Let’s not mince words (click here) – the energy crisis in Texas is an unmitigated disaster on all fronts. Some 4.4 million people have been without power, heat, and running water for days and lack of the state grid’s preparation is to blame. Texas loves to brag about its energy independence and self-reliant electrical grid. But the events of the past week underscore that America’s largest energy producer is not as energy secure as once thought. About 90% of the Lone Star State is powered by a Texas-only power grid, but the current events strongly suggest that the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) should join a regional transmission organization to meet energy demands.
Texas’ energy island, compounded by a failure to weatherize renewable and thermal power sources, led to the worst energy crisis in the country since the Northeast Power Outage of 2003. So far 30 people have died and hundreds have been poisoned by carbon monoxide from generators in their house or by car exhaust, trying to stay warm. What’s worse, we failed to prepare the country for the expectable pandemic, and now we have also failed to prepare a large section of the country to cope with fully expectable weather conditions. These are massive failures of resilience our geopolitical enemies take very seriously.
Climate change is empirically leading to more frequent and more extreme weather events on both sides of the thermometer – this is a fundamental reality. At the same time, America’s energy infrastructure has grown increasingly fragile, with vulnerabilities put on display over the years in California, New York, and now Texas....

Why is USA Today quoting "InfoWars?"
I was following the tragedy in Texas and Oklahoma. I would have been posting to the internet if there was a US DOE obstructing energy to Texas. What I read in reports at the time was that both Texas authorities and the US DOE were pushing ERCOT to produce as much energy as possible. The energy conglomerate didn't have the capacity regardless of emissions.
I was very, very surprised to see an earlier report by USA Today that quoted Infowars. USA Today has since updated the report to reflect the truth. Infowars is part of the problem in the media, not a solution to the country's vast misinformation under Trump.
Infowars globbed onto this letter (click here). It was signed and put into effect on the evening of February 14th. Unfortunately, the storm began hours after this letter was issued.
One of the priorities of the Biden Administration is to bring an end to adverse environmental conditions of minority communities. So, any emissions by energy companies are going to be reviewed by this administration. The letter is specific and allowed time to answer it's questions.

Austin -The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) (click here) entered emergency conditions and initiated rotating outages at 1:25 a.m. today.
About 10,500 MW of customer load was shed at the highest point. This is enough power to serve approximately two million homes.
Extreme weather conditions caused many generating units – across fuel types – to trip offline and become unavailable.
There is now over 30,000 MW of generation forced off the system.
"Every grid operator and every electric company is fighting to restore power right now," said ERCOT President and CEO Bill Magness.
Rotating outages will likely last throughout the morning and could be initiated until this weather emergency ends....
That day, any restrictions were lifted by both the State of Texas and the US DOE. As a matter of fact, ERCOT was ORDERED to work at maximum capacity both by the State and the US DOE. I blogged that days ago. That is on this blog.

CLAIM: An order from the U.S. Department of Energy (click here) under President Joe Biden blocked Texas from generating adequate power during the recent statewide emergency because it would exceed pollution limits.
AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. The order did the opposite of what social media users are claiming. It gave the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, which operates Texas’ power grid, emergency permission to produce enough energy to restore power to Texas homes, even if it temporarily exceeded pollution limits.
Please have confidence in the quality of governance being brought to the USA by the Biden Administration. When adverse information is brought forward to the media PLEASE validate that with authority. The Biden Administration is not going to lie to the media or the people. That "Era of Lies" ended when Trump vacated the White House.
Not to say there won't be mistakes from time to time, but, the mistakes will be minimal. The media should be interested in reporting everything good and bad, but, I guarantee if there is any problem it will be straightened out by if no one else the President himself. He wants the facts. Don't be afraid to share them with the press secretary to be sure the people are receiving good information.
The media has been through a rough few years. I really want the best of media coverage to come back. I want the media to find a way to remove hate from our dialogue as a country. We need to go there.
But, quoting right wing extreme media is a big mistake. They spin everything. Try to practice the best of what I know is possible. The country needs it. Let's try to bring the people together around the truth and hold the government responsible when anything isn't as promised. This country is sometimes slow to make that turn because of capitalism and it's consumerism, but, it can be done and the media needs to put the muscle behind that turn. We have lives to save from a deadly virus.
Thanks.

