The Securities and Exchange Commission unveiled a landmark proposal Monday that would require publicly traded companies to disclose emissions data and risks posed by climate change. The proposal, which must undergo a 60-day public comment period before the SEC makes it final, would be a first of its kind and mark yet another arena where the Biden administration hopes to combat a warming climate. It also underscores the administration’s concerns about climate change’s potential impacts on the economy. The idea faced immediate pushback from Republican lawmakers and industry groups. They said the regulators had overstepped their authority and would spread confusion through corporate offices and on Wall Street.
In January, Minneapolis Public Schools students stayed home for two weeks as the omicron COVID-19 variant surged and schools shuttered. This month, schools have closed for another two weeks – and counting – because of a teacher strike. (Snip) "I think you are going to see more militant teacher strikes over the next couple of years," said Jon Shelton, a University of Wisconsin-Green Bay professor who studies teachers unions. The heaviest COVID-19 wave is subsiding, but two years of pandemic teaching have taken a toll. Educators are navigating health protocols, staff shortages, students' academic challenges, parents' frustrations and national criticism of how
While Joe Biden doesn’t do much in the way of solving any problems, I do have to say that he’s certainly is active — along with his administration — in spreading propaganda and the Democratic narrative on a variety of issues. We saw how his White House reached out to “brief” about 30 TikTok “influencers” on the Russian war against Ukraine. We later saw the result of that “briefing”, which was about selling why it was Vladimir Putin’s fault that the gas prices were going up, not Joe Biden.
On Monday, according to the White House, Biden met with “16 CEOs of major companies across several industries
The confirmation hearing for Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson began on Capitol Hill on Monday. The prior reactions in the mainstream media were what you’d expect. Namely, endless, slobbering profiles and claims that any questioning of the judge’s record would be racist and out of bounds.
When the time came, Sen. Dick Durbin opened the hearing by pleading with Republicans for “civility.” Of course, Republicans owe Durbin and his party nothing of the sort. After all, it’s been less than four years since one of the most disturbing, disgusting congressional and media spectacles in US history: The Brett Kavanaugh hearings.

When Will the War End?
replies
As the conflict in Ukraine enters its second month, distraught members of the public are bound to ask: ‘when will the war end?’. The honest answer is nobody knows. The actual war in Ukraine may last for months or years; the greater Cold War II of which it is the first skirmish will likely continue for decades, even beyond the lifetime of those reading these words. And it is likely to become more brutal. The heartrending scenes of combat and siege, as with Mariupol, repeat what history endlessly teaches: as combat drags on everyone’s behavior gets uglier,
Desperate families are waiting for news after a Chinese Boeing 737-800 smashed into a mountainside, killing all 132 on board, as experts say the pilot 'may have regained consciousness' after G-forces knocked out the crew 'and tried to save the plunging plane'. China Eastern has grounded all of its Boeing 737-800 aircraft today after 132 people died when their passenger jet crashed in China this morning after suddenly nose-diving and plummeting 30,000ft in two minutes and hitting the ground at 350mph. However, more than 18 hours after communication was lost with the plane, there is still no word about the fate of passengers and crew members - leaving families waiting

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is considering running for the late Rep. Don Young’s seat, she announced on Monday. Young passed away on Friday at 88-years-old. Appearing on Eric Bolling’s The Balance on Newsmax on Monday, Palin signaled that a campaign is not out of the question.(Tweet/Video) “Are you ready to announce a run for that seat?” Bolling asked.“Oh my goodness, think of those huge shoes that are to be filled when we consider Don Young’s longevity and his passion, his love, his fighting spirit for our wonderful state of Alaska and for the nation as a whole,” Palin said.
These are challenging – and suddenly quite deadly — days to be a general leading Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.
Outnumbered, outmatched, and outgunned, after three full weeks of combat, Ukrainian forces have managed to stymie Russian advances across the country, which is about nine-tenths the size of Texas.
Even worse for Russian strategies and morale, nearly a dozen senior officers are believed to have been killed, including five generals, along with what intelligence estimates to be about 7,000 Russian dead. In addition, unconfirmed reports say four more generals have been sacked

