President Joe Biden made another move Thursday to push his electric car agenda and live up to his nickname as 'Amtrak Joe' by pressing federal employees to rent electric vehicles and take more trains. In a directive Thursday, federal employees were told to rent EVS on official travel when costs are less or equal to comparable gas-powered vehicles and where charging is accessible. Additionally, federal workers were instructed to take rail for trips less than 250 miles when cost-effective and feasible rather than flying.

Proving once again that its priorities have swung like a rainbow-colored wrecking ball away from its mission to “protect and defend the United States against terrorist and foreign intelligence threats” and “to uphold and enforce the criminal laws of the United States,” the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) issued a statement announcing that it is adding extra letters to the alphabet soup that is LGTB+ inclusivity.

In the day, it was a news-grabbing story. NewsBusters’ own Curtis Houck headlined the story when it happened in 2020.
They Have Their Scalp: NYT Editor Bows to Mob, Resigns Over Tom Cotton Column...
Curtis opened with this:
In the latest blow to free speech, outside criticism, and exposure to opposing views, the woke, snowflake-laden New York Times and Philadelphia Inquirer newsrooms forced the resignations Sunday afternoon of opinion editor James Bennet and executive editor Stan Wischnowski, respectively.
For Bennet, he was shoved out after his section published a June 3 op-ed by Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR)

Political correctness has invaded every corner of life in many Western societies, mostly with a detrimental effect.
In the corporate environment, the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives are a shining example of something that may have seemed great in theory, but in real life is developing into yet another big problem.
Billionaire Elon Musk, the owner of X/Twitter, Tesla, and SpaceX, claimed that DEI replaces discrimination with ‘different discrimination,’ labeling them ‘propaganda words.’
Congress is taking action to block the Pentagon from using taxpayer dollars to fund risky animal coronavirus research in Wuhan, China.
A provision within the fiscal year 2024 defense authorization bill, which passed the House and Senate this week, prohibits the Pentagon from funding experiments at the Wuhan Institute of Virology - which is at the center of the COVID-19 lab-leak theory.
Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, who included the measure in the NDAA, told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview this week that American dollars 'have been diverted in the past to institutions in communist China.'
Leftists And The ‘Imperial Presidency’

The Constitution created a chief executive who was supposed to have very few powers. His remit was foreign policy. Individual states weren’t allowed to deal directly with foreign powers, so that was left to the President. No police power exists in the Constitution, so disputes between the states would be dealt with by the Courts. The powers of the Congress were originally limited to a series of specific acts beginning with “To borrow money…” in Article I, Section 8. This didn’t leave a lot of room for a pen and a phone.
Unfortunately, the Supreme Court decided to ignore that original meaning in 1936, when it ruled
President Joe Biden’s border chief has a deal for the GOP: He will carefully cap illegal migration at one million a year if the GOP approves $61 billion for war in Ukraine, according to press reports.
The offer would double pre-2021 immigration numbers, but it is a “good faith offer,” said one of the four GOP negotiators told reporters.“We’re at 11,000” illegal migrants per day or roughly 4 million migrants in a year, Sen. Thom Tillis told CBS on December 13, adding:
We’ve seen what the White House has sent over … We’ve got to get somewhere closer to … 2,000 [migrants] a day [or 700,000 a year],

The memorial’s removal would also necessarily desecrate the graves of numerous Confederate soldiers buried nearby.
The memorial is intended to celebrate the post-war reconciliation of the North and South, a celebration of unity that apparently rankles Democrats and their rabid desire for division and destruction.

On Dec. 8, French President Emmanuel Macron visited the restoration effort of the famed cathedral, marking the one-year countdown from the expected completion following the April 2019 fire.
