Biden snubs oil execs, glad-hands wind
companies: ‘We’re about to build a
better America’

President Biden met with offshore wind industry executives Thursday after snubbing oil executives summoned to Washington to come up with “concrete solutions” to combat skyrocketing gas prices. Mr. Biden, who has committed to fighting climate change by steering the U.S. away from fossil fuels and toward clean energy, is now battling skyrocketing prices at the pump which critics say is partly due to his policies. The wind energy rendezvous, which included senior administration officials, labor leaders, and several East Coast governors, marked the White House’s launch of a new federal-state offshore wind partnership meant to “jumpstart the American offshore wind industry.” “We’re about to build a better America,”

A group of 68 journalists sent a rare protest letter to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre Thursday asking that President Biden’s staff abandon a mysterious pre-screening process and reopen large events to all journalists. The letter signers include prominent TV correspondents, famed veteran reporters and leaders of the White House Correspondents’ Association opposed to restrictions on venues such as the East Room that in past administrations were “open press.” Biden aides have refused to tell the White House Correspondents’ Association the selection criteria and individual reporters have received an array of conflicting explanations, resulting in a widespread belief that the practice is meant to shape the variety

A group of climate activists has started a campaign to randomly slash tires of parked SUVs across the U.S. in an effort to curb greenhouse gas emissions. The Tyre Extinguishers—a group that originated in the U.K. and has expanded to various European nations—conducted its first "action" in New York City this week. The group vowed to conduct similar operations in cities nationwide.(Snip)On Tuesday, the Tyre extinguishers celebrated "disarming" 40 SUVs in New York City's Upper East Side neighborhood.

