STOP THIS NONSENSE OPINION Biden anti-consumer crusade targets 4 more types of appliances 1. Dishwashers Dishwashers may already be the most over-regulated appliance, having been subjected to four rounds of successively tighter limits on the amount of energy and water they can use. These DOE regulations are the reason dishwashers now take two hours or more to clean a load of dishes, up from about one hour for models predating the federal standards. Cleaning performance has also suffered. Many consumers report having to rinse their dishes by hand before or after running them in the dishwasher, which is not only an inconvenience but also undercuts the energy and water-saving rationale behind the rules. But having learned nothing, DOE now proposes to make the requirements more stringent, insisting that doing so will benefit consumers and help fight climate change. 2. Air Conditioners Residential central air conditioners are being hit by regulations from both DOE and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the cumulative impact is large and still growing. A new DOE efficiency standard that took effect in 2023 is boosting the installed cost of a new unit by $1,000 or more. And climate change measures coming from EPA in 2024 will both raise the cost of refrigerants needed to repair existing systems while further increasing prices for new models. Adding insult to injury, the new climate-friendly air conditioners about to be introduced come with increased flammability risks. 3. Washing Machines Like dishwashers, washing machines have endured tighter and tighter water and energy use limits in 1994, 2004, 2007, 2015 and 2018. They now use so little water that homeowners have had to improvise to get clothes clean. Some have learned to add a bucket or two of water midcycle to improve performance, while others risk voiding the warranty by tinkering with their machines to increase the flow. Mold accumulation – which was never a problem before Washington regulators got involved with washing machines – is now common and can cause bad odors and staining of clothes. A sensible government agency would be looking at ways to fix these problems, but the Biden administration DOE is proposing to exacerbate them with tougher energy and water limits. 4. Furnaces No two homes are exactly alike, which is why it makes sense to allow a wide variety of furnaces on the market. But DOE doesn’t see it that way, and its recently finalized efficiency standard for furnaces effectively outlaws the kind of natural gas furnaces that make the most sense for millions of homeowners. Specifically, the rule eliminates the option of non-condensing gas furnaces in favor of condensing versions. Condensing furnaces are more efficient and thus comply with the rule, but they are more expensive and not easily compatible with the venting systems in many homes that currently have non-condensing furnaces. The biggest victims of such one-size-fits-all standards will be the disproportionately low-income owners of older and smaller homes for which the replacement of an old non-condensing furnace with a new condensing model will prove very difficult and costly. The only good news is that Congress is starting to fight back. The House of Representatives has passed bills preemptively rescinding any stove regulations and is considering doing the same for other appliances. It won’t be easy – any repeal bills would have to pass both the House and Senate and be signed into law by a president who invariably refuses to admit regulatory mistakes and rarely if ever takes the side of homeowners over bureaucrats and climate activists. But commencing the fight for appliance sanity now will set the stage for corrective measures if and when the political winds change enough to make them possible.

DON'T LOOK UP Biden admin reportedly wanted to keep China spy craft hidden from Congress and US public

Rand Paul’s ‘Festivus’ report exposes $900B in government squander (foxnews.com) The Festivus Report 2023 Happy Festivus! How is 2023 already coming to a close? What a year it’s been. Twitter is now X, what we thought were UFOs were actually Chinese Spy Balloons, Barbie battled Oppenheimer at the box office, and a missing F-35 jet flew for over 60 miles without a pilot. It’s safe to say that some big changes have occurred since last year’s Festivus Report. Last Festivus, we lamented over the national debt reaching an astronomical $30 trillion. Shockingly, in one short year, the career politicians and bureaucrats in Washington have managed to approach $34 trillion in debt, without so much as a second thought. Who’s to blame for our crushing level of debt? Everybody. This year, members of both parties in Congress voted to raise the debt ceiling, which empowered the government to borrow an unlimited amount of money until 2024. As Congress spends to reward its favored industries and pet projects, the American taxpayers are forced to pay the price through record high inflation and crippling interest rates. The same big spenders teamed up, yet again, to continue sending Americans’ hard-earned money to foreign countries and funding endless wars, all while ignoring our porous southern border. And our mountain of debt will continue to pile ever higher. The Congressional Budget Office predicts we will add an average of $2 trillion in debt annually for the next decade. The U.S. government will add over $5 billion of debt every single day for the next ten years. We borrow over $200 million every hour, we borrow $3 million every minute, and we borrow $60,000 every second. This year, I am highlighting a whopping ~$900,000,000,000 of waste, including an NIH grant to study Russian cats walking on a treadmill, Barbies used as proof of ID for receiving COVID Paycheck Protection Program funds, $6 million to promote tourism in Egypt, and $200 million to ‘struggling artists’ like Post Malone, Chris Brown, and Lil Wayne. No matter how much money the government has already wasted, politicians keep demanding even more. As always, taking the path to fiscal responsibility is often a lonely journey, but, as I’ve done in years past, I will continue my fight against government waste this holiday season. So, before we get to the Feats of Strength, it’s time for my Airing of (spending) Grievances! I have a lot of problems with federal spending, and now it’s time to hear all about them! 2 The Waste of 2023  Barbie Doll Photo Used to Get COVID PPP Funds…………………….portion of $800,000,000,000  In the RED: Interest on Our National Debt is Expensive ……………..………...….$659,000,000,000  Dr. Fauci’s Monkey Business on NIH’s “Monkey Island”……………………..………..….$33,200,000  USAID Fund to Boost Egyptian Tourism...........................................................................$6,000,000  USDA’s Cutting-Edge Research: Walking Dogs in the Summer……………...…...………..Unknown  DHS Training Employees to Be Their “Authentic & Best Selves”……………..…...………..Unknown  Russian Cats-On-A-Treadmill Studies Funded by NIH……...………........…..portion of $2,700,000  The Government Pays Dead People … Again!.....………………………………………...$38,000,000  DOD’s Lobster Tank………………………………………………………………………………….$8,395  How to Ruin Expensive Military Equipment Part 1: Engines………………………...……$89,000,000  How to Ruin Expensive Military Equipment Part 2: Transmissions……………………....$12,600,000  How to Ruin Expensive Military Equipment Part 3: Tank Treads………...……………....$68,000,000  “Real Fake”: DHS’s 1st Graphic Novel About Disinformation………………………………...Unknown  DHS’s 2nd Graphic Novel: COVID Disinformation…………..………………………………...Unknown  NIH’s Meth-Head Monkeys………………………………………………………portion of $12,000,000  Treasury’s Pot of Cash for Political Campaigns……………………………….……….…$400,000,000  NIH’s Monkey Casino: Gambling for Drinking Water………………….…….....portion of $3,700,000  SBA’s Ticket to Backstage………………………………………………….……………….$200,000,000  Studying COVID-19 “Misinformation” On Social Media In Black & Rural Communities…$3,800,000  Dr. Fauci’s Transgender Monkey Study………………………………………………………...$477,121  Whoopsie: Improper Federal Payments………………………………………………$236,000,000,000  FLASHBACK: The Government Likes Its Gambling Monkeys…………………………….…$171,000 Taxpayer Dollars Wasted: ~$900 Billion
