Oh Canada. Canada Pension Plan Investment Board invests $300 million into fossil fuels.

Does my heart good to see our friends to the north will invest $300 million to a company that is drilling for oil and natural gas in my backyard. Encino Acquisition Partners LLC has secured a $300 million equity investment commitment from the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board to support the energy firm’s accelerated development of the oil play in Ohio’s Utica/Point Pleasant shale region, the company said.

The energy company has emerged as the largest oil producer in Ohio – its 78 wells across the state in 2023 produced 13.8 million barrels in 2023, or approximately half of total production.

Last year witnessed a dramatic leap in overall oil production statewide, according to ODNR. In 2023, horizontal wells across Ohio produced 27.7 million barrels of oil, a 41% increase from the 19.6 million barrels produced in 2022 and a nearly 70% increase from the 16.4 million barrels produced in 2021.

The National debt is rising by $1 trillion about every 100 days. No kidding.

The National debt is rising by $1 trillion about every 100 days. No Kidding.You know you’re in trouble when CNBC says Biden is spending like a drunken sailor. Every 100 days we go deeper into debt.

What’s unbelievable is that every month this first quarter the revenues grew. So did you pay the bills? No he spent more than we brought in.

Trump had around 7 trillion in debt. 3 trillion because of COVID. Remember a Democrat House and Senate passed that spending . Biden after three years? The national debt has grown by over $6.24 trillion since Biden took office in 2021. Also no COVID pandemic since he had three vaccines he claimed were life savers. Tell that to the million plus folks who died under Joe’s watch.

Energy costs up 30%. So what does Biden do? Raises them even more. With all that’s been done to this country and our economy, the Biden administration now thinks that going after light bulbs will save the world?

The Biden administration is now taking aim at lightbulbs as part of its climate agenda, announcing Friday new efficiency standards that will “slash harmful greenhouse gas pollution” and set levels that can only be met by LED bulbs.

Failed in Afghanistan, Failed at the border. Failed with Iran. And failed big time with the economy. So what’s left? The only good news is that this takes effect in 2028 and these folks will be long gone by then.

I told you so. California Unions demands $20.00 an hour for all folks on the bottom.

I told you so. California Unions demands $20.00 an hour for all folks on the bottom.

They didn’t even wait for the ink to dry. So now the Unions are demanding that everyone gets paid a minimum of $$20.00 an hour. So, a person who gets hired tomorrow gets $20. A person who has been an employee for say 2 years, they get $20.

Across California, labor groups are calling for a $20 minimum wage for all workers. Ahead of the law coming into effect, restaurant owners and other industry insiders warned that the law would be detrimental to small businesses and consumers. Told you so.

So what does the loon say who supports this madness? “Frankly, inflation has already happened, and many prices have already gone up. Grocery store prices have already gone up. And so, it’s not a matter of we can’t raise wages anymore because prices might go up,” she said.

“Prices have already gone up. If we don’t keep wages in step with the rising cost of living, either workers will leave the state or these other horrible things happen.”

Yes Virginia there were 300,000 new jobs. Part-Time and foreign born workers.

Americans losing jobs.

Yes Virginia there were 300,000 new jobs. Part-Time and foreign born workers. So the MSM and the fanatics on the left are rejoicing about the jobs report. A report that states new jobs are mostly part time and foreign workers including the undocumented are benefitting. Also more people under Bidenomics are working two jobs.

This from CNBC.

Gains tilted heavily to part-time workers in the household survey. Full-time workers fell by 6,000, while part-timers increased by 691,000. Multiple job holders rose by 217,000, to 5.2% of the total employment level.

Biden strikes again. Calif.-based 99 Cents Only Stores Closing, Citing COVID, Inflation, Theft. Well Joe’s at it again. His economy is forcing stores to close and put thousands of folks out of work.

Not only is a convience chain in California closing all 371 of its stores, but Family Dollar will close 970 stores and Dollar Tree will close 30 stores.

