(The Center Square) — Pennsylvania’s energy future hangs in the balance amid a federal pause on liquified natural gas production, leaving taxpayers on the hook for more costly and less reliable power. At
least, so say the critics of President Joe Biden’s decision to temporarily block LNG exports – which they say has a particularly devastating impact in the commonwealth. “We have to put our natural gas to work,” Robert Bair, president of the Pennsylvania State Building and Construction Trades said during a House Republican Policy Committee hearing on Monday. If Pennsylvania doesn’t do the work, he argued, that other...

Joe Biden’s new ‘boat anchor’ shoes meant for maximum ‘stability’ as president’s falls spark concern

NY Post ^
| 03/18/2024 | By Fox News
President Biden’s newest shoes have opened up renewed debate about his health and physical condition, with some speculating they were designed to prevent the president from falling. “Biden’s
handlers are forcing him to wear a new pair of ‘lifestyle sneakers’ because he trips so much,” reads a tweet from RNC Research on Saturday, referring to Biden’s new shoes. Observers have likened the shoes to “boat anchors” and “piers,” but the “Inside Edition” report attached to the tweet revealed that the president’s new shoes are actually “lifestyle sneakers” that are made by the shoe brand Hoka. The “Inside Edition” report notes...

Phantom Voters Spark Suit [semi-satire]

This week, the Republican National Committee (RNC) filed a lawsuit against Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson for violating the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA). The NVRA requires states to remove ineligible voters from the rolls. These
ineligible voters include people who have moved or died. Failure to purge the rolls of such persons makes it easier for others to fraudulently cast ballots in the names of these persons. This marks the second time in the last three years that Benson has been sued for not cleaning up the voter rolls. A 2021 suit filed by the Public Interest Legal...

Ukraine launched several drones at the Slavyansk oil refinery in Russia's Krasnodar region, sparking a brief fire at the site and resulting in one person dying of a heart attack, local officials said on Sunday. "The drones were neutralised, but a fire broke out as a result of the fall of one
of the devices," the operational headquarters of the region in southern Russia said on the Telegram messaging app. The fire was extinguished and there were no casualties as a result of the fire itself, the administration said. Preliminary information indicated, however, one person had died of a heart...

White farmers spark Supreme war over racist Biden program'Ineligible for debt relief because she is Caucasian'

| 3/12/2024 | bob unruth
A new petition for certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court poses an interesting question: Can the feds set up a Constitution-violating racist program, hand out money under it, and then when a lawsuit challenges it, drop the program and say the case is over? That's
the substance of a fight that has developed because of Joe Biden's American Rescue Plan Act that designated $4 billion to forgive loans to farmers, but excluded white farmers. The scheme, in fact, was set up to cancel loans for non-white farmers, plus give them a cash-back bonus of 20% more than they borrowed. Actually,...

Reports this week of a fourth-year medical student at Wake Forest University School of Medicine’s impending graduation drew questions not only about why she was being allowed to graduate, but also about how the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) movement is affecting medical school students and the patients for which they will
ultimately care. In April 2022, Kychelle Del Rosario was placed on extended leave after she posted a tweet on Twitter that implied she “missed” the vein of a patient on purpose while doing a blood draw because they laughed about a pronoun pin that she was wearing that...

Uncertainty expressed by Polish President Andrzej Duda over whether Ukraine was able to retake Crimea has prompted a stern reaction. Poland
has been a staunch ally of Ukraine since the start of the war, pledging aid and equipment for Kyiv's goals against Russian aggression; these include recapturing all of the peninsula Vladimir Putin illegally seized in 2014. Duda has previously said that all of Ukraine including Crimea must be liberated and, in August, added that whether Kyiv can retain the peninsula was key to preserving the world order. In an interview with YouTube Channel Zero, Duda said he believed that...

Rishi Sunak is facing a landslide general election defeat because he is seen as “spineless and false” and makes people “cringe”, according to a top pollster. The
verdict came as a major new survey indicated that Labour is heading for a repeat of Tony Blair’s crushing victory over the Tories in 1997. Conservative alarm at the results – allied to a fresh split over the controversial Rwanda bill – prompted speculation that the Tories could face their third leadership contest in less than 18 months. Tory deputy chair Lee Anderson rocked Mr Sunak’s authority by backing right-wing rebels trying to...

who served six years as South Carolina's governor and then two years as the ambassador to the United Nations, was asked by a voter during a town hall in Berlin, New Hampshire, on Wednesday to identify the cause of the Civil War.

Along the H-1 highway by the Barber’s Point exit, one of the many places that have a swastika along with the star of David graffitied onto signs. Those symbols can be seen for about 10 miles along the H-1 heading into town. “We think of...

Citizen Watch Report ^
The head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has thrown support behind the implementation of carbon consumption charges, a move that has sparked debates and concerns during COP28. While the intention is to address environmental concerns, the repercussions are already causing ripples. One
immediate impact is the anticipated increase in consumer pricing across the board. This added cost is expected to affect various sectors, potentially impacting the everyday lives of consumers. Critics argue that such charges could disproportionately burden average citizens, raising questions about the equity of the proposed solution.

The effort to electrify America's most popular and influential vehicle class is under way, but it appears to be faltering at the hands of reluctant motorists. This
week, Ford said it would lay off about 700 workers at the Detroit plant that manufactures its electric F-150 Lightning pickup truck and GM pushed back production of the Chevrolet Silverado EV, citing slowing demand. And Tesla CEO Elon Musk told investors during an earnings call on Wednesday, 'we dug our own grave' when referencing the company's much anticipated electric pickup Cybertruck.

Students at the University of Washington and across the country at Georgetown University gathered to praise the Hamas terrorists who butchered 1,300 Israelis over the weekend, launching the region into a bloody war. At
the University of Washington, video footage captured several Jewish students in tears as they pleaded with an administrator to put a stop to the pro-Palestinian rally, at which students condoned violence against Israel and the Jewish people. 'They want our people dead. They want us killed,' sobs one student to an administrator who appears to be listening, but indicating that there is noting he can do.

‘Outrageous’ Approval of New Moderna Shots for Kids Could Spark School Mandates, Doctor Warns

Parents should be concerned that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) earlier this month granted full approval to Moderna’s “Spikevax” COVID-19 vaccine for children 12 years old and older — because now that the vaccine for school-age kids is no longer an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) product, states and schools may
be more likely to mandate the shots, according to Dr. Meryl Nass.Nass, an internal medicine physician and member of the Children’s Health Defense (CHD) scientific advisory board, called the FDA’s decision “outrageous and illegitimate.”“The ACIP [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices] actually voted...

1922: Joseph O’Sullivan and Reginald Dunne, helping spark the Irish Civil War

| August 10th, 2009 | Headsman
On December 1921 at 22 Hans Place in Knightsbridge, a treaty was signed between a provisional Irish Government and the British to create what was called the Irish Free State. However only six months later, a few hundred yards away in Eaton Place, an assassination occurred, the reverberations of which could be
said to have helped start the Irish Civil War in 1922. At around midday of 22 June 1922, Field-Marshall Sir Henry Wilson unveiled a war memorial at Liverpool Street Station. He made a speech, quoted some relevant Kipling poetry and soon after returned by taxi to his home...
