Energy Demand To Double by 2030

Texas’ power grid demand is forecast to nearly double by 2030, according to ERCOT, the state’s grid operator.

Roughly 60% of the new demand is attributed to Bitcoin mining and AI data centers, which can draw many times more energy than traditional data centers. 

“They produce very few jobs compared to the incredible demands they place on our grid. Crypto mining may actually make more money selling electricity back to the grid than from their crypto mining operations,” Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick said.

ERCOT has warned of a 12% chance of rolling blackouts and a 16% chance of emergency in August due to high demand and extreme weather.

Judge Blocks Expanded Gun Checks

A federal judge has blocked the enforcement of expanded background checks for gun sales in Texas and three other states.

The judge granted a temporary injunction that halts a recent federal mandate requiring more comprehensive background checks for certain private gun sales.

The ruling follows Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s lawsuit arguing that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives exceeded its authority and violated the Second Amendment in implementing the mandate.

Texas House GOP Censures 4 Republicans  

The Texas House Republican Caucus reprimanded four of its members who campaigned against Republican incumbents, a violation of caucus bylaws.

Reps. Brian Harrison (Midlothian), Nate Schatzline (Fort Worth), Tony Tinderholt (Arlington), and Steve Toth (The Woodlands) were formally rebuked in a censure resolution adopted by the caucus’s executive committee on Monday.

“We are proud to have helped many true conservatives join the Texas House; something we will continue to do, regardless of any absurd caucus rules designed to protect the uniparty swamp,” the censured members said in a statement.

Sublingual Testosterone; Now Legal In All 50 States

No Prescription, No Needles & No Side Effects

I am medical scientist Clint Winters. 

In the world of men’s optimization, TRT is considered the “holy grail.”

… And now it JUST got a lot safer and more affordable. 

Men, if you want to look and feel up to 10 years younger in the next 30 days, please take a look at this bombshell special report.

Top scientists have successfully extracted human-grade testosterone from a natural source and suspended it in an easy-to-use sublingual liquid (just placed under your tongue every morning). 

This is not a “booster”; this is REAL testosterone entering your body.

As each day passes, your “Free T” levels will reach higher and higher levels.

This means you could be days away from stronger muscles, less fat, increased confidence and energy, and the best “intimacy” of your life. 

… All at 1/10th the cost of expensive TRT shots.

Best of all, there are no documented side effects after extensive testing on nearly 35,000 aging men.

This means you can use it even if you have pre-existing health issues that kept you from TRT.
