In a remarkable interview attempting to justify his agreement with the senate Build Back Better climate change bill (fraudulently labeled ‘inflation reduction act’), West Virginia Democrat Senator Joe Manchin says the massive energy spending and tax bill will bring green renewable energy much quicker. In essence, the windmills and solar panels for West Virginia will arrive faster now, and that will improve energy production. [Transcript Here]
When discussing the new energy origination provisions, Senator Manchin catches himself mid-sentence saying, “the battery better be made in America.” He quickly corrected himself knowing the claim was false and followed up with, “better be sourced in North America, it better be processed,” because he is well aware the largest employment and investment beneficiaries for his deal will be Mexico and Canada, not American workers. WATCH:
♦ BRASS TACKS – Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was gleeful last week promoting Manchin’s new green energy proposal because, with steel and aluminum tariffs removed, Canada will be one the biggest beneficiaries of $370 billion congressional spending package. Canada has no heavy industry left, they are the assembly economy for foreign manufacturing that uses loopholes, and the senate bill creates a USMCA loophole for this exact purpose.
The West Virginia windmills and solar panels will be shipped as raw materials from China and the EU into Canada. Canada will assemble the parts and ship the finished goods into the United States for placement by illegal alien workers employed by the contractors. The batteries to store the solar and windmill power will come from Mexico, after they receive the raw materials from Africa and Asia.
Canadian workers, Mexican workers, Chinese Workers, African workers and ASEAN workers will all benefit from the generous Joe Manchin spending package.
Unemployed West Virginia coal miners will watch Joe Manchin run for office in 2024 on Japanese televisions powered by China, while eating cheese puff flavored cricket snacks sourced from Canada. Brilliant plan, Joe.
[Transcript] – JOHN DICKERSON: We go now to West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin. Senator, welcome. I hope you’re feeling better from the COVID. Let me start with a- with a–
SENATOR JOE MANCHIN: –John, thanks for having me. I appreciate it.
JOHN DICKERSON: Let me start with something you said back in 2010 in a debate when you were running for Senate, here’s what you said:
SEN. JOE MANCHIN SOT: “I don’t think during the time of recession, you mess with any of the taxes or increase any taxes.”
JOHN DICKERSON: So that’s become the- your Republican colleagues favorite quote to roll out now that you’ve made this agreement with Chuck Schumer that has a tax piece to it. Why did you change your mind?
SEN. JOE MANCHIN: John, I didn’t change my not- my mind, I’ve never changed at all this is fighting inflation. This is all about the- the absolute horrible position that people are in now because of the inflation costs, whether it be gasoline, whether it be food pricing, whether it be energy pricing, and it’s around energy, mostly that’s driving these high inflation. This is going to do- take care of that, because this is aggressively producing more energy to get more supply to get the prices down. That’s what we’re doing. But we didn’t raise taxes, John, the taxes were- the corporate tax in America in 2017, before the Republican tax cut was 35%. They cut it to 21% 14% reduction. All the people that I know are paying 21% or more. All the even larger corporations, but some of the largest corporations of a billion dollars of value or more don’t even want to pay the minimum of 15%.
JOHN DICKERSON: So, this is an issue of fairness?
SEN. JOE MANCHIN: It’s basically closing– this is a fairness in closing a loophole. So, I’m not raising any taxes. I never thought that people weren’t paying at least 21.
JOHN DICKERSON: Let me ask you about–
SEN. JOE MANCHIN: –And I don’t know why. I mean, we went- go ahead I’m sorry.
JOHN DICKERSON: On the raising- Okay, so I understand what you’re saying about closing loopholes. But the Republican criticism, which attaches to what you said in 2010, is, when you increase taxes, by closing loopholes, you hurt supply, and during inflation, you want a lot of supply. And so even though this might not be a tax increase relative to previous rates, the taxes for certain companies will go up, which will make them produce more so the theory goes, and that will hurt inflation.
SEN. JOE MANCHIN: Let me just say this, John, in the last two years, there have been massive record profits across the board by these largest corporations, massive record profits, and it’s been the lowest capital expenditure in the last few years, so that didn’t drive it. What they’ve all told me was we want security, we want to have some type of pathway forward in permitting and regulations. They’re strangling us. And this is what we’re doing. We’re streamlining the regulations that people have to live within. It- basically accelerating how we get things to market, how quick we can produce things, how quick we can basically produce more energy, and how we can develop more technology. And using that for our benefit. We’re talking about also batteries for electric cars. If you want to get a discount on an electric car by buying an EV, the battery better be made in America, better be sourced in North America, it better be processed.
