Guilty Ann Coulter goes full normie, says we still owe blacks, esp. an immigration moratorium
PURE CANT.
Trump is a liar.
Coulter is a loser.
Whites must fight or die.
Last week we nearly had no natural gas in Grands Rapids, Michigan, this week an ice storm took out the power
Another one-two punch for us here in western lower Michigan from Mother Nature, where it's now 45F and the ice storm has melted away. Going down to 17F by midnight, though. Been there. Doin' it again.

More "peak capitalism" from the Democrat Party's Marxists
The Marxists have been waiting for peak capitalism since Marx himself, just as the Christians have been waiting for the end of the world since Christ himself.
So they're good, then.
Virginia turns into political Chernobyl, now attorney general admits, sort of, to blackface
The governor's med-school yearbook shows somebody in blackface on his page, for which Democrats everywhere have said he must resign.
Next in line is the Lt. Gov., a black man accused of sexual assault by a woman about whom the Lt. Gov. is reported to have recently said, "F*ck that bitch".
Next in line is the Attorney General, who has come out admitting to appearing in "brown make-up" when he was 19, reporting which the NYT is taking flak for underreporting the facts of blackface, nevermind the Attorney General is.
Not sure who is next in line, but from the look of things, this might take a while.
And to think a chink started it all.
Kellyanne Conway baldly lies on The Rush Limbaugh Show, claims over 7 million jobs created
You don't lose control of the US House after creating over 7 million jobs in just over two years.
These people are blind, but the voters are not.
There is NO measure which comes even close to over 7 million new jobs.
Total nonfarm payrolls (Establishment Survey) between Nov 2016 and Jan 2019 are up 5.3 million, seasonally adjusted, 1.7 million not seasonally adjusted.
Civilian employment (Household Survey) is up 4.5 million seasonally adjusted, 2.6 million not seasonally adjusted.
The sum of usually full time and usually part time (Household Survey) is up net 4.5 million seasonally adjusted, 2.6 million not seasonally adjusted (mirrors civilian employment level).
The employment-population ratio is up from 59.8% to 60.7%, an increase of 4.6 million jobs from 152.2 million to 156.8 million.
And 78% of these new jobs have gone to minorities, not to the white majority.
CONWAY: . . . He’s going to talk about the booming economy, and it is the Trump economy. Over seven million jobs created, wages are up, unemployment is down, small business formation is going well. People are just… They’re back to work. We’re a country that works.

Did Texas give preferential treatment to American Indian takers of the bar exam in 1986?
Looks like Elizabeth 1/1024 Warren, born white in 1949, thought of herself quite seriously as American Indian at the age of 37 or so.
Rush Limbaugh's Whopper of the Day: Trump more popular than Bill Clinton was at same time in presidency
 |
| There isn't a single poll at Real Clear Politics at this hour showing Trump at 48% as Limbaugh claims |
When news reports boast that Michigan's Consumers Energy has 300-350 billion cubic feet of natural gas in storage, that's not really true either
Working gas available is hardly 49% of the current 308.8 billion cubic feet total storage reported by Consumers Energy, or only 150.9 billion cubic feet.
From all companies in Michigan available working gas in storage is only 671 billion cubic feet, not the much-vaunted 1.1 trillion cubic feet. Still, Michigan has more capacity than any other state. Its stored working gas would supply the needs of 4.3 million average households for one year before needing to be restocked, or about 11 million people for one year. Michigan's population is 10 million. Business users are not included in this math.
But when a mere compressor fire nearly incapacitates one utility's ability to service all of its 2 million customers when they need heat the most, think what an Electro Magnetic Pulse event might do.
That's what keeps me up at night.
The Michigan Public Service Commission clearly states in footnote one to "Michigan Natural Gas Storage Field Summary":
Working gas means the maximum gas that can be cycled in and out of straoge [sic, read "storage"]. Base Gas means gas that is not cycled in and provides pressure support.
Michigan's natural gas debacle last week went misreported because of an opaque, indifferent utility and stupid reporters
Over and over again we heard that the facility where there was a fire last week accounted for 64% of the utility's supply of natural gas to its customers in Michigan. And we're still hearing that today in some reports. Unfortunately, this isn't really true. It's unnecessarily alarming.
The Ray field at Macomb has 41 billion cubic feet of stored natural gas, as only The Detroit News noted at the time, but during a normal winter when Consumers Energy pumps 2.5 billion cubic feet a day, the utility is supplying 150 billion cubic feet in two months' time. It can't all come from Macomb's storage, obviously. It's piped in from all over to be compressed at Macomb and at other stations. The problem isn't the supply, just as the utility indeed kept emphasizing, stating in various reports that Consumers has 300-350 billion cubic feet of stored gas. The problem was too much of the utility's compressor capability (64%) is centralized at Macomb, which they didn't want to emphasize when it suddenly went off-line automatically in the wake of the fire. Examine the news accounts and you will see that the reporters simplistically characterized these details and misled the public.
Critics of Consumers Energy's paltry $3 million in infrastructure spending over the last five years have a point. This utility in Michigan is notorious for spending more dark money than any other to influence politics. Now that they've had this fire, they'll have to spend more on infrastructure, but it remains for Consumers Energy to install more redundancy in its system to prevent against what happened last week. But don't hold your breath. The utility is as unlikely to do what is best for Michigan as reporters are likely suddenly to become more intelligent.
God forbid we have an EMP. I doubt any of this infrastructure would function properly after such an event, redundancy or no.
That's what alarms me.