The Democrats need to find a path for their priorities and promises.
The Biden presidency has a great deal of confidence from the country. I was astounded by the graph in Philadelphia and the change in the number of cases of COVID-19 on a daily basis. That is definitely Joe Biden and his relationship with the country. He has taken action against all the monsters facing the USA. Texas is being held in his hand to be sure people are not exploited and has provided help to the state to return safety to their lives without being gouged for money by a utility plan that simply is a bad idea.
I hope President Biden maintains Neera Tanden to lead the Office of Budget and Management as an Acting Director. She deserves the opportunity to lead this office. He obviously has confidence in her and she has incredible credentials. I think she will be great.
I think Trump was saying in his defense at his impeachment trial and the US Senate accepted it, that the First Amendment protects inflammatory speech. That is a lie, but, if inflammatory speech is upheld by the US Senate, then the US Senate cannot be serious about their complaints as thin-skinned pouters to remove the nomination of Ms. Tanden.
The pouting Republicans are not partners to the Democrats and certainly not the country. January 6th was real and the best the Republicans can do is leave Trump as a place holder to their future elections. That is simply mindlessness lead by Trump's priorities. As far as I am concerned, Trump is lucky to be within the borders of the USA, yet alone be upheld as a leader of the Republican Party. There is nothing left to value with the Republican Party. Their former members are running away in herds from the party. The exception to that might be the ones with guns and plans for more hatred of their very own country.
The Democrats must lead. They must help the American people to recover their lives. That isn't going to come from a Republican Party led by Moscow Mitch of spineless McCarthy. The Dems need to get on with it. The Republicans are putting a drag on the economic recovery.
Welcome J&J. The FDA sees a place for the vaccine in the country.
By Lynsey Mukomel
Grand Rapids, Mich.- The Food and Drug Administration’s report (click here) that Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine is safe and protects against severe illness is welcomed news for those tasked with inoculating the public.
The regulating agency confirmed Wednesday the single-dose shot is about 66% effective at preventing moderate to severe COVID-19. That efficacy rate is even higher, 85%, against the most serious illness.
Perhaps the most promising aspect of the vaccine analysis is that 28 days after vaccination, there were no hospitalizations or deaths for those who received the shot.
Kent County Health Department Immunization Supervisor Mary Wisinski says that takeaway is more important than comparing efficacy rates related to preventing illness altogether — both Moderna and Pfizer were 95% effective at protection against the virus....
McCarthy is like McConnell, they are mindless idiots reading off the same email from Trump.
The Republican women took the seats in the US House.
I am not a Republican. I don't trust McCarthy or McConnell, but, I trust Liz Cheney. She is not an extension of her father, however, she is his daughter. She makes her own decisions.

AstraZeneca (click here) expects to get US emergency authorization for its COVID-19 vaccine in April, the firm's president told lawmakers on Tuesday.
As soon as it gets the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) greenlight, AstraZeneca will have 30 million doses of the 62 percent effective shot ready to ship to the US, said president of the biopharmaceuticals arm of the company, Dr Ruud Dobber on Tuesday.

Philadelphia’s coronavirus case counts (click here) have decreased by 80% since peaking in late December, Health Commissioner Thomas Farley said Tuesday.
“It’s a sign that things will be getting better this spring and summer,” Farley said.
The decrease is likely due to the virus following the pattern of most respiratory viruses, which peak in the winter months and decrease as spring arrives, Farley said. Farley said declining case counts cannot be attributed to vaccinations because not enough vaccines have been administered in the city; as of Monday evening there have been 174,092 first doses given in Philadelphia.