JOHN DICKERSON: Your Republican colleagues think you and Chuck Schumer did something underhanded by essentially, it looked like there wasn’t going to be anything big passed and then set and then you changed course worked out something with Schumer. Senator Cornyn, the Republican from Texas, said that that unveiling this agreement between you and Senator Schumer was “a declaration of political warfare.”
SEN. JOE MANCHIN: It’s such a shame. John Cornyn is a good friend of mine. He’s such a good man. And for the politics to be so toxic right now. First of all, I never thought this would come to fruition. I never spoke with anybody about any of my colleagues, because they were frustrated that nothing happened for so long. On the other, I never could get the Build Back Better, which is a three and a half trillion-dollar spending bill. This is a $400 billion investment bill. And everything my Republicans talked about reducing the amount of debt that we have- we’re paying down $300 billion- first time in 25 years, they gotta like that. And next of all, they wanted more energy, I want more energy, we’re going to be producing more energy. There’s an agreement that we’re going to be drilling and doing more than we can to bring more energy to the market that reduces prices. They like that. I mean, it’s and there’s going to be a streamlining of permitting John, but they got to like that so well. I’m hoping they just- take cool off. Take a good look at the bill.
JOHN DICKERSON: Their argument is and this matters because you are working with Republicans on other pieces of legislation and Susan Collins, one of those Republicans you’re working with says that this, this break of trust, which is what they’re calling it, you made certain representations they would say to Republicans and broke your trust, she said Susan Collins said it’s a very unfortunate move that delay – that that destroys the many bipartisan efforts that are underway. In other words, whether it’s on election reform, or same sex marriage that that the well has been poisoned.
SEN. JOE MANCHIN: Well, here’s the thing, I think Susan Collins is, you know, my very dear friend, we work almost on everything together. But the thing of it, I never told anybody that I wasn’t going to do something. If I had a chance to fix the energy policy of the United States of America, and I didn’t do it, shame on me. If I had the chance to reduce the amount of inflation and people in West Virginia and across the country are enduring right now. Shame on me. And I never thought they would come to an agreement and use a dual path and basically recognizing within this administration, working with President Biden’s administration and working with Chuck Schumer, and all of them who basically were going a different direction, and were very upset with me for so long that they would ever sit down. But I guess, you know, this thing is bigger, become truly horrible for the families all across America. So now to have a piece of legislation, that we have energy, and we have investments for new energy, but basically, that’s a responsibility. You can walk and chew gum, you have a balanced approach. These are solutions Americans want. We were able to provide these solutions. Let’s not make them political, John.
JOHN DICKERSON: You and Senator Schumer have a deal. A lot of Democrats who used to be very angry at you are suddenly now saying nice things about you, Senator Kyrsten Sinema. Have you talked to Senator Sinema whose vote is still unknown on these bills? And where do you think she’ll go? Because if she doesn’t vote for it, it doesn’t happen.
SEN. JOE MANCHIN: Yeah, Senator Sinema is a dear friend of mine. And we’ve worked very close together on so many pieces of legislation. And she’s- she’s so involved in this legislation. When you think about it, she’s the one that really negotiated and worked very hard on getting Medicare allowing them to negotiate for lower drug prices saving $288 billion. That’s tremendous, which I support her completely on that she’s always been adamant about we’re not going to be raising taxes. And I agree with her wholeheartedly. I made very, very, very carefully evaluations that we wouldn’t raise any taxes. That was the last scrub that was done.
JOHN DICKERSON: Have you tried to lobby her?
SEN. JOE MANCHIN: No, I don’t. We don’t. I’ve never lobbied my- my colleagues on that. I just basically put the facts out try to answer questions. I’m always trying to negotiate with them if- if they want and I tried to and sometimes we don’t get there. They get frustrated. But we’re always looking at the next opportunity to improve the quality of life in America. And that’s what we’re doing.
JOHN DICKERSON: Finally, Senator, there was a vote on a bill this week that would provide health care to millions of veterans exposed to toxic fumes in burn pits during their deployments. Republicans who had previously voted for it, voted against it. Pat Toomey, Republican from Pennsylvania, who will be on who you’ve worked with extensively in your career is worried that it adds to the deficit. That’s something you care about. Does Pat Toomey have a point here?
