Roanoke’s LogPerch Flooding Abomination
-
Roanoke Times tries again to paint-over the extensive abuse of the so called “endangered species act” and the massive past and ongoing damage and expense it has done to Roanoke and its residences and businesses.
-
-
Why the Roanoke logperch is now off the endangered species list
https://roanoke.com/news/local/government-politics/article_91645f5d-5b23-4b48-935a-bfde2cf1b120.html
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said the large freshwater darter, which grows to between 3 and 6 inches long in adulthood, is no longer at risk of extinction.
-
(Reality: they were never at ‘risk of extinction’ and even if they were, aren’t we all!)
-
-
The SnailDarter and the LogPerch are now both OFF the ‘endangered species act list’. A law invented by radical-environmentalists hell-bent to stop any activity they did not endorse.
The Roanoke River flood control project was such an activity and the act was used to convert ‘flood control’ into ‘river bank beautification’!
After spending $80-Million dollars of tax-payer funding, Roanoke is just as subject to flooding as when it was Big Lick.
The ongoing effort now is to use more tax-payer money to relocate residents, buy and demolish homes and businesses and lay fallow the flood-prone land.

In addition to city taxes and fees residents are paying big increases in flood insurance.
This is another prime example of major government malfeasance cloaked in the name of conservation do-gooding and aided-and-abated by the PravdaMedia.

You Want Transparency? I'll Give You Transparency!
-
The Democrats and their PravdaMedia tried again to make an issue out of the Epstein sex scandal implying a Trump cover-up.
Trump responded by directing that the entire Grand Jury files be made public.
Dems: Whoa! That’s Not OK! Can’t-Shouldn’t Do That! Stop!
However much Trump may be embarrassed by the revelations; It’s likely that the Democrats, starting with Clintons’ frequent-flyer trips to visit the girls on the Epstein Island, will be far more ‘tared-and-feathered’ than Trump!

Consumer sentiment collapsed. The S&P 500 stock index fell by 19% between February and April. The world held its breath and waited for the bottom to drop out.

Consumer sentiment collapsed. The S&P 500 stock index fell by 19% between February and April. The world held its breath and waited for the bottom to drop out.
-
But that didn’t happen. Now businesses and consumers are regaining their swagger, and evidence is mounting that those who held back are starting to splurge again.
-
The stock market is reaching record highs. The University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment index, which tumbled in April to its lowest reading in almost three years, has begun climbing again. Retail sales are up more than economists had forecast, and sky-high inflation hasn’t materialized—at least not yet.
“We’ve been surprised again and again by consumers,” said Jonathan Millar, senior U.S. economist at Barclays. In April, Millar predicted that the U.S. economy would likely go into recession this year. He now expects it to keep growing, albeit at a slow pace.

Renewable Self-Inflected Power Shortages
-
The Real Risk to the Electric Grid
Power shortages are coming thanks to wind and solar subsidies. Here’s how they distort energy investment.
https://www.wsj.com/opinion/the-real-risk-to-the-energy-grid-wind-solar-power-data-shortage-c297e93b?gaa_at=eafs&gaa_n=ASWzDAgHbTDTCW2L-mxK6W6DXyhz0uCqpQ3Ow2OANti1_euD43dhIjkSrXk0fiC0YIs%3D&gaa_ts=687ed3c2&gaa_sig=o0-D_5dFPhLzuWj8_0ToaQU7kTjEIU0mWAI2MsT2OMxc52tAHwjoyGbVJmRcFfaXe6-B8Ya64UsoANat5jgxtw%3D%3D
-
Democrats are attacking the GOP’s budget bill for phasing out subsidies for wind and solar power, claiming this will cause power shortages and higher electric rates. The evidence suggests the opposite, as a new Energy Department study illustrates.
As we’ve been writing for years, the reliability of the U.S. electrical grid is in trouble. The Energy report projects potential power shortfalls in 2030, as 104 gigawatts of baseload power retire in the next five years. But here’s the really bad news: That shortfalls will exist even if that production is replaced, as expected, with 209 gigawatts of the mostly solar and wind generation under development.
-
Americans would lose power in 2030 for an average of 817.7 hours (34 days), assuming typical weather conditions. If heat waves or storms stress the grid, outages could reach 55 days. Even without plant shutdowns, Americans would lose power for 269.9 hours (11 days) amid demand growth. The power shortages would be worse in middle America, where demand is growing fastest owing to AI data centers and renewables are displacing coal and gas.
-
How can this be? The answer is that the Inflation Reduction Act turbo-charged subsidies for wind and solar in ways that are distorting energy investment. Because the subsidies can offset more than 50% of a project’s cost, solar and wind became more profitable to build than new baseload gas plants. The credits enable wind and solar to under-price coal and gas plants in competitive power markets.
-
Any wonder that solar, wind and batteries (which also qualify for IRA subsidies) are projected to make up 93% of new utility-scale electricity capacity this year? Coal, nuclear and gas plants are still needed to back up solar and wind, but they can’t make a profit running only some of the time. Thus many have been closing, jeopardizing grid reliability.

