Crowder Destroys Pelosi - TheBlaze

Crowder Destroys Pelosi - TheBlaze

Words matter, especially on matters of law. Pelosi, like many congressmen, misused legal terminology to weave a narrative. Whether by accident or by design, Pelosi created a record that is not factual, and Crowder was all over it.

Parent of 'de-transitioned' child speaks out against 'trans sanctuary' bill - TheBlaze

“Parents in the state of California have lost custody of their children merely by calling their child by their legal name. S.B. 107 must not pass,” Friday began. “California cannot just wipe away an out-of-state agreement addressing which parent controls the medical health of a child.”

S.B. 107 would give the state "exclusive jurisdictional basis for making an initial child custody determination, and permits a California court to assume temporary emergency jurisdiction in specified circumstances."

And the media still covers for that fraud??-----That Biden cheat sheet was apparently real

That Biden cheat sheet was apparently real
"When I first saw this story crop up on social media yesterday, I’ll confess that a part of me hoped it wasn’t true. 
A video captured by C-SPAN during a meeting President Biden attended with wind industry executives appeared to show the President holding up a “cheat sheet” containing detailed instructions as to what she should and shouldn’t do during the meeting. 
The rules were so basic as to sound absurd and the New York Post described them as “comically detailed.” 
People have gotten so good at photoshopping images these days that I decided to hold off on writing anything about it because it still seemed possible that it might be fake. But it wasn’t..."

Dutch power grid can't handle influx of electric car charging points | NL Times
"...The growing demand for electric vehicles and accompanying charging stations is quickly overloading the power grid, grid operators confirmed to the broadcaster.
According to Rutger Croon of ElaanNL, the power grid in some 3,000 neighborhoods won’t have room for more charging stations within the next three years
...Grid operator Stedin also told BNR that the government must invest heavily in the rollout of smart charging “otherwise the grid will be too crowded.” 
The other option is to upgrade the power grid. 
“But that costs a lot of money and is a social choice. So we’d rather not do that.”..."

'Top Gun: Maverick' Success: Americans Want Woke-Free Films | National Review

'Top Gun: Maverick' Success: Americans Want Woke-Free Films | National Review

One big hook is that its action scenes are not merely fierce and engaging, they unabashedly celebrate the military. People who don’t get out to the movies much want to see TG:M because there’s nothing else like it. Along with small business, the military is one of only two beloved institutions left, and yet Hollywood mostly leaves unslaked this thirst for red-blooded, let’s-smoke-those-bogeys jingoism. Another plus is that the movie’s characters are simple and its storytelling clean, linear, and uncluttered.

Not simply "silly". Insane!

"June 1 was the start of a new era for Michigan’s 400,000-plus health care professionals, who now face a state requirement to take implicit bias training, through Michigan’s Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs.
  • “New applicants for licensure or registration will need to complete a minimum of 2 hours of training, and applicants for renewal will need to complete a minimum of 1 hour of training each year,” read the announcement on LARA’s website. 
  • “The annual training curriculum can cover a variety of topics related to implicit bias but must incorporate strategies to reduce disparities including the administration of self-assessments.”...

Car Dealers Reveal an Alarming Problem with Getting Your Electric Vehicle Serviced

Electric vehicles are supposed to allow owners to grin giddily as they pass one gas station after another, saving the driver hundreds with every pump they pass. But there are an awful lot of issues on the downside that EV dealers are not exactly thrilled to tell potential buyers. For instance. What happens when your EV breaks down and you need service?

How Did America Become a Nation of Slobs? - Intellectual Takeout
"One evening in early April I was waiting for my ten-year-old twin granddaughters to finish their indoor soccer practice when a girl their age approached me and said,
“Your coat looks really nice.”

It was a wet, chilly evening, and I was wearing a London Fog given me thirty years ago by an elderly widow whose deceased husband no longer had to fret about the rain or the cold.
Though I thanked the girl, her comment took me aback
  • Then I looked at the other adults milling around me, and thought, as I often think nowadays, that all of them were dressed like…well, like slobs. 
  • Several were wearing sweat pants and hoodies, others ragged trousers and rumpled sweaters. 
  • One woman, a thirty-something mom, wore designer jeans torn artfully at the knees...."

US Navy's LBGTQ-themed video touting 'correct pronouns,' gender identity, creating a 'safe space' is getting lambasted: 'You're gonna lose the next war' - TheBlaze

An LBGTQ-themed video from the U.S. Navy that champions the usage of "correct pronouns," the importance of gender identity, and the goal of making a "safe space for everyone" is getting soundly ridiculed — in fact, one commenter reacting to the clip wrote to Americans that "you're gonna lose the next war."

"Minnesota state Sen. Foung Hawj (D) was never a fan of the “Asian carp” label commonly applied to four imported fish species that are wreaking havoc in the U.S. heartland, infesting numerous rivers and bearing down on the Great Lakes.
But the last straw came when an Asian business delegation arriving at the Minneapolis airport encountered a sign reading “Kill Asian Carp.” 
...Now some other government agencies are taking the same step in the wake of anti-Asian hate crimes that surged during the coronavirus pandemic. 
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service quietly changed its designation to “invasive carp” in April..."
