How about a compromise on energy?

How about this?

We are cleaner and more environmentally friendly than just about any other nation when it comes to oil extraction, and the way things are going, the oil will get drilled up by someone, and if we don’t change our thinking that wealth will not come here.  So we drill.  We drill a lot, I mean all of it. Right away. (hear me out)

The existing federal tax structure on energy is already loaded with  enough taxes on oil companies, that this strategy would add significant revenue to the federal government.  But we’d also get increased revenues from construction, transportation, and other forms of related commerce that would create more jobs from upscaled production to meet the new development demands.  That, plus payroll taxes from domestic job growth in all these industries, would infuse the national treasury with even more new cash from new sources.  So instead of what we are doing now, looking to steal cash from places that just don’t have it, and straining existing capital and investment, we’d have all new growth with all new money.  We then use a chunk of that new revenue to stimulate a massive alternative energy research and development project in the US, without having to cripple our economy to do it.

The Lie of Roe v. Wade

The left has been hiding something from you for the past 30 years.  They have done such a thorough job of it that people I have known most of my life, people with doctorates, college professors, businessmen, even a member of the clergy, never knew the truth about Roe v. Wade.  They all believed, as do most Americans, that if Roe were overturned Abortion would immediately be illegal in America.  They believe this because that is what the media tells us.  It is what our educators tell us.  It is what many of our politicians tell us.  It is what they want us to believe, and it is a lie.
 
The left, and their fellow travelers on abortion, need you to believe that overturning Roe would ban abortion. They want you to imagine weeping, troubled young girls, wandering alone into dirty back-alley clinics, in some feeble attempt to regain their “reproductive rights.”  They want you to envision self-mutilation with a wire hanger.  They demand that there is no other sane alternative to Roe.  But this is total fantasy, and proves that the bigger the lie, the easier it is to beleive.
