And that's just the ones who got caught!-----CRIMINALS DON’T ‘GROW OUT OF CRIME
Instapundit--CRIMINALS DON’T ‘GROW OUT OF CRIME
"That’s the conclusion of a 10-year study by the U.S. Sentencing Commission that found, according to Hans Bader, “over an eight-year period, violent offenders returned to crime at a 63.8% rate.
The median time to rearrest was 16 months for these violent offenders.
So, most violent offenders released from prison committed more crimes.
Even among those offenders over age 60, 25.1% of violent offenders were rearrested.”
Of course, nobody with even minimal common sense needed a federal study to know that criminals typically continue being criminals once they spent time in prison, if only because prison is where they learn new criminal techniques and skills.--Posted by

Mitch McConnell sends House Democrats stern message after police arrest armed man near Brett Kavanaugh's house - TheBlaze:
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) delivered a stern message to House Democrats on Wednesday after police arrested an armed man near the residence of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
If any ONE of them had done their job, the children would be alive today. Every one failed. And their power will not diminish.
They all promised to keep the children SAFE:
The 4 levels of "safety" guaranteed by these 4 levels of government.
1. Social workers/police/teachers who scrub violent juvenile's criminal records.
2. The FBI/Brady Bill promising gun purchasers would be scrutinized.
3. The school leaders promising secured, locked doors.
3. The school leaders promising secured, locked doors.
4. The local police promising fast response!
- EVERY ONE FAILED!

Note they warn "blackouts", not "brownouts".-----The Energy ‘Transition’ — a Leap into the Dark
The Energy ‘Transition’ — a Leap into the Dark
Summer is around the corner, and we suggest you prepare by buying an emergency generator, if you can find one in stock.
- Not for the first time, it strikes me that the transition away from fossil fuels may be moving rather more quickly than the technology upon which it is supposed to rely.
Summer is around the corner, and we suggest you prepare by buying an emergency generator, if you can find one in stock.
Last week the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) warned that two-thirds of the U.S. could experience blackouts this summer.
Welcome to the “green energy transition.”
We’ve been warning for years that climate policies would make the grid more vulnerable to vacillations in supply and demand....
...Meanwhile, the WSJ adds:
Natural-gas-fired plants can help pick up the slack, but there aren’t enough of them to back up all of the renewables coming onto the grid.
...Even Bloomberg...“The pace of our grid transformation is out of sync” with the physical realities of the existing power network, Moura said.
Moura?

That would be John Moura, director of reliability assessment and performance analysis for the North American Electric Reliability Corporation, a regulatory body that oversees grid stability. Oh.
Perhaps now would not be the moment to overload the grid further by “nudging” (or more) drivers into electric vehicles..."

DOLT!-----Chevy Volt Short-Circuit: Virtue-Signaling GM Exec Gets Owned on Clean Energy
Chevy Volt Short-Circuit: Virtue-Signaling GM Exec Gets Owned on Clean EnergyWhen pressed, Zimmerman said, “Actually, Lansing feeds the building,” referring to the local utility company. “Lansing feeds power to the building.”..."
“What really powers electric vehicles like the Chevy Volt” is not a question GM Environment and Energy Policy executive Kristin Zimmerman is comfortable answering, as you’ll see in today’s must-watch clip.
...Then things went south when someone asked, “So what’s charging the batteries right now?”
Just to be clear, Zimmerman is no dummy. She has multiple degrees, including a Ph.D. in Engineering Mechanics.

Just to be clear, Zimmerman is no dummy. She has multiple degrees, including a Ph.D. in Engineering Mechanics.
As you’re about to see, it isn’t that she doesn’t know the answer — it’s that she doesn’t seem to want to admit it while showing off GM’s renewed EV efforts.
“Well, it’s here,” Zimmerman said. “It’s coming from the building.”
You can’t make this stuff up. Just watch the clip already.

"...America’s troubles aren’t from “We the People.”
We the People are decent, law-abiding folk.
We’re working jobs and raising our kids.
We’re good neighbors.
We play between the lines, as they say. "...
We’re being crushed, increasingly daily.
- Inflation climbs...
- The U.S.-Mexico border – what border, you say?...
- Crime grows worse and keeps spreading....
- Is an ominous, long, hot summer in the offing? The Department of Homeland Security warns “yes.” But do we trust Biden’s DHS?
From Fox News, June 7:
"Threat actors have recently mobilized to violence due to factors such as personal grievances, reactions to current events, and adherence to violent extremist ideologies, including racially or ethnically motivated or anti-government/anti-authority violent extremism," DHS said...
Is DHS hinting that hordes of white supremacists and American First patriots will cause mayhem in an election year? Curiously coincidental, no?..."

CNN data reporter lays out devastating case why Republicans are in 'best position' to dominate midterm elections - TheBlaze
CNN data reporter lays out devastating case why Republicans are in 'best position' to dominate midterm elections - TheBlaze:
After observing that midterm election results are closely linked to presidential approval, Enten explained the real problem for Democrats: Biden's approval on the economy is -26%, the lowest since Jimmy Carter in the late 1970s.
Biden's embarrassing marks on the economy are thus the "big drag" for Democrats because Americans overwhelmingly are concerned about the economy, especially in a year of sky-high inflation and record-high gas prices.

Molotov Cocktail Lawyers Plead Guilty to Reduced Charges, Likely Will Get Only Two-Year Sentences
“Under revised agreements, the defendants were charged with conspiracy to commit arson and possess an explosive device, with prosecutors recommending sentences of 18 to 24 months.”
The two former lawyers who threw a Molotov cocktail at a police car during the George Floyd riots have pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges and are expected to receive reduced sentences.
As we noted previously, they were originally facing a much harsher sentence.
...Prosecutors in this case have bent over backwards to ensure shorter sentences for these two.

Journalist attempts road trip in electric car, ends up spending more time charging than sleeping. 'Fumes never smelled so sweet,' she says upon returning to gas fuel. - TheBlaze:
In a column for the newspaper published this month, the reporter chronicled the difficult journey with all of its pitfalls. It included a shorter range than expected, finicky charging cords, loads of slower-than-advertised charging stations, and large swaths of the country without any "fast" charging stations at all, among other hardships.
In the end, Wolfe said she and her road trip companion, Mack, spent more hours waiting to charge than they did sleeping — which is not exactly a recipe for a successful and enjoyable trip.

- Environmentalists applauded the vote while German automakers warned there is a lack of charging stations to make the plan feasible.
"...Lawmakers voted to mandate automakers to cut carbon-dioxide emissions by 100% within 13 years, essentially banning the sale in the 27-nation bloc of new cars powered by gasoline or diesel.
EU lawmakers also endorsed a 55% reduction in automobile carbon dioxide emissions..."
