The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) temporarily suspended its controversial rule requiring private companies to disclose carbon emissions data after it was met with a slew of lawsuits. The rule, which was finalized in March, was immediately met with litigation by a cohort of 25 GOP attorneys general, along with energy companies Liberty Energy and Nomad Proppant Services, and business groups including the Chamber of Commerce, Texas Alliance of Energy Producers and Domestic Energy Producers Alliance. Last month, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals granted a brief administrative stay of the rule while the various lawsuits were consolidated.

Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere for hte last 50 million years have been between 10 and 50 times higher than we have had in the last couple of hundred years. We have been at in a carbon dioxide shortage, harming all green plants. They are freaking out at increasing CO2 by 10-20%, when it is proven NORMAL to increase it by 10 to 50 TIMES, which id 1,000% to 5,000%....and green plants (food for all lief on earth) flourish in high CO2 times. CO2 is GOOD, not a pollutant.

The big point is, will the next Congress if Republican and a President Trump, have the stones repeal this Inflation Reduction Act alias the Green New Deal and end all DEI nonsense? So much has to be done to undo the Obama/Biden years, I wouldn't know where to start. Off topic...get rid of Obamacare while they are at it!!

Sometimes they turn up the heat under the frog pot a little too quickly. No worries, before the frog jumps out, they reduce the heat, and then start increasing it again, but just a little more slowly. But the end result is the same, the frog gets boiled to death.

HOUSTON, Texas — A six-month investigation led to a series of raids on Mexican cartel-connected chop shops in the Houston metroplex this week. The raids led to the seizure of more than $1 million in stolen vehicles. Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez posted photos on X showing the chop-shop operations located on Leago, Yale, and Gulf Bank streets. The auto-theft ring has “possible ties to a cartel,” the sheriff stated. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials were more direct in tying the operation, run by three Mexican nationals to the narco-terrorist organization Cartel Jalisco New Generation, according to a report by the New York Post. ICE officials identified

Here in the Susitna Valley, when it's time to vote, we proceed on Election Day to our local community center, where we present our IDs, get checked off the voting roll, sign in, and then fill out a paper ballot. Those paper ballots are placed in a box and counted by humans. Now, granted, that system works well here, where our little rural community can expect fewer than 2,000 voters most years. Many states and municipalities across the land have, however, resorted to mail-in ballots. It's easy to imagine many ways in which this system is fraught, but now a major overhaul of the U.S. Postal Service - the timing

Vermont police are investigating a fire at Independent Senator Bernie Sanders’s office as a suspected arson attack. A man can be seen on surveillance footage entering the vestibule of the office before spraying an apparent accelerant on the entrance door, according to CNN. “He then lit the accelerant and fled,” police said. “A significant fire engulfed the door and part of the vestibule, impeding the egress of staff members who were working in the office and endangering their lives.” First responders arrived at the office around 10:45 a.m. on Friday. No one was injured in the suspected attack, however, there was damage from the fire set to the door

Remember when the Biden administration announced that it would place a ban on menthol cigarettes? Well, it appears the White House could be close to making such a prohibition a reality. The ban is supposedly, and racistly, intended to save black people from themselves, given that menthol cigarettes are popular among African American smokers. However, there are reasons to speculate that President Joe Biden could be slow-walking the process for political reasons. The proposed prohibition on menthol smokes was introduced about two years ago and was met with criticism from folks on the left and the right. The regulations, which would broadly ban the product, were first

Washington — The US is on high alert and actively preparing for a “significant” attack that could come as soon as within the next week by Iran targeting Israeli or American assets in the region in response to Monday’s Israeli strike in Damascus that killed top Iranian commanders, a senior administration official tells CNN. Senior US officials currently believe that an attack by Iran is “inevitable” – a view shared by their Israeli counterparts, that official said. The two governments are furiously working to get in position ahead of what is to come, as they anticipate that Iran’s attack could unfold in a number of different ways – and that both

The liberal media couldn't contain its excitement over the latest Franklin & Marshall poll showing Biden with a 10-point lead over Trump in Pennsylvania. Newsweek, for example, published an article headlined, "Joe Biden Crushes Donald Trump in New Swing State Poll." "A new poll shows President Joe Biden holding a double-digit lead over former President Donald Trump in the crucial swing state of Pennsylvania seven months before the general election," the article began. "This marks a large increase since February, when the company's polling showed Biden leading Trump by only one percentage point, on 43 percent to 42 percent." Can anyone point to anything

He called it all “unforgivable.” At the top of his show, Cuomo noted “that people in the White House monitor what I say” and warned that since officials “won't come on the show,” he was “forced to speak at you rather than to you. This is not my choice.” Cuomo chided

A Southwest plane came perilously close to hitting LaGuardia Airport's air traffic control tower. Southwest Flight 147 from Nashville to New York veered off course when coming in for a landing on March 23 around 1 pm because of inclement weather. The Boeing 737 plane, which had 150 people on board, came within 67 feet of the control tower. The plane circled the airport once and then swooped down as low as 300 feet, creating panic in the air traffic control tower. In audio captured by LiveATC.net, air traffic control personnel can be heard shouting: 'Go around! Go around!' The plane was ordered to abort the landing and fly upward 2,000

If it doesn’t, he told CNBC in an interview Thursday, “you’ll see me again.” Asked by host Jim Cramer if reports were true that his firm, Trian Fund Management, had made $300 million on its Disney investment, Peltz called that figure “dramatically wrong.” When Cramer wondered if the gains were actually in the $1 billion range, Peltz replied, “that sounds more like it.” The wavering performance of Disney’s stock performance, which brought it to multi-year lows last year, was one of the main complaints of Trian,

One of the things that frustrated me about Trump’s (first?) term was his seeming complete indifference to #TheResistance that manifested before he even took office. Unelected bureaucrats working in the ridiculously invasive executive branch’s many agencies, publicly declared war on him, and he . . . well, he did nothing. Until the final year of his presidency when he seemed to finally take aim at the problem in his own branch of government–we can call it the deep state, the resistance, the entrenched bureaucrats who oversee far too much policy in America and who are, apparently, answerable to no one. Not the voter, not the president. So then-president Trump launched

I have long predicted that normalizing transgender surgeries would be followed eventually by doctors intentionally disabling patients with Body Identity Integrity Disorder (BIID). These patients obsess that their “true selves” are quadriplegic, or amputees, or blind, and they yearn to be made that way. It is a real and anguishing condition. Some are now even calling the affliction “transable” (get it?). Well, here it comes. A doctor in Quebec “treated” a BIID patient by amputating two of his healthy fingers. Otherwise, the patient was threatening to mutilate himself. From the National Post story: The fact that there were only two fingers involved in the Quebec case, as opposed to

There are probably few people who have sold their soul more in the Biden administration than National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby. He's not stupid or incoherent like some on the team. But, he so often fails to give a straight answer when asked.Kirby did an interview with Fox's Martha MacCallum on her show, "The Story." The subject essentially was the Biden team throwing Israel under the bus with the things the Biden team has said. Kirby protested, saying that they stood with Israel, but they wanted changes to dealing with civilian casualties in the wake of the accidental killing of the aid workers in an Israeli strike in Gaza.
