Whether Biden is the one making these decisions, or he is a sinecure, the result is just as bad as always. I wonder if any of these people know that their Constitution doesn't allow this federal "assistance" – or that the "hydrogen hub" idea only can be tested and shown to have value in private market activity. I suspect REAL investors, using their own money and not relying on tax-subsidized "partnership" action, would stay very, very, far away from this idiocy.

Biden Admin Inks $12.6 Billion Deal With Blue State For Massive New Green Energy Hub
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) signed a $12.6 billion agreement to build a “clean,” “renewable” hydrogen hub in California on Wednesday, according to a press release from Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom. In a first-of-its-kind deal, the DOE agreed to provide $1.2 billion to the Alliance for Renewable Clean Hydrogen Energy Systems (ARCHES) under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, with the remaining $11.4 billion coming from public...

By the way, why do they have to attach the descriptor "clean" to everything?

Here's a nice, "multi-story story" of unconstitutional central planning... It turns out that the US govt has a program that operates OUTSIDE the US to "fly migrants back" from the Darien Gap in Panama to their "country of origin." That, itself, is unconstitutional. Then, as this report notes, that program isn't really doing what the Bidenistas promised. The "migrants" can opt not to fly back.

Biden-funded deportation flights from ‘migrant superhighway’ to US are voluntary
The Biden administration-funded deportation flights, which were supposed to help Panama deport illegal migrants caught crossing the treacherous Darien Gap on their way to the US, are voluntary, Panama’s President said Thursday. Under a deal signed earlier this month, the US agreed to “cover” the costs of repatriating the illegal migrants after Panama’s new President, José Raúl Mulino, vowed to shut down the dangerous stretch of jungle — which is...

Of course, if migrants or other low-skilled workers want to work in many places in the US, they will have to work under the table, not only because of immigration statutes that block freedom of association, but because of minimum wage statutes that ALSO block freedom of association and contract. And in CA, they really don't seem to grasp the direness of the situation. They've already pummeled the fast-food workers there, and it looks like they are ready for the next wage mandate HIKE!

California’s $20 fast food minimum wage could be hiked again: ‘definition of stupidity’
California officials plan to ask for another hike to the state’s controversial $20 minimum wage for fast food workers – despite the new law being blamed for higher menu prices and restaurant closings since it went into effect in April. Members of the California Food Council, which lobbied successfully for the pay hike, are planning to seek an additional 3.5% raise when they meet at the end of the month, according to Restaurant Business.

Bjorn Lomborg has a new, peer-reviewed, study about the climate change canard and the expenses of some the big "cures." In it, people can read what he also notes on X, that, as we oft have said at MRTV and I've mentioned to my audience at Liberty Conspiracy, there are fewer big storms than in years past, contrary to the narratives of the Climate Cultists...

This is surprising, coming from Illinois' Gov Pritzger, but the public pressure, especially about eminent domain, appears to be intense. Dem Gov. Pritzker Pushes Back on Biden's Green Energy Plan, Signs Law Pumping the Brakes on All New Projects (msn.com)
Democratic Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed legislation into law on Thursday regulating new carbon capture sequestration projects in the state.

Another strike against Biden's DOE-initiated push to expand Title Nine to apply to "trans" people, this time, in the Sixth Circuit... Given the recent SCOTUS knock-down of the Chevron Deference tradition (this knock-down coming in the Loper Bright decision two weeks ago), it looks unlikely that Biden's "agency" inspired re-reading of Title Nine will stand. The next question might be, will Congress pass a statute to expand it in order to fit Biden's druthers? C'mon, man!

Alejandro again displays an uncanny knack for deflection. As Dan Bongino noted on his live show Monday (I got to record the segment), there ARE places for women in this kind of "protection service" because some of the people who are given this taxpayer-funded, tragedy-of-the-commons, protection, are women, and when they do to places like the bathroom, a woman guard joining her allows for more comfort for the guarded person. But that's not Alejandro's angle here, at all. It's just identity-politics deflection from the justified complaints citing the impropriety of having women try to guard a large man...

Likewise, these 200 Congressional staffers "anonymously signed" (wha--?) a letter protesting Netanyahu's speech. Given the fact that they have continued to work in these Congressional offices while the US send billions in cash and weapons to Israel, what appears to be more objectionable to them? Why are they protesting the Netanyahu speech, but they have remained silent about the actual votes to send weapons Netanyahu uses to do what these staffers find immoral? Why didn't they leave their jobs and stop supporting what they do not like Netanyahu doing?

First VID! Here’s Viva Frei with Michael Yon. Michael is a world-traveled war correspondent, former soldier, and a man who has some valuable thoughts on the mystery behind that photo of the bullet flying behind Trump in PA. Michael’s own personal story is fascinating, and they begin with some of that, then, you might notice that in the clip of Andrea Mitchel talking to the photographer who took the picture of Trump, the photographer mentions that once he “heard the pops” he just kept his finger down on the cam to keep the pics going, at his already set high-speed shutter setting. But that doesn’t make sense. The first shot was the one targeting Trump, so there were not “pops”, there was one at that moment. ALSO, the bullet arrives BEFORE the sound of the “pop” of the powder X number of yards away. What that photographer said is impossible for him to have done. Watch for him to change the wording next time he answers this kind of question. Personally, I think it’s very telling, and it indicates to me that he is not telling the truth. As far as the physics and acoustics are concerned, he already is saying something that is not possible on two fronts. The preliminary chat between Viva and Michael Yon centers mostly on Michael’s personal story of entering the military, trouble he encountered as a young man, and his love of photography. I found it interesting, but, if you want to skip that, just scroll to the 1hr, 4 min mark to prep the spot where Andrea talks to that photographer. You’ll also notice that neither man focuses on what that photographer says. I wish they had spotted that and wondered, as I wondered, at the illogic of what that man said to Mitchell. Andrea M might have followed up with some pressing questions, as well… https://rumble.com/v57pctw-the-trump-bullet-shot-controversy-live-with-veteran-combat-photographer-mic.html
