Russian state TV airs racist and homophobic attack on Karine Jean-Pierre | Washington Examiner

• Russian pundits attacked White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Thursday in a rant that claimed Jean-Pierre was only promoted because she was "gay and black."
  

"The critics claimed she had not received the position because of her qualifications but because of her race, sexual orientation, and gender and said she would be replaced by a "white, heterosexual male" in a month or two.
..."I am obviously acutely aware that my presence at this podium represents a few firsts," Jean-Pierre said. "I am a black, gay, immigrant woman, the first of all three of those to hold this position..."

California blackouts caused by overreliance on green energy | EDITORIAL | Las Vegas Review-Journal

• EDITORIAL: Green energy leaves Golden State facing blackouts
  

"A state running out of electricity used to be a once-in-a-generation political crisis. 

In California, it’s now a regular occurrence thanks to the state’s fealty to pie-in-the-sky green energy rhetoric.
California officials recently projected the state’s energy needs for this summer, and the news isn’t good. The analysis concludes the state will experience significant power shortages. 

• During peak usage, the shortfall will be equivalent to the electricity used by 1.3 million homes. 
• In a worst-case scenario, the deficit could be equivalent to the power used by 3.75 million homes..."

Joy Behar calls Tucker Carlson 'almost irrelevant,' citing his audience numbers. But audience numbers for 'The View' slap back. - TheBlaze: 

One also wonders how irrelevant Carlson is if politicians and the mainstream media repeatedly devote a large amount of attention to covering the things Carlson says.

Althouse: "...alcohol is the third leading preventable cause of cancer, behind tobacco and obesity."

Althouse: "In recent years, a growing number of medical and public health groups have introduced public awareness campaigns warning people to drink with caution, noting that alcohol is the third leading preventable cause of cancer, behind tobacco and obesity."
"There's not too much talk about alcohol causing cancer, but there's even less talk about obesity causing cancer. 

In fact, I don't believe I'd ever heard that obesity can cause cancer, and yet, apparently, it's the second leading preventable cause of cancer.
...Here's what the CDC has to say. It lists "13 Cancers... associated with overweight and obesity"

• Meningioma (cancer in the tissue covering brain and spinal cord)
• Adenocarcinoma of the esophagus
• Multiple myeloma (cancer of blood cells)
• Kidneys
• Uterus
• Ovaries
• Thyroid
• Breast (post-menopausal women)
• Liver
• Gallbladder
• Upper stomach
• Pancreas
• Colon and rectum

This is a huge deal, but we don't hear about it — presumably because it's strongly believed that telling people to lose weight only makes it worse..."

DeSantis signs law banning protests outside homes - TheBlaze: 

"Sending unruly mobs to private residences, like we have seen with the angry crowds in front of the homes of Supreme Court justices, is inappropriate," DeSantis said, according to a press release. "This bill will provide protection to those living in residential communities and I am glad to sign it into law." DeSantis, an incumbent Republican governor, is running for a second term in office. He has become an enormously popular figure among conservatives. Prior to serving as governor, DeSantis served in the U.S. House of Representatives as a lawmaker from the Sunshine State.

"...The law required publicly traded companies headquartered in California to have up to three female directors, depending on the size of the board, by 2021 or face fines.

...When then-Gov. Jerry Brown signed the bill into law in September 2018, he noted it could be overturned but said but he wanted to send a message during the #MeToo era.
"Given all the special privileges that corporations have enjoyed for so long, it's high time corporate boards include the people who constitute more than half the 'persons' in America," Brown wrote in announcing his signing of the bill..."

Yes, really.

Nolte: Watch Two Simple Questions Unravel Karine Jean-Pierre, Biden's Press Secretary: 

Karine Jean-Pierre held her first briefing as America’s new press secretary on Monday and melted down into a word blob over two fairly straightforward questions.

“I am a black, gay, immigrant woman. The first of all three of those to hold this position,” Jean-Pierre announced to the press corps Monday. Well, no one of any substance gives a shit about any of that. What we’re mostly interested in is “qualified,” and on that particular virtue, the jury is still out.

This should scare the poop out of us!

Oregon To Allow Ballots 7 Days After Elections With New Postage Date Law

Oregon To Allow Ballots 7 Days After Elections With New Postage Date Law
"...The latest example being a new law that allows ballots to be counted long after election night as long as the envelope was post marked for election day. 

That could even mean it was put in a postage box after 8:00 PM on election night. 

That could mean piles of extra ballots found sitting in a bin in some post office that employees “forgot about” until seven days after an election. 

In the event of a close race separated by only a few votes, that could mean the public would have to wait weeks for that election to be certified.
