Lawmaker pushes for Chicago to join the
race for 1st offshore wind farm on the
Great Lakes: ‘This is not pie-in-the-sky.’

If state Rep. Marcus Evans has his way, Chicago will enter the race to build the first offshore wind farm on the Great Lakes. Evans has introduced a bill that lays the groundwork for a proposed wind farm in Lake Michigan, about 10 miles from the shores of the Southeast Side. The bill sets up a fund that would help the state to compete for federal money, including $230 million for port infrastructure projects available from the U.S. Department of Transportation. Illinois would enter the race behind Ohio — where the Icebreaker wind farm in Lake Erie recently won a court battle that should allow construction of a demonstration project

Lightfoot, Foxx for crime wave: 'The criminals

Chicago - Fox News political analyst Gianno Caldwell lost his brother on the streets of Chicago and he has been pushing for accountability and answers to help make the city safer.
Caldwell held an exclusive "Fox & Friends" interview with Democratic State Rep. La Shawn K. Ford, who is pleading with Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx to get tougher on crime. (Snip) "The Democratic Party of Chicago has protected Kim Foxx. They've protected Lori Lightfoot, so him speaking out against the both of them, him slamming them, is really a danger to his career.
The NYPD released a memo ordering cops not to “congregate” or take part in “unnecessary conversation” with each other — just weeks after Mayor Eric Adams chastised officers on the street for chatting on the job, The Post has learned
The order dated Tuesday marks a revision to the patrol guide for officers and supervisors — instructing them to ensure cops aren’t gathering together.
“Do not congregate, or engage in unnecessary conversation, with other members of the service while on post, absent police necessity,” the order states, addressing police officers. (Snip) “The order is unnecessary,” Police Benevolent Association president Patrick Lynch said. “Pretty soon there won’t be enough cops left to congregate
Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin delivered an emotional speech on Wednesday, touting her job performance and defending her right to have a private life after leaked videos showed the leader dancing and partying wildly.
“I am also human,” Finnish media quoted Marin as saying with a broken voice and red eyes. The 36-year-old politician insisted she has always been committed to her job serving the people of Finland. “This week has not been easy. It has been difficult. But I want to believe that people look at the work we do, not what we do in our free time.”

Critics took aim at progressive activist Nina Turner after she took to social media to claim taxpayers wouldn't be on the hook for a proposed plan to forgive federal student loans.
"Tell me you don't know where the federal government gets its money from without saying you don't know where the federal government gets its money from," conservative commentator Tim Young said in response to Turner's post Sunday. (Snip) "FYI—Student debt cancelation isn’t paid for by the taxpayers, the federal government is the lender," Turner said on Twitter Sunday. "It’s costlier for the government to hold on to the debt.
In an interview Wednesday, the president of USA Gymnastics announced plans to boycott states that have limited abortion because pro-life views do not align with USAG’s values.
Speaking with the Associated Press, USAG president Li Li Leung said abortion laws will be a major factor in whether a state is chosen to host future events. (Snip) Leung stepped into her role as the head of USA Gymnastics in 2019 with the hope of rebuilding trust in the organization after it allowed a pedophile USAG team doctor Larry Nassar and other pedophiles to molest hundreds of young gymnasts for decades.
Should we hold mothers responsible when their children are abused by another adult? A growing number of activists and journalists believe the answer is no. They argue that because the mothers are often themselves being abused that it’s unfair to punish them — either by incarceration or by removing children from their custody — for the actions of these men.(Snip) Those experiencing the real dystopia are the children. The one person who is supposed to protect them from predatory adults has chosen over and over to place them in harm’s way. And now more people want to ensure they will never be rescued.
Europe’s wishful thinking in going green has landed it in hot water — or maybe cold water, since it’s now short on energy for heating. And that’s got Germany reversing course.
Leaders there last week said they now plan to keep the country’s last three nuclear plants running, at least temporarily, to avoid having to divert natural gas for electricity. That pauses a years-long march away from nuclear power that’s backed by much of the German public (even though nuclear-energy production emits virtually no greenhouse gases). (Snip) It’s an important lesson for President Joe Biden, Gov. Kathy Hochul and other climate warriors: Setting arbitrary deadlines for carbon neutrality and simply assuming

More than a dozen years ago, as Democrats began the process that led to Obamacare, Barack Obama noted that “the chronically ill and those toward the end of their lives are accounting for potentially 80 percent of the total health care bill out there.” He then called for doctors and ethicists to participate in “a very difficult democratic conversation that takes place” about all of this spending on vulnerable patients at the end of their lives. (Snip) Canada has normalized euthanasia and a culture of death, in some cases as a way for the health system to save on expensive medical care.
The Democrats' "Inflation Reduction Act" - which according to the Congressional Budget Office will raise taxes on the middle class to the tune of $20 billion - not to mention unleash an army of IRS agents on working class Americans over the next decade, was made possible by Bill Gates and (in smaller part) Larry Summers, who have been known to hang out together. (Snip) Gates looks back at the new law with satisfaction. He achieved what he set out to do. “I will say that it's one of the happier moments of my climate work,” Gates said. “I have two things that excite me about climate work.

