Instapundit - FACE, MEET PALM: North Sea oil rigs threatened with shutdown unless they start running on green electricity

Instapundit - You have to give climate panicmongers credit...
Currently, more than 280 platforms extracting oil and gas from UK waters produce 3pc of the country’s total emissions, the equivalent of about 17 million tonnes of CO2 a year.
"However, UK oil and gas fields also account for half of the country’s energy needs.
Despite this, the North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA), which regulates the offshore sector, has told producers that they must convert platforms to run on green electricity or low-carbon fuels.
This means all new developments before 2030 must be designed to run on electricity, while all those after that must be fully electrified from the start.
Critics say the new demands will deliver a fatal blow to many of the older platforms operating around British shores.
Some date back to the 1970s or 1980s and would be hugely expensive to decarbonise.
You have to give climate panicmongers credit, if that’s the right word, for being endlessly imaginative in their efforts to regulate wealth and happiness out of existence. - Stephen Green

U.S. city grabs $1 million Zuckerbucks right before vote taken on making it illegal | WND | by Bob Unruh

U.S. city grabs $1 million Zuckerbucks right before vote taken on making it illegal | WND | by Bob Unruh

Among the foreboding details of the grant projects is that the city took nearly $38,000 for a text messaging service that will let officials warn voters about "misinformation." That, of course, is subject to a political slant because a Democrat official's perspective on "misinformation" might be based solely on political considerations, not facts.

No, Climate Change Isn't Behind A Chocolate Easter Egg Crisis - Climate Change Dispatch

The Daily Mail posted an alarming Easter-themed story saying climate change has caused the price of chocolate Easter eggs to increase. This is false. - H. Sterling Burnett
"Chocolate Easter eggs and other chocolate candies have seen prices increase; however, data prove it isn’t due to a shortage of cocoa beans since cocoa production has risen as the Earth has warmed... 
“According to researchers from the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU), a combination of wet heat waves and drought have battered this year’s cocoa harvest,” writes the Daily Mail.
The ECIU’s claim is false on several counts...
  • West Africa set records for production 17 times during that period, most recently in 2022...
Because the climate in West Africa isn’t changing and cocoa production is setting records, one can hardly blame climate change for the higher costs of chocolate Easter eggs in the United Kingdom or anywhere else...
  • The past two years wide weather swings across the globe have been dominated by the shift from a La Niña to a “strong El Niño year,” as the Daily Mail admits...
  • Then there is the dramatic increase in inflation affecting most of the world, complicated by supply chain issues...
To conclude, there is no evidence climate change has played any role in the U.K.’s chocolate Easter egg crisis...

Biden Admin's Anti-Gun 'Red Flag Center' Violates Both Constitution and Statute

"...new National Extreme Risk Protection Order Resource Center, which will “support the effective implementation of state red flag laws”Ward Clark

On Saturday, Vice President Kamala Harris touted the administration’s new National Extreme Risk Protection Order Resource Center, which will “support the effective implementation of state red flag laws” and “keep guns out of the hands of people who pose a threat to themselves or others.”..

This isn’t the first time the Biden administration has gone beyond what the law allows and done more harm than good.

...Sadly, once a federal institution is in place, it seems to be immortal. 
The Biden administration isn't about to stand down this illegal organization...

Libs dream come true. You've been warned!-----A $15 toll to drive into part of Manhattan has been approved. That's a first for US cities

A $15 toll to drive into part of Manhattan has been approved. That's a first for US cities
NEW YORK (AP) — New York is on track to become the first U.S. city with congestion tolls on drivers entering its central business district after transit officials approved a $15 fee for most motorists headed to the busiest part of Manhattan...
The vote authorizes a $15 toll on most commuter passenger vehicles that drive into Manhattan south of 60th Street, a zone that's south of Central Park, during daytime hours. 
Tolls are higher for larger vehicles, and lower for late-night entries into the city, as well as for motorcycles.
Supporters of the new tolls say it will push more people to use public transport...

Exclusive — Gen. Michael Flynn: Deep State at War with ‘America and the American People’

"...on January 5, 2017, a whole bunch of people who worked for former President Barack Obama met in the Oval Office, and “the coup started. - HANNAH KNUDSEN
"The movie, Flynn: Deliver the Truth. Whatever the Cost, details how the Deep State went after Flynn...
“Really, it’s a story of survival. And it’s a story of hope,” he said, explaining that the story is largely about how one responds to the bad things that happen to them...
When asked why the Deep State chose to go after him, Flynn noted that “they’re not just at war with Donald Trump. They’re at war with America and the American people... 
‘Why me?’ And I do describe this in the film because you don’t get to leading one of the largest intel agencies in the world, which I did, you don’t get to being the national security adviser, chosen by a duly-elected president of the United States of America, which I was, I mean, you know, without having your act together, and then, of course, I served five years in combat overseas against foreign enemies,” Flynn said. “The biggest enemies that I faced was right here at home.”

Lack of transparency exposes clear FBI bias | Blaze Media

Lack of transparency exposes clear FBI bias | Blaze Media

Sadly, the FBI’s lack of transparency on this issue lays bare its own transparent biases. It is safe to assume that if Hale’s manifesto exonerated her of fostering anti-Christian prejudice or demonstrated anything other than a tragically demented and disturbed mind captured in the throes of psychological disturbance manifesting as “transgenderism,” the FBI would dutifully offer a full report to the American people.

Jaime Escalante: Teacher who expected the best of the worst | Blaze Media

Jaime Escalante: Teacher who expected the best of the worst | Blaze Media

America's broken education system needs fewer credentialed experts and more teachers with high standards. DEI, as everyone knows, stands for diversity, equity, and inclusion. But lately those who notice its corrosive effects on the people it purports to help have come up with a second, more brutally honest meaning: didn't earn it. This might equally apply to the "experts" who have enriched themselves from DEI's application. Take Jo Boaler, a mathematics education professor at Stanford, who's come up with a novel way to help students (often poor and black or Latino) falling behind their peers in eighth-grade algebra. Simply remove it from the curriculum altogether.

The Pennsylvania General Assembly passed the measure partly in response to grants to local and state election offices in 2020, originating with donations from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, that critics say drove up the vote in Democrat-dominated areas.

“The president gave his directive to all of his agencies that they are supposed to facilitate voter registration through third-party agencies, that we can’t get the contracts to or or we don’t know what any of the details are, who they’re working with, and how,” Keefer told The Daily Signal.
