consumers “threw up” in 2008, all other nations were topped off.

“while Obummer does”
See’s the error of his ways? Coordinates with the Russians and Chinese to eradicate ISIS?
Dreaming I know.
Russia has effectively put a no fly zone over Syria and Chinese planes are soon gonna be pounding ISIS…while Obummer does ??????
Good story. The comments are worth a chuckle.
On the parties coalition although not as good as his.
I think they’re are just a bunch of push overs who are taking the path if least resistance like the Emperor with no cloths. Wanting to hold on to their own position of power by going along with the perceived a strongest power. Situations change but not human nature.
Because of this human nature of group think that initially might not even be group think..with each thinking its group think.. The situation can change and human nature being what it is it wouldn’t be too hard to see the situation could change to following another perceived power which then will dethrone another. We can see this going on right now with this push over ” coalition” we have here following the loser aka leader Obama over the cliff allowing another perceived power to come into play they will follow next. So if it were planned it’s got to be a brain stupid plan or the lazy mans way out, Their plan appears to just be a loser pretending to know what their doing and have no plan and why nothing ever gets solved or resolved. It’s in reality a bunch of stupid people following other stupid people who will then start following the next perceived leader like Russia or next great idea that comes up brain dead or not.
If it wasn’t such a devastating catastrophe to so many to pure evil, lying manipulating or even intent on their part for profit or position it would almost be funny. That’s what coalition is these days, follow the leader.
More on climate change and as we know so they can fleece the public for more money they’ll just spend anyways like we’re their ATM machines every time they blow the money which is all the time, then ask for more before they even paid back what they already took like a revolving door. They’re no even honest about it, they think they can just lie and manipulate and hopefully brainwash people into it. Then if that don’t work they’ll make up some law to get it. Low life thugs need to be stopped as well as called on their BS without their lying cheat sheet in hand.
to stop that rouge traitor in office. Now changed to constitutional patriot. Here’s some recient quotes I told him I want to share
Can I get at least one conservative and one liberal who can give honest answers to simple questions?
For instance; a coalition is defined as unrelated groups uniting for the purpose of achieving a common goal. Question 1: Why are conservatives & liberals joined in a dangerous coalition to keep the power of gov’t between 2 old parties who aren’t serving either side well?
2. Why is it the conservative/liberal coalition prefers gov’t of all powerful parties instead of We the People demanding representation by consent of the governed?
3. With the world watching, Putin Iran and others are humiliating the US in Syria and other nations. Why does the conservstive/liberal coalition accept this and show tacit approval while the whole world is watching our status crumble?
4. While we all know our gov’t is for sale to big donors why does the conservative/liberal coalition ignore this and support the parties who manage the web of donors who sell us out?
5. Since America became the greatest nation of all time due to our Constitution, Bill of Rights and freedoms to dominate our own officials why does everyone in the conservative/liberal coalition lay down like whipped pansies and let officials defy our laws and Constitution while still backing the parties that help these jerks destroy our nation for the gain of themselves and their cronies?
Will anyone from the coalition stand up and explain anything about what they are doing?
If not, will they admit they are surrendering?
The Mideat is a disaster.
A lot of diplomats, former ambassadors etc being interviewed about the Russia/Syria/Iran mess.
How about a few interviews with those idiots who gave Obama a Nobel Peace Prize right after he got the job and before he’d done anything more than sending the Churchill bust back to England?
Let’s hear those fools explain themselves now.
Hang in there guy. You are smart use that to your advantage and don’t wait for unemployment to run out like some cuz they would make less because one opportunity can lead to another. Cream always rises back to the top.
and my Terrorist are killing OUR Terrorists …

I am amazed how many of my patients have left their families to work in the oil patch
I am also amazed at how many Alberta plates are cruising around town this summer

Majority of EU nations seek opt-out from growing GM crops
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – Nineteen EU member states have requested opt-outs for all or part of their territory from cultivation of a Monsanto genetically-modified crop, which is authorized to be grown in the European Union, the European Commission said on Sunday.
Under a law signed in March, individual countries can seek exclusion from any approval request for genetically modified cultivation across the 28-nation EU.
The law was introduced to end years of stalemate as genetically modified crops divide opinion in Europe.
Although widely grown in the Americas and Asia, public opposition is strong in Europe and environmentalists have raised concerns about the impact on biodiversity.
Commission spokesman Enrico Brivio on Sunday confirmed in an emailed statement the Commission had received 19 opt-out requests following the expiry of a deadline on Saturday.
