We’re gonna need some serious investment to get nuclear back up to speed. Renewables were also prohibitively expensive when they first got started but over the last few decades the price dropped. Nuclear hasn’t had the benefit of such developments due to active public opposition and lack of funding from governments and major corporations.

Nuclear is safer than ever and the advent of SMRs will make nuclear technology even more accessible, perhaps even allowing permanent human habitation in space. Modern nuclear is already a game changer in terms on power generation vs environmental impact, MSRs and thorium even more, and fusion would be the ultimate game changer, ensuring generations of clean energy without worry.

As for the “muh waste!” Crowd who constantly preache science I think we need to teach them some real nuclear science. Let’s start with how radiation works. When an object is radioactive it essentially means that it’s falling apart. Pieces are breaking off as energy or just as energetic particles depending on the type of radiation. The radiation emitted by uranium and nuclear waste is gamma radiation, which is a type of photonic radiation where the atom is falling apart and emitting gamma rays. An object that is extremely radioactive doesn’t tend to stick around or remain radioactive for long, simply due to that whole “falling apart” thing. Californium for example is highly radioactive but barely able to exist in our world before it decays.

Nuclear waste is often claimed to be “dangerous for hundreds of thousands of years” due to its long half life. Truth is though that within 4-7 decades most nuclear waste is only 1% as radioactive as it was at the beginning of its life, and that number continues to drop. I can’t remember the exact percent but something like 75% of existing nuclear waste is no longer extremely deadly. Modern tech reduces the waste issue even more. The rest of the half life is just kind of how long the object physically exists, it says nothing about radioactivity. Objects that survive for long typically aren’t extremely radioactive. Take a look at iron, that stuff will be around until the heat death and it’s so not radioactive it’s literally an essential mineral for humans.

Tl;dr: Nuclear power good, price issues not insurmountable, waste not an issue doesn’t last as long as you’ve been told, the end.

The liberals claim to hate fossil fuels and the oil barons but they’ve found themselves deceived by a multi-decade anti-nuclear propaganda scheme. Just as much as they blame the baby boomers, the millennials with their refusal to embrace nuclear and break free of the fossil fuel industry’s propaganda are just as responsible. They have no right to blame anyone else for climate change until they embrace nuclear

Just got the news from the RT app(don’t hate me) now! Looks like I’m early.

This means that Trump is free to run in 2024, although I fear that they’ll now try to get him on something else. They’ve been building up that BS New York case for the last 4 years and I wouldn’t be surprised if they tried to throw him in a cell and throw away the key. Assuming Trump repels these hostile attempts though he should have no trouble at all either securing the GOP nomination or perhaps starting his own party.

One more fear I have is that by 2024 Biden’s fraud will be too entrenched. They threw everything they had at stealing the election and it worked. This was whole Trump was in power. I just don’t know if it’ll actually be possible to overcome the fraud unless at least 100 million+ Americans come out to vote in force and that might not be enough if they manage to freeze the count long enough to print more ballots. It’ll be a hell of a fight.

Good luck Trump.

For the majority of his term Trump was severely handicapped by a hostile congress and contrary to popular belief executive orders aren’t allow Presidents to circumvent congress and pass their own laws.

The CCP is craft and dangerous. They are the greatest threat America has ever faced surpassing even the Soviet Union. The Soviets were dirty commies but they weren’t suicidal and they were more reasonable than China. The US and USSR could still sit down and talk like reasonable adult nations. Nuclear war was averted many times because of this. The Soviets weren’t stupid enough to hit the big red button either.

China on the other hand has a death wish. When it comes to diplomacy they’re a toddler throwing a tantrum whenever they don’t get what they want while making unreasonable demands all the time. At the same time they’re also equipped with dangerous toys like a small nuclear arsenal of their own. The Chinese can’t be trusted to be reasonable enough not to drop the bomb or to start WW3. China is a toddler with access to a nuclear arsenal

Teachers unions are always the worst. They always do everything in their power to shut down the schools they teach in while demanding more and more of everything. And when something goes even slightly wrong for them they shut down schools for weeks with strikes. Here in Canada it’a a yearly tradition. Teachers strike claiming they aren’t paid enough, the government gives them everything they want, they go home. Next year they’re back at it. Happens every time regardless of party in charge or actual government actions taken.

Fuck the teachers unions

Mail in voting for everyone except members of the military is one of the biggest mistakes in recent American history.

