      The Reality Of UnReliable ‘Renewables’ 
		
          -
Roanoke and New River fluctuations of 7-feet in 8-hours to result from hydro-dam water releases required to support the electric grid shortfalls due to Virginia government renewables malfeasance! 
- 
The reality of the need for 100% BackUp of the unreliable and intermittent ‘Renewable Energy Systems’ is now clear for all to see; even for those who are too blind to see.  And it's only 92-F, what to do when it gets hot?
- 
Ex.Va.D.Gov Northam and his 100% Renewable Jihad  is just starting to kick-in and already the grid energy shortfalls caused by shutting down the fossil-fueled electric generators is resulting in bad outcomes. 
- 
The ‘grid water-battery backup’ of the Roanoke River SML hydro-dams is very limited and ‘recharging the dams’ takes significant time and in the low-water summer months it's ineffective as a 'water-battery backup'.
The USGS Roanoke River flow data shows
https://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis/uv?site_no=02055000
 that for seven (7) consecutive years, if there were no 
release or pump-back from SML dam, the lake would rise less than a foot a
 month during the three summer months.
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2006/06/low-flow.html
-
It is unfathomable that state and federal governments can be so consumed by ‘The Gore-Greta-Kerry AGW Jihad’ that they can not and will not develop and implement grid power plans that provide ‘affordable 100%  24-7-365 Grid Power Reliability’! 
Is that not their responsibility?

Appalachian Power warns river users about increasing water levels

 -
Water levels on the New and Roanoke rivers could rise rapidly starting Tuesday and continue to fluctuate throughout the week due to increasing temperatures, Appalachian Power said Saturday.
Water levels below Claytor Dam could increase up to two feet “in a 
matter of minutes,” according to Appalachian Power. Water levels below 
Leesville Dam could increase as much as eight feet over a seven-hour 
period. 
The power company has issued a warning to recreational river users downstream of two of it's hydroelectric dams: the Claytor Dam on the New River and the Leesville Dam on the Roanoke River near Altavista. 
The National Weather Service has predicted temperatures next week in the mid-80s to 90s. Appalachian Power has been told by PJM, the independent regional transmission organization that manages the electric grid in 13 states, that power generation may need to be increased at its hydroelectric plants to maintain the reliability of the regional electric grid.

Former VT football player Isimemen Etute seeks to resume pursuit of degree, football

Etute was acquitted Friday evening of second-degree murder in the killing of Jerry Paul Smith, 40, a Blacksburg restaurant worker. 
The then 18-year-old was accused of fatally beating Smith, an openly gay man who had posed as a woman on the dating app Tinder to initiate a sexual encounter.

“In a strange sort of way, it kind of gives people who think it’s OK to beat up gay people, it kind of gives them permission to do that,” Cobb said, in a pained voice.

      From Energy Independence To Dependence
		
          -
Biden is reminiscent of the dairy farmer who drastically reduced his farming expenses by reducing the feed he fed to his dairy cows. 
- 
The US is suffering from Self-Inflicted Energy Inflation; having gone from Trump Energy Independence to Biden Energy Dependence.  Energy is a major factor in all aspects of transportation, HVAC, manufacturing and living life in the modern world. 
- 
Biden and the Gore-Greta-Kerry Democrats are enthusiastically embracing $5+ dollar gasoline and a tripling of natural-gas prices through self-imposed fiats, laws, regulations and decrees. 
The adverse consequence to the US economy and people is viewed as: 'let them eat cake'!
- 
The concept is to make so-called-renewables “appear to be” a break-even alternative to fossil-fuels and nuclear even though renewables are unreliable and intermittent sources of energy that require massive back-up systems and therefore are Not cheap.
To wit: how many renewable entities have disconnected from the grid where they get affordable 24-7-365 back-up current-energy?
- 
Not just fuels are impacted; so are all the many by-products of the crude-oil process. 
The gasoline distillates include diesel fuel and heating oil, jet fuel, petrochemical feedstocks, waxes, lubricating oils, and asphalt. 
No Biden words on how to make these and many more products “renewable”. 
- 
To add insult to injury its China that’s the major source of the renewable equipment that the US is installing.  Enriching China, our existential economic, political and military adversary, is a very bad outcome. 
It’s not just our wealth moving to China, it’s the Dependency Stupid!

