Here’s a delightful tidbit from CA, where, despite the years of PG&E mismanagement and state and federal government mistreatment of the land they claim to run — despite the screwed-up water supply and the CA government idiotically pushing for EVs that they now worry might burst into flames, even as they sit in the way of cleanup — one of the most infamous members of the CA Assembly has introduced a bill to allow residents to sue oil/nat-gas companies for the DAMAGE done to their homes in wildfires. Here's a lovely interview with our pal, Scott Weiner, from San Fran. LINK, and here is more on his insane bill. LINK!

With a Trump demand so high, one wonders what CBS will offer to settle. The "60 Minutes" display was shameful, but not unusual, in their long history of bias and unbalanced "reporting". Here's the latest, from Gateway Pundit. LINK!

Annnnd, Trump just made our lives more expensive, and threw fists at US manufacturers... With Executive Branch action that totally skirts the Congress' enumerated power to handle tariffs, but which members of Congress years ago handed to Trump in yet another unconstitutional move. It's all rosy, here on Fantasy Island. LINK!
AS CNBC reports, the tariffs against Canada, Mexico, and China mostly will take effect Tuesday. It would be interesting if a US manufacturer or other consumer (or group) had the time and money to sue for breach of the Constitution over this, because Trump simply has no such power. Then there are the practical problems of this tax, which Trump says is just the start. Tariffs are gang violence against people who want to peacefully engage in free market exchange. They never are a positive, because they are based on coercion and threats. LINK!

It's erroneous to claim this "expands school choice" when the taxpayers have no choice NOT to pay for the schools. Not only is this simply a new way for federal meddling to occur, it gives people of a conservative bent the mistaken impression that Trump is doing something laudable, when he is extending and steering the unconstitutional federal funding of education. My dad tried to help eliminate the Dept of Ed, and he left, saying he was not going to succeed that he was just taking tax money continuing at his Quixotic quest. Charlotte Iserbyt left at about the same time, for the same reasons. Here is the new "Hero" Trump move. LINK!

Stemming from the case of a landscaping company in Maryland being targeted by the Biden Admin over "breaches" of "labor law" (ie unconstitutional diktats about how companies and employees can engage in what should be private employment and compensation agreements) this has turned into an utterly astounding and revealing government claim. The govt claims it can simply TAKE money from people because, well it's not property. They argue that the money is created by the Fed, licensed by the US govt, and it actually BELONGS to the govt! This is a clear manifestation of the idea that govt precedes people, that we are dependent on its beneficence, and I doubt it will get the attention it deserves. LINK!

Given the French govt's eagerness to send troops to Ukraine, is it any surprise that "Jupiter" in Paris should offer to send soldiers to Greenland, even as Trump tosses around reckless threats about tariffs and Hegseth would not rule out an invasion when Hirono asked him about it last week in the Senate?

As people debate and investigate the causes of the DC airplane-copter collision, the tragic event has led many to investigate something that may or may not be tied to the event, but which ought to get attention: the DEI policies of the Biden Admin within the FAA. The FAA, itself, is a centralized, unconstitutional bureaucracy and it should be eliminated. I got to know a young lady who was an air traffic controller in Boston, and she told me of how antiquated their systems were, how stressful the job is... Here's come good reporting from Selwyn Duke for The New American. LINK!

As Breitbart applauds, people might want to keep in mind that there is no Declaration of War here and this man was given no due process. This continues a long back and forth for the US and ISIS, sometimes portraying ISIS as the enemy even as people like John McCain and the CIA supported them. This is messy, unconstitutional, and will be applauded by so-called "conservatives" who ought to know better and say something about it. LINK!
Dr. Sebastian Gorka, a Deputy Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Counterterrorism at the National Security Council in the White House, told Breitbart News exclusively that the White House intends to release the video of the successful operation conducted on Saturday morning to eliminate a top Islamic State terrorist in northern Somalia.

Article #15. The New American correctly states the Obama-Biden DEI policies of the FAA. And they quote The Blaze - IN 2018. 2018 - "In contrast, licensed pilots...aren't highly scored." Did I mention their mention was made in 2018? Who filled that Obama-Biden Oval Office gap in 2018? New American's "newsheimers" (H/T Chris Plante) is right up there with Breitbart's scribes: Slant by omission.
Article #2 In a Jan 17 post, Binghamton radio station WNBF said Bing School District is buy E-buses. Stay tuned for possible barbecued kid stories. Is this the juxtaposition of ignorance and one of several other reasons? "Grant" money? Outright bribery from vested interests in EV manufacturing? Always questions. Rarely answers.
