You get your electricity from a federally regulated public utility. The power grid that spans the the Eastern half of the US which shares power across state lines is run by the Regional Transmission Organization enacted by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. So you might be getting your power from the plants that Excelon / Pepco owns. But they may be buying that power through the federal RTO when they can't meet their demand. It is true that over 70% of the power generated currently in the US is generated by corporations. But there are energy producers that are owned and operated by federal, state and local government, as well as co-op owned. Texas has opted out of the Federal Interstate RTO grid. So when they can't meet their demand they can't buy power from another source. And they have also chosen not to meet federal winterization standards, which would have prevented their current shortage. They are down 30% production in coal, gas and nuclear this week because they chose not to winterize. Wind is also down 30% due to lack of winterization, while solar is up 100%. But if they participated in the interstate grid they wouldn't be without power at all this week. In any event, read up on Roosevelt's New Deal sometime and let me know how much of the country the federal government is responsible for providing the electrical grid to.

Are you really arguing that Texans without power pull themselves up by their boot straps and generate their own individual electrical power? Did you run your own electrical grid or do you really on the evils of commie government power?

I'm liking Chazz Surratt out of UNC. He's taller, longer and faster than Milano. At 6' 3" 230#, a former QB turned 4 down LB'er, his 40 time is reportedly 4.5. He's a late 2nd, earlier 3rd round pick.

Is this where I tell you to grow a pair?

Suck a pair.

I'm not celebrating anything bro.

I feel pretty good stating objective facts about the things the man did in his life. I didn't wish him cancer, and I hope he didn't suffer. I'm just not into being told "my true colors" are showing by people how have recently wished me cancer and told me to blow my head off.

Is this where you tell me to stick a pistol in my mouth?

Coming from the guy who just told people on this board to stick a gun in their mouths. Please, save it for Jesus, Mary and Joseph.

Totally! He single handedly proved Obama was the Kenyan born, Muslim leader of ISIS!

The man stirred up hatred of all sorts. I will always remember him for his evil stance on people with drug addiction. "Plop plop, fizz fizz, oh what a relief it is," he used to say mockingly as he argued for the mass execution of drug addicts... All the while being a drug addict himself who was caught doctor shopping for oxycontin. The man's schtick was driven by hate.

I bet home Generator sales will be through the roof in Texas, much like in WNY after the October Surprise.

But the windmills froze the natural gas pipelines, and it's Biden's fault that Texas disconnected itself from the rest of the country!

Texas's natural gas pipelines froze, as did the stockpile of coal. Morons.

It's on ESPN for me.

What if Safety or CB is clearly the BPA at #30?

Way to look for the negatives in this, jesus. She is a bit of a late bloomer though as she battled through severe injuries earlier in her career. All the more reason to be proud and excited for her!

In what world is it not a crime to attempt to lobby, or intimidate the VP into changing the results of the election during it's certification? The democrats are really stupid, they didn't have to prove that violence was directly incited. That only had to prove that an unlawful act was directly incited. The goal of Trump's rally and speech was to convince the VP and Congress overturn the lawful certification of the election. If that is not a crime, then it wouldn't be a crime for Kamala Harris to change the election results in 4 years in the event that the states certify the election for the Republican candidate. But it would be a crime if Harris did that, just as it would be a crime if Pence did. And Trump sending that mob to Congress with the expressed purpose of convincing Pence to commit a crime is a crime in and of itself. A horrific precident has been set.

Sorry to hear that. Too often the most important things get lost in all the arguing over things we have little to no control. I may or may not disagree with you about everything. But I truly hope for nothing but the best and you and your family. And that goes for everyone.

You're supposed to blame Clinton.

They don't care. No amount of effort on your part to discuss facts is going to be considered. They feed on the dopamine release that comes from being complete and utter #######s to those they believe are their enemies. If you don't profess that democrats hate America and are the enemy of freedom, you are the enemy.

You're sick.

Landslide victory for Trump!

Is your New Years resolution to hang Mike Pence?

He saw significant playing time this year for the first time due to the injury to Marcus Davenport. He's a former 3rd round pick of the Patriots, and they dealt him to the Saints as part of the trade for Brandon Cooks in 2017.
