Fascinating, about something that most of us would be completely unaware. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Arbitrary Decision of Federal Bureaucrats Impoverishes Alaskan Natives This might come as a surprise, but native Alaskans living on remote islands in the Tongass National Forest pay more than five times what most Americans pay for electricity. The average retail price for electricity in the U.S. was 12.5 cents per kilowatt-hour in 2022. But this small, low-income community pays 65 cents per kilowatt-hour even though their supplier – the Inside Passage Electric Cooperative (IPEC) – is a consumer-owned nonprofit.

This May Prove the $260K Wires From China Were for Joe Biden [...] subpoenaed bank records show that Hunter Biden received wire transfers totaling $260,000 from communist China in the late summer of 2019. What made these wire transfers particularly interesting was that they listed Joe Biden's Delaware residence as the beneficiary address for the funds. [...] It is true that Hunter spent time living in his daddy's house off and on between 2017 and 2019. That makes it conceivable that he was living there at the time of the wire transfers, thus offering a simple explanation for why Hunter Biden would have had the wires sent there: that's where he happened to be living at the time. But it turns out, Hunter wasn't living there when the wire transfers were made.

It has taken so long for some ROCs to be approved that the applicant becomes eligible for naturalization in the meantime. After the N-400 is filed, the local office will have the ROC and N-400 packages in front of them, and they'll adjudicate the ROC first during the same interview session.

Perhaps. Conversely, on the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton radio show, those two think that RFK Jr. will sap more votes from the Republican, whether Trump or whoever.

As does pretty much everyone in every cemetery!
