more home appliances
Posted By: Imright, 7/24/2023 10:01:56 PM
The Biden administration's newest crackdown on home appliances, specifically water heaters, would take effect in 2029 if its regulatory proposal is enacted as it continues to implement its aggressive energy efficiency campaign. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Monday acknowledged the president was going after home appliances. The newest target is water heaters. A Department of Energy (DOE) proposal released late Friday said new regulations would ultimately "accelerate deployment" of electric heat pump water heaters, claiming it would save Americans billions of dollars and reduce carbon emissions.

Former President Donald Trump "may die in prison given his age" if he "is found guilty and does not strike some kind of a sentencing deal," Paul Collins, a legal studies and political science professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, said on Saturday.
In a new superseded indictment unsealed on Thursday, the Department of Justice's (DOJ) special counsel Jack Smith unveiled three additional criminal charges against Trump related to his alleged mishandling of classified documents and his alleged efforts to obstruct investigators' efforts to return them to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). Smith previously indicted Trump on 37 counts, including 31 counts of willful retention of

Mexico City—Mexico’s president said Thursday that he has offered to buy an American company’s Caribbean coast property for about $385 million to end a bitter, years-long dispute.
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said a formal offer would be presented to Alabama-based Vulcan Materials. The company operated gravel extraction pits at the Yucatan peninsula site before López Obrador’s administration closed them.
The company said it had not yet received the president’s proposal or responded to the idea. In papers filed for a case before an international arbitration panel, Vulcan Materials valued the almost 6,000-acre (2,400 hectare) property, located just south of the resort town of Playa del Carmen, at $1.9 billion.

Tokyo—Toshihiro Mutsuda was only 5 years old when he last saw his father, who was drafted by Japan’s Imperial Army in 1943 and killed in action. For him, his father was a bespectacled man in an old family photo standing by a signed good-luck flag that he carried to war.
On Saturday, when the flag was returned to him from a U.S. war museum where it had been on display for 29 years, Mutsuda, now 83, said: “It’s a miracle.”
The flag, known as “Yosegaki Hinomaru,” or Good Luck Flag, carries the soldier’s name, Shigeyoshi Mutsuda, and the signatures of his relatives, friends and neighbors wishing him luck.
On Friday night, a judge dismissed former President Donald Trump's lawsuit against CNN in which the current 2024 front-runner for the Republican nomination claimed CNN’s coverage of his election lies equated him to Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany.
Judge Raag Singhal, a Trump-appointed judge, ruled that CNN referring to Trump’s claims about the election being stolen as “The Big Lie” did not meet the criteria for defamation despite Trump’s belief to the contrary. "There is no question that the statements made by CNN meet the publication requirement for defamation under Florida law," Singhal wrote. "The next question is whether the statements were false statements of fact.
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito removed all doubt about how the US Supreme Court would respond to efforts by progressive politicians to dictate its internal workings. Alito said, “I know this is a controversial view, but I’m willing to say it, no provision in the Constitution gives them the authority to regulate the Supreme Court—period.”Justice Alito says he voluntarily follows disclosure statutes that apply to lower-court judges and executive-branch officials; so do the other justices. But he notes that “Congress did not create the Supreme Court”—the Constitution did.
On March 3, an illegal bio lab was discovered in a believed-to-be vacant building in Reedley, California in Fresno County. City code enforcement stumbled upon the building in December 2022 when they discovered a garden hose running up into the building through a hole in the wall. In March, they obtained a warrant to inspect the property, and in April, the Fresno County Department of Public Health ordered an inspection of the facility. Investigators inspected the building that contained the lab in July and found a room used to make COVID-19 tests and pregnancy tests. They also found over 35 freezers and refrigeration units
On Friday’s edition of NBC’s “Hallie Jackson Now,” NBC News Chief White House Correspondent Peter Alexander reacted to President Joe Biden finally acknowledging the existence of his seventh grandchild in public by stating that “it really is on-brand with the President to acknowledge his entire family, to embrace family,” and stated that the move is partially a move for Biden “to inoculate himself against the criticism” he received for not acknowledging the child.
Alexander said that President Biden is “in some ways, trying to inoculate himself against the criticism that he hasn’t been acknowledging this seventh grandchild, now doing it publicly. And it really is on-brand with the President
Former President Donald Trump made a rare appearance at an event with other presidential candidate to tell an Iowa crowd that 'there is only one candidate' who can 'win the election big.'
Trump was the final speaker at the Republican Party of Iowa's Lincoln Dinner, which was attended by 13 Republican hopefuls, each only given 10 minutes to speak.
It was clear that the ex-president won the crowd - receiving standing ovations and more applause than any other candidate - with the only Republican to bring up Trump's legal turmoil booed offstage.

to Only Fly the American Flag Over Government Buildings 11 replies
Senate Republicans recently introduced a measure which would forbid the flying of any flag except the American flag over government buildings. Only ONE Democrat voted for it and it missed passage by just one vote.
The Democrats voted against this for obvious reasons. The LGBT lobby wields a massive amount of power in the Democrat party, and Senate Democrats know who their masters are.
Congratulations to Senator Joe Manchin for being the sole Dem vote.(Snip) On Thursday, Senate Democrats voted against a Republican-introduced measure that would have forbidden the federal government from flying any flag other than the American flag over government buildings.
As Fox News reports, the measure in question
The Biden Crime Family – and possibly Joe Biden himself – are hiding money in offshore bank accounts.
Fox News host Jesse Watters reported IRS whistleblowers have documents suggesting the Biden Crime Family has offshore bank accounts.
“With Joe [Biden], I suspect there are offshore accounts,” House Oversight Chairman James Comer said on Thursday.
James Comer also revealed that six major banks, including JP Morgan, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo, had submitted over 170 suspicious activity reports (SARs) to the Treasury Department, all concerning alleged criminal behavior by the Biden crime family.
This was the week Joe Biden's rotten House Of Cards began teetering on the brink of collapse. While Netflix's fictional U.S. President Kevin Spacey was found not guilty of sex charges by a jury in London, in another courtroom 3,500 miles away the web of lies and secrecy around alleged corruption in the Biden family was unravelling spectacularly.
A judge in Delaware threw out a disgraceful sweetheart deal which would have seen Biden's degenerate son Hunter walking free after pleading guilty to tax evasion, gun and drug charges, which would normally have led to serious jail time.
Judge Maryellen Noreika refused to rubber-stamp an incredibly lenient plea bargain agreement