Epstein’s Ghost Lives On
-
Like the ghost of Jacob Marley, Jeffery Epstein continues to stalk the news with a tenacious and salacious need for “more news”.
Those who clamer for “more news” may well regret what they ask for.

Epstein 1:
Trump orders release of grand jury transcripts from Epstein case
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/jul/17/trump-orders-release-epstein-grand-jury-transcripts/
President Trump said Thursday he has directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to release “any and all” relevant grand jury testimony in the case of deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Epstein 2:
Comey’s daughter demanded a federal judge seal Epstein files
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/jul/17/comeys-daughter-demanded-federal-judge-seal-epstein-files/
The daughter of former FBI Director James B. Comey persuaded a federal judge last year to block the public disclosure of a trove of government evidence against Jeffrey Epstein and his associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, keeping hidden much of what is now considered to be the “Epstein files.”

Epstein 3:
Trump says salacious Epstein letter attributed to him is ‘fake’ and plans lawsuit against WSJ
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/jul/17/trump-epstein-letter-wall-street-journal-attributed-fake-plans/
President Trump lashed out Thursday at the Wall Street Journal for publishing a letter he supposedly sent to disgraced late financier Jeffrey Epstein, calling the note a fake.

Epstein 4:
Democrat senators demand Pam Bondi release report on Epstein files
https://thepostmillennial.com/democrat-senators-demand-pam-bondi-release-report-on-epstein-files#google_vignette
Sens. Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) are pushing Attorney General Pam Bondi to provide a report on disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein after the fallout from a Department of Justice memo that said Epstein killed himself, there was no evidence he was blackmailing people, and that there was no incriminating "client list" of third parties to be prosecuted.

It was Jeffrey Epstein’s 50th birthday, and Ghislaine Maxwell was preparing a special gift to mark the occasion. She turned to Epstein’s family and friends. One of them was Donald Trump.
Maxwell collected letters from Trump and dozens of Epstein’s other associates for a 2003 birthday album, according to documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.

Like the ghost of Jacob Marley, Jeffery Epstein continues to stalk the news with a tenacious and salacious need for “more news”.
Those who clamer for “more news” may well regret what they ask for.

Sens. Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) are pushing Attorney General Pam Bondi to provide a report on disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein after the fallout from a Department of Justice memo that said Epstein killed himself, there was no evidence he was blackmailing people, and that there was no incriminating "client list" of third parties to be prosecuted.

Hiding BiPartisan Epstein Files

Following recent wildfires in Los Angeles, rebuilding efforts are underway, but the issuance of building permits is lagging. In unincorporated Los Angeles County, 1,207 rebuild applications have been received, but only 90 permits have been issued. The city of Los Angeles has issued 161 permits, according to a recent Instagram post. The process is hampered by debris removal, plan reviews, and other bureaucratic hurdles.

California lawmakers on Monday night rolled back one of the most stringent environmental laws in the country, after Gov. Gavin Newsom muscled through the effort in a dramatic move to combat the state’s affordability crisis.
-
The Democratic governor—widely viewed as a 2028 presidential contender—made passage of two bills addressing an acute housing shortage a condition of his signing the 2025-26 budget. A cornerstone of the legislation reins in the California Environmental Quality Act, which for more than a half-century has been used by opponents to block almost any kind of development project.
-
The abuses of the law have spread so widely that opponents used it to block some bicycle-lane expansions when Newsom served as San Francisco’s mayor, he said during a signing ceremony at the Sacramento capital. “We have seen this abuse over and over and over again,” the governor said. “We have fallen prey to a strategy of delay. As a result of that, we have too much demand chasing too little supply. This is not complicated, it is Econ 101.”

Zohran Mamdani ID’d himself as Asian and African American on Columbia application: report
https://nypost.com/2025/07/03/us-news/uganda-born-zohran-mamdani-idd-himself-as-asian-and-african-american-on-columbia-application-report/
Democratic socialist New York City mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani, a Muslim immigrant, identified as both Asian and African American on his Columbia University application, a report claims.

The 33-year-old checked both “Asian” and “Black or African American” on his application to the Ivy League university — which was ultimately rejected — when he was a high school senior in 2009, the New York Times reported Thursday.
-
Mamdani, born in Uganda, told the outlet he doesn’t identify as either race but rather “an American who was born in Africa.”

“It’s now clear that Zohran Mamdani misrepresented his racial identity to gain admission to Columbia University, and at the time, he wasn’t even a U.S. citizen,” Adams’ campaign spokesperson Todd Shapiro said in a statement,

When is a climate record Not a record?
It’s hot – it was hot in 1930 and 1952 too!
Not much CO2 back then! So, why was it as hot then as now given our current high CO2?
Why doesn’t the Goreites and the PravdaMedia point out these ‘facts’?

