McCarthy To Members Of Congress: ‘Our Country Is In Crisis’ – The Federalist
Posted: June 18, 2021 at 7:41 am
House Republican Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy issued a memo to colleagues on Sunday, outlining the nations crises six months into Biden pursuing his agenda with unified control of the federal government.
Operation Warp Speed has brought our country back from the brink, McCarthy wrote, trumpeting a pillar of success under the Trump administration, which aggressively sought the development of COVID-19 vaccines in record time and with them, a return to normal. This should be a time when that optimism is met with more opportunity. Instead, our country is in crisis.
McCarthy noted that economic decay has accelerated under the Biden administration, provoked by the extended Democrat lockdowns and exploitation of the pandemic to pass trillions of dollars in spending. Democrats then masked the ensuing economic fallout with expanded unemployment benefits and direct-payment checks as inflation began soaring, exposing the deteriorating health of the U.S. economy.
Americans planning to get back into the office and travel with their families face the highest gas prices in seven years when Joe Biden was Vice President, McCarthy wrote. If they are in the market to buy a car, the sticker shock is forcing them to reconsider or pay significantly more than the asking price.
Gas prices skyrocketed in the immediate aftermath of the five-day Colonial Pipeline shutdown after a ransomware attack in May, handing the young administration, which remains dedicated to the advancement of the progressive Green New Deal agenda, its first energy crisis.
Seventeen states declared a state of emergency, and 14 reported gas outages. While the pipeline came back online, gas prices have remained high through Memorial Day and are expected to stay elevated to their pre-Trump levels through the summer.
Without mentioning it explicitly by name, McCarthy also took a swipe at the Biden administrations gift to Russia in the form of Nord Stream 2, a pipeline to carry Russian fuel into Germany, eroding U.S. leverage in energy diplomacy.
The price shocks, McCarthy wrote, are in part fueled from a wave of cyber-attacks that have knocked out gas and food supplies. Rather than use the American government to confront these threats, the Biden administration is rewarding Russian energy companies and Chinese-owned technology companies.
The Biden administration backed off bans of the Beijing-backed apps TikTok and WeChat last week.
Meanwhile, major metropolitan crime has terrorized American residents while left-wing animosity toward police remains high and migrants flood the border, McCarthy emphasized.
In addition to the economic uncertainty, American communities are experiencing historic increases in violent crime, McCarthy wrote, poking at Vice President Kamala Harris, who has been tasked with handling the migrant crisis and laughs whenever shes asked if she plans to visit the border. The Democrats have responded standing with calls to defund the police and open our borders. In fact, the border crisis has led to terrorists trying to enter our country. The Administrations response: laughter.

Ted Cruz Slams Airline Masking Laws As ‘Performative Theater’ – The Federalist
Posted: at 7:41 am
Sen. Ted Cruz, like any American who has been on an airplane in the past few months, has seen the signs and heard the constant warnings that federal law requires that you wear a mask on flights. And hes had enough.
The last I checked under our constitutional system if federal law requires it then it is appropriate for the United States Congress to make that determination, Cruz said in a congressional hearing. Because the only way something becomes federal law in this country is if Congress passes a law and its signed by the president.
The federal mask mandate on public transportation, which was enacted Feb. 1 and was set to expire May 11, was recently extended until September. Failure to comply can result in fines starting at $250 and increasing up to $1500.
Cruz said he was disheartened by the politicization of the CDC and the deeply troubling emails from Dr. Fauci that too often engaged in politics rather than science. He argued that the CDCs latest guidance that vaccinated people do not need to wear masks should apply to airlines.
Cruz pointed out the hypocrisy of vaccinated government officials not needing to wear masks while federal mandates force vaccinated airline passengers wear them:
Sen. Fisher and I are sitting as close as we would be sitting if we were sitting on an airplane. Were not wearing a mask and indeed not a single senator in this hearing room is wearing a mask; not a single Democrat, not a single Republican is wearing a mask, because shock of all shocks: science actually means something and vaccines work. This mandate right now is hurting the aviation industry because it is depressing demand for commercial aviation.
Cruz said that in a recent 11-hour flight to Israel, flight attendants woke passengers up if their masks fell even slightly below their noses while sleeping.
This is performative theater. This is not science, this is not keeping anyone safe, Cruz said. One way to encourage people to be vaccinated is for their actually to be a difference in what you can do after youve been vaccinated. And I think repealing this requirement and allowing people who have been vaccinated to choose not to wear a mask on an airplane would increase demand, increase travel, and would tie the policy to the science.

