Fox News: Joe Manchin abruptly tanks Biden nominee picked to oversee admin's crackdown on gas stoves
The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee has canceled a vote on Jeff Marootian's nomination, President Biden's choice to oversee energy efficiency regulations, amid concerns about a DOE proposal. The DOE wants new stove efficiency rules, which, while they would only apply to new stoves, are part of the administration-wide effort to eliminate fossil fuels that's caused concern, Committee Chairman Joe Manchin said. The committee was due to advance Marootian's nomination to a full floor vote but has postponed consideration for now.
While Committee Chairman Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., previously supported Jeff Marootian's nomination, the senator has pulled the agenda item to consider Marootian's nomination because of concerns about a DOE proposal for new stove efficiency standards, which have been criticised for being part of an administration-wide effort to eliminate fossil fuels. The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee was due to vote on Marootian's nomination but has now cancelled the vote and said that it'll just consider the 21 other agenda items for now.

Senator Dianne Feinstein's return to the Senate has sparked controversy over her health and ability to do her job.

Fox News: GOP, Democrats team up to block China from buying up US farmland

Breitbart: Nolte: Bud Light Sales Continue to Collapse for the CNN of Beers
Sales of Bud Light have decreased by 23.3% compared to last year's sales, with Michelob Ultra and Budweiser also seeing a decline. This fall comes after points of view were expressed that the company's progressive political leanings, which have become exemplified in its advertisements, have cost it, with Pabst Blue Ribbon's and Miller High Life's sales rising. Possible recovery strategies consider redesigns and targeting 'red America' with stereotypical images, as sport, US military and country and western songs are incorporated into adverts. However, Bud Light's association with the left may have caused irreparable brand damage.

The Epoch Times: Consumer Council Finds Variations in Performance of Adult Diapers, Some Basic Findings
Hong Kong Consumer Council tested adult diapers, incontinence pads, and adult pants to evaluate their absorption capabilities, breathability, hygiene standards, presence of harmful chemicals, and pH levels. The study identified that a few products contained irritant chemicals, which could potentially cause skin allergies with prolonged use. Consumers must consider the user's health condition when purchasing and manufacturers should ensure safety standards.
The Council recommends selecting products based on the individual's incontinence level. High breathability and fast absorption pull-up pants are recommended for individuals with moderate to severe incontinence who can walk independently or with assistance. Urine leakage pads can be considered if the incontinence is mild. Consumers are encouraged to choose the most suitable product, maintain healthy habits, and ensure a proper fit and size to avoid skin irritation.
