MillennialMikey here and….We Need 2 Talk! In this article I would like to do some dot connecting. I did a video on this topic I will be speaking on back in September which I will attack at the bottom of the article. We are going to talk about a COVID-Climate Change Crossover. As I spoke of in my previous article  ,  COVID-19 is being used as a smokescreen to initiate a great reset. However, this is not only the case. Because eventually the COVID narrative will expire, so then it will be on to the next one. My opinion is that the next stage will be to propagandize people into the climate change narrative. Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus of the World Health Organization stated that: “ We have no guarantee that any vaccine we have in development would work .” The way I see it is that the WHO and the UN are hinting that even after the vaccines are administered, people will still be subjected to the WHO’s public health “guidelines”, like continued wearing of “sheep muzzles” (masks). It is my opinion that . As I have stated in past videos of mine, when you are subjected to the “sheep muzzle”, you repeatedly inhale your own carbon dioxide. The UN may begin to tell people that ever since the masks have been mandated there has been a reduction in CO2 emissions in the atmosphere slowing down climate change. In an article titled    from AFA.net, it says:  ” . It is, as scientists say, indispensible for life on our planet.   . , which is a nice thing if you like to breathe.” Now I don’t know about you, but I enjoy breathing oxygen. In 2020, the majority of people have been oxygen deprived because of the engineered fear cause by the MSM due to this “COVID scamdemic”. In addition, apparently plants enjoy absorbing CO2 that we exhale so they can grow as well. Again, if these global organizations like the UN or the WHO try to convince you that CO2 is the enemy, do not fall for this absolute LIE! In another article titled    found on Heartland.org, this quote destroys the “CO2 is toxic” narrative: “ Atmospheric carbon dioxide is currently only 410 parts per million. That means (compared to 0.03 percent one century ago). Only one molecule in 2,500 is carbon dioxide. “ Well how do you like that? CO2 makes up 0.04% of our atmosphere. That’s even less than the . In another article called  ,  it states the following: “ . Deforestation, which occurs mostly for agricultural purposes, is the largest cause of habitat loss worldwide. Loss of habitat forces animals to migrate and potentially contact other animals or people and share germs. “ It begins by saying that because of the root causes of climate change, the risk of pandemics increase. So the globalist organizations may say that because of this, COVID-19 restrictions must continue (sheep muzzle mandates, social isolation, potential future lockdowns, etc.). But even more alarming is the last two sentences of this quote. Because as many of us who are paying attention are aware is that . But his also plays into the climate change narrative as well. Even more of a red flag is because of this euthanizing of livestock, this is contributing to food shortages. But not to worry. Bill Gates (remember that guy?) and Richard Branson have .  So to close out this article, I leave you with my video entitled  C4:COVID-Climate Change Crossover . See you in the next article.

(Hysteria, exaggeration and hype are the daily bread of politicians and journalists these days) The absurd, indefensibly unscientific rules and restrictions introduced in the name of a fairly average but strongly marketed version of the flu will now be matched with new rules and regulations brought in to protect us from the entirely non-existent threat of global warming. Pensioners, investors and company employees now have to worry about something called ‘ecoside’ which a panel of lawyers describes as ‘unlawful or wanton acts committed in the knowledge that there is a high chance they could cause severe and either widespread or long-term damage to the environment’. The mad Pope and barmy Macron want ecoside to be a crime alongside war crimes and genocide. This new lunacy will push many businesses into bankruptcy. Anyone with a private pension will see its value plummet. Pension funds are terrified of upsetting the mad cultists and so they suck up to companies which promise to protect the planet. The result is deteriorating pensions. Supermarkets and restaurants are predicting permanent shortages caused by mad rules and regulations designed to thwart non-existent global warming. Energy suppliers are going bust, fertiliser plants had to close and the changeover to E10 ‘green’ petrol caused the fuel shortage. Motorists using the new green petrol, which contains biofuel, will be helping kill poor people by starvation. Oil companies are unable to raise cash to explore for oil and gas so we’re rapidly running out of the stuff. Without oil and gas there will be no heat, no transport, no machinery and very little food for those of us who aren’t billionaires. Unbelievably, and unforgivably, doctors writing in the British Medical Journal have called for the medical profession to do less investigations (X-rays and blood tests) of patients and to cut back on prescribing treatment ‘to help combat climate change’. ‘The climate emergency is the true health crisis of our time,’ said a spokesperson for the medical establishment who (and I say this with all due respect) seems to me to have had their brain removed and replaced with that of 12-year-old. The plain truth is that I know of not one jot of scientific evidence for the myth of climate change. Those who talk about flooding and disappearing cities are hysterical and deluded. Powerful, irresponsible media forces such as the BBC suppress debate about the climate in just the same way that they’ve suppressed debate about covid. The hysteria is so acute that brain-dead protestors happily stop ambulances – even if people die. (I wonder if those protestors would complain if they were run over by a 12 wheeler?) The aim, make no mistake, is to bankrupt you, wreck every aspect of your life and then to kill you. It is entirely the fault of the global warming cultists that energy and food prices are rising. Household energy prices will rise by at least 30% next year. As with covid-19, everything that is happening is happening on purpose. Nothing is by accident or incompetence. The evil forces behind the myth are responsible for the fuel shortages, the higher gas and electricity prices which will result in millions having to choose between eating and keeping warm, higher fuel prices, the food shortages, the coming inflation, the interest rate rises which will bankrupt many home owners and small businesses. In China the authorities are rationing electricity. Smart meters will make that easy to manage here. (If you were conned into having one – make them take it out!) Governments everywhere have an encyclopaedia of excuses for the chaos that will engulf us this winter but there’s really one cause: the madness of the greens, the pseudo-environmentalists and the climate change cultists. The truth is that the global warming fraud is the most immoral confidence trick in history. And the damage these lunatics are doing is terrifying. Unbelievably, for example, the BMJ, has published suggestion that doctors should put global warming concerns above patients – cutting back on trying to diagnose cancer early in order to save Big Ben from disappearing under 100 foot waves a week on Wednesday. This seems to me to be childish pseudoscientific gibberish but it is also terrifyingly wicked. The climate nutters claim they represent the majority. But the reality is that they represent a tiny group of obsessed and noisy cultists who have been fired into action and supported by the globalists. The cultists are as mad as hatters and their insanity justifies them being diagnosed as mentally ill. If the people at large knew the background, the purpose, the science and the consequences there wouldn’t be enough supporters to fill a railway carriage. Cultists claim that over 40% of our electricity is made from renewables but that’s nonsense. Most of the electricity in that 40% is produced by burning biomass. And what is biomass? It’s a fashionable word for bits of tree. Trees in America are cut down with petrol powered saws, turned into chips or pellets by fossil fuel powered machinery, transported to diesel powered ships and then brought across the Atlantic, carried in diesel powered lorries to be burnt in power stations. Much diesel is required for their transportation. The bottom line is that biomass is less environmentally friendly than coal. The mad cultists claim respect for trees. They claim that trees are essential for the planet’s health. But they chop them down and burn them to make electricity. They chop down town and city centre trees so that they don’t interfere with the 5G reception that no one wants and many people fear. The biomass lunacy is as daft as the craze for biofuels. Here the idea is that we grow our fuel. Sounds good until you realise that the stuff being used to make biofuel is the same stuff people eat. The more biofuel we use the more starving people there will be. Millions of children in Africa will die so that middle class Guardian reading loonies can power their car with food. It is traditionally impossible to make steel without coal. But according to The Guardian (the house journal of woke greens and hysterical exhibitionists and vax-mad nutters) there are plans afoot to manufacture steel without using coal. So how can this be done? Apparently the new green steel will be made using hydrogen as a fuel instead of coal. And where does the hydrogen come from? Well, since pure hydrogen is hard to come by it has to be produced by the electrolysis of water (which consumes a great deal of energy) or from fossil fuels. The bottom line is that 95% of the hydrogen we use is made with the fossil fuels. So, that’s how they’re going to make green steel without burning fossil fuels. They’re going to make hydrogen by burning fossil fuels and then using the hydrogen to make the steel. Aha! Another brilliant scam. Wind and solar farms are a joke. On still days (more common than you’d think) the windmills have to be kept turning with electricity from the grid. If they aren’t kept turning they seize up. The electricity to keep the windmills turning is obtained from burning fossil fuels. The building and installation of windmills requires so much energy that they are of negative value – in other words they never produce as much power as was employed in their manufacture. Solar farms are similarly pointless. There is rarely enough sunshine in the UK to keep them working and they too require more energy than they produce. Then there is ‘rewilding’ – this year’s hot word that has replaced ‘sustainability’ in the cultist’s dictionary. The idea is that you leave land alone, and allow nature to take over. The greens think that if you do we’ll end up with loads of flower meadows. But if you let land go back to nature you end up with endless, unusable acres of impenetrable nettles hogweed, Japanese knotweed and brambles. The cultists are too daft to realise this plays straight into the hands of the billionaires making lab food to replace the healthy natural stuff farmers used to grow. Everywhere you look in the world of global warming you’ll find greed, deceit, lies and hypocrisy. The BBC promotes global warming and will accept no discussion. Carbon credits and emission allowances are a scam – part of the digital passport future they’ve got planned for us. Land owning billionaires get richer with them, the rest of us get poorer and the environment benefits not one jot. And then there is the hypocrisy. You have never seen such hypocrisy as pervades the world of the global warming cultists. California, home of the all-American woke, is building five new gas fired power stations.US wants OPEC to keep oil prices low so that motorists can keep motoring. China is building 43 new coal fired power stations despite the fact that the price of coal is soaring because no one dares dig it up. Greenpeace campaigns to have the world’s oil left in the ground. But a Greenpeace senior executive commuted by plane for two years – flying regularly from Luxembourg to Amsterdam. Greenpeace argued it was acceptable for the employee to fly so much so that `he could balance his job with the needs of his family’. When Greta Thunberg went to America (to campaign against the use of oil, among other things) she travelled on a £4 million boat equipped with two diesel engines for emergencies and a diesel fuel tank carrying 672 litres of diesel. When she was ready to return to Europe, members of the crew had to fly out to America to bring her back. She would have used less oil if she had simply climbed aboard a commercial aeroplane and flown across the Atlantic. That’s hypocrisy of which Prince Charles and Harry could be proud. The head of a protest group campaigning for more home insulation admitted that he doesn’t insulate in his own home and has been accused of caring only about causing disruption and trying to become famous. An Extinction Rebellion activist indulged himself in two globe-trotting holidays across Canada and Europe – travelling around 10,000 miles. The tragedy is that nine in ten people still have absolutely no idea what is planned for them. They believed that covid-19 was a real pandemic and there is a risk that they’ll believe that global warming is a real threat. Most don’t realise that the global warming scam is going to lead their children into a world that bears more and more resemblance to Orwell’s 1984 or McGoohan’s The Prisoner than to the world of 2019 – a world we will now never visit again. We have to make sure people know that the global warming cultists are part of the fascist/communist takeover planned to serve up the Great Reset. The nutty fanatics are too stupid to realise it but they’re working for Gates, Schwab, Blair and the Rothschilds. They’re leading us into a world of digital passports, a cashless society, mandatory jabs and social credits. They are leading us into slavery. However hard we fight we will never get the old normal back . The evil ones have all the power, all our money, the guns and the media on their side. The best we can hope for is to delay, to chip away and to make our ghetto as comfortable as we can. We need to concentrate our efforts on drawing attention to the lunacies of the global warming cultists. Some are evil, some are mentally ill and some are merely moronic. All global warming enthusiasts are a danger to you and your family’s health and future and a danger to mankind as a whole. It isn’t global warming that threatens our future – it’s the hysterical morons lying, deceiving and promoting pseudoscientific nonsense who are the real danger.

Will the sun need to “arc out” at some point to release this energetic buildup, and thereby rebalance within it? What is the relationship between these phenomena and the tiny microbe Caenorhabditis Elegans? Tune in with your host, David, and find out! David Wilcock is a professional intuitive consultant who, since reading Richard C. Hoagland’s “The Monuments of Mars” in 1993, has intensively researched ufology, ancient civilizations, consciousness science, and new paradigms of matter and energy. He is the author of a critically acclaimed trilogy of scientific research works, known as the Convergence series, which gives definitive support to the idea that a change in matter, energy and consciousness is now occurring on the Earth and throughout the solar system. Wilcock has appeared on broadcast television, lectured throughout the United States and Japan, published a variety of magazine articles and appeared on numerous radio talk shows. He is the co-author of the book “The Reincarnation of Edgar Cayce,” now available in bookstores nationwide, and a summary of his latest scientific work appears therein, where a breakthrough case for mass, spontaneous DNA evolution on Earth is unveiled.

Arnold Schwarzenegger wants a rebrand on climate change, arguing that reframing the climate crisis towards pollution might make a stronger draw for people to mobilize for the planet. “As long as they keep talking about global climate change, they are not gonna go anywhere, because no one gives a s–t about that,” Schwarzenegger   CBS News. “So my thing is, let’s go and rephrase this and communicate differently about it and really tell people we’re talking about pollution. Pollution creates climate change, and pollution kills.” Except, CO2 is not a pollutant, it’s a trace gas necessary for life on Earth. And, come on, the Cult of Climastrology has already been yammering on about “carbon pollution” for at least a decade. Having recently hosted the Austrian World Summit, a conference that aims to decrease the impact of climate change that the former California governor has hosted for eight years, Schwarzenegger has focused his “crusade” against the climate crisis for this chapter of his life. “I’m on a mission to go and reduce greenhouse gases worldwide, because I’m into having a healthy body and a healthy Earth,” Schwarzenegger said. “That’s what I’m fighting for, and that’s my crusade.” During this year’s Austrian World Summit that took place earlier this month at Vienna’s Hofburg Palace, Schwarzenegger reiterated his call to action to boost sustainability in an effort to tamper down greenhouse gases.

Now we must rise to meet another challenge.” Balbus said part of that work is ensuring the health of “disadvantaged” groups that would be most affected by climate change. “Climate change does not affect all of us the same way. Just as unsanitary urban settings at the turn of the 20th century primarily affected low-income and immigrant communities, climate change likewise often hurts disadvantaged groups most,” he wrote. As one example, he said if global temperatures rise by 2 degrees Celsius, “Black and African American individuals are 34% more likely to live in areas with the highest projected increases in childhood asthma.” Isn’t it kind of racist to think that blacks aren’t able to take care of themselves without the Helpful Hand Of Government? The Office of Climate Change and Health Equity says it exercises the “power of convening, coordination and collaboration” to advance “climate change and health policy” as it pursues “environmental justice and equitable health outcomes.” Among its priorities are identifying communities with “disproportionate exposures to climate hazards and vulnerable populations,” and addressing “health disparities exacerbated by climate impacts to enhance community health resilience.” HHS has also established an Office of Environmental Justice within the Office of Climate Change and Health Equity, which focuses on the “people of color, disadvantaged, vulnerable, low-income, marginalized, and indigenous peoples” who are “disproportionately burdened by environmental hazards.” Word salad and Woke.

Of course, Robinson isn’t the only Warmist who has said they need to preach less gloom and doom. Anyhow, good luck, Tony Sir Tony Robinson, star of Blackadder and veteran presenter of Time Team, has told Sky News he wants the message of climate change to be less about doom and gloom and more hopeful. “I’ve been frustrated for quite some time about the way we talk about climate change,” he said. “It’s like there’s nothing but doom and gloom. “We might as well just suck our thumbs, sit in the corner and wait to die.” Sir Tony, who has made several documentaries about climate change, was speaking to mark the launch of video game Floodland, a survival title set after a climate-induced apocalypse. Too late, Tony, it morphed into a doomsday cult when the Soviet Union fell and all the hardcores decided to join the environmental movement, using ‘climate change’ to push their Communist beliefs. “I think it’s very important that we don’t just teach children that climate change is so awful that they should be paralysed into inactivity. “There is some evidence that some children are starting to think that, but we mustn’t teach them that. Also way too late, as witnessed in poll after poll, study after study showing that the children are mental messes. It is increasingly obvious to even the most skeptical of the anti-global warming critics that our planet is undergoing a significant climate change caused by the increase in atmospheric temperature. The current deniers are right up there with the Flat Earth Society. If the recent past is any indication, an atmospheric temperature increase of another two degrees will be catastrophic. “We’re on a highway to climate hell,” said U.N. Secretary- General Antonio Guterres at the recent COP27 climate change summit in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt. Too late, Tony.

Just get it done? As the effects of climate change have become more serious, many people without much political or financial influence have asked themselves what they can do to address the situation. Paloma Rose Garcia, who owns a hair salon in Sydney, Australia, was one such person. What she discovered was that merely talking about global warming with customers could have a positive effect — and that realization has led her to create climate change education and communication workshops for others in her profession. “As I was on my own personal journey with climate and understanding more about climate change and the effects that it’s having all around us, it just became a conversation that came up with guests,” Garcia told  What On Earth  host Laura Lynch. You know one thing I really loathe? This whole “journey” thing. People keep using it, it shows up in commercials, and it’s just very, very silly. Perhaps it’s just me “It can start off as something very small. It’s as simple as, ‘Oh my god, isn’t this weather just crazy? It’s really sad to see the effects of climate change.’ It’s a simple little comment or remark like that that can turn into a bigger conversation,” Garcia said. My response would be “so, what kind of car do you drive? Oh, it’s a fossil fueled one? Huh.” And that tip would be going way down As a member of Sustainable Salons Australia, she’s making every effort to minimize her salon’s footprint, which includes reducing water consumption and using a power supplier that provides emissions-free electricity. Her positive interactions with customers spurred her to encourage the hairdressers employed in her salon to have similar conversations. Since then, she’s run three climate workshops, with hundreds of hairdressers. Obviously, the reporter failed to delve deep into how much that carbon footprint has come down, what she and the others are actually doing, and if they’ve given up their own use of fossil fuels.

But as climate change heats up an already scorching region, the annual Hajj pilgrimage — much of which takes place outdoors in the desert — could prove even more daunting. The increased number of pilgrims, with the associated surge in international air travel and infrastructure expansion, also raises sustainability concerns, even as the oil giant pursues the goal of getting half its energy from renewable resources by 2030. Next week, Saudi Arabia hosts the first Hajj pilgrimage without the restrictions imposed during the coronavirus pandemic. Some 2.5 million people took part in the pilgrimage in 2019, and  . Under Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s wide-ranging plan to overhaul the kingdom’s economy,  , 30 million pilgrims would take part in the Hajj and Umrah — a smaller, year-round pilgrimage. That would be an increase of more than 10 million from pre-pandemic levels. And this is the business of climate cultists why, exactly? They can mind their own damned business and deal with their own carbon footprints. The Associated Press reached out to several Saudi officials with detailed questions but received no response. It’s unclear what, if any, studies the government has done on the environmental impact of the pilgrimage or whether that figures into its plans. And well-intentioned measures, like a high-speed railway network, aren’t enough to remove polluting traffic in and around the holy city. Most likely because Saudi officials said “mind your own business, chumps!” Seriously, the AP’s Raizat Butt (hey, that’s what the article says) wrote 27 paragraphs on this cult stuff. Muslim activists have launched   aimed at a “green Hajj,” encouraging pilgrims to only make the journey once, to avoid single-use plastics and to offset carbon emissions by planting trees. The Hajj “can be green and sustainable if there are smart policies and technology to lower the ecological footprint,” said Odeh Jayyousi, a professor at the Arabian Gulf University in Bahrain who researches sustainability and innovation.

The study confirms that outcomes tied directly to the escalation of atmospheric carbon dioxide have already emerged in the existing 30-year observational record. These include sea surface warming, acidification and increases in the rate at which the ocean removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. In contrast, processes tied indirectly to the ramp up of atmospheric carbon dioxide through the gradual modification of climate and ocean circulation will take longer, from three decades to more than a century. These include changes in upper-ocean mixing, nutrient supply, and the cycling of carbon through marine plants and animals. “What is new about this study is that it gives a specific timeframe for when ocean changes will occur,” said , the George J. Magee Professor of Geoscience and Geological Engineering, Emeritus. “Some changes will take a long time while others are already detectable.” The ocean provides a climate service to the planet by absorbing excess heat and carbon from the atmosphere, thereby slowing the pace of rising global temperatures, Schlunegger said. This service, however, comes with a penalty — namely ocean acidification and ocean warming, which alter how carbon cycles through the ocean and impacts marine ecosystems. Acidification and ocean warming can harm the microbial marine organisms that serve as the base of the marine food web that feeds fisheries and coral reefs, produces oxygen and contributes to the draw-down of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration. The study aimed to sift out ocean changes linked to human-made climate change from those due to natural variability. Natural fluctuations in the climate can disguise changes in the ocean, so researchers looked at when the changes would be so dramatic that they would stand out above the natural variability. Climate research is often divided into two categories, modeling and observations — those scientists who analyze observations of the real Earth, and those who use models to predict what changes are to come. This study leverages the predictions made by climate models to inform observational efforts of what changes are likely, and where and when to look for them, Schlunegger said. The researchers conducted modeling that simulates potential future climate states that could result from a combination of human-made climate change and random chance. These experiments were performed with the Earth System Model, a climate model that has an interactive carbon cycle, so that changes in the climate and carbon cycle can be considered in tandem. Use of the Earth System Model was facilitated by John Dunne, who leads ocean carbon modeling activities at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)’s in Princeton. Along with Sarah Schlunegger and Jorge Sarmiento, the Princeton team included Richard Slater, senior earth system modeler in AOS, and Keith Rodgers, an AOS research oceanographer now at Pusan National University in South Korea. The team also included Thomas Frölicher, a professor at the University of Bern and a former postdoctoral fellow at Princeton, and Masao Ishii of the Japan Meteorological Agency. The finding of a 30- to 100-year delay in the emergence of effects suggests that ocean observation programs should be maintained for many decades into the future to effectively monitor the changes occurring in the ocean. The study also indicates that the detectability of some changes in the ocean would benefit from improvements to the current observational sampling strategy. These include looking deeper into the ocean for changes in phytoplankton, and capturing changes in both summer and winter, rather than just the annual mean, for the ocean-atmosphere exchange of carbon dioxide. “Our results indicate that many types of observational efforts are critical for our understanding of our changing planet and our ability to detect change,” Schlunegger said. These include time-series or permanent locations of continuous measurement, as well as regional sampling programs and global remote sensing platforms. The project was funded by a NASA Earth Science Division grant (NNX17AI75G) and NOAA grants (NA17RJ2612, NA08OAR4320752 and NA11OAR4310066).

However, a new article in the  Review of General Psychology  argues that the two are deeply intertwined. Its authors contend that   — a branch of psychology that challenges mainstream, individual-focused approaches — could be instrumental in our fight against climate change. In their paper, “ ” Abiodun Omotayo Oladejo, Nick Malherbe, and Ashley van Niekerk, from the University of South Africa, offer an incisive critique of mainstream psychological approaches to climate change, arguing they risk perpetuating the very factors driving the crisis. They assert that mainstream responses to the climate crisis, including those from the psychological professions, have largely failed to acknowledge these capitalist origins. They argue this blind spot contributes to an oversimplified and   understanding of climate change, focusing primarily on individual behavior and ‘responsible consumerism.’ This approach, they argue, inadvertently props up the very system causing the crisis. (snip) The authors begin the paper by exposing the intimate links between capitalism and climate change, underlining capitalism’s role in exacerbating our global climate crisis. While empirical evidence affirms that climate change results from human activity, labeling this period as ‘the Anthropocene’ risks downplaying the real culprit: the capitalist mode of production. The authors stress that not all humans share equal blame; industries driven by capitalist interests disproportionately contribute to carbon emissions. You get the point: Warmists tend to be far left wackos, more similar to Socialists/Communists (in practice. Theory is quite different) who hate capitalism (for Other People), and want the Government in full charge of economies. The exact main point of the Socialist theory in the Democracy Model (political science 101) is that the government is heavily involved in all matters economic, including owning the means of production. Of course, that theory also states low governmental involvement in citizen’s lives, which is why it’s on the left. These Warmists are really way to the Right, into the Authoritarian models.

Once everyone realized the sun isn’t getting hotter, and the world’s ice isn’t melting, Al Gore and his conspiracy theory cohorts changed the name to “ ,” so that every hurricane, tornado, and weather “event” could be blamed on those pesky gas-guzzling, hamburger-chomping humans (taxpayers the globalists want to rob). #1.

So these climate change extremists who want to force everyone to create a “zero carbon footprint” by whatever year they proclaim, well they are members of the climate cult who are demanding we render the earth uninhabitable.

A close examination of nearly 2,000 of the world’s largest lakes found they are losing about 5.7 trillion gallons (21.5 trillion liters) a year. That means from 1992 to 2020, the world lost the equivalent of 17 Lake Meads, America’s largest reservoir, in Nevada. It’s also roughly equal to how much water the United States used in an entire year in 2015. Even lakes in areas getting more rainfall are shriveling.

When it ended, the Atlantic rose, water was released from glaciers, and the Med became what it is today. The land use and diversion of water is the primary cause. The article uses as their primary example the loss of water from the Aral Sea. Well, even Warmist said the primary cause was water diversion. But, the great thing about propaganda is that a story like the above is being broadcast and repeated throughout the media, with no pushback, no journalistic skepticism, so, who’s going to look for the truth?

They’re hosting a walkout to demand climate action. Students say they will walk out of class on Friday around 10:30. The group will march from the quad on campus to the downtown plaza. The rally will have speakers, art, and performers. “We need to really take action, right now so having space where community members can unite especially those impacted by the climate crisis coming together to create calls of action,” said student, Temaia Wiki. Taking a stand, huh? That photo comes from the article. Will the same students forgo their own riding in buses and fossil fueled vehicles to school? What are they doing in their own lives to reduce their own carbon footprint? Of course, it’s very easy for 1st World youts to yammer about Doing Something while living their modern lifestyles. It’s the kids in 3rd world countries who will be digging in the mines to produce metals for EVs, solar panels, and more. But, hey, the school should treat the kids to their beliefs. Keep the AC at 80, heat at 60. No more fossil fueled buses. Let them walk or bike. Serve insects for lunch, or at least a straight vegan diet. Turn the WiFi down, so they cannot connect and stream videos. That’s a start. Meanwhile The world is not acting fast enough on global warming, according to a top official at the United Nations. “If we don’t solve the climate crisis, we’ll have a massive destabilizing impact across this entire planet,” Selwin Hart, the special adviser to the secretary-general on climate action and just transition, said. Under the leadership of Secretary-General António Guterres, the United Nations has placed climate change at the top of the international agenda, warning of the dangers of global temperatures rising above 1.5 degrees Celsius, or 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit. “Current policies to reduce carbon pollution place us on a 3 degree, 3.2-degree Celsius pathway.

Experts told NBC News that just three decades ago, kidney stones were largely a disease that affected middle-aged White men, but they now increasingly affect children and teens, especially in the summer. The number of annual kidney stone cases increased by 16% from 1997 to 2012, according to a Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, with 15- to 19-year-olds seeing the greatest increase in cases. Kidney stone incidents were 52% higher among females within this age bracket while males become more susceptible to the disease at age 25, according to NBC News. (snip) Doctors have not determined exactly what is driving this increase among youths but speculated that climate change, a diet of ultraprocessed foods and the increased use of antibiotics among children are causing dehydration, according to NBC News. “Speculating”. In other words, it’s all the crap foods, increased antibiotics, and, really, all those horrible energy drinks which can cause dehydration, but, they have to throw in ‘climate change’ in order to get that sweet, sweet, government funding. “While it is unlikely that climate change has been a significant contributor to the increase in kidney stones among children and adults over the last 20 years, it is likely that climate change will increase the number of people affected by stones in the future,” Tasian said.

To a person, the GOP opposed the nation’s strongest-ever climate action last summer, when  , over 10 years, in strategic investment to strengthen the economy and speed the growth of clean energy. Wasn’t that bill about inflation reduction? And it didn’t do that? No matter who holds the gavel in the 118 th  Congress, the climate crisis will not go away. Nor will the opportunity to confront it in ways that create jobs, cut costs for our families, and make our communities, rural and urban, more equitable and resilient. Congress has an important role to play, as does the executive branch, in making sure critical clean energy incentives shrink the nation’s carbon footprint and deliver on  of people in red states and blue. Why? I don’t see this duty in the Constitution. Tell you what, Christy: let’s agree on green lighting and fast tracking lots of next-gen nuclear power plants. NRDC isn’t opposed in principle, but, in , they sure find a lot of reasons to complain about them. Anyhow, blah blah blah to Congress also has a responsibility to expand opportunity and equity across rural America, by imbedding those goals in this year’s $400 billion farm bill. That means making the national crop insurance, agricultural research, and related support programs work better for farmers that plant cover crops and take other measures to make their fields more resilient in the face of worsening storms, floods, heat waves, and drought. And it entails efforts to improve soils, help farmers transition to organic practices, and assist rural electric co-ops in replacing coal-fired power with renewable energy from the wind and sun. Congress will play a key role, as always, in funding major transportation initiatives, bolstered by the bipartisan  , which includes money to build half a million   coast to coast, restore urban communities fragmented by misguided highway siting, and help strengthen public transit.

As the planet heats up due to global warming over much of the past century, so have spaces underneath the Loop. That’s a cause for concern around the impact on buildings, new research from Northwestern University finds — though it also presents an opportunity to reuse that heat. Building basements, the subway system, parking garages and other below-ground areas generate a lot of heat. That combined with warmer air on the surface has made for a significantly hotter underground, something old cities across the world experience. So Alessandro Rotta Loria, an assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering, decided to find out how hot it gets under Chicago’s Loop, how that affects the soil and what that means in terms of potential damage to building foundations. After setting up more than 150 temperature sensors in underground downtown spaces, he found wide variations. “The undisturbed ground temperature in the Chicago area is about 52 degrees Fahrenheit,” Rotta Loria said in an interview. “In the heart of the Loop, we measured a ground temperature exceeding 70 degrees. In some underground structures, we measured more than 97 degrees.” He called those hottest areas “significant drivers” of “underground climate change.” That excessive heat causes layers of soil to expand or contract and the ground to swell. Building foundations slowly sink as a result. So, see, it mostly has to do with the heat from the buildings and subways and stuff. You know how most of the infrastructure for moving water, sewage, steam, natural gas, electricity, and so forth is underground? And how all that asphalt, paving, and buildings soak up the heat from the Sun? But, this is still your fault. I suggest that the big, Democratic Party run cities do away with fossil fueled vehicles and electricity. Tear up the roads to just be dirt. And more. All to stop the fever.

The electromagnetic force is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times stronger than the gravitational force. Yet much of western science pretends that it does not exist. This is now having terminal consequences for life on Earth. The consequences for life are being blamed on microorganisms. The consequences for the environment are being blamed on climate change. This Conference is rightly concerned with halting the burning of fossil fuels. Unless that is stopped, the Earth will become uninhabitable. But even if it is stopped, the Earth will not survive unless global electrosmog is also stopped—electrosmog from the wireless cloud and from satellites. And electrosmog is even more of an emergency than climate change. We have only years to stop it, not decades. In addition, many of the strategies for reducing our dependence on fossil fuels—solar power, wind power, the smart grid, electric vehicles, smart highways, smart cities, and so forth—are only making matters much worse. The methods used to gather information about altered animal habitats—GPS, radio tracking devices, etc.—are killing wildlife instead of saving them. The following are a few of the facts that the United Nations must immediately recognize and take control of in order for our children to live to grow up: On behalf of my organization, the millions of people who support my work, and on behalf of humanity, all of life, and the Earth, I ask the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change to recognize electrosmog as the emergency that it is, and a huge contributor to aspects of the degradation of life that have heretofore been blamed only on climate change. I further ask the United Nations to open an official discussion on this emergency threat to all nations and I propose the drawing up of a new treaty and the establishment of a Convention on Electrosmog. I, and the thousands of global experts with whom I communicate, are available to assist in this effort in any way that is required. _____________ Kathleen also gave a copy of the above letter to Amy Goodman, who is the host of Democracy Now!, a news program that she founded 26 years ago and that airs on over 1,400 public radio and television stations worldwide. Her broadcasts from the COP 27 have been amazing. On Tuesday I heard her interview Vanessa Nakate, a climate justice activist from Uganda, and what Vanessa had to say about the climate emergency applies with equal force to EMFs. Tuesday was Vanessa’s 26th birthday, or “bearthday,” as she spelled it for Amy. Vanessa reported that the Horn of Africa is experiencing severe drought, while large parts of Nigeria and Pakistan are underwater from record floods. The world must stop talking about “adaptation,” she said, because adaptation is already impossible. “You cannot adapt to extinction,” she said. A just transition to renewable energy is essential, she said, as is the total cessation of investments in fossil fuels. She is appalled that the Conference on Climate Change is being openly used as a marketing venue for the fossil fuel industry: more than 600 representatives of the fossil fuel industry are marketing their products in the pavilions at the COP! Her sentiments are equally applicable to EMFs. With radiation already so pervasive that the majority of people in some nations have diabetes or prediabetes, and 98% to 99% of insects have disappeared even in rainforests, “adaptation” is impossible. “Adaptation” in this case meaning “safe use” of wireless technology. The burning of fossil fuels must cease, and the use of cell phones must also cease. Those are the two things that must happen if we are to have a planet to live on in the near future. Yesterday (Wednesday), Amy interviewed Harjeet Singh, an activist from New Delhi, India who is with the Climate Action Network. Like Vanessa, he is outraged that not only has there been no progress on climate change in 30 years, but there is not even any mention of fossil fuels in the Paris Agreement that was adopted in 2015. And (as of yesterday) there was no mention of fossil fuels in the draft report of the COP 27 either. He, too, is scandalized by the 600 fossil fuel lobbyists that have turned the COP 27 into an Expo for their products. He is urging the nations of the world to develop a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty, which Tuvalu and Vanuato are calling for. They are two island nations whose very existence is threatened by rising sea levels. The parallels to EMF activism are striking. Just as 600 fossil fuel lobbyists are hawking their products at a conference on climate change, so most people that attend EMF conferences and protests of 5G have cell phones in their hands. Just as there has been no progress on climate change for 30 years, so there has been no progress on radiation for 30 years. “A fight for climate justice is a fight for human rights,” said Vanessa Nakate. Likewise, a fight for a radiation-free world is a fight for human rights. It is time to stop nations from being flooded and submerged, and it is time to stop millions of people from being tortured and made homeless, and children worldwide from growing up with brain damage. It is time to stop burning fossil fuels, and it is time to stop using cell phones. My letter, as submitted by me to the COP on my organization’s stationery, with my credentials, is here: I ask everyone to please write to Amy Goodman requesting her to begin talking about radiation from wireless technology on Democracy Now! She is popular, respected, and reaches millions of people. Please do not question climate change when you write to her.

But, there’s apparently a third way The conventional debate around the root causes and solutions to the worsening climate crisis follows a classic left-right divide. On one hand, the left-leaning camp holds that capitalism and its unregulated rise over the decades are fully responsible for the unchecked greed that got us here and that in order to save our planet, capitalism must be completely undone and replaced. On the other hand, the right-leaning camp believes that market forces alone can create the right incentives and mobilise the necessary resources to achieve rapid and deep cuts to global carbon emissions. Further along the spectrum still, a more radically conservative approach believes that we can continue business as usual and that the market will correct course as it has done in the past. Both camps suffer from a multitude of shortcomings, including short-termism and selfish dogmatism. If we were to adopt the socialist course of action to dissolve capitalism and rebuild a new economic system from scratch focused on the climate, there wouldn’t be any time left to actually put in place measures to drastically curtail global warming. Similarly, business leaders need to recognise that government and corporations can and must work together to create the necessary incentives and markets to protect our planet from climate disaster, and acknowledge that a business-as-usual scenario risks taking us over the edge of the cliff. The stark reality is that global warming doesn’t abide by traditional political lines and any combination of mitigating factors will not fall neatly into any ideological bucket. Government and business working together? Is that the 3rd way? Although the worst effects of climate change will manifest themselves on civil society in the form of catastrophic habitat destruction and mass migration, the root cause of the crisis is a practical one and not ideological. We simply have to take urgent action to radically cut our carbon emissions and transition completely to a low carbon economy built on renewable sources of energy and production. This essay, therefore, calls for a more pragmatic ‘third way’ to how we tackle the climate crisis, one that rejects traditional left-right ideologies. Akin to the   that became popular in the late 1990s amongst world leaders such as Tony Blair and Bill Clinton that attempted to reconcile centre-left social policy with centre-right economic policy, today’s climate woes call for a centrist pragmatism that combines the best use cases of government intervention and the innovative might of market forces. So, basically, massive government intervention in the market? What’s that called per Political Theory 101? Socialism. But, if you add in forcing citizens to act a certain way, we’re now over in the Authoritarian Model. Also known as Progressivism. Nice Fascism. Even as we shift to more renewable sources of energy, new technologies might not be enough to compete with the dominance of fossil fuels. State intervention will play a crucial role in subsidising nascent new environmentally sustainable technologies that will be economically unviable at first, but at scale will make the difference in removing tens of billions of tons of emissions from the atmosphere this century. Similarly, governments around the world have been attempting to impose  , a price that emitters will have to pay for every ton of carbon equivalent they release into the atmosphere, forcing businesses and consumers to switch to new technologies that are less carbon-intensive. These kinds of policies will be instrumental in driving large scale shifts to less carbon-intensive activities and can only be implemented by a large and effective public sector. This third way sure looks like the Warmist’s first way. Surprise. Just repackaging the same old same old. The post appeared first on .

A stubborn ridge of high pressure has settled over Mexico and a broad swath of the southern US over the past three weeks, pushing the heat index, a combination of temperature and humidity, to above 48C (120F) in some places. The heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and oceans by the burning of fossil fuels made the extreme heatwave at least five times more likely,  , a climate science non-profit. The punishing heat, which is forecast to linger further throughout the week in Texas, is creating “stressful conditions for millions of people”, according to Andrew Pershing, vice-president for science at Climate Central. Speaking to the Guardian on Monday, Andrew Dessler, a climate scientist at Texas A&M University said the university’s campus at College Station has had a string of days above 37C (100F), when it usually doesn’t hit such peaks until August. “It’s depressing to think we’re not even in July and we are getting this sort of heat,” he said. “When it’s this hot you are a prisoner in your own house, you are a prisoner to air conditioning.” Well, obviously, prior to fossil fueled vehicles and CO2 going above 350ppm the weather was utterly and entirely stable, and things never changed.

The result is a  dimmed  sun that no longer functions as designed to sustain life on earth. (Related: It   in 2018 that climate fanatics were pushing a “global dimming” agenda to block out the sun and “save the planet.”) Much like how natural volcanic eruptions flood the skies with pollutants that darken daylight for days or even weeks at a time, chemtrail blasts like the ones occurring at Make Sunsets mimic these sun-blocking effects to fight “global warming.” Numerous test launches have already taken place at sites across Mexico with no public input or scientific debate. The goal, according to the company’s head, is to eventually commercialize the technology for widespread use. “We joke slash not joke that this is partly a company and partly a cult,” said Luke Iseman, the co-founder, and CEO of Make Sunsets. “It’s morally wrong, in my opinion, for us not to be doing this … (and we need) to do this as quickly and safely as we can.” Before Make Sunsets was incorporated in October, the company performed two balloon launches, the outcomes of which are unknown. Neither of those launches had any approval from government authorities or scientific agencies, and were done to boost Iseman’s own ego. “This was firmly in science project territory,” he said. “Basically, it was to confirm that I could do it.” In essence, it was a do-it-yourself geoengineering scheme that Iseman hopes to develop into a full-fledged terraforming operation that uses reusable balloons to dump loads of sulfur into the skies on a regular basis. There is also talk of developing a revenue generation program through “cooling credits,” which will sell for $10 a pop and cover the release of one gram of particles into the stratosphere. The claim is that these one-gram releases offset the warming effect of one ton of carbon for a full year. “What I want to do is create as much cooling as quickly as I responsibly can, over the rest of my life, frankly,” Iseman added, noting that in 2023, the plan is to deploy as much sulfur as “we can get customers to pay us” for – meaning it is all about the money. There is no actual science behind cooling credits, though. So little is known about what sulfur particles actually do to the environment that claiming they offset carbon based on per-gram outcomes is deceptive at best. “From a business perspective, reflective cooling effects and risks cannot currently be quantified in any meaningful way, making the offering a speculative form of ‘junk credit’ that is unlikely to have value to climate credit markets,” said Kelly Wanser, executive director of SilverLining, a nonprofit research group that deals with climate issues. Solar geoengineering expert David Keith is of the belief that small amounts of sulfur at the levels being released by Make Sunsets are trivial and pose no real threat to the environment. He is, however, concerned that efforts to privatize these technologies are misguided because “commercial development cannot produce the level of transparency and trust the world needs to make sensible decisions about deployment.” This article has been contributed by SHTF Plan.

Climate change is known to negatively affect agriculture and livestock, but there has been little scientific knowledge on which regions of the planet would be touched or what the biggest risks may be. New research led by Aalto University assesses just how global food production will be affected if greenhouse gas emissions are left uncut. The study is published in the prestigious journal One Earth on Friday 14 May. ‘Our research shows that rapid, out-of-control growth of greenhouse gas emissions may, by the end of the century, lead to more than a third of current global food production falling into conditions in which no food is produced today – that is, out of safe climatic space,’ explains Matti Kummu, professor of global water and food issues at Aalto University. According to the study, this scenario is likely to occur if carbon dioxide emissions continue growing at current rates. In the study, the researchers define the concept of safe climatic space as those areas where 95% of crop production currently takes place, thanks to a combination of three climate factors, rainfall, temperature and aridity. High emissions scenario: areas within and outside Safe Climatic Space for food production 2081-2100 (see comparison image for legend) Credit: Matti Kummu/Aalto University ‘The good news is that only a fraction of food production would face as-of-yet unseen conditions if we collectively reduce emissions, so that warming would be limited to 1.5 to 2 degrees Celsius,’ says Kummu. Changes in rainfall and aridity as well as the warming climate are especially threatening to food production in South and Southeast Asia as well as the Sahel region of Africa. These are also areas that lack the capacity to adapt to changing conditions. ‘Food production as we know it developed under a fairly stable climate, during a period of slow warming that followed the last ice age. The continuous growth of greenhouse gas emissions may create new conditions, and food crop and livestock production just won’t have enough time to adapt,’ says Doctoral Candidate Matias Heino, the other main author of the publication. Two future scenarios for climate change were used in the study: one in which carbon dioxide emissions are cut radically, limiting global warming to 1.5-2 degrees Celsius, and another in which emissions continue growing unhalted. The researchers assessed how climate change would affect 27 of the most important food crops and seven different livestock, accounting for societies’ varying capacities to adapt to changes. The results show that threats affect countries and continents in different ways; in 52 of the 177 countries studied, the entire food production would remain in the safe climatic space in the future. These include Finland and most other European countries. Already vulnerable countries such as Benin, Cambodia, Ghana, Guinea-Bissau, Guyana and Suriname will be hit hard if no changes are made; up to 95 percent of current food production would fall outside of safe climatic space. Alarmingly, these nations also have significantly less capacity to adapt to changes brought on by climate change when compared to rich Western countries. In all, 20% of the world’s crop production and 18% of livestock production under threat are located in countries with low resilience to adapt to changes. Close-up of global low emissions scenario: areas within and outside Safe Climatic Space for food production 2081-2100 (see comparison image for legend If carbon dioxide emissions are brought under control, the researchers estimate that the world’s largest climatic zone of today – the boreal forest, which stretches across northern North America, Russia and Europe – would shrink from its current 18.0 to 14.8 million square kilometres by 2100. Should we not be able to cut emissions, only roughly 8 million square kilometres of the vast forest would remain. The change would be even more dramatic in North America: in 2000, the zone covered approximately 6.7 million square kilometres – by 2090 it may shrink to one-third. Arctic tundra would be even worse off: it is estimated to disappear completely if climate change is not reined in. At the same time, the tropical dry forest and tropical desert zones are estimated to grow. ‘If we let emissions grow, the increase in desert areas is especially troubling because in these conditions barely anything can grow without irrigation. By the end of this century, we could see more than 4 million square kilometres of new desert around the globe,’ Kummu says. While the study is the first to take a holistic look at the climatic conditions where food is grown today and how climate change will affect these areas in coming decades, its take-home message is by no means unique: the world needs urgent action. ‘We need to mitigate climate change and, at the same time, boost the resilience of our food systems and societies – we cannot leave the vulnerable behind. Food production must be sustainable,’ says Heino.

Speculation about possible future unwanted climate scenarios is a favourite hobby of climate alarmists, but this one at least has been largely discarded. As a co-author put it “we were able to show that many climate model projections of very large stratospheric water vapour changes are now inconsistent with observational evidence.” – – – New research led by the University of East Anglia (UEA) reduces uncertainty in future climate change linked to the stratosphere, with important implications for life on Earth, . Man-made climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing us today [Talkshop comment – unsupported assertion] , but uncertainty in the exact magnitude of global change hampers effective policy responses. A significant source of uncertainty relates to future changes to water vapour in the stratosphere, an extremely dry region of the atmosphere 15-50 km above the Earth’s surface. Future increases in water vapour here risk amplifying climate change and slowing down the recovery of the ozone layer, which protects life on Earth from harmful solar ultraviolet radiation. Now an international team led by Peer Nowack, until recently a member of the Climatic Research Unit at UEA, has developed a new statistical learning approach that combines information from satellite observations with state-of-the-art climate model data to narrow the range of likely future stratospheric water vapour amounts. One of the key results, published today in the journal Nature Geoscience, effectively rules out the most extreme scenarios, which imply that water vapour concentrations could increase by more than 25% per degree of global warming. The new approach represents a 50% reduction in the 95th percentile of climate model responses. “Man-made climate change affects Earth’s atmosphere in many important and often surprising ways,” said Prof Nowack, now at the Institute of Theoretical Informatics at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany. “In our paper, we look at changes in stratospheric water vapour under global warming, an effect that is still poorly understood. Since water vapour is central to the physics and chemistry of the stratosphere, I felt that we crucially need a new approach to address this longstanding uncertainty factor. “With our new data-driven approach, which exploits machine learning ideas, we were able to make highly effective use of Earth observations to reduce this uncertainty. This required us to develop a framework in which we could combine scientific understanding and mathematical relationships learned from satellite data in innovative ways.” “With this approach, we were able to show that many climate model projections of very large stratospheric water vapour changes are now inconsistent with observational evidence,” said co-author Dr Sean Davis, a Research Scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in the US, specializing in satellite measurements of stratospheric water vapour.

Skeptical Of Climate Change | Opinion - Conservative | Before It's News html PUBLIC ""-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"" ""http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd"" The Obama administration is ordering that states believe in climate change. According to a report in the Philadelphia Enquirer beginning next year the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will not approve approve disaster-preparedness funds for states whose hazard-mitigation plans address climate change. This may put several governors who maintain that the Earth isn’t warming due to human activities, or prefer to take no action, in a political bind. Their position may block their states’ access to hundreds of millions of dollars in FEMA funds. In the last five years, the agency has awarded an average $1 billion a year in grants to states and territories for taking steps to mitigate the effects of disasters. “If a state has a climate denier governor that doesn’t want to accept a plan, that would risk mitigation work not getting done because of politics,” said Becky Hammer, an attorney with the Natural Resources Defense Council’s water program. “The governor would be increasing the risk to citizens in that state” because of his climate beliefs. Or to put it the correct way, a governor’s first Amendment rights, and those of the state legislatures and voters are trumped by the Administration’s believe in the man-made climate change hypothesis. The policy doesn’t affect federal money for relief after a hurricane, flood, or other disaster. Specifically, beginning in March 2016, states seeking preparedness money will have to assess how climate change threatens their communities. Governors will have to sign off on hazard-mitigation plans. While some states, including New York, have already started incorporating climate risks in their plans, most haven’t because FEMA’s 2008 guidelines didn’t require it. “This could potentially become a major conflict for several Republican governors,” said Barry Rabe, an expert on the politics of climate change at the University of Michigan. “We aren’t just talking about coastal states.” Climate change affects droughts, rainfall, and tornado activity. Fracking is being linked to more earthquakes, he said. “This could affect state leaders across the country.” Among those who could face a difficult decision are New Jersey’s Gov. Christie and fellow Republican Govs. Rick Scott of Florida, Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, Greg Abbott of Texas, and Pat McCrory of North Carolina – all of whom have denied man-made climate change or refused to take action. The states they lead face immediate threats from climate change. So any governor who considers all the science instead of the politically expedient and unproven man-made climate change theory is basically screwed.  Because forget climate change, this administration doesn’t believe in the First Amendment.

Now it’s Ireland’s turn, where the government is reportedly looking at plans to cull around 200,000 dairy cows to meet its climate targets. The scheme would be a bit like voluntary redundancy, with farmers offered financial inducements to give up their cows. British beef and dairy farmers are now very jittery.

A Lightweight Solar Sail Could Make it Feasible | Space | Before It's News html PUBLIC ""-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"" ""http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd"" Can we build an enormous umbrella to dim the Sun? Such a feat would be a megaproject on a scale like no other. It would take at least 400 dedicated rocket launches a year, for ten years (There have been 172 rocket launches by all nations so far in 2022). The project would weigh in at 550,000 tons: at its lightest. And it would be an ecological experiment that puts us all – the entire planet – in the petri dish, with high risk and high reward. But could such a project actually reverse climate change and bring us back from the brink of global disaster? The answer seems to be yes, it could work. But there are consequences, and with the planet at stake, it seems wise to examine them before committing to such a thing. First, let’s talk about the engineering that would make it possible. A paper by Olivia Borgue and Andreas Hein, accepted by the journal last week, describes some of the material science needed to make it a reality. The most realistic version is not one sunshade, but hundreds of small ones in a swarm. Mass is the limiting factor for such a project, with launch costs setting the financial constraints. As such, Borgue and Hein propose an ultra-light material, made of thin film and silicon dioxide nanotubes. The shades would have a “transparent refractive surface” to redirect the sunlight. For this to work, you don’t really want to create a solar sail that is pushed out of the way by the Sun’s radiation pressure – you want the shade to be able to maintain its position. So this design seeks to minimize the radiation pressure on the shade, redirecting rather than stopping sunlight. The swarm would be positioned at the L1 Lagrange point between the Earth and the Sun. It would only need to block between 2 and 4 percent of the Sun’s light to bring Earth’s temperatures back to pre-industrial levels. If we wanted, the authors deem that the necessary technology is achievable within 15 years. But do we want to? If it fixes climate change, then maybe, but there are good arguments against mega geoengineering projects like this. Two are particularly compelling. The first is that the risks may be too high, and there are too many unknowns. Simulations do their best to predict outcomes (and researchers have carried out on this very idea), but they aren’t perfect. What’s more, even the known consequences aren’t all positive. While temperatures would be brought back to sustainable levels, it would also cause a global reduction in rainfall of 5%. That means fewer floods (good news for low-lying countries threatened by climate change), but also more drought in arid regions. In other words, geoengineering has winners and losers: who gets to decide who is who? The solar sail model, to its credit, is capable of being dismantled if things go wrong. There are more permanent versions of this idea. A called SCoPEx is testing the notion of releasing particulates of sulfuric acid into the upper atmosphere, lowering global temperatures similar to the way large volcanic eruptions does. These particulates can be harmful to the ozone layer, so the team is searching for less damaging alternatives, like calcium carbonate. It’s clever, but messing with the atmosphere is something you don’t want to get wrong. Mount Tambora, taken from the space shuttle Endeavour, 13 May 1992. In 1815, Mount Tambora erupted, and its plume of ash caused ‘a year without summer’ as global temperatures plummeted. Some proposals for reversing global warming mimic the atmospheric effects of volcanic eruptions. Credit: NASA. The answer to this particular criticism – that solar geoengineering is too risky – is countered by the argument that climate change is worse. And if we continue on the path we are currently taking, that may someday be true. But the second, and perhaps more important criticism of such a mega project, is that it misses the point. Humanity needs to find ways to slow the consumption of resources and reduce emissions, not find ways to enable our addiction. If sunshades work, they become an easy excuse to pump more fossil fuels, while reducing the urgency to build resilient renewable technologies. It’s a crutch, not a cure. It’s likely this isn’t the last we’ll hear of solar geoengineering projects. There are similar in the works. And, as proponents rightly argue, there is value in research like the SCoPEx study and the Borgue/Hein paper. The discovery of novel lightweight materials, more accurate modeling of climate systems, and deeper understandings of atmospheric chemistry: all of these are undeniably a net good. As a last resort, a geoengineering megaproject may even ultimately save us from ourselves. But it also feels a bit like giving up. Climate change is a policy problem as much as a technological one, and in much of the world, policy is the lagging variable. Technology won’t need to save us if policy changes can. The Sun didn’t get us into this mess, we did. Let’s get ourselves out of it. Olivia Borgue and Andreas Hein, “ .” Acta Astronautica . , Harvard University. Evan Gough, “ “ Paul M.

The reporter in Moscow then interrupts him with elevated voice and says: “Excuse me, just a minute! You say this isn’t caused by man, how come they are reporting this heat wave is recognized as the worst in a thousand years in recorded history in Russia?! And for sure, man has something to do with it, hasn’t he?” Corbyn replies calmly, “No.” “Man has nothing to do with it. The only connection is that man is here at the same time as the sun and the moon are doing things.” He then goes on to explain that a very similar situation happened about 132 years ago. He states that those who claim otherwise are simply trying to make money off of the Climate Change narrative. It is an interesting and entertaining four and half minutes to watch. A shorter clip that is just over 2 minutes was posted on Twitter and is making the rounds in the Alternative Media today, where comments are being made such as “We suspect this is the last time Mr.Corbyn will be allowed on TV” suggesting that the reporter was caught off guard, but I found the entire interview ( word missing in text ) and at the end of the interview the reporter states while smiling: “Piers Corbyn, as always, it is very interesting to hear what you have to say. Thanks very much for joining us here on RT TV.” So this was probably scripted and rehearsed ahead of time, but it is a good watch none-the-less.

Why not? They’re science cannot stand on it’s own The Langfords got out of Houston just in time. Only two months after Sara and her husband, Phillip, moved to Norfolk, Virginia, in June 2017, Hurricane Harvey struck, destroying their previous house and rendering Sara’s family homeless. By comparison, Norfolk felt like paradise. In Larchmont, the neighborhood the Langfords fell in love with, young children scratched chalk doodles on the sidewalks, college students and senior citizens ran side by side on nature trails, and crepe myrtle trees popped pink along silent streets. But as the couple toured the area, situated on the banks of a sluggish river that feeds into the Chesapeake Bay, they noticed something alarming about the homes they were seeing. “We were looking at one house close to the water, and [our real-estate agent] started talking about flood insurance,” Sara recalled to me. “I said, ‘Really? In this area?’” The houses were about half a mile from the river, but monthly flood-insurance premiums on the homes were $800 to $1,000—almost as much as their mortgage payment. The horror! Of course, both areas are low-lying, and the land barely rises way far away from the water. It’s called geography. You can imagine each of the homes in Larchmont—and elsewhere along the coast—as a stick of dynamite with a very long fuse. When humans began to warm the Earth, we lit the fuse. Ever since then, a series of people have tossed the dynamite among them, each owner holding the stick for a while before passing the risk on to the next. Each of these owners knows that at some point, the dynamite is going to explode, but they can also see that there’s a lot of fuse left. As the fuse keeps burning, each new owner has a harder time finding someone to take the stick off their hands. Norfolk and many coastal cities like it might be closer to exploding than many of their residents think. The payment term for a standard mortgage loan is 30 years, and the median length of homeownership is 13 years. Meanwhile, the lowest-lying parts of Norfolk are roughly five to 10 feet above sea level, and climate scientists believe that sea levels in the city  .

But it’s all been packaged as a way to save the planet. And anyone who has gone along with this has been fooled at a level that they will probably never grasp,” Adams pointed out. It doesn’t help that Big Tech is censoring information about this matter. “Anyone who questions the climate change official narrative – because they can’t have humanity waking up and realizing that they’re being exterminated – they have to make sure that the cattle being destroyed, that’s the human race, remain oblivious, remain blind to the reality of the great culling that is already underway,” Adams said. (Related:  .) The globalists have been pushing that the answer to climate change is carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration. This will remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and reduce crop yields. Adams said every person pushing the climate change narrative is demanding mass starvation – every one of them whether they realize it or not. Mass starvation will bring down the global population. “You lower CO2 levels so you can’t grow food crops nearly as efficiently. So this is why they want to move off of fossil fuels and this is why they are shutting down the fossil fuel industry,” Adams noted. He also revealed that there’s a giant operation using eminent domain to seize farmland in places like Iowa and Illinois. “They are setting up these massive machines and are being built by us, human beings, to suck carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and hide the CO2 underground in a carbon sequestration format.” The government is shutting down fossil fuel refinery plants and they announced that   and there are going to be rolling blackouts on top of that. Adams said it would not be fair for the people to have to pay more and then have blackouts. But the real reason behind the move, he said, is to stop the CO2 emissions. Because that is what the globalists need to achieve global starvation. Adams, who owns and operates a multimillion dollar lab, explained that lowering CO2 will reduce plant life all across the planet. And when there aren’t as many plants producing oxygen, humans’ oxygen levels will fall. “As oxygen levels fall, human beings and all the animals will slowly asphyxiate and people will be dropping dead from inability to provide enough oxygen to their brains or to their hearts,” he said. The Health Ranger went on to cite more shreds of evidence on the multi-vector attack for mass planetary extermination. He said that “experts” are also altering the blood with an engineered biological weapon that impairs the body’s ability to carry oxygen. “There’s something else about the vaccines that create these crazy insane tissue clots that are appearing in the bodies, especially in the arteries. These clots are blocking the flow of the blood that carries the oxygen to your brain,” he said, referring to the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines. His point is supported by board-certified embalmer Richard Hirschman, who divulged during his podcast interview with Dr. Betty Martini that he has been seeing “unnatural blood clots combinations with strange fibrous materials”   of the deceased. According to the embalmer, this started approximately six months after the vaccine rollout. Most of the victims reportedly died of heart attacks and strokes.

There’s no question that Thunberg’s style of environmentalism—strident, urgent, and critical of global capitalism—has gained a strong foothold in contemporary politics. A 2019 from the journal Bioscience, co-signed by more than 11,000 scientists, asserted that Earth’s population “must be stabilized—and, ideally, gradually reduced.” And some politicians have the morality of having children at all. Fears of overpopulation and ecological disaster are also beginning to manifest on the far right, mixed in with an anti-immigrant animus. This logic was expressed in its most dramatic and twisted form in the 2019 “ ” manifestos of mass shooters in both New Zealand and Texas. Whether contemporary proponents of these ideas know it or not, they are all the intellectual heirs of the misguided 18th-century thinker Robert Thomas Malthus, who believed that when human population increased, famine and environmental destruction would ensue. Reason ‘s science correspondent Ron Bailey, who is the author of the 2015 book The End of Doom: Environmental Renewal in the Twenty-first Century,  says that Malthus failed to see that as human population increased, so too would livestock and crop populations with the help of ever-improving agricultural technology, which is why food availability steadily over the past two centuries, outpacing population growth. “Basically, the Malthusian prescription turns out to be completely wrong,” says Bailey. In the contemporary world, Malthusianism was most famously expressed through the work of ecologist Paul Ehrlich, especially in his 1968 book, The Population Bomb, which that through the 1970s and ’80s “hundreds of millions would starve to death.” Ehrlich, who still holds an endowed professorship at Stanford, didn’t respond to our interview request. But his proposed solutions at the time included diapers, subsidizing vasectomies, and even aid and water supplies with sterilizing drugs and then holding a lottery for access to the antidote. Ehrlich compared humanity to cancer, writing, “We must shift our efforts from treatment of the symptoms to the cutting out of the cancer.” Similarly, ecologist Garrett Hardin in 1968 compared humanity to overbreeding cattle, “The freedom to breed is intolerable.” Ehrlich turned out to be as wrongheaded as Malthus. In the half-century after Ehrlich made his dire prediction, calories available per capita steadily increased in just about of the world thanks largely to improved agricultural techniques and technology. “Humans are not only consumers—we’re also producers,” says Bailey. “We’re able to create new things to use resources in better and better ways over time.” And yet world hunger has yet to be eradicated, with the United Nations that about 10 percent of the global population is undernourished. And perhaps it’s true that past trends don’t predict the future. Karen Pitts, who is a member of the Sierra Club and ran a Northern California sub-committee on population growth, is concerned that the world won’t be able to accommodate a population that’s expected to peak at 11 billion by 2100. She became interested in the topic after a trip to China in 1996. “As you flew over the country, every space was taken up by housing,” says Pitts. “Whether or not they produce enough food is a big question and we really can’t take the risk of being wrong.” Is it really possible that the world could run out of food? While the International Food Policy Research Institute that farmers will have to produce 70 percent more food over the next 30 years to feed everyone on the planet, the technology already exists to accomplish that goal. Agronomist Paul Waggoner that if all farmers became as efficient as today’s U.S. corn growers, the world could feed 10 billion people today on half as much land. As humanity moving into cities, the efficiency of food production will also grow and new opportunities for ecological protection will emerge because this allows for the restoration of forests and other ecosystems on the land that migrants leave behind, Bailey points out. Today’s Malthusians are most concerned about the disruptive effects of climate change. Citing global warming and habitat destruction, documentarian David Attenborough humanity as a “plague upon the Earth.” Meanwhile, the Bioscience paper signed by 11,000 scientists projects total societal collapse if population isn’t managed properly. “I think that there’s a kind of a catastrophizing, apocalyptic undercurrent,” says Ted Nordhaus, founder of , which advocates technological solutions to environmental problems. He believes the environmental movement has long been hindered by its anti-growth paradigm. “Conventional environmental ideology posits human development and environmental protection, oppositionally, and I have exactly the opposite view,” he says. Nordhaus says that the most effective way to deal with climate change is by promoting policies that accelerate economic growth. Most of today’s environmentalists don’t openly advocate for the draconian population-control measures pushed by Ehrlich and other Malthusians in the 1970s. Karen Pitts says she just wants more sex education and greater access to birth control in the developing world, pointing to a project she participated in with Tanzania’s local population where the introduction of contraception drastically reduced unwanted pregnancies. “And it was very easy to do, surprisingly easy,” she says. “Those women wanted family planning.” Funding greater access to birth control and education for women in developing countries was also a recommendation of the Bioscience paper. It’s also a policy agenda of and many leading NGOs like the Bill and Melina Gates Foundation. Nordhaus says such measures can help at the margins but ultimately miss the big picture, which is that as wealth increases, fertility rates naturally as families invest more resources in fewer children. “The real drivers of longterm fertility decline and population stabilization around the world are just kind of garden variety economic development, which a lot of the same people signing those documents are actually saying is the problem not the solution,” says Nordhaus. The Biosciences paper argues that economic growth is driving overconsumption of resources and says “our goals need to shift from GDP growth and the pursuit of affluence toward sustaining ecosystems.” “I don’t think we’re keeping up with population growth and increased consumption,” says Pitts. “As soon as we find new ways to do it, our consumption increases. That’s the problem. Pitts is right that people in wealthier societies tend to consume resources and generate greenhouse gas at rates that are orders of magnitude higher than those in the third world. But Nordhaus points out that when poor societies become wealthy there are more people positioned to help solve environmental problems in the only way that really works—with new technology. “Wealthier, more developed societies are both better positioned to adapt to issues, to problems like climate change and climate impacts,” says Nordhaus. “They are also better positioned to develop and deploy new technology.” And so Nordhaus advocates for greater reliance on clean, abundant energy like to fuel advanced economies towards possibly innovating even lower impact alternatives.  But the third-world may still need to rely on traditional fossil fuels on its path to prosperity and population stabilization. “When you get down to the bottom of it, it is just ultimately a question of how rapidly Africa develops economically,” says Nordhaus. Malthus wasn’t completely wrong about the tendency of humans to deplete resources, says Bailey. But Malthus failed to see that new ways of organizing society would ameliorate the problem. “The world understood the role of property rights, the rule of law,” says Bailey. “And this dramatically changed the incentive structures that people had prior to that.” Bailey says environmentalists such as Naomi Klein, who that capitalism and the health of the planet are at war, have the formula backwards. “[Klein] wants to replace it with some sort of communitarian socialism. I would suggest to you that doing that would exactly bring back the Malthusian conditions that we used to live in,” says Bailey. Produced by Zach Weissmueller.

Russian FSB sources say The second phase will be worse, they warn. The recent attempt by the Wagner militia to take over Russia actually originated with an Artificial Intelligence located in Silicon Valley, both the P3 and the Russians say. The P3 say it may be necessary to destroy Silicon Valley to end the ongoing madness. The Russians say the key is to arrest the leadership of the Chabad death cult. This is the Russian FSB analysis of the Wagner move against Russia: It was a psy-war using an AI generated voice and story. First, they took all media data and fed it to a system like Chat GPT. They also used behavioral experts to create a psy-profile of Wagner head Yevgeny Prigozhin. Also, a psy-operation was done on Prigozgin, he seems to have been fed with heavy narcotics to alter his brain and behavior. Nobody has seen him for the past two days. The accounts of Wagner were hacked, then it blocked all content. All voice messages from there were recorded once at 19.45 on June 24th as an mp3 file and then released over time as a kind of scenario.   The Ukrainians were saying they had some sort of surprise in store. Everybody thought it was about blowing up a dam or pipelines or an atomic power plant and blaming it on the Russians. Instead, they came up with an AI deep fake story in an attempt to destabilize the Russian army. Please tell the people this was a fake and secret operation using AI-generated voice and scenario. CIA sources agree with the Russian analysis and say “It is all a psy-ops.” Basically, the CIA tried to pay off the Wagner Group $6.2 billion to turn against Russia. That is what is behind this headline: “$6.2 Billion accounting error discovered by the Pentagon last week.”   Russia and Wagner ended up shaking hands and pocketing the money. The FSB reminded us of a Russian saying “Promising to marry someone is not the same as marrying them.” The FSB say that unlike the fake Wagner in the Western media propaganda campaign “The real Wagner is going to turn towards Fascistngton and not Moscow.”   However, the Wagner opera is not over yet and part II has begun unfolding even as this report was about to go live. The story of Prigozhin going to Belarus is meant to carry out a plotline involving him taking over Belarus, invading Poland and starting a nuclear war with NATO, the FSB sources say. There is a lot of Western propaganda news indicating this scenario is underway. First Belarusian “opposition leader,” Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya told the military and civilians in Belarus to “wait for a signal”. This signal has now come as Ukrainian border guards used loudspeakers to call for the overthrow of “their dictator.” Now the Ukrainian propaganda site Pravda reports a plane used by top Belarusian officials and members of Alexander Lukashenko’s family landed in Türkiye. Mossad sources warn this is part of an attempt by the KM to start a nuclear war with NATO. However, Russian FSB sources say the nuclear weapons in Belarus are under Russian control and will not be used. In other words, do not be fooled by any new AI-generated nuclear war story “coming out of Belarus.” The Russians are actually more worried about some sort of “climate event.” They note an organization called the Global Military Advisory Council on Climate Change (GMACCC) is calling for a massive NATO and EU project to fight “Climate Emergencies.” In Canada, for example, the Ministry of Climate Change is building a facility with interrogation rooms, armories, biological laboratories etc. “to fight climate change.” Apparently, the recently set forest fires in Canada are just the initial phase of this new attempt by NATO to grab large amounts of money. named Vanessa Kerry, daughter of former US Secretary of State John Kerry and the US President’s Special Envoy for Climate, as “Director General for Climate Change and Health. Meanwhile, the German Ethics Council is calling for “One Health” to combat the global “Climate Crisis.” The GEC says “Only collectives can be ‘healthy’ not individuals.” In Poland, the slave government there voted on “fundamental changes to the geological and mining law, which threatens the health and life of people and animals, takes away our basic rights and property, and leads our country to a complete collapse.” Polish intelligence warns. All this comes as the  “rewritten” “new Bible.” Yuval Noah Harari, who serves as Klaus Schwab’s right-hand man at the WEF, argues that the Bible is  “fake news”  and full of hate speech, and the elites can use AI to replace the Bible and create a unified  “religion that is actually correct.”  According to the WEF, God, Jesus and Christianity is  “fake news”  that must be dismissed by humanity. Meanwhile, Italian fascist leader Giorgia Meloni, who came into power on an anti-immigration pledge, has allowed more than 100,000 illegal immigrants to land in the past 9 months, all of them military-aged men.   No wonder the Russian government is unilaterally withdrawing from a series of international bodies, including the World Trade Organization and the World Health Organization, the Russian Duma’s Deputy Speaker Pyotr Tolstoy said on Tuesday. The Russians also point to a huge series of unnatural earthquakes from around the world in the past month and think this may be a prelude to some sort of massive, possibly volcanic, “climate event.” The KM are desperately trying to trigger something dramatic enough to get them a big payday because they are running out of money. The US money supply has now fallen by $2.6 trillion (or 12.0 percent) since the peak in April 2022. Two-thirds of the money created by US since its’ founding in 1776 was created after Asians foolishly allowed them to do so in 2009 with the promise of a communist black president. This Asian money was cut off in January 2020, triggering a massive $7.4 trillion KM money laundering operation disguised as a pandemic. This was cut off in April of 2022 as the chart below illustrates. The entire fake Biden presidency is now running on vapor as well as money earned by selling off Ukrainian organs, slaves and drugs along with obsolete weapons. That’s why Rockefeller slave Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Polish Foreign Minister Zbigniew Rau and German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock gathered last week to ask for $750 billion “for the reconstruction of Ukraine” Blinken was sent to China where he said whatever he thought the Chinese wanted to hear including: “Taiwan belongs to China, the US does not want a new Cold War or to change China’s system” etc. to try to con them out of more money.     This was a quick turn-around from Biden comparing Taiwan to Ukraine recently. Take a look at the body language of Blinken next to Xi Look to confirm he is an errand boy. (See attached photo) The Chinese were not fooled: “Beijing will not buy its double-dealing ploy of seeking cooperation and communication while containing China in the name of ‘competition.’” This prompted the fake Biden to insult China as soon as Blinken returned empty-handed by saying: “The reason why Xi Jinping got very upset in terms of when I shot that balloon down with two box cars full of spy equipment is he didn’t know it was there…I’m serious. That was a great embarrassment for dictators when they didn’t know what happened…” The KM propaganda press then started putting out stories about how “China has real economic difficulties”. The truth is the opposite. Raytheon Chief Executive Greg Hayes admitted   thanks to its reliance on rare earths and other materials which come from or are processed in China. With the move to suck up to China ending in failure, the KM next tried to butter up Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Here is what Modi had to say to US politicians: When I first visited the US as a PM, India was the 10th largest economy in the world. Today, India is the 5th largest economy. India will be the 3rd largest economy soon. We became the only G20 country to meet its Paris commitment. We made renewables account for over 40% of our energy sources 9 years ahead of the target of 2030. Modi was offered all sorts of goodies when he visited the fake Biden but, he refused to promise not to share them with Russia and China. “We live by the motto of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’-the world is one family,” Modi explained. So, the attempt to induce him to join the KM failed. The result was propaganda stories attacking him in places like Reuters. Even worse for the fake Biden presidency than not getting money from China or India, they are about to lose their biggest existing cash cow: Japan. Last week Japan’s Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako visited a cemetery dedicated to people, including Japanese military, who fought for Indonesia’s independence against the Dutch after the end of World War II. Japanese right-wingers close to the emperor say the Japanese establishment used this visit to show their intent to break with the KM. This visit comes immediately after the Dutch royals tried to extort resources from Indonesia by threatening it with earthquake weapons before being forced to back down by the BRICS alliance, CIA sources say. The Europeans themselves are now getting ready to dump the fake Biden administration and its’ KM puppet masters. As Geographer Manlio Dinucci notes “The recession that is rearing its head in the European Union was caused by high energy prices resulting from the [Rockefeller-ordered] sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines.” Rockefeller slave Antony Blinken called the Nord Stream blockade “a tremendous opportunity” that has made the United States the leading supplier of liquefied natural gas to Europe. As a result, Exxon, Chevron and other Rockefeller companies “have made record profits” by impoverishing the Europeans. Polish intelligence for their part note the country was able to increase GDP by 2.5 times between 1971 and 1976 by investing $3 trillion to build 557 new enterprises. This was the sort of thing that was possible before the KM impoverished the Polish people by putting them under a regime of debt slavery. That is why Poland is turning against the KM. France for its part has already asked to join the BRICS alliance. The rest of Europe is soon to follow, P3 Freemason sources say. Inside the US itself: The “Joe Biden” presidency is whirling around the drain in plain sight, and with it, likely, the Globalist hopes and dreams of making everybody eat bugs while they take away everything you own. For example, in a move that alienated many “President Biden”  missed a key deadline set by a bipartisan law he signed that called for the declassification and release of intelligence on the Wuhan lab and its possible links to the origins of COVID-19. Even the corporate propaganda media is turning against the fake Biden show now as these videos show. In the first one Biden walks about after being asked if his son was getting special treatment.     In the next, the White House National Security Council Coordinator WALKS OUT after being asked about Hunter Biden’s WhatsApp messages with China implicating President Biden.   This sort of performance has led to former establishment supporters like Lawyer and Legal Analyst Margot Cleveland to say: “In the wake of the Hunter Biden sweetheart plea deal, calling D.C. a swamp is an insult to swamps…”   The mainstream is also now waking up to the true controllers of the Biden swamp. James O’Keefe’s new undercover media venture got a BlackRock executive to brag on tape that: BlackRock is able to “run the world,”  It’s not who is the president it’s who is controlling the wallet of the president. You could buy your candidates. senators are fuckin cheap. Got 10 grand you can buy a senator It doesn’t matter who wins they’re in my pocket. The mass murder of children by the KM is also now being exposed for all to see. The passion of the Christ Actor Jim Caviezel exposed the institutional sex trafficking of children in his new film Sound of Freedom. It is based on a true story of a former government agent on a mission to rescue children from sex traffickers in Colombia. “The three-letter agencies, they’re all involved…adrenochrome is ten times more potent than heroin…A barrel of Adrenochrome and children’s body parts…it’s $77,000…which gets sent to Ukrainian Bioweapons Labs…all organized by the three-letter agencies… There are multiple Epstein Islands run by intelligence agencies/governments, Who is NATO? Who is the UN? Who are the Central Banks? They are the Rothschilds banks.” The Jewish lobby is also turning against the KM as their links to the holocaust and Nazis are being exposed for all to see. Last week for example, Israeli Ambassador to Ukraine Mikhail Brodsky referred to fascist leaders like Stepan Bandera as Ukrainian “national heroes.” The Jewish newspaper “The Forward” in 2021 said the Ukraine had 362 monuments around the world dedicated to Nazis and Nazi collaborators. This is the most of any country. Even though Bandera and his group presided over the death of about 1.4 million Jews “not a single organization for protecting the memory of Holocaust survivors raised an eyebrow” at Brodsky’s remarks. The French have provided us with actionable intelligence by listing Satanists pretending to be Zionists who are working with the genocidal Ukrainian Nazi faction. These are: Benyamin Netanyahu whose father Bension Netanyahu was a Nazi Former Soviet dissident Natan Sharansky, Andriy Yermak, chief of staff to Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky. Rabbi David Niederman, president of the United Jewish Organizations of Williamsburg Oligarch Boris Lozhkin, former chief of staff to President Petro Poroshenko and current president of the Jewish Confederation of Ukraine; Professor Hannah Lessing, Secretary General of the General Fund for Compensation of Victims of National Socialism; Lubavitch Rabbi Raphael Rutman, executive chairman of the Federation of Jewish Communities of Ukraine. Israeli Attorney General Gali Baharav Miyara and the state prosecution have already taken action by refusing to back down on the 4000 file bribery charges against crime minister Binyamin Netanyahu. With the KM realizing they are about to face justice. Many are trying to escape. For example, they staged a media event where the submarine “Titan” imploded near the Titanic wreck. “The entire show was probably faked to allow Epstein perpetrators to escape justice by faking their deaths,” a Canadian intelligence officer says. For example, Hamish Harding a key contributor to the World Economic Forum (WEF) since its inception in 1971 is one of the people who disappeared.   Meanwhile, traitors like Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley are being promised personal security details to protect them from threats — including “embarrassment.” There is also increased space opera activity and “disclosure” going on. For example, a video has been released of former senator Barry Goldwater speaking about UFOs at Wright Patterson air base.     As a part of this disclosure, the Secret Space Program has sent us an “exclusive” video of a reverse-engineered SSP craft. They also sent us this: 1. UFOS over Malaysia and Indonesia   2. UAP over Florida. USA 20-05-2023   3. UFO over the ocean of S. California, USA   4. UFO over Arizona USA 23-01-2023   As usual with this stuff, we urge readers to fully believe in flying saucers when they actually get a chance to ride one.   IITM:  As a Canadian I’m definitely concerned with what is developing, and the world has reasons to be concerned as well… although the darkhats have lost… we have to wonder how far the ones remaining will go.   O.N.E.

Just about any time a poll or survey is taken, those who proclaim their Belief in anthropogenic climate change say they do not want to pay for it and do not really want to change their own lives. Like this piece from For example, while nearly half of adults say they would be willing to pay a $2 monthly tax on their electricity bills to help combat climate change, just over a quarter say they are willing to pay $10 extra each month. And while two-thirds support stricter fuel-efficiency standards for the nation’s cars and trucks, increases in the gas tax remain deeply unpopular. And this Another emerging theme from the survey is that people do not want to spend their own money to combat climate change. Thirty-seven percent do not want to pay any additional taxes, and only 14 percent are willing to pay even $1 more a month. Is it any wonder that I’ve been beating the bandwagon about Warmists not practicing what they preach since the mid-2000’s? New Ipsos polling finds Americans are split on what is causing climate change—if it is happening at all, something that hasn’t changed in the past five years. Yet, among Americans who believe climate change is caused by human activity, most agree that people could slow or reverse climate change but aren’t willing to modify their behavior. Separately, most Americans continue to experience some form of extreme weather that’s become more frequent or intense in their area compared to ten years ago. Heck, here in Raleigh it seems that extreme weather, ie, thunderstorms and tropical systems, have become less frequent. With big storms, that is more toward land use, where the development to the west and southwest of Raleigh changes the wind patterns, causing many storms to diminish before they get to the east side of Raleigh. About half (49%) of Americans believe climate change is mostly caused by human activity, unchanged from 2017 and 2018. However, while many Americans believe climate change is caused by human activity, over a quarter (27%) believe it is mostly caused by natural patterns, and 7% believe it is not happening at all. Sad. 30+ years of Spreading Awareness and the best they can do is 49%. Among those who believe climate change is caused by human activity, the majority (62%) agree that humans could slow or reverse climate change but aren’t willing to change their behavior. So, most do not want to do a damned thing. How many who say they will get an EV, walk, or bike, actually will? There’s a saying in my business: if you don’t believe the stat, cut it in half. Does anyone even believe the 45% divided by 2 number? I’d think more along the lines of 5%. And, it gets even dumber, if that’s possible, when it comes to “extreme weather” First off, wildfires are not weather. And almost all of them have been traced back to someone doing something stupid. But, then notice they blame heat trapping gases for “extreme cold” and “blizzards.” And to top it off, they’re calling earthquakes extreme weather and this is linked to ‘climate change’.

Now those kids are being whipped up into a fever pitch, and soon will be sent out to do battle. Battle against whom, you ask?

More than seven in ten children aged 7-12 are now worried about climate change, research conducted by a UK-based start-up has reportedly found. It comes amid reports from various experts that children and teenagers of various demographics are experiencing high rates of mental health difficulties, with one school councillor earlier this year saying that anxiety rates have hit an all-time high post-lockdown.   by Euronews, the survey — which polled 1,000 children born between 2010 and 2015 on their views regarding the environment — found that a total of 71 per cent of respondents were now worried about environmental changes, including the changing climate. 27 per cent of respondents in particular said that the impact changing global temperatures were having on animals is their greatest concern, while just under one in five were most concerned about plastic pollution. one of the latest examples of so-called eco-anxiety — extreme worry in relation to the changing climate or dangers to the environment — affecting children at a time when educational systems are focusing more and more on ongoing issues to do with emissions and potential catastrophic rise of sea levels. , in particular, eco-anxiety appears to be a growing variable, with the European Union  for its workers in the hopes of helping them to deal with the stress brought about by their climate beliefs. A   published earlier this year found that a significant number of children now also appear to be experiencing “a variety of emotions such as anger, sadness, guilt, and hopelessness that characterize eco-anxiety”, though noted that more research into the phenomenon’s impact on children in particular needed to be done. at a time when many young people are already experiencing major mental health difficulties for a wide variety of reasons, with some experts even suspecting that the on-and-off worldwide COVID lockdowns have had a seriously detrimental effect on the well-being of children. “Kids have the highest level of anxiety I’ve ever seen: anxiety about basic safety and fear of what could happen,” one Colorado school councillor  a New York Times investigation earlier this year. , you are helping us to do what the Lord called us to do.

That misunderstanding is part of the reason the fashionable term now is “climate change”, which could of course mean almost anything. But I have not seen a good explanation of why “global warming” is not a good term. I will provide part of an answer here. Most people intuitively think that if the Earth warms, the temperature will rise. That intuition is wrong, because Earth is an aqueous world, and water behaves in a peculiar way. Unlike many substances, which go from solid to liquid to vapor as the temperature rises, water has a temperature at which solid, liquid, and vapor can all exist at the same time, and introducing heat into the system does not raise temperature on the average, but causes a shift from some of those phases into the others, while the temperature doesn’t change much. The following diagram is intended to illustrate that behavior. The important thing about the Earth is that the average temperature is fairly close to the triple point. Adding heat can cause ice to melt into water, or either of those phases to evaporate into vapor. It is only when almost all the water is vapor that temperature will begin to rise. Of course, water vapor is also a greenhouse gas, so that can cause an even greater rise. Nothing in the geological record indicates that such a runaway rise has ever occurred. Water has always acted to buffer temperature changes within a fairly narrow range. We can speculate that enough heat, together with the sublimation of deep-sea methyl clathrates, together with releases of methane and CO 2   from melting tundra, might combine to produce runaway temperature rise, but that is only speculation, without geological evidence. One would expect that if it had a significant chance of occurring, it would have done so at least once in Earth’s past. That of course does not mean it may not occur in Earth’s future. In the far distant future we can expect it to occur. So what we can expect from global warming is the melting of ice, the rising of sea levels, and more clouds with more rainfall. That is also likely to result in more stormy weather, with more flooding and wind damage. Now because Earth is not spherically symmetric, and there are irregularities on the surface, we can expect average surface temperatures to rise seasonally over land, causing seasonal changes to shift toward the poles and occur earlier as the process unfolds. The great deserts that encircle Earth are likely to shift toward the poles, causing the desiccation of now green areas and increases in widespread forest and grass fires. Once fertile land may become infertile, and infertile land to become fertile again after a span of thousands of years. North Africa and the Levant were once green, about 6000 years ago, before the desert band moved northward. So could sea levels rise as much as 200 feet? Yes. In the past they have been that high. That could inundate low lying coastal areas like Bangladesh, Florida, and the Netherlands, and perhaps even the northern part of the Central Valley of California. It may not be a good time to invest much in coastal resort property. So is this global warming/climate change caused by human activity? Much of it is, although coal fired power plants and automobiles may not be the ,main sources of CO 2.   The isotopic abundances of the carbon in atmospheric CO 2   indicate much of the source is fossil fuels. More of it may come from things like the tilling of topsoil, causing it to oxidize, from runoff of topsoil into the oceans, the burning of grassland and forest, and other such activities over which public policy doesn’t have much control. Even if the developed countries were to stop producing  CO 2    altogether and go entirely to wind, solar, and other “green” sources, it would make little difference. China alone would overwhelm the rest. The notion that we can influence other countries by “setting a good example” is ludicrous. They would just laugh at us. No, the only thing we can do is to develop alternative energy sources. There are two likely sources: thorium nuclear plants, and solar power collected in space, probably on the Moon, and beamed to earth. Your global warning is being caused by the earth that has been shifting on its axis . Look at where the sun used to rise and where it is rising and setting now . The north star or little dipper is not in the north now . I live in Virginia . At 7:00 pm tonight it was over top of my head . It will move westwards all night till going over the horizon . The big dipper that points to the little dipper is now in the northern hemisphere . Heck check the star pattern map , the latest up date you can find seems to be 2007 . Even then it show the little dipper over Canada not over the north pole . This is your climate change ! This is why volcano , earthquakes and weather patterns are going crazy . Some scientist say that we have lost the magnetic force on the poles and we are now shifting poles . But the elite want global warming so they can put regulation on everyone and charge fines and line their pockets . So what becomes of the money they take from you ? It does not go to fix the problem . It is put into their pockets . Trump knows this . Tonight at 11:59 an asteroid is supposed to go between earth and the moon . But have they warned you of this ? No they hope it will hits earth . In their global warming every human is accused of carbon foot print . In other words they want the population thinned out . This is what Trump is fighting against for you with their global warming ! Question the western mts. received over 200 inches of snow so far , you call this global warming ? Sounds like stupidity to me . Find another explanation , this one is not working for me either !

Who’s next? if this kind of inhumanity and carnage is heralded as some kind of ‘benefit to planet’, their is a madness afoot. The ruling class has lost its collective mind and they mean to take us down. This really needs to stop. Killing some cows doesn’t matter for climate change. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) In the latest effort to reduce emissions from agriculture, Ireland said it may kill 200,000 cows. Meanwhile, climate activists have American farms and ranches in the crosshairs. By: Cowboy State Daily, June 02, 2023: Climate activists are coming for livestock producers and farmers. European governments have been targeting the agriculture industry for several years. The Telegraph reports that Ireland’s government may need to reduce that country’s cattle herds by 200,000 cows over the next three years to meet climate targets. In an effort to reduce nitrogen pollution, Reuters reported the European Union last month approved a $1.6 billion Dutch plan to buy out livestock farmers. Front And Center Now the Biden administration is targeting American agriculture. Special President Envoy For Climate John Kerry recently warned at a climate summit for the U.S. Department of Agriculture that the human race’s need to produce food to survive creates 33% of the world’s total greenhouse gasses. “We can’t get to net-zero. We don’t get this job done unless agriculture is front and center as part of the solution,” Kerry said. Microsoft Billionaire Bill Gates also is obsessing about cattle emissions, providing financial support to companies that are developing seaweed supplements and gas masks for cows. It’s ‘Groupthink’ Katy Atkinson, an agricultural advocate who raises cattle in Albany County, told Cowboy State Daily that this conversation on emissions from the industry isn’t considering the beneficial impacts of cattle to the environment and the climate. “Groupthink happens a lot around the climate change conversation. We get tunnel visioned on one piece of it without considering the full ramifications of what’s going to happen if we remove cattle from the land,” Atkinson said. She said cattle contribute to drought resistance, soil health and wildfire reduction. Just before cattle were introduced to North America and the industry began raising them, Atkinson said there were thousands of buffalo roaming the plains. Cows and buffalo are both ruminants, which is a type of animal that brings back food from its stomach and chews it again. These animals’ digestive systems produce methane emissions. Today’s cattle population is similar in numbers to that of the buffalo herds. “So, the methane emissions from ruminant animals aren’t anything new,” Atkinson said. Trapping Carbon Cattle also benefit plant life, Atkinson said. “You need ruminant animals to forage grasses, because they’re the only things that can,” she explained. Pigs, for example, are monogastric and can’t break down high fiber content in grasses. Cow’s digestive system can break the grasses down, and then they fertilize the ground. So, through proper cattle grazing management, Atkinson said the cattle she’s raising are helping plants to grow. In the atmosphere, the methane they burp out — most of it is released through the mouth of the animal — breaks down in 10 to 15 years into carbon dioxide and water. The plants that cattle help to grow use that carbon dioxide. The carbon then gets put back into the soil through the grasses’ roots. “So the cattle are essential in helping to keep that carbon trapped in the ground,” Atkinson said. Atkinson said cattle have other benefits to the climate that are being ignored in the focus on just their emissions. Whenever soil cracks or fissures, it releases carbon into the air. The animals walking upon the soil compacts it and helps keep the carbon trapped in the soil. She said one study done by the University of Florida found that between 10% and 30% of the world’s carbon storage is found under the feet of U.S. cattle. That’s gonna be one hell of a BBQ!

It doesn’t work.” Kerry’s narrative to starve people by cutting off their food supplies to save people from starving seems bizarre. But that’s because the agenda he’s promoting uses climate and greenhouse gas emissions as a smokescreen. Kerry is obsessed with three things: money, natural resources, and disenfranchising people from both.  The same obsessions as the Globalists. This shouldn’t come as a surprise. He was accused as far back as 2011 of being  when he was named as one of 12 members of the newly formed “Super Congress.” The Agriculture Innovation Mission for Climate (“ ” or “AIM4C”) Summit brought together partners worldwide to drive rapid and transformative climate action.  AIM4C is a joint initiative by the United States (“US”) and the United Arab Emirates (“UAE”). The Summit is a premier global event ‘for the partners, by the partners’ that will provide a game-changing platform for AIM for Climate partners to raise ambition and amplify their work in climate-smart agriculture and food systems innovation.” It was supported by the   (“FFAR”), a partner of AIM4C. FFAR was  . The creation of FFAR was announced by the US Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. AIM4C’s private   Bill & Melinda Gates Agricultural Innovations and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Another AIM4C partner is Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA), a  that looked to “elevate the single coordinated African voice” at the  . However, the   (“AFSA”) and   pointed out that the AGRA-promoted approach to farming – monocultural commodity production heavily reliant on chemical inputs – is great for the big agribusiness corporations that make up the AGRA alliance but terrible for African farmers. Related:  Other private partners of AIM4C are the United Nations (“UN”) Food and Agriculture Organisation, UN Foundation, UN International Fund for Agricultural Development, UN Global Alliance for Climate Smart Agriculture, and The World Bank. The UN is a non-governmental organization (“NGO”) which the Rockefellers were instrumental in establishing in 1946.  As an independent researcher and author, : “They view [the UN] as their own little club or organization.” Even though it appears they are not the UN’s major funders – in 2022, for example, The Rockefeller Foundation gave US$1.95 million   while the total funding of the UN is   per annum – the UN acknowledged in 2012 that   over the years. The UN library is named after John D. Rockefeller and David Rockefeller gifted a painting of John to the UN saying “he hoped it would serve as a reminder of his father’s generosity.” Further reading: AIM4C is not the first time Kerry has partnered with the UN. In April 2021, Kerry, along with Janet Yellen and Mark Carney, launched Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (“GFANZ”).   of private banking and financial institutions to overhaul the role of global and regional financial institutions, including the World Bank and IMF, as part of a broader plan to “transform” the global financial system. a Principals Group comprising CEOs from financial institutions, representative(s) from the UN, chairs of the GFANZ regional networks, and the GFANZ Leadership Team.  , including BlackRock’s Larry Fink who is also on WEF’s Board of Trustees, have long been enthusiastic about the prospects of Natural Asset Corporations and other related  and he has also played a key role in marketing such financialization as necessary to combat climate change. Additional links between Kerry, the Rockefellers, and the UN are under the guise of “energy transition.” At COP27 last November, (“ETA”). This is a global public-private partnership (“G3P”) between the US State Department, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the Bezos Earth Fund.   ETA is part of a $4.2 trillion capital investment initiative that exploits Target 7.b of the UN Sustainable Development Goals which specifies the Global South as the pilot region for the worldwide transformation of energy markets.   The result of this exploitation is that poorer nations, through G3P initiatives like the ETA and global investment strategies like GFANZ, will be forced to accept practically useless renewables. A further link to Globalists is Kerry’s involvement with the NGO, the World Economic Forum (“WEF”).  Kerry is listed as  .  Since 2007,  .    titled ‘ Philanthropy: A Catalyst for Protecting Our Planet ’, Kerry revealed his god complex.  He said “[that] we, a select group of human, beings” can come together to talk about saving the planet is “almost extra-terrestrial.” Further resources:  , The Corbett Report, 25 May 2013 (Video and Show notes  ). With the above in mind, below are excerpts from Kerry’s 22-minute speech at the AIM4C Summit. We have added some brief commentary to give his remarks some context. For clarity we have  italicized  remarks made by Kerry at the Summit, the numbers in [square brackets] denote the timestamp of his remark   above.  in November 2021 as part of the World Leaders’ Summit at the   (“COP26”). The initiative is led by the UAE and the US with the support of over 30 governments. The announcement was made by: Mariam bint Mohammed Almheiri, UAE Minister of Climate Change and Environment; Tom Vilsack, US Agriculture Secretary; Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, UAE Special Envoy for Climate Change and UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology; and, John Kerry. Kerry said at its launch that AIM4C had an impressive start as it had already garnered $4 billion in investment in climate-smart agriculture and food systems innovation. “[Mariam Almheiri has] been with us since the very beginning when Tom Vilsack and I were privileged to join the UAE, together with Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber and Sheikh Abdullah, and we made the announcement about this concept of an innovation mission for agriculture [AIM4C].” [22:17] Kerry was one of the three who in April 2021 launched GFANZ as part of a plan to transform the global financial system.  Six months later COP26 was held in Glasgow. “Together we all made this announcement in Glasgow that we were going to supercharge investment into climate-smart agriculture, into innovation. And that is exactly what we have succeeded in doing.” [25:54].  According to the  , climate-smart agriculture encompasses the three main dimensions of sustainable development: economic, social and environmental.  In other words, “sustainably increasing agricultural productivity and incomes; adapting and building resilience to climate change; and reducing and/or removing greenhouse gas emissions.” One of the institutions leading the adoption of climate-smart agriculture is the UN’s  (“IAEA”). IAEA, in cooperation with the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation (“FAO”), supports this integrated approach to addressing the causes and effects of climate change. “In Glasgow, we challenged AIM partners to double the funding for climate-smart agriculture innovation. And that’s exactly what we did … [in] Sharm El Sheikh last year we set our aims high again. The goal was to surpass 10 billion dollars in new collective investment. And AIM partners have actually eclipsed that target, yet again, unlocking not 10 but 13 billion in investment in climate-smart agriculture and innovation.” [26:36]  in Sharm El-Sheikh in November 2022. It was at COP27 that Kerry extolled the virtues of ETA which, through UN Sustainable Development Goals, exploits the poorer nations, particularly in the Global South. “AIM now has over 50 government partners [and] 500 individual partners from around the world and growing.” [27:26] Earlier in this article we highlighted a few of AIM4C’s partners. You can view a full list  .  We have searched AIM4C’s website for a list of who has invested and with how much but no such information is available. “We [at the Summit] are 33% of emissions represented in this sort of gathering [of Agricultural Ministers] and more, in some ways, because of transportation, because of heavy industry, because of all the other components of the food chain – literally food chain, supply chain” [30:54] “Emissions from the food system alone are projected to cause another half a degree of warming by mid-century” [33:07] “A [2 o C] future could result in an additional 600 million people not getting enough to eat and you just can’t continue to both warm the planet while also expecting to feed. It doesn’t work” [33:52] “So, we need the innovation to, obviously, limit livestock production contributions to our emissions and to come up with novel feed additives and other ways of dealing with it. We need innovation to get plants the nutrients that they require without the high environmental and climate costs of nitrous oxide emissions and fossil fuel-based fertilizers” [36:07] “Looking ahead: We’ve built a foundation, now we have to come to COP28 which already has three automatic outcomes. There will be a stock take, global stocktake, we can just read the IPCC report of a few weeks ago and you understand where that’s going to be not great news. Then we have the adaptation report and we have to double the amount of money – because we promised to do that in Sharm El-Sheikh, in Glasgow – on adaptation. And we will have the loss and damage fund to try to give life to it and begin to build legitimate faith and trust with the Global South of the world which contributes so little to this problem” [36:57] It has to be said again. At COP27 Kerry extolled the virtues of ETA which, through UN Sustainable Development Goals, exploits the poorer nations, particularly in the Global South. Also, how does he expect to build faith and trust with the Global South while continuing on the trajectory of using  ? The world has woken up to the UN’s climate agenda using biodiversity, for example, as a cover for   and to implement  . Further reading:  , Watts Up With That? 13 November 2013 “I invite you to join a list of 12 countries – including Spain, Chile, Australia and, yesterday, Brazil – signed up to a joint declaration to address the challenge of methane emissions from food production” [37:56] “I hope we can work together to bring new levels of investment to agricultural adaptation through the PREPARE program which President Biden announced.” [38:08] At COP26,   a plan – the   (“PREPARE”) – to help poorer countries adapt to climate change that he hopes will provide $3 billion in financing per year by fiscal 2024. “Here at the Summit, we’ve announced mobilizing 140 million in collective investment, towards a goal of 200 million, to provide innovative solutions to deal with the challenge of livestock. But we’re making progress there. It’s rather remarkable what is happening with diet and other inputs” [39:41] “We know exactly what we have to do. The IAEA has been clear about how we get to the goal of 2030 – which is a 45% reduction in emissions by 2030 and then continue down to Net Zero by 2050. That’s what we have to do  to keep 1.5 degrees.” [41:48] “We need every single person here to be pushing this narrative of the way in which agriculture is going to contribute [to global warming] … so that we … get the job done.” [42:50] This article has been contributed by SHTF Plan.

The vigilant CO2 Coalition has looked into the claims that this 4th of July was the hottest 4th of July ever.  Using the data available in the U. S. Historical Climatology Network, NOAA NCEI, for the Lower 48 US states, the maximum average temperature among the weather stations is for the 4th of July: This chart does not have the 4 July 2023 data point yet, since NOAA apparently has not yet provided such recent data.  Let us suppose that 4 July 2023 actually was the hottest recorded US 4th of July, though I suspect that is not the case.  That would only be significant for the claim of catastrophic man-made global warming if it were part of a 4th of July warming trend.  Now, despite the increasing concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere throughout the period 1890 to 2022, the maximum average temperature on the 4th of July has been nearly constant over the 1895 to 2022 period of time.  The trend line has actually shown a small decrease with time! The CO2 Coalition has provided us with another way of looking at the temperature record for the 4th of July: This chart shows the percentage of the weather stations recording temperatures greater than 100F on the 4th of July from 1895 to 2022.  This percentage also has a downward trendline.   If the temperatures of the U.S. 4th of Julys have a story to tell, it is that the U.S. is slowly cooling.  If CO2 is the thermostat controlling the climate, then the cooling effects of CO2 have become dominant over increased warming effects at the concentrations reached by about 1950.  This would imply that the atmospheric concentration of CO2 for which its warming effect reaches a maximum is about 310 ppm.  Above that concentration, additional atmospheric CO2 causes cooling. Of course, choosing a single day of the year is not the best way to determine whether the U.S. is warming or cooling over more than 12 decades.  But it is a much better indicator than the one single 4th of July of one year that the priests of catastrophic man-made global warming have offered the world as proof of global warming due to man’s CO2 emissions. The catastrophic man-made global warming hypothesis has been proven false many, many times.  It is based on a misunderstanding of thermal radiation, the ignorance of CO2 cooling effects, poor surface temperature records, misguided temperature record manipulations, a wanton neglect of the benefits of atmospheric CO2, an overestimation of the economic harms of warming, and a fervor to reduce mankind’s ability to use the resources of the Earth to improve the human standard of living. Yet Americans continue to leave northern states for the warming climates of southern states.  Apparently, humans prosper in warmth.  Imagine that.