On Wednesday night, as temperatures dropped to -43 degrees with the wind chill, Consumers Energy sent an emergency message to Michiganders' cell phones asking them to turn down their thermostats to 65 degrees.
That followed a similar plea from Consumers Energy CEO Patti Poppe, who reported a Wednesday explosion that damaged a Consumers Energy facility that accounts for 64 percent of its supply. In a Facebook message, Poppe urged Michiganders to "protect the system" by turning down the heat.
But many Michiganders responded to Poppe's plea with defiance on social media during the emergency, frustrated with being asked to pay ever-increasing rates to a private company that essentially runs a monopoly.
The facility where there was a fire is a compressor facility tasked with the job of pressurizing natural gas for its pipeline network. The facility accounts for 64% of pressurized supply, not 64% of supply, a key detail still not reported clearly in the media, which at the time unnecessarily alarmed the public during a period of dangerous, bitter cold weather.
The Ray plant contributes a maximum of 64 percent of the company's daily average of 2.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas to customers. Before gas can be put into the pipeline system, however, it needs to be compressed. The Ray station sits above Consumers' largest underground natural gas storage area with a capacity of 41.2 billion cubic feet of storage. Overall, Ray can compress 117 million cubic feet of gas per day, reaching pressures of 1,800 pounds per square inch. ...
"Most of the damage was on plant two. We have plant one flowing and three mostly has heat-related damage. We are working on that now," [VP Garrick Rochow] said. "Plant three will take maybe three weeks to get back online. Plant two is more significant. It was closer to the fire and flames and heat. It looks like it originated there. It is out for the season, but not going to impact ability to deliver to customers."
The layout of the Ray facility, which was built out over time, is three separate buildings and three separate plants on the site at 69338 Omo Road, in Armada Township. Station No. 3, which was built in 2011, is the largest of the three.
"We don't know what activated the fire gate system," Rochow said. "We are looking at that. We do know that in the process of venting the gas that the natural gas caught fire. There was a fireball like in the pictures. As a precautionary measure, plant 1 and 2 were in operation and fire-gated. Personnel fire-gated the entire facility. When that occurred, probably 50 yards separated the buildings .... gas from plants one and two caught fire."
Rochow said it is unclear why automatic controls vented the system and how the gas caught fire. "We can see the sequence of events but still looking at the reasons," he said. ...
But Rochow said one lesson Consumers might have learned is that the plants might still be too close to one another, given the fact that venting of gas of all stations at the same time led to the fireball igniting everything at once.
"We have systems there and the proximity of the systems has eliminated (favorable) redundancy," he said. "We will learn from it and think about how investments can create more redundancy on that particular site."

Not hiring whitey: 82% of new jobs since Republican tax cuts went to minorities
2.159 million new jobs added, but 1.765 million of them went to minorities, not whites. Hispanics received over 52% of the new jobs.
Thanks Donald Judas Trump! Thanks a lot! Thanks corporate bigots! Thanks a lot!