No, The American Flag Isn’t Racist. It’s A Symbol Of Unity We Need Now – The Federalist
Posted: at 7:41 am
Just in time for Flag Day, New York Times reporter Mara Gay dragged the American flag into the race conversation, calling it disturbing to see dozens of American flags and instead arguing we must separate America from whiteness. The New York Times simply claimed her comments were taken out of context.
Gays attitude showcases an urgent need to revisit the meaning of the American flag in our national conversation. Flag Day provides the opportunity to do just that.
On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress passed a resolution describing the first official American flag. Resolved: that the Flag of the United States be thirteen stripes alternate red and white, it said, that the Union be thirteen stars, white on a blue field, representing a new constellation.
The design conveyed two new meanings: states independence but also unity. Gone were the 13 British colonies. Replacing them were 13 American states symbolized by the flags stars. Often depicted in a circle, this new constellation symbolized union by showing no state was more important than another.
Our flag still means unity today. It doesnt represent the president or one political party. It stands for the union of our now 50 states into one nation, and every American who is a part of it.
Missing from the Continental Congresss 1777 flag declaration, however, was the meaning of the colors. The delegates didnt reflect on what red, white, and blue meant in 1777; they were too busy managing the chaos of a two-year-old war.
But after the last major battle of the Revolutionary War in 1781, Americans had developed a deep familiarity with the cost of freedom. When Congress issued the Great Seal of the United States in 1782, which featured an eagle flying independently with a red, white, and blue shield, it defined the flags colors for the first time.
The colours of the pales [stripes] are those used in the flag of the United States of America, the Journal of the Continental Congress recorded in 1782. White signifies purity and innocence. Red [means] hardiness and valour and Blue signifies vigilance, perseverance, and justice.
The congressional delegates knew 6,800 soldiers had died in battle and another 17,000 of disease. They had observed valor from heroes like Capt. John Paul Jones, who refused to surrender to the British with the vow, I have not yet begun to fight!
When they defined the flags red stripes, they also knew of the courage of everyday heroes such as Peter Salem. Salem is credited with fatally shooting Major Pitcairn, the British officer in command at the Battles of Lexington and Concord in 1775. Now, he is depicted in the large painting of the Battle of Bunker Hill hanging in the U.S. Capitol.
Congress was familiar with Phillis Wheatley, whose poems were well-known among her contemporaries, published in both a book and newspapers. She defined race not by skin color but by a shared hope for liberty. When she described America as the land of freedoms heaven-defended race, she captured the purity of the cause of liberty, reflected in the flags white stripes.
The congressional delegates knew spies had risked their lives to pass along intelligence for the cause. One spy was James Armistead, who embodied the vigilance and perseverance behind the color blue by infiltrating British Gen. Charles Cornwalliss command to keep watch for the Continental Army. Armistead gave Gen. Lafayette crucial information about the British plans at Yorktown, the Revolutions final battle.
In addition to representing the colors red, white, and blue, Salem, Wheatley, and Armistead have one other color in common. They were all black Americans. Each had been a slave but became free. Each believed in the first American flag and wanted America to throw off the tyranny of King George III and begin a more perfect union as the United States. Each wanted to see other slaves become free, too.
The meaning of the flag and its colors have not changed since 1777 and 1782. Our problem today is a lack of perspective, knowledge, and appreciation about the flag and the rich history of liberty it represents.Instead of emphasizing unity and what we have in common, the far left focuses on dividing people into groups, defining people as oppressors or victims based on their skin color, and canceling or censoring opponents.
The fact that American flags held by Trump supporters triggered a New York Times reporter is proof of this division, the opposite of the flags symbolism of unity. Rather than canceling her, remind your children, teachers, pastors, business associates, and friends of the flags meaning and the heroes who embodied its virtues. And wave the American flag proudly, on Flag Day and every day.