SEN. JOE MANCHIN: Sure. Well, Pat Toomey is going to get a- he’s gonna get an amendment. He- he’ll have a vote on that. So Pat, come on, let’s go. Let’s put- put it out there, put the facts out there. Pat’s a good man and good friend of mine. I’m sorry, he’s not going to be running again. And he’s leaving the Senate because he’s been a quality valued member of the Senate. And he represented Pennsylvania extremely well. So he’s been a friend. We’re going to work through this. I haven’t seen the amendment. I’m – I’ll be briefed tomorrow morning on it and everything. But Pat is going to get his amendment and let’s see where it goes.
JOHN DICKERSON: Senator Joe Manchin, thanks for being with us. Face the Nation back in one minute. Stay with us. (link)
“There’s a lakeside retreat near Winnipeg with a 5-bedroom cabin he built just for you”…
[SOURCE]
Man-chin is……
a traitor to the people……
that elected and trusted him.
He has revealed himself to be that and a nepotist.
This is sickening.
How many millions has he “earned”over the years to supplement his meager senate salary?
I think I could live very nicely on his “supplement his meager senate salary?”
I could live very nicely on his senate salary alone, never mind the perks he gets over and above the salary itself.
Yep…and Sundance predicted his very behavior weeks ago.. What a despicable man…just threw his state and it’s residents in the toilet.
CONgress needs to be cleansed.
Sundance has had Manchin’s number for way longer than weeks. This is typical Joe Manchin, the people have short memories and the media isn’t going to remind them what a parsel-tongue weasel he is.
His opposition to eliminating the fillibuster, was ALSO a Head Fake, as neither Schumer or McConnell want it removed.
On among far too many in DC.
A wretched hive of scum and villainy.
Hopefully, lesson learned never to be forgotten.
Joe Manchin is vile human garbage
He has plenty of company in that regard.
Capitol Hill is a toxic human waste dump.
I can not tolerate any rhetoric about Manchin, the moderate. He is not controlled opposition, he is the opposition.
ALL OF CONGRESS IS OPPOSITION. This tyranny ends when Congress is removed.
Torches, pitchforks, tar, feathers, trees and a very healthy supply of hemp rope.
Just a suggestion. I really doubt voting is really gonna send the message.
Im thinking of building a jungle gym cleverly disguised as a gallows. Or is it a gallows cleverly disguised as a playground?
I’ll figure it out😎😘
Windmills cannot function effectively in thin air of the mountains. W. Virginia has the highest average elevation of any state.
Windmills in Dallas are twice as efficient as Windmills in W. Virginia.
Im assuming you’re basing that conclusion on the facts of science and stuff (physics, etc), but what if the windmills identify as TX windmills?
They can still freeze in the cold weather and when covered in ice and snow.
INdeed. How many people froze to death in Texas, memory fails me?
Must be why they put them up near Mt. Storm… Minimal efficiency. Of course if you put them down in a valley you get very little wind. So maybe wind jus isn’t a good solution for WV. Maybe we just cut down all of the trees and start lining the hillsides with solar. What do you mean most of the valleys run north-south so its the least efficient orientation for solar panels, requiring almost twice as many as southern facing arrays? Mountains must be racist.
It don’t matter none!
The more windmills there are the more kickback$ there will be for FJM and his minions.
So, trying to look for the bright side, they will slaughter far fewer birds?
Compared too hydroelectric and coal and NG electric generation plants , they can not produce power 24 hours a day and and provide for peak usage on demand “Windmills cannot function effectively in thin air of the mountains. W. Virginia”
West Virginia is 19th in average elevation, right behind Texas.
https://www.netstate.com/states/tables/state_elevation_mean.htm
I read the WV highest average elevation comment and thought to myself “Somebody’s never been to Colorado.”
Is anyone keeping track of how many lamppost’s are going to be needed when justice is finally meted out for these Bolsheviks?
We ran out of Lamp posts long ago
Gonna have to double up
Fortunately both lamposts and ropes can be reused, over and over,…except the one used for Nadler, need a crane and chain there, for sure.
And, with our crumbling infrastructure, don’t even THINK about a bridge for Jerry!
This is how we do it in my neck of the woods….
There are always the windmills!
Hang them and watch them spin!
Manchin must have decided he has grifted enough $$$ and is ready to retire.
I support this message (lol)
Retire to a well paying gig as a political commentator and/or lobbyist, speaking engagements and a multi million dollar book deal.
He’ll take Gaston Caperton job like head of the SATs or some crap.
