Lee Ocean Shipping Amendments Become Law

Click HERE for Video.

Washington, D.C. – Eight amendments proposed by Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) became law under the Ocean Shipping Reform Act. Three amendments were from his SHIP IT Act and represent a part of his detailed plan to fight inflation. Senator Lee's contributions will be an essential step toward combatting our nation's supply chain crisis. Lee’s amendments cut red tape responsible for delayed approval of much-needed port workers. They require federal reporting to Congress, giving lawmakers a better understanding of how U.S. port technology stacks up against our competitors. Additionally, they require the federal government to explore the feasibility of using U.S. Inland Ports, such as the one in Utah, for storing and transferring cargo containers.

Of his amendments, Sen. Lee said, “The surge of online goods has exposed some problems, systemic problems, with our supply chain. Americans in all states are experiencing consumer product shortages, and the end doesn’t appear to be anywhere in sight. This has contributed to inflation that is costing American families. I am encouraged that a number of my amendments that will help get products off of ships, into trucks, and onto shelves have become law.”

Sen. Lee continues to advocate for the passage of his complete SHIP IT Act to counter the supply chain and inflation crises.

Lee explained the process by which his amendments became law in the video linked above.

West's worst drought in 1,200 years

Vernal, Utah (CNN)Among those who love to chase trout with flies made of feathers, just the mention of a certain seven-mile stretch of Utah's Green River can turn a hardened man rhapsodic.

"I've guided in New Zealand, Chile, Argentina, Alaska," said Gordon Tharrett, describing his 30-year career guiding elite fly fishers around the world. "I've never seen anything like it."

The West just experienced an aspect of the climate crisis that scientists have warned of for years

A massive rockfall crashed into Lake Powell. Record-low water levels could be to blame

Lake Mead's water level is running well below predictions

This state's two largest reservoirs are already at 'critically low levels' and the dry season is just starting

The Colorado River irrigates farms, powers electric grids and provides drinking water for 40 million people. As its supply dwindles, a crisis looms

"It's phenomenal," said Stephen Lytle, the son of the local game warden who's been floating and fishing this stretch since boyhood. "You get people from all over the world. Eric Clapton has been up here. Tiger Woods. If you're a fly fisherman, this is one of the places to hit."

But bring up the American West's worst drought in 1,200 years and their reverie turns to head-shaking anxiety and disgust. They may have more water than most -- hundreds of miles from fallowing farms in Arizona or browning lawns in Los Angeles -- but they know that on the Colorado River system, the massive, unchecked demand for water downstream is threat to everything upstream.

Utah and 25 AGs Take Action Against Biden's 'Unlawful Trans Kids' Lunch Policy

Twenty-six state attorneys general are pushing back against a Biden administration policy that links policies regarding transgender students to funding for school lunches.

On May 5, the Department of Agriculture warned that schools taking federal money to offset the costs of school lunches must have policies in place to ban discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

But the attorneys general said that is forcing schools to swallow the Biden administration’s ideology while potentially starving children.

“Using hungry children as a human shield in a policy dispute violates basic decency,” Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost said, according to the Washington Times.....

Romney accuses White House of ‘patently false’ reports about Covid-19 funds

In a striking monologue during a congressional hearing, Romney expressed anger that he spent months negotiating with his colleagues to craft a $10 billion funding package, when the Biden administration earlier this month announced that it had repurposed existing funding to pay for $10 billion in vaccines and therapeutics purchases in the absence of congressional action.

Romney called the administration’s claims earlier this year that it was unable to buy more therapeutics, vaccines, and antiviral treatments without more funding “patently false,” and said he “wouldn’t have worked as hard” to secure a bipartisan deal if he had known that other funds could be repurposed. The claims were made in a letter sent to Romney from Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra on March 7, which was first published by STAT in May.....

