You should concern yourself less with your Trump fixation and pay more attention to the Democrat corruption rot in your own city.. foxnews.com High-profile Houston Democrats face corruption allegations Houston mayor, county judge could potentially face criminal charges, legal expert says By Houston Keene Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner and Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo are each battling similar but separate controversies involving millions of dollars in government contracts awarded to politically connected individuals. The high-stakes drama engulfing the political scene in the nation's fourth-largest city has so far escaped national media coverage. Hidalgo has faced intense scrutiny over an $11 million vaccine outreach contract to Elevate Strategies, which is run by Felicity Pereyra, a Democratic political insider with ties to the county commissioners court. Pereyra also worked on Hillary Clinton’s campaign. Pereyra's company was a one-woman operation until recently and only had existed for two years before being awarded the contract.

THANKS Biden, you worthless POS Biden's New "Regressive" Methane Tax Will Raise Average American's Gas Bill By 17%: Op-Ed Original Article At a time when the Biden administration is panicking in an attempt to keep energy prices down, the House has slapped a "fee" on methane that is being called a "stealth tax" on natural gas and everyone who uses it. The House bill results in an "escalating tax on methane emissions by oil and gas producers," a new op-ed in the Wall Street Journal points out. The tax will hit $1,500 per ton by 2025 and the fee is supposed to be a contribution to recent promises made in Glasgow to curb methane emissions. The cost of the fee will obviously get passed along to the consumer, which will then result in even higher energy prices than consumers are already struggling with. 180 million Americans use natural gas to hear their homes, the report says. In the meantime, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) has come out and stated that half of U.S. households that heat with natural gas will pay 30% more than winter than they did last year. This methane tax could add another 17% to an average bill, the WSJ editorial board writes.