I’ve seen many of the windmills in West Virginia. Many groups/areas were named after Senator Robert Byrd. And like Robert Byrd…….they were dead. Rusted, falling apart, very few even working. Entire formerly pristine mountain ridge range views now with a line of non operating windmills doing there best to enhance the view. Really really green energy.
Then and probably still now, windmills don’t last even longer than the energy consumption used to manufacture and install them. In other words, the $0 point where energy is “free” from then on is longer than the windmill life span.
I visit WV yearly. Where is the wind going to come from for any windmills there?
Uhhh… the sky?
I think what they really need is to clearcut the entire state… I mean all of it… to allow that sweet, sweet Sky-Wind to bathe over the landscape in all of its eco-friendly goodness. Listen, folks… if you can’t look outta yer kitchen window and see a handful of Dust Devils raisin’ a ruckus in the distance, then you ain’t doin’ it right.
Come on, West Virginia! I wanna hear those windmills purring all the way up here in MA…
Late to the party, sorry Mr PIddles, however…
MA….you folks have Vineyard 1, off shore where the views will not be blocked…those so called “betters” need a pristine view fro THEIR windows…
Southern end of Northern IL gets a nice window view of stagnant windmills…only those are the average folk with family farms.
A direct pipeline from the Capitol Hill House and Senate chambers.
Decommissioning is an important unresolved issue for turbines and solar arrays? Who foots the bill for disposal when turbines and panels are no longer functional? It’s a toxic problem that developers would like to externalize to the next generation.
Age old remedy. Bury it. Environmentally friendly. Note the electric bulldozers. Heh…/s
It is not in CHYYNA’s best interest to make these windmills last long enough to provide a roi for the stoooopid Americans of the USA.
It’s always been a Solyndra. Always will be.
And, since batteries need Cobalt to keep from overheating and exploding, I guess the army of child slave miners in Africa needs to be doubled or Tripled.
Don’t forget too that the lithium req’d. for the batteries for the EV’s is primarily mined in Russia, CHYYNA, Ukraine and also Afghanistan (that CHYYNA now has some control over).
Funny too how the family of the FJB crime cabal have a HUGE interest in a lithium mine in A-stan which is co-owned with CHYYNA.
What a coincidence, huh?!
This is why the 17th amendment needs to be repealed. I don’t think WVer’s give a crap about windmills coming to WV.
One of the worst mistakes the US ever made. Repealing the 17th. State elections are now popularity elections with massive outside funding rather than controlled by the state’s legislature. Maybe then some of these idiots would care about their states. (I’m looking at you, Cheney)
The irony in this snippet is that every single name mentioned Cornyn, Collins, Sinema, Toomey and of course Schumer- are all disgusting pigs engorging themselves at the trough of the American tax dollar. Everything is already so expensive due to their machinations (I honestly think some are too dumb too see everything- their greed blinds them- but McConnell and Schumer know for sure) and now they blow out of the window billions more and the prices will only go higher. Disgusting, disgusting, every single one of them.
The wealth-creation ability of the U.S. will continue being strip-mined and sold to the highest bidder(s) unabated.
Let them all choke on all of the ill-gotten wealth they’ve gained by selling out America and others around the world.
He don’t care. Win or
lose, he’ll make a mint from the globalist with his 2024 run for the White House.
And therein lies the heart of the entire problem. That and a disgusting propaganda machine that claims to be our loyal news media.
Loyal to the exclusive club of their masters.
That WE ain’t in.
He probably already HAS made a mint.
But despite what Obama told us, at some point some can never scam enough taxpayer and political payoff money while they can get away with it.
Manchin is a WHORE
That is a TERRIBLE insult to the hard working (and working it hard) ‘ladies of the evening’ or street!
While they earn their $ “on their backs” they definetly DO earn it, unlike the politicians that form their client base.
Reality is that Manchin was promised pipelines to get his state’s natural gas to market. But the Dems won’t admit that publicly.
Or permits to reject.
Somebody must have shown him his kompromat.
They can put the windmills where they removed the mountaintops under his watch. Manchin was a lousy governor and is a lousy Congressman. WV is losing population, and Manchin hasn’t done anything to bring decent jobs to the state as Governor or Senator. He campaigns as a conservative to get elected over and over again somehow.
It doesn’t say much for the WV voters, does it?
WV at the governor level was once solid D but has lost significant ground to R in recent elections, flipping to solid R in 2020. It has long been a R haven for POTUS.
