Texas Needs Another Ann Richards, When She Saw BS, She Called It Out.

Texas power outages falling amid drinking water shortage following winter storm devastation

The number of people in Texas without running, drinkable water dwarfed the number of homes and businesses without power Friday morning as the state ...

The original quote was about George H W Bush Ann Richards made at the Democratic National Convention in 1988: 'Poor George, he can't help it. He was born with a silver foot in his mouth.'

His son, George W. Bush defeated Ann Richards' re election for governor of Texas in 1995. He went ahead in the polls after rumors were spread that Richards was a lesbian.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis Should Be Investigated As Vigorously As NY Gov. Cuomo Is Being Investigated. Just Imagine If He Called Off Spring Break in 2020.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is already positioning himself as one of these post-pandemic White House hopefuls. The basic gist of the story is that while DeSantis, just 42 years old and still in his first term, formerly “drew national scorn for his stewardship of Florida’s Covid-19 response,” his “resistance to restrictive measures” like mask mandates and the blowback he got for being “divorced from science” has now “strengthened” his standing “among the GOP grassroots and elites heading into his 2022 reelection” — and even inspired “conservative chatter nationwide about a presidential bid.”

Finally, The USA Is Back In The Saddle Again!

The United States officially returned to the Paris global climate accord on Friday, and President Joe Biden and other U.S. leaders declared the nation could not afford to sideline the growing climate crisis again.

“We can no longer delay or do the bare minimum to address climate change. This is a global existential crisis, and all of us will suffer if we fail,” Biden told European leaders at a Munich security conference by video Friday.

Photos of Ted Cruz Allegedly Fleeing to Cancun During Texas Arctic Blast Disaster Spark Outrage
Photos of Ted Cruz emerged on Twitter that purports to show the Texas Senator flying to Cancun, Mexico to escape the brutal and dangerous cold spell causing blackouts in his home state of Texas.

Lest We Not Forget This Republican's Reaction To A Disaster on Sept. 7, 2005

As President Bush battled criticism over the response to Hurricane Katrina, his mother declared it a success for evacuees who "were underprivileged anyway," saying on Monday that many of the poor people she had seen while touring a Houston relocation site were faring better than before the storm hit.

"What I'm hearing, which is sort of scary, is they all want to stay in Texas," Barbara Bush said in an interview on Monday with the radio program "Marketplace." "Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality."

"And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway," she said, "so this is working very well for them."

Rolling Stone gets it

Apparently, Everything Republicans Touch Dies Too.

The Lincoln Project is not saying whether any of the attorneys it hired to investigate allegations of impropriety by one of its co-founders had donated to the group in the past.

The group said Monday it had retained the law firm of Paul Hastings to investigate its handling of John Weaver, a co-founder accused of soliciting dozens of young men online. Other co-founders, including Reed Galen and Steve Schmidt, reportedly knew of the allegations as early as March 2020, but remained silent until the accusations were highlighted by the media.

How one Texas storm exposed an energy grid unprepared for climate change

A devastating winter storm that has plunged Texas into an electricity crisis offers warning signs for the U.S. as the Biden administration seeks to prepare for a future in which extreme weather is a greater risk and America is almost entirely powered by renewable energy.

The Party of Personal Responsibility would like you to know that it's somebody else's fault that decades of deregulation and climate change denial has resulted in Texans freezing in the dark. - Jeff Tiedrich

When Capitalists Run The Power Grid, Blackouts Happen.
When it gets really cold, it can be hard to produce electricity, as customers in Texas and neighboring states are finding out. But it’s not impossible. Operators in Alaska, Canada, Maine, Norway and Siberia do it all the time.
What has sent Texas reeling is not an engineering problem, nor is it the frozen wind turbines blamed by prominent Republicans. It is a financial structure for power generation that offers no incentives to power plant operators to prepare for winter. In the name of deregulation and free markets, critics say, Texas has created an electric grid that puts an emphasis on cheap prices over reliable service.