Power for Probe into Potential 2020 Election Fraud replies
The Georgia Elections Board granted subpoena power to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Monday to secure evidence into possible illegal ballot harvesting in the 2020 election.In January, Raffensperger announced he would probe a complaint submitted in November by True the Vote, which details digital data of 242 people making visits to drop boxes to dump mail-in ballots.The complaint says about 40 percent of the trips occurred between midnight and 5:00 a.m., an unusual time to drop off ballots. The probe is also looking into whether participants in the scheme were paid $10 for each ballot they dropped in the unsecure dropbox.
WASHINGTON— An elected official from New Mexico went to trial Monday with a judge — not a jury — set to decide if he is guilty of charges that he illegally entered the U.S. Capitol grounds on the day a pro-Trump mob disrupted the certification of Joe Biden’s presidential election victory.U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden is scheduled to hear attorneys’ closing arguments Tuesday for the case against Otero County Commissioner Couy Griffin, whose trial in Washington, D.C., is the second among the hundreds of people charged with federal crimes related to the Jan. 6, 2021, siege.The judge heard testimony Monday from three government witnesses.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said Monday that the central bank may need to get more 'aggressive' with interest rate hikes as inflation is 'much too high.' The Fed raised its benchmark interest rate by a quarter of a percent last week to between 0.25 and 0.5 percent. Officials planned on a series of 0.25 percent increases throughout the remainder of the year that would draw rates up to 2 percent by the end of 2022 and to 2.75 percent next year. 'The labor market is very strong, and inflation is much too high,' Powell said in remarks for the National Association of Business Economics.
President Joe Biden said Monday that Russian President Vladimir Putin's 'back is against the wall,' as he said Russia launched a 'hypersonic missile' at Ukraine in part due to the strength of Ukrainian defenses.'They're wreaking havoc on on the, on the Russian military, whether it's their tanks or their helicopters or their aircraft,' Biden said.He spoke after the Kremlin claimed it used its state-of-the-art military hardware to take out a Ukrainian weapons storage facility.

On Jan. 6, 2021, a protestor, 40-year-old Brady Knowlton, says that an officer at the Capitol told “You can go in, as long as you don’t break anything.” At 2:35 p.m., Knowlton did, entering through the Upper West Terrace doors. He looked around inside the building, walked through the Rotunda, lobby, and Senate chamber gallery, obeyed the officer’s injunction not to break anything, and left the building at 2:53 p.m. For that, Knowlton now faces twenty years in prison in Old Joe Biden’s vengeful banana republic.On top of the possibility of being behind bars until 2042, Knowlton, a law student, has suffered numerous other consequences already.

Many criticized Joe Biden for promising during his presidential campaign that, if given the chance, he’d nominate a black woman to the Supreme Court, effectively making his eventual nominee an affirmative action pick. This pick would forever have to live with the perception that she was chosen primarily for reasons of identity, not her qualifications.And Biden came through on his promise, but Democrats don’t seem to care about fixing that perception.Senator Cory Booker, for example, can’t even discuss the nominee’s qualifications without mentioning her race and gender.

President Joe Biden’s nationwide approval rating is dangerously low at 36 percent, impacting races down-ballot in battleground states, a Monday Civiqs poll revealed.
While 55 percent disapproved of Biden’s performance, independents are majorly dragging down the president’s polling numbers. Among independents, only 24 percent approved of Biden. Sixty-six percent disapproved. The lack of support among independents for Biden is impacting battleground states where Republicans hope to defeat Democrats in November.
In Georgia, a state where Donald Trump narrowly lost to Biden in 2020 by less than half a percent is polling poorly for the president. Only 32 percent of Georgians approved of Biden. Fifty-eight disapproved. Biden’s approval rating in Georgia may greatly impact
If the New York Times poses as America’s newspaper of record, presenting every day’s news through the lens of woke ideology and the Democratic Party narrative, the New Yorker is our flagship “serious” weekly magazine. So when the New Yorker runs a sober 5700-word article about what is arguably, in the minds of our woke brethren, the major issue of the day - namely, trans athletes - it merits notice.

