- As examples, on the electricity generation side, natural gas power plants that currently supply about half of our electricity are slated for forced closure at the rate of several a year until all of them are closed by 2040.
- The longer the net zero fantasy goes on, the more difficult and costly it will be to re-open these plants (if they are even still standing), or build new ones.
- Wind and solar facilities are getting built at the cost of billions, with huge subsidies, producing essentially no useful power.
- Every time another one gets built, the taxpayers and ratepayers are on the hook to pay its costs for its entire life...

Air Force Unit Drops Nickname After It's Labeled Offensive to Muslims
Air Force Unit Drops Nickname After It's Labeled Offensive to Muslims:
“So 14 Squadron, the Royal Air Force, involved in two world wars and busy today with intelligence and reconnaissance,” Farage said in a Facebook reel after the decision’s announcement, “their nickname is the Crusaders. But a senior boss in the Royal Air Force has decided that name now has to be dropped because it might cause offense to Muslims.
“I wonder whether in Saudi Arabia they’re bending to our culture and our way of life,” Farage continued. “I wonder even more deeply why we are literally giving in on virtually everything.”
Our country is lost!-----EDITORIAL: Who paid Peter Strzok off? - Washington Times
Central figure in Russiagate scandal gets $1.2 million from taxpayers - Editorial Board
- Peter Strzok hit the jackpot last month.
- The former FBI agent who opened a baseless investigation of then-candidate Donald Trump will receive $1.2 million from taxpayers, and his erstwhile paramour, former senior FBI lawyer Lisa Page, will collect $800,000.
- The Department of Justice agreed to the payout in partial settlement of a lawsuit the duo never would have won, and the parts of the lawsuit alleging violations of Mr. Strzok’s free speech and due process rights remain unresolved.
- The sweetheart deal raised eyebrows in Washington. At a recent hearing on the attempted assassination of Mr. Trump, FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate said he had no idea who was responsible for approving it...

Kevin McCarthy on Kamala Harris: 'She's worse' * WorldNetDaily * by Haley Gomez, Daily Caller News Foundation
Kevin McCarthy on Kamala Harris: 'She's worse' * WorldNetDaily * by Haley Gomez, Daily Caller News Foundation:
McCarthy continued to highlight why he believes Harris is "so popular" as of now, making a reference to the 1988 presidential election between former President Georgia W. Bush and Democratic presidential nominee Mike Dukakis.
"The only reason she's popular now is because Biden was so unpopular. They're just so thankful he's gone. Wait until they get a few moments with her. This is a lot like 1988," McCarthy continued.
Michael Smith - Democrat minds are trapped by the genetic fallacy.... | Facebook
That is why reportage on Democrats is almost always presented with some important details missing. 
- Genetic fallacies occur when arguments or information are dismissed or validated based solely on their source of origin rather than their content.
- In other words, a claim is ignored or given credibility based on its source rather than the claim itself.
It is also why Democrats often know nothing about certain events and are surprised when they are made aware - because when any outlet other than their DNC approved sources reports anything, they just ignore them.

Rampant fraud prompts Biden-Harris admin to halt controversial mass immigration program | Blaze Media:
The internal report uncovered sponsor applications that used the same social security numbers, address, and phone numbers hundreds of times, Fox News Digital reported. The report, obtained by the Federation for American Immigration Reform, showed that 100,948 forms had been filed by 3,218 serial sponsors, defined as those who appeared on at least 20 forms.
In some instances, sponsors used phone numbers belonging to dead people, addresses of storage units, and nonexistent zip codes, the report found.
Despite the alarming findings, the DHS maintained that applicants are "thoroughly screened and vetted prior to their arrival to the United States."

Amjad Taha, the most popular Bahraini commentator in Arab media and on social networks in the Persian Gulf region, delivered a message in response to the threats from the "Axis of Resistance":- "One thing must be clear to everyone: any missile or drone launched by Iran towards Israel will be intercepted by the countries of the region (i.e., Arab states), as this means that Iran is violating their borders before reaching Tel Aviv.
- Such actions will not be tolerated.
- Escalating the conflict and harming civilians in Israel will only increase tensions in the Middle East, which no one desires.
The region has chosen peace over war and is focused on a future free from the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas terrorists, and extremist Islamists." - Israel News Pulse

Whistleblower accuses Secret Service of cutting threat assessment efforts before shooting despite warnings, Hawley says | Blaze Media:
Had the CSD been allowed to perform its normal security duties at the Butler rally, according to the whistleblower, the alleged shooter would have been apprehended long before he had a chance to take aim on the former president.
Further, the whistleblower claimed that some officers warned about security lapses in events prior to the shooting, but instead of heeding the warnings, officials retaliated against the officers.

Organization fighting radical gender ideology sues school for withholding public records * WorldNetDaily * by Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell, The Daily Signal:
Burbank Unified School District, in Los Angeles County, hasn't responded to the Center for American Liberty's repeated records requests, the organization says. This silence violates the California Public Records Act, which requires the state government to disclose records to the public upon request, notes the nonprofit dedicated to protecting free speech and civil liberties.

- The price tag on the bill: a cool $280 billion of corporate handouts.
- It was arguably the largest corporate welfare bill in American history...
Director Rowe Personally Crippled Trump's Secret Service Team - David Strom
...The Secret Service is now stonewalling and has put the very man whose job it was to oversee security in charge of the investigation, and he has been lying to Congress....For weeks, I wanted to believe that massive incompetence led to the events in Butler.
I really did because the alternative didn't bear thinking of...
That is Putin-level evil.
But consider the facts: the security "breakdowns" were so massive and implausible when combined that any large police force could have done a better job than the most elite protection unit in the world.
But consider the facts: the security "breakdowns" were so massive and implausible when combined that any large police force could have done a better job than the most elite protection unit in the world.
- The shooter was identified, tracked, photographed, filmed on the roof,
- the Secret Service was warned multiple times,
- the shooter was in the line of sight of the snipers, and
- Trump was trotted out onto the stage and kept there as the shooter was lining up his shot in full view of the Secret Service snipers.
None of that is disputable...