Democrat Infighting Over Israel Exposes The Left’s Incoherent Politics – The Federalist
Posted: at 7:41 am
On this episode of The Federalist Radio Hour, Assistant Editor Kylee Zempel and Senior Editor Christopher Bedford join Culture Editor Emily Jashinsky to discuss this week in politics including Democrat infighting over Rep. Ilhan Omars tweets comparing Hamas to the U.S. and Vice President Kamala Harriss botched responses to questions about the border crisis.
On the left, at the end of the day, theyreally do have a have a hard time figuring out what it is they like about the United States of America, Jashinky said. And when you sort of lose that foundation for your politics, its really hard to have a coherent politics.
These guys really do hate the country which makes them very different from a lot of the radical movements, Bedford said.
While infighting is nothing new, Zempel said she doesnt thinkIlhan Omars ideas are mainstream.
I dont think theyre readily adopted by the Democratic Party, Zempel said. You have these fringe movements, obviously, that have gained traction, infiltrated highereducation, lower education, and our media landscape, but I dont think they represent where a lot of Democratic votersand even candidates are in the rest of the country.

Baker Mayfield: Im in no rush to get the extension done and Ive bet on myself my whole life – cleveland.com
Posted: at 7:41 am
CLEVELAND, Ohio Baker Mayfield might feel the pressure on football field during camp, but hes not feeling it about his looming contract extension.
Im in no rush because Im just trying to win games,' the Browns quarterback said via Zoom Wednesday. Itll handle itself. Im sure [his agents} Tom and Jack Mills are handling that. I dont try and feed to much into that because thats wasting my time and energy and thought process on stuff that Im not in control of right now. So Im going to handle what I can control.'
In the event the Browns can Mayfields camp let the extension stretch into the 2021 season, Mayfield is confident it will work to his advantage. His current market value, according to spotrac.com is about $35 million a year, but he can climb into the $40 million-a-year-range if he has another outstanding season.
Ive bet on myself my whole life and Ive always taken it one day at a time, one play at a time,' he said. Im not going to handle it any differently now.'
Of course, the Browns have already picked up Mayfields fifth-year option for 2022 worth $18.86 million, so theres no sense of urgency to get the new deal done before training camp begins in late July. In fact, its more likely that it could spill into 2021, and even Browns owner Jimmy Haslam said during NFL Draft week that its really more a matter of when than if.
Like I keep saying, I think everything happens for a reason,' Mayfield said. I think the chips will fall where theyre supposed to. Im concerned about winning and thats what everybody in this building needs to be concerned about. Thats not saying that anybody is not, but the concern right now is winning and building a strong foundation for the season.'
Mayfield, the No. 1 overall pick in 2018, was glad to hear his 2018 draft classmates Denzel Ward and Nick Chubb say Tuesday that they want to be here in Cleveland more than anywhere. Ward even said hed love to finish his career here.
Obviously those guys are tremendous teammates, all coming in here together around the same time,' he said. Thatd be very special. But thats one of those things, I think everything happens for a reason and it will handle itself. Just worried about winning.'
Like Ward and Chubb, Mayfield knows that Cleveland is the perfect for him. He said it at the NFL Combine in 2018, and hes never wavered.
Yeah, I think the things that I said even before the draft, right after the draft, Clevelands a town, its about work ethic, a blue-collar mentality, and thats what Ive always been about,' he said. So I think thats why its been a great match.'
Two other quarterbacks from the 2018 class eligible for extensions this offseason are Baltimores Lamar Jackson and Buffalos Josh Allen. Their teams have also given them a vote of confidence and stated their intentions to get their new deals done.

