Gov. DeSantis Claims Credit for Sending 2 Planes of Migrants to Martha’s Vineyard
Gov.
DeSantis Claims Credit , for Sending 2 Planes of Migrants to Martha’s Vineyard.
According to a statement DeSantis' office emailed to CNN,
the Florida governor says he sent two planes carrying
about 50 migrants to Martha's Vineyard on Sept.
14.
States like Massachusetts, New York and California will better facilitate the care of these individuals who they have invited into our country by incentivizing illegal immigration through their designation as 'sanctuary states' and support for the Biden Administration's open border policies, Gov.
Ron DeSantis, via statement.
Julian Cyr, who represents Martha's Vineyard, said,
"There was no advance notice to anyone in
Martha's Vineyard or Massachusetts that these
migrants were arriving to my knowledge." .
The island scrambled to respond.
They essentially set up shelters, the equivalent of a hurricane or Nor'easter.
They set that up in a matter of hours and these families received a meal.
They were COVID tested and are spending the night in shelters at several churches on the island, Julian Cyr, who represents Martha's Vineyard, via CNN.
Massachusetts Gov.
Charlie Baker
issued a statement.
The Baker-Polito Administration is in touch with local officials regarding the arrival of migrants in Martha's Vineyard.
At this time, short-term shelter services are being provided by local officials, and the Administration will continue to support those efforts, Gov.
Charlie Baker, via statement.
Democratic officials in Florida responded to the move by DeSantis on Sept.
14.
Even for Ron DeSantis, this is a new low.
There is nothing that DeSantis won't do, and nobody that he won't hurt, in order to score political points, Manny Diaz, Florida Democratic Chair, via statement.
Crisis in Haiti , Could Drive Another Wave of , Illegal Immigration in the US.
'Newsweek' reports that the United States
could be facing another wave of illegal
immigration driven by refugees fleeing Haiti.
On March 11, President Ariel Henry said
he would resign amid widespread gang
violence and a breakdown of law and order.
An estimated 80% of Port-au-Prince,
the Haitian capital, are under
the control of armed gangs.

The driving conditions in Haiti

via 'Newsweek'.
Thomas Gift, the head of the Centre on U.S. Politics
at University College London, warned that
a deepening immigration crisis would pose
a serious challenge for the Biden administration.
Fair or unfair, anything that
highlights the immigration
crisis is a net negative
for Biden at the moment, Thomas Gift, the head of the Centre on U.S. Politics

To the extent that the tragedy
in Haiti puts a new refugee story
in the headlines, it will only make
the immigration issue more
salient for American voters. , Thomas Gift, the head of the Centre on U.S. Politics
at University College London, via 'Newsweek'.
At the same time, Biden's
hands will no doubt be tied
by progressive groups who
will insist that the White House
not repatriate refugees back to
Haiti given the huge political
instability in the country, Thomas Gift, the head of the Centre on U.S. Politics
at University College London, via 'Newsweek'.
According to a Monmouth University survey,
84% of voters in the U.S. consider illegal
immigration a "serious" or "very serious" issue.
In 2021, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis declared
a state of emergency after hundreds of
migrants from Haiti and Cuba arrived by boat.
An estimated 146,000 Haitian migrants
were encountered at the U.S. border
between October 2020 and May 2023

separate from its booster, arrive in space, open its
payload door and then fly halfway around the Earth.

accomplished all of the major tests
SpaceX had laid out prior to launch.
Starship is the largest and most
powerful rocket ever built, with
a towering height of 397 feet. .
CEO Elon Musk said prior to launch that the
company had made thousands of upgrades and
fixes to improve the chances of a successful test.