      Run To The GunFire Or Not
		
          -
The pictures of police standing outside the Robb Elementary school while an active shooter was shooting inside and students were calling 911 is tragically reminiscent of the police standing outside February 14, 2018, as 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz opened fire on students and staff at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, murdering 17. 
-
At Uvalde TX, local ICE officers had a heated confrontation with local police over entering the school. 
-
Apparently “Run to the GunFire” is Not the standard procedure for all police!
 To add insult to injury the local police then lied about the event details.

Uvalde officers are under scrutiny for delay in stopping the school shooter. 
Police have been vilified nationwide these past two years for excessive use of force, so there’s no small irony in the criticism raining down on police in Uvalde, Texas, for waiting outside Robb Elementary School while Salvador Ramos was barricaded inside a classroom where he had murdered 19 children.

- 
Donald Trump’s political revenge campaign hit a wall in Georgia on Tuesday, as Gov. Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger easily defeated Trump-backed challengers. The question now is whether the former President will continue his vendetta by trying to defeat both men in November. 
- 
Mr. Kemp clobbered former Sen. David Perdue, 74% to 22%, as of the latest figures. Mr. Raffensperger beat Rep. Jody Hice, 52% to 33%, an outright majority win that requires no runoff. This remarkable outcome suggests most GOP voters are focused on winning the next election rather than re-litigating the last one. Mr. Trump is hurting himself by focusing on his personal resentments rather than the interests of the Republican Party.

WSJ:   America’s Summer of Rolling Blackouts 
https://www.wsj.com/articles/americas-summer-of-rolling-blackouts-green-energy-grid-north-american-electric-reliability-corporation-11653683348?mod=hp_opin_pos_1 
Green energy policies are making the nation’s electric-power grid increasingly unstable. 
- 
Summer is around the corner, and we suggest you prepare by buying an emergency generator, if you can find one in stock. Last week the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) warned that two-thirds of the U.S. could experience blackouts this summer. Welcome to the “green energy transition.” 
We’ve been warning for years that climate policies would make the grid more vulnerable to vacillations in supply and demand. And here we are. Some of the mainstream press are belatedly catching on that blackouts are coming, but they still don’t grasp the real problem: The forced transition to green energy is distorting energy markets and destabilizing the grid.

Why Elon Musk ties his free-speech fight to the collusion hoax and Hunter’s laptop. 
- 
This new ballgame, this ugly new reality, came into the open in a way that formerly would have been hard to envisage outside Vladimir Putin’s Russia, when 50 former U.S. intelligence officials, led by Obama veterans, concocted and sold to the media a legend about the Hunter Biden laptop story. We now have one foot in a future that should horrify any American, with U.S. intelligence veterans, like Russia’s siloviki, gaslighting our electorate to influence a presidential election.

      Horrific Texas School Shooting
		
          -
On May 24, 2022, 18-year-old Salvador Ramos opened fire at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas,  killing 19 children and two teachers, and wounding 17 others. Earlier that day, he shot and wounded his 66-year-old grandmother.

           (may have to copy-paste link into browser to view fox article) 
Abbott spoke for roughly ten minutes before attempting to transfer the microphone to Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, at which point O'Rourke approached the stage.  Only some of O'Rourke's words were audible, but he was pointing aggressively at the stage even as those on it shouted him down. 
- 
There must be a special place for someone who would politicize a meeting focused on the initial reporting of the identities of 19-children and 2-teachers killed in the Horrific Texas School Shooting. 
How many votes will O'Rourke get from this?

