The FBI Is Investigating American Parents As Domestic Terrorists


https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9781901f-8d1a-4c61-b074-394c9f74cda1_600x634.png



This is exactly what AG Merrick Garland testified (under oath before Congress!) was not happening at the FBI. Garland told the House Judiciary Committee last year that even suggesting that the FBI would bother will angry parents at school board meetings was absurd. He said: “I do not believe that parents who testify, speak, argue with, complain about school boards and schools should be classified as domestic terrorists or any kind of criminals…I do not think that parents getting angry at school boards, for whatever reason, constitute domestic terrorism. It’s not even a close question.”

Remember my rule of thumb for the Biden regime: when they tell you something is not happening then it’s happening.

Did you know that the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center had set up a “snitch line” for Democrats to report angry parents who complain about Critical Race Theory or mask mandates or vaccine mandates at school board meetings?

Here’s another item: the FBI opened up an investigation into “Republican state elected officials” because a “Democrat party official” claimed that the Republican officials were “inciting violence” by complaining publicly about vaccine mandates at school districts.

In other words, Democrats want to criminalize the normal political process in America.

If you need more proof that the FBI is now the law enforcement wing of the Democrat Party — this is exhibit A.

The coming blackouts. Do NOT say you were not warned



For regular readers of this site, today’s news will likely not come as a surprise, but much of the nation seems to remain unaware of it. The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) has released its latest reliability assessment for the summer of 2022 and, to put it mildly, the news is not good. In far too many states, the power grid is already nearly at full capacity, and in the next few months, that capacity will be exceeded. This isn’t a question of “if” or really even “when.” It’s just a fact. Industry experts know this and have been trying to sound the alarm for several years. Critics are trying to place the blame on climate change (as they do with everything else) in the form of extended droughts and heatwaves. Those factors definitely exacerbate the problem, but this was going to happen in the next year or so anyway. And thus far, the government has done virtually nothing about it. In a moment we’ll look at what could be done if there is sufficient will to take action. (ksl.com)

Extreme temperatures and ongoing drought could cause the power grid to buckle across vast areas of the country this summer, potentially leading to electricity shortages and blackouts, a U.S. power grid regulator said Wednesday.
NERC, a regulating authority that oversees the health of the nation’s electrical infrastructure, says in its 2022 Summer Reliability Assessment that extreme temperatures and ongoing drought could cause the power grid to buckle. High temperatures, the agency warns, will cause the demand for electricity to rise. Meanwhile, drought conditions will lower the amount of power available to meet that demand.
“Industry prepares its equipment and operators for challenging summer conditions. Persistent, extreme drought and its accompanying weather patterns, however, are out of the ordinary and tend to create extra stresses on electricity supply and demand,” said Mark Olson, NERC’s manager of Reliability Assessments.


The federal government can not afford to simply ignore this problem and hope it goes away or miss the warning signs as they did with the current baby formula shortage and so many other things where the Biden administration claimed they aren’t “mind readers.” There will be no planes flying in extra electricity from Europe. There is no emergency federal reserve of electricity that the President release with an executive order. When demand for electricity exceeds supply, the utility companies will either have to begin a series of rolling blackouts in all of the affected states or the grid will suffer crippling damage and be down for months.

Dem’s anti-price gouging bills are ‘pretty gimmicky,’ likely won’t bring down inflation: former Obama adviser



"I think it is pretty gimmicky, these price gouging bills, because you know, you’ve got a lot of extra demand," Furman said. "What happens when demand goes up? Prices go up."

The average American is likely paying an extra $311 a month because of inflation, according to a recent Moody's Analytics analysis. The financial squeeze stems from the rising cost of everyday goods, including cars, rent, food, gasoline, and health care.

"There is an old saying, the cure for high prices is high prices," Furman said. "That's a little bit of a painful thing to deal with, but it is what elicits the additional supply, it brings more producers into the market, and it is what brings prices down."

"We need to let that process work," the economist continued. "You try to interfere with it, you are going to make things worse. We tried that in the seventies, it was a big failure. We shouldn't be repeating it again."

My Biden-Voting Friend Had 'No Idea' Things Could Get This Bad. Buckle Up, Buddy, We're Just Getting Started


A friend told me yesterday he voted for Biden because he was tired of Trump’s “drama.” He said he “didn’t vote for Jared Kushner or Ivanka” and didn’t like them “hanging around” the White House.