Music superstars Lenny Kravitz, Billie Eilish and H.E.R. will team with advocacy nonprofit Global Citizen for a free concert in front of the Eiffel Tower designed to convince world leaders to take further action against climate change. “Power Our Planet: Live in Paris” is set for June 22 to coincide with the Summit for a New Global Financial Pact, a gathering of the world’s political and business leaders to help developing nations finance sustainability projects. Global Citizen CEO Hugh Evans says the summit is an opportunity for governments and global banks to collaborate to jump start climate projects stalled by the COVID-19 pandemic. He hopes “Power Our Planet” will encourage leaders to take advantage of that opportunity and provide the $16.7 billion in   promised in 2009 to lower-income countries. He is also seeking to advance reforms at the World Bank to make up to $1 trillion in additional financing available. If these projects are so great then why aren’t banks dumping their own money into them? Why is it necessary for “superstars” to take long fossil fueled trips to participate in concerts where people take lots of fossil fueled travel to attend? The French government published a decree Tuesday banning domestic commercial airline flights for journeys possible in less than two-and-a-half hours by train. AFP   although the move was first included in a 2021 climate law and applied in practice, the Union of French Airports (UAF) as well as the European branch of the Airports Council International (ACI Europe) sought European Commission action to investigate whether it was legal. It has now been passed into law. The legislation does specify train services on the same route must be frequent, timely and well-connected enough to meet the needs of passengers who would otherwise travel by air — and able to absorb the increase in passenger numbers, according to AFP. Here’s where it gets fun No comparable decree for elite private jet travel on the same routes has yet been issued. In other words, the Elites, including those passing the laws, can still take their private flights. Funny how this always only applies to the peasants.

Although the changes are not as visible as melting polar ice caps, they are no less real. As in many lakes around the world, water temperature is on the rise in Lake Tanganyika. This and other climate-related factors are causing subtle but significant changes that threaten the ecological stability of the lake and the livelihoods of people who depend on it. With air temperatures across tropical Africa expected to rise as much as 2–5 degrees Celsius (3.5–9 degrees Fahrenheit) over the next 50-100 years, warming lake trends are also expected to continue. The changes underway serve as early warning signs, not just for the lake region, but perhaps, for the planet as a whole. Considered one of the African Great Lakes, Tanganyika is the world’s second largest lake (by volume) and second deepest, after Russia’s Lake Baikal. It contains 17 percent of the world’s surface freshwater – almost as much water as all five of the North American Great Lakes combined. At more than 10 million years old, Tanganyika is among an elite group of only 20 or so in the world. Lake Tanganyika also ranks in the top tier of some found to have globally significant freshwater biodiversity. Four countries border the lake: Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo), Tanzania, and Zambia. This poses a major challenge for lake conservation and management efforts. About 10 million people live in the lake’s drainage basin, and the population is growing rapidly (by a rate of 2.5 percent per year), according to a 2006 about the lake. In the nearshore areas of the lake, the rate of growth is nearly double the national average at 4 percent per year. […] Catherine M. O’Reilly, an assistant professor of geology at , talked with me last fall at a meeting of the Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network ( ). O’Reilly began studying the lake as part of a team looking at the impacts of deforestation in the Tanganyika watershed, where an astounding 100 percent of the native vegetation has been cleared in the northern portion of the watershed. It might not seem obvious, but if you’re interested in learning more about historical land use changes in the lake’s watershed or about the biological communities that have lived in the lake, a good place to look is in the mud at the bottom of the lake. […] O’Reilly found that water temperatures in Lake Tanganyika have warmed 0.1 degrees Celsius (0.18 degrees Fahrenheit) per decade or 1 degree Celsius (1.8 degrees Fahrenheit) over for the past 100 years. Not only is this affecting the ecological stability of the lake, it has resulted in a 20 percent reduction in biological productivity in the lake. Scientists are concerned about how continued warming will affect fish stocks and the lake’s rich biodiversity. Reduced fish catches would impact millions of people living in the lake region, many whom live on less than a dollar a day and depend on the lake for basic human needs – the protein from fish and clean water to drink. More recent show that the rate of warming in Lake Tanganyika is consistent with other lakes around the world. Although it is not warming as rapidly as some lakes in the northern hemisphere, O’Reilly told me that even small changes in lake temperature can cause major disruptions in the lake’s ecological stability.

We are told climate change can be arrested for the first time in the planet’s history by growing Big Government. As everyone who listens to the mainstream media knows, forest fires result from climate change — even if : Authorities busted a Democratic donor for allegedly starting a “ginormous inferno” in Yosemite National Park. Democratic politicians had insisted climate change was to blame for the blaze, which destroyed more than 100 homes and injured several firefighters in July 2022. The aptly named Edward Fredrick Wackerman was arrested Friday. He ran up some impressive stats: The arson suspect has donated to Democratic candidates and committees since 2020, government records , including a donation to Tim Ryan’s failed U.S. Senate campaign in 2022 and to the Lincoln Project, a disgraced liberal super PAC. The so-called Oak Fire destroyed homes and outbuildings. Roughly people were forced to evacuate as the inferno torched square miles of land and smoke from the fire drifted more than miles into parts of Nevada and the San Francisco Bay Area. Arson may have been the immediate cause. But no doubt stress caused by climate change exacerbated Wackerman’s mental state. Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) was among the Democrats who exploited the fire to demagogue about the global warming hoax: Thank you to all the firefighters and first responders working tirelessly under difficult conditions to combat the . Worsening drought and severe weather will only continue to put lives and property at risk from wildfire if we don’t take climate action NOW. — Senator Alex Padilla (@SenAlexPadilla) are suspected in the Canadian forest fires that caused moonbats in the Northeast to panic over the smoke earlier this month. Climate change was of course blamed there too: These Canadian wildfires are truly unprecedented, and climate change continues to make these disasters worse. We passed the Inflation Reduction Act to fight climate change, and we must do more to speed our transition to cleaner energy and reduce carbon in the atmosphere. — Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) Suppose leftists started the Canadian fires for the same reason they stage — to “raise awareness” of a cherished nonexistent problem. Then climate change was responsible for those fires too. On tips from Jester and Barry A. The post appeared first on .

Zillionaire Tinseltowner Steven Spielberg says he is “terrified” of those who “go blithely through life” without worrying about their imaginary impact on the climate. Spielberg’s plane, a Gulfstream G650, has burned at least $116,159 worth of jet fuel over the course of 16 trips spanning nearly 17,000 miles since June 23, according to flight tracking data from ADS-B Exchange and compiled by the database Celebrity Jets. The figures are likely an underestimate since the database didn’t calculate fuel and distance metrics of at least three trips made by Spielberg’s jet. If only the hypocrisy of our moonbat ruling class could be converted into energy, we would not need to offend them by burning fossil fuels. Spielberg’s jet has emitted at least over the last two months. Imagine the fossil fuels required to keep his at the perfect temperature. No worries; Spielberg makes up for it by at Democrats, who impose policies that drive up the cost of air travel and drive down the standard of living, making members of the deplorable middle class ever less able to afford flying coach and heating their homes. That makes Spielberg carbon neutral. If he had a chest, he would be entitled to puff it out in self-righteousness. Fortunately, Spielberg’s massive carbon emissions will have no more effect on the planet than anyone else’s. “Global warming is a scientific reality. It’s not a political trick. It’s a true piece of real, measurable, quantifiable science,” bleats Spielberg. His lifestyle proves that even he knows this isn’t true. Other posturing Hollyweirdos match his hypocrisy: Leonardo DiCaprio went on multiple fossil fuel-powered trips over the last several years while pushing for extreme measures to combat climate change. In 2016, DiCaprio reportedly from Europe to New York City to accept an award for his environmental activism. He then returned to Europe for a charity event. That same year, DiCaprio took a private jet to the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland. At the summit, the WEF gave DiCaprio its Crystal Award for his “leadership in tackling the climate crisis.” As noted at , Perhaps we should stop listening to celebrities who get rich off playacting. Spielberg preaches that “everybody has to be held responsible” for their personal role in the fictional climate change crisis.

OK, stop and think about how that is presented:  “ Castro County Sheriff Sal Rivera believes the fire started by methane being ignited from overheating electrical equipment. ”  Why is this important?  It’s because this goes hand-in-hand with the entire climate change narrative.  Remember?  Cow farts, which contain methane, are causing “climate change.”  Nonsense!  But look how they place it right at the center of the “cause” of the explosion and fire. Keep your ears open and be discerning as the narrative on this one is definitely going to push the hoax that is climate change. Article posted with permission from that “barn” houses 18,000 cows-it processes 180,000 lbs on cow shit a day which separates the water from the shit to make manure which city folk throw on their lawns,gardens–refineries do the same thing with oil–they have to be very careful collecting the methane from that process which the oil industry used to just burn off to get rid of but tighter regulations stopped that–only in a rare breakdown of the process do they burn it off it now,called flaring –cow shit processing at huge dairies will have to be more careful or they may have more burnt cows!!! no mystery,no drama, no cow farts conspiracy–this article was written by a clown i worked in the diary business a few years back for over a decade and I say it is impossible for a dairy to go up in flames and kill off 18,000 cows. Dairies are very open and more than well vented and even in the milking parlors it is a very wet environment as the area is constantly being hosed down and washed out. There is DEFINITELY more to this story than a “methane” explosion as even if it WAS a methane explosion there is no way it is going to kill that many cows. Lies, lies and more lies……we are under a slow progressive sustained attack commonly known as “battlefield prep”. I find it amazing how they can do so much murdering and destroying and the sheep just go on baying….baa baa..as if all is normal. Soon we will wake up to a new day and things will never be the same again so enjoy the show and have as much fun as you can with what time you got left. Sounds like eco-terrorist. They should be hung, dried and eaten. You know to save the cows. I used to go from dairy to dairy picking up milk every day and some of the dairies had 1000;s of cows and they spread the cow shit out in rows out in large out door open areas to let it dry out so it could be bagged and shipped wherever they want to send it. I say they are lying through through their teeth. How a dairy can just up and explode like that I would have said is an impossibility. They are simply to well ventilated for that to happen and the feed is stored remotely…….no way man……..I can’t buy into it. going to tell you low IQ people one more time–that is a huge dairy–18,000 cows is giant—180,000 lbs of cow shit a day you are not going to spread that much shit,no way–they process it–the methane is store in a giant tank like propane is,processed,compressed to liquid just like a refinery does–you know how many fires,explosions have happened at refineries because of mishandling of the gases? many over the years–see if your low IQ brain can process that–if a leak off that tank sets off explosion,fire,the cows will burn to a crisp on their own–hears it was a 20,000 gallon tank that might have been overfilled,reach over pressure–one dumb ass immigrant was alone,running the equipment OK…one more bit about dairies. I used to feel sorry for the cows that were on the big corporate owned dairies….they lived their entire lives standing in their own waste never seeing a blade of green grass just life in a massive concrete prison packed in together the same way they want to do to us. The cows on the smaller privately owned dairies were much better off as they got to go into green pastures everyday. A dairy owner once told me that happy cows produce more and better milk and that being able to go out into a pasture everyday was a major part of keeping his cows happy. Most all of the smaller mom and pop dairies have shut down because they could not compete with the giant corporate prison farms. I have long thought that it would be an act of empathetic mercy to out law those massive cow prisons and to go back to the smaller family owned operations where the cows get to experience a green pasture and not have to spend their entire lives standing and laying in their own shit. Also after seeing what they do with the male calves and how they are treated I will never eat veal. Could you imagine spending your short life in a cage so small you could barely turn around? Even if a propane line came loose in the milking parlor or something and ignited you could not kill that many cows all at once. Impossible….just flat ass impossible. The corporate dairies are all concrete and steel and miles of stainless pipe and every aspect of a dairies operation is very closely monitored I don’t give a shit what you say anonymous there is absolutely no way in hell any kind of explosion at any kind of dairy could kill 18,000 cows. I have never seen any kind of “methane ” storage or reclamation system at any dairy I ever went to (and that was a lot of them in the western half of the U.S.) as fresh cow shit does not produce that much methane to begin with and yes some of even the biggest dairies do indeed spread huge quantities of manure over areas designated just for that purpose and after it dries it is scraped up with bucket loaders.and then most of it goes out onto the hay and alfalfa fields that they use to grow the feed. Some of it is pumped out of a pond through a sprinkler system and some of it is spread out on the fields dry. No…it is you anonymous that don’t know what you are talking about and I have for a long time thought you are a shill anyways.

By: ,  This seems like an appropriate time for a story like this to pop up since it involves both smoke clouds and climate change. You probably heard how AOC was the clouds of smoke wafting down from the Canadian wildfires last week on climate change. As you likely expected without even needing to check, that turns out to be nonsense. But the underlying facts that prove its nonsensical nature turn out to be well rooted in science. And researching this question turns up something even more interesting, which we’ll get to in a moment. You should check out the work of of the Heartland Institute. He’s been studying the weather and the climate in general for a very long time. He travels around the country inspecting meteorological equipment and studies historical weather data from around the world. One of the first findings he would like the public to be aware of is that not only are wildfires common in many parts of North America, but the reality is that in the 21st century, than they were in the past. They’re just getting more attention from the press and on social media. Rather than focusing discussion on what the real or imagined harms may be, how to mitigate them, and how to help people, climate activists are taking the opportunity to blame “climate change” for the smoke. The reality is wildfires are becoming less frequent and severe as the planet modestly warms. As wildfires become less frequent, it is nonsensical to blame the few wildfires that remain on climate change… “Peer-reviewed studies and verified satellite observations show beyond a shadow of a doubt that wildfires in the long term, mid-term, and short term have become less frequent and less severe as the Earth modestly warms. The likely reason is the measured increase in evaporation from the world’s oceans, which has resulted in more frequent global precipitation.” That’s not the shocking part of the story, however. When discussing the “modest warming” that the planet has exhibited, there is a need to have solid data. But as Dr. Watts has examined weather stations around the country, he has discovered that the available data may be nearly useless when attempting to quantify very slight changes in average temperatures. That’s because And the reason for that is the reality that the vast majority of thermometers that NOAA relies on are improperly installed and maintained, leading to the recording of artificially higher temperatures. A new study,  Corrupted Climate Stations: The Official U.S. Surface Temperature Record Remains Fatally Flawed , finds approximately 96 percent of U.S. temperature stations used to measure climate change fail to meet what the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) considers to be “acceptable” and uncorrupted placement by its own published standards. The report, published by The Heartland Institute, was compiled via satellite and in-person survey visits to NOAA weather stations that contribute to the “official” land temperature data in the United States. The research shows that 96% of these stations are corrupted by localized effects of urbanization – producing heat-bias because of their close proximity to asphalt, machinery, and other heat-producing, heat-trapping, or heat-accentuating objects. The first two world wide equipment managers for the British Royal/Uppsala Sweden ‘Carbon Tax Credit/Global Warming’ fraud QUIT their participation in the project over 25 years ago because the top government directors used phony data and installed new weather stations near giant asphalt parking lots and industrial air conditioning vents as standard practice.

" unreliable,"AOC Tweets Climate Change Video That Has GOP'rs Crying This Friday, with the leadership of figures like teenage activist Greta Thunberg, a massive “climate strike” is getting underway in which students and others forego their normal responsibilities in favor of demonstrating to demand attention to and action on climate change — which is already here, just to be clear. Just ask those affected by the recent Hurricane Dorian, which was one of the handful of strongest storms in the Atlantic Ocean in recorded modern history. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) tweeted in support of the climate strikers this Friday, bringing attention to the fight to protect the climate where others — particularly on the right — continue to fail. She shared a video from journalist Brian Kahn showing parts of a climate strike crowd in Berlin where some 100,000 people had gathered, adding that it’s “incredible.” These kinds of crowds are not some ragtag band of reactionaries — they’re packed with people from all walks of life who are deeply concerned with the observable changes in the climate and the incessant refusal on some in power to put aside business and political interests and directly confront the problem. Incredible. — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) Ocasio-Cortez has confronted the problem — she introduced a so-called “Green New Deal” in the House, which as a resolution included aims like getting the U.S. to net-zero carbon emissions within ten years and working to protect vulnerable, marginalized communities on the front lines of climate change. Republicans have by and large refused to take the effort seriously, whining about possible impacts on meat and plastic straw availability, for instance. Others are taking it very seriously however. During her time in the U.S., Thunberg met with interests including Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.), who introduced a version of the Green New Deal in the Senate, where Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (D-Ky.) has refused to allow for time to debate and hash out details of the measure. Thunberg also testified before Congress this past week, speaking before the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Europe, Eurasia, Energy and the Environment and the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis, the latter of which Democrats formed after taking back control of the House in 2018.

The authors chose only results that supported their conclusion and ignored any other data. They matched their data to an a theory. Finally, they ignored physics in their examples, according to Hayhoe: ‘IN MANY CASES, SHORTCOMINGS ARE DUE TO INSUFFICIENT MODEL EVALUATION, LEADING TO RESULTS THAT ARE NOT UNIVERSALLY VALID BUT RATHER ARE AN ARTIFACT OF A PARTICULAR EXPERIMENTAL SETUP.’ Much research into climate science remains.

Atmospheric Agency Mocks Trump's Climate Change Tweet When you’ve lost your own government — something is wrong. This week, President Donald Trump again mocked climate change, this time in light of an ongoing cold snap rocking parts of the United States. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) itself shot back, sharing info via its social media outlining how, quite simply: ‘Winter storms don’t prove that global warming isn’t happening.’ Winter storms don’t prove that global warming isn’t happening. — NOAA Climate.gov (@NOAAClimate) They did not explicitly tie their info to the president’s comments — but it emerged only hours after he offered them. Alongside that caption, they linked to a post on NOAA’s “Climate.Gov” website laying out how the persistence of winter storms has absolutely nothing to do with the question of whether or not the climate is changing — let alone thanks to human activity — no matter how many times the president resuscitates the same inane “joke.” Monday night, Trump ranted on Twitter: ‘In the beautiful Midwest, windchill temperatures are reaching minus 60 degrees, the coldest ever recorded. In coming days, expected to get even colder. People can’t last outside even for minutes. What the hell is going on with Global Waming? Please come back fast, we need you!’ He is correct that temperatures across the Midwest are dipping into record lows. On Wednesday, Chicago will be colder than Mount Everest, Antarctica, and Siberia, with a high of just 12 degrees below zero. Trump is however desperately wrong when it comes to the implication of this fact, although he’s not likely to offer any kind of course correction anytime soon. He’s used this exact same reasoning during other cold snaps before. This is the guy who’s repeatedly insisted that he’s great with technology despite little evidence to suggest as much — and evidence to the contrary, like that he reportedly spent months dismissing internal pushes for security checks of the iPhone he uses for Twitter as “too inconvenient.” Years ago, in an infamous example of his testy at best relationship with the truth about climate change, Trump claimed global warming was a hoax invented by the Chinese. (He’s still going after the Chinese today, although not over global warming. A “cease fire” in an exchange of tariffs he kickstarted is nearing its previously set conclusion.) More recently, he told 60 Minutes : ‘I think something’s happening. Something’s changing and it’ll change back again. I don’t think it’s a hoax, I think there’s probably a difference. But I don’t know that it’s man-made.’ The standard should not be whether or not the president of the United States acknowledges tangible reality as definitely not a hoax — but here we are. The Trump administration has the power to work to counter climate change, yet we’re mired in the question of whether we can get the commander-in-chief to even acknowledge reality or not. He’s long already announced plans to withdraw the United States from the Paris Climate Accord, which close to every other country on the planet had signed onto, agreeing to work towards a set of standards for countering climate change. The forever contrarian Trump declared that the agreement didn’t do enough for American business — which eventually won’t be around unless he starts taking the realities of the situation seriously.

" unreliable,"Trump Responds To Official Climate Change Report - Embarrasses Himself Instantly This past week, the Trump administration released a report outlining a grim future for the United States and world. According to the findings, which are the product of the results of the work of 300 researchers, the nation is set to lose one-tenth of its GDP by 2100 as it hurdles towards catastrophic warming of three degrees Fahrenheit in that same time frame. Those looking to President Donald Trump for support in this time of looming crisis would find — nothing. Monday, speaking to reporters outside the White House, the president asserted that he “doesn’t believe” the findings. He explained of the report: ‘I’ve seen it, I’ve read some of it, and it’s fine. I don’t believe it. And here’s another thing, you’re going to have to have China and Japan and all of Asia and all of these other countries — you know, it addresses our country. Right now we’re the cleanest we’ve ever been, and that’s very important to me. But if we’re clean, and every other place on earth is dirty, that’s not so good. So I want clean air, I want clean water — very important.’ Trump dismisses govt report about dire economic consequences of climate change: “I don’t believe it. And here’s other thing, you’re going to have to China & Japan & all of Asia & all of these other countries — you know, it addresses our country. Right now we’re the cleanest.” — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) To suggest that “we’re clean and every other place is dirty” is a gross simplification of the situation. The struggle to maintain the world’s climate isn’t a contest of who has the bigger stick or the better numbers, since we’re all on the same planet. The report in question doesn’t separate the United States from the effects of climate change just because it’s got Donald Trump at the helm at the moment, asserting: ‘Without substantial and sustained global mitigation and regional adaptation efforts, climate change is expected to cause growing losses to American infrastructure and property and impede the rate of economic growth over this century.’ However, Trump seems to take the latest warnings about the incoming effects of climate change as an affront to his ego and little else. He wants America — and his leadership — to be best to the point of completely ignoring and dismissing reality — and that’s not just hyperbole or conjecture. He offered similar reasoning when he withdrew the United States from the Paris climate accord, claiming it as an affront to the utopia he’s supposedly enacting in the U.S. — despite the fact that climate change continues to approach whether he likes it or not. Backing that move up, his administration has moved to undercut environmental regulations wherever it can, aiming to slash the Clean Power Plan, the Waters of the United States rule, and beyond. In the past, Trump has infamously suggested that global warming is a hoax invented by the Chinese as — you guessed it — a jab at American industry dollars. Just recently, he suggested that global warming and climate change aren’t as bad as scientists claim because of the cold weather wave that hit the East Coast around the Thanksgiving holiday — although in reality, it’s yet another example of the extreme weather that’s spiked in the aftermath of globally warming average temperatures. Imagine being so attached to an ideology that you refuse to recognize the tangible reality of climate change right in front of you. Featured Image via No related posts. " unreliable,"Official Climate Change Report Released & Trump Is Hiding Like A Coward Climate change scientists issued a new report that was released on Friday and the implications are dire unless dedicated action is taken to address it. Of course, that’s going to be a difficult process when the president’s response to questions about climate change is “I want great climate and we’re going to have that.” Brutal and Extended Cold Blast could shatter ALL RECORDS – Whatever happened to Global Warming? — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) reports that: ‘More than 300 federal and nonfederal scientists worked on the report, the first of its kind under the Trump administration, with its final draft reviewed by 13 federal agencies.’ Phil Duffy, who works as a climate change scientist, sat for an interview with reporters from The Hill and listed the most important things that should be recognized about the new report. For instance, the report stands in direct contradiction to Trump’s stated beliefs about climate change. Since this was released on a day no one would notice it… as in a Friday during a holiday weekend..let’s make sure everyone DOES notice it as reported below: “Massive federal climate change report warns of devastating health and economic costs to the U.S.” — Amy Klobuchar (@amyklobuchar) Trump has said that he is unsure if climate change is the direct result of human activity and that, while he believes that global warming is real, the climate will eventually change back to normal. Duffy says that is absolutely false, commenting that “the president is wrong.” ‘The report concludes that the effects of climate change cannot be reversed, but says that its worst effects can be mitigated through aggressive action at all levels.’ The also indicate that Trump’s deregulation policies will add to the rapidly changing climate. It says that: ‘Transformations in the energy sector—including the displacement of coal by natural gas and increased deployment of renewable energy—along with policy actions at the national, regional, state, and local levels are reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. While these adaptation and mitigation measures can help reduce damages in a number of sectors, this assessment shows that more immediate and substantial global greenhouse gas emissions reductions, as well as regional adaptation efforts, would be needed to avoid the most severe consequences in the long term.’ The climate crisis threatens both our communities & our economy. While ignores his own admin’s report, House Dems are pushing for action w/ select committee on . We can create millions of good-paying jobs w/ bold, green infrastructure investments! — Nancy Pelosi (@SpeakerPelosi) The report also states that climate change will have a direct and massive effect on the economy, “slashing up to 1/10 of America’s GDP by 2100.” The report is believed to have been buried by being released on the same day as the Black Friday report. Finally, the report indicates that climate change will have the greatest effects first on marginalized communities. ‘Many Indigenous peoples are reliant on natural resources for their economic, cultural, and physical well-being and are often uniquely affected by . The impacts of climate change on water, land, coastal areas, and other natural resources, as well as infrastructure and related services, are expected to increasingly disrupt Indigenous peoples’ livelihoods and economies, including agriculture and agroforestry, fishing, recreation, and tourism.’ Trump administration buried a report saying climate change is an urgent threat by releasing it this weekend.

" unreliable,"American Meteorological Society Responds To Trump's Ridiculous Climate Change Denial It’s no secret that the president’s priorities are not in line with those held to by, quite frankly, the vast majority of the American population and even the population of the world. He makes up problems that don’t exist so he can win people to his side in a war that doesn’t need to be fought. One of the real world issues that Trump has consistently dismissed is that of climate change. He dismissed the issue’s significance before ever rising to political prominence, and he’s repeated those dismissals since taking office. Now, the American Meteorological Society at the president for his latest dismissal of climate change, which came just this past weekend. During an interview with the always incendiary Piers Morgan, Trump commented: ‘There is a cooling, and there’s a heating. I mean, look, it used to not be climate change. It used to be global warming. That wasn’t working too well because it was getting too cold all over the place.’ The American Meteorological Society has had enough of this kind of nonsense from the president, and in a letter sent to him this week, executive director of the American Meteorological Society Keith Seitter pointed the president to the government’s own data as a rebuttal to his most recent dismissal of climate change. Seitter wrote, speaking of Trump’s above mentioned comments to Morgan: ‘Unfortunately, these and other climate-related comments in the interview are not consistent with scientific observations from around the globe, nor with scientific conclusions based on these observations. U.S. Executive Branches such as NASA and NOAA have been central to developing these observations and assessing their implications.’ Officials in the Trump administration are clearly aware of the government-produced data related to climate change, considering the fact that there was a firestorm over the administration being believed to be moving to curb the collection — and even preservation — of that data. Interestingly, reports that the first weather satellite to be sent to space in the Trump era — first set to go up last fall — includes capabilities to measure climate change, but the Trump administration chose to stay away from publicizing that information. In other words, although the American Meteorological Society seems intent to perhaps assume the best and suggest that it’s a simple lack of info behind the president’s flubs, the reality is that he and his team just don’t seem to care. Seitter finished off his letter by asserting that he and his group stand “ready to provide assistance in connecting Executive Branch staff” with the climate change related “knowledge and expertise” required to effectively execute environmental policy in the modern era. Trump’s willing ignorance of the data that Seitter referenced stretches back through recent history and through his policy decisions as president. Last year, for instance, he moved to withdraw the United States from the Paris Climate Accord, that landmark agreement reached in the end of the Obama era setting standards for global action on climate change. More recently, the president mocked the idea of climate change on Twitter during a particularly brutal cold spell on the East Coast. Featured Image via  No related posts. " unreliable,"Obama Highlights Trump Failures At UN Climate Conference During a speech at the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference this Monday, former President Barack Obama went directly after the Trump administration for their recklessness regarding climate change-related issues — and Obama also laid out an optimistic vision for the future, based on both the ability of Americans to push through the Trump administration’s climate obstruction and the new era represented by the beginning of the Biden administration. The Biden team has already taken significant steps to turn back the environmental damage left by the Trump administration. For instance, they’ve begun the process to re-institute federal oversight over a broader array of U.S. waterways. The range of such waterways under federal supervision was shortened under Trump. Examples of the Trump administration’s malfeasance regarding environmental issues went on from there. At one point, Trump straightforwardly said that he simply did not believe a report on the looming impacts of climate change produced by his own administration. At the U.N. conference, Obama commented as follows: ‘Back in the United States, of course, some of our progress stalled when my successor decided to unilaterally pull out of the Paris agreement in his first year in office. I wasn’t real happy about that. And yet, the determination of our state and local governments, along with the regulations and investment that my administration had already put in place, allowed our country to keep moving forward, despite hostility from the White House.

Official Releases False Climate Info One official in the Interior Department Indur Goklany who was promoted to the office of the Deputy Secretary, led the movement to insert misleading language in a minimum of nine reports about climate change. These included environmental studies and impact statements on major watersheds in the American West. ‘The Interior Department’s scientific work is the basis for critical decisions about water and mineral rights affecting millions of Americans and hundreds of millions of acres of land.’ The principal research scientist at Harvard University’s Center for the Environment Samuel Myers said, according to ‘[It] takes very specific and isolated pieces of science, and tries to expand it in an extraordinarily misleading fashion.’ The U.S. Interior Department referred all of the questions to the Bureau of Reclamation. That is the office that controls the nation’s dams and water resources. It was the first to publish the language of: ‘Uncertainty is a part of climate modeling, as it is with all scientific modeling,” said Marlon Duke, the bureau’s acting public affairs chief. He said the bureau did not have a formal requirement to include specific language in any document, “but we strive to be fully transparent in recognizing and sharing appropriate uncertainties in the information we use to make decisions.’ Associate Professor of Paleoecology and Plant Ecology at the University of Maine Jacquelyn Gill said: ‘Highlighting uncertainty is consistent with the biggest attacks on the climate science community. They’re emphasizing discussions of uncertainty to the point where people feel as though we can’t actually make decisions” based on the research.’ Four former and current Interior Department officials noted that Goklany’s dramatic rise was immediate and completely “unexpected.” A former leading climate policy expert at the Interior Department, Joel Clement quit in 2017 and testified that the former Interior Secretary Ryan Zinka was on a scientist-purge. Now, Clement is a fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs. People were asking: ‘They were like, “Who the hell is this guy?”‘ Zinke denied all of the allegations. Deputy Secretary Goklany ordered “uncertainty language that the trail of emails say would be included in future studies of river basins:” The misleading references work to the advantages of greater levels of carbon dioxide, thus questioning widely-accepted scientific research. Still, Goklany wrote: “[T]hat CO2 may have increased the water use efficiency of plants globally.’ In early 2018, the trail of emails indicated that the bureau had already adopted a requirement about climate uncertainty.

" unreliable,"Climate Scientist Quits USDA In Protest After Reports Ignored By Trump The Trump administration insisted that all of the climate change scientists move from Washington, D.C. to Kansas City. They had a month to decide whether they would move or leave the government. There were no exceptions, not even for the person undergoing chemo treatment for cancer or the one trying to manage multiple sclerosis (MS). Then, this happened. A top climate change scientist turned in his resignation from the USDA (Agriculture Department) Agricultural Research Service after 20 years on the job. Lewis Ziska, 62,  was protesting the White House trying to bury vital information about rice nutrient loss as the amount of carbon dioxide rises in the atmosphere. This would impact 600 million people who use rice as the main source of calories. Ziska commented “that’s so sad,” according to ‘You get the sense that things have changed, that this is not a place for you to be exploring things that don’t agree with someone’s political views. That’s so sad. I can’t even begin to tell you how sad that is.’ The department released a statement that indicated a disagreement with career officials, not political appointees, regarding his rice study was why Ziska left: ‘This was a joint decision by ARS national program leaders — all career scientists — not to send out a press release on this paper.’ Ziska’s lab had to drop the term “global change” to provide some cover from the Trump administration. He said: ‘That was not something that had ever happened before.’ The scientist said that all of them knew that anything related to climate change was at risk: ‘We were careful. And then it got to the point where language started to change. No one wanted to say climate change, you would say climate uncertainty or you would say extreme events. Or you would use whatever euphemism was available to not draw attention.’ Ziska continued, noting that all of the scientists had been feeling the pressure: ‘There was a sense that if the science agreed with the politics, then the policymakers would consider it to be ‘good science,’ and if it didn’t agree with the politics, then it was something that was flawed and needed to be done again. That was a sea change in how we viewed our role. We’re not a political agency. Our goal is to deal, in a very pragmatic and very cost-effective way, with some of these issues.’ Then, he said he saw that the politicization of climate science risked the future of agriculture here and offshore: ‘You have farmers who are looking at climate and weather that they’ve not seen in their lifetimes. It’s not your father’s climate. It’s changing. What does that mean? Does it mean that I’m screwed, or does it mean I have an opportunity? … What does it mean in terms of soil health? What does it mean in terms of diseases or weeds that might be new to the area? This is a fundamental change across all different aspects. To ignore it. To just dismiss it and say ‘oh that’s political’ … I don’t have the words to describe that. It’s surreal. It feels like something out of a bad sci-fi movie.’ A USDA spokesperson noted that the department leaders simply disagreed with Ziska’s conclusion: ‘The concern was about nutritional claims, not anything relating to climate change or C02 levels. The nutrition program leaders at ARS disagreed with the implication in the paper that 600 million people are at risk of vitamin deficiency. They felt that the data do not support this.’ That was odd given that Ziska’s paper had already made it through the internal clearance processes within the USDA plus an in-depth peer review. It was days from publication. He thought something was wrong after he rebutted the points of concern, and there was no answer: ‘That’s when it occurred to me. This isn’t about the science. It’s about something else, but it’s not about the science. When that happened, I realized it’s not just a question of language,” he said. “It’s not just a question of philosophy. They’re saying we’re not going to support this work. And the reason that they’re not going to support the work is because the science doesn’t suit their — I don’t know what?Ideology?’ Harvard researches confirmed Ziska’s findings: ‘…rice loses vitamins in a carbon-rich environment and flagged concerns about how such a change could affect the health of hundreds of millions of people.’ The Mueller Report Adventures: In Bite-Sizes  on this  . These quick, two-minute reads interpret the report in normal English for busy people.  Mueller Bite-Sizes  uncovers what is essentially a compelling spy mystery.

" unreliable,"Pentagon Contradicts Trump In New Terrifying Climate Report - POTUS Wails Last year, stating that it wasn’t advantageous for the United States to remain a part of the accord, Trump pulled out of the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement. Despite the so-called “president’s” claims, and most ,  Andrew Wheeler, who during his confirmation hearing two days ago told Senator Bernie Sanders that he would not call climate change “the greatest crisis, no sir,” scientists continue to issue dire warnings to the contrary. And perhaps the most frightening report was this one. Watch: Trump would have us believe that this is all “fake news” but the Pentagon has released its own , going against what the “president” says, saying that climate change is not only a global threat but a threat to our national security. According to the report: ‘The effects of a changing climate are a national security issue with potential impacts to Department of Defense missions, operational plans, and installations.’ The Department of Defense said in a statement to HuffPost that the report delivers a “high-level assessment of the vulnerability of DOD installations.” Pentagon spokeswoman Heather Babb said by email: ‘DOD must be able to adapt current and future operations to address the impacts of a wide variety of threats and conditions, to include those from weather, climate and natural events. DOD will focus on ensuring it remains ready and able to adapt to a wide variety of threats ― regardless of the source ― to fulfill our mission to deter war and ensure our nation’s security.’ Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.), the ranking member on the Senate Armed Services Committee said on Friday: ‘President Trump’s climate change denial must not adversely impact the security environment where our troops live, work, and serve. Whether the Trump Administration wants to admit it or not, climate change is already costing the Department significant amounts of taxpayer resources and impacting military readiness.’ One thing is for certain: Trump needs to wake up and stop worrying so much about his “caravans” of scary brown people and start worrying about the real issues at hand that affect our national security.

" unreliable,"NBC Announces Banning Of Climate Deniers On LIVE Show & GOP Is Freaking On some issues, no debate is necessary, nor should it be entertained. Racism is wrong. Democracy is good. Taxes are necessary. Abuse is bad. Trump doesn’t know what he’s doing. And climate change is real . MSNBC’s Chuck Todd acknowledged this fact by devoting his entire Meet the Press show on Sunday to discussing climate change. The terrifying rate at which climate change is destroying our planet is a subject far too many want to shy away from. ‘This morning, we’re going to do something that we don’t often get to do: dive in on one topic…[climate change is] a literally earth-changing subject that doesn’t get talked about this thoroughly, at least on television news.’ After a lot of criticism for hosting a debate about climate change that included one denier, Todd decided that his show needed to take a different approach. On Sunday, it’s what he didn’t do, however, that mattered. ‘Just as important as what we are going to do is what we’re not going to do. We’re not going to debate climate change, the existence of it. The earth is getting hotter and human activity is a major cause, period. We’re not going to give time to climate deniers. The science is settled even if political opinion is not.’ . during a special climate edition of today: ""We're not going to debate climate change, the existence of it … We're not going to give time to climate deniers. The science is settled, even if political opinion is not"" — Alayna Treene (@alaynatreene) Todd hosted a panel of lawmakers and public figures who have been outspoken on climate change, but not whether or not climate change exists, whether it threatens our planet, or what the causes are. Michael Bloomberg, Gov. Jerry Brown, and Rep. Carlos Curbelo (R-FL) all agreed that no one (which includes the current president) should “confuse weather with climate,” nor should we continue to debate whether or not the phenomenon is happening. Curbelo, whose state is facing an underwater future with yearly floods and rising floodwaters, said: ‘We need to stop covering the debate and start covering the story so that people see that this is real, and so that politicians take a more pragmatic approach and find solutions that are actually achievable.’ Addressing climate change is an urgent challenge – and a great opportunity. I joined to discuss both. Watch now: — Mike Bloomberg (@MikeBloomberg) Governor Jerry Brown (D-CA), an active environmentalist who has spoken out on the need for reform to mitigate the effects of climate change, pointed out the disaster being made worse by President Trump. ‘[Trump] is very convinced of his position. And his position is that there’s nothing abnormal about the fires in California or the rising sea level or all the other incidents of climate change.’ Congratulations to Chuck Todd and Meet the Press for holding a serious discussion about climate change. Will this be a breakthrough moment for mainstream TV, which rarely discusses this issue? — Bernie Sanders (@SenSanders) It was an hour of real, honest discussions about the dangers that await us if we continue to ignore what’s happening without any of the ridiculous interjections of those who say they are not scientists, but still have a paid position on the subject.

" unreliable,"Popular Newspaper Releases 2018 Endorsements That Could Change Everything Running in one of the last states to hold their primary elections ahead of the midterms this November, Democrat Andrew Gillum won his party’s nomination to be Florida’s governor in a surprise upset. Despite sitting well behind opponent Gwen Graham in polls, he prevailed, inspiring those perhaps dissatisfied with a lack of progressive representation and also indicative, no doubt, of the surge in support of such representation. More voters cast a ballot in the 2018 Florida Democratic primary than had in a similar election in decades. That support has culminated into a major newspaper endorsement Gillum can now claim. The Miami Herald published a piece praising the Tallahassee mayor this weekend, casting him as the most sure candidate to fight for all Floridians — and even Florida itself, considering the ongoing threat of climate change. ‘Andrew Gillum is the best candidate to pull Florida back to the center, back to making sure the middle class and working class don’t continue to bear the brunt of Tallahassee’s misguided spending; back to acting on behalf of the Floridians denied health insurance by the current administration; back to putting public schools, which serve the majority of the state’s children, in the spotlight; back to being a leader in the fight against sea-level rise and the degradation of the environment.’ Meanwhile, the Herald noted, Republican opponent Ron DeSantis’ record on each of those issues is less than optimal. For instance, he has opposed the Affordable Care Act time and time again, supporting its repeal — a GOP effort that never came to fruition. Roughly nine percent of Floridians were recorded as maintaining an ACA health plan in 2017 — and should the Republican hoping to be their next governor have had his way, they’d have all been without insurance because of politics. There’s an extra issue in Florida too — the ACA’s Medicaid expansion. Under the current state of federal legislation, states can opt out of expanding Medicaid, and under eight years of Republican Rick Scott’s leadership, that’s exactly what Florida’s done. DeSantis would no doubt continue that, leaving the some 400,000 uninsured Floridians at-risk. Additionally, the Herald has no faith that DeSantis will change the Scott administration’s policy of supporting educational institutions like charter schools at the expense of public schools, an issue that has ironically enough gone national thanks to the ascent of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, who supports the same. The newspaper also highlights an issue that Florida remains on the front lines of — climate change. Although they do acknowledge that DeSantis has taken important steps like asserting an opposition to fracking, he has not, by and large, proven himself overly keen on ruthlessly protecting the environment. He’s just as likely to support Republican deregulation ideals, he’s proven in Congress. These issues sit in addition to some other, perhaps more “viral” ones. DeSantis, for instance, in the days following his Republican primary victory, called on Florida voters to not “monkey this up” by electing his opponent, who is black. Florida voters, meanwhile, seem to be listening to voices like the Herald . Gillum has led in poll after poll, registering as much as a 12 percent lead in a recent CNN undertaking.

" unreliable,"Biden’s Top Climate Official Rebukes Top Republican For Playing A ‘Game’ During Hearing During a hearing this week of a subcommittee of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Rep. Brian Mast (R-Fla.) — a Trump supporter and the top Republican on the subcommittee — got the chance to question John Kerry, who besides his past work as Secretary of State currently serves as a special presidential envoy for issues of climate change. Kerry’s work is broadly part of the State Department, evidently. One of Mast’s lines of questioning was about personnel on Kerry’s team, and the Florida Republican asked Kerry to name some key members of the office. Mast characterized Kerry as rebuffing him, but what the seasoned official was trying to communicate was that they’d follow ordinary procedures for staff disclosures. “Mr. Chairman, don’t just cut me off,” a frustrated Kerry said. “What I’m trying to do is tell you I’m going to follow the process of the State Department, which is normally followed. Where there are circumstances requiring that someone know who the person is, the State Department has complied and done that.” For one, it’s not that difficult to imagine that the emergence of identifying information for individuals in politically sensitive roles could help expose them to threats. Mast also asked Kerry whether he would be pursuing a U.S. commitment to cross-border carbon trading, which is a process facilitating, in short, a new level of accountability for industrial and other production done, well, outside the border in some given jurisdiction. A new framework in the European Union means importers will have to essentially pay — meaning, give money — for carbon emissions involved in operations behind the goods. They’ll have to purchase “certificates” and then surrender them accordingly. Kerry said committing the U.S. to such a system was an open question, but Mast and a staffer put down his answer as “yes.” “Well then you make this a game,” Kerry said. “If you’re turning that into yes when I didn’t say yes, you’re playing games, Mr. Chairman.” Mast seemed to find Kerry’s frustration amusing, mocking that they’d make a “maybe” option for the next time and make it yellow, in reference to traffic lights. Rep. Jason Crow (D-Colo.), who spoke after Mast, called the antics with the board where Mast outlined his questions “good theater, but it’s not good legislating, and it’s not necessary oversight, in my view.” Watch below: No related posts. " unreliable,"Ex-Prime Minister Schools Ron Johnson For His Arrogance In Senate Meeting During a recent hearing of the Senate Budget Committee, members heard from witnesses who notably included a former prime minister of Australia, Malcolm Turnbull. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.) is a member of that panel, and, well, his interactions with Turnbull — who was there to discuss climate change and its global impacts — went about as well as you’d expect, meaning poorly. Turnbull nonetheless managed to school Johnson on how so much of the world is actually against him on this issue. “Climate has always changed, always will,” Johnson asserted. “My viewpoint is, I don’t think there’s anything we can really do about it.” “There is no doubt that global temperatures have fluctuated and sea levels have fluctuated,” the witness said. “But there are now, what, eight billion people living on the planet, and the impact on humanity of runaway global warming will be devastating… With great respect Senator, it isn’t conjecture… You may be right and just about everyone else may be wrong, but the odds are that the trend, the momentum in the world is to renewable energy. Now the good news is, we can have clean electricity and cheaper electricity and greater national security.” Johnson, of course, wasn’t convinced, and he described efforts to impact the climate as having been largely a waste based in an ambition to accomplish something that’s supposedly not able to be done. Sure, the environment in the U.S. has become substantially cleaner in just recent decades as the federal government has poured its resources into fixing those problems, which can have an impact on the climate if what’s being fed into it is no longer so toxic and damaging, but Johnson didn’t acknowledge that. Instead, he focused on supposedly major problems with the approach of trying to stop whatever exactly it is that humanity has done over the past decades and few centuries with our economic expansion and industrialization — which it seems ludicrous to suggest hasn’t impacted the climate.

John Kennedy (R-La.), though he behaves with a veneer of respectability and “just asking questions,” acts essentially right in line with his Republican colleagues in terms of antagonizing witnesses of asking the same question over and over and over as the other individual tries to answer. During a recent Senate hearing, Kennedy targeted Richard Painter. Painter is a lawyer who once held a position in the presidential administration of George W. Bush, and the Louisiana Republican asked him in the Senate Budget Committee’s recent proceedings about past concern Painter had expressed regarding corruption at the U.S. Supreme Court. Stories have circulated about Justice Clarence Thomas enjoying massively pricey favors that went mostly undisclosed, despite the potential indicator inherent in those arrangements of a massive conflict of interest. “I did not think that Justice Clarence Thomas should be failing to disclose his trips on a billionaire’s yacht and airplane,” Painter said. “I believe that there is grave risk… to the confidence of the American people in our Supreme Court.” “The American people feel that way when we have Supreme Court Justices on yachts and in planes of billionaires and not being disclosed,” Painter said, as Kennedy relentlessly pestered him about whether he believed current members of the Supreme Court to be “bought.” “I will just say one thing that I learned in high school debate — that when you have no argument, you simply change the subject,” Painter observed, as Kennedy droned on and on about random tweets from the lawyer that were substantially unrelated to the topic of the proceedings, which was supposed to be climate change. Unsurprisingly, Kennedy just kept complaining about random posts on Twitter that Painter had made. Didn’t the Republicans supposedly like the concept of free speech?

Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) expertly dismantled the arguments underlying a proposal pushed by Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) but supported more generally by Republicans like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.). Though the proposed amendment to an underlying bill the final tally had opponents only narrowly winning. If approved by the House and later enacted, it would have mandated that certain rules relating to diversity, equity, and inclusion face a vote in Congress before their implementation. The measure was meant to amend a bill that would mandate such Congressional review of major rules — defined to mean those with certain large economic impacts, though the scope of that definition seems like it could jeopardize basic government action like steps to fight climate change. That connection could be made because of claimed costs to fossil fuel industries, failing to take into account the benefits both financial and social from advancements in clean energy technologies. Roy, who spoke in the House in favor of his amendment, mentioned initiatives like providing gender-affirming surgeries as something he’d want to further scrutinize. Gender-affirming care, including surgeries for those for whom such would be appropriate, is broadly backed by many major medical organizations, and it defies basic logic to suggest that all those organizations are engaged in some kind of conspiracy to pull a fast one on Americans. “America has a long history of discrimination, and efforts to include these historically marginalized groups should be celebrated and supported, not subjected to further scrutiny by Congress just because the majority disagrees with supporting these individuals,” Nadler told his colleagues. “May I remind you that we represent all the people, and amendments like this undermine our service to our constituents,” he added to listeners. “I would ask, why should we tell hospitals not to perform certain medical procedures? If gender-affirming surgery is necessary for the patient and the doctor says it is, why shouldn’t the VA hospital provide such surgery? We do not, I presume, want to say it is because we want to discriminate against transgender people, or we want to discriminate against gay or lesbian people. I hope that is not what we are saying, but that is what this amendment seems to do.” Nadler in other remarks on the House floor the other day how the underlying bill, with its mandated additional reviews of proposed regulatory measures, would make unsubstantiated assumptions, like that an economic assessment of certain proposals to the extent Republicans want is even reasonably possible. Elsewhere, figures like Greene have in very specific terms ranted against members of the LGBTQ+ community, making Nadler’s comments applicable even more broadly. No related posts.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), whose roles in the current Congress include leading that panel, recently signed onto a letter with other Republicans chairing committees, who together sought caches of materials from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg related to his criminal probe of Trump. Besides being potentially obstructive to the probe, the requests, if fulfilled, could expose investigative methods and witnesses to damaging and punitive scrutiny, besides other potential problems. A recently sent response from Bragg’s team noted how relevant legal precedents clearly delineate certain specifically local law enforcement powers for state officials like the New York prosecutor. Schiff remarked online that the committee Republicans had tried to “interfere” with a duly established investigation into the ex-POTUS. The California Democrat added that the outspoken Republican Party members were trying to subvert justice. Known in part for incessantly rapid-fire questions, Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH) has flailed about as a well-informed group of Democrats put the Chair’s nonsense to bed. Schiff also said that the House Republicans’ obstructive actions were indeed “shameful:” ‘House Republican efforts to interfere in the investigation of Trump are a blatant attempt to shield the former president from justice. That they are led by the Judiciary Committee is all the more shameful since that committee should be defending rule of law, not subverting it.’ Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who remains rather prominent, has been vocal about taking a group down to a jail where some who took part in the January 6 attack are held.

Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) called to arrest Alvin Bragg, the local district attorney in Manhattan who observers expect could soon bring a criminal case against Trump for falsification of business records. The Congresswoman’s tweet accused the district attorney of “hiding hundreds of pages of exculpatory evidence,” a notion that it seems originates at least in part with Robert Costello, a lawyer and ally to Trump who recently testified to the grand jury hearing evidence in Bragg’s probe. The woman who booed President Joe Biden from the House floor accused Bragg of pursuing “an innocent former President.” Note how Greene used the word “former.” That suggests even she did not believe the former president’s big lie that he was duly elected in 2020. The Georgia Congresswoman who was kicked off all her House committee assignments last term called for the DA to be held “accountable,” also dubiously claiming that DA Bragg was trying to “incite civil unrest.” But perhaps, the Congresswoman was simply trying to incite members of her own MAGA party into civil unrest — that is, the ones who are not in jail.

" unreliable,"Mitch McConnell & Wife Devastated After Wall St Journal Uncovers Financial Scandal Corruption inside the Trump administration continues to prove itself an epidemic, as official after official show themselves as not exactly prioritizing their government work over personal financial enrichment to the point of past precedent, including that set down by the law. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, who also served in the Bush administration and is the wife of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), to still have a financial stake in a construction materials company that she at one point pledged to give up more than a year ago. She’d served on Vulcan Materials Co.’s board for about two years, and she received deferred compensation for that work in the form of shares in the company in April 2018, which in the time since, have risen in value by nearly 13 percent, netting a gain of more than $40,000 for the Transportation Secretary. In 2017 before her confirmation, Chao said that she would receive a cash payout in April 2018 when the time came for her compensation from Vulcan Materials and not the financial stake in the company, which is now worth about $400,000. Former Office of Government Ethics Director Walter Shaub shared: ‘If you look at her ethics agreement, it provides for a complete disentanglement of her interest from Vulcan Materials, and that’s what was represented to the Senate. For the head of the DOT to have a financial interest in an asphalt company, that is not sending a message to employees of DOT that she is making ethics a priority.’ A Transportation Department spokesperson justified the change of plans by claiming that the original ethics agreement Chao signed was “flawed” because the “policy” at Vulcan was to pay out the stock, not cash. In other words, for Chao, that private corporate policy came before or at least at the same level of importance as an ethics agreement that she signed as part of negotiations with the United States Senate — not a good look, to put it lightly. Breaking with precedent, she’s recused herself from matters involving Vulcan, but she’s still reaping those financial benefits although the department’s top ethics official has reportedly determined that she’s not wielding an illegal conflict of interest under the apparent current arrangement. Chao has faced similar questions of possibly using her position for financial gain before. Earlier in her tenure, she appeared alongside her father in a number of interviews for Chinese-language media, including at the Transportation Department itself. They were speaking in light of a biography that had been completed chronicling her dad’s life, which the Chaos would receive no financial benefit from — but the problem is, Elaine’s father James owns a shipping company called the Foremost Group. The clear visible association of James Chao with the United States government via his daughter could have financial benefits for the company thanks to a credibility boost, which again blurs the previously set ethical lines that are supposed to mark the federal government. Chao is one of a number of Trump officials who’ve faced similar scrutiny; former Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke even had a matter referred to the Justice Department in which he could have been criminally liable for benefiting from a land with Halliburton deal back in his native Montana. It’s all part of a troubling trend. Featured Image via screenshot No related posts. " unreliable,"Trump Has 'Law & Order' Mega-Rant During Embarrassing New Interview President Donald Trump continues to flounder when confronted with the basic issues of his presidency. This week, an interview came out that the president did with Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, who is an online reactionary who’s made a name for himself out of being obnoxious. In the interview, Portnoy asked Trump what he might imagine as a potentially viable option for people to show their “displeasure” with the direction of the country. Trump suggested that — instead of taking a knee during the national anthem, which he’s previously complained about — those concerned about the direction of the nation could run for office. The problem is that protests aren’t only appropriate if they fall in line with Trump’s strict standards. After getting asked what forms of protest he thought might be worth pursuing, Trump told Portnoy: ‘Well, I mean, you could always run for office, right? You could become successful and run for a lower office… There are ways, you get groups together, and it can be very friendly ways of doing it, very successful… You have to go out… and speaking your mind is good, but you have to do it fairly. We are for justice, but we’re also for law and order.’ Watch some of his comments below: (PART 1) – I did not expect to interview at the White House yesterday but here we are — Dave Portnoy (@stoolpresidente) If Trump was actually for “law and order” in the most basic meaning of the term, then he would not have commuted the prison sentence of his longtime ally Roger Stone, who had been found guilty of an obstruction of justice scheme that had been meant, in part, to protect the president’s own campaign from scrutiny. Rather than promoting some kind of pseudomessianic version of “law and order,” Trump is seemingly trying to get Americans to get onboard with his vision of America in which those who face negative impacts from things like his policies just keep quiet if they don’t have the resources or opportunity to run for a political office. It’s amazing that after all this time, he’s still obsessed with complaining about those who take a knee during the national anthem as a form of peaceful protest. He is obsessed with appearances to the point of turning an almost completely blind eye to the fact that over 148,000 Americans have died from the Coronavirus, No related posts. " unreliable,"Obama Returns & Tweets Loving Message That Will Make Donald Rage Donald Trump is spending this Memorial Day in Japan, handing the Japanese his special menu, demanding a chair when all the others sat on floor pillows. Some unknown staffer put out a professional Memorial Day video through his Twitter feed. Instead of remembering those who have died during U.S. armed conflict, POTUS is playing around with the idea that he might take us to war with Iran, playing with the lives of young Americans as if they were toy soldiers. President Obama brought up back to what is real. The sitting president conned the military into five deferrals and thought people were stupid if they went to Vietnam. Someone else with far less money but far more courage went in his place. Memorial Day has always been the day when people can see evidence of Trump’s complete lack of compassion. Instead, we looked to President Barack Obama, a man who cried upon the news of a gunman blowing 20 little first-graders apart. Here is his message: ‘On Memorial Day, we remember all those who gave everything for something greater than themselves. It’s up to us to not simply reflect on their sacrifice but to honor it with service of our own—and by living out the values they fought for.’ President Obama’s message that these young soldiers died for American values struck a chord. Values have been so important to us throughout history, important enough to die for. Many of those who went, did not want to go to war, regardless of which generation they were, but they went. That was courage. Trump believed they were suckers, and he was smarter than them for getting out of it. That only works if a person has no values. A person without values has always been, at heart, a coward. The nation needs values. They make people right with the world and give them a sense of honor, of a life lived well. Values have always been the strong fabric of this country, and President Obama once again, showed us how. Twitter world caught fire. Check out some of our favorites below: No related posts. " unreliable,"Narrow House Majority Rallies To Defeat Anti-Diversity Proposal From MAGA Goons An amendment recently considered in the House that would have put initiatives oriented towards diversity, equity, and inclusion under requirements for special Congressional review , no matter the GOP majority that controls the chamber and the well-established GOP antagonism towards that inclusive approach. It’s also been targeted, for instance, in actions by GOP governors dealing with their state’s college systems. The final results had those in opposition only narrowly ahead, with 219 opposing and 217 in favor. A small number of Republican defections were sufficient to sink the proposal, with six Republicans voting “no” alongside most Democrats. As could be expected, those who were in favor included familiar names like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), who has established herself as a leading fighter in the GOP’s demented culture war crusades. The Republicans who voted against the proposal included a couple of first-term members from New York, including Anthony D’Esposito and Mike Lawler. A summary that the amendment would have affected seems to indicate that presidential moves involving certain features would flatly require Congressional approval before enactment, which could significantly curtail the ability of the executive branch to, well, do its job. The bill imposes its new review requirements on major rules, identified to include anything that would lead to “a major increase in costs or prices for consumers, individual industries, government agencies, or geographic regions.” (That’s from an official summary.) It’s easy to imagine Congress weaponizing this power to stop action against climate change, for one. After all, progress on that front has sometimes been framed by opponents as a death blow of sorts to those involved in fossil fuels. Though the underlying bill has passed the House, it seems entirely unlikely that it’ll actually go anywhere, considering Democrats still control the Senate.

" unreliable,"Biden Pledges To Block Dangerous Policy Agenda From House GOP A statement from the Biden team says the president is prepared to veto a proposal passed on Thursday by the GOP majority in the House that would provide a range of supports for the development of new initiatives in fossil fuel production across the United States, even including adding to oil and gas drilling opportunities across federal lands and waters. The president and Democrats in Congress have already undertaken their own ambitious maneuvers to support American energy, with backing for both the production and implementation of clean energy. On the implementation side, Democrats have made tax benefits available for transitioning to solar power, making improvements to energy efficiency in buildings, and acquiring vehicles running on clean power sources, besides also supporting the production of necessary equipment specifically in the U.S. The Biden team also outlined a structure for required environmental reviews associated with proposed infrastructure projects that, in a break with Trump’s approach, would specifically include considerations of the impacts in areas like climate change. Also considered per the Democrats’ approach would be indirect emissions and environmental justice. Among what led to concerns among Democrats about the proposal from Republicans were also billions of dollars in subsidies that would be evidently made available for companies potentially responsible for dangerous pollution, besides speeding up environmental reviews — and, according to Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.), the perspective of responsible parties themselves, meaning interests outside the government. “The Biden-Harris Administration is advancing an unparalleled expansion of American-made energy that will reduce costs, secure supply chains, and create good-paying jobs,” the president’s team said “The Administration has made dramatic progress in every area. Both oil and natural gas production in the United States are projected to reach record highs this year, the President has authorized the use of the Defense Production Act to strengthen our supply chains, and the Administration is making historic investments to deploy clean energy, accelerate permitting, and create jobs. The Administration wants to work in bipartisan manner with Congress to address lowering energy costs, permitting reform, and addressing energy challenges. However, H.R. 1 would take us backward.” It’s highly unlikely to get to Biden even needing to veto the measure, since Democrats are still controlling the Senate. No related posts. " unreliable,"Katie Porter Turns Tables On GOP Over Dangerous Environmental Proposal Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.) joined Democratic opposition in recent days to a sweeping legislative proposal from House Republicans that, if enacted, would expand chances for development in fossil fuels, even as much of the world tries to modernize its energy infrastructure to better account for and protect against serious — and in many cases already unfolding — dangers to the climate. In perhaps an easily predictable area of lawmaking interest for the GOP, the measure, known as H.R. 1, would allow further opportunities for oil and gas drilling on federal lands, hearkening back to Republican positions like oddly intense allegiance to gas stoves. The proposal would also speed up the process of environmental reviews for projects that could produce major pollution, an area of policy that the Biden administration itself already tried to address with its own updates to the rules from the Trump era that Democratic leaders, of course, tried to change to something more protective. The Trump admin had sought to undo federal looks at what have been termed cumulative environmental impacts, a category including climate change, but the current presidential team’s decisions such examinations. “H.R. 1, the Polluters Over People Act, gives billions of dollars in taxpayer-funded subsidies to Big Oil and Gas,” Porter said. “It would let fossil fuel companies hoard thousands of unused leases, require the authorization of drilling on federally protected lands, give unilateral authority to corporations to create their own environmental impact statements, and force taxpayers to pay to clean up hazardous mining waste. Congress should be doing the right thing by looking at reforms that protect taxpayers when approving energy projects… We can and should enact permitting reform that protects American taxpayers… To my colleagues across the aisle, you have an opportunity to prove to your constituents back home that you are putting them over polluters.” Porter discussed an amendment that would help shore up an assurance of actual benefits to residents and those affected. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), the former House Speaker who despite leaving her post in Democratic leadership in the chamber retains her seat, , using even moral arguments about the urgency of, in a religious sense, caring for “God’s creation” and also simply helping provide protected and safe environmental and climatological surroundings for future generations. The GOP push mirrors past policy hopes from their corner, with Trump’s team having sought to provide opportunities when assessments of environmental impact weren’t even performed. On the flip side, Democratic ambitions around the implementation of these reviews have also focused on indirect emissions and environmental justice, which would include rectifying inequalities reflected environmentally. Many communities have been uniquely impacted by pollution and environmental dangers, so actively leveling the metaphorical playing field undoes injustices.

Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), the former House Speaker who despite leaving party leadership in the chamber still holds her seat, was among those speaking out in recent days against a sweeping energy package from Republicans in the House that would help open up opportunities for development in fossil fuels, even as climate conditions remain precarious. Among the elements of the legislative proposal about which Democrats were concerned were subsidies that were to be made available to companies potentially responsible for serious pollution. Other elements included increased opportunities for such development on federal lands and an expansion to the availability of “fast-tracked” environmental reviews, the processes under legislative consideration. The Biden administration on the implementation of the same piece of federal law, known as the National Environmental Policy Act, targeted by parts of Republicans’ proposal. The White House’s moves, of course, went the other direction, outlining guidelines for environmental reviews by which long-term impacts in areas like climate change would be included in relevant considerations. “When we enacted the inflation reduction law, our nation took a landmark step to rescue our planet,” Pelosi said. “But our progress stands in stark contrast to the reckless Republican bill before us, which on every score puts polluters first. We know that climate is a health issue… When Democrats are slashing pollution to preserve clean air and water, this bill guts bedrock health protections to fast-track polluter projects. Climate is an economic issue. While Democrats are creating jobs and lowering energy costs, this bill gives $2.4 billion in handouts to the biggest polluters.” Pelosi also referenced how continued dependence on fossil fuels could lead to vulnerability on the part of the U.S. to “oil-rich dictators.” “It’s God’s creation!” Pelosi continued. “We’re religious people here in this body, right?.. Don’t we have a responsibility to be good stewards of God’s creation?” Well, we know the tendency from many Republicans. No matter a brief surge in claimed environmental interest after the derailment of a train in Ohio carrying potentially dangerous chemicals, when Republicans felt they could use the situation as metaphorical political ammo against the Biden team, deregulation as an overriding approach is consistently pushed from Republicans. The proposal Pelosi was criticizing is highly unlikely to be made law with Democrats controlling the Senate and Biden serving as president.

" unreliable,"Pete Buttigieg Fact-Checks Mitch McConnell Into Oblivion For Lying About Biden During an interview on CNN, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg addressed still more of the petulant criticism from Republicans that’s emerged in the aftermath of the recent derailment of a train in Ohio that was carrying potentially hazardous chemicals. Although federal personnel quickly responded to the scene and began carrying out extensive response efforts, like testing the air inside hundreds of local residences, Republicans have leaped at the opportunity to use what happened in Ohio as a political cudgel. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) even called for Buttigieg to exit his post, although Rubio himself previously joined those supporting the idea of using automated data collection in place of some visual inspections of train tracks, despite the unique benefits no doubt associated with people actually looking at the infrastructure. Elsewhere, Republicans on the House Oversight Committee pushed Buttigieg for materials on the response to the wreck by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB)… of the Department of Transportation. Among those Republicans were prominent names like Jim Jordan and Lauren Boebert. This time, Buttigieg was speaking on CNN about recent complaints from Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who remains leader of the Republicans in the Senate. McConnell moped about Buttigieg supposedly overly focusing on so-called woke initiatives, whatever that even means. Those upset about things they call “woke” often seem to use the phrasing more than those they’re accusing of adherence to the idea. “Well, first of all, Leader McConnell was there celebrating the replacement of the Brent Spence Bridge, a major infrastructure project that we are funding in his state,” Buttigieg observed this week on CNN. “I would not call the Brent Spence Bridge a ‘woke initiative.’ As for climate, climate is not nonsense. Dealing with climate change is one of the biggest things that people like me and people like him will be remembered for after we’re gone. And third, he is the caucus leader in the Senate. He could be a partner to us right now in making sure that there are fewer rail disasters in the future.” Buttigieg has also already helped promote policy proposals like rules expanding staffing on trains and increasing the fines federal authorities are allowed to impose on railway companies. A recent release from his department also pushed the idea of Congress speeding up the implementation of updated tank cars for hazardous materials. On the flip side, Republicans like Trump himself have often promoted the idea of deregulation, and it was once he took office a rule for updated brakes on certain trains was officially done away with. Check out Buttigieg’s comments below: Pete Buttigieg on Mitch McConnell's criticisms: ""First of all, Leader McConnell was there celebrating the replacement of the Brent Spence Bridge, a major infrastructure project that we are funding in his state.

" unreliable,"Majority Of U.S. Ditches GOP On Decisive Issues In Pre-2024 Survey reported on by Fox News and conducted by a team who routinely does surveys for the media giant shows Americans going with the Democrats on a slew of key issues when asked which party they trust to better handle the topics. No matter Republicans’ efforts to turn what’s taught in school into an area in which the GOP dominates, more Americans picked Democrats than Republicans on school curriculum, although it was closer there. A full 49 percent opted for the Democrats when asked about curriculum in specifically public schools, while Republicans had 44 percent. On other issues, Democratic leads were much larger, reaching 20 percent or higher on abortion, Medicare, health care, and climate change. The lead on climate change was nearly 30 percent, with Democrats nabbing 61 percent of the support to Republicans’ 33 percent. With Americans facing climate disasters around the country, these circumstances may be putting the unpromising politics of the GOP into sharper relief. Republicans led on some issues, finishing 15 percent ahead of Dems on the economy — a rather broad category, if we’re being honest. The evidence is there, though, that positive economic signs have been seen throughout the U.S. while Joe Biden remains in charge. New claims for unemployment are low, coasting at levels below 200,000 a week throughout recent periods of February, and the Biden administration has embarked on a variety of initiatives to support segments of the domestic economy in very direct terms, whether that’s through the work backed up by the president’s widely touted bill doling out money for infrastructure or another bill that provided support for the production of critical technological components in the United States. In the Inflation Reduction Act, there were also benefits made available for clean energy industries in the United States, among other things, like expansions to the subsidies available for Americans getting health coverage through the Marketplace established by the Affordable Care Act. Democrats also tried to enact tax changes like eliminating some of the loophole provisions by which people making certain income in private equity could evade steeper tax bills, but Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), whose vote was needed for passing anything, opposed that prospect. Elsewhere, despite Trump predictably remaining exuberant about his supposed prospects in the 2024 race, polling actually shows a mixed picture, with Biden sometimes in the lead. It’s also not a given that Trump will actually win the Republican nomination, considering news like the recent polling in California that showed Florida GOP Governor Ron DeSantis, who might decide to run, in a one-on-one contest.

" unreliable,"Kevin McCarthy's Constituents Turn Against Him After Chaos As communities in the California region that’s home to House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy’s district face water that sometimes literally runs out in connection to wells and an overall local water supply put under immense strain, documents how local residents haven’t seen much of any comprehensive assistance from the Republican Congressman. Jessi Snyder, who works at the nonprofit organization Self-Help Enterprises and has been involved in transporting water to those going without, bluntly told CNN in reference to the legislator: “In my experience, he has never engaged with us on any of these kinds of emergencies.” McCarthy has been involved in some legislative action on the issue — some of which hasn’t gone anywhere, like a grant program that would help struggling, small communities with connecting to the water supplies of jurisdictions with better access. Yet, he has resisted key initiatives, like the sweeping deal for spending on infrastructure that Biden signed into law earlier in his tenure and the Inflation Reduction Act, which contained numerous provisions to deal with climate change. Tami McVay, who is also with Self-Help Enterprises, also spoke to the difficulties in obtaining help from McCarthy. She said discussions with McCarthy’s team about residential wells going dry are “slim to none, and I am not saying that to discredit them at all.” California Democratic state Sen. Melissa Hurtado, who it seems is among the multiple current and former legislators more engaged with this than McCarthy, also addressed the problem to CNN, saying: “He’s focused on that leadership position instead of actually working on issues to address the impacts of his district… Quietly, the word out there is it’s been a while that he’s actually delivered something for the region, given his focus on the leadership position. Maybe that’s part of his greater vision for helping this region out.” Susana De Anda, who leads the nonprofit organization Community Water Center, criticized McCarthy’s basic competence. “We need more solutions beyond storage and dams,” she said. “[McCarthy] lacks understanding of the real critical problems we’re experiencing around the drought and our communities.” She was also critical of the lack of focus on the basic reality of the climate crisis among legislative leaders, a group including McCarthy. CNN provides expansive coverage of the situation Now that McCarthy was eventually able to become House Speaker, it’s unclear the next roughly two years of Republican leadership in the House will mean much in terms of actual policy. Democrats are still in the majority in the Senate, and among Republicans, there remains a lot of partisan infighting. Although a lot of these people obviously might be prone to talk a big game and then… nothing, a group of House Republicans pledged to blindly oppose legislative priorities from Senate Republicans who voted for the government spending deal keeping the rhetorical lights on for this fiscal year. The deal passed and was made law — although not before McCarthy himself expressed support for that idea of blocking fellow Republicans’ ambitions. No related posts. " unreliable,"Biden Undoes Trump's Sabotage Of US Environmental Policy The Biden administration from decisions in the Trump era on the implementation of the National Environmental Policy Act that if allowed to stand would have allowed federal regulators to ignore the impacts on climate change of proposed infrastructure projects under review. As could be expected, Biden’s team is undoing that decision. “CEQ’s new climate change guidance recommends that agencies account for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in NEPA reviews,” in a press release from the White House Council on Environmental Quality, and further details specifically push for using those calculations in assessing the climate change impacts. The guidance itself recommends “that agencies use projected GHG emissions associated with proposed actions and their reasonable alternatives to help assess potential climate change effects.” The Trump administration’s decisions included undoing guidance issued towards the end of the Obama era on implementing these rules, and these measures from the Biden team replace those 2016 measures, per that White House council. The Biden team’s guidance features an emphasis on efficiency, including with what that release called a “rule of reason” in assessing a proposed project’s impacts. The initiative also proves ambitious, “clarifying the need to quantify indirect emissions, which will help projects avoid legal setbacks and provide transparency to help drive climate-smart decisions,” the council said. Previously, the Trump administration had moved to undo the need for federal agencies to consider what were specifically termed cumulative environmental impacts, including climate change-related. Another key facet of the underlying law is involvement by the public. The Trump team’s moves limited the opportunity for public comment on infrastructure projects under consideration, implementing a presumably connected deadline of between one and two years for authorities to complete environmental reviews. “The rule will also allow agencies to develop categories of activities that do not require an environmental assessment at all,” reported of the Trump admin’s planned moves, further sketching out the dramatic extent to which the then-president’s team was seeking to roll back opportunities for environmental protection. In contrast, the Biden admin’s new guidance for implementing these underlying review requirements pushes for engagement with communities and consideration of environmental justice concerns, which would include something like specially protecting a community previously subject to extreme levels of pollution.

" unreliable,"Democrats Flip Control Of Local GOP Control After 50 Year Run Democrats of the county board in the southern California jurisdiction Orange County, nabbing a majority for the first time since the late 1970s — ending a nearly 50-year GOP hold on the board. The county has a huge budget reaching a reported $8.8 billion, meaning that the new Democratic majority can exert significant control over county policy, with over 3 million residents across the county. “With a Democratic majority, we can help improve public health in areas that have been neglected,” Ada Briceño, who serves as county Democratic Party chair, said. “We can address the unhoused in a better, more compassionate way.” The county government has been the target of litigation over its treatment of homeless people, as recapped by the Los Angeles Times. The publication also notes the previously GOP-led board was repeatedly at odds with state authorities over restrictions implemented in response to the outbreak of COVID-19. It wasn’t a given the newly victorious Democratic majority would win. In the critical race, which was the only board contest on the ballot this fall in which a Dem was facing a Republican, Democratic incumbent Katrina Foley beat back her GOP opposition (a state Senator) by a margin of about two percent in a race with hundreds of thousands of votes cast overall, and in that district, registered Republicans even apparently slightly outnumber Dems by a margin in the low single digits. Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.), who recently won re-election by a little over three percent, also represents portions of the county. Foley brought up climate change in discussing her thoughts for the path ahead in light of the Dem success. “My office began the county’s first Climate Action plan,” she said. “But now there will be strong support for moving forward in a more aggressive and comprehensive way. We’re one of the few counties of our size and of our connection to the coast that has not done enough work in this area.” Across the county as a whole, registered Democrats now outnumber Republicans. In the 2016 presidential race, Hillary Clinton’s margin of victory in Orange County was over 20 percentage points smaller than her margin across the state as a whole, hitting the single digits. Back in the present, Democrats also scored significant victories in the midterm elections at the level of state government, nabbing unified control of the state legislature and governorship in four additional states (although the party lost its control in Nevada).

" unreliable,"Poll Shows Ron Johnson Losing To Democrat Challenger In Wisconsin A newly available conducted by Clarity Campaign Labs for Wisconsin Democratic Senate pick Mandela Barnes found the Democratic contender two percent ahead of incumbent Republican Ron Johnson among overall likely voters — and, as the organization highlighted, 17 percent ahead among independents. Polling in Wisconsin has shown a close race, with other recent surveys finding Johnson in the lead. Final results in Wisconsin might not be available right away, because authorities there are required to wait until Election Day itself to start processing ballots, according to information from the National Conference of State Legislatures. That’s not the case elsewhere. In Florida, for instance, authorities can both process and count ballots before Election Day, meaning more comprehensive results could be more quickly available in that state. Arizona and Nevada are also in Florida’s category, and in all three states, highly watched Senate races are going before voters this year, so the beginnings of an idea of the outcome of the race for Senate control could take shape quickly on election night. In Georgia, another state with a closely watched Senate race, authorities can process — but not count — ballots before Election Day. Nationwide, tens of millions of people have already voted, although it obviously remains to be seen how large of a share of the final vote that early voters comprise. Across multiple metrics, early voters in this year’s elections have already surpassed levels seen in 2018. Per data from the political analytics firm TargetSmart, 2022 early voters already passed 19 percent of the total votes cast nationally in the 2018 midterms. In Wisconsin, some 343,000 ballots have been cast. Barnes appears to have passed Johnson — by a lot — in fundraising totals for the final stretch of this election cycle. From October 1 to October 19, Johnson raised $2.5 million in contributions from individuals. Barnes, meanwhile, hit $8.1 million in the same category. Johnson was ahead in cash on hand, meaning available funds, at the close of the reporting period, suggesting a lot of spending by the Barnes campaign. As previously reported here, Johnson on numerous fronts, including his denial of the reality of climate change, dismissal of the truth of the riot at the Capitol, promotion of unhinged conspiracy theories about COVID-19 including imaginary “internment” camps, and advocacy for pieces of tax reform that would benefit highly wealthy families including donors of his. He’s also wanted to make Medicare and Social Security subject to annual budget negotiations in Congress, potentially imperiling their funding amid yearly inter-party financial fights. Johnson also helped facilitate the spread of long discredited conspiracy theories about the last election with a hearing at the Senate Homeland Security Committee, where he then served as chair.

" unreliable,"Pete Buttigieg Rips Ron Johnson For Enabling Extremism Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who is no stranger to the campaign trail considering his 2020 run for president, joined an event promoting Wisconsin Democratic Senate candidate Mandela Barnes this week. Barnes is running against Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.), and surveys indicate a close race. Johnson has faced criticism for downplaying the reality of last year’s Trump-incited Capitol riot, including that the crowd was armed, dismissing the basic facts of climate change, promoting the idea of making Medicare and Social Security subject to annual budget negotiations in Congress, thereby potentially imperiling the programs’ funding amid partisan infighting, and spreading dangerous propaganda about COVID-19. He has held himself out as supposedly unvaccinated and once claimed authorities elsewhere in the world were establishing internment camps for those who refused the vaccine. That’s not true. Well-stocked Australian facilities for two-week stays in isolation for residents returning from outside of the country weren’t internment camps, by any means. “We’re not talking about what we used to think of as normal Republicans, not when it comes to somebody like Ron Johnson,” Buttigieg said. “We’re talking about a fork in the road over what kind of country we’re going to be. It used to be plain as day that if nothing else we could all agree what a democracy was.” Johnson has also faced push-back for promoting a change to tax rules that stood to benefit wealthy donors. As then-chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, Johnson also led a hearing after the 2020 presidential election for airing false claims about the presidential race. Buttigieg also discussed the attack on Paul Pelosi, the husband of House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). An apparently Trump-aligned attacker broke into a California home of the Pelosis and struck Paul with a hammer, looking for the House Speaker. Trump has specifically named Paul in some of his angry, public rhetoric, and he and other Republicans have obviously long isolated Nancy for harsh criticism. She was also personally targeted during last year’s Capitol violence. One member of the mob who spoke after investigators found him of wanting to find Nancy — and seemed to suggest, although not explicitly, he wanted to use one of his loaded guns on her — was recently sentenced to five years in prison. “Public figures should always be free from violence, harassment, and intimidation,” Buttigieg remarked Friday. “That’s even more importantly true for their families. Wishing Speaker Pelosi and the entire family well, and a speedy recovery to Paul Pelosi.” Paul went into surgery but is expected to make a recovery. . : ""We're not talking about what we used to think of as normal Republicans, not when it comes to somebody like Sen.

" unreliable,"Presidnet Obama Makes Fun Of Herschel Walker In a speech delivered this week in Georgia, former President Barack Obama ripped into the prospect of GOP Senate pick Herschel Walker, a former football star and serial liar about elements of his personal experience, serving as U.S. Senator. Walker is running against Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.), who has a long career in public service as pastor of an Atlanta church associated with Martin Luther King, Jr., and is in the middle of his first, two-year stint in the Senate. If successful, Warnock would secure a full term of six years, since at present, he’s serving the final two years of the last term of a prior Senator who retired and subsequently died. Warnock’s presence in the Senate has proven critical to securing key items on the Democratic agenda, like the Inflation Reduction Act, which contained what was billed as the largest single investment into fighting climate change by the U.S. government ever. Walker has faced questions about his basic competency. He’s sought to characterize himself as a police officer or at least as having worked in law enforcement, despite the fact there’s no indication he has actually served as an officer, and he has spoken of a so-called military career that in reality is just speaking engagements. He has claimed to have led the largest upholstery company in the U.S. and biggest minority-owned food business in the country, neither of which were true. He claimed earlier this year to still be in the upholstery business, but two options for the entity to which he was trying to refer were already defunct when he made those claims, and no evidence indicates Walker was involved in the founding or primary ownership of either. “Everyone can make fun, but this badge gives me the right… if anything happened in this county, I have the right to work with the police in getting things done,” in response to criticism over his law enforcement claims. If you think about it, anybody can “work with the police,” depending on circumstances. There’s no indication his status is special. Former DeKalb County district attorney J. Tom Morgan explained earlier this year that the status of “honorary deputy,” which the Walker campaign pointed to the candidate ostensibly holding in Cobb County, “absolutely means nothing” and is “the equivalent of a junior ranger badge.” “Some of you may not remember, but Herschel Walker was a heck of a football player,” Obama remarked to the crowd. “In college, he was amazing. One of the best running backs of all time. But here’s the question. Does that make him the best person to represent you in the U.S. Senate? Does that make him equipped to weigh in on the critical decisions about our economy and our foreign policy and our future? Let’s do a thought experiment. Let’s say you’re at the airport, and you see Mr. Walker. And you say, ‘Hey, there’s Herschel Walker! Heisman winner! Let’s have him fly the plane!’ You probably wouldn’t say that! You’d want to know, does he know how to fly an airplane?” The former president also shared humorous examples about having Walker work as a surgeon or welcoming the ex-commander-in-chief himself to a football team — both of which, Obama noted, wouldn’t work. Polling in Georgia remains close. Check out Obama’s remarks below: Obama: ""Some of you may not remember, but Herschel Walker was a heck of a football player… does that make him the best person to represent you?… let's say you're at the airport & you see Walker & you say, Hey, there's Herschel, Heisman winner.

" unreliable,"Protestors Clown On Ted Cruz During Live Appearance On' The View' During a portion of an interview this week on The View with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) in which the wildly unpopular Texas legislator was blaming inflation on high levels of government spending (which is obviously a short-sighted oversimplification), protesters began chanting from the crowd. “Vote for climate now!” they said. Although their message sounded geared towards public figures and everyday Americans other than just Cruz, the Senator himself also voted against a recently enacted piece of legislation called the Inflation Reduction Act, which contained what was billed as the largest single investment by the U.S. government into fighting climate change in history. The bill contained “nearly $400 billion over 10 years in tax credits aimed at steering consumers to electric vehicles and prodding electric utilities toward renewable energy sources like wind or solar power,” The New York Times.  Separately, the bill also included improvements in healthcare access and affordability, like allowing Medicare to negotiate the prices of prescription drugs and capping yearly expenses for prescriptions paid by those on Medicare at $2,000. Cruz has also opposed other major legislative initiatives passed in the Senate in this Congress, including the bipartisan gun policy reform bill and the infrastructure package. What’s he even doing these days beyond posting antagonistically on social media? Cruz also faced jeers at a Sunday baseball game in New York City, where the New York Yankees faced the Houston Astros. A photo from an exec at Vice News shows members of the crowd lifting their middle fingers at him, while footage of the Senator walking through the stadium features bystanders “Fuck you, you racist piece of shit!” one fan shouted. Cruz has repeatedly gotten into arguments with individuals raising even the slightest bit of objection to him or his policies, although at the game, he seemingly stayed at least mostly quiet. At an event in Texas put on by The Texas Tribune , he began vehemently challenging members of the audience who spoke against his stance on gun policy. He claimed at the event his proposal for additional law enforcement and mental health personnel at schools was fitting in part since the Uvalde shooter supposedly got into the school and began firing before police arrived. Available info suggests that’s not true. Cruz has also gotten into arguments at a restaurant and on an airplane following Uvalde. He often seems suspiciously eager to start antagonizing people. If he can’t take even mild criticism, why is he a Senator or in elected office? Check out the protesters at The View,  where the co-hosts weren’t thrilled, in footage below: The protesters at The View once again start shouting from the crowd as the segment goes to break.

" unreliable,"Obama Rallies America To Elect Democrats & Save Democracy Former President Barack Obama recently recorded ads for Democratic Senate candidates in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. In Pennsylvania, Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman is running against Trump-backed Republican challenger Mehmet Oz, aka Dr. Oz, while in Wisconsin, Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes is challenging Sen. Ron Johnson (R) in the latter’s race for re-election. Polling in both races has shown close contests, although Fetterman has done better overall. With the Senate currently split 50-50 and Democrats only in control because of Vice President Kamala Harris’s role as a tiebreaker, every race, at least among those generally considered competitive, could make the critical difference in deciding who controls the chamber. In ads for both Fetterman and Barnes, Obama mentioned abortion rights — an area of concern obviously at the front of a lot of people’s considerations since the U.S. Supreme Court undid Roe v. Wade , which had previously established the national legal framework for abortion rights. Now, it’s up to state officials (and if they so decide, members of Congress) to decide on access to abortion. “So when the fate of our democracy and a woman’s right to choose are on the line, I know John will fight for Pennsylvanians,” Obama said in a Fetterman ad. “You can count on John Fetterman. Make sure he can count on you. Vote Democrat on November 8.” That ad lasts 30 seconds and is apparently slated to run across Pennsylvania, where Biden won in the 2020 presidential race and where the state’s other Senator and outgoing governor are already Dems. In every public poll cataloged by FiveThirtyEight since the general election season began in Pennsylvania, Fetterman has led Oz, a multiple mansion-owning, accidentally Hitler’s car-promoting, sister’s head-stabbing, anti-Armenian activism-tied dog-killer who until recently lived in another state. The activism was by associates. Other small animals also died in connection to medical research Oz did, and that research sometimes saw the creatures dying under startlingly cruel circumstances. In Wisconsin, Johnson is facing criticism on multiple fronts, including his denial of the reality of climate change, dismissal of the truth of the riot at the Capitol, promotion of unhinged conspiracy theories about COVID-19 including imaginary “internment” camps, and advocacy for pieces of tax reform that would benefit highly wealthy families including donors of his. He also wanted to make Medicare and Social Security subject to annual budget negotiations in Congress, potentially imperiling their funding amid yearly inter-party financial fights. “Now he’s focused on solutions that will make a difference,” Obama said of Barnes. “Like making more things here in Wisconsin, cutting taxes for the middle class, and protecting a woman’s right to choose.” Johnson has expressed support for making decisions about abortion at the state level, but if he wins re-election, he could change his stance and back federal restrictions. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) already introduced a 15-week abortion ban at the federal level. During a recent debate, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), who is running for re-election and backed the Graham push, wouldn’t even say whether he would support abortion restrictions with no exceptions — leaving the possibility troublingly open-ended.

" unreliable,"Vindman Asks America To Save Democracy By Electing Democrats On Monday, ret. Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman took to Twitter to encourage his followers to support Democrats in this year’s midterm elections. As he outlined the situation, Republicans are likely to use further Congressional control they might gain for pointless and damaging partisan exercises, like investigating Hunter Biden — something that, even maintaining impartiality and treating both sides equally, there’s no indication Congress needs to address. Other investigators are already dealing with it, and Hunter isn’t involved in his father’s presidential administration or running for office, meaning political ramifications are slim. “Thinking of voting for the GOP… they might help with inflation. They won’t,” Vindman those potentially entertaining the idea of voting for Republicans. “They have no policy solution… will engage in partisan investigation, block legislation in Congress, & set conditions for [Trump’s] return. Dem control will move legislation & protect your rights! Simple!!!” Thinking of voting for the GOP… they might help with inflation. They won’t. They have no policy solution… will engage in partisan investigation, block legislation in Congress, & set conditions for Trumps return. Dem control will move legislation & protect your rights! Simple!!! — Alexander S. Vindman (@AVindman) Even at present, Republicans ignore a lot of the relevant factors in discussing inflation and economic issues. What about targeting the energy companies using the opportunity provided by precarious geopolitical conditions to jack up prices? What about the efforts in which the Biden team and Democrats have already engaged to try and bring down costs? When a bill supporting the U.S. manufacture of a widely used technological component called semiconductor chips came before the House, Republican leaders ended up encouraging GOP’ers in the chamber to vote against it as for the emergence of the Inflation Reduction Act in the Senate. The latter bill, a budget reconciliation package (meaning no Senate GOP votes were needed), contained wide-ranging policies boosting the fight against climate change, bringing down healthcare costs, and more. Most House Republicans voted against the chips bill, with just two dozen from among over 200 in support. That’s the party’s legislative record. Polling suggests the race to control the House and Senate could be close. FiveThirtyEight, an elections data and analysis site, estimates Democrats have a better chance of holding the Senate while Republicans lead in the race for controlling the House. The latter scenario could mean Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), whose guiding principles seem like whatever Donald Trump says they are, could become the House Speaker. No related posts. " unreliable,"Democrat Defeats Ron Johnson In Latest Wisconsin Senate Poll Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.) is losing to Democratic challenger and current Wisconsin Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes in a new poll evidently conducted on behalf of the Barnes campaign. The survey Clarity Campaign Labs and found Barnes leading by one percent. Polling has consistently shown Barnes and Johnson within single digits, and with just weeks until Election Day, surveys don’t always show the same leader. Two recent surveys found Barnes and Johnson tied among certain groups of voters. The new poll, which reflects the opinions of likely voters, saw the Democratic contender with 48 percent of the support and Johnson with 47 percent. Biden won Wisconsin in the 2020 presidential election, and the state’s other Senator and current governor (the latter of whom is also running for re-election) are Democrats, so there’s clearly a recent precedent for a candidate such as Barnes prevailing. He and Johnson recently faced each other for a second debate, where members of the crowd booed Johnson after he used a question designed for a simple moment of interpersonal respect to attack Barnes. The question covered what each candidate found admirable about the other. When asked, Barnes pointed to Johnson’s support for his family, and Johnson initially also mentioned Barnes’s family, before devolving into a partisan screed. “I guess what puzzles me about that is with that upbringing, why has he turned against America?” Johnson . In any reasonably objective sense, Barnes obviously isn’t now “against America,” whatever that would even mean. Recently, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel from its editorial board tearing into Johnson’s record, including his denial of the reality of climate change, efforts to downplay what happened at the Capitol during last year’s Trump-incited riot, and propagation of nonsensical conspiracy theories about COVID-19, including that certain authorities elsewhere in the world were placing those unvaccinated against the virus into internment camps. The Senator’s team pointed journalists to facilities for two-week stints in isolation established by the Australian government serving residents returning from trips outside of the country — which doesn’t remotely constitute “internment.” Other points of the publication’s contentions with the Senator and his record included his proposals for making Medicare and Social Security subject to annual budget negotiations in Congress, which could obviously jeopardize the longevity of both programs depending on what those then in office decide. He also pushed for tax changes that provided major benefits to very wealthy families including multiple top donors of his. Abortion rights are also at stake. Johnson has spoken of support for making decisions about access to the procedure at the state level, but once no longer facing the pressures of re-election, he could support a 15-week abortion ban recently proposed at the federal government level by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.). There’s nothing stopping him. During their first debate, Barnes criticized Johnson for essentially just dismissing concerns about abortion restrictions in Wisconsin, which, like elsewhere, could affect millions following the overturning of Roe v. Wade . No related posts. " unreliable,"Ron Johnson Publicly Abandoned By Home-State Newspaper at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is through with Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.), who is running for re-election this November against Democratic challenger and current Wisconsin Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes. The paper published a new editorial this week comprehensively outlining actions by which Johnson has essentially failed the state’s residents, as the board summarized it. Some of Johnson’s issues include incessantly promoting misinformation related to COVID-19. He even claimed during an interview last year that certain authorities elsewhere in the world were placing people who weren’t vaccinated against COVID-19 into “internment camps,” which is ridiculous. Johnson’s team pointed reporters to facilities established by Australian authorities for two-week isolation stints for travelers from outside the country returning to their Australia homes. Such an arrangement doesn’t constitute an internment camp in any remotely reasonable sense of the idea. Johnson has also denied the basic reality of climate change as recently as last year, when he evidently referred to the well-established scientific fact as “bullshit,” and additionally, he has misrepresented the basic reality of last year’s Trump-incited mob attack on the Capitol. He has specifically contested referring to what happened as an armed insurrection, although people involved in it and present at the Capitol were armed — besides using many other items as weapons. The publication also criticized Johnson for proposing making Medicare and Social Security subject to annual budget negotiations in Congress — something that could obviously make both programs vulnerable to partisan infighting. “For years, Ron Johnson has demonstrated that he should be retired to his family’s seaside Florida home — and not representing Wisconsin in the U.S. Senate. Voters should send him packing this November,” the board said. The publication expressed particularly serious concerns about the prospects for democracy of Johnson retaining power. “We cannot elect people to office who do not honor the results of elections and still expect to hold onto our democratic republic,” the board commented. “It’s that simple. Even citizens who don’t like his opponent should withhold their vote for Johnson on this point alone — to ensure our government derives its power from the consent of the governed. To ensure, as Republican President Abraham Lincoln put it, “that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.”” “You’ll notice Johnson is not touting a long record of accomplishments in his ads for re-election. Instead, he and his supporters have attacked his opponent — a Black man — as “different” and “dangerous,”” the board continued. “In fact, Ron Johnson is the worst Wisconsin political representative since the infamous Sen. Joseph McCarthy. Johnson in the past promised to serve no more than two terms. Voters should hold him to that pledge in November.” Polling indicates the race is close, with surveys having shown both Barnes and Johnson in the lead. Johnson recently faced Barnes for a debate, where the Democratic contender criticized Johnson over his dismissal of concerns about abortion rules in the state. No related posts. " unreliable,"Biden Approval Ratings Jump Big Ahead Of Midterms Among likely voters in from The Economist and YouGov, approval for Joe Biden’s job performance in office is at 49 percent — just one percent behind disapproval. With just weeks until Election Day, these numbers suggest earlier trends of sharply declining public views of Biden are only further reversing. Biden and his team are presiding over positive developments for everyday Americans like a continually positive labor market, with low unemployment, while Democrats in general are pursuing broadly popular ambitions like protecting abortion rights. Biden also recently unveiled a student loan debt cancellation plan providing targeted relief to numerous Americans. Republicans predictably complained, including in sometimes bizarre terms that seemed designed to denigrate lower-income Americans, but some Republican members of Congress already saw their own businesses benefit from the sweeping loan forgiveness the government provided with Paycheck Protection Program money in connection to the pandemic. Biden extended similar opportunities to others. Biden also recently signed the Inflation Reduction Act, which included high-profile components like the largest single investment by the U.S. government into fighting climate change in history. And what’s Trump been doing? Complaining on Truth Social while becoming the subject of only additional investigative scrutiny? Trump remains obsessed with the outcome of the 2020 presidential race and imaginary fraud he claims stole his win, but that’s not what actually boosts the fortunes of everyday Americans. Even with gas prices, costs are going down, helping stem overall inflation. Biden has also turned his attention towards shipping prices, which connect to rising costs for goods in the U.S. and the recently fast pace of inflation. In June, Biden signed a measure Bloomberg the “biggest change to US shipping law in two decades.” As the outlet summarizes, the law mandates a U.S. agency called the Federal Maritime Commission “prevent ocean carriers from unreasonably refusing to fill open cargo space with US exports,” alongside other provisions. The export protections support the interests of U.S. farmers, officials noted. Meanwhile, job gains have reached the point that recently available numbers indicated manufacturing jobs passed the level seen before the pandemic, which breaks with the well-documented historical trend of U.S. manufacturing taking especially hard hits during times of economic decline. All of these developments follow Biden signing a wide-ranging infrastructure law that was poised to support the job market around the country. Even outside the context of construction and maintenance, making communities better connected helps the chances of those in these communities to find better job opportunities, so the benefits continue. In the new poll, Biden’s approval was two percent behind his disapproval with registered voters, 47 percent of whom backed the president. A full 85 percent of those identified as Biden voters in 2020 expressed approval for his job performance, while 83 percent of Democrats did so. Overall, Biden’s approval was 43 percent, with disapproval of 49 percent. Meanwhile, only 43 percent of likely voters expressed a favorable view of Trump in the new polling from The Economist . (That’s a measure different from job approval.) A full 55 percent of likely voters shared an unfavorable perspective, putting the former president 12 percentage points behind while Biden’s job approval was just one percent down in the key voting group.

" unreliable,"Poll Of Actual Voters Shows Biden Approval Numbers Rising Again Joe Biden’s level of public approval of his job performance is looking a lot better than it did in recent numbers. from POLITICO conducted by Morning Consult shows the president with 46 percent of respondents, who in this case are registered voters, approving of Biden’s performance in office, while only 52 percent disapproved. Those figures mean Biden’s disapproval is leading his approval by six percent — which is much smaller than for the president found in this source’s polling. In late July, Biden’s approval was behind his disapproval by 22 percentage points, with just 37 percent behind his presidency on this question and 59 percent expressing discontent. The new numbers represent the best showing for Biden in approval numbers from POLITICO and Morning Consult since March of this year, when the figures were 45 percent approving and 51 percent disapproving. Biden is presiding over an expanding series of legislative accomplishments, including the Inflation Reduction Act and a bipartisan bill increasing some of the safeguards around guns, which he signed. The latter included measures like the provision of $750 million available for the support of state-level efforts towards “the creation and administration of laws that help ensure deadly weapons are kept out of the hands of individuals a court has determined to be a significant danger to themselves or others” alongside other potential action, from the office of Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) says. It also bulks up the review process for prospective gun purchasers under the age of 21. (The shooter who attacked Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, earlier this year was 18.) The bill demands “an investigative period to review juvenile and mental health records,” Murphy’s recap explains, with specific requirements for that. (That’s for prospective buyers under 21.) Legislators also created criminal offenses covering those who might purchase a gun on behalf of someone who’d otherwise be restricted. Separately, the Inflation Reduction Act contains hundreds of billions of dollars towards fighting climate change, constituting the largest single investment by the federal government in combating climate change in history. The legislation “includes tens of billions in new investments in offshore wind and solar, doubling down on zero emission vehicles, increasing energy efficiency, [and] supporting clean manufacturing,” Wednesday. Increasingly positive views of Biden could help boost Democratic chances in this year’s midterm elections. No related posts. " unreliable,"Obama Rallies Democrats To Vote En Masse & Save Democracy President Barack Obama started off the morning with a national call to action.

And the former White House resident made voting real, regarding women’s rights, individual freedoms, and saving our planet. Then, the former POTUS turned people on to an  I WILL VOTE site that gives Americans a place to commit: ‘Voting is the cornerstone of our democracy—and, as the late Congressman John Lewis reminded us, our most precious right.

" unreliable,"Polling Shows Biden Approval Ratings Surge Again As Trump Fizzles The national polls are reflecting voters’ positive opinions regarding Joe Biden. POTUS’ approval rating just hit 45 percent, the highest in a year. People have noticed he dropped the mild demeanor and let the old “fighting Joe” come out. Voters clearly like this more realistic steely-eyed man at the helm of the nation. The the president just what he needed as the country rounds the last corner before the midterm elections in November. Among women, POTUS hit 52 percent, which will show up in the Senate and House races. That was up five percentage points since August when women gave him a 47 percent rating. Democratic pollster Jeff Horwitt of Hart Research Associates performed the survey along with the GOP pollster Bill McInturff of Public Opinion Strategies. Horwitt said: ‘We often think about wave elections. But this year, we may think instead about a “waves” election where unprecedentedly strong crosscurrents push voters in different directions, with an end result that may not be what we expected.’ The GOP pollster McInturff was on the same page: ‘There is a campaign about the economy, cost of living, crime, and border security, and Republicans are winning this campaign. But there is a second campaign on abortion, democracy and climate change, and Democrats are winning that campaign.’ When the Supreme Court loaded with Trump appointees overturned Roe v. Wade, women and men responded negatively. It was a turning point in Biden’s presidency, as reported: ‘Democrats have pulled even with Republicans ahead of November’s midterm elections, fueled by six in 10 voters who disapprove of the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade; President Joe Biden’s approval rating improving to its highest mark since October, and by Donald Trump’s favorability rating dropping to its lowest point in more than a year.’ Latinos have been a moving voting block, but they gave him a 48 percentage point approval. That was up an astounding eight points from 40 percent last month. The vote among younger Americans aged 18 to 36 years old moved President Biden up to a 48 percent approval, a whopping 12 points since August’s 36 percent. However, among Independents, POTUS only hit 36 percentage points. And among suburban voters, President Biden was at 43 percent. But among older Americans, 46 had a full 47 percent approval rating. Last week, the Associated Press-NORC poll showed the president up to 45 percent which was an astounding leap of nine percentage points since July. People noticed President Biden moving on big legislation. There was the CHIPS bill to encourage semiconductor chip manufacturing in the U.S. The president also signed into law a bill to help veterans. He believes that “burn pits” caused his son Beau’s deadly brain cancer: ‘[The] bill to boost investments in semiconductor chip manufacturing, a bill to provide aid to veterans exposed to toxic burn pits while serving, and Democrats’ $750 billion investment to address climate change and lower prescription drug costs.’ In addition, the American president saw his polls rising as the price of gas lowered every day throughout the summer. That was one of the two best indicators of economic improvement. The other was the cost of food, which remained expensive. President Biden ranked high during the honeymoon phase of his presidency and on through his first year in office. Unfortunately, inflation, immigration, and the economy tugged his rank down. Only 30 percent of voters approved of how POTUS has dealt with the cost of living, the NBC poll showed. And only 36 approved of how he had governed on border security and immigration. A full 42 percent approved of how he managed foreign policy. Finally, 40 percent were happy with how he dealt with the nation’s economy. The NBC News poll interviewed a random sampling of  1,000 registered voters. The poll was conducted from September 9 through 13. And the margin of error was a comfortable +/-  3.1 percentage points. Scott Pelley of 60 Minutes interviewed a very serious President Biden which aired Sunday. He asked about “Taiwan, inflation, the classified documents found in former President Trump’s home.” This is the president Americans like.

