Roanoke Times, 2-24-2021, Pg NandW A4: GOPO measures aim to stifle Black voters in Georgia

Instead of RaceBaiting, the RT and PravdaMedia should look at the massive voter validation issues when there is No VoterID.
Sending out millions of ballots to whomever and getting back millions of ballots from whomever to verify and count without VoterID and worse destroying the outer cover that contains the ‘signature’ so that it is Impossible to do a post-vote audit or review!
And what vote counters are qualified to validate a signature in the first place?

Washington Post: Joe Biden Has ‘Won Praise’ for ‘Low-key’ Approach to Texas Disaster
https://www.breitbart.com/the-media/2021/02/21/washington-post-joe-biden-has-won-praise-for-low-key-approach-to-texas-disaster/
Biden ignored the Texas disaster for days. He did not speak to the governors of states affected by the winter storm until after a journalist raised the question during a White House press briefing. He did not even tweet about Texas until several days into the crisis:
-
-
Based on the latest Biden DOE revelations, it may be that the White House was in a ‘Low-Key’ quandary over how to ‘cover-up’ their potential malfeasance in throttling the Texas power system as a major blizzard barreled southward.

-
It's key to have an "Independent Analysis" of all the factors involved including the decisions on the

• Energy mix -- Renewables vs Established
• What 100% back-up capabilities were established for Renewables
• What assumptions were made about Texas' recurring blizzards impacts to generation systems
• What role Biden's DOE played as the storm approached.

An order issued by the Biden Administration's Acting Secretary of Energy David Huizenga reveals that the Department of Energy limited the amount of power Texas could use to combat the power crisis the state is facing.
Biden Energy Department used environmental regulations to block Texas from increasing available power before storm

Texas asked to temporarily lift regulations on energy output to avoid disaster. Biden's DOE refused to help due to "green energy standards". pic.twitter.com/Zt52hT8dzL
The order, dated to Feb 14, noted that Texas Governor Greg Abbott "declared a state of disaster in all 254 Texas counties due to severe weather posing an 'imminent threat of widespread and severe property damage, injury, and loss of life due to prolonged freezing temperatures, heavy snow, and freezing rain statewide.'"
"The order specified increasing the priority of gas supplies to ERCOT generators. ERCOT's application also noted that the 'Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has indicated that it will provide enforcement discretion to generators in the ERCOT region that may exceed state emissions requirements during emergency conditions.'"

Step 1: truncate current systems.
Step 2: Implement Renewables that require 100% BackUp by the systems truncated in Step 1.

Of wildlife interest: squirrels can jump out of the highest trees and hit the ground running -- because they are buoyant enough to limit their terminal velocity.  Not so much for people who's terminal velocity is about 110-MPH.

The second biggest Covid scandal, after Cuomo’s nursing home malfeasance
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2021/02/cuomo-from-king-to-jester.html

In the EU many schools never closed and the remaining restarted last September.
US private schools have been operating since September!
It’s now clear that Not starting US Public Schools has become the biggest Extortion Racket in US history making the Mafia look like lunch money snitches.

Second Ransom Payment:
(Will not the WarpSpeed vaccines be in-arms before this money can be spent for anything?)
https://www.future-ed.org/what-congressional-covid-funding-means-for-k-12-schools/
(Updated 2/18/2021) The House Budget Committee will meet Monday to consider a $1.9 trillion stimulus package proposed by President Joe Biden that would dedicate an additional $170 billion for K-12 schools and higher education, as well as spending billions more to prop up the state and local governments that are critical to funding education.
Both houses cleared the way in early February for considering the resolution, and the Biden administration released a detailed, $145 billion estimate of what K-12 schools still need to ensure buildings can safely reopen and students can recover their academic momentum. These include $60 billion to prevent layoffs and $50 billion for the equipment and modifications needed to achieve physical distancing. About 20 percent of the dollars would go toward addressing learning loss. His American Rescue Plan includes $130 billion toward K-12 priorities.

The Goreites are swarming over the Texas PowerOutage Disaster with a massive PR campaign to protect their turf and storyline.
The 'unbiased' storyline comes from the utility that owns the disaster.  Really?
Their PravdaMedia is spinning faster than the Texas WindTurbines.
-
It wasn’t the WindTurbine Failures that caused this massive power outage – it was Global Warming!
-
50% of the WindTurbines were knocked-out during a period of increasing Demand and the necessary 24-7-365 BackUp systems were Not in place!
When the Grid Supply drops below the Grid Demand the Grid either shuts down or operators must ‘Shed Load’ until Supply = Demand.
That Shedding is called BlackOuts!

The ‘Orwell-Gore 1984’ assertion that this Blizzard is caused by man-made AGW GlobalWarming leaves much to the imagination since there have been many Blizzards both before and after the CO2 build-up. Ergo Texas 1957:

Texas deep freeze leaves millions without power, 21 dead
https://www.aol.com/news/texas-deep-freeze-leaves-millions-061829487-110349580.html
“Texas deep freeze leaves millions without power, 21 dead
LUBBOCK, Texas (Reuters) - A historic winter storm has killed at least 21 people, left millions of Texans without power and spun killer tornadoes into the U.S. Southeast on Tuesday.
The brutal cold has engulfed vast swaths of the United States, shuttering COVID-19 inoculation centers and hindering vaccine supplies. It is not expected to relent until the weekend.
Officials in Texas drew criticism as the state energy grid repeatedly failed, forcing rolling blackouts. Freezing weather stilled giant wind turbines that dot the West Texas landscape, making it impossible for energy companies to meet escalating demand.”
“An Arctic air mass descended over much of the country, pushing temperatures to historic lows on Tuesday, Pagano said. In Lincoln, Nebraska, a reading of minus 31 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 35 degrees Celsius) on Tuesday shattered a record set in 1978 of minus 18F (minus 27C).”
