Biden signed a record 37 EO's in his first week and is averaging 12 more year than Trump.
"Kimmel asked him whether he could issue executive orders to get what they wanted on gun control, claiming, falsely, that Trump issued them “like Halloween candy.”
The president responded, “I have issued executive orders within the power of the presidency to be able to deal with everything having to do with guns, gun ownership… all of the things that are within my power.”
He went on to accuse Trump of abusing the constitution, saying he doesn’t want to “emulate” his predecessor.
“But what I don’t want to do, and I’m not being facetious, I don’t want to emulate Trump’s abuse of the constitution and constitutional authority,” Biden said.
That was quite the laugh, since Biden with his mandates has been far more authoritarian than President Donald Trump ever was. Plus he’s issued more executive orders already than did Trump..."
When libs and their union enforcers control transportation, this what you'll get!-------Unions plot wave of strikes to trigger summer of chaos
The Telegraph - Telegraph Online, Daily Telegraph, Sunday Telegraph - Telegraph -By Danny Boyle
- Boris Johnson will use a speech today as part of efforts to reset his leadership and tell Britons "things will get better". But could we be facing a summer of chaos, as unions threaten further strike action?
Union leaders have vowed to take "coordinated" action not seen since the 1926 General Strike ahead of a series of walkouts intended to cause chaos on railways, roads and at airports.

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

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.

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..."

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.

- 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?..."