A conservative-themed coffee company is making waves in a competitive industry by catering to a part of America that has long felt ignored.
Going against the grain of traditional coffee culture, the Black Rifle Coffee Company, based in Salt Lake City, is unabashedly pro-law enforcement and pro-Second Amendment. Among its products are the AK-47 espresso, the "Thin Blue Line" medium roast, and the "Coffee, or Die," among many others.
Elon Musk’s extensive business dealings with China have sparked some alarm on Capitol Hill, with some lawmakers questioning whether Beijing could exploit connections with Tesla and SpaceX to gain access to classified information. Republican lawmakers have expressed concern that the Chinese government could attempt to obtain classified information through third-parties, such as SpaceX suppliers based in China. The US and China are locked in intense competition over space technology and American officials have repeatedly accused Beijing of stealing US intellectual property and trade secrets. Rep.

A Boeing 737-800 passenger jet operated by China Eastern Airlines has crashed in rural China, presumably killing all 132 souls aboard. Video of the plane nosediving into the ground and the aftermath has emerged.
As is expected with any video of this kind, viewer discretion is advised. Much is unknown at this point, but I am a commercial multi-engine pilot and a flight instructor so I can add a few points of speculation to ponder.
According to the flight data available, the rapid descent started at around 30,000 feet. That would point to either a structural failure that caused a loss of flight controls or a high-altitude stall

A former Google employee filed a class-action lawsuit in a San Jose, California, federal court Friday alleging systemic bias against black employees and a corporate culture preferring white males, Reuters reported.
The lawsuit, filed by April Curley, says Google places black employees in lower-level jobs, pays them less, and denies them opportunities to grow at the company, Reuters reported. Specifically, Curley states black people make up only 4.4% of employees and about 3% of leadership, according to Reuters. Curley also said Alphabet Inc., the parent company of Google, required black people to show identification or else face questioning at the Mountain View, California campus, Reuters reported.

Shania Twain once had a hit song called “Man! I feel like a woman,” recorded in 1997, which was a celebration of womanhood.
Twenty-five years later, women athletes are singing a different tune, one of dismay over competing against biologic men.
What was once "girl power" is now simply horsepower, the benefits of male puberty and testosterone. In the song, it is, “Men’s shirts, short skirts”, but now it’s women’s swimsuits, long hair, and first place finishes.

For the last five years, the Left—defined as the fusion of the mainstream media, Silicon Valley, the radical new Democratic Party, and the vestigial Hillary Clinton machine—has crafted all sorts of conspiracies to destroy their perceived conservative enemies.
Their method has focused on one major projection: alleging conspiracy on the part of others, which is a kind of confirmation of their own conspiracies to destroy their opponents in general, and Donald Trump in particular.
Now they have been caught admitting to such nefariousness. Apparently, they still are exuberant about their slick shamelessness and simply can’t keep quiet. Or they believe radically changed conditions, such as the implosion of the Biden

