WHEN THE BOSTON HERALD RAG WAS GIVEN AWAY FOR FREE IN TRAIN STATIONS,
IT WAS GOOD FOR CAGE LINERS....NOW? YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO PAY FOR THIS
IDIOCY?
Nobody asked me but:
Sometimes in life you really do get lucky, and this weekend is one of those moments to be grateful.
Howie Carr: Karen Read case Canton lookalikes and other thoughts
Subsequent to the Presidential Debate in which President Biden performed poorly, the Daffy Don spewed LIES, RACISM & HATE....BLACK JOBS? Not even a concealed DOG WHISTLE!
President Biden got it correct that Daffy Don has the MORALS of an ALLEY CAT!
President Biden OUTRAISED Daffy Don because VOTERS clearly see the HATE, RACISM, & LUNACY revealed.
NORMAL GOVERNMENT needs to be RESTORED....not the MAGA DYSFUNCTION & LIES.
The Bloviator just sinks further into his sodden KOOL AID consumption (or maybe it's alcohol consumption), never FACTS, never substance....encouraging an audience too lazy to inform to spew that same manure.....
FACT CHECKING matters!
POLLING INDICATES THAT 65% of Americans support ABORTION RIGHTS!
tRump BRAGGED about overturned ROE V WADE, stated LIES about ABORTIONS that are fully discredited...
The BOSTON HERALD has always been a RAG...scant information, poor reporting,
lack of FACT CHECKING...at least when it was distributed for FREE at rail stations
it made good CAGE LINER or PEE PAPER for puppies.....
BOSTON HERALD has NOT improved....now actually limits access - who's going to pay for such poor reporting? This is likely why we receive so many phone calls soliciting subscriptions.
Part on being an INFORMED ADULT, is reading information you might not agree with,
as well as FACT CHECKING!
Shoot From The Lip Bloviator has never met a FACT that just might inform his BLOVIATING VIRUS. Most of the CRAP he includes is manure gathered elsewhere.
The SHOOT FROM THE LIP CLOWN decided the KAREN READ trial failing to raise significant questions of FACTS that were never asked....
REALITY WINNER leaked a single intelligence document indicating that the INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY was aware of RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE and was sent to prison as a consequence.....
DUH? The Bloviator ignored it?
CRAIG UNGER has published several books, available at your public library, that are well researched and adequately explain not ONLY RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE, but....
Does the BLOVIATOR have a library card? Do his followers who blindly believe his manure?
EVERY BUSINESS tRump created FAILED .....
RYAN FATTMAN was one of three Massachusetts Republicans who rushed to endorse
FLORIDA Extremist Ron DeSantis, ignoring his history, FLORIDA's failures and reality.
DeSantis just slashed all arts funding, no reason given.
FLORIDA has outlawed ANY mention of CLIMATE CHANGE even as the severe consequences are impacting the state - high ocean temperatures, flooding (for which funds were slashed), homeowners' insurance, and much else.
FLORIDA REPUBLICANS banned 'undocumented immigrants' which forced married couples and others to flee the state - who's going to pick the crops? fill the construction jobs? It's not going to be affluent retirees. SHORT SIGHTED!
A Senate Republican stopped a broad climate bill from advancing Friday for the second day in a row but struck a deal with Democrats to allow full debate on the proposal to take place on Tuesday, a move the conservative argued bought lawmakers more time to review the large bill.
Resistance to climate legislation Senate Democratic leadership unveiled Monday has grown over the past week as labor unions and Republicans took issue with language in the proposal targeting natural gas, including ending a program to replace aged infrastructure.
Sen. Ryan Fattman, a Sutton Republican who first blocked the bill Thursday, said his concerns around the “esoteric” bill were still not satisfied and he wanted to buy all 40 members of the Senate more time to review the proposal and the more than 120 amendments that had been filed.
“The idea that natural gas (would be) used as a last option is problematic and could scare away development,” he told reporters at the State House. “In my district, I want it to be economically competitive, and I want there to be housing developed, obviously, within a framework that is appropriate. But this, I think, has a chilling effect potentially on that.”
Only 40 days remained Friday before the Legislature was scheduled to close out formal lawmaking for their two-year session and every delay means House and Senate members have less time to push through and come to agreements on a laundry list of high-priority policies.
The super-minority Republican caucuses in both the House and Senate have historically turned to procedural tactics to delay legislation they do not agree with or want more time to digest, a strategic decision that is felt more acutely by Democrats as time for formal legislating starts to run out.
The agreement Fattman managed to get Democrats who control the Senate to sign off on will see the climate bill taken up next week and conservatives refrain from turning to “dilatory” tactics to delay a highly anticipated borrowing bill focused on affordable housing on Thursday.
Sen. William Brownsberger, a Belmont Democrat who presided over Friday’s Senate session, said a handful of lost days is not going to “make or break” plans laid out by Democratic leadership.
“Every day matters but not every scheduling movement matters. So this shift of timeline, it’s not going to break the bank in terms of the conversation,” he said.
Senate President Karen Spilka, an Ashland Democrat, released the climate bill on Monday and initially planned debate for Thursday during a week that was bifurcated by a federal holiday. Brownsberger said Fattman had “a lot of time to think about” the bill.
“We felt the timeline was reasonable, but (Fattman) has his rights to grab a couple of additional days and so he’s done that,” Brownsberger said.
Democrats proposed phasing out a natural gas infrastructure replacement program known as the Gas System Enhancement Program, or GSEP, by 2030, a move they argued would bring down costs for consumers and take residents off the hook for “paying billions of dollars for fossil fuel investments that will soon serve no purpose.”
But labor unions and business groups have said sunsetting the program in four years would end the incentive for utility companies to repair pipes across the state and potentially put tens of thousands of workers out of jobs.
In a June 12 letter to legislators, the New England Gas Workers Alliance said the organization’s members work to maintain “critical infrastructure” that keeps “hundreds of thousands of Massachusetts residents safe and warm.”
“As part of their work, they routinely find leaking or dangerous pipe that are near homes and businesses throughout the commonwealth. They often put their lives at risk to safeguard the public,” the letter said.
Fattman echoed similar concerns.
“There’s about 20,000 people who do that work statewide. We’re basically sending them a message that they’re going to be unemployed. There’s 20,000 people with 20,000 families, potentially, 20,000 mortgages. They have lives too. They’re valued. They deserve a seat at the table,” he said. “Well, they’ve written us letters saying ‘we have real concerns about this bill.’”
Sen. Michael Barrett, a Lexington Democrat who helped author the climate bill, said Thursday that Massachusetts needs to step back from its “over-reliance” on natural gas, including by allowing state regulators to sign off on plans to terminate service to consumers so long as “safe, reliable, and affordable” alternatives are in place.
“Our plea to our colleagues and to our friends in this branch, in the other branch, and throughout Massachusetts, is that there is a way to do this well. There is a way to get off natural gas while keeping people warm and safe. We believe we struck the right balance with regard to this legislation,” he said.
