Joe Biden and the Democrats are always accusing Biden's political opponent, former President Donald Trump, of wanting to be a dictator or being fascistic. It’s very ironic, given it's Biden who fits that bill. His administration even want to control what you do with your appliances in your home, all in the effort to appease their climate change fervor. At the end of last month I wrote about the latest Biden administration effort where they tried to slip eco regulations by us on a holiday weekend targeting refrigerators and freezers.

Comments:

About time someone took these fanatical 3-letter agencies to task. Only Congress can make law. Next should be the ATF, DOEedcation, HHS and - and the FBI.
'Efficient' appliances stink and don't last.

The current regulations have already wrecked dishwashers and clothes washers. We need to get ALL the regulations on appliances removed. At MOST, the DOE should be like Consumer Reports, and require labeling on how much water and energy various appliances use so WE CAN CHOOSE. Same for automobiles. Cars now cost twice or more what they would cost without government mandates. Remove ALL government mandates. If you want to purchase a car which doesn't have a anti-theft system , which makes the cost to replace a lost key $200, yet doesn't stop car thefts, it should be available. Same for various expensive safety systems. Offer a "no airbags" and "airbags" cars. And same for the high fuel economy requirements. POST the fuel consumption numbers and LET US CHOOSE.

Whoop-de-doo. Meanwhile the rest of the house is on fire. I think the take pity on our helplessness and just throw out an easy bone, so we don't notice they are the arsonist.

London has suspended several electric buses after a seemingly spontaneous fire broke out in a double-decker bus, sparking calls for a re-examination of every electric bus used in the capital’s fleet. On Thursday, an electric bus caught on fire on Wimbledon Hill Road in London. While no injuries were reported and investigations into the cause of the fire are still ongoing, the office of London Mayor Sadiq Khan — a chief proponent of the green agenda in Britain — announced the suspension of the same model of electric busses from the route.

Several Democrats on Capitol Hill scolded President Biden on Thursday for launching airstrikes against Houthi targets in Yemen without congressional approval, arguing that the action was unconstitutional. “The President needs to come to Congress before launching a strike against the Houthis in Yemen and involving us in another middle east [sic] conflict,” Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) tweeted. “That is Article I of the Constitution./snip/ “Section 2C of the War Powers Act is clear: POTUS may only introduce the US into hostilities after Congressional authorization or in a national emergency when the U.S. is under imminent attack,” Khanna went on.

An official with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has been arrested on an outstanding warrant, according to local reports. TSA Assistant Federal Security Director Maxine McManaman was arrested in Atlanta by U.S. Customs and Border Protection on Dec. 28. McManaman had a warrant for her arrest posted by the St. Lucie County (Florida) Sheriff’s Office, which claimed she and an alleged accomplice named Delroy Chambers Sr. exploited a relative suffering from dementia by falsifying documents in their name, according to Port St. Lucie Police. The Florida authorities allege that the duo forged signatures on a quitclaim deed transferring ownership of a property in the relative's name over to themselves.

Disturbing footage captures the moment the two men argue just steps from the platform’s edge as the train is heard approaching the station. A man wearing a dark coat and black hat lands two punches on the victim, causing the latter to tumble over onto the tracks.

An armed attacker opened fire inside a rural Iowa high school on the first day back from winter break Thursday morning, shooting “multiple” people before reportedly turning the gun on themself. The principal of Perry High School, 40 miles northwest of Des Moines, was reportedly among what police said were “multiple gunshot victims” as the mass shooting unfolded at 7:47 a.m. The rampage came before the opening bell when “very few students and faculty” were in the building “which contributed to a good outcome in that sense,” Dallas County Sheriff Adam Infante said at a press conference later in the morning.

We are about to embark on what might be one of the wildest years in the history of American politics, and it may end up merely a prelude. If 2024 is set to be tumultuous and unpredictable, just wait until 2025 if Donald Trump wins the presidency again this year. His adversaries don’t have a history of accepting his victories with equanimity. Trump’s unexpected victory in 2016 launched conspiracy theories about how Russia had helped him win; catalyzed a years-long law enforcement investigation into him and his campaign based on those theories; and set off protests in the streets. All that was mild, given what may yet be in the offing.