One thing that’s common in both closings is that most are in neighborhoods that don’t have a grocery store. So folks were forced to buy what limited food items they had at a higher cost. Now that is gone.

Good news for Republicans the past week or so.

Good news for Republicans the past week or so.

We had a few victories in both the courts and with the state legislators the past 7-10 days. Remember it’s the legislators and not the Secretary of State who make the laws.

In Florida. Judge Cannon spurned Smith’s demand that she quickly decide whether the personal documents claim will be relevant to the trial, saying making a decision at this stage would be “unprecedented and unjust”.

In New Mexico, a judge ruled in favor of an election integrity group — and also rebuked the state’s Democrat election officials for violating public disclosure rules pertaining to its voter rolls.

Wisconsin voters approved two amendments to the state’s constitution — making sure that private money to fund elections will be banned and that only election officials can administer elections.

Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen called on state lawmakers to pass measure LB764 to make the state’s electoral votes into a winner-take-all scenario.

Georgia — where the Georgia General Assembly actually passed three election integrity bills last Thursday.

The three bills — SB189, HB974, and HB1207 — ban unverifiable QR-coded voting and also require improved ballot chain of custody procedures to stop ballot fraud. They also mandate visible watermarks on all ballots to stop fake ballots.

On bill, SB189, mandates that all physical ballots are subject to Georgia Open Records law. The bills contain many more details to improve Georgia’s elections.

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday blocked Biden’s plan to cancel loans for borrowers who claim they were victims of ‘misleading information’ by colleges.

Yes Virginia 500,000 left Florida, but a million moved there. I saw somewhere where someone tried to say how horrible Florida was and 500,000 folks left.

What was left out was this. one million folks moved there. So to me that’s a win win for Florida. Since the Obama- Biden Pandemic, no state has grown the way Florida has.

Florida, which has long attracted new residents thanks to its beaches and absence of state income tax, is getting an economic boost driven by young Americans seeking new opportunities. While the state benefits from this influx, it also faces challenges such as increased living costs that are sometimes less obvious, and it could hurt the residents and the state in the long run.

Florida’s population jumped by 1.9% from 2021 to 2022, with a net gain of 417,000 new residents, making it the fastest-growing state in the country. What’s more, an analysis of Census Bureau data published by Smart Asset in November indicated the state had become one of the “hot spots” for millennials. And more people may be looking to move there: A March 2023 report from the real-estate outlet RedFin found that Florida dominated the list of the cities Americans want to move to the most.

  • People are moving to Florida in record numbers, and not just retirees.
  • Young people are being lured by the weather, a lack of state income tax, and more job opportunities.

What did you think would happen? Restaurants in California laying off people.

Huge increases and layoffs.

Visits: 20

What did you think would happen? Restaurants in California laying off people. Come April 1st, the restaurant minimum wage goes up to $20.00 an hour. Just last year state minimum went to $16.00 an hour.

Yes this is for large chain restaurants, but it effects small business outside of the restaurant industry. Folks will demand the same $20.00 an hour. How are the large chains reacting? Higher prices, layoffs, and reduced hours. There is a group fighting this.

The “Save Local Restaurants” coalition has been vocal in its opposition to the FAST Recovery Act in California. This law, which could set the fast food minimum wage as high as $22 an hour next year, has drawn criticism from the fast-food industry. The coalition includes a mix of stakeholders, such as small business owners, restaurant owners, franchisees, employees, consumers, and community-based organizations. Notable contributors to this coalition include Burger King, McDonald’s, and KFC owner Yum Brands. They argue that the law unfairly targets their industry and could lead to higher labor costs and menu price increases. In response to the Act’s passage, the coalition filed a voter referendum seeking to repeal the legislation2. The legislation applies to fast food restaurants with more than 100 locations nationwide.

The FAST Recovery Act aims to establish sectorwide minimum standards on wages, working hours, and other working conditions related to the health, safety, and welfare of fast food restaurant workers. Labor unions pushed for the creation of a Fast Food Council to address the challenges faced by fast food workers, who are often part of a disempowered workforce with a history of low wages and limited worker protections.
