What happened to the caravan after the midterm elections?

No. All Communists and dictators need wals. Trump is a wanna-be dictator but we're not going to let that happen in America. The resistance is strong and getting stronger. Trump will fall HARD and then do HARD time.

There is a wall around Heaven so do you want to live behind a wall or not? Actually, privately Mexicans would like a wall as AMLO has surprisingly declared war on the cartels and a wall would cut off their access to guns and money.

I am sure that you and Maxine will impeach Trump for being Republican. Maxine is low IQ.

That's the problem with nuclear power. We don't have a good way of dealing with the nuclear waste.
I still think that MOX could be a solution (at least dealing with what we already have accumulated). I know it's expensive, but it produces something where as now the expense is wasted on temporary storage solutions that have to be repeated at least every 50 years.

I think that you have been cooped up in your gated community listening to Soros and eating pancakes with Babs Streisand and you went bonkers from all the syrup, which makes you sound like just another one percenter.

Where is President Trump being a dictator? Every time he wants to do something he says the Congress needs to pass the particular legislation and he would then sign it into law. He makes policy with the Executive powers that he has under the Constitution. All this is quite unlike the Bamster who said: "If Congress won't act, I will", and who routinely tried to use authority he did not have.

Natural gas is a good intermediate solution for the U.S. actually fracking is used with shale oil. natural gas is a by-product. Solar is cheaper now than coal as is wind energy without the negative effects on the environment. The 5 biggest coal companies in the U.S. including the largest Peabody Coal have declared bankruptcy because there's not much of a market for coal anymore. Once again, Trump doesn't understand the science behind today's energy trade-offs.

Solar might be getting cheaper, but it just cannot fulfill the power demands that we need. Face it, here are not many solar powered airliners flying about these days. The only reason the coal companies are declaring bankruptcy is due to the anti-coal policies of your "Dear Leader" Obama. Left alone, the coal companies would still be going strong.

Wind energy while clean does indeed have effects on the environment. Do you realize that many birds are killed by those huge blades whirling around? Plus they are unsightly, as the Kennedys certainly did not want them offshore near their playground on Cape Cod for that very reason.

Read some time ago that wind generators in Europe are nearing end of life and they have no idea what to do with all the waste they are going to generate.

No. I avoid those dangerous areas. First you have people trying to get into the country illegally. That's just illegal. And then you have all those Texans. And they carry guns. If all of the material we have stored for the MOX project can be stored safely I'm confident we can create a very small leak towards the south side of the wall that won't extend past the Rio Grande.
I( don't support the widespread ownership of guns in the U.S. either.

They do go over the existing roof, but I was thinking maybe they would help protect the actual roof from weather (making it last longer). I have not checked into the cost, but have considered having them installed.

Here's something I found out that was pretty cool (I live in North Augusta SC). There are several civil war mills by the Augusta canal. One houses several businesses and apartments (and a museum). It makes its own power, of course, via the canal.

The interesting part is the US Government cyber security program uses the oldest factory to house its servers. It also generates it's own power so it is off the local grid unless really needed. I found it interesting because this is such an old building where new technology is directly dependent on old.

You might be interested in this picture. This is the 170 year old Baptist Church I attended when I lived in NJ. They have installed solar panels. NJ is definitely not as good as Atlanta for solar energy but they proved them in and my current church did not include them as a part of a current building program. FBC-RB Solar Panels.jpg

The Bible does not describe exactly what Heaven will be like. It will be more magnificent than we can imagine.

President Obama exercised the same presidential right that Trump has except Trump has signed far more.

How many executive orders has President Trump signed?
Updated Jul 30, 2018; Posted Jul 30, 2018
President Trump has signed 77 executive orders since taking office in 2017, according to tracking provided by the American Presidency Project.

Trump signed 63 executive orders from January 2017 through March 20, 2018 and an additional 14 from March 21 through June 20, the tracker shows. The executive orders cover everything from improving mental health treatment for veterans to stopping the practice of separating immigrant parents and children at the U.S. border.

Executive orders are official legally binding mandates from the president. Executive memoranda are essentially the same, except they do not have an established process on how they are issued. Proclamations are another form of executive action and usually are for ceremonial purposes that don't carry any legal effect.

As with all presidents, many of the executive actions deal with relatively mundane tasks, such as establishing tasks forces and proclamations that recognize holidays or special events.

Trump has signed roughly 4.27 executive orders in each month of his presidency through June. His predecessor, Barack Obama, signed 276 executive orders in his eight years in office, or roughly 2.9 per month. George W. Bush signed 291 orders, or slightly more than 3 per month during his two terms in office.

How many birds are killed by wind turbines versus the air pollution that is getting worse because Republicans are tearing down environmental protection laws?

I'm still curious. As far as I go....I have two handguns (one semi-automatic and one revolver) for the range, a .22 rifle, a 270 rifle, and two 12 gauge shotguns (looking for a semi-automatic 12 gauge now).

Do you think that too many? Which ones do you think I should not own and why?

Do you, as a Christian, think guns are the solution? This is a matter of faith for me. I put my faith in the Lord not guns.

The solution for what?

Again, my list of guns - a semi-automatic pistol, a revolver, a pump shotgun, a double barrel shotgun, a .22 semi-automatic rifle, and a 270 semi-automatic rifle. I am planning on picking up a semi-automatic shotgun.

Which ones should I not be able to own? Which ones do you believe a Christian should not own? Why?

I went hunting with the rifles (now I go to the range).
I enjoy going to the indoor range down the road with my wife....that is what I use the pistols for.

The pump shotgun was originally for Turkey hunting. My son used it when he first joined the High School skeet team. Then he got a double barrel but we are looking at a semi-automatic Remington. He is not as fond of the double barrel as he thought and the pump is one more movement.

How is this putting faith in guns?????