“Right message, wrong guy,” he said of Trump.

My buddy considers himself a “non-Trumping, Democrat-hating conservative.” I guess his “non-Trumping” bias trumped (heh-heh) his hatred of Democrats.

He claimed he had “no idea things would get this bad under Biden.”

My friend also doesn’t like the far-left judge in the Bronx who has a habit of releasing violent criminals from jail. He lives nearby.

“She’s causing a one-woman crime wave,” my friend lamented. He fears for his family’s safety and worries about his 2-year-old granddaughter’s future.

My response to him was, “You get what you vote for.”

“But I didn’t vote for this,” he argued.

Yes, he did.

Life under Trump was great. We as a nation were already rebounding from the “pandemic.” Gas was cheap and inflation wasn’t an issue. We were energy-independent. Putin’s dream of reuniting the band, the Soviet Union, was postponed and his tanks were sitting cold and getting rusty.

And my friend had a problem with Jared and Ivanka?

That is how good we had it — you had to whine about “Jared and Ivanka” or “Trump’s drama” when you wanted to find something to complain about.

His analysis claimed:

The resulting inflation has indisputably produced economic pain for millions of families, eroding the buying power of higher paychecks. At the same time, they have not been “crushed” badly enough to prevent them from spending at a steady pace.
That’s because families up and down the income scale, thanks to Covid relief checks, generally still have more money than before the pandemic; in the lingo of economic analysts, “household balance sheets” still have “excess savings.” Unemployment has fallen back below 4%.

People didn't take well to being told otherwise when what they've experienced has indeed been "crushing," or that they've felt "crushed."

Understandably, the news upset many of State Farm’s customers, and they made their feelings known. The insurance giant has now ended their partnership with The GenderCool Project according to an internal email reviewed by RedState Monday afternoon, and the company unequivocally states that conversations with children about gender and identity are not the business of the schools.

State Farm’s support of philanthropic program, The GenderCool Project, has been the subject of news reports and customer inquiries….
….
Conversations about gender and identity should happen at home with parents. We don’t support requiring curriculum in schools on this topic. We support organizations providing resources for parents to have these conversations. We will no longer support that program.

But in the long run, an inflated price for gasoline is, I would argue, good for the environment. It may encourage people to take carpools to work, to bicycle and walk more. This will improve health and welfare.

The price spike may further spur the development of battery-driven cars. Both Ford and General Motors have said they will be manufacturing all-electric fleets by 2030. I never thought I would live to see the day.

True, batteries need to be recharged, and their energy efficiency will turn on the “energy mix” in the local electricity grid. Most grids in the U.S. are powered by multiple sources of energy, including renewables such as wind and solar. President Biden has pledged to work towards decarbonizing the U.S. electricity grid by 2035. And the bipartisan $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill provides funding for electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

High gas prices may intensify the search for alternative energy sources. Former President Trump claims wind farms kill birds, but they make a sustainable source of battery recharging. Hydrogen as an alternative transportation fuel stems from its ability to power fuel cells in zero-emission vehicles, its potential for domestic production and the fuel cell’s fast filling time and high efficiency. Today 95 percent of the hydrogen produced in the United States is made by natural gas reforming, an advanced production process that builds upon the existing natural gas pipeline delivery infrastructure.

Besides, hydrogen is much cheaper than crude and may also be a source of clean energy. The Green New Deal movement has been anathema to the far-right climate deniers, who have argued that environmentalists are undercutting the teachings of religion.

Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) has cited the Bible as his basis for denying climate change. Inhofe, past chair of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, has argued for years that only God, not men and women, can affect climate. He said in a 2012 address: “[M]y point is, God’s still up there. The arrogance of people to think that we, human beings, would be able to change what He is doing in the climate is to me outrageous.” It couldn’t be that the real basis is that Oklahoma is an oil and gas state.

Rep. John Shimkus (R-Ill.), who served in the House for 24 years, believes global warming is nothing to worry about “because God promised in the book of Genesis that he wouldn’t destroy the earth after the flood.” God decides when the “earth will end,” he thundered. Shimkus forgot that the almighty’s promise was tightly hedged: While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.” In the words of Shakespeare: “The devil can cite scripture for his purpose.”