N.L. government’s $505-million aid for Terra Nova a good deal, energy minister says – Kamloops This Week
Posted: at 7:41 am
ST. JOHN'S, N.L. A $505-million lifeline that helped keep an offshore oilfield alive is a good deal for the province, the Newfoundland and Labrador government said Thursday, even if it means it would reap just $35 million in royalties over the next decade.
Following Wednesday night's down-to-the-wire announcement that the Terra Nova oilfield would not be abandoned by its owners, Energy Minister Andrew Parsons said the real benefits to the province will come through jobs and taxes. Besides, he said, if the oilfield was shut down, there'd be no royalties at all.
"I think it's a really good move for this province," he told reporters Thursday morning. "We've minimized risk, we've protected the future, we've saved jobs."
The Terra Nova field sits about 350 kilometres southeast of St. John's and hasn't pumped oil since 2019. About 80 million barrels are still out there, but the field's infrastructure needs extensive retrofitting work to get the last of it.
The work was supposed to begin last spring and keep the field pumping for another decade, but the COVID-19 pandemic hit. By the end of 2020, when the work was supposed to be finished, the field's massive floating production and storage vessel was bobbing in the water near St. John's, dormant and nearly deserted.
Calgary-based Suncor Energy, Terra Nova's minority owner, was expected to make a call on Tuesday about the future of the field, with chief executive officer and president Mark Little having previously said that abandonment was a "real possibility."
Tuesday came and went without a word, and the company announced Wednesday night that instead of shutting the field down, the field's seven partners would reorganize their shares. Suncor will take on a 48 per cent stake in the project, up from 38 per cent, and Equinor confirmed Thursday it will bow out completely. No other information about the ownership changes has been provided.
Suncor said the newly rearranged partners would provide "short-term funding" for the project until the fall, when owners would make another decision about whether to proceed with the life-extension work.
The details still need to be finalized and approved, Suncor said, and the arrangement is contingent on the provincial government making good on its offer of $205 million in cash which will come from a $320-million fund offered by Ottawa last fall to bolster the sputtering oil sector and a royalty adjustment valued at about $300 million.
Meanwhile, the province's offer is contingent on the oilfield's partners moving ahead with the life-extension work to keep the field pumping for the next decade, Parsons confirmed Thursday.
If it all pans out, the new royalty deal will pay Newfoundland and Labrador $35 million over the extended 10-year lifespan of the project, the government said.
Premier Andrew Furey defended that amount Thursday, saying that Terra Nova has been "quite lucrative" for the province, royalty-wise, since it first started pumping in 2002.
"It's not uncommon in oil projects towards the end of their life, to have a look at the royalty regime," Furey told reporters.
Both Parsons and Furey emphasized that the $205 million in cash is coming from a federal fund specifically aimed at the offshore oil sector. "I can't spend it anywhere else, it has to be spent in oil and gas," Furey said.
He noted there was "massive" pressure on the government to buy an equity stake in the project, and said he was proud of Parsons for refusing, and for standing his ground throughout the tough negotiations.
Suncor is also a partner in the stalled West White Rose project, which is aimed at extending the life of the White Rose oilfield, about 50 kilometres east of Terra Nova.
The government gave majority owner Husky Energy, which is now Cenovus Energy, $41.5 million in December, also from the federal funding. When asked if he felt the much larger amount given to the Terra Nova operators would prompt Cenovus to ask for money, Parsons was resolute.
"Absolutely not," he said. "I think we've sent the message here that we will take a position, we will be firm, we will be fair. But when we draw the line, the line is there."
This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 17, 2021.