Chicago’s lakefront, (click here) playgrounds and indoor aquatics centers are starting to reopen after the coronavirus pandemic forced them to close nearly a year ago, the Chicago Park District announced Tuesday.
Many people have ignored the city’s playground strictures, and enforcement of the playground ban has been hardly consistent. But Chicago police have continued to enforce the closure of lakefront parks until this week, as first reported by Block Club Chicago, which reported Monday that lakefront aldermen announced the move starting Friday....

FERC is investigating price gouging in Texas.
That is probably a new vocabulary word for ERCOT. Price gouging, especially after such a tragedy that cost lives, is not a State's Rights issue. A negligent company that causes it's own price squeeze because it neglected it's responsibility to its customers, doesn't get to exploit them after their own preventable failure.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (click here) on Monday announced it would investigate whether any natural gas or electricity market violations occurred during the recent cold snap that left millions without power in Texas and Oklahoma last week.
FERC's announcement follows its decision, in partnership with the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), last week to investigate the mass outages across the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), as well as in the Southwest Power Pool and the Midcontinent Independent System Operator. It also follows calls from Chair Richard Glick for Congress and the Texas legislature to reexamine ERCOT's "go it alone" approach.
The commission also announced it would open a new proceeding to examine the threat climate change poses to electric reliability, following FERC's decision last week to close its resilience docket, originally opened in response to the Trump administration's coal and nuclear bailout proposal....

The first known case of the coronavirus variant (click here) discovered in South Africa has popped up in King County, and 19 additional cases of the variant first found in the UK have been identified, according to the Washington State Department of Health.
The B.1.351 variant of SARS-CoV-2, first seen in South Africa in December, was identified through genomic sequencing at the UW Medicine Virology Laboratory. It has been found in 10 states in the U.S.
The B.1.1.7 strain, which was first identified in the UK, seems to spread more easily and quickly than other variants and was first found a month ago in Washington state.
The appearance of the variants in Washington is not a surprise, Dr. Jeff Duchin, health officer for Public Health – Seattle & King County, said at a news briefing Tuesday.
The virus will continue to evolve and not all variants are worrisome, but those that are — called “variants of concern” — include both the UK and South Africa variants, he said.
Duchin said the new strains should cause people to “double down on their efforts to prevent COVID-19 transmissions.”...

The GOP are headed in the wrong direction. Embrassing Trump will be their down fall.
Trump is a liar and most Republicans don't like it. They were lied to enough all during his time in office and the antics over the election were very obvious.

When Diane Tyson (click here) got her driver’s license renewed Jan. 5, a DMV clerk asked whether she wanted to make any changes to her voter registration. A lifelong Republican, Tyson once ran for local office near Reading. She decided to wait: Supporters of Donald Trump were set to descend on Washington the next day as Congress met to certify his election loss.
“I wanted to see if it would be as ugly as it turned out to be,” she said.
As upsetting as the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol attack was, Tyson, 68, said watching Pennsylvania congressmen vote to throw out their own state’s election results is what soured her on the GOP.
She changed her registration to independent on Jan. 7.
The government buildings in DC need to be safe for families again.
The Capitol Police and the government of Washington, DC have to have their own national security officer related to the FBI.
New York City formed their own investigation bureau after 911. It would appear NYC also needs their own international bureau on diseases. It took a horrible toll on that city because airlines from Europe were not shut down.
The health investigators need to answer to the Health Department. The Health Department of any city has the authority needed to declare a health emergency, but, the idea of intelligence is to prevent the health emergency. Health officials will understand a report without any interpretation. Or. At least they should.
It is a worry that North Korea...
...is refusing shipments of food. If North Korea has complaints it should speak up so misunderstandings can be cleared up to its people’s benefit.
These shipments go to many countries because the climate crisis is destroying crops. There is no shame in this.
Congratulations to India.
After President Biden took office, China and India now have a disengagement agreement along the Line of Actual Control in Ladakh.
National Security includes being more than willing to defend borders regardless of the oppositional power. That is when allies become vital.
Well done, India.