Georgians demonstrated their confidence in the state’s election integrity and ease of voting by showing up in record numbers during three weeks of early voting for the 2022 primary. 
Short lines, smooth easy ballot access, and confidence in ballot security brought out more than 850,000 to cast a ballot in person or return an absentee ballot. Compared early-voting turnout in recent primaries, this represented a 168 percent increase over the 2018, the last gubernatorial primary and a 212 percent jump above 2020, the last presidential primary year.

https://www.politico.com/news/2022/05/23/bidens-taiwan-defense-pledge-inflames-u-s-china-relations-00034588 
The president’s “strategic ambiguity” backtrack may hasten Taiwan Strait conflict, observers say. 
The White House moved swiftly to clarify President Joe Biden’s comments, but his assertion Monday that the U.S. will militarily defend Taiwan in the event of a Chinese invasion attempt may actually pave the way to conflict in the Taiwan Strait. 
It’s the second time since October that aides have had to walk back Biden’s comments that appear to reverse the longtime policy of “strategic ambiguity” regarding U.S. willingness to defend Taiwan.

US guidance counselors association advocates for schools to keep students' gender transition secret from parents 
https://thepostmillennial.com/us-guidance-counselors-association-advocates-for-schools-to-keep-students-gender-transition-secret-from-parents?utm_campaign=64487 
The ASCA backs the creation of Gender and Sexuality Alliance programs, which many say do little more than groom students into a trans or non-binary identity. 
Hundreds upon hundreds of school districts across the country have adopted guidelines as to how educators should handle gender identity revelations by students that state unequivocally that trans-identifying or trans-exploring students should be affirmed. The guidelines go on to say that where necessary, the students' exploration and schools' subsequent affirmation should be kept secret from parents and guardians.

Whose Children Are They Anyway? 
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2022/04/whose-children-are-they-anyway.html 
There is a vast gap between teaching our children the tools they need to successfully contribute to our society and their own well-being --- vs. --- indoctrinating and brain-washing them with left-wing and 'progressive' political propaganda.

Texas Supreme Court Rules Child Gender Transitions Can Be Investigated As Child Abuse 
https://www.dailywire.com/news/texas-supreme-court-rules-child-gender-transitions-can-be-investigated-at-child-abuse 
In February, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) directed family protective agencies to begin investigating child gender transition treatments as child abuse. Last week, the Texas state Supreme Court ruled that those investigations may continue, but they won’t be compulsory.   
Abbott pointed out that Texas law has mandated reporting standards for professionals like doctors, teachers, and nurses, so this directive made it mandatory for those professionals to report the parents of children who are, as he put it, “subjected to these abusive gender-transitioning procedures.” He also said other state agencies have to investigate licensed facilities where such procedures are thought to occur.

WSJ:  Hillary Clinton Did It 
https://www.wsj.com/articles/hillary-clinton-did-it-robby-mook-michael-sussmann-donald-trump-russia-collusion-alfa-bank-11653084709?mod=hp_opin_pos_3 
Her 2016 campaign manager says she approved a plan to plant a false Russia claim with a reporter.
 The Russia-Trump collusion narrative of 2016 and beyond was a dirty trick for the ages, and now we know it came from the top—candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton. That was the testimony Friday by 2016 Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook in federal court, and while this news is hardly a surprise, it’s still bracing to find her fingerprints on the political weapon. 
(Hopefully Robby has adequate life-insurance for his family’s future)

Biden Raid On Critical Strategic Petroleum Reserve Leaves Lowest Level In 35 Years

https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-raid-on-critical-strategic-petroleum-reserve-leaves-lowest-level-in-35-years 
Regarding the depletion of the SPR, James Taylor, President of The Heartland Institute, snapped, “Joe Biden has dangerously sacrificed America’s long-term national security in exchange for a very slight, short-lived mitigation of his inflationary energy prices. Now, just a month later, gasoline prices are higher than ever, and our national energy security is in more danger than ever.” 
“By draining the SPR and discouraging more oil production, Joe Biden is endangering our national security,” declared Steve Milloy, former Trump/Pence EPA Transition Team Member.

Cheap credit and political subsidies led startups to let their ambitions get ahead of market realities. 
A parade of electric-vehicle startups have gone public in recent years and commanded multibillion-dollar valuations—Rivian, Nikola, Canoo, Lordstown, Fisker, Workhorse Group, Mullen Automotive and Lucid. Most had never sold a single car at their public debut. Fueled by cheap credit and political subsidies, their stocks surged, only to crash. Their ambitions were ahead of reality.