What can you say about governments that, in the midst of a global food crisis, choose instead to feed machines? You might say they were crazy, uncaring or cruel. But these words scarcely suffice when you seek to describe the burning of food while millions starve.
There’s nothing complicated about the effects of turning crops into biofuel.(Snip)All the major crop sources of biodiesel have a higher climate impact than the fossil fuels they replace. Rapeseed oil causes 1.2 times as much global heating, soy oil twice as much, palm oil three times. The same goes for ethanol made from wheat. Yet this consideration hasn’t stopped the reopening
The Minnesota city of St. Paul is looking to combine the federal funds it received during the COVID-19 pandemic with private donations to expand its guaranteed basic income program for struggling families. Pending city council approval in July, the $4 million in coronavirus relief grants, plus $1 million from philanthropists, will go to 666 families eligible for the next phase of the city’s income program called College Bound Boost, the Twin Cities Pioneer Press reported.(Snip)In the new program, half of the families will get $1,000 added to each of their children’s College Bound St. Paul savings accounts, while the other half will get the same $1,000 for college
House Republicans signaled on Thursday that the exploding crime rate in the District of Columbia might warrant congressional intervention if Mayor Muriel Bowser does not get serious about combating violence. GOP lawmakers on the House Judiciary and Oversight committees say that Ms. Bowser needs to be held accountable for crime spiking by 11% over the past year. “All Americans should feel safe in their capital city, but radical left-wing policies have enabled rampant crime in the District of Columbia,” said Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, the top Republican on the Oversight Committee.(Snip)“For over a year, Republicans have raised concerns about D.C.’s soaring crime and deteriorating conditions
Kentucky's 2022 Teacher of the Year has quit his high school over accusations that he was grooming children in a student-run LGBTQ club. Willie Carver Jr., who is openly gay, said he felt pushed out of Montgomery County High School after ten years by homophobia, describing his time teaching as a gay man in Kentucky as a 'death by a thousand cuts,' according to NBC News.(Snip)He said that during his time he watched administration pull books by black and LGBTQ authors at parents' request, kill a student-run poll intended to take the temperature on the school's LGBTQ inclusivity, and defend students accused of tearing pride posters
A Texas sheriff personally drove four illegal immigrants he’d apprehended back to the US-Mexico border to deport them, insisting he’s been left with no choice given the current border crisis.
Kinney County Sheriff Brad Coe told the Epoch Times the migrants were discovered after a suspected smuggling vehicle his deputies were pursuing crashed on Wednesday morning.(Snip)The sheriff said Border Patrol agents had told him they could only apprehend the four other migrants if they’d been medically assessed at a hospital first. “They had declined any type of medical help,” Coe said of the four uninjured migrants. “So I can’t let them walk the streets.
Bellevue, Wash.—A 31-year-old suspect was arrested Tuesday morning on suspicion of a hate crime and assault after allegedly vandalizing a Bellevue church. The church’s surveillance cameras caught the suspect smashing and spray painting an estimated $10,000 worth of damage at the church and its school. "It's violent, it's an invasion rather than coming to a place hoping to feel peace," said Father Gary Zender with St. Louise Catholic Church.(Snip)Zender said the worst part of Tuesday morning's incident was when the suspect allegedly attacked one of the church's employees. "The individual lunged toward him, tried to hit him with a rock, and he was able to dodge
Nashville, Tenn.—A Oaxaca, Mexico man was arrested Wednesday morning after being sought for the past six years, following his indictment in a conspiracy to file fraudulent federal income tax returns. Attorney Mark H. Wildasin said Claudio Juarez, 40, was arrested at his residence in Bowling Green, Kentucky, Wednesday morning and transported to the Middle District of Tennessee, where he appeared before a United States Magistrate Judge.(Snip)Investigators determined that part of the tax fraud scheme dated back to 2011, and 46 people were ultimately charged and convicted of federal offenses, according to Wildasin. During the investigation, more than $1 million in cash was seized and several late model luxury
A new Spider-Man is coming out—and he’s gay, proud, and fabulous.
Marvel is introducing its first gay Spider-Man, a character named Web-Weaver, in the upcoming “Edge of Spider-Verse #5,″ out in September. Earlier this month, writer Steve Foxe announced on Twitter that he’d “had the huge gay honor of helping to co-create WEB-WEAVER, who’ll make his debut in EDGE OF THE SPIDER-VERSE #5 this September!”(Snip) “His fearlessly femme identity is central to who he is, but it’s not the STORY...which you can experience for yourself in September!
The Biden administration is ramping up efforts to slow the spread of monkeypox by distributing tens of thousands of vaccine doses, after facing criticism over its early response to a US outbreak primarily affecting gay men. The plan, announced on Tuesday, involves rapidly expanding access to doses of Bavarian Nordic's Jynneos vaccine—which has so far been limited—to prevent monkeypox in areas with the highest transmission and need.(Snip)Although the vaccine itself has been approved for use by US regulators, the doses in Denmark were produced on a manufacturing line that is still awaiting Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval, officials said earlier this month.
West Hollywood has voted to slash law enforcement funding, leaving the California city famous for its bustling Sunset Strip nightlife destination with up to five fewer deputies on patrol—despite skyrocketing crime rates in the area. The council passed the budget with a 3-2 vote Monday, with Mayor Lauren Meister and Councilman John Erickson voting against it, reported WeHoville.com. Meanwhile, the West Hollywood City Council approved keeping bars open until 4 a.m. and increased funding for a Russian arts festival. The vote came just three months after the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department reported that crime in West Hollywood jumped a startling 137 percent in February 2022

Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan warned parts of the East Coast could be "swallowed by the ocean" in a dissenting Supreme Court opinion in an environmental regulation case Thursday.
"If the current rate of emissions continues, children born this year could live to see parts of the Eastern seaboard swallowed by the ocean," Kagan wrote in her dissent.
Justices Stephen Breyer and Sonia Sotomayor joined Kagan's dissent in the 6-3 case.
"Today, the Court strips the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of the power Congress gave it to respond to ‘the most pressing environmental challenge of our time,'" Kagan wrote.
President Joe Biden on Thursday said that American motorists should expect to pay elevated prices for gasoline until the Russia–Ukraine war is over.
In a press conference following the NATO summit in Madrid, Biden was questioned about how long people should pay higher gas prices.
“How long is it fair to expect American drivers and drivers around the world to pay a premium for this war?” a New York Times reporter asked Biden.
“As long as it takes,” Biden said in response, “so that Russia cannot in fact defeat Ukraine and move beyond Ukraine.”
“This is a critical, critical position for the world,” he added, again blaming the elevated gas prices on the
It was the gasp heard round the world. "They could run Michelle Obama, and if they do ..." said Monica Crowley before the CPAC 2022 audience reeled audibly in shocked recognition, cutting her off in mid-sentence. Crowley had seen an early screener of my upcoming film and book of the same name, Michelle Obama 2024: Her Real Life Story and Plan for Power, which will be released on July 11. Crowley was not trying to make waves at CPAC. She was trying to send a warning.
The CPAC crowd, and conservatives in general, have failed to realize that the ever present Michelle Obama was