Chicago (CBS) -- The final two weeks of summer break is upon us for Chicago Public School students.
As they eek out the last bit of summer fun, those in charge of running the schools are racing to fill positions. CBS 2's Chris Tye reports on the shortage of educators statewide, (Snip) Four months ago, Governor JB Pritzker signed a series of bills addressing teacher shortages to lure in applicants. Teacher License Renewals dropped $500 to $50. Subs can now teach 15 days in a row when it used to be five. A Bachelor's degree is no longer required. Now you can teach with 90 Hours of college education.
Jeff Bezos’ unfinished mega yacht was towed away from a Dutch shipbuilding yard before dawn Tuesday just weeks after Rotterdam residents threatened to pelt the luxury vessel with eggs if the city went through with plans to dismantle a landmark bridge to make way for the $500 million ship.
The 417-foot long, three-masted yacht, which goes by the name Y721, was relocated from the Oceanco shipyard in Alblasserdam to the Greenport yard just 24 miles away in Rotterdam, (Snip) “When I was standing on one of the bridges, they shined a searchlight on me, so it wasn’t easy for me to take pictures.”

After yet another cancelled launch on Saturday, NASA's Artemis 1 rocket will not lift off during this launch period, which ends on Tuesday, likely pushing the date back to October.
Jim Free, associate administrator for NASA's Exploration Systems Development Mission Directorate, said 'we will not be launching in this period,' as the agency is 'not where we wanted to be.'
NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said the shuttle was sent back to the Vehicle Assembly Building 20 times before the attempted launch.
'The cost of two scrubs is a lot less than a failure,' said Nelson.
President Joe Biden leads former President Donald Trump by 6 points in a 2024 hypothetical matchup, a Wall Street Journal poll found Friday.
The poll asked respondents, “Hypothetically, if the 2024 election for President were held today and the candidates were Joe Biden, the Democrat, and Donald Trump, the Republican, for whom would you vote?” Fifty percent chose Biden, while only 44 percent selected Trump. Six percent were undecided. In March, the poll had both Biden and Trump tied at 45 percent with nine percent undecided. In November, the poll had Biden leading by one point (46-45 percent) with 10 percent undecided.
During a portion of an interview aired on Friday’s broadcast of “The Issue Is,” Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm praised California’s proposal to ban the sale of new gas-powered vehicles by 2035 and said the plan “could be” a national model, but acknowledged that the price of electric vehicles has to come down and the power grid has to be expanded.
Host Elex Michaelson asked, “California made national headlines by becoming the first state to say, by 2035, we’re not going to have any gas-powered vehicles that are new that are being sold. You can still drive your old ones, but you can’t sell new ones. Do you like this concept?”

Establishment Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell recently did his best to “sabotage” Republicans' chances of re-taking the Senate when he implied that the “quality” of the anti-establishment Trump-supporting Republican Senate candidates is subpar:
“I think there’s probably a greater likelihood the House flips than the Senate. Senate races are just different [because] candidate quality has a lot to do with the outcome,” he said.

MSNBC’s Tiffany Cross along with her hate-filled guests on Saturday doubled down on Joe Biden’s attacks on millions of Trump supporters.
Joe Biden Thursday evening delivered the most divisive and evil speech in US history.
The imagery was shocking.
The red glow.

MSNBC guest Roland Martin on Saturday demonized millions of Trump supporters.
“We are at war with these people. These folks are evil. They have allowed evil into their house with Donald Trump,” Roland Martin said.
Even though yours truly took a two-week hiatus from his weekly documentation of supreme stupidity, knuckleheadedness itself did not take a vacation. In fact, the phenomenon was clearly working as feverishly as ever, then switched into overdrive this week. Up until Thursday evening, the front runner for Knucklehead of the Week had been President Joe Biden’s Press Secretary, the inestimable Karine Jean-Pierre. But after Thursday’s bizarre, occult-like speech from Mr. Biden, our Commander-in-Chief sealed the deal as we bestow the honor upon him for a record sixth time. Congratulations, Mr. President, how proud you must be.

Forty-eight empty file folders marked “classified” were included on a detailed list of what the FBI took from Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. The list was unsealed by district judge Aileen Cannon during a hearing in federal court on Thursday.
Following the release, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), a member of the Jan 6 Committee, appeared on CNN’s “The Situation Room” with guest host Brianna Keilar, speculating about the former contents of those empty folders and where they might be. [Video]
“As a citizen, I would just ask the question, where are the files? Where did they go? And which ones of Donald Trump’s friends in the United States

Dan Rather asked this question today and it seems to be resonating with a lot of people. His comment has 34k likes so far. The replies are full of messages like this one: There’s even a #CNNIsTheNewFox hashtag circulating. The cause of the immediate outburst isn’t very clear but my best guess is that Rather was reacting to this bit of news from John Harwood: There’s even a #CNNIsTheNewFox hashtag circulating.

Vladimir Putin last night sparked a fresh energy war with the West as he kept Europe's gas pipeline closed after the G7 agreed an oil price cap to choke his war chest. Moscow blamed 'oil leaks' in a turbine after announcing the Nord Stream 1 pipeline, which runs to Germany under the Baltic Sea, would not reopen today as planned after three days of maintenance. Sparking fears of fuel prices rising yet further, state energy firm Gazprom said the facility would remain closed indefinitely until the leaks were fixed. The announcement came hours after Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi agreed with the world's richest democracies to try and slash the Kremlin's
