Schadenfreude: Department of Energy ramps up the war against their tax slaves (us)





On December 19, 2022, the Biden White House released a statement briefing the public on a newly proposed rule by the Department of Energy which would require light bulb manufacturers to comply with new “climate change” efficiency standards. In fact, the move was just the latest transgressions against the American citizenry:

This is the 110th action to strengthen energy efficiency standards that the Administration has taken in 2022. These 110 actions span a range of household products—everything from air conditioners and furnaces, to clothes washers and dryers, to kitchen appliances and water heaters—as well as commercial and industrial equipment.

The move brings two major issues to the forefront of my mind: The first being the complete disregard for the constitutional rule of law, and separation of powers. The second, the contemptuous display of elitism and immodest display of climate communism.

As Patrick Carroll at FEE noted:

The proposal is the first step to creating a new regulation, and it outlines what the agency plans to do. For example, the action taken on Dec. 19 was a proposal to raise the minimum light bulb efficiency level from 45 to over 120 lumens per watt for the most common bulbs.
Once the agency has announced their proposal and some time has elapsed for public comment, the agency takes a finalizing action which establishes the rule as an official regulation.

White House to Jim Jordan, James Comer: Sorry, but you have to restart your oversight requests


In respective letters to Reps. James Comer (R-Ky) and Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), White House Special Counsel Richard Sauber said that the Biden administration had no immediate plans to respond to a slew of records requests that both men made the past several weeks. In those letters, obtained exclusively by POLITICO, Sauber described such requests as constitutionally illegitimate because both Jordan, who is expected to chair the House Judiciary Committee, and Comer, who is expected to head the Oversight Committee, made them before they had any authority to do so.

“Congress has not delegated such [oversight] authority to individual members of Congress who are not committee chairmen, and the House has not done so under its current Rules,” wrote Sauber, one of the White House’s top oversight lawyers.

Joe Biden Should Be Terrified About What's Coming in 2023. Here's Why.






Biden family influence-peddling​

The botched withdrawal from Afghanistan​

The border crisis​

Department of Justice abuse​

Merrick Garland’s politicization and weaponization of the Department of Justice are deserving of close examination by the House GOP. Garland issued a memo allowing the FBI to investigate parents who protested school board meetings — effectively treating them like domestic terrorists. He justified his actions by claiming there was a “disturbing trend” of teachers being threatened or harassed — which turned out to be absolutely false. Garland never retracted the memo, and an internal email later proved that he had lied to Congress when he claimed the FBI was not utilizing counterterrorism capabilities to monitor parents. That in and of itself is a crime and an impeachable offense.

Garland also abused his power to protect Biden and his allies and attack Biden’s enemies. He allowed for Congress to get its hands on Donald Trump’s private tax records despite Congress having no legitimate claim to access them, and he declined to launch an investigation into COVID-19 nursing home deaths in New York, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, protecting the Democrat governors of those states.

COVID censorship​

Last year, Dr. Anthony Fauci said he expects Republicans to come after him after the midterms, and he’s right. He probably thought retiring might protect him, but it won’t. His “leadership” during the COVID pandemic has been rife with controversy, as it’s become clear that politics has played a much larger role in his decision-making than did science. He pushed for universal vaccines, even for kids who are not at high risk from COVID. His universal vaccination approach led him to repeatedly move the goalposts on herd immunity, yet he had the arrogance to claim that anyone criticizing him was dangerous because he represents “science.”

Over the past year and a half, we’ve learned that he lied about funding gain-of-function research in Wuhan and that he had been told COVID-19 was potentially engineered but insisted for over a year that it came from nature. Then there’s the big question as to the role he played in promoting the censorship of speech that questioned the preferred narrative. House Republicans are no doubt looking forward to getting to the bottom of all of it.

The War On Truckers, Refrigerators, And Your Well-Being


Just before Christmas, the Biden Environmental Protection Agency finalized a rule that it calls a “key step toward accelerating zero-emissions future,” and part of “the historic Clean Truck Plan, which is moving America’s highly polluting heavy-duty trucking fleet towards low-carbon and electric technologies.”

Enforcement of course will mean fewer trucks on the road. For many drivers, the cost of working under the new regime will be too high.

“Truckers and manufacturers warn that the rule is too stringent and costly, and that compliance could send higher prices through the economy that is already suffering from high energy costs and high inflation,” says the Institute for Energy Research.

Are they expecting more drones for shipping .? Trucks use oil but so do trains. Are they going to restrict trains .?

