Thanks!

for most of this year, our refinery oil consumption has exceeded our apparent supply of oil from all sources by an average of around a million barrels per day, resulting in a large "unaccounted for oil" entry on the US petroleum balance sheet, as i explain in my second paragraph here...while i allude to that problem with the data cynically, it suggests either that the EIA has suddenly lost the ability to keep track of our oil supplies, or that something else is going on...

Well, it's kinda obvious

There can be some who make 100K+ with no worry, but the more you make the more pressure you choose on.

Why does Mr. Gemma not mention what each of these groups did to merit being identified as hate groups?

FRC and DJKM were both labeled for disseminating pseudoscience as proof that gay people are an unnatural abomination and collaborating to perpetuate conditions that made it acceptable to persecute them. Both groups lobbied for an anti-lgbt agenda. It also bears mentioning that federal magistrate judge recommended DJKM's libel suit be dismissed "with prejudice" because it was baseless.

Joseph Farah promoted conspiracy theories including the Birther conspiracy about former U.S. President Obama, even claiming that his long form birth certificate was a forgery.

Dinesh D’Souza wrote a book on how Leftists and liberals were Nazis, supported torture at Abu Ghraib, mocked victims of the Stoneman Douglas School shooting, and publicly opposed policies intended to ameliorate the pernicious effects of racism and poverty on people of color.

Jeff Sessions has on numerous occasions been openly racist. He has spent his career supporting both in word and in policy the right to discriminate against LGBT people, and was instrumental in implementing the Trump Presidency's immigration policy.

It's perfectly reasonable and even proper to criticize misuse of funds by SPLC. However, this article disingenuously characterizes these people as victims rather than people deserving the label they received, considering the harm they've done. Peter Gemma attempts to clumsily poison the well and obfuscate the misdeeds of these individuals and groups. The SPLC is a flawed organization which successfully identified people and organizations promoting hate against marginalized groups, based on substantial evidence verifiable by anyone who can manage a google search.

Shame on you, Mr. Gemma.

Why are you blaming the immigrants when it’s the rich Americans who are preying on them. In reality there is enough jobs for everyone but they are the ones offering half the pay and hiring people from Mexico, instead of the grad students who have 150 k debt. 6.5 interest in their loans while in school. Their rents are three times what their parents were, and so is their rent. And it’s the same rich Americans and these students parents who vote for presidents who abuse the starving students and graduates and treat them as a profit.

With soaring deficits, the economy should be growing like a bat out of hell. After all, we'll never be able to pay back a penny of the debt. The real question is how much debt is too much debt and why does it take so much debt to create the illusion of growth?

We have a crisis in this country - corporate layoffs. Or “economic genocide” is how I think of it. Year after year after year thousands if not millions of men and women get stripped of their livelihoods through no fault of their own. Their means of survival - putting food on their tables, clothes on their backs and roofs over their heads - taken with little or no warning. And where does that money go instead? It further lines the already overstuffed pockets of the fat cats at the top of the corporate hierarchy for whom no amount of millions is ever too much.

This insanity has to stop!!!

How is this all possible considering.
