I grew up in Pennsylvania and later in my career did a lot of work and traversed the state. Every time I would travel the PA Turnpike or Interstate highways, I would think: This is a beautiful state with millions of fine people. How could it go from Eisenhower Conservatives of my youth to Shapiro Liberals now? Were it not for the corruption of the cities of Philadelphia, Harrisburg and Pittsburgh, it would be just as Red as SC. Maybe Fetterman is smarter than I gave him credit for? He too must travel into the rural towns and talk with real productive citizens....

PA and WV sit right on top of the Marcellus and Utica Shales. I remember when I graduated from college with my undergraduate circa 2012 that the Shales were all the talk of this region. Oil & Gas companies from all over the country were venturing out here to get in on it. It was said that part of the Appalachians alone could power the entire country for a century or more.

I worry about Fetterman’s mental state, but these recent developments show that there is obviously something in there to make him aware of what’s going on.

When Fetterman was elected, I thought to myself, well he is probably just going to do what he is told and other then that, be relatively harmless. He I believe has proven me wrong and a lot of other folks, apparently there is some form of rational thought in his Carhart hood. Good for him, lets see if he keeps it going.