Youngkin administration report finds 'alarming' trends in Virginia's K-12 performance 
https://roanoke.com/news/state-and-regional/youngkin-administration-report-finds-alarming-trends-in-virginias-k-12-performance/article_2e6f32bb-878b-5d05-b900-9b6ce2b41860.html#tracking-source=most-popular-homepage 
Virginia's K-12 school performance is backsliding due to reduced expectations for students and schools and a lack of transparency, resulting in widening achievement gaps, according to a critical new assessment from Virginia's superintendent of public instruction. 
The report finds that Virginia's public school closures during COVID-19 exacerbated existing declines in student achievement, with the most "devastating" learning loss affecting Black and Hispanic students and students living in poverty. 
The report says Virginia must arrest and reverse an "alarming trajectory" in reading and literacy, mathematics and in preparedness for kindergarten.

      The Latest Horrific Buffalo Massacre
		
          -
A mentally ill white male psychopath with past declarations of violent intent, somehow got past the federal gun laws and checks, obtained a rifle and targeted and attacked and killed primarily black grocery shoppers in Buffalo. 
https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/18/us/buffalo-supermarket-shooting-wednesday/index.html 
- 
- 
Unfortunately Biden’s visit to Buffalo to console the community was secondary to his divisive political diatribe directed against his ‘political enemies’ 
These tragic deaths are not indicative of the views and actions of White-Americans or Republican-Americans.
 This was solely the actions of a lone mentally ill psychopath who somehow got through the gun law screens.

Sadly, this horrific loss of innocent lives comes in addition to a massive ongoing loss of violent crime victims in Buffalo.  Dec 28, 2021 
Surge in gun violence disproportionately hits Buffalo's Black residents

Through the end of August, 2021:   217 people have either been injured or killed in a shooting in the city, according Buffalo Police Department data. That's 82% higher than over the same period in 2019, according to a Buffalo News analysis of the data. It's also about 35% higher than the average over that eight-month period from 2015 through last year, according to The News' analysis. 
At least 85% of people shot so far this year in Buffalo were Black, according to the latest data released by the Buffalo Police Department. 
About 37% of Buffalo's population is Black, according to Census Bureau estimates.

Bowers: Gun violence apprehension needed in Roanoke 
https://roanoke.com/opinion/commentary/bowers-gun-violence-apprehension-needed-in-roanoke/article_a28428fa-d08d-11ec-a422-7f42ca2b08ad.html 
I suggest that, in addition to long-range “gun violence prevention,” Roanoke’s government should immediately implement “gun violence apprehension” as a short-term goal. We need more police on patrol now … more detectives in the neighborhoods now … more undercover agents infiltrating local gangs now. Let’s lock up these violent criminals now! Staffing the department is at issue. 
We can’t do this with a police department one-fourth down by 59 officers. Our city council hasn’t taken a leadership role in addressing the immediate need of “gun violence apprehension” which would impact daily life in Roanoke’s neighborhoods now!

Musk also warned that if US ignores 'obvious' cause of inflation, it could end up like Venezuela 
https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/elon-musk-biden-real-president-teleprompter 
Musk, who said he has voted "overwhelmingly for Democrats," slammed the Democratic Party and Biden in particular. He suggested that Biden is something of an empty suit.  
"The real president is whoever controls the teleprompter," the Tesla CEO said. "The path to power is the path to the teleprompter." 
"I do feel like if somebody were to accidentally lean on the teleprompter, it's going to be like Anchorman," the CEO added, referencing the 2004 film in which Ron Burgundy reads whatever is written on the teleprompter, even if it would ruin his career.

https://nypost.com/2022/05/16/jeff-bezos-hits-biden-on-inflation-claims-manchin-saved-white-house/ 
The White House and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos traded barbs on Monday after the billionaire criticized the administration’s economic policies for fueling record-high inflation and a Biden spokesman goaded the tech titan by suggesting the slam was based in self-interest.  
“The newly created Disinformation Board should review this tweet, or maybe they need to form a new Non Sequitur Board instead,” Bezos tweeted. “Raising corp taxes is fine to discuss. Taming inflation is critical to discuss. Mushing them together is just misdirection.”

