Biden energy policy could lead to energy grid blackouts this summer
Breitbart: Summer heat, shuttered power plants, and a clogged supply chain are creating a strain on the U.S electric grid, which regulators say could mean blackouts from the Great Lakes to the west coast over the summer. This is according to the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), a regulatory body that monitors electric grid stability. “It’s a pretty sobering report, and it’s clear the risks are spreading,” John Moura, director of reliability assessment and performance analysis, said in a press briefing, calling it “our most cautionary tale.” Bloomberg claim... read more

When Do We Call Russia’s Atrocities a Genocide?
A mass grave in Bucha, Ukraine. (Adam Schreck, https://flic.kr/p/2ncK3UL; CC BY 2.0, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/) Raphael Lemkin, the man who coined the term “genocide,” and his relentless pursuit of justice for victims of the crime have had a profound impact on me. Like him, I, as an Uyghur lawyer, have had to find every strength to live with the constant agony of losing my brother Ekpar Asat to genocide and seeking accountability for their suffering. Russia’s war in Ukraine haunts me as I witness new atrocities unfold every day, while victims of other ongoing at... read more

Trump Of The North
In his quest for the leadership of the Conservative Party, Pierre Poilievre is following Donald Trump's playbook. Susan Delacourt writes: Show him an institution and Poilievre will knock it down — the Bank of Canada, the media, anyone deemed a “gatekeeper,” or the World Economic Forum. He doesn’t just disagree with his opponents, he calls them liars. At the risk of giving the “freedom” candidate any more ideas, it should be noted that there is one institution Poilievre hasn’t directly challenged, at least not yet — democracy itself. But if Poilievre is going to go full Donald Trum... read more

Shrink wrapping $40 BILLION
Why? $40 BILLION pissed down the rat hole, forever gone to the MIC and other selected crooks with their greedy hands out, lined up by the shrink-wrapped pallets, loaded with America's past and future. While back home folks can't afford medical care, rising rents, food prices, heat for their homes, and growing potholes in roads that lead to worn-out bridges. But the Dems have a plan, what ever it might be? It certainly ain't for us. What happened to the 'squad' which was going to DC to shake things up for the folks back home? Been there, done that....

Texas leaves school board group that wanted DOJ to target parents
Daily Caller: The Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) announced it was leaving the National School Boards Association (NSBA) on Monday over a review of a letter from the organization that suggested the federal government investigate parents as potential domestic terrorists.

Biden coverup of Afghan debacle
Washington Free Beacon: The Biden administration is illegally withholding information about its bungled withdrawal from Afghanistan, including information that could show senior U.S. officials knew prior to the withdrawal that the Taliban would quickly rise to power and trap scores of Americans, according to a nonpartisan advocacy group focused on U.S. national security issues. The Center to Advance Security in America (CASA) is petitioning a district court in Washington, D.C., to force the State Department to release communications records related to the 2021 Afghanistan evacuat... read more

Biden's unpopular transition on fuel cost
Fox News: Americans in the Garden State sounded off on gas prices after President Biden said the surging costs are part of "an incredible transition." "I don’t believe a word he says," one woman, Theresa, told Fox News. "He’s been in the business for 40-something years and hasn’t done too much." "Start drilling again. Do something," she continued. "We can't be the only ones trying to save the world. If we're getting our oil from somewhere let it be right here at home." Gas prices repeatedly reached record highs in the last few months, including on Tuesday, when the national aver... read more

Masculinity, explained by WWE
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, right, takes on John Cena at the 2012 edition of WWE’s WrestleMania. Both men started out as wrestlers and have become huge movie stars. | Ron Elkman/Sports Imagery/Getty Images An expert tells us how professional wrestling endlessly evolves to reflect changing masculine gender norms.

The plant-based future of food doesn’t always taste that great
[image: A pixelated drawing of a hamburger.] Plant-based meat, milk, and egg products have come a long way in the last decade, but they still have a ways to go to make a dent in conventional animal product sales. | Getty Images/iStockphoto What I’ve learned from four months of vegan food samples. I cover the plant-based food industry for Vox, so I get a lot of free food samples. A lot. Some of the products that startups mail me are delicious, many are just okay, and a few have been downright awful, bad enough to make me wonder out loud, “Why are they letting people eat this stuff?... read more

Russians continue to shrink their objectives in Ukraine
ISW: Russian forces have likely abandoned efforts to complete a single large encirclement of Ukrainian forces in eastern Ukraine and are instead attempting to secure smaller encirclements—enabling them to make incremental measured gains. Russian forces are likely attempting to achieve several simultaneous encirclements of small pockets of Ukrainian forces in Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts: the broader Severodonetsk area (including Rubizhne and Lysychansk), Bakhmut-Lysychansk, around Zolote (just northeast of Popasna), and around Ukrainian fortifications in Avdiivka.
