- “He said, ‘Yeah, well, that’s what they said,'” the quadruple murderer recalled. “He said, ‘They told me they’d let me plead out something small, and I’ll do just a couple of years in a camp, if I can give them something on Trump to get him impeached.’
- “He says, but the government told me I don’t have to prove what I say about Trump, as long as Trump’s people can’t disprove it,” Tartaglione said — adding that Epstein considered “making stuff up” to save his skin. Tartaglione never said what Epstein ultimately planned to do...

California ditches 'unachievable' scheme to mandate green trucks * WorldNetDaily * by Nick Pope, Daily Caller News Foundation
California ditches 'unachievable' scheme to mandate green trucks * WorldNetDaily * by Nick Pope, Daily Caller News Foundation:
"The trucking industry and American consumers can breathe a collective sigh of relief today after CARB finally bowed to reality and shelved its job-killing Advanced Clean Fleets regulation," American Trucking Associations President and CEO Chris Spear told Commercial Carrier Journal. "This unachievable mandate would have raised costs and caused disruption throughout our supply chain without delivering the promised environmental benefits."
And the media covered-up again!-----Instapundit - STATEMENT FROM SEN. TOMMY TUBERVILLE: I just read an extremely disturbing IG report.
Last December, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin was hospitalized and failed to follow the law by notifying the White House or Congress. 
Similarly, his deputy, Secretary Kathleen Hicks, also refused to follow protocol and report the transfer of authority.
Now, the Inspector General’s report just released reveals that this doesn’t just happen once. Secretary Austin did the same thing again five months later, last June, and he hid it from everyone...As a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, I am deeply, deeply disturbed to learn that we have had two significant lapses in the chain of command that have left our country wide open for attack...
I’d recommend calling Austin back to active duty, followed by a court-martial for dereliction, but he doesn’t seem fit to stand trial. But he’s fine to serve as SecDef, according to Joe Biden. - Stephen Green

"...creative people in the trades (electricians, truckers, etc.) were never sucked into the woke mindset
“THE LEFT LIVES IN A DIFFERENT REALITY”:
“Weinstein notes that creative people in the trades (electricians, truckers, etc.) were never sucked into the woke mindset, because their jobs require them to be based in unforgiving reality.
It was only among academics, PhDs and corporate workplaces that the woke virus spread.”

Trouble ahead!-----“Required to Ensure Power Grid Resiliency and Reliability”
“We sometimes forget it takes power to make power.
Billions of investments in wind and solar farms in recent years have created the perception that huge amounts of new electricity have come on line.” -Bernard L. Weinstein
Billions of investments in wind and solar farms in recent years have created the perception that huge amounts of new electricity have come on line.
- In fact, these additions have been largely offset by the closure of coal, nuclear, and some natural gas generating plants.
- According to the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), about 50 gigawatts of fossil fuel generation have dropped off the power grid over the past decade while more than 1,000 coal plants have been shuttered.
The substitution of intermittent renewable energy for base-load, 24/7 power has made the nation’s electric grids less resilient, less secure, and less reliable...
"Cage-free" criminals!-----Not Taking Crime Seriously California’s Prop 47 Exacerbated Crime and Drug Abuse
In November 2014, California voters approved a criminal justice reform measure, Proposition 47 (“Prop 47”), with almost 60% support. 
Ten years later, California voters are now considering rolling back some of its soft-on-crime policies.
- Prop 47 identified six “petty” crimes—grand theft, larceny, personal drug use, forgery, and two types of check fraud—and reclassified them.
- It downgraded these crimes, including thefts with property values under $950 and illegal drug possession for personal use, from felonies to misdemeanors...

Treasury secretary nominee corrects Democrat about 'clean energy race' against China | Blaze Media:
“Senator Wyden, just so we can frame this for everyone in the room, China will build a hundred new coal plants this year. There is not a clean energy race. There is an energy race," Bessent replied.
"China will build 10 nuclear plants this year. That is not solar. I am in favor of more nuclear plants. And I would note that the IRA, as scored by the CBO, is wildly out of control in terms of spending on the upside," he continued.

Special Counsel Unleashes on Joe and Hunter Biden in Blistering Final Report
Special Counsel Unleashes on Joe and Hunter Biden in Blistering Final Report:
Between the unscrupulous payments, scandalous and salacious videos of a naked Hunter Biden gallivanting with prostitutes, and the other tax and gun charges, Hunter played no small role in his father’s unceremonious ouster from his re-election bid.
But that doesn’t exactly get Joe Biden off the hook, either, Weiss noted.
WSJ Slams California's Climate Change Scapegoating, Identifies Real Culprits - Climate Change Dispatch
Attempts to pin the catastrophic California wildfires on the bogeyman of “climate change” are a deflection from the real culprits, the Wall Street Journal editorial board wrote Monday. - Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D.
The climate left is desperately trying to “change the subject from the failure of the state and local government to contain the fires that often accompany Santa Ana winds,” the WSJ editors note.
The climate left is desperately trying to “change the subject from the failure of the state and local government to contain the fires that often accompany Santa Ana winds,” the WSJ editors note.
- The op-ed first dismantles the ridiculous claim that climate change somehow caused the conflagration and then shows how state and local governments, and Gov. Gavin Newsom in particular, have abdicated their important role of protecting California residents from wildfire...
- The editors proceed to reproduce a chart from the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment that shows precipitation in the state going back 130 or so years. The chart does not show a trend but rather recurring wet and dry spells, with the latter being especially prevalent in the 1910s and 1920s “when carbon emissions were far less than they are today,” the editors explain...
- “Despite their fervent belief that climate change will have catastrophic consequences, Democrats in California perennially underinvest in water storage and land management,” they argue.
- Then when fires, water shortages, or floods inevitably happen, “Democrats blame climate change as if there is nothing they could do about any of it,” they write, concluding that what the state really needs is “political climate change.”