" unreliable,"Biden Defeats Trump In Potential 2024 Match-Up Polling Those proclaiming an imminent “red wave” might need to rethink their predictions. from The New York Times and Siena College found Biden leading by three percent on the national level when pitted against Donald Trump for a potential rematch in the 2024 presidential race. In the results, Biden nabbed 45 percent of the support, and Trump had 42 percent. That’s a little under the national margin with which Biden finished in the 2020 presidential race, although polling is obviously inherently imperfect, no matter how close to the final results the numbers land. Trump hasn’t formally confirmed he will be running for the presidency again in the next election, but he has made numerous indications that such is precisely where he’s heading. These indications include his repeated references to what he would do — a list including prospective pardons for Capitol riot participants — if elected to the presidency again. In the new polling from the Times and Siena College, Dems also saw a slight lead of two percent on the question of which major party’s candidate voters would back in this year’s House elections. on the same question from Fox worked out to a GOP gain in the chamber of about one seat, according to the right-wing outlet — which isn’t enough to hand control of the House to the party, since Dems are presently nine seats ahead of the GOP in the chamber (thanks to Alaska and Mary Peltola). On a related question (approval for Biden’s job performance by members of the public), the Times polling found a trend showing up elsewhere: Democratic opinions of the president’s job performance are rising, driving an overall boost. In Times polling from July, 70 percent of Democrats approved of Biden’s job performance, and in the new numbers, it’s 83 percent — a substantial jump. Increasing levels of satisfaction with the direction the White House is taking could motivate Democratic voters to turn out in this year’s high-stakes elections. Many are obviously paying close attention. It was just recently that, among other developments, the Inflation Reduction Act — containing huge investments in fighting climate change, alongside other initiatives — was enacted. Democrats, meanwhile, are already broadly favored (although definitely not certain) to hold onto the Senate. Image: Gage Skidmore/ No related posts. " unreliable,"Biden Approval Rating Jumps Big As Blue Wave Accelerates from Quinnipiac University, the portion of the public indicating approval of Joe Biden’s job performance is up nine percentage points in just six weeks. In polling released August 31, a full 40 percent of overall respondents indicated approval of Biden’s performance in office, while 52 percent shared disapproval. In polling from late July, Biden’s overall level of approval was at just 31 percent, which was the lowest level recorded for Biden’s approval in Quinnipiac’s numbers since he took office. Since those earlier numbers were released, a significant jump was recorded in the level of approval for Biden’s job performance among Democrats. Now, it’s 83 percent of Democrats indicating approval, but in the July numbers, it was 71 percent. That jump is no doubt the source for a lot of the overall shift. In August, Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law, a long-awaited budget reconciliation deal that included key measures like the largest single investment by the U.S. government into fighting climate change in history. Evidently, it’s going over well. With registered voters — evidently distinct from the overall respondents whose opinions are reflected by the main Quinnipiac data, Biden’s level of job approval went up by eight percentage points from July to August. In July, 33 percent of the group approved of Biden’s job performance, and now, it’s 41 percent. Overall respondents were also specifically asked whether they approved of Biden’s handling of the economy, and Biden saw a significant jump in his approval level on that question from July to August. In July, it was just 28 percent. Now, it’s 37 percent. Biden’s somewhat recovering public image among certain groups could ease the potential downward pressure on the Democrats’ political chances heading into the midterms. , Democratic candidate Mary Peltola won a special election in Alaska for the remainder of the final term of Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska), who held the seat for decades until his death. The state used ranked choice voting for the election. Participating voters could select multiple choices and rank their picks, and in the event no candidate passed 50 percent in the first round of tabulations, then the last-place finisher faced elimination, with their supporters’ ballots getting appropriately reallocated according to voters’ additional selections. The last-place finisher in the first round was Republican Nick Begich III, and some 29 percent of his voters picked Peltola as their second choice, according to The Washington Post , which meant she beat the runner-up: longtime public menace Sarah Palin.

" unreliable,"Democrats Soar To All Time Highs Over GOP In Congressional Polling asking respondents which party’s candidate they’d pick in this year’s Congressional elections, Democrats have reached a level of support that’s the highest recorded since the beginning of one publicly available recap of the pollster’s data. In polling dated August 29, Democrats nabbed 46.4 percent of the support, and Republicans had 37.7 percent. Democrats have mostly led in YouGov’s Congressional polling conducted since last November, a year before the upcoming elections. Recently, a variety of positive developments have unfolded that stand to boost Democratic chances in the midterms, including falling gas prices, which have driven overall decreases in reported levels of inflation. Democrats also secured legislative successes including the enactment of a bill called the Inflation Reduction Act that contains key pieces of the party’s policy agenda in areas including healthcare and fighting climate change. On the healthcare side, the bill will eventually allow Medicare to finally negotiate the costs of certain prescription drugs, and it will eventually cap Medicare recipients’ yearly prescription costs at $2,000, meaning they’ll pay no more beyond that level. The YouGov data from August 29 reflects the responses of registered voters (a group distinct from so-called likely voters surveyed in other polls). Democrats are also doing well on the Senate side. Editors at Sabato’s Crystal Ball, which is associated with the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia, ratings changes for two high-profile Senate races on the ballot this year in Arizona and Pennsylvania. (In this context, a rating refers to a forecast.) The ratings changes moved both races from “toss-up” to “leans Democratic.” Now, that particular source rates just two Senate races on the ballot this year, in Nevada and Georgia, as toss-ups. The Cook Political Report, produces forecasts for Senate races heading into November’s elections, also has those two states as toss-ups, alongside Arizona and Wisconsin. (It rates Pennsylvania “lean D.”) Kyle Kondik and J. Miles Coleman, the editors who unveiled the change, cited issues including Democratic funding leads and difficulties with the public image for candidates on the Republican side. In Arizona, a super PAC connected to Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) some $8 million in ad reservations, adding onto an already substantial gap in ad expenditures, with Kelly leading as of a recent point. In Pennsylvania, Oz hasn’t led in a single major poll released publicly since the general election face-off between the celebrity and John Fetterman, who’s currently Pennsylvania’s lieutenant governor, began. Oz is also dealing with PR issues, like the decades he lived in New Jersey before much more recently moving to Pennsylvania and his multiple mansions, the existence of which doesn’t exactly help his attempts to depict himself as essentially sticking up for everyday Pennsylvania residents.

" unreliable,"GOP Sinking Fast Amongst Female Voters According To 'CBS' Polling available now, Democrats are seeing positive signs for their prospects in this year’s midterm elections. Democrats lead Republicans by 13 percentage points among white women with college degrees after only leading by six percent in the group in July. “In the last two elections, White women with college degrees were critical to Democrats’ winning coalition, voting for them by double-digit margins,” CBS notes. Concerns about reproductive rights are a significant factor behind Democratic voters’ choices, according to CBS polling. Among Democratic likely voters, 77 percent called abortion “very important” in their vote for Congress. Concerns about protecting abortion are driving voters more than desires for restricting it, according to the numbers. Among likely voters, 41 percent indicated their vote for Congress this year rested on a desire to support abortion rights. Only 16 percent said the opposite, and 43 percent identified no connection between their votes and abortion access. Among total respondents, Republicans saw a two-percentage point lead on the question of which party’s Congressional candidates that poll participants would back this fall. Republicans nabbed 47 percent of the support, and Democrats had 45 percent. In overall calculations for how many seats each party is forecasted to win, Republicans slightly led — but their lead was within the reported margin of error. CBS’s latest estimates for the total number of seats in the House each party will hold after the midterms puts the Republican total at 226, with the Democratic total at 209. The margin of error is 13 seats, and bringing down the GOP total by that level to account for possible alternate outcomes puts the party several seats below the number needed for control. Based on polling alone, FiveThirtyEight estimated Dems had a 35-in-100 chance of retaining control of the House after the midterms Sunday. Dem prospects are considered significantly better in the Senate. Other recent polling asking voters for their choice of a Democratic or Republican candidate in this year’s Congressional elections found Democrats in the lead. The level of public approval for Joe Biden’s job performance is also rising in recent polls amid developments like falling gas prices, easing inflation, and the enactment of legislative successes for the Democrats like the Inflation Reduction Act. The bill, which Biden recently signed into law, contains the biggest single investment by the U.S. government into fighting climate change in history. In the new CBS polling, a full 45 percent of overall respondents said they approved of Biden’s job performance, which is three percent higher than Biden’s approval level CBS found in July. The overall level of job approval for Biden is the highest seen in CBS polling since February. No related posts. " unreliable,"Latest Joe Biden Approval Ratings Signal A Blue Wave In November shows increasing levels of approval for President Joe Biden. In Gallup polling conducted across August, the portion of overall respondents indicating they approved of Biden’s job performance hit 44 percent, which was an increase of six percentage points from the previous Gallup survey. The polling organization notes their new survey was completed before the recent announcement by Biden of a plan for cancelling significant levels of student debt for many Americans. Right in the middle of the polling period, however, Democrats scored a significant legislative victory with the passage and presidential signing of the Inflation Reduction Act, a sweeping budget reconciliation deal that, among other components, contains the largest single investment by the U.S. government into fighting climate change in history. The bill was finalized and passed after months on end of negotiations among Democrats. It didn’t need — and didn’t receive — a single Republican vote in either chamber. The last time that Biden’s level of public approval was at 44 percent or higher in Gallup polling was in August of last year, when the portion of the public indicating they approved of Biden’s job performance hit 49 percent. In the new poll, 53 percent of overall respondents indicated they disapproved of Biden’s job performance. The biggest boost in approval for Biden’s job performance among members of an individual political group was with independents. In July polling from Gallup, 31 percent of independents said they approved of the job Biden was doing. Now, it’s 40 percent. Just 4 percent of Republicans indicated they approved in the new Gallup numbers. Since becoming president last year, the highest level of approval Biden ever received with GOP respondents in Gallup polling was 12 percent. Alongside legislative successes for Democrats, which also include an ambitious bill to support the U.S. tech industry, economic indicators are moving in a positive direction. After dramatic rises, gas prices are falling, and unemployment remains generally low as inflation also slows down. In July, a key government index of inflation known as the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index actually a decrease of 0.1 percent on a month-to-month basis, meaning prices fell at that rate from the previous month’s levels. (Prices remained higher than they were last July.) The month-to-month decrease was driven in substantial part by falling energy costs. Gallup notes that according to their numbers Biden now stands at a higher level of public approval than where five of his recent presidential predecessors were in the August before a given year’s midterm elections. His level of approval is higher in Gallup’s polling than the portion of the public saying they approved of Trump in August 2018, when Republicans went on to lose control of the House. Polling of the midterm elections and recent election results in a Congressional race in New York’s Hudson Valley region, where Democrats significantly outperformed all major surveys, suggest Democrats are heading towards some level of relative success in the midterms.

" unreliable,"Biden Approval Polling Rises Again As Accomplishments Mount from Morning Consult and POLITICO, the portion of the public indicating approval for Joe Biden’s job performance hit its highest level since May in this particular pollster’s figures. In the latest numbers, 43 percent of overall respondents indicated they approved, and 55 percent shared disapproval. The number of Democrats sharing approval of Biden’s job performance grew by three percentage points, from 76 percent to 79 percent, in the time since the Inflation Reduction Act was passed in the Senate, which preceded the House passing the measure and Biden signing it). (Figures are rounded.) The Inflation Reduction Act is a so-called budget reconciliation deal that didn’t require any Republican votes to pass. It included, among an array of high-profile provisions, the largest single investment by the U.S. government in fighting climate change in history, an aim accomplished through means like new federal support (in the form of tax credits) for electric vehicles and using renewable energy in the production of electricity. In the new Morning Consult numbers, Democrats led Republicans by five percent when respondents were asked which major party’s candidate they would most likely support in this year’s Congressional elections. Democrats nabbed 47 percent of the support, while Republicans had 42 percent. It’s the biggest lead for Democrats in results for that question since last October. As the November elections approach, Democrats can point to the recent outcome of a Congressional election in New York as evidence the party could outperform polling to the point of upsetting an expected outcome. (Certain forecasts suggest Republicans hold a better chance of controlling the House after the midterms.) In a closely watched Hudson Valley race, cataloged by FiveThirtyEight showed the GOP candidate, Marc Molinaro, winning. In the end, Democratic contender Pat Ryan won, meaning he’ll serve the remainder of the last term of Rep. Antonio Delgado (D-N.Y.), who left to become New York’s lieutenant governor. Ryan and Molinaro are both running again for a full term, although amid the reshuffling of district boundaries following redistricting, they are running in different districts this November. Biden’s approval rating in polling from Rasmussen Reports, hitting the highest level since last September. In recent numbers dated August 22, 47 percent of respondents indicated approval, and 52 percent shared disapproval, as reported on this site. A full 24 percent of the overall total indicated they strongly approved of Biden, although 43 percent of the collective total shared strong disapproval. In Rasmussen numbers dated September 7, 2021, the overall approval and disapproval levels were the same, with only slight variations in the overall total specifically indicating strong approval or strong disapproval. A full 44 percent of overall respondents shared strong disapproval, while 27 percent shared strong approval for the president’s job performance in those September 2021 numbers. No related posts. " unreliable,"Prominent Republican Denounces GOP & Becomes A Democrat Colorado state Sen. Kevin Priola this week that he was changing his party affiliation from Republican to Democrat. One of the key issues he said drove his decision was the Republican Party’s continued allegiance to Trump, even after the deadly Capitol riot. Priola’s decision means Republicans hoping to regain control of the Colorado state Senate, where they’re currently in the minority, must flip another seat in the 35-member chamber. In a publicly available letter, Priola expressed concerns about the way the few Republicans speaking out against Trump and some of the dangers associated with the former president’s actions were quickly shunned. Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) just lost the primary by a large margin in her race for re-election. Additionally, he’s not alone in facing threats, but Trump opponent Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), who is retiring, by phone calls to his office threatening him and his family. “We know where your family is and we’re going to get you,” one caller said, adding to Kinzinger that he would “get your wife” and “get your kids.” “Like many Coloradans, I watched the events on January 6th with horror,” Priola wrote. “I felt that clearly this would be the last straw and that my party would now finally distance itself from Donald Trump and the political environment he created. Week after week and month after month, I waited for that response; it never came… I cannot continue to be a part of a political party that is okay with a violent attempt to overturn a free and fair election and continues to peddle claims that the 2020 election was stolen.” Priola also shared worries about the Republican Party’s general dismissiveness towards climate change. “Today, my Republican colleagues would rather deny the existence of human-caused climate change than take action,” he wrote. “I increasingly believe this inaction is counter to our responsibility as political leaders.” Priola said he wasn’t changing the way he voted on legislation, meaning the general policy ambitions with which he aligned himself. In the letter outlining his reasoning behind deciding to switch parties, he noted he’s against abortion and broadly in support of gun rights (although plenty of Democrats also support reasonably broad gun rights). Priola also noted the potential ramifications of his decision to switch, specifically in terms of what it means for how easily Republicans can regain control of the Colorado state Senate, which the party last held in the early parts of Trump’s term. Democrats won control of the chamber in the 2018 elections and held it in 2020. Priola indicated he specifically believed Democrats should control the state Senate, meaning he was evidently willing to let his personal political ambitions contrary to the Democratic majority go in favor of the broader agenda. “Simply put, we need Democrats in charge because our planet and our democracy depend on it,” Priola remarked. Democrats welcomed him. “Over the past four years, Senate Democrats have taken bold, meaningful action to curb emissions, prepare for climate related disasters — including wildfires — and invest in renewable energy. And despite consistent fierce opposition from his Republican colleagues, Senator Priola has been a tremendously valuable partner of ours almost every step of the way,” state Senate President Sen. Steve Fenberg (D) about Priola’s party switch announced this week. No related posts. " unreliable,"Biden Popularity Surges In Latest Round Of Approval Polling from Rasmussen Reports, the percentage of the public indicating approval for Joe Biden’s job performance is now the highest since early September 2021. In the latest numbers, dated August 22, 47 percent of respondents indicated approval, and 52 percent shared disapproval. A full 24 percent of the overall total indicated they strongly approved of Biden, although 43 percent of the collective total shared strong disapproval. In Rasmussen numbers dated September 7, 2021, the overall approval and disapproval levels were the same, with only slight variations in the overall total specifically indicating strong approval or strong disapproval. A full 44 percent of overall respondents indicated strong disapproval, while 27 percent shared strong approval for the president’s job performance in those September 2021 numbers. For a more recently focused perspective, Rasmussen numbers showed overall approval for Biden a full ten percentage points lower on July 22 of this year, with 37 percent approving and 61 percent disapproving, meaning Biden’s overall standing evidently improved to a significant extent just in recent weeks. Recently, Biden helped kick-start the implementation of cornerstone policy initiatives such as the Inflation Reduction Act, a budget reconciliation deal first passed in the Senate before its House approval and presidential signature. The sweeping legislative initiative contains the largest single investment by the U.S. government into fighting climate change in history, with measures including substantial surges in government support for electric vehicles and the usage of renewable energy in producing electricity. The bill also includes popular measures like a cap of $2,000 per year for the prescription medication costs paid by those on Medicare and an allowance for Medicare to negotiate the prices of certain prescription drugs, which will facilitate key expenses going down. (Those Medicare-related measures in the bill don’t immediately take effect.) Many Americans are also concerned and upset about the recent overturning by the U.S. Supreme Court of Roe v. Wade , which established the legally recognized nationwide right to abortion. Democrats offer clear alternatives to the GOP rollback of reproductive rights. Polling for the upcoming midterm elections suggests Democrats are heading towards resounding successes, like a victory in the Pennsylvania Senate race featuring Democratic contender and current Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman running against Mehmet Oz, aka Dr. Oz, the Republicans’ selection. Fetterman consistently leads Oz in polling and posts impressive fundraising numbers, like $1 million raised last week after a widely mocked video of Oz began circulating across the internet. The video features Oz wandering through a grocery store and complaining about prices in an attempt to make a point about inflation, but he seemed out-of-touch to many. He called the store by its wrong name, misread prices, and griped about the costs for crudités — French appetizers that don’t exactly make the multiple mansion-owning Oz seem like an everyman. Oz spent decades living in New Jersey and only in recent years moved to Pennsylvania. Image: Gage Skidmore/ No related posts. " unreliable,"Trump Suffers Sunday Conniption Fit As Merrick Garland Closes In Donald Trump’s apparent impression of his poll numbers doesn’t exactly match the actual numbers. In a Sunday rant on his social media platform Truth Social, he once again claimed resoundingly impressive numbers, insisting Democrats are concerned about running against him more than they’re worried about any other potential GOP presidential pick. In actuality, the most recent polling pitting Biden and Trump against each other for a possible rematch showed Biden winning (although the portrait is mixed, and some shows Trump leading). When pitting Biden against Florida GOP Governor Ron DeSantis for a potential presidential face-off, the governor’s standing isn’t far off from Trump’s level of support. In recent YouGov/ Yahoo News polling, DeSantis nabbed 42 percent of the support among registered voters, and Biden got 45 percent. For registered voters asked about Biden against Trump, the numbers broke down exactly the same: 45 percent for Biden, 42 percent for Trump. The ex-president’s not unique in polling terms. “All polls STRONGLY indicate that I am the candidate that Democrats LEAST want to run against, by far, hence the politically motivated Raid on Mar-a- Lago – Which has backfired, big time!” Trump Sunday. “I beat them twice, did much better the second time (many millions more votes than the first!), and may just have to do it again. Our Country is going to Hell!” Actually, the Biden administration continues implementing policies that deliver real-world benefits to Americans, from the infrastructure package Biden signed that continues supporting infrastructure initiatives to the recently signed Inflation Reduction Act, which contains the largest single investment by the U.S. government in fighting climate change in history. People benefit from fighting climate change just like the environment does. As pollution decreases in the short-term through means like the massive investment in electric vehicles contained in the inflation-oriented bill, those in vulnerable communities can live less threatened lives. Trump about Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) on Sunday. “The Fake News Media has badly soiled Liz Cheney, who has just suffered the biggest defeat of a sitting Congressperson in history (broke the record of another Impeacher, Tom Rice of South Carolina!), losing by 40 points, all over the place doing interviews that nobody wants to hear,” Trump claimed early Sunday. “No wonder their ratings are sooo BAD. Her record setting horrible results were a referendum on the Unselect Committee of political Hacks and Thugs, of which she is definitely one! Amazing how they keep her on the air?” It remains remarkable how desperate he sounds. He’s really trying to make it a thing that the recent loss Cheney suffered in her Wyoming primary is some kind of “referendum” on the House committee investigating the Capitol riot, where she’s vice chair. Ultimately, Wyoming is just one state. respondents were asked: “How important do you think it is for Congress and the Justice Department to investigate the events that took place at the U.S. Capitol building on January 6, 2021?” A full 65 percent of overall respondents said it was “very” or “somewhat” important, and just 33 percent indicated a belief it wasn’t important.

" unreliable,"Democrats Shame GOP With Ad Campaign Promoting Biden Victories To celebrate President Joe Biden’s signature Inflation Reduction Act, Democratic groups have launched a $10 million multi-media ad campaign to showcase the president’s new legislative accomplishments. The ad campaign backers who stepped up to contribute the $10 million are Climate Power, the League of Conservation Voters, and Future Forward USA Action, which is a Democrat donor nonprofit, according to The Axios. This will be the most expensive ad campaign to promote new legislation in the nation’s history. With only 90 days before the midterms, a large effort was necessary to ensure Americans understand what the Inflation Reduction Act can do for them. Senior Vice President of Campaigns at the League of Conservation Voters Pete Maysmith indicated that the GOP would attempt to frame the legislation negatively should the Democrats not get the word out right away, according to The POLITICO: ‘The magnitude, the scope and the importance of what Congress and Biden just did for climate change is transformational … and it is essential that people understand the magnitude of what just happened. We can’t sit around and wait for that to happen. We need to aggressively tell this story.’ The Director of Climate Power, Lori Lodes, said in the past Dems have traditionally lost big in midterm elections after a Democratic presidential win. In 2010 the party lost “63 House seats and six Senate seats.” The ad campaign backers do not want a repeat of that Lodes said: ‘There was no campaign to win the win after passage of the Affordable Care Act, whereas the other side spent $450 million to define it as a socialist takeover.’ A Democratic ad maker and former political director at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Ian Russell said the television and online media ads need to promote. Biden’s “promises made, promises kept” messages: ‘I know frontline members have already shot spots explaining their vote, touting what’s in the bill and basically saying — promises made, promises kept on lowering prescription drug costs and health care costs. You’ll see those ads proliferate for frontline Democrats. You have to put money behind it. You have to sell it through ads.’ President of Senate Majority PAC, JB Poersch, noted that the ads would emphasize the new lower drug costs now that Medicare can finally negotiate for lower drug prices and place a new cap on insulin spending: ‘This [spending] reinforces what Democrats in the House and the Senate are already talking about, flagship Senate Democratic super PAC. It helps to echo that relief is on the way.’ Robert Blizzard, a Republican pollster was not enthusiastic about the ad campaign: ‘For independent voters, until they see changes in how much money is leaving their pocket every month, this is going to fall largely on deaf ears. This is merely a play to gin up support among their base.’ After President Joe Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law on Tuesday he indicated that he plans to send most of his Cabinet out to spread the good news.

The just-released showed Wednesday how big of a win POTUS received when he signed the Stop Inflation Act. In addition, the president has slightly altered his demeanor. And people noticed that the old fighting Joe was back. The legislation provided money for climate change and health care. In addition, it reformed the tax package to more equitably share the burden and contained an effort on gun control. A summary of the new bill can be found on the Democrat’s Senate page. The poll showed that 42 percent of registered voters approved of how President Biden has been performing his job.

Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) is 14 percentage points ahead of Republican general election challenger and Trump endorsement-recipient Blake Masters in Center Street PAC poll. Kelly nabbed 54 percent of the support, while Masters got just 40 percent. In the poll, 7 percent identified themselves as undecided. (Rounding of poll results sometimes leads to totals slightly over 100.) Masters’s level of support among Republicans was lower than one might expect to find. A full 73 percent went for him — but 14 percent backed Kelly. For comparison, only 5 percent of Democrats indicated support for Masters, meaning it seems like Masters is losing the support of members of his own party at a rate significantly ahead of Kelly’s. Questions about respondents’ favorable views for particular candidates also reveal Masters hasn’t locked down the support of the entire Arizona GOP base, or something close to it. A full 51 percent of Republicans said they view Masters “Somewhat” or “Very” favorably, while 24 percent of Republicans indicated an unfavorable view of Masters. Presumably, the other Republicans indicated they didn’t have an opinion for whatever reason, including holding low information about the candidate. Just 12 percent of Dems indicated an unfavorable view of Kelly, according to the Center Street PAC polling. In terms of putting Kelly substantially ahead of Masters, this new Center Street PAC poll is not an outlier.

Democratic control of the Senate is allowing the accomplishment of critical ambitions such as the recently passed legislative initiative known as the Inflation Reduction Act, which contains the largest single investment by the federal government in fighting climate change in history.

" unreliable,"Polling Shows Raphael Warnock Defeating Herschel Walker In Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) is ahead of Trump-endorsed Republican challenger Herschel Walker The poll was sponsored by the campaign of Charlie Bailey, the Democratic pick for lieutenant governor in Georgia’s elections this year. The polling found Bailey tied with state Sen. Burt Jones, the current GOP pick in the same race and a close ally of former President Donald Trump who was involved in the scheme in the state to assemble faked electoral votes for Trump despite Biden’s win there. The poll, conducted by Research Affiliates, found Bailey and Jones with 43 percent of the support apiece. As for the state’s U.S. Senate race, in which Warnock is hoping to win a full term of six years after getting elected to serve the final two years of the last term of the late Johnny Isakson, Warnock garnered 49 percent of the support, while Walker got 46 percent. That margin of three percentage points dividing the two candidates is within the margin of error reported for the survey. However, it’s worth noting that the pool of participants in this poll clearly wasn’t just a bunch of Democrats: former state legislative leader-turned-voting rights activist Stacey Abrams was tied with incumbent Republican Brian Kemp in the Georgia gubernatorial race, with each candidate getting 47 percent of the support. Other recent polling in the Georgia Senate race, including a Fox News survey conducted by a bipartisan team of pollsters, found Warnock in the lead. The Fox poll showed Warnock with a lead of 4 percent. In the from FiveThirtyEight of the Georgia Senate race, Warnock was ahead of Walker by a 2.7 percent margin, as of Friday. In the same site’s of forecasts for the midterms, it rated the Georgia Senate race a toss-up as of Friday afternoon. Decision Desk HQ, another elections data and analysis site, the Georgia Senate race as leaning towards the Democrats as of the same point. Elsewhere in the map of Senate elections this year, Democrats have further positive chances in states including Arizona and Pennsylvania, where Democratic contenders Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) and John Fetterman, the current lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania, lead GOP challengers Blake Masters and Mehmet Oz by double-digits in some polling. Warnock’s presence in the Senate, with that of his fellow Georgia Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff, was the clincher that delivered control of the chamber to the Democrats and allowed the party to undertake ambitious initiatives ever since, from the COVID-19 relief package passed early last year to the more recent piece of legislation known as the Inflation Reduction Act. That bill, which passed the Senate first before expected passage in the House and a presidential signature, contains the largest single investment by the U.S. government into fighting climate change in history. Notably, the recent Fox survey of the Georgia Senate race a significant gap in enthusiasm behind Warnock and Walker. A full 69 percent of Warnock’s Georgia supporters expressed enthusiasm about their candidate, but just 51 percent of Walker’s backers said the same about the Trump-backed contender. No related posts. " unreliable,"Democrats Surge Against GOP In Fox News Midterm Polling In recent months, Democrats surged by 7 percentage points against Republicans in generic ballot polling from Fox News. The polling asked respondents which party’s candidate they’d support in the upcoming Congressional elections without specifying a candidate by name. In polling conducted from the end of last week into the beginning of this one, ending on August 9, support for Democrats and Republicans was evenly split. Each side got 41 percent in the generic ballot polling from Fox News, which was conducted by a jointly operating team of Republican and Democratic pollsters. In polling from Fox back in May, Republicans were ahead of Democrats by 7 percent, with 46 percent of the support compared to just 39 percent for Dems. By last month, the GOP lead was just three percentage points. Recently, Democratic leaders in Congress and at the White House scored a significant series of victories, including the Inflation Reduction Act — as it’s known — that recently passed the Senate. That legislation was in the form of a budget reconciliation deal, meaning it didn’t need a single Republican vote since Dems hold a simple majority in the chamber. It was the culmination of months and months of negotiations and infighting among members of the Democratic caucus in the Senate. Now, the legislation includes landmark provisions like the largest single investment by the U.S. government in fighting climate change ever and the allowance for Medicare to negotiate the cost of certain prescription drugs, although that new policy won’t go into effect right away. The investments in combating environmental degradation include huge sums for tax credits supporting electric vehicles and the usage of renewable energy sources in the production of electricity. Meanwhile, Democratic leaders also well-established in the aftermath of the Supreme Court overturning Roe  they’d fight for the restoration of federal abortion protections, providing an opportunity for Americans to hope. As Chris Anderson, a Democratic pollster behind the Fox polling, put it: “Between passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, killing al Qaeda’s leader, less pain at the pump, and the Republican-appointed Supreme Court justices taking away abortion rights, the political landscape is less horrible for Democrats… There are successes Democrats can point to that didn’t exist in the spring, but the biggest single change I see in this poll is the increased disapproval of the Supreme Court and suspect that is a significant factor.” Since May, a large swing in women’s anticipated support in upcoming Congressional elections was recorded: in Fox’s May polling, the hypothetical Republican Congressional candidate led among women by 1 percent, but now, the Democratic contender leads in the same group by 6 percent. After Roe was overturned, a wide variety of legal challenges to try and stop state-level abortion restrictions promptly got moving. No related posts. " unreliable,"Val Demings Clobbers Marco Rubio By Large Amount In Senate Fundraising Rep. Val Demings (D-Fla.), the likely Democratic general election candidate for Florida’s ongoing U.S. Senate race, millions more than incumbent Republican Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.) since the beginning of July. The Demings campaign reported raising $4.7 million in the period from July 1 to August 3 — and in that same period, Rubio’s campaign raised only $1.9 million. The fundraising totals since the end of the second quarter, which concluded at the close of June, mean the general election fundraising total for the Demings campaign is millions higher than the Rubio campaign’s total. Although Florida’s primaries are still forthcoming, candidates for federal office are permitted to raise money for the general election before the primaries are concluded. If a candidate loses their primary, they must return the general election donations. By August 3, the general election fundraising total for the Demings campaign was more than $46 million, per the Florida Politics website. The Rubio campaign’s comparable total was $38 million. Demings, notably, also outspent Rubio by a significant margin in July, perhaps suggesting that Rubio’s campaign is interested in trying to use previously established name recognition and party affiliation — things less affected by campaigning — towards boosting general election chances. The Demings campaign spent $7.5 million across July, while Rubio’s campaign spent $1.5 million. The Rubio campaign held more in cash on hand — meaning available funds — than the Demings campaign as of the close of the time period covered by these post-second quarter, pre-primary reports. The Rubio campaign had $15 million, while the Demings campaign had $8.8 million. Demings also significantly out-raised the Rubio campaign in the second quarter, when she brought in $12 million while Rubio gathered just $4.3 million. “Not only is Marco Rubio failing to show up for his job in the Senate, he’s failing to show up on the campaign trail. After getting out-raised every quarter for over a year, Rubio’s campaign is still struggling. It’s clear that Floridians are fed up with Marco Rubio’s record of caving to special interests and refusing to do his job,” Florida Democratic Party spokesperson Grant Fox said around the time of the latest fundraising numbers for Demings and Rubio coming out. found Rubio and Demings with even levels of support. In one, sponsored by EMILY’s List, both had 46 percent of the support, while in another, sponsored by a pair of Democratic-leaning groups focusing on Florida, both the likely general election challengers had 45 percent overall. Earlier polling largely found Rubio in the lead, suggesting the tilt towards Dems reflected by other recent polling covering races across the midterms carries over into Florida — where millions of Democrats still reside, no matter the state’s recent gerrymandering-assisted GOP lean. Two of the possibly brightest spots on the midterm elections map for Democrats this year are the Senate races in Arizona and Pennsylvania, where Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) and John Fetterman (Pennsylvania’s current lieutenant governor) are leading their Republican challengers by often substantial margins. In recent polling, Fetterman is often up over Mehmet Oz, aka Dr. Oz, by double-digits. With Democrats delivering successful legislative initiatives like the climate and healthcare package that recently passed the Senate, which contained the largest single investment by the U.S. government into fighting climate change in history, the contrast between the major parties is clear.

" unreliable,"Latest Biden Approval Ratings Have Democrats Smiling Wide In Reuters/ Ipsos polling, the percentage of Americans approving of the job President Joe Biden is doing in office to the highest level recorded since the early parts of June. The portion of overall respondents indicating approval of Biden’s job performance hit 40 percent, a slight uptick recorded after major legislative victories for Democrats including the passage in the Senate of a sweeping initiative touching on various policy areas including climate. The bill, as approved in the chamber, the largest single investment by the U.S. government in fighting climate change in history. Hundreds of billions — nearly $400 billion across 10 years — were designated for tax credits supporting electric vehicles and the usage of renewable energy sources in the production of electricity. The bill also allows Medicare to negotiate the price of certain prescription medications for the first time, in addition to imposing a new cap of $2,000 a year on Medicare recipients’ prescription medication spending. Neither of those two policy changes go into effect right away. Supporting the idea that the legislative success seen by Democratic leaders connects to Biden’s rise in approval, Democrats offered approval of the job Biden is doing at a level nine percentage points higher than the rate a month prior. In the new polling, which was finished on Tuesday, 78 percent of self-identified Democrats approved of Biden’s performance. Polling from the month before the new survey found just 69 percent of Democrats approving of Biden. Besides the bill passed in the Senate in recent days — which the House is expected to approve before a signature from Biden in the near future — Biden also recently signed a large-scale legislative initiative featuring subsidies in support of components of the U.S. tech industry. The bill supports the U.S. production of semiconductor chips, a critical technological component used in many products. A shortage of the chips was among developments corresponding to recent price spikes. The chips bill was posed to deliver positive impacts for the U.S. job market and U.S. national security, Biden said. Overall, economic indicators remain relatively positive — unemployment to a level on par with the 50-year low seen before the impacts of COVID began shutting down portions of the U.S. economy, and job growth in July beat expectations by a long-shot. U.S. employers added 528,000 jobs last month according to federal data, although an Associated Press identified an expectation from economists for the July jobs report to land at 250,000.  More recently, federal data revealed inflation in July — overall, prices didn’t go up at all compared to the previous month, meaning June, although prices were still significantly above last year’s July prices. However, the trend isn’t immutable. Overall month-to-month inflation in June was 1.3 percent, making July’s drop a turnaround. No related posts. " unreliable,"Obama Heaps Praise On Biden For His Monumental Legislative Success This weekend, the Senate passed a sweeping legislative initiative containing key agenda items in fields from healthcare to climate policy. Former President Barack Obama rallied Americans behind the measure in remarks posted to Twitter. “The Inflation Reduction Act that just passed the Senate is a major accomplishment,” the former president on Sunday. “Not only will it reduce inflation and lower the cost of prescription drugs – it also happens to be the most consequential piece of climate legislation in American history. Thanks to President Biden and Democrats in Congress, people’s bills will get smaller, their lives will get longer, and we’ll have a real shot at avoiding the worst impacts of climate change. That’s something Democrats everywhere can and should be proud of.” After months of on-again, off-again negotiations and progress among Democrats, the measure was passed in the Senate on Sunday without the need for a single GOP vote. Budget reconciliation initiatives only need a simple majority, and Dems hold that in the chamber. Thanks to President Biden and Democrats in Congress, people’s bills will get smaller, their lives will get longer, and we’ll have a real shot at avoiding the worst impacts of climate change. That’s something Democrats everywhere can and should be proud of. — Barack Obama (@BarackObama) The expansive legislation contains the largest federal investment in fighting climate change in U.S. history. by The New York Times in an article to which Obama linked in his comments on Twitter, the plan, once enacted, puts nearly $400 billion over 10 years towards tax credits supporting electric vehicles and the usage of renewable energy in the production of electricity. “Energy experts said the measure would help the United States to cut greenhouse gas emissions about 40 percent below 2005 levels by the end of this decade,” as the Times explained it. The bill also puts $27 billion behind the establishment of an inaugural national “green bank” to support investments in clean energy initiatives, with a focus on lower-income communities. As for other policy areas, like healthcare, the measure will finally allow Medicare to directly negotiate the cost of (certain) prescription medications with the companies providing them. The legislation also includes (of $2,000) on the yearly amount those on Medicare will be personally paying for prescription meds. That limit will take effect in 2025. Other areas covered by the legislation include tax policy, an area the bill addressed through means such as tens of billions in new funding for IRS operations, which could help the agency go after wealthy interests avoiding paying their taxes. The bill, which cleared its main hurdle with its passage in the Senate over the weekend and is now set for likely House passage and a later presidential signature, is among a list of policy accomplishments by Biden and Dem leaders in Congress. Members of Congress also recently approved a widely touted bill with hundreds of billions for the U.S. tech industry, prioritizing the domestic production of a key tech component called semiconductor chips. That bill is poised to provide benefits like lower prices (because of easier access to important items) and a boost to the U.S. jobs market. No related posts. " unreliable,"Democrats Outmaneuver GOP On Historic Legislation In Middle Of Night The Senate Republicans stand directly behind Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) trying to kill the Democrats’ new legislation. But the vote was equally divided along party lines 50-50. And fortunately, Vice President Kamala Harris broke the tie with her Democratic vote. Then the President’s Inflation Reduction Act went to the Senate floor next, CNN reported. The Senate will pass the ground-breaking bill after staying up all night and into the early Sunday morning waiting until the GOP stops throwing amendments at it, which is called Vote-a-Ram a. Then Vice President Kamala Harris’ is holding herself available with her tie-breaking vote, which will mean a win for Democrats, according to The Washington Post: The Act includes lowering prescription drug prices until the GOP bullied it out, climate change measures, and more taxes for the rich. Imagine if the  Dems could put a lid on outrageous insulin costs at $35 per month. The vote is so close that every Democrat must sign onto it. Two senators have blocked the Inflation Reduction in its previous iterations, Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ). Changes were made to the bill prior to them coming onboard. Senate Majority Leader  (D-NY) continued: ‘I’m not voting for amendments. I’m trying to keep this bill clean and get it out of here. It’s too important.’ He stood on the floor calling this the I nflation Reduction Act “historic,” reported: ‘The time has come for the Senate to begin debate on this historic piece of legislation. The Inflation Reduction Act is a groundbreaking bill for the American people, for families struggling to pay the bills, for seniors struggling to pay for medication, for kids struggling with asthma.’ And he could not resist saying: ‘This is one of the most comprehensive and impactful bills Congress has seen in decades.’ So what does the Inflation Reduction Act do exactly? It: [R]aises approximately $740 billion in revenue by implementing a 15 percent corporate minimum tax, empowering Medicare to negotiate lower prescription drug prices and imposing a one percent excise tax on stock buybacks.’ Ever sensitive to the politics of the day, Schumer and Senator Manchin authored the bill.

" unreliable,"Hillary Clinton Heaps Praise On Joe Biden For Rescuing America There’s substantial progress unfolding in the push to make the U.S. economy better for the country’s millions of residents, and Hillary Clinton rallied Americans behind some of the recent success in a public statement shared via Twitter. “528,000 jobs in July and a 3.5% unemployment rate. A historic deal to reduce inflation, invest in health care, and tackle climate change with clean energy. The fastest decline in gas prices we’ve seen in a decade. Thanks, Biden,” Clinton . The deal Clinton referenced is a reconciliation package recently unveiled in the Senate, which scored the support at this stage of Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), a key moderate — without whom the initiative couldn’t move forward. (Another key moderate Democrat, West Virginia’s Joe Manchin, was already onboard.) The nature of the deal means Democrats can pass it in the Senate without needing a single Republican vote. As retaliation for the deal’s unveiling, GOP leadership in the House pushed Republicans to vote against legislative package providing support to the U.S. tech industry, but that bill passed — with dozens of Republican votes — anyway. 528,000 jobs in July and a 3.5% unemployment rate. A historic deal to reduce inflation, invest in health care, and tackle climate change with clean energy. The fastest decline in gas prices we've seen in a decade. Thanks, Biden. — Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) The unemployment rate that Clinton mentioned is of the lowest seen in over fifty years after dropping one-tenths of a percentage point from the unemployment level in June. With the number of jobs that U.S. employers added in July factored into the calculations, it’s now clear the country regained the jobs level seen before the major onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. The number of jobs added to the U.S. economy in July was significantly above economists’ expectations for the month and the number of jobs added the previous month, 398,000. The bill supporting the tech industry essentially amounts to another jobs initiative from Biden and Congressional Democrats. As reported here, it would provide tens of billions in subsidies in support of the U.S. production of semiconductor chips, which are a critical and widely used technological component, and some $100 billion in federal support for research and the development of new businesses in tech-related areas. Biden characterized the bill as set to bring down costs for items throughout the economy. Issues in obtaining necessary supplies of semiconductor chips were among contributors to the onset of recent high prices. In terms of supporting the U.S. job market, the bill broadly mirrors an initiative from the Biden administration and Democratic leaders that the president signed last year: the infrastructure package. That previous deal was slated to provide for years worth of projects around the country. Alongside a series of fact sheets outlining progress made in the implementation of the infrastructure deal around the U.S., the Biden administration : “The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is rebuilding our roads and bridges, replacing lead pipes to provide clean water, providing high-speed internet to every family in America, delivering cheaper and cleaner energy to households and businesses, and creating good-paying jobs.” There are detailed fact sheets available showing initiatives in what appears to be every U.S. state and territory, along with D.C. and indigenous communities.

" unreliable,"Latest Midterm Congress Polling Has Democrats Smiling & GOP In Panic from Monmouth University shows Democrats seven percent ahead of Republicans when respondents were asked about which party they’d rather see control Congress after the upcoming midterm elections. The Democratic lead includes those who picked the Democratic Party when initially asked and those from the originally non-committal group who went with the Democrats when asked a follow-up question. Overall, Democrats had 50 percent of the support, while Republicans had 43 percent. These numbers are exactly reversed from the results in Monmouth University polling from back in January. More recently (in June), both sides were tied in these Monmouth numbers. Counting just those who picked the Democrats or Republicans when initially asked leaves an apparently substantial portion without any initial preference, although Democrats still lead, with 38 percent of the support compared to 34 percent for Republicans. A full 12 percent of the overall total had no initial choice but leaned towards the Dems, and it was 9 percent of the overall total making a similar lean to the GOP. Democrats are seeing relatively positive poll numbers in key races in states including Pennsylvania and Georgia. from the elections data and analysis site FiveThirtyEight that relies only on polling data gives Democrats a 74-in-100 chance of holding the Senate through the midterm elections as of this Wednesday afternoon. (A version of the model with more elements factored into the calculations gives the Dems a 57-in-100 chance.) Democratic chances of holding control of the House are generally seen as less positive, although there’s obviously no way of telling exactly what’ll happen until it does. The Senate field has a new confirmed addition after Trump endorsement-recipient Blake Masters won the Arizona GOP primary for Senate on Tuesday. Generally speaking, incumbent Democratic Senator Mark Kelly is the favorite to win in this year’s Arizona Senate contest based on polling and other factors, although the race is still among the closer on the ballot this year. It’s certainly much closer than Senate races in California and Missouri. When asked in the new Monmouth polling to name a single issue from a list of choices as their most highly prioritized in the midterms, Democratic responses were relatively split, suggesting the broad ground on which Democratic candidates can campaign. A full 24 percent selected abortion, while 20 percent said climate change, 19 percent went with gun control, and 18 percent picked health care. Just this week, a bill was introduced in the Senate that protections for abortion originally provided by Roe v. Wade into federal law. It seems relatively clear an expanded Democratic majority — to the point of overcoming the filibuster — could restore national abortion protections. Concurrently, Republican majorities in both chambers would no doubt try and pass destructive measures like new federal restrictions on abortion. No related posts. " unreliable,"Obama Asks America To Unite Behind Biden During Passionate Remarks If there’s anyone who knows the struggle of rebuilding an economy left wrecked by a predecessor, it’s the president that Joe Biden served under as vice president from 2009 to 2017. President Barack Obama took to Twitter on Thursday to praise Biden and democrats in Congress for their progress on legislation that would help to address the rising costs of goods and services as a result of inflation in the aftermath of a global pandemic. In light of recent, hopeful news that Democrats have reached an agreement on bills to address inflation, some of which even had some bipartisan support, has been long coming for Biden and his allies in Congress. After numerous stops and starts on Biden’s Build Back Better Bill, legislation on climate change spending and the extended child tax credit, and others blocked not only by Republicans but by Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), who repeatedly refused to fall in line to vote with his party and help the American people through a difficult economy. One piece of legislation that was passed by the Senate with some bipartisan support was the , which would subsidize domestic semiconductor manufacturing and devote billions of dollars in investments for technological progress.

" unreliable,"'The Lincoln Project' Rips Greg Abbott For Being A Failed Governor The Lincoln Project has been critical of Texas’ Governor Greg Abbott (R-TX) for a number of political failures, including the failure of the state’s power grid. The group of Republican communicators turned Democrats have pointed to him approving neighbors becoming bounty hunters of young girls and women who may have had an abortion. And then Abbott did not bother to attend the funeral of any of the 19 fourth graders or teachers who died in the state’s most recent mass shooting. Mourners sweltered under a record-breaking triple-digit heat. Texans are certainly beginning to understand what The Lincoln Project has been pushing. Abbott is a failure. His opponent Beto O’Rourke is a winner: ‘Greg Abbott, more concerned with keeping his power than keeping yours on.’ Abbott did nothing to repair his state’s power grid as Texans continue to die under the vicious heatwave. This week, the manager of Texas’ grid Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) for “26 million customers or 90 percent of the state” called for customers to “voluntarily reduce electricity,” according to The New York Times. Texas has an independent power grid not affiliated with any other state. So there has not been the shared responsibility other states experience. Abbott could have started efforts to join the shared electric networks, but he has not. Instead, he urged Texans to hold their thermostats at 78 degrees. The purpose was to avoid rolling blackouts in the triple-digit heat before the grid reached its “maximum production capacity. And “slowed from all sources across the grid.” The same Texas power grid failed in February 2021’s “severe freezing and cold temperatures in an unusually cold snap.” Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) was caught heading out to warmer climes. And a little boy froze to death in his bed. The Texas Tribune reported that the independent electricity generators slowed and then failed.

He would not support funding climate change or taxing the very wealthiest people and businesses. The Democrats were furious with him, according to The Washington Post : ‘[M]arking a massive setback for party lawmakers who had hoped to advance a central element of their agenda before the midterm elections this fall.’ The environment continues to teeter as Abbott, Manchin, and others play politics with their constituents’ lives once again.

Tigar a set of substantial changes made by the Trump administration to the federal protections for imperiled animal and plant species contained in the Endangered Species Act. “Changes under Trump had made it easier to remove protections for threatened animals and plants, and allowed federal agencies to conduct economic assessments when deciding whether to protect a species from matters like construction projects in critical habitats,” CNBC explains. Performing an economic assessment when dealing with the question of imposing protections for particular species sounds like it could easily lead to business concerns getting in the way of environmental protection, depending on what factor is determined to outweigh the other. “It also removed tools that scientists used to forecast future damage to species from climate change,” CNBC explains of what Trump’s administration did. Eliminating that pathway for an analysis of potential future impacts on plant and animal species only further threatened the ability to actually impose key protections. Tigar’s move puts protections back in place for hundreds of species, according to CNBC’s report. Litigation over this issue has been unfolding for years, since groups including EarthJustice, the Sierra Club, the Natural Resources Defense Council and others brought a 2019 lawsuit against the Trump administration. A group of states led by California that case. That original case alleged Trump’s administration failed “to publicly disclose and analyze the harms and impacts of its rules” and violated provisions of the Endangered Species Act, . More recently, federal agencies in the Biden administration sought court approval for a plan in which they’d partly redo the challenged Endangered Species Act regulations but leave them in effect while that process unfolded, allowing for a routine-sounding review process. Those behind the original case weren’t in favor of the idea of waiting for the federal agencies at issue to go through a potentially lengthy regulatory process before the Trump-era moves were actually set aside. “The Court spoke for species desperately in need of comprehensive federal protections without compromise. Threatened and endangered species do not have the luxury of waiting under rules that do not protect them,” Earthjustice attorney Kristen Boyles said. Tigar cited the fact that federal agencies already indicated their intention to eventually make significant changes to the relevant policies in laying out his decision to go ahead and void the Trump-era moves. In revealing their intentions, agencies “put the public on notice that the regulations’ existence in their current form is unlikely,” as the judge noted. At this point, there’s a consistent record of key Trump admin initiatives getting set aside in court. on this site, a panel of judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit struck down Trump-era rules regarding the handling of emissions from power plants on January 19 of last year. The EPA “may not shirk its responsibility by imagining new limitations that the plain language of the statute does not clearly require,” that appeals panel concluded. Trump’s team apparently claimed a piece of federal law called the Clean Air Act left the EPA only able to impose regulations on power plants “that can be put into operation at a building, structure, facility or installation” rather than on a more expansive scale. Unfortunately, the Supreme Court subsequently took a contrasting approach in a more recent ruling. No related posts. " unreliable,"Mitt Romney Rips 'MAGA' During 4th Of July Statement Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) says that “America is in denial.” We know there are tremendous problems facing our great nation with Republicans trying to turn democracy into an autocracy and the Supreme Court (SCOTUS) trying to turn it into a theocracy. But it seems Romney means something beyond that. He said that we are facing cataclysmic threats and listed the biggest ones in his opinion piece in The Atlantic. He pointed to the “reservoirs and lakes of the West” drying up as we “keep watering our lawns, soaking our golf courses, and growing water-thirsty crops.” Then the former Massachusetts governor got around to a “former appellate judge” testifying that the “war for our democracy,” and Donald Trump’s failed January 6, 2021 coup were “genuine constitutional crises.” ‘MAGA loyalists snicker that he speaks slowly and celebrate that most people weren’t watching.’ So what is Romney’s answer to the “blithe dismissal of potentially cataclysmic threats?” He said: ‘The left thinks the right is at fault for ignoring climate change and the attacks on our political system. The right thinks the left is the problem for ignoring illegal immigration and the national debt. But wishful thinking happens across the political spectrum. More and more, we are a nation in denial.’ The Utah senator gave a few examples of drought and democracy denial. He even went after Trump, which can be deadly for Republicans, and said according to The Washington Post: ‘A classic example of denial comes from Donald Trump:  Perhaps this is a branch of the same delusion that leads people to feed money into slot machines:  Because I really want to win, I believe that I will win.’ Romney blamed “the usual gang of sophists, grifters, and truth-deniers,” sophists (philosophers or those with fake arguments) is not exactly the word most of us throw around the takeout pizza: ‘[But] If we continue to ignore the real threats we face, America will inevitably suffer serious consequences.’ He said we should emulate Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky: ‘[His] stunning —“I need ammunition, not a ride”—showed us what real character looks like.’ Trump’s Chief of Staff Mark Meadows’ top aide Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony in the midst of Republican potshots was stunningly courageous, too. The rest of the former top White House Republicans have not displayed that same courage. Romney struggles on to relate to Americans: ‘President Joe Biden is a genuinely good man, but he has yet been unable to break through our national malady of denial, deceit, and distrust. A return of Donald Trump would feed the sickness, probably rendering it incurable.’ And Romney also spoke about Congress: ‘Congress is particularly disappointing: Our elected officials put a finger in the wind more frequently than they show backbone against it. Too often, Washington demonstrates the maxim that for evil to thrive only requires good men to do nothing.’ The man who does not drink coffee may not be relating to most Americans.

" unreliable,"Obama Openly Criticizes SCOTUS & Rallies America To Fight Back Former President Barack Obama sharply criticized the U.S. Supreme Court this week to limit decision-making power about environmental pollution regulations at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). “No challenge poses a greater threat to our future than a changing climate. Every day, we’re feeling the impact of climate change, and today’s Supreme Court decision is a major step backward,” Obama said. “The 6-3 decision strikes a blow to the EPA’s authority to regulate power plant emissions—paving the way to dismantle some of the most impactful provisions of the Clean Air Act and limit our ability to reduce carbon pollution. Climate change is no longer just about the future that we’re trying to protect for our children or our grandchildren; it’s about the reality we’re living with now. That’s why it’s more urgent now than ever before that Congress pass [Biden’s] climate and clean energy investments.” See below: The Supreme Court took up the case — West Virginia v. EPA — to the surprise of observers including Biden’s administration, The Washington Post . The Biden administration apparently hadn’t yet proposed its own, comprehensive plan regarding the regulation of pollution from power plants after a Trump-era initiative in that area was struck down. The Supreme Court intervened anyway. “Capping carbon dioxide emissions at a level that will force a nationwide transition away from the use of coal to generate electricity may be a sensible ‘solution to the crisis of the day.’.. But it is not plausible that Congress gave EPA the authority to adopt on its own such a regulatory scheme,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote on behalf of the court’s six-member conservative majority, quoting a prior ruling. a blocked Obama-era framework to which the Trump team essentially responded with its own plan did, but the Biden administration — again — didn’t have a similar plan yet. “This court could not wait — even to see what the new rule says — to constrain EPA’s efforts to address climate change,” Justice Elena Kagan said in a dissent in the new case. The majority’s conclusion affects the administration’s ability to regulate pollution at existing power plants, the Post notes. The Trump administration, along with outlining a more limited plan to address carbon emissions from power plants, argued federal law restricted the EPA “to regulating emissions at a specific site instead of across the system, a restriction that has come to be known as “inside the fence,”” the Post reports. Trump’s team apparently claimed a disputed piece of federal law called the Clean Air Act left the EPA only able to impose regulations on power plants “that can be put into operation at a building, structure, facility or installation” rather than on a more expansive scale. A panel of judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit struck down the Trump-era rules on the last full day of Trump’s presidency — but earlier rules from the Obama era (which never took effect) were not activated to replace the discarded Trump provisions. The EPA “may not shirk its responsibility by imagining new limitations that the plain language of the statute does not clearly require,” that appeals panel concluded last year. The Supreme Court’s contrasting conclusions have sparked concerns about whether the court might undercut federal regulatory power in other areas. No related posts. " unreliable,"Man Who Denied Pelosi Communion Gets Snubbed By The Pope On Sunday, Pope Francis named a set of 21 new cardinals in the Catholic Church — and Salvatore Cordileone, the archbishop of San Francisco, is notably absent from the list, the Los Angeles Times . Cordileone recently targeted House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) over her support of abortion rights; the archbishop announced he’d block Pelosi from receiving communion in his religious jurisdiction. Bishop Robert McElroy of San Diego — who’s stated his opposition to using communion as an essentially political tool — was, however, included in the revealed list of incoming cardinals, although he ranks below Cordileone. In May of last year, McElroy said the “Eucharist is being weaponized and deployed as a tool in political warfare. This must not happen.” Now, he said he was “stunned and deeply surprised” by the choice to include him among new cardinals. In the past, McElroy has also questioned the level of focus from some interests in the Catholic Church on abortion — the “death toll from abortion is more immediate, but the long-term death toll from unchecked climate change is larger and threatens the very future of humanity,” he said in 2020. McElroy also co-signed a statement from bishops stating in part that the signatories “take this opportunity to say to our LGBT friends, especially young people, that we stand with you and oppose any form of violence, bullying or harassment directed at you… Most of all, know that God created you, God loves you and God is on your side.” Pelosi, meanwhile, publicly spoke out against Cordileone. On MSNBC, she brought up the fact it’s abortion rights supporters — and not, for instance, death penalty supporters — who’ve recently been prominent targets of conservative Catholic leaders. “I wonder about [the] death penalty, which I am opposed to… So is the [Catholic] church, but they take no action against people who may not share their view… So, we just have to be prayerful. We have to be respectful. I come from a largely pro-life Italian-American Catholic family, so I respect people’s views about that. But I don’t respect us foisting it onto others,” Pelosi said. After the San Francisco-area archbishop announced his block on Pelosi receiving communion, she partook of it at a Jesuit church in Washington. The state’s Cardinal Wilton Gregory has, like McElroy, been critical of pushes to essentially weaponize the availability of communion against pro-choice politicians. Under Pelosi’s leadership, the House passed a measure protecting abortion access called the Women’s Health Protection Act; that initiative has so far failed to move forward in the Senate, where Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) opposes it, meaning even getting over the chamber’s filibuster rules wouldn’t give the bill a majority. No related posts. " unreliable,"Latest Economic Report Defies GOP Prediction As Retail Sales Rise Even as Republicans continue opportunistically raising politically motivated complaints about high inflation — something President Biden and policy leaders around him are working to address, U.S. retail sales rose by 0.9 percent in April. The Associated Press this rate as “a solid increase that underscores Americans’ ability to keep ramping up spending even as inflation persists at nearly a 40-year high.” Higher sales of cars and electronics alongside more purchases at restaurants helped culminate in the April surge in retail spending, according to the Commerce Department. Adjusting for inflation does not eliminate the gain in retail sales, the Associated Press notes. Paul Ashworth, who serves as chief U.S. economist at the consulting company Capital Economics, sounded particularly optimistic. “Never bet against the U.S. consumer has always been a good adage… Despite the surge in prices weighing on their purchasing power, the U.S. consumer now appears to be single-handedly keeping the global economy afloat,” Ashworth told clients. Six months ago, I signed the historic Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and we’ve gotten right to work building a better America. We’ve announced over $110 billion in funding for projects in all 50 states to modernize our infrastructure. We’re just getting started, folks. — President Biden (@POTUS) Notably, new federal reporting also revealed a revised growth rate for March retail sales, which — although previously reported to have risen by 0.7 percent — were newly reported to have grown by 1.4 percent. The updated numbers mean spending also still rose in March after adjusting for inflation, signifying the relative strength of the economy — in stark contrast to the right-wing predictions that a Biden presidency would mean economic disaster for the country. Rising wages combined with have apparently contributed — no doubt in a big way — to the growth in consumer spending that’s been recorded. “In April, hourly pay for workers in restaurants, bars, hotels and entertainment industries — excluding managers — jumped 11% from a year earlier,” the Associated Press notes. “That’s above the 8.3% rate of inflation that month.” Figures covering broader portions of the economy still reveal growth — although in April, growth in average hourly earnings for workers other than managers didn’t outpace the inflation rate. Today, the percentage of people receiving unemployment insurance fell below 1 percent for the first time since 1969. America is back to work. — President Biden (@POTUS) Recent revelations from the White House showed unemployment in 17 states was apparently ever recorded there, while across the most recent reporting period as of May 20, not a single state apparently saw its unemployment rate rise. Among other steps to boost the U.S. jobs market, the Biden administration has presided over more than six months of the implementation of the expansive infrastructure spending bill Biden signed into law last year. Per the White House, the infrastructure package is “already creating good-paying, union jobs, helping fight climate change, advancing environmental justice, boosting domestic manufacturing, strengthening critical links in our supply chains, and ultimately lowering costs for working families.” Over $110 billion in funding has apparently been announced by authorities for over 4,300 specific projects tied to over 3,200 communities throughout all 50 states, Washington D.C., and Puerto Rico.

" unreliable,"Economic Report Shows Robust Job Numbers Despite Inflation Unemployment in 17 states is evidently ever recorded there, and across the most recent reporting period as of May 20, not a single state saw its unemployment rate rise. The figures provide conclusive evidence of economic success under the Biden administration’s leadership — right-wing predictions of some kind of economic meltdown in the event of a Biden presidency don’t reflect what’s actually happening. The states with record-low unemployment levels include Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. Biden remarked as follows: ‘This job creation is no accident – it’s the direct result of my economic plan to rebuild the economy from the bottom up and the middle out through the historic American Rescue Plan and a nationwide vaccination strategy. There is more work to do to build an economy that works for all Americans. Tackling inflation is my top priority. But we cannot lose sight of the fact that millions of workers are now able to better provide for themselves and their families and enjoy the dignity that a good-paying job provides.’ Under my predecessor, the deficit increased every single year. This year, we’re on track to cut the deficit by $1.5 trillion – the biggest one-year decline ever. It matters to families, because reducing the deficit is one of the main ways we can ease inflationary pressures. — President Biden (@POTUS) High inflation that’s recently been reported isn’t somehow simply the Biden administration’s doing — it’s been high around the world, not just in the United States, so the “Biden is causing inflation” narrative seems just obviously deceptive. In truth, the Biden administration has presided over months of the implementation of the sweeping infrastructure spending package that the president signed into law last year. This bill, hinging on plans for infrastructure development across the United States, stood poised from the very beginning to support the U.S. job market by boosting various critical projects. In summation, the infrastructure package is “already creating good-paying, union jobs, helping fight climate change, advancing environmental justice, boosting domestic manufacturing, strengthening critical links in our supply chains, and ultimately lowering costs for working families,” the Biden team recently . Six months ago, I signed the historic Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and we’ve gotten right to work building a better America. We’ve announced over $110 billion in funding for projects in all 50 states to modernize our infrastructure. We’re just getting started, folks. — President Biden (@POTUS) As for further specifics, “The Biden-Harris Administration has announced over $110 billion for the federal government, states, territories, Tribes, and local governments from formula and competitive programs that will change people’s lives for the better – improving roads and highways, rebuilding bridges, strengthening links in our supply chains like ports and airports, replacing lead pipes to deliver clean drinking water, building out high-speed internet, and more,” according to the White House. That money covers more than 4,300 specific projects involving over 3,200 communities throughout all 50 states, Washington D.C., and Puerto Rico. “Another nearly $100 billion in requests for information and notices of funding availability have been released,” federal officials say. It’s now been a little over six months since Biden originally signed the bipartisan infrastructure spending agreement. Today, the percentage of people receiving unemployment insurance fell below 1 percent for the first time since 1969. America is back to work. — President Biden (@POTUS) Heading into the midterms, what do Republicans have to offer? While the plan isn’t broadly endorsed by Republican leaders, one key Republican leader — Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), who runs the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) — that pushes the idea of raising income taxes on over half of America and, if put into practice, could threaten critical government programs like Social Security and Medicare by forcing key legislative measures to be routinely re-approved.

" unreliable,"Jeff Bezos Gets Fact Checked By Biden WH Over Rich Guy Lies Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has for some reason begun seemingly trying to make a splash on Twitter — and Biden administration deputy press secretary Andrew Bates rebutted some of Bezos’s arguments this week. Bezos complained about inflation — which has been high worldwide, not just in the U.S. — and Bates pointed out that it’s not a shock to see Bezos slinging opposition (in the form of inflation complaints) at the president’s agenda. “It doesn’t require a huge leap to figure out why one of the wealthiest individuals on Earth opposes an economic agenda for the middle class that cuts some of the biggest costs families face, fights inflation for the long haul, and adds to the historic deficit reduction the President is achieving by asking the richest taxpayers and corporations to pay their fair share. It’s also unsurprising that this tweet comes after the President met with labor organizers, including Amazon employees,” . Jeff Stein of The Washington Post  shared that statement from Bates in response to from Bezos in which he claimed the Biden team “tried hard to inject even more stimulus into an already over-heated, inflationary economy and only Manchin saved them from themselves. Inflation is a regressive tax that most hurts the least affluent.” Six months ago, I signed the historic Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and we’ve gotten right to work building a better America. We’ve announced over $110 billion in funding for projects in all 50 states to modernize our infrastructure. We’re just getting started, folks. — President Biden (@POTUS) Later on, Bezos responded to Bates’s remarks. “Look, a squirrel!” Bezos on Twitter. “This is the White House’s statement about my recent tweets. They understandably want to muddy the topic. They know inflation hurts the neediest the most. But unions aren’t causing inflation and neither are wealthy people. Remember the Administration tried their best to add another $3.5 TRILLION to federal spending. They failed, but if they had succeeded, inflation would be even higher than it is today, and inflation today is at a 40 year high.” Is Bezos really that mad about a socially oriented spending proposal that was meant to support Americans in need and advance efforts like fighting climate change? Inflation can be tied to various causes across the economy, such as high demand (although it’s not just individual consumers who exemplify demand — large corporations do as well) and impacts to supply — “Truck drivers, seaport slots and warehouse spaces are all in short supply, leading to costly delays and rising shipping rates for goods,” The Wall Street Journal (a generally conservative-leaning publication) recently . Under my predecessor, the deficit increased every single year. This year, we’re on track to cut the deficit by $1.5 trillion – the biggest one-year decline ever. It matters to families, because reducing the deficit is one of the main ways we can ease inflationary pressures. — President Biden (@POTUS) Russia’s invasion of Ukraine also stands to have a negative impact on global prices because of affected supply chains, although officials opposing Russia’s violence have worked on keeping price impacts low. Officials “commit to phase out our dependency on Russian energy, including by phasing out or banning the import of Russian oil,” G7 leaders . “We will ensure that we do so in a timely and orderly fashion, and in ways that provide time for the world to secure alternative supplies. As we do so, we will work together and with our partners to ensure stable and sustainable global energy supplies and affordable prices for consumers, including by accelerating reduction of our overall reliance on fossil fuels and our transition to clean energy in accordance with our climate objectives.” I think is mostly wrong in his recent attack on the Admin. It is perfectly reasonable to believe, as I do and asserts, that we should raise taxes to reduce demand to contain inflation and that the increases should be as progressive as possible. — Lawrence H.

" unreliable,"Democrat Flips Seat In Deep Red District, As Blue Wave Returns This year’s Republicans and Independents did not like their legislative representative candidate’s insensitive comments about sexual crimes. As a result, it appears that on Tuesday Carol Glanville (D) beat Robert (R. J.) Regan (R) in Michigan’s special election. This is how events unfolded. Even though the seat for the 74th District has always gone for the Grand Old Party, there was hope that the Democrat could pick it up after Regan’s repugnant rape comments. And that wish appeared to come true. Regan made the callous rape comment in March. He suggested that should a woman be raped, she should just “lie back and enjoy it.” The candidate also dove deeply into the conspiracy theory pond and expressed antisemitic views. But that was not all he did. Regan was also rooting for the Russians instead of the Ukrainians in their ongoing war, according to : ‘This May 3 we have a choice. Carol Glanville won 32% of the overall vote in the primary. Meanwhile, her Republican candidate backs the Russian invasion of Ukraine, believes both COVID-19 and climate change are hoaxes. He also personally attended the January 6th march in DC–which led to the attack on our capital and democracy.’ As a result, the Michigan Republican Party Chair Ron Weiser expressed his disapproval. However, the party chair made no mention of him withdrawing. Following the rape comment and the Democrat’s candidate’s primary win, Weiser released a statement that read, according to The Detroit Free Press: ‘Mr. Regan’s history of foolish, egregious and offensive comments, including his most recent one are simply beyond the pale.’ Although the race for the House seat has not been called, Glanville was ahead by 1500 votes late Tuesday evening. She was carrying 51 percent of the total votes compared to just 40 percent for Regan. There was an additional 7.9 percent for write-in voters. There have been four empty seats in the House until a special election could be completed for each of them. Glanville serves as a city commissioner and formerly was a teacher/administrator. Her website listed her priorities: The new representative tweeted her thanks to the voters: ‘West Michigan values of integrity, decency, and care for the common good won tonight. The people of the 74th District have spoken, and I hear you. We are united in fundamental ways, and I will take our values and concerns to the Capitol to affect positive change. Thank you!’ Glanville’s  campaign website reads: ‘My family was blessed to be in a community that loved its first responders. The care and outreach from the area citizens only pushed me to be a better officer and person. This community has made me realize that even after a rewarding law enforcement career, I am not done serving.’ Representative Andrea Schroeder (R) held the seat prior to her death from stomach cancer.

" unreliable,"Biden Cancels Destructive Trump Environmental Policy, In Win For Dems Despite seemingly endless GOP complaints, Biden’s administration is continuing to oversee the achievement of significant successes for the American people. Now, federal authorities have finalized a reversal of a move by the Trump administration that made the environmental impact review process around certain infrastructure projects less rigorous. Biden’s changes cover the implementation of a federal law known as the National Environmental Policy Act, which demands examinations of the potential environmental impacts of initiatives such as the construction of energy infrastructure. The Trump administration removed “many” projects from the required review process, The Washington Post , leaving many areas — and the people in them — more vulnerable to pollution. Trump’s administration also eliminated requirements for examining indirect environmental impacts of covered infrastructure projects, a requirement the Biden administration has apparently put back into place. This Tax Day and every day, I’m fighting to build an economy that rewards work — not wealth. — President Biden (@POTUS) Now, federal authorities will have to examine “how government actions may increase greenhouse gas emissions and whether they will impose new burdens on communities, particularly poor and minority neighborhoods, that have already faced disproportionate amounts of pollution,” the Post summarizes. The Trump administration originally undertook the regulatory changes that the Biden administration has now undone in the context of the consistent Republican ideological push for de-regulation in a manner that seems essentially purposefully ignorant of the possible consequences. Trump, of course, could barely be bothered to even acknowledge climate change while in office. In one particularly ridiculous moment among so many others throughout his presidency, he simply didn’t “believe” a report on possible negative impacts from climate change that his own administration produced. Under the Congressional Republican Tax Plan, 75 million middle-class families’ taxes will increase an average of almost $1,500 a year. Under my plan, no one making less than $400,000 will have their taxes raised. This Tax Day, the difference couldn’t be clearer. — President Biden (@POTUS) The Biden administration apparently initially laid out their proposals last October for the environmental rules changes that have now been finalized, and additional rules updates regarding the implementation of that federal law are on the horizon, the Biden administration says. As explained by the Post, “The statute is considered one of the nation’s most consequential environmental laws, one widely imitated by other countries.” The federal legal provisions at issue also include requirements for public input amid the review process surrounding potential infrastructure projects. The Post identifies the infamous Keystone XL pipeline, which never actually began operation, as among the proposed construction projects undercut by challenges brought under the provisions of that federal law, the National Environmental Policy Act. The Biden administration has balanced its push for environmental protection with continuing to support the American economy — something that Republicans like to act as though the president’s team isn’t doing despite continuing signs of economic improvement like falling unemployment rates. Unemployment is at 3.6%, down from 6.4% when I took office. The fastest decline in unemployment to start a President’s term ever recorded. — President Biden (@POTUS) On a note similar to this reversal of the Trump administration’s actions on the National Environmental Policy Act, the Biden administration to undo the Trump administration’s limiting of the waterways that were subject to federal oversight under the so-called waters of the United States rule, while, it would appear, working on certain updates to the relevant provisions. The Biden administration is also “directing federal agencies to ensure that new construction projects funded by the $1.2 trillion infrastructure package are made with U.S.-made materials,” . That expansive infrastructure spending law that Biden signed last year is poised to continue providing accessible work opportunities around the United States.

According to Reuters, the 45 individuals who’ve been ordered to imminently leave Poland are believed to harbor ties to Russian intelligence operations. Polish Foreign Ministry spokesman Lukasz Jasina explained that “in total, 45 people with varying diplomatic status… were ordered to leave the territory of the Republic of Poland within 5 days… Russia is our neighbour, it will not disappear from the map of Europe, but the aggression towards Ukraine proves that it is an unfriendly state, and even hostile to Poland.” BREAKING. Secretary Blinken: ""Today, I can announce that, based on information currently available, the U.S. government assesses that members of Russia's forces have committed war crimes in Ukraine."" — Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) One of those affected by Poland’s decision had apparently been given just 48 hours to leave the country. Apparently, the orders to leave do not affect everyone involved with Russian embassy operations in Poland. Predictably, Russian Ambassador to Poland Sergey Andreev has contested the allegations made against these 45 individuals, although he admitted that “they will have to go. This is a sovereign decision by the Polish side and they have the right to their own decision.” Poland — a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) — has been firmly on the side of Ukraine amid its ongoing war with Russia; many of the overall millions of Ukrainian refugees who’ve fled the country during the fighting entered Poland, which is also a member of the European Union. As recently , the European Union has ‘granted “temporary protection” to people who were permanent residents of Ukraine, giving them such things as rights to residency, access to the labour market, social welfare and medical care.’ ⚡️Bloomberg: Russia’s Central Bank governor tried to resign over war in Ukraine, Putin rejected.

Biden national security adviser Jake Sullivan responded to questioning on whether the president would push for the elimination of Russia’s membership in the group by asserting that Biden administration officials believe “that it cannot be business as usual for Russia in international institutions and in the international community.” The exact form that takes in this context remains to be seen.

Donald Trump made killing the plant a feature of his braggadocios tweets, crowing that he ended requirements for businesses to scale back their impact on the environment while climate change remains a looming threat, but someone who has a better grasp of science is now at the helm. Biden begins crackdown on power plant pollution with reversal of Trump stance on mercury — The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) A policy of Trump’s that declared the EPA unauthorized to pass requirements to limit mercury from power plant emissions was thrown out on Monday, allowing a move to curb greenhouse gas emissions and a number of other forms of pollution to go forward.

According to The Washington Post : ‘Biden has pledged , but his deputies may have to rely on their existing federal authority now that Sen. Joe Manchin III (D-W.Va.) has to provide utilities with incentives to transition faster to clean energy.

The toxin is linked to developmental damage in children. — The New York Times (@nytimes) These measures would not only protect the planet but would save the lives of those living on it. Mercury, when released into the air by power plants, can settle in water and be ingested by fish. Adults who then consume that fish can develop heart disease and younger children can develop brain damage.

They’ve been “silenced” by tyrannical liberals even though they serve in public office, appear frequently on right-wing news shows, and get op-eds published in major newspapers. Vaccine mandates are similar to the Holocaust. They’re “targeted” on social media for their “political” views, views about climate change, race, COVID-19, and school shootings – in other words, things that shouldn’t be political but are because the right takes every controversial view that comes around the bend because trolling gets votes. Dan Crenshaw says Marjorie Taylor Greene is running a “scam” to generate “campaign donations.” — PatriotTakes 🇺🇸 (@patriottakes) Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has been testing the waters of Twitter repeatedly to see what might actually get her banned for the past few weeks. She’s supported the people who attacked the U.S. Capitol Building on Jan. 6, 2021 and openly called for succession in an attempt to rally more attackers. However, it was her endless COVID-19 vaccine disinformation that finally got her personal account permanently banned from Twitter and now suspended on Facebook for 24 hours. How has Greene handled this ban so far? She’s been very, very busy yelling about her victim status to anyone who’ll listen, but especially to supporters who donate money to her political campaign. Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) pointed out the “scam” Greene is pulling on social media, saying that Greene had refused to vote for a bill to prevent “censorship.” Of course, businesses in the United States have the right to set their own terms and conditions and any argument in court that a Twitter ban violates First Amendment rights would fail miserably.

" unreliable,"Boebert Throws A Trashy Tantrum Over Marjorie Greene Tweet Ban When you politicize literally everything, you can insist that any criticism of your views is a political attack. The Right adopted this policy years ago, politicizing the coronavirus, climate change, homophobia, transphobia, racism, sexism, and every other issue that would lose rich, white people money. For Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), it meant getting her personal Twitter account removed for violating terms and conditions she claims are unfair. And her witless friends have come to support that crusade. Twitter suspended the Twitter account of the twice-impeached ex-president who lost the popular vote twice when he used their platform to incite an attack against the U.S. government. Greene’s personal Twitter account was permanently suspended (her government account is still up) for spreading dangerous misinformation about the COVID-19 virus and the vaccines that are saving lives around the world. Neither violence nor viruses should be politically divisive issues. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) is well-known for creating controversy, arming her small children with semi-automatic weapons for photos while families grieve the loss of their children to school shootings, dredging up the worst social media rumors about her political opponents to spout them on camera as fact, spouting racial and xenophobic stand-up acts to give her most horrid followers a good chuckle, and telling the world through social media the location of Speaker Nancy Pelosi while Congress was under attack. She’s insisted that being criticized for those moves is purely political and she says now that the consequences faced by Rep. Greene are political, too.

" unreliable,"West Virginia Paper Roasts Joe Manchin For Betraying Biden Agenda In published in The Charleston Gazette-Mail — a newspaper that serves the West Virginia of Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) — attorney, pastor, and interim Brandeis University vice president and chief diversity officer David Fryson tore into the disgraceful legacy of West Virginia’s only current Democratic Senator. Manchin has recently become known for his damaging blockade of key components of the Democratic agenda, including the Build Back Better Act, which he recently announced during an appearance on Fox that he would be opposing. If enacted, that bill would provide substantial tranches of federal support for initiatives like fighting climate change and improving health care access. There’s more to the Manchin story, though, as Fryson laid out. Throughout Manchin’s time in the public spotlight, he has undercut the Democratic Party in West Virginia. In one example, Manchin lost the 1996 Democratic primary race for the governorship of West Virginia to progressive Charlotte Pritt — and then, Fryson explains, Manchin, who was the then-Secretary of State in West Virginia, refused to support her. Instead, he supported Republican contender Cecil Underwood in a campaign season that featured “brutal attacks on Pritt, culminating in the defeat of the up and coming progressive and leading to the ruination of her political career,” More recently, Manchin threw his support behind Jim Justice’s 2016 Democratic campaign for governor in West Virginia, although Justice had just recently been a Republican… and not long after Justice took office after winning that election, he switched his party affiliation back to the GOP. As Fryson laid things out: ‘At some point those of us who voted for Manchin in the past have to realize that he only cares about creating wealth for his family and wielding personal power. History will not be kind to Manchin, no matter what he does in the future. The fact that he represents West Virginia, one of the poorest states in the nation, with some of the worst health outcomes that is being devastated by the opioid crisis and yet he does nothing to speak to these issues is shameful.’ I have to admit after years of living with the struggles that Manchin family caused families, it's gratifying to see catch a little hell. It's a shame it's just theatrics to cover up the deeper corruption that we all will have to deal with years from now. — Paula Jean Swearengin #PeoplesParty (@paulajean2020) Even more directly, Fryson added as follows: ‘Manchin is very powerful in West Virginia and in Congress, yet no one can recount any positives for the state that derive from his power. Yes, he has become a multimillionaire who lives on a boat, drives an expensive car and has a daughter who became wealthy on the backs of poor people, but what has he done for his poor constituents?’ It’s a question worthy of consideration — without an easy answer. Fryson summarized that Manchin “continually weakened West Virginia Democrats and has done the same to the national party and the Biden agenda to the detriment of the poor and marginalized in West Virginia and nationally. History will not be kind to the Manchin name.” Check out more Manchin is Manchin. But what kind of healthy democracy is structured in a way that can allow one man elected by 290,000 voters in one of the least populous states to thwart the agenda of his party and the President who was elected with 81 million votes. We need structural change. — Sherrilyn Ifill (@Sifill_LDF) No related posts. " unreliable,"Katie Porter Schools Joe Manchin For Betraying Voters Recently, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) announced during an appearance on Fox that he was a “no” on the Build Back Better Act, a monumental piece of legislation that, if enacted, would provide significant tranches of federal support for efforts like fighting climate change and improving health care access. Because of the close party breakdown in the Senate, Democratic leaders could not afford to lose a single vote and have the legislation still move forward — so for now, the bill’s future has been inescapably upended. Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.), often known as a voice of reason in the House, joined those criticizing Manchin for his antics. Manchin’s blockade of the bill is poised to have serious, real-world consequences. If passed, the legislation would have extended the expanded child tax credit, which was distributed to families across the country in monthly payments this year and helped support the needs of children nationwide. Now that the legislation, which included another extension, is not moving forward, the payments have ended. Porter ‘The Build Back Better Act is fiscally responsible legislation. We will pay an incredible price if we don’t lower the costs families face, including unaffordable child care, prescription drugs prices, energy, and more—and if we continue turning a blind eye to big corporations and the ultra-wealthy cheating our tax code… It’s no wonder why economists are cutting their forecasts for U.S. economic growth following Senator Manchin’s comments. The Build Back Better Act combats inflation and invests in what we need for a strong, stable, globally competitive economy. We must forge on for the sake of our economic recovery.’ Rep. Katie Porter: ""It's no wonder why economists are cutting their forecasts for U.S. economic growth following Sen. Manchin's comments. The Build Back Better Act combats inflation and invests in what we need for a strong … economy. We must forge on."" — Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) Biden administration press secretary Jen Psaki that federal officials would continue seeking to find ways forward for the policies. As she put it, the White House “will not relent in the fight to help Americans with their child care, health care, prescription drug costs, and elder care—and to combat climate change.” Seeking to pass certain policies essentially on their own, instead of tied to the other components of the Build Back Better agenda, could help ease the way forward — maybe. After a day of uncertainty, Manchin is, in fact, on the call with Senate Dems tonight as they discuss their path forward, per two sources familiar with the matter — Manu Raju (@mkraju) Meanwhile, Manchin is facing criticism from within his home state too. Recently, the Charleston Gazette-Mail — which serves Manchin’s hometown of Charleston, West Virginia — from a West Virginia resident who wrote that he was “sure Manchin’s industry and corporate backers were thrilled to hear Manchin’s Fox News announcement… But working families, children, the elderly, people with disabilities, people with black lung disease and those of us who understand the extreme urgency of addressing anthropogenic global climate change certainly are not.” No related posts. " unreliable,"Joe Manchin Roasted By Hometown Paper For Killing Biden Agenda Recently, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) announced that he was a “no” on the Build Back Better Act, despite having engaged in lengthy negotiations over the exact formulation of the legislation, which — if enacted — would support initiatives like fighting climate change and improving health care access. Manchin’s decision to oppose moving forward with the legislation means that, for now, it’s stopped in its tracks — because of the close party breakdown in the Senate, Democratic leaders could not afford to lose a single vote. The Charleston Gazette-Mail — serving Manchin’s hometown of Charleston, West Virginia — West Virginians who are getting left behind amid Manchin’s antics. Manchin’s blockade of the Build Back Better Act means that the expanded child tax credit, which was doled out in monthly payments this year to support certain families with children, was halted. (The bill, if passed, would further extend the credit.) As the Gazette-Mail explained things, the “lapse of the child tax credit, which was only worth up to $2,000 per eligible child and did not include 17-year-olds prior to 2021, is expected to have a disproportionately great impact on children in West Virginia — and the local economies that their parents support.” From the child tax credit payments, West Virginia obtained an increase in purchasing power as a portion of gross domestic product in the state that was among the highest of any state in the country. Meanwhile, the Gazette-Mail also noted how “West Virginia had the highest percentage of people with a disability under age 65, second-lowest median household income, third-highest percentage of people 65 years and older and fourth-highest percentage of people in poverty in 2019,” per federal data — meaning that the state stands poised to benefit to a substantial level from the provisions of the Build Back Better Act, if they’re enacted. The paper published a relatively comprehensive breakdown of certain key points in discussions of the bill, showcasing community members in West Virginia who’ve pleaded with Manchin to support the legislation. Those who spoke out in favor of the bill ranged from 75-year-old home health care provider Denzel Norwich to a woman named Holly Bradley who saw her and her husband’s income slashed by $1,000 a month but who was temporarily supported by the child tax credit payments. The Charleston Gazette-Mail, Joe Manchin's hometown paper: ""'We need this so bad': Build Back Better backers say bill would protect West Virginia's most vulnerable as Manchin resists."" — Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) That coverage seems to have been put together before Manchin’s announcement of his “no” decision on the Build Back Better bill, but subsequently, the same paper published another piece about this issue. This time, by West Virginia resident Eric Engle, who absolutely clobbered Manchin over the most recent developments. As Engle put it in that West Virginia paper: ‘I’m sure Manchin’s industry and corporate backers were thrilled to hear Manchin’s Fox News announcement. What a great return on investment. But working families, children, the elderly, people with disabilities, people with black lung disease and those of us who understand the extreme urgency of addressing anthropogenic global climate change certainly are not. This one senator, who represents just 1.7 million people out of 340 million Americans, is putting a stop to what over 81.2 million Americans voted for when they voted for Joe Biden.’ Engle added that observers “all know why Manchin is taking this stance. Manchin benefits to the tune of approximately $500,000 annually from his coal brokerage, Enersystems, a brokerage held in what is apparently a not-so-blind trust. Enersystems sells filthy waste coal to the Grant Town Power Plant, which the plant burns at an added cost to MonPower ratepayers like me of over $117 million in the past five years.” Read more .

Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), Democrats are not out of the running as the midterm elections approach. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), which is an official arm of the national Democratic Party that handles races for U.S. House seats, that it raised $12.6 million in November, has a full $73.8 million on hand, and has no debt — which is apparently the committee’s best November showing in a year without nationwide elections in history. Compared to November 2019, the committee has a staggering $26 million more on hand. Democrats are not giving up. Punchbowl: The DCCC raised $12.6 million in November and has $73.8 million on hand and no debt. The committee says this is its best off-year November in history by more than $3.6 million. They have $26 million more than they had on hand in November 2019. — Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) There’s a lot at stake. In the House, Democrats currently possess a slim majority, so flipping just a small number of seats could substantively shift the balance of power in D.C. Throwing in redistricting — and gerrymandering — makes the midterm elections even more precarious, since Republican state officials in certain locales have utilized the redistricting process to deliver a significant boost to their own party. , Ohio Republicans appear set to control somewhere around 80 percent of the state’s U.S. House seats with lines that the state’s Republican Governor Mike DeWine recently approved, although Trump won there in 2020 by a much smaller margin — meaning that the map doesn’t accurately reflect the political distribution of the population. After spending so much time working on exposing how Trump literally tried to end American democracy, it almost makes us yearn for the simpler days of telling people about how he was using the government as his personal piggy bank — Citizens for Ethics (@CREWcrew) A slew of lawsuits have already been brought over redistricting-related issues, but those can take significant lengths of time to play out. In the meantime, the Biden administration and its Democratic allies in Congress have been able to see through a substantial list of accomplishments — even if Manchin proclaimed over the weekend that he wouldn’t support the Build Back Better Act after all, despite participating in lengthy negotiations over the bill, which would support fighting climate change, improving health care access, and more. Rep. Adam Kinzinger to ABC on whether the committee will subpoena Trump: ""If we need it, yes. Nobody should be above the law."" — Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) White House press secretary Jen Psaki, these Democratic accomplishments include “the American Rescue Plan, the fastest decrease in unemployment in U.S. history, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, over 200 million Americans vaccinated, schools reopened, the fastest rollout of vaccines to children anywhere in the world, and historic appointments to the Federal judiciary.” These tangible successes could help propel Democratic candidates forward.

" unreliable,"Ilhan Omar Rebuts Joe Manchin's 'Bullshit' After Killing Biden Agenda Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) swiftly joined those speaking out against Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) this weekend after he announced during an appearance on Fox that he was a “no” on the Build Back Better Act. His announcement sent the legislation’s future into a nearly inescapable tailspin — because of the current party breakdown in the Senate, Democratic leaders could not afford to lose a single vote. The Build Back Better Act, as proposed and already passed by the House, would (if enacted) provide significant tranches of federal financial support for efforts ranging from fighting climate change to improving health care access. Manchin is Manchin. But what kind of healthy democracy is structured in a way that can allow one man elected by 290,000 voters in one of the least populous states to thwart the agenda of his party and the President who was elected with 81 million votes. We need structural change. — Sherrilyn Ifill (@Sifill_LDF) Omar commented as follows: ‘Let’s be clear: Manchin’s excuse is bullshit. The people of West Virginia would directly benefit from childcare, pre-Medicare expansion, and long term care, just like Minnesotans. This is exactly what we warned would happen if we separated Build Back Better from infrastructure.’ Let’s be clear: Manchin’s excuse is bullshit. The people of West Virginia would directly benefit from childcare, pre-Medicare expansion, and long term care, just like Minnesotans. This is exactly what we warned would happen if we separated Build Back Better from infrastructure. — Ilhan Omar (@IlhanMN) What Omar referred to was a prior push from progressives in the House to keep the bipartisan infrastructure agreement and the Build Back Better Act proceeding in tandem, so that one couldn’t be passed without a sure path forward on the other. The House ended up passing the infrastructure bill essentially on its own, and that piece of legislation has since been signed into law by President Joe Biden. Now, for going against the Build Back Better Act are wide-ranging, from concerns about inflation to claims that climate-related proposals in the bill would both essentially be redundant and push transitions to clean energy faster than would be secure. Oof, Bernie on Manchin: “I also find it amusing that Sen. Manchin indicates his worry about the deficit after voting just this week for a military budget of $778 billion, four times greater than Build Back Better over ten years and $25 billion more than the president requested.” — Andrew Desiderio (@AndrewDesiderio) The White House itself tearing apart Manchin’s claims. White House press secretary Jen Psaki, who was responsible for that statement, noted that, apparently within the last week, Manchin “came to the White House and submitted—to the President, in person, directly—a written outline for a Build Back Better bill that was the same size and scope as the President’s framework, and covered many of the same priorities.” Now, Psaki says, perhaps Manchin “can explain to the millions of children who have been lifted out of poverty, in part due to the Child Tax Credit, why he wants to end a program that is helping achieve this milestone.” An extension of the expanded Child Tax Credit is included in the Build Back Better proposal. Notably, Psaki ended the statement by saying that the Biden administration would keep looking for a path forward for these policy proposals. When a handful of us in the House warned this would happen if Dem leaders gave Manchin everything he wanted 1st by moving BIF before BBB instead of passing together, many ridiculed our position.

" unreliable,"White House Roasts Joe Manchin For Betraying America Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) dropped a big “No” bomb on the nation Sunday morning when he appeared on FOX News. With that, he is sinking President Joe Biden’s signature Build Back Better (BBB) bill. A bill to reestablish a healthy working and middle-class. You know, the ones the Republicans squeezed to death and gave the profits to the rich. The Democrats and President Biden have been in discussion with Manchin and Senator Kyrsten Sinema (D-WY) since early summer. Unfortunately, they not only disagreed with their party, they disagreed with each other. reported: ‘Just as Senator Manchin reversed his position on Build Back Better this morning, we will continue to press him to see if he will reverse his position yet again, to honor his prior commitments and be true to his word.’ President Biden and the Senate Democrats have negotiated and compromised again and again. This week they offered to delay this ever-important bill until 2022. Still Manchin publicly threw his vote into the gutter. But came riding in to save the day. In her rapid response statement, she wrote that his statement on FOX was “at odds with his discussions this week with the president:” ‘Senator Manchin’s comments this morning on FOX are at odds with his discussions this week with the President, with White House staff, and with his own public utterances. Weeks ago, Senator Manchin committed to the President, at his home in Wilmington, to support the Build Back Better framework that the President then subsequently announced. Senator Manchin pledged repeatedly to negotiate on finalizing that framework “in good faith.”’ The problem is that the Senate needs 60 votes on most bills, and every one of the Republicans is a “no” vote. Fortunately, Build Back Better c an go through on a reconciliation — if Manchin and Sinema are on board. The tweets flew in: ‘From the White House.’ Psaki continued, noting that the West Virginia senator and submitted an outline for BBB directly to the president: ‘On Tuesday of this week, Senator Manchin came to the White House and submitted—to the President, in person, directly—a written outline for a Build Back Better bill that was the same size and scope as the President’s framework, and covered many of the same priorities. While that framework was missing key priorities, we believed it could lead to a compromise acceptable to all. Senator Manchin promised to continue conversations in the days ahead, and to work with us to reach that common ground. If his comments on FOX and written statement indicate an end to that effort, they represent a sudden and inexplicable reversal in his position, and a breach of his commitments to the President and the Senator’s colleagues in the House and Senate.’ It appeared that the senator has been blaming his decision on inflation: ‘Senator Manchin claims that this change of position is related to inflation, but the think tank he often cites on Build Back Better—the Penn Wharton Budget Institute—issued a report less than 48 hours ago that noted the Build Back Better Act will have virtually no impact on inflation in the short term.’ This is what is in the BBB bill that is so all-important to American families: ‘Build Back Better lowers costs that families pay. It will reduce what families pay for child care. It will reduce what they pay for prescription drugs. It will lower health care premiums. And it puts a tax cut in the pockets of families with kids. If someone is concerned about the impact that higher prices are having on families, this bill gives them a break.’ Manchin claims he is worried about the cost. But as Psaki said. “The plan if fully paid for:” ‘Senator Manchin cited deficit concerns in his statement. But the plan is fully paid for, is the most fiscally responsible major bill that Congress has considered in years, and reduces the deficit in the long run…Senator Manchin knows that.’ So Manchin will have to explain to his voters why he took this from them: ‘In the meantime, Senator Manchin will have to explain to those families paying $1,000 a month for insulin why they need to keep paying that, instead of $35 for that vital medicine. He will have to explain to the nearly two million women who would get the affordable day care they need to return to work why he opposes a plan to get them the help they need. Maybe Senator Manchin can explain to the millions of children who have been lifted out of poverty, in part due to the Child Tax Credit, why he wants to end a program that is helping achieve this milestone—we cannot.’ Bernie Sanders (D-VT)  said on CNN’s State of the Union with Jake Tapper Sunday that most Democrats are for the American people. It would give $300 to help working parents, work on climate change, and reduce the high cost of prescription drugs. Sanders wants Manchin to tell his voters he voted for a different massive human infrastructure bill and a huge military bill this year. But the Vermont senator sai that Manchin “does not have the guts” to go against the lobbyists and big money people and vote for the most important bill of all.

" unreliable,"Manchin Gets Roasted During 'CNN Sunday' For Sabotaging Biden Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) — seemingly forever intent to make observers wonder why he’s even registered with the Democratic Party at all — announced this weekend that he was a “no” on the Build Back Better Act, a monumental piece of legislation that, if enacted, would provide support for fighting climate change, improving health care access, and more. Because of the close party split in the Senate — it’s 50-50, with Democrats in control only because of Vice President Kamala Harris’s role as a tiebreaker — Democratic leaders could not afford to lose a single vote, meaning that Manchin’s “no” announcement stood poised to sink the bill. MANCHIN PULLS THE PLUG ON BBB … WHOA … on Fox News Sunday: ""I cannot vote to continue with this piece of legislation. … I can't get there."" ""This is a no on this legislation."" — Jake Sherman (@JakeSherman) During CNN’s State of the Union over the weekend, Senate Budget Committee Chairman Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) put Manchin on blast for his cowardice. As Sanders pointedly put it: ‘I think he’s going to have a lot of explaining to do to the people of West Virginia, to tell them why he doesn’t have the guts to take on the drug companies and lower the cost of prescription drugs, why he is not prepared to expand home health care — West Virginia is one of the poorest states in this country. You’ve got elderly people and disabled people who would like to stay at home who are forced into nursing homes. He’s going to have to tell the people of West Virginia why he doesn’t want to expand Medicare to cover dental, hearing, and eyeglasses.’ Manchin is Manchin. But what kind of healthy democracy is structured in a way that can allow one man elected by 290,000 voters in one of the least populous states to thwart the agenda of his party and the President who was elected with 81 million votes. We need structural change. — Sherrilyn Ifill (@Sifill_LDF) Sanders also noted that Manchin would have explaining to do regarding his refusal to go along with the climate-related portions of the bill. Sanders added as follows: ‘What’s going on now in Washington is the big money interests are pouring hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars to make sure that we continue to pay the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs, that the rich do not start paying their fair share of taxes. I would have hoped that we could have had at least 50 Democrats onboard who had the guts to stand up for working families and take on the lobbyists and the powerful special interests… If he doesn’t have the courage to do the right thing for the working families of West Virginia and America, let him vote no in front of the whole world.’ In other words, Sanders still wants to hold a vote in the Senate on the bill, which already passed the House before now effectively grinding to a fatal halt.

Tucker Carlson, who leads one of the network’s most prominent shows, the fire as an “attack on Christianity” — which is just ridiculous. Still, Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy took outrage over the destruction of that large, fake Christmas tree to the White House briefing room this week, where he questioned Biden administration press secretary Jen Psaki about whether President Joe Biden found the fact that the arsonist who burned the tree was released from custody to be “good governance.” Biden has nothing to do with the law enforcement decisions of local authorities in New York City. Doocy just seemed desperate for some kind of confrontation, as though he hoped to elevate the tree incident to a higher level. After mentioning other criminal acts as well, Doocy commented as follows: ‘We’ve seen an arsonist burn down a half a million dollar Christmas tree in New York City — [and now they’re] back out on the streets. Does the president think that that’s good governing?’ Psaki replied with the following: ‘Again, I think I’ve spoken to the president’s concerns about retail theft and the actions we’ve taken. For specific cases, I would point you to the local police departments or the Department of Justice.’ She quickly shut him down.

Republicans, including Graham, have complained about the price of the proposals, and recently, those on Graham’s side obtained a so-called score from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) for the plan that was based on misrepresentations about the way that Democrats are approaching the legislation.

Speaking with reporters and referring to the figures that Republicans obtained, Psaki commented as follows: ‘This is not a CBO score. This is a fake CBO score. It’s not about the existing bill anybody is debating or voting on. This is about proposing the extension of programs, that has not been agreed to, without the commitment of the president, which he’s made repeatedly publicly, that he would never support extending these programs if they weren’t paid for, period. That has been his commitment; that is his commitment.’ Here's the Jan. 6 Select Committee report recommending holding Mark Meadows in contempt of Congress: The report details a Jan. 2 call with ""Trump and State and Federal officials to discuss overturning certain States' electoral college results.""  — Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) Psaki then went after Graham and other Republicans for their hypocrisy — they backed the tax cuts that Trump signed into law early in his time as president, even though the costs incurred by those measures in the form of lowered government revenue were not “paid for.” As Psaki explained the situation: ‘It shouldn’t be lost on Senator Graham; maybe it is lost on Senator Graham, I don’t know — that the plan they proposed and passed for and passed into law, the 2017 tax cuts, were $2 trillion, which were not paid for in any way, shape, or form. That didn’t seem to upset them at all. And I will say, and they can thank us in any way they would like for this, that what our projections and the projections of our economists project, is that for our plan, as this plan continues in the second decade, it would actually reduce the deficit by $2 trillion. So, we’re actually covering their irresponsible tax cuts to corporations and high net wealth individuals. They’re very welcome for that.’ Check out Psaki’s pointed comments below: Jen Psaki shreds Lindsey Graham and congressional Republicans for passing the Trump tax cuts and not paying for them and said that BBB cuts the deficit by $ 2 trillion so Democrats are covering Graham and GOP's ""irresponsible"" spending. — Sarah Reese Jones (@PoliticusSarah) Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) has also criticized Republicans in Congress for the so-called “fake” CBO score stunt. “No amount of partisan trickery from Republicans will change the fact that their tax cuts for the rich bill added nearly $2T to the deficit while Democrats are fighting to pass legislation to lower costs, create good-paying jobs and cut taxes for working families, while making sure the biggest corporations and wealthiest few pay their fair share.” Trump in Sept. 2016: ""The mob takes the Fifth.

