Speaking of insurance, guess who gets to pick up the tab for the increase in accidents and injuries?
The rest of us.
Because socialism.
And it will be Biden’s fault.-

Well in good news, I bet you 80% of adults in Texas have no idea the legislature is even in session right now.Well in good news, I bet you 80% of adults in Texas have no idea the legislature is even in session right now.

Surprised that it doesn't require that the curriculum be developed by the NRA.
That will be the TEA, so there is plenty of time. -
Got a friend who has been keeping tabs on the Lege and usually will send a text in the group chat when outrageous shit is going down in the House/Senate. Every time he does it just raises my blood pressure to the moon and today is no different, these chuds in the House rejected an amendment that would add de-escelation techniques to the curriculum of this class...so maybe kids will try to solve their problems without blasting people away first.
De-escalation is so woke.-

Interesting quote from McCarthy
“If you’re going to be a large employer inside this state, you should also abide by the rules and run your business and don’t think you should get into politics,” he said, later adding, “You can take whatever position you want, but remember, if you’re elected to run a business, that’s what your shareholders want you to do.”
Now Republicans are concerned about business getting into politics.

I want unions curtailed because workers demanding rights are destroying America. I also want legal protection from being fired by my employer.-

Tucker is all over land being sold to the Chinese. I’m sure he will soon publish an award-winning expose on this threat to American democracy.

Daria Trepova reminded me of Fanny Kaplan. I’m not sure if there is any English language histories of Fanny, but there are plenty of Russian conspiracies surrounding her.

I'm oddly fascinated by her "When I was in 11th grade, Joe Biden....." lie. Did she think no one would notice? Did she mean to say George Bush? Did she think in that moment that Biden was president in 1990?
She has blamed Biden for everything else and so often that using his name has become a permanent brain malfunction. -
Meatball Ron's appointed group of culture warriors is upset that Disney might've tied their hands for the next 30 years. So it's not Disney that will be suing DeSantis' little group but the reverse.

That is a fabulous play as it comes from the Republican playbook.-

He was literally on with Hannity the other night and said that MSM said it was just 30k, but he knew it was easily 2x that size. So if we're to believe this savvy businessman, that means 60,000+
There is no estimate any larger than 15,000.
Also, if crowd size dictates who gets to be President, you tub of human excrement...fucking Indio Solari gets the Oval.
For Trump, reality doesn’t matter, only perception.-

There's also that study posted several months ago demonstrating that hunting random feral hogs is making things worse in Texas, unlike other states who are taking a more methodical approach.

I don't mind that rule. I'm guessing the russian vax is probably bunk
I don’t disagree. -
possible dumb question alert: can russians wanting to flee and come to the US claim asylum due to not wanting to become part of the meat grinder that is the russian army?
I don’t know the answer to this question, but I know Russian refugees need a western COVID vaccine. One of my former exchange daughters (and her family) escaped to Switzerland. She was scheduled to come to Dallas for business but was stopped at the Geneva airport and not allowed to fly because she had only received the Russian vaccine. It was strange because I stopped worrying about those things a year ago.-

Don't be namecallling!
I get the case law. I get the end-game. I just find it odd that four huge issues---abortion, contraception/birth control, gay marriage/LGBTQ+ stuff, and interracial marriage. Three of these things, however backwards and twisted I find it, have a basis in religious ethos. One does not. Conflating them together is a very weird gambit, even for appealing to a base that has the same belief set on all four issues, even they don't necessarily compress interracial marriage into the other three despite the convenience.
Somehow “more white babies” ties it all together. You’ve also got that evil communist libs are for all those things.-

Personally, I can’t wait to see the:

i’ve got the Boy Scout popcorn ready to pop.
In the current simulation, Geraldo will open the mausoleum after a few days and the body will be missing. The ratings will be huge.-

Administration to Approve Huge Alaska Oil Project on Monday, Two Officials Say
Biden is also expected to put broad new limits on Arctic drilling in an apparent effort to temper criticism over the $8 billion Willow oil project, which has faced sharp climate opposition.
The Biden administration on Monday will formally approve a huge oil drilling project in Alaska known as Willow, according to two people familiar with the decision, despite widespread opposition because of its likely environmental and climate impacts.
The president will also impose sweeping restrictions on offshore oil leasing in the Arctic Ocean and across Alaska’s North Slope in an apparent effort to temper criticism over the Willow decision and, as one administration official put it, to form a “firewall” to limit future oil leases in the region. The Interior Department also is expected to issue new rules to protect more than 13 million acres in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska from oil and gas leasing.
The restrictions, however, are unlikely to offset concerns that the $8 billion Willow project, led by oil giant ConocoPhillips, will have the potential to produce more than 600 million barrels of crude over 30 years.
Burning all that oil could release nearly 280 million metric tons of carbon emissions into the atmosphere. On an annual basis, that would translate into 9.2 million metric tons of carbon pollution, equal to adding nearly two million cars to the roads each year. The United States, the second biggest polluter on the planet after China, emits about 5.6 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide annually.

