Permitting Bill less than it sounds


Wind and solar are still more expensive because they require back-up generating/storage capacity for when the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow and they require dramatic increases in the national electricity transmission infrastructure. 

Today states decide how and when to permit electricity transmission lines and can con­sider how new trans­mis­sion lines af­fect their power sup­ply and their electricity costs when they de­cide whether to per­mit them or not. Manchin’s “Permitting Fix” would transfer this authority to the government (FERC). 

The bill al­lows FERC to force the costs of transmitting electricity with broad dis­cre­tion to socialize costs based on “rea­son­ably an­tic­i­pated ben­e­fits,” how­ever it de­fines them, such as re­duc­ing CO2 emis­sions. This means that FERC can decide which states have to bear the costs which can result in states with nuclear and fossil fuel (cheap) power to subsidize states that are developing expensive power sources (wind and solar.)

What could go wrong?

Biden blows off constitution


14th Amendment - Equal protection of the laws

Pro-abortion escort said “crude … inappropriate and disgusting things” to the Houcks’ son, such as “your dad’s a fag” and other vulgar slurs. Houck kept telling the escort to stop harassing his son, they say, but the escort refused to stop and when the foul-mouthed vulgarian got too close to his son, Houck protected him by shoving the escort away. The escort fell down, but, according to Houck’s family, the only injury he suffered required “a Band-Aid on his finger.”  The incident occurred Oct. 21, 2021. The assault claim against Houck is so weak that not only did Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, a Soros-backed rogue prosecutor, refuse to file any misdemeanor charges against Houck, but, the family says, a civil lawsuit filed by the escort was thrown out of court.

Now, almost a year later, In an early morning raid Friday in Kintnersville, Pennsylvania, about two dozen FBI agents with weapons drawn pounded on the door of Mark Houck’s home, where he lives with his wife and seven children. Justice Department charges him with two felonies for an injury that required a Band-Aid. His conviction could result, according to the Justice Department, in a maximum penalty of “11 years in prison, three years of supervised release and fines of up to $350,000.”

Contrast this prosecution with the fact that vandals physically have attacked and damaged roughly 70 pro-life pregnancy centers, which also are protected under the FACE Act’s definition of a facility that “provides reproductive health services.” So why hasn’t the Justice Department filed a single FACE Act indictment against anyone for those crimes?

Biden's Broken Border Aug 22

Biden’s immigration policies are a mess AND put many innocents at risk and allow Mexican cartels to get rich.

I support immigration. A lot of immigration. But legal immigration, with a mix of merit based  (engineers, scientists, entrepreneurs, doctors, mathematicians, etc.) and opportunity-based (people who want to work hard, adopt American values, and get ahead). 

(Note-The numbers are the apprehensions. We do not know how many people get through without being apprehended)

Biden- Stop Dithering. Lead. Stop Putin

While the US has provided more military assistance to Ukraine than any other country, Biden continues to dither by worrying more about provoking Putin and ignoring the 10's of thousands of deaths, the rubbling of Ukraine and the consequences of letting Russia invade and stay in Ukraine.

From the beginning of Russia's threats to continue their 2014 invasion of Ukraine Biden has dithered.  He actually stopped providing Javelins to prevent provoking Russia until the weeks before the actual invasion.  He took military option off the table. He encouraged Zelensky to leave Ukraine.  Rather ineffective sanctions were imposed. It was only after the heroically brave fighting and sacrifice of the Ukraine army and people and the discovery of the inept capabilities of the Russian army that Biden began increasing military aid.  But he has done it in a slow incremental way and still continues to limit the capabilities and range of weapons assistance.

Biden needs to LEAD the world to stop Putin.

This is wrong

I’m sorry BUT this teacher is inappropriately dressed. 

Regardless of the sex, or the self identified gender of this teacher, you have to question their mental well-being to want to go to school dressed like that

Biden puts Drama over Engineering



The student loan program, as currently written, is looking to be one of the most costly, inefficient and unwise government programs of the 21st century.”


Calculation and estimates that typical graduates in Mechanical Engineering will on average get a 0% subsidy but graduates in Music will get a 96% subsidy, in Drama a 99% subsidy and Masseuses a 100% subsidy on average.







So it WAS Clinton/Democrats/FBI colluding with Russia


“We now know that the so-called dossier compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele was a Clinton campaign production. It is one of the great dirty tricks in modern political history: The 2016 Democratic presidential campaign colluded with the incumbent Democratic administration’s law enforcement and intelligence apparatus to portray their partisan opposition, Donald Trump, as a Kremlin mole, then made the smear stick to the point of forcing Trump to govern for over two years under the cloud of a special-counsel investigation.”

“Totally ignored by FBI throughout: (a) most of the FISC-authorized surveillance; (b) the Mueller investigation, which somehow failed to detect — or at least to report — that Danchenko misled the bureau; and (c) Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s investigations of the FBI’s misconduct in the Trump investigation — in the reports of which there is no indication that Horowitz was told Danchenko was on the bureau payroll and available to be interviewed.”

Biden/Real Income? Nope

Admittedly some distortion due to pandemic but given Biden's continued use of arbitrary baselines when making comparisons I couldn't help but show the raw data.  With inflation raging and economy slowing we are seeing a decline in real incomes, both total and disposable.
