Ah yes. Weather is racist, like everything else.
Looks like Manchin is a lame duck Democrat. With a dem president, the EPA is now free to crush coal and coal plants. He just flushed West Virginia down the toilet.

Diabolical: Democrats Inserted Provision Into "Inflation Reduction Act" Giving EPA Right to Control Carbon Dioxide -- Which the Supreme Court Had Just Ruled It Did Not Have the Right to Regulate
—Ace
The Supreme Court found that the EPA had no right to regulate carbon dioxide for the simple reason that Congress had never specified it had that power, and that power could not be "inferred" from the list of things it was given the right to regulate.
So guess what the Democrats snuck into the bill that no one had the chance to read?
Did Joe Manchin, hailing from a coal-mining state, know about this? Did he sell out his constituents, or was he just too stupid to notice they were taking him for a ride?
When the Supreme Court restricted the ability of the Environmental Protection Agency to fight climate change this year, the reason it gave was that Congress had never granted the agency the broad authority to shift America away from burning fossil fuels.
Now it has.
Throughout the landmark climate law, passed this month, is language written specifically to address the Supreme Court's justification for reining in the E.P.A., a ruling that was one of the court's most consequential of the term. The new law amends the Clean Air Act, the country's bedrock air-quality legislation, to define the carbon dioxide produced by the burning of fossil fuels as an "air pollutant."
That language, according to legal experts as well as the Democrats who worked it into the legislation, explicitly gives the E.P.A. the authority to regulate greenhouse gases and to use its power to push the adoption of wind, solar and other renewable energy sources.
"The language, we think, makes pretty clear that greenhouse gases are pollutants under the Clean Air Act," said Senator Tom Carper, the Delaware Democrat who led the movement to revise the law. With the new law, he added, there are "no ifs, ands or buts" that Congress has told federal agencies to tackle carbon dioxide, methane and other heat-trapping emissions from power plants, automobiles and oil wells.
This month, in the hours before the bill passed the Senate, Republicans waged a last-minute, mostly unsuccessful predawn battle to remove the language from the legislation. Later that day, the Senate approved the climate-and-tax bill by a vote of 51 to 50, along party lines, with Vice President Kamala Harris casting the tiebreaking vote.
So Manchin did know about it -- and he specifically voted to keep the provision in the law.
This is a huge provision. The EPA now has the right to make rules -- without the need for additional Congressional authorization -- about how much carbon dioxide any carbon-dioxide-producing engine or factory is allowed to produce.
And Joe Manchin made it happen.

What’s the Endgame?
As the war drags on with no end in sight, there’s also no end in sight to the flow of U.S. aid to Ukraine. It’s an open-ended commitment with no clearly defined objective.
Both the Democratic and Republican parties support the spending, except for a minority who are vilified as Putin stooges and apologists.
Supporters talk about standing up for democracy, but Ukraine is a corrupt oligarchy that’s just about as corrupt as Russia. It’s far from a model democracy.
But the aid’s for a good cause, they say. We’re helping defeat aggression and assisting a weaker nation stand up against a much stronger attacker.
Well, that’s fine, but there’s little to no oversight to supervise the transfers. Where’s the U.S. aid to Ukraine going?
The aid is being stolen off the top or diverted to corrupt officials. Goods are often stolen and resold on the black market. Weapons are also sold on the black market. In all, very limited amounts of aid are actually going to the war effort.
Massive Corruption
One Ukrainian volunteer fighting in the Donbas has said:
In Ukraine, people cheat each other even in war. I’ve watched the medical supplies donated to us being taken away. The cars that drove us to our position were stolen. And we have not been replaced with new soldiers in three months, though we should have been relieved three times by now…
If I had known how much deception there was in this army, and how everything would be for us, I never would have joined. I want to go home, but if I flee, I face prison.
Here’s what a Ukrainian journalist has to say:
The corruption related to the war aid is shocking. The weapons are stolen, the humanitarian aid is stolen and we have no idea where the billions sent to this country have gone.
Of course, your tax money is paying for this swindle.
Wartime Sacrifice?
Here’s an idea of where at least some of the billions have gone. Last month, the Ukrainian parliament voted to give itself a 70% pay raise, while the army is collapsing and the Ukrainian people are suffering.

Armstrong and Getty were reading some excerpts from the journal of a Russian soldier. Absolutely horrible stuff. The Russian military in absolute disarray from day one. Soldiers shooting themselves to get the hell out of there. The Russian gov't pays them for getting wounded. Poor, outdated, rusty equipment and weapons. Soldiers w/o camo and helmets. An absolute shitshow. Commanders scared shitless with no idea what the plan is.
Then the killing of Ukraine civilians by some who seemed to enjoy it. Brutal stuff. They had to steal food to survive they're so poorly supplied. He was eventually wounded and ended up in a hospital. Now refuses to fight in a War he says is unjust and unnecessary. He's releasing his journal for all to read.
This is where our tax dollars are going. We have GD fools running this country right now.

Foreign wars, huge "foreign aid & defense" expenditures to prop up shitty, corrupt governments that hate us and laugh at us behind our backs.
Everything Trump was against and putting and end to. Orange Man Bad.

How much stock does Pelosi's drunk husband own in Northrup Grumman and Raytheon, anyway?
