President Trump's Energy Department Rolling Back Biden Admin’s Regulations on Home Appliances

Very welcome news! I hope this also means the makers can go back to using more quality materials in making appliances. Most appliances have a life span of about seven years which we are finding out. We remodeled our kitchen eight years ago and have had trouble with every single new appliance we put in at the time. The dishwasher just quit working entirely about a month ago.

I spoke with the appliance guy whom I know personally where we bought them. He pointed to the Green Energy sticker that was on every appliance on his showroom floor. That's the problem he said. The manufacturers have to keep chasing these new regulations every few years to meet the Green Energy initiative. He said everyone who shops all look for the Green Energy sticker because they feel they are helping the environment. When in fact the landfills are overflowing with all these cheap ass appliances.

I prefer not to give their website any clicks if I can avoid it. Is there anything different here than what HRK posted on the previous page?

SecDef Hegseth should receive the same exact punishment that Biden's SecDef received when he went MIA for almost a week and didn't notify anyone nor set up a fill-in and no one knew where the hell he even was...

It was a screw-up, but the villain is Jeffrey Goldberg.

He had 3 options:

1. Let the administration know immediately of the breach and ask to be removed from the conversation.

2. Come to the administration at the conclusion and let them know of this breach.

3. Publish the confidential information in order to drop a political bomb on behalf of the DNC.

A true, patriotic American would have chosen one of the first two options, with option one being the most virtuous. A scumbag would have chosen the third option.

Jeffrey Goldberg is as they would say a "known scumbag"

And he just verified that to the world. He thinks he is a hero, and he probably is to his fellow fascists.

Imo, this makes Trump look unprepared, even though we all know the House GOP slim majority way long in advance. And now, Stefanik is left holding the bag, because he previous House leadership role is now held by someone else.

Trump asks Stefanik to withdraw from UN ambassador contention over razor-thin House majority

By Elizabeth Elkind | Fox News

President Donald Trump announced that he asked Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., to bow out of contention to be U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.

He cited the House GOP's slim majority, writing on Truth Social, "I have asked Elise, as one of my biggest Allies, to remain in Congress to help me deliver Historic Tax Cuts, GREAT Jobs, Record Economic Growth, a Secure Border, Energy Dominance, Peace Through Strength, and much more, so we can MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN."

"With a very tight Majority, I don’t want to take a chance on anyone else running for Elise’s seat. The people love Elise and, with her, we have nothing to worry about come Election Day. There are others that can do a good job at the United Nations," he said.

Stefanik had been under pressure to take herself out of contention for the role despite appearing poised to sail through Senate confirmation with bipartisan support, CBS News first reported.

Sources told the outlet that House Republicans' razor-thin majority is a major factor in the current considerations, but Fox News Digital was also told that internal politics in Stefanik's home district are at play as well.

New York state's primary structure and the lack of GOP cohesion over choosing a candidate to run in Stefanik's place have led to concerns about a future special election there, two sources familiar with Empire State politics said.

Some people are blaming Stefanik herself for not stepping in earlier, with one of the two sources telling Fox News Digital, "Elise has been saying [they] need to wait for Trump, and it's allowed the process to grow out of control."

But that source also said they "don't think it's fair" to fully blame Stefanik, arguing that it was a failure of Republican Party leaders in general for letting the divisions "fester."

"Nature abhors a vacuum. And you have 15 different county chairs, basically like three different regions of the state, pushing their own person. It's a really messy, ugly process," the source said. "When you have a party leader making a decision versus a primary where you can run a race – it's the kind of thing you have to wrap up quickly."

That person also pointed out Stefanik was "one of the first ones ready to go" as an early favorite for the Trump administration, and questioned whether she would be having the same issues had she resigned from Congress on Jan. 20 instead of being a "loyalist" to the GOP and staying for her vote.

The second source, however, said of the situation in New York's 21st Congressional District, "She let that happen."

The second source said Stefanik "didn't want to lean in on someone," which resulted in no one having "a clear understanding of what the process is and who has a lane."

Both sources pointed to concerns about a conservative candidate who is threatening to run in a third-party lane if he fails to win the Republican primary.

Meanwhile, the candidate who was endorsed by the New York Conservative Party "never supported Trump," the first source said.

It's not out of the realm of possibility for two right-wing candidates to split their base enough for a Democrat to prevail, though it's a longshot in Stefanik's heavily Republican, upstate New York district.

Still, Republicans in Washington can afford few missteps with a thin majority and a candidate in Florida, Randy Fine, being outraised by his Democratic challenger ahead of an April 1 special election for another GOP-favored seat.

New York state special elections are not open primaries. Instead, both the Republican and Democratic candidates are chosen by the district's 15 county party chairs.

Meanwhile, Republicans have also been concerned that New York Gov. Kathy Hochul could seek to slow-walk the election, leaving Stefanik's seat open for as long as possible if she ascended to the Trump administration.

Fox News Digital reached out to a spokesperson for Stefanik for comment but did not immediately hear back.

Trump said in his announcement on Thursday that Stefanik would rejoin the House GOP leadership team, after she declined to run for another term as House GOP Conference chair to join the administration.

"Elise will stay in Congress, rejoin the House Leadership Team, and continue to fight for our amazing American People. Speaker Johnson is thrilled! I look forward to the day when Elise is able to join my Administration in the future," he wrote.

It's not immediately clear what kind of role she could have, however, given that her prior spot is now occupied by Conference Chairwoman Lisa McClain, R-Mich.

I think it’s the right move…^^^^^^

Well, if we were to withdraw from the United Nations, there would be NO need for such an Ambassador...Just Sayin'

It's the only move they have. But that's not my point. Point is, it should have been thought of before she was nominated, knowing the slim House majority.

12131,

I give the President a pass on this as he was moving at breakneck speed to get things moving. The reason for the slim majority in the house and senate is on them. They failed to fund several competitive races that we could have won versus spending stupid money on races that were locked-up for us.

The house and senate leadership have been disappointing so far... Maybe Elise would benefit from not being tied to them.

Like I said, I give him a pass. He has gotten everyone else through rather quickly and they have been pretty good so far.

I am sure Ms. Stefanik will be taken care of if she can keep her seat in the mid-terms and she will continue to be looked upon as leadership.

I am of the opinion that we do not fill the UN ambassador seat or send someone who is so irrelevant that it signals what we think of the UN. Someone to go and simply observe and report, then parrot what the President tells them too.

Just my $0.02...
