Flashback: Nancy Pelosi Said President Lacks Authority to ‘Forgive’ Student Debt Diana Glebova Wed, August 24, 2022 at 1:07 PM In this article: Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the United States House of Representatives Joe Biden President of the United States since 2021 In July of 2021, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said President Joe Biden does not have the executive authority to issue “debt forgiveness,” arguing that such action would be illegal and that it has “to be an act of Congress.” “People think that the President of the United States has the power for debt forgiveness. He does not. He can postpone. He can delay. But he does not have that power. That has to be an act of Congress,” Pelosi said July 28 at a press conference. “The President can’t do it. So that’s not even a discussion. Not everybody realizes that. But the President can only postpone, delay, but not forgive,” she added. She also mentioned how voters would be mad about student loan “forgiveness,”appearing to question whether such a policy would be “fair.” Pelosi mentioned a scenario where “your child just decided they want to – at this time, not want to go to college, but you’re paying taxes to forgive somebody else’s obligations.” The Department of Education agreed with Pelosi, arguing in a 2021 memo that the executive branch “does not have the statutory authority to cancel, compromise, discharge, or forgive, on a blanket or mass basis, principal balances of student loans, and/or to materially modify the repayment amounts or terms thereof.” Despite Pelosi’s remarks, Biden issued an order Wednesday “forgiving” up to $10,000 in federal student debt for individuals making under $125,000 annually and households making under $250,000, as well as relieving $20,000 in debt for Pell grant recipients. His decision marks the biggest loan “cancellation” program in history, and comes months before the midterms. Asked Tuesday about reports that the announcement would be forthcoming, Pelosi appeared to welcome the news, though she acknowledged that it was unclear where Biden derived the authority for it. “Well, we’re excited about the president, because we didn’t know what — what authority the president had to do this. And now clearly, it seems he has the authority to do this: $10,000 for those … making under $125,000 a year.” Pelosi’s office did not immediately respond to an inquiry from National Review, asking if she still stood by those comments.

You still in your car till this day?

Causing Great Bodily Harm by OWI [940.25(1)] Up to $25,000 [939.50(3)(f)] (plus $435 OWI surcharge) [346.655] Class F Felony Up to 12.5 years [939.50(3)(f)]

12.5 YEARS for Felony OWI with Injury in Wisconsin However, every OWI causing great bodily harm conviction carries the same penalty: a Class F felony charge. You could go to prison for 12.5 years and have to pay a $25,000 fine. The only drunk driving charge more serious than an OWI causing great bodily harm is Vehicular Manslaughter while Intoxicated. And it all hinges on whether or not the injuries were "serious."

MC falls for this crap every day, he's a simple minded puppet praying each day that someting, anything he claims will stick, ya know like "imminent, tick tock" etc. Poor MC he'll never win..

Yup, totally different, here they can get 2-5 years.

Paul Pelosi gets 5 days in jail, 3 years of probation in DUI OLGA R. RODRIGUEZ Tue, August 23, 2022 at 12:25 PM Paul Pelosi American businessman SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The husband of U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi pleaded guilty Tuesday to misdemeanor driving under the influence charges related to a May crash in California's wine country and was sentenced to five days in jail and three years of probation. Paul Pelosi already served two days in jail and received good conduct credit for two other days, Napa County Superior Court Judge Joseph Solga said. Paul Pelosi will work eight hours in the court's work program in lieu of the remaining day, Solga said during Paul Pelosi's sentencing, which he did not attend. State law allows for DUI misdemeanor defendants to appear through their attorney unless ordered otherwise by the court. As part of his probation, Paul Pelosi will also be required to attend a three-month drinking driver class, and install an ignition interlock device, where the driver has to provide a breath sample before the engine will start. He will also have to pay about $5,000 in victim restitution for medical bills and lost wages and nearly $2,000 in fines, the judge said. Paul Pelosi was arrested following a May 28 crash in Napa County, north of San Francisco, after a DUI test showed he had a blood alcohol content of .082%, just over the legal limit. Officers responding to the crash after 10 p.m. near the wine country town of Yountville said they found Pelosi in the driver’s seat of a 2021 Porsche Carrera and the other driver standing outside a sport utility vehicle, according to the complaint. California Highway Patrol officers reported that Pelosi was “unsteady on his feet, his speech was slurred, and he had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage.” Pelosi offered to officers his driver’s license along with an “11-99 Foundation” card when asked for identification, the complaint says. The 11-99 Foundation supports CHP employees and their families. Prosecutors filed the case as a misdemeanor because of injuries to the 48-year-old driver of the SUV. They have declined to identify the driver, saying the person has requested privacy. In an interview with investigators from the district attorney’s office, the driver reported pain in his upper right arm, right shoulder and neck the day after the crash. He said he also had headaches. Pelosi was released on $5,000 bail after his arrest. Speaker Pelosi was in Rhode Island to deliver the commencement address at Brown University at the time. Her office did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday.

