Solar Energy Is Hurting The Environment

Did you know solar panels can actually have a negative impact on the environment? The land that they use for solar energy greatly reduces the available land for agriculture, which will send produce prices up.


The land lost every year to solar is miniscule to the amount lost to housing developments, new factory construction, industry and roads.  2000 acres EVERY day are lost to industry. Much of our farmland is not even planted each year.

Same argument about windmills killing birds=250-300k birds per killed year when cats , cars, windows, high tension lines etc kill 5-6 billion birds each year.

Much of new solar is over parking lots, rooftops, out in the desert etc.

US crop production grows almost every year even with less and less farmland every year.

Even CNN admits Stormy Daniels’ testimony is flopping

A CNN panel of political analysts discussing the testimony of porn actress Stormy Daniels against former president Donald Trump highlights what a circus the lawsuit is, as Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg watched his star witness go down in flames.

“There have been a couple times where she seems to be cracking a joke, trying to get a reaction from the jury, and our reporters in the room have noted that the jury hasn’t seemed to respond,” said Kaitlan Collins as another host agreed. “No they’re taking their job seriously,” Jake Tapper replied.


Attorney Elie Honig sounded embarrassed for Daniels. “Humor is risky in the courtroom, especially if you go in with lines… If something happened spontaneously — if an easel falls over — people will laugh. They’re human. But it’s never gonna work if you go in there like ‘I’m going to amuse the jury and say this clever thing,’” he said.

Trump responds to judge who threatened to toss him in jail over gag order: 'Give me liberty or give me death'
Judge Merchan said Monday that he will consider jail time for Trump, should he continue to violate a gag order

Former President Trump took to social media on Wednesday with an unequivocal claim that keeping and expressing his constitutional rights were of the utmost importance to him, despite any penalty he could face amid a gag order imposed by a New York judge.

"Give me liberty or give me death," he wrote in an all-caps message on TRUTH Social, quoting the American Founding Father Patrick Henry.

The comment comes as Judge Juan Merchan said on Monday that he will consider jail time for Trump, should he continue to violate a gag order imposed upon him in his ongoing criminal trial.

"It is a really bad feeling to have your Constitutional Right to Free Speech, such a big part of life in our Country, so unfairly taken from you, especially when all of the sleazebags, lowlifes, and grifters that you oppose are allowed to say absolutely anything that they want," Trump’s post continued. "It is hard to sit back and listen to lies and false statements be made against you knowing that if you respond, even in the most modest fashion, you are told by a Corrupt and Highly Conflicted Judge that you will be put in prison, maybe for a long period of time."

Why do Arabs take Israelis as hostages? Because Israel is a Western Nation and loves its people.
Why do Israelis NOT take hostages? Because the brutal barbarian Hamas Arabs do not care. Shoot them all, we don't give a shit.

Um, wasn't it the House Republicans who voted to make Johnson Speaker?  Once again, House Republicans are foiled by themselves.

Pretty much every time they get the majority.  Name a Republican Speaker that was worth a crap.  Gingrich came closer than normal to a conservative, before he flamed out in disgrace with Helmet Head with the crazy eyes.  Even he caved to Clinton before 1995 was out.

I think Merchan knows, despite being all but blinded by Trump-Hate, that putting Trump in jail or under house arrest would benefit Trump in November. And Trump has been trolling Merchan on that.

So what?  Words, just words.  There isn't enough spine in all the republicans in congress to make anything of it. **nononono*

Biden’s Attorney General, Merrick Garland, To Be Held in Contempt.

The House Judiciary Committee is preparing a resolution to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress due to the Justice Department’s refusal to release Joe Biden’s audio-recorded interview with special counsel Robert Hur, according to a source familiar with the committee’s agenda.Last year, Hur interviewed Biden over allegations of mishandling classified documents. Despite Hur’s ultimate decision not to press charges, his final report portrayed Biden as an “elderly man with poor memory” — a characterization that provoked upset among Biden’s supporters and allies.
 
For months, House Republicans have demanded the audio of the discussion, arguing that the testimonial itself could unveil more about Hur’s conclusions regarding Biden’s mental faculties. However, DOJ officials counter that the Republicans have yet to justify their request for the audio, noting that a complete interview transcript has already been shared.
