Despite the bias of the "journos" here, it's easy to see that this is important because it's another example of pork payoffs to state political interests and corporate interests while it also keeps "fueling the fire" of the Climate Cult and its push for "alternative energy" sources. How about they stop putting their thumbs on the scales for this, for oil, natural gas, wind, solar, and the attendant tech they want to promote (like EVs, heat pumps, and all the infrastructure for their "green future") and they let people be free to pursue their interests in the market? Perhaps you, too, are realizing that we plebians are just too thick-headed to decide what is best for our own lives. 😉 LINK!
US awards up to $2.2 billion to speed clean-hydrogen development
By Timothy Gardner WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Department of Energy said on Wednesday it has awarded up to $2.2 billion to centers on the Gulf Coast and in the Midwest to develop hydrogen, an emerging source of energy that is expensive to produce using renewable power.

In the green-graft vein, let's look at one of the big states in this land of Make Believe - NY. On the heels of the big push for a NYC congestion tax/fee to enter the city, Gov Kathy Hochul is ready to have the cash-strapped govt of the Empire State subsidize people buying new "green" appliances. And, of course, they use the canard that the appliances will "save" a magical amount for the consumers — something that consumers could adjudge for themselves as they look at the various things about which they must decide in their lives. The Hochuls of the world love to take people's money to subsidize behavior and industries they adore. LINK!

Here's a great example of media bias. The SF Chronicle reports on these high school girls and their lawsuit for being prohibited from wearing T-shirts that say, "Save Girls' Sports" and, "It’s common sense, XX ≠ XY." The girls are trying to preserve girls' sports as what they are supposed to be: sporting competitions between athletes who are biological females, and they are trying to prevent the entrance into said sporting events of males posing as females. The "trans agenda" puts the competition in question, it puts girls at higher risk of physical injury, and it opens the proverbial door to girls having to share locker rooms with males. Notice how the SF Chronicle depicts the shirts as "transphobic", says the girls are "targeting" a teammate (when no individual has been mentioned on the shirt), and doesn't even say what is on the shirts until near the end of the article. Here's the link. The court case is going to expose a lot of the biases of the people in the court system, and no one will discuss the elephant in the room: the tax-funded argument-fighting-pit of public schools.

Student athletes sue California district over right to wear shirts targeting trans teammate
Two teammates of a high school cross-country runner who is transgender have filed a lawsuit against Riverside Unified School District in Southern California, alleging that the player “unfairly” took their spot at a team event and that their free speech rights were violated when they were told to stop wearing T-shirts with transphobic messages. Their complaint blew up at the district’s Thursday school board meeting, where dozens of people showed...

Here's a more even-handed look, featuring an actual interview with the girls. LINK!

And, as the second link mentions, there are big Title 9 questions here. Biden's Dept of Ed was prevented from expanding the interpretation of Title 9 to mean that public schools had to allow for "equal entrance" of males into women's sports. It's astounding to think that the trans ideology has taken the imposition of Title 9, which was supposed to force equal everything in school sports for males and females — and invaded the girls' sports to allow males into them. Biden's attempt to expand Title 9 would have made that official policy. Stunning, and all preventable, if people would stop thinking it's okay to force others to pay for education.

Hold on. How is this possible? She's willingly taking a pay CUT? Shouldn't there be some kind of... Mandated minimum wage for TV propagandists?

As various governors such as JB Pritzker, Maura Healey, and Gavin Newsom (and a few others), as well as some mayors, such as Michelle Wu, of Boston, vow that they will oppose Trump's potential increase in attempted deportations of "illegal immigrants" or "undocumented migrants," another mayor has weighed in. The Mayor of Denver is saying that the federal attempt to police the migrants could lead to a Tienanmen Square moment. LINK!

In a related story, the Bidenistas are engaging in one last push to open the door to centrally planned migrant facilitation. They are going to allow for "virtual" check-ins for new "immigrants". Regardless of what one thinks of the fact that the Constitution doesn't give the feds power over immigration, how about NOT taking my neighbor's money to create such an "online" portal? How about NOT taking my neighbor's money to grant federal handouts to cities and states that take in migrants and give them hotel rooms, funded by the taxpayers? LINK!

Also on the immigration front. We see Mass Gov Maura H now saying that she will end the state-funded hotel-stays for migrants. Of course, in this article, they use the term "homeless" when anyone who lives in the area or has covered this policy (as we have at MRCTV) knows it's a policy she brought about to house migrants. Welllll, now, Maura Healey is doing the ol' bait-and-switch (similar to what Eric Adams did in NYC with his "debit cards for migrants — then, claim and end to 'assistance,' but start a housing assistance for migrants" tactic). She is claiming an end to the "free hotels" thing, annnnd, expanding literal housing assistance for "the homeless" to buy homes or apartments. How is this not a continuation of welfarism? LINK!

One wonders if Trump will support this and help get it passed. One of the strange things about The Donald's claim that he would end the Dept of Ed is that he still would hand out federal cash to states and universities (even holding over the heads of the universities the Sword of Damocles that they must stop campus protests in accordance with his preferences, or he won't give them the gravy — gravy that the US Constitution doesn't even allow to be slathered on colleges or anything else involved with education, in the first place)... Take a look at this bill. Jimmy Carter's foolish creation is tough to end. LINK!

The FACE act is immoral and unconstitutional. Regardless of what the folks might be protesting (in this case, it's the abomination of abortion, something the US government uses our tax money to subsidize, worldwide), the feds are supposed to have ZERO say over speech on the streets of any city, in any state. This delay is interesting, but it really serves to shed light on the corruption of the FACE Act and the federal involvement in mass murder. LINK!

I got to talk about this on my streaming show Friday, as the so-called "poor" nations' reps claimed the "rich" nations had to hand them MONEY... What a surprise! It's about global redistribution of wealth, handing special payoffs to special corporate and banking friends, and, in the end, making those third-world "leaders" dependent on the graft, even to the point of a new form of "green colonialism" tied to the World Bank, ECB, and UN.

Here's a great example of a person not comprehending the concepts of private property and free association. He runs his own company, yet clamors for the state of California to tell other business owners, their employees, and the consumers who will be the final targets of the mandates, that the employees should be paid more per hour, even if the labor doesn't show that kind of value to the consumers (the employer and the final employer, the consumer)... He will not let his neighbors live in peace. If he tried this as an individual with a weapon, people would see the sheer criminality in the act of force, but this is syphoned through the government, giving it the fake patina of acceptability.

Not only is this crazy for its fear of religious content, it's a form of distancing from English history, itself. The story cannot be understood unless one recognizes its focus on the martyrdom of the Archbishop during the long battle over whether Catholicism or Protestantism would be the religion tied to the monarchy.

This is pernicious and vile. And it is getting little attention in the pop media. Thanks to AntiWar for their good work. Here is the link to the story on the US House passing a bill to let the Treasury Secretary define a non-profit as “supporting Hamas” (something the US and Israeli governments did for Hamas for years, providing millions in tax-debt cash to the leaders of Hamas, to the satisfaction of Benjamin Netanyahu, which all has been documented) and revoke tax-exempt status from those groups. Arbitrary, capricious, thuggish and hypocritical. LINK!
That's it for the text-story links! Now, on to VIDEOS!
First, this conversation between Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate of The GrayZone, is excellent. They really dig into the dynamics of the International Criminal Court and its announcement of a warrant for the arrest of Netanyahu and Gallant. LINK!
Second! This interplay between Judge Andrew Napolitano, Ray McGovern, and Larry Johnson on Netanyahu, Ukraine, and Russia, is really valuable. Check it out!
