Do you think Jethro Tull plays the flute well? As far as we know he never had time to play the flute while inventing the horse drawn seed drill and such in the 18th century. In the band that took his name, only Ian Anderson plays the flute.

Pennsylvania Trump GOP Rift Had Seeds Planted In Summer — The Trump Campaign in Pennsylvania has reportedly moved from the state Republican Party headquarters and is renting its own place.
Media reports sourced from anonymous “GOP consultants” blame the state GOP led by Lawrence Tabas for the rift.
We remind all that last summer’s battle to replace disgraced Val DiGiorgio as state party boss was resolved by tasking one-time never-Trumper Bernadette ‘Bernie’ Comfort with running Trump’s Pennsylvania campaign. This ended her opposition to Tabas, the popular choice and ostensibly brought party unity.
We also remind all that Ms. Comfort, who was a strong Val ally, is still working with one-time (?) never-Trumper and disgraced former GOP boss Bob Asher.

America uses but 5 percent of its electricity for lighting according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Of course, that is 216 billion kilowatt-hours.
Dems Hate America, The Proof –Here’s a story that you likely missed. When the cost of oil crashed in March, President Trump sought to restock the strategic petroleum reserve. The Democrats killed the $3 billion deal a week later. They called it a bailout for big business. Leave aside a purchase at what was thought at the time a bargain basement price to fill a strategic need is anything but a bailout, failing to recognize that a strong domestic oil industry is necessary to our security is rather anti-American. It’s almost treasonous.
But they did it. No harm though. When the price of oil went negative, Trump offered to let the oil companies use the strategic reserve for storage, and the oil firms took him up on it using oil in lieu of dollars to pay the rent. Win-win all around, it seems. It was actually kind of brilliant on Trump’s part.
One downside is that the original plan called for filling the reserve to its capacity which would have required 77 million barrels The new plan calls for the storage of just 30 million barrels and, of course, the oil companies continue to own the stored oil.
Still the Democrat Party sabotaged a plan to increase our security at a bargain basement price and help an essential, job-intensive industry. We’ll call it treason.
By the way, did you see where China is buying 117 supertankers worth of cheap oil?
