Looking. Biden Touts U.S. Building World’s Largest Solar Plant — in Angola.
President Joe Biden is bragging that his administration is building one of the world’s largest solar plants, not in the United States but rather in the Central African nation of Angola.
“You know, soon — soon, Africa will have one billion people,” Biden said during remarks at the League of Conservation Voters Annual Capital Dinner. Despite Biden’s claim, Africa’s population hit one billion residents in 2009 when he was vice president in the Obama administration.
“We have plans to build … in Angola one of the largest solar plants in the world,” Biden bragged. “I can go on, but I’m not.”
Indeed, earlier this month, the U.S. Export-Import Bank announced a $900 million direct loan to Angola “to support the construction of two photovoltaic solar energy power plants in the country,” officials said.

The massive multi-million project comes as, last year, Biden decided to exempt foreign-made bifacial solar panels — the overwhelming majority of which come from China — from Section 201 tariffs on solar imports to the U.S. that were first imposed by former President Trump in January 2018 at a 30 percent rate.
After that decision, LG Electronics announced that it will be closing its Huntsville, Alabama, solar panel manufacturing plant — resulting in more than 200 Americans being laid off.
In addition, Biden has continuously sided with Chinese solar manufacturers by imposing a tariff moratorium on solar panel imports from Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia even as his Commerce Department has said that the panels are made in China but have been routed through the four southeast Asian nations to avoid U.S. tariffs.
Robert Bowers was found guilty on Friday (6/16) on all counts in the 2018 mass shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue that killed 11 worshippers.
Bowers was convicted on all 63 charges, including 11 counts of hate crimes resulting in death. Bowers offered to plead guilty if the death penalty was taken off the table, but prosecutors turned him down.
The jury deliberated for less than one day. Jurors will next weigh if Bowers should be sentenced to death.
Bowers stormed the Tree of Life synagogue on Oct. 27, 2018, gunning down 11 people in the deadliest antisemitic attack in American history. Bowers allegedly told investigators after his arrest that he wanted to kill Jewish people, according to a criminal complaint.
Prosecutors said Bowers, armed with a semi-automatic assault-style rifle and three handguns, moved “methodically” through the synagogue and shot many of his victims at close range.
In opening statements in May, defense attorney Judy Clarke admitted that Bowers was the shooter and said he “shot every person he saw … and injured first responders who came to their rescue.”
“There will be no question that this was a planned act and that he killed 11 people,” Clarke said, but she asked the jurors to “scrutinize his intent.”
The jury, comprised of 11 women and seven men, included an intensive care nurse, a new father and a veteran.
The penalty phase is set to begin June 26.
Looking. Episode 4 the Tucker article. Well Tucker is out with another great Twitter article. He doesn’t mess around and gives it to old Joe.
Producer fired for this.
Short snip it of what Tucker had to say.
“On Tuesday afternoon, the Biden administration had Donald Trump arrested. It was a pretty big news story. You may have seen it just before 09:00 p.m. That night. As part of its coverage, Fox News ran two live video feeds next to one another. On the right, Donald Trump addressed his supporters in New Jersey. On the left, Joe Biden spoke at an event for the Secretary General of NATO in Washington. Beneath those videos, at the bottom of the screen, Fox’s banner read this way quote wannabe dictator speaks at the White House after having his political rival arrested. Those words were up for less than 30 seconds, but the effect was immediate,” Tucker said.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) took in Disneyland’s After Dark: Pride Nite Tuesday and shared his experience with followers across social media.
“Great to be at Disneyland’s first ever Pride Night,” Newsom, a suspected 2024 Democratic hopeful, tweeted.
Newsom posted a clip of himself taking in the fireworks over the park’s iconic Sleeping Beauty Castle with a rainbow cascading in the background.

The California park is hosting what is being touted as its official LGBT “Pride Nite” festivities from June 13 to June 15, Disney posted to social media.

