If so, start hearing for a She-Hulk style 'we were trolling the whole time, H8TR!'

#4  Senator on SOTU: If Everything’s So Great, Why Is Biden So Angry?

Donald Trump Torches Joe Biden: ‘Angry as Hell, This Guy Is a PSYCHO’



MSM outlets are saying Biden delivered a "firey" SOTU speech. But in the little clips I saw it looked like he was totally unhinged. Parts of it reminded me of Hitler. It was most worrisome that during the most unhinged parts when he was talking about Putin, everybody was applauding him. I fear that when you get that many people applauding a mad man who wants war, you will get war.

Texas sues Biden administration over EPA's methane emissions rule
[JustTheNews] “The new rules will create an undue burden on regulators as well as the oil and gas industry, by forcing further emission reductions in remote, unmanned locations,” the commission said.

Texas sued the Biden administration on Friday over a rule finalized by the Environmental Protection Agency earlier in the day.

The Texas Railroad Commission, which is the state’s primary oil and gas regulator, requested in January that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) take legal action against the rule. Paxton responded on Friday with a complaint against the rule after it was finalized by the federal agency, The Hill reported.

The EPA rule was first announced in 2023, and includes additional requirements for practices like flaring and plugging leaks. The federal agency estimates that it could cut methane emissions by a maximum of 58 million tons by 2038. Methane is more potent at trapping heat in the atmosphere, despite dissipating from the atmosphere faster than carbon dioxide.

The Texas Railroad Commission said the rule is “extremely unreasonable, and time-consuming, given that there have been vast improvements with reduced methane emissions in the state.”

“The new rules will create an undue burden on regulators as well as the oil and gas industry, by forcing further emission reductions in remote, unmanned locations,” the commission added.

The EPA told The Hill that it doesn’t comment on pending litigation

Third-party Movement No Labels Says It Will field a 2024 Presidential Ticket
[Breitbart] DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The third-party presidential movement No Labels decided Friday to field a presidential candidate in the 2024 election after months of weighing the launch of a so-called "unity ticket" and discussions with several prospects.
Ross Perot did so much for us in 1992 we're going to try it all again are we ?
Delegates voted in favor of moving forward during an online convention of 800 of them from every state, said Mike Rawlings, a former Dallas mayor who is affiliated with No Labels.

No Labels was not expected to name its presidential and vice presidential nominees Friday. Instead, the group says it will announce its candidate selection process on March 14, Rawlings said in a statement.
"Liz Cheney! Step right up!"
The decision to move forward comes as a number of would-be candidates have already turned down the idea of running, including former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, who suspended her campaign for the Republican presidential nomination after former President Donald Trump won big across Tuesday’s GOP primary map.

Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan had weighed running for president under the No Labels banner but has since decided to seek the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate from his state. Retiring West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, a Democrat, has said he will not run for president.

House Speaker Mike Johnson Proves Republicans Aren't Serious About Stopping Democrats' Border Invasion
[Federalist] The catastrophe at the [U.S. southern] border is affecting everyone, and it is top of mind for all the American people. ... The first priority of the country is our border and making sure it’s secure. ... It’s a catastrophe and it must stop."

Those are the words of House Speaker Mike Johnson days before he and more than 130 House Republicans threw their voters under the bus by helping Democrats pass a massive government spending bill that included zero provisions addressing the Biden-facilitated invasion at the U.S.-Mexico border.

The $460 billion spending package advanced (339-85) by the GOP-controlled House on Wednesday partially funds Democrats’ authoritarian regime for the remainder of Joe Biden’s first term. Clocking in at 1,050 pages, the measure is reportedly stuffed with cronyist earmarks and received more support from Democrats than Republicans.

While $460 billion may not sound like much compared to the multi-trillion-dollar bills Congress normally passes, the deceptively named "minibus" is only one part of the spending binge America’s representatives intend to go on this month. According to Fox News, the six-bill package the House approved only pertains to "departments and agencies whose funding expires on Friday — Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA); the Justice and Commerce Departments; Energy and Water Development; the Department of Interior; and Transportation and Housing."

"Funding tied to Congress’ six remaining bills, which include the Department of Homeland Security and the Pentagon, expires on March 22," according to the outlet.

Trump appeals $83.3m defamation verdict in E Jean Carroll case, obtains $91.63m bond
[GEO.TV] Former US President Donald Trump
...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party...
has challenged the $83.3 million defamation verdict of E Jean Carroll case by filing an appeal with the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan, Rooters reported.

Carroll accused Trump of branding her a liar after alleging he raped her decades ago, leading to the jury's decision on January 26.

Trump obtained a $91.63 million bond from Federal Insurance Co to support the appeal that revolves around the Manhattan jury's finding in June 2019 that Trump defamed Carroll by denying her rape accusation from the mid-1990s.

Carroll was granted $18.3 million by the jury in compensatory damages, including $11 million for harm to her reputation and $7.3 million for emotional harm, along with $65 million in punitive damages. Trump argues that he should either owe nothing or that the awarded sums should be significantly reduced.

In addition to this case, Trump is facing a $454.2 million verdict in a civil fraud case, offering a $100 million bond, which New York Attorney General Letitia James insists should cover the entire judgment.

US District Judge Lewis Kaplan, overseeing Carroll's trial, has yet to rule on Trump's motions for a new trial and a reduction in damages.

Trump's legal team contends that Kaplan's decision to exclude Trump's testimony on his state of mind impacted the verdict, and the jury instructions on malice were flawed.

The prolonged appeals process may span several years, with both Trump and Carroll in their 70s.

  • Trump posted 110% of the amount after insurance firm underwrote cost

  • A judge ordered him to pay the judgement pending his appeal
