On one of the hands, this is good because it means our next war will be in the desert where we can use tanks and stuff. I mean, there is no way we'd send troops into a country with the utterly wrong camo pattern, amirite?
[GEO.TV] US media reported Monday that North Dakota Doug Larsen, his wife and two young children could not survive a plane crash that occurred in Utah as the family was heading home after paying relatives a visit.
The Republican senator's death was confirmed by his fellow politician and Majority Leader David Hogue which was widely quoted in media reports.
The plane was piloted by Doug Larsen which crashed Sunday evening after he took off from Canyonlands Airfield about 15 miles north of Moab.
Grand County Sheriff's Department statement posted on Facebook saying all four people on board the plane were killed.
On Monday, the sheriff's department noted: "The county's dispatch center received a report of an isolated incident involving a single aircraft taking off from the Canyonlands Regional Airport and then crashing into the ground."

[FoxNews] Utility company will request rate increase on Kansan's energy bills to help provide EV factory with power
A Kansas energy provider paused plans to transition away from coal power and will try to raise its rates to meet the energy demands of a new, $4 billion electric vehicle (EV) battery manufacturing factory.
"Evergy is doubling down on costly, dirty coal and asking Kansans to foot the bill," Ty Gorman, a campaign representative for the Sierra Club Beyond Coal Campaign, wrote in April. "Evergy’s business decisions have squandered tens of millions of dollars on coal, causing an estimated 18 premature deaths annually and disproportionately harming Black and LatinX communities."
Last year, Panasonic Energy broke ground on a 4 million-square-foot EV project in De Soto, Kansas, one of the largest facilities of its kind in the U.S. To meet energy demands, Evergy, the utility company serving the factory, will continue burning coal at part of its nearby Lawrence Energy Center until at least 2028, delaying plans to transition to natural gas by the end of the year.
Additionally, to help pay for the infrastructure required to meet Panasonic’s anticipated electricity demand, Evergy plans to ask the Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC) for a rate increase on residential customers’ energy bills in parts of the state, according to The Kansas City Star.
Before these moves drew criticism from environmental advocates and Kansas officials, the project was touted as a huge win for the state.
"This project will be transformative for our state’s economy, providing in total 8,000 high-quality jobs that will help more Kansans create better lives for themselves and their children," Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly said when the project was announced in July 2022. "Winning this project shows that Kansas has what it takes to compete on a global scale — and that our pro-business climate is driving the technological innovation needed to achieve a more prosperous and sustainable future."
The EV factory will require between 200 and 250 megawatts of electricity to operate, around the amount needed to power a small city, The Kansas City Star reported.
And how much power will be needed to recharge those batteries for the next decade or more, once they are sent into the economy? Will coal power continue to be necessary even if it does result in an extra 18 deaths per year?

So, they planned to build this facility when there was no electric infrastucture available to support it. Sounds like federal "incentive" money at work.

This is all a big cock up, but Sierra Club can piss off.

"...causing an estimated 18 premature deaths annually " More Linear No-Threshold Study horse puckey? I dare them to show a single fatality that they can link to it, just one!
[RedState] "FYI...Henry Cuellar was just carjacked in front of our building (the dorm) by 3-4 men at gun point. They took his car, phone and sushi but he is ok."
"I know I have let my guard down when I walked home but we need to all be aware," the member of Congress wrote in the group chat, which was relayed to The Messenger.

"...by 3-4 men at gun point"
Did any else also notice the lack of detail descriptions of the car jacking Thugs.
Nothing new. The same no details description was used when Rep. Angie Craig of Minnesota was assaulted at the same location by Kendrid Khalil Hamlin (26). Who later pleaded guilty to charges of assaulting a member of Congress .
If a few more DC Swamp Democrat's get to experience what the rest of the US Honest Citizens are dealing with. Maybe they stop the stupid talk of greater Gun Control laws applied the Honest Citizens, and pass heavier sentences for those using a Firearm to commit armed robberies.

When the MSM and DC Swamp use the term "assaulting a member of Congress" isn't it more like they are claiming NFL level physical contact, when its more like a Soccer hurt feeling penalty?

------------ He also asked for someone to coordinate policy at the Border, apparently not realizing, or ignoring the fact, that Kamala Harris was supposed to be doing this.
Absolutely amazing how quickly Democratic governors and mayors went from "The Statue of Liberty weeps at those who want to limit immigration -- this is not who we are" to "Biden must do more to stop immigrants immediately!" as soon as it was their towns and state affected. https://t.co/uI0TcqHG7F

^That was before he found out that Juan & Rosalita won't work as his gardener & maid for $3 per hour. And they're definitely not leaving little Juanita alone with him.

Wiki cite:
Speaker pro tempore
Under the current Rules of the House, the speaker is required to create a secret ordered list of members to temporarily serve as speaker of the House if the speakership became vacant,[20] and to provide the Clerk of the United States House of Representatives this list upon taking office.[21] The names are only revealed in the event of a vacancy (e.g., by the speaker's death, resignation, incapacitation, or removal from office).[20][22] This "succession list" procedure was created in 2003,[23] following the September 11, 2001 attacks, to promote continuity of government.[22] Rule I, clause 8 of the House Rules states the member whose name appears first on the list "shall act as Speaker pro tempore until the election of a Speaker or a Speaker pro tempore."[23][a]
Following the removal of Kevin McCarthy as speaker in October 2023 on a motion to vacate (the first time in history that a speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives was successfully removed by the House), Patrick McHenry was revealed to be the first name on McCarthy's list, and became acting speaker.[23][22] The intent of the rule was for the speaker pro tempore to serve for a short period, until the House elected a new speaker, but the House rules set no specific limit on the length of time that a member may be speaker pro tempore.[23]

He obviously promised things he couldn't deliver to the far right of the party. he had to know that was going to be a problem down the road.
Most of our problems in this country are that our politicians are venal, dishonest and only thinking about their own interests in the immediate term.
Meanwhile, the left plays a long game.

Strip the mask off the UniParty. They were never Republicans but Liberals who moved into the party because the radical socialist took over their old one.

I seem to recall Gaetz had a tangle with the Feds over an underage lady. One in which he tried to implicate Carlson in an akward interview moment. Seems someone made that go away. Makes me wonder who benefits.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
