A German energy company is dismantling a wind farm to allow for an adjacent coal mine to expand its operations, officials said. The German coal mine Garzweiler, operated by energy company RWE, admits the situation appears to be "paradoxical" — sacrificing one energy source for another — but defended the decision as necessary to strengthen supplies amid the ongoing energy crisis, Oilprice.com reported. "We realize this comes across as paradoxical," RWE spokesperson Guido Steffen said in a statement. "But that is as matters stand."

It’s all hands on deck to save Democrat Pennsylvania Senate hopeful John Fetterman from himself after his historic implosion during Tuesday’s debate with his GOP rival Dr. Mehmet Oz and the party’s propagandists are frantically trying to put Humpty Dumpty back together again to mitigate the damage.
Fetterman’s performance was a nightmare scenario for the party and the corrupt, partisan media is pulling out all stops to spin the debacle with the narrative now being pushed that the hulking lieutenant governor’s inability to form coherent thoughts and sentences despite having a closed captioning system provided to him was a heroic effort due to his being a stroke survivor,

“A year later, Lower 48 and Washington, DC, dark money have spent more on your behalf than both of our campaigns have spent combined.

The stunning and brave decision of Liz Cheney to back a Democrat extends the tradition of the Trump-afflicted spurning conservatives.
Word has come out that the exiled Liz Cheney has lent her support to a candidate for the upcoming midterm election. Elissa Slotkin in Michigan has excitedly announced Liz will appear on her behalf on Tuesday. She might want to rethink this “big news”, as far as her campaign is concerned.
Cheney has been roundly booted from her post as a Republican representative of Wyoming, a thorough repudiation as she was an incumbent who suffered the worst primary defeat seen in generations.
The first British coins featuring the likeness of King Charles III are being minted. The 50 pence coin is to be struck at The Royal Mint in Wales.
The image on the coin was created by sculptor Martin Jennings, who said he spent months on crafting the image using photos of King Charles III from his 70th birthday.
"It has to be an exact portrait but also that says something about the lasting values of the institution he represents," Jennings said. "In subtle and tiny ways, you can put these things across."
The king's coin image won't include a crown

There’s too much violence, political violence, too much hatred, too much vitriol,” Biden said at the start of remarks to Pennsylvania Democrats.“And what makes us think that one party can talk about stolen elections, COVID being a hoax, that it’s all a bunch of lies, and it not affect people who may not be so well balanced,” Biden continued.