Biden team eyes end of Covid emergency declaration and shift in Covid team



Senior Biden officials are targeting an end to the emergency designation for Covid as soon as the spring, after debating doing so last summer and taking a pass, three people with knowledge of the matter told POLITICO. Should they do so, such a move would represent a major pivot point in the country’s battle with the pandemic.

The decision, which has not yet been finalized amid more immediate efforts to manage a recent spike in Covid cases, would trigger a complex restructuring of major elements of the federal response — and set the stage for the eventual shifting of greater responsibility for vaccines and treatments to the private market. It would kickstart a transition away from the White House-led crisis operation and toward treating the virus as a continuous long-term threat.

And for President Joe Biden, who campaigned on eliminating the virus, it would symbolize a measure of progress toward an early pledge that has proven far more difficult than anticipated to keep.

Trump Was Right On Tariffs, And Biden Knows It




Free traders on the left and the right routinely excoriated Donald Trump for his willingness to implement tariffs on foreign imports. With the election of Joe Biden in 2020, many hoped the incoming president would reverse the former president’s “protectionist” trade policies and return to free trade orthodoxy. This, however, never happened. In fact, U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai, just two weeks ago, pushed back against claims made by the World Trade Organization that the Trump-era tariffs violated international trade rules: The WTO is on “very, very thin ice.”

President Biden has, time and time again, skirted the issue of tariffs. Instead, he has opted to quietly continue his predecessor’s America-first tariff hikes, despite having forcefully criticized Trump’s trade policy with China in 2019: “President Trump may think he’s being tough on China. All that he’s delivered as a consequence of that is American farmers, manufacturers and consumers losing and paying more.” Biden must have conveniently forgotten this previous stance. By keeping in place the Trump tariffs, he has successfully frustrated economic liberals in both the Democratic and Republican parties.

In July of 2022, the Biden administration mulled over the prospect of lifting billions of dollars worth of tariffs on Chinese goods. The rationale was that in doing so, inflation, which has adversely affected American consumers for the past two years, would be eased. This, however, was an economic fallacy. Even the Peterson Institute for International Economics, whose sole mission is to fight for trade liberalization, conceded that the proposed tariff reductions would have a mostly trivial effect on inflation: “The direct effect of removing tariffs on imports from China could lower consumer price index (CPI) inflation by 0.26 percentage point — only marginally reducing inflation.”

Texas, Oklahoma Sue Biden Admin Over Rule That ‘Unlawfully Delegates’ Authority To The WHO



The states accuse the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) of “unlawfully” delegating the authority to declare a public health emergency in the U.S. to the WHO, according to a copy of the complaint. The plaintiffs assert that a 2017 rule relinquishes HHS authority to the WHO to determine when there’s a public health emergency involving a communicable disease in the U.S.

HHS’ definitions for the declaration come directly from the WHO, the complaint asserts.

“The Department’s definition of ‘public health emergency’ … exceeds the agency’s authority, as it unlawfully delegates to the World Health Organization (WHO) the authority to invoke emergency health powers in the United States — infringing on U.S. and state sovereignty,” the complaint says.

Biden HUD Proposes Rule Requiring Localities to Submit Housing ‘Equity Plans’



President Biden’s HUD submitted a proposed rule that would require local governments to submit plans and reports relating to civil rights concerns or else risk losing subsidies from the federal government, the Washington Examiner reported.

The requirements are part of a rule called “Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing” and are said to follow through on one portion of the 1968 Fair Housing Act, which mandated that localities “affirmatively further” fair housing in response to historical segregation.

One version of the rule had been implemented under the Obama administration before it was repealed by former President Donald Trump, who warned that the Democrats would “abolish our beautiful and successful suburbs by placing far-left Washington bureaucrats in charge of local zoning decisions.” The former president also stated that, should Democrats implement their housing policies, “your home will go down in value and crime rates will rapidly rise.”

Big Rat Jumps Ship – Chief of Staff Ron Klain Leaving White House



When Joe Biden won the White House with the largest vote total in the history of all previous U.S. elections, who was credited? Who was praised and who was identified as the human strategist capable of such a victory? Amid the fraud what was the 2020 election, well, it’s the absence of any victorious attribution that becomes another ‘big tell‘. I digress.

With the background managers now organized to ensure Biden doesn’t go further than the one-term controlled position he was installed for; Politico is reporting that White House control officer Ron Klain is jumping ship.