" unreliable,"Chris Wallace Exposes Lindsey Graham's Hypocrisy During Interview On Fox News Sunday this weekend, host Chris Wallace — who happened to announce at the end of the broadcast that it was his last with the network and he would not be returning — posed a tough line of questioning to Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) regarding whether or not the sweeping tax cuts that then-President Trump signed into law early in his term were actually paid for, as has been claimed. The idea from Republicans who backed the tax cuts was that costs (i.e., government revenue losses) associated with the plan would be covered — but that’s not exactly panned out. Wallace and Graham discussed this matter in the context of debate surrounding the Build Back Better agenda, as it’s been called, which proposes sweeping financial support from the federal government for initiatives like fighting climate change, improving health care access, and more. Predictably, Republicans have complained about the cost — even as hundreds of billions of dollars get approved for military spending. As Wallace initially put it: ‘In 2017, President Trump [backed] and all Senate Republicans voted for the tax cuts then, that added $2 trillion to the economy. And in fact, you talk about budget gimmicks, it used the same budget gimmick there. For instance, saying that individual tax cuts were going to end in 2025.’ Wallace then shared a clip of White House press secretary Jen Psaki observing that the tax cuts enacted by Republicans in those early days of the Trump administration were not, in fact, “paid for.” The host asked Graham if Psaki “[had] a point,” to which the South Carolina Senator replied as follows: ‘No, not really. I like giving money back to the taxpayer. I don’t like spending more money than we did in World War II, and that’s what we’re doing right now. This bill, Build Back Better, is $5 trillion — it’s not $1.75 [trillion]. It will add $3 trillion to the deficit. When they tell you the bill is paid for, they’re lying.’ We applaud the Appellate Court’s decisive ruling, which respects the Select Committee’s interest in obtaining White House records and the President’s judgment in allowing those records to be produced. Our work moves ahead swiftly. We will get to the truth. — January 6th Committee (@January6thCmte) Wallace cut in, adding the following: ‘What Jen Psaki is saying and a lot of Democrats are saying is that when [Republicans] passed the 2017 Trump tax cut, that was a lie — it wasn’t paid for.’ Subsequently, Graham added as follows: ‘No, what happens is you can’t go beyond 10 years in terms of the budget window. We voted knowing that cutting taxes we believed would be good. I never said that cutting taxes — I voted for cutting taxes. I’m against expanding the government.’ Graham went on to continue trying to disprove Democratic claims about the cost of the Build Back Better agenda. He never came up with a perceptibly solid answer for whether the Trump tax cuts were actually paid for — instead, he opted for deflection.

Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) is remaining steadfast in her optimism regarding the future of the Build Back Better Act and voting rights negotiations in the Senate. That first piece of legislation constitutes a sweeping social spending package that stands to support improving health care access, fighting climate change, and more. , the bill includes “$555 billion for climate initiatives, $109 billion for universal pre-K, $150 billion for affordable housing and $167 billion for Medicare expansion,” among other provisions. The Biden admin is calling for oil and gas companies to pay more to drill on federal lands and waters, arguing the current 12.5% royalty rate — which hasn't gone up in 100 years — ""shortchanges taxpayers and States."" — Axios (@axios) On Sunday’s edition of ABC’s This Week , Klobuchar expressed confidence that the Senate’s negotiations over the Build Back Better Act would be completed by Christmas, preparing the bill for passage. She also indicated that so-called moderate Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) remains involved in negotiations surrounding the spending bill — and concurrent efforts to establish new federal protections for voting rights, providing a path for moving ahead. Democrats can pass the Build Back Better Act on their own in the Senate, but every Democrat — including the “moderates” — must be onboard. The more we learn about the build up to January 6th, the clearer Trump’s culpability becomes. — Citizens for Ethics (@CREWcrew) Klobuchar commented as follows: ‘We’ve got workforce issues, and that’s why this Build Back Better agenda is so important. We need people, we need kids to go into jobs where we have shortages. We don’t have a shortage of sports marketing degrees; we have a shortage of health care workers. We have a shortage of plumbers, electricians, construction workers. This bill puts us on the right path. Helping people with child care — a lot of people want to go to work, but they don’t have child care that’s affordable in their area. Or they’ve got aging parents that they have to take care of… We need to do something about immigration reform: also in Build Back Better. And finally, making things more affordable for families. That means bringing down the cost of prescription drugs. To me, that’s what we do about the problem right in front of us… have the backs of the American people. That’s our top priority.’ Pushing lies has consequences. The GOP has attached itself to Trump's bogus election fraud claims, leading to these conspiracies now becoming a part of the election playbook for many candidates. — Citizens for Ethics (@CREWcrew) Asked about Manchin’s expressed reluctance towards moving swiftly on that economic plan, Klobuchar said she expected negotiations to be concluded by Christmas and added as follows: ‘Sen. Manchin is still at the negotiating table, talking to us every day — talking to us about voting rights, getting that bill done, restoring the Senate. He is talking to us about this bill.’ Klobuchar also described voting rights as “fundamental to our country,” saying: “You see partisan gerrymandering going on, and what we’re talking about here is restoring the rules of the Senate so we can pass a bill that Sen. Manchin has signed his name onto, the bill I lead, the bill Sen. Schumer has been bringing people together on… the Freedom to Vote Act.” “Restoring” the Senate would presumably refer to changing the filibuster rules to make passing voting rights protections easier. Currently, the Senate’s filibuster rules require the agreement of 60 Senators in the 100-member chamber before moving forward on most bills. Watch Klobuchar on ABC below:   No related posts.

Before all of that, there was President Barack Obama, first lady Michelle Obama, and a presidential family who represented the country proudly and with grace. Happy Thanksgiving! Michelle and I send our warmest wishes to everyone celebrating today. We hope you have a wonderful and safe holiday with the people you love. — Barack Obama (@BarackObama) On Thanksgiving Day, President Obama shared memories of Thanksgivings during his family’s time in the White House, when the family volunteered to feed the hungry and to fulfill their roles in public service. The photo invoked happier memories of a time when Americans felt more hopeful about the future of the nation, with a president who cared about and chose to act against climate change, understanding it as an existential threat rather than a hoax started by China to dupe Americans into destroying their economy. It was a time when presidents talked about the spirit of America and how Americans shared a common identity instead of a president who called people losers and traitors if they didn’t like him. President Biden, both as Obama’s vice president and in his role as leader today, has called for American unity, just as Obama has. Those moments before we knew some of the worst that would come, will always be special to a country recovering from four years of negativity. Twitter was quick to join in the happy sentiments for Thanksgiving with President Obama. Read some of their comments below: No related posts. " unreliable,"Kyrsten Sinema Arizona Polling Shows Dramatic Popularity Collapse Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) doesn’t fare well in released this week showing the opinions of Arizona voters regarding her approaching shot at re-election. Asked whether they’d pick Sinema, another Democrat, or another Republican to serve in the Senate seat that Sinema currently holds, a whopping 72 percent of Arizona Democratic respondents in the survey opted for another Democrat. And it’s not as though Sinema could bank on support from Republicans to buoy her campaign, either: overall, just 26 percent of general Arizona respondents picked Sinema over another Democrat or another Republican. That’s less than a third. ExxonMobil calls Joe Manchin the ""kingmaker."" Wall Street calls Kyrsten Sinema a ""saint."" In case you were wondering who they really serve. — Robert Reich (@RBReich) Sinema has garnered opposition because of a growing list of issues, including her support for the filibuster as it stands in the Senate. The 100-member chamber’s filibuster rules demand the agreement of at least 60 Senators before moving forward on most legislation, and in practice, these requirements mean that most successful legislative pushes have to be at least somewhat bipartisan. Mitch McConnell, though, isn’t exactly known for being inclined towards bipartisanship in pretty much any respect — so Sinema’s stance on the filibuster helps solidify the standing of a power-hungry obstructionist in the Senate. Sinema has also drawn opposition for her advocacy against the originally laid out Build Back Better agenda, which involves socially oriented spending to support improving health care access, fighting climate change, and more. BREAKING: New polling shows that 72% of Arizona Democrats want Senator Kyrsten Sinema replaced in the 2024 election after she spent the last year obstructing President Biden's agenda and serving corporate interests. RT IF YOU THINK SHE MUST BE REPLACED WITH A REAL DEMOCRAT! — Occupy Democrats (@OccupyDemocrats) Although the sample sizes were on the smaller side, Democratic respondents in the new survey, which was conducted by OH Predictive Insights, also indicated that they’d support three possible Democratic challengers to Sinema by more than 20 percent over the Senator. Reps. Greg Stanton (D-Ariz.) and Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) each got 47 percent of voters’ support when pitted against Sinema one-on-one, while Sinema herself got just 25 and 24 percent of the support, respectively. Against Arizona public schools superintendent Kathy Hoffman, Sinema got 24 percent to Hoffman’s 44 percent. None of these numbers, of course, suggest that Sinema will have a particularly easy time cruising to re-election when she’s up in 2024. Brutal new poll numbers for Sinema. 🚨72% of Arizona Dems would back another Dem to replace her in '24. 🚨Only 26% of all voters would re-elect her over another D or an R. 🚨3 named D primary challengers would beat her by 20+ points.

But as Republicans complain, people’s lives are at stake. As Buttigieg put it, discussing vaccine rules for federal personnel: ‘Let’s remember what this is about, fundamentally, which is ending the pandemic. All of us are ready to be done with this pandemic, to be done not just with the death, and the hospitalization, and the grim headlines, but also to be done with the restrictions, and the requirements, and the masks. Putting all of that behind us means getting everybody vaccinated — that’s what these requirements are about.’ On Meet the Press, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg tries to tamp down the narrative of a rivalry between himself and VP Kamala Harris, telling Chuck Todd, ""No, because she & I are part of a team that is disciplined and doesn't focus on what's obsessing the commentators."" — DJ Judd (@DJJudd) Buttigieg also spoke about the bipartisan infrastructure deal that President Joe Biden recently signed into law. He commented as follows: ‘This is about making sure that America is competitive for the rest of this century. We are funding repairs that could begin almost immediately that mayors and states have been wanting to do for a long time, but we’re also building cathedrals here in terms of some of the bridge replacements, or major projects of national significance, or airport terminals, or other things that are going to happen over the years thanks to this generational investment.’ Transportation Sec.

The legislation constitutes a socially oriented spending package that contains provisions to improve health care access, fight climate change, and more. In the House’s version of the bill, features include a cap on insulin prices at $35 per month and an extension of Medicare benefits to cover hearing-related expenses.

" unreliable,"Obama Celebrates Biden Infrastructure Win With Saturday Message Former President Barack Obama took notice of the Biden administration’s infrastructure successes this week. On Twitter this Saturday, Obama shared a message wishing President Joe Biden a happy birthday and celebrating the steps forward that the Biden administration has taken for the sake of better infrastructure for the United States. Just recently, Biden signed the bipartisan infrastructure deal that was recently passed by Congress into law, setting up large quantities of federal financial support for improving the nation’s roadways, internet connections, and more. Alongside a photo of the two of them, Obama wrote on Twitter as follows: ‘Happy birthday to my friend and my brother, [Joe Biden]! Thanks for giving all of us the gift of better infrastructure. Grateful for all you’re doing to build this country back better.’ Happy birthday to my friend and my brother, ! Thanks for giving all of us the gift of better infrastructure. Grateful for all you’re doing to build this country back better. — Barack Obama (@BarackObama) The New York Times after Biden signed the bipartisan deal into law that some “of the first bursts of spending will go toward areas that Mr. Biden prioritized in negotiations, such as tens of billions of dollars to improve access to broadband internet and to replace hazardous lead drinking pipes,” adding that spending had “already been announced to help clear backlogs at the nation’s ports.” Those backlogs already led overeager Republicans to proclaim that the upcoming holiday season would be marked by “Biden’s blue Christmas” because of supply chain issues involving holiday-related items.

Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) for his vapid, hours-long speech from the preceding night against the Build Back Better Act, which the House passed early on Friday. The Build Back Better Act is a socially oriented spending package that includes support for improving health care access, fighting climate change, and a whole lot more — which Trump collectively as “Communism” in a Friday statement, showing just how devoid of basic competency that the ex-president and his cronies remain. Lowering the price of insulin (alongside other provisions of the bill) is not Communism! Sweet Lord he has no idea what communism is, does he? — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) As for his own remarks, McCarthy was all over the place. As reporter Andrew Solender, the speech touched on topics including “drug trafficking – immigration – Elon Musk – Defund the police – 2021 local elections – Biden’s meeting [with Chinese President] Xi [Jinping] – Covid origins – Hypersonic missiles – Afghanistan”… and it went on from there. McCarthy the beginnings of his attachment to the Republican Party, McDonald’s still had a dollar meal, and the fact that Trump hasn’t won a Nobel Prize, among a longer, disjointed list.

For those of you who didn’t watch all of it, he mused about, he shared his wish that he could have been in Tiananmen Square. He mused about whether or not Abraham Lincoln was actually assassinated. He shared his hope, or his thought, or dream — I’m not sure — about picturing America in a swim meet after World War II against every other country. But in eight and a half hours, what he did not talk about was cutting the cost of child care, cutting the cost of elder care, what we are going to do around the country to bring more women into the workforce, to protect our climate for generations to come. That, in our view, tells you all you need to know about Kevin McCarthy’s agenda and what he supports.’ It’s true — McCarthy designed his initially never-ending speech to delay the passage of a bill containing promises of substantial, uplifting benefits for the American people.

" unreliable,"Trump Spazzes Out On Mitch McConnell For Helping Biden Agenda On Friday morning, the House successfully passed the Build Back Better Act, a monumental piece of socially oriented spending legislation that would provide support for improving health care access, fighting climate change, and more. The legislation isn’t law yet — it still has to go through the Senate before an eventual signature by President Joe Biden — but former President Trump is already freaking out. In a Friday statement, Trump placed responsibility for stopping the Build Back Better Act on Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who he harangued for supporting a temporary extension of the debt ceiling earlier this year. The debt ceiling refers to the legally allowable limit for borrowing by the U.S. government in order to pay for previously authorized spending. a Treasury Department webpage, the debt limit “is the total amount of money that the United States government is authorized to borrow to meet its existing legal obligations, including Social Security and Medicare benefits, military salaries, interest on the national debt, tax refunds, and other payments.” In his angry Friday statement, Trump suggested holding the debt limit hostage — and refusing to extend it — as leverage against the Build Back Better agenda. As Trump put it: ‘Looks like the Democrats are getting far more than they ever dreamed possible, largely because of Mitch McConnell’s idiotic move of giving in on the Debt Ceiling and giving them two months to get their act together. They are destroying our Country! We have been put in a much worse negotiating position, but we have the “Trump Card,” and it’s called the Debt Ceiling. If they don’t drop this horrendous, Communistic style Bill that will be ruinous to all we stand for as a Country, we should not approve a Debt Ceiling increase. The Old Broken Crow has to be willing to play this hand, not like last time when he folded up like a cheap umbrella.’ Trump added that “the Debt Ceiling is far less destructive than the Bill that they will otherwise successfully pass” — although that same Treasury Department webpage explained how failing to increase the debt limit “would cause the government to default on its legal obligations – an unprecedented event in American history,” which “would precipitate another financial crisis and threaten the jobs and savings of everyday Americans – putting the United States right back in a deep economic hole, just as the country is recovering from the recent recession.” To be clear, Trump is insisting upon taking the extreme measure of pushing the country closer to that potential catastrophe in an effort to subvert a bill that (in the House’s version) would, among other components, establish a universal pre-kindergarten program and of insulin at $35.

The House’s version of the bill would of insulin at $35 a month, extend Medicare benefits to cover hearing-related expenses, and more — and it’s this piece of substantively uplifting legislation that McCarthy decided to spend his night publicly rambling against. Amid his sprawling remarks, the team of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) sent out a couple of statements shredding his antics. What’s in Build Back Better for health care – Capping insulin at $35/month – Capping seniors’ out-of-pocket drug spending at $2,000/yr – Medicare drug-price negotiations – Expanding Medicare to cover hearing benefits – Boosting ACA subsidies – Closing Medicaid gap in 12 states — Dan Diamond (@ddiamond) , Pelosi’s team asked the simple yet scathing question: “Is Kevin McCarthy OK?” That particular statement included a rundown of befuddled reactions from reporters to McCarthy’s sprawling rant, and alongside that list, it read as follows: ‘We’re glad we’re not the only ones who can’t follow Minority Leader McCarthy’s meandering rant that has nothing to do with the Build Back Better Act. Tonight, Kevin McCarthy previewed Republicans very best attacks against the deficit reducing, inflation crushing Build Back Better Act. As he hopefully approaches the end, we’re all left wondering: does Kevin McCarthy know where he is right now?’ Pelosi's latest press release: ""Is Kevin McCarthy OK?"" — Andrew Solender (@AndrewSolender) Eventually, McCarthy stopped talking — after more than eight hours. He didn’t really accomplish anything substantive with his speech… early Friday morning, the House passed the Build Back Better Act, just as it had been set to do before. from the Pelosi team, they provided fact-checks of claims from the GOP leader. Specifically, they tore apart his insistence that Americans aren’t actually on-board with the provisions of the Build Back Better Act. As that statement put it: ‘During this evening’s temper tantrum, Minority Leader McCarthy did everything he could to avoid talking about the deficit reducing, inflation crushing Build Back Better Act.  But he did make unhinged claims about what the American people “ .” We figured he could use a fact check … 88 percent of Americans support Build Back Better’s measures to cut prescription drug prices… 84 percent of Americans support Build Back Better’s provisions to lower health insurance premiums… 73 percent of Americans support Build Back Better’s funding for paid family leave… 72 percent of Americans support Build Back Better’s creation of clean energy jobs to combat climate change… 67 percent of Americans support Build Back Better’s funding for universal pre-K.’ Pelosi's office sends out a press release near the 2-hour mark of McCarthy's speech calling it a ""temper tantrum"" — Andrew Solender (@AndrewSolender) “House Democrats are preparing to pass landmark legislation to lower costs, fight inflation and make big corporations and the wealthiest pay their fair share,” the statement added. “But McCarthy is welcome to keep getting facts wrong on the House Floor.” Certain observers saw McCarthy’s stunt — which he orchestrated to go on for longer than a speech by Pelosi that had set the record for the longest speech in modern history on the House floor — as an attempt to ingratiate himself with the Trump wing of the GOP (which is almost all of it). But as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) put it, “McCarthy may have been auditioning for his base, but he was not auditioning for any sort of respect.” “McCarthy may have been auditioning for his base, but he was not auditioning for any sort of respect,” tells me of McCarthy’s speech. “I think he wanted to say he did it longer than Nancy Pelosi, but if he wanted to out-do her, he should’ve done it in stilettos.” — Andrew Solender (@AndrewSolender) No related posts.

The prominent Republican orchestrated his remarks to go longer than a speech given by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who’d set the record for the longest continuous House speech in modern history. Pelosi’s record-breaking speech had been in support of “Dreamers,” meaning undocumented immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children. McCarthy’s speech, in contrast, was meant to stall the passage of a bill containing tangible assistance for struggling Americans. There’s a big difference. USA Today , the Build Back Better legislation also features provisions including “Universal preschool to cover more than 6 million three- and four-year olds,” “An extension of the child tax credit through 2022 at $300 a month for each child under the age of 6 and $250 a month for each child ages 6-17,” the “Creation of a Civilian Climate Corps to fight the effects of a warming planet,” and much more.

Later, McCarthy spoke for over eight hours straight in opposition to the Build Back Better Act, a socially oriented spending package with provisions to improve health care access, fight climate change, and more. Ocasio-Cortez rhetorically clobbered him on both fronts.

Instead, Gosar self-confidently the video “directly contributes to the understanding and the discussion of the real-life battle resulting from this administration’s open border policies” — which has got to be one of the most laughably self-righteous defenses imaginable for such a video. Gosar has that he does “not espouse violence or harm towards any Member of Congress or Mr. Biden,” although such violence is literally what was shown in the video, which also depicted Gosar wielding swords against President Joe Biden.

How many times did we hear that this is “infrastructure week?” It felt like every week during the past administration and thus, became a running joke, because nothing happened.

" unreliable,"'The Lincoln Project' Marks The Anniversary Of Trump's Defeat With Viral Video This Saturday is the first anniversary of the day when most observers in the national media called the 2020 presidential race for Joe Biden, leading to impromptu street celebrations around the country. Over the weekend, the anti-Trump conservative group known as The Lincoln Project shared a video commemorating the occasion and the new dawn for the United States that the moment represented. Although Trump continues to talk a big game — and continues to spread the brazen lie that he was the rightful winner of that election — the fact of the matter is that he lost, by millions of votes. Very serious threats remain, but Trump has been trounced — for now. In the Lincoln Project video, a narrator says as follows: ‘The end is coming — the end of the noise and lies. The end to the chaos and division. The end of the hate. In its place, a new America is ready to stand tall again, ready to restore the goodness in the heart of our nation. Ready to put people before politics. Ready to lead, to innovate, to grow, to heal. It won’t always be easy… But that new day is coming… That day is coming because of your hard work, your commitment, your energy and passion. That day is coming because of your vote.’ Watch below: One year ago, the dawn broke. — The Lincoln Project (@ProjectLincoln) Just last week, the Biden administration scored a significant victory with the passage by the House of a bipartisan infrastructure agreement, providing about a trillion dollars in support of the infrastructure needs of the United States. The New York Times , the plan — which was left ready for Biden’s signature after the House vote, since the Senate already approved it — “will provide $550 billion in new funds over 10 years to shore up roads, bridges and highways, improve internet access and modernize the nation’s power grid. The measure also includes the United States’ largest investment to prepare for climate change: $50 billion to help communities grapple with the devastating fires, floods, storms and droughts that scientists say have been worsened by global warming.” That’s a marked change from the Trump era, when Trump tried and failed to oversee the enactment of any major infrastructure plan.

That deal also had the support of 19 Republican Senators, and it ultimately provides funding for initiatives like shoring up the nation’s roadways and the like — and yet, Greene proclaimed that the infrastructure bill was part of Biden’s “Communist takeover of America via so-called infrastructure.” Honestly, how inept really is she? Does Greene have any meaningful understanding of what Communism is? Does she understand what infrastructure is? Does she get that the two have no meaningful connection at all in this context? As Kinzinger put it: ‘Infrastructure=communism is a new one. Eisenhower’s interstate system should be torn up or else the commies will be able to conveniently drive! Red Dawn in real life… Also I’m assuming that the “Republicans” being in quotes implies that if you don’t believe in Jewish space lasers, and believe in roads, you aren’t a real Republican… But toss funding for the Countering Jewish Space Laser (CJSP) program in there and she’d be a big yes.’ One of Greene’s more infamous conspiracy theories involves belief in the possibility that space lasers with connections to the prominent and wealthy Jewish family known as the Rothschilds could have been responsible for wildfires in California. Obviously, such is utter nonsense — but the fact that someone who is now a member of Congress ever entertained the idea aptly shows how far off base that she really is.

It also includes other provisions.

" unreliable,"Protesters Boldly Confront Joe Manchin For Obstructing Biden Agenda On Thursday, activists affiliated with the environmental advocacy group known as the Sunrise Movement confronted Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) after he disembarked from his yacht on his way to the Capitol. The activists showed up in protest of Manchin’s consistent obstruction of the Build Back Better framework, which consists of trillions in proposed spending, including investments in fighting climate change. Although Democrats could pass the framework on their own because of the exemption of certain budget-related bills from the Senate’s filibuster rules, Manchin has been among the few opting to stand in the way. The environmental activists who confronted Manchin chanted “We want to live!” and displayed a banner stating that Manchin is “killing our future for profit.” Although the plan remains under development ahead of potentially imminent votes in Congress, a more moderate version recently unveiled by President Joe Biden still included some $555 billion in what The Wall Street Journal “clean energy and climate investments.” That includes “$320 billion in 10-year expanded tax credits for utility-scale and residential renewable energy, transmission, electric vehicles and clean energy manufacturing,” the Journal explains. The urgency of fighting climate change could hardly be overstated as climate-related disasters continue to unfold around the country and world — but Manchin has nonetheless not been moved to action.

" unreliable,"Obama Rallies Democrats Nationwide To Stop GOP & Save Democracy Although it’s an off-year — of sorts, states around the country were set to see the conclusions of very significant races on Tuesday. Among the most prominent examples was the Virginia governor’s race, in which Democrat (and former governor) Terry McAuliffe was running against Republican nominee Glenn Youngkin for the state’s top job. Ahead of Election Day, polls indicated the race to be close — FiveThirtyEight’s of surveys put Youngkin ahead by a small margin, even though Virginia has leaned towards the Democrats in recent elections. (The last Republican presidential nominee to win there was George W. Bush.) Former President Barack Obama encouraged voters to show up and vote on Tuesday. The former president commented as follows: ‘Today is Election Day, and so much of what we care about is on the ballot––from access to health care to bringing our economy back from COVID-19 to combating climate change. We need everybody going out to vote. So make a plan to vote, and make your voice heard. Visit to find your polling location. And if you have any questions, call the voter hotline at 833-336-8683. — Barack Obama (@BarackObama) Other states also had high-profile elections on Tuesday, like the governor’s race in New Jersey, but there, Democratic incumbent Phil Murphy has consistently led in recent surveys. The last Republican presidential nominee to win New Jersey was Ronald Reagan, although the state has had a Republican governor much more recently than that. Still, the tilt of that particular race seemed pretty obvious heading into Tuesday. In Virginia, McAuliffe’s campaign has ran with the support of prominent Democrats ranging from voting rights activist and former Georgia state legislator Stacey Abrams to President Joe Biden himself. In recent remarks on McAuliffe’s behalf, Abrams laid out what’s at stake, as follows: ‘If you want to figure out what could happen to you in 9 days if you don’t get out and vote, pick up a newspaper that talks about Georgia. If you want to know what happens in 9 days, if we don’t get out and vote, look at what’s happening in Texas. If you want to know what happens to Virginia, if we don’t vote, if you don’t turn out on November the 2nd, then remember what you felt like in November of 2016.’ In addition to other issues, in both Texas and Georgia, Republican leaders on the state level have recently imposed draconian restrictions on the electoral process.

" unreliable,"Biden Apologizes To World At UN For Trump's Reckless Misconduct President Joe Biden world leaders this week for the decision by former President Donald Trump to withdraw the United States from the Paris climate accord, which Biden has since rejoined. Trump, like other Republicans, has consistently downplayed the threat of climate change, even as climate change-related disasters unfold around the country and world. Biden made his remarks on the matter at a United Nations-tied summit on climate issues. As Biden put it: ‘I guess I shouldn’t apologize, but I do apologize for the fact the United States in the last administration pulled out of the Paris accords and put us sort of behind the eight ball a little bit.’ Biden added as follows: ‘The United States, if I have anything to do with it, will do our part. Our success in my view hinges on our collective commitment to ramping up our momentum and strengthening our climate ambition.’ Biden added at another point that there’s “no more time to hang back or sit on the fence or argue amongst ourselves. This is the challenge of our collective lifetimes. The existential threat to human existence as we know it.” Tell that to Republicans, who seem far more interested in focusing on nonsensical “culture war” issues instead of engaging with matters in which substantively constructive developments can be obtained for the American people. Trump explicitly said in a that a chief concern of public figures should be dealing with the supposed election-rigging of 2020 — not fighting hunger, or lifting people out of poverty, or getting unhoused people into homes. Nope — Trump’s focused on imaginary election-rigging and demands the same of those who hope to be acolytes. It’s a disgrace. In contrast, Democrats have included spending to combat climate change in the sweeping social spending proposal that’s currently under development on Capitol Hill and could pass in coming weeks.

Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) — a longtime member of Congress and a current vice chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus — backed the removal of Sens. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) and Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) from Congress in the event that they derail a certain key component of the Democratic agenda. At present, Manchin and Sinema have been impeding progress on a spending plan worth trillions of dollars that would support a raft of critical social initiatives, from fighting climate change to making health care more accessible. Because of the exemption from the Senate’s filibuster rules provided to certain budget-related bills, Democrats could pass the plan on their own — leaving Manchin and Sinema among those most chiefly to blame for the hold-up. Complaints from Manchin and Sinema have varied, but their obstruction has already had substantial effects with no immediate sign of the developments getting reversed. A plan for universal paid family leave for Americans, which would allow new parents a chance to take care of their new children without potentially jeopardizing their employment, was removed from the bill amid Manchin’s opposition. Although Democrats can pass the agenda — in whatever form that it ends up taking — on their own, they can not afford to lose a single vote in the Senate, meaning that Sinema and Manchin must be on-board. Schakowsky commented as follows, referring to the two Senators: ‘If we can’t get some sort of a commitment from them, then I don’t see how we can move this process forward. They are the ones [in the way] — I don’t want to hear about progressives being blamed, or Democrats being blamed for stalling this. There are two people right now in the Senate — if they make a commitment, we’re on.’ Asked about what she wants to see unfold with Manchin and Sinema’s political position if the plan fails to materialize, the Congresswoman added the following: ‘I think they’re going to be up for elections before too long… I think that the voters ought to say, enough games, we’ve had enough of you, and to look for other employment.’ Asked for clarification whether she thinks they should “lose their seats,” Schakowsky indicated that yes, she does.

Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) got rhetorically smacked down during a House Intelligence Committee hearing on Wednesday after he self-confidently complained about a supposed “infatuation with left-wing dogma” on the part of the intelligence community. Specifically, Nunes whined about what he called the “proliferation of seminars given to military service members focusing on the dangers of white supremacy and systemic racism,” the release by the intelligence community of a report on “global warming,” efforts by the State Department to uplift LGBTQ individuals, and more. The problem is, though, that these issues and efforts are connected to the basic reality in which the United States has found itself. Does Nunes seriously want to pretend as though climate change doesn’t have national security ramifications? Does he want to convince observers that “seminars” against white supremacy are… a bad thing? Besides the ideology itself, white supremacy is connected to decades upon decades of real-world instances of violence throughout the modern world. It’s clearly a national security issue. Nunes self-confidently asserted that the “international threat matrix does not take time out as our national security agencies become enthralled by critical race theory and pronoun etiquette.” He added that he would “argue that woke obsessions are the proper jurisdiction of faculty lounge Marxists, not our national security agencies,” insisting that the “effectiveness of these organizations will unavoidably suffer when merit is devalued in favor of any other consideration.” His idea would be that proactively trying to bring marginalized communities into the metaphorical — or literal — room is distracting from the true mission. Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.) took on Nunes’s remarks in a follow-up. As he put it: ‘I’m going to bring the conversation back to the reason that we’re here. Why are we here? Is this some scratching of a faculty lounge itch, as the ranking member suggests? Is this some effusion of white, liberal guilt? It is not. It is not. We are here because our responsibility — our duty — is to field the most competent, capable, and lethal national security team we can. A generation ago, the CIA was mocked for being, ‘pale, male, Yale.’ Now, maybe you believe that an [intelligence community] comprised of white males is the result of a perfectly meritocratic system.

Democratic leaders have put forward plans for trillions of dollars in new spending that would support initiatives ranging from fighting climate change to lowering prescription drug prices, but Sinema — alongside fellow so-called “moderate” Sen. Joe Manchin (D-Ariz.) — has resisted key elements of the proposal. She has also resisted raising taxes on high earners to help pay for the proposals. On Fox, Khanna asked why Sinema would be opposed to such increases, even though they reflect a return to certain norms from the time before the Trump tax cuts were put into place. These tax cuts favored high earners. As Khanna put it: ‘My question for Sen. Sinema is, she voted against the Trump tax cuts, and I just don’t understand why she’s not willing then to raise some of the rates back to what they were before the bill she voted against.

I think they support the President’s agenda, and they hope that she will, in the end, support the President’s agenda, pass reconciliation — the Build Back Better agenda.’ “Reconciliation” refers to the originally $3.5 trillion spending package, which can be passed through a Senate procedure known as budget reconciliation, which means that it would be exempt from the filibuster rules’ requirement for the agreement of 60 Senators in the 100-member chamber before moving forward on most bills. Because of the current party breakdown in the Senate, passing the plan through budget reconciliation would mean that not a single Republican vote would be needed. Thus, Sinema isn’t helping bridge some looming gap with Republicans via her insistence on negotiating the size of the plan down — she’s standing in the way essentially on her own (alongside West Virginia Democratic Senator Joe Manchin). Asked about potentially challenging Sinema in a Democratic primary, Gallego added as follows: ‘For me, all I care about is what happens between now and 2022.

Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) faced criticism from in his hometown paper after his opposition to certain climate change-related components of a sweeping spending proposal resulted in their removal from the developing plan. Thanks to the current party breakdown in the Senate and the fact that certain spending-related proposals are exempt from the Senate’s filibuster rules, Democrats could pass the initiative on their own, but so-called moderate Democrats including Manchin and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) have stood in the way of key elements. The paper in question is the Charleston Gazette-Mail , which is well-established to the point of having won a Pulitzer Prize. In it, writer Dan Kurland ‘It seems Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., will get his way on the Build Back Better Act. He’s won. It appears that Manchin has killed the inclusion of the Clean Electricity Performance Program that would have paid utilities to switch from greenhouse gas-emitting electricity sources, and that Manchin has killed a proposed carbon fee and dividend program that would have increased market pressure on all industries to move from the carbon-based fuels responsible for the climate crisis.’ There are serious ramifications for these missed chances for action on climate change, which is an undeniable fact for humanity. Kurland described Manchin as having “successfully torpedoed the president’s upcoming trip to the U.N. Climate Change Conference in Glasgow,” explaining how “[at] a time when our country so desperately needs to reassert a leading role in world affairs, Manchin has neutered our ability to set an example for others to follow.” The Senator “has abandoned the moral high ground,” and “he has given every other country an excuse to do as little as he is forcing us to do,” Kurland added. Among other issues, Manchin has also “proven that any individual senator can subvert the collective action of the Senate on the basis of their own interests, rather than the interests of the country as a whole,” Kurland also troublingly observed. Manchin “has chosen his place in history. Is this really how he wants to be remembered?,” Kurland asked this week.

" unreliable,"Kyrsten Sinema Abandoned By Ex-Advisor For Betraying Democrats Recently, five members of a council of veterans advising Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) resigned in protest of the controversial Senator’s de facto blockade of key elements of the Biden agenda. She has been one of the few voices on the Democratic side in opposition to an initially proposed $3.5 trillion spending plan that would include sweeping support for initiatives from addressing climate change to caring for children, and amid negotiations, that initial proposal has already been watered down. Sinema has also continuously supported the Senate’s filibuster rules, which essentially allow Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to lord over much of the Senate. The rules demand the agreement of at least 60 Senators in the 100-member chamber before moving forward on most bills, meaning that, even if there’s a simple majority in support of a move, the other side can block it. On CNN this week, Sylvia Andersh — who was one of those who resigned from the Sinema advisory council — took the Arizona Senator to task for glossing over critical issues, including voting rights. Certain spending-related bills are exempt from the Senate’s filibuster rules, so Democrats can pass the sweeping social plan on their own with the current party breakdown in place — but voting rights aren’t exempt. As Andersh pointedly put it: ‘I know that I have deep and sincere wishes that [Sinema] will come to the table and really negotiate. And I know she’s a strong woman, and I’m hoping for the best… She ran on prescription drug prices, and helping veterans. We have a lot of concerns right now about voting rights and that really came to us as a very, very significant problem. Without voting rights, we can’t have a strong democracy, and right now the Republicans are really making an effort, especially in Arizona, to limit our rights. And there are half a million veterans in the state of Arizona, and many of those have PTSD and physical disabilities that make it difficult if not impossible for them to participate in our democracy.’ Watch Andersh’s comments below: As Andersh referenced, Arizona is one of a slew of states where Republican leaders have pushed and in some cases successfully enacted suppressive new restrictions around the electoral process. In May, for instance, Arizona authorities a law that was poised to kick 100-200,000 people off of a list of mail-in voters in the state who were automatically sent mail-in ballots for every election. The removals would come if the voter didn’t cast a mail-in ballot at least once every two years. In Arizona, most voters cast their votes via the mail — and there has never been any evidence of a systematic integrity problem with mail-in voting. No related posts. " unreliable,"Kyrsten Sinema Advisers Resign En Masse To Protest Her Obstruction Five veterans serving on an advisory council for Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) en masse on Thursday, tying their departures to the Senator’s relentless obstruction of the Biden agenda. Because of the current party breakdown across Congress, Democrats could pass a sweeping social reform bill entirely on their own, providing boosts of federal financial support to initiatives from fighting climate change to child care — but Democratic leaders can not afford to lose a single vote in the closely divided Senate. Thus, Sinema — who has established her opposition to the originally proposed plan — could derail the president’s agenda on her own. The veterans who resigned from the Sinema advisory council characterized her as “hanging your constituents out to dry.” In their letter, they specifically cited Sinema’s obstruction of the social spending plan and her support of the Senate’s filibuster rules as they currently stand. According to those rules, at least 60 Senators in the 100-member chamber must be in agreement before moving forward on most bills (excluding certain spending-related proposals, like the sweeping social reform initiative in question). Thus, most successful legislation has to be at least somewhat bipartisan — but Senate Republicans aren’t exactly known for their bipartisanship. Sinema is essentially handing power to Mitch McConnell. In the veterans’ letter, they also said (addressing Sinema) that “you have become one of the principal obstacles to progress, answering to big donors rather than your own people,” adding that constituents “shouldn’t have to buy representation from you, and your failure to stand by your people and see their urgent needs is alarming.” Sylvia González Andersh, who was one of the veterans who resigned from the Sinema advisory group and signed onto the letter, to The New York Times : ‘Democrats were out desperately trying to help her win the seat, and now we feel like, what was it for? Nobody knows what she is thinking because she doesn’t tell anybody anything. It’s very sad to think that someone who you worked for that hard to get elected is not even willing to listen.’ Sinema said in response to the veterans’ decisions that she “thank[s] them for their service and will continue working every day to deliver for Arizona’s veterans who have sacrificed so much to keep us safe and secure.” In Arizona, outrage against Sinema is continuing to grow — a political action committee (PAC) called the Primary Sinema PAC even recently sprung up, providing a front for opponents of the Senator’s antics to gather around while formulating a plan to hold her accountable.

Then, her molester made her pregnant again the next year, and she gave birth to twins. That is happening right now in Texas financed by, you got it, dark money.

Democratic leaders have been pushing a spending plan known as the “Build Back Better” agenda, which includes financial support for initiatives from child care to the fight against climate change. With the current party breakdown in place across the House and Senate, Democrats could pass and enact this plan — if Sinema supports it. In the Senate, Democrats can not afford to lose a single vote. In a new survey from Data for Progress, Sinema lost — by large margins — to five potential Democratic Senatorial primary challengers, showing the broad discontent with her antics. 🚨🚨🚨 NEW POLL: Sinema would lose a primary if held today — by A LOT. — PrimarySinema (@PrimarySinemaAZ) In the new poll, a full 70 percent of prospective 2024 Democratic Senatorial primary voters indicated that they have a negative opinion of Sinema. 70 percent! Merely 24 percent expressed a favorable opinion of the Senator. Sinema is not up for re-election until 2024, so the new survey is more of a thought experiment than something that substantively reflects the precise outcome to be expected for the election. Still, the takeaway is clear: Sinema is not representing the interests of many voters. As Sean McElwee, who’s one of the co-founders of Data for Progress, put it, Sinema’s “opposition to President Biden’s agenda is setting her up for an incredibly tough Democratic primary.” A political action committee called the Primary Sinema PAC has sprung up to provide a united front for opposition from Democrats to the controversial Senator. The Data for Progress poll pitted Sinema against potential challengers including Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.), Rep. Greg Stanton (D-Ariz.), Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego, and Tucson Mayor Regina Romero, and the candidates were presented to respondents in a five-way race and one-on-one against Sinema. In the five-way match-up, Rep. Gallego won 23 percent of the support, compared to just 19 percent for Sinema, but, “head-to-head matchups drive home how dire Sinema’s position could be. All four potential challengers have massive leads: Ruben Gallego leads Sinema 62% to 23%; Kate Gallego has a 60% to 25% edge; Stanton leads 59% to 24%; and Romero leads 55% to 26%.” Besides her opposition to the initially proposed price tag of the so-called Build Back Better plan, Sinema has also garnered opposition for her continued support of the Senate’s filibuster rules, which essentially hobble the chamber’s operations.

" unreliable,"Biden Popularity Polling Hits 50% In Spite Of GOP Obstruction In new survey data , President Joe Biden’s job performance garnered the approval of a full 50 percent of respondents — which undercuts the argument from naysayers that the Biden administration is on some kind of unstoppable downswing. In the new survey, a full 49 percent of respondents indicated that they disapprove of Biden’s job performance, suggesting that future elections will be close, even if Biden and the Democrats go into them with a significant portion of the public on their side. Biden and the Democrats have already enacted significant swathes of support for the American people, and they’re working on more in the form of two infrastructure-focused spending bills. Notably, a majority of respondents in the newly released survey also indicated that they want to see the passage in some form of the one of those bills geared towards so-called “human infrastructure,” meaning socially oriented initiatives like child care and care for elders. Overall, “41% of Americans say they would rather see Congress pass an economic bill that enacts all of the proposed social safety net and climate change policies over one that enacts fewer of those policies and costs less,” CNN reports, adding that “[thirty] percent favor a scaled-down bill, and another 29% say they would like Congress to not pass any version of the bill.” Although divisions on what form that respondents wanted the bill to take varied, that means that 71 percent wanted it passed in some manner or another. Notably, while Democrats occupy themselves with attempting to enact these new measures to support the American people, the bulk of the Republican Party — as led by Donald Trump — is focused elsewhere. Trump insisted that “[if] we don’t solve the Presidential Election Fraud of 2020 (which we have thoroughly and conclusively documented), Republicans will not be voting in ‘22 or ‘24. It is the single most important thing for Republicans to do.” That’s where the focus is for Republicans and their potential 2024 nominee: not with putting policies to support Americans in place, but with this sort of obsession over election fraud claims that have been rejected by every court that’s heard them.

" unreliable,"Adamn Schiff Clobbers GOP For Being Deadbeat Traitors Following the current politics is a bit like walking across a tilting floor. Sometimes, it dips to the right, sometimes to the left. Fortunately, there is one powerful representative who levels up the floor and tethers us back to the ground. He walks in with a determined spirit and throws our doubts out the window where they crash land on a recalcitrant Republican animal party with sharp teeth. Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) is a great protector of the Democratic Party and a good guy to stand between Americans and the crazed world of the bizarro, nihilistic GOP. Them and the stubborn corporate Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ). Schiff quite up to the task. He is the Chair of the House Intelligence Committee and also serves on the January 6 House Select Committee, the representative is committed to “transformational change,” his said: ‘Schiff also has worked to produce transformational change in the nation’s Capitol, to make healthcare universal, confront the urgent crisis of climate change, address inequality and systemic racism, and get money out of politics.’ ‘And he is devoted to building our country back better, with an economy that works for everyone.’ One of our great concerns is that President Joe Biden’s key legislature will die a terrible, painful death in the Senate. Sinema and Manchin have been vague about what they will do about the ever-important Build Back Better Bill. You know, the one that will transform our country’s middle- and working-class citizens and is paid for by the top one-percenters and mega-companies who pay exactly zero taxes right now. The two corporate senators have been playing political games with legislation so important, people feel extremely uncomfortable. Schiff tells us that this is, indeed, the moment to enact the “one-in-a-lifetime reforms” for President Biden. Representative Schiff sent out these comforting words. “Democrats will make sure we don’t default on our debt” — for the first time ever. He is especially critical of Senator Mitch Grim Reaper McConnell’s grim game of dueling to the death. So why will our Democrats and Independents pass legislation to protect our national debt? Representative Schiff said it well, “The GOP must never be allowed to govern. Because they can’t:” ‘Democrats will make sure we don’t default on our debt. GOP leaders in Congress just don’t care. They will torpedo our economy if they think it will help them. It won’t. It will just harm the American people. The GOP must never be allowed to govern. Because they can’t.’ He is an economic powerhouse: ‘Schiff’s top priority is to create economic opportunity for everyone in our country and community. Schiff has always believed that small businesses are the true engine of growth and he continues to fight to enact tax relief for small businesses, assist them with access to capital, and restore America as a manufacturing powerhouse.’ And failure is not an option.    podcast, Gloria Christie reads her week’s most important news/ commentary stories in the liberal online newspaper   her newsletter for people on the go.

" unreliable,"Ohio GOP Gerrymandering Attempt Hit With Crippling Legal Action Corporate aka moderate Democrat Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) finally explained why he opposed Joe Biden’s key transformational bill. Since President Ronald Reagan’s trickle-down economics, the GOP has been squeezing the working- and middle-class dry. At their core, wealthy politicians are caught on a spiked, unconscious belief that the rich are entitled to their wealth, and everyone else is entitled to their lack of wealth. That same belief may underlie the GOP ripping through our states and stealing our freedom through gerrymandering and other devious means. But Dems are fighting back. President Biden’s Build Back Better bill provides childcare, greater access to education, climate change, eldercare, and a hundred other vital issues. The corporate Democrats and the Republicans feel entitled to take what they want. Manchin is angry, outraged that those without wealth feel as if they deserve “handouts” as much as the wealthy. Along that parallel, the Republicans feel justified stealing the control of America from the “less-deserving” and will play hardball to make it so. Fortunately, there are the courts The Democracy Docket just announced that those challenging Ohio’s General Assembly’s gerrymandering have filed yet another lawsuit, the third challenge against state Republicans. This latest lawsuit claimed that these new maps “violate the state’s partisan gerrymandering ban.” The new maps have been drawn to disenfranchise “Black and Muslim communities in Ohio: ‘ ‘ Some gerrymandering in other states attempted to entirely eliminate some Democratically-held House seats. The second was filed in the Supreme Court of Ohio challenging the state’s state Senate and House maps. A number of Ohio voters argued they violated Article XI of the Ohio Constitution. That article was an amendment passed by a majority of voters in 2015 pushing back on “extreme partisan gerrymandering,” according to These were the points that the lawsuit sought to right: The second lawsuit filed in the Ohio Supreme Court challenged the new General Assembly maps after the 2020 census data was released. The suit argued that the new maps have been drawn to “lock in Republican veto-proof supermajorities in both chambers of the legislature.” This violated Ohio’s Constitution.  podcast, Gloria Christie reads her week’s most important news/ commentary stories in the liberal online newspaper   her newsletter for people on the go.

" unreliable,"Sinema Faces No-Confidence Vote In AZ After Betraying Dems Why do Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) continue to hold out against voting for President Joe Biden’s cornerstone legislation, the Build Back Better reconciliation bill? We learned that coal handed Manchin over half a million dollars last year as reported by The New York Times , and even more significant, big pharma lined Sinema’s coffer with $750,000, The Salon wrote. Oh. Well, paybacks are hell. Saturday, the Arizona Democratic Party passed a resolution. It guaranteed a no-confidence vote against Sinema should she not back filibuster reforms or vote against President Biden’s Build Back Better  reconciliation bill. The would-be maverick appears willing to overthrow President Biden’s legislative agenda after she received massive donations from the pharmaceutical and medical device industries. After that, she said she was against the Democratic plan to lower prescription drug costs. Sinema told White House that she opposes House and Senate bills that would allow Medicare to negotiate drug costs, sources told The Politico  this week. The Arizona Democratic Party State Committee released a statement that read despite a huge 91 percent vote calling to eliminate the filibuster, she still ignores her party’s requests. They refer to it as  the “Jim Crow relic,” The Arizona Mirror reported: Democrats estimate these bills would save $450 billion over the next decade and thereby pay for a large portion of President Joe Biden’s $3.5 trillion spending plan: ‘The budget bill would expand child care, health care and paid family leave and would fund programs to combat climate change, among other measures. Three House Democrats have also balked at the plan, although they have offered a “centrist” alternative that would drastically limit which drugs are subject to Medicare negotiation. Sinema reportedly opposes that proposal as well.’ During her 2018 Senate win, Sinema tweeted repeatedly: ‘ SOURCE: . The Committee wrote that its members would rather Sinema be successful, according to The Daily Beast: ‘[But if she] continues to delay, disrupt, or vote to gut the Reconciliation Package of its necessary funding, [they will] go officially on record and will give Senator Sinema a vote of NO CONFIDENCE.’ Kai Newkirk, a Democratic organizer in Arizona, told t he Daily Beast: ‘The Arizonans who did the work to elect Sinema have had enough of her betraying the voters who put her in office. It’s time for her to show the bare minimum of accountability and stop obstructing the agenda that Democrats, including her, campaigned on and were elected to deliver. Sinema is setting her political future on fire. If she doesn’t change course drastically and soon, it will be too late.’ This week, Sinema apparently also told President Biden she will vote against the reconciliation bill if the infrastructure bill fails or does not receive its promised September 27 vote in the House. Sinema pointed out that an up or down vote was promised by that day, and leadership needs to hold firm to that commitment. As Politico wrote: ‘Democrats have been united in their insistence on lowering prescription drug costs for seniors. The plan is hugely popular with Americans, and for good reason. We pay for prescription drugs than many other countries because we refuse to negotiate drug prices with pharmaceutical companies.’ Dems have a plan to change that and save billions of dollars in the process, but Sinema remains opposed. One can only assume her opposition has something to do with the fact that she is a favorite among pharmaceutical companies, raking in in campaign contributions just during the last election cycle. If Dems cannot recoup the savings from a prescription drug pricing overhaul, they’ll lose their ability to pay for expanded Medicare coverage for vision, hearing, and dental, which is extremely popular. According to The Open Secrets, Manchin has been Big Oil’s top recipient with $179,000, over twice what the next senator in line received. The New York Times reported this about the Senate Energy Panel Chair Manchin: ‘[He] earned half a million dollars last year from coal production, is preparing to remake President Biden’s climate legislation in a way that tosses a lifeline to the fossil fuel industry — despite urgent calls from scientists that countries need to quickly pivot away from coal, gas and oil to avoid a climate catastrophe.’ revealed after an investigation that: ‘Senator Joe Manchin’s (D-WV)’s daughter worked with Pfizer Inc. in 2016 to monopolize and the price of the EpiPen while the company gave generous campaign donations to Manchin.’ ‘Heather Bresch, Manchin’s daughter, played a direct part in the EpiPen Price Inflation Scandal.’ SOURCE: . week’s most important news/ commentary stories in the liberal online newspaper  her newsletter for people on the go.

" unreliable,"Trump Humiliated By Military Vets After Biden Restores US Credibility After President Joe Biden addressed the United Nations General Assembly this week, the veterans advocacy group known as VoteVets released an incisive video showcasing the difference in the responses to Biden and former President Donald Trump from that international assembly. Trump was quite literally laughed at while speaking to the United Nations back in 2018 after he said that his administration had “accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country.” Evidently, the world leaders who were present were uninterested in entertaining what amounted to a rally speech from a bumbling egomaniac. At the conclusion of Biden’s 2021 speech before the United Nations, resounding applause rang out. The new video from VoteVets plays clips of the laughter at Trump and applause for Biden right after one another, showcasing the distinction. In a caption for the post, the organization shared as follows: ‘It’s clear who the world respects, and who they thought was a joke.’ In the video itself, Biden concludes his remarks with the following: ‘We will choose to build a better future. We — you and I. We have the will and capacity to make it better. Ladies and gentlemen, we cannot afford to waste any more time. Let’s get to work. Let’s make our better future now. We can do this. It’s within our power and capacity.’ Check all of it out below: It’s clear who the world respects, and who they thought was a joke. — VoteVets (@votevets) Trump’s foreign policy legacy hinges on failure. Throughout his time in office, he failed to secure the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula, failed to set up an agreement in Afghanistan that would preserve the country’s government, alienated allies at NATO and in individual countries around the world, severely undercut the Iran nuclear deal by withdrawing the U.S. from the agreement, threw a wrench in international negotiations surrounding climate change by moving to withdraw the United States from the Paris climate accord, sparked a trade war with China via punitive tariffs that were paid by American importers, failed to secure meaningful consequences for Saudi leaders after a crown prince in the country directed the execution of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, and the list goes on from there.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) says she knows exactly what that should be. Sen. Amy Klobuchar says the Senate should abolish the filibuster in order to codify abortion rights after the Supreme Court allowed Texas’ restrictive anti-abortion law to stand: “Now and over the next years, we just will get nowhere if we keep this filibuster in place.” — State of the Union (@CNNSotu) While moderate Democrats like Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Krysten Sinema (D-AZ) have said they refuse to discuss abolishing the filibuster on issues like voting rights, rights that ensure every American has a voice in their representation, Klobuchar told Dana Bash of CNN that conservatives on the Supreme Court refusing to stay Texas’ new anti-abortion is more indication than ever that it’s time for the filibuster to go. ‘In the past when they had cases that were so blatantly against Roe v. Wade , they would stay those cases when such requests came up. They did it with another Texas law. They did it in 2015. They did it in 2019. And, so, here you have them this year, this week, basically telling women in Texas that 85 percent of them seeking abortion services cannot exercise their constitutional rights…My solution to this—which is my solution for voting rights and so many other things, including climate change, where one side of the country is in flames, the other side of the country is flooded with people dying submerged in their cars—I believe we should abolish the filibuster.’ **NEW** VIDEO Republicans are calling women's bodies ""Host bodies"" Texas Republicans set up a website to stalk and report women, their families and the doctors who help them.

If they have the resources, they can travel out of state, stay somewhere overnight, arrange childcare, and still get an abortion. Sadly, too many don’t have those resources. The filibuster does not protect them. ‘I do not believe an archaic rule should be used to allow us to put our heads in the sand, to use Justice Sotomayor’s words, to put our heads in the sand and not take action on the important issues, the challenges that are facing our country right now, now and over the next years.

" unreliable,"Biden Surges Past Trump Predictions In Thursday Jobs Report President Joe Biden is a multi-tasking wonder, especially when it comes to the economy. He has been juggling more balls than we can count. There is the pandemic, the end of a 20-year war, and climate change’s fires, hurricanes, and flooding. There is more, SCOTUS destroys abortions, voting rights bills in question, Biden’s infrastructure plans, and then there is the economy. He is doing a real bang-up job on that front, too. His numbers ran the previous administration’s claims right into the ground. Just look at this latest economic news from President Biden. The U.S. economy has been on a strong path of recovery. In spite of the COVID-19 pandemic, President Biden’s jobless claims numbers totaled 340,000 in the week ending on August 28. The Labor Department used a four-week average to reduce the week-to-week volatility. That was the best reckoning of our nation’s economy since the pandemic first began. So how did our president manage that? For one, American businesses limited layoffs in spite of the far more highly contagious new coronavirus Delta variant. Companies have recognized that holding onto their employees was a more profitable course of action. Initial jobless claims fell by 14,000. That, too, was their lowest number since March 14, 2020. That came in advance of the Labor Department’s release of its monthly jobs report and will indicate the number of jobs employers added in August, The Wall Street Journal reported. Ongoing claims, which reflected continuing benefits, ran right at 2.75 million. That showed a decrease of 160,000 compared to the “previous week’s revised level: ‘The decrease in the number of continuing claims also represents the lowest level for insured unemployment since the Covid era began. ‘ The level of continuing claims, which was the measure of ongoing benefits, was 2.75 million. That was a decrease of 160,000 from the previous week’s revised level. Of course now that so many employees have been working at home due to the pandemic, employers have recognized the savings in utilities, space, and lost working hours. Employees saw a saving in both transportation costs and commuting time, according to ‘Economists looking for even more robust job creation have noted that federal unemployment benefits, a safety net for those who lost jobs during the worst of the pandemic, are set to expire Monday. Others noted that with public schools starting to open across the U.S., parents may be able to finally return to the office.’ Chief Investment Officer at Bleakley Advisory Group Peter Boockvar wrote: ‘Bottom line, we now have the lowest initial filings for claims and smallest level of continuing claims since everything changed in March last year. Just listen to any company that is looking to expand and you’ll hear stories about the difficulty in finding positions so it makes sense that claims continue to decline.’ ‘We’ll of course now hear about what will happen in coming weeks as classrooms refill, hopefully without incident, parents go back to work and added benefits expire.’ Economists anticipate the employers added 720,000 employees to companies’  payrolls last month. It could mean an even lower unemployment rate, moving down from 5.4 percent to 5.2 percent.  podcast, Gloria Christie reads her week’s most important news/ commentary stories in the liberal online newspaper   her newsletter for people on the go.

" unreliable,"Latest Joe Biden Policy Approval Polling Has GOP In Panic Mode from Navigator Research reveals high levels of overall support for a Biden-backed plan to boost the economy. Specifically, the poll describes Biden’s plan as — if enacted — set to “cut taxes for most families with children, address climate change, make access to child care, health care, and elder care more accessible, and expand Medicare benefits for seniors.” The plan, which had a price of $3.5 trillion recently announced, would cover policy areas left out of the bipartisan infrastructure deal that is under more immediate consideration by the Senate. In Navigator Research’s survey, 54 percent of overall survey respondents said they supported that $3.5 trillion deal, while among independents, 45 percent expressed support. NEW POLLING: Majorities support President Biden’s economic plan both nationally and across 2022 battlegrounds. — Navigator Research (@NavigatorSurvey) The Navigator Research survey breaks down results by so-called battleground states including New Hampshire and Wisconsin. In Wisconsin — which, next year, will be a key part of the Senate elections map — a full 52 percent of overall respondents indicated that they support the $3.5 trillion Biden plan. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.) has yet to announce whether he will run for re-election next year, but the election forecasting organization known as The Cook Political Report his seat as a toss-up. They also rate two other currently GOP-held seats, in Pennsylvania and North Carolina, as toss-ups. Last November, Biden won Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, and he came close to victory in North Carolina. Recently, a full 17 Senate Republicans (among 50 overall) voted to take up the bipartisan infrastructure agreement (which, again, is distinct from the $3.5 trillion plan that was the subject of the survey). Johnson in favor of taking up that bipartisan deal for consideration by the Senate, although even the infamously obstructionist Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) voted for the move. Meanwhile, the $3.5 trillion deal could be passed with Democrats alone, since a process known as budget reconciliation allows for the passage by the Senate of certain budget-related bills with simple majorities, bypassing the Senate’s filibuster rules that ordinarily demand the agreement of at least 60 Senators in the 100-member chamber before moving forward on most bills. Advocates have pushed for changes to the filibuster rules, which stand in the way of potential progress on enacting new voting rights protections, among other issues. No related posts. " unreliable,"Trump Publicly Freaks Out After Biden Secures Infrastructure Deal As federal leaders continue to move towards the enactment of a bipartisan infrastructure deal — something that Trump never got done during his entire four years in office — the former president is freaking out. In a new statement, Trump that it’s “Hard to believe our Senate Republicans are dealing with the Radical Left Democrats in making a so-called bipartisan bill on ‘infrastructure,’ with our negotiators headed up by SUPER RINO Mitt Romney.” (RINO, an insult Trump has repeatedly used, stands for “Republican in Name Only.”) Evidently, Trump would prefer to leave Americans to struggle amid decaying infrastructure around the country. This particular statement from the former president does not explicitly mention what’s actually in the bipartisan infrastructure deal — instead, Trump is focused on optics. — including an announcement that disagreements between parties had been resolved — were already available, but since Trump issued this particular statement, the Senate has formally voted to take up the bipartisan infrastructure deal, marking a comparatively rare instance during this Congress of Republicans opting to back progress instead of utilizing the filibuster. That said — it’s clear that as Biden and the Democrats move forward, Trump is sticking to moping. After ranting against Romney in his new statement, Trump added as follows, discussing the bipartisan infrastructure deal: ‘This will be a victory for the Biden Administration and Democrats, and will be heavily used in the 2022 election. It is a loser for the USA, a terrible deal, and makes the Republicans look weak, foolish, and dumb. It shouldn’t be done. It sets an easy glidepath for Dems to then get beyond what anyone thought was possible in future legislation. It will be a continued destruction of our Country.’ How can anyone take this guy’s bumbling rants seriously? Does he even know what’s actually in the proposal? He sounds incompetent — like he’s just pulling stuff out of the rhetorical equivalent of thin air.

" unreliable,"Biden Cancels Trump Environmental Policy With Owl Protection Five of Donald Trump’s cabinet members were referred by their own inspector generals for criminal investigations. With money as the primary goal of his administration and revenge in his heart, of course, the former president tried to kick the heart out of the Spotted Owl’s habitat protections on northwestern federal lands. He ordered over a third of the Spotted Owls’ natural habitat removed in Washington, Oregon, and California. Since the ex-POTUS Interior Department changed the rule as he walked out of the door, it had not yet been implemented. Aaron Weiss, deputy director of the Center for Western Priorities, an advocacy group said, The Washington Post reported: ‘On his way out the door, [former interior secretary David] Bernhardt just laid a bunch of regulatory land mines that would never hold up but were just going to take time for the Biden administration to clear up. And this is one of those cases.’ The nation’s Fish and Wildlife Service’s exclusion of over three million acres from protections had “defects and shortcomings,” according to the ‘The Service now concludes that there was insufficient rationale and justification to support the exclusion.’ Martha Williams, principal deputy director of the Fish and Wildlife Service, released a statement that read: ‘The exclusions we are proposing now will allow fuels management and sustainable timber harvesting to continue while supporting northern spotted owl recovery.’ President Joe Biden decided to save old-growth forests and the Spotted Owl’s habitat in the Pacific Northwest. Steve Pedery of Oregon Wild, an environmental group, said: ‘We’re not going to get any new critical habitat out of this. This is great, it absolutely needs to happen, but it’s not, in and of itself, going to recover spotted owls or protect salmon.’ Lawson Fite, the general counsel for the American Forest Resource Council, which represents the timber industry in the Pacific Northwest said: ‘We’re very concerned. I think it reflects potentially an elevation of politics over science and law.’ Trump’s administration planned to cut out 204,000 acres of the owl’s habitat as part of an agreement with the timber industry. The final rule came out five days before he left office calling for “stripping protections on 3.4 million acres” at the “discretion” of his interior secretary: ‘This was an incredibly indefensible decision. It was clearly biologically and scientifically invalid; it was also just invalid in the way we do business. You don’t do a proposed rule for 200,000 acres and then do a final rule for 17 times that.’ The Fish and Wildlife Service said taking 3.4 million acres out of critical habitat protections had been “premised on inaccurate assumptions” about the owl and its habitat: ‘In fact the best scientific data indicate that protecting late-successional habitat also remains critical for the conservation of the spotted owl.’ There has long been disagreement between environmentalists and loggers over the Spotted Owl in the Northwest. The species was listed as threatened in 1990. That was when President Bill Clinton “established critical habitat for the bird and other species across millions of acres.” Thus far, the owl has lost “70 percent of its habitat and , according to the Fish and Wildlife Service after it moved it  “threatened” to “endangered” under the Endangered Species Act. Man and the Barrel Owls have been the greatest threat to the birds.

" unreliable,"Latest Biden Approval Polling Has GOP Sounding Their Alarm In newly available polling from CBS, President Joe Biden of a majority of respondents, marking yet another instance when the current commander-in-chief has significantly outperformed Donald Trump according to this metric. In the CBS survey, a full 58 percent of overall respondents said that they approve of Biden’s job performance, while 42 percent of overall respondents indicated that they disapprove. For comparison, during his presidency, Donald Trump never even hit 50 percent overall approval in the weighted average from FiveThirtyEight of relevant surveys. , Biden also received the support of substantial numbers of Americans regarding his handling of certain, specific issues. A full 66 percent of respondents indicated that they believe that Biden is doing a “good job” handling COVID-19, while only 34 percent of respondents said the opposite — which seems interesting, since it’s normally those who oppose Biden who disregard the seriousness of the pandemic altogether. Evidently, opposing Biden takes priority for certain people over approaching the pandemic with committed flippancy. Meanwhile, majorities of respondents indicated that they think positively of Biden’s handling of issues including climate change, race relations, and the economy, while 49 percent of respondents indicated approval for his handling of both crime and policing, and 47 percent of respondents said that they approve of his handling of immigration. The Biden administration has sought to impose a less antagonistic immigration policy framework than what the Trump team had in place. For instance, Attorney General Merrick Garland has cancelled decisions from the Trump era that made obtaining asylum more difficult for victims of domestic and gang violence. Going forward, high levels of approval for Biden among the general public suggest that Democrats will do well in the upcoming midterm elections. Trump was never overwhelmingly popular among Americans while in office, and his political party lost control of the House two years into his term. This time, however, circumstances are different for the political party that’s in control at the White House. The Biden administration has been working to support Americans through means like ambitious economic assistance, including an increased child tax credit that began going out to American parents this month.

" unreliable,"Biden Cancels Trump's Signature Environmental Destruction Policy A live tree in an old-growth forest has withstood a century and a half through fires, disease, and lightning strikes but they could not withstand Donald Trump. When he looked across some of our nation’s greatest treasures, our amazing national park system, he only saw green dollar signs. The Biden administration will bring back “protections for the Tongass National Forest and add additional logging restrictions,” the Agriculture Department announced on Thursday. There has been a long battle over whether to protect these forests under the Clinton administration’s “Roadless Rule.” The 35th generation Secretary of the Interior Deb Ha ‘It halted road construction and timber harvesting on many Forest Service lands.’ Trump had argued: ‘[Harvesting these stately trees] would increase rural economic opportunity and would only cause a “modest difference” in environmental impacts.’ ‘[P]romoting climate resiliency across landscapes and communities, modernizing the firefighter workforce while creating good jobs, and protecting the safety and long-term wellbeing of our wildland firefighters and incident responders.’ Secretary Haaland said: ‘With so little room for error, we must remain steadfast in our commitment to wildland fire preparedness, mitigation, and resilience. To do so, we must confront the reality that a changing climate is fueling these fire disasters.’ ‘The Interior Department will continue to leverage our valuable partnerships with state and local governments, Tribes, and the private sector to address and mitigate wildfire risk.’ Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack added: ‘We used to call it fire season, but wildland fires now extend throughout the entire year, burning hotter and growing more catastrophic in drier conditions due to climate change. USDA will increase the resiliency of communities at risk for wildfire with more effective land management decisions and partnerships with local communities and Tribal Nations to address climate adaptation, conservation, and ecological resilience.’ Environmentalists have been concerned by the increased logging. They say there has been: ‘[A] major carbon sink, meaning its trees soak up carbon from the atmosphere, lessening the impacts of climate change. The Forest Service that it stores more carbon than any other forest in the country.’ The Biden administration plans to: The department intends to invest: ‘[A]pproximately $25 million for sustainable opportunities for economic growth and community well-being and would also look for potential priorities for future investments.’ released this statement: ‘We look forward to meaningful consultation with Tribal governments and Alaska Native corporations, and engaging with local communities, partners, and the State to prioritize management and investments in the region that reflect a holistic approach to the diverse values present in the region.’ ‘This approach will help us chart the path to long-term economic opportunities that are sustainable and reflect Southeast Alaska’s rich cultural heritage and magnificent natural resources.’ The administration already notified the public it was changing Trump’s expanded logging agreement in the forest. Instead, President Biden intended to change Trump’s expanded logging: said that an old forest must be 150 years old and developed into a complex structure: ‘[It consists of] live and dead trees, distinctive habitats; and a diverse group of plants, fungi, and animals.

But President Biden’s plan would reach deeply into the middle and working poor classes and touch the very heart of the problem. Starting in the 1980s, the nation’s very wealthy began sucking all of the money out of the middle-class until that well ran dry. They killed the middle-class. President Biden’s big idea is to resuscitate it. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) spoke to reporters: ‘We are very proud of this plan. We know we have a long road to go. We’re going to get this done for the sake of making average Americans’ lives a whole lot better.’ Schumer has been working in tandem with President Biden to prioritize the president’s priorities “in a robust way.”   Sanders said the agreement would end an era, reflected on the ‘ site.  He said rich people and big companies weren’t bearing enough of the burden of financing government programs: ‘Those days are gone. The wealthy and large corporations are going to start paying their fair share of taxes, so that we can protect the working families of this country.’ A leading moderate, Senator Warner worked with Schumer and Sanders to shape the final budget package. POTUS wanted to finance his plan by raising taxes on the richest Americans and national corporations. In addition, President Biden asked for a stronger IRS budget, allowing it to collect money from high-end tax cheaters. However, the president insisted that no one earning under $400,000 a year and no small businesses would see a tax increase. Conversely, the GOP wanted to create a gas tax and other taxes upon that very same group. The ever-truculent Senator Joe Manchin (D-KY) wanted to make sure the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) score indicated: ‘[E]verything’s paid for. If not, we’ll have to make some adjustments.’ That was the Democratic side of the budget battle. Now that Schumer finalized his party’s needs and desires, he will have to face the Republican half of Congress. He will need a minimum of 10 senators from the GOP to pass his infrastructure bill/jobs. Those 10 plus the Democrat’s 50 would just barely reach the 60-vote goal of bypassing a filibuster from Senate Minority Leader Mitch “the Grim Reaper” McConnell (R-KY). As usual, the senator has vowed to kill any legislation from the Democrats. The GOP did not even pause over the trillions gifted to the top one percent and big businesses. Yet, they screamed bloody murder over helping most Americans. If the Democrats want to turn any of their bills into laws, they should end the filibuster. That way, McConnell could not swing them around by the tail, killing off precious first-year time. The Kentucky senator would only need 41 senators to knock the Democrats back. Many have been committed to bipartisanship. However, that has become more and more a pipe dream.  podcast, Gloria Christie reads her week’s most important news/ commentary stories in the liberal online newspaper   her newsletter for people on the go.

" unreliable,"Ron Johnson Gets Publicly Shamed By Hometown Newspaper The lasting legacy of the presidency of Donald Trump will not include, as he bragged it would, evidence of a booming economy or historically good job record. Instead, it will include the names of 600,000 Americans who died as a result of his incompetence in his handling of the COVID-19 crisis, and the names of his allies will be dragged through the historical mud right along with his. Milwaukee Journal Sentinel today: Republican US Senator Ron Johnson ""is the most irresponsible representative of Wisconsin citizens since the infamous Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy in the 1950s."" — Rachel Maddow MSNBC (@maddow) One of those names will be Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), who has carried Trump’s water faithfully for more than four years now. Lying about the 2020 election results and the effects of climate change was despicable but on brand for Republicans, but Johnson’s hometown newspaper called him out for his ongoing campaign to convince voters that the vaccine for COVID-19 is a danger to their lives. Johnson has focused on five people he says experienced negative health effects after receiving the vaccine with no proof that their health experiences were related to the vaccine at all. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel wrote on Wednesday that: ‘Johnson’s misleading medicine show Monday included charts showing thousands of deaths supposedly linked to the vaccines. But the data he relied on — reports to the federal government’s vaccine adverse event website that anyone can file — prove nothing. The federal government requires health care providers to the site even if it’s unclear whether the vaccine had anything to do with it.’ Sen. Ron Johnson held a forum today to highlight adverse reactions to the COVID-19 vaccine. Asked about it on Friday, he said that he’s not anti-vaccine and that he’s just asking questions, which is also what nearly all anti-vaccine activists say, so … ( ). — Caroline Orr Bueno, Ph.D (@RVAwonk) Johnson has made a political name for himself by denying science, much to the disastrous effects of bad policy votes that put American lives in danger. In addition to his misleading remarks and outright lies about the vaccine, he had previously issued other ridiculous lies about climate change science, something he clearly fails to understand at all. ‘During a meeting with the Journal Sentinel editorial board in 2010, Johnson claimed global warming was more likely caused by sunspots than human activity. Over the years, he continued to downplay climate change, claiming as recently as 2016 that the climate hadn’t warmed in “quite a few years,” which he said was “proven scientifically.” ‘In fact, , reporting “15 of the 16 warmest years on record have occurred since 2001, with the two highest years being 2014 and 2015.”‘ Republican U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson hosted a news conference that heard from five people who said they got side effects from COVID-19 vaccine.        — USA TODAY Politics (@usatodayDC) Trump’s trademark lies have been the catalyst for many of Johnson’s, none so obviously more so than his contributions to the Big Lie: the one about how the 2020 presidential election was stolen from Trump and illegally given to Biden. ‘Johnson’s role in spreading and amplifying lies about the election — including his threat to in Congress — encouraged Trump supporters to believe the result could be overturned and helped lead to the insurrection at the Capitol on Jan. 6. ‘In the weeks after the riot, Johnson continued to deny the truth.’ Ron Johnson won't curtail his reckless rhetoric on vaccines | By Steve Benen — SafetyPin-Daily (@SafetyPinDaily) No related posts. " unreliable,"Congress Votes To Cancel Trump Era Environmental Sabotage The House to undo a damaging deregulatory move from the Trump era and concurrently restore regulations covering methane leaks that were originally imposed by the Obama administration. The Senate has already passed a measure undoing that same deregulatory push, so a signature from President Joe Biden seems to be imminent. Both chambers have passed their erasures of the Trump era move under the authority of the Congressional Review Act, which permits Congress to undo any federal regulation within 60 legislative days of its enactment, with just a simple majority required in support of the move (thereby getting past the Senate’s constrictive filibuster rules). The Washington Post formally reinstating the Obama era regulations will mean that “oil and gas companies will have to check every six months for methane leaks from pipelines, storage tanks and other equipment installed after 2015 — and plug any leak within 30 days after it is detected.” Methane is a potent greenhouse gas; Inger Andersen, who works as executive director of the United Nations Environment Program, recently said that “[cutting] methane is the strongest lever we have to slow climate change over the next 25 years.” The Trump administration had removed federal demands surrounding methane in oil and gas operations for the apparent sake of allowing easier business operations. As Trump era Environmental Protection Agency chief Andrew Wheeler put it, the Obama era regulations were “unnecessary and duplicative.” Wheeler added that the Trump administration “recognizes that methane is valuable, and the industry has an incentive to minimize leaks and maximize its use.” Supposed incentives don’t always translate into action, however, and using so-called incentives as an excuse for lackadaisical government action could easily lead to damaging impacts down the line. Now, Sarah Smith, of the environmental advocacy group Clean Air Task Force, characterized Congress’s votes to repeal the Trump era deregulatory push in question as “very important from the perspective of signaling that Congress expects and supports EPA moving forward with stronger methane standards.” Those “stronger standards” could include methane handling regulations covering older oil and gas operations, since the measures that are set to be restored following Biden’s expected signature focus on newer projects. Meanwhile, the Biden administration has already undertaken other substantive environmental protection pushes. The president’s team has, for instance, unveiled plans to undo a Trump era deregulatory push that removed certain smaller waterways under federal oversight. (Obama’s administration had previously worked to broaden the range of waterways that were subject to federal protections.) Referring to certain language that provides for federal authority for water regulation, current EPA chief Michael Regan authorities are “committed to establishing a durable definition of ‘waters of the United States’ based on Supreme Court precedent and drawing from current and previous regulations… so we can better protect our nation’s waters, foster economic growth and support thriving communities.” No related posts. " unreliable,"Manchin Commits To Filibuster Proof Infrastructure Bill In Blow To GOP Infrastructure, which consists of all of that which allows for the functioning of a society such as roads, bridges, and other means of business and economic operations, is an important new focus for Congress under the administration of President Joe Biden. After failing to come to any sort of compromise on the voting rights bill that failed to even be brought up for debate, Manchin’s support on the infrastructure bill is key to moving forward with Democratic plans for the country’s future. Sen. Macnhin, who is working to ink a bipartisan deal to fund physical infrastructure, expressed openness to a separate filibuster-proof package to make economic investments, although he said the size and scope have yet to be determined. — NBC News (@NBCNews) In addition to funding for roads and bridges, Biden’s infrastructure proposals have addressed additional, modern needs for societal advancement, such as high-speed internet in rural areas and child care so that half the workforce can remain productive. How would these things be paid for? It would start with making some serious adjustments to former President Trump’s massive tax cuts for the rich, and Manchin is ready to talk about that. ‘I’ve come to the knowledge, basically, that budget reconciliation is for reconciling budgets. So it’s money matters…Republicans have drawn a line in the sand on not changing anything, and I thought the 2017 tax bill was a very unfair bill, and weighted to a side that basically did not benefit the average American. So I voted against it. I think there are some adjustments that need to be made.’ Exclusive interview with Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm on the the infrastructure bill, what Joe Manchin wants, and the climate crisis — Rolling Stone (@RollingStone) Manchin also said that the specifics still need discussion and that being competitive in the modern era will require serious investment. What cannot happen, however, is continuing to allow the wealthy to pay minimal taxes while also funding infrastructure programs that allow the United States to remain the wealthiest country in the world. ‘Now, the size of the bill or what’s going to be done — the scope of that, we’ve got to find out. First of all, we should be looking at: What do we do that we think that keeps us competitive and make some changes in the tax code? Once you find out what makes you competitive in the tax code, then you’ll find out how much money you have to invest in this human infrastructure.’ Significant: ""Bipartisan infrastructure group grows to 20 senators."" Would a bipartisan deal on infrastructure give Manchin/Sinema more cover to go it alone on voting, especially after Manchin moves toward Ds w/his voting principles out today? — Ronald Brownstein (@RonBrownstein) Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said that the additional funding for that which goes beyond physical infrastructure is necessary for the effort’s success, and welcomes discussion on how to best provide it. ‘There cannot be a bipartisan bill which only deals with physical infrastructure unless it’s very clear that there’s going to be a major reconciliation bill which deals with the needs of working families, climate change and progressive tax reform. And I think we can, we can make that happen. It’s going to be either both or nothing.’ Ambitious agenda including moving the age of Medicare eligibility down to 60.

" unreliable,"Another EU Leader Proclaims 'America Is Back' In Snub To Trump On Tuesday, ahead of his planned meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin the following day, President Joe Biden stopped in Brussels, Belgium, where he met with European Union leaders including President of the European Council Charles Michel and President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen. In front of reporters, Michel and proclaimed that “America is back on the global scene” under the comparatively new president’s leadership. That’s a stark contrast to the Trump era, when the then-president often prioritized posting petty tweets over building alliances. In Brussels, Michel commented as follows: ‘Mr. President, dear Joe, we are so pleased to welcome you in Brussels. You are back in Brussels, and America is back on the global scene. It’s great news. It’s great news for our Alliance. It’s also great news for the world. And we are really delighted to work with you in order to tackle, together, some important global challenges.’ Biden has sought to reiterate the idea that the United States is “back” following the chaos of the Trump era, and European leaders appear to have gladly accepted this idea. Check out Michel’s remarks below: Charles Michel, President of the European Council: ""Mr. President, dear Joe, we are so pleased to welcome you in Brussels. You are back in Brussels and America is back on the global scene. It's great news."" — The Hill (@thehill) , the U.S. and European Union said that they “stand united in our principled approach towards Russia and… are ready to respond decisively to its repeating pattern of negative behavior and harmful activities,” adding that they “urge Russia to stop its continuous crackdown on civil society, the opposition and independent media and release all political prisoners.” The U.S. and E.U. have also reached an agreement on a trade dispute between the two interests over aircraft manufacturing; that agreement, according to U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai, includes a provision for a five-year suspension of aircraft tariffs. Having someone like Biden at the helm in place of the destructive chaos wrought by Trump has significant ramifications. The United States and European Union have also announced a joint council to handle trade and technology issues, and the Biden administration has also indicated that the two interests intend to explore possibilities for combating climate change. These cooperative efforts would have seemed very far-fetched in the Trump era, when ex-President Trump often opted for hobnobbing with dictators over connecting with allies of the United States.

" unreliable,"Gohmert Wants Scientists To Alter Earth's Orbit To Fight Fires Do you hear those broad wings flapping? Why, it is the stork coming to deliver a baby on the neighbor’s doorstep. And it is crying. Oh, wait that is just Representative Louie Gohmert (R-TX) flapping over another conspiracy theory again. This week, Gohmert cornered a U.S. Forest Service employee and asked if he knew it was possible to alter the orbit of the moon or the Earth as a way of combating climate change. And he was serious? He told the woman: ‘I understand from what’s been testified to the Forest Service and the BLM [Bureau of Land Management], you want very much to work on the issue of climate change.’ Of course, we all know that those footsteps on the moon were created on a TV set by someone who looked a great deal like Gohmert. He continued: ‘Is there anything that the National Forest Service or BLM can do to change the course of the moon’s orbit or the Earth’s orbit around the sun? Obviously, they would have profound effects on our climate.’ Eberlien tactfully responded: ‘I would have to follow up with you on that one, Mr. Gohmert.’ Then, Gohmert handed her yet another job, figure out a way to harness that conspiracy and spin it into gold…uh, spin it into truth. That would be in her spare time between midnight and 6 a.m. when she was just lying around doing nothing anyway: ‘Well, if you figure out a way that you in the Forest Service can make that change, I’d like to know.’ Good woman that she was, she did not even chuckle. Apparently, the Texas representative had forgotten that was the job of the man in the moon. Every night, he checked on that darned cow that kept jumping over the moon, making sure she entered her descent path properly. Then, the shady anonymous man would take out his crank, which coincidentally kicked over his Model T car, too, and start cranking up the orbits. It was hard work. Fortunately, the moon is made out of cheese so he always got his protein. It seems that the man in the moon was not very good at climate change, it was taking 100,000 years to make a slight difference. He would be old before he got the job done. Gohmert was talking with the Associate Deputy. Chief of the National Forest System Jennifer Eberlien. This was in a House National Resources Committee hearing. He said that a former member of NASA had told him that the orbits of the moon and the Earth were changing. Of course, there have been and would continue to be changes in orbits, but very minor. Milanković’s cycles were named after the Serbian astronomer who first theorized about them, Milutin Milanković. A ‘Currently, Earth’s eccentricity is near its least elliptic (most circular) and is very slowly decreasing, in a cycle that spans about 100,000 years. ‘The total change in global annual insolation due to the eccentricity cycle is very small. Because variations in Earth’s eccentricity are fairly small, they’re a relatively minor factor in annual seasonal climate variations.’ These orbit shifts were not responsible for global warming. Of course, we must keep an eye on that pesky moon. Every time we looked up, the moon was trying to escape Earth’s orbit — an inch a year. The Forbes magazine tweeted: ‘ORBITS: Rep.

" unreliable,"Biden Cancels Trump Legacy With Reversal Of Environmental Policy The Biden administration is restoring protections for endangered animals and plants that were weakened during the Trump era. The protections in question stem from a federal law known as the Endangered Species Act, the specific applications of which were adjusted by the Trump administration to prioritize economic interests. Now, The Washington Post the “U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service under President Biden are  much of the Trump administration’s work that altered the ways habitats of plants and animals on the verge of extinction are kept from total collapse.” The Biden administration’s moves boost “the federal government’s power to protect vanishing plants and animals,” . Martha Williams, who works as principal deputy director at the Fish and Wildlife Service in the Biden administration, commented that her agency will be cooperating with industrial interests and Native American tribes in order “to not only protect and recover America’s imperiled wildlife but to ensure cornerstone laws like the Endangered Species Act are helping us meet 21st century challenges.” As the Post explains, the Trump administration had “allowed wildlife officials to take the economic cost of conserving species into account when deciding whether to put a plant or animal on the endangered species list,” which doesn’t exactly seem constructive and which concerned observers relevantly pointed out appeared to stand in stark violation of the original Endangered Species Act. Not only did they allow more outs from implementing initial protections, but the Trump administration also “made it easier to remove protections for threatened species,” the Post adds. Now, federal authorities will be re-orchestrating these frameworks to better guard species that may benefit from protection efforts. The Biden administration has sought to roll out ambitious action to tackle environmental issues including climate change, including with a proposal to conserve 30 percent of the land and waterways across the United States by 2030, although obstruction-minded Republicans in Congress certainly haven’t helped these plans along. Biden has also sought to include investments in electric vehicle technology in the infrastructure spending proposal that he has put forward. No related posts. " unreliable,"Biden Rehires Prestigious Scientist Who Was Spitefully Fired By Trump For unknown reasons, Trump got rid of the top scientist in charge of the Global Change Research Program. That director of the program was Michael Kuperberg. The ex-president abruptly shipped the entire Agriculture research wing from Washington D.C. to Kansas City, and as a result, hundreds of jobs have gone unfilled, The Kansas City Star reported. Donald Trump even had the words “climate change” deleted from all government documents. Fortunately, President Joe Biden brought him back to the program that has been responsible for the last word on climate change. Kuperberg ran the program for six years. The president just added eight billion dollars to the Hurricane Sandy’s damage fund, The Scientific American reported. So, his commitment to climate change has been highly visible. President Biden also went to Detroit on Tuesday and put his foot to the medal in an electrically powered pickup. He got it up to 80 m.p.h. within seconds. The vehicle he drove was also a mobile generator. Kuperberg’s job used to be and is now to coordinate 13 federal agencies’ climate change research activities. In addition, he puts out the National Climate Assessment. This has been America’s most important report on climate change. Kuperberg said, according to ‘I’m really excited to be back. I think [the program] is a critical component for advancing the climate agenda of this administration. We have an opportunity to put that science to work in informing decisions on our response to climate change.’ Trump placed the brilliant scientist in exile, moving him to the Energy Department last November. But the scientist knew that possibility came with the job: ‘It’s their prerogative to make those kinds of changes. We’re coordinating science and we’re trying to get to the nation the very best possible science. This is not politics.’ The research program’s overseer and lead climate official at the White House, Jane Lubchenco thought highly of Kuperberg’s comment: ‘Dr. Kuperberg has earned the trust of the science community and policymakers regardless of party stripes.’ She also urged him to: ‘[A]ccelerate action on two fronts — advancing science to increase our knowledge, especially on societally relevant topics, and ensuring that knowledge is understandable, accessible and usable to the key stakeholders.’ ‘We are at a critical juncture. Smart action, informed by science, is paramount. The role of [the program] has never been more important.’ Kuperberg has been tasked with the challenge of producing the fifth edition of the National Climate Assessment. His deadline was set for late 2023. He already lost over six months to Trump’s pique. But he said work on the project did not halt in his absence and is certain it will be completed on time: ‘We’re not starting from zero. We’re going to put out a document that we can stand behind and be proud of.’ Indeed, he wanted the program to be user-friendly to everyone no matter their interest. He even incorporated customizable data: ‘Everybody from farmers, transportation managers, energy producers and citizens in small and large cities will face challenges from climate change. We want to put information in their hands to respond to those challenges.’ Kuperberg indicated that the next report should not start from ground zero but rather built on previous findings. The assessment used to be committed to thick volumes, but now they grace silk-stocking multimedia websites. As he said he envisioned it, the fifth edition would be a “dynamic resource.” Director of the Climate Center at the Gulf of Maine Research Institute and person  in charge of the fourth edition of the climate assessment, Dave Reidmiller, sent the Washington Post an email: ‘Mike is a humble leader, respected by his agency peers; you’d be hard-pressed to identify a civil servant more prepared to steward [the program] in this time. He not only has the knowledge of how to get things done through the interagency process, but also a keen understanding of the research needed to underpin aggressive, equitable climate solutions.’ Featured image screenshot via YouTube.  podcast, Gloria Christie reads her week’s most important news/ commentary stories in the liberal online newspaper   her newsletter for people on the go.

" unreliable,"Senate Restores Obama Legacy By Canceling Trump Environmental Law The Senate a measure reinstating an Obama era requirement for oil and gas companies “to check every six months for methane leaks from pipelines, storage tanks and other equipment installed after 2015 — and plug any leak within 30 days after it is detected,” The Washington Post Trump’s administration had revoked this policy, and the Senate’s move is meant to undo this revocation. Sen. Angus King (I-Maine) described the newly approved Senate initiative as a “repeal of a repeal,” and — if fully enacted — the measure “would effectively restore” the original rule from the Environmental Protection Administration, the Post adds. The measure that the Senate approved was put forward under the Congressional Review Act, which allows Congress to undo federal regulations (under certain circumstances) with the support of simple majorities from both chambers and an eventual signature from the president. Obviously, with a president of an opposing party in charge, usage of the act by Democrats to reverse policies from the executive branch would be difficult — but with Democrats in control of the House and Biden in the White House, the reversal of the Trump team’s erasure of the Obama era methane guidelines seems set for full enactment. Three Republican Senators, including Ohio’s Rob Portman, Maine’s Susan Collins, and South Carolina’s Lindsey Graham, voted in favor of the reinstatement of the Obama era methane guidelines. Overall, the measure — which is the first usage of the Congressional Review Act against a Trump era regulation — passed the Senate with 52 votes in favor and 42 against. (Not all Senators participated in the vote.) Critically, once a federal regulation has been formally undone via the Congressional Review Act, no measure that is “substantially the same” may be re-adopted by federal agencies in the future. Thus, any usage of the act against Trump era policies could constrain future GOP administrations. Republicans in the Trump era certainly didn’t hesitate to use the Congressional Review Act for their political wishes — while in control of both chambers of Congress, Republicans undid over a dozen Obama era regulations throughout 2017, including environmental protection and anti-corruption measures. Throughout the Trump era, the then-president consistently refused to approach the climate crisis with any particular level of seriousness. At one point, Trump even said that he simply did not “believe” a report about the looming negative impacts of climate change that had been produced by his own administration. Denying the facts didn’t make the need to protect the environment suddenly vanish, however. Throughout his time in office, Trump’s administration also repeatedly prioritized the interests of big business in the development of environmental regulations.

" unreliable,"Trump Reacts To Raid On Giuliani Like A Scared Old Man We are reminded of the aptly-named book by former Republican Rick Wilson when we think of Trump’s former fixer, the one he tries to keep at arm’s distance. This situation is bad for Giuliani. The FBI was especially interested in Giuliani’s electronic devices. Do they consider him a Russian surrogate who interfered with American elections? Was he a Russian operative? Attorney General William Barr may be in the putrid mix as deeply as the ex-mayor. Certainly, the raid was about much more than a foreign service case. The real question has been, if Giuliani is charged, will he flip on Trump? It appeared that Trump was trying to soothe his former attorney’s feathers when he told Fox Business’ Mornings with Maria host Maria Bartiromo: ‘Rudy Giuliani is a great patriot. He just loves this country, and they raid his apartment. It’s like so unfair and … it’s like a double standard like I don’t think anybody’s ever seen before. It’s very, very unfair. Rudy is a patriot who loves this country.’ It was rare for the FBI to take a warrant out against an attorney, because it has to meet such a high bar. Even higher, when they factor in that he was the president’s attorney and likely acting on 45’s behalf, according to The investigation appeared to cover whether Guiliani illegally lobbied the Trump administration on behalf of Ukrainian oligarchs. The ex-president told Bartiromo: ‘I don’t know what they’re looking for or what they’re doing. They say it had to do with filings of various papers and lobbying files.’ ‘Well, did Hunter [Biden] file? Did [President] Biden file? Because they did a lot of work with other countries. To the best of everyone’s knowledge, they didn’t file.’ Trump went on to claim that the current Department of Justice (DOJ) should be going after corruption in our nation. Ironic, is it not: ‘It’s a very, very unfair situation. It is so terrible when you see the things going on in our country with the corruption and the problems and then they go after Rudy Giuliani. It’s very said, actually.’ The ex claimed there was a double standard in how the current officials treated his administration versus how it treated Democrats. Any chance he was projecting? Then, Trump tried to deflect by turning to former Secretary of State in President Barack Obama’s administration and current envoy for climate change under President Joe Biden, John Kerry: ‘It is incredible because you bring up John Kerry and the horrible thing that he did and was doing for a period of time.’ Kerry tweeted his denial, calling the former president’s allegations “unequivocally false:” ‘This never happened — either when I was Secretary of State or since.’ The Mueller ReportAdventures: In Bite-Sizes  on this  . These quick, two-minute reads interpret the report in normal English for busy people.  Mueller Bite-Sizes  uncovers what is essentially a compelling spy mystery.

Some Republicans are incensed that president Joe Biden would ban red meat. Believing that lie is akin to believing that the new president is banning water and decreeing all people must drink creme soda, because that could be his favorite. Or it is like believing that all pre-teen children are banned until they reach adulthood. On second thought, that last one does have some merit. The beef ban lie raised its ugly head two years ago. It started when anti-Green New Dealers released this conspiracy theory with all of the cattle methane gas. Now, the lie has returned. Fox News Anchor John Roberts finally admitted on air that his show was wrong when it said President Joe Biden was trying to require Americans to sharply reduce their intake of red meat. It all started when the Fox host claimed falsely that the president’s climate change initiative would force Americans to cut down on eating red meat. POTUS did announce that he would cut U.S. gas emissions in half by the year 2030. Here is Roberts eating his own words, according to The Wrap: ‘On Friday, we told you about a study from the University of Michigan to give some perspective on President Biden’s ambitious climate change goals. That research from 2020 found that cutting back how much red meat people eat would have a drastic impact on harmful greenhouse gas emissions.’ ‘The data was accurate, but a graphic and the script incorrectly implied it was part of Biden’s plan for dealing with climate change. That is not the case.’ Roberts was referring to a study that came out in 2020. It looked at how American meat-eaters impacted greenhouse gas levels. The study argued people should eat plant-based or vegan alternatives instead of half their animal-based diet. Then, emissions would come down substantially. Apparently, Roberts and his team at Fox did not read The Daily Mail article carefully. It argued for: ‘[C]onsuming roughly one average sized burger per month.’ The White House got a chuckle out of this one, The Washington Post   ‘To White House aides, the wholly fictional Biden-will-ban-hamburgers story line was in part an amusing flare-up perpetuated by Republicans who have struggled to find ways to successfully attack the president. They joked privately that White House press secretary Jen Psaki should start her daily press briefing by eating a burger.’ host Larry Kudlow topped off that conspiracy theory with a frightening one of his own: ‘Biden was going to for the Fourth this year.’ Texas Governor Greg Abbot got his back up over losing one precious burger a month. Then, Donald Trump Jr. leaped into the foray saying: ‘I’m pretty sure I ate 4 pounds of red meat yesterday. That’s going to be a hard NO from me.’ Fox hosts added: ‘[F]our pounds of red meat a year,” alongside chyrons that read, “Bye-Bye Burgers Under Biden’s Climate Plan.

No steaks on the barbecue.’ Gun-toting Representative Lauren Boebert (R-CO) worried her gun-themed restaurant would eat into her profits: ‘Joe Biden’s climate plan includes cutting 90% of red meat from our diets by 2030.

" unreliable,"Biden To Reverse Trump's Spiteful Punishment Of Blue States The Biden administration policy provisions from the Trump era that restricted the ability of individual states like California to set their own greenhouse gas emission standards for vehicles. Eliminating opportunities for states to move on their own beyond potentially lax federal standards, like the Trump administration did, could set environmental protection efforts back a significant degree with environmentally ignorant authorities like the Trump administration in power. During the Trump era, the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration set up a rule increasing required fuel efficiency by 1.5 percent a year — although a nearly 5 percent per year increase in required fuel efficiency had been set to take effect under the Obama administration. In other words: the Trump administration was clearly not concerned with ambitious action against environmental degradation, and they sought to force individual states to stick to their own lax standards. An announcement from the Environmental Protection Administration that they’d be allowing California to set its own vehicle emission standards emerged on Monday, and last Thursday, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg “took his own action by proposing to withdraw his department’s part of a Trump administration rule blocking states from setting their own tailpipe standards,” The Washington Post explains. EPA Administrator Michael Regan ‘I am a firm believer in California’s long-standing statutory authority to lead. The 2019 decision to revoke the state’s waiver to enforce its greenhouse gas pollution standards for cars and trucks was legally dubious and an attack on the public’s health and wellbeing. Today, we are delivering on President Biden’s clear direction to tackle the climate crisis by taking a major step forward to restore state leadership and advance EPA’s greenhouse gas pollution reduction goals.’ Despite the Trump administration’s attempts to restrict California’s ability to establish its own climate policies, the state already plans to end sales of gas-powered cars by the year 2035, and on a more general note, thirteen other states and Washington, D.C., have adopted the emission standards developed by California. Going forward, fully procedurally reversing the Trump administration’s restrictions on environmental protection efforts will take some time — a proposed Transportation Department rule allowing individual states to set their own environmental standards for vehicles will be subject to a 30-day public comment period once formally published in the Federal Register, and it’s not apparently published yet. , “carmakers, autoworkers and environmentalists are eager to strike a deal with both the federal government and California to create one set of nationwide standards for tailpipe emissions,” and EPA Administrator Regan recently said that the Biden administration would be unveiling a proposed nationwide standard in July. Higher attention to environmental concerns contrasts strikingly with the Trump administration’s approach — at one point while in office, then-President Trump said that he simply didn’t “believe” a report on the looming impacts of climate change produced by his own administration.

" unreliable,"Merrick Garland Cancels Trump With Reversal Of Justice Dept Policy Attorney General Merrick Garland a Trump era limitation on the usage of consent decrees by the Justice Department in cases involving state and local governments. Consent decrees are binding agreements that are developed outside of direct litigation, and historically, the Obama administration used these measures to impose reforms on police departments with rampant misconduct in Ferguson, Missouri, and Baltimore, Maryland. Limiting the Justice Department’s ability to use consent decrees could harm the federal ability to deal with police misconduct problems and related issues. Garland commented as follows: ‘The [Justice] Department will return to the traditional process that allows the heads of litigating components to approve most settlement agreements, consent decrees, and the use of monitors in cases involving state and local governmental entities.’ ‘This memorandum makes clear that the Department will use all appropriate legal authorities to safeguard civil rights and protect the environment, consistent with longstanding Departmental practice and informed by the expertise of the Department’s career workforce.’ Originally, then-Attorney General Jeff Session imposed a memo limiting the Justice Department’s usage of consent decrees in late 2018, and his successor, Bill Barr, backed him up. This reversal of the Trump administration’s position isn’t the only such move from the Biden team.

Previously, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that employees are protected from anti-LGBTQ discrimination under federal civil rights legislation, but the Trump administration originally stated that they wouldn’t be applying this ruling to educational contexts, although schools that receive federal funding are covered by similar civil rights rules. Notably, Karlan (as a then-non-governmental attorney) was on the winning side in the Supreme Court case that formally won the protections against workplace discrimination.

