Portland Will Entertain Banning Sale of Fossil-Based Diesel Fuel Within City Limits

Portland Will Entertain Banning Sale of Fossil-Based Diesel Fuel Within City Limits (wweek.com)   "The city of Portland will seek public comment on banning the sale of petroleum-based diesel fuel within the city limits as part of its Climate Emergency Work Plan, presented to the City Council today.

"The work plan aims to curb diesel usage by electrifying trucks and using more biodiesel, which is derived from agricultural sources like cooking oil. The diesel ban will go out to public comment at the end of August, said Andria Jacob, climate policy and program manager for the Bureau of Planning and Sustainability.

"The code change would “phase out petroleum diesel sold in the city of Portland over the next several years,” Jacob told the council.

"The City Council is considering the climate work plan as most of the U.S. suffers under a stultifying heat wave. Temperatures in Portland are forecast to rise to 100 degrees Fahrenheit next week.

"The Portland City Council declared a climate emergency in 2020 and directed city bureaus to take action with a focus on Black, Indigenous and low-income communities. The work plan lays out actions to take over the next three years to “prevent the worst-case scenarios.”

" 'It’s now or never for the climate,” Jacob told the council. “Please choose now.”

"Representatives for fueling stations and the trucking industry says today’s proposal caught them by surprise.". . .

 Are we still that " Shining City On A Hill"?

In 1630, on the Arbella as it sailed toward North America, Puritan leader John Winthrop delivered a sermon called “ A Modell of Christian Charity ” asserting that this new land “shall be as a city upon a hill.” If that sounds familiar, it’s because on several occasions Ronald Reagan spoke of a shining city on a hill, sitting above other nations.

AOCs Latest Stupid Demand: Dissolve SCOTUS ‘For The Sake Of The Planet’ -

  The Lid (lidblog.com)

"On Thursday, the “pompous little twit” known as AOC demanded the Supreme Court be dissolved “for the sake of the planet” after the Court reigned in the EPA’s power to regulate greenhouse gases.

“ 'Catastrophic. A filibuster carveout is not enough. We need to reform or do away with the whole thing, for the sake of the plane,” the twit said on Twitter.". . .

. . ."Democrats complain that this Court is filled with conservatives. That shows how little they understand about the Supreme Court. Donald Trump did not appoint any conservatives to the Court. He appointed originalists. They believe that all statements in the Constitution must be interpreted based on the original understanding “at the time it was adopted.”

"The EPA decision was based on the constitutional separation of powers. The EPA went beyond the powers given to them by congress. Congress could give them the power, but the EPA couldn’t just take power.". . .

AOC Still Handcuffed As Capitol Police Misplaced The Invisible Key | Babylon Bee  . . . . Sources say AOC is still standing in front of the Supreme Court, her hands invisibly bound together as the invisible police car also never showed up to take her to jail. "I remain committed to bravely fighting for the fundamental human right to kill babies," said the Congresswoman. "I will stay here for as long as it takes, but I hope the police find the key soon. I have to go to the bathroom."

"At publishing time, Capitol Police found the invisible handcuffs back at the station and realized no one had ever actually handcuffed AOC. They are currently taking bets to see how long she'll stand there until she figures it out."

Soros Backs O’Rourke’s Bid for Texas Governor With $1 Million

Shouldn't America expect O'Rourke to resign on principle, seeing the damage Soros DA's are doing to American society? Beto, how many deaths are attributed to Soros and his money?  TD

 MSN "(Bloomberg) -- George Soros is throwing his financial support behind Democrat Beto O’Rourke as he seeks to become the next governor of Texas.". . .

. . ."Soros donated $1 million to the underdog’s Beto for Texas political action committee last month, according to filings released Tuesday by the Texas Ethics Commission. It’s tied for the largest-ever contribution to O’Rourke, along with $1 million donations each from Austin-based philanthropists Simone and Tench Coxe. 

"Soros, a 91-year-old billionaire who frequently supports progressive causes, has been active in Texas politics before, for example contributing $500,000 last year to defeat a ballot initiative in Austin that would have forced the city to hire hundreds of police officers. Republicans including Governor Greg Abbott often paint him as an outsider seeking to impose liberal values on a deep-red state.". . .

Beto, The Beatable Beta - Grrr Graphics - Ben Garrison Cartoon

"‘Beto’ is a Mexican nickname, but the Irish O’Rourke is not rejected for such cultural appropriation. After all, he looks vaguely like RFK, and that buys him a lot of tolerance. Expect him to do more silly things such as recording his dental exam or skateboarding across a stage. President Trump made fun of Beto’s habit of wildly waving his arms while speaking. As for the border walls, Beto wants to tear down those already in existence. Yes, he’s a lefty nut job and if you don’t vote for him, the world will end in 12 years.". . .

A new terror for the left: Catholic hospitals

Those rioting over Dodds; do they also riot for no-kill animal shelters?

 Andrea Widberg  "The AP has a hair-raising horror story for leftists still reeling from the Dobbs decision returning the question of abortion to the states: Catholic hospitals are on the rise! Even in states in which abortion will remain legal, there are some regions in which non-Catholic hospitals are going under and the only thing left is those “eeeevil” abortion-free, contraception-limiting Catholic healthcare providers.

The article, entitled “Catholic hospitals’ growth impacts reproductive health care” focuses on Connecticut, where Covenant Health, a Catholic hospital system, is planning to merge with a non-Catholic hospital and healthcare system that’s unable to remain open on its own. For Democrats, the fact that Covenant Health won’t provide abortions is a problem:. . .

. . ."Even the AP must concede, though, that Catholic hospitals are not so dogmatic that they’ll let women die rather than perform an abortion. As Sister Mary Haddad, the CHA president explained in an email to the AP, if the mother “suffers from an urgent, life-threatening condition during pregnancy, Catholic health clinicians provide all medically indicated treatment even if it poses a threat to the unborn.' ”
