Paul Buskirk

Mark R. Holland appears to be leading the fund raising department, he's an ex-mayor of KCK,
anyone have a preference between these 6 and why? Educate us please!
I had hoped Barbara Bollier would have thrown her hat in the ring, but to late to do so.

Flabbergasted by what Trumper Carlson said about Biden last night

He was ranting about the evils of windmills when he said "Biden plans on issuing an Executive
Order commanding the winds to blow" on windmills. He must think Biden graduated with honors
from Hogwarts.

And the real shame is besides being an obvious lie, his viewers will be spreading this disinformation
around on social media as proof that Biden is (fill-in), plus they'll make TOONS of it.

I taped Carlson & Hannity last night to see what the enemy was saying about yesterday's hearing,
neither said one word about the hearings although Hannity had what appeared to be a drunk
guest belittling the Judge for several minutes who was a focus of yesterday's hearing.

Production at recently opened baby formula factory stopped again

Sturgis, Mich. (AP) —Severe weather has forced Abbott Nutrition to pause production at a Michigan baby
formula factory that had just restarted after being closed for several months.

Production for its EleCare specialty formula has been suspended, but there is enough supply to meet demand
until production is restarted, the company said. The company put a priority on ramping up production of the
specialty formula for infants with severe food allergies and digestive problems who have few other options
for nutrition.

Abbott says it needs to assess damage and re-sanitize the factory after severe thunderstorms and heavy
rains swept through southwestern Michigan late Monday. The company didn’t indicate how much damage
the factory sustained.

Abbott had restarted the Sturgis, Michigan, factory on June 4 after it had been closed since February
due to contamination.

Senator Marshall offers legislation to lower gas prices

Posted Jun 15, 2022 1:00 PM

Specifically, his bill prohibits the introduction of any new regulations that decrease U.S. energy production or
increase gasoline prices. By getting government out of the way, domestic oil and gas production will increase
and prices will drop. Despite the national average cost of a gallon of gasoline exceeding $5, Senate Democrats
objected to Senator Marshall’s Gas Prices Relief Act and in turn, refused to act to alleviate record prices at the
pump for Americans.

“Rising energy prices add inflationary pressure to everything. It’s like a game of dominoes. When the diesel fuel
powering our 18-wheelers are costing truckers 80% more than it did last year, they are going to have to raise
their rates to compensate. When businesses are paying 30% more for their gas utilities, they are going to have to
raise their prices to make up the difference. And Kansans – already paying more just to get to the store – are
continually finding that what money they have left is getting them less and less every week.

I am here to ask for unanimous consent to pass the Gas Prices Relief Act which would bar any Federal agency from
finalizing any rule or regulation that would make it harder to produce American fuels. Our legislation would set us
on course to bring down prices at the pump by getting out of the way of American production and allowing them to
power the world without more needlessly restrictive rules and regulations. Good energy policy will fix the current
crisis, not more reckless spending or regulations...”

His plan appears to be get out of the way of big oil by reducing regulations they don't like. Anybody that believes
allowing big oil to do anything they want will reduce prices at the pump is an idiot.

His piece of legislation is designed to get him more big oil campaign donations and give him something to brag
about on the campaign trail, all self-serving to himself.

No more at link except a video of him talking in circles, at about the 2:30 mark he remarked that "Biden was
fulfilling his campaign promise to destroy American oil & gas", don't believe he ever said that. At the 3:00
mark he said "seems like it was just yesterday I was filling my truck up for less than 2 dollars a gallon"
That tank of gas last you 40 years Roger????? Chuck Schumer won't even allow a vote on this. Nowhere was
there any real idea to lower pump prices.

I absolutely lost it yesterday in the hospital waiting room.

I'm usually very easy going , polite & tactful in my red town in dealing with repugs but not yesterday, I
went full on MAGAstan yelling.

After checking in I went into the waiting room and was surprised MSNBC was on with volume loud enough
you could hear w/o straining. A couple came in and sat to my right and then a single gentleman to my left,
we are all listening to the Select Committee hearing when this 400 lb guy comes in and sits right under the
TV looking right at the 4 of us and starts out with "Why don't Biden investigate all the fires the BLM rioters
started" from there it went to bad mouthing the Committee, it's members, Biden, Pelosi etc, etc, etc.

After about 5 minutes of this foul mouthed motormouth drowning out the TV, I sensed the couple was tired
of listening to him and the single gentleman was definitely tired of his rants like myself.

So I walked over to him and as loud as I could muster "You're really one dumb son of a bitch aren't you?
those fires were investigated and they were started by proud boys & oath keepers but your Fascist FQX
propaganda network will never tell you the truth." Had a couple other sentences rebutting other things
he said, and finished with "Now I'd like to listen to what my fellow reQublicans have to say about Jan 6th"

Turned around and there's a male hospital staffer with a clipboard and he's motioning me to come to him,
Oops, I'm in trouble I thought, when I got to him he says "Are you Mike?" "yes" "follow me please"
Walking down the hallway I asked how he knew it was me and he replied everybody else was too young.

Then we joked about the 400 lb guy. And yes I lied...I have no fellow repugs

When I told my brother about this today he said that would be a good question for repugs who refuse to
watch the Jan 6th hearings "What are you afraid of hearing from these reQublicans who were very
close to tRump?"

My new red hat & T-shirt idea

Make Germany
..Great Again
....A Hitler

Be making fun of Agolf Twitler & reQublicOns in general without saying it outright.
And if any MAGAstanians give me any crap over my hat I'll reply with "Isn't that how he became dictator?
That's what he promised." Anyone have a better response? Always open to ideas.
" Is Overthrowing Our Government How To MAGA? " might be a good T-shirt.