However, the current WV governor, Jim Justice, flipped parties while in office a few years ago, D to R which IMO accounts for the R vote in 2020, more for him than R in general. In some ways like Trump, one of the wealthiest men in the state but still very blue collar connected.
Manchin served as Governor nearly 20 years ago when the state, and blue collar labor, more closely aligned with D. When I was in oil and gas in the 70’s, labor was solid D, as were my parents. I was a rebel, more anti-government control than aligning with political parties. Now the government control chickens have come home to roost. No surprise, to me anyway.
Do you SERIOUSLY want to go there with me?!?
Given everything that continues to be revealed about voter fraud NATIONWIDE I don’t think it is fair of YOU to paint ALL WV voters with such broad generalizations.
I could obviously accuse you of the same, but I would rather not hurl insults at random, anonymous people.
Try removing the log from your own eye before you try picking the speck from mine!!
SMDH!
Another sell out! I shouldn’t be surprised. Disappointment all around!
What a bunch of disgusting gobbledygook.
WV has elected him repeatedly in different offices. He was friendly to coal executives when he was Governor too. I doubt the people of WV will do anything different this time.
Have they though? Does any state have a fair election?
Actually I’m glad Manchin has finally come out. he was in the running as a very moderate Dem prospect for 2024. And he had a good chance of uniting the remnants of that diseased party. AHA! He just couldn’t hold it in any longer. Thank God for that. He’s now toast in party. Love it..
Which party are you talking about,he is both,and I gather you are still a Dem “And he had a good chance of uniting the remnants of that diseased party”
Sinema now needs to hold firm and save America from all of this needless spending.
Don’t expect anything good from anyone in Con-gress but especially the Senate… it will help curb the disappointment.
Synema is a looney tunes leftist nutjob, and she and Manchin were both playing a role in all of this, and McConnell was the writer and director of the play.
Both come from States where the actual electorate are Conservative so they head fake to APPEAR to be ‘sensitive’ to the politics of the State, when in reality they are Dominion installed.
Synema even made sure she was applauding PDJT at his SOTUS, and when a Dem colleague warned her, that she was crossing Dem leadership, she dismissed it.
MORE Theater, as LEADERSHIP (there is no “Dem and Rep” leadership, there is just LEADERSHIP, INSTRUCTED her to do it.
Joe will bring windmills to WVA … I’m sure those folks would much rather he bring jobs. Sure he was under incredible pressure from the left, so he sold out the country just like they wanted.
I do not think we have to find excuses for his actions “Sure he was under incredible pressure from the left”
Go to hell, Manchin.
DC can’t be hell for them since they all live like kings and queens.
No, I don’t think DC IS Hell, as for what it IS?
“Flush twice, its a long way,
To DC!”
Largest Sewage treatment plant in the World?
Septic tank or cesspool can be substituted for Sewage treatment plant.
He probably will. Sadly.
Globalist— grifter bastards— both parties —
or in truth— the single party.
Blah… Blah… Blah….
More spin.
More spew.
More lies.
Self-serving elitists urinating on the hardworking citizens of this former republic.
Why didn’t Piglosi load up her plane with the lot of them and migrate to their donor Mecca—- aka China?!

West Virginia huh? No wind in the summer. No sun in the winter. Yep, that should work out real well.
Can’t you see that Manchin is producing both. Wind comes out of his mouth and he craps out sunshine. Isn’t that why Wet Virginia keeps him in office?
Apparently Senator Manchin is a two faced fool.
No “apparently” about that fact.
Closing loopholes….sounds a lot like that new definition about recession, which reminds me of Bill Clinton’s “It depends what the definition of is, is!”
Manchin is nothing more than a democrat whore, a lying whore, a scumbag of the first order. My wonder is if the citizens from his state will ever realize this? I doubt it, I really do.
Excuse my direct, street language…I’ve been listening to this bullsh*t for far too long. When the horse is out of the barn it is too late to go inside and retrieve it.
Look at his face, take a deep look…any wonder why many hate politicians…Manchin is just another Pelosi, Schiff, Schumer…the list goes on and on.
The citisens of WV, did NOT elect Joe, any more than the citisens of the U.S. elected that OTHER Joe, you know,..the one EVERYBODY wants to have sex with?
Political machine, controls the State, comprised of the rich vultures who feed off the people, weak opposition party cause all of its key positions (district, county and State chairs and executive boards) are Democrats with an R after their name, faccilitating and covering for their declared Dem collegues.
