Three Things I Learned, August 6
“News is what powerful people want to keep hidden. Everything else is just publicity.” Bill Moyers
1. But we have money for this? Sean Duffy, the Transportation Secretary and Interim NASA Administrator (yes, the felon is having trouble finding people willing to work for him, so those that do get multiple jobs, ensuring they will do none of them well. Oh yeah, none of them have experience or competence, so they weren’t going to do the jobs well anyway) is announcing accelerated plans to build a nuclear reactor on the moon by 2030. No, it won’t happen, but it’s telling, somehow, that this is the kind of thing the regime pretends to care about. And while it won’t get done, that doesn’t mean he won’t give one of his cronies a hundred-billion-dollar contract to do it. So we the taxpayer may well pay for it, even while it will never exist.
2. Because fossil fuels are fun and climate change isn’t real! The regime is scrapping the federal plans for expansion of offshore wind power (note; worldwide, and in the US, both wind and solar are now cheaper than fossil fuels, and we have largely, just in the past year, solved the storage problem, so we don’t need the wind to blow or sun to shine to have electricity; see what happens when we let scientists do their work!). They erased 3.5 million acres of federal waters once earmarked for offshore wind, halting all new leasing in the Atlantic and Pacific. Seventeen states attorneys general and the District of Columbia have sued, saying the policy illegally tilts federal planning towards fossil fuels. You think? Hint: look at who bought the felon the presidency.
3. TACO alert! The felon and Rupert Murdoch have reached a deal to postpone Murdoch’s deposition in the $20 billion libel suit the felon filed over the Epstein letter. A few days ago, the felon demanded that Murdoch MUST be deposed within 15 days. Of course, then so would the felon, and he will never submit to be deposed in this matter, so for now it is all delayed for months, or forever. Not that talk of the files is going anywhere anytime soon.
