Congress No Longer Fulfilling Its Legislative Role | National Review
Congress No Longer Fulfilling Its Legislative Role | National Review:
All of these benefits were present in our constitutional system, as described in Frishberg’s song. All of these benefits Congress has ceded in delegating its legislative power to the bureaucracy and the president.
“It’s not easy to become a law, is it?” the song concludes. That used to be true, constitutionally speaking. America would be better off — juster, smarter, and more faithful to the Constitution — if it became true again.

But there is also little doubt that the bat carrying the progenitor of the virus lived somewhere else.
Central to the mystery of Covid’s origin is how a virus normally found in horseshoe bats in caves in the far south of China or southeast Asia turned up in a city a thousand miles north.
- In both Yunnan and Laos, the only people who knowingly transported bat virus samples to Wuhan — and only to Wuhan — were scientists

...to avoid the complication of signing up local subcontractors to their grants in those countries, they promised to send the samples to a laboratory they already funded.

Significance: CO2 climate sensitivity overstated in models
Friends of Science
"According to IPCC climate models, the mean global temperature should have risen by 1.5°C since 1850 due to the higher CO2
Now results by a new study appearing in the journal Science Advances by Liu et al tells us that the forcing by aerosols had to have been overestimated by climate modeler's concentrations.
According to the scientists led by Liu, however, atmospheric aerosols in the preindustrial times were just as high as they were just recently.
According to the scientists led by Liu, however, atmospheric aerosols in the preindustrial times were just as high as they were just recently.
They were in fact more or less constant over the past 250 years.
No change means it could not have been aerosols putting the brakes on temperature rise.

Joe Isuzu Biden: Concern-trolling high energy prices to voters -- and working on the sly to raise them higher - American Thinker
Joe Isuzu Biden: Concern-trolling high energy prices to voters -- and working on the sly to raise them higher - American Thinker By Monica Showalter
...Here are a pair of things he's done since that treacly statement that he's done on the sly, hoping you won't notice:
"Joe Biden has repeatedly claimed that high energy prices, including soaring prices at the pump, are some kind of priority for him.
“I will do what needs to be done to reduce the price you pay at the pump,” Biden said.
"American consumers are feeling the impact of elevated gas prices at the pump and in their home heating bills, and American businesses are, too, because oil supply has not kept up with demand as the global economy emerges from the pandemic," the White House said in a news release. "That's why President Biden is using every tool available to him to work to lower prices and address the lack of supply."
- The first, from Axios:
Oil and gas companies should pay more to drill on federal lands and waters, the Department of the Interior argued in a report released Friday, saying that the current rates were "outdated."...
- ...The White House tried to deny that that was happening, but got ratted out by Fox News's Peter Doocy at a press briefing:
Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked about the report during Monday’s press briefing, asking, “why is the administration now considering shutting down the Line 5 pipeline from Canada to Michigan?” “So, Peter, that is inaccurate,” Deputy Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed. “That is not right. So, any reporting indicating that some decision has been made, again, is not accurate. … So, again, I would — it is inaccurate what you just stated, but —”
“What’s inaccurate?” Doocy asked.
“The reporting about us wanting to shut down the Line 5,” Jean-Pierre said.
“I didn’t say ‘wanting.’ I said, is it being studied right now? Is the administration studying the impact of shutting down the Line 5?”
“Yeah. Yes, we are. We are,” Jean-Pierre admitted.
