Schumer, Katzenberg to Biden: Get Out

Former President Donald Trump has demonstrated serious heroism in the wake of the attempt on his life. Not only did he stand up after the bullet grazed his ear, pump his fist, and make sure he made contact with his supporters while telling them to keep fighting — but he has already completely changed his RNC 2024 speech to allegedly focus on unity instead of political jabs. Glenn Beck is thoroughly impressed and has an idea of what he hopes Trump will tell the nation in his speech. “I would hope the president will come out and say something along the lines of ‘We’re standing here today because America is resilient. A few days ago, somebody tried to kill me, but by God’s grace that bullet only grazed me,’” Glenn says. “When you have a bullet whiz by your head, there’s two ways to go. One is vengeance and the other is unity. And our nation is divided. Trust is low in our neighborhoods, in the media, everywhere,” he continues. Despite knowing exactly what Trump meant, Glenn also believes he needs to address his use of the word “fight” that he yelled while pumping his fist. “When I say ‘fight,’ what I mean is the little guy needs to rise up. Make sure your voice is heard, to be not afraid. We need to fight, but not with violence. We fight with our words, we fight on the streets with our words and with our actions,” he explains. “Let’s show the rest of the world what it means to be American,” he continues. “Every voice matters, every citizen matters. Stand up for the principles in our Bill of Rights. Defend the truth with integrity and courage. Forgive others without compromising our values.” Glenn leaves one parting message for Trump. “It is important today that we all reach out to somebody that doesn’t agree with us, that is a friend. Just say, ‘How you doing today? Yeah, I know our guy was shot, but I want you to know I don’t hold you responsible for that, I’m sure you were just as offended as I was,’” he says. “If they weren’t, move on. But most likely, any decent American was horrified by what they saw.” Want more from Glenn Beck?To enjoy more of Glenn’s masterful storytelling, thought-provoking analysis, and uncanny ability to make sense of the chaos, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

The largest commercial offshore wind farm in the United States has been temporarily shut down after a "blade failure incident" over the weekend dumped debris into the ocean near the Island of Nantucket, Massachusetts, debris that soon made its way to nearby beaches.Just seven short months ago, the wind farm owned by Vineyard Wind, a joint venture between Avangrid and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, began operating about 15 miles off the coast of Massachusetts. Vineyard Wind eventually plans to have 62 turbines in the area, but for now, just 10 are operational, contributing about 136 megawatts to the regional grid, WGBH reported.'The people of Massachusetts shouldn’t be forced to spend their hard-earned money on precarious energy sources resulting in environmental cleanups and unreliable, unproven outcomes.'These turbines are massive, reaching a height of over 850 feet. Each turbine is also outfitted with three blades that are longer than a football field.On Saturday, one blade on one of the turbines "experienced a breakage approximately 20 meters out from the root," said Vineyard Wind spokesperson Craig Gilvarg. Despite the damage, the blade remains attached to the turbine.Still, the "breakage" was enough to dump hundreds of blade fragments into the water. Gilvarg described this debris as "non-toxic fiberglass," but the Nantucket Harbormaster noted that these fiberglass shards are nevertheless "sharp." For this reason, Nantucket officials encouraged people to "wear appropriate footwear" when walking along the beaches and "to leave pets at home."By Tuesday afternoon, the debris became such a problem that the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement announced that "operations" of the Vineyard Wind farm had been "shut down until further notice." The island's south shore beaches were likewise closed as company crews worked to clean up the mess. It hasn't been easy. As of Wednesday afternoon, six full truckloads of blade debris had been removed from the area, the AP reported, enough to allow the south shore beaches to reopen for swimming and other "recreational activities."Thus far, no injuries have been reported. GE, the company which manufactures and installs the turbines, "will now be conducting the analysis into the root cause of the incident," Vineyard Wind said."We’re making progress in the debris recovery efforts and mobilizing even more resources on the island to hasten the cleanup as quickly as possible," said a statement from Vineyard Wind CEO Klaus Moeller. "The public can have confidence that we will be here as long as it takes to get the job done and make sure the beaches are cleaned up."Despite the progress, residents and area officials are demanding answers. At a town Select Board meeting on Wednesday, evening, Select Board member Malcolm MacNab called out Vineyard Wind for the assertion that the debris was "non-toxic.""It IS toxic material," he insisted. "The whole thing upsets me."Paul Craney of the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance is likewise "upset" by "the whole thing," including that turbines can suffer such a catastrophic breakdown after only a few months of use."There should be an immediate investigation to determine if the other current turbines are dysfunctional and the turbines in production," Craney told Blaze News. "The people of Massachusetts shouldn’t be forced to spend their hard-earned money on precarious energy sources resulting in environmental cleanups and unreliable, unproven outcomes."Like Blaze News?
