#5 New Biden Water Heater Ban Will Drive Up Energy Prices for Poor Seniors: Expert - Ryan King for The New York Post, Elizabeth MacDonald, Ron Milner, Adam Jarchow, We the People/Zerohedge, and Anhedonia on X
A Biden administration ban on certain natural gas water heaters as part of the lame duck president’s climate agenda could send prices soaring for the elderly and the poor. Under the policy, new non-condensing, natural gas-fired water heaters will be prohibited for sale starting in 2029 due to concerns about carbon dioxide emissions. The policy was quietly announced without a press release during President Biden’s twilight days in the White House. If the policy takes effect on March 11, as it is slated to, a little less than 40% of the tankless water heaters currently on the market would be banned, according to an estimate from the Appliance Standards Awareness Project...

Gay and transgender liberals around the country are arming themselves over perceived concerns they’ll be rounded up and placed in “concentration camps” under a second Trump administration, according to a report. The Philadelphia Inquirer on Sunday profiled several members of the emerging gun-toting left, who belong to groups with names like the Liberal Gun Club, the Socialist Rifle Association, and Pink Pistols. Although precise figures regarding LGBTQ gun ownership are tough to ascertain given the small cohort, the Liberal Gun Club told the outlet that it’s received “thousands” of firearms training requests since the election — more than in all of 2023 combined — and that about a quarter of them were from those in the LGBTQ community...

Donald Trump Jr is heading for Greenland, two weeks after his father repeated his desire for the US to take control of the autonomous Danish territory. The US president-elect's son said he was going as a tourist on a "very long, personal, day-trip", to talk to people, and had no meetings planned with government officials. Ahead of his son's trip, Donald Trump revived a controversy he ignited last month when he said "ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity" for US national security. During his first term as president, Trump had expressed an interest in buying the Arctic island. He has been rebuffed by Greenland's leaders on both occasions.
