We have had one black President and one black Vice President, neither of whom is descended from any black slaves in the US, and both of whom are descended from white slaveowners in the Western Hemisphere.

In reading Leonard Levy’s “Origins of the Bill of Rights” he repeatedly pointed out that use of the word “shall” was a key to producing those. Previously too many pronouncements had used the word “may”.
It's standard code language (I enforced the fire code and associated codes for 25 years which are the law for any jurisdiction that formally adopts it). "May" means you have some options. "Shall" means this is the way it's gotta be.

If they’d said, no more coal or natural gas, everything goes to electricity now, there would have been a lot of resistance. Easier to vilify coal now and go after natural gas later, after the precedent was est ablished.
Who knows if this was their strategy or it just evolved that way.
They have a problem now with AI. They want it more than humans, but they don’t have enough energy. Will they turn to nuclear?
After Lemmon and Fonda et al vilified nuclear, can they go back to it now? Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia/Eurasia, whatever the Party says.

"Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon believes this is the first time the FACE Act, which the Biden administration used to target pro-life activists, has been used to civilly prosecute an attack on a house of worship."
I think the statute is a bit scary, if there is such a wide range for interpretation. I don't want Congress to give an administration and bureaucrats that amount of latitude.
he depended on NannyP for far too long - they were a team you know.
You should have seen them at lunch one day explaining a political tactic called the wrap up smear.... “ and stab them in the back” ( their words) both laughing hysterically

I posted one video where a female cop had her gun taken away from her and she begged the perp not to shoot her. A man cop had to take control of the situation.

Got new for you a 97 lbs girl soaking wet can take up three or four big burly cops to put her down. The guy in that video was not resitting as hard as he could, what he did was almost passive. If he had been on PCP or bath-salts it could quite possibly taken a few bullets.
