Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum knows that batteries exist and how they work. He’s just betting on you not knowing that batteries exist and/or how they work. #makelyingwrongagain
Burgum: "When the sun goes down, you have a catastrophic failure called sunset and there's no solar energy produced, and yet we're subsidizing these things that are intermittent, unreliable, and expensive. We've gotta get back to base load."

Two veterans made their way onto a military base in Washington State and attacked a soldier with a hammer as they tried to steal combat equipment, the authorities said. The theft led investigators to a house full of Nazi paraphernalia and a stockpile of stolen weapons.
