    Snake Boy stepping in with the deflections, it's practically a frenzy for him

    usually he parses letters like he was paying for a telegram

    The old man getting shot down like that has left us in the grip of frenzy, Winester.

    I want payback in any form...legal/illegal...make ME no difference.
    And I don't know for a fact, but, I have the utmost confidence that that old man heartily believes (in the dank of night) precisely that-a-way as well.

    He understands FULLY what has happened to him and why. They wouldn't let him in to that closed circuit, threatened his life and those of his family to keep him from it, expel him from it once in and then shot him in PA., and tried again in Florida to stop him from crashing that closed circuit once again.

    You damn right he is fully cognizant of these facts, Winester.

    That he can't lose now is his glory...that Christ protected him outright in Pennsylvania his deliverance. That he was meant for this trek, this "night time graveyard walk." That perhaps he believes heartily that he is invincible, that only the Father is sanctioned to set him free.

    Good , eh?

    POTUS signs an executive order on election integrity that includes the following provisions:

    - Requires do entary, government-issued proof of U.S. citizenship on its voter registration forms.
    - Conditions federal election-related funds on states complying with the integrity measures set forth by Federal law.
    - Directs the updating of the Voluntary Voting System Guidelines 2.0 and security standards for voting equipment -- which includes requiring a voter-verifiable paper ballot record and not using ballots in which the counted vote is contained within a barcode or QR code.
    - Directs the Attorney General to enter into information-sharing agreements with state election officials to identify cases of election fraud or other election law violations.
    - Takes appropriate action against states that count ballots received after Election Day in Federal elections.
    - Revokes Biden Executive Order 14019, which turned Federal agencies into Democratic voter turnout centers.
    why does it give DOGE voter records?

    Also, the ID laws only apply to federal elections, but if states don’t also “voluntarily” change their state and local election laws to match, Trump’s FEMA will withhold emergency funding for natural disasters that occur in those states.

    is this weaponization?

    red states get the Biden goodies

    blue states get bupkis

    A list circulating inside the Energy Department suggests cutting funding for the development of four hydrogen production hubs in mostly Democratic-leaning states while maintaining funding for three hubs spread across mostly red states, three people familiar with the plan said Wednesday.

    The cuts, if carried through, would politicize the federal funds that Congress and the Biden administration awarded to seven regional applicants as part of the bipartisan infrastructure law.

    The funding cuts are under consideration amid President Donald Trump’s directive to cut government waste and eliminate climate-focused spending enacted during the Biden administration. Previous submissions for spending cuts from DOE offices included potentially eliminating federal funding for all seven of the hydrogen hub projects.

    The first tranches of funding for the seven selected hubs in the $7 billion program were delivered to recipients before the Biden administration left office. The sites were envisioned to help speed development of hydrogen as a clean fuel that could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions in difficult-to-decarbonize industries, such as fertilizer production, steel making, and electricity generation.

    A spreadsheet of the projects prepared by DOE and obtained by POLITICO labeled each hub as “cut” or “keep.” Out of seven projects, only the four planned for primarily Democratic-leaning states are recommended to have their funding pulled back, according to people familiar with the latest iteration of the plan.

    On the cut list: the Pacific Northwest hub spanning Oregon, Washington and Montana; the ARCHES hub in California; the Midwest regional hub linking Illinois, Indiana and Michigan; and the Mid-Atlantic hub in Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey.

    On the keep side: the Heartland hub that spans Minnesota, South Dakota and North Dakota; the Appalachia hub in Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia and Pennsylvania; and HyVelocity in Texas and Louisiana.

    they're wrecking perfectly good shi tthat is not very expensive


    The Trump administration is planning to close a small, obscure laboratory whose work undergirds everything from microchip manufacturing to nuclear fusion.

    TheAtomic Spectroscopy Group at the National Ins ute of Standards and Technology (NIST) provides the definitive measurements of atomic spectra. Spectra are specific sets of colors emitted by different atomic elements. Those sets of colors act as atomic fingerprints that are used to characterize a wide variety of things — from the gases in far-off stars, to the blood in a person's finger.

    The laboratory has been in continuous operation for more than 120 years, but in mid-April it will be forced to close, according to a letter sent by the lab's head, Yuri Ralchenko, to dozens of colleagues around the world.

    "We were recently informed that unless there is a major change in the Federal Government reorganization plans, the whole Atomic Spectroscopy Group will be laid off in a few weeks," Ralchenko wrote in the letter, which was emailed on March 18 and seen by NPR. The letter was first reported by Wired.
    Ralchenko says in the letter that he was told "our work is not considered to be statutorily essential for the NIST mission."

    But thousands of scientists and engineers disagree. A pe ion is now circulating to reverse the closure, and it had received close to 3,000 signatures as of Wednesday. Among the signatories is Nobel Prize-winning physicist Sheldon Glashow.

    "I cannot believe that the government would be stupid enough" to slash this kind of work, Glashow said in a video statement.
    The laboratory maintains a database of atomic spectra that are the standard reference used to ensure devices are functioning correctly. Every month, the database receives around 70,000 queries from around the world and is cited in at least two scientific papers, according to a recent post about it on NIST's website.


    In addition, the laboratory conducts precise measurements of ultraviolet atomic spectra that are critical to developing advanced microchips. Ultraviolet light is used to etch tiny circuits, and advances in the field require detailed knowledge of the atomic spectra of elements in the extreme ultraviolet. There are a handful of facilities that research ultraviolet spectra, and this group is one of them, Goldschmidt says. It also studies plasmas, which are ionized gases that enshroud nuclear fusion reactions. Researchers around the world are pursuing fusion as a clean and virtually limitless form of energy, and detailed knowledge of plasmas is essential to that development.


    Neither NIST nor its parent agency, the Department of Commerce, responded to NPR's inquiries about the closure, but the savings from closing the lab would be minimal. NIST's annual budget is just $1.5 billion, less than 0.02% of the government's $7 trillion annual budget.

    Within NIST, the atomic spectroscopy group is made up of seven full-time federal employees. The group's employees even pay out of pocket for coffee and sugar used in its coffee breaks and have been doing so since 1973

    Just 1.5 billion, just 3 billion, just 10 billion...you love to pay that game

    If the service is so critical to semiconductor manufacturing, then that industry can pay for it

    That's Elon's game.

    Except he just makes the numbers up.

    And you believe him every time.

    Yes, I believe him. We've heard those numbers for the last quarter century with guffaws and resignation that nothing could, or, would ever be done. Just the way it was and always would be.

    Now? We'll see.

    even after Biden gave the bulk of the goodies to red states

    this is how Trump pays it back

    Kari Lake was about to get spanked in court for her legally inept shutdown of Voice of America, so she withdrew the grant termination, provisionally

    Giving herself a do-over.
