In his dissent Justice Thomas argued mass mail-in voting, which was conducted in Pennsylvania for the first time ahead of the 2020 presidential election in November, combined with election rules being rewritten last minute, makes the process prone to fraud and mistrust. "The Constitution gives to each state legislature authority to determine the 'Manner' of federal elections...Yet both before and after the 2020 election, nonlegislative officials in various States took it upon themselves to set the rules instead. As a result, we received an unusually high number of petitions and emer- gency applications contesting those changes. The petitions here present a clear example.

The way we were-----The Tamale Wars
"Though they might not be the king of street food today, a hundred years ago Tamales dominated street corners, with tamale vendors becoming so popular that turf wars broke out.
Though it was briefly impossible to avoid tamaleros, they vanished almost as quickly as they came.
The history of the “Tamale Wars” is history that deserves to be remembered."

IMF Calls for Credit Score to be Tied to Internet Search History
"...the researchers argue that by using non-financial data, specifically “the history of online searches and purchases,” we can solve the problem of “certain kinds of people not having enough hard data (income, employment time, assets and debts) available.”
The authors of the piece claim that this move is a necessary innovation in order to compete with the rise of corporate cryptocurrencies...
...It should go without saying that giving this organization the power to track everyone’s search history can lead to some dark ramifications.
With private banks, notably JPMorgan and Chase Bank, already kicking conservatives off of their services, one can only imagine how much this would escalate with the IMF tracking everyone’s search history...Read all.

Yes, it is time to buy home generators.-----Fantastical Energy - American Thinker
Fantastical Energy - American Thinker
Energy issues are boring to many people, full of the sort of things the current wizards of academia and the press consider “white privilege” and “patriarchal” thinking...
...Reality does not comport with our imaginations.
...As the catastrophic results in Texas this week show us, weather modeling is as iffy as using your online astrologer to plan your investments. (It was supposed to be sunny and mild.) ...
“Renewable intermittency is the new systematic challenge to grid reliability.”
The guilty party will be our choice not to invest in pipelines and backup gas plants to support our desired renewables in the face of cold spells a lot more predictable than those that landed on Texas.
This outcome is all but guaranteed unless we get a better discussion than the one we’re having. Then something else will become manifest: When the design performance limitations of utility systems come into play, it will always be in the interest of politicians and utility executives to change the subject to global warming.
Somehow voters have to focus on the fact that unless we spend money to improve reliability, we will face more $9,000 per megawatt hour (instead of $50 per megawatt hour) as Texas just did, an increase in the cost of electricity that consumers will be stuck paying for anyway.

Now We Know Exactly How Press Got Wind About Cruz Family Vacation...And It's Awful - WayneDupree.com
"Whether or not you agree with Ted Cruz’s family vacation to Cancun is a topic for another story.
But it’s how the press got wind about the trip that is truly disgusting…I think we can all agree on that.
It turns out that the press found out about the family vacation thanks to one of Hedi Cruz’s friends.
That’s right, one of the friends of Ted’s wife turned on her and sent a private chat to the media.
...But leaked messages obtained by the local (leftist) news outlet Reform Austin reveal that his wife, Heidi, invited friends and neighbors for the getaway at the Ritz-Carlton, where she noted that the price for a room was $309 plus tax.
...Our country is so divided and hateful, that you can’t even trust your friends and your neighbors...Read all.

Alarming items stuffed inside House Dem's $1.9T stimulus bill: Health surveillance, animal COVID studies - TheBlaze:
House Democrats unveiled Friday the $1.9 trillion economic stimulus package they hope to pass by late next week. Included in the bill are $1,400 stimulus checks and numerous other pandemic-related relief measures, like additional funding for state and local governments and more federal unemployment benefits.
The bill — which was "stitched together" by the Democratic-controlled House Budget Committee, according to Reuters — was also filled with dozens of items completely unrelated to direct pandemic relief.

China Built 3 Times as Many Coal Plants in 2020 as Rest of World
"A joint report released Wednesday by the U.S.-based Global Energy Monitor (GEM) and Helsinki-based Center for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) found China built over three times as much coal-fired electrical power capacity in 2020 as the rest of the world combined.
As Voice of America News (VOA) delicately observed, this tremendous surge of coal-burning power plants, which are ostensibly one of the worst sources of global warming emissions, would seem to “undermine” China’s loudly declared “short-term climate goals” and Chinese dictator Xi Jinping’s promises to make his country “carbon-neutral” by 2060...Read all.

White People Aren’t Human
"The Nation of Islam may be the largest racist religion in America.
It is certainly the most influential with Louis Farrakhan’s original Million Man March drawing some 400,000 racists and allies of the hate group, including a young Barack Obama, who would later be photographed as a senator with the black supremacist leader at a Congressional Black Caucus event.
...Despite a history of violent terrorism by the Nation of Islam and its spinoff groups, its racist theology which believes that white people are subhuman devils who will be killed off, and its antisemitism and conspiracy theories, the hate group is also incredibly culturally influential.
...One of the most fundamental beliefs of the Nation of Islam is that white people aren’t human...Read all.

Why your swipes on Hinge and OKCupid might be racist
- Authors of "The Dating Divide," find that black women face the most racial and sexual discrimination on dating apps.
"In a new book, “The Dating Divide: Race and Desire in the Era of Online Romance,” sociologists Jennifer Lundquist, Celeste Vaughan Curington and Ken Hou-Lin show how online dating sites exacerbate racial divisions.
They found that race-related “preference” filters on digital dating platforms help foster racist attitudes — especially toward black women.
“Filtering out people based on race is a normal practice on dating apps,” Lundquist told The Post.
“The idea of having racial preferences is unacceptable and illegal in any other arena,” she added. “But it’s literally built into the structure of these dating apps.”...Read all.
This is NUTS!-----FRONTIERS OF SCIENCE:
Instapundit--FRONTIERS OF SCIENCE:
"Researcher analyses fatphobia through her experience.
“Nina Navajas Pertegás, assistant professor and researcher at the UV Department of Social Work and Social Services, has carried out a study on the consequences of fatphobia and the cultural imposition of thinness through her own experience, with a body itinerary that ranges from her childhood to adulthood.
This scientific methodology, called autoethnography, has helped the researcher to conclude that the stigma of being fat generates a substantial renunciation of physical and psychological well-being to favor the normative body ideal, in which those people whose body is not normative are marginalized.”

Texans now getting hit with massive electric bills; highest reported so far is $17,000 - TheBlaze:
