SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – OVERNIGHT:

HYPOCRISY, THY NAME IS KERRY – FROM FOX:  Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) records indicate that the family of U.S. Special Envoy for Climate John Kerry owns a private jet, despite his position on combatting fossil fuels in the new administration.  The FAA's registry shows a Gulfstream Aerospace jet owned by Flying Squirrel LLC, the name previously reported for Teresa Heinz-Kerry's private charter jet company. The company's listed address matches that of the Heinz Family Foundation.  The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment. Neither did the Heinz family office.  According to FAA records, the jet's registration certificate was issued in July of 2005 and expires in October of 2023.  While it's unclear exactly how much Kerry benefited from his wife's company, private jets have been estimated to emit upward of 40 times as much carbon per passenger as commercial flights.  Nothing surprising here.  Standard hypocrisy of a certain class.  Teresa Heinz is from the ketchup people, and I just wonder if John can get Heinz ketchup to flow out of the bottle at 30,000 feet.