Watch carefully, and we might see former Obama handler Anita Dunn (Squier, Knapp, Dunn) step forward, take over White House operations and handle the 2024 transition effort toward Gavin Newsom.

Biden's FCC nominee sits on board of group that opposes anti-sex trafficking efforts



While proponents of the legislation — including lawmakers on both sides of the aisle and a wide range of anti-human trafficking, civil rights and law enforcement groups — argued it would help children and other vulnerable communities against online sex trafficking, EFF said it would lead to censorship and would harm online-based prostitutes.

"Today is a dark day for the Internet," EFF tweeted in March 2018 after the bill was passed. "Congress just passed the Internet censorship bill SESTA/FOSTA."

"Sex workers have spoken out … explaining how online platforms have literally saved their lives," it added in a follow-up tweet. "Why didn't Congress consult with the people their bill would most directly affect?"

EFF then filed a lawsuit in June 2018 asking a federal judge to strike down the law as unconstitutional. The lawsuit stated that the legislation violated both the First and Fifth Amendments and was, therefore, unconstitutional.

Good riddance to Ron Klain and his ridiculous spin obsession


He’s gotten so infamous for his unhinged tweets and retweets that “The Ruthless” podcast took to featuring a game show mocking them: Hosts had to guess which of four idiotic postings — ludicrously praising Biden, for instance, or blasting conservatives — was not shared by Klain.

The show is now mourning his departure, noting he was “good for content”; it played its parody of the song “Fame,” called “Klain to Fame,” one last time this week.

Just how far did Klain go in misleading Americans? Well, just this week, he shared a doubly false video of Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) claiming Biden “lowered your gas prices and Republicans are upset about it.” And he retweeted liberal pundit Paul Krugman claiming the economy grew 6.7% under Biden, without mentioning that was only because it was recovering from the COVID recession, a recovery that began under Donald Trump.

Klain (who made several appearances in The Post’s Whoppers column highlighting his distortions) also once shared a claim that inflation and supply-chain snags were merely “high class problems” — as if middle- and lower-income families had nothing to worry about. (Eggs are up 57% over a year ago.)

Pete Buttigieg Conveniently Shifts the Blame for the Ohio Train Derailment



"In the wake of the East Palestine derailment and its impact on hundreds of residents, we're seeing lots of newfound or renewed (and welcome) interest in our work on rail safety, so I wanted to share more about what we've been doing in this area," Buttigieg said in a tweet. "We're constrained by law on some areas of rail regulation (like the braking rule withdrawn by the Trump administration in 2018 because of a law passed by Congress in 2015), but we are using the powers we do have to keep people safe… and of course, I'm always ready to work with Congress on furthering (or in some cases, restoring) our capacity to address rail safety issues."

In 2018, the Department of Transportation (DOT) pulled out from a policy put into place three years prior that required trains carrying certain dangerous chemicals to utilize electronically controlled pneumatic (ECP) brakes, saying the technology's benefits were inconclusive.

Buttigieg has been criticized several times for not taking his job seriously enough and for ignoring warning signs that have led to disastrous outcomes, such as the holiday travel debacle that left thousands of people stranded at airports last year.

If one of the train cars had a bad bearing that failed causing it to derail, how would the braking system stop it if it was the next car .? The derailed car would pull it right with it.

ABC's Moran Frets Biden Not Visiting Train Site, Let Trump Look Good




"He should go," Moran replied bluntly. "This is an extraordinary event not just for the people of East Palestine, but it has come to stand for something bigger in the country and Democrats do have something to say to large forces, large corporate forces exploiting people in rural America."

Moran fretted that Democrats are "losing on the cultural issues, but as Bernie Sanders and some others have demonstrated, they can connect on that."

More concerning for Moran and his fellow leftists was that Biden left the East Palestine visit "on the table for Donald Trump to come in and say, I'm your guy even though it was the Trump administration which changed the regulations which helped perhaps to contribute to this event."

Of course, Moran had to add the comment about Trump's deregulatory policies which helped lead to one of the strongest economies since the Reagan administration. If the deregulation of the train companies was so terrible, why didn't Biden reinstate them? He's had over two years to do so.

But Moran's larger point was not that Biden spent three weeks snubbing the people of East Palestine, he's just angry that Trump decided to go and in the process made Biden look heartless or uncaring.

"... even though it was the Trump administration which changed the regulations which helped perhaps to contribute to this event."
NTSB already said this had nothing to do with the accident, and to please STFU.

No wonder so many want to see heads on pikes.