I find the Supreme Court decision about Trump's taxes long overdue.
What is more troubling is the dissent written by Justice Clarence Thomas. He is one of the members of the Supreme Court that likes to foreshadow the future.
February 22, 2021The Supreme Court on Monday (click here) denied an appeal from Republicans challenging a Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision that allowed ballots received up to three days after Election Day to be counted to accommodate challenges by the coronavirus pandemic.
Justice Clarence Thomas wrote a forceful dissent. Read it here:...
He and Alito so far are guilty of casting a long shadow over the future. To be completely honest, Thomas's opinion is political and written to satisfy Ginni Thomas's friends. Ginni Thomas is a right-wing extremist. I am fairly confident he wrote this opinion, IN THE MINORITY, to make his wife and her extremist friends happy. That pandering to his wife is not exclusively my opinion. It needs to be looked into by an investigator or perhaps the Inspector General.
The court decision was correct in that extenuating circumstances of this election with the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic being at the center of concern, but, also which Thomas overlooks, was the problem with the US Postal Service and delayed mail deliveries.
There was no realistic timeline to convene legislative sessions to add amendments to state voting laws. Thomas, himself, states there were "...unusually high numbers of petitions and emergency applications...". Hello? Justice Thomas are you in there?
Thomas contradicts his own objection within the first two paragraphs of his dissent. At any rate, he maintains the states' "made up" rules for the elections. In the case of Pennsylvania, it was allowed for the state to extend it's acceptance of ballots for up to three days after the election. He also goes on to say the date stamp on the ballots did not have to be verified they were mailed on election day.
There are other states that allow for as long as 18 days or more for mail delivery of ballots. California is one of them. One might ask why. Because it is a huge state and coordination with Sacramento takes time.
You'll excuse me, but, if a ballot is received under the new and slower Trump US Post Office when did Thomas think the ballots were postmarked. On the third day? The very day the ballot was received?
But, what the other justices stated was that even if all those ballots were removed from the count IT WOULD NOT MATTER! These screwball ideas about the ballot's magical powers are deranged and insult the integrity of the election process. Not every idea has to be entertained when counting ballots because it is the majority that wins and if the ballots in question are fewer than the winning margin, WHY BRING THE ISSUE UP IN THE FIRST PLACE?
Oh, wait. I forgot. Trump was robbed of his WIN. Like I said, screwball ideas.
Even that idea, I mean, for real already. Where does he get the nerve to even think he was going to be returned to the White House? Ya see. I think he knew long before November 2020 that he was going to lose the election. For real now. Anyone in the country knew, in the majority that had real news available to them, that Trump was not coming back into power. We knew it. We, as a country, made up our minds all along the four-year timeline. The VIRUS was simply the frosting on the cake of incompetency, lies, and policies of hate. Trump knew he was not going to win. He kept up the diversion for his audience wrapped up on propaganda and driven mad into a violent mob. January 6th was planned by the president himself.
Well, back to Justice Thomas. After implicating his own dissent in his opening paragraphs as false and underhanded, he goes on with the ambition of casting doubt on the future. We don't know what the future will hold, but, members of this court seem to think they have the right to dictate the outcomes before they happen anyway. That is complete dysfunction inspired by and catered to The Federalist Society.
On Page 2, in the first paragraph, Thomas states, "...But that might not be the case in the future...." DISNEY IS NOT SUPPOSED TO ENTER INTO THE DISSENTS OF SUPREME COURT JUSTICES UNLESS IT IS A CASE ABOUT DISNEY.
Somehow a few of the Justices wrapped up in their social contacts with The Federalist Society believe in magical thinking that the future is theirs to decide. Ah, the need to speak from the grave. Were there ever such geniuses as those now that the future has to be dictated as the opportunity permits? Does Thomas or his wife have a crystal ball in their living room? You know, they can get a little odd. With Reagan is was Nancy's horoscope. I just thought a gypsy might come to visit to read palms from time to time.
"These cases provide us with the ideal opportunity to address just that authority nonlegislative officials have to set election rules, and to do so well before the next election cycle. The refusal to do so is inexplicable."
Well, isn't that just the ego that is a steering committee all by itself? Then the egotist goes on to explain Pennsylvania's long history of minimal use of mail-in ballots.
Really? That is the case with most states. The ONLY reason half the country voted with mail in ballots is that Donald John Trump turned a deadly virus loose on the voters of the USA! YES, HE DID. He never voiced a word of caution about any aspect of protection from the virus. He opposed mask-wearing. Never believed in social distancing that was obvious in his rallies. He was president, he could do anything he wanted including sending in the National Guard and Army Corp of Engineers to put up temporary hospital facilities. So, I guess, the crowd was supposed to enjoy their rally before they became deathly ill.
I really don't need to go on. Justice Thomas was completely flagrant in his dissent. If there was ever a dissent to be removed from the country's record, this is the one.
I think it is looking better. Today, Texas and South Carolina are still experiencing large positive tests.
There is a lot of information within this site including hospital beds occupied by COVID-19 patients. The site also discusses contract tracing and how that works for the benefit of everyone.