As by the Associated Press, she “revoked a series of Trump administration orders that promoted fossil fuel development on public lands and waters, and issued a separate directive that prioritizes climate change in agency decisions.” While in office, Trump repeatedly dismissed the threat of climate change to the point that he once said that he simply didn’t “believe” a report about the looming impacts of climate change from within his own administration. No related posts. " unreliable,"Deb Haaland Starts With A Bang & Reverses Trump Policies Interior Secretary Deb Haaland to help undo some of the fallout of the Trump era. For starters, she’s ordered Interior Department officials not to apply any 2020 changes to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) “in a manner that would change the application or level of NEPA that would have been applied to a proposed action before the 2020 Rule went into effect.” In other words, Haaland is ordering the undoing of Trump era changes that would have substantively shifted the way in which the law is applied. Haaland’s directive stipulates that officials should bring the issue to higher-ups in instances in which the Trump era changes “irreconcilably conflict” with underlying regulations, allowing for an extra level of review. The NEPA legislation provides for analyses of relevant environmental impacts ahead of development projects like oil drilling on public lands, all of which are under the Interior Department’s ultimate supervision. The Trump administration slashed the time required for these analyses by about half and eliminated stipulations mandating an examination of climate-change related issues as part of the review process. Haaland has also established a Departmental Climate Task Force, which — as its name suggests — will be tasked with handling climate change-related concerns. As Haaland has also “revoked a series of Trump administration orders that promoted fossil fuel development on public lands and waters,” including an order that promoted oil drilling in Alaska’s National Petroleum Reserve. Haaland also revoked a 2017 end to an Obama era moratorium on federal coal reserve sales, although a department spokesperson noted that this cancellation doesn’t mean that the moratorium has been reinstituted. General corporate interest in leasing public land for coal in the first place, thereby buying up federal coal reserves, is low at present. Haaland ‘From day one,  was clear that we must take a whole-of-government approach to tackle the climate crisis, strengthen the economy, and address environmental justice… At the Department of the Interior, I believe we have a unique opportunity to make our communities more resilient to climate change and to help lead the transition to a clean energy economy. These steps will align the Interior Department with the President’s priorities and better position the team to be a part of the climate solution.’ During the previous president’s administration, the federal government turned somewhat of a blind eye to environmental protection and climate change concerns. At one point, Trump even said — publicly — that he simply didn’t “believe” a report from within his own administration about the looming impacts of climate change. No related posts. " unreliable,"Biden Admin Announces Wide-Ranging Investigation Of Trump Corruption The Biden administration a wide-ranging investigation of political interference in science-tied policy processes during the Trump era, providing an opportunity for the Biden team to develop a plan of action to help prevent similar abuses of power from unfolding in the future. The New York Times , the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy has “announced… the formation of a task force aimed at identifying past tampering in scientific decisions,” and this task force “will review the effectiveness of policies that were supposed to protect the science that informs policy decisions from inappropriate political influence and develop policies for the future.” Jane Lubchenco, who serves as deputy director for climate and the environment at the White House office leading the effort, noted how during the Trump era “[we] know that there were blatant attempts to distort, to cherry pick and disregard science — we saw that across multiple agencies.” Now, the Biden team is “ushering in a new era,” she says. As summarized by the Times, scientists working on federal policy plans have revealed how Trump and his top allies “routinely   who worked on issues the administration disliked, like climate change;   that identified serious health risks from certain chemicals; and meddled in scientific decision making, particularly around the response to the  .” In public, of course, Trump also routinely derided science-tied decision-making processes, from his refusal to regularly promote mask-wearing during the pandemic to his insistence at one point that he simply did not believe a report produced by his own administration about the looming impacts of climate change. Towards the very end of the Trump era, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy was involved in a serious scandal after Trump appointees David Legates and Ryan Maue were involved in the development of papers that cast doubt on climate science and claimed to be copyrighted by the White House science office but were not actually official federal government documents. Dr. Kelvin Droegemeier, who led the office at the time, was “outraged” over the material, according to an office spokeswoman. the papers included an allegation that a “large measure of faith” underlies claims that human activity is driving climate change, but the science to the contrary outlining the human role in climate change isn’t in question. Legates himself wrote in an introduction for the material that the “Office of Science and Technology Policy is pleased to bring you these briefs,” but again — the documents were not actually official government reports. The connection to the White House was presented under false pretenses. No related posts. " unreliable,"Move To Reverse Trump's Last-Minute Government Sabotage Announced If people feed cattle seaweed, they produce 98 percent less methane gas. Now, that sounds like a gargantuan project. Haul every cow to a tropical coast, suit them up in diving gear, teach them how to breathe through their oxygen link, and graze them on Asparagopsis taxiformis. Alternatively, this specific type of seaweed could be brought to our bovine brethren and sisters, according to But President Joe Biden is going down a different path right now. Donald Trump slashed and burned his way through President Barack Obama’s regulations. Senate Democrats have introduced a resolution to roll back a Trump-era rule that limits the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) ability to regulate methane. Senators Martin Heinrich (D-NM) and Angus King (I-ME) have already drafted their bill. It would use the Congressional Review Act (CRA) that lets Congress cancel any regulation “finalized in the previous 60 legislative days.” They plan to cancel out Trump’s methane rule, according to These two senators believe that when Trump dropped that regulation, it was just aide “to the oil and gas industry, which leaks heat-trapping methane during production.” Senator Heinrich released a statement that read: “In the wake of the Trump administration, there are very few Clean Air Act protections left in place to limit emissions of dangerous methane pollution from the production, processing, transmission and storage of oil and gas in the United States.’ Trump claimed that the methane rule he rescinded just got rid of the redundancy. Environmentalists disagreed. They were alarmed: ‘[Methane significantly more harmful to the planet than carbon dioxide’ According to some studies, methane is “80 times more likely to trap that…change-linked trapping heat in the atmosphere in the first 20 years than carbon dioxide is.” King also released a statement that read: ‘When it comes to steps we can take to address climate change, limiting methane emissions is the low-hanging fruit.’ ‘The gas traps an immense amount of atmospheric heat significantly more than carbon dioxide — and is relatively cheap and easy to capture. That’s why it was so dangerous when the previous administration neglected their responsibility to protect the planet, putting the short-term interests of polluters over the long-term interests of the planet we will leave to our children and grandchildren. It’s critical that Congress rolls back last year’s environmental sabotage, and reinstates rules limiting methane emissions.’   The CRA Report. Senators  (D-WA) and B (D-VA) want to use the CRA to implement a “resolution of disapproval for a rule weakening the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.” Representatives   (D-CO),   (D-CA), and Conor Lamb (D-PA) plan to introduce an identical resolution in the House.

" unreliable,"Buttigieg Cancels Elaine Chao With Reversal Of Trump Admin Policy Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, a former Democratic presidential primary challenger to President Biden who since joined the Biden administration, key policy-related initiatives from the era of his predecessor, Trump administration Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao. In the name of conservative anti-regulation ideology, these policy-related initiatives limited the federal government’s regulatory reach, which could obviously threaten federal efforts to address certain real-world challenges. According to The Washington Post , Transportation Department officials pointed to efforts to address climate change, racial injustice, COVID-19, and more that required strengthening oversight. , Buttigieg “formally deleted many internal departmental rules and policies put in place under his predecessor, Elaine Chao, that were part of the Trump administration’s push to pare back regulations, and in some cases, limit their enforcement.” As the Post also noted, one of ex-President Donald Trump’s many executive orders demanded the cancellation of two federal regulations whenever a new one was imposed, and there’s clearly no sort of systematic policy underpinning for this idea. It’s ideology, and the ideology is destructive to the operations of government. As Biden put it in one of his own executive orders, “It is the policy of my Administration to use available tools to confront the urgent challenges facing the Nation.” In other words — no blind de-regulation for the sake of it. Now, Buttigieg has ended “2019 regulations that governed how and when department officials can take ­enforcement-related actions or issue guidance documents covering cars, trucks, airplanes and pipelines,” Pollution is obviously a seriously pressing issue, but leaving the restraining regulations in place would have hampered federal abilities to address the problem. A Buttigieg spokesperson noted that the Trump administration’s plan “would hamstring the Department’s ability to respond quickly and effectively” to critical issues. Specifically, an executive order from Biden titled “Protecting Public Health and the Environment and Restoring Science To Tackle the Climate Crisis” requires a review of Trump era moves, including their end to Obama era emissions standards tackling pollution. Back in February, the federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., relating to a Trump era rule that kept California (and other states) from setting their own vehicle emissions standards separate from the Trump administration’s looser federal framework. As the Biden administration put it, the original rule “is under close scrutiny by the Federal Agencies, and the positions taken by the Agencies in this litigation to date may not reflect their ultimate conclusions.” In other words, the Biden administration was preparing to formally abandon the Trump administration’s position in litigation in favor of the rule restraining state-level emissions standards.

Regan has since reported that the misleading information was even worse than first thought. For now, he and his team are still analyzing data. According to : ‘In a letter to staff obtained by NBC News, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan said the agency would make good on a presidential memorandum on scientific integrity signed by President Joe Biden by updating policies, reports or data that suffered from political interference under former President Donald Trump.’ NEW: EPA is making a public accounting of attacks on science under Trump. Biden officials said the violations were even worse than they suspected. — Lisa Friedman (@LFFriedman) Regan stressed the importance of putting the science over politics, reminding government officials who refuse to pass environmental protection legislation that climate change will hurt those least able to survive it, a fact that should give anyone elected to represent and protect the people they serve pause. ‘When politics drives science rather than science informing policy, we are more likely to make policy choices that sacrifice the health of the most vulnerable among us…manipulating, suppressing or otherwise impeding science has real world consequences for human health and the environment.’ EPA, established by Conservative Richard Nixon! brings science back to website after Trump purge — Acupuncture San Diego Eyton Shalom (@EytonShalom) From the beginning of the Trump presidency, information on the EPA website went missing, updates included information that contradicted previous science, and all of that effort was motivated by the right’s fight to make wealthy Americans wealthier. That seems to have motivated most of Trump’s appointed officials, especially since most of them were very wealthy themselves. ‘Under Trump’s EPA, led first by Scott Pruitt and then Andrew Wheeler, the EPA was regularly accused of manipulating science and data for political purposes and to justify far more lenient regulations on polluting industries whose emissions contribute to global warming.

" unreliable,"Ron Johnson Suffers Widespread Public Humiliation (Again) Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.) is not in touch with facts. During The New York Times , he suggested that Greenland — a large island that’s partly within the Arctic Circle — was once “green,” and that’s how it got its name, he posited. Thus, he suggested, climate change isn’t an existentially serious issue, because Greenland — an icy expanse — was once “green.” The problem is that Greenland was not “green” at any relevant point of human history. According to the traditional understanding, the island has its name because Norse explorer Erik the Red wanted to “lure settlers to the ice-covered island,” the Times noted. . and confront Ron Johnson on his belief that Greenland was once green so climate change is just normal. — Alex Thompson (@AlexThomp) Johnson acknowledged that he was not certain of his belief about Greenland; “I could be wrong there, but that’s always been my assumption that, at some point in time, those early explorers saw green.” No matter his acknowledgement of his fallibility, there’s still a serious problem. Johnson is one of only 100 people in the United States Senate, and he’s so out-of-touch with basic critical thinking skills that this is the kind of nonsense that he regularly pushes. He’s not alone among Republicans in this regard, of course — just recently, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) in Colorado that mass Democratic resignations from Congress might be on the horizon. There is no real-world indication supporting her resignations theory. Another prominent example of this kind of problem is, of course, the idea that spread among Republicans that the 2020 presidential election was rigged in favor of Joe Biden. As the Times notes, throughout the weeks after Election Day, Johnson “refused to acknowledge Mr. Biden as the winner while echoing Mr. Trump’s false statements about rampant fraud.” In December, Johnson — in his role as chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee — held a hearing designed to explore baseless election fraud claims, well after many related issues were already settled. Recently, Johnson has faced criticism for insisting that he wasn’t concerned about the rioters at the Capitol on January 6 because of their support for Trump, adding that he would have been more concerned for his safety if Black Lives Matter demonstrators were present. Johnson subsequently claimed that there wasn’t even any violence from the rioters on the Senate side of the Capitol building, which is a brazen lie. Rioters broke into the building just a short distance away from the Senate chamber and eventually entered the chamber after Senators were evacuated. . : Sen.

" unreliable,"Marjorie Greene Gets Gaveled Off House Floor After Idiotic Meltdown On Wednesday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) reminded observers that she’s a willfully ignorant liar, although that wasn’t her stated intention. She spoke on the House floor — and was eventually gaveled down, once she went over her allotted time — about her opposition to the Equal Rights Amendment and prospective protections for transgender individuals. Although the Republican Party has repeatedly defined itself by opposition to basic scientific findings on subjects from COVID-19 to climate change, in this context, Greene claims to have science on her side in her anti-transgender crusade… but she’s not in touch with the facts. “Science,” unlike Greene’s claims, recognizes the fact that human identity is more complicated than “pink vs. blue,” and frankly, this concept isn’t difficult. Greene’s ignorance, however, didn’t stop there — she also claimed that the U.S. has “murdered” over 62 million “people in the womb,” which is, to say the least, not an accurate description of abortion, which she was discussing. Claiming that human life begins at conception is not “science” — it’s ideology, and it’s difficult at best to have even a basic discussion with people like Greene about serious topics when they’re spouting off such glaring ignorance. Greene commented as follows: ‘The language of the Equal Rights Amendment is simple, but don’t be deceived by its simple language. The reviving of the deadline and ratifying of this amendment would destroy all distinctions between men and women, enshrine abortion, and empower the woke feminist mob. The Equal Rights Amendment is dead and should remain dead… Have we not murdered enough people in the womb in this country? Over 62 million?.. If anything, we should be guaranteeing Constitutional rights to people in the womb.’ How on earth is ranting against “feminism” still a thing? Greene subsequently claimed that Democrats have somehow transformed the Violence Against Women Act into a “political weapon that… destroys all religious freedom.” Greene added as follows: ‘On the wall right here, it says, “In God we trust.” God states that he created male and female, not a plethora of genders that anyone can choose from.’ In fact, some religious people are accepting of LGBTQ folks, so she’s not even on-the-mark within her grossly irrelevant frame of reference. The Congresswoman subsequently added that Democrats want “men calling themselves women” to “sleep with women in domestic abuse shelters.” Her rhetoric crudely references attempted protections for transgender women, who have repeatedly faced threatening violence. Greene added that “science says there’s only two genders, male and female, according to the chromosomes” which is just not accurate. If we’re going by the chromosomes, then there are more than two options right there! Chromosomal differences appear in intersex people, and Greene can’t whisk intersex people out of existence by insisting that “science says” otherwise. Besides, chromosomes are traditionally tied to sex , and the difference between biological sex and the social construct of gender isn’t difficult. Watch Greene’s comments below: No related posts.

The committee chair was especially concerned that the fleet would not be fuel-efficient. If so, it would not fit within President Joe Biden’s environmental plan combatting climate change. Instead, she wrote that he was committed to all-electric vehicles. Maloney indicated that Oshkosh had submitted a prototype that had a gasoline engine. Competitors’ prototypes for the contract included electric powertrains. The way Oshkosh worded its bid included “fuel efficient or contain electric powertrains.” Maloney pointed to DeJoy’s testimony when he appeared before the Oversight Committee in February. At that time, he indicated that just 10 percent of the first order would include electric vehicles. The chair was also concerned about a report from The Bloomberg News It claimed that an unnamed individual or entity purchased $54.2 million worth of stock in Oshkosh, the night prior to the announcement of the USPS contract, which was highly suspicious. Maloney insisted DeJoy provide the documents she requested by March 26: ‘These reports raise concerns about the Postal Service’s selection process and contract award for the Next Generation Delivery Vehicle program. A thorough review is warranted to ensure the award process is free from undue influence and potential interference.’ The committee chair supported Representative Jared Huffman’s (D-CA) bill that would allocate $6 billion for the USPS. However, that money could only be spent on a new fleet with 75 percent of its vehicles electric or zero-emissions.

" unreliable,"Obama Tweets Instructions To Save The Planet As United Americans On Friday, former President Barack Obama shared a message on Twitter pointing to hope for the future of the planet amidst widespread concern over the mounting crisis of climate change. As he noted, hope and work can “make a difference” — and of course, with the infamously climate-denying Trump administration out of power, there’s a greater opportunity for the White House to be involved in these efforts. The Biden administration has already rejoined the Paris climate accord, ordered a pause to new oil and gas drilling leases on federal lands, cancelled the planned Keystone XL oil pipeline, and more. Meanwhile, alongside an article on the subject from The Atlantic, Obama poignantly commented on Twitter as follows: ‘Climate change is a real threat to us all—but feeling helpless or overwhelmed isn’t going to solve it. As long as we stay hopeful and keep working with the urgency the challenge demands, we can make a difference.’ Climate change is a real threat to us all—but feeling helpless or overwhelmed isn’t going to solve it. As long as we stay hopeful and keep working with the urgency the challenge demands, we can make a difference.  — Barack Obama (@BarackObama) Similarly, at the White House recently, President Joe Biden laid out his vision for action on climate change. He ‘It’s about coming to the moment to deal with this maximum threat that is now facing us, climate change, with a greater sense of urgency. In my view, we’ve already waited too long to deal with this climate crisis and we can’t wait any longer. We see it with our own eyes, we feel it, we know it in our bones.’ In sharp contrast, when in office, then-President Trump once said that he simply did not “believe” a report from within his own administration about the looming ramifications of climate change for the United States. Overall, the Trump administration often prioritized economic interests over those of environmental protection. For instance, they moved to ease restrictions on coal-fired power plants, although a federal appeals court these changes on the final full day of Trump’s administration.

" unreliable,"Biden Reverses Trump's Last-minute Economic Sabotage Attempt We watch as President Joe Biden moves like a fine racehorse, first out of the gate, racing toward a win. He has signed one executive order after another during his first 10 days in office. But his actions speak to a larger issue, undoing the most egregious acts of the Donald Trump administration. It will be a negative miracle if 45 is not tried for crimes against humanity. During his last week in office, the president of Mar-a-Lago moved,  budget technique called “rescission.” In a Biden wrote: ‘I am withdrawing 73 proposed rescissions previously transmitted to the Congress.’ Trump’s 73 budget reductions cross nearly every Cabinet-level position. Basically, installed the cuts to domestic program spending. These would have been in the 2021 federal budget had Congress not rejected them. But it did, The Washington Post reported. The woebegone ex-president used the Under the 1974 Budget and Impoundment Control Act to sneak his cuts through to fruition. A president can tell Congress to rescind, which is a budget rewind, authority over specific programs. Congress looks at a president’s request, and then it can freeze the designated programs for 45 days. After that time period, should Congress do nothing, the request expires., according to Trump sent a letter to congressional leaders in the House and Senate requesting that they freeze specific monies designated to programs. These cuts also included slashing the National Endowments for the Arts and Humanities, the Peace Corps, the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, and many others, The former president signed the $2.3 omnibus spending bill in December. But at that time he had said he would have specific cuts for “wasteful items” added. The spending bill included aid to coronavirus actions and the direly-needed $600 stimulus checks to Americans. He said: ‘I will sign the Omnibus and Covid package with a strong message that makes clear to Congress that wasteful items need to be removed.’ ‘I will send back to Congress a redlined version, item by item, accompanied by the formal rescission request to Congress insisting that those funds be removed from the bill.’ Congressional Democrats and Biden were quick to reject the ex-president’s proposal Thursday, according to the White House (D-CN) said that cuts attack aid to international food and vaccine help, renewable energy, and small banks: ‘President Trump’s proposed rescissions attack a broad swath of critical programs that help make life better for Americans and sustain our leadership around the world.  Can you think of anything more immoral?’   Chair of the House Budget Committee Representative (D-KY), said this was just another attempt by Trump to leave as much destruction behind him as possible: ‘These rescissions are filled with damaging and irrational cuts to programs critical in the fight against COVID-19, climate change, and strengthening America’s global leadership.’ The Mueller Report Adventures: In Bite-Sizes  on this  . These quick, two-minute reads interpret the report in normal English for busy people.  Mueller Bite-Sizes  uncovers what is essentially a compelling spy mystery.

" unreliable,"Defense Department Suspends Trump Appointments Over Sabotage Fears As the nation continues to reel from the fallout of the chaos of the Trump administration, the Defense Department the officiation of last-minute Trump administration appointments to advisory boards that work with the Defense Secretary. The block emerged within days of the official swearing in of the Biden administration’s Defense Secretary, Ret. Gen. Lloyd Austin, whose Trump administration predecessor — acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller — is responsible for appointments that his team targeted. Last December, Miler — who took over after the abrupt post-election departure of then-Defense Secretary Mark Esper — appointed individuals including ex-Trump campaign officials Corey Lewandowski and David Bossie to the Defense Business Board. Obviously, both of these individuals have pro-Trump allegiances. Breaking Politico: The Pentagon has suspended the processing of a number of last-minute Trump appointees to defense advisory boards. The move effectively prevents Trump allies like Corey Lewandoski and David Bossie from actually serving on panels. — Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) , the halt to processing for the late Trump administration advisory board appointments “effectively prevents” the Trump allies in question from actually serving on the boards. According to the same report, the “freeze announced on Wednesday pertains only to appointees who have not yet been sworn in or have completed all the required paperwork,” meaning that individuals whose onboarding processes are complete remain in place, for now. Nevertheless, prospective advisory board members including Lewandowski and Bossie “were still undergoing a lengthy financial disclosure and security clearance process that normally takes weeks or months,” according to sources for POLITICO. Defense Department spokesperson John Kirby — who’s one of a significant number of officials across the Biden administration who also served on the Obama team — confirmed as follows, referring to Austin: ‘The Secretary, as you would expect, is reviewing current policies in place across the Department to determine if any changes are necessary, to include the advisory boards. No final decisions have been made with respect to board membership. But we will make the information available should that change.’ At least a couple of the last-minute Trump administration appointments are rather incendiary individuals. Anthony Tata, who served as the Defense Department’s acting policy chief during the Trump administration, was sworn in to a spot on the Defense Policy Board on January 19, the Trump administration’s final full day in power. In the past, Tata has referred to former President Barack Obama as a “terrorist leader,” and he has characterized Islam as violent — and this guy is who the Trump administration wanted to have advising the Secretary of Defense. Scott O’Grady was sworn in to the same board on the same day, and he’s evidently a subscriber of the false conspiracy theory that the 2020 presidential election was rigged against Trump. Besides their work to directly confront some of the damaging impacts from Trump, the Biden administration has also been proactively working on key agenda items, like fighting climate change. On Wednesday, President Biden signed a slew of executive actions to combat the crisis, including a halt to new oil and gas drilling leases on public lands and a kickstart for the “process for the U.S. to develop an emission reduction target and a climate finance plan,” . Biden characterized his recent actions as “about coming to the moment to deal with this maximum threat that is now facing us, climate change, with a greater sense of urgency.” No related posts. " unreliable,"Lauren Boebert Has Embarrassing Public Meltdown Over Impeachment Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), a controversial first-term Congresswoman, is continuing her self-important effort to… complain on Twitter, or something. Boebert gained notoriety for stunts like her openly stated intention to carry a gun while on duty at the U.S. Capitol, and she has also spread nonsensical conspiracy theories like the ideas that the outcome of the 2020 presidential election was dubious and that President Biden is financially entangled with foreign interests. On Wednesday, she complained on Twitter about the impending second Senate impeachment trial for Donald Trump, one of Biden’s initial actions on immigration, John Kerry’s presence in the Biden administration, and more. On the impeachment trial, she commented as follows: ‘Yesterday’s Senate vote all but proves that impeachment is completely dead in the Senate. This is not as unifying as Pelosi said it would be. Can the five-year long political witch hunt finally end so we can get on with the business of the American People?’ Yesterday’s Senate vote all but proves that impeachment is completely dead in the Senate. This is not as unifying as Pelosi said it would be. Can the five-year long political witch hunt finally end so we can get on with the business of the American People? — Lauren Boebert (@laurenboebert) Boebert was referring to a Senate vote against proceeding with the impeachment trial at all, an effort that a full 45 Republican Senators supported. Only 5 Republican Senators, including Mitt Romney, Ben Sasse, Susan Collins, and others, supported moving forward with the Trump trial. Boebert’s insistence that proceeding with the trial is not “unifying” is a remarkably shallow assessment of present circumstances. The Democrat-led House impeached Trump because of his incitement of insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, an incident that placed members of Congress in serious and imminent danger. Now Boebert is concerned about unity? Pretending like Democrats have not been trying to move on with “the business of the American people” throughout the entirety of the last four years is ridiculous — the Democrat-led House passed bill after bill that the Mitch McConnell-led Senate just ignored. Boebert also rehashed right-wing complaints about government responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, which have included restrictions on business operations and social events, among other steps. Referring to an article about comments from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) about the seriousness of climate change, Boebert complained as follows: ‘Ready for their next “the sky is falling” trick? After all, why not? They easily gained so much control from the China Virus and they’ll need a new way very soon. More government control is not the solution.’ Ready for their next “the sky is falling” trick? After all, why not?

" unreliable,"Inspector General Puts 2-Former Trump Officials Under Investigation On Friday, the Office of the Inspector General at the Commerce Department it would be investigating an incident that unfolded shortly before the Trump administration left power, when then-Trump administration officials David Legates and Ryan Maue signed onto reports denying the realities of climate change that appeared on a third-party website but falsely claimed to be the work of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP). Democratic Sens. Mazie Hirono (Hi.), Sheldon Whitehouse (R.I.), Elizabeth Warren (Mass.), Ed Markey (Mass.), and Richard Blumenthal (Conn.) originally requested the investigation into Legates and Maue, who worked at the United States Global Change Research Program and OSTP, respectively. According to The New York Times , the reports in which Legates and Maue participated were “largely discredited theories, including one claiming the sun and not human-caused pollution is responsible for recent warming, and bore the logo of the executive office of the president.” Besides the logo, the material also explicitly “purported to be the copyrighted work of the O.S.T.P., representing “the current state-of-the-science” on climate change,” the Times adds, but these representations were false. Kelvin Droegemeier, who led the Office of Science and Technology Policy at the time of the incident, via a spokesperson that he was “outraged to learn of the materials that were not shared with or approved by OSTP leadership.” This new investigation is not the only new probe from an Inspector General’s office at a federal department into actions of Trump era officials. On Monday, Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz his office would be investigating the role that current or former Justice Department officials played in any “improper attempt to have DOJ seek to alter the outcome of the 2020 Presidential Election.” Horowitz announced this investigation after reporting emerged indicating that Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark conspired with then-President Donald Trump on plots to use the apparatus of the Justice Department to advance false claims of wide-ranging election fraud. At one point, Trump was apparently even considering replacing then-acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen with Clark himself.

Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), a first-term Congresswoman who has attracted notoriety for her belligerent promotion of dangerous and destructive conspiracy theories, is continuing her apparent effort to rile up her supporters against President Joe Biden and other Democrats in power. On Friday, among other posts on Twitter, she petulantly insisted that she works “for the people of Pueblo, not the people of Paris.” The comment references the Paris climate accord, which Biden recently moved to rejoin — but the Paris climate accord isn’t known under that name because it’s somehow exclusively for the people of Paris! The accord, which was formulated in Paris and outlines a plan to combat climate change, features signatories from across the world. I work for the people of Pueblo, not the people of Paris. — Lauren Boebert (@laurenboebert) In another post, Boebert pushed the tired lie that President Biden has some kind of financially beneficial relationship with foreign interests. She mockingly said that “Perhaps [Biden] can donate his salary, since he does so well on foreign deals,” which is just not accurate. Late last year, Biden campaign spokesperson Andrew Bates insisted published by The New York Times that the then-Democratic presidential nominee “has never even considered being involved in business with his family, nor in any overseas business whatsoever.” Referencing a son of the president, Boebert also complained that “Energy workers get to lose their jobs, while Hunter makes millions with a foreign energy company!” — but Hunter Biden’s foreign business connections just do not relate to the actual actions of the Biden presidential administration. Wondering if the Big Guy’s cut got upgraded since he’s now the President? He used to get 10%. Maybe he gets 20% now. Perhaps he can donate his salary, since he does so well on foreign deals. — Lauren Boebert (@laurenboebert) Joe Biden’s America: You have to wear a mask, but he doesn’t.

During the presidential campaign season, Trump and his allies complained that Biden was supposedly staying in his “basement,” which was simply not reflective of the basic reality of the situation. Biden went out for an array of in-person campaign events, and he sometimes held back because of the COVID-19 pandemic — a concept that is not complicated.

" unreliable,"Constitutional Amendment To Bypass SCOTUS Announced By Democrats On Thursday, a group of House members that would overturn the controversial 2013 Citizens United ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled that restrictions on corporate spending for political causes represented an unconstitutional affront against free speech. The ruling cleared the way for staggering levels of so-called “dark money” spending that have unfolded during the elections since the monumental decision, and the new effort against the ruling was led by Reps. Ted Deutch (D-Fla.), John Katko (R-N.Y.), Jim McGovern (D-Mass.), and Jamie Raskin (D-Md.). Prospective Constitutional amendments require the support of two-thirds of both chambers of Congress, at which point they’re sent to states, three-fourths of which must ratify the measure for it to become law. Although limits remain in place on what individuals and entities can donate directly to campaigns, so-called super PACs can raise and spend unlimited amounts of money with the stipulation of a prohibition against direct coordination with campaigns. To fix this problem of large amounts of money automatically equaling a large voice in the political process, the proposed Constitutional amendment would explicitly provide state and federal governments with the authority to more closely regulate political spending. Democrats, as a whole, tend to support electoral reform measures like this proposed amendment, while Republican support for similar measures is significantly more spotty, to say the least. Deutch ‘We cannot allow the wealthiest individuals and corporations to flood our elections with cash through complex webs of Super PACs and dark money groups that put special interests above the will of the American people. Americans overwhelmingly support stronger gun laws to keep our communities safe, action on climate change to preserve our planet, and a fair economy that doesn’t leave the most vulnerable behind or deny people basic needs like healthcare and a living wage. Unfortunately, big money in our politics gets in the way time and time again. Limitless campaign spending makes it harder for Washington to solve problems and opens the door to corruption. To ensure that our elections produce a democracy for all, we must overturn Citizens United and get big money out of our elections.’ There’s another action item on the agenda in the Senate that covers similar territory: the We The People Act, which the Democrat-led House has already passed. The legislation would impose ethical standards on members of Congress and the Supreme Court, require the disclosure of donors to super PACs, and more. At present, Democrats control the Senate, but lots of legislation requires the support of at least 60 Senators in order to pass, because 60 votes are frequently required to end debate. Amidst negotiations over a power-sharing agreement in the currently 50-50 Senate, where Democrats have control because of Vice President Kamala Harris’s role as a tiebreaker, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has insisted upon preserving this mechanism, but Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) is refusing. On Friday morning, that McConnell’s “proposal for how to organize the Senate is unacceptable—and it won’t be accepted.” At present, because no new organizing rules have officially been adopted, Republicans still hold the chairperson positions on a slew of important Senate committees, although this issue may soon be resolved. The American people chose to retire four Republican Senators and elect a Democratic majority to this Senate.

Thunberg has spent her time in the spotlight working to bring attention to the dire situation of climate change across the world, while Trump, to say the least, never approached climate change with any particular urgency. While in office, he moved to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris climate deal, and his administration also worked to roll back environmental protections in the United States — although notably, on his final full day in office, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit from the Trump administration that would have restricted efforts to stop the spread of greenhouse gases. On Wednesday, Thunberg posted an image of Trump leaving the White House alongside the following caption: ‘He seems like a very happy old man looking forward to a bright and wonderful future. So nice to see!’ Check out her post below: He seems like a very happy old man looking forward to a bright and wonderful future. So nice to see! — Greta Thunberg (@GretaThunberg) Back in 2019, after Thunberg spoke at a gathering of the United Nations, then-President Trump mocked her conviction with similar language. Writing via his since-removed Twitter account, Trump Thunberg “seems like a very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future,” which he said was “[so] nice to see!” Thunberg was, of course, one of many leading public figures who Trump publicly complained about during his presidency. On his way out of office, Trump went to his Mar-a-Lago resort in south Florida — although an agreement that the Trump Organization struck with local authorities stipulates that no one is allowed to live on the premises full time. Going forward, President Biden has already rejoined the Paris climate deal, and he’s also, among other actions, reversed the Trump administration’s planned withdrawal from the World Health Organization. One of the next high-profile items on the agenda is working on a new COVID-19 relief package, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) that the House would quickly get working on the legislation.

Dr. Fauci will deliver remarks as Head of Delegation to the Executive Board on January 21.’ “Today, President-elect Biden will sign an Executive Order that takes critical first steps to address the crisis, create good union jobs, and advance environmental justice, while reversing the previous administration’s harmful policies.” — Chris Fox (@ChristopherNFox) Although Trump virtually ignored the financial collapse facing average Americans as a result of COVID-19, President Biden recognizes that basic needs like housing are threatened for too many struggling Americans as a result of the pandemic. To that end, he intends to extend the moratorium on evictions and foreclosures to keep Americans housed until the pandemic is brought under control. ‘The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered an almost unprecedented housing affordability crisis. Today, 1 in 5 renters and 1 in 10 homeowners with a mortgage are behind on payments. President-elect Biden is asking the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to consider immediately extending the federal eviction moratorium until at least March 31, 2021, while calling on Congress to provide much needed rental assistance and extend it further.’ ""An executive order aimed at re-establishing scientific integrity in federal decision-making is high on the list, after four years of an administration that mocked or belittled the established science of climate change"". — whatgoesaround ☸️🕉️🐉🐘🌍🐳🐬🇧🇹🇳🇵❤️💛💜 ⛩🔻 (@WhatgoesA) Biden’s planned executive orders also mark a renewal of trusting in science and addressing the critical stage the world finds itself in with any hope of slowing the effects of climate change.

The same attorney general in New York who is pursuing him criminally tweeted today that she also intends to pursue lawsuits against Trump’s last minute executive orders targeting environmental protections. Trump has finished his term in office by continuing, in more rapid form, the rollbacks of Obama-era regulations put in place to protect the environment and slow the effects of climate change. Several of those rollbacks have been deemed disastrous for the environment, including a rollback of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, a policy that environmental groups are pushing back against. According to : ‘Under the Trump administration’s revised interpretation, the Act’s protections will apply only to activities that are specifically intended to kill birds. So-called “incidental” take, regardless of its impact on bird populations or how foreseeable that impact is — such as letting birds drown in uncovered oil pits — is rendered immune from enforcement under the law.’ Noah Greenwald, endangered species director at the Center for Biological Diversity, said that Trump’s policies have caused great harm to the environment. ‘Trump’s tenure has been a reign of terror for the environment, and his cruel insistence on destroying this century-old law is a testament to his total disregard for wildlife.’ Twitter was in full support of AG James’ intentions to fight back against Trump.

Although McCain is a Republican, she endorsed Joe Biden in the lead-up to Election Day, and she’s been serving as an adviser for the Biden transition team. Biden won Arizona, nabbing the state as a Democratic presidential nominee for the first time since the 1990s, when Bill Clinton was on the ballot. On Election Day, Arizona also elected its second Democratic U.S. Senator, Mark Kelly. As for McCain’s potential Biden administration role as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom, told the Times that the job is “hers if she wants it.” In public, Cindy does not appear to have conclusively indicated one way or the other whether she would accept a job in the Biden administration. Asked during a recent appearance on the daytime talk show The View about potentially serving in a Biden cabinet, Cindy observed that “this is an administration that’s going to be all-inclusive and there is a role for Republicans in the administration.” Biden himself has already indicated that he is open to the idea of naming Republicans to important roles in his administration. Before Election Day, Biden enjoyed the support of Republican defectors including the interests behind groups including The Lincoln Project and Republican Voters Against Trump. More recently, GOP Senators including Susan Collins and Mitt Romney have derided outgoing President Donald Trump’s attempts to undercut the election results. Trump has refused to conclusively acknowledge that a Biden administration will ever occupy the White House at all. However, there’s no meaningful evidence for his repeated bombastic claims of widespread election fraud. Local election officials and even the Department of Homeland Security have confirmed the absence of evidence of widespread election fraud. Biden has already publicly confirmed his nominees for key posts in his imminent administration. He’s naming Tony Blinken for Secretary of State and Alejandro Mayorkas as Secretary of Homeland Security; both individuals have previously worked at their respective departments.

" unreliable,"New Zealand Prime Minister Calls Biden & Recognizes His Presidency On Monday, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern she offered assistance to President-elect Joe Biden on tackling the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States. With a total population of about 4.9 million, across the entire pandemic, New Zealand has recorded just over 2,000 total COVID-19 cases and 25 COVID-19 deaths, as of Monday. In contrast, as of that same point, the United States has recorded over 12 million COVID-19 cases and over 260,000 deaths. New Zealand has imposed strict lockdown measures, while with Trump in charge, the United States has hesitated around lockdowns — to say the least. In New Zealand, Ardern said that she “offered to [Biden] and his team access to New Zealand health officials in order to share their experience on things we’ve learnt on our Covid-19 journey,” ; the outlet notes that New Zealand “is widely heralded as one of most successful countries in suppressing COVID-19.” Meanwhile, according to the of the president-elect’s conversation with Ardern, Biden “expressed his intent to strengthen the U.S.-New Zealand partnership” on fronts including the fights against both climate change and COVID-19, both of which Trump has routinely refused to take as seriously as the situations demand. Biden “also praised the prime minister’s extraordinary leadership after the 2019 Christchurch massacre, on COVID-19, and as a working mother and role model,” his team says. The Biden transition team has struggled to access domestic resources that they need in order to appropriately prepare to take over in January because of the refusal of the General Services Administration, a federal agency, to officially conclude that Biden won the election. At present, no remotely reasonable pathway exists by which Trump could overturn enough of the election results to come close to handing himself a win — but the General Services Administration has declined to act. Cooperation with those who’ve been successful in fighting the virus seems like a rather fundamental step, but could anyone outside of Trump’s base really imagine him taking something that another world leader said to heart if that leader didn’t pepper their remarks with obnoxious flattery? These days, as the U.S. struggles through yet another staggering surge of the virus, with strained hospital systems and rising death tolls across the country, Trump seems content to whine about the election on Twitter and play golf — and little else. His team has tried to garner praise for previously announced government financial support for the development of a COVID-19 vaccine, but this vaccine development support seems like a bare minimum.

Trump, on the other hand, has adamantly refused to accept the results of the election, claiming (without any meaningful evidence) that widespread fraud plagued the electoral process. Nevertheless, on Tuesday, Netanyahu spoke with President-elect Biden over the phone. Apparently, Netanyahu and Biden “agreed to meet soon,” the Prime Minister’s office .

In a warm conversation, the President-elect reiterated his deep commitment to the State of Israel and its security. Prime Minister Netanyahu said that the special bond between Israel and the US is a fundamental component of Israel’s security and its policy. The two agreed to meet soon in order to discuss the many issues on the agenda and reiterated the need to continue bolstering the steadfast alliance between the US and Israel.’ President-elect Biden has also spoken with world leaders including British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. While recently discussing his interactions with Biden on the floor of the British Parliament, Johnson about the prospects for U.K.-U.S. relations with Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris in charge. Johnson called his recent conversation with Biden “refreshing” — which seemed to implicitly contrast Biden’s behavior with the self-serving belligerence of the Trump administration. While in office, Trump has derided longtime allies of the United States.

" unreliable,"New Obama Book Details Released That Will Have Trump Raging In his upcoming book, A Promised Land , due for release on November 17, 2020, President Barack Obama writes of his concerns about the current state of the democratic system in the United States, wondering if it can survive and live up to its ideals in these troubled times. Although, in the excerpt released on Thursday, he never blamed any one person or party for the divide that threatens our democracy, but the specter of Donald Trump and his complicit GOP cronies looms large over Obama’s words. More than anyone else, I wrote my book for young people—as an invitation to once again remake the world, and to bring about, through hard work, determination, and a big dose of imagination, an America that finally aligns with all that is best in us. — Barack Obama (@BarackObama) The 44th president summed up the unprecedented times in which the country finds itself at the end of Trump’s presidency, with a global pandemic that has killed 250,000 Americans rising in severity, civil unrest over racial divides at a high, and with a nearly unemployment rate. In the , Obama writes: ‘Beyond the struggle to put words on a page, what I didn’t fully anticipate was the way events would unfold during the more than three and a half years that have passed since that last flight on Air Force One. The country is in the grips of a global pandemic and an accompanying economic crisis, with more than 230,000 Americans dead, businesses shuttered, and millions of people out of work. Across the nation, people from all walks of life have poured into the streets to protest the deaths of unarmed Black men and women at the hands of the police. Perhaps most troubling of all, our democracy seems to be teetering on the brink of crisis—a crisis rooted in a fundamental contest between two opposing visions of what America is and what it should be; a crisis that has left the body politic divided, angry, and mistrustful, and has allowed for an ongoing breach of institutional norms, procedural safeguards, and the adherence to basic facts that both Republicans and Democrats once took for granted.’ Barack Obama tells Scott Pelley Republicans who “go along with” the President’s claims of election fraud put democracy on “a dangerous path.” The former president appears in his first interview about his new book “A Promised Land,” Sunday on 60 Minutes. — 60 Minutes (@60Minutes) Discussing the political divide and the fragile state of American democracy, Obama said he had not lost hope. While he acknowledges that he was not a perfect president, he hopes that he did what he could to protect democracy and inspire our “better angels,” but he says he’s unsure how well he did. ‘What I can say for certain is that I’m not yet ready to abandon the possibility of America—not just for the sake of future generations of Americans but for all of humankind. I’m convinced that the pandemic we’re currently living through is both a manifestation of and a mere interruption in the relentless march toward an interconnected world, one in which peoples and cultures can’t help but collide. In that world—of global supply chains, instantaneous capital transfers, social media, transnational terrorist networks, climate change, mass migration, and ever-increasing complexity—we will learn to live together, cooperate with one another, and recognize the dignity of others, or we will perish. And so the world watches America—the only great power in history made up of people from every corner of the planet, comprising every race and faith and cultural practice—to see if our experiment in democracy can work. To see if we can do what no other nation has ever done. To see if we can actually live up to the meaning of our creed.’   ""Barack Obama is as fine a writer as they come,"" Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie writes in her review of the former president’s new memoir. ""It is not merely that this book avoids being ponderous, but that it is nearly always pleasurable to read."" — The New York Times (@nytimes) What gives him hope, however, is that voter turnout is surging to record highs. More Americans voted for Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential elections than for any candidate in history, and Donald Trump received more votes than any incumbent president in history. It took record numbers of people turning out, standing in lines, mailing in ballots, and casting their ballots to achieve that, but President Obama says that voters made the right choice. ‘The jury’s still out [on my presidency]. I’m encouraged by the record-setting number of Americans who turned out to vote in last week’s election, and have an abiding trust in Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, in their character and capacity to do what is right. But I also know that no single election will settle the matter. Our divisions run deep; our challenges are daunting. If I remain hopeful about the future, it’s in large part because I’ve learned to place my faith in my fellow citizens, especially those of the next generation, whose conviction in the equal worth of all people seems to come as second nature, and who insist on making real those principles that their parents and teachers told them were true but that they perhaps never fully believed themselves. More than anyone else, my book is for those young people—an invitation to once again remake the world, and to bring about, through hard work, determination, and a big dose of imagination, an America that finally aligns with all that is best in us.’ The audio book, though… — Barbara Malmet (@B52Malmet) No related posts. " unreliable,"Pope Francis Recognizes Biden Presidency In Blow To Trump President-elect Joe Biden may be the best-prepared president in decades. He has already assumed the presidential mantle in spite of the madness of Trumpism. He knows that rationality must take over the country during the transition of power. Even most of the Republican senators will eventually rise to the realities of the government of these United States. Biden is about to be the second Catholic president. He goes to church every week but lives his religious beliefs rather than talks about them. You know, the “do unto others” sort of thing. There is no way we would find him standing in front of his church waving his Bible around, upside-down, for a photo op. In a news release, Biden noted that he had spoken with Pope Francis among other world leaders, according to NBC New York: spoke today with the Pope and said he wants to work with him “on issues such as caring for the marginalized and the poor, addressing the crisis of climate change, and welcoming and integrating immigrants and refugees into our communities.”’ Donald Trump’s Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is still in the madness phase and is holding hostage a stack of well wishes. Biden has already spoken to a number of world leaders by phone anyway, since he won the presidential election. Thursday, Biden had a conversation with Pope Francis. The campaign released a statement thanking the pontiff: ‘[For] extending blessings and congratulations and noted his appreciation [of the  Pope’s] leadership in promoting peace, reconciliation, and the common bonds of humanity around the world.’ The president-elect also said he would like to work together with the Pope: ‘[To further] a shared belief in the dignity and equality of all humankind on issues such as caring for the marginalized and the poor, addressing the crisis of climate change, and welcoming and integrating immigrants.’ President John F. Kennedy was the only other member of the Catholic faith to serve in office. Biden matter-of-factly has talked about how important his faith is to him. He attends Mass close to his home in Wilmington, DE. Pope Francis said this about the corona pandemic causing “unprecedented economic and social challenges,” according to : ‘[It shows how the human family] is in the same boat. Nowadays too many people in the world are forced to cling to barges in an attempt to seek refuge from the viruses of injustice, violence, and war.’ The president-elect selected his chief of staff Ron Klain Wednesday and has many other members of his coronavirus advisory board already installed. The president-elect has also spoken to other foreign leaders. Among them are German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Emmanuel Macron, and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Election officials, both Republican and Democratic, across the nation have vouched for no real election irregularities. Trump even invited two groups of international election observers to watch. The process came out with high marks. The future of the Senate hangs in the balance of two Georgia runoff races in January.

" unreliable,"British Prime Minister Publicly Snubs Trump & Praises Biden The world is moving on without Donald Trump, whether or not he is willing to accept the reality of his recent presidential election loss. Current British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, a Conservative, is among the world leaders who’ve already personally spoken with President-elect Joe Biden, and during comments in the British Parliament this week, he majorly talked up the conversation between the two of them. Johnson said that his conversation with Biden was “refreshing,” and he said that the two leaders “strongly agreed on the need for the United Kingdom and the United States to stand together” to protect human rights, defend NATO. fight climate change, and more. During his conversation with members of the British Parliament, Angela Eagle — a member of the left-wing Labour Party — asked Johnson if he had any “advice for his erstwhile best friend, President Trump,” in the wake of Donald’s “embarrassing” refusal to accept the basic reality of the results of the recent election that he lost. In his response, Johnson referred to Trump as the “former” president, making clear that Donald really doesn’t have many, if any global allies in his fight against the election results. Johnson said, in part, as follows: ‘I had and have a good relationship with the previous president… It is the duty of all British Prime Ministers to have a good relationship with the White House, but I am delighted to find the many areas in which the incoming Biden-Harris administration is able to make common cause with us — in particular, it was extremely exciting to talk to President-elect Biden about what he wants to do with the [2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference] next year, in which… the U.K. is leading the world in driving down carbon emissions and tackling climate change.’ Watch Johnson’s comments below: After says he spoke with Pres.-elect Joe Biden, asks, ""Does the PM now have any advice for his erstwhile best friend, Pres. Trump, whose continuing refusal to accept the results is both embarrassing for him and dangerous for American Democracy?"" — CSPAN (@cspan) There’s an implicit stark contrast with the Trump administration’s behavior in Johnson’s remarks about his conversation with Biden. Donald and those closest to him have routinely dismissed environmental concerns in favor of goals like paving the way for big business. Johnson’s comments suggested that speaking with Trump may not have been quite so “excellent.” Donald Trump, as his public behavior has made abundantly clear, is belligerently self-obsessed, and this self-obsession has carried over into his relationships with U.S. allies, who he has routinely derided during his time in office. Trump has imploded global cooperative efforts like the Paris Climate Accord, Iran nuclear deal (which the U.K. signed onto alongside the U.S.), and more. President-Elect Joe Biden connected with key allies abroad, as his transition team released readouts of his phone calls to several of the United States’ closest European partners, like German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron — Forbes (@Forbes) Johnson is not the only perceived Trump ally who has signaled their readiness for the incoming Biden-Harris administration. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has done the same. Netanyahu, another right-winger, said that he looks forward to working with Biden and Harris “to further strengthen the special alliance between the U.S. and Israel.” In a follow-up message, Netanyahu thanked Trump for his “friendship” for the state of Israel and “for bringing the American-Israeli alliance to unprecedented heights.” No matter the niceties, the underlying implication here is crystal clear — Donald Trump lost, plain and simple, and it’s time for him to go. Congratulations and . Joe, we’ve had a long & warm personal relationship for nearly 40 years, and I know you as a great friend of Israel. I look forward to working with both of you to further strengthen the special alliance between the U.S. and Israel. — Benjamin Netanyahu (@netanyahu) Thank you for the friendship you have shown the state of Israel and me personally, for recognizing Jerusalem and the Golan, for standing up to Iran, for the historic peace accords and for bringing the American-Israeli alliance to unprecedented heights. — Benjamin Netanyahu (@netanyahu) No related posts. " unreliable,"President Biden Upstages Trump During Tuesday Message To America The two new leaders of these United States walked to the microphone today and projected a calm, confident air quelling an uneasy nation that has been living in four years of uncertainty and, yes, tragedy. Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris introduced President-elect Joe Biden Tuesday for a brief speech followed by some questions. The first thing Biden talked about was health care, reminding Americans that he understands deeply and personally about what illness does to a family. He lost his eldest son, Beau Biden, to cancer in 2015. He explained that as president there are many things he can do to help people access Obamacare (ACA/The Affordable Care Act). He said that there is nothing Americans can’t do if they work together, according to ‘Let us be the nation that we know we can be. A nation united, a nation strengthened, a nation healed.’ Even as the Republicans have refused to congratulate the man who will become president on January 20, he anticipates they will come around. He said he was everyone’s president, even those who did not vote for him, that he will treat them all like family. Biden said that Donald Trump’s refusal to accept his own loss simply does not matter. He and Harris have already begun the transition. When reporters asked him about Secretary of State Mike Pompeo saying that this is a reelection, Biden laughed. That spoke volumes. Americans can take a great deal of comfort from his place in their lives. He talked about “kitchen table matters” that people care about, that we need to get people some money during this time of job loss and health care for the coronavirus as a right, not a privilege. The man who will be president projected the air of authority of a president, which is so refreshing to people after four years of trying to keep pace with a Mad Hatter. Even as the president-elect spoke, the Supreme Court upheld most of the Affordable Care act. The entire nation is rapidly shifting with change toward optimism and opportunity. Biden has taken calls from a number of foreign leaders and more to call back. Asked what he said to them, the president-elect responded: ‘America’s back.’ According to he spoke with “ British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Emmanuel Macron and Ireland’s Taoiseach Micheál Martin, who each called to congratulate him on his victory, according to the president-elect’s transition team:” ‘First of all, I’m letting them know that America is back. We’re going to be back in the game. It’s not America alone. I feel confident that we’re going to be able to put America back in a place of respect that it had before.’ Great Britain’s Prime Minister Johnson tweeted earlier: ‘I just spoke to to congratulate him on his election. I look forward to strengthening the partnership between our countries and to working with him on our shared priorities — from tackling climate change, to promoting democracy and building back better from the pandemic.’ Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau posted this message: ‘We’ve worked with each other before, and we’re ready to pick up on that work and tackle the challenges and opportunities facing our two countries — including climate change and COVID-19…President-elect @JoeBiden and I agreed to keep in touch and work closely together.’ Biden’s speech can be read here in its entirety by following this New York Times link or watch it below: Welcome home, Mr. President-Elect Biden.

" unreliable,"French President Macron Snubs Trump & Congratulates Joe Biden No matter the Trump team’s adamant refusals to accept the results of the recent presidential election, the world is moving right on without Donald. Now, French President Emmanuel Macron has personally spoken with President-elect Joe Biden to congratulate him for his win. Biden has also personally spoken with world leaders including Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, and many other leaders have offered public congratulations to Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, indicating just how alone that the Republicans really are in their refusal to accept the election results. Macron shared a message on Twitter including an image of himself seemingly on the phone with Biden. The French President named “climate, global health, international security – and effective multilateral action” as among the priorities for the France-United States partnership with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in charge. Macron said as follows: ‘I spoke to [Joe Biden] to congratulate him on his election. We’ll have a lot to do together to promote shared priorities – climate, global health, international security – and effective multilateral action.’ I spoke to to congratulate him on his election. We’ll have a lot to do together to promote shared priorities – climate, global health, international security – and effective multilateral action. — Emmanuel Macron (@EmmanuelMacron) Donald Trump has stood in direct opposition to Macron. For example, Trump withdrew the United States from the Paris Climate Accord, which most of the world signed on to, committing to certain benchmarks for the fight against climate change. On another occasion, Trump wound himself up into a rage on Twitter over Macron, mocking France for their suffering during World Wars I and II, which is just stunningly petty. Trump’s volley of incendiary behavior turned the presidency into a global laughingstock throughout his tenure. Emmanuel Macron suggests building its own army to protect Europe against the U.S., China and Russia. But it was Germany in World Wars One & Two – How did that work out for France? They were starting to learn German in Paris before the U.S. came along. Pay for NATO or not! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) Now, Trump is refusing to accept the results of the election, which he ludicrously claims that he won. He has lauded an array of legal challenges against the election results that his team members have launched, and he has expressed confidence that these challenges will result in the election getting handed to him, but the evidence for his claims just isn’t there and never has been. There was no widespread fraud. There was no conspiracy to fabricate Biden votes in order to keep Trump down. Trump lost — plain and simple. Biden addressed Trump’s refusal to concede the election during a press conference on Tuesday, and he said that world leaders with whom he had spoken had expressed confidence in the ability of the U.S. system of governance to fend off Trump’s attacks on the election. ‘How can I say this tactfully? It will not help the president’s legacy. I think that … from my discussions with foreign leaders so far, they are hopeful that US democratic institutions are strong and have endured and at the end of the day it’s all going to come to fruition on January 20.’ Watch Biden speak below: No related posts.

I look forward to working with President Biden. Our trans-Atlantic friendship is indispensable if we are to deal with the major challenges of our time.’ Merkel said of Biden ‘[Biden] has a great deal of experience with German and Europe.

[Both Germany and Europe must] take on more responsibility [in relationship with US. Germany will stand side by side with the US [on tackling] the coronavirus pandemic, climate change, and global terrorism.’ Then, the chancellor turned to Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris: ‘[Harris is an] inspiration [and symbol] of what is possible in America.’ The idea that Merkel dedicated a significant portion of her remarks to congratulating Kamala Harris, the first woman and first person of color to hold the role of US vice president was touching. Merkel also pointed out the historical meaning attributed to Monday November 9, the anniversary of the Nazi’s 1938 massacre of Jews and the 1989 fall of the Berlin Wall. She said: ‘America played in the darkest and brightest chapters in Germany’s history.’ Deutche Welle’s Chief Political Correspondent Melinda Crane said it was no mistake: ‘[Merkel] linked those examples of tyranny to the healing role that America had played.’ Crane remarked on Merkel’s speech: ‘It was a] resounding affirmation of what she hopes will be possible with this new administration. The chancellor tends to be very measured and restrained, but that was a downright emotional speech [particularly] in the part where she talked about the treasure of trans-Atlantic relations.’ Featured image is a screenshot via The Mueller Report Adventures: In Bite-Sizes  on this  . These quick, two-minute reads interpret the report in normal English for busy people.  Mueller Bite-Sizes  uncovers what is essentially a compelling spy mystery.

He ended it with Rudy Giuliani in the back of a lawn service business with a porn shop on one side and a mortuary on the other. A rather ignoble end to a “golden” beginning. So what is next? After Americans rose out of the dust of a shaken but not fatally damaged United States, they looked around to see what Trump would do in the 70-odd days he has left in his term. POTUS may continue to act out his mega-tantrum. Still, our nation’s processes held, and the world welcomed our Lady Liberty back into the fold after her disastrous affair with a bad boy. If the GOP continues to indulge Trump, they only hurt themselves, especially in Georgia where the two remaining Senate seats await a run-off. If the Republicans take them, Senator Moscow Mitch The Grim Reaper McConnell (R-KY) will continue to lead the Senate and block any meaningful Democratic legislation. But if the Democrats take the seat, watch out Nelly. Our great nation will begin to heal the divide, but more importantly, we will begin to build a country more fitting to who Americans really are: taxes on the top .0001 percenters to fund healthcare and a muscular coronavirus pandemic attack. Those taxes will build a climate change industry as amazing as the trip to the moon, more powerful than any other. That means the solution to the essential underlying problem: jobs, jobs, jobs. That will provide dignity and respect for all and an equal economy for all. Trump tweeted a pitiful little tweet yelling into the nothingness “STOCK MARKET” and “VACCINE” “SOON!” Or not: ‘STOCK MARKET UP BIG, VACCINE COMING SOON. REPORT 90% EFFECTIVE. SUCH GREAT NEWS!’ Then, Trump stumbled upon Reuters’ breaking news that two tech companies, Pfizer and Biontech, have a “90 percent effective” vaccine for the coronavirus.

As is tradition, world leaders welcomed President-Elect Joe Biden and Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris.

The Dalai Lama urged the newly-elected officials to address peace, poverty, and injustice on the : ‘I’d like to offer my hearty congratulations to Joe Biden on his election as the next President of the United States of America. Humanity places great hope in the democratic vision of the U.S. as leader of the free world.’ His Holiness then asked the newly-elected officials to address peace, poverty, and injustice: ‘As you may be aware. I have long been an admirer of the U.S. as the anchor of liberty, democracy, religious freedom and the rule of law. Humanity places great hope in the democratic vision and leadership of the U.S. as leader of the free world. Particularly in these challenging times, I hope you will be able to contribute to shaping a more peaceful world in which people suffering poverty and injustice find relief. The need to address these issues, as well as climate change, is indeed pressing. After that, the Dalai Lama said he was pleased Biden chose a woman as his vice president: ‘May I also commend you for your choice of a woman, Kamala Harris, to be your Vice President. He continued, speaking about “matters relating to the cause of Tibet:” ‘Following my devolution of political authority over matters relating to the cause of Tibet to the elected Tibetan leadership in exile, I have been committed to promoting human values, religious harmony and the principles of non-violence and compassion, which I believe are very much needed in today’s world. Biden has long known the Dalai Lama through his decades in the Senate. He also acknowledged the “American people (‘s)” support of the Tibetan people: ‘I would like to thank you for your support for the Tibetan people, during your time in Congress and the previous administration, as well as for your statement in September this year. It has been the Tibetan people’s good fortune to have received the friendship and encouragement of the American people and their respective Presidents in our endeavor to protect and preserve our ancient Buddhist culture — a culture of peace, non-violence and compassion — that has great potential to benefit humanity as a whole. On their behalf, I take this opportunity to express my gratitude once again.

" unreliable,"Obama Issues Passionate Closing Statement To Save America From Trump It feels so good to have President Barack Obama back in town. After nearly four years of being dragged ever closer to the edge of the pit of eternal doom, Obama walks on the stage and we are freed. Just like that. He reminds us of all that is possible while still tethered to a firm reality check, and the exhaustion drops away. Finally, someone came and stood up to Donald Trump. Finally. In an example of the “audacity of hope,” Obama reminded us that we do not have to be passive. We are the government, not those legislators in Washington, D.C. He certainly went after 45, and it was delicious. Before Obama came back to us, the tweeter-in-chief committed dastardly deeds, each off of the scale of our imaginations. And we asked how low can he go? We stopped asking that question. On Wednesday alone 62,781 good Americans were diagnosed with the coronavirus. Trump willfully spreads this vicious disease, cruelly starting with his own fans, mocking them for wearing masks. Each death wounds America. Now, 224,170 men, women, and children lie in their cold dark graves, as POTUS regurgitated nonsense from a Fox News radiologist. Before Obama, the people were slowly turning to stone. Yet, President Obama reminded us that our superpower was our vote. Thursday, he tweeted us into action when he posted a video on Twitter, sharing that he had voted by mail and said: ‘I’ve been voting by mail for years. And you’ll see it’s not as tough as a lot of folks think.’ Obama even shared his ballot with us. How cool was that? He said: ‘Generally, I don’t share my ballot. In this case, though, I think you all know I’m voting for  and  . You may find that some of these local races, you don’t know what they mean. You don’t know who might be the most qualified.’ Then, 44 took the overload out of voting as he figuratively extended his hand and walked with us through the voting process: ‘Information source that you trust, or there’s an organization in your community that reflects your views or cares about your issues. A lot of times they’ll give you a voter guide and they can tell you, “Here are the various candidates and what they stand for,” so you’re informed when you’re actually filling out the rest of your ballot. Even a former president of the United States sometimes finds this really handy.’ The week before he came to help Biden and Harris, Obama made 18 individual videos, because there are 18 different ways for people to vote in their individual states: ‘So much is at stake in this election, from getting the pandemic under control to building a fairer economy to taking on climate change to protecting our health care. You can change our direction on every issue. That’s the power of your vote.’ Trump condemned mail-in voting, probably out of fear of being a loser. FBI Director Christopher Wray has been another lone ray of hope as he quietly stood up to Trump: ‘We have not seen, historically, any kind of coordinated national voter fraud effort in a major election whether it’s by mail or otherwise.’ Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro (D) said he thought 45 was trying to “create chaos.” There was the spoiled man-child banging away at the cornerstone of our great nation’s democracy, our vote. So far, over 50,000 people have voted in Georgia. States are breaking records over and over as they avoided the coronavirus scare. Obama continued: ‘The president (Trump) spent some time in Erie last night and apparently he complained about having to travel here. Then he cut the event short. Poor guy. I don’t feel that way. I love coming to Pennsylvania.’ Clearly, he did. Thanks, Obama. ‘ and I just voted by mail for and .

He posted a brief clip of Stahl without a mask on while on the White House grounds on Tuesday — which is rich coming from the guy who’s held a nationwide slew of packed and mostly maskless rallies recently. Biden and Harris were also interviewed by 60 Minutes & all are scheduled to appear in the same program. While Biden and Harris taped their interviews separately, Trump and Pence were scheduled to appear on camera together. They ultimately did not and Pence taped his separately. — Kaitlan Collins (@kaitlancollins) It’s not immediately clear if there is a specific point of contention that sparked Trump’s decision to abruptly abandon his interview with Stahl. He eventually posted some wordy angry tweets about the interview, which he called, melodramatically enough, “terrible Electoral Intrusion,” as if there’s some kind of media plot to take down his candidacy via… asking him questions. …Everyone should compare this terrible Electoral Intrusion with the recent interviews of Sleepy Joe Biden! — Donald J.

Recently, he has even frequently complained about the traditionally quite conservative Fox News. The president’s claims that there is some kind of conspiracy among journalists to make up “fake news” about him are, of course, entirely incorrect and utterly disconnected from reality. President Trump sat down with Lesley Stahl for about 45 minutes Tuesday before he abruptly ended the interview and told the network he believed they had enough material to use, two sources tell & — Vivian Salama (@vmsalama) Stahl interviewed Trump in 2018, and at the time, the journalist “challenged Trump on his views of climate change and Russian election interference.” The publication also notes that Stahl has previously revealed that during his original 2016 presidential campaign, Trump privately admitted to her that his incessant attacks on the press were specifically meant to lay the groundwork for discrediting potential future stories that could shine a negative spotlight on him. The admission mirrors a more recent admission that Trump made to journalist Bob Woodward, who he told on tape in early 2020 that he had been intentionally downplaying the severity of the Coronavirus pandemic. In this context, Stahl’s interview with Trump is scheduled to air as part of this upcoming Sunday’s edition of 60 Minutes , which will also feature interviews with Democratic nominees Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Pence ended up taping a solo interview for the show. Yes, Fauci has been on lots of shows and podcasts and webcasts. But at key points he has been RESTRICTED from appearing on TV. Indefensible conduct by the Trump WH. Imagine how anyone will try to justify it in 10 or 20 years… — Brian Stelter (@brianstelter) 60 Minutes recently featured an interview with Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health, who has helped lead the federal government’s response to the Coronavirus pandemic. During his time on the show, Fauci admitted that the Trump administration has sometimes shot down requests from media outlets for comment from him. Restricting a purveyor of potentially life-saving information from sharing that information with the public at every possible opportunity amidst a pandemic seems like an unconscionable act on the Trump administration’s part. Yesterday, decided to attack Dr. Fauci once again, calling him a ‘disaster’ and public health experts ‘idiots.’ Meanwhile, he still has no plan to beat this virus. — Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) Trump has complained about Fauci repeatedly recently. During a campaign call on Monday, he complained that people are supposedly “tired” of hearing about the pandemic from “Fauci and all these idiots.” Trump sounds unhinged — Fauci and his colleagues aren’t making up the crisis. Millions of Americans have been infected, and over 220,000 have died due to the pandemic — and Trump suggests that it’s only “idiots” who are publicly concerned with focusing on the crisis. On call with campaign staff, President Trump says people are tired of hearing about coronavirus. ""People are saying whatever. Just leave us alone. They’re tired of it. People are tired of hearing Fauci and all these idiots…Fauci is a nice guy. He’s been here for 500 years."" — Kaitlan Collins (@kaitlancollins) No related posts. " unreliable,"Conservative Navy Admiral Hero Defects From GOP To Endorse Biden Retired Adm. William McRaven — who is a former commander of the U.S. Special Operations Command and oversaw the 2011 raid that culminated in the death of terrorist leader Osama Bin Laden — has endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. McRaven, who has repeatedly spoken out against Donald Trump in the past, says that he has already voted for Biden in his home state of Texas, where early in-person voting opened up recently. Texans have already voted, and in polls in the state, the presidential race is very close. McRaven revealed his decision to vote for Biden in Wall Street Journal Although he did not use Donald Trump’s name in the article, the target of his ire was obvious. McRaven characterized the current state of the U.S. government as fundamentally unsustainable, arguing that the current chaos allows for a shift away from a global perception of U.S. leadership. McRaven insisted that “the world no longer looks up to America,” somberly adding that the world has been “witness to our dismissiveness, our lack of respect and our transactional approach to global issues.” ‘Truth be told, I am a pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, small-government, strong-defense and a national-anthem-standing conservative. But, I also believe that black lives matter, that the Dreamers deserve a path to citizenship, that diversity and inclusion are essential to our national success, that education is the great equalizer, that climate change is real and that the First Amendment is the cornerstone of our democracy. Most important, I believe that America must lead in the world with courage, conviction and a sense of honor and humility.’ “Courage, conviction and a sense of honor and humility” have all, of course, been rather absent from the Trump administration. Donald Trump has repeatedly used the machinations of the federal government for the benefit of himself and those allied to him. For example, he commuted the prison sentence of his ally Roger Stone, who had been found guilty of an obstruction of justice scheme meant to hide attempted outreach to allies of Russian intelligence services. Elsewhere, Trump has derided NATO, the Paris Climate Accord, allied countries like France and Germany — and the list goes on. Fundamentally, Trump has turned the U.S. into a spectacle. The status of the U.S. with Trump in charge seemed well exemplified by an incident at a United Nations General Assembly. Trump claimed during a speech that he had done more for the U.S. than almost any other president — and laughter rang out through the room. McRaven observes: ‘Now, the world no longer looks up to America. They have been witness to our dismissiveness, our lack of respect and our transactional approach to global issues. They have seen us tear up our treaties, leave our allies on the battlefield and cozy up to despots and dictators. They have seen our incompetence in handling the pandemic and the wildfires. They have seen us struggle with social injustice. They no longer think we can lead, because they have seen an ineptness and a disdain for civility that is beyond anything in their memory. But, without American leadership the world will indeed be transformed, just not in the way we hope.’ The good news is that Trump may be out of office soon.

It looks as if Donald Trump may be another no-show for the upcoming presidential debate on Thursday, October 22, at Belmont University in Nashville. He skipped out on his second debate after his worse than dismal performance in the first debate against his opponent Joe Biden. Normally, candidates are eager to have a second debate to make up for earlier mistakes. Now, he is causing trouble again. For this last presidential debate, the Trump campaign came up with demands on the Commission on Presidential Debates. He wanted to focus more on foreign policy, according to Monday the Trump Campaign Manager Bill Stepien wrote to the commission ranting about the subjects’ moderator and NBC News Correspondent Kristen Welker had announced. Stepien said the commission should honor the “long-standing custom” and make foreign policy the focus. He claimed that Trump only agreed to the third debate when he was under the assumption that foreign policy would be the subject matter. ‘s Chris Cillizza wrote: ‘There is literally nothing that I can’t fathom Trump trying between now and November 3 in order to win — or to make people believe that everything was rigged against him. And Trump’s campaign has already attacked the Commission, which is chaired by former Republican National Committee Chairman Frank Fahrenkopf, as “swamp monsters” and partisan, anti-Trump[ers].”‘ The Trump campaign manager wrote: ‘Our letter to the BDC (Biden Debate Commission)’ Stepien continued: ‘As is the long-standing custom, and as has been promised by the Commission on Presidential Debates, we had expected that foreign policy would be the central focus of the October 22 debate. We urge you to recalibrate the topics and return to subjects which had already been confirmed.’ Then, Stepien claimed was being “desperate to avoid conversations about his own foreign policy record.” He further accused the commission of trying to change the subject to “insulate Biden from his own history:” ‘The Commission’s pro-Biden antics have turned the entire debate season into a fiasco and it is little wonder why the public has lost faith in its objectivity.’ Biden’s campaign disagreed. It indicated that the arrangement was that the moderator was responsible for choosing the topic. This rule was announced just before the first debate started. Furthermore, Biden’s campaign said Trump was lying in order to avoid questions about the COVID-19 pandemic. National Press Secretary TJ Ducklo said: ‘The campaigns and the Commission agreed months ago that the debate moderator would choose the topics. The Trump campaign is lying about that now because is afraid to face more questions about his disastrous COVID response. As usual, the president is more concerned with the rules of a debate than he is getting a nation in crisis the help it needs.’ Stepien’s letter comes days after Welker announced the debate topics were, according to : Trump’s campaign has been complaining that the Commission on Presidential Debates, was trying to help Joe Biden win the debates. However, it is a nonpartisan panel. During the first debate, the president dominated the stage with nonstop talking over and interrupting Biden. Fox News’ Chris Wallace lost control of the room. Trump pulled out of the October 15 scheduled debate. The commission wanted a virtual debate, due to the pandemic. Trump was diagnosed with the coronavirus, so this was to protect the former vice president. There was still some question as to whether he was sick during the first debate. The president has already been attacking Welker and crying unfair. He called her a “radical Democrat” during his Arizona campaign and also said she would be “no good.” Twitter world went nuts after Trump talked about bailing.

" unreliable,"Ted Cruz Gets Owned By Democrats During Day 3 Of SCOTUS Hearing Ted Cruz (R-TX), in his patient and smarmy way, explained history to his colleagues on the Senate on Thursday during the confirmation hearing of Judge Amy Coney Barrett. After a full week of non-answers to every question, no matter how benign, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) then explained confirmation hearings to the silent Ted Cruz. Sen. Dick Durbin says confirmation process has become ""almost useless"" and that Barrett refused answers about rights spelled out in the Constitution: ""I would be afraid to ask her about the presence of gravity on Earth. She may decline to answer because it may come up in a case"" — CBS News (@CBSNews) With his usual smirk, Cruz insinuated that Democrats are just salty because they didn’t even get the courtesy of a confirmation hearing for President Obama’s nominee, Merrick Garland, when Justice Antonin Scalia passed just short of a year before a presidential election in 2016. Cruz patronizingly reminded Democrats that Republican presidents and Republican senators get to confirm judges when they hold power, and they’ll do it this year because they can, despite the hypocrisy. ‘I recognize our Democratic friends wish a different president had been elected in 2016. I am sympathetic to those arguments. I recognize our Democratic friends wish there was a Democratic majority in the Senate, but the voters decided otherwise. This committee moving forward is consistent with over 200 years of history and precedent.’ On Day 4 of the Barrett confirmation hearings, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) says, “What was the purpose of this hearing if we've reached a point now where we really don’t know what she thinks about any issues, any major issues?” — The Recount (@therecount) Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin then, just as patiently so he could understand, explained exactly why this confirmation process doesn’t follow historical president, namely because the legislative body is so deeply divided that the GOP nominee, Barrett, is unable to answer basic questions during the hearing because they might cause controversy. Although a nominee shouldn’t answer questions on policy, it has been strikingly odd how Barrett refused to answer questions on basic constitutional law, such as whether the Constitution allows for a president to delay an election or whether climate change is real. ‘One of the things we have witnessed here in the time I have served on this committee is a denigration of the process to the point where it is almost useless. We have reached a point now where gifted, experienced jurists, legal scholars take that seat behind the table and then deny everything, refuse to answer anything. Consider that, a situation where we asked the nominee, can a president unilaterally delay a presidential election? She could not answer it — too political. Too political?’ ""It just defies logic"": Sen. Dick Durbin says Amy Coney Barrett ""hides behind originalism — she's not the only one, many do — but won't even go to the original words of the Constitution when it comes to the transition of power"" — CBS News (@CBSNews) With no way to fully question the nominee and get concrete answers, the confirmation process is impossible. Donald Trump has already promised to nominate judges with very specific views on controversial cases, but Barrett’s refusal to answer basically any question doesn’t allow voters to know for sure where she stands on anything. Clearly, she was chosen for her policy positions. ‘We know this process is really stacked. The president told us so repeatedly. We can’t get a direct answer from the nominee, we get direct answers every day from the tweets of the president. We know what his motives were in nominating this person for the Supreme Court, he does not cover it up. It was to make sure there was someone on the court to eliminate the Affordable Care Act.’   No related posts. " unreliable,"Obama Issues Pre-Election Marching Orders Like A Real Leader In states across the country, Republicans who fear losing big in 2020 have worked to suppress the voter turnout, goaded along and supported by their party leader, Donald Trump. From limiting the number of drop boxes to more nefarious methods, such as placing fake drop boxes around their cities, the GOP has done everything in their considerable power to ensure that as few voters as possible have their votes counted. The California Republican Party admitted responsibility for placing more than 50 deceptively labeled “official” drop boxes for mail-in ballots in Los Angeles, Fresno and Orange Counties — which is ILLEGAL. — Tim O'Brien (@TimOBrien) To help combat this, President Barack Obama filmed a set of 15 videos, state-specific to Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, and Wisconsin explaining the most important information on how to vote in those states. In the video, Obama says that: ‘So much is at stake in this election, from getting the pandemic under control to building a fairer economy to taking on climate change to protecting our healthcare. You can change our direction on every issue. That’s the power of your vote.’ Trump has lost lawsuits challenging pandemic-related mail-in voting plans in Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, and, most recently, Pennsylvania. Fight Trump's voter suppression efforts with votes – visit and make a plan now! — Democratic Coalition (@TheDemCoalition) The effort follows the repeated attempts to suppress the vote, an issue that Obama takes very seriously. Since the Republican Party relies on low turnout to win, it is more important than ever for Democrats to get their votes cast. According to : ‘During the 2020 campaigns, Democrats have routinely accused the GOP of engaging in voter suppression while Republicans have in turn claimed the existence of widespread voter fraud, despite almost no evidence to suggest that major voter fraud occurs in the U.S.’ This is what voter suppression looks like. In the year 2020, people shouldn't have to wait in line for 5 hours to exercise a constitutional right to vote. We need federal law which respects democracy and makes it easy to vote in every state and end all forms of voter suppression. — Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) The efforts are working, too. Record turnout in early voting numbers in states like Georgia, Kentucky, Texas, and South Carolina have shocked observers and threaten the GOP’s strongholds in those states. ‘Michael McDonald of the University of Florida, which runs the United States Election Project, predicts that up to 150 million people could vote this year, 65% of eligible voters. This would be the highest percentage of voter turnout since 1908. ‘In 2016, about 58 percent of eligible voters turned out to vote, a similar rate seen in the 2012 presidential election.’ To watch one of Obama’s new videos, see below: Featured image screenshot via No related posts. " unreliable,"Flood Of Newspapers Concurrently Shun Trump & Endorse Joe Biden As Election Day approaches, the Biden-Harris campaign has of 19 newspapers in a week. The newspapers are spread across a total of 14 states, and they include publications in high-profile battleground states like Arizona, Florida, and Pennsylvania, where Biden is in the lead in polling averages but Trump continues to show a sizable level of support. While the national popular vote margin could be sizable, the difference between candidates might be smaller in the final results in individual states. Every bit of support counts. Besides Arizona, Florida, and Pennsylvania, the newspapers that have newly endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and running mate Kamala Harris are found across Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Texas, and Wisconsin. Among examples of similar praise for the Democratic presidential pick, the Tampa Bay Times — a southwest Florida publication — Biden “outmatches his opponent at every turn” and referred to the former vice president as “a decent man and a leader who can help heal the country and put it back on course to meet the pressing challenges of our times.” Can anyone really credibly insist that the Trump campaign platform includes anything along the lines of “healing”? It runs on vitriol. The Houston Chronicle is another one of the newly Biden-backing papers. Although Texas still leans towards the Republicans, a resounding Republican victory is not a certainty — as of Tuesday afternoon, Trump led in polling in the state by an average of according to FiveThirtyEight. That margin definitely puts Biden in a position for a potential upset win in the state. The Houston Chronicle ‘Biden’s accomplishments speak for themselves: A U.S. senator by 29. An early voice for campaign finance reform and taking action on climate change. A champion for the assault weapons ban. Author of the Violence Against Women Act.

" unreliable,"Pope Francis Publicly Snubs Trump Administration  There is a man who refuses to see Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. That decision seems appropriate given how the Donald Trump Gang has been bombing centuries-old traditions, breaking through laws as if they were water, and sent 206,918 innocent men, women, and children to their coronavirus graves. Even though this man is quietly humble, he weilds great power from his self-contained entity in Rome. Pope Francis started out in Buenos Aires, Argentina as a scientist, according to : ‘Once you’re a scientist, you’re always a scientist, and Pope Francis was once a scientist. In recent years, the pope’s outspoken views on issues like the environment seem to reveal his familiarity with life in a lab. Some scientists applaud his efforts to filter empirical knowledge into theology. But for others, Pope Francis embodies the Catholic Church’s long history of stopping short of being totally pro-science.’ The Pope has compared Trump to King Herrod. He was the guy in the Bible who ordered the murder of all the infants in Bethlehem, because he thought the infant Jesus was going to replace him. Pope Francis wrote about climate change in a letter of Catholic doctrine: ‘Climate change is a global problem with grave implications: environmental, social, economic, political and for the distribution of goods. It represents one of the principal challenges facing humanity in our day.’ The reason Pompeo wanted to visit the Vatican was to protest the renewal of a two-year-long deal between the Catholic Church and China ready for renewal. For some reason, Pompeo thought he could tell the Church the deal would “endanger the church’s moral authority.” Oh, please. The secretary will travel to the Vatican along with Greece, Italy, and Croatia “to promote diplomatic relations and religious freedoms.” Pompeo is scheduled to meet at the Vatican with “Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin and Archbishop Paul Gallagher, the foreign minister for the Vatican.” Pompeo argued the Vatican should not renew its deal with China, His excuse is Xi Jinping’s administration facing accusations of religious persecution: ‘It is good to see that the morally inviolable USA puts religious freedom at the top of its agenda – if it did not how could they have any dealings with its friends in Saudi Arabia, or did I get something wrong there?’ The Holy See noted that the impending election as his reason for not seeing the Trump acolyte: ‘[Pompeo boasted] of the nefarious, illegal and immoral acts he carried out while in the CIA, including the gravest of crimes. As they were done in service of the USA they were by definition done by the good guys and so were magically transformed into moral acts. Thus he can – with no sense of being ridiculous- go to the Vatican and lecture the Pope on morality.’ In the encyclical, Pope Francis wrote that: ‘[T]he sustainability issues of growing populations could be addressed by redistributing wealth, fighting food waste, and stopping runaway consumerism.’ The reason for the deal between China and the Vatican is: ‘The deal allows the Vatican to have a say in the Catholic bishops appointed in China. Since the historic deal was agreed upon two years ago, two new bishops have been appointed in China after consultation with the Vatican.’ Pompeo wrote in an article this month, according to ‘The human rights situation in China has deteriorated severely under the autocratic rule of Xi Jinping, especially for religious believers.’ The secretary claimed that: ‘[There are] credible reports [of] forced sterilizations and abortions of Muslims in Xinjiang [as well as] abuse of Catholic priests and laypeople.’ It appears that Trump and all his gang members will not be happy with planning to conquor America but dominate the whole world. Pope Francis may be small, but he moves mountains.The Vatican can see through his words. Still, Pompeo continued with his futile arguments: ‘The Holy See has a unique capacity and duty to focus the world’s attention on human rights violations, especially those perpetrated by totalitarian regimes like Beijing’s in the late 20th century, the church’s power of moral witness helped inspire those who liberated central and eastern Europe from communism, and those who challenged autocratic and authoritarian regimes in Latin America and East Asia.’ He continued to argue: ‘What the church teaches the world about religious freedom and solidarity should now be forcefully and persistently conveyed by the Vatican in the face of the Chinese Communist party’s relentless efforts to bend all religious communities to the will of the party and its totalitarian program.’ Twitter world lit up.

At Tuesday night’s debate, two candidates stood on the stage: one focused and calm, talking about policies and the very real concerns facing Americans today.

His endless grievance parties, talking about how unfair everyone and everything is for him, is wearing thin. He’s been in power for four years and is still blaming everyone but himself for COVID-19, a failing economy, and now his disastrous debate performance. CBS News/YouGov snap poll: 38% of voters said the debate made them think better of Biden compared to 24% who said the same of Trump. 42% said the debate made them think *less* of Trump compared to 32% who said the same of Biden. — Josh Jordan (@NumbersMuncher) Trump’s taunting about “radical left Democrats” is in reference to Joe Biden saying that his healthcare plan is not the same as Medicare for All and his climate change policies aren’t the Green New Deal. Voters knew when they went to the polls during the primaries and selected Biden as the Democratic candidate that they weren’t getting a Bernie Sanders by another name, and Sanders has repeatedly endorsed the former Vice President. To Trump, however, a politician must appease his most radical voters. That’s why he can’t quite bring himself to denounce white supremacist groups like The Proud Boys.

" unreliable,"200 Ret. Generals & Admirals Condemn Trump & Endorse Biden Disadvantages for President Donald Trump are piling up as the general election approaches. Now, more than 200 former top officials from across the U.S. Armed Forces endorsing Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. The officials, including Republicans, Democrats, and independents, characterize Trump as someone who is not and will not be fit for the position of commander-in-chief. In their joint letter, they cite specific issues like Trump’s failure to effectively confront climate change and his failure to meaningfully address the nuclear threat from North Korea (Trump’s meetings with the country’s dictator Kim Jong Un have resulted in nothing major). The signatories of the Biden endorsement letter also characterize the Democratic nominee as someone who is, on a basic level, able to rise to the responsibilities that are required of the presidency. Trump frequently seems to prefer golfing, watching television, and delivering long, rambling rally-rants to actually fulfilling the basic responsibilities of the presidency. ‘While some of us may have different opinions on particular policy matters, we trust Joe Biden’s positions are rooted in sound judgment, thorough understanding, and fundamental values… The current President has demonstrated he is not equal to the enormous responsibilities of his office; he cannot rise to meet challenges large or small. Thanks to his disdainful attitude and his failures, our allies no longer trust or respect us, and our enemies no longer fear us.’ The officials had other examples of Trump’s failures besides climate change and North Korea. They wrote that Trump has “ceded influence to a Russian adversary who puts bounties on the heads of American military personnel,” and they noted that his punitive and arbitrary “trade war against China has only harmed America’s farmers and manufacturers.” Trump has claimed that the administration has been taking in billions of dollars from China via the tariffs that he has placed on many Chinese goods, but this claim is false. Import taxes are generally paid by the company doing the importing — meaning the steep tariffs that Trump has imposed have been tax hikes on American businesses. The endorsement letter’s signatories include (among many others) Air Force Gen. Paul Selva, Navy SEAL leader Vice Adm. Gardner Howe, and retired Adm. Paul Zukunft, all of whom served, for at least a time, while Trump was in office. Selva was vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff until August 2019 — a prominent role. Besides the more than 200 former top military officials, the new Biden endorsement letter also includes the signatures of nearly 300 other former national security officials and diplomats from across the government, including five former defense secretaries. Retired Adm. Steve Abbot, who is among the new Biden endorsers, commented: ‘My own personal view is that I have a duty to be involved in civic matters of the nation that I’m a citizen [of]… Over the past four years, I’ve seen what is a clear manipulation of our military to serve his personal needs. The military has been a loyal, reliable constant in this country because of its apolitical nature. And here we had a president working to undermine it.’ Just recently, a report emerged in The Atlantic revealing that, behind the scenes, Trump had apparently referred to American service members killed in action as “losers” and “suckers.” Based on his own public behavior, it’s clear — Trump is in this for himself, and leaving the American people behind.

" unreliable,"Hillary Clinton Makes Thursday Leadership Move As Trump Falters As fires rage across the Western United States, former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has taken to Twitter to urge Americans to closely consider the situation when casting their ballot this November (or in the time before Election Day). Clinton, of course, endorsed current Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden awhile back, and the implication of her message is clear: the idea is that a second Trump term represents a continuation of the current federal ambivalence towards dangerous climate change. A Biden presidency, Clinton implies, would represent a turn towards taking the crisis seriously. Alongside a photo of fires in the vicinity of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Clinton commented: ‘None of this is normal, and confronting climate change is on the ballot this year. Vote, as early as you can, for a habitable planet.’ None of this is normal, and confronting climate change is on the ballot this year. Vote, as early as you can, for a habitable planet. — Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) The Biden-Harris includes some ambitious promises. For instance, on the Biden campaign website, the campaign states that a Biden-Harris administration would “Ensure the U.S. achieves a 100% clean energy economy and reaches net-zero emissions no later than 2050.” That’s less than 30 years away — not even half a generation. The campaign plan notes that, if elected, they’ll push for “milestone targets” scheduled for the end of Biden’s potential first term that would help ensure that the country was on the right track. Biden also wants “a federal investment of $1.7 trillion over the next ten years” in fields like clean energy development, his campaign says, and a potential Biden administration would seek to increase the total invested to $5 trillion through partnerships with interests like local governments. In contrast to Biden, Trump has consistently downplayed the threat of climate change. His administration has worked, for instance, to ease emissions standards for automobiles, which could sharply increase the level of greenhouse gas emissions sent up into the atmosphere. They’ve also worked to eliminate federal oversight of certain bodies of water, and more, much of which has been in the name of protecting big business.

" unreliable,"Federal Court Rules Against Trump Again As GOP Losing Streak Continues This week, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals a Trump administration attempt to make life easier for vehicle manufacturers whose vehicles don’t meet fuel efficiency standards. The Trump administration had attempted to dramatically slash the fines that car manufacturers would have to pay per tenth of a mile per gallon that each vehicle goes above the federal government’s fuel economy standard. Whereas the fine had previously been apparently set at $14 per tenth of a mile per gallon, the Trump administration had sought a level of $5.50 — a big drop. Fuel economy-related fines quickly accumulate when applied to every vehicle from a particular manufacturer that exceeds the standards. The latest ruling from the Second Circuit Appeals Court is the second time that the court has weighed in on the issue. Previously, prior to the 2019 fines change that was imposed by the Trump Administration’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the court had ruled against the Trump administration’s attempt to delay an increase in the fuel economy-related fines that had been scheduled by Congress in 2015. Federal legislation known as the Improvements Act includes provisions for an increase in monetary penalties that’s meant to keep the weight of the penalties in line with inflation. Subsequently, the Trump administration appears to have attempted to slash much of the fines altogether — and they employed a similar tactic when it comes to the fuel economy standards themselves. Although the Obama administration demanded automobiles to be at nearly 55 miles per gallon across the board by 2025, the Trump administration dialed those levels down to demand 40 miles per gallon by 2026. As in the fuel economy-related fines case, lawsuits have emerged following that rule change — and the state of California has struck its own deal with automobile manufacturers under which produced vehicles would be more in line with Obama-era standards. In this case, environmental groups and a full 13 states sued over the Trump administration’s attempt to roll back the fines for violating fuel efficiency standards. The Sierra Club, which participated in the lawsuit, : ‘Once again, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has ruled that the Trump Administration cannot give away polluting passes to automakers who lag behind on meeting standards required by law. This is yet another reminder to  ’s NHTSA that the agency must comply with the law and set strong civil penalties that promote fuel economy and encourage automakers to meet the clean car standards.’ The Trump administration has consistently sought to undermine environmental safety regulations for the purpose of paving the way for big business. For instance, the administration has repealed the so-called Waters of the United States rule, which expanded the waterways that were under federal jurisdiction and subject to cleanliness standards. The Trump administration also moved to withdraw the United States from the Paris Climate Accord, which was an agreement between the vast majority of countries outlining steps to curtail carbon emissions and otherwise thwart climate change. At one point, Trump even derided a report on the looming effects of climate change that had been produced by his own administration, telling reporters that he simply didn’t believe it.

In the article explaining their decision, the paper’s editorial board writes that the upcoming election is a critical point for the United States, which they characterize as a moment when Americans can either further descend into the narcissistic near-autocracy of Trump’s regime or take a different road under the honorable, levelheaded leadership of a Biden administration. ‘[Now], as former President Barack Obama declared last week, the main question is whether the presidency will be “the custodian of this democracy” and “defend the freedoms and ideals that so many Americans marched for and went to jail for, fought for and died for.” Biden and Harris have what it takes to do that. They have the essential integrity, ability, experience and proven dedication to uphold the Constitution, serve the people, remedy our present crises, and regain respect for the government at home and abroad.’ The paper has plenty of examples, insisting that the Biden team “can be trusted to work intelligently and fairly on the nation’s long agenda of unmet needs, including control of the coronavirus, confronting climate change, restoring voting rights, and other priorities.” In contrast, the paper notes, Trump “has proved himself unfit, untrustworthy and unwilling to uphold the ideals embedded in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, or to take seriously his responsibility for the health and welfare of the American people and the lives of our armed service members overseas.” It’s true — one of the most recent high-profile examples is Trump’s handling of the Coronavirus crisis. He has repeatedly suggested that the virus might just disappear, and he’s seemed to treat the pandemic as more of a public relations matter than a dire public health issue of life and death in which Americans could use the leadership of an actually competent commander-in-chief. His administration dragged its feet big time on getting states the resources that they desperately needed, like personal protective equipment, and more recently, when confronted about the still rising death toll, Trump dismissively said “it is what it is.” Florida seems likely to be a key state to watch in the upcoming presidential election. In 2016, Trump won the state by a margin of just over 100,000 votes out of over 9.1 million total that were cast. In the of polls, Biden leads in the state by 5 percent. No related posts.

" unreliable,"Federal Court Delivers Stinging Defeat To Trump; Donald Loses Again Whenever someone mentions windmills as a possible source of sustainable energy, Donald Trump decries the idea as dangerous to birds. When wealthy oil corporations want to kill birds to make their billions, however, Trump stops caring. BREAKING: Citing To Kill a Mockingbird, a federal judge just struck down Trump's policy which legalized the unlimited killing of millions of song birds every year. Court's opening paragraph below. Case brought by — Kierán Suckling (@KieranSuckling) The Trump administration lost its bid in a federal court on Tuesday to roll back environmental protections that fine corporations for practices that endanger birds. The judge, U.S. District Judge Valerie E. Caproni, cited To Kill A Mockingbird in her decision. According to The Washington Post : ‘It is not only a sin to kill a mockingbird, it is also a crime. That has been the letter of the law for the past century. But if the Department of the Interior has its way, many mockingbirds and other migratory birds that delight people and support ecosystems throughout the country will be killed without legal consequence.’ Inspired by , here is my celebration of the court’s rejection of the Trump Admin’s gutting of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act – that time absolutely destroyed a bad provision in the defense spending bill with SO MANY BIRD PUNS. — Miriam Goldstein (@MiriamGoldste) The rollbacks intended to allow anyone, although the greatest beneficiary of the new rule would benefit oil corporations more than any other party, to kill birds as long as they can prove it wasn’t “intentional.” For example, the BP oil spill harmed and resulted in the deaths of thousands of birds, although birds weren’t specifically targeted by the corporation. These rollbacks would have allowed them to escape any kind of penalty for their actions. Sarah Greenberger, interim chief conservation officer for the National Audubon Society, said: ‘This is a huge victory for birds and it comes at a critical time — science tells us that we’ve lost 3 billion birds in less than a human lifetime and that two-thirds of North American birds are at risk of extinction due to climate change.’ Wearing my favorite bird shirt today to celebrate the court’s rejection of the Trump Admin’s gutting of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act — Kate Kelly (@katepkelly) Trump’s entire economic plan relies on the deregulation of environmental protection, climate change be damned. Trump lists among his accomplishments deregulation Obama-era policies to protect the environment. In this case, Trump will not be allowed to do so unchecked. ‘Tuesday’s legal defeat was the latest of numerous environmental deregulation efforts the Trump administration has lost in court. In the weeks leading up to the Migratory Bird Treaty Act rule change, the administration lost in three consecutive days.’ This is massive, no? (U.S. courts are helping hold back full Trump onslaught.

" unreliable,"Trump Spazzes Into 11-Tweet Wednesday Morning Meltdown Of Insanity Early this Wednesday morning, Trump posted at least 11 tweets and retweets before 10 a.m., some of which made him sound, quite simply, like an absolute imbecile who has no idea what he’s doing in the White House. For example, Trump claimed that “NASA was Closed & Dead until I got it going again,” which is just absolute nonsense. NASA was not “closed,” period. It was chugging along just fine — Trump’s ridiculous idea for a “Space Force” has not been some kind of magical panacea to solve the space agency’s problems. On Wednesday morning, Trump also claimed that the upcoming general election in Nevada will “take months or years to figure out” because of mail-in voting — which he has zero evidence for — and he claimed, among other things, that he’s actually quite “into the environment” after all. Trump also claimed that there is “tremendous lawlessness” in Democrat-run cities which would be “so easy to stop.” If it’s so easy, then where are the policy proposals from Trump? There’s not a single reference to actual policy in the tweet about the subject from the president. There is TREMENDOUS Lawlessness in America’s Liberal Cities. Would be so easy to stop but they have a clouded vision of what should be done. They are indoctrinated with a philosophy which will never work, a philosophy which would destroy America. Portland would be the norm! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) Check out more from the president below, including his laughable claim that he’s actually “into the environment” after all. The U.S. doesn’t need a president who’s “into the environment.” They need a president who is willing to take the science of the climate change situation seriously and act accordingly. Trump touting that he’s “into the environment” makes it seem like environmental policy and climate change-related issues as a whole are yet another subject in which his brazen incompetence is shining through. Thanks in no small part to his endless self-obsession, he’s failing to grasp the relevant science, and he’s putting American lives at risk in the process.

New nuclear warhead funding blocked by House appropriators — Defense News (@defense_news) Nuclear testing has not been attempted in this country since 1992, during George H.W. Bush’s administration. Calls for testing now come again from Republicans, but House Democrats checked their power. At this point in our country’s history, considering issues around climate change and tensions related to our foreign policy, nuclear testing is not ideal. According to Defense News : ‘No funding would be available for live nuclear weapons testing under an amendment the House adopted to its version of the annual defense policy bill. The amendment from Rep. Ben McAdams, D-Utah, was adopted, 227-179, in a mostly party-line vote.

Explosive nuclear testing causes irreparable harm to human health and to our environment. and jeopardizes the U.S. leadership role on nuclear nonproliferation.’ The House voted back-to-back to put limits on invoking the Insurrection Act and bar funding for conducting a nuclear test.

" unreliable,"Federal Judge Rebuffs Trump With Surprise Ruling To Stop Him Among its many other attempts to roll back environmental protections, the Trump administration attempted in 2018 to roll back Obama era restrictions on the release of methane on public lands. The Trump administration’s Bureau of Land Management (BLM) relaxed the regulations covering methane that was released into the environment as part of drilling on public lands across the country, despite the ample scientific evidence outlining the potential dangers of methane getting spread around. Now, federal Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers has struck down the BLM’s attempt to relax the rules around methane release. She called the development process behind the new standards “wholly inadequate.” ‘In its haste, BLM ignored its statutory mandate under the Mineral Leasing Act, repeatedly failed to justify numerous reversals in policy positions previously taken, and failed to consider scientific findings and institutions relied upon by both prior Republican and Democratic administrations… In its zeal, BLM simply engineered a process to ensure a preordained conclusion. Where a court has found such widespread violations, the court must fulfill its duties in striking the defectively promulgated rule.’ The attempt to relax rules around the release of methane — which is a greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change, besides other issues — is far from unique among Trump administration policies. Just this week, President Trump “finalized a rollback to the country’s landmark environmental law, the National Environmental Policy Act, by speeding up approval for federal projects like pipelines, highways and power plants,” From tax policy to environmental policy, the Trump administration has consistently sought to ease the path for big business. If environmental protection regulations are relaxed, then big business has an easier time accomplishing projects that are high on the agenda, no matter the health and environmental consequences. Earthjustice attorney Robin Cooley — whose organization sued the federal government over the methane rules change — : ‘The judge basically rejected every attempt by the Trump administration to gut these common-sense waste prevention measures on behalf of their oil & gas industry cronies. The judge said the administration cannot ignore the impacts on health and well-being of the people who live near oil and gas facilities.’ The Trump administration’s apparent willful ignorance of the science surrounding methane release doesn’t stop there. At one point, Trump even claimed that he simply did not believe a report about looming impacts from climate change that had come out of his own administration. His failures to take the situation of environmental protection and climate change seriously culminate in real-world consequences of his personal belligerence on the subject. Just recently, presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s campaign to spend trillions of dollars updating the nation’s energy infrastructure to make it more protective of the climate. Meanwhile, Trump has consistently failed to articulate any kind of comprehensive vision for a potential second term, as if the whole thing is just some kind of game show to him, and the point is to “win.” Meanwhile, while he obsesses over himself, Americans across the country are continuing to struggle.

" unreliable,"Biden Shames Trump Over Failed Presidency During Tuesday Speech On Tuesday, in a speech in Wilmington, Delaware, presumptive Democratic presidential nominee and former vice president Joe Biden hammered President Donald Trump for the abject failures of his response to the Coronavirus. Trump and his team have failed to implement any kind of effective plan for curtailing the spread of the virus, which has now killed over 138,000 Americans, The pandemic has sparked and exacerbated some major crises, like economic instability, as reflected by the recent jobs report that put national unemployment at 11.1 percent in June. In his Tuesday speech, Biden also laid out a plan to spend trillions in modernizing the economy to help combat climate change and shore up national economic defenses against future threats. As he began his speech, Biden said: ‘Mr. President, please listen to your public health experts, instead of denigrating them. Do your job, Mr. President, because if we can’t deal with the public health crisis, we can’t deal with the economic crisis or deal with almost 18 million Americans who are out of work and the incredible pain inflicted on small businesses and communities of color. We can’t deal with the climate crisis that could cost us and cast us into an even darker and more permanent shadow that would loom over the country and the world for a long time.’ The White House has recently been trying to discredit Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health, who has been a high-profile figure on the science-based side of the federal government’s Coronavirus response. The administration even leaked a document to reporters outlining times when Fauci had supposedly been wrong, but the document his remarks. Biden continued, noting that if Americans continue down the Trump path, then the country “won’t be able to do what Americans have always done — come back stronger than ever before, with the grit, toughness, and resilience that characterizes who we are.” Watch his comments below: Joe Biden: ""Do your job, Mr. President."" — The Hill (@thehill) Specifically, Biden’s speech also included a proposal for $2 trillion in spending over four years to “significantly escalate the use of clean energy in the transportation, electricity and building sectors,” as The New York Times . He called the plans “the most critical investments we can make for the long-term health and vitality of both the American economy and the physical health and safety of the American people.” Trump has repeatedly downplayed the threat of climate change to the point of once saying that he didn’t believe a report about looming economic impacts that had been produced by his own administration. He and his team have also sought to roll back environmental protections across the board. Voters have evidently been paying attention to Biden’s proposals. Biden consistently leads Trump in polls on both the national level and in individual swing states around the country. In one recent poll, Biden even had a substantial lead in Texas, which is, of course, traditionally considered a very “red” state. In the poll, Biden had 46 percent of the support, compared to just 41 percent for Trump. It’s not the first time that Biden has led in a Texas poll, suggesting that the state is very much in play heading into November. No related posts. " unreliable,"Pelosi Makes Wednesday Power Move To Block GOP In the wake of new guidelines from Congressional physician Dr. Brian P. Monahan demanding mask-wearing to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has authorized the House’s Sergeant at Arms to block members of the House from participating in House hearings if they refuse to wear a mask. The Washington Post that Pelosi has “asked committee chairs to require masks at all hearings — and authorized the sergeant at arms to bar anyone who refuses to cover their face, according to a senior aide familiar with the request.” Throughout the Coronavirus pandemic, some right-wingers have insisted that masks are some kind of affront against their American greatness — or something. Now, a senior Democratic aide explained to the Post that members will have to wear masks if they want to participate in House hearings. ‘This requirement will be enforced by the Sergeant at Arms and non-compliant Members will be denied entry. Ultimately, Chairs will have the option of not recognizing Members in committee proceedings that fail to comply with the mask requirement… Members always have the option to participate in committee proceedings virtually, including from their Washington, D.C. offices or their districts.’ At a Wednesday House Judiciary Committee hearing, Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) pointed out the new requirement, which was instituted as of the previous day. The committee’s top Republican — Jim Jordan of Ohio — who’d previously resisted mask-wearing, was wearing a mask. Nadler said: ‘After this mark-up is over, we will go home to our loved ones. Wearing a mask helps protect them from serious illness as well. As chairman, I have a duty and responsibility to maintain order and decorum in our proceedings, which includes making sure that we conduct our business in a safe manner in light of the attending physician’s new guidance. I therefore fully expect all members on both sides of the aisle to wear a mask at all times that you are not speaking.’ President Donald Trump has been a leader in the fight against masks. He’s extremely rarely worn one, and he’s mocked his presumptive general election opponent Joe Biden for wearing one. Biden responded to Trump’s mockery by insisting that the president was an “absolute fool,” : ‘This macho stuff, for a guy — I shouldn’t get going, but it just, it costs people’s lives. It’s costing people’s lives… Presidents are supposed to lead, not engage in folly and be falsely masculine.’ Meanwhile, at least one Republican in the House cast their opposition to masks not just in terms of masculinity or some kind of culture war but in terms of some kind of melodramatic, metaphysical struggle. Last month, Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) commented: ‘Can you smell through that mask? Then you’re not stopping any sort of a virus. It’s part of the dehumanization of the children of God. You’re participating in it by wearing a mask.’ Scent particles do not transmit the Coronavirus. In short, Higgins’s comments appear to be yet another part of the GOP’s ongoing war against basic science, which has included grim highlights like their refusal to acknowledge the facts of climate change.

