President Joe Biden, contrary to expectations, said something consequential in his first address to members of Congress…by mistake. It was a whopper that went unnoticed on Wednesday night; with just a few ill-chosen words Biden utterly toppled any justification for the Green New Deal, which plays a central role in his $2.3 trillion American Jobs Plan and which, without a doubt, puts our economy at risk.

The left thinks the nation should be powered by marijuana, rather than oil, natural gas, and coal. Interesting idea. Why don't they try it in Democrat businesses first, so the rest of us can see how that works out?

China will continue to build hundreds more coal fired central power plants, because they are the best and cheapest way to make electricity....bar none. And the output of India and China and the volcanoes and other natural sources will be massively more than what the USA would put out if we did NOTHING different. And yet, the evil econazis want to destroy our economy, ruin the best place on planet Earth for NOTHING.

Greenies want to destroy our economy by pushing industrial production to other countries that will create far more pollution producing the same product, thereby causing a huge increase in worldwide pollution. Just one more example of "The worst enemy of the environment is environmentalists". Just to add, the people who want to do away with CO2 should do exactly that in their own lives. They will get mighty hungry to eat when plants can't grow.

But, of course, we knew that anyway. Further, while Earth's climate is certainly changing, as it has been doing for at least the last few hundred million years (read, ice ages): 1. today there is no provable link between man-made carbon emissions and climate change; 2. nothing in science has proven that the only legitimate global temperature is the one Greta Thumbinbutt prefers. What makes this one the best one for the environment? Why not the temp during the middle of the last ice age, when glaciers covered most of Canada? Why not the temp during the Triassic period, when swamps covered the Artic landmass?

China and India have excellent scientists who are knowledgeable regarding the effects of carbon dioxide, yet the are moving forward building more and more coal fired power plants. They show little if any concern. The answer seems obvious. If the U.S. continues to shut down coal fired plan and curtail access to natural gas there will be brownouts and blackouts and the time to recover could take at least a few years. New power plants are not built in a few years. Permitting takes years with or without obstructive litigation. All this is occurring while the federal government is massively subsidizing electric vehicles which are dependent on additional electricity, and not during only off peak hours.

Who’s really running Biden’s White House?
Step forward President Klain

The name’s Klain — President Klain. Washington insiders delight in assigning the White House chief of staff this mischievous title as the driving force behind the actual president, Joe Biden. The man himself, Ron Klain, would never describe himself this way, but his firm grip on the levers of government has enabled the 78-year-old president to cruise through his first 100 days in office without breaking sweat. Everybody who is anybody in Washington knows Klain, although few people outside the Beltway — the ring road surrounding the capital — have heard of him. He is a powerful, confident operator who knows the business of government inside out.

Democrats' quest to make Washington, D.C., the 51st state hit a big roadblock this week in the form of a fellow Democrat. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., said he opposed Congress alone creating the new state and he believes, like Republicans have argued, that statehood for the nation's capital needs to be done through a constitutional amendment. "If Congress wants to make D.C. a state, it should propose a constitutional amendment," Manchin said in an interview with the West Virginia MetroNews radio network, according to The Associated Press. "It should propose a constitutional amendment and let the people of America vote."

More than a dozen House Republicans Friday are questioning Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo on whether there "was any political interference" in the final census numbers used to decide how many House members each state will get for the coming decade. The letter, first obtained by Fox News, is led by Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., the ranking member on the House Oversight Committee. The Republican House members cited gaps between the number of House seats some right-leaning states were projected to gain -- or some left-leaning states were projected to lose -- and the final results announced this week.

The Texas Republican had emergency surgery last month to fix a detached retina that occurred due to the injuries he sustained while serving as a Navy SEAL in Afghanistan.

Rep.

That has spurred Trump's wrath in multiple forums and triggered a handful of Republicans to announce primary challenges to her

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, took PolitiFact to task on Tuesday for rating "False" his claim that Republicans did not try to "rig the game" in the Supreme Court, which he has accused Democrats of doing by seeking to expanding its size to 13. "Lying liars lie & that's what Politi'fact' does every day," Cruz tweeted. "You didn't see Republicans when we had control of the Senate try to rig the game," Cruz is quoted as saying on April 22.

President Biden said he would be "in trouble" if he continued to take questions from reporters during a rare back-and-forth with the press Tuesday afternoon. After speaking about new federal health guidelines for mask-wearing for vaccinated and non-vaccinated individuals, Biden answered a few shouted questions from gathered reporters at the White House. "I'm sorry," he said, after listening to questions about his own mask-wearing and a potential summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin. "This is the last question I'll take, and I'm really gonna be in trouble."

Former President George W. Bush appeared to blame himself for the country’s “populist uprising” on illegal immigration after he failed to pass comprehensive reform during his eight years in office. During an interview with “The Dispatch” podcast, Mr. Bush expanded on comments he made earlier this month that his failure to pass immigration reform was one of his biggest regrets of his presidency. “Now, the reason I say it’s a regret is because it’s my fault,” the former president said Thursday. “I tried to reform Social Security before reforming immigration.

After years of political fights and months of delays due to the coronavirus pandemic, New Jersey will become the 14th state allowing the state’s 450,000 undocumented residents to obtain standard driver’s licenses and non-driver identification cards. Nearly 750,000 people will be affected by the law, which passed in December 2019 and will also benefit certain senior citizens, formerly incarcerated residents, transgender people whose documents may not match their given gender identity, domestic violence

Based on the reaction he received as he spoke to the GOP convention in Utah, it looks like Mitt Romney has exhausted the reservoir of goodwill he enjoyed thanks to his saving of the 2002 Winter Olympics from financial disaster. I always assumed that the reason he enjoyed electoral victory when he ran for the Senate from the Beehive State, after having been born and raised in Michigan and making his career in Massachusetts, where he amassed a fortune and served as governor.

As soon as government started controlling the behavior of people under the justification of COVID fear, there was a natural conclusion evident to the issues.(Snip)The leftist pattern of framing your demand for individual freedom and liberty as selfish, has permeated throughout the COVID narrative.(Snip)The argument is actually quite silly. If your vaccine protects you from COVID; and if the vaccine actually does do what the government and media tell you it does; then why would you be worried about someone else’s vaccine status? If the vaccine works, presumably you are protected; my not being vaccinated does not increase your risk or pose a threat.

Just days after Disneyland has reopened with an update to its Snow White attraction, the move is already receiving backlash. [SNIP] However, it's the "true love's kiss" grand finale between Snow White and her prince that is drawing scrutiny from the San Francisco Gate. "The new grand finale of Snow White's Enchanted Wish is the moment when the Prince finds Snow White asleep under the Evil Queen's spell and gives her "true love's kiss" to release her from the enchantment," the outlet writes. "A kiss he gives to her without her consent, while she's asleep, which cannot possibly be true love if only one person knows it's happening."

A majority of Americans believe basic voter ID requirements, such as requiring a valid photo ID prior to casting a ballot, would make elections “more fair,” despite the steady stream of mischaracterizations from top Democrats, who contend that such requirements are oppressive and akin to the Jim Crow era. The survey provided a series of potential rules a state could implement regarding voting and asked respondents to rate if the suggested rule would make elections “more fair,” “less fair,” or the same. Notably, 64 percent of respondents said requiring voters to provide photo identification before casting a ballot would make elections “more fair,” compared to
