The House will vote to make Daylight Savings Time permanent. No more changing clocks every six months like a mental patient.

The U.S. House will vote this week on a bill making daylight savings time permanent, despite warnings from medical, education and safety organizations.
The Sunshine Protection Act of 2025, which would end the nearly nationwide biannual clock changing and make daylight savings time permanent year-round, advanced out of committee Monday afternoon.
States that use standard time year-round -- currently only Arizona and Hawaii -- before the law goes into effect wouldn't have to change.

Ana Paulina Luna has been holding up all legislation until the traitor Thune forces the SAVE Act through. Mike Johnson has offered Luna attaching as the SAVE Act is attached to a bill funding the State Department.

Mitch McConnell's Rent-Boy has already said he'll strip it out.

Johnson has said he'll facilitate a process that would attach the SAVE American Act to a bill to fund the State Department. Luna and other Republicans believe the maneuver will make it hard for the Senate to oppose the funding packages.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., said she'll support a procedural rule that would allow the House to consider a bill to fund the State Department and a measure to make daylight savings time permanent.
"We will try the MIRV process on the condition that Speaker Johnson attaches the SAVE America Act to all the appropriation bills and all must-pass bills here in the House and ensures it is sent to the Senate as one bill," Luna said on X.
The vote to reopen the House floor on Tuesday would end a power struggle between Luna and Speaker Mike Johnson over the election security bill, the SAVE America Act, Politico reported.
Johnson has said he'll facilitate a process that would attach the SAVE American Act to a bill to fund the State Department. Luna and other Republicans believe the maneuver will make it hard for the Senate to oppose the funding packages.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune has said he won't go for the plan, and Luna's statement put pressure on the South Dakota Republican to reconsider.
"If John Thune strips it out in the Senate that will be on him and the entire country should be watching what he does. If he wants to actively work against Voter I.D. & the SAVE America Act he must face the consequences of his actions. His State party should censure him and/or he should be primaried if he wants to betray his constituents in this manner. That is the nature of politics," Lunsa said.

Yeah he doesn't care. The entire purpose of the GOPe is to betray and restrain conservative voters. They're proud to do it.

Mamdani ran on a platform of bringing rents down. Despite thousands of people fleeing the shithole city of NYC, rents just hit their highest levels in history.

Under the leadership of race-communist Mayor Zohran Mamdani, rent in Manhattan has risen to an all-time high of $5,295 a month, representing a nearly 10 percent increase year-over-year.
...
With the cost of living booming and Mamdani backing a "tax the rich" agenda to pay for his hyped-up socialist policies, New York City seems to be dying. A study from the New York Post showed that the city lost nearly $11 billion in tax revenue after a mass exodus of millionaires. Meanwhile, 40 percent of New York City's units are occupied by foreign born tenants, many of whom filled vacancies left after caravans fled the city during the COVID pandemic.

Mamdani and his communists are doing such a great job they've voted themselves all a massive pay raise.

NYC Council members want to give themselves 18.2% pay hike -- and set automatic increases every year after

Pay yourself first -- over and over again!
Shameless city lawmakers are pushing to give themselves eye-watering 18.2% raises -- in a scheme that will also give them automatic pay hikes of at least 2% every year in the future.
City Council Member Nantasha Williams (D-27) introduced a bill that would inflate her and her colleagues' salaries from $148,500 to $175,500 backdated to January, while also ballooning pay for the mayor, the City Council speaker and other elected positions.
The bill comes days after the lawmakers signed off on a record-breaking $126 billion city budget and includes salaries even higher than a 16% raise the council tried to sneak by in a similar bank-account boosting measure at the end of their session last year.
And the bill also ensures taxpayers will be on the hook to pay elected officials more every year -- with no requirement for public debate or a City Council vote.

Under the proposed law, if the council doesn't vote to hike salaries for four years, raises kick in anyway, at either 2% per year or 8.25% overall -- whichever is less.
...
The mayor's salary would also get boosted from $258,750 to $305,800 and Council Speaker Julie Menin's would rise from $164,500 to $194,000 -- though both leaders have said they wouldn't take the pay bumps.
Mamdani hasn't taken a stance on whether he was in favor of the hikes and said he'd leave it for the City Council to debate.