Continue reading the main storyThe president has been lobbied fiercely by the oil industry and Alaska lawmakers to approve the Willow drilling project, which will take place inside the petroleum reserve. Other supporters, including labor unions, building trades and some residents of the North Slope, have argued that the project would create about 2,500 jobs and generate as much as $17 billion in revenue for the federal government.
At the same time, environmental activists and some Native American communities have fought the project through online campaigns, protests and meetings with federal officials, charging that approval of the project would be a betrayal of Mr. Biden’s pledge to move the nation away from fossil fuels. The International Energy Agency has said that governments must stop approving new oil, gas and coal projects if the planet is to avert the most catastrophic impacts of climate change.

Representatives from ConocoPhillips said Sunday night that they haven’t yet seen a written decision and declined to comment until one had been made official.
Climate activists said that they were pleased the president plans to protect the Arctic but remained outraged that Mr. Biden, who has made fighting climate change a top priority, would approve a project they term a “carbon bomb.”

Continue reading the main story“It’s insulting that Biden thinks this will change our minds about the Willow project,” said Kristen Monsell, a senior attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity, an environmental group. “Protecting one area of the Arctic so you can destroy another doesn’t make sense, and it won’t help the people and wildlife who will be upended by the Willow project.”
The decision is sure to invite legal challenges from environmental groups.
The Biden administration intends to approve permits for three drilling sites and deny two others, including one that would have been closest to a coastal wetland known as Teshekpuk Lake, according to two people familiar with the decision who requested anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss the announcement. The administration also will deny a road that would have led to the fourth drilling site, the two people said.
The White House didn’t respond to a request for comment on the Willow decision beyond referring to remarks by Karine Jean-Pierre, the White House press secretary, on Friday that a final decision hadn’t been made.
Administration officials are moving ahead with the Willow project despite its environmental analysis raised “substantial concerns” about emissions, danger to freshwater sources and threats to migratory birds, caribou, whales and other animals that inhabit the region.
According to the two people familiar with the deliberations, the administration has concluded that it doesn’t have the legal authority to deny permits to ConocoPhillips, which has long held leases on the land in the petroleum reserve.

Continue reading the main storyConocoPhillips had initially sought five drilling sites for the project and had called the approval of three pads the minimum number that they would find acceptable. The company had indicated that it would back out if there were fewer, saying the project would no longer be financially viable.
In addition to rejecting two of the proposed drilling sites, the people familiar with the decision said the administration also will announce that ConocoPhillips will return about 67,000 acres of land back to the government. The petroleum reserve, located about 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle, is the country’s largest single expanse of pristine land.
The cornerstone of Mr. Biden’s new Arctic environmental pledges, which he is expected to detail on Monday, will be a declaration that the entire Arctic Ocean will be off limits to oil and gas leasing, completing an effort that began under President Barack Obama.
The Interior Department said Mr. Biden will designate about 2.8 million acres of the Beaufort Sea in the Arctic Ocean near shore in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska as indefinitely off limits for future oil and gas leasing. That will ensure “this important habitat for whales, seals, polar bears, as well as for subsistence purposes, will be protected in perpetuity from extractive development,” the Interior Department said in a statement.
Mr. Obama banned drilling in portions of the Arctic Ocean’s Beaufort and Chukchi Seas, using a 1953 law that allows presidents to block the sale of offshore drilling and mining rights. President Trump later tried to open all coastal waters of the United States to oil and gas drilling, including the areas protected by the Obama administration.

Continue reading the main storyIn addition to the ban on new Arctic drilling, the Interior Department will issue rules to protect more than 13 million of the 23 million acres in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska from oil and gas leasing.
Mr. Biden also will announce protections for a number of sites in Alaska, including Teshekpuk Lake, Utukok Uplands, Colville River, Kasegaluk Lagoon and Peard Bay Special Areas.
Oil industry officials criticized the planned Arctic protections.
“In the current energy crisis, the Biden administration should be focused on strengthening U.S. energy security and standing with the working families of Alaska by supporting the responsible development of federal lands and waters — not acting to restrict it,” said Frank Macchiarola, senior vice president of policy at the American Petroleum Institute, a trade organization.
Blah, blah… Corporations are going to advocate for policies that increase profits. Politicians are going to advocate for policies that increase political advantage. All the details in-between is white noise.-

What you will not see from McCarthy is ANY legislation... to fix the situation at the border. And WHY do you think that is?
Because there is NO PLAN at all from the GOP to actual fix the border (or any other issue of significance). Because there isn't a bill that would that could pass the GOP controlled house that would do anything but lose votes nationally for the GOP. You see all the GOP "fixes" don't work, and they don't address the issues that need to be addressed.
So while Greg Abbott is rolling around telling us how Biden is wholly at fault for anything at the border, electing Republicans into a majority means that this all important issue which is broadcast every 14 minutes, 24 hours a day on Fox News simply will not be addressed with any legislation. You will get the dog and pony show hearings, and stunts but what you will not see is legislation. Just like you will never see health care legislation from the GOP, because there are no solutions at all to big problems by today's GOP.
The whining and lying will continue but you will never, ever, ever see any legislation produced by the GOP controlled house of representatives. In fact I would bet my 401K that you will never even see a bill on the border brought to the floor to be debated! The absolute definition of a do nothing congress.
The wall along the border was perfect for the GOP. It was a simple idea. It was a cause for which the Republicans could advocate and actually pass legislation to fund. It had little chance of solving the problem.-
