America needs a subzero blackout prevention program!

Cold kills and America is at great risk of deadly subzero blackouts. - David Wojick 
Renewables are part of the problem but gas is the biggest part. 
We now know that the supply system that feeds our gas fired power plants can be unreliable in extreme cold weather.
  • Switching from coal to gas has made us vulnerable to cold weather blackouts. 
We need a program to address and cure this vulnerability. 
Action at both the State and Federal levels will be needed. 
  • New coal fired power may be part of the answer...

163. Friday, December 13, 2024 - The New York Times implied, and global media repeated the story, that Trump’s pick for HHS Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., wanted to pull “the” polio vaccine off the market. In fact, the years old petition filed by an attorney who has worked with Kennedy was filed on behalf of an unrelated group. Further, did not ask for “the” polio vaccine to be withdrawn. It addressed safety questions regarding one of numerous polio vaccines available and on the market.
162. Weds. Aug. 22, 2024 - Axios, Reuters, and PBS’ Judy Woodruff repeated false claims that Trump was “on the phone” encouraging Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to put off peace talks in Israel’s conflict with the Islamic extremist terrorist group Hamas, because a deal could help Democrat Kamala Harris. Woodruff later apologized, admitted she hadn’t done any reporting of her own, and she also said she hadn’t seen that both the Trump campaign and Israel had denied the claims...

In his search for answers, Steve phoned FBI whistleblower Stephen Friend, who then reached out to a close source — a guy with “40 years of intel experience in the Marines, Navy, NSA, and FBI.”

Friend told Deace that his source “is not prone to tinfoil hat theories.”

“He poked holes in every potential explanation I asked him about,” Friend wrote.

But there’s one theory he can’t seem to poke holes in — “sentient AI that our government lost control over and doesn't know how to respond [to].”

Montana Supreme Court’s Held Decision: A Loss for Climate Realism and Common Sense

Sixteen youth plaintiffs, backed by the well-heeled advocacy group Our Children’s Trust, convinced the court that their constitutional right to a “clean and healthful environment” was being violated by the state’s support for fossil fuel projects. -Charles Rotter 
The court’s 6-1 decision declared that this constitutional right extends to a “stable climate system.”...
  • The crux of the court’s ruling was the claim that Montana’s greenhouse gas emissions are a “substantial factor” causing harm to the plaintiffs. 
  • Really? Montana contributes a meager 0.09% to global emissions, an amount so small that it accounts for just 0.0018°C of warming under even the most extreme emissions scenarios​​...

'Numerous federal laws likely broken': Congressional report calls for FBI probe of Liz Cheney * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

'Numerous federal laws likely broken': Congressional report calls for FBI probe of Liz Cheney * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

A new congressional report is calling for an FBI investigation of former Wyoming congresswoman Liz Cheney over her behavior that "likely" violated federal law during ex-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's partisan investigation into the events at the Capitol on Jan. 6. 2021. Cheney is suspected of tampering with a witness who appeared before that special committee, which essentially took evidence about that day and put it in a report that blamed President Trump for everything, even to the point of leaving out details that exonerated him.

Democrats—and a significant number of Congressional Republicans—have found a way to circumvent our constitutional system of government by employing a tactic that gained traction during the Obama administration.

Merry Cromnibus and a Happy Debt Crisis! 
I call it the “Catch Me If You Can” (CMIYC) process.  - Michael Smith
The Democrats, starting largely during Obama’s presidency, leveraged the economic crisis caused by the bursting mortgage bubble to alter Congressional rules and norms. 
This allowed them to bypass slower, more public, and deliberative legislative processes. 
  • Harry Reid, then Senate Majority Leader, curtailed the filibuster for certain types of legislation. 
  • Democrats also introduced the practice of incorporating non-budgetary items into reconciliation bills, which were originally designed solely for spending measures. 
This is how Obamacare was passed with a simple majority and how much of their agenda is advanced today.

Robert Williams"Border Patrol zones across Texas, Arizona and California had no agent presence for weeks and months at a time. Those who did not want to be caught could simply walk in. We have no idea who and what entered our country over this time." — Aaron Heitke, retired chief patrol agent for the San Diego Sector of the U.S. Border Patrol, testimony before the U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security, September 18, 2024.
More than half a million Venezuelans have entered the US illegally since President Joe Biden took office in January 2021. 
These included criminals from the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, which, according to Texas Governor Greg Abbott, has "a history of flooding other countries with military-aged Venezuelan males to establish a base of operation to carry out violent crimes in those countries."

"These actions are tantamount to purposeful waste of government resources and are part of a deliberate effort to preemptively curtail the next administration on an issue which loomed large in the previous election," the letter reads. "Since you took office, these border materials have sat idle just feet away from the border wall and the adjacent unfinished areas," the letter continued. "Every Border Patrol agent knows that the areas with the highest number of illegal crossings are where border construction immediately halted in January of 2021." Since Biden took office, there have been nine million nationwide migrant encounters, over 7.4 million of which took place on the southern border alone.

They are scams dependent on regular government bailouts!-----Federal bailout gives $635 million to carpenters union pension plan - Michigan Capitol Confidential

There’s nothing in place to prevent a repeat - Jamie A. Hope 
The federal government is spending $635 million in taxpayer funds to bail out a multiemployer pension fund for a Detroit carpenters union. Pension experts warn that the bailout comes with little or no accountability and no indication that it won’t happen again...
A multiemployer pension system is funded by more than one private employer. It usually benefits trade union employees. 
  • Currently, 94% of multiemployer pension participants are in plans that are less than 60% funded, according to Greszler.
  • This unconditional bailout of a select number of private union pension plans is especially bad, Greszler added, because it doesn’t require plan administrators to fix the problems that led to underfunding...
  • One of the major problems with multiemployer pensions is that, unlike single-employer pensions, there are no laws or rules against underfunding and making false promises, Greszler said...

Top Kamala campaign staffer accidentally admits TRUTH about the Democratic Party | Blaze Media

Not only was Donald Trump elected because Americans couldn’t take another four years of Biden-era policies but because Kamala Harris’ campaign had no idea how to reach voters across the aisle.

And in a recent interview, Rob Flaherty, deputy campaign manager for Biden’s re-election campaign, actually told the truth about why that was — and it was illuminating, to say the least.

NOW, they know we're watching them!

 

Iran’s leader: Israel will be eradicated, not Hezbollah and ‘axis of resistance’

Khamenei also adds that Israel and the United States “thought the issue of resistance was over. They are gravely mistaken.” 
Iran’s supreme leader says Israel is wrong to believe that it can eradicate Hezbollah in Lebanon and that an “axis of resistance” of Tehran’s proxies in the region is finished.
State TV quotes Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as saying during a recent meeting on the occasion of Women’s Day that “the Zionist regime, in its delusion, believes it is preparing itself through Syria to encircle and eradicate Hezbollah forces, but the one that will be eradicated is Israel.”...
