EPA's new renewable fuel standard

samedi 18 février 2023 à 05:18

The EPA needs to take care so that its new renewable fuel standard does not backfire and encourage use of certain fossil fuels.

The planet roasters are once again trying to encourage investment in more use of certain fuels which are only partly renewable, and doing so by exaggeration. China is provoking skirmishes China is using its naval and air power as a basis for threats of skirmishes. Just recently it provoked a small skirmish with a Philippine transport ship.

For some decades, China has been building bases on islands in the South Chine Sea, which various countries claim. The Philippines replies in kind by building an artificial base on a reef. That set the scene for the skirmish.

I expect China calculates that it can attack Philippine ships with lasers. and the Philippines won't dare retaliate because China's navy is more powerful. The article does not mention that any one was permanently injured, but it creates a strategic quandary.

Nikki Haley doesn't talk as brashly as DeMentis, but progressives point to her record on policies and say she is as radical as the corruptor.

Government intervention to eliminate antisemitism

samedi 18 février 2023 à 05:18

Government intervention to eliminate antisemitism (both real and misidentified) from the Labour party has ended.

I am sure there were real antisemites in the Labour party. But since this intervention was based on the incorrect IRHC statistical classification criterion, the denunciations also included critics of Israel's occupation who were not antisemites. This will eliminate many non-racist progressives from the party. The party's unofficial policy of imposing non-progressive candidates will ensure that a Labour victory will make only an incremental difference. Sure, it won't be as bad as Tories, but how will Britain do the rest of what it needs to do? The Labour Party will never help.

The NHS will pay a large sum to cure any British child of metachromatic leukodystrophy, a fatal genetic disorder, if the diagnosis is early enough for the cure to be effective.

Putin forces sent Ukrainian children to brainwashing camps

samedi 18 février 2023 à 05:18

The Putin forces sent thousands of Ukrainian children (at least 6000) to brainwashing camps to inculcate Russian identity and loyalty to Russia.

Some of them left with their parents' permission. Others were given no other way to leave the battlefield. Some were cut off from all further contact with their families. Some never came back.

I cannot tell whether this literally includes only children, or minors of all ages up to 18.
