Legislation promoting U.S. energy independence from Russia has been blocked by House Democrats.
House Republicans introduced the “American Independence from Russian Energy Act” on Feb. 28, a measure meant to authorize the Keystone XL pipeline, boost domestic oil and gas production, and prevent President Joe Biden’s executive branch agencies from halting energy leasing on federal land and water, among other provisions. Yet on March 1, the legislation was shot down in a 221–202 vote, almost entirely along partisan lines.

Another mob of looters targeted several San Francisco Bay Area retailers on Sunday night, marking the third such incident in as many days.
Police told CBS San Francisco that they responded to the multiple calls of smash-and-grab looting incidents at the Southland Mall in Hayward, located south of Oakland and north of San Jose.

Nationwide Strike Over Vaccine Mandates: Organizer 7 replies
A nationwide strike against vaccine mandates will take place from Nov. 8 to Nov. 11, according to the main organizer for the walkout, Leigh Dundas, a human rights attorney and public speaker.
The event will kick off in Los Angeles on Monday. The locations of the marches have not yet been disclosed.
The walkouts involve people from various industries such as trucking and telecom. Air and rail transport workers are not federally allowed to go on strike due to a law passed in 1926 named the Railway Labor Act, but some plan to protest anonymously.
In the November 2020 general election, whose chaotic results have been vigorously disputed, almost 15 million mail-in ballots went unaccounted for, according to a good-government group that focuses on electoral integrity.
The research brief by the Indianapolis-based Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) notes that as the nation dealt last year with the CCP virus (which causes COVID-19), various U.S. states “hastily pushed traditionally in-person voters to mail ballots while, at the same time, trying to learn how to even administer such a scenario.”

A Mississippi judge ordered a new runoff election for a local election in Aberdeen after more than three-quarters of absentee ballots cast in the June Democratic runoff election were found to be invalid, while a notary involved in the election was arrested.
Judge Jeff Weill, in a 64-page order, said that there is evidence of fraud and criminal activity in how absentee ballots were handled, how they were counted, and actions from individuals at polling places during the runoff election held in Aberdeen, Mississippi. As a result, a new runoff election for the Ward 1 alderman seat is necessary, reported WCBI.
The incoming Biden administration has announced a series of executive actions that open the door for instituting the quasi-Marxist critical theory across the federal government.
President Joe Biden would sign documents to “launch a whole-of-government initiative to advance racial equity,” his transition team said in a Jan. 20 release.
Equity means equality of outcome, a concept tied to the critical theories that slice up society into identity groups based on race, gender, sexual proclivities, and others, while positing which groups are oppressed and which are the oppressors, similarly to how Marxism labels people as oppressors or the oppressed based on class.
The charges filed by the St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner against Mark and Patricia McCloskey already seemed like a political witch-hunt because the couple dared to defend themselves and their property by displaying guns to BLM ‘protesters’ who trespassed on private property back in June. The ‘protesters’ went through a gate onto a private street and allegedly onto the property of the McCloskeys. Mark McCloskey said that the ‘protesters’ also threatened him and his family. They also allegedly broke the wrought-iron gate onto the private street at some point during the incident.

From our side of The Big Ditch, it looks like The Other Guys’ political party is imploding. Suddenly, everything they do is wrong. Their political initiatives, like the impeachment of President Trump, leave them worse off than when they started. Their presidential nominating process is a shambles marked by incompetence, generational splits, geographic splits, oligarchs stepping up and literally buying their way onto the stage, and worse. For all their diversity rhetoric, they are now down to an all-white cast. By this time next week they could also have an all-male cast. They aren’t even who they say they are.
Are you distrustful of the coverage of what is happening now in northern Syria between the Kurds and the Turkish army? You have good reason to be.
ABC aired supposedly shocking footage Monday morning purporting to be from the frontline battle between the Syrian Kurds and the invading Turks. The only problem is the footage appears to come from a nighttime demonstration at the Knob Creek Gun Range in West Point, Kentucky.

Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan warned parts of the East Coast could be "swallowed by the ocean" in a dissenting Supreme Court opinion in an environmental regulation case Thursday.
"If the current rate of emissions continues, children born this year could live to see parts of the Eastern seaboard swallowed by the ocean," Kagan wrote in her dissent.
Justices Stephen Breyer and Sonia Sotomayor joined Kagan's dissent in the 6-3 case.
"Today, the Court strips the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of the power Congress gave it to respond to ‘the most pressing environmental challenge of our time,'" Kagan wrote.
It was the gasp heard round the world. "They could run Michelle Obama, and if they do ..." said Monica Crowley before the CPAC 2022 audience reeled audibly in shocked recognition, cutting her off in mid-sentence. Crowley had seen an early screener of my upcoming film and book of the same name, Michelle Obama 2024: Her Real Life Story and Plan for Power, which will be released on July 11. Crowley was not trying to make waves at CPAC. She was trying to send a warning.
The CPAC crowd, and conservatives in general, have failed to realize that the ever present Michelle Obama was
President Joe Biden on Thursday said that American motorists should expect to pay elevated prices for gasoline until the Russia–Ukraine war is over.
In a press conference following the NATO summit in Madrid, Biden was questioned about how long people should pay higher gas prices.
“How long is it fair to expect American drivers and drivers around the world to pay a premium for this war?” a New York Times reporter asked Biden.
“As long as it takes,” Biden said in response, “so that Russia cannot in fact defeat Ukraine and move beyond Ukraine.”
“This is a critical, critical position for the world,” he added, again blaming the elevated gas prices on the