" unreliable,"Latest 2020 'Battleground' Poll Results Throw Trump/GOP Into Tailspin According to of voters in the battleground state, presumptive Democratic presidential nominee and former Vice President Joe Biden is leading incumbent Republican President Donald Trump in Florida by a full six percent. Although his leading margin was small, at just 1.2 percent, Trump won Florida in 2016, so for the state to shift to Biden would represent yet another major threat to the coalition that Trump would need for re-election. In the new Florida Atlantic University poll, a full 53 percent of voters said they backed Biden, while just 47 percent said they supported Trump. In a poll that the same university released in March, Trump led Biden by two percent. In those results, 51 percent of Florida voters said they supported Trump, while just 49 percent said they supported Biden. In Florida in 2016, about 2.9 percent of the overall vote went to the two most prominent third party candidates, so third party voting could impact the election results in the state depending on which major party candidate loses more supporters to the third party challengers. In the time since the March poll, the scope of Trump’s failure to respond effectively to the Coronavirus crisis has really set in. Tens of thousands of Americans have died while Trump has largely opted to either delusionally congratulate himself for a supposed job well done or launch off into ridiculous rants about conspiracy theories like “Obamagate,” a term that he has yet to actually explain in terms of actual alleged crimes. In the latest Florida Atlantic University polling, 45 percent of respondents said that they approved of the president’s Coronavirus response, and the same amount said that they disapproved. Only 43 percent of respondents in the latest polling said that they approved of Trump’s job performance overall, none of which exactly sounds like a winning coalition for the president. Biden’s eventual choice for his running mate could impact voters’ perceptions of the race. In the Florida polling, a full 22 percent of respondents backed Sen. (D-Calif.) as a VP pick, while 16 percent supported Sen. (D-Mass.), and 15 percent supported former Georgia gubernatorial candidate and voting rights advocate Stacey Abrams. Biden has committed to choosing a woman as his running mate. Biden has been trying to bring attention to Trump’s failures in an attempt to boost his own candidacy. He tweeted on Friday, for instance: ‘To all of our front line workers who are working day in and day out to keep our nation afloat during this crisis, thank you. We have the power to create the future we want. A future where: – We end our gun violence epidemic – We lead the world in combating climate change – Everyone has access to the health care they need – Our government works for all — not just the wealthy and well-connected’ To all of our front line workers who are working day in and day out to keep our nation afloat during this crisis, thank you. — Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) We have the power to create the future we want.

" unreliable,"Trump Suffers Sunday Morning Emotional Collapse (IMAGES) How is Donald Trump going to run his campaign for president? Any way he can, which means dirty, very dirty. One strange aspect of his campaign strategy is that not only does he consider former Vice President Joe Biden his enemy, he also considers the majority of the American people his enemy. Unfortunately for him, those people will be different from how they were before the pandemic crushed the nation’s shores. When the coronavirus struck, people had no option but to change. Now, generally speaking, they know how to work from home. They are closer to their families. They are more attuned to climate change, because they can see the stars in the night’s skies.

" unreliable,"New Biden Vs Trump 2020 Poll Results Will Send Trump Into Panic The general election this November continues to approach amidst the Coronavirus pandemic. Although President Donald Trump’s public approval has inched upward at times amidst the crisis, still has presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden with a resounding lead in their expected general election match-up. In the poll, among registered voters, Biden nabbed 54 percent of the support compared to just 46 percent for Trump — although it is important to note that the leading margin narrows among so-called “very likely” voters. Among them, Biden nabbed 52 percent of the support compared to 48 percent for Trump. Some of the crucial indicators that seemed to drive Biden’s lead included public perceptions that he would be better at managing a pandemic and overall very low opinions of Trump personally among independents, only 25 percent of whom said they held a favorable view of him. Harvard CAPS/Harris director  ‘Biden still does well in the head to heads, largely on his personal likability and strength in core democratic issues like health care, education and climate change. But he lags on the key economic issue and has yet to face a direct side-by-side confrontation with Trump. Importantly, the race narrows considerably when we look at likely and very likely voters, revealing more enthusiasm in the Republican base compared to Democrats.’ Biden has months to build up more of the “enthusiasm” that’s necessary to take on Trump, although there are already good signs. In the pre-pandemic Virginia Democratic presidential primary, which Biden won with a resounding lead, turnout soared to nearly twice the level of the 2016 primary in the state. Biden nabbed around 200,000 more votes than Hillary Clinton did when she won the same race in the previous cycle. That, along with similar numbers elsewhere, suggests that at least some Democratic voters are looking forward to the opportunity to take on Trump in November. Still, in the new Harvard poll, 49 percent of respondents said that they approved of Trump’s overall job performance, which is the highest level that the poll has recorded in about three years, since early 2017. In the new poll, a full 56 percent of voters said that they approved of Trump’s handling of the economy, while 51 percent of them said they supported his handling of the Coronavirus — although at the same time, a full 55 percent of respondents said they dislike Trump as a person. That’s never stopped moderate Republicans from jumping on board with Trump in the past, although Penn, curiously enough, suggested of Trump that his “personal style, not his actions, continue to hold him back,” despite the fact that Americans now have to grapple with the Coronavirus carnage and economic calamity that he’s helped exacerbate through sheer inaction. Coronavirus-related issues will no doubt weigh on voters’ decisions in the 2020 general election. In recent weeks, around 22 million Americans newly filed for unemployment benefits, suggesting absolutely staggering levels of unemployment amidst the social distancing demands instituted in an attempt to manage the spread of the Coronavirus. Trump has been clamoring to get the economy reopened, although a premature reopening could kill people if the virus spreads unchecked. No related posts. " unreliable,"Republicans Turn Against Fauci In Ridiculous Move Amidst the Coronavirus pandemic, a couple of far-right Republican Congressmen have decided to stick their heads in the metaphorical sand and declare that social distancing demands laid down by the federal government in an attempt to stem the spread of the virus must be some kind of inappropriate conspiracy against the economy — or something. In a new opinion piece, Republican Reps. Andy Biggs (Ariz.) and Ken Buck (Colo.) Drs. Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx, who’ve both worked in public health for decades, for their supposedly outsized influence on the government’s Coronavirus response. The Congressmen glibly ignore the widespread projections of even higher than present death rates in the absence of the social distancing that Fauci and Birx have advocated for. Biggs and Buck wrote: ‘For Fauci, is it merely a societal or economic inconvenience that about 17 million workers are unemployed because of the government’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, with many more to come in the weeks and months ahead? The economic calamity lies largely with the origination of policies resulting from Fauci’s recommendations.’ Besides the lawmakers’ ignorance of the actual nature of Fauci’s recommendations, they also display a profoundly brazen ignorance of the nature of the stay-at-home orders across the country that have ground so much of the economy to a halt amidst attempts to stop the virus’s spread. Essentially the entirety of the binding orders have been handed down by state authorities, many of whom are themselves Republican. Fauci and Birx have not themselves decided on the federal guidelines that supplant these state orders; they have simply advised the president. Biggs and Buck are boldly making up some kind of conspiratorial mayhem where there’s not actually anything nefarious. They seem to miss the fact that if hundreds of thousands of people die because social distancing lifts and the virus spreads — that’s probably itself going to have a pretty dismal impact on the economy! They added: ‘The longer government-imposed lockdowns go on, the more people will lose their jobs — millions more. Thousands of businesses will close their doors. The physical and emotional toll from this self-imposed economic destruction will be worse than the doomsday prophets projected.’ Dr. Fauci is not a doomsday prophet — although this is actually quite a familiar sentiment from Republicans, who’ve also infamously and consistently dismissed scientific conclusions about climate change as some kind of doomsday prophecy or conspiracy. In fact, basic, duly documented reality is not a conspiracy against the Republicans. They’re just wrong, and their priorities are out of order, at best. Trump has wavered on his own stance surrounding whether he’d listen to the science in deciding what to do about the Coronavirus. For some time, he claimed that he’d try and have the economy going again by Easter, which would have been disastrous, as that coincides roughly with the virus peak. Current federal guidelines demanding social distancing are set to expire at the end of April, and it’s not currently clear what steps the White House might be taking next — too many variables remain, including the fact that Trump says he’s going to be relying on metrics in his, uh, mind to make his decisions. Question: What metrics will you use to make that decision? Trump while pointing to his head: The metrics right here. That’s my metrics. — Acyn Torabi (@Acyn) No related posts. " unreliable,"Obama Outshines Trump With Coronavirus Leadership Message To America It would be great if observers could take for granted that the White House acknowledges and engages with science — but in the era of President Donald Trump and his “fake news,” that’s an inaccessible luxury. Trump and his cronies have consistently dismissed basic scientific fact in developing their policies for dealing with issues ranging from the Coronavirus pandemic to climate change. This Tuesday, former President Barack Obama spoke out against the belligerence and urged young people to turn out this fall and vote the nonsense out of office. Obama was speaking in direct response to the Trump administration’s rollback this week of fuel efficiency demands for vehicle manufacturers that Obama’s own administration had put in place. Obama shared: ‘We’ve seen all too terribly the consequences of those who denied warnings of a pandemic. We can’t afford any more consequences of climate denial. All of us, especially young people, have to demand better of our government at every level and vote this fall.’ We've seen all too terribly the consequences of those who denied warnings of a pandemic. We can't afford any more consequences of climate denial. All of us, especially young people, have to demand better of our government at every level and vote this fall. — Barack Obama (@BarackObama) The Trump administration’s fuel efficiency standards rule change was dramatic. The Obama administration had demanded that vehicle manufacturers hit an average of 55 miles per gallon by 2025, and the Trump administration slashed that to a demand of just 40 miles per gallon by 2026. The increased emissions because of the concurrent gas guzzling could put the climate further in precarious jeopardy than it already is, not to mention the hundreds of billions of dollars in additional money for gas that consumers could have to cough up over the lifetime of their gas guzzling vehicles. The Trump admin rolled back ambitious Obama-era vehicle mileage standards, raising the ceiling on damaging fossil fuel emissions for years to come and gutting one of the United States' biggest efforts against climate change. — Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) These developments come amidst Trump’s increasingly failed, flailing response to the Coronavirus outbreak in the U.S., which has claimed the lives of over 3,400 Americans and counting. Local authorities around the country have been struggling to get crucial supplies like Coronavirus testing kits and medical supplies and equipment.

" unreliable,"Latest 2020 Election Polls Released Show Massive 2020 Blue Wave The Republicans have become quite concerned over the Democrats peeling away one of their primary demographic groups — suburban voters. The poll was taken just before coronavirus (COVID-19). This group is made up of primarily college-educated women, and here is the GOP’s plan.. N2America conducted the poll. It is a nonprofit political group. The bad news is that these voters prefer Dems over Republicans by 20 percentage points on the subject of healthcare. This issue concerns these voters more than the economy. Dems also have 15 percentage points on pricing prescription drugs. Representative Ann Wagner (R-MO) took over the latent Suburban Caucus in the House. She wants to push legislation that excites suburban voters. Her district is in a St. Louis suburb. Three veteran female Republicans originated the caucus, and Wagner said, according to The suburban voters have a big problem: Donald Trump. This group’s college-educated, women have been dissatisfied with how 45 acts. The Republicans need this demographic in order to make any progress in 2020. However, coronavirus looms darkly over the president. A full 65 percent of the demographic says that they have at least a bachelor’s degree. The 2018 elections proved how well Democrats had worked to earn their votes. Republicans lost them and their seats in Congress, meaning the Dems were able to take back the House of Representatives. The N2America poll found that suburban voters said the Republicans performed better than Democrats on the economy by a full 18 points and on national security by 19 points. Suburban voters reported they were either “very” or “somewhat” confident about their current personal financial situation. Austin Chambers is the top strategist at the Republican State Leadership Committee. This organization’s goal is to elect Republicans on the state level. Chambers attended the N2America forum, which was working to find strategies to bring in suburban voters. He said: ‘The GOP can and should be strong in the suburbs, but it requires a new approach to articulating an agenda that most suburban voters already agree with.’ Some of the N2America priorities are: The N2America poll interviewed 1,000 registered suburban voters in contested races across the nation.

" unreliable,"Sanders Hammers Trump Over Coronavirus On 'Meet the Press' President Donald Trump has not exactly won many new fans with his handling of the Coronavirus, which has been reported in 32 states (and Washington D.C.) as of early this Sunday and infected more than 400 people in the U.S., killing 19. During a Meet the Press appearance this weekend, Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt.) harshly criticized Trump’s response to the growing illness, which has included at least as much complaining about those covering the facts of his administration as other actually important elements. Just this Sunday morning, Trump claimed that the “sad” fake news was supposedly getting things wrong — he didn’t say exactly what, though. As NBC reports: ‘Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) says his coronavirus response would be “very different” from President Trump’s. @BernieSanders : “Unlike Trump, I believe in science.”‘ Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) says his coronavirus response would be “very different” from President Trump’s. : “Unlike Trump, I believe in science.” — Meet the Press (@MeetThePress) Trump has definitely made his commitment to basic science repeatedly seem very questionable at best. For instance, he’s dismissed reports about the looming effects of climate change that’ve come out of his own administration, and this Coronavirus situation reveals a time when that detachment from basic scientific principle becomes potentially dangerous. During one recent interview on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show, Trump even suggested that those infected with the Coronavirus could simply go to work if they wished — but that’s far from true! The disease is very contagious, and it could be very dangerous for immunocompromised populations. This actually happened: POTUS went on Hannity, downplayed coronavirus threat, said scientists are probably wrong, suggested its not a big deal to go to work if you're sick with it. And so much more! — Rod Dreher (@roddreher) During his time on Sunday television this weekend, Sanders also addressed the question of whether or not presidential candidates — including Trump, not just those on the Democratic side — should reconsider holding large rallies considering the documented community spread of the Coronavirus. Trump — seemingly forever committed to his ego — has already said that he would not cancel any rallies because of the virus. Sanders offered a different perspective. He explained: ‘We are talking to public health officials all over this country, and obviously what is important to us is to protect the health of the American people. This is an issue, obviously, not just for our campaign. This is an issue for the National Basketball Association — it’s an issue for every organization across this country that has large events — so all I can tell you is that it is an issue that we are looking at, and we’re talking to public health officials.’ Watch: WATCH: Sen. says he’s talking to public health officials “all over the country” about the safety of holding large campaign rallies as coronavirus spreads. ""That is an issue we are looking at."" — Meet the Press (@MeetThePress) That’s a kind of logic that’s been absent from the president’s own response to the situation. Trump’s complaints about media coverage of the situation, even as Americans have been getting sick and dying, have stretched over a period of weeks on end at this point. And his attention to media coverage is driving administration response — reportedly, he wanted to keep a cruise ship with infected passengers out at sea just to keep domestic disease numbers down. PENCE was set to evacuate infected Americans from a cruise ship. Then TRUMP stepped in — worried how “the numbers” would look if more cases were documented on the mainland. How Trump’s approach made the coronavirus crisis worse. NEW tonight, from me. — Dan Diamond (@ddiamond) The disease is well-positioned as a 2020 presidential campaign issue — especially since Trump keeps politicizing it, with complaints like his Sunday tweet: ‘We have a perfectly coordinated and fine tuned plan at the White House for our attack on CoronaVirus. We moved VERY early to close borders to certain areas, which was a Godsend. V.P. is doing a great job. The Fake News Media is doing everything possible to make us look bad. Sad!’ Observers aren’t going to take the guy seriously who said he’s “never understood wind.” We have a perfectly coordinated and fine tuned plan at the White House for our attack on CoronaVirus. We moved VERY early to close borders to certain areas, which was a Godsend. V.P. is doing a great job. The Fake News Media is doing everything possible to make us look bad. Sad! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) No related posts. " unreliable,"Trump Goes Rabid On Twitter Over Coronavirus Backlash Donald Trump went on his good buddy, Sean Hannity’s Fox News show. Llike a giant spider, he sat in the corner and noisily pun out a web of conspiracy theories about the COVID-19 aka coronavirus. He blamed the media for spreading fake news about the virus, but that was not all. He told people to go to work sick. Well, what can we expect from someone who does not believe in science?  POTUS started off his morning tweets claiming that he “never said” people should go to work sick. Wrong: ‘I NEVER said people that are feeling sick should go to work. This is just more Fake News and disinformation put out by the Democrats, in particular MSDNC. Comcast covers the CoronaVirus situation horribly, only looking to do harm to the incredible & successful effort being made!’ ‘As per recent Federal Court ruling, the Federal Government will be withholding funds from Sanctuary Cities. They should change their status and go non-Sanctuary. Do not protect criminals!’ Some of the words that Trump struck from government documents in numerous department were, according to The Vox: ‘Evidence-based, science-based, vulnerable, entitlement, diversity, transgender, and fetus…Climate change’ Maybe, that is why the president of these United States has such a limited vocabulary. Earlier this week, the World Health Organization (WHO), which is not under his control, noted that the global mortality rate will be a dire 3.4 percent, according to Trump claimed: ‘Well, I think the 3.4 percent is really a false number. Now, and this is just my hunch, and — but based on a lot of conversations with a lot of people that do this. Because a lot people will have this and it’s very mild. They’ll get better very rapidly. They don’t even see a doctor. They don’t even call a doctor.’ Thursday morning, Trump pressed back against the media about his Fox News interview. He insisted: ‘I NEVER said people that are feeling sick should go to work. This is just more Fake News and disinformation put out by the Democrats, in particular MSDNC. Comcast covers the CoronaVirus situation horribly, only looking to do harm to the incredible & successful effort being made.’ California just reported the 11th coronavirus death in this country and declared a national emergency. This was the first fatality that did not occur in Washington State. POTUS continued saying this about the mortality rate of the new virus was just “a fraction of 1 percent:” ‘When you do have a death — like you had in the state of Washington, like you had one in California, believe you had one in New York — you know, all of a sudden, it seems like 3 or 4 percent, which is a very high number, as opposed to a fraction of 1 percent. Then, Trump continued his morning Twitter rant. He attacked Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), saying that the senator “brought great danger” to the Supreme Court. Then, he took a bow for his handling of coronavirus thanks to Senator Tom Cotton (R-AK). The president said that Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) was getting into former mayor Mike Bloomberg’s head. Really? POTUS wrapped the rant up trying to get people to vote against former vice president Joe Biden. His mind was ping-ponging all over the place starting with coronavirus. His people will helicopter in test for coronavirus to a ship off California: ‘With approximately 100,000 CoronaVirus cases worldwide, and 3,280 deaths, the United States, because of quick action on closing our borders, has, as of now, only 129 cases (40 Americans brought in) and 11 deaths. We are working very hard to keep these numbers as low as possible!’ ‘Schumer has brought great danger to the steps of the United States Supreme Court!’ ‘ @SenTomCotton  Thank you Tom! ‘ Kevin McCarthy informed me that I was 20 for 20 on Tuesday with respect to my Endorsement of candidates. Sadly, I didn’t get that information from the Fake News Media. They don’t report those things, or the far more than Dems cumulative votes, despite no opposition!’ ‘Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren, who was going nowhere except into Mini Mike’s head, just dropped out of the Democrat Primary…THREE DAYS TOO LATE. She cost Crazy Bernie, at least, Massachusetts, Minnesota and Texas. Probably cost him the nomination! Came in third in Mass.’ The world exploded after Trump told sick people to go to work.

" unreliable,"Pence Attempts & Fails Coronavirus Response During Sunday TV Embarrassment President Donald Trump announced last Wednesday that Vice President Mike Pence would be leading the administration’s response to the Coronavirus. Why? Who knows. It’s not as though he has any particularly apparent scientific experience. On issues ranging from climate change to LGBTQ identity, Pence refuses to even believe in science as a concept. This weekend on CNN’s State of the Union with Jake Tapper, Pence went so far that he defended Donald Trump Jr.’s completely and utterly baseless accusation that Democrats want the virus to kill millions of Americans just so they can stick it to the president. Tapper asked Pence about the politicization of the situation, but the vice president refused to acknowledge any wrongdoing by Republicans. Tapper inquired: ‘You don’t think that Democrats want people to contract this disease, do you?’ Pence did not answer the question! Eventually, he got around to saying that he thought Trump Jr.’s remarks were “understandable,” and apparently, we’re supposed to trust the guy who thinks it’s understandable for the president’s son to accuse Democrats of harboring ambitions for mass death. They’ve all launched off into lunacy. Pence commented: ‘Well, I think what the president said earlier this week, and his charge to me is to remind the American people that the risk is low, to assure the American people that we’re ready, but also to say, as the president said, that this is no time for politics. And frankly, I think that was Don Jr.’s point that there has been some very strong rhetoric directed at the president.’ Tapper interjected to point out the “strong rhetoric” that Trump Jr. himself used. He commented: ‘You don’t think that was strong rhetoric? He said seemingly Democrats want millions of Americans to die from the Coronavirus.’ And Pence explained that nope, he thinks Trump Jr.’s comments were a-okay and perfectly understandable. He commented: ‘Responding to things that people have hurled is understandable. But what the president’s charged us to do… is to set the politics aside and to work the problem… and with the exception of some barbs being thrown by some of the predictable voices in the public debate on the left, the usual shots that the president will take… what I’m telling you is this is really a time for us to come together… We’re talking about real Americans dealing with the Coronavirus.’ “Real Americans”? As opposed to what exactly? Fake Americans? Watch: ""This is really a time for us to come together,"" Vice President Mike Pence says on concerns of politicizing the coronavirus. ""Because remember, we are talking about the health and lives of the American people"" — CNN Politics (@CNNPolitics) While governor of Indiana, Pence presided over an HIV outbreak that coincided with his efforts to roll back public health services in the state. He is not equipped to handle the Coronavirus situation, no matter what platitudes he employs — yet here he is anyway. The administration has requested some $2.5 billion in emergency funding to deal with the situation. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have derided the request as too little, and Democrats in particular have criticized the part of the plan that includes taking around half of that money from existing programs at the Department of Health and Human Services.

This week, Sen. Ted. Cruz (R-Texas), who went from Trump opponent to Trump shill, mocked prominent progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) for speaking out against Vice President Mike Pence’s appointment as lead response coordinator for the Coronavirus situation. After all, Ocasio-Cortez pointed out, Pence “does not believe in science,” which applies to issues like climate change, LGBTQ people, and more. Cruz mockingly rattled off a laundry list of conservative talking points in response — and the Congresswoman poignantly responded by pointing out that Cruz doesn’t exactly seem to believe in science either. Duly documented science shouldn’t be an area where people can “disagree,” yet here we are. Ocasio-Cortez tweeted: ‘Sen. Cruz, while I understand you judge people’s intelligence by the lowest income they’ve had, I hold awards from MIT Lincoln Lab &others for accomplishments in microbiology. Secondly, I’m surprised you’re asking about chromosomes given that you don’t even believe in evolution.’ Sen. Cruz, while I understand you judge people’s intelligence by the lowest income they’ve had, I hold awards from MIT Lincoln Lab &others for accomplishments in microbiology. Secondly, I’m surprised you’re asking about chromosomes given that you don’t even believe in evolution. — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) Cruz’s list of questions in response to Ocasio-Cortez’s alarm about Pence included a reference to the supposed real nature of the chromosomes that determine someone’s biological sex. Socially expressed gender isn’t the same thing as biological sex — and even our determinants of biological sex operate according to socially expressed boundaries. It’s not that complicated. Cruz and other Republicans have often derided Ocasio-Cortez, with some pointing out her past as a bartender — but in response to the Texas Senator this week, the New York Congresswoman pointed out that she’s also “an Intel global finalist, a fmr multi-year intern for Sen. Kennedy, a cum laude dual major in Economics & International Relations, a fmr Educational Director for national organization, Who to you is “just a bartender,” And also your colleague.” Sincerely, an Intel global finalist, a fmr multi-year intern for Sen. Kennedy, a cum laude dual major in Economics & International Relations, a fmr Educational Director for national organization, Who to you is “just a bartender,” And also your colleague. — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) Meanwhile, no matter how feverishly that Republican trolls try to freak out — what are Pence’s qualifications to lead a Coronavirus response? While he was governor of Indiana, where he worked to roll back public health infrastructure, the state suffered an HIV outbreak. That’s not exactly reassuring.

" unreliable,"State Of California Makes Legal Power Move To Stop Donald Trump The state of California is again taking on the Trump administration’s penchant for power grabs. Now, state authorities have sued the Trump administration over the order that President Donald Trump signed just the other day demanding water diversion from northern California to the southern parts of the state, where farmers and ranchers could use the resource. California state Attorney General Xavier Becerra and others argue that the order runs on shoddy at best analysis of the environmental impacts and ignores legally mandated public comment periods. Becerra : ‘As we face the unprecedented threat of a climate emergency, now is the time to strengthen our planet’s biodiversity, not destroy it. California won’t silently spectate as the Trump Administration adopts scientifically-challenged biological opinions that push species to extinction and harm our natural resources and waterways.’ It’s not as though the guy whose hall of fame quotes include that he’s “never understood wind” and that California should solve its forest fire problem by raking more was ever exactly well-positioned to make good environmental policy decisions. President Trump has, of course, made both of those comments, which came in addition to his long history of derision of the basic science documenting ongoing climate change and its human causes. In this case, diversions of large quantities of water from the San Francisco Bay area could harm species of fish including chinook salmon and the delta smelt. For decades, official government estimates of the negative impacts to those fish populations existed — but just recently, Trump ordered the Department of the Interior to conduct new assessments and mockingly dismissed the old ones as “outdated scientific research and biological opinions.” To suggest that officials at the Interior Department would be operating under the cloud of Trump’s political pressure would be an understatement, at best. Interior Secretary David Bernhardt mocked the new lawsuit — although just to be clear, he’s himself so mired in Trump’s corruption that the internal watchdog at his department placed him under investigation after less than a week on the job. Less than a week! Bernhardt commented, referencing California state officials: ‘The governor and attorney general just launched a ship into a sea of unpredictable administrative and legal challenges regarding the most complex water operations in the country, something they have not chartered before.’ He also insisted that the litigation could “lead to unpredictable twists and turns that can create significant challenges for the people of California.” This situation is not the first in which California and the Trump administration have butted heads. The president, for instance, has repeatedly worked against the state’s efforts to coordinate stricter fuel emissions standards with car manufacturers, which the Trump administration has tried to upend. These efforts have coincided with broader Trump administration attempts to ease the way for industry across the U.S. — they’ve attacked the Clean Air Act, the Waters of the United States rule mandating special care to keep pollutants out of the waterways, and more, all in the service of Trump’s attempt to ingratiate himself with working class voters whose coal jobs simply aren’t coming back.

" unreliable,"Trump 'Dumbfounded' By Hostile Reception At Foreign Summit Apparently, members of President Donald Trump’s team haven’t exactly been paying attention to what their leader is actually doing. At least, that would be a reasonable excuse for the POLITICO that they were “dumbfounded” by the hostile reception to Trumpism that they faced at the latest installment of the long-running Munich Security Conference in recent days. What exactly did they expect to happen? Were they imagining that there’d be some kind of red carpet for the guy who veers between insisting that he’s “never understood wind” and lambasting decades-long partnerships between the U.S. and European powers? POLITICO reports: ‘For decades, the Munich Security Conference served as a powerful symbol of the strength of the Western alliance. The 2020 installment offered a testament to its accelerating decline… Those who thought last year’s tense gathering represented a low point in the relationship left Munich this year chastened.’ Points of contention included the U.S. take on major powers like Russia and China and the Trump administration’s continuing diplomatic disengagement across Europe. Where in years past, U.S. presidents might have used occasions like G7 and NATO summits to hammer out ambitious plans with their European allies for fighting threats like growing armaments and climate change, now, Trump just spends his time angrily tweeting through many of those kinds of events and sometimes flatly refuses to sign onto basic plans. German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier insisted that the Trump administration is “rejecting the idea of the international community” and mockingly summarized their foreign policy as: ‘Every country should fend for itself and put its own interests over all others… ‘Great again’  — even at the expense of neighbors and partners.’ French President Emmanuel Macron, who’s sometimes made a show of trying to find common ground with Trump, added the next day that “what Europe wants is not quite the same as the U.S.” It’s at that point that POLITICO says that “U.S. officials were dumbfounded” — although again — have they read the president’s tweets? Any of them? Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was one of those to actually rail against the criticism, but he acted like the only relevant question is whether there are more and bigger guns available, since he based his arguments on increased U.S. defense spending. In his “agitated” remarks, he railed: ‘I’m here to tell you the facts… Those statements do not reflect reality… Is this an America that rejects responsibility? Let’s be straight up: The U.S. is out there fighting for sovereignty and our friends.’ They didn’t ask whether or not the U.S. was fighting for the global implementation of some vague version of nationalism. In fact, they asked whether the U.S. would continue to stand for past security and economic alliances, and Trump has proven that the answer is no. POLITICO notes that the disinterested and disbelieving “reaction to Pompeo reflects the toll Trump’s aggressive, often abusive, rhetoric toward European allies has taken on the relationship.” Will Pompeo actually work to change any of that rhetoric though rather than sticking to agitated, pompously self-righteous “dumbfoundedness”? Probably not. No related posts. " unreliable,"Anne Frank's Stepsister Says Trump Is Acting Like Hitler Behind the cloud of his brazen foreign corruption highlighted by the impeachment proceedings, President Donald Trump has continued to push his racist agenda. Just recently, while his rich friends build their wealth with boosts like the tax cuts that he signed into law, his administration won a temporary approval from the U.S. Supreme Court to “screen out green card applicants seen as being at risk of becoming “public charges,” meaning reliant at least in part upon government assistance to get by. (No mention of the many native-born Americans subsisting just fine with government assistance like Medicare.) In Newsweek Eva Schloss, who is the stepsister of the well known Holocaust victim Anne Frank, says that Trump acts like Adolf Hitler, who led Germany’s Nazi regime. For many of his policies like the denials of refuge to those who might need public assistance, the president’s going on nothing but the color of his targets’ skin. Immigrants pay taxes just like everybody else, and employed but undocumented immigrants even pay those taxes without eligibility for the majority of government assistance programs. That doesn’t even cover the complete lack of evidence for his claims that undocumented immigrants pose some kind of special security threat to the United States. BREAKING: On 5-4 vote, Supreme Court lets Trump administration start enforcing new immigrant wealth test, designed to screen out green card applicants seen as being at risk of becoming ""public charges"". — Greg Stohr (@GregStohr) Schloss commented, discussing Trump: ‘I think he is acting like another Hitler by inciting racism. During his U.S. presidential campaign he has suggested the “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States,” as well as pledging to build a wall between the U.S. and Mexico to keep illegal immigrants out… The situation today is worse than it was under Hitler because at that time all the Allies—the U.S., Russia and Britain—worked together to combat the terrible threat of Nazisim. If we don’t work together, the world will never be able to resolve the threats it faces today.’ She adds that she remembers the global outcry against the Berlin wall that separated Soviet-controlled post-war Berlin from the free side, and yet, just decades later, a president has risen to power in part on the high-profile promise to put up another wall. Schloss also pointedly notes how Anne Frank’s father tried to get visas for his family to come to the United States in the 1940s, but he was denied access, along with many other people who also ended up victims of the Holocaust. Denials are piling up again today under Trump. This November, there’s a chance to get Trump out of office. His latest push against vulnerable immigrants has attracted condemnation from figures like Senator and presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, who commented: ‘Our immigration system must live up to our ideals as a nation. Unlike Trump, we will welcome refugees and those seeking asylum, including those displaced by climate change.’ Our immigration system must live up to our ideals as a nation. Unlike Trump, we will welcome refugees and those seeking asylum, including those displaced by climate change. — Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) That is truly the opposite of Trump’s own behavior, which, it’s worth noting, is enabled by the Republican leaders like those Senators who are working for a cover-up during his ongoing impeachment trial, where Democrats have been trying to secure witness testimony.

" unreliable,"Schiff Denounces Trump Admin's Latest Attack On Immigrants While facing the president’s impeachment trial in the Senate, the Trump administration has also been continuing with their campaign to pressure immigrants further and further away. This week, the U.S. Supreme Court gave them a green light to go ahead with their latest anti-immigrant plan to consider their assessment of whether or not a prospective green card recipient would become a “public charge” when evaluating their attempts at legal permanent residency. That means that they’re going to be discriminating against prospective green card holders who may need public assistance, which attracted the condemnation of figures like House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.). Schiff commented on Twitter: ‘Trump has broken our nation’s promise to immigrants: Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to be free. Generations of immigrants have come to the U.S. with nothing, and helped make our country great. The American dream is always worth defending.’ Trump has broken our nation’s promise to immigrants: Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to be free. Generations of immigrants have come to the U.S. with nothing, and helped make our country great. The American dream is always worth defending. — Adam Schiff (@RepAdamSchiff) The Court allowed the administration to continue with their so-called “wealth test” for immigrants thanks to the conservative majority that Trump has enacted on the bench. That includes Neil Gorsuch, whose seat Senate Republicans flatly refused to go along with then-President Obama filling, and Brett Kavanaugh, who is credibly accused of sexual assault. Weighing the possibility of needing public assistance against prospective U.S. residents is one of many similar steps that the Trump administration has taken to close the country to those who happen to have been born someplace else. They’ve pursued agreements to send asylum seekers back to countries across central America including Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador, and they’ve worked to dial back the kinds of cases that could  earn someone asylum in the United States. The activist group the American Friends Service Committee according to reports, “Mexican, Honduran, and Salvadoran asylum seekers—including families with children—are already being deported to Guatemala.” These steps are all in addition to the president’s most high-profile affronts against immigrants, like his work to construct a southern U.S. border wall and continuous stream of public denigration of their community. Bernie Sanders also denounced the latest move. He shared: ‘Our immigration system must live up to our ideals as a nation. Unlike Trump, we will welcome refugees and those seeking asylum, including those displaced by climate change.’ Our immigration system must live up to our ideals as a nation.

" unreliable,"Acosta Follows Trump In Switzerland & Publicly Trolls Him Hard “I’m honest. I make great deals.” Really? And really? How can Donald Trump say that with a straight face any longer? CNN’s Jim Acosta has had a rocky relationship with this president, because the journalist likes to dig past the gristle and down to the meat of the situation. He followed Trump in Davos, Switzerland and found plenty of meat. Acosta immediately caught POTUS in a whopper. Asked if he wanted witnesses, he said he was leaving the decision to the senators at his impeachment hearing: ‘Trump asked whether he wants impeachment trial witnesses at news conference: “I leave that to the Senate.” (Actually his team and GOP senators are fighting against including witnesses)’ The commander-in-chief did not grouse about climate change. No, he was still angry that 16-year-old environmentalist Greta Thunberg beat him to a cover of Time magazine. He likes to see himself on these covers so much that he dummied up a fake cover with his face. Then, he had it framed and hung them in his gift shops at his golf resorts. Time made him take them down: ‘Trump on Greta Thunberg’s warnings on climate change: “She beat me out on Time Magazine.”’ What about the abuse of power? POTUS said, “it depends.” Then, he veered off onto his “great deals:” ‘Trump asked whether abuse of power is an impeachable offense: “Well it depends… I’m honest.

Trump called that “a conflict.” This in spite of the attorney being really eager to play with the Senate impeachment defense team: ‘Trump on Giuliani being on his impeachment trial team: “It could be that he’d have a conflict.”’ Then, Trump said he wanted to appear at the trial. It was “so tempting to him:” ‘Trump at news conference said he would love to appear at Senate trial and asked reporter to stop mentioning the prospect because it sounded so tempting to him.’ After that, Acosta retweeted a post that said Trump called brain injuries in soldiers near the al-Asad strikes not “serious:” ‘ at will be trying to clean up.”‘ Twitter world lit up as they followed Acosta’s tweets.

" unreliable,"Obama Tweets Inspirational Weekend Message Like Our True Leader While President Donald Trump remains squarely focused on what absolutely ridiculous insult he can dream up to throw at his political opponents less, serious issues like climate change continue to rock the United States and world. Ongoing climate volatility has sparked massive fires in Australia that, throughout recent months, have destroyed fifteen million acres and counting, and that destruction has resulted in the deaths of an estimated hundreds of millions of animals and . Trump has often questioned the validity of reports about climate change, but this past week, former President Barack Obama used his Twitter presence to sound an alarm. He pointed people to those Australia fires, which have forced massive evacuations in addition to the loss of life and land. He included a link to a story from New York magazine titled “Global Apathy Toward the Fires in Australia Is a Scary Portent for the Future.” Obama added: ‘The catastrophic fires in Australia are the latest example of the very real and very urgent consequences of climate change. It’s on us to stay focused and protect the one planet we’ve got for the next generation.’ The catastrophic fires in Australia are the latest example of the very real and very urgent consequences of climate change.

As the high-profile former president put it: ‘Here’s the thing: Even with problems of this magnitude, each of us can still find a way to make change. That’s why I’m proud of young people like Alice Mahar, a environmental activist in Melbourne.

" unreliable,"Dem Announces Bid For Congressman's Seat Who Flipped To GOP When the House voted to formally impeach President Donald Trump recently, a high-profile sideshow story was the party switch of New Jersey Congressman Jeff Van Drew, who’d been a Democrat but decided to vote against impeachment and then switch over to the Republican Party. Now, Democrat Amy Kennedy has announced a campaign to win back Van Drew’s seat for the Democratic Party. She’s the wife of a former Rhode Island Congressman, and although she did not directly address Van Drew’s party switch in her announcement video, she did directly denounce Van Drew and Trump in the same sentence and featured footage of an Oval Office meeting between the two of them. Citing her record as a public school teacher, she insisted: ‘Too many of our leaders have lost their moral compass. Trump and Van Drew are symptoms of a bigger sickness infecting our country and our politics. Doing what’s right shouldn’t be complicated. Treat one another with respect, show some compassion, and look out for others. But that’s not what’s happening today.’ It’s true, really — on a basic level, just look at the president’s Twitter feed. He consistently demonizes his opponents in absolutely outlandish terms, suggesting that they’re mentally and/or physically unfit for their positions. That doesn’t even cover his lie-riddled, incessant belittling of groups like immigrants, Muslims, and more. In her video, Kennedy touched on a number of other examples of this glaring lack of attention to basic issues. As she put it: ‘People in south Jersey can’t find good jobs, but the richest corporations pay almost no taxes. Our coastline is under attack from energy corporations and climate change, while environmental regulations are gutted. And we continue to ignore the biggest public health issue of our time: the mental health and addiction crisis that affects virtually every family. I can’t sit back and wait for things to change.’ Watch: For a couple of those issues — including the dismal economic circumstances and the environmental danger — Kennedy featured a headline directly implicating the Trump administration, and, by extension, its supporters like Van Drew in the looming crises. The president’s widely touted 2017 tax reform plan dramatically slashed tax rates for high earners while lower income Americans continued to struggle along, and Trump has consistently sought to eliminate roadblocks to industry to the point of the 2019 headline that Kennedy featured saying that oil drilling rigs may go off the New Jersey coast. In the last case, Trump has made a show of caring about the opioid crisis, but his actual suggestions have been draconian pushes for dictatorial steps like executions of drug dealers. Kennedy already has one challenger — political science professor Brigid Harrison, who announced her own campaign for the seat weeks ago. It’s unclear at this point which one of their campaigns might be in the better position. As for the general election, the Cook Political Report calls Van Drew’s seat a “likely Republican” hold, which is the last rating before complete toss-up status. A total of five currently Republican-held House seats are rated as toss-ups. No related posts. " unreliable,"Greta Thunberg Sounds Off On Trump Monday Morning named the small young woman with the loudest voice on the environment as the Person of the Year for 2019. Donald Trump was jealous. He had campaigned hard for that honor. Greta Thunberg has become a world-class hero. In fact, her activism lifted her from the depths of her depression. After returning home to Sweden, she made remarks on her trip to the U.S. Monday, she was asked about the issue of speaking with Donald Trump during the United Nations summit on global warming.  She cut to the chase noting that it would have been “a waste of time,” because he would not have taken in the enormity of saving the world from self-destruction,” reported. Thunberg gave BBC radio’s Today program an interview. When asked about the personal attacks upon her, she said she thought they were funny. All she ever wanted was just to return to a normal life. She will be 17 on January 3rd. A video of the Swedish activist handing Trump a “death stare” as he walked by during the United Nations’ (U.N.) summit last September surfaced. In stark contrast, POTUS did not even know whether he believed in climate science. In fact, he was in the process of removing America from the 2015 Paris Agreement on global warming. When reporters asked what she would have discussed with POTUS, the teen said: ‘Honestly, I don’t think I would have said anything because obviously he’s not listening to scientists and experts, so why would he listen to me? So I probably wouldn’t have said anything, I wouldn’t have wasted my time.’ Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro for some reason called Thunberg “a brat.” The U.S. president tweeted about her, saying she needed to work “on her anger management problem.” In other words, he was projecting. Thunberg noted: ‘Those attacks are just funny because they obviously don’t mean anything. I guess of course it means something – they are terrified of young people bringing change which they don’t want – but that is just proof that we are actually doing something and that they see us as some kind of threat.’   The teen entered the world stage as she started a grassroots campaign when she was just 15.  At that point, she was skipping school on Fridays to stand with others before the Swedish parliament in protest. She and the others i”inspired millions of young people to take action against climate change.” The young woman also talked with BBC’s longtime British broadcaster David Attenborough, 93. The two were discussing how his documentaries had been an inspiration to Thunberg. He said: ‘You have aroused the world. [You have done] that [which] many of us who have been working on the issue for 20 years have failed to do.’ Svante Thunberg her father also appeared on BBC. He noted that his daughter had managed “the fake news, all the things that people try to fabricate about her, the hate that that generates” as she walked in the “global media limelight:” ‘Quite frankly, I don’t know how she does it, but she laughs most of the time. She finds it hilarious.’ The young activist returned to the Swedish parliament following four months of traveling overseas. She had gone to a climate conference in both New York, then in Madrid. She said: ‘I hope I won’t have to sit outside the Swedish parliament for long. I hope I don’t have to be a climate activist any more. I just want to be just as everyone else. I want to educate myself and be just like a normal teenager.’ Featured image is a screenshot via The Mueller Report Adventures: In Bite-Sizes  on this  . These quick, two-minute reads interpret the report in normal English for busy people.  Mueller Bite-Sizes  uncovers what is essentially a compelling spy mystery.

" unreliable,"Trump Mocked Over Unhinged Monday Rant About 'Bird Graveyards' President Donald Trump is growing increasingly publicly unhinged as the time of his tenure passes, and this weekend at a summit of the conservative student organization Turning Point USA, he took his belligerence to a bizarre new extreme. He ranted and raved about windmills and the universe, veering between insisting, in his words, that he doesn’t understand wind and sounding an alarm about, uh, “bird graveyards” that he says are at the bottoms of windmills. Was the argument supposed to turn someone against wind energy? Maybe! What’s clear is that in the name of political expedience, the people around the president have stepped back and allowed a dangerously unhinged, volatile man to have free reign. He babbled: ‘I never understood wind. You know, I know windmills very much. I’ve studied it better than anybody. It’s very expensive. They’re made in China and Germany mostly — very few made here, almost none. But they’re manufactured tremendous, if you’re into this, tremendous fumes, gases are spewing into the atmosphere. You know we have a world, right? So the world is tiny compared to the universe. So tremendous, tremendous amount of fumes and everything. You talk about the carbon footprint. Fumes are spewing into the air, right? Spewing. Whether its in China, Germany, its going into the air. Our air, their air, everything. Right?’ Maybe! A more decisive answer could no doubt be provided if he even attempted to tie his argument to any kind of logically coherent reflection of reality. The weekend meltdown about, uh, wind is on par with the rant he delivered in which he insisted that the noise from wind turbines causes cancer. It does not. It’s unclear what physical or biological mechanism would even allow that to happen. This weekend, he continued nonetheless: ‘They’re noisy. They kill the birds. You want to see a bird graveyard? You just go. Take a look. A bird graveyard. Go under a windmill someday. You’ll see more birds than you’ve ever seen ever in your life… A windmill will kill many bald eagles. It’s true!.. Why is it okay for these windmills to destroy the bird population?’ Watch: Trump’s nuts rant about wind energy: “I never understood wind. You know, I know windmills very much… Gases are spewing into the atmosphere. You know we have a world, right? So the world is tiny compared to the universe. So tremendous, tremendous amount of fumes & everything.” — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) It’s unclear where he even got this idea, although he’s definitely pulled claims out of thin air plenty of times before. For example, he has claimed over and over again that he has a 94 percent approval rating in the Republican Party, and he has also completely left out even an attempt at a citation for that claim over again and over again. It’s unclear where it came from. In response, activist Matt Ortega quipped: ‘Trump says he doesn’t understand wind then proved it.’ Trump says he doesn’t understand wind then proved it. — Matt Ortega (@MattOrtega) Author Matt Novak : ‘It’d be almost funny if it wasn’t coming from the most powerful person in the world—a man who’s setting energy policy while climate change makes the world less inhabitable for all of us.’ It’s true — these rants are different from the average anonymous social media loudmouth because they’re coming from the president of the United States. Under Trump’s leadership, which has included rollback after rollback of environmental protection regulations, greenhouse gas emissions in the United States have been believed to be — even as he carries on publicly with his insistence that other countries should pick up the tab of dealing with climate change.

" unreliable,"Michelle Obama Throws Shade At Trump Over Greta Thunberg Attack This week, Swedish teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg was named TIME magazine’s 2019 Person of the Year — and she consequently faced rounds and rounds of mockery from President Donald Trump and his supporters, who seemed perturbed that their Dear Leader didn’t get the largely symbolic, even if high-profile award. They refused to even let this teenager have this moment to herself. While that continued to circulate, former First Lady Michelle Obama posted a message of support for Thunberg on Twitter, who’s now also responded a couple of times to the whining from Trump World. Trump himself had complained the award for Thunberg was “so ridiculous” and asserted that the high-profile environmental protection activist should “chill” and work on her “anger management problem” — which is rich coming from the guy who has basically made anger the defining point of his time in the public spotlight. Michelle Obama countered: ‘@GretaThunberg, don’t let anyone dim your light. Like the girls I’ve met in Vietnam and all over the world, you have so much to offer us all. Ignore the doubters and know that millions of people are cheering you on.’ . , don’t let anyone dim your light. Like the girls I’ve met in Vietnam and all over the world, you have so much to offer us all. Ignore the doubters and know that millions of people are cheering you on. — Michelle Obama (@MichelleObama) The former First Lady has certainly been on the receiving end of plenty of her own belligerent attacks from the president’s camp. If you can dream of the racist and sexist insult, then some Republican talking head has likely uttered it in relation to Michelle Obama. Nevertheless, the Obamas remain popular, as do Democratic politics in general — Trump consistently loses when pitted against leading Democratic presidential candidates in polls measuring possible general election match-ups. Thunberg has actually met with former President Barack Obama before. Now, besides jokingly putting Trump’s mocking description of her in her Twitter bio, Thunberg also responded more directly to the criticism that she’s faced after her TIME honor via insisting that actually, her advocacy is not politically defined. She explained: ‘I’m sometimes called ”political”. But I’ve never supported any political party, politician or ideology. I communicate the science and the risks of failing to act on it. And the fact that the politics needed don’t exist today, neither to the right, left nor center. If anyone thinks that what I and the science are saying is advocating for a political view – then that says more about that person than about me. That being said – some are certainly failing more than others.’ The failures that she no doubt had in mind have certainly not let up with their resistance to acknowledging even the basic reality of climate change. If anyone thinks that what I and the science are saying is advocating for a political view – then that says more about that person than about me.

" unreliable,"Greta Thunberg Tweets New Anti-Trump Response Statement Following her receipt of the 2019 Person of the Year award from TIME magazine, Swedish teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg has faced bizarre criticism from President Donald Trump and his supporters. This Thursday, Trump complained that the award was “so ridiculous” and mockingly said that Thunberg, who’s publicly spoken about the dangers of human-sparked climate change many times, should “chill.” Now, Thunberg has responded, although without mentioning Trump by name. As the president’s team’s whining still circulates, she posted a statement to Twitter on Thursday defending her cause as above petty partisan politics, at least ideally — which is, of course, the polar opposite of Trump. Thunberg shared: ‘I’m sometimes called ”political”. But I’ve never supported any political party, politician or ideology. I communicate the science and the risks of failing to act on it. And the fact that the politics needed don’t exist today, neither to the right, left nor center. If anyone thinks that what I and the science are saying is advocating for a political view – then that says more about that person than about me. That being said – some are certainly failing more than others.’ Looking at you, Trump and the Republican Party, who still struggle to acknowledge the basic reality of a dangerously changing climate driven by human activity. In addition to this, Thunberg had already responded to Trump by jokingly putting his mocking description of her in her Twitter bio. Unlike Trump, she’s not intimidated. Thunberg’s Twitter message mirrors comments she gave at the United Nation’s climate change summit this week in Madrid, where she denounced world leaders for participating in “clever accounting and creative PR” instead of the systematic change needed to preserve the environment.

" unreliable,"Trump Jr. Reacts To Greta's TIME Cover Like A Glue Eating Dope In case you were wondering, the Trumps are still desperate for attention. They’re so desperate that this Wednesday, after TIME magazine announced their choice of teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg as person of the year, Donald Trump Jr. had a white-hot meltdown on Twitter about it. You’d think someone who supposedly has a company to run and recently published a book whining about Democrats supposedly being “triggered” would have something else to do… but here we are, with Trump Jr. publicly freaking out about a largely symbolic award for a teenager from Sweden.   Trump Jr. insisted that the pro-democracy protesters who’ve been active in Hong Kong for months should have gotten the award — although they were named among the runners-up, which this year included four interests. Besides the Hong Kong demonstrators, TIME also mentioned President Donald Trump, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), and the whistleblower in the Ukraine scandal, who — although they’re still officially anonymous — called attention to the plot that has sparked Trump’s impeachment. Trump Jr. complained: ‘Time leaves out the Hong Kong Protesters fighting for their lives and freedoms to push a teen being used as a marketing gimmick. How dare you?’ Time leaves out the Hong Kong Protesters fighting for their lives and freedoms to push a teen being used as a marketing gimmick. How dare you? — Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) So apparently — Thunberg is just a “marketing gimmick” in Trump Jr.’s perception. He’s thereby completely dismissing the huge numbers of participants from around the world who’ve joined in the student-led push for environmental protection as threats from climate change just keep piling up. Apparently, that dismissal is because he… doesn’t like them and their methods, or something. Maybe he’d simply prefer that no one complained about pouring coal into the atmosphere, flattening forests for high rises, and other similar things. Despite his implication that they could have gotten some crucial boost from the TIME honor, just recently, Congress united to pass legislation in support of the protesters with measures like sanctions for those perpetrating human rights abuses against them. Meanwhile, although Trump supported that legislation (which passed Congress with a veto-proof majority anyway), the president has stuck to claims like that his supposed personal advocacy with Chinese authorities is responsible for the protesters’ safety, which is just baseless.

" unreliable,"'TIME' Magazine Snubs Trump & GOP Reactions Are Disgusting TIME magazine has named their 2019 Person of the Year as Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, who’s helped lead a wave of youth-driven climate change protests around the world throughout the year. She’s traveled (by boat) to some high-profile climate change-related diplomatic events, where she has sought to grow the pressure on world leaders to act to avert the looming possible further crisis enacted by a still-changing climate. . is TIME’s 2019 Person of the Year — TIME (@TIME) Her profile on the magazine’s website includes her perspective: ‘We can’t just continue living as if there was no tomorrow, because there is a tomorrow. That is all we are saying.’ That “tomorrow,” as she has also very publicly noted, constitutes the future for the youth of today, and those in power willing to turn a blind eye to pollution and the like are putting it on the line. Although her mission is pretty straightforward, some on the right have complained about her anyway, and that continued after TIME ‘s announcement this week. One, uh, “free speech advocate” who goes by Count Dankula and has quite a large following mocked the award by noting that Adolf Hitler had received it as well. Conservative commentator Jack Posobiec suggested that the magazine’s choice amounted to a decision to “just screw Hong Kong,” where pro-democracy protesters have been demonstrating for months. There are plenty of similar examples from around the world — he is just moralizing. That complaining mirrors President Donald Trump’s own past obsessing over the Person of the Year award. In 2017, he claimed that what essentially was a “you can’t fire me; I quit!” situation unfolded surrounding the award. He tweeted that the magazine had supposedly called him to offer him an interview and photo shoot because he’d “probably” be the person of the year designation recipient, but he claimed he turned them down because of their indecision. The magazine said that never happened — and that year, they named “Silence Breakers” as the “person of the year,” honoring those giving a voice to sufferers of sexual misconduct. This year, Trump — as, remember, president of the United States — has already mocked Thunberg. In response to a clip of Thunberg at the United Nations, he mockingly quipped that she “seems like a very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future.” Thunberg took the mockery in stride and added it to her Twitter bio.

" unreliable,"Trump Throws Monday Impeachment Tantrum Like A Coward Donald Trump may be under the false interpretation that the world revolves around him. He railed against the House Democrats for continuing their work on this president’s impeachment. If Trump had not thrown roadblocks up against this group of civil servants, perhaps the investigation would be further down the road. The 45th president also noted that Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky had spoken in an interview allegedly cleared the U.S. president.  Of course, the Ukrainian government has been politically sensitive. Monday, Trump blasted House Democrats for holding impeachment hearings while he is at a NATO summit in London. He also pointed out that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy had cleared him of wrongdoing in an interview published earlier. Zelensky said according to : ‘I came out and said very strongly that President Trump did nothing wrong, and that should end everything, but that will never end it.’ Then, Trump announced via Twitter, that he was making his way to London: ‘Heading to Europe to represent our Country and fight hard for the American People while the Do Nothing Democrats purposely scheduled an Impeachment Hoax hearing on the same date as NATO. Not nice!’ House Speaker Nancy Pelosi  (D-CA) spoke at a United Nations event on climate change. She said that she would follow the congressional delegations abroad and not discuss the impeachment: ‘When we travel abroad, we don’t talk about the president in a negative way. We save that for home. But nonetheless, we’re here to talk positively about our agenda to save the planet for future generations. And we, and our Congress right now, are doing many more things other than reviewing the possibility of impeaching the president.’ Apparently, Zelensky said: ‘Look, I never talked to the president from the position of a quid pro quo.’ Zelenskiy when asked about the nearly $400 in military aid Trump held up while he pushed the Ukrainian president to investigate the Bidens: ‘I don’t want us to look like beggarsBut you have to understand. We’re at war. If you’re our strategic partner, then you can’t go blocking anything for us. I think that’s just about fairness. It’s not about a quid pro quo. It just goes without saying.’ The Ukrainian president also criticized Donald Trump for saying his country was “corrupt.” The buffer country between Russia and the European Union (EU) has met many of the U.S. requirements for reducing corruption. It seemed that the U.S. president was asking the country to actually do something corrupt, to say it was investigating POTUS’s opponent. Trump held the Congress-approved $391 million in military aid until he was caught. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo also came down on the House Judiciary Committee, claiming the Democrats scheduled their impeachment hearing Wednesday, as Trump continued to be at the 70th-anniversary celebration of NATO’s inception. He called it “very unfortunate.” When reporters asked him why he decided to not send an attorney to be part of the hearing, Trump said: ‘…because it’s a hoax [and] all you have to do is look at the word of the Ukrainian president.’ The Mueller Report Adventures: In Bite-Sizes  on this  . These quick, two-minute reads interpret the report in normal English for busy people.  Mueller Bite-Sizes  uncovers what is essentially a compelling spy mystery.

" unreliable,"Schwarzenegger Trolls Trump & Goes Viral Fast While in office, President Donald Trump has loved to claim that he’s one of the best things that’s ever happened to the United States — and that’s not an exaggeration, it’s what he’s said. Recently, he even proudly touted poll numbers showing that a majority of Republicans had proudly fallen in line like some kind of cult and thought he’s a better president than Abraham Lincoln, who — just to be clear — freed the slaves. This weekend on Meet the Press, actor and former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger delivered a reality check for Trump, who’s even claimed that the environment’s hardly ever been doing better than under his leadership. In reality, data has chronicled an increase in greenhouse gas emissions under the Trump administration. In 2018, the emissions rate spiked by 3.8 percent over the previous year, which functions like a chilling threat to what’s at stake. Although Schwarzenegger has repeatedly taken on Trump directly, this weekend, he spoke in his capacity as a member of the newly announced “World War Zero” climate change coalition led by former Secretary of State John Kerry. Trump has repeatedly criticized California for supposedly being overly forward with their environmental policies — a major point of contention, for example, has been their regulations against car emissions — and this weekend, Schwarzenegger batted down that argument. He told host Chuck Todd that: ‘California is perfect proof that you can protect the environment and also protect the economy at the same time. We have the strictest environment laws… and are also number 1 economically, way ahead of the United States average.’ That’s not the kind of thing that Trump seems keen on admitting anytime soon. He’s still firmly rooted in that political egotism, which takes priority for him even over the science that his own administration produces outlining the looming dangerous possibilities from climate change. In late 2018, he dismissed one such administration climate change report by insisting simply: ‘I don’t believe it.’ Host Chuck Todd asked Schwarzenegger if he’d take a meeting with Trump to push the issue of climate change, but he deflected, offering another affront to the president’s ego in the process. He told Todd: ‘It’s not just one person. We have to convince the whole world.’ In connection to his role with World War Zero, he’s already spoken out against Trump’s insistence that other countries pick up the main burden of curtailing greenhouse gas emissions to combat climate change. He said that the insistence was “bogus,” adding: ‘America never ever in its history has said, ‘Let some other country do something first.’ We should lead.’ Mr. Schwarzenegger called the Trump argument that China must do more to curb emissions before the United States acts “bogus.” He said, “America never ever in its history has said, ‘Let some other country do something first.’ We should lead,” he said. — John Schwartz (@jswatz) Trump does not seem overly interested in that opportunity for leadership. Instead, he prefers sticking to his petty political squabbles and enacting moves like the abrupt withdrawal of the U.S. from the Paris Climate Accord, which just about every other country on earth was and is a party to. Although Trump is refusing to lead, others are stepping in. Recently, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) revealed that she’d be leading a delegation to the upcoming United Nations summit on climate change. No related posts. " unreliable,"Bernie Sanders Takes Key 2020 Election State After Bernie Sanders (D-VT) had his heart attack, his numbers in the polls dipped. Yet just weeks later, he appears to be back to his old self. His numbers in a just-released New Harmshire poll are astounding. Sanders was leading in the among the top three picks along with Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and former vice president Joe Biden (D-DE). South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg was running close behind them bringing a notable amount of donors and campaign donations — more than Biden. Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) rounded out the second rung of Democratic candidates in the 2020 presidential election. There was also a third tier in the running consisting of businessman Andrew Yang, Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MI), and Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI). They all moved up slightly from summer results. wrote that Bernie Sanders was leading at 21 percent: ‘Bernie Sanders [came in] at 21 percent, Elizabeth Warren at 18 percent, Joe Biden at 15 percent, and Pete Buttigieg at 10 percent. Tulsi Gabbard, Amy Klobuchar, and Andrew Yang are all at five percent’ Still, Donald Trump (R) beat all of them in the Granite State among likely Republican primary voters, 86 percent. This was in spite of several other Republican challengers. Strikingly, Sanders’ lead at 21 percent was the weakest since 1972 among leaders in the New Hampshire primary at this point in time. In addition, just 23 percent of Democratic voters have definitely decided upon the candidate they wanted. The same was true in Iowa, too. This could due to the large crowd of Democratic candidates. Interestingly enough, Buttigieg had the “best favorable to unfavorable rating” among the Democratic candidates. Sanders beat Warren for the “most trusted on the issues Democratic voters consider to be the most important.” These included health care and climate change. Warren’s unfavorable ratings have increased since the July CNN/UNH poll. Among all of the New Hampshire interviewees for this poll, impeachment and removal of Trump was 42 percent. A majority of 51 percent were against it. The pollster found that this was a “historically unprecedented New Hampshire mess,” because no one was polling above 21 percent. Traditionally, there has been a clear front-runner polling between 20 and 15 points above Trump. Sanders’ top score, 21 percent, appeared to the pollster to be remarkably low for the one with the top percentage in this poll. In fact, the pollster could not locate a New Hampshire poll with a frontrunner who carried such low percentages at this point in time: ‘I looked at polls dating back since 1972, and the only real comparison is the 1992 Democratic polls. In that cycle, Mario Cuomo was polling between 30 percent and 40 percent, and he decided not to run in December 1991. When he was eliminated as an option, there were some polls (though not all) that had no one above 29 percent.’ This suggested that the primary results were still very mixed. That meant: ‘[A] far higher chance than normal that the candidate not leading could win the New Hampshire primary. It breathes new life into those campaigns under 10 percent.’ The Mueller Report Adventures: In Bite-Sizes  on this  . These quick, two-minute reads interpret the report in normal English for busy people.  Mueller Bite-Sizes  uncovers what is essentially a compelling spy mystery.

" unreliable,"Trump Declines Invitation To Presidential Candidate Event Although President Donald Trump’s endless rounds of parading nonsense in front of cameras could prove distracting, issues like climate change remain as the United States heads to the next presidential election, which will take place next year. In coming weeks (on November 7 to be exact), the Weather Channel will be debuting a special program covering the topic that features interviews with nine presidential candidates from both major parties — but not Trump. The president “declined an invitation to participate,” . He was probably too busy tweeting. It’s far from the first time that Trump has skipped an opportunity to address the growing threat of climate change. In late 2018, when asked about a report his own administration released outlining the threats to the country from climate change, he insisted simply: ‘I don’t believe it.’ More recently, after high-profile teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg spoke at the United Nations demanding more urgent action on climate change, Trump mockingly droned on Twitter: ‘She seems like a very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future. So nice to see!’ Those who will be featured in the upcoming Weather Channel special include all three Republicans who’ve launched long-shot bids against Trump’s re-election campaign, including former Congressman Joe Walsh and former Governors Bill Weld and Mark Sanford. On the Democratic side, those making an appearance include most of the leaders in the still rather crowded Democratic presidential primary race, although only a few candidates consistently manage large levels of support. Those present on the Weather Channel will include Sens. Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, and Cory Booker along with former Congressman Beto O’Rourke and South Bend, Indiana’s Mayor Pete Buttigieg. (Biden’s campaign says there was a scheduling conflict.) These interviews were conducted at sites illustrating the dangers of climate change — Sanders, for instance, speaks at the site of one of the many recent wildfires to rock California. Although the Weather Channel has spotlighted climate change before, they have not dove into a political campaign like this. Channel exec Nora Zimmett is not concerned about potential backlash, however. The Associated Press explains: ‘Zimmett said executives weren’t concerned about turning off weather fans who view it as a refuge from politics, or people like the president who see less urgency in addressing the issue. Despite a “vocal minority,” surveys show most viewers want to learn more about the issue and potential solutions, she said.’ There has been some criticism for networks not including more questions about climate change in the Democratic debates that have already happened. There’s also been criticism lobbed at the Democratic National Committee itself for ignoring calls for a climate forum for presidential candidates in favor of sticking to their strictly controlled debate stages. The since concluded presidential campaign of Washington Governor Jay Inslee made pushing for more attention to climate change a central concern. For now, the Weather Channel is stepping in. Trump certainly seems to have no intention of doing so at any point in the near future, even as the world continues to struggle. No related posts. " unreliable,"Obama Tweets Wednesday Endorsement That Has Conservatives Fuming President Barack Obama has been out of office for two and one-half years, but when he speaks, people do listen. He tweeted out a defense for a man he worked with often. This is how a class act sounds. The 44th president of these United States did a quick bit of diplomacy with just one tweet. Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been facing quite a lot of criticism for a black-face photo. It was wrong. Yet, President Obama came to his defense with a presidential message of his own, reminding us all that one photograph does not a whole man make. He tweeted that Trudeau was “hard-working, effective leader.” Then he asked for the voting Canadians to “support him for another term:” ‘I was proud to work with Justin Trudeau as President. He’s a hard-working, effective leader who takes on big issues like climate change. The world needs his progressive leadership now, and I hope our neighbors to the north support him for another term.’ It was a gentle reminder to Canadians and Americans alike that people can rise above their mistakes, even the serious ones, and use those mistakes to become a better person.

" unreliable,"Giuliani Goes On Multi-Tweet, Pre-Dawn Obama Tirade President Donald Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani is not exactly known for being reserved. Early this Monday morning, he proved his passion for the cause yet again with a series of tweets posted in the middle of the night suggesting former President Barack Obama may have been “in the know” about supposed corruption on the part of the Bidens, including former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter. The idea from Rudy and his comrades is that the Bidens inappropriately personally profited from Joe pressuring Ukrainian authorities to fire a widely believed to be corrupt top prosecutor because that figure had been investigating a company Hunter Biden worked for. There’s no evidence of acted upon conflict of interest — but Giuliani is not deterred. Now, his conspiracy theory even includes other people. He railed, in part: ‘Did Obama know that his VP, the one he put in charge of giving billions to Ukraine, had a son who was making millions on the board of one of the most corrupt companies in Ukraine. Biden’s boss had stolen $5b from Ukraine and was a fugitive. Did Obama know? Did he approve?.. Bidens’ made big money selling public office. How could Obama have allowed this to happen? Will Dems continue to condone and enable this kind pay-for-play?’ The next stage in this meltdown is probably blaming Obama for the recent attacks on Saudi oil facilities or something. Maybe he’s also behind climate change, they might as well suggest. Maybe he’s the one who founded ISIS (Wait, Trump already said that). The above tweets from Giuliani started at just after 2 A.M. and continued well into the later morning hours with no more than a three and a half hour break between them. Does he sleep? Why’s he hyped up for hours on end in the middle of the night tweeting angry accusations about Obama? This display is more off-the-rails time-wise than some of the ones Trump himself has put on, and that’s saying something. As for his accusations — again, there’s still no immediately apparent evidence of wrongdoing. Hunter Biden worked for the company, so he got paid for it. Joe Biden’s pressure to dump the prosecutor was tied to a standing Western foreign policy stance — everybody thought he was corrupt. The allegations fizzle out right away.

You have to be strong and courageous and know that you can do anything you put your mind to. If somebody puts you down or criticizes you, just keep on believing in yourself and turn it into something positive.’ The former president commented about getting started: ‘Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.’ Next, there was his powerful tweet from Les Brown: ‘In every day, there are 1,440 minutes. That means we have 1,440 daily opportunities to make a positive impact.’ Obama was interested in a future of opportunities for Americans: ‘You can choose a future where more Americans have the chance to gain the skills they need to compete, no matter how old they are or how much money they have. Education was the gateway to opportunity for me. It was the gateway for Michelle. And now more than ever, it is the gateway to a middle-class life.’ Les Brown also spoke about the difficulties in life and what that meant: ‘I think that life is difficult. People have challenges. Family members get sick, people get older, you don’t always get the job or the promotion that you want. You have conflicts in your life. And really, life is about your resilience and your ability to go through your life and all of the ups and downs with a positive attitude.’ Our 44 spoke about choosing a change: ‘Now we’re in the midst of not just advocating for change, not just calling for change – we’re doing the grinding, sometimes frustrating work of delivering change – inch by inch, day by day.’ Joel Osteen felt the same way: ‘”Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is going to determine how you’re going to live your life:”‘ Twitter lit up.

" unreliable,"Dozens Of States Hit Trump Administration With Major Lawsuit In recent days — as the globally planned “climate strike” to bring attention to climate change approached — the Trump administration announced plans to revoke a waiver from federal guidelines that allowed California to set its own especially stringent car emissions rules in recent years. Now, California state Attorney General Xavier Becerra (D) has banded together with a full 23 other states from across the country the Trump administration to court over their plans, insisting that they’re illegally “arbitrary and capricious.” The lawsuit even has leaders of the major cities Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, and New York City on board. Becerra bluntly insisted: ‘The Oval Office is really not a place for on-the-job training.  should have at least read the instruction manual he inherited when he assumed the Presidency, in particular the chapter on respecting the Rule of Law. Mr. President, we’ll see you in court.’ Referring to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the lawsuit Becerra helped bring argues that the Trump administration’s newly announced formal plans to upend the state’s car emissions standards “exceeds NHTSA’s authority, contravenes Congressional intent, and is arbitrary and capricious,” besides the issue that the NHTSA “has failed to conduct the analysis required under the National Environmental Policy Act.” California has been granted waivers from federal regulations that allow it to set its own environmental protection standards in some areas for decades, and this case of car emissions is the first time the federal government has revoked one of those. California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) — who, like Becerra, has directly confronted the Trump team numerous times before — added: ‘California won’t bend to the President’s reckless and politically motivated attacks on our clean car waiver. We’ll hold the line in court to defend our children’s health, save consumers money at the pump and protect our environment.’ The California Air Resources Board’s leader Mary Nichols seems to think that there’s a good possibility the states’ suit will result in a victory for those pushing for the stricter emissions standards. She shared: ‘I started my career litigating to clean up the air in California with one of the first Clean Air Act cases ever filed. I won then and we will win now. We are ready to keep fighting to protect our people and our planet.’ There is a definite precedent for the Trump administration losing in court — some of their most key policy pushes have ended up nullified over and over again. Even the currently conservative majority U.S. Supreme Court has upended a Trump plan (to include a question about citizenship on U.S. census forms) because it was too arbitrary, just like Becerra and others are arguing here. Throughout his time in office, Trump has mostly defined his approach to environmental protection and climate change-related issues by sticking up for corporations when and wherever he can. It’s to that end that he abruptly withdrew the United States from the Paris Climate Accord, for instance — although some areas around the country are still seeking to adhere to the standards it set.

" unreliable,"Obama Returns & Shows Up Trump Yet Again While President Donald Trump still can’t even be counted on to admit that climate change is a real threat to the United States and human civilization at large, figures like former President Barack Obama are still leading the way. This week, he met with 16-year-old Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, who is in the U.S. to press for action via means including meeting with leaders like him and participating in an at this point upcoming student strike over inaction on climate change that mirrors collective action she helped kickstart in Europe. Obama proclaimed Thunberg to be “one of our planet’s greatest advocates.” Along with a photo of the two shaking hands, he shared on Twitter: ‘ is already one of our planet’s greatest advocates.

That agreement set targets for emissions reduction and more — and upon taking office, Trump promptly moved to withdraw the United States from that agreement, complaining that it was supposedly unfair. Numerous jurisdictions around the United States have still moved to implement the provisions of the agreement anyway. Besides Obama, Thunberg has also met with Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey (D), who sponsored the Senate version of the so-called “Green New Deal,” an ambitious plan to take the United States to a point of net-zero carbon emissions within ten years. In the House, that plan was spearheaded by figures including prominent progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) — and unsurprisingly considering precedent, it’s attracted significant Republican opposition. Republicans like Trump’s own campaign have gone all in on taking even the smallest steps to try and salvage the environment as a personal threat.

" unreliable,"Trump Administration Hit With Legal News After Bullying NOAA President Donald Trump hasn’t exactly marked his time in office by being open to suggestions about how to conduct himself. As the continuous train of high-profile departures kept up earlier this year, acting NOAA administrator Tim Gallaudet got removed from his post by Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross in February, and now a pro-democracy group called Democracy Forward as part of an effort to find out exactly why. Gallaudet’s departure came shortly after he told a late 2018 science conference that Trump had apparently not yet asked to be briefed on a single climate-related issue by those at the agency in charge of handling them. Trump has consistently tried to downplay the threat of climate change, mocking the concept on numerous occasions over the years. The new lawsuit comes after the plantiff group filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request in May for documents surrounding Gallaudet’s departure, but authorities refused to comply with that request. After a certain period of noncompliance, filers generally end up taking the targeted authorities to court in their quest for the documents in question. Democracy Forward Executive Director Anne Harkavy insisted: ‘The Trump administration’s attacks on scientists speaking the truth are dangerous. We’re suing to expose improper attempts to politicize NOAA because the public needs to be able to count on science agencies to do their jobs without political interference.’ The possibly politically-motivated, forced departure of Gallaudet earlier this year is definitely not the only issue threatening that trust. Just recently, Trump went on a days-long bender in support of his demonstrably false idea that Alabama at any point stood to receive major impacts from Hurricane Dorian. This included middle of the night messages posted to Twitter mocking members of the media for pointing out his error, even though — quite literally — if it was allowed to go unchecked, large numbers of people would have been left potentially fearing and preparing for a potentially devastating storm that in reality, never would have hit them. Originally, he’d made the mistake in a tweet about the storm, including the state’s name in a list where he shouldn’t have been — and after that, he dug into his position relentlessly, and Ross even pressured top NOAA brass to keep their agency in line rather than correcting the demonstrably wrong, fragile-ego’ed Trump. How far are they willing to go to protect Trump’s ego? What and who are they willing to sacrifice? The tumult at NOAA — where the president’s nominee for leader’s confirmation process has been consistently delayed due to issues like sexual harassment and conflict of interest allegations — is not alone in the story of the Trump administration. Leaders of areas from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to the State and Defense Departments have come and gone under various circumstances. Scott Pruitt left the EPA under a dizzying cloud of scandals centering on him using his position for personal financial benefit, and Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke left under similar scandal. One of his cases was even forwarded to the Justice Department for investigation. Featured Image via screenshot No related posts.

" unreliable,"NOAA Chief Scientist Unveils Internal Investigation In the age of Donald Trump occupying the White House, little to nothing is off limits from wild gaffe-ridden scandal, apparently. For days following the onslaught of Hurricane Dorian, which wrecked The Bahamas and wreaked havoc up and down the East Coast of the United States (and Canada), Trump has occupied himself with insisting he wasn’t actually completely wrong in insisting that Alabama would see effects from the storm despite largely sitting completely outside forecasts. Now, the top scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is apparently into his agency’s response to Trump’s gaffe, which included internal directives against countering the president’s mistake and a public statement throwing those down in Alabama who did under the bus. In an internal email to NOAA staff, that top scientist Craig McLean (who’s actually also got experience as an attorney) denounced the agency’s behavior in the wake of Trump’s mess as “political” and possibly helping inflict a “danger to public health and safety.” As he put it: ‘The NWS Forecaster(s) corrected any public misunderstanding in an expert and timely way, as they should. There followed, last Friday, an unsigned press release from ‘NOAA’ that inappropriately and incorrectly contradicted the NWS forecaster. My understanding is that this intervention to contradict the forecaster was not based on science but on external factors including reputation and appearance, or simply put, political… [T]he content of this press release… compromises the ability of NOAA to convey life-saving information necessary to avoid substantial and specific danger to public health and safety… If the public cannot trust our information, or we debase our forecaster’s warnings and products, that specific danger arises.’ Members of the public rely on official forecasts to make potentially life and death-deciding decisions — but what are they supposed to do if they suddenly have to question whether information got suppressed because it contradicted Trump’s latest random outburst? In light of that question, McLean says he’s investigating whether the agency’s behavior “constituted a violation of NOAA policies and ethics,” in the description of The Washington Post , which obtained a copy of his in-agency communication. Criticism for the agency’s response has been widespread at this point, in addition to the criticism lobbed at the president and his team for obsessing over this issue instead of just admitting a mistake. Even the American Meteorological Society (AMS) chimed in, sharing: ‘AMS believes the criticism of the Birmingham forecast office is unwarranted; rather they should have been commended for their quick action based on science in clearly communicating the lack of threat to the citizens of Alabama.’ Following Trump’s initial false public statement about Dorian’s path and potential impacts, the Birmingham office of the National Weather Service (NWS) corrected him, although not in a direct response. Still, they insisted in a tweet that Alabama would see no effects from the storm, which was consistent with the lion’s share of forecast models available at the time — and an important message to get out, considering Dorian’s already in-place status in the record books as one of the most massive storms in Atlantic history. Trump could have been working to address issues like climate change and the death toll and destruction Dorian left. Instead, he’s nitpicking his public image.

" unreliable,"State Republican Parties Planning To Cancel Primaries As the United States continues to hurtle towards the 2020 election, some state Republican Parties are taking what to many are dramatic steps that in practice, help shore up support for incumbent President Donald Trump. Although two dissenting Republicans have already announced challenges to Trump’s re-election campaign, that state parties in South Carolina, Nevada, Arizona, and Kansas are all “expected to finalize… cancellations” of 2020 state primary elections “in meetings this weekend, according to three GOP officials who are familiar with the plans.” There’s a definitely in-place precedent for state parties deciding to cancel primary elections when there’s an incumbent president from their party in the White House. However, we’re long into the world of being able to abandon precedent in the shadow of Trump’s rise — it’s not as though other commanders-in-chief have seen controversies like them apparently using a Sharpie to mark across an official hurricane track map rather than admit they made a mistake when talking about where the storm was headed. Both of Trump’s so-far declared longshot challengers slammed the apparently looming decision to cancel Republican primary elections across the country. Insisting his campaign isn’t going anywhere, former Congressman Joe Walsh bluntly shared: ‘It’s wrong, the RNC should be ashamed of itself, and I think it does show that Trump is afraid of a serious primary challenge because he knows his support is very soft… We also intend to loudly call out this undemocratic bull on a regular basis.’ Former Massachusetts Governor Bill Weld — who has a past affiliation with the Libertarian Party — added: ‘We don’t elect presidents by acclamation in America. Donald Trump is doing his best to make the Republican Party his own personal club. Republicans deserve better.’ Neither one of them have so far shown up in polls with even close to the level of support that would be required to topple Trump. Weld has gotten up to around 15 percent of the support in polls — but that’s about it. The Republican National Committee has already gotten their own operation underway in support of Trump’s re-election, a campaign for which the president has already hit the rally circuit. Even while pressing national issues remain like climate change, economic tension with China, and more — Trump’s out on the town, spouting blatant lies like his recent claim in New Hampshire that he’d have won the state in 2016 if not for illegal votes. There’s absolutely no evidence of these supposed illegal votes. Even still, Republican officials across the country are falling in line behind the belligerence. POLITICO shares that Trump aides have “worked to ensure total control of the party machinery, installing staunch loyalists at state parties while eliminating potential detractors” – and apparently, they’re already seeing benefits from this scheme. Statements from state party chairpersons didn’t even entirely come from them directly. Some, like Nevada GOP Chairman Michael McDonald’s insistence that it “would be malpractice on my part to waste money on a caucus to come to the inevitable conclusion that President Trump will be getting all our delegates,” came directly from the Trump campaign itself.

Commander-in-chief was about two centuries late for that type of move. One can only hope that he does not get his pirate ship out and invade the island. The American president said he was offended by Frederiksen’s choice of words. Rather than be adult, Trump called the Danish prime minister “nasty” and “inappropriate.” Later, POTUS told reporters: ‘She’s not talking to me. She’s talking to the United States of America. You don’t talk to the United States that way.’ Now, a person can buy non-toxic, inflatable, and easy-to-carry Baby Trump party balloons. They sell on E-Bay for “$1.09 or best offer.

" unreliable,"Trump Live Tweets Sunday Afternoon Gibberish As Hurricane Approaches That education Donald Trump’s father bought for him must not have been worth the paper it was printed upon. First, POTUS moved Alabama from the nation’s southern coast to its eastern coast and into the pathway of Hurricane Dorian. Then, the president showed his education did not meet that available to most fifth-graders. Check this out. Donald Trump stayed home from his scheduled trip to Poland to meet with the presidents of its country and Ukraine. He told Americans that he was staying home to monitor the situation with Hurricane Dorian, but they thought he was trying to avoid a conversation about military aid to Ukraine. As it turned out, he really was concerned about the monster hurricane — hitting his resort Mar-a-Lago. In a meeting at FEMA headquarters, he told officials that he had “never even heard of a Category 5 (hurricane),” according to : ‘We don’t even know what’s coming at us. All we know is it’s possibly the biggest. I have — I’m not sure that I’ve ever even heard of a Category 5. I knew it existed. And I’ve seen some Category 4’s — you don’t even see them that much.’ ‘But a Category 5 is something that — I don’t know that I’ve ever even heard the term other than I know it’s there. That’s the ultimate, and that’s what we have unfortunately.’ As it happened, there have been four Category 5 hurricanes threatening the nation since Trump took office. The president was watching in realtime as Hurricane Dorian made landfall on the Bahamas Abaco Islands. Reporters asked Trump on Friday whether he was worried about his southern White House, Mar-a-Lago, and he responded according to d in Miami: ‘The thing I’m worried about is the state of Florida.’ White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham told reporters that Trump went to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) headquarters in Washington, D.C. She said he had been briefed “every hour.” Mar-a-Lago, is located on the island of Palm Beach, and it has been closed for the summer. The 1920’s mansion with 126 rooms has seen its share of hurricanes. In 2005, Trump’s insurance paid $17 million for hurricane damage. However, an Associated Press (AP) reporter discovered little proof of that much damage. This climate-change-denying president said: ‘Landscaping, roofing, walls, painting, leaks, artwork in the — you know, the great tapestries, tiles, Spanish tiles, the beach, the erosion,” he said of the storm damage. “It’s still not what it was.’ Category 5 Hurricane Irma hit on September 2017: ‘Nearly early eight months into Trump’s presidency, one of the strongest Atlantic basin hurricane ever recorded outside the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, affected at least nine US states.’ Hurricane Maria, Category 5, hit that same September 2017: ‘ leaving behind an island that is still struggling to recover.’ Hurricane Michael was also a Category 5, and it hit October 2018: ‘Hurricane Michael, barreled into the Florida Panhandle as the third Category 5 hurricane to blast the US since Trump.’ The president had a memory lapse, because during the period between when Hurricanes Irma and Maria hit, he said he “never knew” that Category 5’s existed. He said that these were unprecedented that neither he or anyone else had ever “heard of or witnessed:”  ‘…people (in Puerto Rico) had never seen anything like (Hurricane Maria).’ Then, in October 2017, the president was surprised again in a Groundhog movie moment: ‘…nobody has ever heard of a (Category) 5 hitting land.’ Once again in 2019, Trump said he had never heard of a Category 5 strength hurricane. This even though Hurricane Katrina was a Category 5 storm that hit New Orleans, Louisana in 2005. Scientists believe that the super-strength hurricanes will become more frequent in the Atlantic as Greenland’s ice melt erodes away due to climate change. Researches theorize that the warming oceanic waters fuel the monster storms. Certainly, climate change has been causing the ocean levels to rise. That would contribute to the impact of Atlantic hurricanes. Trump said that he would provide federal assistance to state and local officials to deal with the aftermath of Hurricane Dorian.

It makes up almost 10 percent of the greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. Carbon dioxide remains in the atmosphere longer than methane, but it has, according to The New York Times ’80 times the heating-trapping power of carbon dioxide in the first 20 years in the atmosphere.’ Much of that involved the oil and gas industries. Yet, the White House’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was set to push regulation of methane emissions off of the climate change cliff. The EPA’s proposed rule planned to get rid of federal government regulations on the oil and gas industry. Unfortunately, the leaks from natural gas drilling, shipping, and storage have been the biggest offenders when it came to methane emissions. The Trump administration decided to only regulate methane indirectly. However, it did not intend to roll back President Barak Obama’s regulations on “volatile organic compounds” at this time. The federal government ruled that these two members of the country’s business community had to install technology to: ‘…inspect for and repair methane leaks from wells, pipelines and storage facilities.’ Surprisingly, many of the biggest corporations opposed Trump’s new rollback. These include the large auto companies, which do not like the plan to allow more auto emission pollution. In addition, there were electric utilities that have been against relaxing restrictions on: United Nations Special Representative on Sustainable Energy Rachel Kyte said: ‘This is extraordinarily harmful.Just at a time when the federal government’s job should be to help localities and states move faster toward cleaner energy and a cleaner economy, just at that moment when speed and scale is what’s at stake, the government is walking off the field.’ Senior Director of the Environmental Defense Fund Ben Rathner said: ‘The reputation of American natural gas is at the precipice, and methane rollbacks are the shove. Executive Vice President of the Independent Petroleum Association of America said that small operators cannot afford to absorb the costs of inspecting or repairing wells. This would be far easier for Exxon or Shell: It’s much easier for them to regulate those existing sources. But for these small businesses, it’s a very different economic impact.’ Vice President of the American Petroleum Institute Erik Milito, which is a trade organization for the oil and gas sector, was all behind the planned rule: ‘We think it’s a smarter way of targeting methane emissions.’ United States Chair for Shell Gretchen Watkins wanted regulations: ‘…that will both regulate existing methane emissions by also future methane emissions.’ Executive Vice President of the Independent Petroleum Association of America Lee Fuller said about the bigger oil and gas companies: ‘It’s much easier for them to regulate those existing sources. But for these small businesses, it’s a very different economic impact.’ The Mueller Report Adventures: In Bite-Sizes  on this  . These quick, two-minute reads interpret the report in normal English for busy people.  Mueller Bite-Sizes  uncovers what is essentially a compelling spy mystery.

" unreliable,"Trump Holds Extended Press Conference At G7 - Humiliates U.S. Instantly Last year, there was a classic photograph of a truculent Donald Trump sitting at a desk with his arms crossed. The rest of the leaders were standing over him, and Germany’s Prime Minister Angela Merkel was leaning over the desk and into him. This year was far different. In a wide-ranging press conference, POTUS discussed: Iran, China, Russia, trade, and his Florida property. The theme throughout the news conference signaled Trump’s optimism. He said repeatedly “I do nothing for policy.” The president of America blamed President Barack Obama for the G-7 ejecting Russia. However, this was not a unilateral decision. With no provocation, Russia invaded Crimea and annexed Crimea. The U.S. president said, as reported: ‘It was annexed during Obama’s term. Crimea. I’d say I’m sorry if I did that. Russia does their submarine work there. Pure and simple. [Russia’s President Vladimir Putin] Could have been stopped, but President Obama was unable to stop it. Putin outsmarted Obama. Thinking about the world and this country, isn’t it better to have Russia inside rather than outside of the tent?’ As far as next year, Trump said that he would invite Putin, but the American president did not know whether the invitation would be accepted: ‘The G-7 host can invite anyone you want. It’s a pretty tough thing for him [Putin.] Whether or not he would come, it’s a tough thing to do. He’s a proud man.’ This issue was not as simple as Trump tried to make it. Ukraine supported a war criminal who had been killing thousands of people. The Russians also invaded the American elections. French President Emmanuel Macron invited Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani to the G-7 and has been working behind the scenes to arrange a meeting between Iran’s president and Trump in two to three weeks. Macron said he would mediate. POTUS said: ‘Two to three weeks. I’m not ready for that. I’m not looking for a leadership change in Iran. That doesn’t work. It is simple, No nuclear weapons, no ballistic missiles.’ Realistically, with an embedded theocracy in Teran, Iran, that has been very difficult. The U.S. would be far closer to working a deal with North Korea. China has not changed stipulations that Trump drop his tariffs. At the same time, POTUS has demanded that the U.S. companies move out of China. ‘There have been many high-level calls. The vice-chairman of China released a statement that China wants to make a deal, to have a calm environment. There have also been numerous calls with Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and others:’ ‘President Xi, he’s a tough guy. Very outstanding in so many ways. But China’s stealing our intellection properties. I don’t want to do business with China. We have to balance the trading agreement to a certain extent. If we can, we would make a deal.’ On climate change, the U.S. president said: ‘I harbor skepticism. The U.S. has tremendous wealth. I’ve made that wealth come alive. We’re the number one energy producer in the world. I opened Anwar in Alaska. Reagan wasn’t able to do it. I did it. Tremendous wealth. I want the cleanest water on earth, the cleanest air. I’m an environmentalist. I’ve done many more papers on the environment.’ Trump will host next year’s G-7 meeting. He wanted to hold it at his Dural Golf Club in Miami, Florida, so he and pitched it to the reporters. When they asked about a conflict of interest, he said: ‘It’s such a natural. If I wanted to make money, I’ve lost three to five billion in the presidency. I do nothing for politics. I just do what’s right, what I really think it’s good for the economics of the world.’ The Forbes magazine fact-checked Trump’s statement previously and found it was not accurate. When asked about creating global economic instability, if that was a strategy, POTUS replied: ‘It’s the way I negotiate. Sorry. Here’s the story. I just make a deal. They don’t have the guts you can’t continue to go on with $500 billion out every year. It should have been done by other people, Obama, Bush. Double Bush. Even Reagan. I’m going to do it.’ The American president appeared to get along well with the U.K.’s Prime Minister Dave Johnson: ‘For Brexit, Johnson’sthe right man for the job. Can Johnson get deal with EU before Oct. 31st? I gave [former Prime Minister May] Theresa my deas. Dave’s a very, very good person, and she’s a very, very good woman. Johnson, I think it’s going to be doing a great job. He’s very smart very enthusiastic. Really loves your country…It’s the right time for Boris.’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWkQMHVU5qc The Mueller Report Adventures: In Bite-Sizes  on this  . These quick, two-minute reads interpret the report in normal English for busy people.  Mueller Bite-Sizes  uncovers what is essentially a compelling spy mystery.

At the Group of 7 Summit, other leaders looked to the U.S. for top leadership, but they found POTUS missing in action. Everyone has been walking on eggshells around Trump and breathed a sigh of relief when this happened. The commander-in-chief simply did not bother to show up at the meeting to address the terrible fires decimating the Amazon rain forest. In his absence, the G-7 decided upon a $20 million aid package for Brazil and neighboring countries to fight the raging fire, according to France’s President Emmanuel Macron. Twenty million dollars may not cover the need to deal with the tens of thousands of acres on fire. Chile’s President Sebastian Pinera noted that specialized aircraft and fire brigades that were trained to deal with this sort of disaster and well-equipped. This fire has been taking down a forest that provides one-fifth of the world’s oxygen producers. As that happened, the fires released carbon dioxide in a tragic circle of destruction. Not only that, wildlife, its habitat, and Indigenous people have been threatened. The French and Chile presidents announced that they had decided upon an “agreement in principle” with the countries lining the Amazon basin, according to The New York Times . They said it was for a “long-term program of forest protection and reforestation of cleared lands.” The two leaders said that it was possible they would have additional information when the United National General Assembly next month. The G-7 members and representatives of countries not in the group met to discuss “climate, the oceans, and biodiversity.” Trump indicated that he had a conflict of interest, a meeting with other world leaders, that prevented him from attending the environmental meeting. White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham said that the president sent a senior White House member to take his place. Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel have both said that the Amazon fires constituted a global crisis that could tip the scales in climate change. Macron indicated that America was behind the initiative, but he acceded that Trump had not attended the working session about the environment. Environmental groups have accused Brazil’s new president Jair Bolsonaro of encouraging the burning of Amazon forests to provide more agricultural space. Farmers and ranchers ostensibly cleared the forest to provide farmland or grazing land. Bolsonaro does not believe in climate change, and some believed that those who set the original fires were doing so to gain favor with the Brazilian president. According to the satellites, there were over 41,000 fires in the Amazon basis in 2019. In August alone, over half of those fires occurred. Unfortunately, the cleared land was not fertile. Once the surrounding foliage has been cleared, the environment that created the rains evaporated and created near-desert conditions.

" unreliable,"Trump Cancels Protections For Utah Monument So It Can Be Mined At a time when climate change scientists are warning that protecting the planet is critical for human survival even in the short term, when warning signs point to a very left to limit the damage climate change will cause, and as to some of the highest levels in recorded history, the president of the United States feels this is the time to reduce environmental protections and roll back efforts to protect the planet. Under a new plan released today, hundreds of thousands of acres inside what used to be Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument will be available for mining — The Salt Lake Tribune (@sltrib) The latest evidence of this comes from the Trump administration’s decision to further cut the protected area of one of the national monument in Utah, the Grand Staircase-Escalante. Trump’s administration cut the protected areas from 3,000 acres down to just over 1,500 in 2017 and further cuts are planned. The Associated Press reports that: ‘The Bureau of Land Management’s plan for the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in southwestern Utah codifies that the lands cut out of the monument will be open to mineral extraction such as oil, gas and coal as expected, according to a plan the agency provided to The Associated Press. ‘The agency chose an option that doesn’t add any areas of critical environmental concern, increases lands open to cattle grazing and could raise the potential for “adverse effects” on lands and resources in the monument, the document shows.’ An area the size of Rhode Island will be open to coal mining if a new BLM plan for land carved out of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument is finalized — Bobby Magill (@bobbymagill) Of course, the motivation is money, which is only to be expected of Trump and the GOP. The lands will be opened up for mining for oil, coal, and gas, all industries that should be reduced in order to protect the land rather than revived. Trump isn’t big on science, however, or anyone with goals that don’t include increasing a financial bottom line, so efforts to curtail the cuts have been ignored. ‘Conservation and paleontology groups vehemently opposed the downsizing of the monument and have lawsuits pending challenging the move. Those groups criticized the plan’s lack of land protections and consider the plan a waste of taxpayer resources, saying the government should not have acted until the lawsuits are resolved.’ BREAKING: 's new (horrible 👎) plan for -Escalante National Monument is another undemocratic step toward undermining protections for Americans’ national monuments and other protected . — Wilderness Society 🌳 (@Wilderness) While the Trump administration insists that the provisions they’ve already made to consider protections for the environment in cutting the monument’s lands down are enough, conservationists say that the push to take over these lands have been evident from Trump’s earliest days in office. ‘To Steve Bloch, legal director at the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance conservation group, it’s unforgivable to cut the monument in half and downgrade the excluded lands into what he calls “garden variety public lands.” ‘“Grand Staircase-Escalante is one of the nation’s public land crown jewels and from the outset the Trump administration was hell-bent on destroying this place,” Bloch said.’ ""Grand Staircase-Escalante is being taken from the public and handed to the highest bidder."" -NPCA's President & CEO .

" unreliable,"Multiple States Join Lawsuit Against Trump When President Barack Obama told a joke at Donald Trump’s expense during one of his White House Correspondents’ Dinners, the world shifted. Few of us realized the consequences of those remarks. From all appearances, Trump has no sense of humor, especially when he is the butt of the joke. POTUS vowed he would become president and erase everything that Obama ever accomplished. Since he moved into the Oval Office, Trump has been doing his best to dismantle any federal climate change activity to the point of removing the words “climate change” from most research documents. Trump’s people have been easing restrictions on coal-burning power plants. As a result, 29 states and cities sued the Trump administration. In an attempt to limit how much power future administrations would have over climate change, this lawsuit restricts the major sources of pollution, according to  The New York Times. New York’s attorney general Letitia James argued against the suit, claiming that the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) had: ‘NO BASIS FOR WEAKENING AN OBAMA-ERA REGULATION THAT SET THE FIRST-EVER NATIONAL LIMITS ON CARBON DIOXIDE POLLUTION FROM POWER PLANTS.’ That rule was called the Clean Power Plan. It said states had until 2022 to find ways for the state to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The federal government helped by closing plants that were particularly heavily polluting. Those sources of energy were replaced with natural gas or renewable energy. The problem with carbon dioxide is that it trapped the heat of the sun. Professor specializing in environmental law at New York University Richard Revesz said: ‘IT WOULD HAVE A DEVASTATING EFFECT ON THE ABILITY OF FUTURE ADMINISTRATIONS TO REGULATE GREENHOUSE GASES UNDER THE CLEAN AIR ACT. IT WOULD ESSENTIALLY MAKE IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO REGULATE GREENHOUSE GASES EFFECTIVELY.’ EPA spokesperson Michael Abboud released a statement noting that the EPA did not comment on pending litigation: ‘EPA WORKED DILIGENTLY TO ENSURE WE PRODUCED A SOLID RULE, THAT WE BELIEVE WILL BE UPHELD IN THE COURTS, UNLIKE THE PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION’S CLEAN POWER PLAN.’ California Attorney General Xavier Becerra said Trump’s rule was “toothless” and referred to it as the “fossil fuel protection plan.” The EPA must use the best ways to reduce emissions that it could find: ‘THE CLEAN AIR ACT REQUIRES THE E.P.A. TO UTILIZE THE BEST SYSTEM OF EMISSIONS REDUCTION THAT IT CAN FIND. THIS RULE DOES THE OPPOSITE.’ The last group of cities and states and to join the lawsuit, bringing the grand total to 29 (including the seven cities) were: ‘MASSACHUSETTS, CALIFORNIA, COLORADO, WISCONSIN, NORTH CAROLINA, CHICAGO AND MIAMI.’ ‘OTHERS JOINING THE SUIT INCLUDE CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE, HAWAII, ILLINOIS, MAINE, MARYLAND, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, NEW JERSEY, OREGON, PENNSYLVANIA, RHODE ISLAND, VERMONT, VIRGINIA, WASHINGTON, AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, AS WELL AS BOULDER, LOS ANGELES, NEW YORK CITY AND PHILADELPHIA.’ The Mueller Report Adventures: In Bite-Sizes  on this  . These quick, two-minute reads interpret the report in normal English for busy people.  Mueller Bite-Sizes  uncovers what is essentially a compelling spy mystery.

Michelle Obama and to help get students ready for the first year of college in series, ""A Students' Guide to Your First Year of College."" — Reach Higher (@ReachHigher) The former first lady will be starring in a new YouTube series according to a trailer released on Saturday. The purpose of the series will be to talk first-year college students through that initial culture shock and helping to prepare them for academic success. According to Newsweek : ‘Obama and her education initiative, Reach Higher, partnered with NowThis and YouTube to create a 10-episode “crash course” for college students. Titled, “A Students’ Guide to Your First Year of College,” the learning playlist is set to debut in September. ‘News of the collaborative effort came about a week after Obama hosted her annual Beating the Odds Summit at Howard University in Washington, D.C.