The Founding Father delegates of the Second Continental Congress declared that the Thirteen Colonies were no longer subject (and subordinate) to the monarch of Britain, King George III, and were now united, free, and independent states.[1] The Congress voted to approve independence by passing the Lee Resolution on July 2 and adopted the Declaration of Independence two days later, on July 4.[1]

Independence Day (United States) - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independence_Day_(United_States)
-
This was the object of the Declaration of Independence:
Not to find out new principles, or new arguments, never before thought of, not merely to say things which had never been said before; but to place before mankind the common sense of the subject, in terms so plain and firm as to command their assent, and to justify ourselves in the independent stand we are compelled to take." —Thomas Jefferson (1825)
-
-
The most amazing 17-days in June in the history of mankind!
“The celebration of the Declaration of Independence Drafted by Thomas Jefferson between June 11 and June 28, 1776, the Declaration of Independence is at once the nation's most cherished symbol of liberty and Jefferson's most enduring monument. Here, in exalted and unforgettable phrases, Jefferson expressed the convictions in the minds and hearts of the American people. The political philosophy of the Declaration was not new; its ideals of individual liberty had already been expressed by John Locke and the Continental philosophers. What Jefferson did was to summarize this philosophy in "self-evident truths" and set forth a list of grievances against the King in order to justify before the world the breaking of ties between the colonies and the mother country.”

WSJ: House Passes Trump’s Megabill in GOP Triumph
https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/trump-pushes-republicans-to-pass-stalled-megabill-dc84b7fc?mod=WSJ_home_mediumtopper_pos_1
-
The House narrowly passed Republicans’ sprawling tax-and-spending bill, delivering a major second-term victory for President Trump and again demonstrating his power to keep GOP lawmakers in line.
-
The 218-214 vote Thursday sends the measure to Trump’s desk, ahead of the July 4 target he set for Congress to finish the legislation that cuts taxes, boosts border security and lowers social safety-net spending. Trump and GOP leaders muscled the bill through the House after an all-night session, despite many lawmakers’ misgivings about the version the Senate passed 51-50 earlier this week.
-
“We are at the precipice of the new golden age of America,” said House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R., La.).
-
Working with exceptionally slim margins in the House and Senate, Republicans achieved a goal they had sought for nearly eight years by erasing the Dec. 31, 2025 expiration date from their 2017 tax cuts. Their bill indefinitely extends the higher standard deduction and child tax credits that benefit middle-income families along with tax-rate cuts, business deductions and estate-tax reductions that tilt toward upper-income households.
-
On top of that, they added temporary versions of Trump’s tax-cut priorities, creating new deductions for tipped workers, overtime pay, car-loan interest and senior citizens. They expanded the cap on the state and local tax deduction to at least $40,000 for five years, a measure that got a handful of blue-state House GOP lawmakers on board.

PravdaMedia $16-Million Penalty For Fake Electioneering
-
Paramount, CBS forced to pay eight figures, change editorial policy in settlement with President Trump
https://www.foxnews.com/media/paramount-global-settles-trumps-lawsuit-against-cbs-news-over-60-minutes-interview
Paramount Global and CBS agreed on Tuesday to pay President Donald Trump a sum that could reach north of $30 million to settle the president’s election interference lawsuit against the network.
-
Trump will receive $16 million upfront. This will cover legal fees, costs of the case, and contributions to his future presidential library or charitable causes, to be determined at Trump’s discretion.
-
The lawsuit alleged CBS News deceitfully edited an exchange Harris had with "60 Minutes" correspondent Bill Whitaker, who asked her why Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wasn't "listening" to the Biden administration. Harris was widely mocked for the "word salad" answer that aired in a preview clip of the interview on CBS' "Face the Nation."
-
However, when the same question aired during a primetime special on the network, Harris had a different, more concise response. Critics at the time accused CBS News of deceitfully editing Harris' "word salad" answer to shield the Democratic nominee from further backlash leading up to Election Day.

Paramount Global and CBS agreed on Tuesday to pay President Donald Trump a sum that could reach north of $30 million to settle the president’s election interference lawsuit against the network.

Trump will receive $16 million upfront. This will cover legal fees, costs of the case, and contributions to his future presidential library or charitable causes, to be determined at Trump’s discretion.

The lawsuit alleged CBS News deceitfully edited an exchange Harris had with "60 Minutes" correspondent Bill Whitaker, who asked her why Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wasn't "listening" to the Biden administration. Harris was widely mocked for the "word salad" answer that aired in a preview clip of the interview on CBS' "Face the Nation."

However, when the same question aired during a primetime special on the network, Harris had a different, more concise response. Critics at the time accused CBS News of deceitfully editing Harris' "word salad" answer to shield the Democratic nominee from further backlash leading up to Election Day.