On Thursday, June 23, the Supreme Court released the Bruen decision which settles the pitched battle over whether the Second Amendment assures the God-given right to self-defense by being able to conceal and carry a gun most everywhere but “sensitive areas.”
On Friday, June 24, Rob Bonta, the attorney general of California, one of five entities whose “may issue” or “right of good cause” tests for carrying a gun were found unconstitutional, told law enforcement that its laws were no longer valid.
On Monday, June 27, Bonta’s department leaked the names, home addresses, phone numbers, race, and other personal information of every single concealed carry gun licensee in the state.
The explosive testimony delivered Tuesday by former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson has driven a rift through alumni of former President Donald Trump's team.
Hutchinson, who served as an aide to former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, outlined to the Jan. 6 select committee a pattern of concerning, erratic behavior by Trump and some of his closest advisers on and in the lead-up to the day of the Capitol riot.
The Washington Examiner spoke to more than a dozen former Trump administration staffers, including a number who were still serving in the White House on Jan. 6,
The military is facing the worst recruiting environment since the end of the Vietnam War.
The Army is at only 40% of its recruiting numbers for the fiscal year despite raising its maximum enlistment bonus from $40,000 to $50,000. It now offers new recruits up to $10,000 for showing up to basic training in 30 days. And is no longer even asking them for a high school diploma.
"We've never offered $50,000 to join the Army," Maj. Gen. Kevin Vereen, head of U.S. Army Recruiting Command, said.
While the Army runs anime lesbian wedding ads, it’s pushing away the recruits it needs, young patriotic men from traditional backgrounds.
During a press conference at the NATO Summit in Madrid, Spain, on Thursday, President Joe Biden condemned the “destabilizing, outrageous behavior” of the U.S. Supreme Court in overturning Roe v. Wade.
The high court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization that overruled Roe returns abortion regulation to each state to determine individually.
Abortion provisions in blue states, where Biden may retain some modicum of popularity, remain unchanged and may wind up even being expanded. Some employers have vowed to pay for the travel expenses to enable employees to go to another state to terminate a pregnancy.
The serial lying Fox News is not only the number one cable news outlet in America; it is frequently the number one overall cable channel in America.
Why is this allowed to happen?
Why would anyone trust Fox News more than CNNLOL or MSNBC?
If anything, Fox News is worse than CNN and MSNBC.
MSNBC is open about its fascist agenda, and the only lie CNN hides behind is the old trope about being objective.
Fox News has been lying, hoaxing, and hoodwinking millions of good people for more than two decades with its fair and balanced; we’re not like those other guys lie.
Kentucky's 2022 Teacher of the Year has quit his high school over accusations that he was grooming children in a student-run LGBTQ club. Willie Carver Jr., who is openly gay, said he felt pushed out of Montgomery County High School after ten years by homophobia, describing his time teaching as a gay man in Kentucky as a 'death by a thousand cuts,' according to NBC News.(Snip)He said that during his time he watched administration pull books by black and LGBTQ authors at parents' request, kill a student-run poll intended to take the temperature on the school's LGBTQ inclusivity, and defend students accused of tearing pride posters
An alleged intruder is in critical condition after being shot by a 93-year-old Moreno Valley, California, homeowner early Wednesday morning.
FOX 11 notes that the incident occurred “in the 24300 block of Eucalyptus Avenue.”
ABC 7 reports that Riverside County Sheriff’s deputies arrived at the home to find the alleged intruder shot.
He was transported to a hospital.
Oscar Malma’s wife is related to the 93-year-old homeowner, and Malma told ABC 7 that the homeowner’s property has been the targeted by burglars/intruders numerous times.

President Joe Biden considered a Republican running mate for 2020 in secret conversations with a top donor, DailyMail.com can reveal.
Walmart board chairman Greg Penner, who has donated over $640,000 to political campaigns since 1999, had back-channel talks with Hunter Biden in 2018 and 2019 to set up Joe with Republican former Ohio governor John Kasich for a bipartisan presidential ticket.
The plot, revealed in text messages, emails, and a phone call recording on Hunter's abandoned laptop, gives an insight into political strategies the president considered in an attempt to win the White House.
Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy is suffering a broken hip as a result of a fall at his McLean, Virginia, house on Wednesday night. In a statement, the 82-year-old Democrat's office said that he would undergo surgery to repair the hip on Thursday morning. "Having been born blind in one eye, the senator has had a lifelong struggle with reduced depth perception. He has taken some remarkable dingers over the years but this one finally caught up with him," Leahy's office said. Doctors determined the best course of action would be to have surgery "as soon as possible," his office said.
