Palisades nuclear plant gets $150 million in Michigan budget - mlive.com
"Michigan lawmakers included $150 million toward the effort to restart the Palisades nuclear plant as part of a record $81.7 billion state budget passed last week...
If it happens, it would be the first nuclear plant nationwide to return to generating power after being decommissioned.
“...state Rep. Joey Andrews, D-St. Joseph...“In addition to jobs, investing in Palisades will deliver low-cost, clean energy to Michigan families and businesses. It’s a win-win.”
...The plant was closed last year when its fuel ran out and the owner sold the facility to Holtec. 
The new owner has now twice applied for federal money to help get the plant operational again.
...Nuclear energy is a critical part of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s climate goals as more solar and wind generation infrastructure is constructed...

Liberals Run In Terror As Pride Flags Replaced With American Flags | Babylon Bee
U.S. — With Pride Month ending and July 4th around the corner, millions of rainbow flags across the country are being taken down and replaced with American flags, causing liberals to scream and run away in terror.
"AAAHHHHHHHHHH!" said Mamby Mcdibbles, (he/him) as he stepped out of his apartment to be greeted by hundreds of red, white, and blue flags. "I don't feel safe! I DON'T FEEL SAFE!"...

"OMA can appreciate EPA’s desire to restrict use of methylene chloride to the general public, retailers, and consumers such as home contractors/remodelers who may not be fully aware of the necessary precautions to safely use this chemical," OMA stated in its comment letter. "However, this proposed rule is a case of ‘throwing-the-baby-out-with-the-bathwater.’"

"We have grave concerns that EPA is going beyond its statutory authority with this rule, and usurping [the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA)] authority to regulate workplace safety by replacing OSHA’s limits with EPA’s own limits and practices," it continued. "Therefore, we urge in the strongest terms that the final rule exempts commercial and industrial sectors, that are already highly regulated by OSHA."

Hint? It ain't your SUV!-----Why did the last ice age end? | Live Science

Why did the last ice age end? | Live Science - By Cameron Duke
  • Nearly 10,000 years ago, Earth came out of its most recent ice age. Vast, icy swaths of land around the poles thawed, melting the glaciers that had covered them for nearly 100,000 years.
"Why, after such a long period of cold, did the ice age finally come to an end? 
Scientists are still searching for the answer...
Hall said that the traditional explanation — and short answer — for why ice ages begin and end is a series of eccentricities and wobbles in the planet's orbit known as the Milankovitch cycles...

Independence Day and Thanksgiving define America

Independence Day and Thanksgiving define America - GLENN K BEATON
  • My father’s father – my grandfather – died in the depths of the Great Depression when my father was five. 
  • He was the second husband his mother buriedShe then single-handedly raised my father, his brother and his half-sister.
  • For a few years anyway. My father flunked the sixth grade, twice. He dropped out of school altogether in the eighth grade to go to work to help support the family. Kids grew up early in those days. He joined the army at age 17 just before the war ended, and served in Europe and Japan. He got his GED, and landed a job as an engineering technician...
What he liked about the Fourth of July was that it celebrated a nation he truly loved. 
He was awestruck that he – he! – could achieve what he did. 
His sentiment was not founded in conceit for what he had achieved, but for love of the place that let him do so, a place rooted in the notion that all men were created with equal opportunity regardless of their circumstances or limitations. 
Merit counted for a lot, and effort accounted for even more...
This Independence Day, green shoots are sprouting in America. 
A post-apocalyptic lunar landscape of wokeness, Marxism, hatred and nihilism is giving way to a renewed appreciation and outright love for a country that is still the greatest in history, a country whose best days are still ahead, God willing. 
My father would be happy to see it this Independence Day, as am I.

“The timeline that is emerging does not paint a picture of an apolitical FBI, and the bureau has a duty to explain itself, which it has so far failed to do.”

Johnson said that entwined with the implications of foreign policy reverberations from the Biden family’s network of businesses is the barrier put in the way of investigating allegations against the Biden family.

“As troubling as Biden family corruption is — and the extent to which it comprises American foreign policy — there is a much larger story of corruption to be uncovered,” he said.

CDC OKs New Pfizer, GSK Vaccines Against RSV in Older Adults
"Some older adults should receive the new respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has concluded, while acknowledging that the risks of the shots may outweigh the benefits for some of the population.
The CDC’s director on June 29 endorsed advice from the CDC’s vaccine advisory panel, known as ACIP, for the new vaccines, which are manufactured by Pfizer and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK).
  • That means people aged 60 and older can receive one of the vaccines...

The bottling company did not reveal the reason for the move, but an investigation by WRAL reportedly found that the plants are shuttering because of tanking Bud Light sales, as retailers, distributors, bars and contracted companies feel the wrath of nationwide boycotts over the controversial Bud Light partnership that celebrated Mulvaney's "365 Days of Girlhood."

  • Our history belongs to me no less than to any Mayflower descendant. Maybe more, writes Martin Gurri, since I knew too well the alternative to freedom. - By Martin Gurri
"I arrived in the United States as a child from Cuba, and immediately realized things were different here...
...And for those of you who love to sneer at “consumerism,” let me repeat a story I have told before. 
A Cuban woman, a recent refugee, entered a supermarket in Miami and proceeded to
burst into tears.
Surrounded by such a dazzling display of goods, her heart broke, she said, when she thought of the people she had left behind in Cuba, who had so little.
The opposite of consumerism isn’t authenticity—it’s penury. 
It’s scarcity and hunger. 
We are fortunate and exceptional that most of our problems stem from abundance.
This amazing history is the property of every American—and it was the legacy that confronted me when I first arrived in this country. 
  • But here’s the strange thing: fairly quickly, without my knowing how, I started to think of it as my legacy. I internalized the evolution of freedom the U.S. represents.
It belonged to me no less than to any Mayflower descendant—maybe more, since I knew too well the alternative to freedom...
