The Conservative Cave

The man who tried to destroy James O’Keefe, Matthew Tyrmand, a former Project Veritas board member, admits he was an FBI and SDNY informant against O’Keefe.

On video, he says O’Keefe is evil and wanted him in prison or dead. At one point, Tyrmand wanted to carve out O’Keefe’s heart and eat it.

He thinks most people on the Right are corrupt, including Charlie Kirk. He is the only one who isn’t corrupt and is on all sides. Tyrmand got a call from the FBI saying he was on an enemy list, so he fed the SDNY “tons of shit,” and that’s why he did it: to “get him in prison,” meaning O’Keefe. Tyrmand said all the FBI agents are wonderful. He never met a bad one.

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin teased Tuesday that the agency will announce a significant change to the start-stop feature in automobiles sometime this week after receiving feedback from Americans.

"Countless Americans passionately despise the start/stop feature in cars," Zeldin posted to X. "So many have spoken out against this absurd start-stop-start-stop-start-stop concept. The Trump Admin has heard your calls and the announcement you have been waiting for is coming THIS WEEK. Stay tuned!"
...
The feature is designed to be climate-friendly by automatically turning off a car when it has stopped in order to save fuel and reduce emissions, and then starting it back up again when the driver releases the brake or hits the accelerator.

FCC chair Brendan Carr has a pointed question for California Gov. Gavin Newsom, politely paraphrased as, "Where in the actual hell did the $450 million go, and where's that new 911 system it was supposed to buy?"

The same week he was first sworn in as governor, Newsom said, "The idea that it's 2019, and we are using analog systems designed decades ago is astounding, and we need to make investments to make sure the technology aligns with the devices people are using in their daily lives." He added that "California's antiquated, analog microwave network must be upgraded to a digital network to maintain safety operations."

That was seven years ago. Since then, Newsom spent $450 million to build a new system, "but when it came time to turn it on, it did not work," Carr wrote on Tuesday. This makes it even more astounding that California still relies on analog systems designed decades ago.
...
Progress is uneven, and not quite 20 states have fully implemented the NG911standard or been rated as "high-deployment." Some, like Indiana, have had NG911 in place since before COVID; others just have pilot programs in place.

But none except California has spent so much money only to report zero progress. California can't point to partial implementation, has no pilot programs in place — literally nothing to show for 450 million tax dollars. Newsom might as well have spent it on hair product, and for all I know, he probably did. Worse, California's antiquated system is literally failing, according to both the FCC and Sacramento.

New FCC rules are meant to speed along compliance among the laggards, which is why Carr on Tuesday reminded Newsom that "when first responders tried to activate your system, emergency 911calls were lost and misrouted, and a 12-hour outage followed when residents were unable to call 911. You are now scrapping the plan and going back to the drawing board."

      Oh, I am sure that guy loves kids. No doubt whatsoever.
