I should add that the result of this tactic will be to weaken the conservative elements within the conference.


It appears that Speaker Johnson was right. Moscow Marge and Massie seem to be more interested in complaining than doing their job. They are weakening the conservative elements and may cost the GOP their majority control of the House. It seems like they prefer to be in the minority.

House lawmakers push back against Pentagon submarine build rate

House lawmakers from both sides of the aisle are pushing back against the Pentagon's proposal to fund the procurement of just one Virginia-class attack submarine in fiscal 2025 instead of two.

Rep. Joe Courtney, D-Conn., Rob Wittman, R-Va., and 118 other lawmakers made the case in a May 1 letter to the chamber's top defense appropriators as Congress drafts its FY25 defense budget.
 
"Preserving a consistent production schedule is essential for shipyard and industrial base stability, and to meet the Navy's operational requirements," the lawmakers wrote in a letter to Defense Appropriations Chairman Ken Calvert, R-Calif., and Rep. Betty McCollum, D-Minn., the panel's top Democrat.

"This is exactly why Congress has strongly supported and defended the consistent two-per-year build rate of Virginia-class attack submarines since 2011."

Antifa has seized control of the Portland State University library. The universities cultivated the precise environment for this to happen. Let them own the pro-Hamas Left.

As if they would know what to do with the contents of a library.  Like the brown shirts from the 1920s, I’m sure they’re tempted to burn the books.

Your Wasted Salad Greens Are Contributing to Climate Change

Food waste – uneaten scraps or leftovers sent to landfills – is responsible for 10% of global emissions. Mill, a new product from the co-founder of Nest, thinks technology can play a role in eliminating it.

I have adopted a “it’s all in God’s hands” approach to this election when it comes to the presidential election.




I have done the same. This is too big for us mere mortals to repair.

recognize the medical uses of cannabis and acknowledge it has less potential for abuse than some of the nation’s most dangerous drugs.
I'm not sure either of these characterizations is true. I have yet to see scientific evidence of its medicinal value, though I'd certainly read it if I ever saw it. I'm trying to keep an open mind.

That's too bad, so sad. Incarcerate them. The students who are US citizens should spend some time in the hoose-gow as well. The students that aren't citizens should be deported. The universities should change their policies and make them "No Protest Zones". There is an absolute right to protest...but not on school grounds where many different people pay to attend.

From a parent's stand point, I would talk to my child and make sure that they understand what they are actually protesting. If they do and persist, that's fine. I will no longer subsidize you. If you choose to do this it will be on your dime not mine. I am paying for you to get an education and you evidently aren't.
Incarcerate? How many of them proclaimed themselves to be terrorist? Revoke whatever visas or green cards and send them back to whatever shithole they came here from, I suggest Gaza since they are so enamored of Hamas who by the way is in need of cannon fodder. For any that proclaim themselves members of Hamas or any other terrorist organization, if American citizens I think there should be a penalty of citizenship revoked and free trip to the home of their chosen terrorists.