Martha’s Vineyard law enforcement appears to have left a significant void in the details surrounding the tragic drowning of Obama’s private chef, Tafari Campbell.
The call log of the 911 distress call, received on the night of the accident, conspicuously omits the reason for the call, Daily Mail reported. Tafari Campbell, 45, met his tragic end while paddle boarding on Great Edgartown Pond, Martha’s Vineyard, on Sunday night. He was reportedly not alone, but local police have yet to disclose the other person’s identity.
Be afraid. Be very, very afraid. United Nations chief Antonio Guterres on Thursday night rolled out some of his most apocalyptic climate rhetoric to date declaring “the era of global warming has ended, the era of global boiling has arrived.”

Washington- Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell has repeatedly said he is “fine” since he froze up midsentence during a press conference on Wednesday. And now his office is trying to tamp down speculation that he might not fill out his term as leader because of his health.
In a statement, his office said McConnell appreciates the continued support of his colleagues and “plans to serve his full term in the job they overwhelmingly elected him to do.”
The statement, first reported by Politico, comes after McConnell, 81, has suffered health problems in recent months. At his weekly press conference, he froze and stared vacantly for about 20 seconds before
Republicans reacted with fury to the 'coincidental' timing of a bombshell new indictment against former President Donald Trump.
Special Counsel Jack Smith's team of prosecutors added additional charges in to the 32-count indictment the former president was already facing for keeping classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate Thursday evening.
Among the new charges are allegations that the former president allegedly told aides to 'wipe' security footage from his Florida club's server as a way to foil investigators probing the removal of classified documents from the White House.
Joe Biden will retreat to his Rehoboth Beach compound in Delaware for the next 10 days while his corrupt DOJ works to jail Trump.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters about feeble Joe’s plans to hide in Rehoboth Beach during a gaggle aboard Air Force One on Friday.

Barack Obama was “heartbroken” over the drowning of his chef Tafari Campbell, but has said nary a word about him since he drowned on Sunday. Sasha and Malia Obama flew off to California on Tuesday and Michelle, appropriately dressed in black, played tennis on Wednesday “but only for an hour.” (snip) There has been no obituary for Tafari in any paper, no notification of a funeral -- not even in his hometown paper of Dumfries, VA. (snip) Edgartown, MA police still have not identified the 911 caller, but one story revealed that it was a female.
Joe Biden on Friday delivered remarks at Auburn Manufacturing Inc in Auburn, Maine.
Biden absurdly claimed, “Wages are up after being adjusted for inflation.”
Real wages are down 3% since Joe Biden was installed in January 2021.
He also claimed he cut the national debt by $1.7 trillion. This is a brazen lie.
Biden cracked a joke about an impeachment inquiry being floated by Speaker McCarthy and House Republicans.“Republicans may have to find something else to criticize me for now that inflation is coming down. Maybe they’ll decide to impeach me because it is coming down. I don’t know. I love that one, uh, anyway, that’s another story…” Biden said.
Hunter Biden continues to be a "good standing" member of the Washington, D.C. Bar despite facing multiple criminal charges and violating the organization's rules of professional conduct. (snip) According to the D.C. Bar website, Biden remains a member in "good standing," despite the rules of professional conduct stating that it is misconduct for a lawyer to "commit a criminal act that reflects adversely on the lawyer’s honesty, trustworthiness, or fitness as a lawyer in other respects." The rules also explain that "many kinds of illegal conduct reflect adversely on fitness to practice law, such as offenses involving fraud and the offense of willful failure to file an income tax return."
Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Friday the Department of Homeland Security denied his request for Secret Service protection.
“Since the assassination of my father in 1968, candidates for president are provided Secret Service protection. But not me,” he wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Typical turnaround time for pro forma protection requests from presidential candidates is 14-days. After 88-days of no response and after several follow-ups by our campaign, the Biden Administration just denied our request.”
Kennedy also included a quote from DHS Secretary Mayorkas: "I have determined that Secret Service protection for Robert F Kennedy Jr is not warranted at this time."

This morning I take a crack at debunking the climate narrative and you won’t believe what they haven’t been telling us (Snip)
Surely you’ve seen all the climate hysteria lately, and probably seen lots of counter argument. But there are some things they haven’t been telling us, that are in themselves complete explanations for any increased world temperatures we might be living through this summer. It’s not carbon dioxide, as crypto-marxist, faux protest group “Extinction Rebellion” wants you to think:
Let’s meet the historic, record-shattering Hunga Tonga volcanic eruption of 2022, which I bet you never heard of.
US President Joe Biden on Friday publicly acknowledged his seventh grandchild for the first time — a four-year-old girl his son Hunter fathered with an Arkansas woman — after Republican criticism of his failure to recognize her.
“This is not a political issue, it’s a family matter,” the president said in a statement to People magazine about the girl, Navy Joan Roberts.“Our son Hunter and Navy’s mother, Lunden, are working together to foster a relationship that is in the best interests of their daughter, preserving her privacy as much as possible going forward.”
