When you are wealthy and criticize a Leftist regime such as the one which occupies Washington D.C. You get this type of retaliatory bullshit.

The Biden administration issued its latest decision impacting an Elon Musk business venture Monday, forcing SpaceX to take more than 75 environmental actions before moving ahead with its rocket launch plans in Texas.

SpaceX must take a number of steps and actions — like donating $5,000 per year to both an ocelot refuge and peregrine falcon fund and operating a shuttle from the parking lot to reduce traffic — before proceeding with its proposed Starship Super Heavy Project in Boca Chica, Texas, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announcement. The company has proposed to use the facility to launch its Starship spacecraft and Super Heavy rocket, a reusable transportation system the company said is the most powerful launch vehicle ever made and could travel to Mars.

Can anyone in government accurately forecast anything? And I mean anything of importance.

Authored by Kyle Anzalone & Will Porter via The Libertarian Institute,

US energy security envoy Amos Hochstein has acknowledged that Russia might be making more revenue from fossil fuels than before its February invasion of Ukraine. Washington has responded with waves of sanctions aiming to crush the Russian economy.

Hochstein made the comments during a hearing for the Senate Subcommittee on Europe and Regional Security Cooperation. In response to a question about whether Moscow was making more money now off its fossil fuel sales, Hochstein said, "I can’t deny that."

There is a reason why Washington D.C. is not a state. And this bitch politician is too stupid to understand it.

Ahead of today’s observance of Flag Day, Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser ordered flags with 51 stars to be raised in the district because “DC’s disenfranchisement is a stain on American democracy – a 220-year-old wrong that demands to be righted.”

In a statement posted to her government website on Monday, the mayor said, “Today, ahead of Flag Day, I directed our team to hang 51-star flags along Pennsylvania Avenue as a reminder to Congress and the nation that the 700,000 tax-paying American citizens living in Washington, DC demand to be recognized.”

Lot to government largess teat sucking going on.

I am fresh out of Give-A-Fvcks. How about you?

A trans woman thrown in a cell with men after drug charges is suing the prison for what she calls discrimination.

Christina Lusk, 56, has faced sexual and verbal abuse since being incarcerated at Moose Lake prison in Minnesota, USA, after admitting to a felony drug possession charge.

Lusk, who is legally recognised as female and came out as transgender 14 years ago, has asked to be moved from the men's facility to the women's prison in nearby Shakopee.

Yes, I'm lacking empathy tonight. Another case in point: Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Is 5-10 years fair for shoplifting $80 from a Walmart self-checkout? Kentucky AG says yes

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — When Chastity Shirley shopped at Walmart’s Somerset, Kentucky, store one day in 2018, she pulled what retailers call a "switcheroo."

She switched the bar codes from a toothbrush holder with those from a more expensive children's rug and slipcover and checked herself out of the store.

She was caught red-handed by a loss-control associate who was watching her.

The cost difference between the item she paid for and the two she tried to take — $80.80.

But instead of charging her with misdemeanor theft — standard for shoplifting crimes of less than $500 — a Pulaski County prosecutor persuaded a grand jury to indict Shirley for "unlawful access to a computer."

Whew. I don't know about you. But, I'll be able to sleep better at night knowing the following: US Army deploys its first floating solar array - A big moment for ‘floatovoltaics’

Floating solar had a moment in the spotlight over the weekend when the US Army unveiled a new solar plant sitting atop the Big Muddy Lake at Fort Bragg in North Carolina. It’s the first floating solar array deployed by the Department of Defense, and it’s part of a growing current of support in the US for “floatovoltaics.”

The army says its goal is to boost clean energy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and give the nearby training facility a source of backup energy during power outages. The panels will be able to generate about one megawatt of electricity, which can typically power about 190 homes.

The installation, the largest in the US Southeast, is a big win for floatovoltaics, which have yet to make a big splash in the US. They only make up 2 percent of solar installations annually in the country, according to Duke Energy, which collaborated with Fort Bragg and the renewable energy company Ameresco on the project.

I have enough problems with my hobbies without taking up this new one. There is a record for balancing chainsaws on your head.

June 13 (UPI) -- An Idaho man reclaimed a Guinness World Records title by balancing a chainsaw on his forehead for 31 minutes and 25 seconds.

David Rush, who has broken nearly 250 Guinness World Records to promote STEM education, originally broke the record for longest duration balancing a chainsaw on the forehead in 2017, when he balanced the tool for 5 minutes and 1 second.

Naughty boy. Bad dog. I guess this one reason why an ankle biter would be a good pet.

A Missouri home burst into flames last week when the family dog accidentally turned on the kitchen stove, causing a grease fire, officials said.

The home owner’s security capture captured the moment the dog stood on its hind legs and placed its paws up on the stovetop, which had a high-tech control that activates the stove’s range with a touch of a finger.

From a touch of a paw, the stove turned on and caused a fire that brought extensive damage to the home, located in Parkville, a suburb outside of Kansas City, Missouri.

It is unclear whether Pennington was under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time. Genius Award Winner.

ERWINVILLE - Deputies arrested a man outside a gas station after he reportedly defecated throughout the store and threatened customers and an employee.

The West Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Office arrested Joel Pennington, 51, late Sunday night after Pennington reportedly tried to assault people in the area. When deputies arrived, they asked Pennington's mother—who was also there — where he was. She replied he was in her van.