A DEI academic says that criticizing her work for its many, many errors is -- you'll never believe this -- racism, straight-up.

The author of an acclaimed book about slavery is crying racism after her writing came under scrutiny by scholars for questionable assertions and sloppy sourcing.
Kerri Greenidge's 2022 book "The Grimkes," which tells the story of a prominent South Carolina slaveholder family who later played a role in the abolitionist movement, was lauded by critics and won the American Historical Association's Joan Kelly Memorial Prize.
But skepticism grew as her prose came under the microscope by historians and scholars, including Myra Glenn, an author and retired American history professor at Elmira College.
In a 2024 examination of "The Grimkes," Glenn called it "deeply flawed," and called out that Greenidge "all too often lacks the evidence to substantiate many of her major claims."
She added that "her work is also riddled with factual errors and repeatedly omits needed endnotes."
Presented with these and other disputed findings discovered through Glenn's analysis by the New York Times, Greenidge immediately cast herself as the victim, and accused her growing roster of critics of racism.
"I am heartbroken that a field I have given my life to can treat me this way," she told the outlet. "The attack on Black women academics is real."

Fuck you.

Sacramento, California, will now be inspecting residents' trash to make sure they are in compliance with state law.

The City of Sacramento will send crews across the city to track and check that residents are sorting their trash properly.

if the bill passes, it will be immediately challenged in court and won't take effect by Election Day. People get that, right? Every Hawaiian judge will issue individual and tailored injunctions that SCOTUS will have unwound in maybe a year.

But keeping the debate going kills the Dems. Win-win from my point of fiew.

We tried permanent DST in the early '70s, under Nixon IIRC. It lasted one winter, and then was repealed.

I predict the same thing will happen again. When it gets around the winter solstice in the western edges of the higher latitude time zones where it's pretty far west to begin with relative to true local mean time, sunrise can push past 9AM. That didn't fly at all.

Michigan upper peninsula is pretty bad, and even Indiana pushes Eastern Time pretty far west.

Go to time.gov to see the boundaries.

Originally, time zones were to be exactly 15 degrees wide, centered on the meridian. That way clock time would be no worse than +/- 30 minutes different from local mean time. But, the boundaries get political/commerce oriented, and we have what we have.

Does anyone know why that Dim Rep Presley politician woman is bald and shaves and oils her fat head? If it's the "alopecia" excuse like that cray Jada Pickett Smith, then I have a bridge to sell you. She's already growing her hair out in little clumps that are blonde.

This concludes what I have to say.

I do wonder why my comments entertain any medical appts I have. People love me and they are much younger, the MD, the RN and the ARNP. Tell me it is an honor to meet me, etc.

I figure they get super weird and crazy Dims who come in. The university hospital, I have to say is good, but we see the strangest people on earth there. It's a little micro climate parade of weirdos, so it's no wonder I'm considered normal.

My husband tells me when we leave that I screwed up and cracked too many jokes. I get a critique of my show. I don't care much as if I am nervous the gallows humor shines.

Saw the beginnings of this in my town before making my Calexit last year.

There was talk that sink disposals would be outlawed, as you are now "encouraged" to include food scraps in your yard waste.

If you'll be on the ONT tonight, we can discuss this in more detail, as I'm going to have be out in a little bit.

Anyway, the "8 ball" local reference frame, was *inertial*, showing axes relative to whatever inertial frame they were using (might have been the ECI frame, but could've been something else that they preferred for whatever reason). They would translate as needed, and the computers could do this, to "LVLH", local vertical local horizontal as needed.

It's singular. No savings.

I hate it because for 21 years the "spring forward" happened on a drill weekend, so after being burned out after Saturday drill you get to lose *another* hour of sleep on Sunday. The following workweek was basically zombie territory.

And it is stupid. Pick a time. Daylight saving has commercial interests behind it, and that's why it wins. Follow the money.