'If that's not child molestation, it is definitely close': Tucker Carlson blasts Biden over daughter Ashley's diary admission that taking showers with him as a girl may have contributed to her sex addiction

Tucker Carlson questioned why the FBI was investigating the alleged theft of a diary as it is not a federal crime
Carlson said: 'The answer lies in what's in the diary. Now we know what's in the diary'
Ashley Biden allegedly wrote in a January 2019 entry: 'I remember having sex with friends @ a young age; showers w/ my dad (probably not appropriate)'
A Florida woman named Aimee Harris is under investigation for selling Ashley Biden's diary after the president's daughter left it behind at a 'halfway house'
Previous reports claimed the Bidens reported it stolen in an alleged burglary, but DailyMail.com has learned Harris is not being investigated for theft
'It's her selling of the property that could be considered a crime. And the fact Ashley is the president's daughter kicks it to a different legal level,' source said
Harris, 39, moved into a Palm Beach home and found the diary under the mattress shortly after Ashley moved back to Philadelphia in 2020
She is said to have later passed the private journal around at a Republican fundraiser before selling it for $40,000 to right wing organization Project Veritas
The diary contained details about her chronic drug abuse, sex addiction, and being 'hyper-sexualized' in her youth....

6 Truths About The Environment The Biden Administration Would Like To Censor

Whhite House national climate adviser Gina McCarthy took left-wing censorship a step further by proposing tech companies must shut down conversations that challenge the administration’s narrative on energy last Thursday.

“The tech companies have to stop allowing specific individuals over and over again to spread disinformation,” McCarthy said in an interview with Axios.

Let’s play along with McCarthy’s hypothetical in which “disinformation” means the facts and opinions not specifically spoon-fed to Americans by the government. Here are six truths about the environment that the Biden administration would probably censor......

How Dumb Is Joe Biden? Ask Him. He’ll Tell You.

We all know that Joe Biden isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed. Okay, he’s basically a spoon among knives.

While this is something we’ve all been able to recognize, perhaps what’s really shocking is that Biden seems to be aware of his lack of intelligence. He’s repeatedly conceded that the people around him are all smarter than he is.

And we have the receipts, thanks to this great supercut from Townhall:.....

Kristi Noem Celebrates the Closure of South Dakota's Last Planned Parenthood Clinic: 'We Have Prayed for This Day'

The last Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in South Dakota performed its final abortion on Monday, and will be temporarily shuttering its doors while awaiting the outcome of the Supreme Court’s decision on Dobbs v. Jackson’s Women’s Health Organization.

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem sent a celebratory tweet over the news:

Abortions have stopped in South Dakota. We have prayed for this day, and now it is here.

Now, we must redouble our focus on taking care of mothers in crisis. Help is available for you. Adoption is an option. You are never alone.....

The Senate Seats Most Likely to Flip in 2022

Democratic control of Congress will be on the line next year as Republicans look to claw their way back into power after a disappointing 2020 election that cost them the White House and their Senate majority.

But despite the conventional wisdom that the party of a new president tends to lose ground in the midterms, Senate Democrats are staring down several offensive opportunities in 2022 as they look to expand their ultra-narrow majority in the upper chamber.

Still, the GOP has pickup opportunities of its own, especially in states that Democrats only managed to win recently.

Here are the nine Senate seats most likely to flip in 2022:

Seven presidential contenders for the GOP in 2024

Former President Trump is still the dominant figure in the Republican Party, but his stranglehold is loosening.

Trump-backed candidates have had a mixed record in GOP primaries so far this cycle, with high-profile losses in Georgia, Nebraska and a key South Carolina district undercutting many other wins.

The work of the House select committee on Jan. 6, 2021, also places Trump’s role in the insurrection squarely in the spotlight.

To be sure, Trump leads early 2024 polls by a wide margin. But there is no guarantee that the ever-unpredictable Trump will enter the race. And there is a growing consensus among Republican insiders that, if he does, he will face a serious challenge. So, if the 2024 GOP nominee ends up being someone other than Trump, whom might it be?....

Key Takeaways:

Russian forces continued to launch ground assaults on Severodonetsk and settlements along the Ukrainian ground lines of communication (GLOCs) to Lysychansk. Ukrainian military intelligence reported that Russian forces are no longer operating as concrete battalion tactical groups (BTGs), as ISW previously assessed.