Want to see inside? | Bankers Life Fieldhouse closed for the summer for phase 2 of major renovations – WTHR
Posted: at 7:41 am
The three-year, three-phase project is funded in partnership with the Capital Improvement Board as part of the Pacers' 25-year extension of their lease.
INDIANAPOLIS Bankers Life Fieldhouse is closed for the summer for phase two of a $360 million renovation. Most of the work right now is demolition to make way for major improvements to the fan experience.
"It breaks my heart a little bit, said Mel Raines, Pacers Sports & Entertainment Executive Vice President for Corporate Communications, Community Engagement, and Facility Operations. My job is to make sure this place is clean and perfect for all of our fans who come to events. I know it's going to be better when it's done. But this part of demo is just amazing to watch how quickly it's going and how much it's going to transform the building."
Raines oversees the massive project, with work going 20 hours a day, seven days a week. She gave 13News a hard hat tour of the Fieldhouse Wednesday afternoon, with power tools and machinery raising a racket throughout the building. The three-year, three-phase project is funded in partnership with the Capital Improvement Board as part of the Pacers' 25-year extension of their lease on the Fieldhouse.
"It's got great bones, but it needed a little bit of love in some areas, said Raines. The fans of today's generation really want different experiences than they did in 1999, and we wanted to create that. When we're done, we'll have premium for everybody.
Phase one was completed in January, which included a new giant video scoreboard and new clubs and seating on the event level.
The Pacers missing the NBA playoffs allowed phase two to begin earlier than expected. The Indiana Fever have moved their games to Indiana Farmers Coliseum for the rest of the season.
Phase two focuses on the mid-level and entry pavilion. Mid-level seating, suites, concourses, concessions, and clubs will be brand new. More fans in more areas will be able to see the action even when they are not in their seats.
When fans return to the Fieldhouse in October, they'll see a huge change in the entry pavilion, with an expanded view right into the playing bowl from the moment they walk in the door. The classic box office is gone from the pavilion to provide a north entrance and view to the new outdoor plaza under construction.
"You can see this is really reimagining the Fieldhouse that we've all known and loved since 1999 into a new building."
Phase three next summer takes the renovations up to the balcony to complete the project inside and out by the fall of 2022.

Big blue crane made in Manitowoc makes its way safely to U.S. Navy shipyard in Maine – Herald Times Reporter
Posted: at 7:41 am
MANITOWOC After a few weeks of slow travel on a barge through the Great Lakes, the St. Lawrence Seaway and into the Atlantic Ocean, Big Blue as the crane built in Manitowoc is known on social media, has made it home.
The $55 million crane arrived at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine, near the border of New Hampshire in one piece on Tuesday.
The crane, able to lift140 tons, was manufactured by Konecranes in Manitowoc, and is able to lift twice the weight of current cranes in the Naval yard, though at 195 feet isnt twice as big as those machines.
Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, Kittery, Maine, June 15 2021: A new heavy lift portal crane arrives at the shipyard. As a field activity of NAVSEA, Portsmouth Naval Shipyard is the Navy's center of excellence for fast-attack submarine maintenance, modernization, and repair.

Big Blue extends heavy lifting capability to all the dry docks at the shipyard, according to Brendan Goodwin, head of the branch lifting and handling department. It will allow an increase in the scope of submarine overhaul and modernization work done at the site.
Construction of the crane was about a year-long process in Manitowoc and was made possible with the help of a $3.75 million grant from the Wisconsin Department of Transportations Harbor Assistance Program. Improvements allowed Konecranes and Broadwind Heavy Fabrications to assemble, test and transfer the larger cranes. More such contracts are expected to come overthe next decade.

These harbor improvements provide double benefits, Gov. Tony Evers said in a news release. The grant helped create new highly-skilled jobs in Wisconsin. It also helped contain transportation costs, making future manufacturing contracts even more attractive.
The governor said the grant connects the dots between quality transportation infrastructure, the success of local business and building strong communities.
The crane is part of the Navys multi-billion dollar plan to refurbish four public shipyards with modernized equipment, improved workflow and upgraded dry docks and facilities.

Global events have placed a great demand on our submarine fleet, Commander of the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Capt. Daniel Ettlich said in a news release. The new portal crane allows the shipyard to support service life-extension work, which increased the number of submarines available for the Navy during this critical time.
