Federal charges are being filed against U.S. Rep. LaMonica McIver, a Democrat from New Jersey, who pushed her way into a melee when protesters were trying to disrupt operations at a detention center run by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Obstruction and interfering are included.
But the situation is just a symptom, more or less, of a bigger agenda by the Democrats, according to constitutional expert Jonathan Turley, a professor at George Washington University who has not only testified before Congress as an expert on the nation's founding law, but has represented members in constitutional disputes in court.

Why "cheaper" solar raises costs. Part II: The hidden costs of residential solar - Climate Etc.
How Residential Solar Rate Structures WorkResidential solar systems, typically tied to net metering, let homeowners generate and sell power in ways that appear cost-effective:
- Serving own needs: Solar panels produce during sunny, low-demand periods (e.g., midday spring), letting homeowners avoid utility charges. These charges are usually a flat rate based on average costs. (Note: The utility backs them up when panels don’t produce enough electricity.)
- Selling excess power: Surplus power goes to the grid, with net metering crediting it at rates varying by state. Typically, these payments exceed the energy’s value to the utility during low-demand periods.
- Hard Times: At night, on cloudy days, or during peak demand (e.g., summer evenings), panels produce little. Homeowners buy grid power at flat rates, which don’t reflect the high costs of peaking plants...
We Are Looking Down The Barrel Of A Worldwide Credit Market Crisis That Threatens To Be Absolutely Horrific
National governments around the world are collectively more than 100 trillion dollars in debt. - Michael Snyder
- The United States accounts for about 35 percent of that total,
- China accounts for about 16 percent of that total, and
- Japan accounts for about 10 percent of that total.
For a long time, national governments were able to fund their debt binges very cheaply, but now nervous investors are demanding higher interest rates to hold long-term government debt.
This is driving up borrowing costs, and it has thrown credit markets around the globe into a state of chaos.
If bond yields continue to rise at a very brisk pace, there is a risk that investors could become so nervous that credit markets actually start freezing up.
- If that were to happen, the entire global financial system would go completely haywire...

Supreme Court rules against Maine Democrats who shut down Republican's voting privileges over post about transgender athlete | Blaze Media:
Libby's post pointed out that the athlete had placed fifth in boys' pole vaulting but "propelled his school's girls' team to win the overall state championship" only one year later.
"The Maine Principals’ Association’s blatant disregard for federal rules means that deserving, BIOLOGICAL girls, have titles ripped away from them. This is outrageous, and unfair to the many female athletes who work every single day to succeed in their respective sports," Libby wrote.
Two Kennedys Tag Team to Expose Billion-Dollar Health Funding Scam
Instead, he turned the spotlight on the real scandal: bloated institutions siphoning off billions in taxpayer dollars while America’s health continues to nosedive. - Matt Margolis
“Private and public institutions have a history of it,” RFK Jr. noted, brushing off the hysterics from the left.
“How many employees were there at HHS when you took over?” he asked.The senator pressed the point: “Is this the first time that an institution in America has ever downsized?”
“Eighty-two thousand,” RFK Jr. replied.
“How many do you have today?” Sen. Kennedy asked.
“Sixty-two thousand,” RFK Jr. said. “It’s about the level it was in 2019, right before COVID.”
“Private and public institutions have a history of it,” RFK Jr. noted, brushing off the hysterics from the left.
Sen. Kennedy followed up by comparing it to companies like Microsoft and Meta, which have also made cuts without destroying their missions...

HEADLINE: “Meteorologist: No, We’re Not Going Extinct — Slate’s Climate Panic Ignores Reality” - Anthony Watts
“ Human extinction is a baseless climate scare.”
In a recent Slate article, titled “I Used to Hope Humans Were Headed for Extinction. Now I Know That Fantasy Allows Us the Easy Way Out” author Lizzie Wade argues that humanity is on the path to extinction due to climate change...
This claim is not just alarmist; it’s absurdly wrong.
The available evidence today suggests that humanity is more resilient and capable of adapting to changing climates than ever before, bolstered by centuries of technological and medical advancements.

- Contrary to the doomsday narrative pushed by Slate, humanity is currently experiencing a golden age.
- The reality is that warmth fosters life, while cold has historically brought more suffering and death.

Nolte: USC Professor Says Oscar Diversity Rules Not Woke Enough
Nolte: USC Professor Says Oscar Diversity Rules Not Woke Enough:
o, the problem with “gender, race, and ethnicity” is overseas audiences. They are the racists and sexists. Not us, sweetheart. But when you’re stupid enough to spend $300 million on a movie, you need that overseas audience, so Hollywood sucks up to the Nazis who run China and racists throughout the globe.
It’s bad enough watching what race and sex quotas do to the quality of any business, but the business of art?
We are only now coming out of the Woke Terror that decimated the quality of movies since at least 2019. The Woke Terror killed Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar, Indiana Jones, and countless other golden geese. But this USC harpy wants more?
If you hate Hollywood, do pray for even more DEI discrimination, because that will certainly be a stake in the heart.
Flashback: Democrat, Rep. Jamie Raskin Wanted to Create an Oversight Commission on Presidential Capacity Brett T.
This is the same Jamie Raskin who looked the other way as the rest of America saw President Joe Biden's obvious cognitive decline.
During the first year of President Donald Trump's first term, he posted a tweet warning North Korea that escalating its nuclear threat would "be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen."

- The media freaked out, and CNN's Brian Stelter platformed a quack psychiatrist who wanted Trump physically restrained and put in a 72-hour psychiatric hold.
Trump was clearly insane and threatening to start World War III.

Supreme Court Lets Trump Revoke Amnesty for 300K Venezuelans
Supreme Court Lets Trump Revoke Amnesty for 300K Venezuelans:
The Supreme Court allowed President Donald Trump to end the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) amnesty for more than 300,000 Venezuelan migrants.
In an 8-1 ruling on Monday, the majority justices granted an emergency application filed by the Trump administration that requested the Court lift an order from California-based U.S. District Court Judge Edward Chen that prevented the administration from revoking TPS protections for thousands of Venezuelan migrants, NBC News reported.
They've been lying!-----Solar and wind are only considered to be “clean energy” sources because of their low carbon load.
Once you dig beyond the surface and consider material and land requirements for these renewables projects, it really becomes apparent that there is nothing “clean” / “green” about them. - Chris Martz@ChrisMartzWX
Other environmental impacts are seldom, if ever considered...
A single 1,000-megawatt nuclear reactor occupying 1 square mile of land, operating with a capacity factor of 0.93 can power roughly 775,000 homes over the course of a calendar year.
Not considering battery storage, in order to power the same number of homes with either solar or wind, it would require:
• Solar PV: 4,000 MW of installed power and 24,000 acres of land (37.5× as much land)
• Onshore wind: 2,800 MW of installed power and 89,600 acres of land (140× as much land)
That doesn’t sound very “green” to me.

GOP Sounds Alarm: Illegal Aliens Faking Accidents, Injuries for Payouts
Illegal aliens are being recruited to join sophisticated criminal networks in the United States that stage accidents and injuries to get payouts through the nation’s personal injury system - John Binder
In a letter led by Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA), the group of Republicans warned Bondi that personal injury fraud is a growing industry in the U.S. that requires immediate attention from the Department of Justice (DOJ).
...“According to the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud, insurance fraud costs the U.S. $308 billion annually, with $45 billion attributable to property and casualty insurance fraud. More importantly, these activities put innocent motorists at risk of injury or even death.”