US Senator Grassley is a Trump loyalist as exhibited by his introduction speech at the Garland Senate Hearing. He is untrustworthy.
Graham is still carrying water for Trump. God forbid he should be more worried about children without parents than drug cartel members falsely seeking asylum. Seems like nonsense to me. The issue at the border is about catching the traffickers. It is a long history that the cartels primarily send drugs at legal crossings. There was a large truckload stopped this past year. So, while there may be some individuals that slip through the net, most of the drugs are coming by a vehicle of some kind, be it hand gliders or tunnels.
I think the best first step for the US Justice Department under Garland is to make short work of the Trump nonsense with constitutional policies for the department. Then he needs to deal with the realities we face today.
We do not have a dummied down justice department as is existed under Barr. I do thank former AG Barr for protecting the US Constitution in his final days of office. He did his part to prevent the attack to remove the USA Constitution. Perhaps he will write a book about those days. It would promise to be an interesting read.
US Senator Whitehouse characterized through his requests a Justice Department that was severely partisan. It reflects a troubling paradigm of ignored requests of US Senators. Do US Senators need the legal capacity to pursue their questions and act autonomously when proven a corrupt US Justice Department is avoiding important requests. Perhaps the US Attorneys can be compelled to answer such questions when the DOJ is proven after a period of time to be uncooperative.
Facts are necessary to legislate well.
I think President Biden is doing the right things when he wants to start off with a fresh slate of US Attorneys, too.

Lastassija White and Quincy Drone lost their 5-year-old daughter to covid-19 in October. “I could tell she was really scared,” her father said of seeing Tagan in the emergency room after her death, her eyes still wide-open.
Priscilla Morse blames herself. (click here) “I had it last,” she said. “I was Gigi’s primary caregiver.”
Priscilla’s husband, David, blames himself. He brought the virus that causes covid-19 into the house after picking it up at the pool supply shop he manages.
Their 11-year-old son thinks it’s his fault: He’s the one who noticed his 6-year-old sister lying still, eyes open, blank stare. He called 911, but wonders if he couldn’t have noticed earlier....
A large number of children dead from SARS-CoV-2 are minority children. The pressures to return children to school should not be met with the danger of contracting the virus. Parents find school attendance a solace to their lives as they work their jobs, however, exposure to disease is not the solace they are seeking. Children with ANY degree of danger to the virus should not be in classes.
We know for a fact there is a Post-COVID-19 syndrome. It is due to tissue damage mostly of which is not repairable. Many of the stories are the loss of taste and smell have not returned months after fighting off the virus. That is because of the mechanism SARS-CoV-2 renders to body cells. The cells are destroyed as the virus exists and ruptures the cell membrane/wall after replication with the cell's DNA.
The first place the virus enters the body most frequently is through the nose. The first place it finds a home is the cells of the nose. The nose not only carries air to the lungs, it also contains the sensory cells for smell and taste. Those cells are damaged when the sense of taste and smell is gone or diminished. Those cells will not regenerate. There may be a genetic answer in the future, but, right now there is no such medical intervention and those senses are damaged forever.
The article below not only relates to the reality of this syndrome but, also the presence of it's attack on children. Children are growing and their body cells are being damaged as they are growing. Just imagine the lousy virus settling in the growth plates of the bones. There is also the issue that the nervous system tends to be the very favorite cells to this virus including that special nervous system of the heart. Children are being hit hard by this virus and will need support for the rest of their lives. There is something like 3 million children infected with SARS-CoV-2. It would be a hideous reality to have children return to school only to be infected with a virus that very well may disable them for the rest of their lives.

