They've been lying!-----Solar and wind are only considered to be “clean energy” sources because of their low carbon load.
Once you dig beyond the surface and consider material and land requirements for these renewables projects, it really becomes apparent that there is nothing “clean” / “green” about them. - Chris Martz@ChrisMartzWX
Other environmental impacts are seldom, if ever considered...
A single 1,000-megawatt nuclear reactor occupying 1 square mile of land, operating with a capacity factor of 0.93 can power roughly 775,000 homes over the course of a calendar year.
Not considering battery storage, in order to power the same number of homes with either solar or wind, it would require:
• Solar PV: 4,000 MW of installed power and 24,000 acres of land (37.5× as much land)
• Onshore wind: 2,800 MW of installed power and 89,600 acres of land (140× as much land)
That doesn’t sound very “green” to me.

GOP Sounds Alarm: Illegal Aliens Faking Accidents, Injuries for Payouts
Illegal aliens are being recruited to join sophisticated criminal networks in the United States that stage accidents and injuries to get payouts through the nation’s personal injury system - John Binder
In a letter led by Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA), the group of Republicans warned Bondi that personal injury fraud is a growing industry in the U.S. that requires immediate attention from the Department of Justice (DOJ).
...“According to the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud, insurance fraud costs the U.S. $308 billion annually, with $45 billion attributable to property and casualty insurance fraud. More importantly, these activities put innocent motorists at risk of injury or even death.”

School Choice
Now that Texas and South Carolina have passed school choice bills, parents will be able to choose the best school for their kids in 17 states. 
Why not all states? - John Stossel
After all, competition improves services.
But in most of America, parents have little or no choice when it comes to which school their kids attend.

Kathryn Porter: The True Affordability of Net Zero
My report reviews in depth the costs of renewable generation and their impact on our bills, driving British industrial electricity costs to the highest in the developed world, and our domestic costs to fourth highest.
- My report sets out all of the additional costs applied to bills as a result of net zero policies which in 2023-24 amounted to over £17 billion, and are projected to increase to over £20 billion per year in 2029-30.
- My analysis indicates that had Britain continued with its legacy gas-based power system in the period since 2006, consumers would have been almost £220 billion better off (2025 money) even taking into account the impact of the gas crisis...
'Self-deport' flights begin as some illegal migrants take advantage of Trump's tempting offer: Report | Blaze Media
'Self-deport' flights begin as some illegal migrants take advantage of Trump's tempting offer: Report | Blaze Media:
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem has urged all immigrants in the U.S. illegally to participate in the program. "If you are here illegally, self-deportation is the best, safest, and most cost-effective way to leave the United States to avoid arrest," Noem said in a statement on May 5.
Those who voluntarily step forward on the app and make "meaningful strides in completing" their departure may have the opportunity to return to the U.S. someday. They will also avoid arrest and perhaps lengthy pre-deportation detention.

Fascinating, great read!-----Trump’s Polling Better Than Media Thinks
However, a closer look at today’s polling reveals a far different story. - J.T. YoungThe dispersed shot-pattern of President Trump’s approval ratings proves he’s still confounding pollsters.
For weeks, and especially since Trump’s announcement of sweeping tariffs on what he dubbed Liberation Day, the establishment media’s prevailing narrative has been that the president is plummeting in the polls...
- But what of the quality of the pollsters themselves?..
The breakdown according to pollster performance is strikingly similar to the breakdown by respondent type...
Not only did Trump poll better with the most motivated respondents, he also did markedly better with the higher-ranked pollsters.
Not only did Trump poll better with the most motivated respondents, he also did markedly better with the higher-ranked pollsters.
To paraphrase Mark Twain, reports of Trump’s demise in the polls are greatly exaggerated. It isn’t the first time a general overview of polls has gotten him wrong. It likely won’t be the last. There’s a reason why Trump is able to disregard polls with impunity; and there’s all the more reason we should scrutinize them carefully.