And people say “oh but I live so far from the nearest polling station!!!”. Too bad. It’s literally one day and you have an entire year to prepare for it. Take a day off and enjoy a nice long drive you lazy sod

I still can’t get over the fact that BLM almost destroyed a city because one cop “killed” one guy who actually died because he was juiced up with fentanyl

Meanwhile a small amount of people breach the capitol and do no damage except for the podium and all of a sudden the millions of people there who didn’t even think about entering the building are all domestic terrorists

If Trump gets impeached then he’ll never be able to run again. No Trump 2024, no Patriot party. He needs to focus on putting up a solid defence and taking advantage of his connections to ensure that he can continue to be America’s champion

That’s what the law says indeed. But let’s be honest, the law died on November 4th. It’s all meaningless now. Biden and his cronies have either burned the ballots anyways or surgically removed evidence

Unfortunately the evidence has likely already been destroyed. Biden’s first real executive order was probably to ensure the destruction of any evidence of his fraud in the election.

Don’t be fooled. These stimulus checks are part of a plan to eventually introduce UBI and as we all know once the government starts up a social program, it’s nearly impossible to stop it. People get addicted to the program even if it’s hurting them and any attempt to repeal it will be met with a violent response. Once the left implements UBI no one will be able to get rid of it.

They’re already saying “see how much these stimulus checks helped people? Why can’t we have UBI and do this every month?!”. These stimulus checks are part one of the UBI plan, giving people a free taste. What people aren’t talking about is how much this costed. That stimulus doesn’t come cheap and doing it every month forever would be a disaster. Now of course the UBI proponents say they’ll pay for it by “taxing the rich”. The rich don’t have enough money for this, and as we all know tax hikes never stay isolated to the rich for long. Think of every time a politician got elected promising to only tax the rich and then a month later you see a 10% tax increase on your already ridiculous bills.

UBI is coming and within our lifetimes. Prepare yourself and your bank accounts. It’s about to get messy

Fuck the left, and fuck UBI

Welcome to the world of liberal leadership. The costs for everything go up up up! A lot of you unfortunate folks in blue states are probably used to this kind of thing by now, but all you small town red state people should get ready too. This is how it always is, the left raises the cost of living for the average person with anti-business and anti-consumer policies like the disastrous and ineffective carbon tax(all it does is raise gas prices and make consumers pissed off. “Putting a price on carbon” won’t stop people from filling up their cars, and it won’t make them blow 100k on a Tesla). And then once they finish damaging the content they’ll blame capitalism for it while more right minded people try to clean up the mess.

It’s been like this for a long time too.

At best Republicans keep things stagnant. That’s not good enough. They’ll stagnate for 4-8 years and then the Dems take over and create radical new laws, and when the republicans take over nothing happens. Republican leadership is really just temporarily delaying the democrats plans, not fighting them

One problem with the libertarian party is that they have have no regulation at all when it comes to who can join up and run for leadership. You have people like vermin Supreme and anarcho-capitalists getting serious support within the party. Essentially, they need to purge the wackos.

We need a major third party and maybe even a fourth one anyways. The two party system has been a disaster. The big two can pass power back and forth between themselves while becoming more and more corrupt, all the while knowing that no one can rise against them

If these ideas were so obviously fake and BS, then they’d have no problems letting the public see them. The best way to discredit a bad idea is to let everyone see how stupid it is for themselves

Maybe if we put real science first we’d be better off by now. Climate change wouldn’t even be a concern of ours as clean nuclear and other realistic sources of green energy would have taken off in the 60s instead of being pounded into the ground by progressives. We might even have fusion by now. Maybe we’d even be on Mars by now! Who knows what great things Republican scientific achievements could have brought mankind?

America fell. Half its people are indoctrinated to hate it, the flag is meaningless to the current government who will surely allow and encourage disrespectful flag burning(iirc burning a flag is a respectful way to dispose of a damaged one in the right context) . All of this is nothing though compared to the fact that the constitution has essentially been declared null and void after the institutions meant to protect it turned against it. The actual government of the country(the Trump administration) has been removed from power and its powers stolen by an unlawful coup. With a population that would rated be another but, a disrespected flag, no constitution and a powerless government we have to ask... Does America even exist anymore?

Of course it still exists as an idea and an ideal. But as of now is the current USA a legitimate political entity? Or is it just a chaotic anarchic government wearing a mask and pretending to be the US?

Newsmax has been cucked for over 2 months now. They started getting screwy with their coverage of voter fraud later on and I knew they were starting to slip
