Alex Jones was right. Again.

Is anyone else noticing a pattern?

> Biden invokes wartime powers to fund electric heaters… <

The GOP members of Congress will go crazy over this obvious presidential overreach. They will certainly vote to halt the funding!

Just kidding, of course. A GOP senator might go on Hannity to complain. A few more might issue disapproving statements. Otherwise, sure Joe. Just leave our personal pork projects alone.

“I really wish Texas seceding from the union was an option.”

The problem is nobody is willing to die for the Alamo any more. That time may well come, but it’s not now. It will have to get MUCH worse before that happens.

Biden is handing our energy security over to the Chinese. Biden is handing over the nation’s supply chain over to China. WTF?

Heat pumps work good until the temps get into the teens then you better have a backup.
My house was built in the late sixties and has radiant heat built into the ceiling.
You bet I turn up this when the heat pump goes wonky.
IDK hate to be a northeasterner r
Elying only on this in the depths of a cold winter.
But they voted for this.

It’s a grand old flag, it’s a high flyin’ flag....

One banana accidentally dropped on a step up to Air Force One and a lot could change. Can Harris handle being the dictator puppet under the Obama/Soros strings? Newsom may not like her.

Xi gets clean safe streets, and in exchange we freeze.

My kitchen range-Oven just took a dump. A relay control board has burned up relay network circuit. Made in China.

I went to a ghetto neighborhood used restaurant supply place, brought home a commercial gas fired rangetop and fast oven for $250. I had to de-louse it and clean it with a power washer. But it won't fail me again, as will most consumer systems and appliances. (And vehicles)

Like remembering a nightmare when you wake up and finding it’s actually this real world.

This is fascism in its purest form.

If you can't make a product and sell it at a competitive price, then just get the government to subsidize and mandate it.

Seeing a picture of Poindexter in the article made me want to vomit. WHY don’t these people just fade away and disappear from our lives? There is no shortage of “hand outs” among the grifters that have populated the government for many years. Anyone with a stupid idea takes it to DC and gets it implemented. The companies named as profiting from this idiotic idea are as happy as pigs in slop.

From the article - it’s a good article and covers a lot - here’s just a small excerpt.

“”According to the Congressional Research Service, the DPA, which was passed during the Cold War, gives the president a broad set of authorities to influence domestic industry “in the interest of national defense.” Invoking the law opens the door for the president access to hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer funding for a given national security-related purpose.””

In that case, Air Force One would squawk “Heels Up” on takeoff.

Heat pumps are ok in the southern latitudes. If you can supplement it on really cold days with a wood stove of some size, it's a good choice. You just have to understand it runs almost all the time, and the heated air will only be about two degrees higher in temp than ambient air.

I use a heat pump for my gunnite pool. The heat pump heats very efficiently for that application.
