Apache To Exit North Sea -- Windfall Tax Makes The Play "Non-Economical" -- November 8, 2024

Locator: 48742B.

"Keeping Families Together": I fully support this program but the president doesn't have the authority to do this unilaterally -- at least that's what the left is reminding us about what Trump might do. We still have a constitution. This is Civics 101.

Speaking of which: the left wants a 70-year-old Supreme Court justice to step down immediately so that Biden can appoint a younger justice to take her place. Hope springs eternal.
