Mark Alexander: Guess Who AOC Blames for the Surge in Violence Nationwide? | The Patriot Post
"...Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)...Attempting to deflect responsibility from her Marxist Squad and other radical Democrats who provoked and supported leftist violence in urban centers nationwide in 2020, while simultaneously calling to defund the police, she now claims Republican governors are responsible: 
“According to CBS News out of the Top 10 deadliest cities in America, 7 of them are in Republican-run states. … These poor cities are subjected to conservative state leaders that want to shoot them and enslave their women!”..."

Corporate Media Worries that Big Tech May Stop Handouts

Corporate Media Worries that Big Tech May Stop Handouts

The corporate media may lose some of the special treatment it was given by Big Tech in the years following Donald Trump’s 2016 election victory, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal.

According to the report, Facebook, which pays corporate media outlets including the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Wall Street Journal, tens of millions of dollars in annual fees to feature content in its News Tab, may not renew the payment agreements with those publishers.

Everything they told you about "cost savings" was a lie. Everything!

"...What was once seen by many Americans as an inconvenient low-budget option is now viewed by competitors as a “brutally efficient” innovator that is “upending America’s supermarkets” and “reshaping the industry along the way.”
The consumer base for “simple, fast, and cheap” is growing, with more and more shoppers willing to sacrifice comfortable shopping environments and high-end brands for no-frills practicality..."

Nancy Pelosi says 'Drag is what America is all about' - TheBlaze

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) made a special appearance on “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 7," where she heaped high praise on contestants for "the joy and beauty [drag queens] bring to the world." In return, the drag queen contestants gushed with adoration for Pelosi, gleefully praising her "tireless" fight for "freedom," as well as her infamous, condescending clap at former President Donald Trump after his State of the Union address in 2019.

Oil industry insider exposes Biden admin's incompetence, says they were 'shocked to learn' basic fact about production - TheBlaze

Oil industry insider exposes Biden admin's incompetence, says they were 'shocked to learn' basic fact about production - TheBlaze

Their demands — which sharply cut against President Joe Biden's liberal environmental policy goals — simultaneously exposed the Biden administration's ignorance of the complexities associated with oil production. The Financial Times claimed oil companies have not heeded the demands, but Bob McNally, the head of consultancy at Rapidan Energy, said something else is behind lagging production.

McNally, in fact, told the Financial Times the Biden administration was painfully unaware that oil production is not an overnight process.

Watch: Shoplifters Hit Grocery Store in Nation's Capital as Crime Crisis Worsens
"A Giant grocery chain location in Northeast Washington, D.C. — roughly one mile from the United States Capitol — was among the latest to be hit by apparently brazen thieves who quickly yet calmly empty shelves into carts and plastic bags before apparently making their way through the door without paying.
...The video tweeted out in Tuesday’s early afternoon hours shows a crew of at least three bandits wearing ski masks loading laundry detergent pods into a cart already containing what appears to be mayonnaise, salsa, and a jar of pickles.
Another fills a plastic trash bag with bottles of detergent and the third caught on video jogs down the aisle with a reusable shopping bag, presumably also filled with pilfered goods.

Pennsylvania Dem Says ‘Diseased’ GOP Must Be ‘Cleansed’ After Preaching ‘Unity’
"Pennsylvania Democratic congresswoman Chrissy Houlahan has attributed her past electoral success to her focus on "civility" and "unity." 
Now, she says the Republican Party is "diseased" and must be "cleansed."
Houlahan's comments came during a May 27 appearance on the Daily Beast‘s The New Abnormal podcast, which saw the congresswoman disparage Republicans as deplorable and anti-democratic.
"This is, in my opinion, a diseased Republican Party. And it needs to be cured and cleansed," Houlahan said. 
"So the stakes of having a Republican, as an example, in my seat are more than just policy differences. They are democracy, in my opinion."..."

Iceland: Carbon Capture plant operational - United Nations Western Europe
"Lauded as the world’s largest operational system for carbon capture and storage, the Orca plant in Iceland has been up and running since 8 September 2021.
...The cost of carbon capture and storage is another barrier. 
The Orca plant cost US$ 10–15 million to build and could draw down 4000 tonnes of CO2 each year when operating at full capacity. 
To put that number into context, this is equivalent to the emissions from about 870 cars, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency..."
