Democrats Unanimous As House Passes Bill Forcing Schools To Let Male Athletes Compete In Girls’ Sports | The Daily Caller
"The Democratically controlled House of Representatives voted Friday 236-173 in favor of the Equality Act, which would require schools to include male athletes who identify as transgender girls on female sports teams.
Eight Republicans crossed party lines to vote for the bill, which had unanimous Democratic support.
The bill amends the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to make “sexual orientation and gender identity” protected characteristics under federal anti-discrimination law.
Among other things, that would force public schools to expand female athletic teams to include biological males who identify as transgender girls.
Republican Florida Rep. Greg Steube introduced a last-minute amendment to the bill that would have preserved Title IX’s protections of female athletic teams, but Democrats rejected it..."

Every Wind Turbine and Solar Panel Built Today Will Be Scrap Metal by 2050 - American Experiment
Every Wind Turbine and Solar Panel Built Today Will Be Scrap Metal by 2050 - American Experiment
"Here today, scrap metal by 2050.
That’s the rough life of wind turbines and solar panels, which only have useful lifetimes of 20 and 30 years, respectively, according to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and Energy Sage.
That’s a lot of money to spend on part-time energy sources that do not last as long as coal, natural gas, or nuclear plants, which can run for 40 to 80 years..."
"Here today, scrap metal by 2050.
The short useful lifetimes of wind turbines and solar panels are one of the least talked about, but most important, aspects of energy policy.
This fact becomes even more important if we are to believe liberal politicians that claim we need to spend billions of dollars on these energy sources because climate change is an “existential crisis.”
These short lifetimes have profound implications on the cost of using wind and solar.
This is particularly bad news because Xcel Energy plans to squander $7.5 billion building 3,000-4,000 MW of solar (based on today’s costs for solar) and spend $2 billion maintaining wind turbines through 2034, even though these assets will still depend on natural gas backup when the wind isn’t blowing or the sun isn’t shining.That’s a lot of money to spend on part-time energy sources that do not last as long as coal, natural gas, or nuclear plants, which can run for 40 to 80 years..."

Hate Crime Hoaxes Are More Common Than You Think - WSJ
Hate Crime Hoaxes Are More Common Than You Think - WSJ:
"When I asked Wilfred Reilly about last week’s appointment of a special prosecutor in Chicago to take up the Jussie Smollett case, he was cautiously optimistic.
Mr. Reilly is author of a new book, “Hate Crime Hoax,” in which he details how the initial publicity for supposed hate crimes tends all but to disappear if the allegations are exposed as fake.
...Mr. Reilly eventually compiled a database of 346 hate-crime allegations and determined that less than a third were genuine.
Turning his attention to the hoaxes, he put together a data set of more than 400 confirmed cases of fake allegations that were reported to authorities between 2010 and 2017.
He allows that the exact number of false reports is probably unknowable, but what can be said “with absolute confidence is that the actual number of hate crime hoaxes is indisputably large,” he writes. “We are not speaking here of just a few bad apples.”
...The sad reality is that there is no shortage of individuals and entities with a vested interest in exaggerating racial tensions in the U.S.—from civil-rights organizations to corporate diversity officers to professors of race and gender studies.
...But Mr. Reilly has a larger point to make.
The Smollett case isn’t an outlier.
Increasingly, it’s the norm.
And the media’s relative lack of interest in exposing hoaxes that don’t involve famous figures is a big part of the problem."

Fox Expert: New York, California High-Tax Exodus 'Just Beginning'
Fox Expert: New York, California High-Tax Exodus 'Just Beginning':
The recent state and local tax (or SALT) deduction cap is pushing some residents out of states with higher tax rates, and some believe it will get worse.
The 2017 “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” introduced a $10,000 limit on SALT deductions, and the consequences are now becoming apparent. Some Americans are responding to the change by moving into states where they can limit their government fiscal liabilities.

"Annual growth will soon be negative everywhere except Africa.
For almost every issue we talk about on TreeHugger, there are always comments that the biggest cause of all our problems is population, that there are just too many people.
But as we have noted before, population growth is slowing and we really have a consumption crisis, not a population crisis.
But as we have noted before, population growth is slowing and we really have a consumption crisis, not a population crisis.
Now, the United Nations Population Division has revised their population projections down again, as growth is declining more quickly than expected, populations are shrinking everywhere except Africa, and even it is slowing down.

According to the Economist,
Birth rates are falling faster than expected in some developing countries. In the late 1980s Kenya had a fertility rate of 6.5, implying a woman could expect to have that many children. Two years ago the UN reckoned Kenya’s fertility rate would drop to 2.1 (the point at which the population sustains itself naturally) only in the late 2070s. Because of new data, it now thinks Kenya will reach that point a decade earlier.Read all.

"Banning people from social media, academia and other groups because they support Trump has less to do with the progressive left's personal dislike for Trump and more to do with the fact that Trump presents them with yet another convenient excuse to keep doing what they have always done.
Collectivism is a Ponzi scheme, a con game. If you are too aware to participate in the con, you must be exiled.
Senator Barry Goldwater had none of the personal issues that Trump brought to the White House, yet if you look at the 1964 presidential campaign, you will see almost exactly the same rhetoric used against Goldwater and the GOP.
Over 50 years of the same old, same old.
Goldwater was a racist. He was mentally ill. Republicans hate the poor and old people. He was a gun nut. He was a warmonger.
The biggest change is that the Democrats are no longer afraid to expose themselves as communists, something unthinkable in the Cold War 60's.
From the article:
"But the most striking echo of the Goldwater campaign is in a media that often functions as an adjunct to the Democratic campaign. Fifty-two years ago, such naked partisanship in the coverage of a national election was unprecedented, and many Goldwater supporters saw it as a violation of a public trust. That these days, such media behavior is nearly a given shows how much Americans’ expectations of journalists have changed—with enduring consequences both for the profession and for the nation."
Nothing new under the sun.
Commies gonna commie."

Sheriffs: Legal marijuana causing more crime, accidents
"The nation’s sheriffs are calling on Washington and state capitals to slow the rush to legalize marijuana because they are seeing a surge in crime and highway accidents in areas where it is already legal to buy.
The National Sheriffs’ Association polled its members on the impact of legal marijuana and found that it is causing significant problems and costing departments more money to handle the growing crisis.
- Some 65% said that crime has increased where marijuana has been legalized.
- Eighty-four percent linked it to impaired driving and accidents.
- And 74% said that they need “an increase in personnel, resources and training” to handle the surge in marijuana-related cases..."
