If someone told me where this nation would stand a few years ago, I would not have believed we could get here so easily. Who really believed Nikita Khrushchev would be right? The difference between patriotism and nationalism is that the patriot is proud of his country for what it does, and the nationalist is proud of his country no matter what it does; the first attitude creates a feeling of responsibility, but the second a feeling of blind arrogance that leads to war.

Lindsey Graham is the epitome of hypocrisy. Virtually every comment Lindsey Graham made on the issue of impeachment made in the past two decades was reversed the instant Trump took office.

For those die-hard Trump supporters that actually believe he has done something to reinvigorate the dying coal industry... coal is dead and it isn't coming back!ELEVEN COAL COMPANIES HAVE FILED FOR BANKRUPTCY SINCE TRUMP TOOK OFFICEBY DANIEL MORITZ-RABSON ON 10/30/19Eleven coal companies have declared bankruptcy since President Donald Trump took office, including Murray Energy, which filed for Chapter 11 Tuesday, S&P Global Market Intelligence told Newsweek.
While Trump campaigned on a promise to revive the coal industry, the sector has declined during his presidency. Although the president has rolled back 85 environmental rules in an attempt to help revive business, according to The New York Times, a natural gas boom and the country's increasing use of renewable energy sources have stymied those attempts. Coal provided just 27.5 percent of Americans' electricity last year, according to the Energy Information Administration, down from nearly half just a decade ago.
The natural gas boom and the increasing capacity of renewable energy have contributed to coal's decline, a trend marked by a string of bankruptcies. Armstrong Energy Inc and Mississippi Minerals filed for bankruptcy in 2017. Mission Coal and Westmoreland Coal filed for bankruptcy in 2018. Trinity Coal filed for bankruptcy in March and was followed by Piney Woods Resources Inc in April, Cloud Peak Energy in May, Cambrian Holding in June, and Blackjewel and Blackhawk Mining in July. Murray, Cloud Peak and Revelation Energy/Blackjewel were among the nation's top 10 producers in 2018, according to the EIA.
Murray Energy, the largest privately-owned coal company that employed almost 5,550 people in 2018 is the latest casualty. The company owned and operated 13 mines across the county and managed five additional mines, but had accumulated about $2.7 billion in debt, the bankruptcy filing said. The company also has more than $8 billion in actual or potential liability.The difference between patriotism and nationalism is that the patriot is proud of his country for what it does, and the nationalist is proud of his country no matter what it does; the first attitude creates a feeling of responsibility, but the second a feeling of blind arrogance that leads to war.