The only son of former president Donald Trump and former first lady Melania celebrated his 16th birthday on March 20th. Barron Trump, who like most first children was mostly kept from the public spotlight, has been something of a shock to those who see him in recent photos.
Last summer, it was widely shared that the youngest Trump had ballooned to six-foot-seven. According to some outlets, the average height of a fifteen–year-old male is five-foot-six. Amazingly, at just 16, that means Barron has years of possible growth still. Could he reach seven feet? Most of the Twitter comments were pleasant, which was a rare surprise from the famously intolerant, cesspool-like environment.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed Israeli lawmakers via Zoom in a fiery speech on Sunday, and called on Israel to help prevent a Russian “final solution.”
Zelenskyy told lawmakers: “102 years after the Nazi party was established, on February 24, an order was given for a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine.”
“They are using the terminology of the Nazi party. This is a tragedy. When they wanted to destroy Europe and have it surrender, they didn’t want to leave any of you remaining. And now us. They called it the final solution to the Jewish question,” Zelenskyy said while also criticizing Israel for not arming Ukraine.
No one likes to be called a moron, an imbecile or just plain stupid but if you're a conservative, as I am, you will eventually regard that appellation as a badge of honor for speaking the truth.
In 2016, Hillary Clinton called me deplorable for daring to vote for Donald Trump and consequently that word's meaning has changed from a negative to a positive as it now means someone who disagrees with the left.
I did not vote for Bill Clinton, Barack Obama or Joe Biden but when they won, I certainly didn't fall apart like the Hillary supporters after Donald Trump won in 2016.
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that new variants of COVID could cause America to reinstitute some restrictions.
Discussing the new BA.2 variant of COVID, Fauci said, “It has a degree of transmission advantage over the original Omicron. Not a multi-fold advantage. It’s about 50 to 60% or so more transmissible. It means over time. It might take over as the dominant variant. Throughout the world, it’s about 80 plus percent, 85% of the isolate. In the United States, it’s still around 30%.”

At the end of Fox News Sunday, fill-in host Trace Gallagher set up a "quick back-and-forth" on the New York Times quietly admitting the emails on Hunter Biden's laptop were real. Juan Williams preposterously said "nobody said it wasn't true." That's obviously false. Fox News has been playing 2020 clips of Biden on 60 Minutes saying it was a "smear campaign" and a "hoax" in a debate with Donald Trump. Biden said it was "foul play." Maybe Juan doesn't watch Fox?
As the death toll mounts from Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war against Ukraine, reports are emerging of stealthy treks being made in the night to hide the true cost to Russia’s army of the invasion.In the age of the internet, it is much harder to suppress information, and video footage has emerged that purportedly shows military ambulances moving through Homel, in Belarus, where employees at the regional hospital are saying that over 2,500 bodies of Russian soldiers have been sent back to Russia as of March 13th, reported Daily Mail, citing footage uploaded to Radio Free Europe.
A heart-breaking new video showing the devastation Ukraine has suffered following Russia's invasion has emerged on social media.Titled 'Was', the clip shows footage of lives being lost as buildings are torn down and civilians sob, grieving their loved ones. However in a sign of hope, the video ends with footage of Ukraine's landmarks in better times, and a voiceover remarking that the country 'will win'. (Video/Photo) The narration in the video says: '"Was" - a simple verb. Merely a part of speech used in every day life.'But it's not that simple for us. Because now the everyday Ukrainian simply cannot say "was" without bursting into tears.

Are you better off today under President Joe Biden than you were a year earlier? And are you financially prepared for a downturn in the economy or a job loss? The March I&I/TIPP Poll suggests most Americans would answer “no” to both of those questions.
The poll asked: “Generally speaking, is your family better off today than it was one year ago, worse off than it was one year ago, or about the same as it was a year ago?”
Fewer than one in five (20%) said they were “better off.” while more than twice that number — 42% — said they were “worse off.”

The White House has announced that Dr. Ashish K. Jha will soon replace Jeffrey Zients as the Biden administration’s coronavirus response coordinator. The good news is that Jha, unlike Zients, is an actual physician. The bad news is that, since the advent of COVID-19, his public statements concerning the pandemic have been tainted by partisan politics and malicious ad hominem attacks on any heretic who dares to question establishment coronavirus orthodoxy. Dr. Jha once appeared on The View, for example, to accuse Stanford University’s Dr. Scott W. Atlas of spreading unspecified “misinformation” during the latter’s brief tenure as advisor to then-President Trump.