High-Impact Oil And Gas Drilling Is Back Editor OilPrice.com Sun, August 21, 2022 at 4:00 PM Exploration and production companies are drilling more high-impact wells this year, with a much higher success rate than in 2021. It is a positive sign for global oil and gas supply as activity is on the rebound. High-impact exploration is back after a dismal 2021, which saw a low success rate—one of the lowest on record—in discovering new oil and gas resources, analysts say. The much higher success rate at high-impact wells drilled so far this year is a good signal for global supply at a time when oil and gas prices are high, and trade has been upended following the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent sanctions and embargoes on Russian oil. So far this year, E&P firms have discovered over 1.7 billion barrels of oil equivalent (boe) at high-impact wells, nearly quadruple the 450 million boe discovered for the whole of 2021, Rystad Energy research showed this week. Per Rystad Energy’s methodology, high-impact wells are classified through a combination of factors, including the size of the prospect, whether they would unlock new hydrocarbon resources in frontier areas or emerging basins, and whether they are “focus areas” for the operator. So far into 2022, the success rate at such wells has stood at 47%, much higher than the meager 28% success rate last year, Rystad Energy noted. Companies plan to drill 33 high-impact wells in 2022, the largest annual number since Rystad Energy started tracking the sector in 2015. Although the number of planned wells is only slightly higher than last year’s 29 high-impact wells drilled, the success rate this year is much higher, with 1.7 billion boe estimated to be found so far in 2022, compared to just 450 million boe in the disappointing 2021, which saw success rates plunge towards record lows. Unlike in previous years, oil and liquids accounted for most of the discoveries, with 1.2 billion boe or nearly 70% of the volumes this year, while gas discoveries were around 550 million boe, Rystad Energy says. To compare, gas has accounted for most of the discoveries in recent years. The high ratio of oil to gas discoveries in 2022 was chiefly the result of two significant oil discoveries offshore Namibia – Shell’s Graff and TotalEnergies’ Venus. “Last year was disappointing for discovering gas and liquid volumes from high-impact wells, but 2022 is on track to make up for that slump. If the success rate seen in the first half of 2022 holds for the full year, we could be in for one of the most productive annual volumes total on record,” Rystad Energy senior analyst Taiyab Zain Shariff said. Moreover, over half of the wells drilled so far in 2022 are considered a “focus for the company,” suggesting that more operators are narrowing their geographical range of exploration and focusing on core regions instead of frontier areas, Rystad Energy notes. According to another methodology and classification of high-impact wells, activity is also rebounding and will pick up in the second half of 2022. Westwood Global Energy Group, which defines a high-impact well as targeting more than 100 million boe prospect or any frontier play test, said earlier this month that high-impact drilling activity will pick up in the second half of the year, with between 80 and 90 wells expected to have been drilled by the end of 2022, the highest number since 2019 when 98 high-impact wells completed. For the rest of the year, South America will continue to be an exploration hot spot with more wells planned for the Suriname-Guyana basin and offshore Brazil, writes Jamie Collard, Senior Analyst – Global Exploration and Appraisal at Westwood. After the successes offshore Namibia early this year, Africa will see a return to high-impact exploration in the second half, with key wells planned in South Africa, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe. This year also sees a return to high-impact exploration in the deepwater of the Eastern Mediterranean after 2021, when no wells were drilled, Westwood says. Following years of underinvestment in oil and gas, the return of high-impact drilling activity and higher success rates could be good signs for global oil and gas supply going forward.

(April 2018) Frontal crash test of a Volvo C30 Drive Electric to assess the safety of the battery pack Numerous plug-in electric vehicle (EV) fire incidents have taken place since the introduction of mass-production plug-in electric vehicles.[1] As a result of these incidents, the United States Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) conducted a study in 2017 to establish whether lithium-ion batteries in plug-electric vehicles pose an exceptional fire hazard. The research looked at whether the high-voltage batteries can cause fires when they are being charged, and when the vehicles are involved in an accident.[1] The NHTSA in 2021 opened a new Battery Safety Initiative investigation into ev car fires in light of the continuing numerous fire incidents.[2][3] They were thermal runaway incidents related to the lithium-ion batteries. The brands involved were the Zotye M300 EV, Chevrolet Volt, Fisker Karma, Dodge Ram 1500 Plug-in Hybrid, Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid, Mitsubishi i-MiEV and Outlander P-HEV. As of February 2014, four fires after an impact have been reported associated with the batteries of plug-in electric cars. The first crash related fire was reported in China in May 2012, after a high-speed car crashed into a BYD e6 taxi in Shenzhen.[4] Two incidents occurred with the Tesla Model S in October 2013, one when a Model S caught fire after the electric car hit metal debris on a highway in Kent, Washington,[5] and another involving a loss of control and collision with a tree in Merida, Mexico.[6] A Tesla Model S being driven on a highway near Murfreesboro, Tennessee caught fire in November 2013 after it struck a tow hitch on the roadway, causing damage beneath the vehicle.[7] A Mitsubishi Outlander fire in May 2019 appeared to be related to immersion in salt water (which is electrically conductive), probably for an hour or two.[citation needed] General Motors, Nissan and Tesla have published a guide for firefighters, and first responders to properly handle a crashed electric-drive vehicle and safely disable its battery and other high voltage systems.[8][9] The difference with EV car fires is the use of high voltage lithium-ion batteries which can short and break down and spontaneously combust, and also that lithium-ion fires are difficult to extinguish and produce toxic smoke.[10][11]

“Citing ‘significant material cost increases and other factors,’ Ford’s announcement revealed price hikes between $6,000 and $8,500 for its electric vehicles. The F-150 Lightning Pro, for example, will sell for $46,974 — a $7,000 increase from the $39,947 charged for last year’s model. GM likewise increased the cost of its electric Hummer by $6,250 last month. “The price hikes are comparable to the $7,500 tax credits for new electric vehicles included in the $740 billion Inflation Reduction Act, which currently awaits President Joe Biden’s signature.”
