The Carpenters - Yesterday Once More (INCLUDES LYRICS) x YouTube Video Finland! Finland’s Turn Finland is gripped by wartime mania. News reports show mothers baking celebratory NATO cakes, online sales of NATO flags are soaring, and a Savonlinna-based brewing company has recently rolled out a NATO-themed beer, Otan olutta (the first word is a play on the French acronym for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization; the full name means ‘I’ll have some beer’ in Finnish). The outgoing Social Democratic Prime Minister Sanna Marin has repeatedly emphasized the similarities between the 1939 Finnish–Russian War and today’s conflict in Ukraine. Hundreds of Finns, including the former chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee, have paid to have personalized messages inscribed on Ukrainian artillery shells fired at Russian forces. Renewables! FEMA is sued over rebuilding Puerto Rico's power grid without focusing on renewables Interior OKs massive power line key for West’s renewables Texas bills call for renewables to help save declining fossil fuel sector The Texas Senate on Wednesday passed a package of bills that would cut support from wind and solar power and force renewable electricity producers to help pay for new fossil fuel power plants. The five bills are part of a larger campaign by the Republican-controlled body to redirect growth in the states’ flourishing renewable energy sector — by far the largest in the country — toward oil and gas. The effort seeks to establish the long-term primacy of “dispatchable” electricity — in practice, gas powered plants — over renewables. Boo! Hiss! But note that TX now has to pretend to support renewables, and that coal is out of the mix. EVs! EPA proposes new tailpipe rules that could push EVs to make up two-thirds of new car sales in US by 2032 To get from 7% to 75% in 9 years requires a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 30%, far above recent growth. That is to say, 1.39=10.6. I like it. We’re getting real now.

I’ll spare you the sordid details, and my personal list from a few years ago of hundreds of examples. Fox Caught Lying to Dominion Analysis: Fox News has been exposed as a dishonest organization terrified of its own audience Judge in Dominion case sanctions Fox for withholding evidence, plans to appoint special master to probe possible misconduct Lordy, There are tapes of Giuliani and Bartiromo Caught on Tape: Trump Official Told Fox News Dominion Voting Machines Were Legit The release of the audio comes in the throes of Dominion’s $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit over Fox’s attempts to link the company to nonexistent election fraud. Earlier on Wednesday, Delaware Judge Eric Davis sanctioned Fox News after the company was caught withholding evidence from Dominion’s lawyers, including recorded conversations with Trump lawyers Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell. Abby Grossberg, a former Tucker Carlson producer who has claimed the network coerced her testimony regarding the lawsuit, provided the recordings to the court. “I’m going to be asking you for as much evidence as you can tell us about these lawsuits. Whatever you can tell us in terms of evidence would be really helpful,” says Bartiromo. “I can tell you exactly what we have,” says Giuliani, who admits when asked about Dominion’s software, says “that’s a little harder.” After Bragg Sued Jordan He Got Another Death Threat Manhattan DA Sues Jim Jordan Over House GOP Trump Case Probe (2) Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg is sent another threatening letter and white powder The envelope also included a photo of former President Donald Trump. The powder was determined to be nonhazardous, sources said. Fani Willis Georgia prosecutors considering racketeering and conspiracy charges in probe of effort to overturn Trump's 2020 loss, source says The Fulton County probe expanded beyond the Trump phone calls to include false claims of election fraud to state lawmakers, the fake elector scheme, efforts by unauthorized individuals to access voting machines in one Georgia county and threats and harassment against election workers. Willis previously said their far-reaching investigation included potential "solicitation of election fraud, the making of false statements to state and local governmental bodies, conspiracy, racketeering, violation of oath of office and any involvement in violence or threats related to the election's administration." A Fulton County judge approved the district attorney's request to document testimony by all 75 witnesses who appeared before the special grand jury, so the full record of transcripts could become public record, according to a source familiar with the investigation. Although, timing details of when this treasure trove of information could be released is still unclear.
