The Electric Reliability Council of Texas urged Texans to cut back on power usage last week when an unusually large number of power plants shut down for unexpected repairs as temperatures soared. ERCOT officials announced Friday that Texans could resume normal levels of electricity use, however.
Joe Biden set the stage for the G-7 by announcing an end to his opposition to Russia building an under-sea energy pipeline to Germany and through Germany to the E.U. That move was concerning since he has stopped construction on our own pipeline from Canada and since Russia will be greatly enriched and have increased leverage over the E.U. if it has the pipeline. Russia has been known in the past to shut down its current pipeline and raise prices in the dead of winter to extort money from countries along the pipeline’s route. The current pipe, incidentally, goes through Ukraine, and the alternate line would allow Russia to freeze Ukrainians to death in the winter.
Dr. James Dobson wrote in his book, Straight Talk, concerning his children: I wondered what memories will predominate in their minds when I lie at the point of death, a moment or two from now. What will they remember to be the happiest experiences of their lives? Will they recall a busy father who was preoccupied with writing books and catching planes and answering mail and taking phone calls and being a “big man”? Or will they recall a patient dad who took time to love them and teach them and enjoy the beauty of God’s world with them?
Gov. Greg Abbott vowed last week at a border security summit to build a barrier to slow the flow of migrants through the state’s southern border.
There’s been some disturbing news recently with respect to the CCP virus. Even President Biden is beginning to take the matter seriously. Those three Wuhan Institute of Virology workers who became gravely ill BEFORE the virus reared its ugly head are a case in point. It sounds as though something most likely escaped from a test tube and infected them. That in turn indicates the virus did not come from a wet market, but was instead the product of viral research at the institute.
