The operator of California’s power grid is advising state residents to prepare for rolling outages because of a heatwave. Governor Gavin Newsom constantly brags about the state’s commitment to green energy, but he can’t even keep the power on. How will they power all the electric cars once they ban gas-powered vehicles if they can’t keep the power on? (Snip) BREAKING: California’s grid operator has just issued a level 2 energy emergency alert, upgrading from level 1 issued earlier. @California_ISO is now advising Californias to “be ready for potential rotating power outages” this evening as electricity demand may hit all time high.

There is no excuse for running out of energy. Cook a Green for dinner tonight.

Democrat fantasy, meet reality. Democrats live in a fantasyland. The problem is they demand everyone else live there, too.

Does anyone in that state have any common sense? They have energy alerts and are thrusting EV's on people. How do they plan to charge the bloody things?

There is nothing wrong using fossil fuel for energy. It is a great resource right here in our country under the ground. It is readily available, economical and dependable. Fracking has made retrieval easier and cleaner and can make the U.S. energy independent with enough to export on the world market. It is not detrimental to the environment as the left wants everyone to think. Listen to a bunch of green activists with an agenda and a Swedish teenager and sit in the dark while freezing or burning depending on the season.

California voters will NOT vote these "green" politicians out of office until their energy and water shortages get much worse, and the shortages WILL get much worse. California residents are in for many years of energy and water shortage problem shocks beyond their wildest imaginations. If the politicians started today to - as soon as possible - correct the laws and regulations that are affirmatively causing these shortages, it will be years before these shortages are eliminated.

She doesn't understand why that's an accurate commentary on Newsom's energy policy. Just doesn't get it. Thankful there's a state that's clearly demonstrating the failure of 'green' energy and other equally lousy reforms.

Californians are the most self absorbed people I have met and that inward perspective makes them ignorant, stupid by choice also fits. Some of their largest generation plants burn portable oil recovered off the coast, not plentiful coal that rail ships to ports to foreign destinations or pipeline natural gas. Then they bankrupt the northern electric utility for a fire caused by environmental regulation. And 74% voted to retain Pelosi's nephew? The bay area fascist Democrat propagandists deserve the decline.

Cast your mind back to Thanksgiving in 2020 and 2021, when J. Edgar Fauci was telling us that we could only have something like six people over for dinner, preferably eating outside, and all socially-distanced by at least twelve turkey-lengths, or 0.2 furlongs or something. Someone promptly produced a meme of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer saying, “No one is going to tell me how many people I can have for dinner on Thanksgiving!” Tasteless and sick, to be sure. Also pretty funny. And not really new. I remember that after the initial shock and horror of Dahmer’s crimes were discovered 25 years ago, the comics got to work with tasteless jokes

Pennsylvania Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman has made criminal justice reform a big part of his campaign. As lieutenant governor, Fetterman oversees the board of pardons and called it his “bully pulpit” for criminal justice reform. But what kind of “reform” is Fetterman looking to enact? In January, he named long-time criminal justice reform advocate Celeste Trusty to serve as secretary of the board. Trusty has repeatedly bragged about her “friendship” with Mumia Abu-Jamal, who murdered Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner in 1981. Freeing Abu-Jamal because of his “wrongful conviction” has been a radical left cause for everyone from the pope to pop stars so it’s not surprising

EAGLE, Colorado -- There is something going on here in Colorado politics that is not much different than what happened in Virginia exactly one year ago: a shift away from the status quo and the odds-on favorite Democrat toward his Republican challenger. Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., is seeking a second full term against Republican challenger Joe O'Dea. And the question, in a state where people tend to dislike both parties but increasingly favor Democrats, is whether O'Dea is independent enough to earn their vote. Democrats viewed O'Dea as enough of a threat that they dropped $10 million into the Republican primary to manipulate voters

If there is anything that has advanced American society, you can be sure that ‘woke’ leftists will destroy it. So it is with Title IX – a one-sentence statute of the Education Amendments of 1972 that ended sex-based discrimination in educational institutions, opened the doors for women aspiring to become doctors, engineers, or experts in any field of choice, brought parity to college sports, and launched the battle against sexual harassment. In this fiftieth year of that landmark law, the Biden administration wants to rewrite it to suit the radical leftist ideology of gender identity and fluidity. This is dangerous because it codifies the spreading gender derangement of the left.

Joe Manchin cast the deciding vote for the so-called Inflation Reduction Act, and it may end up costing him his political career if a new poll is to be believed. Manchin, who had originally pledged not to sign on to any new spending bill during the country’s current inflationary boom, suddenly switched his position at the end of July. The bill he negotiated, which cost nearly a trillion dollars, was full of wasteful green energy subsidies and payouts to special interests. It also represented a stabbing in the back of Republican senators who had trusted him to keep his word about reconciliation after voting for the CHIPS Act.

Palin claims Begich is to be faulted for costing the Republicans the Ione seat. She also told him to drop out of the race and cause no further harm as they are both supposed to face Peltola again in November.

In meetings with senior Ukrainian officials, including President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Blinken said the Biden administration had notified Congress of its intent to provide $2.2 billion in long-term military financing to Ukraine and 18 of its neighbors, including NATO members and regional security partners, that are “potentially at risk of future Russian aggression.” “President (Joe) Biden has been clear we will support the people of Ukraine for as long as it takes,”