Obama is no stranger to that feeling, as she herself was a first generation student when she began her academic career at Princeton University. ‘A first-generation college graduate herself, Obama advised students at this year’s summit to major in something that excites them, reach out if they’re struggling and be patient when it comes to making friends. Regardless of the topic of the question, the former first lady’s advice largely centered on ensuring students knew they weren’t alone. That freshmen students were generally experiencing the same difficulties even if it might feel as if everyone had it together. ‘Years ago, Obama was one of those freshman students that found adjusting to college difficult at times. ‘”When my dad dropped me off at college, I remember feeling overwhelmed and I have a feeling that some of you might know what I’m talking about,” Obama said in a trailer for the YouTube series. “You’re not the only ones.”‘   Michelle Obama Part of YouTube Series for College Students – — VaNessa P.

He should stay far, far away from the humor stick, because he just has not shown he has any genuine humor himself, and the debates were far from amusing.

They were environmentalists, writers, artists, entrepreneurs, bureaucrats, lawyers and business developers, who decided to issue a formal invitation.’ Another Slovenian fashion model Maja Ferme has known Mrs. Trump as a friend and a generous donor for charities for several years. She expected the first lady to be more active in the “international arena.” Communications consultant Darinka Pavlic Kamien agreed: ‘Frankly, I have not heard a single strong statement by Melania in years, which is kind of embarrassing, if not shameful.’ Adviser to foreign investors with Slovenian regional interests Nena Cresnar Pregar said she respected the first lady when she was younger and spelled her name as Melanja Knavs: ‘She had more courage in her youth, I would inspire her to speak out for equality (versus Trump who is) spreading hatred in every Twitter post. We would also want her to be more engaged on freeing immigrants’ children from prisons, on global climate change issues. Otherwise she’ll be remembered for her “Don’t Care” jacket.’ The president’s wife explained about the jacket: ‘I wore the jacket to go on the plane and off the plane. And it was for the people and for the left-wing media to show them that I don’t care. You will not stop me to do what I feel is right. It was kind of a message. I would prefer that they would focus on what I do and my initiatives, than what I wear.’ Former state secretary of Slovenia Tico Zupancic commented: ‘Melania might realize she’s been a puppet on invisible strings, recalculate her position and decide that her bank accounts are not as important as her reputation. The group of brilliant women would like to invite her to her homeland, she should use this chance to break free, grow vocal.’ Although the State Department did send its congratulations, the White House had not congratulated Slovenia on the Statehood Day, June 25th. Melania Trump biographer Bojan Pozar said: ‘No word of congratulations arrived from the White House on June 25, the Statehood Day. The way Melania’s treated Slovenia has been fundamentally wrong.’ The vice-chair of the American Chamber of Commerce in Europe Ajsa Vodnik defended the first lady. The two met when Melanja Knavs was just 17-years-old. Vlodnik noted that the Slovene language is spoken in the White House: ‘Her son speaks Slovene with his grandparents in the White House.  language is very important.’ Leading environmentalist in Slovenia Gaja Brecelj said: ‘If Trump does not believe in global climate change, it does not matter. It’s time for Melania to become her own person, think with her own head. Hello, Melania, do this for Barron, for his children, push your husband: we need to change the world’s energy system, traffic system—what we all do now will show in 100 years.’ At a brainstorming session, Jerca Legan said: ‘We invite Melania to join our movement of women without borders, we’d empower her.

Official Resigns Out Of Spite In a morning tweet this week, Donald Trump threw in a couple of words about the country’s “estuaries, our rivers, our water – everything better.” Someone must have gotten through to him that the environment was important to suburban women’s and millennial’s voting. The problem is two-fold. He does not believe in climate change. Second, money is more important to Trump than his grandchildren’s lives. He told our world-class climate change scientists to pack up and move to Kansas City in 30 days. Then, this happened. The White House blocked a State Department intelligence official from giving written testimony to the House Intelligence Committee about the environment. Rod Schoonover resigned in protest after nearly 10 years on the job. At the time of his resignation, he worked at the Bureau of Intelligence and Research Office of the Geographer and Global Issues. He testified about the U.S. security risks due to climate change before the committee on June 5, 2019. However, when it came to the bureau’s written statement to the committee, he told the White House he refused to omit references to “federal scientific findings on climate change,” because the climate impacts might be “possibly catastrophic.” That was when the White House insisted. Schoonover resigned.     Director of the Center for Science and Democracy at the Union of Concerned Scientists Andrew Rosenberg said that any federal expert should be able to share their knowledge with Congress regardless of who the president is: ‘This isn’t carrying forward your political opinions. This is bringing the work you’re hired to do in a policy setting.’ Rosenberg noted that although the intelligence official resigned, it was a blow to other government professionals. However, there have been experts intimidated by the White House and other government officials before: ‘That’s just a terrible signal to federal professionals broadly, to people in the State Department who don’t know what they can say in their relations with other countries and the Hill.’ Director for the Center for Energy and Environment at the conservative Competitive Enterprise Institute Myron Ebell said he thought that this was a political decision by the Trump campaign consultants. These consultants told him: ‘We have polling showing that you need to and not start controversial things that will get you bad press, like going after climate science.’ CEO of the Council on Strategic Risks and co-founder of the Center for Climate and Security Francesco Femina was happy to call off the alternative task force the White House considered implementing. She emailed the Washinton Post: ‘The very lowest baseline is that the White House should never politicize science or intelligence analysis, so this isn’t anything to celebrate under normal circumstances.’ She continued: ‘But it is still good to see this politically-motivated effort fail. The national security, military, intelligence and science communities came out strongly against it, and the result affirms that standing up for the integrity of our democratic system matters, especially since too many of our political leaders won’t.’ Schoonover worked at the Bureau of Intelligence and Research.

As the Trump administration plans to at least try and roll back Obama era standards for gas mileage on cars, a full 23 governors from across the United States have joined with California’s already formulated plan to stick with the standards. Demanding better gas mileage would help cut down on the level of carbon emissions sent into the atmosphere, which contribute to global warming — although depending on the Republican you ask, you might find that the GOP still refuses to believe climate change is even a thing. Even still, the 23 mostly all Democratic governors and California Governor Gavin Newsom himself signed a pledge ‘We will not compromise on our responsibility to protect the health of our communities, our climate, and the savings consumers stand to gain at the pump. We will continue to pursue additional concrete actions to fulfill this duty and defend against any threats.’ The Trump administration has cited price and demand concerns in their efforts to relax the mileage standards, claiming that automobile prices will go up and people will be therefore be unable to actually get a new automobile and supposedly less safe vehicles will be on the road for longer than necessary. The Associated Press notes that engineers have challenged the Trump administration’s claims. This case is not the first in which individual states have taken steps to thwart the Trump administration’s plans to roll back environmental protection. When he was still in office, now former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel led a gathering of leaders who committed to following the tenets of the Paris climate accord following the president deciding to withdraw the United States from the agreement, which had been signed by almost every country on earth and laid out a framework for reducing carbon emissions. In the time since, Trump has take credit for supposedly strengthening protection of the environment in the United States — but that just doesn’t reflect the actual situation. He’s not the one to have invented something like forest management, and in reality, former head of EPA’s air office Janet McCabe shares: ‘There is almost no proposed or final rule that has come out of the Trump EPA that will provide greater protection to public health, and many that would allow increases in air pollution, small or large.’ Besides the planned rollback of standards for vehicle efficiency, Trump has also slashed environmental protection through means like shrinking the amount of emissions demanded to be cut from coal power plants and eliminating federal oversight of some smaller waterways across the United States. During the campaign season ahead of his eventual surprise victory, Trump pledged to turn the Environmental Protection Agency to “little bits,” and he seems to be at least trying to make good on that promise. Amazingly, this is already having apparent negative effects, because in 2018 after hitting a 25 year low, greenhouse gas emissions in the United States went up by as much as 2.5 percent.

He is not as great with imposing tariffs, healthcare, and the environment. Trump’s avid followers would follow him to Guana, South America and drink all the poisoned kool-aid and ask for more. They do not care about the environment or any factual evidence. Basically, his strategy has been to ruin everything that President Barack Obama did for the country. The problem is, he has nothing to replace them with. Today he has chosen the scattergun approach to convince Americans that he cares about their issues, but it gets kind of weird. Yet, maybe the president thought he could pull in a few people from the left side of the ticket. After all, it is hard to be gung ho for the environment when a person does not believe in climate change: ‘ ‘Food Stamp participation hits 10 year low. Wow! @OANN’ ‘India has long had a field day putting Tariffs on American products. No longer acceptable!’ ‘Recent “strained” decisions by the United States Supreme Court, some so simple as allowing the question, “Are you a citizen of the United States” on our very expensive Census Report, or the even more strained decisions (2) allowing the world’s most expensive & pathetic……’ ‘….healthcare (Obamacare) to stay in place, when it would have been replaced by something far better, shows how incredibly important our upcoming 2020 Election is.

" unreliable,"Biden Goes After Trump's Jugular In Bout Of Monday Madness Former vice president Joe Biden has threatened to take Donald Trump out behind the barn to settle their differences. When he was in grade school, he was bullied and came home to tell his mother. She sent him back out to deal with the bullies, reported: ‘When I got knocked down by guys bigger than me, and this is the God’s truth, she sent me back out and said, “Bloody their nose…so you can walk down the street the next day,'”he recounted in his convention in Denver. “And that’s what I did.’ Biden wrote an op-ed for The Miami Herald , an exclusive. His op-ed appeared the same week that he will go up against 19 other candidates for the 2020 presidential race. In it, the former vice president talked about his immigration policies: ‘Last week gave us more evidence that President Trump’s morally bankrupt re-election strategy relies on vilifying immigrants to score political points while implementing policies that ensure asylum seekers and refugees keep arriving at our border.’ ‘…just hours after his State Department confirmed it was cutting off aid to El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras — the very countries from which most migrants are fleeing. It’s clear Trump is only interested in using his policies to assault the dignity of the Hispanic community and scare voters to turn out on Election Day, while not addressing the real challenges facing our hemisphere.’ Most Americans have been the descendants of immigrants. Many of those immigrants were persecuted elsewhere, and they found refuge here: ‘We are a nation of laws and a nation of immigrants. Our country is made up of hard-working, aspirational people from every culture, from every nation — and that is an indisputable strength. There’s no better example of the richness that’s possible when the United States is closely knit together with our neighbors in Latin America and the Caribbean than the city of Miami. The next president must institute effective immigration reform while restoring regional policies grounded in respect.’ Joe Biden not only talked the talk, he had a plan, starting with “recognizing the DREAMers:” ‘That starts by recognizing that DREAMers are Americans, and Congress needs to make it official. The millions of undocumented people in the United States can only be brought out of the shadows through fair treatment, not ugly threats. Trump’s efforts to repeal Temporary Protected Status (TPS) across the board have injected unnecessary uncertainty into the lives of thousands of families. Our asylum system needs to be improved, but the answer is to streamline and strengthen it so that it benefits legitimate claims of those fleeing persecution, while reducing potential for abuse.’ Biden recognized that the U.S. borders must be secure against human traffickers, drug dealers, and gang members. Yet, he slammed Trump’s wall as “divorced from reality: ‘It won’t stop the flow of illegal narcotics or human trafficking, both of which come primarily through legal ports of entry. Nor will it stop asylum seekers fleeing the most desperate conditions imaginable and who have the right to have their cases heard. Nor will it stem the numbers of undocumented, most of whom overstay legal visas.’ Instead, the candidate offered an alternative to the wall: ‘We need to focus instead on improving screening procedures at our legal ports of entry and making smart investments in border technology. These are sensible policies that will do more for our security than a wall ever could.’ Then, Biden went into finding a “major, bipartisan effort” that addressed the root causes of the immigration problem. Unfortunately, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has blocked good legislation from reaching the Senate floor for a decade. He is unlikely to change, but the candidate said: ‘The true solution to this challenge can be found in Mexico’s increasing prosperity and El Salvador’s improved security situation, which have both been linked to lower levels of migration. As vice president, I led a major, bipartisan effort to address the root causes that push people to flee, relieving pressure on our border by improving security, reducing inequality and expanding economic opportunity in Central America so that people feel safe to stay in their home countries. We were making progress until President Trump replaced sound strategy with hostility and inflammatory rhetoric.’ Then, “Uncle Joe” described “horrifying scenes at the border:” ‘Under Trump, there have been horrifying scenes at the border of kids being kept in cages, tear-gassing asylum seekers, ripping children from their mothers’ arms — actions that subvert American values and erode our ability to lead on the global stage.’ Once again, the former vice president went back to a “united, regional response.” He may be trying to recapture a time long gone: ‘At a time when the challenges we face demand a united, regional response, Trump repeatedly invokes racist invective to describe anyone south of the Rio Grande, including calling migrants “animals.” Rather than standing with our partners in the region to take on corruption, transnational criminal groups, climate change and threats to democracy and the rule of law, Trump’s wrong-headed policies are leading us astray at every turn.’ Then, Biden turned to Trump’s Venezuelan policies. Clearly, the former vice president knew his political history, unlike the sitting president: ‘Trump has badly misjudged what it will take to bring democracy back to Venezuela, and his increasing belligerence threatens the international coalition of more than 50 countries that recognize Juan Guaidó as the interim president of Venezuela. To date, the administration has made every effort to capitalize politically on the Venezuelan crisis, but its refusal to grant TPS to the thousands of Venezuelans fleeing persecution shows it cares little about the Venezuelan people’s suffering.’ Then, the 45th vice-president condemned Trump’s “badgering” and tariff threats: ‘Add to that Trump’s badgering Mexico with the threat of tariffs, flinging insults at vital partners such as Colombia and callously limiting the ability of Cuban Americans to reunite with and support their families in Cuba, and the administration’s Latin America policy, at best, is a Cold War-era retread and, at worst, an ineffective mess. Trump’s failures in the region are even more dangerous because China and Russia are becoming increasingly active in the Americas — and that is before we address the simmering crises in Nicaragua, Haiti, Honduras and elsewhere.’ Indeed, Biden has the history to back up his claims of experience in presidential matters: ‘As vice president, I led the Obama-Biden administration’s engagements with the region, deepening our partnerships and building relationships rooted in respect that delivered real results.’ The former VP ended by reminding people about “Trump taking a wrecking ball” to our neighbor relationships: ‘After four years of Trump taking a wrecking ball to our hemispheric ties, experienced and respected U.S. leadership will be vital to repairing cooperation and addressing shared regional challenges. If elected president, my first step will be to ensure that our policies in the Americas once again reflect our American values.’ No related posts. " unreliable,"Trump Speaks Out About UFOs In Bizarre Interview With ABC (VIDEO) President Donald Trump continues to weigh in on topics across the U.S. government with his uniquely egomanical spin, including now the possibility of there being sentient life out there beyond this planet. In a wide-ranging time spent with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, he touched on the subject at the journalist’s request, and revealed that he doesn’t “particularly” believe in unidentified flying objects (UFOs) having any kind of actually truly unidentifiable origin. Perhaps that helps explain some of his behavior, particularly his repeatedly demonstrated readiness to go to absolutely outlandish extremes in description of himself and his supposedly wonderful presidency. His horizons are limited — at best. He told Stephanopoulos, discussing the specific case of Navy pilots reporting unsettling UFOs, which The New York Times recently shared a recap of: ‘I think it’s probably — I want them to think whatever they think. They do say, I mean, I’ve seen, and I’ve read, and I’ve heard. And I did have one very brief meeting on it. But people are saying they’re seeing UFOs. Do I believe it? Not particularly.’ Watch Other things he just doesn’t “believe” in include climate change, so he’s not exactly the greatest authority here. After his own administration came out with a report outlining looming negative impacts on the U.S. and its economy from the ruthless onward march of climate change, that was his blunt response to reporters — he doesn’t believe it. Like in that case, some of the president’s avid disbelief persists even in the face of evidence piling up in front of him. Stephanopoulos asked him about this, questioning what exactly would happen with information about substantively questionable UFOs, to which the president responded: ‘Well, I think my great — our great — pilots would know. And some of them really see things that are a little bit different than in the past. So we’re going to see. But we’ll watch it. You’ll be the first to know.’ It’s notable — and in another era, might be a big political scandal — for Trump to refer to people as “my great pilots” who could have begun their military service well before he came around the White House and might continue it well after he leaves. Even in this context, his egotism is coming through. In the past — outside the context of Trump — the federal government maintained the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program to collect and deal with reports from interests like Navy pilots of flying objects that eluded identification. That program’s government funding got cut off years ago — before its existence was ever even publicly revealed — so federal government efforts to respond to unidentified flying objects have continued through a stop-and-start pattern. Notably enough, back in the present, Trump has taken a particular interest in space. He’s pushed for the creation of a “Space Force” as another branch of the U.S. Armed Services. Outside of rumors of a Netflix comedy starring Steve Carell, that plan hasn’t gotten off the ground in spectacular fashion, although the Trump administration has been drawing up plans for it, including covering funding.

" unreliable,"Trump Releases New Campaign Video Full Of Lies & People Are Pissed Trump was campaigning in Iowa all day Tuesday and spent an hour or so about how his administration has been, and will be, focused on taking care of them. Of course, anyone who has been paying attention to the effects of Climate Change and Trump’s tariff war with China and Mexico knows this is a total lie.

" unreliable,"Sarah Sanders Trash-Talks Biden, Blames Him For Russia In Belligerent Rant Donald Trump has been tearing down our intelligence community, our institutions, and our traditions. He has gone after our Judicial branch, our Legislative branch, and has been screwing the Executive branch into a double-decker pretzel. He is blatant in many of his attacks, so when he slips in changes out of sight, people have a hard time recognizing them. This is how he does it. Sanders’ job has been to pass on the president’s lies, spiced with a few of her own. As she stood in the driveway to the White House, she was enraged, something she has become quite accomplished at doing. The White House press room has literally been gathering dust for lack of use (and cleaning). That showed the president’s total disrespect for the media. Instead, White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders holds “press gaggles.” They happen on the drives around the White House on the run practically with no chance of follow-up questions. Reporters asked her how the president reacted to Biden saying he was an “existential threat.” Sanders responded according to  “I’m sure Biden has a lot of questions he needs to answer himself.’ Trump’s press secretary also said that Biden “allowed Russia to interfere” in the 2016 presidential election: ‘(Biden was) part of the administration that allowed Russia to interfere in our election… they allowed China to continue to grow.’ Anchor and reporter for conservative OANN, Stephanie Myers, tweeted: ‘White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders speaks during press gaggle @ PressSec: “It’s a sad day when Mexico and the Mexican government are doing more than Democrats to secure the southern border.”‘ Then, the conservative anchor continued: ‘ @ PressSec: “The border is being completely overrun and we have to see something dramatically change,” before saying they believe the Trump administration is on the right path.’ As Myers wrapped her tweeting up, she repeated former vice president Joe Biden’s comment, calling Trump a threat to the country’s very core, an “existential threat:” ‘When asked about Joe Biden campaigning in Iowa today since Pres. @ realDonaldTrump will be there as well, @ PressSec says, “I’m sure Biden has a lot of questions he needs to answer himself.” Biden reportedly plans to call Pres. Trump an “existential threat.”‘ Editor at ThinkProgress Aaron Ruper tweeted that Sanders commented to Fox & Friends : ‘Asked on Fox & Friends about the purported secret immigration deal Trump has been touting, Sarah Sanders punts, says, “look, I’m not going to get ahead of President Trump or the president of Mexico in making further announcements.”‘ Asked on Fox & Friends about the purported secret immigration deal Trump has been touting, Sarah Sanders punts, says, “look, I’m not going to get ahead of President Trump or the president of Mexico in making further announcements.” — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) Biden intends to appeal to people’s emotions with his own about Trump’s “crude language” and “embarrassing behavior,” according to ‘What are you going to do when your kids start tweeting like Trump and say, “Well, the president did it.’ The former vice president will say this in his speech: ‘How many sleepless nights do you think Trump has had over what he’s doing to America’s farmers? Here’s the answer: Just as many as he had when he stiffed the construction workers and electricians and plumbers who built his hotels and casinos. Zero.’ Biden will also relate to Target cashiers: ‘(C)ashiers at Target … know more about economics than Trump.’ Biden will talk about climate change, too. He will criticize Trump comments on the subject: ‘If he was just another rich guy sitting in his gold-plated apartment in Manhattan tweeting about how those pointy-headed scientists don’t know anything, it wouldn’t matter — but he’s president.’ No related posts.

After all, Trump has already made it clear that money is his focus and he doesn’t understand science, anyway. However, blocking that information from those who make laws and do understand the needs for scientific evidence is an all-new way to cause harm. ‘The effort to edit, and ultimately suppress, the written testimony of a senior analyst at the State Department’s Bureau of Intelligence and Research comes as the Trump administration is debating how to best challenge the idea that the burning of fossil fuels is warming the planet and could pose serious risks unless the world makes deep cuts in greenhouse gas emissions over the next decade. Senior military and intelligence officials have continued to warn climate change could undermine America’s national security, a position President Trump rejects.’ One more impeachable offense, how long are we supposed to go along with this and pretend this guy is president? Doesn't make any sense any longer. I hope we get the names of all the intelligence officials and other state department… — Gordon Fuller (@FULLERTWEETS) As much as Trump likes to brag about putting America first and keeping us all safe from terrorists (but only the brown ones because they don’t vote for him), he’s ignoring the biggest threat to national security there is.

As he sat for a press conference on trade and European political affairs, protesters outside opposed the welcome he received from the Irish government. “We have the cleanest air in the United States,” Trump claims in Ireland, saying “it’s gotten cleaner” while he has been president and the US is apparently “setting records” when it comes to water quality — Manu Raju (@mkraju) Trump gave a press conference with Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar, where he advocated for a hard border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, a controversial issue opposed by many in Ireland. His motives for visiting Ireland were questioned by members of the press. One reporter asked Trump if his visit was more about promoting his golf course than anything else. Trump answered that it wasn’t. ‘This trip is really about great relationships that we have with the UK. I really wanted to do this stop … because of the relationship I have with the people and with your Prime Minister.’ The question follows a report from MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show that Trump initially requested that the location of the meeting with Varadkar at his golf resort in Ireland. Maddow summarized the Irish government’s response to that request by saying: ‘No, we will not use our government to create a commercial for your golf course. Even though you, sir, are clearly comfortable using the American government to hold a commercial for your golf course.’ The two will, instead, met in an airport lounge for the press conference after Trump refused their suggestion for a location, which was a nearby castle.

We are using our democratic right to object to his visit, and we would like to say there is a different Ireland which is not in agreement with what Trump represents globally. I think there is a very significant opposition to Trump’s visits from a very broad nature of people opposing his views and what he represents, and this is not protesting against the American people, today we saw American people actually joining with us in this photo call. ‘We stand in solidarity with American women, Black Lives Matter, with the Me Too campaign, with the Mexicans who are separated from their children at the border.’ For Trump’s full press conference, see below: Featured image screenshot via No related posts.

Trump on not having served in Vietnam: “I think I make up for it now.” — Aaron Blake (@AaronBlake) It’s good to be born rich, as Trump can readily attest. While poor American men were forced to serve and die in Vietnam, Trump says that he would have been honored to do so but was never a fan of that war, since “no one had ever heard of” the country before. Apparently, Vietnam just wasn’t popular enough for the man who once said that avoiding STDs in the 1960s was his “personal Vietnam.” ‘When asked if he would have joined the war effort if not for the bone spurs, Mr. Trump said, “I would not have minded that at all; I would have been honored.” ‘“I think I make up for it now,” he added.’ . asks him, would you have liked to have served in the military, generally?

And talks about military spending budget. — Ali Rogin (@AliRogin) Of course, he couldn’t leave without gaslighting the country one more time, saying that the photos and videos of massive numbers of protesters in Trafalgar Square are “fake news” and that bigger crowds showed up to support him. Protesters in England who were present at the protest fully disagree and have evidence to prove Trump is lying, but Trump’s supporters are blinded enough to buy it. ‘Mr. Trump, who is often unsettled by reports of protests, sought to play down the demonstrations, in a news conference with Mrs. May on Tuesday and that there were actually “big crowds” supporting him.’ In an interview with Piers Morgan, President Trump suggested that transgender people were signing up for military service as a way to have surgical costs covered — The New York Times (@nytimes) Trump also answered questions on climate change and was fascinated that a wealthy, older person would be unselfish enough to consider its impact on “future generations” instead of “doing this for him.” It’s a novel approach for Trump, who then proceeded to make clear that he has no idea what he’s talking about, anyway. ‘In the interview, Mr. Trump seemed impressed that the prince was concerned about the fate of future generations. “I’ll tell you what moved me is his passion for future generations; he’s really not doing this for him,” he told Mr. Morgan. “He’s doing this for future generations.” ‘But Mr. Trump said he had dismissed the suggestion that the United States should do more. “I did say,” he said, “ ‘Well, the United States right now has among the cleanest climates there are based on all statistics.’ And it’s even getting better.”’ For video of the full interview, see below: Featured image screenshot via No related posts.

They hid tens of thousands of London protesters from him, too: ‘I kept hearing that there would be “massive” rallies against me in the UK, but it was quite the opposite. The big crowds, which the Corrupt Media hates to show, were those that gathered in support of the USA and me. They were big & enthusiastic as opposed to the organized flops!’ POTUS wanted to attack the media and jail his former opponent Hillary Clinton and others on his enemies list using his Department of Justice, but it has not worked in the past: ‘Plagiarism charge against Sleepy Joe Biden on his ridiculous Climate Change Plan is a big problem, but the Corrupt Media will save him.

Twenty of his supporters were trapped in a pub after incidents with anti-Trump protesters, according to During the commander-in-chief’s first trip to London, a quarter of a million protesters marched in London. According to a protest organized by the Stop Trump Coalition, about 40,000 people demonstrated against the U.S. president on this visit, despite a light rain. The U.K. scheduled 10,000 police officers to man the streets for Trump’s visit. The cost ran to about $30 million U.S. dollars. London Metropolitan Police released a statement informing the protesters to stay away from Downing Street. Trump and British Prime Minister Theresa May held a joint press conference there. The protesters were in colorful clothing and holding balloons with an orange baby on them. They met in Trafalgar Square carrying signs that read “I am awfully British, you’re just awful” and “Trump for prison.” The ones who organized the Trump Baby blimp wrote in The Independent that the balloon “sends a clear, orange, message.” The message was 45 was not welcome in Great Britain.

He refused to attend a dinner in honor of Donald Trump held by Queen Elizabeth II. The Green Party’s leader Caroline Lucas spoke to the crowd, too. She said that the reason the American president was not worthy of respect was that he said climate change was a hoax: ‘This is a man who is not worthy of our respect. He thinks climate change is a hoax. We will resist his efforts to take a wrecking ball to the climate change agreement.’ No related posts. " unreliable,"Hundreds Of Thousands Protest Donald Trump In U.K. Streets (VIDEO) Donald Trump does not read. That is common knowledge. He clearly stumbled over the speech he gave at his joint press conference with Prime Minister Theresa May. It was embarrassing to see that he clearly had not even bothered to read it through once in preparation. Plus, it soon becomes apparent that our president cannot even handle simple math. The Brits look as if they might dislike Donald Trump even more than the Americans. Protesters poured into Trafalgar Square in anticipated hundreds of thousands. For some reason, POTUS did not see them as he flew in his helicopter from event to event. Instead, he saw a large imaginary crowd waving the American flag: ‘Trump: I haven’t seen the protests. Also: Thousands of Protesters march the Streets Of London.’ Trump: I Havent seen protests Also: Thousands of Protesters march the Streets Of London — ? Koko ✊✊?✊??

He said that these protests “aren’t just about Trump, they’re about everything he stands for.’ ‘These protests won’t simply be about Trump and the perverse reality TV show he’s treated the world to. The protests will be about Trumpism: about confronting a resurgent global far right, defending the rights of women and minorities, fighting the climate emergency, opposing the threat of war, and standing against an attempt to gut the NHS and trash hard-won rights and freedoms.’ Shadow government Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn refused to come to a dinner in honor of Trump.

Protesters have lined the streets in thousands and fly the Trump Baby balloon. This year, there was something extra added: a robotic Trump sitting on a toilet tweeting away on his smart phone. There is more. U.K. Shadow Foreign Secretary Emily Thornberry spoke to  BBC’s Today radio program about Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn’s boycotting the American president during his state visit, which is an invitation that came from Queen Elizabeth II. Instead, Corbyn scheduled an address to an anti-Trump rally. Then, there was Thornberry calling POTUS a “sexual predator (and) a racist (and) it’s right to say that,”  reported: ‘A state visit is an honor, and we don’t think that this president deserves an honor. He is a sexual predator, he is a racist, and it’s right to say that. And I think we need to think about when is it that our country got so scared. Why can’t we start saying things as they are?’ This Shadow Cabinet minister said that Britain needed to confront Trump. He admires strength: ‘We’ve seen the way in which this current British government have tried to deal with Donald Trump, by fawning all over him, holding his hand, and what respect have we got as a result of it? It’s like the way you deal with a bully. If you bow down in front of them, you get kicked harder.’ Thornberry responded to a question about why Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn would not attend the Trump events. The Labour chief met with Chinese President Xi Jinping: ‘The reason I think that I personally am so angry at this particular American president, and I admit that I am, is that I love America and I love the values America has stood for … When you have a close friend and they’re going wrong, you are more likely to be more adamant with them, clearer with them, than with someone who has not been as close a friend and you are trying to build a relationship with them.’ Corbyn was scheduled to attend a mass demonstration against Trump and to give a speech. He has been a long-time critic of 45. Hundreds of thousands of protesters were projected to gather in central London. A Labour Party official said,  reported: ‘(Corbyn) will attend and speak at the demonstration tomorrow against President Donald Trump’s state visit.’ Last April Corbyn said: ‘Theresa May should not be rolling out the red carpet for a state visit to honour a President who rips up vital international treaties, backs climate change denial and uses racist and misogynist rhetoric. Maintaining an important relationship with the United States does not require the pomp and ceremony of a State Visit. It is disappointing that the Prime Minister has again opted to kowtow to this U.S. administration.’ No related posts.

After all, they came up with the huge crying baby Trump balloon, that follows him all around during his world travels. This year, a British teenager came up with another creative welcome to the U.S. president. Trump has been unabashedly anti-climate change, whereas Prince Charles has been a strong advocate to prevent global warming. Perhaps, the two will not discuss this at the white-ties and tierras dinner. The American president has said to look on the bright side.

POTUS rejects science’s experts’ conclusions that climate change is real and accelerating at a rapid speed. He has even ordered the terms “climate change'” struck out of the White House documents and his administration’s reports. Trump withdrew from the Paris Agreement on Climate Change in 2017. That made the U.S. the only country to not sign it. After Trump was elected in 2016, he introduced his “America First Energy Plan,” which he immediately set to work to implement it.

" unreliable,"Trump Gets Publicly Shamed In England & It Was Fantastic (IMAGE) During Donald Trump’s first visit to the UK as U.S. president, he complained that massive crowds of protesters and a floating balloon depicting him as a baby with a cell phone made him feel “unwelcome.” An op-ed written by London Mayor Sadiq Khan ahead of Trump’s second visit doesn’t appear to be an attempt to make him feel any more welcome this time. It’s un-British to roll out the red carpet for Donald Trump — The Guardian (@guardian) Khan wrote an op-ed for The Guardian , which will be published in time to hit the Sunday morning newsstands, criticizing the plan to “roll out the red carpet” for Trump. Despite the fact that the U.S. is one of Great Britain’s closest allies, Khan says that Trump has moved his country too far to the extreme right to be seen as anything other than a modern fascist. ‘Praising the “very fine people on both sides” when torch-wielding white supremacists and antisemites marched through the streets clashing with anti-racist campaigners. Threatening to veto a ban on the use of rape as a weapon of war. Setting an immigration policy that forcefully separates young children from their parents at the border. The deliberate use of xenophobia, racism and “otherness” as an electoral tactic. Introducing a travel ban to a number of predominately Muslim countries. Lying deliberately and repeatedly to the public.’ ‘No, these are not the actions of European dictators of the 1930s and 40s. Nor the military juntas of the 1970s and 80s. I’m not talking about Vladimir Putin or Kim Jong-un. These are the actions of the leader of our closest ally, the president of the United States of America. This is a man who tried to exploit Londoners’ fears following , amplified the tweets of a British far-right racist group, denounced as fake news robust scientific evidence warning of the dangers of climate change, and is now trying to interfere shamelessly in the Conservative party leadership race by backing Boris Johnson because he believes it would enable him to gain an ally in Number 10 for his divisive agenda.’ UK should not be ""rolling out the red carpet"" for Donald Trump, says London mayor Sadiq Khan — BBC Politics (@BBCPolitics) The London mayor and the U.S. president have clashed publicly before. After a terrorist attack in London, Khan did his job of trying to keep citizens calm by assuring them that the situation was under control. Trump contradicted him on Twitter, stirring up xenophobic fears in an effort to inflame British division. In addition to being a Twitter bully and a fearmonger, Khan said that Trump is using the rhetoric of “facists of the 20th century” and should be treated now no better than any of them should have been treated then. ‘Donald Trump is just one of the most egregious examples of a growing global threat. is on the rise around the world, threatening our hard-won rights and freedoms and the values that have defined our liberal, democratic societies for more than seventy years. Viktor Orbán in Hungary, Matteo Salvini in Italy, Marine Le Pen in France and Nigel Farage here in the UK are using the same divisive tropes of the fascists of the 20th century to garner support, but are using new sinister methods to deliver their message. And they are gaining ground and winning power and influence in places that would have been unthinkable just a few years ago.’ London mayor Sadiq Khan has granted permission for a Donald Trump baby blimp to fly over the capital during Trump's state visit. — Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) Although Conservatives in the British government are calling for tolerance and unity during Trump’s visit, Khan called out the hypocrisy of tolerating intolerance and unifying around a divisive leader. It’s an op-ed sure to draw a response from the thin-skinned Trump. ‘That’s why it’s so un-British to be rolling out the red carpet this week for a formal state visit for a president whose divisive behaviour flies in the face of the ideals America was founded upon – equality, liberty and religious freedom. ‘There are some who argue that we should hold our noses and stomach the spectacle of honouring Trump in this fashion – including many Conservative politicians. They say we need to be realists and stroke his ego to maintain our economic and military relationship with the US. But at what point should we stop appeasing – and implicitly condoning – his far-right policies and views?

" unreliable,"Baseball Team Loses 2nd Huge Corporate Sponsor Over Attack On AOC The United States is continuing to deal with surges of anti-progressive sentiment like that which popped up when during a Memorial Day event for the Fresno Grizzlies when a video aired equating Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) with “enemies of freedom” like the late Cuban dictator Fidel Castro and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un. That team has now lost another corporate sponsor in the wake of that debacle with from the alcohol giant Heineken that they would no longer be involved with the team. Both their Dos Equis and Tecate brands had been sponsors. ‘We do not support those views expressed in the video, that was aired during the Fresno Grizzlies game on Memorial Day. For that reason, we have ended this relationship, effective immediately and have let the team know of our decision.’ Their announcement follows a similar one from Sun-Maid raisins, which has local ties and acknowledged in their statement on the matter that the team had “unconditionally” apologized for the video but still pulled their sponsorship all the same. Remaining sponsors include Save Mart stores, the agriculture company GAR Tootelian, and  The Fresno Bee , which has declined to finalize the future of its relationship with the team as of late this past week. The video in question featured a photo montage featuring Ocasio-Cortez, Castro, and others during audio of a speech from former President Ronald Reagan in which he decried “enemies of freedom.” The team insists that the airing was an honest mistake because they downloaded the incorrect Memorial Day tribute and no one in their front office apparently watched the one they actually got in in its entirety before they blasted it out to their stadium. The Grizzlies’ parent team the Washington Nationals, which competes as part of Major League Baseball, backed up the team’s explanation, sharing: ‘Based on their investigation, it is clear to us that this was an honest mistake by a long-time employee and was not politically motivated. They have put processes in place to ensure it does not happen again and we are comfortable with those procedures.’ There’s not too much available in the way of specifics covering what those procedures actually are, and the team has similarly declined to identify the employee responsible beyond suggesting they had some kind of seniority in the organization. They’ve shared that the person responsible for the anti-Ocasio-Cortez video was reprimanded, but they again declined to provide specifics beyond that. The Congresswoman herself has declined to explicitly lambast the Grizzlies in public commentary, instead taking the opportunity to discuss the situation surrounding those who do have explicit bias against her and take their hatred to the point of issuing death threats. Public displays of opposition to her and her agenda often spark spikes in these threats, she shared, including the incessant whining that Fox News hosts do about her. Ocasio-Cortez continues to attract scrutiny through her “radical” ideas like enacting environmental justice in the United States and slashing greenhouse gas emissions in the face of rising climate change threats.

Withdraw from the Iran nuclear treaty — check. Withdraw from the Paris climate change agreement — check. Antagonize all of the U.S.’s allies — check, but with one exception. POTUS headed over to Japan to be petted and pampered by Prime Minister Shinzō Abe. They treated him like a king, so Trump was very happy: ‘Tonight in Tokyo, Japan at the Ryōgoku Kokugikan Stadium, it was my great honor to present the first-ever U.S. President’s Cup to Sumo GrandC hampion Asanoyama. Congratulations! A great time had by all, thank you @ AbeShinzo!!

It is where they want to be, & where they should be. Have a wonderful time today. Thank you to our great men & women of the Pentagon for working it out!’ Japan’s Prime Minister Abe’s invitation was to emphasize the two men’s warm relationships and expand their trade and security interests. However, Trump still sees Japan as a rival based upon the country’s economic rise in the 1980s. Of course, POTUS was still worried about Japan’s $68 billion trade deficit, according to Trump ignored Abe’s asks to take the steel and aluminum tariffs off of Japan. Instead, the U.S. president threatened additional tariffs should they not be able to work out a new bilateral trade agreement within the next six months. The U.S. president started off dinner consisting of his very special food requests talking about what the two leaders discussed, “trade and military and various other things.” His food came on a long wooden paddle. It was not clear whether this was a Japanese custom or due to POTUS’ severe fear of germs: “The prime minister and I talked lot today about trade and military and various other things.

The most innovative states bring in new businesses and provide an economically healthier state with an improved quality of life. They offer dramatic bills to improve the internet, halt climate change, and become more energy-efficient. Now, one state is encouraging companies from abortion unfriendly states to move. If a company in the film and television industry has been located in a state that has strict abortion bans, California has just introduced a bill that provides ooutstanding tax breaks to woo them back to Hollywood and other locations. These states would could target Alabama and Georgia with their horrific anti-choice laws. The peach state has been offering healthy tax breaks for both film and television. As a result, they had 455 projects last year, according to . That included the profitable Marvel Studios’ Black Panther.  Last week Republican Alabama Governor Kay Ivey signed one of the most draconian abortion laws in the country. Cases of rape and incest are not excluded, only cases that risk the physical health and life of the woman. California Assemblywoman Luz Rivas (D) sponsored the proposed legislation: ‘There are actors and actresses that are refusing to be part of a production in one of those states. I think it really puts pressure on the industry to reconsider whether they want to do business in those states.’ Rivas represents a district located in Los Angeles County. She said: ‘We’re willing to expand (the program) to other states. But right now we’re highlighting those states with strict abortion bans.’ Alabama has become a film and television industry center. The state has broken its production record by competing close to 150 projects. The state has given some of those projects refundable tax credits of up to 35% on qualified expenses. Georgia has a similar program of tax breaks for productions. A full , including Marvel Studios’ Black Panther. ‘A lot of the entertainment industry has relocated to Georgia because that state was very competitive in their own state film tax credit. We’re trying to further incentivize the entertainment industry that currently is filming in states with these strict abortion bans to come and do business in California and share our values.’ Rivas’ legislation Assembly Bill 1442 adds to the incentives that California already offers the film and television industry. The existing legislation tripled the state’s film incentive program from “$100 million to $330 million annually.” These additional tax credits will begin in January 2020 for companies that choose to move away from anti-choice states. Rivas said: ‘(P)ending legislation or existing law that prohibits access to, criminalizes the provision of, or otherwise restricts a woman’s access to abortion services after 6 weeks from the beginning of the pregnancy or earlier.’ The California Film Commission lured 16 television series back the state that birthed Hollywood. These include Showtime’s Penny Dreadful . In March, the commission said it estimated spending $99 million, and it received conditional approval in almost $25 million for tax credits. Rivas said that the film industry creates almost $50 million in the state’s economy: ‘California is both a leader in women’s rights and the film industry’ The California state representative indicated that the details of the new incentives were still under construction, and that included the budget.

" unreliable,"Trump Continues Nonsense Rant About Cleaning Forest Floors In CA It’s not a surprise to anyone when Donald Trump makes uninformed and completely untruthful statements and then doubles down on them when fact-checked anymore. His ridiculous claims that California can prevent wildfires by “cleaning the floors” of the forest has now become “and three weeks later, they said I was right,” according to Trump in speech he gave in front of the Trump’s speech included long streams of vitriol toward “that young…guy” Gavin Newsome, the young governor of California. In addition to criticizing the now scaled-down version of the high-speed monorail system, Trump doubled down on his earlier forest fires criticism, saying that Newsome needed to rake the leaves and stuff to prevent them. Then he told the realtors that he had been proven right since he said that initially. He hasn’t. reports: ‘Trump…claimed improper “forest management” was the reason the blazes broke out in California in the fall — not, he added, because of climate change like Newsom has said. ‘“He blames it on global warming,” Trump said of the governor, who he described as “nice” and “young.” “I say, ‘Look, try cleaning the floor of the forest a little bit. So you don’t have four feet of leaves and broken trees that have sat there for 25 years.”‘ Trump standing in the ashes of the most deadly wildfire in California history, blaming the state for not ""taking care of the floors"" or some random nonsense, while adults stand around him trying hard not to blurt out 'WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU BABBLING ABOUT?' — Steve Silberman (@stevesilberman) According to The New York Times , President Sauli Niinisto of Finland confirms that he never told Trump that raking the forest floors was the secret to preventing disastrous wildfires. While he did say that he mentioned removing dead trees, he also said that Finland was largely unable to do that everywhere in their country and that a regular 60-degree climate contributes to the lack of massive wildfires, as well. However, their real secret is quite different from the one Trump described. ‘The secret to the Finns’ forest management system lies instead in its early warning system, aerial surveillance system and network of forest roads, said Professor Henrik Lindberg, a forest fires researcher at the Häme University of Applied Sciences, a college in southern Finland. ‘At times of high incendiary risk, the Finnish authorities are highly effective at delivering warnings across most forms of media, Mr. Lindberg said.’ Trump again says California needs to clean the forest floors Newsom 'blames it on global warming. I said, 'no, try cleaning the floor of the forest a little bit, so you don't have 4 feet of leaves and broken trees that sit there for 25 years' Loud cheers for that — Timothy Cama (@Timothy_Cama) It was also noted that the trees in Finland are quite different from those in California. In addition to snowy winters and wet autumns, Finland’s trees are far less likely to catch fire because of the type of trees that are native to the area. ‘Finnish forests are mainly filled with tall boreal trees — pine, spruce and birch — whereas much of Californian vegetation consists of lower-lying chaparral shrub land and small trees, which are more prone to catching fire.’ Billions of dollars are sent to the State of California for Forest fires that, with proper Forest Management, would never happen.

Trump (@realDonaldTrump) Trump’s latest champion is Sempra Energy, an electric company based in California which is indeed a wealthy corporation who have publicly expressed their concern about climate change (ironically, they still chose to meet with and pose for photos with a climate change denier) and their green initiatives to address those concerns. However, that same company has a shade and contradictory record. Critics note that their wealth results from their monopoly status and enormous rates, as the company charges their customers  t more than the national average, writes that: ‘Sempra promotes itself as an upstanding community participant with only the best intentions for its customers, but in conjunction with SDG&E, it charges exorbitant rates and fights tooth and nail behind the scenes to maintain its monopoly. It does so at the expense of electricity consumers. ‘By reviewing Sempra marketing material and comparing Sempra’s statements to its actions, a clear pattern of misdirection and exploitation emerges.’ Additionally, their green initiatives only sound good when they’re not compared to other electricity providers in the state. When profits are compared against funding allotted to these green initiatives, Sempra falls far behind. ‘Sempra’s flier claims that SDG&E is a leader in renewable energy by comparing it to the standard offerings from other California utilities. It conveniently ignores the fact that Community Choice programs offer 100 percent renewable energy for less than SDG&E’s standard rates. The claims made in Sempra’s flier would be like the San Diego Padres bragging that they are beating their least successful competitors while desperately trying to avoid comparisons with any successful Major League teams.’ Twitter was immediately suspicious of Trump’s praise for Sempra and did some research.  Read some of their comments below: Featured image via under a license No related posts.

" unreliable,"China Retaliates Against Trump's Monday Announcement & It's No Bueno Donald Trump has been touting his wonderful China tariffs idea. Since he implemented a 10 percent tariff, the soybean farmers have suffered tremendously. Then, POTUS raised tariffs to 25 percent. The Sunday morning talk shows condemned Trump for his economic carelessness. This is how the Chinese responded. Beijing, China announced that it decided to retaliate by increasing its tariffs to 25 percent from 10 percent starting on the first of June, according to the Chinese Finance Ministry. That will shake out to an increase of $60 billion on imported U.S. products, according to  . Even though the president forced the Chinese to retaliate, he fired off a series of early morning tweets saying that China’s tariffs would be: ‘(V)ery bad for China. China should not retaliate” as it ‘will only get worse!’ You had a great deal, almost completed, & you backed out!” he wrote of China and its President Xi Jinping.’ Trump’s tariffs were smaller than those the Chinese government imposed. His recent raise  impacted $200 billion on Chinese products. The two largest economies in the world have started playing a game of economic chicken. Investors have become extremely nervous. U.S. stock futures. dropped like a rock with economists saying that this trade war between the U.S. and China could threaten the global economy. The Washington Post reported: ‘China’s response, announced by its Ministry of Finance, said it targeted “U.S. unilateralism and trade protectionism.”’ The Post noted that China’s news “spooked financial markets:” ‘The rapid-fire succession of stark economic news spooked financial markets, with U.S. futures indicating drops of nearly 2 percent at the open for both the Dow Jones industrial average and the Standard & Poor’s 500 index. While many business executives and investors had hoped tensions between the U.S. and China would be resolved easily, the recent developments show how much each country is digging in for a long fight.’ Senior professor trade policy at Cornell University Eswar Prasad said: ‘Over the past week, hopes for at least a partial and temporary ceasefire between the two sides have given way to the prospect of a rapidly escalating and broadening economic conflict between the two countries.’ China’s tariffs targeted the U.S. agriculture sector. Soybean farmers have lost their largest buyer. With the rivers swollen in an ever-increasingly severe climate change, farmers watch as last year’s product rots on barges that cannot run. Plus, the farmers cannot get into the fields to plant this year’s crops. Yet, soybean farmers have not been the only ones hit by Trump’s crackpot China tariffs. The Chinese have also hit “peanuts, sugar, wheat, chicken, and turkey.” Not only that, the White House announced that China has pulled out from significant parts of a burgeoning trade agreement. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer held meetings with China’s economic negotiators last week. However, those talks broke down Friday. Mnuchin said that the talks were “constructive.” However, economists say that the president’s short-term thinking has created a serious problem in trade negotiations with China. Trump also has had his eye on China’s theft of “intellectual property theft, forced technology transfers, and trade deficits,” The Post reported. No related posts.

" unreliable,"Bernie Makes A Fool Of Trump For Windmill Cancer Flub Like A Pro The 2020 presidential race is continuing to heat up, and the contrast between each side’s offering couldn’t be much clearer. At a recent campaign stop in Iowa, Democratic presidential contender Sen. Bernie Sanders tore into President Donald Trump for his suggestion that wind turbines are somehow linked to cancer, taking the opportunity to drag the administration and Republican Party’s lax at best response to the rising threat of climate change. Discussing Trump’s utterly outlandish claim about the wind energy-cancer link, ‘Trump is a profound scientist, somebody who’s researched the issue for years and uniquely came up with the conclusion.’ At an April 2 fundraiser for the National Republican Congressional Committee, Trump had shared: ‘If you have a windmill anywhere near your house, congratulations, your house just went down 75 percent in value. And they say the noise causes cancer.’ It’s unclear how anyone with even a basic knowledge of how the relevant elements work could arrive at Trump’s conclusion. Noise doesn’t cause cancer, let alone the noise from wind turbines. It sounds like the president has been diving too far into the rabbit hole of conspiratorial websites like InfoWars again — although there is another explanation. Trump has a personal grievance against wind turbines, having unsuccessfully sued the Scottish government in an attempt to keep wind turbines from going up near a golf course he owns there. From that stepping off point, Trump entered a new world of nonsense with his claim that wind turbine noise causes cancer. Remarkably, White House communications staff refused to rebuff the president’s remark when pressed by reporters. All White House Director of Strategic Communications Mercedes Schlapp had was: ‘I don’t have an answer on that. I don’t have an answer on that. Yeah, I don’t have an — I really don’t have information on that right now… if I get a readout, I’m happy to update you on that.’ Of course, that’s not where the nonsense on this subject from the Trump White House ends. After a monumental report about the looming impacts of climate change emerged from his own administration, Trump told reporters he simply “didn’t believe” the findings, without, it goes without saying, offering any sort of tangible, follow-able lead as to why. He just refused the reality. Sanders offered to his recent Iowa audience: ‘As I’m sure you’re all aware, Trump and I have a few differences of opinion. But maybe the most profound difference is that Trump is maintaining the myth that climate change is a hoax.’ The history of Trump refusing to accept the reality of climate change goes back awhile at this point to the time when as a private citizen he tweeted that it was a hoax invented by the Chinese. More recently, when confronted with evidence of the shift, he offered the grade-school level defense of pointing to the possibility of the climate eventually changing back. In other words, there are few routes this guy apparently won’t take to avoiding the truth. Should a Democratic president make it to the White House come 2020, they’d have an opportunity to turn the Trump administration’s refusal to address climate change around dramatically. There’s the beginning of a roadmap for that in the form of the Green New Deal, which calls for net-zero carbon emissions from the United States within ten years.

" unreliable,"Multiple Republicans Defect To Vote With Pelosi & Rebuke Donald Trump One of the most egregious, pointless, and disturbing moments of Donald Trump’s presidency came when he announced that he would pull the United States out of the Paris Climate Accord, a non-binding agreement to reduce carbon emissions and slow the progress of climate change. Today the House passed H.R. 9, the Act. The U.S. has always led by example. That's why it's imperative that we rejoin the Paris Climate Accord. If we retreat, we are condemning future generations to a world filled with catastrophic and conflict. — Jerry McNerney (@RepMcNerney) A bill in the House of Representatives to reenter that agreement was passed on Thursday with a vote of . Three Republicans voted to remain in the accord and every Democrat voted in favor with the exception of seven members who abstained with a “no vote” entered. Be careful and try staying in your house. Large parts of the Country are suffering from tremendous amounts of snow and near record setting cold. Amazing how big this system is. Wouldn’t be bad to have a little of that good old fashioned Global Warming right now! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) However, the bill now moves to the U.S. Senate, where it will most likely not be put up for a vote thanks to the self-proclaimed “grim reaper” of progressive policies, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. It no longer matters that voters have begun to understand the of climate change or that a vast majority of American citizens support remaining in the Paris Accord. What the people want no longer dictates policy. Instead, big money donors from oil corporations have Republican support in the Senate, so the bill passed on Thursday will likely go nowhere. Three Republicans joined Democrats in voting for a bill that would stop President Trump from pulling out of the Paris Climate Accord — Roll Call (@rollcall) The Republican stance on the Paris Accord is publicly based on their warnings that it will kill jobs as if green energy jobs do not exist and cannot be expanded and as if the Paris Accord dictates what jobs are allowed and which aren’t. Saving the planet in this moment before it is too late, while natural disasters destroy lives and devastate communities, is simply not as important as speaking to Trump supporters who still believe that they are under greater threat from brown migrants than from climate change. America is already leading industrial countries in lowering carbon emissions without the Paris Climate Accord. Decimating our All-of-the-Above Energy Strategy will kill jobs and eliminate affordable energy for American families and businesses. — Rep.

" unreliable,"Celebrity Olympic Figure Skater Joins Joe Biden's Campaign With the formal addition of former Vice President Joe Biden to the field of Democratic presidential candidates heading into 2020, the race got its latest high-powered contender. The Biden campaign announced that it was bringing on former Olympic figure skater Michelle Kwan this Thursday as surrogate director alongside Biden’s formal announcement, attracting more eyes to the bid for the White House that was months in the making. He’s been dropping hints that he was headed to this point for some time. The question remains, of course, whether he can attract enough supporters to his side to overcome the crowded Democratic presidential primary field, which hosts 21 candidates following his jump in. Kwan explained why she’s on Biden’s side in an Instagram post, pointing to his proven track record on relevant issues for those concerned about the direction of the United States — and world, really — heading into 2020. She worked on voter outreach for the 2016 presidential campaign of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. As she put it: ‘Ultimately, I believe that the Vice President is the ideal candidate to unify our country with his experience, knowledge and track record of fighting for Americans… He has earned the respect of the international community and, through his leadership, he will strengthen our relationships with our allies and stand up to meet rising global challenges.’ Check it out:     A post shared by (@michellewkwan) on As evidence for her claims, Kwan pointed to things like Biden’s work with President Barack Obama to get the Affordable Care Act (ACA) passed when they were still on the job in the White House the first time. She also referenced him as having “championed marriage equality” and remaining “at the forefront of ensuring LGBTQ rights.” She added: ‘Most importantly, VP Biden has a reputation for getting things done.’ Pretty much all of that can easily contrast strikingly with the current administration in the White House. Donald Trump was literally laughed at while speaking to the United Nations General Assembly for the outlandish nature of a claim he offered that his administration had done the most of almost any in U.S. history. In reality, his track record is full of failures and antagonism. In the months-long legislative battle Trump and his allies waged to overturn the ACA — the Biden-backed law came out on top. Although they’ve sought to undercut the legislation providing health coverage to tens of millions of people through means like Medicaid expansion, it remains intact. All of this translates into a clear advantage for Biden should he make it out of the Democratic primary and face Trump in November 2020. A had him with an eight percent lead over the Republican incumbent, although there was a significant portion of voters who remained undecided and could thereby flip the race. Still, the numbers make it clear who’s starting out ahead. Trump responded to Biden entering the race with a Twitter post, suggesting that the former vice president has low intelligence. Apparently Trump wants us to forget not just things like his proud proclamation about the number of “hamberders” he fed a crowd but the question of how connected to reality he really is exemplified by his never-ending stream of thousands and thousands of lies.

" unreliable,"Obama Responds To Biden's 2020 Bid & Trump Literally Can't Stand It Former vice president Joe Biden finally announced his candidacy for president in the 2020 election. “Uncle Joe,” as he is informally known to the public, is renowned for his character, his fighting attitude, and his empath. He will give Donald Trump a strong run for his money. Then, why did President Barack not endorse his former VP? The longtime progressive has been known for his ideas of equality and even climate change. He considers this a time of reckoning as the country fights for its moral democracy. The real reason that Biden did not get 44’s endorsement was a surprise: he asked Obama to not recommend him. Spokesperson for Obama Katie Hill commented, POLITICO reported: ‘President Obama has long said that selecting Joe Biden as his running mate in 2008 was one of the best decisions he ever made. He relied on the Vice President’s knowledge, insight and judgment, throughout both campaigns and the entire presidency. The two forged a special bond over the last 10 years and remain close today.’ In 2016, Obama set a precedent of not endorsing any presidential candidate during the primary. This was a stunner given that his secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, was running. This decision could have been a wise decision and a path for the next president to follow. While 44 has been enthusiastic about the quickly expanding circle of Democratic candidates, he has remained primarily behind the scenes. A number of the candidates have met with Obama for advice and background support. After all, he ran a wildly successful race, and current candidates have much to learn from him. Twenty candidates have now put their hats in the ring of the most important race in recent history. Still, Biden has higher name recognition than all of the other candidates, and will undoubtedly take advantage of that edge over all the other contenders. The former VP has a long history of stability when the White House has been under the control of a man known for chaos and division. The comparison between the two men, who are both over 70-years-old, will be stark and far more favorable to Biden. That will be the former VP’s niche in the race. Conversely, Biden is clearly a white man at a time when many Democrats have been looking for someone different. This has been a dramatically diverse race with both women and minorities entering. A former top adviser to Obama insisted that the president had a tradition to uphold. Still, it was a somewhat weak excuse, noting that Obama believed that the primary competition would leave the strongest candidate standing: ‘The custom for former presidents is not to endorse presidents. The expectation that he would, I find kind of baffling.’ Even though Obama did not endorse Biden, the former vice president will be able to use his tight friendship and long relationship with 44 to pull ahead in the race. Still, Biden has been at the top of most polls for months. No related posts. " unreliable,"AOC Mocks GOP For Rescinding Coal Mine Invitation Due To Fear If Republicans hoped that an obsessive focus on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) would drive her from popularity, they’re continuing to be proven wrong. She has remained firm in her positions following angry blowback from Congressional Republicans against her “Green New Deal,” sharing her thoughts about their antagonism on Twitter. Rep. Andy Barr (R-Ky.) had invited Ocasio-Cortez to visit a coal mine in his district to get a firsthand glimpse of the community’s supposed dependence on the resource, but he withdrew his invitation after she criticized Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) for drumming up hate against Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.). As Ocasio-Cortez put it: ‘GOP thought they could catch us in a bluff. Now we’ve got ’em on their back foot stutter-stepping’ Barr had seemed to intend his invitation as a means to highlight Ocasio-Cortez’s supposed disconnect from average Americans, but that plan might have backfired when she said she was happy to take him up on his offer. As the Congresswoman put it: ‘GOP’s getting scared that up close, their constituents will realize I’m fighting harder for their health care than their own Reps.’ She noted at the time of Barr’s original invitation that the Green New Deal calls to support miners’ pensions in order to not leave them hanging; the point is not some kind of elitist takeover of Republicans’ dear-old ways of life, the point is to improve the qualities of lives of Americans in completely tangible ways. Mentioning examples of Americans suffering from climate-related issues from Flint, Michigan, the large town that has gone without clean water for a significant period of time and the South Bronx, where kids are “suffering from the highest rates of childhood asthma in the country,” ‘This is not an elitist issue. This is a quality-of-life issue. You want to tell people that their concern for clean air and clean water is elitist?’ Apparently that’s exactly what the GOP wants to do. Kentucky Republican Congressman James Comer whined on Twitter, addressing Ocasio-Cortez: ‘[M]y constituents know that your Socialist policies like and will not work.’ He did not cite any specific evidence for this claim, leading one to wonder if it’s like the one White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders offered that many FBI agents lost confidence in their former FBI Director James Comey that the Mueller report says was “not founded on anything.” Outside of Republican lies, progressives like Ocasio-Cortez are continuing to push for policies that actually are tied to reality, which you’d hope wouldn’t be the distinguishing point between the major political parties although lo and behold here we are. Her “Green New Deal” to address climate change has been introduced as a resolution in both chambers of Congress at this point, and “achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions through a fair and just transition for all communities and workers,” “create millions of good, high-wage jobs and ensure prosperity and economic security for all people of the United States,” and more. To top it all off — Ocasio-Cortez’s office says she’s still looking to go to Kentucky even thought Barr got cold feet. Spokeswoman Corbin Trent ‘Luckily, we still have open borders with Kentucky, we are free to travel there. We hope to visit and have a town hall, listen to concerns of workers in Kentucky.’ Check out Twitter’s response… Featured Image via screenshot No related posts. " unreliable,"Trump Freaks Out On Twitter Over Bernie's 'Fox News' Appearance Donald Trump has a narrow view of the world that was set in concrete about 30 years ago, when he was still older than 2020 presidential candidate Mayor Pete Buttigieg (D-IN). There is nothing new about the older man’s racism against people of color and Muslims. Trump decided climate change was a hoax decades ago. Plus, he decided that if someone hit him, he would hit them back 10 times harder when he was just a child. When Fox News changed out its programming, POTUS was puzzled. We do not often see the president puzzled. He knows that he likes fast food hamburgers and long red ties. The commander-in-chief idolizes cruel dictators, and he will do anything, anything to win. When 2020 presidential candidate Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) appeared on Fox’s Bret Baier’s townhall, Trump went a little crazy. He tweeted: ‘So weird to watch Crazy Bernie on @ FoxNews. Not surprisingly, @ BretBaier and the “audience” was so smiley and nice. Very strange, and now we have @ donnabrazile?’ Clearly, the man who occasionally sits in the Oval Office does not know what to do with Bernie Sanders on the network he watches up to eight hours a day, during his executive time. The president was stunned but for a few moments, shook his head to block out the image, and remembered the Mueller report, which has been set to release Thursday. Trump tweeted: ‘No Collusion – No Obstruction!’ Advertising people tell us that something must be heard or seen six times for it to be remembered. Trump has tweeted “No Collusion – No Obstruction!” so many times, that it has become an old conservative refrain. Soon, the world will know whether it is true. Twitter world went crazy.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) continues to establish herself as squarely on the side of the forward-pushing “moderates” among Congressional Democrats, going to even more blunt lengths to dismiss allegations of dissent during an interview that aired on 60 Minutes this Sunday. She referred to the “progressive” wing led by figures like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (d-N.Y.) as “like five people,” adding to host Lesley Stahl: ‘By and large, whatever orientation they came to Congress with, they know that we have to hold the center, that we have to go down the mainstream.’ They do? Trump certainly didn’t rise to power via some kind of commitment to formal party unity. He rose to power via trampling the institutions of the Republican Party and leaving some of the rotten core out in the open for everyone to see and for him and his camp to capitalize on. At least, that’s one way to view the situation. Can the Speaker of the House unify the Democratic party while getting pushback from the left and self-described democratic socialists like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? — 60 Minutes (@60Minutes) Even still, Pelosi has dismissed pushes from interests like Ocasio-Cortez before in an apparent effort to focus the party on legislative accomplishment. In an interview USA Today released not too long ago, ‘While there are people who have a large number of Twitter followers, what’s important is that we have large numbers of votes on the floor of the House.’ Making Pelosi’s implication pretty clear, Ocasio-Cortez has made waves with her social media usage, routinely going live on Instagram, for instance, where she’s answered questions and shone a light on the lives of first-term members of Congress that’s rare, to say the least. During a recent Instagram live broadcast, she her straightforward perspective: ‘[Truth] will always rise, and so long as I can go home every single day and look to myself in the mirror and say, ‘You did what you thought was right and you did not compromise people and their well being along the way,’ as long as I can sleep at night, that’s all I care about. And I can sleep at night knowing that I did everything I could for all people.’ She’s still facing plenty of criticism from inside and outside her party all the same. For instance, earlier in the year, Pelosi again went after her in a roundabout way, explaining her take on the “Green New Deal” to address climate change that the Congresswoman and others put forward: ‘It will be one of several or maybe many suggestions that we receive. The green dream, or whatever they call it, nobody knows what it is, but they’re for it, right?’ Over in the GOP camp, Fox News and Republicans at large seem endlessly paranoid about Ocasio-Cortez to the point of a whopping 3,181 times on Fox News and Fox Business for the six weeks ending April 7. of Fox News have found the network mentioning her more than most to all presidential candidates at times. In other words — she’s obviously onto something with her staunch support for policies like the Green New Deal and Medicare for all, among other points that Republicans have struggled with.

In Louisiana, for example, officials banned Citigroup and Bank of America from a bond sale in response to restrictive gun policies.’ Watch hold up our report, ""The Banks That Finance Private Prison Companies,"" as she asks Wells Fargo CEO Timothy Sloan, ""Mr. Sloan, why was the bank involved in the caging of children?"" — In the Public Interest (@PubInterest) Like any other corporation, public sentiment can make or break them. Rep. Ocasio-Cortez took on J.P. Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon on Wednesday, who has already bowed to some pressure and began changing the bank’s policies of backing private prisons. ‘Under pressure from activists and now House Democrats, JPMorgan earlier this month announced it plans to cut ties to prison companies, and Wells Fargo said it is doing the same. That prompted Ocasio-Cortez to take a victory lap on Twitter: “Huge update: JP Morgan & Wells Fargo have announced that they will no longer fund private prisons,” she on March 21. “How did this happen? Through organizing people & public pressure!”’ For the full exchange between Ocasio-Cortez and Dimon, see video below: Featured image screenshot via No related posts. " unreliable,"Trump Panders For The Black Vote On Twitter Like Debbie Desperado In the Trumpian equivalent of “I’m not racist, I have black friends,” the current president of the United States loves to retweet and promote the internet duo, Diamond and Silk. After all, they’re content to spread Trump’s talking points, praise him using his own lies, and embarrass themselves completely on Trump’s behalf. Thank you to two great people! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) On Saturday, Trump retweeted an old photo of himself with the two internet personalities and thanked them for their support. There were hundreds of thousands of tweets of the duo that were more recent since they went on Fox News Friday and claimed that climate change was just the result of the planet rotating too fast and insisted with absolutely no justification whatsoever that Democratic presidential hopeful Beto O’Rourke talks “like a slave owner.” Why did Trump not choose to retweet something more recent? Most likely, it’s because the duo is the perfect example of how idiotic Trump and his rabid fanbase really are, and that was on full display during their Friday interview on Fox News. Repeating a favorite line of Trump’s that he has “done more for the black community” than any president in history, the two justify that statement the same way Trump does, with jobs numbers and unemployment rates. The Associated Press shows that this claim is just another spun lie by Trump and his followers. Image via the During Obama’s time in office, black unemployment fell by 7.4 percent. Under Trump, it fell 1.2 percent before beginning to rise again. Using all other metrics, such as wage growth and home ownership for black Americans, there has been no change between the two administrations. Diamond and Silk are nothing more than a Trump’s supporters justification for their own racist ideologies. As long as two black women who are collecting checks by praising Trump say that the president isn’t racist, Trump supporters feel justified while ignoring the millions of black Americans who disagree. Twitter isn’t falling for the con job. Read some of their comments below: Featured image screenshot via No related posts.

" unreliable,"Ocasio-Cortez Responds To 'AOC Sucks' Trump Rally Chant In case you somehow hadn’t noticed — the Trump camp is fond of antagonism. This past week at a Trump rally in Michigan, the crowd erupted into a chant of “AOC Sucks!” targeting Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) after Donald Trump Jr. mocked her as incompetent while discussing her “Green New Deal” proposal to combat climate change. Ocasio-Cortez responded to the criticism this week, dismissing the episode as indicative of the president’s team’s long-running attachment to vilification of their opponents. As she explained it: ‘He doesn’t have another woman — Hillary Clinton or whoever else – to vilify anymore so they need to find another woman to kind of prop up and become a lightning rod.’ . : “[Trump] doesn’t have another woman — Hillary Clinton or whomever else — to vilify anymore, so they need to find another woman to kind of prop up and become a lightning rod.” — The Hill (@thehill) She’s certainly onto something — she has been mentioned more frequently on Fox News than any other Democrat so far this year, even as the United States prepares for the incoming 2020 presidential elections. They have torn into everything from the Green New Deal to her pronunciation of her name, which host Laura Ingraham mocked at one point for being too ethnic. Her Green New Deal, which has attracted the support of a number of Democratic Senators inside and outside of the presidential candidate field, calls for the United States to maintain net zero greenhouse gas emissions within some ten years, which while ambitious, lays out a clear path to addressing the looming climate change threat that President Donald Trump has said he simply doesn’t believe in. Trump is far from alone in dismissing the urgency of the issue. In recent days in a Senate floor speech, Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) brought out an outlandish argument, asserting that the solution to climate change is… wait for it… babies. To roughly summarize, he argued that people should have more children so that they can contribute to the discussion over tackling climate change issues. In other words, he wants those in the present to do nothing for a couple or few decades. Ocasio-Cortez quipped in response that: ‘If this guy can be Senator, you can do anything.’ Lee offered his remarks in the context of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell having rushed the Green New Deal to a floor vote without any opportunity for much prior deliberation in an effort to put Democrats “on the spot.” Most of them voted “present” in an effort to avoid squabbling with those in their party who had not had the opportunity to be convinced of the merits of the plan. President Donald Trump himself has derided the Green New Deal, falsely characterizing it — along with other Republicans — as targeting staples of the American economy like air travel and meat production. In reality, those Republican talking points were taken from an accidentally posted draft of suggestions for ways that the U.S. could actually achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions, but that hasn’t stopped the right from seriously running with the argument anyway. Trump has repeatedly shunned action on climate change, infamously even withdrawing the United States from the Paris climate accord, a measure laying out steps towards curtailing climate change signed by nearly every other country on earth.

" unreliable,"AOC Perfectly Shuts Down Heckler At Town Hall (VIDEO) As President Donald Trump and the Republicans continue to seek to demolish pillars of American civil society like the Affordable Care Act, figures like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) continue to work relentlessly to safeguard the vulnerable from threats like climate change. This week during a televised discussion on MSNBC about the issue, she briskly shut down a heckler who went after her fellow panelist, former Republican Congressman Bob Inglis, shouting an accusation that he was a “moron” because he pointed out possible lengthy committee review processes for the so-called “Green New Deal.” Before the discussion could continue after the heckler, the popular progressive Congresswoman interjected: ‘Hey, hey, hey — that’s unacceptable, and that’s the difference between me and Trump.’ It’s true — repeatedly, President Donald Trump and his closest allies have encouraged angry ranting as manifested through means like the infamous “Lock Her Up!” chants at Trump rallies. This past week, rally goers at a Trump event in Michigan turned their attention to Ocasio-Cortez herself, chanting “AOC Sucks!” after Donald Trump Jr. mocked her over the Green New Deal. It’s not as though Trump Jr. tried to shut it down. That’s just par for the course for the Trump team. She’s faced heckling targeting her in person, including at a recent education town hall she participated in where a man shouted down her efforts to explain why she believes more schools of higher education should be held to a more strenuous standards. She commented at the time: ‘My concern is that this right here, where we’re fighting each other, is exactly what happens under a scarcity mindset, because this should not be the fight. Figures like Trump Jr. and a whole host of Republicans have gone after her in the past, although President Donald Trump has mostly skipped around directly targeting her — perhaps conscious of how outmatched he is. Earlier this year, asked for his response to Ocasio-Cortez calling him a racist, he ‘Who cares?’ Through it all, the Congresswoman has maintained her push for progressive policy like the Green New Deal, which would see the United States hit net-zero carbon emissions within a decade — and which Trump has explicitly singled out for mockery. The proposal has attracted the support of key left-wing figures including a number of Senators who could be the next president, from Vermont’s Bernie Sanders to California’s Kamala Harris. The right has by and large stood against the proposal, arguing that it would endanger fundamental aspects of American life. Still, during her discussion about the issue this week on MSNBC, Ocasio-Cortez asserted of her position: ‘This is not a Tea Party of the left — this is a return to American representative democracy.’ NBC News’ own Heather McGhee added of the concepts: ‘In terms of the American people, they’re the centrist ideas because they’re about taking back our democracy and our economy.’ This past week, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) rushed the Green New Deal to a floor vote in an effort to put Democrats on the spot, and they responded by mostly voting “present” in protest of the absence of time for further negotiation.

" unreliable,"Caught On Tape: Oil Execs Laugh Over 'Unprecedented Access' To Trump It’s fun to laugh at Trump’s idiotic tweets on climate change, but no one should mistakenly think that the science hasn’t been explained to him. He knows that climate change is real and that humans are contributing to it, he just doesn’t care and he hopes his rabid fanbase is too stupid to know anything about science. So far, he’s been right. Story by with the Center for Investigative Reporting, a nonprofit news organization: Recording Reveals Oil Industry Execs Laughing at Trump Access — Greg Holman (@GregHolmanNL) Oil executives and their lobbyists know, too. In 2017, members of the Independent Petroleum Association of America gathered at the Ritz-Carlton in Southern California to laugh at the ignorance of those who voted for Trump and brag that they had been given “unprecedented access” to the president, as well as a voice on environmental policies. , who released an audio recording that caught oil executives on tape, reports that: ‘Just five months into the Trump era, the energy developers who make up the Independent Petroleum Association of America had already watched the new president order a sweeping overhaul of environmental regulations that were cutting into their bottom lines — rules concerning smog, fracking and endangered species protection.’ Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace: “The whole climate crisis is not only Fake News, it’s Fake Science. There is no climate crisis, there’s weather and climate all around the world, and in fact carbon dioxide is the main building block of all life.” Wow! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) David Bernhardt, a former lawyer for the Independent Petroleum Association of America, was appointed to the number two spot at the Department of the Interior. Shortly after, the organization’s political director, Dan Naatz, bragged at that meeting that Bernhardt’s appointment had allowed them direct access to the White House. ‘We know him very well, and we have direct access to him, have conversations with him about issues ranging from federal land access to endangered species, to a lot of issues.’ Be careful and try staying in your house. Large parts of the Country are suffering from tremendous amounts of snow and near record setting cold. Amazing how big this system is. Wouldn’t be bad to have a little of that good old fashioned Global Warming right now! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) Trump’s whole “drain the swamp” promise turned out to be nothing more than empty words, as so many of his other campaign promises did. Lobbyists and the billionaires they represent are still buying their way into government and policy decisions, just as Trump once bragged that he had done. ‘The recording gives a rare look behind the curtain of an influential oil industry lobbying group that spends more than $1 million per year to push its agenda in Congress and federal regulatory agencies. The previous eight years had been dispiriting for the industry: As IPAA vice president Jeff Eshelman told the group, it had seemed as though the Obama administration and environmental groups had put together “their target list of everything that they wanted done to shut down the oil and gas industry.” But now, the oil executives were almost giddy at the prospect of high-level executive branch access of the sort they hadn’t enjoyed since Dick Cheney, a fellow oilman, was vice president.’ Shortly after becoming Trump's acting chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney conveyed a blunt message to several Cabinet secretaries: their ""highest priority"" over the next year would be deregulation — Axios (@axios) The organization’s CEO, Barry Russell, boasted on tape about his relationship with then-EPA director Scott Pruitt. ‘It’s really a new thing for us. For example, next week I’m invited to the White House to talk about tax code. Last week we were talking to Secretary Pruitt, and in about two weeks we have a meeting with Secretary Zinke. So we have unprecedented access to people that are in these positions who are trying to help us, which is great.’ w/tax cuts and deregulation, WH insists Trump is delivering, and will sustain, the 3% economic growth Obama never achieved but govt data today show 2018 growth falling short at 2.9% Fed forecasts for next 3 yrs: 2.3% in 2019, 2% in 2020, 1.8% in 2021 — John Harwood (@JohnJHarwood) For the money that they spend, the lobbyists are rewarded handsomely. A million dollars per year buys them a menu from which to pick and choose what policies they’d like to influence. ‘At the meeting, the association’s leaders distributed a private “regulatory update” memothat detailed environmental laws and rules that it hoped to blunt or overturn. The group ultimately got its way on four of the five high-profile issues that topped its wish list.’ Featured image via under a license No related posts. " unreliable,"AOC Shreds 'Fox News' On Twitter For Mocking Her Name's Pronunciation Considering how often some interests on the right tear into Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), you’d think they were fans. This week, she tore right back into them after Fox News host Laura Ingraham and her guest Joe diGenova mocked her for her pronunciation of her own name, quipping that she does “the Latina thing” — whatever that’s supposed to entail. In response, Ocasio-Cortez explored just how afraid they seem of people who dare not be a member of the majority community. As she began: ‘If by ‘the Latina thing,’ she means I actually do the work instead of just talk about it, then yeah, I’m doing ‘the Latina thing.’ Unless of course she‘s talking about being multilingual, which we know isn’t a ‘Latina thing.’ It’s a ‘21st century’ thing.’ If by ‘the Latina thing,’ she means I actually do the work instead of just talk about it, then yeah, I’m doing ‘the Latina thing.’ Unless of course she‘s talking about being multilingual, which we know isn’t a ‘Latina thing.’ It’s a ‘21st century’ thing. — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) She added a mocking approximation of their stance: ‘“How dare they refuse to say their name in a wrong accent & not mangle their own family name so that I can feel more comfortable instead of look inside myself & examine why something as small as *a person’s name* makes me uncomfortable in the first place?? This is an outrage!”’ “How dare they refuse to say their name in a wrong accent & not mangle their own family name so that I can feel more comfortable instead of look inside myself & examine why something as small as *a person’s name* makes me uncomfortable in the first place?? This is an outrage!” — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) It’s true — it’s remarkable for Ocasio-Cortez’s pronunciation of her own name to have ever become a topic of discussion on Fox News in the first place. Ocasio-Cortez noted that they often get her name wrong, too, sticking to calling her “Cortez,” which is a glaringly Spanish — and in Trump and Republicans’ world, probably more suspicious name. Do they not have actual tangible issues to cover? Do they need a refresher on what’s really going on out there? Maybe. What’s sure is that Tuesday night on her show, after rambling without any apparent data to back her up about how the media had supposedly dumped the Trump team collusion with Russia story because there’s nothing there, Ingraham asked diGenova if he’d noticed if when she introduces herself, Ocasio-Cortez “puts on accents” like Obama did. He replied: ‘She does the Latina thing where she does her — “Anastasio Ocasio-Cortez.”‘ Her name is not Anastasio, and she doesn’t claim to be named that, even if it “sounds nice,” as Ingraham put it. In high-profile instances, those on the right have run into this kind of issue before. During the lead-up to the midterm elections, now-Democratic Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger ended her closing statement at a debate with an emphatic declaration of her name because during the aforementioned hour and a half, her then-opponent Republican Dave Brat had mentioned now-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi a full 21 times. That backdoor dehumanization tactic didn’t get Brat very far. At present, the right has good reason to be intimidated by Ocasio-Cortez. She has repeatedly leveraged her new position for the good of those seeking to shine a light on the inner workings of Washington through means ranging from getting former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen to explicitly and publicly accuse the president of fraud to the introduction of a “Green New Deal,” continuing to push the Democratic Party and U.S. at large towards addressing the threat of climate change. Talking about Ocasio-Cortez’s pronunciation of her own name isn’t going to erase any of that, although she’s certainly going to face future attacks along these lines, considering precedent. Even Donald Trump Jr. has joined in, mockingly saying that her policy proposals would culminate in Americans having to eat their dogs.

Without even trying to offer any evidence to back himself up, he claimed that Facebook, Google, and Twitter are out to get those on the right — but fear not, loyal Trumpkins, because the president asserts his side will “win” in this battle he made up. He ranted: ‘Facebook, Google and Twitter, not to mention the Corrupt Media, are sooo on the side of the Radical Left Democrats. But fear not, we will win anyway, just like we did before!’ Although in this particular circumstance he didn’t even try to offer any evidence for his accusation, there’s plenty of wider context for this quote. Republicans have routinely claimed without evidence that big tech companies have targeted them for silencing campaigns, interpreting routine glitches in the system as evidence of a broad conspiracy to take down the “little guy,” or something. In reality, they’ve just displayed their ineptitude with staples of modern technology. Just this week, that ineptitude went on display yet again when Republican Californian Congressman Devin Nunes sued Twitter for hundreds of millions of dollars because… to summarize… a “fake cow was mean to him on the internet.” He’s claiming that the tech company has some culpability in the maintenance of Twitter accounts with the usernames “Devin Nunes’ Mom” and “Devin Nunes’ Cow” that spent their time tweeting mockery of the often volatile, high-profile Congressman. His complaint asserted that the accounts constituted a “corruption of American Democracy and society by intentional falsehoods, fraud, and defamation” — which is RICH coming from him since he helped shut down the House intel panel’s investigation into Russian election meddling while the Republicans were in control. Besides that issue, it’s outlandish at best to suggest that obvious internet satire represents an existential threat to American democracy that should be handled by a defamation lawsuit. Still, that’s the hill Republicans are choosing to place their bets on. Trump, having previously tweeted about the lawsuit and himself having called for federal investigation of satirists before, no doubt had the issue in mind this Tuesday.

" unreliable,"Trump Jr. Tries To Insult Beto Like Dad & Gets Laughed Off Twitter You know that Donald Trump is having trouble coming up with criticisms when he starts making fun of a political opponent’s hand motions. However, that seems to be what the Trumps are going with as a criticism against Beto O’Rourke. To add to that, they’re also back to their tried-and-true strategy of taking things far out of context and hoping their supporters won’t actually read a full quote and know they’re lying. OMG. I couldn’t hear the stupidity through the hand motions, but for the record… NO those writing climate change proposals are not even a little bit like the heroes who stormed the beaches of Normandy. — Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) Beto O’Rourke, who announced his candidacy for the presidency on Thursday, does use his hands a lot when he talks. So, however, does Donald Trump. Junior also criticized O’Rourke’s comparison of soldiers in Normandy to those writing policy on climate change. That wasn’t at all what O’Rourke said. He compared climate change to Normandy as an existential threat. He talked about having the courage to fight for what’s right and to take on an enemy. He talked about dealing with a threat head-on without listening to critics. At no time did he say that writing climate change policy was the same as fighting in any war. This will happen a lot between now and 2020. There will be plenty of insults. Trump may make a nickname for O’Rourke like he has every other Dem he faces in 2020. It might be something like Crazy Hands Beto. It will be exactly like every other criticism he offers: it will always be something that describes Trump himself. Twitter was far from impressed with Junior’s attempt at a critique. Read some of their comments below: Featured image via under a license No related posts.

" unreliable,"Trump Humiliates Himself On Twitter Over 'Anti-Semitism' & 'Fake Science' Donald Trump has waved his magic Twitter wand. He turned it onto the ideal that Democrats are the party of acceptance. Poof. Then, he pointed his wand at the idea that scientific facts are real. Poof. Once POTUS was done sprinkling his wand’s delusion dust upon the masses, he looked to see if he had obliterated factual proof and turned people toward his fake reality. In his first early morning tweet, the man who occasionally sits in the Oval Office said that Democrats were “anti Israel (sic),” “anti-semitism,” and “they don’t care” about either group: ‘“Jewish people are leaving the Democratic Party. We saw a lot of anti Israel policies start under the Obama Administration, and it got worsts & worse. There is anti-Semitism in the Democratic Party. They don’t care about Israel or the Jewish people.” Elizabeth Pipko, Jexodus.’ Then, Trump tried to convince the public that Greenpeace said “the whole climate crisis is…fake science.” The problem with that quote was that Patrick Moore did not found Greenpeace, and it continued: ‘Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace: “The whole climate crisis is not only Fake News, it’s Fake Science. There is no climate crisis, there’s weather and climate all around the world, and in fact carbon dioxide is the main building block of all life.” @ foxandfriends Wow!’ Trump’s anti-reality attempts did not work, because Democrats firmly believe in reality. The problem with the president’s anti-reality attack on  was that Moore has mistakenly claimed he founded Greenpeace: ‘…often misrepresents himself in the media as an environmental “expert” or even an “environmentalist,” while offering anti-environmental opinions on a wide range of issues and taking a distinctly anti-environmental stance.’ Then, there was the issue that Moore represented Greenpeace: ‘Patrick Moore has been a paid spokesman for a variety of polluting industries for more than 30 years, including the timber, mining, chemical and the aquaculture industries…Mr. Moore has now worked for polluters for far longer than he ever worked for Greenpeace. Greenpeace opposes the use of nuclear energy because it is a dangerous and expensive distraction from real solutions to climate change.’ Twitter world caught fire.

" unreliable,"Dan Rather Just Went Viral On Twitter For Epic Trump Jab Longtime newsman and television anchor Dan Rather brings a calming presence to the country. In his tweet, Rather noted that Donald Trump had cheered the news of a second HIV patient being cured. Yet, the newsman was able to educate this president and the whole country in just a sentence or two — which is what makes Rather great. The first HIV patient was cured twelve years ago. What the two people had in common was that they both had cancer and received bone marrow transplants in hopes of curing the cancer. The donor had HIV resistant DNA in both cases. That opened up and entirely new arm of research. Rather tweeted that “Science isn’t a goal, it’s a process of knowledge:” ‘Many people including the president are cheering news of HIV cure in 2nd patient. You know what happened? SCIENCE. Science isn’t a goal, it’s a process of knowledge. And it applies to vaccines, climate change, and the wonder of understanding our universe and natural world.’ The blog AIDS United posted an article talking about the terrible cuts to AIDS research under this administration. Just last December, Trump’s people cut research funding once again due to the influence from the GOP’s far right: Trump cut the funding for HIV cure research, because GOP members resisted stem cell research, according to ‘Last week, the Trump administration enacted yet another cut to HIV/AIDS funding, this time targeting research: the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the  Washington Post  reported, would no longer financially support a research lab in California working to move us closer to an HIV cure or vaccine. Anti-choice proponents, who are enjoying more influence than in recent years because of allies in Congress and the White House, sought to end this and other NIH contracts because of their concerns about the use of fetal tissue, collected from elective abortions, in the research.’ Then, the article went on to explain how that research worked: ‘The lab at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) has produced prominent research in the history of the HIV epidemic: as the Post writes, “Almost every drug for treating or preventing HIV infection has been tested at the UCSF laboratory and an affiliate.” The researchers do so by using fetal tissue of a thymus gland – which produces T cells that protect against HIV replicating in the body – to grow the same gland inside mice to test various chemical compounds that later become HIV prevention or management drugs.’ Advocates for AIDS/HIV urged “federal agency heads and lawmakers to reconsider:” ‘Anti-choice advocates have successfully encouraged federal agency heads and lawmakers to reconsider the well established research practice of using fetal tissue; the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced in September that it would review all such contracts, and the UCSF lab is not the first affected by these policy shifts. A smaller contract with a nonprofit called Advanced Bioscience Resources was ended earlier this year due to their work with fetal tissue. While HHS contends that no final decisions have been made writ large about the use of fetal tissue in federally funded research, the abrupt ending of these contracts – particularly the multimillion dollar one with the UCSF lab – worries health and science advocates, despite HHS Assistant Secretary for Health Brett Giroir’s assertion that Trump’s is a “pro-life, pro-science administration.” Twitter world was thrilled.

" unreliable,"AOC Puts 'Moderate' Dems On The Spot Like A National Hero It’s a brave politician who is willing to criticize their own party. The refusal to do so at all costs, as Republicans have proven since the election of Donald Trump, creates sycophants ruled by a dictatorial leader. Criticism is healthy in a political landscape in which the majority of Americans say they want one thing more than any other: change. Polls show that she’s correct. 69 percent of Americans do not want a . 65 percent of Americans want tougher laws. 71 percent of Democratic voters see immigration reform 70 percent want Medicare for all and two-thirds back . Why are so many Democratic lawmakers willing to vote against their constituents’ wishes? Historically, Democrats winning over red states have been forced to compromise on issues for which there should be no compromise. Demonizing immigrants and using a government entity formed to guard national security to throw them and their children into detention centers should not be a compromise. Leaving millions of Americans without adequate healthcare coverage to appease a right-wing crowd wins Democrats no support and harms the people they were elected to represent. Ocasio-Cortez has been harshly criticized by the right as too radical, but she also speaks with the voice of the left’s biggest voting base: millennials. Climate change and a living wage are critical issues for them, not undocumented immigrants or welfare reform.

BREAKING: The Senate has voted down Senator Sasse's extremist, anti-science bill that attempted to inflict medically unnecessary restrictions on clinics, spread dangerous anti-choice lies, and threaten healthcare providers with jail time. — NARAL (@NARAL) The legislation was written by Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) and needed 60 votes to pass. It was shot down by most Democrats as well as several Republican Senators. Democrats Doug Jones (AL), Joe Manchin (WV), and Bob Casey, Jr. (PA) voted to advance the bill, but the vote fell short at 53-44. RELEASE: The Senate will vote today on Sen. Sasse's bill vilifying abortion later in pregnancy and abortion providers as well as interfering with the patient-provider relationship. Read our statement from PRH Board Member : — PRH (@prhdocs) The bill would have punished doctors who are found to have failed to properly treat babies who survive third-trimester abortions. While Sasse and other Republicans insisted that the bill was solely meant to protect newborn babies, critics of the bill said that supporters in the Senate had so misrepresented facts that they could not support it. Most found it to be a solution without a problem. Sasse said on the Senate floor Monday. “It is too blunt for many people in this body, but frankly, that is what we’re talking about here today. . . . — Tim W. Poor (@twp459) The Washington Post reports that: ‘Opponents of the bill argued that it represented an unjustified attack on abortion rights, preventing doctors from exercising their best medical judgment and exposing them to possible lawsuits or prosecution.’ Sen. Tim Kaine added his reasons for voting against the bill. ‘Congress reaffirmed that fact with its passage of the bipartisan Born-Alive Infants Protection Act in 2002. I support that law, which is still in effect. There is no need for additional federal legislation on this topic.’ McConnell filed cloture to proceed to late-term abortion bill by Sasse setting up procedural vote on Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act (S. 311) when Senate returns from its weeklong President's Day break. — Craig Caplan (@CraigCaplan) Featured image via under a license No related posts. " unreliable,"Trump Makes Stupid 2020 Pronouncement On Twitter & Gets Clowned President Donald Trump seems very worried about the 2020 elections. As the possible end of his time in the White House gets ever-closer, he unveiled a new talking point on Twitter this weekend — the claim that the right has far more “energy” than the left, whatever on earth he means by that. He ranted: ‘There is far more ENERGY on the Right than there is on the Left. That’s why we just won the Senate and why we will win big in 2020. The Fake News just doesn’t want to report the facts. Border Security is a big factor. The under construction Wall will stop Gangs, Drugs and Crime!’ To be clear — the Republicans didn’t “win” the Senate so much as they simply held onto their already in-place majority because the seats up for grabs during the most recent elections covered some strongly Republican-leaning areas. Even with the right-leaning map in place, Democrats scored a significant pick-up via Arizona electing Kyrsten Sinema to the U.S. Senate, its first Democratic Senator in decades. Democrats won a resounding majority in the House in those same elections, picking up some 40 seats and thereby undoing the Republican majority. In the time since, they’ve established their priorities list as including ethics legislation, addressing climate change, and oversight and investigation of the Trump team where appropriate. In other words, the president’s only presented concrete evidence for his claim that the right has more energy than the left doesn’t support that notion at all. He claims that the “under construction” southern border wall blocking off Mexico will do wonders for Republican enthusiasm, and while it is true that many Republicans support the wall, it’s not currently under construction at anywhere near the level Trump has claimed — there are simply renovations of already in-place border barriers underway. Overall, only 39 percent or so of voters support Trump’s push for that wall via a national emergency declaration he recently announced to try and use executive power to get the wall constructed. 51 percent of voters actively oppose the measure, according to recent POLITICO /Morning Consult In other words, Trump needs new lines if he wants to be re-elected.

" unreliable,"Republicans Revolt Over Trump's National Emergency Even the completely normal act of signing an executive order had Republicans’ hair on fire from 2008 to 2016 when President Obama did it. Now, they’ll have to face off with their own president taking extreme measures to circumvent Congress. President Trump is wielding extraordinary power to get his way in declaring a national emergency. Here are key takeaways from his decision. — The New York Times (@nytimes) Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell warned Trump well before he made the decision to declare a national emergency over his racist vanity wall that he wasn’t sure he could get Republican senators to back him. McConnell reportedly has resigned himself to the thought that he’ll have to back the declaration since it was the only way to get Trump to sign the spending bill that would keep the government open. Other Republicans, however, are not resigned. According to The New York Times : ‘On Friday, President Trump mounted   to congressional authority in decades, circumventing Congress with  . It would allow him to unilaterally divert billions of dollars to a border wall and presented his Republican allies on Capitol Hill, who labored on a legislative compromise, with the excruciating choice of either defending their institution or bowing to his whims.’ BREAKING: We’re suing President Trump over today’s blatantly illegal declaration of a national emergency. There is no emergency. This is an unconstitutional power grab that hurts American communities. We’ll see him in court. — ACLU (@ACLU) Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) has spoken out directly about her opposition to Trump’s move, and several other senators are joining her. While Republicans in the House may see standing behind Trump as the best option for reelection, many GOP members of the Senate do not feel the same. ‘The Republican resistance to Mr. Trump’s emergency declaration was much more pronounced in the Senate than in the House, where a few Republicans — in the minority but more closely aligned to Mr. Trump — groused. But most of the conservative rank and file embraced it.’ Here’s one impact of all flipping the House: the Senate will have to vote on a bill that comes out of the House to overturn the national emergency declaration. Every GOP member of Congress will have to go on record. This is the 1st step towards accountability. — Joyce Alene (@JoyceWhiteVance) McConnell’s hypocrisy already knew no bounds considering his sudden talk about “unity” and “unnecessary division,” since no one has forgotten the name Merrick Garland. This bit of hypocrisy, however, may have dual consequences. First, it’s likely to have an impact in 2020 when Trump and other Republicans have to hold onto to their congressional seats. Second, a Democratic president may be able to cite this incident as justification for declaring a national emergency over healthcare or climate change. ‘The decision left Mr. McConnell,   of the Senate’s prerogatives and power, joining with Mr. Trump in supporting an executive branch end run greater than any of the incursions into the legislative process he often accused President Obama of pursuing. Fellow senators said Mr. McConnell, a former member of the Appropriations Committee, was unhappy with the declaration but saw it as the only way to pass the spending bill.’ . & I call upon our Republican colleagues to join us to defend the Constitution. Read our full join statement here: — Nancy Pelosi (@SpeakerPelosi) While the opposition from the GOP is not at a fever pitch just yet, the fight is far from over. Trump is already being sued by several groups over the declaration, and the matter could be tied up in court for some time, leaving plenty of time for other GOP congressional leaders to join the resistance to Trump’s dictatorial act. ‘Four Republicans might be enough to join with Senate Democrats and pass legislation rebuking the president, and leadership aides put the number of potential defectors as high as 10. But the unrest seemed well short of the sort of partywide revolt necessary to override a veto by Mr. Trump of any legislative attempt to prevent his declaration of an emergency, leaving a legal challenge as the only recourse.’ Featured image via under a license No related posts. " unreliable,"Ocasio-Cortez Owns Twitter Troll Like There's No Tomorrow & It's Funny Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) continues to face relentless challenges to her legitimacy concurrent to the high profile she’s established for herself as the youngest woman to ever assume a Congressional seat. This week, she shot down allegations that she’d become a part of the “swamp” and put her boyfriend on her staff, after apparent Republican activist Luke Thompson suggested as much on Twitter. In response to a photo he shared of Riley Roberts designated as Congressional “staff” in connection to an apparent government email address that also belongs to him, Ocasio-Cortez explained: ‘Actually this cal designation is a permission so he can have access to my Google Cal. Congressional spouses get Gcal access all the time. Next time check your facts before you tweet nonsense.’ Thompson had ranted: ‘While you were having a nice Valentine’s Day, [Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez] decided to put her boyfriend on staff – drawing a salary on the taxpayer’s dime. Nice to see her adapting to the swamp so quickly.’ While you were having a nice Valentine’s Day, decided to put her boyfriend on staff – drawing a salary on the taxpayer’s dime. Nice to see her adapting to the swamp so quickly. — Luke Thompson (@ltthompso) The screenshot that he shared appears to be garnered from a simple search of an email directory available to Microsoft users. In other words, the source was far from official, and yet he pushed the information as “official” anyway. Ocasio-Cortez has faced plenty of similar challenges before, and even recently. For instance, an early draft of a document answering “frequently asked questions” associated with her “Green New Deal” accidentally went out, and even after those working on the project explained what had happened and even while none of the answers appeared in the actual legislation, Republicans ran with it. Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wy.) went on a lengthy rant during a House committee hearing on climate change about Democrats supposedly wanting to end air travel, and even President Donald Trump suggested something similar, tweeting that it “would be great for the so-called “Carbon Footprint” to permanently eliminate all Planes, Cars, Cows, Oil, Gas & the Military – even if no other country would do the same. Brilliant!” The actual Green New Deal is a joint resolution introduced by Congressional members including Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) that, among other things, calls for the United States to work towards net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. The move has attracted the support of 2020 Democratic presidential candidates like Sens. Kamala Harris (Calif.) and Cory Booker (N.J.), while House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) proved somewhat dismissive of the proposition. Ocasio-Cortez has faced other challenges based on her identity, like those who have launched sexist criticism. She has kept working through the setbacks, as has the new Democratic House majority at-large, which announced a new investigation into the Trump team’s ties to foreign interests literally the day after Trump ranted against “ridiculous partisan investigations” that he compared to literal war in his State of the Union address. Ocasio-Cortez, meanwhile, has so far used her seat to attack corruption in general, including via a high-profile moment in a recent House Oversight Committee when she got experts to help her explicitly lay out how a corrupt political candidate could essentially buy their way into office and then pad them and their buddies.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) recently unveiled a form of her long-touted “Green New Deal” that’s attracted considerable scrutiny from those on the right who claim that it goes too far. This week in , Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wy.) claimed that the plan will eliminate air travel from the United States, despite that simply not being a part of the actual plan. She ranted: ‘I have to say that one of the issues that people are particularly concerned about is the extent to which we are no longer going to have air travel apparently… I assume over the course of the 10 years, we would somehow gradually work our way out of air travel. And I would also have to guess it would have to also involve some sort of prioritization.’ Cheney incorporated that rant into questions for a panel of witnesses including Just Energy’s Partnership for Southern Equity’s Chandra Farley, claiming coal to be a “national security” need. Cheney sought to have them explain how the government would handle phasing out air travel, despite the fact that — ridiculously enough! — that’s not in any legislation that has been put forward! Rep. Jared Huffman (D-Mo.), who was also on the panel participating in the climate change-focused hearing, called her claims out as “fiction” and “a line of questioning based on absolute hooey.” He added: ‘The notion that any of us who are supporting the actual resolution… want to ban all air travel, that’s crazy. That’s absolutely crazy. None of us want to do that… There comes A point where this type of questioning is so disingenuous and so completely disconnected from anything factual that there ought to be a mechanism to strike it from the record.’ The original document that Cheney drew her criticisms from, although at times drastic, doesn’t even outline an explicit targeting of air travel as she suggested. Instead, it explained that the plan would bolster ground-level, renewable energy-based transportation so that air travel “stops becoming necessary.” Still, that hasn’t stopped Republicans from seizing on the outlandish claim that the Democrats want to outlaw air travel in their supposedly drastic plans to combat climate change anyway. President Donald Trump himself tweeted as much, mockingly ranting: ‘I think it is very important for the Democrats to press forward with their Green New Deal. It would be great for the so-called “Carbon Footprint” to permanently eliminate all Planes, Cars, Cows, Oil, Gas & the Military – even if no other country would do the same. Brilliant!’ The document answering “frequently asked questions” that the claim originally emerged from has since been taken down from the web, and to again be clear, was never part of what was actually put forward in Congress anyway. Ocasio-Cortez’s chief of staff explained the document as an “early draft of a FAQ that was clearly unfinished and that doesn’t represent the GND resolution” but was instead accidentally released. In both the House and Senate, dozens of Democrats are instead backing a resolution that includes aims to: – and so on. Why are those such controversial ideas? Featured Image via No related posts.

