Exactly.
And we should also look into why they don't want people using Natural Gas (an abundant resource in this country)?
Maybe it is more difficult to steal money from it's funding, so they can't line their own pockets?
Possibly it might also be harder to threaten and control people with it?
Electricity enables them (govt) to spy on people, (Smart meters exc...), and they could potentially threaten to turn off your power if you dare to disagree with them, or you call for their corruption to be investigated exc...(TPTB would also LOVE to force everyone into a social credit system).
In any case, this BS "investigation" is just Newsolini trying to act like he gives a đź’© about the peasants.
Thank you for mentioning that MIA_eccl1212.
First, since FDR's state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices got the scope of Congress's Commerce Clause powers wrong imo, arguably a scandal, 19th century justices having emphasized the already reasonably clear meaning of the Commerce Clause that Congress has NO power to regulate INTRAstate commerce, in-state natural gas production in this example, your comment about FBI coverup makes sense.
"Article I, Section 8, Clause 3: To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;"
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added].” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
Also, given Justice Joseph Story's clarification of Constitution's Article IV, Section 4 in the context of the sovereign states, I question if Section 4 is properly interpreted in the context of the fed's constitutionally limited powers as limiting requests by popularly elected state government leaders for federal assistance with anything actually to domestic violence.
"Article IV, Section 4 (4.4): The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence [emphases added]."
”§ 1819. It may not be amiss further to observe, (in the language of another commentator,) that every pretext for intermeddling with the domestic concerns of any state, under colour of protecting it against domestic violence, is taken away by that part of the provision, which renders an application from the legislature, or executive authority of the state endangered necessary to be made to the general government, before its interference can be at all proper [emphasis added]. On the other hand, this article becomes an immense acquisition of strength, and additional force to the aid of any state government, in case of an internal rebellion, or insurrection against its authority. The southern states, being more peculiarly open to danger from this quarter, ought (he adds) to be particularly tenacious of a constitution, from which they may derive such assistance in the most critical periods.” —Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution, Article 4, Section 4.
"In every event, I would rather construe so narrowly as to oblige the nation to amend, and thus declare what powers they would agree to yield, than too broadly, and indeed, so broadly as to enable the executive and the Senate to do things which the Constitution forbids." —Thomas Jefferson: The Anas, 1793.
In other words, Newsom's request for federal investigation might be just another colour, as Story might have put it, a convenient excuse for corrupt, constitutionally undefined political party to abuse federal powers to divert attention from alleged state mismanagement of natural resources.
Finally, the inevitable remedy for ongoing, corrupt post-17A ratification political party treason (imo)...
All MAGA patriots need to wake up their RINO federal and state lawmakers by making the following clear to them.
If they don’t publicly support either a resolution, or a Constitutional Convention, to effectively "secede" ALL the states from the unconstitutionally big federal government by amending the Constitution to repeal the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (popular voting for federal senators) Amendments (16&17A), doing so before the primary elections in 2024, that YOU will primary them.
If the proposed amendment was limited strictly to repealing 16&17A, relatively little or ideally no discussion would be needed before ratification of the amendment imo.
With 16&17A out of the way, my hope is that Trump 47 becomes the FIRST president of a truly constitutionally limited power federal government.
In the meanwhile, I'm not holding my breath for significant MAGA legislation to appear in the first 100 days of new term for what may still prove to be another RINO-controlled House.
Trump will hopefully do another round of primarying RINOs for 2024 elections.
High gas prices doesn’t affect him life in the slightest. It is just about getting dumb voters.
Just pop over to stockcharts and punch in $nasgas. What surging natural gas prices?
California Gov. Gavin Newsom stumped on California natural gas prices.
And the democrats what him to replace Biden aka no change.