Russian forces conducted unsuccessful offensive operations northwest of Slovyansk, while Ukrainian forces reportedly resumed preparations for counteroffensives west of Izyum.

Russian and Ukrainian forces engaged in clashes north and northeast of Kharkiv City, though no significant territory changed hands.

Russian forces continued to fortify fallback positions in northwestern Kherson Oblast, likely in anticipation of Ukrainian counteroffensives in the region.

Head of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DNR) Denis Pushilin continued to discuss and sign patronage agreements with Russian regional officials.

Inflation: All Fingers Point to Biden

Fracking never hurt anyone, but shutting it down set off inflation.

The current roaring inflation did not start with Comrade Putin’s barbaric invasion of Ukraine. It started with Comrade “Joe” Biden’s slamming down fracking and the big pipeline. That, by itself, turned America from a major oil producer and possibly the biggest oil state on Earth into an oil beggar with chronically short supplies. We were exporting oil and gas to Europe. Now we go with hat in hand to the likes of Iran for oil.

There never was any good reason to stop fracking. There was no evidence that it hurt the land or made an observable addition to worldwide air quality pollution.

Still, the college kids shrieked, and Biden listened, and now we have $7.35 a gallon gasoline at my local station. Biden did this, once again. Not Putin.

Now, we have real pain for most families. So, how do we usually fight inflation? We slow down the economy. We do that, in general, by slowing the growth of money, by raising interest rates, and by hobbling the ability of banks to lend.

The problem this time is immense, and there are immense dangers. We have a rapidly growing economy, with a serious shortage of workers. To slow an economy as robust as ours, we will have to slam on the monetary brakes in a huge way. Mr. Powell, the Chair of the Federal Reserve and its Federal Open Market Committee, promised to do that in a statement yesterday. He said his goal was to get inflation down from its current roughly 8.5 percent annual rate to 2 percent, while keeping unemployment at 2 percent.....

Artificial Intelligence and Chemical and Biological Weapons

Sometimes reality is a cold slap in the face. Consider, as a particularly salient example, a recently published article concerning the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the creation of chemical and biological weapons (the original publication, in Nature, is behind a paywall, but this link is a copy of the full paper). Anyone unfamiliar with recent innovations in the use of AI to model new drugs will be unpleasantly surprised.

Here’s the background: In the modern pharmaceutical industry, the discovery of new drugs is rapidly becoming easier through the use of artificial intelligence/machine learning systems. As the authors of the article describe their work, they have spent decades “building machine learning models for therapeutic and toxic targets to better assist in the design of new molecules for drug discovery.”

In other words, computer scientists can use AI systems to model what new beneficial drugs may look like for specifically targeted afflictions and then task the AI to work on discovering possible new drug molecules to use.

Those results are then given to the chemists and biologists who synthesize and test the proposed new drugs.

Given how AI systems work, the benefits in speed and accuracy are significant. As one study put it:.....

A Proposed Peace Plan to End the Russo-Ukrainian War by David Pyne

It has now been over one hundred days since Russia invaded Ukraine with no end to the war in sight. The war has the potential to drag on for months, if not years, and lead to the deaths of tens of thousands of more Ukrainians, as well as the destruction of more cities that will fuel a worsening humanitarian crisis. The United Nations Commission on Human Rights has confirmed that over 4,000 Ukrainian civilians have been killed during Russia’s invasion while the Ukrainian government claims a death toll of over 27,500. The war has resulted in the greatest refugee crisis since the end of World War II. It is estimated that nearly five million Ukrainians have left the country while an additional eight million have been displaced within Ukraine. These are staggering numbers that equate to over one-third of Ukraine’s citizens being forced to leave their homes. Furthermore, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky recently declared that Russian forces now control 20 percent of Ukraine’s territory.