“Though this particular collapse is not a major concern, events like it are becoming more common 
(be afraid -- be very afraid)
The consequences of the Conger ice shelf collapse are unlikely to be of global significance as the catchment area feeding ice into the former shelf is small. And due to its shape, the Conger ice shelf was most likely not a significant buttress to the flow of ice upstream.”

“Trying to scare federal judges into ruling a certain way is far outside the bounds of normal First Amendment speech or protest,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said before the vote, according to ABC. 
- 
- 
The Senate Democrats are supporting a redundant law to protect the Courts from insurrectionists. 
There already are the necessary laws but the Biden DOJ is refusing to enforce those laws, so this redundant law-maneuver is a cover-up and diversion for more blatant lack of Biden law enforcement for LeftWing malfeasance.

School district files 'sexual harassment' complaint against 3 middle school students for using the wrong pronouns 
https://thepostmillennial.com/school-district-files-sexual-harassment-complaint-against-3-middle-school-students-for-using-the-wrong-pronouns?utm_campaign=64487 
"The mere use of biologically correct pronouns does not constitute sexual harassment under Title IX or the District’s own policy, it is also speech protected by the First Amendment." 
- 
A Wisconsin school district has lodged a Title IX complaint against three middle school students for allegedly using the wrong pronouns while addressing another student. 
- 
In a letter from Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty attorneys, who are defending the accused students, called the Title IX complaint "inappropriate," and urged the case to be "immediately dismissed." 
"The mere use of biologically correct pronouns not only does not constitute sexual harassment under Title IX or the District’s own policy, it is also speech protected by the First Amendment," the May 12 letter to the school superintendent, counselor, and principal read.

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/spencerbrown/2022/05/11/senator-kennedy-nothing-is-built-nothing-is-back-nothing-is-better-n2607047 
"I don't mean to be uncharitable but sometimes I think President Biden just doesn't eat enough fiber," U.S. Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) told Jess 
-
"After 14 months, we know that President Biden believes in bigger government, higher taxes, more spending, more debt, more regulation, a weaker military, open borders, taxpayer-funded abortion-on-demand, and turning cops into social workers," Kennedy said, recapping the Biden administration's agenda.
 "His energy policy — here's his energy policy — wind, solar, and wishful thinking." 
-
"The American people see this — they see that after 14 months, nothing is built, nothing is back, and nothing is better — and that's why when you poll it, the American people say the country is headed in the wrong direction," Kennedy added. "The president, he has no self-awareness, or at least the people around him won't allow him to have self-awareness about the real problem."

Biden is following Andrew Cuomo’s example, with predictable results. 
- 
  - 
  
-
- 
The Biden administration blames the energy crisis on Vladimir Putin and America’s energy producers. In reality, it’s the result of a failed approach that pursues unattainable green-energy goals instead of realistic ones. If this approach continues, costs will keep skyrocketing while dependence on foreign sources increases. 
- 
Mr. Cuomo also halted the construction of numerous interstate gas pipelines and closed the Indian Point nuclear plant, all while failing to provide an achievable path for sustainable energy production. New York continues to consume vast amounts of natural gas, but we have to import it, often at higher cost. 
- 
Mr. Cuomo has moved on – but his bad decisions linger on!

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Monday lauded protesters expressing "righteous anger" in the wake of a leaked Supreme Court draft opinion that shows the court may be poised to overturn Roe v. Wade.  
"While we have seen and heard extraordinary anguish in our communities," Pelosi, D-Calif., said, "we have been moved by how so many have channeled their righteous anger into meaningful action: planning to march and mobilize to make their voices heard."

The Federal Reserve…. the central bank injected some $5 trillion into the economy over the past two years—driving its balance sheet to $9 trillion even as huge swaths of the global economy were shut down by governments during the pandemic.

In the meantime, as Americans struggle with higher and higher prices, we can only hope more people realize an important truth: locking down Americans and printing trillions was an act of insanity. 
And perhaps the idea of "quitting" fossil fuels is a little bit premature.