Aging Energy Infrastructure, Plus Climate Change, Are a Growing Risk.
NPR reports that Texas investigators say that a power pole , "that appeared to be decayed at the base", was the cause of the worst wildfire in the state's history.
Xcel Energy, the state's electric
utility, said in a statement that , "its facilities appear to have been involved
in an ignition of the Smokehouse Creek fire.".
Rob Gramlich, president of consulting firm
Grid Strategies, warns that many of the U.S.'s
power lines were built 60 to 70 years ago. .
According to Gramlich, most electric utility providers
in the U.S. lack the technology to let them know
when power lines are overheating or sagging.
Combined with increased temperatures
and drier vegetation, this aging infrastructure
could spark larger, more intense wildfires.
There are some utilities
that are really leaders and
are getting ahead of the risk, Michael Wara, director of the Climate and Energy
Policy Program at the Woods Institute for
the Environment at Stanford University, via NPR.
And then there are others

cost of energy bills across the nation.

in terms of our pocketbooks –
to have utilities be perceived
by their investors as high risk, Michael Wara, director of the Climate and Energy

February 18, 1930.
Once believed to be the ninth planet,
Pluto was discovered at the Lowell Observatory
in Flagstaff, AZ, by astronomer Clyde W. Tombaugh.
Tombaugh discovered the
tiny dwarf planet using a new astronomic technique
of photographic plates combined with a blink microscope.
Pluto was given the Roman name for the
god of the underworld in Greek mythology
due to its surface temperature of -360° F.
Nearly four billion miles away from the sun,
it takes Pluto approximately
248 years to complete one orbit. .
Pluto's only known moon, Charon,
has a diameter of a mere 737 miles.
In 2006, it was announced that Pluto would
no longer be considered a planet because its
orbit crosses into the orbit of planet Neptune.
While widely referred to as a dwarf planet, many argue that it should still be considered a planet.

Lithium Extraction Project , Worries Those Who Rely on , Water From Colorado River.
Lithium is used to manufacture

The Paradox Basin, a geologic formation shared by Utah,
Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona, has been analyzed

The basin's groundwater has been found
to be rich in lithium salts and other minerals
left over from millions of years ago when
the area was repeatedly flooded and drained.
Australia-based Anson Resources has also
reportedly acquired rights to freshwater
sourced from the nearby Green River. .
The company's plans have given rise
to questions about how the groundwater
and river water are interconnected, in addition
to the impact of lithium on the environment.
'The Guardian' points out that the Green River is
a tributary of the crucial Colorado River, which
supplies water for 40 million people in the West.
We need to have a renewable+ energy
transition, but maybe we shouldn’t be

solutions on a drought-stricken river, Lauren Wood, a third-generation resident

process of direct lithium extraction actually is.

record to have been established, Michael McKibben, professor at the University

Trump Can’t Obtain Appeal Bond , in New York Fraud Case.
According to a New York court filing
on March 18, Trump isn't able to secure a
$454 million bond as he appeals a civil business
fraud judgement against him, CNBC reports. .
Trump's attorneys said that getting the bond is "impossible" since it would "effectively" require "cash reserves approaching $1 billion.".
Defendants’ ongoing diligent
efforts have proven that a bond
in the judgment’s full amount
is ‘a practical impossibility.’, Donald Trump's lawyers, via CNBC.
Gary Giulietti, president of the
Northeast division of the Lockton Companies, was hired to help Trump obtain a bond.
Despite scouring the market, we have
been unsuccessful in our effort ... for the
simple reason that obtaining an appeal bond
for $464 million is a practical impossibility
under the circumstances presented, Gary Giulietti, president of the Northeast
division of the Lockton Companies, via CNBC.
Simply put, a bond of this
size is rarely, if ever, seen, Gary Giulietti, president of the Northeast
division of the Lockton Companies, via CNBC.
In the unusual circumstance that a bond of
this size is issued, it is provided to the largest
public companies in the world, not to
individuals or privately held businesses, Gary Giulietti, president of the Northeast
division of the Lockton Companies, via CNBC.
Giulietti went on to say that a private company would need about $1 billion to put up as collateral to receive a bond of that size. .
While it is my understanding that
the Trump Organization is in a strong
liquidity position, it does not have
$1 billion in cash or cash equivalents, Gary Giulietti, president of the Northeast
