California's electricity crisis is so bad Gov. Newsom is ignoring carbon emissions policies to pay people to use generators instead - TheBlaze

California's electricity crisis is so bad Gov. Newsom is ignoring carbon emissions policies to pay people to use generators instead - TheBlaze: 

The emergency measures include a provision that will pay some companies to use generators instead of relying on the power grid. From Newsom's declaration: The proclamation suspends certain permitting requirements to allow greater energy production and creates incentives so that large energy users can move to back-up power generation, freeing up energy capacity on the grid for everyone else, during critical times when extreme heat events or the interruption of transmission lines from wildfires or other causes threaten energy supply this summer.

Infrastructure Bill Would Require Alcohol Monitors for All New Cars

Infrastructure Bill Would Require Alcohol Monitors for All New Cars

• Advanced monitoring systems track drivers' blood alcohol concentration and can 'prevent ... motor vehicle operation'

"The bipartisan infrastructure bill includes a provision that would require auto manufacturers to equip "advanced alcohol monitoring systems" in all new cars.
Buried in the massive proposal—which is already longer than 2,700 pages—is a section titled, "ADVANCED IMPAIRED DRIVING TECHNOLOGY," which mandates new vehicles include "a system that … passively and accurately detect[s] whether the blood alcohol concentration of a driver of a motor vehicle is equal to or greater than the blood alcohol concentration" of .08, in which case the system would "prevent or limit motor vehicle operation." 

Automobile manufacturers would have a three-year grace period to comply with the regulation...Read all.

Social Media Must Ban Violent Rightwing Extremists

Social Media Must Ban Violent Rightwing Extremists
FACEBOOK, TWITTER, YOUTUBE

The leading social media platforms - Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube - all played key roles in the Capitol insurrection on January 6, 2021.

For far too long, these platforms have tolerated white supremacist and misogynistic groups like QAnon and the Proud Boys.

Donald Trump used social media to summon and incite the mob that invaded the Capitol.

Tell Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to permanently ban Donald Trump and all right-wing extremist accounts that are planning violent attacks and spreading dangerous lies.

Poll: Majority Oppose Public Figures Criticizing the Unvaccinated

Poll: Majority Oppose Public Figures Criticizing the Unvaccinated: 

A majority of Americans do not believe it is appropriate for public figures to criticize unvaccinated Americans, particularly as a tactic to drive up vaccination rates, a Convention of States Action/Trafalgar Group survey released this week found.

The survey asked respondents “Do you believe public figures being openly critical of Americans who choose not to be vaccinated is an appropriate way to increase vaccination rates?”

Profess Belief In The Science Or Be Arrested For Hate Crimes
"One of our Elite Experts, with a certified degree in expertology, is getting tired of the sour looks the uncredentialled give him and his fellow Experts when they blunder, make outrageous claims, and commit egregious errors.
He can’t take it anymore and is demanding, and his peers who reviewed his demand are demanding, that you should be arrested, so that he and other Experts can live in peace and gather without worry their jolly certification-examination parties will be interrupted.
I do not jest nor joke. 

Expert Peter J. Hotez in the peer-reviewed paper “Mounting antiscience aggression in the United States” in PLOS Biology insists we must “extend federal hate-crime protections” to critiques of Experts.

Bill de Blasio Announces Vaccine Mandate in NYC. - Louder With Crowder

Bill de Blasio Announces Vaccine Mandate in NYC. - Louder With Crowder: 

Here it comes. Too many Americans are making personal medical decisions that leftist sh*tc*nts like Bill DeBlasio disagree with. So, DeBlasio is mandating businesses discriminate against a certain group of people. Andrew Cuomo is only encouraging businesses to discriminate throughout the state. DeBlasio is mandating that they do in the city. Because he's Bill de Blasio and he sucks at life.

Landlords, tenants fill courts as eviction moratorium ends

PROVIDENCE, Rhode Island (AP) — Gabe Imondi, a 74-year-old landlord from Rhode Island, had come to court hoping to get his apartment back. 

...More than 15 million people live in households that owe as much as $20 billion to their landlords, according to the Aspen Institute. 

As of July 5, roughly 3.6 million people in the U.S. said they faced eviction in the next two months, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s Household Pulse Survey...Read all.