Biden Admin: K-12 Schools Must Put Boys In Girls’ Bathrooms To Get Federal Lunch Money



Under this new demand, establishments that accept any federal food funding, including food stamps, must also allow males who claim to be female to access female private spaces, such as showers, bathrooms, and sleeping areas. Such organizations must also follow protocols such as requiring staff to use inaccurate pronouns to describe transgender people and allowing male staff to dress as women while on the job.

Religious institutions, however, qualify for a waiver exempting them from these requirements, said Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Greg Baylor in an interview Monday. According to the 1972 Title IX law, he said, religious institutions don’t have to file any paperwork to be exempt, although they can if they wish.

Baylor noted, however, that publicly affirming a commitment to sexual reality by seeking an exemption acknowledgment from federal agencies may assist extremist pressure campaigns. The activist group Human Rights Campaign’s blueprint for the Biden administration pushed for narrowing religious exemptions for multiple federal regulations and for the administration to “out” individuals and institutions who request such exemptions.

As Texas Families Get The Worst News Imaginable, Biden’s Attention is On The ‘Gun Lobby’



Hours after the tragedy, at the same time that Biden was rattling off Democrat talking points about guns, terrified Texas parents were having their worst nightmares confirmed, learning that their son or daughter was one of the 19 child victims confirmed so far. One Texas reporter documented as families burst into sobs outside the reunification site upon hearing the unimaginable news that they would never hold their children again, writing, “The agonized screams of family members are audible from the parking lot.”

That the president would, at the same time, ask, “When in God’s name are we going to stand up to the gun lobby” reveals that he doesn’t really care about the heartbreak that no word on a page could possibly capture. His first priority isn’t traumatized children or their anguished parents who would have traded places with their lost little ones in a heartbeat.

To this administration, the Texas victims are not much more than a stick with which to beat their opponents and an opportunity to capitalize on their vendetta against firearms and those who value the rights of law-abiding Americans to bear them.

Biden had a chance to convince us otherwise and to unify the country in a moment of grieving. But in a matter of minutes on a day of tragedy, he confirmed where his heart really is, and it isn’t with the victims. It’s with the Democrat National Committee’s to-do list.

Letter From A US Supplier Of Industrial Chemicals: "I Have Never Seen Anything Like The Current Supply Problems"



In his latest weekly letter to client, One River Asset Management CIO, Eric Peters, attached a letter that a small US supplier of industrial chemicals sent to all its customers earlier this month, in which they apologize for their 70% price hikes. It forecasts additional price hikes.

Dear Customer:
I hope that you and your business are doing well. New price sheets are enclosed. I have been working at xxxxxxxxxx Industries for over 50 years. I have never seen anything like the current supply problems.
Not with COVID-19 in 2020, not during Nixon's presidency in 1968 and 1969. Raw materials are in short supply, because good workers cannot be found, because of production line breakdowns, because of COVID-19 variant outbreaks, because the automotive industry let themselves run out of everything, because freight rates have increased and now, because of a Hitler doppelganger trying to start a World War.

The cost of metal containers has more than doubled in some cases. We can't get plastic buckets. The prices of all plastic containers have gone up sharply. The main ingredient in metal adhesive has nearly doubled in cost, and freight on the next container of it is expected to double.
Prices are up from 5% to 70% with even more increases expected.
We hoped to hold our pricing until costs came back down. That was a mistake.
Now we are faced with having to catch-up because prices are out of control and are apparently not coming back down.
We have not offered the usual 30-day notice of the increases because we have already been paying these higher costs. Old prices were below cost in some cases.
What we are offering is 10% off the new prices until May 25. This is for one order only, in quantities similar to your usual orders.
Unfortunately, if you order more than an average amount, we will have to cut back your order so that everyone can get some product. With supply running considerably behind current demand we cannot let a few customers get the lion's share. I hope you understand.
Thank you for your continued business.
Best regards, xxxxxxxxx.

Coming to your industry and its suppliers soon...

Already here. A simple 4-channel opto-coupler IC that would normally costs $2/chip through regular distributors, now costs $10/chip via back channels.

the poor dad
We got notice last week that paint is goig up 9% next week. I believe this is the 2nd or 3rd increase for paint in the last 6 months.
