China permits two new coal power plants per week in 2022

Coal power plant permitting, construction starts and new project announcements accelerated dramatically in China in 2022, with new permits reaching the highest level since 2015. The coal power capacity starting construction in China was six times as large as that in all of the rest of the world combined.

Morning laugh: "History will judge you as idiots and liars" — he actually admitted that

In the rare instances I’m drawn into discussing politics with liberals, I find the same blind, frothing-at-the-mouth ignorance and contempt displayed here. That contempt is returned, silently, 100X.

Go ahead, you can say it: JOOOOZE!

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!

The dust-up about his pocket stuffer comes three days after he made headlines for a tattoo scripted in Arabic on his arm.

The tattoo spells out the word 'kafir', which in the Quran means 'disbeliever' or 'infidel'.

The article’s by Not the Bee’s Joel Abbott, so well worth reading and enjouing

Abbott: “Wait, wait, wait ... you're telling me that a guy who served in Iraq and Afghanistan has a super popular tattoo among U.S. Armed Forces who served in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“You're saying thousands upon thousands of our boys are controversial for proudly wearing the insults leveled at them by Islamic terrorists??”

Muslims immediately decried the tattoo as a sign of disrespect and bigotry.

That's right, the people who snidely call us infidels are the real victims here! 😂

But the worst of all?

Hegseth is a Christian (GASP!) who has tattoos to remind him that he is a Christian warrior who is bound by the faith, tradition, and history of Christian warriors.

Hegseth's 'kafir' seems to be the latest addition among at least a dozen tattoos he has said symbolize his American patriotism and Christian faith.

The words 'Deus Vult' right above it on his right inner arm is widely seen as a symbol of Christian nationalism.

Abbott:

"Deus Vult" is an ancient Christian saying in Latin that means "God wills it," in the same way that hundreds of millions of Muslims say "if God wills it" in Arabic (inshallah) every single day. The Latin motto refers to the Lord's Prayer ("Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven").

But you're supposed to think it's bad because Christians first used the motto in 1096 when they were trying to stop the mostly peaceful Muslim armies from raping and pillaging further into the Byzantine Empire.

FWIW: This caught my eye: apparently, the cleansing of the Pentagon is incomplete, and there are still Obamaites to be flushed out:

'The guy can't show up to a simple ceremony without p*****g off half the people in the building,' one Pentagon insider told the Daily Mail. 'This isn't tone deafness. This is outright aggression in terms of optics.'

Who's gonna tell her?

“Who, me? You want me?” (Well, no)

“A third option remains, that she will forego a political career entirely and remain a paid speaker and inspirational figure for activists”

Hahahahaha!

Kamala Harris triggered further speculation over the weekend that she is not running for governor of California and has higher political ambitions.

Rumors started circulating after she delivered a lackluster three-minute virtual address to the Democratic state political convention that was politely received by the audience.

In a steady, monotone voice, she spoke about the Trump administration's recent actions against universities and praised activists efforts to fight the president's agenda.

'While this administration in Washington tries to divide us, we hear know that we are stronger when we stand together,' she said, a flashback to her 2024 campaign slogan.

Harris' failure to appear at the convention and her video address suggested she was not interested in running for governor of California, and instead pursuing a return to presidential politics. 

The Democratic primary for the race is scheduled for June 2, 2026, with the general election scheduled for November.

Harris has always been popular in California, easily beating Democratic challengers in her race for Attorney General and her race for Senator of California.

Her 2020 race for president, however, failed spectacularly as she ended her campaign before the Iowa caucuses and the California primary.

Since her loss, Harris has vowed to 'stay in the fight' and organized some of her trusted aides into the organization Pioneer49, while she explores her political future.

California Democratic activists are frustrated by the lack of signals from Harris, as they are impatient to move forward with a clear candidate. 

If Harris runs for governor, she will likely forego another run for president in 2028, which Democratic strategists in Washington, DC fully expect her to explore.

She continues to delay any decisions about running for governor or diving into presidential politics again, telling advisors she will made a decision in late-summer. 

A third option remains, that she will forego a political career entirely and remain a paid speaker and inspirational figure for activists with the option of publishing a book of her memoirs.  

In the meantime, Harris continues to take the stage to protest the Trump administration and rally activists. 

Last week, she appeared at an event in Australia where she shared a bizarre story about her mother and spiraled into word salads when asked to speak about the importance of humility. 

This has historically been the fate of bidding war "winners" – maybe the market is returning to normal

Mentioned here when it hit the market May 13th at $2.360, 14 Revere Road, NoPo, has dropped its price to $2.195. The owners paid $1.850 million for it in July ‘22 in a bidding war that began at $1.595. Even after sale transaction costs that will be incurred when it sells, the owners are still ahead of the game, but the breakeven point is drawing closer.