While Western media outlets continue to mistakenly report that Ukraine is winning the war, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has indicated that Russia is making incremental progress towards achieving its military objectives. According to a recent Western intelligence report, even though the United States is providing Ukraine with four to five times more military aid than Kyiv spends on its armed forces each year, Ukraine is losing the Battle of the Donbass and suffering “extreme losses” while being “outgunned 20 to 1 in artillery.” Ukrainian troops are running out of ammunition, increasingly demoralized, and beginning to desert. The report also revealed that most Ukrainian artillery is limited to a range of twenty-five kilometers while Russian artillery and rocket launchers can strike from twelve times that distance. It also stated that Ukraine’s bargaining position has been weakened since Russia has more than ten times the number of prisoners of war than Ukraine. The intelligence report concluded by stating: “It is plain that a conventional war cannot be won if your side has several times fewer weapons, your weapons hit the enemy at a shorter distance, and you have significantly less ammunition than the enemy.”....

If Trump Committed 'Insurrection,' Indict Him Already

Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., on the Senate floor the first day of the televised Jan. 6 select committee hearings, said: "(Former President) Donald Trump was at the heart of a coordinated effort to overturn the 2020 elections, to overturn our constitutional order, and inflict permanent damage upon our democracy."

But Democratic committee member Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., when asked about possible Justice Department charges against Trump, said: "Attorney General (Merrick) Garland is my constituent, and I don't browbeat my constituents. I think that he knows, his staff knows, the U.S. attorneys know what's at stake here. They know the importance of it. But I think they're rightfully paying close attention to precedent and history, as well as the facts of this case." Not exactly full speed ahead.....

The Common Denominator of Violence in America

“The foundation of national morality must be laid in private families. … In vain are schools, academies, and universities instituted, if loose principles and licentious habits are impressed upon children in their earliest years.” —John Adams (1778)

Rhetorical question: “Why is our culture suddenly producing so many young men who want to murder innocent people? Could things like fatherlessness, the breakdown of families, isolation from civil society, or the glorification of violence be contributing factors?” —Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT)

The Senate Seats Most Likely To Flip in 2022

The 2022 United States Senate elections can best be thought of as the classic battle between the irresistible force and the immovable object. The irresistible force is the playing field. President Joe Biden’s job approval in the RCP Average is currently 39.7%, the lowest of his presidency. That’s about 3.5 points lower than Barack Obama’s job approval was on (midterm) Election Day 2010. President Obama’s job approval only dipped to 40% briefly, in the immediate aftermath of the botched Obamacare rollout, and it never dropped below 40%. President Donald Trump’s job approval spent much of 2017 below this mark, but in the terrible Republican election year of 2018, it never fell this low.

In other words, this is shaping up to be a worse environment than either of the last three midterms, all of which were nightmares for the party in power....

The Ineptitude of the Bureaucracy

Unless we clean house this November, we will remain faced with a reality much like a zookeeper’s dilemma.

Whenever a business decides that another department is vital, it tends to search out candidates with previous experience or education in the requisite field in order to lend credibility to the position and guarantee success. Companies that have managed to sustain progress don’t fly headlong into these decisions lightly. They spend time and resources to vet their prospects, hoping to continue their longevity. However, when the governmental elites deem it necessary that an additional cadre of lackeys is required to relieve the “overwhelmed” members of our governing class, a bureaucracy is born — a grouping of feckless people who have gained ascendancy yet are accountable to no one.

Presidents used to be persons admired by the public — stately people who had achieved the ultimate success in life and were revered as true leaders and protectors of the weak. Men like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln stand out in history. Men who defended our belief in creating an independent nation against a tyrannical empire. Men who held this country together while in its infancy and during a bloody civil war.

Tiger Moms Maul Virginia School Board Over ‘Misgendering’ Rules

A Virginia school district will suspend students from fourth grade on up for using the wrong pronouns to designate transgender peers, igniting a fierce backlash from parents during a Thursday school board meeting.