This will be its first after-hours event in celebration of pride, according to the park.
“Disneyland Park will host the first ever Disneyland After Dark: Pride Nite during a separately ticketed evening event,” a statement from Disney announcing the event read. “Guests can enjoy special after-hours park access to shorter attraction wait times, special entertainment, Character experiences, photo opportunities and much more!”
From 9:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m., visitors will be able to partake in dance parties with their favorite Disney characters in “special attire” amid “pride-themed backdrops,” according to park officials.
Following his post, Newsom was hammered with tweets criticizing his areas of focus as governor.

This event certainly is no “E-ticket!”
Looking. GOP Congressman Stuns Woke Chief. I want to thank GP for this great article.
There is no more useless position in American society than the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) positions ubiquitous throughout corporate America and government. One GOP Congressman expertly exposed this truism this week.
Rep Brian Mast (R-FL) on Tuesday queried Gina Abercrombie-Winstanley, the Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer at the Joe Biden’s State Department, regarding how these worthless diversity initiatives are put into practice when hiring.
The congressman first asked Abercrombie-Winstanley if being bald made someone a more qualified diplomat. The woke DEI officer chuckled and responded: “Not that I know of.”
Mast then asked if being 5’8″ (Mast’s height) or 6″3 made someone a better diplomat Abercrombie-Winstanley answered: “no, I don’t believe so.”
Looking. No Rachel you’re not a news organization but an outlet for racism, bigotry, and hate speech. The other day Maddow spoke about MSNBC being a news organization and it would taint their view of the news. Funny that she would say that.
MSNBC thought it news to cover the court proceedings and charges against the former President, but found it not news worthy to cover his response. Remember that this is the same loon who carried on for what? Years about a Russian connection between Trump and the Russians. I rest my case.
Rachel Maddow alerts viewers that newly indicted ex-president Donald Trump has begun an address to supporters at his Bedminster golf club but in light of the expectation that the speech will be a “litany of lies and false accusations” MSNBC will not broadcast the speech live but will instead report any news that comes from it.

Looking. How funny is this? Weissmann of all people has a back up plan to get Trump. What’s this clown famous for?
Weissmann was involved in FBI activities with the mob in New York in the 1990s. He was a key member of the Enron Task Force in the early 2000s and also was involved in the sale of Uranium One under Obama.
And of course he led the Russian collusion fiasco for Mueller. How’d that turn out? Well he’s got another scheme.
Seems as if he thinks Smith may not win in Florida. So bring up more federal charges in New Jersey. It never ends.
Thanks Breitbart.
FBI Deputy Director Admits Redacting Mention of Joe and Hunter Biden Recordings in Document Shown to Congress.
FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate admitted during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday that the FBI redacted any mention of audio recordings of Joe and Hunter Biden in a document shown last week to Republican lawmakers in which an FBI informant alleged the Bidens were involved in a bribery scheme around 2015 and 2016.
Under grilling from Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Abbate confirmed: “What I will tell you with respect to the document, the document was redacted to protect the source.”
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) on Monday revealed that the document, which was a transcript of an FBI interview with an informant, contained references to 17 alleged audio recordings — 15 with Hunter Biden and two with then-Vice President Joe Biden. However, Grassley said, when the document was made available to the House Oversight Committee last week under pressure from Republicans, the references to the audio recordings had been deleted.
Grassley pointed out that the document is an unclassified document and should not be redacted, let alone need to be viewed in a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility, which the FBI made lawmakers do.
Abbate had at first tried to skirt the question, with Blackburn asking him several times to explain why the information was redacted.
After he finally responded, she told him.
I think it would be helpful when you came before us, if you were willing to answer the questions, it would help to remove the perception that the American people have — they see you do it everyday — and that is politicizing the FBI and using it against the American people who don’t happen to be named Biden, Clinton, or one of the elites.
Abbate also denied that the FBI was politicized, which Blackburn disagreed with.
“There are two very clear standards of justice in this country. We see it every single day. The American people see this every single day. They look at you and see a politicized entity that is weaponizing an agency of the federal government against the American people,” she told him.