CNN promotes emotional child abuse

CNN promotes emotional child abuse

"Holy shit.
As of the most recent data, the total number of COVID deaths under 17-years old was 337, out of more than 600,000 total COVID deaths in the US.
I read somewhere else that most of those children had severe underlying medical issues like very bad asthma or leukemia. 

Normal, healthy children are not threatened by COVID.
And yet this family rushed out to have their 12-year old vaccinated and have their 10-year old double masking.
When you listen to these children, you can tell they have been raised in an environment of fear and paranoia. 

They see other people, especially non-masked people, as nothing but a threat to them. 

They live their lives in a constant state of worry about COVID.
Beyond the physical harm that double masking does to a young boy who should be running around outside in the sun, this is causing severe emotional damage to these children.
They will never have normal lives and normal human interactions.
They have been convinced that they need to force everyone around them into a useless mask for their own safety.
This is clearly some sort of weird quasi-Munchausen by proxy, where the parents are being seen as being virtuous by turning their children into broken, mask-mandating, terrified husks afraid of a COVID boogieman.
This is precisely why the lockdowns have resulted in more child suicide than child COVID deaths.
And CNN promotes this as good.
This is atrocious...Read all.

#1 This day 1979-----Donna Summer: Bad girls (Official Video)

"Chuck Schumer just moo's and follows Nancy Pelosi into the cow chute."

Facebook

"Sen. John Kennedy from Louisiana is a real character - maybe the new Will Rogers.

This apparent "country boy" is actually a very smart cookie.

He graduated Magna cum Laude from Vanderbilt, was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, has a Law degree from University of Virginia, and a degree from Oxford University (Magdalen College) in England.

He's no country bumpkin, he's very insightful and funny as hell.

Here are some examples:

• "It is like a frog calling you ugly” - Comment about Cuomo lecturing us.
• "This election in 2022 will be the most important in history, you have nothing to worry about unless you are a tax payer, parent, gun owner, cop, person of faith, or an unborn baby!"
• Democrats are the "well intended arugula and tofu crowd."
• "You can only be young once, but you can always be immature."
• "Americans are thinking, there are some good members of Congress but we can’t figure out what they are good for. Others are thinking, how did these morons make it through the birth canal."
• "It’s as dead as four o’clock"
• "Always follow your heart... but take your brains with you"
• "The short answer is 'No' The long answer is 'Hell No.'"
• "It must suck to be that dumb."
• "When the Portland mayor's IQ gets to 75, he oughta sell."
• "I keep trying to see Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer's point of view, but I can't seem to get my head that far up my ass."
• "Go sell your crazy somewhere else... we are all stocked up here."
• "She has a Billy goat brain and a mockingbird mouth!"
• Sen. John Kennedy (R., La.) said that he trusted Middle Eastern countries "as much as gas station sushi, with the exception being Israel."
• "You can get a goat to climb a tree, but you'd be better off hiring a squirrel."
• "This has been going on since Moby Dick was a minnow."
• "Don't stand between a dog and a fire hydrant."
• "Our country was founded by geniuses, but it's being run by idiots."
• "It appears that he might do the right thing, but only when supervised and cornered like a rat."
• "This is why aliens won't talk to us."
• "Democrats are running around like they found a hair in their biscuit."
• "Chuck Schumer just moo's and follows Nancy Pelosi into the cow chute."
• "What planet did you parachute in from?"
• "Just because you CAN sing doesn’t mean you should”
• Senator John Kennedy on Nancy Pelosi: "She can strut sitting down!"
• Here's another one of his one liners; "He has more screws loose than a 1942 Studebaker"."

The promise!

 

Biden Admits Eviction Moratorium May Not Be Constitutional - Louder With Crowder

Biden Admits Eviction Moratorium May Not Be Constitutional - Louder With Crowder: 

Joe Biden, the president of the United States, the most popular president ever, and a man whose brain is not literal pudding, told the press yesterday he is doing something that may not be constitutional. Also, he doesn't care because it will take the courts a while to declare it unconstitutional. It's the eviction moratorium. If you rent to someone and they break the contract, you just need to shut up about it. The CDC compels you.

Lawyer: Capitol Cop Who Shot Ashli Babbitt 'Ambushed' Her on Jan. 6 Without Warning | RealClearInvestigations
"...over the next 3½ hours, he and other Democrats, along with their handpicked Republican panelists and police witnesses, never mentioned the most lethal act committed that day — the fatal Capitol Police shooting of unarmed protester Ashli Babbitt. 