Fifteen-year-old Braden Wilson (click here) was frightened of Covid-19. He was careful to wear masks and only left his house, in Simi Valley, Calif., for things like orthodontist checkups and visits with his grandparents nearby.
But somehow, the virus found Braden. It wreaked ruthless damage in the form of an inflammatory syndrome that, for unknown reasons, strikes some young people, usually several weeks after infection by the coronavirus.
Doctors at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles put the teenager on a ventilator and a heart-lung bypass machine. But they could not stop his major organs from failing. On Jan. 5, “they officially said he was brain dead,” his mother, Amanda Wilson, recounted, sobbing. “My boy was gone.”
Doctors across the country have been seeing a striking increase in the number of young people with the condition Braden had, which is called Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children or MIS-C. Even more worrisome, they say, is that more patients are now very sick than during the first wave of cases, which alarmed doctors and parents around the world last spring....

I really resent the feeding frenzy about a New York Times correction, left over from the "Fake News" garbage.
A lot is surmised during complete mayhem. The New York Times did the right thing and retracted any misinformation that it had received. Kindly put the country first and realize the reporting that day was piecemeal. There is plenty of room to forgive any mistakes made. The New York Times was not taking up the side of the insurrectionists. That is important, too.
Officer Sicknick died of trauma from the insurrection that day. I don't care if it was high blood pressure or otherwise. I did hear one report stating an officer collapsed when he returned to the station. So there was a lot of information flowing because people wanted to know what was happening. Quite frankly, I found the coverage of the insurrection water-downed.
Officer Sicknick's story is no less important. He was honored and rightly so. There were many injuries to the police that day. There are head injuries and other maiming occurred. So, while this is an error in initial reporting it is not a crime. We need to keep our attention where it belongs and that is the criminality of the day and of Donald John Trump.
No one is going to make a journalist mistake the story. It isn't. It took a coroner to determine the cause of death. Enough. There are people dead from that day and the officer, his family, and peers received the respect they all deserved.
The real story are the people arrested and their crimes against the Constitution. If you want to talk about lies, talk about the ones Donald John Trump made to his loyalists that manifested in illegal acts. Talk about those lies and the fact Trump isn't implicated in any of the crimes while his loyalists take all the blame. Write about those lies and injustices. Write about the retractions that were never made. FOX News could write retractions for a year and they still would not have all of them corrected. Write about those lies.
The New York Times retraction is not a story it is a correction and that is all it is. Those that want to correct it along with the New York Times should feel free to do so, but, making a mistake the story is a huge mistake.
"Good night, Moon"
9.6 day old moon
72.3 percent lit
February 21, 2021By Jamie Carter
This week (click here) is all about the “Snow Moon,” the full Moon of February. Its light will spill into the night sky and make stargazing harder, though planet-spotters won’t be affected. That’s lucky because before dawn on Thursday a rare “conjunction” of three planets will take place. Here’s everything you need to know about the night sky this week.
Look south after dark and you’ll see an 87%-lit waxing Moon close to Pollux in the winter constellation of Gemini, eventually forming a straight line with Pollux and its twin star Castor in the early hours of the morning in North America. Pollux is a giant star 34 light years distant.
The 22nd is Washington's Birthday. George Washington.
