Hookay...so I haven't done one of these in a while. Here we go.
Apparently, California is going to levy the highest tax in the nation on solar power generated by homeowners and other small entities. This is just another example of why climate change isn't as much of an issue as some suggest. Solar power in California, unlike in other states, is cheap and reasonably reliable. And the state government is making it more expensive to install and operate your own system to "save the planet".
Leftists have a continuing case of the vapors over the 1/6/2021 riot at the Capitol building in Washington D.C. Yet they very little about the many other instances where federal facilities were assaulted by rioters. Oh...that's right...those were Chekas doing the assaulting. Leftists never criticize anyone to their left.
While we are talking about rampaging American Chekas, let us recall the disparate treatment being given to rioters by prosecutors. American Chekas are rarely punished, any punishments are light, and they are tried in a prompt manner as befits their rights as American citizens. Most of the right-wing 1/6 rioters, also American citizens, are still sitting in jail awaiting trial one year after their event and those that pled guilty were given quite stiff sentences. Equality before the law matters if one is intent on preserving our great Republic. Leftist prosecutors apparently aren't interested in that objective.
James O'Keefe's Project Veritas has another bombshell. It turns out that the proposal to fund gain of function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology was first submitted to DARPA. DARPA is the research wing of America's military agencies. DARPA noped right out of that proposal and pointed out the many flaws. Those flaws have been eerily appropriate since January of 2020. The project proposal was then submitted to the NAIAD. It was approved. Our esteemed Dr. Fauci is/was the head of the NAIAD at the time.
Courtesy of our outstanding private pharmaceutical companies, we have a couple of new anti-virals that are effective in limiting the impact of Covid. True to form, the federal government is micromanaging doctors by placing questionable restrictions on when these effective treatments may be prescribed. It's like Covid isn't a threat or something.
The hits keep on coming. Even the EU isn't serious about CO2 emissions. They appear poised to exempt CO2 emissions from private planes and yachts. I'll take the issue far more seriously when the rich and powerful are being inconvenienced more than the common person.
