To Emmer, or not to Emmer
At this point, maybe all the names of the people who want to be Speaker should just be thrown into a hat, and Patrick McHenry can draw one and call it a day.
Instead, after a weekend of “reflection” (whatever that means) after giving up on a Jim Jordan Speakership, the House GOP caucus went back to voting today. First there were nine candidates for Speaker of the House, but Dan Meuser (R-PA) dropped out last night. So, the Republicans had eight declared options, with Rep. Elise Stefanik announcing how this was going to be decided.

Guess What May Be Coming Back? Govt. Controlled internet
Recently, the Democrats on the Federal Communication Commission voted to begin reviving the Net Neutrality rules, which had been rolled back under President Trump. That action was to compliment a Biden Executive Order 14008 issued in April of 2023, allegedly ensuring that all Americans had access to affordable, reliable, high-speed internet service. This is just another example of Orwellian double-speak, designed to expand an inter-agency approach in pushing a new form of environmental justice. Americans aren’t allowed to consider that hundreds of billions of tax-payer dollars had already been funneled by the Obama regime to federal agencies under the guise of protecting America’s electrical grid from cyber-attacks. Nobody in the media cares where that money went or if National Security was achieved.
The Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment is a new formula-based grant program for State broadband planning and deployment that will spend another $65 billion to help close an imaginary digital divide for those Americans without affordable broadband. As with all of Biden’s Environmental Justice organizations, it assumes that only unelected bureaucrats and virtuous billionaires can truly understand the needs of disadvantaged minority communities. Most of the federal funding from Obama’s scientific research apparently went into the EPA’s new Smart Grid home system, allowing foreign nations and bureaucrat-controlled NGOs to provide premium-priced ENERGY STAR “certified” products. So that Americans can now save energy money and help the climate. How that occurs is never really explained.

UCLA study: Convince white people racism exists by showing them old photos
A study recently published by UCLA researchers suggests that showing white people historical photos of racism toward black Americans in the healthcare system helps them believe racism exists today.
The study, published by the American Psychological Association, exposed approximately 400 white participants to decades-old images that allegedly depicted instances of discrimination towards black Americans in the healthcare system.
“Importantly, [the study] found that learning about Critical Black History in healthcare increased White Americans’ perspective-taking and led to more recognition of and support for addressing racism broadly, and racism in healthcare specifically,” the study in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General stated.
Participants were shown, for example, a photo about Fannie Lou Hamer, a black woman who was sterilized without her consent. Though the study says the photos were from the 1800s to present, it only provided one example.

Funny how all these people have zero concern over how Palestinians support a terrorist group, as designated by the US State Dept, EU, and UN, and none for all the Jews killed, raped, beheaded, and kidnapped, eh?
How Israel’s blockade of Gaza created an environmental catastrophe
As some of the most brutal Israeli airstrikes in recent memory pound the Gaza Strip, it has taken little time for the human consequences of the latest round of hostilities to manifest.
A vivid example came on October 17, when an explosion at the al-Ahli Arab Hospital killed hundreds of Palestinians.
Which was caused by Hamas, but, this Arab propoganda outlet wants people to assume it was those Jews
But the full extent of the violence’s toll, including its impact on Gaza’s festering environmental issues, may take longer to become apparent. Nonetheless, some of the Israeli siege’s effects on Gaza’s environment are already coming into focus.
Among Gaza’s most visible, persistent environmental issues has been a shortage of drinking water.
Don’t dig up water pipes and turn them into rockets.

The most polarizing politician of the last 40 years is not, as leftists would have us believe, Donald Trump. For my money, it’s none other than His High Holiness the Lightbringer, Barack Obama.
Seriously, the dude is irritating.
Unfortunately, half the country thinks that he’s the most brilliant man to do brilliant things in the history of brilliance. Anyone who disagrees with that, according to them, is — say it with me — racist.
One day, historians may decide that they are tired of embarrassing themselves and critically assess Obama’s legacy as president, which is especially awful when one is discussing foreign policy. He left messes all over the globe, many of which still getting messier. Remember, this is the guy who thought Russia was no longer a threat.
