The coal cartel is lying to the courts.

THERE IS NO ENERGY DEFICIT in the USA to continue Republican scorched Earth policies!

Look. The Republicans have done absolutely NOTHING to gather information about carbon sequestration or extracting greenhouse gases from the troposphere to complain against NEW RULES by the EPA that are based in facts since God made little green apples.

I do mean NOTHING, like in DECADES of NOTHING!

And now at the eleventh hour and trying to make campaign fodder to extract money from

the coal cartels the Republicans actually think they have a reason to create greater danger for the citizens of the USA?

Well. After decades of studying the problem if the court throws this to the coal industry then the Roberts’ Court is so corrupt it can’t be trusted or helped anymore.

These exports were passed into law by Republican majorities. Don’t tell me they don’t know they exist.

The epitome of purposeful dysfunction.

Didn’t the Roberts’ Court just publish new ethical standards and regulations in the Federal Register?

It took 4 and a half years for this court to finally issue a new code of conduct (click here). I am fairly certain it had to be published in the Federal Register as new law, too. If it wasn’t, it should have been. The Supreme Court Code of Conduct is an official USA federal standard and needs to be recorded as such.

I read earlier the January 6th Committee is still taking testimony and that is a good thing, especially for Clarence’s wife, Ginny. It would seem she went before the committee and committed perjury.

She stated there are known errors that occurred in the election of 2020.

Really? And, of course, the errors were so voluminous it through the election to the wrong man, right, Ginny?

We know there was some ballot manipulation in North Carolina by a man that would offer to

help the elderly and handicapped by walking their ballots to be deposited in an awaiting ballot box or office or whatever he was calling an official drop off location. We know along the way he would change the ballot and then submit it to be counted. We know about that one. It didn’t amount to a hill of beans difference.

Now, unless Ginny has an earthshaking reality, other than her own; she should return to the committee, apologize to the American people, President Biden, the January 6th committee, perhaps her own lawyer (who of course would never approve perjury for his client) and get the testimony straightened out where she said the presidential election went to the wrong man.

That is good advice, Ginny, and it is free.

But, in this case it would seem as though Justice Kahan has insight to the lack of enforcement clarity of the new standards. Are all the conservative justices sleep walking through life?

A military commission

President Biden has protected the military repeatedly during his time in office where he could. He has honored their service. 

We watched for many months a profound lack of respect for our military when Senator Tuberville placed a hold on promotions, not because there were bad choices, but as a protest against women’s health. 

President Biden during his many months left in office should establish a military commission to examine the damage this caused to our military and find a better process for promotions.

The U.S. Army starts congressional review of promotions just above the level of Warrant Officer. This is crazy. The US Army is the largest branch of the military responsible for continuing the stability of the victories of the other branches. Relying on Congress to protect the U.S. Army promotional status is ridiculous. We trust these people with our country and our lives. We can trust the military with their own promotions. They have their own legal system that can address unfairness in promotions and any record fraud. There is nothing to mistrust. 

Do Americans know how many military promotions were disrespected by Tuberville? A lot. It was imperiling our military. At the very least anyone who left the service because of this should be invited back, with back pay.

If anyone thinks simply adding a requirement for two Senators as needed to stop promotions will solve the problem as a sufficient enough measure, think again. How partisan is this Congress and how extreme is the Tuberville side of the aisle. Tuberville is a couch (AI blooper) (besides a couch potato of a Senator, he was also a coach). He must know the importance of player esteem and team work. Being appreciated for their military service is vital to maintain a lifetime commitment to it.

I sincerely believe promotions should be housed within the branches of service with the exception of the appointment to the Joint Chiefs.

A military commission is more than appropriate. Not only that but the commission should be granted the power to implement the changes without delay (including back pay, which needs to be supplemented in the next congressional budget) or approval of Congress and only a public report of the commission’s process and decision. I think it is vital for the American public to understand how close they came to real danger to our national security. The military should write openly and with complete immunity to any backlash against the commission members for their truthfulness and decisions.

Surfs up!

The Paris Olympics are fantastic as only Paris can do it. This is just one more beautiful detail. Even the rain was romantic.