Never BEEN to WV, but its THE pattern, with minor differences, we see in all 57 States.
Sickening excuse for
‘ public servants’ who lie, sell us out and do not care about Americans!
I guess Joe Manchin does not want to be President, or is it that he wants to be President too much?
What a fool and a coward.
As the good citizens of West Virginia face 20-30% increases in gas, food and energy cost they can rest easy that West Virginia is going to have thousands of new windmills where virtually all of the 370B is funneled to other countries.
The good news is Manchin will never get re-elected whenever his term is up.
One can only crap on your people so many times before they say enough.
The way our reps act, it’s like they aren’t scared of elections… because they aren’t.
What state is proud of their representation? How do turds like Pelosi, Graham, McConnell, Feinstein, and the rest keep winning elections? It’s not because the people love them… most don’t know who they are. The ones that do (for the most part) want nothing more than to banish them… but it never seems to happen.
Besides the overt cheating most people don’t vote on the conservative side because they are sick of voting for the lesser of two evils. Unfortunately they don’t understand that it will always be a contest between the lesser of two evils. The truth is they need to vote for the better of two bad situations.
Come on man Manchin has been crapping on his state for as long as he has been in politics, especially the Senate. Only in the senate he craps on the rest of us also.
Yeah – Green energy worked so well in TX and CA.
Anyone heard from old Mitch McConnell on this boondoggle? Was he tricked?
“Tricked”? McConnell has been around for ages and knows all the tricks. When McConnell does something, it is intentional. The only ones tricked are those who still cling to the “feckless” or “stupid” excuses for GOP behavior.
Mitch is only tricked in public behind the scenes he is counting the money he just made screwing over America.
For some strange reason, my brother continues to think that Manchin is the Conservatives friend. He’s constantly surprised by Manchin’s treachery. But he’s my brother, he votes for Trump and, best part, I can tell him ‘Told ya’ so!.
So…what is the american citizen getting out of any of this except screwed?
Replacement by the invading hordes flooding our borders?
Oh, wait….that is part of being screwed.
Otherwise, I got nuthin’.
Sure hope the people of WV are taking notice and don’t forget
But don’t worry , he will protect the Second Amendment ……./s/
Does Manchin think all Americans are fools?
Yes
No not all, he just doesn’t think we can do anything about it. Elections are rigged. Securing his was probably part of the deal.
No just the ones in his state.
Never trust anyone wearing a mask
The appropriate words and actions cannot be spoken or written.
“How dost thou disgust me, let me count the ways!”
“Traitor, vile human garbage, WHORE, sell-out, globalist grifter bastard, two-faced fool, sickening excuse of a public servant, coward…”
If a REAL conservative ran against him in the election, those terms – and the facts of his voting and behavior which generated them – should suffice to force him out.
With Election Fraud, however, traitorous, cowardly, whoring , vile human garbage always has a chance of winning!
Preaching to the choir here. Sadly, all true.
Tactical civics and Extreme Federalism is a good start to rectify that by not continuing to play by their rules. It will be quite a slog to go through, but must be done.
So let’s see if I have this right. Windmills and batteries work cheaper than gas/oil and will replace a very efficient and effective source of power at a cheaper price. When the wind stops blowing and the battery hasn’t charged and mom’s on the operating table in surgery, the lights go out. Yeah, this is going to work out. Lol
Almost heaven, West Virginia.
Oh my heart breaks for my beautiful West Virginia hills, to be dotted with these ugly and non-biodegradable, non-reusable, non-energy efficient windmills.
No longer majestic and so grand.
Manchin is a traitor to his State.
They keep electing EPI Joe, so, there ya have it.
What an absolute crock. Even Manchin does not believe what he is pedaling.
Demoncrats truly do have one aim…………………..it is NOT the American people.
How very sad we have let this once great nation be overcome with darkness & spiritual wickedness.
He has the eyes of a man who just betrayed those poor folks who trusted him.
Unions are stakeholders in these contracts.
They provide necessary skilled labor to the contractors on a temporary basis. While I believe that unskilled labor gets its cut, this requires
high voltage work and skilled linemen.

Maybe WVA Attorney General Patrick Morrisey should announce he’s running for the Senate in 2024. He’s very popular in the state. Great name recognition and they already have 1 GOP senator.
FJM’s check to Dominion must have just cleared for him to finally be able to ‘safely’ present his ukase.
Exactly.
