History of the new president of the NRA, Bob Barr: 

• Left Congress more than 20 years ago, losing in 2002. 
• Former Georgia GOP member. 
• Served in CIA and DOJ before winning House seat in 1994. 
• Ran for president as a Libertarian in 2008. 
• Ran for Congress again in 2014 but was not elected. 

He seems kind of all over the map, and he was hte hand-picked candidate of the nominating committee. The assumption is, that's who they want in for this job. 

I'm honestly not impressed, especially as he ran as a Libertarian candidate.

TIME: Florida Made It Difficult for a Man to Get an Abortion

This is a terribly written article, because the salient facts are: 

• The woman pretending to be a man had discovered she was pregnant at 12 weeks. 
• She had been taking testosterone therapy for six months

It does point out she only had 3 weeks to get said abortion because of Florida's law, but also rightly notes that if she had practiced birth control, she wouldn't have been in this mess. But that would have meant admitting she was a woman.

Or is this a case where she thought the testosterone would prevent ovulation? Because it won't; women do produce small amounts of testosterone naturally.

Compare and contrast with this Chinese robot, which does even creepier stuff. (Click the Video button see the action.) This is the same company putting rifles on their robot dogs.

I think they don't. I'm pretty sure any of these videos that we see aren't being broadcast anywhere on national TV or cable TV. It's only being shared via media that the Left can't control--or at least, they can't control it yet. I have no doubt that they are working feverishly to enforce more restrictions on all the tech platforms in the lead to the election in the interest of "national security."

Joe also said yesterday that... he was Jewish, or something.  (I'll look for it.)

Biden continues working to destroy the US, entry #1,111,24--SlashDot quotes the Washington Post:

 [The Biden Administration] will end new coal leasing in the Powder River Basin, "which produces nearly half the coal in the United States... 

"It could prevent billions of tons of coal from being extracted from more than 13 million acres across Montana and Wyoming, with major implications for U.S. climate goals."A significant share of the nation's fossil fuels come from federal lands and waters. The extraction and combustion of these fuels accounted for nearly a quarter of U.S. carbon dioxide emissions between 2005 and 2014, according to a study by the U.S. Geological Survey. In a final environmental impact statement released Thursday, Interior's Bureau of Land Management found that continued coal leasing in the Powder River Basin would harm the climate and public health. The bureau determined that no future coal leasing should happen in the basin, and it estimated that coal mining in the Wyoming portion of the region would end by 2041.

Last year, the Powder River Basin generated 251.9 million tons of coal, accounting for nearly 44 percent of all coal produced in the United States. Under the bureau's determination, the 14 active coal mines in the Powder River Basin can continue operating on lands they have leased, but they cannot expand onto other public lands in the region... "This means that billions of tons of coal won't be burned, compared to business as usual," said Shiloh Hernandez, a senior attorney at the environmental law firm Earthjustice. "It's good news, and it's really the only defensible decision the BLM could have made, given the current climate crisis...."

The United States is moving away from coal, which has struggled to compete economically with cheaper gas and renewable energy. U.S. coal output tumbled 36 percent from 2015 to 2023, according to the Energy Information Administration. The Sierra Club's Beyond Coal campaign estimates that 382 coal-fired power plants have closed down or proposed to retire, with 148 remaining. In addition, the Environmental Protection Agency finalized an ambitious set of rules in April aimed at slashing air pollution, water pollution and planet-warming emissions spewing from the nation's power plants. One of the most significant rules will push all existing coal plants by 2039 to either close or capture 90 percent of their carbon dioxide emissions at the smokestack.

"The nation's electricity generation needs are being met increasingly by wind, solar and natural gas," said Tom Sanzillo, director of financial analysis at the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis, an energy think tank. "The nation doesn't need any increase in the amount of coal under lease out of the Powder River Basin."

Emphasis mine. Let's just destroy the US' ability to generate electricity at all, and call that winning!

Biden regime "officially" expresses condolences for death of the Butcher of Tehran.

Because of course they do.

But it's not really official without a pallet or three of condolence cash, amirite?

As I've said in the past, Libertarians are the "transgenders" of politics.  They "identify as" conservatives, but they keep their Leftist junk.
