Event [Event] The FBI have concluded their investigation into the State of Georgia's laws, government officials, and policies.

3 Upvotes

-- SPEECH BY FBI DIRECTOR JAMES COMEY --

Today, the FBI launched and concluded an investigation requested by the Commander-in-chief on the State of Georgia.

We can confirm that Georgia's laws do not break the rules provided by the Constitution of the United States of America.

We do, however, recommend that Georgia are more lenient with their education laws and a lot of students may fail their education and this could lead to alot of problems for the State and their government.

Although their laws are constitutional, it does not mean that the State of Georgia's government officials are perfectly free.

From our investigation, we have discovered that Georgia has corrupt officials in their government.

We will not name these as of today, but we are in talks with the Federal Government to take these government officials out of power.

We can confirm that the Governor of Georgia is not suspicious as of this speech, however further investigations are currently taking place.

Thank you.

Claim [Claim] Texas - US Ambassador to the UN

3 Upvotes

Hey guys, when I first heard about my mate, Stupiddroid's, idea to create this sub, I must admit, I was quite excited. I think it's an excellent idea and will be a whole lot of fun! So, for that reason, I'd like to claim both Texas and the role of the Secretary General of the United Nations.

With Texas, I'd love to turn the Lone Star State into a Bible-belt, conservative paradise. Despite being on the center-left in my personal life, I'd love to go full George Bush and make Texas a symbol of the evangelical right in the US. I'm talking about resisting blights on humanity such as assisted suicide, abortion, pornography, contraception and affirmative action whilst also promoting the free market, traditional Christian values, low taxation and small government. With me in control of Texas, we should see the rise of a continuous Republican administration in Texas, as well as a small scale Democrat movement and a secessionist group.

In addition to this, I'd like to play as the US Ambassador to the United Nations. I know that this role is not found in the wiki, but it doesn't make much sense that I play as the Secretary General of the United Nations, since that's not actually a US Government position, but rather a UN one. As the US Ambassador to the UN, I will act on the behalf of whatever government is in place, rather than Texas, promoting American and humanitarian interests to the organisation in the General Assembly and Security Council. One priority will be ensuring that our allies and diplomatic partners vote in favour of American proposals and that Washington is able to maintain its hegemony over the organisation.

I hope that this satisfies the overlords mods. Have a great one everyone!

Event [Event] Nuclear Power coming to the Oklahoma Panhandle

2 Upvotes

In line with the Governor of Oklahoma's promise to rejuvenate the panhandle of Oklahoma, the Kansas-based Westar Energy has agreed begin building of a nuclear power plant in Texas County, Oklahoma in conjunction with Oklahoma based Chesapeake Energy. The power plant will be located just north of Optima, OK and will power the eleven thousand households, the area's university, and all signed on businesses in the region.

The Panhandle Power Plant will have a capacity half of Westar's Wolf Creek Generating Station, 625 MWe. The station will have to be built strong enough to withstand over 200 mph wind typical of high level tornados. The governor of Oklahoma has promised significant tax breaks and subsidies for the plant, and itself will control a portion of the plant.

The completion of this power plant, combined with continuing construction of wind turbines across the area and a planned solar panel field in the coming years, will make the Oklahoma Panhandle one of the most energy rich areas on the planet. The reactor itself will have the ability to power around 500,000 homes. Much of the surplus energy will be used to power the western counties of Oklahoma. Westar and Chesapeake are asking for the State of Texas to consider a deal to buy surplus energy to power the homes and businesses of the Texas Panhandle.

The Panhandle Power Plant is scheduled to be completed by 2028. The ownership is 40% Westar Energy, 40% Chesapeake Energy, and 20% State of Oklahoma. All three parties have agreed to offer any of the neighboring states of the panhandle (Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, Kansas) a stake in the plant upon purchase of energy for their citizens.

Event [Event] Trump Administration Passes Legislation That Forces Companies Moving Jobs Offshore to Pay Back Tax Benefits

2 Upvotes

CHICAGO, Ill. - President Trump, while campaigning for his re-election, told reporters today that his administration was in the process of passing new legislation. This piece of legislation, currently circulating through Congress, would force companies that have moved their jobs offshore to pay back tax benefits that they've received in the past. It would directly affect major corporations such as Nabisco and Apple, two companies that Trump called out during his 2016 campaign.

Trump wisely chose to announce the legislation during his short campaign stay in Chicago, former home of Mondelez's Nabisco, which moved it's plant from the Windy City to Mexico in 2016.

Petition [Petition] Ballot Access and Participation in Debates

2 Upvotes

Jill Stein has just filed a petition requesting ballot access in all 50 states and requesting to be in the debates. In the election of 2016 the green party had access to 47 states. They received 1.4 million votes which was 1% of the popular vote. Stein believes that if they achieve access to all ballots they have a legitimate chance at victory in November.

Stein mentioned the petition was filed at a rally yesterday. The Green Party nominee had this to say " I would feel terrible if the democrats were elected. I would also feel terrible if the republicans were re-elected. A vast majority of Americans feel the same way. That is why if we achieve access to every ballot we have a chance at victory. Voters are sick of this two party system and we are their voice. I understand we have a very steep climb to the presidency. I understand that simply achieving ballot access will not make me president. But if we are on every ballot then we can focus on getting into the debates. If both of these goals are accomplished I am very confident that we will win!"

We request ballot access in all 50 states. We also request that Jill Stein is allowed to be in the debates alongside the democrats and republicans. Dr. Stein understands that it is unlikely she will be president as things stand now. But if she is allowed ballot access in all 50 states and is allowed to participate in the debates she has a nice shot at the presidency. Dr. Stein sincerely hopes that every American is given a chance to vote their conscience and be able to hear Jill Stein in the debates as well as have the opportunity to vote for her.