It was the only shot fired during the entire riot.
...Questions linger over the shooting, especially whether the officer who fired the fatal shot warned Babbitt to stop before he opened fire as she attempted to breach a barricaded door inside the Capitol Building.

...Babbitt family attorney Terry Roberts said he has gathered evidence indicating the officer, a plainclothes police lieutenant, remained silent. 

Far from warning Babbitt he would shoot, Roberts said the officer “ambushed” her from the side where she could not see he had taken up position in a hall doorway and had trained his weapon on her.
“It’s not debatable,” said Roberts. “There was no warning.”
...“Why were there no warnings given or escalation of command and force in proper law enforcement technique?” Gosar asked...Read all!!!

Greetings, Capping off this round of the June budget cycle, local campaigns in multiple cities were successful in sustaining demands to defund police and reinvest in our communities despite President Biden’s call to spend COVID-19 recovery funds on more policing.  Communities United for Police Reform released the Path to a Safe, Healthy, and Just Recovery: Cut NYPD’s Budget & Invest in Communities report calling for a reduction in the NYPD’s budget, scope, and size, and reallocation of funds to non-police health and safety strategies in New York City’s FY22 budget. An update from #DefundOPD: the coalition won a campaign victory when the city council redirected $18 million from the proposed police budget into community-based safety strategies. Check out the coalition’s report on reimagining public safety.  Countering the “Crime Wave” Narrative...Read all.

Cuban Visits Grocery Store for First Time

Jackson Jambalaya: Cuban Visits Grocery Store for First Time

"It is often said and often true that we take what we have for granted in America.  

Few scenes will illustrate such as the video posted below.  

A Cuban visits an American grocery store for the first time.  

To say he is overwhelmed is an understatement.  

Watch out for the onions while watching."

Yoel And Mari

Cuban goes to an American Supermarket for the first time. From socialist Cuba where lines are long, products are scarce, and the constant struggle finding basic necessities has become an everyday normality, Yoel sees an American supermarket for the first time leaving the island. What is like to be cuban in socialist Cuba and then come to the United States? This is a very emotional and traumatic experience for many cubans who are not used to an abundance of food, the colors of the store, and the guilt of their family back home who cannot experience this.

Megan Rapinoe isn't Hated Because She's a Woman, but Because She's a Blowhard - Louder With Crowder

Megan Rapinoe isn't Hated Because She's a Woman, but Because She's a Blowhard - Louder With Crowder: 

Megan Rapinoe comes across as much more of a whiner than a winner. She uses her platform not to elevate, but to tear down America. She could be an inspiring figure to young athletic girls who have few idols to look up to, but she instead gets into scuffles with the president, sides with Colin Kaepernick by dishonoring the flag and the anthem, and takes a negative view of the country she represents at nearly every opportunity. It is for these reasons American conservatives such as myself, "celebrate" her loss on the Olympic world stage. It's as simple as not wanting an anti-American brat to represent our country. Call me an old fashioned fuddy-duddy.

'American Horror Story': Feds Pay for Full-Term Aborted Baby Parts

'American Horror Story': Feds Pay for Full-Term Aborted Baby Parts
"The National Institutes of Health (NIH) granted $3.2 million in federal funds to the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) to achieve its goal of becoming a fetal tissue collection site that could quickly harvest the organs of full-term aborted babies, according to documents obtained as part of a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit.
...According to a press release by Judicial Watch, which represents CMP in its lawsuit against HHS, the documents reveal the taxpayer funds were spent on Pitt’s quest to become a “Tissue Hub,” for the harvesting of tissue and organs of aborted babies of 6-42 weeks gestation.
“The NIH grant application for just one of Pitt’s numerous experiments with aborted infants reads like an episode of American Horror Story,” said CMP project lead David Daleiden about the documents obtained via the FOIA request...Read all.

Lunch video-----Was it Wrong to Drop the Atom Bomb on Japan?

"In recent years, many academics and others have condemned President Truman's decision to use the atomic bomb on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki as unnecessary and immoral. 

Yet this interpretation relies on a poor understanding of history that both lacks perspective and ignores context. 

Dropping the bomb shortened the war and saved countless lives -- both American and Japanese. 

In five minutes, Professor of History at Notre Dame, Father Wilson Miscamble, explains."
