When The Democrats Do It, That Means That It’s Not Illegal
The federal judge presiding over the case of the extortion scheme targeting Rep. Matt Gaetz’s father raised questions as to why an intelligence operative involved in the crime hasn’t been charged, according to court transcripts.
In the sentencing hearing for long-time con man Stephen Alford, who was charged in the Gaetz extortion case and sentenced to five years in prison, federal Judge Margaret Casey Rodgers questioned why former military intelligence officer and State Department contractor Bob Kent — who was involved in virtually every step of the crime — was not charged as well…

Could You Maybe Tone Down Your ‘Whole Self,’ Just A Notch?
There follows some obligatory rumbling about the “freedom” to have ostentatious hairstyles “without negative repercussions,” before we are informed of black employees’ entitlement to speak and behave in ways that are likely to be “interpreted as violent or aggressive.” No, really. You see, if an employee is surly, or starts cursing and shouting, while invading your personal space and flailing their arms about – such that these things can be “interpreted as violent or aggressive” – this is something that employers must tolerate, and of course defer to. We’re told, for instance, that a dislike of being shouted at or bullied by the emotionally incontinent can only be evidence of “deep, inherent bias and deeply inherent systemic racism.”

A Tale of Two Cowards
Lil’ Justin isn’t happy with Big Doug:
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused Ontario Premier Doug Ford of hiding from his responsibilities during the Freedom Convoy protests, according to a readout of a private call with Ottawa’s Mayor Jim Watson.
“Doug Ford has been hiding from his responsibility on it for political reasons as you highlighted,” Trudeau said according to the readout.
Trudeau said it was, ”Important we don’t let them get away from that.”
Watson said he shared the prime minister’s frustration.

Pretty Much Everything Runs on Diesel
Bloomberg- $200 Diesel Puts Biden In an Ugly Corner
Currently, the US has just 106 million barrels of diesel and heating oil in commercial stocks; the last time inventories were that low in mid-October was in 1951, when Truman was in the White House. Typically, inventories should be 30% higher this time of the year.
The reasons for the collapse in inventories and the price surge are four-fold. First, local diesel demand has recovered quicker than gasoline and jet-fuel from the impact of the pandemic, draining stocks. Second, foreign demand is also strong, with American diesel exports running at unusually high level. Third, the US also has lower refining capacity than before, reducing its capacity to make fuels. And then there’s Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The US was importing a significant amount of Russian fuel oil before the war, which its Gulf of Mexico-based refiners turned into diesel. The trade ended after the White House sanctioned Russian petroleum exports.
Seems like they forgot an important point.
Bloomberg Law- Chevron CEO Says There May Never Be a New Refinery Built in US
“We haven’t had a refinery built in the United States since the 1970s,” Chief Executive Officer Mike Wirth said in an interview on Bloomberg TV. “My personal view is there will never be another new refinery built in the United States.”

Y2Kyoto: What’s The Chinese Word For “Never”?
In a two-hour speech to kick off the week long Communist Party Congress, Xi said that prudence would govern China’s efforts to peak and eventually zero out carbon emissions. The cautious wording comes after a spate of high-profile power shortages in recent years, and as global energy costs have soared after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine upended trade flows.
Xi’s speech made China’s path to decarbonization clear: It won’t stop burning fossil fuels until it’s confident that clean energy can reliably replace them. The speech shows more emphasis on energy security and the significant role of coal in China’s energy supply given the resources endowment, said Qin Yan, lead analyst with Refinitiv. […]
China is the world’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases, and Xi electrified climate activists two years ago when he vowed to reach carbon neutrality by 2060 after peaking emissions before 2030. The announcement sparked a massive surge in investment in clean energy by local governments and state-owned firms.
But last year focus began to return to China’s mainstay fuel of coal after a shortage triggered widespread power curtailments to factories, slowing economic growth.
The Liberal/Media Industrial Complex
In typical fashion, the liberals have been cynical and dishonest about this. but the same media that's now acting so outraged ignored the story at first, and acted as enablers. reporting on it stsrted only when social media blew up so completely that they had no other option.
