Windmills to the rescue, says the Biden administration with this recent press release:
Isn’t this the most beautiful thing you’ve ever laid eyes on? Coming to a sandy beach near you. Just 140 million more homes to power up.
And if these windmills don’t save the planet, how about this gorgeous field of dreams:
Who would have thought that it would be the environmental left that would be advocating the industrialization of the American landscape? Windmills and solar panels take up about 10 to 100 times more land than a nuclear power or coal plant or gas plant.
2) Even Liberals Admit Big Problems With Mail-in Voting
My how the worm has turned. In the 2020 presidential election, anyone who dared warn of the integrity of mail-in ballots or illegal ballot harvesting was dismissed as a conspiracy theorist or an enemy of democracy.
Now many Democrats are expressing alarm over vote-by-mail Postal Service delays and even ballot harvesting.
Senator Gary Peters, the Michigan Democrat who chairs the Governmental Affairs Committee, has written Postmaster General Louis DeJoy complaining that he has “significant concerns including the potential for degraded rural service due to fewer facilities, delayed delivery of election mail that would be processed at out-of-state facilities, and lack of transparency.”
The voter registrar in Richmond, Virginia warned voters to avoid the US Post Service and drop off early-voting ballots in person: “The reports we’ve been receiving about delayed, misplaced, or even missing mail are deeply troubling.”
In Connecticut, Democratic Secretary of State Stephanie Thomas advised voters to cast their ballots in person after the Bridgeport mayor’s race was declared fraudulent due to illegal ballot harvesting.
Last year, in a Wisconsin lawsuit to overturn a Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling that found ballot drop boxes are illegal, a leading liberal election law firm even admitted that U.S. Postal Service mailboxes are in fact “unsecured.”
As our CTUP election integrity expert John Fund has pointed out: “It used to be that concerns over mail-in ballots were widespread and bipartisan.” In 2005, the bipartisan Commission on Federal Election Reform – which was chaired by former President Jimmy Carter and former Secretary of State James Baker – overwhelmingly concluded that “vote by mail” did little to improve voter turnout but “is, however, likely to increase the risks of fraud and of contested elections….”
Vote-by-mail rules were ostensibly changed in 2020 due to COVID. For an honest election this year and going forward, it’s imperative that voters aren’t permitted to cast ballots outside the scrutiny of election officials.
3) Biden Finally Ended His Mask Mandates on Friday
Better late than never? It only came about 1,000 days late, but Biden's federal mask mandates were finally lifted last week.
Some federal facilities imposed mandatory masking as recently as January based on a standing Biden order that triggered a mandate whenever some arbitrary CDC metric was exceeded (usually due to a data error) in a given county. The administration was still appealing the decision that struck down its airplane/mass transit mandate.
We join our friend Jay Bhattacharya in saluting the brave judge who ended mandatory masks on airplanes, two years before Old Joe finally gave up:
CTUP co-founder Steve Forbes exposes Biden's threat to seize patents and compulsory-license them to competitors whenever the government thinks a drug or technology company is charging too much:
Congress passed the bipartisan Bayh-Dole Act over 40 years ago. The legislation’s primary intent was to enable universities, nonprofit institutions and small enterprises to collaborate with private-sector investors, experts and entrepreneurs to further develop and commercialize research that had been initiated or funded in part or wholly by federal grants and loans. It has been a resounding success, adding trillions of dollars to our GDP and generating millions of American jobs...
But now destructive danger lurks. To pacify misinformed leftist influencers during an election year, President Biden is proposing to weaken Bayh-Dole. He wants to give Washington politicians and bureaucrats the authority to “march in” and take control of patents on technologies that they decide are not being commercialized as they see fit...
The scenarios for the ways in which President Biden’s scheme would wreak havoc could go on forever. China, Russia and other global competitors would be the ultimate winners.
