Joe Biden was also laundering his son's dirty money.  Hunter loves at the mansion where the illegal classified documents were located and he is supposedly paying Joe $50,000 per month to live there.  This is extremely above market rate as on the same block houses are renting for $5000 per month.  This is an easy way to launder cash back to Joe himself by paying 10 times the going rent.

Actually it was fifty dollars about of the 50k mark I heard, had it been 50k then it would have automatically been a payment that needed investigation.

An election integrity group said 10.9 million out of a total 22.1 million ballots that had been mailed out to registered voters during the 2022 midterm elections went "unaccounted for," according to a Jan. 18 report.



"Mail voting practices have an insurmountable information gap," the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) said on Monday. "The public cannot know how many ballots were disregarded, delivered to wrong mailboxes, or even withheld from the proper recipient by someone at the same address."



The watchdog released the two-page report (pdf) detailing what it called "the failures" of California's first mass-mail balloting election following the passage of Assembly Bill 37 (AB 37), which requires that ballots automatically be mailed to all active registered voters statewide. The bill, signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom in September 2021, makes vote-by-mail ballots, a practice implemented in the 2020 general election in conjunction with the COVID-19 pandemic, permanent for all elections.



California has more registered voters than any other state. Yet its vote-by-mail policies—among the nation's most expansive—have resulted in large numbers of ballots "disappearing at poll closing time," PILF's data show.



"After accounting for polling place votes and rejected ballots in November 2022, there were more than 10 million ballots left outstanding, meaning election officials do not know what happened to them," reads the Wednesday report.



"It is fair to assume that the bulk of these were ignored or ultimately thrown out by the intended recipients. But, under mass-mail elections, we can only assume what happened," it continued.



Besides the almost half unaccounted-for mail ballots, data show that 9.8 million were accepted, over 120,000 were rejected, and 1.4 million were counted from in-person voting centers.



The Golden State, which has been a Democratic stronghold for over two decades, mailed out more than 22.1 million ballots to its registered voters—nearly 47 percent Democrats and 24 percent Republicans—during the 2022 elections. A GOP victory in California on Nov. 16 granted the party slim control of the U.S. House.

Gas stoves are the latest product some people want, but the Democrats are going to take away, albeit incrementally.



Virginia Democrat Congressman Don Beyer, who is spearheading the effort to rid you of your supposed kitchen killer. A letter was sent by Rep. Donald Beyer and a coalition of House and Senate Democrats to the CPSC(Consumer Product Safety Commission) partly relied on the results of a biased "study" produced by a radical green activist organization that claimed using gas stoves exacerbates respiratory conditions and asthma in children. Despite the flimsy evidence, the letter worked!



Beyer et al. even offered some suggestions on what the CPSC regulations might look like.



For instance, they suggested requiring new gas stoves to be sold with a particular range hood. In other words, consumers could still get a gas range but only if they can also afford another very expensive accessory.



Green activists also insist that ventilation hoods vent to the outdoors to remove harmful particulates entirely from a dwelling, which would require costly home renovations for most homeowners if they want to replace a gas range. But again, you can still have a gas range.



The legislators also asked the CPSC to create a whole new set of mandatory performance standards for gas stoves. These types of standards are often used to reduce health risks associated with a product, but when no significant health risk has been proven, the standards are meant to accomplish something else.



In this case, it's to make gas stoves more expensive and therefore harder for people to purchase. Appliance manufacturers will have to undergo the expensive process of research, design and development of a whole new product to meet these new requirements. Of course, these companies won't pay. Consumers will — in the form of higher prices on the ovens they want.



Rep. Beyer and his colleagues also asked the CPSC to consider requiring labels on new gas stoves that tell you you could die using their product. So appetizing!



And of course, they want a "public education campaign" to promote the myth that gas stoves kill — a convenient deterrent to people considering the purchase of a gas stove.



CPSC has a noble goal: to keep consumers safe and store shelves stocked with quality products. But increasingly, federal agencies are being weaponized to push political agendas.



And the CPSC is particularly vulnerable to being used by radical green activists who are relentless in their mission to remove safe, affordable, and durable products from the marketplace.



Democrats and the legacy media are correct when they say no one is going to show up and rip your gas stove out of your kitchen.



But Americans are right to be worried, since policymakers are working incrementally toward limiting your choices and taking away the products people love.

It's not actually about the gas, it's about forcing everyone on mains systems and slowly strangling the population.



Early Greenies were all in on Nuclear Power until it worked too well, so they moved on.

Yet another edict to control the masses that will not affect people of privilege who support it.

We'll have constant FLIR on raised platforms as well as choppers, drones, and other aircraft monitoring heat signatures where our smart metres aren't registering any use....

Those are wood fired and so a step backwards when compared to a gas stove wrt cooking.  Sure, it is a way out of the system but over all not as good.

I recommend looking up the WEF's 15 minute cities concept.  On the surface it sounds nice, everyone will have everything they need with in 15 minutes of travel from their home, but then you realize they want to prevent you from leaving your 15 minute district more than 100 days per year.  They literally want to prevent everyone from traveling "for the environment".  Elites are special though so, of course, none of the rule will apply to them.



Oh, and don't forget that they want social credit scores/ESG scores on everyone and will use that as a weapon to suppress political opposition.

Yeah, nah, seen that already.



Not doing it.



I've made the hard decisions already if it transpires in my area.........