On Thursday, June 23, the Supreme Court released the Bruen decision which settles the pitched battle over whether the Second Amendment assures the God-given right to self-defense by being able to conceal and carry a gun most everywhere but “sensitive areas.”
On Friday, June 24, Rob Bonta, the attorney general of California, one of five entities whose “may issue” or “right of good cause” tests for carrying a gun were found unconstitutional, told law enforcement that its laws were no longer valid.
On Monday, June 27, Bonta’s department leaked the names, home addresses, phone numbers, race, and other personal information of every single concealed carry gun licensee in the state.

This term of the Supreme Court has been a big one for based decisions and here’s another big one.
The Supreme Court sharply curtailed the power of the EPA to regulate greenhouse-gas emissions that cause climate change. In a 6-3 ruling written by Chief Justice John Roberts, the court sided with conservative states and fossil-fuel companies in adopting a narrow reading of the Clean Air Act.The Court found that Congress had not authorized the EPA to induce a shift toward cleaner energy sources.
“Congress did not grant EPA…the authority to devise emissions caps based on the generation shifting approach
The explosive testimony delivered Tuesday by former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson has driven a rift through alumni of former President Donald Trump's team.
Hutchinson, who served as an aide to former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, outlined to the Jan. 6 select committee a pattern of concerning, erratic behavior by Trump and some of his closest advisers on and in the lead-up to the day of the Capitol riot.
The Washington Examiner spoke to more than a dozen former Trump administration staffers, including a number who were still serving in the White House on Jan. 6,
The serial lying Fox News is not only the number one cable news outlet in America; it is frequently the number one overall cable channel in America.
Why is this allowed to happen?
Why would anyone trust Fox News more than CNNLOL or MSNBC?
If anything, Fox News is worse than CNN and MSNBC.
MSNBC is open about its fascist agenda, and the only lie CNN hides behind is the old trope about being objective.
Fox News has been lying, hoaxing, and hoodwinking millions of good people for more than two decades with its fair and balanced; we’re not like those other guys lie.
During a press conference at the NATO Summit in Madrid, Spain, on Thursday, President Joe Biden condemned the “destabilizing, outrageous behavior” of the U.S. Supreme Court in overturning Roe v. Wade.
The high court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization that overruled Roe returns abortion regulation to each state to determine individually.
Abortion provisions in blue states, where Biden may retain some modicum of popularity, remain unchanged and may wind up even being expanded. Some employers have vowed to pay for the travel expenses to enable employees to go to another state to terminate a pregnancy.
The military is facing the worst recruiting environment since the end of the Vietnam War.
The Army is at only 40% of its recruiting numbers for the fiscal year despite raising its maximum enlistment bonus from $40,000 to $50,000. It now offers new recruits up to $10,000 for showing up to basic training in 30 days. And is no longer even asking them for a high school diploma.
"We've never offered $50,000 to join the Army," Maj. Gen. Kevin Vereen, head of U.S. Army Recruiting Command, said.
While the Army runs anime lesbian wedding ads, it’s pushing away the recruits it needs, young patriotic men from traditional backgrounds.
Vasectomy clinics are reportedly seeing a sharp rise in men booking appointments since Roe v. Wade was overturned last week.
Despite no data readily available to confirm this trend, urologists nationwide are noticing a sudden increase in bookings – with some even saying they are now booked until the end of August.
One Iowa urologist noted a 200 to 250 percent increase in bookings at his clinic, while a Los Angeles urologist saw a 300 to 400 percent rise in bookings, the Washington Post reported.
However, one Kansas City urologist reported a whopping “900 percent” spike in men seeking to undergo the sterilizing procedure.

Comments:
President Trump could not build a border wall, in large part because the Republicans fought him tooth and nail before they lost their majority 2 years in, and in part because very naively he played by the rules. Meanwhile, Barack Hussein Obama, using Feeble Joe as a hand puppet, is remaking the entire US energy sector however he pleases and we get to pay for it all, achieving the various objectives of breaking the treasury, destroying personal wealth, crippling the USA internationally, and enriching favored "investors" including politicians and other government insiders.
