People are absolutely ‘livid’ about this deceptive new Tennessee law: ‘Name it what it is, bribery’: In April, Tennessee adopted a law that requires the state government to consider planet-overheating methane gas a “clean” energy source, Heated reports. Methane gas, sometimes called natural gas, which is mostly methane but contains other gases, is an energy source similar to oil and coal. Burning natural gas creates air pollution and heat-trapping gases, including carbon dioxide (CO2), though relatively less than oil or coal.

This is a stop-gap way to get them bombs fast while we work on resupplying them with better weapons.

No health-insurance choice for YOU! Democrats despise the thought of Americans making their own decisions on health insurance, so President Joe Biden is moving to crush the short-term, limited policies that 1.5 million of us now choose. That is, he’s rolling back Trump-era regulations that undid Obama rules to allow this choice. These are less-pricey, customizable policies that Democrats call “junk insurance” because it comes without the bells and whistles they deem necessary.
