BOONDOGGLE: In 2011, the Ivanpah Solar Power Facility in California’s Mojave Desert received $1.6 billion in taxpayer-backed loans. President Obama’s first energy secretary, Ernest Moniz, hailed it as “an example of how America is becoming a world leader in solar energy.“

Covering five square miles, the facility featured three 459-foot towers and 173,500 computer-controlled mirrors designed to reflect sunlight to a receiver mounted on top of a tower containing a fluid that heated up and powered a conventional steam turbine.

The heat generated by the mirrors also elevated the air temperatures as high as 1,000 degrees, incinerating approximately 6,000 bird deaths each year. Since this only happens during daylight hours, the facility charbroils more than one bird per hour. Yoiks!

Besides slaughtering the wildlife, the device proved too inefficient to compete with conventional solar panels and is shutting down more than a decade ahead of its original 2039 closure date. The $1.6 billion federal loan that We The Taxpayers got stuck guaranteeing has not been repaid.

EVERYDAY HEROES: The young man sitting down was struggling with his tie, so the older gentleman showed him how, then watched as the young man repeated it to show he had it. The photo was taken by a bystander.

HISTORY: Dr. Virginia Apgar wanted to be a surgeon, but in the 1940s few women were allowed into the operating room. So she specialized in anesthesiology instead. Working in Columbia-Presbyterian’s maternity ward, she saw newborns die within minutes of birth because doctors had no system to judge which babies needed help first. One morning in 1952, she grabbed a pen and paper and designed a five-point test measuring heart rate, breathing, muscle tone, reflex response, and skin color. She called it the Apgar Score. Within a decade, almost every hospital in America was using it. Infant mortality fell sharply. Her test now guides every delivery room on Earth.

OBAMACARE: CLICK https://x.com/mazemoore/status/1977569052940767308 [1:08] to hear Obama back in 2013 talk about how Republicans were threatening to shut down the government in an effort to stop Obamacare, which was allegedly going to ensure that, going forward, families would be able to get insurance for less than the cost of cell service.

Today, Democrats are claiming they have shut down the government because health insurance is unaffordable. This is because the actual effects of The Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) have been to cause insurance premiums to rise and to decrease the number of insurance options. As per usual, the name Democrats put on a bill predicted the exact opposite of what the bill would accomplished when passed into law.

PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, Thank You for the wisdom and courage You gave to Donald Trump to negotiate peace in the Middle East and bring the hostages home. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

VOTING MACHINES: Remember 2020 when Dominion voting machines were accused of having been hacked to give Sleepy Joe the win? The company has just been purchased by a former Republican election official named Scott Leiendecker.

From here on, Dominion Voting Systems will be known as Liberty Vote. Funny thing that. Dominion means supreme authority. Liberty means the power of choice. Hmmm…

Nobody ever proved that the Dominion company itself was liable for fraud or misconduct in the 2020 election. However, the machines were demonstrably easy to hack, leading to widespread belief that Democrat operatives did steal the election. Liberty Vote plans a “top-down” review of Dominion’s equipment, including rebuilding or retiring machines; it emphasizes “100% American ownership” and aims to rebuild trust in elections.

GRAMMY NOTES: Color us bummed! Our deployed daughter was supposed to be coming to the States for a class, but because of the Schumer Shutdown, the class has been canceled. We were really looking forward to seeing her, so thanks for nothing, Chuckie!
