KEY TAKEAWAYS
* The Biden administration seems bent on forcing defense contractors to comply with new climate pledges instead of protecting Americans from our enemies.
* The FAR Rule doesn’t just put America’s defense in second place, it actively takes money away from defense priorities.
* With one rulemaking, the rule could establish new priorities for about half the department’s budget by conscripting major contractors into a war on fossil fuels.
... At issue is a new rulemaking called the “FAR Rule” that uses a change to the Federal Acquisition Regulations to bulldoze federal contractors—including defense contractors—into compliance with the Paris climate accords, also known as the Paris Agreement.
Regulations are notoriously boring, but the stakes are high: In fiscal year 2021, the federal government obligated $637 billion through contracts that were subject to Federal Acquisition Regulations.
The FAR Rule should be dropped because it weakens our national security, wasn’t authorized by Congress, skirts required rulemaking procedures, and is so disruptive to the agencies involved that it likely triggers what’s called the Major Questions Doctrine.
The Congressional Research Service explains the doctrine thusly: “The Supreme Court has declared that if an agency seeks to decide an issue of major national significance, its action must be supported by clear congressional authorization.”

But their F-22s can still take out a guy with an AR-15? Right?
Not stupid. It’s a Marxist plot. Wake up
May as well send Biden to China as having him working for them here. He’s patriotic; just not for America.
You laugh, but I have seen something like this. I used to work with an engineering company that did some sub work for the US Army. They were working with tank engines trying to find the right boutique fuel that would reduce emissions on the battle field. Think that through. This was during the obama time.
The dopes are the people who voted for them.
Most of us know this but we have to make things palatable for the average moron to understand. Most people in this country are clueless. Lambs going to the slaughter.
Maybe he’ll send a force to Ukraine to police brass.