In the latest example of corporate stupidity, three sporting goods employees were fired for chasing a man who stole a pistol. Apparently, trying to stop someone from stealing a deadly weapon is against company policy. Advertisement This is yet another story in which a major company punishes employees for trying to protect it from entitled thugs who think they have the right to take what they want. Michelle Sutton, along with two other unidentified workers at the Academy Sports + Outdoors in Metairie, Louisiana, said that the shoplifting incident happened Dec. 16.

Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows unilaterally ruled that former President Donald Trump is unqualified to appear on the 2024 primary ballot despite lacking a law degree and substituting YouTube videos for due process. Bellows, who previously worked as Executive Director of the Maine Chapter of the ACLU but is not an attorney and did not attend law school, made the legal conclusion in her ruling that “the declaration on [Trump’s] candidate consent form is false because he is not qualified to hold the office of the President under Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment.”

Law enforcement shut down Interstate 65 while firefighters battled the blaze. “It was determined the driver of the vehicle was uninjured and had escaped the vehicle before the fire department arrived,” the department stated.

Delta Air Lines employee followed through on his threat by calling police on transgender influencer and actress Tommy Dorfman. This comes after a tense confrontation that resulted from Dorfman’s allegations of being ‘misgendered’ by airline staff. A video going viral Tuesday shows a hard-working Delta employee named “Tristan,” putting a transgender actor in his place just three days before Christmas. Tommy Dorfman, a biological male who identifies as female and uses she/her pronouns, posted a TikTok video showing himself at LaGuardia Airport on December 22. He was waiting to board a flight to his hometown of Atlanta, presumably to celebrate the holidays with his family.

The Senate GOP leadership’s draft border deal with the White House would reward illegal migration and encourage more foreign graduates to take jobs from American graduates, says the Immigration Accountability Project. “There’s nothing in there that [restricts immigration], in fact, it’s just going to encourage more people to come,” said Chris Chmielenski, president of the Immigration Accountability Project, adding: It essentially authorizes the Biden administration to continue to catch and release people into the country. It authorizes them to give them work permits [to illegal migrants and] authorizes them to grant parole [legal status] to everybody that they’re able to funnel to a port of entry.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has been in the news lately more for what he didn't do than what he did. As we wrote previously, Austin kept almost everyone in the White House in the dark about his whereabouts--when he was actually in the hospital, recovering from a major surgery in the wake of a cancer diagnosis.

Rep. Adam Schiff has a new plan to save ‘democracy’ by abolishing the filibuster, getting rid of the Electoral College and packing the U.S. Supreme Court. At this point, it’s pretty clear that when Democrats talk about ‘democracy’ what they really mean is anything that the far left likes.

Republican presidential primary candidate Nikki Haley once seemingly parroted a talking point used by Democrats that suggests climate change is partially to blame for mass immigration to the United States and other countries. In January 2017, Haley went before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to be confirmed as ambassador to the United Nations (UN) in then-President Donald Trump’s administration. Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR), in a written question, asked Haley about so-called “climate refugees,” as Democrats claim that mass immigration to the U.S. and other countries is partially due to global warming’s destroying crops, conditions, and communities in certain regions of the world. Merkley wrote:

Paul on Friday launched the anti-Haley campaign, saying "Based on her record and campaign, I don’t see how any thoughtful or informed libertarian or conservative should vote for @NikkiHaley. If you agree, let your voice be heard." "I am #NeverNikki and I hope you will be too," he added.

Shortfalls in required monitoring by American officials mean the U.S. cannot track more than $1 billion in weapons and military equipment provided to Ukraine to fight invading Russian forces, according to a Pentagon audit released Thursday. The findings mean that 59% of $1.7 billion in defense gear that the U.S. has provided Ukraine and was directed to guard against misuse or theft remained “delinquent,” the report by the Defense Department’s office of the inspector-general, the watchdog body for the Pentagon, said.

Public schools in Chicago have lost $23 million worth of laptops, iPads, and other electronic devices provided for ‘free’ to students. As many as 77,000 of these devices have just vanished into thin air. Where did they go and who stole them?

I hate to repeat the by-now tired observation that Democrats are racists, but I will anyway. It’s Friday. The workweek is almost done, and it’s always fun to point out the hypocrisy of Leftists. The latest example of unintentional humor is Jerry Nadler’s unintentionally hilarious excuse for why the United States needs to import several million illegal immigrants a year: They make great menial laborers. Without illegals, vegetables would rot in the fields. [Tweets/videos] And, if I were Nadler, I would steer the topic off of food. This is actually a common assertion of Democrats, who generally know about as much about agriculture as I know about performing brain surgery.