The Fairfax County School Board voted eight to four to approve guidelines that will discipline students who engage in "malicious misgendering," "malicious deadnaming," or use a slur based on a classmate's "gender identity," "gender expression," or "sexual orientation." The board approved the rules as part of next year's school handbook. Four board members who objected did so for reasons unrelated to the suspension provision, preferring to debate a run-of-the-mill cell phone policy for an hour after fielding heated questions from parents.

The meeting showcased the power liberal school boards wield in America, as the members approved the rules over strenuous objections from parents on constitutional grounds and potentially under threat of lawsuits. While one board member acknowledged the concerns, another board member, Karl Frisch, evaded questions, saying the changes had already been implemented last year, though parents pointed out the school district quietly implemented them during the pandemic. A third, Abrar Omeish, floated the idea of nixing the public question period at the next meeting.

New Disney ride instantly transitions all riders to another gender

VISTA DEL MAR, CA—The Walt Disney Company has announced the opening of its newest ride in Disney Land: The Transgenderficator! The ride promises to deliver a mind, body and gender bending experience to children of all ages!

Disney spokesperson Dick Slicer was effusive as he announced the completion of the ride although he indicated final testing is required to guarantee the desired results. “We need to work out the final transition phase of the ride, since some participants have only partially experienced the wonderful, permanent, and devastating side effects.”

When asked for clarification Mr. Slicer indicated that “full transition requires a prescription from a doctor.” Questioned about whether this could affect ridership he replied “No, because we have renowned doctor Rothchild Groomer to write prescriptions for everyone in line!”

When pressed if the ride will also appear at Disney World, Slicer opined “Never happen, people in Florida are too normal. We need Cali weirdos to make this ride work!”

Although this is one of the newer rides at Disney Land, another spokesperson, Xes Lana whose preferred pronouns are Bla, Bla and Bla, indicated the following rides are in development phases:

1. Transanimator – turn yourself into the jackass you always wanted to be!

2. Transpoliticator – turn any Republican or Independent into a Jackass Democrat!....

Under Democrat leadership, refueling Doug’s 2014 Kia Optima would cost $14,032. Auto insurance companies claim that’s more than the worth of the vehicle, so Doug will be walking.

Explorers Discover Remote Island Untouched By Pride Month

PACIFIC OCEAN—In what experts are calling a statistical impossibility, intrepid explorers have announced the discovery of a remote island in a secluded corner of the Pacific Ocean that has been untouched by Pride Month.

This inconceivable discovery comes at a time when every infinitesimal piece of modern life has been enriched with joyous, inclusive messages urging everyone to celebrate Pride Month or else be destroyed.

"It was truly shocking to enter the island village lacking the requisite Pride parades and rainbow banners," wrote head explorer, Captain Bob Magellan (he/him), in his vellum-lined explorer's diary. "These natives seem bizarrely content and happy, despite a complete absence of the neverending deluge of LGBTQ awareness campaigns. Utterly fascinating."

Biden executive order punishes parents who don’t chop off the arms of kids who identify as T-Rex

WASHINGTON, DC–President* Joe Biden signed legislation yesterday that criminalizes parents who don’t chop off the arms of their children who identify as a T-Rex and replace them with little lizard appendages.

Biden took the brave stance against anti-trans-species bigotry prevalent in the country.

“If a child of three years old thinks they’re a Tyrannosaurus Rex, then by golly, they’re a Tyrannosaurus Rex,” Biden whispered in a press conference announcing the order.

The move fulfills a promise that then-candidate Biden made on the campaign trail:...

Chickens Hold Controversial 'Fox Story Hour' In Chicken Coop

FARMINGTON, MO—Progressive chickens at Stoodland Farms held a "Fox Storytime Hour" Friday, which some of the older hens considered controversial. During the event, various foxes were invited into the coop to read a story to the young chicks.

A number of hens were reportedly offended by the fox volunteers. "I can't believe what they're teaching our young-uns," said Pecky LeCorn. "I know there are foxes in the world, but to actually invite them into our coop to read to defensless chicks, it's uncheepable!"

Protests aside, LeCorn left her chicks in the care of the fox because she had a feathering appointment and babysitters were so hard to find. She reportedly took ....
