There's always more to a Bill than what We The People are told. Most Americans don't have time to read every word of every new Bill / law, and our "representatives" take advantage of that.

Recent major legislation such as the CHIPS and Science Act and the Inflation Reduction Act fuel expansive and expansive rulemakings. This dynamic enables agencies to subsequently implement substantial policy changes without direct congressional oversight, often bypassing notice-and-comment rules with informal guidance, policy statements, memoranda and other forms of regulatory dark matter,” according to regulatory watchdog Clyde Wayne Crews of the Competitive Enterprise Institute.

Crews, at the end of each year, compiles a report on the laws Congress approves and compares it to the rules and regulations bureaucracies turn those laws into.

Some new laws are simple. But many are complicated, and agencies spit out lists of regulations that bureaucrats believe are needed to fulfill what they think Congress wanted.

This shit needs to STOP! Members of Congress made staggering gains with their stock portfolios in industries where they wield legislative power and influence, such as tech and energy.

More than 20 members made almost double the S&P500 average gain of 24.9 percent last year. The top five performers — Rep. David Rouzer (R-NC), Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), Ron Wyden (D-OR), Roger Williams (R-TX), Morgan McGarvey (D-KY) — increased the value of their portfolio value by more than 100 percent, according to a new report.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has become a lightning rod for anger over lawmakers trading in stocks in recent years and has, according to the report, “an almost cult-like following for her financial disclosures,” saw the value of her household’s portfolio rise by 71 percent.

The report comes as several bipartisan measures aimed at banning the trading of stocks of individual companies by members of Congress appear to have stalled, despite overwhelming public support. A total of 11 bills have been proposed by lawmakers since 2022, but none have made it to a vote.

State lawmakers push to ban practice that opposition labels a conspiracy theory: Claims of 'mass sterilization or mind control.'

When world events become increasingly difficult to explain, it's not surprising when conspiracy theories that offer seemingly plausible reasoning take hold among the population.

One of those conspiracy theories concerns chemtrails. Believers suggest that the white lines left in the sky by aircraft are from the spraying of toxic chemicals like bioavailable aluminum by planes over the Earth.

That hasn't stopped supposed chemtrails from becoming a government issue. In Tennessee, a ban on geoengineering practices such as chemtrails and cloud seeding has been pushed forward, per NBC, while Florida has also introduced a bill to ban weather modification.

I'd hate to see what being unprepared would look like!FEMA administrator: L.A. officials were "prepared" for wildfires given historic winds.

Communities in Los Angeles have been engulfed in wildfires in recent days, which have killed at least 16 people, destroyed more than 12,000 structures, and displaced thousands, officials said. The high winds that fanned flames in recent days are expected to pick up again this week.

The FEMA administrator said she doesn't have any information on the cause of the wildfires at this time, though she noted that will be investigated. She urged as the winds are expected to return; she wants people to "make sure that they are listening closely to what local officials are saying" to stay out of harm's way.

Klobuchar Faces Fact-Check Over Jan. 6 Claims. Maybe she's really that clueless…

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) has fallen under scrutiny for her recent claims regarding the Capitol riot of January 6, 2021. Klobuchar wrote, "Four years ago, the electoral vote certification was interrupted by a violent mob. Police officers were injured and killed." However, a "Community Note" from X clarified that no officers were killed during the riot. The note referenced findings from the District of Columbia's Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, stating that Officer Brian Sicknick died of natural causes the day after the riot. Four other officers later died by suicide, but those deaths were not directly tied to January 6.

LAFD’s $300K-per-year diversity chief sparks fury for defending DEI by blaming the victim: ‘He got himself in the wrong place’.

As Los Angeles battles its worst fire in history, fire department’s highly-paid diversity head is facing an inferno of backlash after a bizarre comment surfaced in which she appears defend DEI hiring by blaming victims.

Our long national Biden nightmare is almost over. Trump Invictus is now liberated.

A combination of two self-evident truths. Joe Biden’s inept administration proved an ungodly disaster, not just for America but for the West as well, which looked abroad for a stronger America but found it weaker. And second, Trump Invictus is now liberated—"In the fell clutch of circumstance/I have not winced nor cried aloud, /Under the bludgeonings of chance/My head is bloody, but unbowed."

He is without worry over another election, or a discredited and defanged media ("so doves do peck the falcon's piercing talons"), much less a third Nancy-Pelosi-contrived impeachment. Instead, he stalks indomitable, after failed de-balloting capers, failed lawfare vendettas, and two failed assassination attempts.