" unreliable,"Trump Jr. Goes Full-Racist In Unprovoked Attack On Liz Warren Donald Trump Jr. just keeps droning on like someone wants to hear what he has to say outside of the core of his father’s most rabid supporters. In recent days, he took to Instagram to go full racist in an attempt to undercut the 2020 presidential candidacy of Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who made her bid for the White House official this past Saturday. Trump Jr. was promoting a post from his father in which President Donald Trump seemed to mock the Trail of Tears, which refers to the treacherous journeys that Native Americans were forced on across the western United States as white Americans pushed their territorial claims ever further outward. Warren has previously touted the bit of family lore that she has Native American ancestry, and although the Senator hasn’t made the information anywhere near a core part of her platform at any point in recent years — Republicans love to talk about it. On Saturday, President Trump commented of Warren on Twitter: ‘Will she run as our first Native American presidential candidate, or has she decided that after 32 years, this is not playing so well anymore? See you on the campaign TRAIL, Liz!’ The White House declined to elaborate on the tweet as of early Monday — but considering some of the president’s past comments, the implication was clear. He has repeatedly, even as Native American groups urged him to stop, slapped Warren with the nickname “Pocahontas” as a derogatory term. He literally used it while standing among Navajo code talkers who’d worked for the United States during World War II. None of that stopped Trump Jr. from joining in on the nonsense. On Saturday, he posted a screenshot of his father’s tweet acknowledging Warren’s formal announcement of her candidacy to Instagram that included a reply from anarchist and occasional Fox News guest Michael Malice, who quipped: ‘The Native American genocide continues with another murder by our president’ Trump Jr. captioned the image: ‘Savage!!! Love my President.’     A post shared by (@donaldjtrumpjr) on Does Donald Trump Sr. make his children refer to him as their president now? Some have often wondered about the stability — or lack thereof — in that set of familial relationships. Thanks to the Trumps, the United States government has been dragged down to the level of old white guys sitting around laughing about “sick” — or whatever — “burns” on social media that they believe constitute points of pressing national interest. Great job America. Down in the real world, Trump continues to face an ever-growing field of Democratic challengers heading into 2020. Most recently, Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) announced she was running for president, which Trump responded to by — again — mocking the concept of global warming and climate change because of the snowstorm that rocked the area where she announced. Again, however, the fact that a winter storm pops up doesn’t disprove the verifiable trends of the planet changing in dramatic ways. In fact, it proves them! In other words, heading into 2020 the United States has a choice between a guy who can’t get his lies and his incompetence straight and a number of experienced leaders who have demonstrated their commitment to ( all of ) the American people via lengthy records.

Donald Trump has been told, including by expert scientists in the field, what the difference between weather and climate is. Still, he took to Twitter on Sunday to once again push his ignorance on his supporters, who have so far been willing to eat up every word. Let’s be clear: Trump knows by now what the difference between weather and climate is. He repeats this nonsense about the day being cold or about snow because he believes his supporters are stupid enough to see what he says as a legitimate reason to ignore scientific evidence on climate change. So far, it’s still working. If Trump’s goal with the tweet was to make Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) look foolish, it was a massive failure. After the votes on healthcare and negotiations on funding for Trump’s border wall, however, massive failures are becoming the norm for him. Trump, of course, whined some more about how mean Democrats are to him by not just rushing through his nominated candidates for important government positions, threw a bone to the Republicans on one of their favorite issues, school choice (a more palatable way to say “defunding public schools”), and then bragged about CNN proving him right on Syria (they didn’t, U.S. control of ISIS territory has only been possible because U.S. troops were there to ensure it and Trump is pulling them out of the area), but it’s his tweet on Klobuchar’s day of candidacy announcement that will be remembered and mocked. Twitter certainly won’t let Trump forget this one. Read some of their comments below: Featured image via under a license No related posts. " unreliable,"Ocasio Cortez Announces Plans To Save The Planet - GOP Melts Down The new Democratic majority in the U.S. House is remaining ambitious — as exemplified this week by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), who this Thursday an “official” Green New Deal. The concept that’s been batted around among Democratic and progressive circles in recent weeks and months is now in the form of a resolution with five goals and a number of stated projects to support those goals. Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) is introducing the Senate version of Ocasio-Cortez’s resolution, with the support of four already declared 2020 presidential contenders, including Sens. Kamala Harris (Calif.), Cory Booker (N.J.), Elizabeth Warren (Mass.), and Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.). Vermont’s independent Senator Bernie Sanders was also on board. The massive undertaking includes provisions for addressing environmental and economic aspects of climate change, calling for government investment in renewable energy. The goals include achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions, creating millions of “good, high wage jobs and ensure economic prosperity and security for all people of the United States,” investing in the “infrastructure and industry of the United States,” securing a healthy environment “for all people of the United States for generations to come,” and promoting “justice and equity by stopping… oppression of indigenous communities, communities of color, migrant communities,” and so on, which the resolution describes collectively as “frontline and vulnerable communities” — none of which are themselves responsible for the bulk of climate change, despite them bearing the brunt of its effects in the U.S. and around the world. Ocasio-Cortez commented: ‘Even the solutions that we have considered big and bold are nowhere near the scale of the actual problem that climate change presents to us to our country, to the world.’ Although President Donald Trump has previously suggested America is already doing enough to combat climate change and doesn’t need to be put further out by agreements like the Paris climate accord, Ocasio-Cortez’s resolution notes that the United States was alone responsible for 20 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions through 2014. Ocasio-Cortez has previously pushed for a “Green New Deal,” even joining a protest at the office of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to push the proposal. Democratic leaders dismissed at least one significant component of what she’d been pushing for — namely, a full committee to address climate change issues — but the party has forged ahead with efforts to address climate change anyway. On Wednesday, the House Natural Resources and Energy and Commerce committees held hearings on climate change for the first time in a whopping 9 and 6 years respectively, with the previous Republican majority having sought to tamper discussion of the issue down. Even now, as climate change-related issues only get worse, Republicans keep digging into their positions. Late last year, President Trump himself dismissed a massive undertaking involving 13 federal agencies and more than 300 leading climate scientists that outlined the looming catastrophic economic — and humanitarian — impacts of continued climate change. When pressed, he offered simply: ‘I don’t believe it.’ He has also repeatedly mocked the concept of climate change in light of winter storms that have rocked the United States, laughing off a very real, ever-approaching reality.

Nowhere can Trump’s pure ignorance be seen more on full display than on his Twitter feed, where he posted this gem on Wednesday morning. All other issues about this tweet aside, note that he spelled the word “forest” wrong not once, but twice. FEMA money sent to California goes to residents who have been displaced from their homes. This proclamation, a cruel and idiot one at best, wouldn’t just hurt the government of California as they recover from a tragedy. It would leave American citizens homeless as they grieve hundreds of people who have died in those wildfires. Of course, Trump has a solution for all of this. Californians just need to get off their couches and go sweep the forest floor. After all, Trump has decided that that’s the true issue in a state where , thanks to the effects of climate change, are causing rapidly-spreading wildfires. Trump’s true issue with California is that the governor and the vast majority of residents don’t like him and won’t endorse or vote for him. For that, in a dictator’s ideal world, they will suffer. No matter how many times Trump is told that the wildfires have nothing to do with forest (or forrest) management, he’s going to keep pushing these punishments until he’s finally pushed out of office, which cannot possibly come soon enough.

" unreliable,"Trump Curses Out WH Staffers, Sulks & Stomps Around Oval Office: NY Times report The Trump presidency continues to unravel. This weekend, the federal government shut down over a lack of approved funding, and The New York Times that rather than proving concerned about the ever growing tumult, President Donald Trump prefers to sulk and stomp around the White House — only barely figuratively speaking. According to the publication, even as the White House faces serious issues that could basically topple it, Trump prefers tactics like leaning back in his chair and slamming his aides as “fucking idiots” when he disagrees with them during meetings. He spends an only growing amount of time in front of the television, according to The Times — which certainly squares up with the angry tweets he posts all the time. He consistently occupies himself with staying on top of the news headlines, groveling to aides about his distaste for the direction of national media coverage of his administration. This is the guy who’s supposed to be trusted to lead the United States not only out of a government shutdown but into the next two years of whatever comes next. Issues sit on the horizon like yet another economic meltdown, North Korea’s nuclear arsenal, climate change — and, of course, Russian aggression as expressed through means like their cyberwarfare. And where’s the United States’ leader? He’s at the White House, cursing out his aides and his television screen. The Times based their latest report on the president’s handling of the various situations of the day on conversations with some 30 people in the president’s orbit. Situations that the administration and country have a stake in are only intensifying. As longtime GOP adviser Michael Steel put it: ‘Nothing [Trump’s] going to face in the next two years is going to be like the challenges of the previous two years. Given the staff turnover and the increasing feeling that the president is encircled or cornered by legal and political enemies, it’s entirely possible it gets worse, not better.’ The Russia investigation, for instance, continues at present under the leadership of Special Counsel Robert Mueller — but it can only go on for so long. With each box Mueller’s checked, he’s gotten closer to closing up shop — and he’s been checking a lot of boxes lately.

" unreliable,"Nearly A Dozen Liberal Midterm Election Winners Refuse Visit To WH Voting in the midterm elections concluded last month but the near future the results enacted is still forming. Democrats picked up a number of important governorships across the United States — and this week, eight of the newly elected Democratic governors to meet with President Donald Trump at the White House. Some cited scheduling difficulties, and some didn’t offer any public explanation at all, while at least one governor-elect’s team offered what’s close to a direct rebuke and dismissal of the president. Kansas Governor-elect Laura Kelly’s spokeswoman Ashley All insisted: ‘Kansas faces many challenges and the Governor-elect’s first priority is to draft a balanced budget and lay the groundwork to rebuild Kansas.’ In other words, she’s not that interested in palling around with the president and playing into his ego games. During the Thursday meeting at the White House that she and others skipped, the governors-elect had the opportunity to discuss “workforce development, infrastructure, support for veterans and military families, and fighting the opioid crisis,” according to the White House — although there’s been plenty of reporting about the shouting matches and chaos that White House meetings devolve into. Trump’s been reported to have put Lou Dobbs on speakerphone at times, and we all saw him argue on camera with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) just recently. The president had previously ardently campaigned against Kelly, who longtime Trump backer Kris Kobach had been challenging. He’d offered some of his familiar nonsense talking points against her, asserting, for instance, that she wants to give public benefits to undocumented immigrants — although for the millionth time, they don’t even qualify according to most present laws and aren’t draining America’s coffers like the Republicans claims. Conspiracies don’t magically become reality. Considering the circumstances, any meeting between Trump and Kelly would no doubt have had an extra level of tension. Other Democratic governors-elect to skip visiting the White House include Nevada’s Steve Sisolak, Connecticut’s Ned Lamont, and Minnesota’s Tim Walz. All of them cited busy schedules as underlying their absence, indicating — in Sisolak and Lamont’s cases explicitly — that they’d be willing and ready to meet with the president at other times. Neither New Mexico’s  , Maine’s Janet Mills, nor Colorado’s   offered any apparent immediate explanations for their absence from the White House, while California’s Gavin Newsom — the eighth missing Democrat — lost his father just this week. Trump has sparred with Newsom’s team in the past; he currently serves as the state’s lieutenant governor and has faced rounds of legal challenges from the Trump administration. For instance, in an ultimately failed effort, the Trump team sought to overturn the state’s efforts to keep immigration law enforcement and regular police separate and thereby preserve the integrity of both. The state and the administration have also been on opposite sides of efforts to combat climate change. In other words… it’s ultimately hardly not just the Democrats who have injected some kind of awkwardness into the situation via skipping the White House meeting. Featured Image via No related posts.

" unreliable,"Ocasio-Cortez Responds To Republican Attacks Like A Badass In the face of a mounting Democratic challenge to their abuses of power, Republicans keep resorting to personal attacks on the national and global stage over and over again. This past week, conservative journalist Michael Moates derided incoming Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as a “bitch” after she posted a reminder that soon, House Democrats will have subpoena power. The new Congresswoman responded by pointing out just what the journalist’s comment revealed about him and his political positions, saying: ‘Wow! A Republican journalist calling me the B-word as he deliberately misinterprets my statement. Awesome job. How many female leaders have you covered in your career? I’m sure your coverage was very fair and not subconsciously biased at all.’ She’d previously taken issue with Donald Trump Jr. dismissing her political platform via a sarcastic jab that those aligned with her were setting up Americans to eat dogs. Ocasio-Cortez has described herself as a democratic socialist and pushes for measures to get the power of government back in the hands of the people via programs like Medicare-for-all and a so-called “Green New Deal” to put the United States on track to curtailing its carbon emissions big time and by extension, putting the brakes on climate change. Her original comments pointed out that Trump Jr. seems to, like his father, turn anxiety over the Russia investigation into public outbursts. He’s been reported to have expressed concern to friends that he could be indicted for false statements to Congress associated with a 2016 meeting he had with Kremlin lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya meant to procure Russian government dirt on Hillary Clinton. Just this past week, the government recommended a prison sentence of four years for former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen for crimes including lying to Congress. Ocasio-Cortez noted: ‘I have noticed that Junior here has a habit of posting nonsense about me whenever the Mueller investigation heats up. Please, keep it coming Jr – it’s definitely a “very, very large brain” idea to troll a member of a body that will have subpoena power in a month. Have fun!’ I have noticed that Junior here has a habit of posting nonsense about me whenever the Mueller investigation heats up. Please, keep it coming Jr – it’s definitely a “very, very large brain” idea to troll a member of a body that will have subpoena power in a month. Have fun! — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@Ocasio2018) The commentary is in clear reference to the Russia investigation, which House Democrats have indicated they’ll pick up where Republicans dropped it off once they take power next month. Still, Republicans including Moates sought to cast the Congresswoman as engaging in petty, threatening behavior that was out of line. He ranted in since-deleted tweets: ‘Donald Trump Jr. is a good man and the fact that Ocasio wants to abuse her power once she becomes a congresswoman is sad. It’s an abuse of power and the house should consider expelling her if she does. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is no victim. She’s batshit crazy.’ First of all, what does Trump Jr. supposedly being a “good man” have to do with whether he should be held legally liable for criminal behavior? Secondly, does Moates really expect us to take him seriously when he doesn’t even know — or at least acknowledge — that most individual House members can’t just issue subpoenas?

" unreliable,"Meghan Embarrasses Herself LIVE On 'The View' Over Behar Feud As the United States continues to grapple with the realities of the polarized political climate under President Donald Trump, some prominent political personalities continue their public meltdown. Meghan McCain, in her capacity as a co-host of The View , has been going at it with fellow co-host Joy Behar this week. Their feud started after they disagreed live on air over whether it was appropriate to pivot from a discussion of the deceased former President George H.W. Bush to one of President Donald Trump and more specifically, his denial of climate change’s severity. Now during this Tuesday’s edition of the show, some noted that McCain remained sullen throughout the opening segment, offering little comment outside of some familiar attempts at defending the Republican line she represents. Watch below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JURjCU93HqU&t=2s Those attempts took a bizarrely harried turn when she lambasted co-host Whoopi Goldberg for being sensitive to Louisiana Republican U.S. Representative Steve Scalise’s personal history with gun violence. He’d been shot during an attack on a group of Republican lawmakers and left hospitalized for a considerable period of time from the incident, and Goldberg avoided making a quip with a metaphorical gun as the punchline in light of his Tuesday appearance on the show — which McCain took grave issue with. She ranted that she will “still say gun on national television” because apparently that’s the major national gun related issue of the week… whether a talk show host says the word “gun” on television. Talk about a persecution complex. Meanwhile, 13,455 Americans and counting have lost their lives to gun violence since January 1. Previously this week, McCain had taken issue with Behar over her complaining about President Trump’s rejection of climate science. Pressed about an inter-agency report his own administration released asserting we’re on a course to catastrophic temperature changes and slashes to American economic output, he told reporters it’s “fine” and he doesn’t believe it. In response, Behar joined the many Americans concerned about the government’s inaction and insisted Monday that if she ever became a one-issue voter, it would be over climate change, noting the utter lack of seriousness with which Trump has approached issues George H.W. Bush might not have thought twice about. McCain took grave issue with this thanks to concerns about civility — or something — and in an exchange that ended up getting cut off from the live feed, Behar eventually threatened to quit the show over the “entitled bitch” McCain. The next stage of this tumult showed itself Tuesday. McCain has previously made a name for herself outside of her talk show antics through means including throwing barbs at Donald Trump’s leadership — or lack thereof — at her father’s funeral. She has hardly earned a spot among the president’s favorite Republican political commentators — since he has those — considering the animosity. Ironically enough considering her resentment at Behar’s criticism of the president, it’s not as though Trump’s carried on in a remotely “civil” fashion over her own father, having gone after him time and time again even as he approached death from brain cancer.

" unreliable,"Sarah Sanders Gets Humiliated By LIVE Fact-Check During Briefing (VIDEO) The White House has wound down the frequency of its on camera press briefings, but that doesn’t mean that when press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders does show up, she’ll be able to escape scrutiny. This Tuesday, she offered a briefing to reporters that included questioning about the Trump administration’s recently released status report on climate change, and CNN countered her attempted deflection with live fact checks running next to their feed of the briefing. She originally faced a question over President Donald Trump’s complete dismissal of the report. Pressed earlier this week by reporters, he asserted that he doesn’t believe it. Sanders explained: ‘The president is certainly leading on what matters most in this process and that’s on having clean air, clean water — in fact, the United States continues to be a leader on that front. Even Obama’s undersecretary for science didn’t believe the radical conclusions of the report that released, and you have to look at the fact that this report is based on the most extreme modeled scenario, which contradicts long established trends. Modeling the climate is an extremely complicated climate that is never exact.’ Watch below. CNN countered with their fact check noting that the report in question was the product of the work of 300 scientists and 13 federal agencies and it was even “open for transparency and review before publishing.” In other words, it was most certainly not some kind of shot in the dark based on only the most extreme modeling. Why is it so hard for the Trump administration to get themselves together and actually push to protect the climate from global warming? Why must they insist on inane arguments that might as well be from Captain Obvious about how supposedly inexact science is, when the point — no matter the exact tenth of a degree the global temperature sits at — is that the climate is moving in a negative direction for the planet? The report in question predicted a temperature rise of some three degrees Fahrenheit by 2100 and a slash to the American economy of some ten percent if current trends continue. How can the Trump administration refuse to take that even somewhat seriously? They’ve completely thrown it out! Sanders didn’t even get one of her basic assertions right. While it is true that a former Obama administration official has sounded an alarm about alleged missteps in climate science, the official she’s probably talking about — former Undersecretary of Energy for Science Steven Koonin — has made no apparent public comment about the newest report, although he has detailed concerns about a past government climate report, the 2017 “Climate Science Special Report.” How does Sanders expect us to trust her when she throws around nonsense like that? The Trump administration’s Environmental Protection Agency had previously sought to bring Koonin on board, ironically enough, in an attempt to manifest a “red team” to debate the climate science at hand — as if observations of the natural world and its course can be debated — but that never happened. The administration certainly hasn’t stopped seeking to undercut basic reality at nearly every turn, though. Featured Image via screenshot from No related posts.

No. It’s a figure of speech, and I probably shouldn’t have done it. But I did, and it doesn’t change how I feel about what’s happened in California.’ There is no “figure of speech” in saying that 77 people have died due to God’s wrath against liberals. However, Johnson continued. ‘Now to the extent that that meme would have offended or hurt someone in California, yes, that’s not the intent, and I don’t think that’s what it says. But you know, it’s in the eyes of the beholder, and so if it offended anyone that had a loss of life, then I’m sorry.

Societies are these incredibly complex, organic things that sometimes moves forward and sometimes takes a step back.’ NBC NEWS: Former President Barack Obama says ""racism"" and ""mommy issues,"" among other contributors, are limiting the country's ability to make progress on everything from education to climate change — Meet the Press (@MeetThePress) The Republican rhetoric, supported by Trump, is not only harmful to unity and understanding among the American people, but it’s also sure to become a detriment to humans as a whole.

" unreliable,"Jim Acosta Tweets Defiant Sunday Message To Trump With Hard Evidence Of Lies Donald Trump’s latest arch nemesis, CNN reporter Jim Acosta, retweeted an article on Sunday that is sure to enrage the president. No matter how many times Trump is caught in a lie, he never learns and his supporters just don’t seem to care. President of Finland doesn’t recall discussing raking leaves with Trump when they met last weekend in Paris. — Jim Acosta (@Acosta) On Saturday, Trump claimed that: ‘You’ve got to take care of the floors. You know the floors of the forest, very important. You look at other countries where they do it differently and it’s a whole different story…I was with the president of Finland and he said, ”We have a much different – we’re a forest nation.” He called it a forest nation, and they spent a lot of time on raking and cleaning and doing things. And they don’t have any problem.’ In the article that Acosta retweeted from a Finnish news source, is quoted as saying: ‘I mentioned [to] him that Finland is a land covered by forests and we also have a good monitoring system and network, Niinistö we take care of our forests.’ Unlike Trump, the Finnish president understands that the human effect on climate change is important to prevent catastrophes like the fires in California, noting that they “produce black carbon” and “Finland is aiming to be at the forefront of cutting back on black carbon emissions.” As for Trump, when asked if he had changed his mind about climate change being a “hoax,” he ridiculously replied that he did not because he has “a strong opinion, I want great climate.” Twitter mocked Trump for his lies.

" unreliable,"Another GOP Seat Abruptly Turns Democrat - Blue Tsunami Triggered Another new Democrat is going to Congress. Although voting in the midterm elections concluded over a week ago at this point, Democrats are still racking up victories. Wednesday afternoon, the Associated Press called the race to represent New Jersey’s 3rd Congressional District for the Democratic challenger Andy Kim. The former national security aide to Barack Obama beat Republican incumbent Tom MacArthur by a margin of about one percent, or a little over 3,000 votes. Andy Kim has defeated Rep. Tom MacArthur in NJ-03 to flip the seat to Democrats — POLITICO (@politico) Kim is among the first Korean Americans elected to Congress in some 20 years, adding to the stature of his victory. It’s alongside other significant triumphs, like the election this past week of the first two Muslim women to Congress, ever. The call caps off a week of major victories for Democrats in the House. For the first time in eight years, they will be the majority party — with all of the concurrent powers, including that of the subpoena. Overall, dozens of Republican seats flipped to Democrats; Kim’s is the fourth flip just in New Jersey. There will now be only one Republican in the next Congressional delegation from the state, Chris Smith in the state’s 4th Congressional District. Kim’s victory sits among 34 others in the House and counting, putting the party well above the threshold of a couple dozen pickups they needed to take control. His lead wasn’t even present on election night, , making him among a number of Democrats who not only have flipped Congressional seats but who have done so in the days following Tuesday, when voting in the midterms concluded. Among the most prominent in that category is probably Kyrsten Sinema, the Arizona Senate candidate who took a very late lead over Republican challenger Martha McSally in the race to replace the retiring Republican Jeff Flake. Arizona hasn’t elected a Democrat to the U.S. Senate for decades. Sinema and Kim aren’t alone. In California, Democratic House candidates Katie Porter and Josh Harder have both taken the lead over incumbent Republicans in the days since election night. Harder’s race has been called in his favor as of Wednesday afternoon, but Porter’s hasn’t. Another similar example would be that of New Mexico Democrat Xochitl Torres Small, who took the lead over Republican incumbent Yvette Herrell days after election night concluded and is — seemingly — on her way to Congress. The victories offset at least a couple of setbacks, like Democratic Senate hopeful Beto O’Rourke’s loss to incumbent Texas Republican Ted Cruz and Democratic candidate for Florida governor Andrew Gillum’s fate. He remains down in unofficial counts behind Republican Ron DeSantis. Still, Kim will be joining a sizable Democratic contingent in the U.S. House next January. President Donald Trump has already threatened the incoming Democrats, saying that he and the GOP will launch party politics-driven investigations into them if they dare to look into the Trump team’s activities. That, though, doesn’t exactly seem poised to make plenty of Democrats rethink their positions. The Russia investigation will likely get back underway in the House, as will a whole host of other efforts, like fighting climate change, reigning in the Trump administration’s ethics violations, and beyond.

" unreliable,"Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Attends Sit-In At Pelosi's Office - Police To Arrest Although Democrats became the majority party in the U.S. House this past week, that doesn’t mean that the struggle over the future of national left leaning politics is over. “Moderates” in the party must contend with the ever growing number of those concerned with rising threats like climate change. This Tuesday — just a week after the midterms — environmental activists marched on House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi’s D.C. office, holding a sit in protest that culminated in apparent arrests. CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE: Hundreds of young people joined by Rep.-Elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez held a sit-in at Nancy Pelosi’s congressional office, demanding she support a ‘Green New Deal’ to invest in clean energy jobs to help stop climate change. Police say they plan to make arrests soon. The activists are with the climate justice group Sunrise Movement. Posted by on Tuesday, November 13, 2018 Representative-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was among the protesters. The up and coming New York Democrat represents some of the most ideologically committed factions on the left, including those protesters with the environmental advocacy group Sunrise, which led the protest she joined Tuesday. Also present was Michigan’s Representative-elect Rashida Tlaib — one of the first two Muslim women elected to Congress — who joined an early Tuesday event at the Capitol but didn’t continue to the protest. Justice Democrats communications director Waleed Shahid — whose group also joined the events — ‘Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic Party must get serious about the climate and our economy. Anything less is tantamount to denying the reality of climate change. The hopeful part is we’re ushering a new generation of leaders into the Democratic Party who understand the urgency and will help build a movement to create the political will for bold action.’ Some of that action protesters are seeking includes the formation of a new House committee meant to tackle climate related issues. The body — called the Select Committee for a Green New Deal in draft legislation the activists prepared and presented to Pelosi’s office — would be tasked with issues including transforming the U.S. economy to be carbon-neutral within ten years. The protesters weren’t trying to combat Pelosi so much as they were seeking to “galvanize” Democratic leaders into making tackling climate change a priority, Ocasio-Cortez said. It’s true, for instance, that years ago when Pelosi was House Speaker, she’d pushed cap and trade legislation — but that didn’t get anywhere, failing in the Senate, and it’s been eight years since she even had the opportunity to push similar measures. The issue remains one of many on the table for Democrats heading into their newfound control of the House, including the Russia scandal. There’s already been plenty of talk about the newly Democrat-controlled House Intelligence Committee restarting their arm of the Russia investigation, which shuttered — for now — while Republicans decided to focus their efforts more on investigating those who’d ever raised concerns about possible Trump team collusion in the first place. The threat from Russian interference continues — as does that posed by climate change, which scientists continue to sound the alarm about through means including a recent United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report. Meanwhile, making calls from activists like Ocasio-Cortez all the more fitting, President Donald Trump continues to deny the very realities of climate change. He recently asserted, for instance, that forest management — and by implication, not climate change — stood as a major driver of California wildfires, and he’s dismissed rising temperatures by asserting the earth will cool back down. Scientists, though, know better. Featured Image via screenshot from No related posts. " unreliable,"Trump's Fantasy Of Military Parade Squashed In Europe, Leading To Tantrum President Donald Trump continued his tradition of not doing much of anything in a time demanding a United States president step up to the plate. While in France this past weekend to mark the 100th anniversary of the conclusion of World War I — he avoided some of the actual demarcation. He skipped a ceremony at the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery and Memorial that unfolded this past Saturday, sending a group of administration officials instead. The White House’s stated reason for the president avoiding the solemn occasion incorporated the fact that it was raining, but it’s hard not to imagine that something else was at play. It’s not like driving an hour in the rain is some kind of treacherous undertaking. Trump did face protests while abroad, and we know how much he dislikes those. Former George W. Bush speechwriter David Frum noted: ‘It’s incredible that a president would travel to France for this significant anniversary — and then remain in his hotel room watching TV rather than pay in person his respects to the Americans who gave their lives in France for the victory gained 100 years ago’ Ironically enough, Trump’s long sought military parade in Washington, D.C., had originally been set for Veterans Day, which was this past Saturday. The event was cancelled for the time being in the face of skyrocketing costs after snowballing from inspiration the president got while in Paris another time for Bastille Day celebrations. For the volatile American president, though, there was plenty to complain about besides that too. While in France for just two days honoring the conclusion of a massive war that shaped the politics of the Western hemisphere — and world — for decades to come, he publicly whined about votes for Democrats getting added onto Florida election totals in the ongoing effort to figure out exactly who’s ahead in a number of statewide races. There’s no evidence of fraud or forgery, but the president claimed otherwise anyway. He railed: ‘Trying to STEAL two big elections in Florida! We are watching closely!’ He also, while other world leaders were assembling and working on honoring the dead of World War I, blamed Californians for the raging wildfires that just recently have claimed dozens of lives. He just continued on with the familiar partisan complaining during what was supposed to be a solemn weekend. He ranted: ‘There is no reason for these massive, deadly and costly forest fires in California except that forest management is so poor. Billions of dollars are given each year, with so many lives lost, all because of gross mismanagement of the forests. Remedy now, or no more Fed payments!’ He’s previously made the absurdity of his position clear, ranging from completely ignoring climate change to making up nonsense about water being actively diverted to the Pacific Ocean and thereby contributing to the area’s dryness. It’s not as though this weekend was the first time the president found himself at odds with world leaders. During past NATO summits, for instance, he’s come in with metaphorical guns blazing, asserting — with little backing — that allies are taking advantage of the United States and basically can’t unilaterally trust the United States. Those assertions have consequences for the stability of the world or lack thereof. Trump, however, continues on with his nonsense anyway. Featured Image via No related posts. " unreliable,"Trump Spends Entire Election Day Retweeting His Old Posts In Bizarre Display On Tuesday, Donald Trump cleared his presidential schedule to keep an eye on the midterm results as they come in, but it seems he’s spending the day issuing endless retweets on his favorite social media platform. Of course, all of his retweets are his own posts. He’s focused mostly on retweeting insults at Democratic candidates. Andrew Gillum is corrupt and loves crime. Joe Donnelly is improperly influencing the vote like Russia did (although Trump did, at least, finally admit that Russia influenced voting), Bill Nelson never calls Trump, Claire McCaskill is too liberal, and Krysten Sinema is inviting undocumented immigrants into Arizona. Of course, he also retweeted that infamous post in which he threatened voters by insisting that voter fraud is rampant and that police will be arresting people at the polls. For contrast, President Obama’s single tweet of the day encouraged voting and focused on actual issues, like health care, gun safety legislation, reproductive health rights, equality, and climate change.

Currently, American voters support Democratic congressional candidates by a . Today’s vote, for many, is a chance to reject Trump’s racist fear-mongering, xenophobia, and sexism.

" unreliable,"JUST IN: Trump Threatens To Block Funds For California Wildfires Donald Trump has a problem with California, because it went for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election. Unfortunately, he holds a grudge. The first time he addressed the terrible California wildfires, he got the situation really wrong. POTUS said the cause of the wildfires was the way the state managed its environment policies. The president’s tweets reflected his disdain for the Golden state. Instead of using its water to fight the fires, Trump said it was, according to The New York Times: ‘Foolishly being diverted into the Pacific Ocean…California wildfires are being magnified & made so much worse by the bad environmental laws which aren’t allowing massive amount of readily available water to be properly utilized.’ The man sitting in the Oval Office noted, according to ‘I said “you must have a tremendous drought going on.” They said “no, we have so much water we don’t know what to do with it. But they don’t let the water come down to us. It naturally flows to us. They won’t let it. They send it out into the Pacific Ocean. Millions and millions and millions of gallons. We have the greatest farmland anywhere in the world, but they won’t give us water.”‘ The commander-in-chief also commented on the debate in forest management around moving trees and brush to control the forest fires. His comments followed the White House’s declaration that the wildfires had truly been a “major disaster.” It was only then that he released federal funding for the recovery efforts. Assistant deputy director of Cal Fire, which is California’s agency in charge of firefighting, Daniel Berlant responded, the New York Times reported: ‘We have plenty of water to fight these wildfires, but let’s be clear: It’s our changing climate that is leading to more severe and destructive fires.’ He questioned whether the president was talking about a separate issue. Each year, California farmers and environmentalists have a disagreement over the distribution of water. Naturally, the farmers need water for irrigating their crops. On the other hand, environmentalists claim that the fish in the rivers would die if they diverted water for irrigation. When Trump was in Fresno for a 2016 campaign rally, Trump said California’s water problem was “so insane.” ‘You have a water problem that is so insane, it is so ridiculous, where they’re taking the water and shoving it out to sea. They have farms up here, and they don’t get water.’ When Governor Jerry Brown was asked what Trump was talking about when he referred to diverting water into the ocean, his spokesperson, Evan Westrup, responded: ‘Your guess is as good as mine.’ The president did not refer to climate change as a factor in the wildfires. He believes that climate change is just a hoax and refuses to take in information on the issue or change his mind. Even his cabinet doubts whether humans have a part in the subject. Senior staff scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Michael Wehner, said quantifying the exact impact climate change has on forest fires is not possible. However, he did note that longer, drier summers do expand the wildfire season: ‘To dismiss the role of climate change on these fires is simply incorrect.’ Management professor at the University of California, Merced, LeRoy Westerling studies wildfires. He said the president was wrong to blame California: ‘(California is) spending millions and millions of dollars on this while the federal government is sitting on its hands. And all that money is being raised because we’re putting a price on carbon.’ Featured image is a screenshot via No related posts.

Yet, the commander-in-chief claimed that he has “a natural instinct for science.” Does that mean he absorbs science through osmosis, through his skin? Or does he mean he just breathes in scientific facts? Maybe he can “sniff out” science, like a bloodhound. Or, perhaps, science comes to him in his dreams.

" unreliable,"JUST IN: Top Florida Newspaper Makes Election-Altering 2018 Endorsements Running in one of the last states to hold their primary elections ahead of the midterms this November, Democrat Andrew Gillum won his party’s nomination to be Florida’s governor in a surprise upset. Despite sitting well behind opponent Gwen Graham in polls, he prevailed, inspiring those perhaps dissatisfied with a lack of progressive representation and also indicative, no doubt, of the surge in support of such representation. More voters cast a ballot in the 2018 Florida Democratic primary than had in a similar election in decades. That support has culminated into a major newspaper endorsement Gillum can now claim. The Miami Herald published a piece praising the Tallahassee mayor this weekend, casting him as the most sure candidate to fight for all Floridians — and even Florida itself, considering the ongoing threat of climate change. ‘Andrew Gillum is the best candidate to pull Florida back to the center, back to making sure the middle class and working class don’t continue to bear the brunt of Tallahassee’s misguided spending; back to acting on behalf of the Floridians denied health insurance by the current administration; back to putting public schools, which serve the majority of the state’s children, in the spotlight; back to being a leader in the fight against sea-level rise and the degradation of the environment.’ Meanwhile, the Herald noted, Republican opponent Ron DeSantis’ record on each of those issues is less than optimal. For instance, he has opposed the Affordable Care Act time and time again, supporting its repeal — a GOP effort that never came to fruition. Roughly nine percent of Floridians were recorded as maintaining an ACA health plan in 2017 — and should the Republican hoping to be their next governor have had his way, they’d have all been without insurance because of politics. There’s an extra issue in Florida too — the ACA’s Medicaid expansion. Under the current state of federal legislation, states can opt out of expanding Medicaid, and under eight years of Republican Rick Scott’s leadership, that’s exactly what Florida’s done. DeSantis would no doubt continue that, leaving the some 400,000 uninsured Floridians at-risk. Additionally, the Herald has no faith that DeSantis will change the Scott administration’s policy of supporting educational institutions like charter schools at the expense of public schools, an issue that has ironically enough gone national thanks to the ascent of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, who supports the same. The newspaper also highlights an issue that Florida remains on the front lines of — climate change. Although they do acknowledge that DeSantis has taken important steps like asserting an opposition to fracking, he has not, by and large, proven himself overly keen on ruthlessly protecting the environment. He’s just as likely to support Republican deregulation ideals, he’s proven in Congress. These issues sit in addition to some other, perhaps more “viral” ones. DeSantis, for instance, in the days following his Republican primary victory, called on Florida voters to not “monkey this up” by electing his opponent, who is black. Florida voters, meanwhile, seem to be listening to voices like the Herald . Gillum has led in poll after poll, registering as much as a 12 percent lead in a recent CNN undertaking.

" unreliable,"Trump Threatens To Withhold Federal Funds For California Wildfires You’d hope that a president of the United States wouldn’t have a grudge against one of those states, but here we are. President Donald Trump and his administration have singled out California for condemnation in the past, and now, the president has sought to undercut them again. He suggested in a meeting at the White House that federal funding for the state to fight wildfires could be withdrawn if the disasters keep raging like they are — because that makes sense to him, somehow. He began: ‘I go all over the country. When I meet with governors, the first thing they say is there’s no reason for forest fires like that in California. So I say to the governor, or whoever’s going to be the governor of California, you just better get your act together. We’re just not going to continue to pay the kind of money we’re paying because of fires that should never be to this extent.’ Somehow, the anonymous expertise of random governors from around the country trumps the facts of the situation and makes it the California government’s fault that wildfires have raged there this year. In fact, it’s a nice political ploy for the president to pull, but it has little connection to reality. He has no apparent idea what’s he’s talking about. California has faced a year of raging wildfires in connection to record setting heat, with temperatures registering well over 100 degrees like had not yet been seen in modern times that records are available for. The University of Colorado’s Jennifer Balch put it bluntly speaking to the Los Angeles Times : ‘You’re seeing the effect of climate change.’ To Trump, though, the real global threat isn’t the rising average temperature — it’s the Democrats. Although he acknowledged that the state’s leadership could soon change — and on a practical level, it will, since current Governor Jerry Brown isn’t running for re-election — the Democratic Party is inexorably interwoven with the state’s political identity. Trump is literally blaming the Democrats for natural disasters. He whined: ‘It’s costing our country hundreds of billions of dollars because of incompetence in California. I’m speaking now for the people of California — they don’t want to see this happen. They’re getting destroyed, and it’s hurting our budgets, it’s hurting our country, and they just better get their act together.’ Actually, he’s not in a position to speak for the vast majority of the people of California, since in 2016 he only garnered some 32 percent of the vote total there. He speaks instead for the fringe reality disconnected climate change deniers scattered across the American political scene. Speaking recently with the Associated Press, he asserted that he has a “natural instinct for science” and “knows” that there are scientists on both sides of the question of whether or not human activity is driving climate change at all. TV host Stephen Colbert responded in perhaps the best fashion: ‘After a year of massive storms causing untold damage, and our glaciers just shrinking in every direction, Trump… told the reporter, ‘You have scientists on both sides of the issue.’ That is true, there are scientists on both sides. On one side, all the scientists. On the other, one guy who runs a blog called RealTrueAmericanScienceEagle.jesus.’ Featured Image via No related posts. " unreliable,"Trump Tweets About The 'Fake Dossier' Like A Crooked Used Car Salesman On Tuesday, October 16, 2018, residents of Florida are recovering from a massive hurricane that left 18 people dead and thousands homeless and financially devastated. An American resident who worked as a journalist for The Washington Post  has disappeared and is suspected to have been murdered by a foreign government. Scientists released dire warnings and a limited timeline regarding what will be the deadly effects of climate change. The president of the United States, however, has concerned himself on Twitter with Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s ancestry, his former mistress’s “horseface,” and details of a dossier that has never been debunked about his 2016 presidential campaign’s alleged collusion with a hostile foreign government that he desperately wants to convince his rabid fanbase is “fake news.” Pieces of the dossier have turned out to be disturbingly true and other pieces are as yet unconfirmed, but none of it has proven “fake.” No amount of Glen Simpson talking to a reporter about the dossier changes the veracity of it, but muddling the story is Trump’s best hope at this point. Imagine for a moment that Republicans had gotten hold of potential evidence that President Barack Obama had illegally stolen an election after their candidate won the popular vote. After all, Trump tried to challenge the legitimacy of Obama’s presidency with his fake birther claims no matter how many times it was debunked. The GOP conducted endless investigations into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server as secretary of state and an attack in Benghazi that turned up no evidence of wrongdoing. Yet, with real evidence to back up suspicions of wrongdoing, Trump complains about how unfairly he’s being treated. At this point, it’s tiresome and most Americans are waiting for Trump to decide to focus on what’s important while Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation plays out.

" unreliable,"Trump Announces Monday Plans & Gets Swiftly Brutal Retaliation Nearly a week after Hurricane Michael made landfall on October 10, 2018, Donald Trump decided to take time out of his tweeting schedule to hop on down there. The hurricane was the fourth strongest storm in history to hit the country. Hopefully POTUS will not be throwing paper towels into the audience as he did in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria devastated the island last year. Of course, Trump took no responsibility for his current misstep. He does not believe in climate change. That is clear. It was embarrassing how little interest he has expressed in a hurricane that killed 18 people with dozens more missing. He even refused to cancel one of his rallies as the storm hit shore. The commander-in-chief sent out this early morning tweet: ‘Will be leaving for Florida and Georgia with the First Lady to tour the hurricane damage and visit with FEMA, First Responders and Law Enforcement. Maximum effort is taking place, everyone is working very hard. Worst hit in 50 years!’ Hurricane Michael was the first ever category four to “make landfall in the Florida Panhandle. It caused the highest storm surge that covered areas from “Mexico Beach to Apalachee Bay.” Michael’s winds were so strong that at least one million people have no electricity. The hurricane’s “heavy rain triggered flash flooding from the Carolinas to New Jersey,” according to . Before boarding the Marine One helicopter, Trump answered reporters’ questions. When they asked about First Lady Melania’s television interview, he said that she did pretty good. Then, he could not resist patting himself on the back, saying that he did not do too badly himself.

I know these things.” Perhaps the best summary of Trump’s interview boils down to “Lesley, it’s okay. In the meantime, I’m president — and you’re not.” In answering question after question, on everything from climate change to Russia’s influence of the election to his relationship with Kim Jong Un, Trump was combative, argumentative, and utterly self-absorbed. Remember his biggest regret was the Iraq War, and his was not going farther to push gun control? Trump’s isn’t anything he actually did. It’s that he can’t force the press doesn’t praise his every move. ‘The press treats me terribly. I thought very strongly that, you know, the one great thing will happen is the press will start treating me great. Lesley, they treat me worse. They got worse instead of better. Very dishonest. … I regret that the press treats me so badly.’ Self-awareness and humility are not exactly Trump’s strong suits. He admitted that his friend and “love,” Kim Jong Un, has a bloody record of human rights abuses, “Sure. I know all these things. I mean — I’m not a baby. I know these things,” and that Putin meddled in the 2016 elections “They — they meddled. But I think China meddled too,” but at no time admitted he had been wrong or misjudged anything or that cozying up to strongman dictators is a bad thing. In the end, it all came back down to that one quote. “I’m president, and you’re not.” Featured image screenshot via No related posts. " unreliable,"Melania Just Answered Media Questions In Africa & Trump is Furious First Lady of the United States Melania Trump traveled to Africa this fall — for some reason. It’s her first solo trip overseas since assuming her present position. While in Egypt this weekend — literally standing in the shadow of the infamous Sphinx statue — she took questions from some of the reporters who were along for the ride, which journalist Jennifer Jacobs noted was a “rarity.” Her husband’s incessant and incendiary tweeting was among the topics discussed. Although she’s often out of the public spotlight, it’s come up in the public conversation surrounding her before, since it contrasts strikingly with the “Be Best” anti-bullying campaign she’s unveiled. Speaking to reporters overseas this weekend, she commented: ‘I don’t always agree with what he tweets, and I tell him that. I give him my honest opinion and honest advice. Sometimes he listens, sometimes he doesn’t — it’s very important for me that I express what I think.’ She added a prompted joke that “yes,” she sometimes tells him to put his phone down. Wow, Melania — thank you for your service. (Sarcasm) She’s hardly the only Trump family member to come across publicly as waging some kind of feeble, drummed up attempt to redirect Donald’s literally destructive impulses. Ivanka Trump holds an official advisory position in the Trump administration, but she’s hardly made a mark. She’s reported to have pushed for her father to have remained committed to standards for development to combat climate change, but nothing ever came of that. President Trump moved to withdraw the United States from the Paris climate accord, a landmark agreement signed by nearly every country around the globe at the time. Melania, meanwhile, shared other aspects of her reasoning with reporters while standing around in Egypt. She expressed support for credibly accused sexual predator turned U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, who was officially confirmed by the U.S. Senate Saturday afternoon. His future in the federal judiciary had been in question as Democrats waged a campaign to find the full truth about his background, first brought to light in part through the revelations of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. Republicans mostly blocked those efforts. Of Kavanaugh, Melania said: ‘I think he’s qualified for the Supreme Court. I’m glad that Dr. Ford was heard. I’m glad that Judge Kavanaugh was heard and that the FBI investigation was done. It’s completed.’ Ironically, it’s hardly her husband alone among prominent Republicans who have acted in stark contrast to the anti-bullying message Melania has put forward. The debacle surrounding Judge Kavanaugh makes that clear. For instance, appearing on Fox News hours after hearing from Ford and Kavanaugh at a lengthy, widely watched U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, South Carolina Republican and Judiciary Committee member Lindsey Graham asserted that Ford has a “problem” — whatever that’s supposed to mean. Concurrently, he asserted — rather loudly, in fact — that Kavanaugh had been put through “hell.” For all his ranting, it was unsure whether or not Kavanaugh’s nomination would advance until Maine Republican Susan Collins announced her support. With perceived swing votes Arizona Republican Jeff Flake and eventually West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin on his side as well, that put the judge over the top. Featured Image via No related posts.

Rick Scott is currently running for Senate against Democrat Bill Nelson, but he is no doubt facing tremendous backlash for his policies regarding the environment, which was made abundantly clear to him today after being forced to leave his campaign stop after just ten minutes.

POTUS told a smaller than expected crowd of VFW veterans to not believe what they see and hear, just believe what Trump has told them. Then, the White House revealed its official lying image. Early the first morning of his presidency Trump ordered a photographer working for the White House to crop an inaugural crowd photo. The man currently sitting in the Oval Office demanded that his crowd look bigger than that of President Barack Obama’s 2009 inauguration. The Guardian  discovered that this photographer cut out the spaces with no people “where the crowd ended.” By altering the perspective, cropping the photos created the illusion of a far bigger crowd than actually existed. The documents revealed in  The Guardian’s  investigation, via a FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) request, detailed that the commander-in-chief called the  Director Michael Reynolds on January 21, 2017. Then, the former White House press secretary, Sean Spicer, followed up that day with multiple calls requesting photos that made the crowd appear larger than they really were. Trump had insisted that his was the “biggest ever inauguration audience.” He demanded that the official photos match the president’s words. In the following days, Spicer repeated the president’s false claim. Reporters were circulating side-by-side photographs of Trump’s and Obama’s crowds. However, the NPS inspector general’s office did not detail this visual discrepancy. A redacted NPS communications official told  The Guardian  that Reynolds called her after the president’s call and said that Trump wanted his inauguration photos changed.

They wanted photos that: ‘Accurately represented the inauguration crowd size.’ She said his request was: ‘A request for NPS to provide photographs in which it appeared the inauguration crowd filled the majority of the space in the photograph.’ The NPS photographer’s name was redacted. He said he sent 25 photographs to the White House, but an official wanted: ‘Any photographs that showed the inauguration crowd sizes (and) a few more.’ The Guardian  reported: ‘He said he edited the inauguration photographs to make them look more symmetrical by cropping out the sky and cropping out the bottom where the crowd ended. He said he did so to show that there had been more of a crowd.’ NY Mag  reported that the NPS Twitter account that showed the actual crowd comparison: ‘The account retweeted two tweets — one about the Trump administration reportedly wiping LGBTQ, Climate Change, and Civil Rights pages from its website and one about the noticeably tiny crowd at Trump’s inauguration — that aren’t particularly flattering of President Trump.’ Then the NPS support office ordered all bureaus: ‘To immediately cease use of government Twitter accounts until further notice.’ On Trump’s first day, Spicer gave an infamous White House press briefing wherein he made the notorious false statement: ‘This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration – period.’ Featured image is a screenshot via  No related posts.

" unreliable,"GOP Hero & Lifetime Republican Resigns From Party & Blames Trump On Way Out President Donald Trump has maintained the support of his base throughout his time in office, but he’s made few — if any — real, new fans. Among those who he’s ostracized are segments of his own Republican Party, including Michael London, who’s a former leader of the GOP in Connecticut. He was elected as a Republican to the Trumbull town council five times, and for many years, he says, he served on the local GOP town committee. Now, though, he’s left the Republican Party, registering as an unaffiliated voter and explaining his decision published in the Hartford Courant . The focus of his arguments against the GOP is President Trump, but he also faults Republican leaders around the country for refusing to stand up to the belligerent businessman turned president. At one point in his piece, London explained: ‘I blame President Trump for turning the Grand Old Party into a lame, extreme right-wing group of people unwilling or unable to see the truth. But Trump is not alone in causing my disillusionment. I have had it with the state and federal branches of the Republican Party that tolerated the president’s behavior. None of our GOP candidates for governor denounced Trump. None of the leaders of Connecticut’s GOP will speak out.’ It’s true that under Trump, extreme right-wingers have come out into the open in larger numbers than they were before. It’s under the Trump administration that large numbers of white nationalists turned out to Charlottesville, Virginia, last year to host a rally that turned violent and ended with three people dead, including one counterprotester who’d been run over by a racist demonstrator and two police officers who died when the helicopter they were using to monitor the scene crashed. Trump has buttressed public displays of white nationalist fervor with policies targeting minorities. Just recently, for instance, it came out that his administration was questioning the citizenship of Hispanics living in the U.S. near the border with Mexico. That comes after other measures and proposals like the border wall and the unilateral separation of undocumented immigrant families arriving at the border seeking refuge. London commented: ‘Trump is simply the worst president our country has had — ever. He is encouraging increased pollution and disavowing the need to halt climate change. He is taking credit for a strong economy when it was the previous president (like him or not) who set the current strong economy in motion. He has separated immigrant mothers and children. He has, more likely than not, supported (or participated in) collusion with an enemy.’ Not even his allegiance to Republican economic ideals gives him enough common ground with the president to keep his faith in the GOP intact. As he continued: ‘My search for redeeming qualities falls woefully short. What about his tax cuts, some Trump loyalists will ask? Don’t you like tax cuts? Trump’s tax cuts were for the extremely wealthy.’ Trump may continue to seek to avoid the scrutiny of people like London, hiding behind his lies about his approval rating, but he can’t run from reality.

" unreliable,"FBI Releases One Sentence Rebuttal To Trump's Wednesday Tantrum & It's Fantastic No actual thinking person uses The Daily Caller, a right-wing outrage porn website with numerous debunked stories and headlines, as a credible source of anything. Yet, even with the most classified intelligence available at his fingertips, Donald Trump has been pushing one of their conspiracy theories as evidence that his former political opponent, Hillary Clinton, deserves to be prosecuted for crimes. The Daily Caller published a story claiming that inside sources confirm that Clinton’s private email server, which has been used as the source for numerous “lock her up” chants at Trump rallies, was hacked by China during her time as secretary of state under President Obama. Trump seized on the opportunity, just as he did during his presidential campaign, to promote a false narrative. Report just out: “China hacked Hillary Clinton’s private Email Server.” Are they sure it wasn’t Russia (just kidding!)? What are the odds that the FBI and DOJ are right on top of this? Actually, a very big story. Much classified information! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) Hillary Clinton’s Emails, many of which are Classified Information, got hacked by China. Next move better be by the FBI & DOJ or, after all of their other missteps (Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Page, Ohr, FISA, Dirty Dossier etc.), their credibility will be forever gone! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) The FBI has once again had to shut down these claims in a one-sentence statement to The Washington Post : ‘The FBI has not found any evidence the servers were compromised.’ The story has, predictably, been picked up by numerous other right-wing outlets and disseminated as fact. It’s no coincidence that some of those outlets include Russian media, who began reporting on the story well before Trump tweeted about it. Interesting route of this strange report Daily Caller last night reported China hacked Clinton’s server according to ‘sources’ it then got picked up by Russia’s Sputnik and now ends w Trump tweeting this citing a report. Who was the source for Daily Caller? Was it Trumps source? — Olga Lautman (@olgaNYC1211) The Daily Caller is infamous for its outrageous claims that have repeatedly needed fact-checking. For instance, they that a Brooklyn Law School professor said that the solar eclipse was racist,  saying that a “peer-reviewed” paper proved that climate change was a hoax (it was a blog post), and saying that the Clintons deliberately fed patients in Africa “watered-down” HIV/AIDS meds through their Clinton Health Initiative to save money. This is the “news” outlet that the current president of the United States is using to try to force the FBI and the DOJ to prosecute a woman who is now no more than a private citizen. 'Are they sure it wasn't the Russians?' Clinton's emails were reportedly hacked by China — RT UK (@RTUKnews) The Daily Caller claimed that “anonymous sources” from the Inspector General’s Office are the source of their claims, although the IG addressed the claims back in 2018 after Comey guaranteed that the server had never been hacked. ‘A lengthy Justice Department inspector general report released in June criticized the latter part of Comey’s statement, saying that while forensics agents could not say with 100 percent confidence that Clinton’s servers had not been compromised, they were “fairly confident” that there wasn’t an intrusion.’ There is no evidence to date that proves that conclusion was ever false.

Never mind, that those firsts have been the result of churning chaos in the White House, a stick-and-carrot approach to foreign policy, and an ego that outweighs the man who carries it. Yet, this time, the change was beyond POTUS’ control. People have protested various stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, but nothing happened. This time, however, the city decided to break with its 40-year history. It decided to approve a proposal removing Trump’s star. There were a variety of reasons for the city to approve the proposal. Vandals have defaced the country’s commander-in-chief’s star, which was very expensive to repair. In addition, the city’s council said that demonstrations around the man sitting in the Oval Office’s star have become a problem. The Hollywood Chamber tweeted: ‘When people are unhappy with one of our honorees, we would hope that they would project their anger in more positive ways than to vandalize a California State landmark. People can make a difference by voting & not destroying public property.’ The West Hollywood City Council said prior to the vote, reported: ‘Similar to how certain members of the entertainment community have been removed from the Academy of Motion Pictures, due to their actions toward women, reflecting a stance on their values by the Academy, this is an opportunity for decision-makers to take a stand on their values in support of women and against disturbing treatment of women.’ The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce released a statement after the most recent vandalism of Trump’s star on July 25, saying it hoped people “would project their anger in more positive ways.” https://youtu.be/DDmQtZfpUsw The CEO of Hollywood’s Chamber of Commerce, Leron Gubler decided to leave Bill Cosby’s star intact in 2015: ‘Once a star has been added to the Walk, it is considered a part of the historic fabric of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Because of this, we have never removed a star from the Walk.’ The five members on the city council passed the proposal unanimously. The next step will be formal letters to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, the Los Angeles (LA) City Council, and LA Mayor Eric Garcetti. The final decision rests with the Chamber. Two members of the West Hollywood council, Lindsey Horvath and John D’Amico brought the proposal to remove Trump’s star forth. They noted that the Donald’s low regard for women and his odd views on climate change as reasons to remove the star. In addition, they cited Trump tearing children from the arms of asylum seekers and leaving the Paris Climate Agreement. The city gave Trump his star in 2007 for his Miss Universe Pageant work. He was a joint owner of the Miss Universe Organization for almost 20 years. Miss USA and Miss Teen USA pageants fell under the umbrella of his organization. The most recent vandal, Austin Mikel Clay, 24, allegedly destroyed Trump’s star with a pickax. Clay was charged with one count of felony vandalism and could receive up to three years in jail for his crime. Featured image is a screenshot via . No related posts.

" unreliable,"Macron's Face When Trump Shows Up Late To Women's Empowerment Meeting Goes Viral If you were hoping for U.S. President Donald Trump’s trip to the G7 summit of world leaders this week in Canada to go by without a hitch, you’ve long had your hopes dashed. He set off to make a mark on the get together basically from the start, telling reporters before he left for Canada that he wished Russia was present for the talks and imposing tariffs on our allies around the world including some members of the G7 group itself before that. Now, one of the latest bizarre tidbits to come out of the gathering is in the form of a photo documenting the aftermath of a handshake between Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron. The two have actually shared notably bizarre handshakes in the past, with their greetings repeatedly lasting beyond a normal length and serving in Macron’s description as an opportunity for him to refuse to make even the smallest concession to Trump. This time around, at this week’s G7 summit, Macron was so passionate while shaking Trump’s hand that he left a mark, literally. The moment was shared on Twitter by a number of journalists. Chungyan Chow quipped: ‘Trump, famous for his forceful handshake, has become a victim of Emmanuel Macron. See how the French left his mark on poor Donald’s hand. Force is strong with this one.’ Trump, famous for his forceful handshake, has become a victim of Emmanuel Macron. See how the French left his mark on poor Donald’s hand.

Great frame from ⁦ ⁩ — corinne_perkins (@corinne_perkins) Macron wins the handshake game — Nick Wenmaekers (@NickWenmaekers) As mentioned already, the situation of the perpetually awkward handshakes between the two world leaders has actually been acknowledged by them in the past. Macron commented at one point; ‘One must show that you won’t make small concessions, even symbolic ones, but also not over-publicize things, either.’ At the actual G7 summit this week, after a reporter suggested the two arm wrestle, Trump quipped: ‘He’d be very tough to beat. He’s my friend. We’ve had a great relationship right from the beginning.’ Some of the notable instances before the G7 summit this week when Trump and Macron shared awkward handshakes include a trip Macron took to the U.S. earlier this year — the French president was actually the guest of honor, alongside his wife, at the first state dinner of the Trump administration — and a trip Trump took to Paris last year for Bastille Day. Tension between the two men stems from issues outside that of the tariffs Trump recently imposed, although those certainly continue to loom largely over the relations of the two countries. Other sources of the tension include President Trump having announced an intent to withdraw the United States from the Paris Climate Accord last year, a monumental agreement meant to chart the global path forward for dealing with climate change. All of the various sources of tension fit into the larger picture of President Trump seeming to look out for Trump and Trump alone while leading the United States and dealing with the rest of the world. He’s certainly already made his mark, but possible further negative ramifications of his time in office remain to be seen. Featured Image via  No related posts. " unreliable,"JUST IN: Trump Forces Cabinet Secretaries To Issue Public Statements In Support Of Him Throughout his time in office, the president has carved his own unique path for himself. Rather than stick with established principles, he has sought to upend them, for better or for worse — and, to be clear, it’s no doubt most often been “for worse.” One example of this trend is his June 2017 announcement that he intended to withdraw the United States from the Paris Climate Accord, that landmark agreement that most of the countries in the world have signed onto that dictates a global path forward for addressing climate change. Like in other instances, the president claimed that agreement to be unfairly impacting American industry, and he had his Cabinet secretaries on his side when it came to that position — or so it seemed. According to , the White House actually demanded on the day that Trump made his decision with regard to the Paris agreement public that Cabinet secretaries issue statements in support of the move. In the wake of that demand, statements were issued like one attributed to Education Secretary Betsy DeVos that she had actually had no hand in crafting. “Her” statement, for which she received scrutiny, praised the president’s “commitment to rolling back the unrealistic and overreaching regulatory actions by the previous Administration,” and it was only after that statement was released that the Education Department’s press secretary Liz Hill said that DeVos “should be made aware of” its existence. The closest the statement had previously gotten to DeVos was Josh Venable, her chief of staff, who approved it ahead of time. The rushed statement from DeVos that didn’t actually come from the Education Secretary was released after then-White House press aide Kaelan Dorr sent an email reading: ‘Cabinet Communicators!.. We need all Cabinet agencies to prep statements of support for the decision being announced at 3:00pm in the Rose Garden.’ That decision, to be clear, was the president’s announcement that he intended to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris Climate Accord. Dorr added in his above cited email that there would be “no exceptions” to his demand. Other agencies besides the Education Department to issue a statement in the wake of that include the Commerce Department, which put out a statement attributed to Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross calling the accord a “terrible deal.” White House deputy press secretary Lindsay Walters attributed the rush for statements in support of the move from across agencies to an “interagency policy process” that had underlined Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord in the first place. In the time since that supposedly interagency cooperation based decision, the president has gotten a lot of backlash for it at home and abroad. The move is one of many he has taken to earn such backlash, including, most recently, tariffs that he imposed on allies of ours around the world including Canada and the members of the European Union. What effect his actions have on anyone besides himself doesn’t often seem to matter to the president, who is continuing on down his current path without pause. Featured Image via  No related posts. " unreliable,"BREAKING: Trump Ends Top Security Position - W.H. Staffers Scramble (DETAILS) The Trump administration is continuing, as time goes on, to mold the structure of government more to its liking. As one example of this trend, the Trump EPA has moved to end a number of environmental safety regulations, although they’ve found that doing so isn’t quite as easy as ripping up a piece of paper. There is now another example of this trend from inside the Trump administration, and it highlights their tendency to ignore tangible, pressing threats to national security, like that of climate change. POLITICO this Tuesday that the administration has ended a role established under the Obama administration that consolidated authority for the nation’s cybersecurity into a single position. The position was created as a part of the National Security Council, which has newly come under the leadership of the president’s third national security adviser, the war-loving John Bolton. POLITICO obtained an email sent out to NSC staffers by Bolton aide Christine Samuelian, who wrote that “eliminating another layer of bureaucracy delivers greater ‘decision, activity, secrecy and despatch.’” The latter part of her quoted comment is taken from Federalist No. 70, written by Alexander Hamilton in 1788. Hamilton argued in that paper for the government’s executive powers to be ultimately vested in one, singular office as opposed to them being more widely distributed. For Samuelian to cite the argument is curious and noteworthy, but it doesn’t change the fact that she’s citing something drawn up hundreds of years ago in a national environment largely different from the one faced in the present day. The present national environment includes threats from foreign cyber-intrusion into our electoral systems, something that has underlined the Russia scandal that the president and his closest allies remain so up in arms about. As is clear thanks to the fact that they’re ending this cyber coordinator role, however, that concern is based as much in a desire to see the scandal go away no matter what the cost as it’s based in a desire to actually address the problem. In a time when the nation should be fortifying its cyber defenses, the Trump administration is tearing them down. Commenting on the development, top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee Mark Warner tweeted: ‘I don’t see how getting rid of the top cyber official in the White House does anything to make our country safer from cyber threats.’ Warner is not the only one to have expressed alarm at this point at the Trump administration ending the cyber coordinator role; POLITICO reports that cyber policy experts, lawmakers and former officials had all sought to get the president to keep the role intact, but his administration took a different path. The administration formerly had Rob Joyce of the National Security Agency in the role; he left his position on Friday. The shake-up is hardly the only indication that the president and his allies don’t take the Russia scandal as seriously as Americans might hope. He has repeatedly called the Russia investigation as led at the Department of Justice by Special Counsel Robert Mueller a “witch hunt” — and it is, nevertheless, continuing.

" unreliable,"Trump Launches Awake & Has Correspondence Dinner Mega-Tantrum Like A Dopey Loser Comedienne Michelle Wolf decided that her stand-up act during the White House Correspondents Dinner would not hit Trump in the typical ways. She didn’t talk about his racism, sexism, xenophobia, or even his orange skin. Instead, she focused on his endless bragging about his personal wealth and questioned the truth of it. Is it any wonder, then, that Trump went on a Twitter rant the next morning? Of course it isn’t, because of course he did. Remember when everyone at the G20 Summit about John Podesta? Trump tweeted that they were, because world leaders who met to discuss important issues like climate change and bringing peace to the world were sure to be focused on a fake scandal that Trump drummed up because he couldn’t stop talking about the election and deflecting from the real scandals surrounding him. In fact, he still hasn’t stopped talking about it even though it was a year and 98 days ago. Just like he was immediately after his inauguration, he’s also back to lying about crowd sizes. He also can’t stop talking about polls despite the fact that he’s insisted ever since the election that polls are all “fake news.” He’s resorting now to just claiming that “polls,” no specific one, have him beating Obama in job approval. Of course, none of that is true, so it’s no surprise that he won’t point to a specific one. It still eats him alive that Hillary Clinton won the popular vote and that President Obama is more beloved and respected than Trump will ever be.

" unreliable,"Trump Pauses Golf & Issues Delusional 'Earth Day' Message Like A Madman Preparing For Jail In his alternative-facts-based reality, Donald Trump poured out one of the strangest Earth Day messages ever. The president spent his first year trying to undo President Barack Obama’s executive orders protecting the environment. Now, Trump is trying to convince over 300 million citizens of the U.S. that by doing so, he was protecting the Earth. Trump had the nerve to say he was reversing “unnecessary and harmful regulations.” What he really meant was regulations that held corporations responsible for the damage they do. According to The National Geographic , the president has managed to do the following damage to the health of this planet in just one year: As a direct result of Trump’s actions, the National Parks Advisory Board resigned in protest and scientists marched on Washington, DC. The man in the Oval Office said a “market-driven economy is essential,” in his : ‘We know that it is impossible for humans to flourish without clean air, land, and water. We also know that a strong, market-driven economy is essential to protecting these resources.’ Then, 45 reasoned illogically “removing…harmful regulations” was necessary: ‘For this reason, my Administration is dedicated to removing unnecessary and harmful regulations that restrain economic growth and make it more difficult for local communities to prosper and to choose the best solutions for their environment.’   Trump has undone federal environmental regulations in favor of “economic progress.” In his upside-down down world, the man in the Oval Office insisted economic growth promoted a healthy environment. ‘Already, we are making great economic progress in concert with – not in opposition to – protecting our environment.’ Not only has Trump been erasing environmental protections as fast as his pen can write, by pulling out of the Paris climate accord, he placed us as the only nation refusing to agree to reduce carbon emissions. That does not sound like he was trying to slow down climate change. What 45 did was let China, India, and other countries pull ahead in the burgeoning environmental-friendly business, while encouraging them to keep using their polluting fuels. Trump released his Earth Day statement on Energy & Environment in full below: ‘Our Nation is blessed with abundant natural resources and awe-inspiring beauty.  Americans are rightly grateful for these God-given gifts and have an obligation to safeguard them for future generations.  My Administration is committed to keeping our air and water clean, to preserving our forests, lakes, and open spaces, and to protecting endangered species.’ ‘Economic growth enhances environmental protection.  We can and must protect our environment without harming America’s working families.  That is why my Administration is reducing unnecessary burdens on American workers and American companies, while being mindful that our actions must also protect the environment.’ ‘Rigorous science is critical to my Administration’s efforts to achieve the twin goals of economic growth and environmental protection.  My Administration is committed to advancing scientific research that leads to a better understanding of our environment and of environmental risks.  As we do so, we should remember that rigorous science depends not on ideology, but on a spirit of honest inquiry and robust debate.’ ‘This April 22nd, as we observe Earth Day, I hope that our Nation can come together to give thanks for the land we all love and call home.’ Featured Image via .

" unreliable,"Pope Francis Just Released A Message For Anti-Immigrationist Losers Like President Trump What kind of world is it when the Pope seems as though they would make a better president than the actual current president of the United States? Although obviously, the Pope remains committed to a certain set of conservative viewpoints, issued on Monday, the current leader of the Catholic Church Pope Francis laid out his vision for the world and explicitly put caring for migrants at a level of importance equal to that of opposing abortion. That puts the Pope at odds with our current president, Donald Trump, who in recent days and weeks has been increasingly vocal about his own views on migrants. He has claimed, for instance, that women in migrant groups are being raped at levels never seen before, painting individuals trying to make their way to the United States as potentially harboring dangerous criminals, but there’s no evidence for his claim. The Pope, who has clashed with the president on a number of issues in the past, isn’t impressed with those who think like the president. In an “apostolic exhortation” on the subject of holiness, Pope Francis stated as follows: ‘The other harmful ideological error is found in those who find suspect the social engagement of others, seeing it as superficial, worldly, secular, materialist, communist or populist. Our defense of the innocent unborn, for example, needs to be clear, firm and passionate. Equally sacred, however, are the lives of the poor, those already born, the destitute, the abandoned.’ It really shouldn’t be that hard to find political leaders willing to pick and choose among viewpoints without regard to partisan standards, and yet here we are. Although Pope Francis remains opposed to a woman’s right to an abortion, he has made it clear that he supports lifting up the underprivileged without regard to whether or not such a thing is ideologically convenient. The same can hardly be said for the vast majority of Republican leaders here in the United States who have gone along with the president while he’s touted incendiary views about migrants. The president has, of course, gone so far as to propose banning the adherents of an entire religion from entering the United States, although since taking office, he walked back that proposal slightly. The Pope does not support those who have chosen to ignore human rights issues in supporting Donald Trump because he aligns with them on other issues. As he put it: ‘We often hear it said that, with respect to relativism and the flaws of our present world, the situation of migrants, for example, is a lesser issue… That a politician looking for votes might say such a thing is understandable, but not a Christian.’ Other clashes between the president and Pope Francis in the past include the issue of climate change. Last year, in that light, the Pope handed off a copy of his encyclical on the seriousness of climate change to Trump. It’s worth noting that it’s quite a striking state of affairs when the leader of the Catholic Church making a simple pronouncement about the importance of human rights puts him at odds with the sitting president of the United States.

Furious The Trump administration has presented Americans with an array of issues to be concerned about. The belligerent businessman turned American chief executive has gone from threatening to ruin our relationships with foreign allies to threatening to allow the environment to go to ruins through such means as withdrawing the United States from the monumental Paris Climate Accord. In the ongoing fight to save the environment that was only made more intense by the rise of Donald Trump to power, environmental advocacy groups have now been handed a victory by a federal judge out in Montana. The Associated Press that U.S. District Judge Brian Morris has ruled that officials with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management must have options including reduced mining in the Powder River Basin on the table when making planning decisions for the area. According to Morris, failing to do so violates the National Environmental Policy Act, and the officials’ argument that they could simply take climate change into consideration when deliberating over possible individual mine expansions didn’t fly. Environmental groups had been pushing to have mining completely halted in the region, but they still praised Morris’ decision. Mike Scott with the Sierra Club commented: ‘For decades, the federal government has kept their head in the sand over the climate impacts of fossil fuel extraction on public land. This ruling is the latest example of courts forcing the federal government to be honest with the American public about how coal, oil and gas leasing is contributing to the growing impacts of climate change.’ 40 percent of the nation’s coal comes from the area in question, according to the AP, and coal from the Powder River Basin is concurrently responsible for 13 percent of all U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council. Morris did rule in favor of the Bureau of Land Management on another issue, saying that BLM planning in the area does not need to do more to offset methane emissions from oil and gas wells. Morris’ ruling, demanding that the Bureau of Land Management consider reducing coal mining during its planning for the area, comes against a backdrop of moves to undercut the environment by the Trump administration. For instance, the president announced last year that he intended to withdraw the United States from the Paris Climate Accord, although there’s more to withdrawal than a simple announcement. In the face of him moving to relax some of the formal restrictions on the U.S. contribution to climate change, other interests like Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel picked up the slack. Emanuel made his own pact formalizing a commitment to climate change that is available for mayors to sign onto. Other items that have been under attack by the Trump administration include environmental regulations like the Clean Power Plan and the Waters of the United States rule, both of which are important safety measures that Trump’s Environmental Protection Administration has moved to undo. The running theme through the Trump administration’s attacks on environmental safety regulations is that they’re too restrictive for American businesses, making the rollbacks part of the president’s broadly protectionist policy stance.

" unreliable,"Federal Court Ruins Trump's Thursday With Unexpected Ruling That Has Donald Raging Donald Trump pulled out of the Paris Accord Treaty that supports the fight against climate change in spite of overwhelming pleas from U.S. scientists, Democrats, and the general public. Those groups of people have not been able to change the president’s mind. However, a group of kids came up with a rather unique solution. It seems that the adults are incapable of protecting the nation’s children against climate change or weapons of war. Yet, the youth of America are not going to stand idly by as their world falls apart. This group of 21 young people and two environmental groups filed a lawsuit to force the U.S. government to make a greater effort to fight climate change. The case made it to the federal appeals court before the Trump administration tried to get the lawsuit dismissed. The , located in San Francisco, made its decision. The court ruled that it was too early in the process to dismiss the case, simply because the Trump administration said it would find searching for documents and questioning people, or discovery, too burdensome. The three-judge panel wrote their decision: ‘The defendants’ argument fails because the district court has not issued a single discovery order, nor have the plaintiffs filed a single motion seeking to compel discovery. Rather, the parties have employed the usual meet-and-confer process of resolving discovery disputes. The defendants rely on informal communications as to the scope of discovery — in particular, the plaintiffs’ litigation hold and demand letter — but the plaintiffs have clarified that these communications were not discovery requests.’ Featured Image via .

" unreliable,"Trump Makes Ridiculous Tariff Statement To Reporters - Humiliates Himself In Seconds The president came into office promising to put his business experience to work for the benefit of the country. What he did not emphasize, however, is the fact that there are a number of bankruptcies and failures that checker his past as a businessman, and it’s an open question what part of Trump’s experience as a businessman we are currently being subjected to as a country — the “successes” or the bankruptcies. He recently announced plans for a round of tariffs on imported steel and aluminum, a move that has sparked wide concern about an impending trade war. The stakes are enormously higher with Donald Trump as president than they were while he was a private businessman, but even in the face of concern, he’s pushing on anyway. Speaking to reporters this week at the White House, the president insisted that he has no intention of backing down from his plans for the tariffs. It’s not as though even as president he has a very illustrious record on issues of the wider foreign policy that his trade policy falls under. For example, his belligerence towards the North Koreans has given them the excuse to develop their nuclear capabilities to the point of claiming the ability to hit the U.S., and yet on that issue — and this one — the president is continuing to push on anyway. He began by suggesting that any possibility for the tariffs being relaxed is tied to the success that he perceives efforts to renegotiate NAFTA to have. As he put it: ‘We’ve had a very bad deal with Mexico, a very bad deal with Canada — it’s called NAFTA. Our factories have left our country, our jobs have left our country. For many years, NAFTA has been a disaster. We are renegotiating NAFTA, as I said we would, and if we don’t make a deal, I’ll terminate NAFTA, but if I do make a deal which is fair to the workers and to the American people, that would be, I would imagine, one of the points we will negotiate — it will be tariffs on steel for Canada and for Mexico.’ It’s true that the president has long railed against, among other trade relationships, NAFTA, having long threatened to completely pull the United States out of the agreement, despite a lack of evidence that it’s the devil he claims it to be. Other international agreements that the president has moved to withdraw the United States from include the Paris Climate Accord, that agreement reached between hundreds of countries in recent years that called for certain benchmarks to be reached in the fight against climate change in coming years. Continuing on while speaking to reporters on Monday, Trump echoed the ultra-nationalist rhetoric that he has long peddled, saying: ‘People have to understand, our country, on trade, has been ripped off by virtually every country in the world, whether it’s friend or enemy — everybody.’ Check out video of his remarks below. President Trump on and trade: “No, we’re not backing down.” Full video here: — CSPAN (@cspan) His remarks, offered while sitting alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, came after interests including Speaker of the House Paul Ryan — who is himself a Republican — expressed concern that Trump’s plans for tariffs could spark a trade war. Trump shot down these concerns while speaking to reporters on Monday, although just recently he quipped “trade wars” are good when speaking of the same subject.

" unreliable,"Top Government Scientist Resigns Suddenly Over Trump's Lack Of Scientific Integrity We are used to Donald Trump’s five and a half lies a day, but now he has taken falsehood to a new level. The U.S. government has been losing long-term top-level employees in droves. The latest to leave over ethical issues was this top scientist, and his reason is shocking. The Trump administration has been systematically dismantling all that has been good in the government. For example, the president put his ultra-conservative budget director, Mick Mulvaney, in charge of the Consumer Protection Agency, which Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) created. Mulvaney has been killing it. This is even worse. Murray Hitzman was a rising star at the U.S. Geological Survey Agency (USGS). His job was to head the agency’s energy and minerals programs. This scientist was so good, others had been considering him for the next director of the USGS. Unfortunately, he just resigned in protest. is an excuse for total morons to taunt scientists about climate change — Jack Polakoff (@JackPolakoff) Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke visited Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, which Trump just opened to oil and gas development. Backers have fought to keep the 19-million-acre environmentally sensitive preserve pristine for years. Why would he want the National Petroleum Reserve report data before it was published? Hitzman wrote in his resignation letter,  Mother Jones reported: ‘Scientific integrity is the bedrock of the Survey and must be preserved for the Bureau to properly serve the Nation. Though I understand my resignation will not change the data release, I feel that as head of the Energy and Minerals Mission Area I must register my protest of this action.’ Mother Jones wrote that the agency’s actions: ‘…fly in the face of decades of established practice and contradict written ethical guidelines—guidelines that are designed to ensure the integrity of the agency’s scientific research and prevent it from being exploited by anyone seeking an unfair economic advantage.’ The former deputy associate director of the energy and minerals program, Larry Meinert, spoke to Mother Jones about why he left the agency. He said in an email that part of the reason he left was the pressure on the scientists to violate the guidelines:  ‘That is part of the reason why I too have now left the USGS and the public service that I was proud to perform.’ Hitzman said he was leaving because the USGS was providing Interior Secretary Zinke with the sensitive data from the agency’s Alaska energy assessment. Has the Trump administration been putting a big “for sale” sign on the nation’s resources? Hitman wrote: ‘Several days in advance of the information’s public release, in contradiction of my interpretation of USGS fundamental science policy.’ Associate deputy secretary at the Interior for President Barack Obama, Elizabeth Klein, wrote in an email to Mother Jones : ‘The problem…with asserting that authority—even if it legally exists—is that the purpose of those internal USGS policies is to preserve the reputation of the USGS as a purveyor of objective science. Once you start injecting political officials into the process of developing scientific assessments, you raise serious questions about the objectivity of the science.’ Former program coordinator for the USGS’s energy resources program from 2003 to 2014, Brenda Pierce, said that the USGS people see their rules as ironclad. Before now, when politicians wanted sensitive data, the USGS convinced them that they should not ask. She said: ‘We did take (the guidelines) very seriously.

" unreliable,"Donald Trump Land In Cincinnati & Is Immediately Humiliated Beyond Belief (IMAGES) The Twitter king of the U.S. landed in Cincinnati, Ohio probably hoping to receive the welcome he has come to believe he deserves. When Donald Trump went to Saudi Arabia and China, the countries gave him an ostentatious ceremony, and France even held a military parade in his honor. Cincinnati gave him something else. After the president’s plane touched down, the progressive group For Ohio’s Future held a special rally for him. His supporters were scarce. Trump toured the Sheffer plant, where local people make hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders. His speech there was closed to the public. For Ohio’s Future is according to its website: ‘To mobilize and empower people and community-based organizations to drive real change and advance our shared agenda – this is community organizing to win!’   The group has organized to “cut through all of the noise” and: ‘Educate and engage voters on local, state, and national issues and local, state, and federal elections.’ Trump was in Ohio cheerleading the new Republican tax law, which saves him a cool $11 million a year, according to Forbes magazine. It also saves a teacher $1.50 a week, House Speaker Paul Ryan tweeted. Many politicians have this nasty habit of assuming people are stupid. They are not. That secretary blasted Ryan, according to : ‘A secretary at a public high school in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, said she was pleasantly surprised her pay went up $1.50 a week … she said (that) will more than cover her Costco membership for the year.’ After Ryan got some serious flak from his tweet for being out of touch, he deleted it. Senator Brian Schatz (D-HI) tweeted: ‘That tweet about the $1.50 a week is not a PR mistake. It is really what they think.’ Closing the Trump event to the public was probably a good idea, because Cincinnati is an urban area. Most of the Trump support came from and continues to come from the suburbs, sub-exurbs, and rural exurbs. The president also pulled in support from rural areas. Then, there are Trump’s off-the-wall comments. He is hot to give North Korea a “bloody nose,” aka a limited nuclear attack. Never mind, their president, Kim Jong Un, would return the favor. The dud Nunes Memo that was supposed to give 45 the ammunition he needed to fire special counsel, Robert Mueller. The special counsel’s investigation into Russia’s intervention into the 2016 presidential election and possible Trump campaign collaboration is closing in on Trump. Of course, people are supporting Mrs. Trump, after the man in the Oval Office’s alleged affair with a porn star became public. He had the affair when the First Lady had just given birth to their son, Barron. If there was no illicit relationship, why did Trump’s personal attorney pay” Stormy Daniels” $130,000 in hush money? For Ohio’s Future did not give Trump a parade or an elaborate show. Instead: ‘Our model is to respect, empower, and include – because we are more powerful working together. Through a robust field and digital organizing program, earned media, and expansive partnerships that empower local leaders and organizations… ‘ The group continued: ‘Fundamental to our core are progressive values, like creating shared economic prosperity, building strong public schools, addressing climate change, and supporting racial justice. What sets us apart in this hyper-political circus-like atmosphere is our ability to listen to and talk with people, not at people, and work with people, not around people.’ During Trump’s speech in the closed event, he call Democrats “treasonous” for not standing to cheer him in this video via YouTube: Featured Image via No related posts. " unreliable,"JUST IN: Attorney General Devastates Trump & Announces Immediate Multi-State Defection To call the policy moves that the Trump administration has taken since coming to power controversial would be a gross understatement. The president’s team has slashed regulations left and right, leaving corporations in control and the future of the environment in jeopardy. For instance, the administration has moved to repeal the Clean Power Plan, although the exact future of that rule could still be considered as in question. One of the other moves they’ve taken to that effect is their refusal to allow the Waters of the United States rule to actually go into effect, with the EPA having formally delayed the rule’s implementation just this week. The rule — if it was allowed to go into effect — would formally establish government regulatory control over small waterways, creating what industry interests allege is an excessive burden of compliance. Although the Trump administration is willing to cave to industry interests, other political leaders are not. In that light, the often in the news New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has now announced that — as he’s done in the case of other controversial policy moves undertaken by the administration — he will lead a lawsuit to attempt to block the EPA’s delay of the implementation of the rule in question. : I will lead a multistate lawsuit to block the Trump Administration’s reckless and illegal suspension of the . — Eric Schneiderman (@AGSchneiderman) The rule, without the EPA’s latest delay, stood to soon go into effect, since a court ruled against a past hold placed on its implementation. Schneiderman wants to attempt to ensure that the rule does, in fact, go into effect. In about the matter, he asserts he will lead a “multistate coalition that will sue to block this rollback in court,” stating: ‘The Trump Administration’s suspension of the Clean Water Rule threatens to eliminate protections for millions of miles of streams and acres of wetlands across the country. Make no mistake: abandoning the Clean Water Rule will mean pollution, flooding, and harm to fish and wildlife in New York and across the country — undermining decades of work to protect and enhance our water resources.’ The Clean Water Rule is another name for the Waters of the United States rule. EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt, who has proven controversial since the announcement of his nomination, has long made his feelings about the rule abundantly clear. He even appeared in a video produced by the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association at one point aimed at drumming up public opposition to the WOTUS rule, attracting criticism for using his official position for essentially private political lobbying. Before taking on his present position, Pruitt served as Oklahoma Attorney General, and in that position he also made his opposition to the Clean Water Rule known, suing the EPA over the measure, among other suits. It’s not as though Pruitt is a credible, competent force to be reckoned with in any of this. He claimed at one point that — despite reality to the contrary — there is “tremendous disagreement” about the impact of carbon dioxide emissions on climate change. Of course, in that respect, he’s just like his boss, who also denies the credibility of the threat of climate change. Featured Image via  No related posts.

" unreliable,"JUST IN: FCC Advisory Committee Member Abruptly Quits & The Reason Is Staggering Thanks to the rise of Donald Trump, nuances to the nation’s government that often formerly were confined to the shadows now are much more widely discussed. One of those components to the government that’s come under fresh scrutiny is the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), as led by Ajit Pai, elevated by the president from his role as member of the Commission to serve as its chairman. Under Pai’s leadership, the FCC has become widely perceived as little more than an arm of corporate telecommunications interests, and now, there’s a new figure who has made his opinions to that effect known. San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo on Thursday that he would be resigning from the Broadband Deployment Advisory Committee, or BDAC, a body formed by Pai last year to advance the cause of getting high speed internet to every American, no matter how rural the area is in which their home is situated. Liccardo explained that considering the makeup of the committee, he doesn’t believe that it can actually be perceived as going to look out for the interests of cities above those of the telecommunications industry. Liccardo, of course, has a vested interest in the cause of cities, himself the leader of a city of over one million people. In his resignation letter, Liccardo commented: ‘It has become abundantly clear that despite the good intentions of several participants, the industry-heavy makeup of BDAC will simply relegate the body to being a vehicle for advancing the interests of the telecommunications industry over those of the public.’ One of Liccardo’s examples of the corruption he says has infected the BDAC is an apparent draft plan that “included provisions to eliminate all municipal control over when, how, and whether to accept industry applications for infrastructure deployment.” That plan was apparently developed completely without actual municipal input. Apart from this incident, Liccardo has already made a national name for himself as one of the mayors to sign onto the Chicago Climate Charter, an initiative led by Chicago Mayor and former Obama administration official Rahm Emanuel which seeks to bind cities across the world to the fundamentals of the Paris Climate Accord. Emanuel established the Charter after the president announced his intent to withdraw the U.S. from that Accord, seeking to reassure the world that there are still American leaders willing to stand up against climate change. As for Pai, the most controversial aspect to his leadership of the FCC thus far has no doubt been his move to repeal net neutrality, those regulations enacted towards the end of the Obama era that mandated that internet service providers treat all internet content equally. Without the provisions in place, ISPs are free to charge content providers more than before to host their content, and they’re also free to potentially pass some of those new charges onto consumers, picking and choosing what they provide at what speed. There was massive public opposition to the FCC’s plans to repeal net neutrality, but they went ahead with their plans anyway, employing the trademark move of the Trump administration of ignoring public opinion in favor of industry interests. The Trump administration has acted in such a manner in instances ranging from the composition of EPA advisory bodies — stacked with industry interests just like the BDAC — to the tax reform plan that the president signed into law late last year.

" unreliable,"Pope Francis Issues Dire Warning About Trump's Twitter Lies & It's His Harshest Yet When someone who is in modern times as open and accepting as the Pope offers a simple statement about the power of truth vs. the potential harm of lies and it makes people wonder if he had you in mind, you’ve really gone astray. In the short time that President Trump has been in office, he has made himself known by his lies, uttering an estimated over two thousand of them so far. He makes stuff up at what seems like every opportunity, all while claiming that it’s mainstream media that’s peddling the “fake news.” No, actually, it’s the president who spreads fake news, seemingly finding it nothing to contort the truth to fit his agenda. He offers wild claims ranging from the one that the Affordable Care Act is essentially dead — a claim he’s made dozens of times — to the claims that an array of domestic investment decisions that have nothing to do with him actually did have something to do with him and were evidence of the supposed success of his policies. Pope Francis has something to say about someone who is as committed to lies as Trump is, even though he didn’t mention the U.S. president by name. The @Pontifex Twitter account posted to the social media platform on Wednesday as follows: ‘There is no such thing as harmless disinformation; trusting in falsehood can have dire consequences.’ The “dire consequences” of Trump’s endless disinformation include serious situations. For one, Trump has routinely lied about the scope of Russian interference in our electoral systems, interference that has been well documented to have been in his favor. Numerous times, Trump has attempted to downplay the impact of the meddling, if he even acknowledges it at all. That has potentially serious national security consequences. What if in a future election, the Russians — or even some other foreign power — are able to be more potent than they were in the past in their election meddling efforts? Russian hackers could do something like electronically change voting outcomes and throw entire elections into question, with Trump having spent his first term in office completely ignoring possible ways he could have chosen to address the issue. Not only has Trump refused to accept the problem of Russian election meddling, but he’s aided them in their efforts through such means as pointing to problems that don’t exist in the U.S. voting system and thus helping accomplish the Russians’ goal of undermining Americans’ faith in democracy. Other possible dire outcomes of the president’s lies are economic. For instance, he peddled the idea that the United States was the highest taxed country in the world before he got his tax reform plan passed — a plan he lied and claimed was the largest tax cut to be passed in U.S. history. In reality, that’s false, but it gave the president a basis to proceed with his plans — plans which threaten to send the economy into turmoil thanks to it being focused even more than before on maximizing profits for corporations and upper class people. Pope Francis and Trump have interacted in the past. The two have gone from trading barbs over Trump’s racist immigration policies to having a meeting during Trump’s first months as president in which the Pope sought to convince Trump of the dangers of climate change. Trump has unsurprisingly not proven receptive to Pope Francis. Check out Twitter’s response to the Pope below. Featured Image via  No related posts. " unreliable,"Democratic Senators Just Released A Report Trump's GOP Doesn't Want You To See Just because the president refuses to effectively address a problem doesn’t mean that it’s actually going to go away, and in that light, the scandal over Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election — and possible Trump team cooperation in that interference — continues to rage on. Special Counsel for the Russia investigation Robert Mueller has so far brought charges against four of the president’s former associates at this point, including most recently the president’s former national security adviser, Michael Flynn. That’s not all, though. The threat of Russian election interference continues, both here in the United States and overseas, in Europe. Senate Democrats, led by ranking Democrat on the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee Senator Ben Cardin of Maryland, have now cooperated in the production of a report on the ongoing threat to European democracies of Russian meddling. The Associated Press of the report before its official release on Wednesday, which did not boast a single Republican signatory. US Senator Ben Cardin attends a press conference at the US climate action center on November 11, 2017 during the COP23 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Bonn, Germany. (Photo credit: PATRIK STOLLARZ/AFP/Getty Images) The report details Russian election meddling operations in nineteen European nations and slams President Trump for taking essentially no strong steps to combat the threat posed by Russian information warfare. As the report puts it: ‘Never before has a U.S. president so clearly ignored such a grave and growing threat to U.S. national security.’ Trump has occasionally acknowledged that concrete evidence reveals the Kremlin’s efforts to undermine Western democracies, but to say that he has tempered those acknowledgements with assertions that there is “nothing to see here” would be an understatement. After briefly meeting with Vladimir Putin himself late last year at an economic summit in Europe, Trump told reporters that he believed the Russian leader’s insistence that his country had not meddled in our political processes. Trump, revealing himself to not only take little seriously but also to be surprisingly clueless, followed up those comments the next day by saying he’s “with our agencies” on the matter of Russian election meddling. At that moment, it was no doubt efforts to come across as a legitimate leader briefly shining through, efforts that fall entirely short when the president continuously expresses his actual dismissive opinions about matters as pressing as Russian election interference. As Sen. Cardin put it: ‘While President Trump stands practically idle, Mr. Putin continues to refine his asymmetric arsenal and look for future opportunities to disrupt governance and erode support for the democratic and international institutions that the United States and Europe have built over the last 70 years.’ Cardin’s report, besides pushing for a strong Congressional voice to pick up the president’s slack, also reveals that elections in countries as “forward” as England, France, and Germany have all been targeted by the same Russian information warfare operations that took on the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Cardin wants the president to form an interagency “fusion cell” to address the threat of Russian election interference modeled after the National Counterterrorism Center created in the aftermath of the 9/11 terror attacks. It would be beneficial for essentially all of us here in the West to have a president who would actually do such a thing, but our actual president prefers to simply ignore actual problems in the face of his desire to advance his own personal political agenda. If he really has nothing to hide, why doesn’t he cooperate with both the investigation into his team and the broader ongoing investigations into Russian meddling in Western democracies? Among the most recent developments in the Russia scandal was Senator Dianne Feinstein’s Tuesday decision to release the entire transcript of Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson’s testimony offered before the Senate Judiciary Committee late last year. Simpson’s firm helped craft the infamous “Trump dossier” and has been the subject of intense Republican scrutiny; Feinstein intended to counter Republicans’ efforts to discredit Simpson with the release of the transcript.

" unreliable,"JUST IN: Trump & GOP Furious After Senator Net Neutrality Vote Shocker Most of the policy moves taken by the Trump administration in the short time that it’s been in place have been massively unpopular among the general population, with the nation’s leaders seemingly completely uninterested in actually sticking up for the interests of the Americans that they are supposed to be representing. In that light, the Federal Communications Commission, as led by the Trump appointed Chairman Ajit Pai, moved to repeal net neutrality provisions that had been instituted in the closing years of the Obama administration. Net neutrality demands that internet service providers treat all web content equally; the fear on the part of consumers is over the question of whether or not ISPs will pass on to consumers some of the charges they are free to impose without net neutrality protections in place. Pai and his allies weren’t concerned with this fear, instead dismissing it and paving the way for the interests of ISP heads to be advanced with their decision, made official in mid-December last year, after having been first announced earlier in the year. Now, however, Democratic U.S. Senators are fighting back, with the “magic number” of 30 co-sponsors for a bill keeping net neutrality provisions intact having now been reached. Thirty co-sponsors is a “magic number,” because it means that a measure must be voted upon by the whole U.S. Senate and not simply relegated to a committee, from where it would almost certainly never return. The thirtieth co-sponsor is Missouri’s Democratic U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill, who announced her decision to co-sponsor the bill — first introduced by Massachusetts Democratic U.S. Senator Ed Markey — on Twitter.

" unreliable,"LGBTQ+ Rights Group Puts Ron DeSantis On Notice For Court Action To Undo Agenda Bipartisan Report recently had the opportunity to conduct an interview with Brandon Wolf, the press secretary for Equality Florida. Wolf’s organization advocates for LGBTQ+ rights in the nation’s infamous southeastern state, and this year, Equality Florida has been among the interests clamoring against a cascade of proposals in the state’s GOP-dominated legislature targeting LGBTQ+ communities across the state, whether in schools, healthcare environments, government buildings and the like while seeking to do something as simple as use the bathroom, and more. Wolf’s interview was broken into two parts for publication, the second of which is below. (The first part is .) Here, he discussed plans to provide supportive resources for Floridians in need, preparations for litigation over some of these sweeping proposals, and intentions for electoral challenges against politically vulnerable Republicans jumping onboard the anti-LGBTQ+ agenda. “They have to be afraid that they’re going to lose their jobs for waging war on a marginalized community,” Wolf said. Questions are listed in bold, and Wolf’s answers follow. I think community organizing is about power-building, and we’re not naive. The political climate is what it is in this moment. It’s clear that the legislature has decided it is little more than a rubber stamp for DeSantis’s right-wing agenda. But it matters when we show up. It matters when 300+ drag queens and their allies show up to the state Capitol, for instance, to protest. It matters because we’re elevating voices. It matters because we’re putting our stories, our lived experiences into the public conversation. And ultimately it matters because we’re building power inside a community that’s going to have to flex that power in the weeks, months, and years to come. I think it’s worth saying that we’ve already seen some fluctuation in policy. We’ve seen some disagreement between the Senate and the House — that’s not possible if it’s done in darkness. So the fact that we’ve been able to shine sunlight on the legislature might mean that some of these bills are narrowed in scope, and that’s a win. I also think it’s important to say that that power-building leads us toward accountability for these lawmakers. We saw that in Miami Beach when all of the movement-building we’ve been doing in Tallahassee translated into protests outside the office of [state] Representative Fabián Basabe, a Republican who ran claiming to be a moderate and has been nothing more than part of the right-wing machinery. And that turned into a mass protest at Miami Beach Pride, where he decided to ride in a car thinking he might be showered with praise, and instead was booed off the parade route. So that is the kind of community organizing and power-building necessary if we’re then going to turn around and ask those communities to show up for candidates, to show up at the ballot box, and ultimately to hold these lawmakers accountable. Well, lawmakers will not tell you that the presence of protesters in the Capitol has made a difference. But ultimately some of the things we’ve seen are on the healthcare ban that’s been proposed in both chambers. The House and the Senate are in disagreement. And so that bill continues to sit in messages, waiting to see what will happen next. Very specifically, the House wants to ban private health insurance companies from covering transgender adults, and the Senate does not want to do that. So, I think that’s one area where, again, sharing our lived experiences, telling our stories, being visible has allowed us to peek into that process and hopefully has had an impact on that policy. [Editor’s note: The restrictions on private health insurance companies were eventually kept out of the approved bill from legislators.] Another one I would mention is the bathroom ban, which it’s striking to me that it was what, 2006 that we were talking about a bathroom ban in North Carolina that ultimately threatened to derail their state’s economy. But here we are again talking about banning trans people from using the bathroom. And again, there’s some friction between the House and the Senate. The House version wants to compel private businesses across the state to essentially monitor people’s genitals to ensure they’re in the right restroom. And the Senate is not down with that. The Senate filed an amendment to their bill yesterday that would narrow the scope of where those bathroom regulations apply and not include private businesses. [Editor’s note: That limitation to the restrictions also carried over to the final bill.] So again, I don’t think Republicans in the legislature would tell you that our presence is the reason for that. But I do think that our presence matters, and our lived experiences have mattered, and certainly shining a national spotlight on the outrageous policies being considered by this state has helped to have a different kind of conversation about how those policies end up. I think number one is, we’ve got to find ways to get resources to people who need them. So I know there have been conversations already about, how do we get people access to healthcare? How do we ensure people have the resources they need in order to survive in this moment? So I think step number one will be just caring for the community, making sure they have the best information possible, connecting them with the right resources that are available. Number two is about setting up legal challenges. We know that a lot of these things will result in legal challenge. DeSantis loves to pad the bank accounts of lawyers on the taxpayer’s dime, and we’re going to see a lot more of that, I’m certain. And finally, as I said, our job is accountability. I think in this moment it’s important to understand that right-wing politicians are being driven by their own self-interest, and they’re constantly doing a cost-benefit analysis: ‘If I take this vote, will the costs outweigh the benefits?’ And up until this point, the costs have not outweighed the benefits. They’ve continued to keep their jobs; they’ve continued to keep their access to high-profile donors. They’ve continued to ascend the political ladder toward their ultimate goal. And so we have to be the accountability mechanism that changes that equation. They have to be afraid that they’re going to lose their jobs for waging war on a marginalized community. And so our task over the next year is going to be engaging people on the ground, helping to support pro-equality candidates that are going to go out and fight for us, and making sure that people know in their communities how their lawmakers have been voting, the things they’ve been prioritizing so they can make informed decisions about who gets to sit in that seat next go round.

Liz Cheney (R-WY), a conservative Republican lawmaker and the daughter of former Republican Vice President Dick Cheney, is not exactly the most popular member of the GOP these days. Although Cheney voted with Donald Trump’s agenda more than 92 percent of the time during his administration, the twice-impeached ex-president who lost the popular vote twice and tried to overturn a democratic election has railed against her, calling her a RINO (Republican in Name Only) because he doesn’t understand what the R in RINO stands for. Trump will be even less happy with her today after the vice chair of the Jan. 6 committee, an investigative body exposing Trump’s attempted coup, went on CNN’s Face the Nation with Jake Tapper to discuss the ongoing investigation. Liz Cheney on CNN: ""I think that Donald Trump, the violation of his oath of office, the violation of the constitution that he engaged in, is the most serious misconduct of any president in the history of our nation."" — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) Tapper asked Cheney about whether or not she believes Trump committed a crime with his plot to overturn the election, a plot that included pressuring state public officials to change the election results, weaponize the Department of Justice, and sending a mob to attack members of Congress. Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) has said that he believes the committee has already proven that Donald Trump broke the law, but Cheney says she’s leaving that determination up to the DOJ. Cheney said that the committee has not decided yet to make criminal referrals but that the DOJ is “focused, based on what we see publicly, on what is the the largest criminal investigation in history.” She also said that he is “unfit” and “must never again be allowed to run for office” again. ‘I think that Donald Trump, the violation of his oath of office, the violation of the constitution that he engaged in, is the most serious misconduct of any president in the history of our nation’ Liz Cheney says they’re “fully prepared to contemplate a subpoena” for Ginni Thomas — wife of Clarence Thomas — if she doesn’t come in voluntarily. Also says missing Secret Service texts are “deeply troubling” and says on to : “We will get to the bottom of it” — Manu Raju (@mkraju) Cheney was also asked about Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, who corresponded with Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows and election lawyer and fraudster JohnEastman about overturning the presidential election and pushed the strategy of having fake electors in Arizona sign false documents to declare themselves the real electors to get Trump reinstalled in office. Cheney said that the committee is “engaged with her counsel” and that she hopes Thomas will willingly testify in front of the committee. Cheney said that if she does not, the committee is “prepared to contemplate a subpoena.” ‘It’s very important for us to speak with her and…I hope she will do so voluntarily.’ Cheney on House GOP tweet attacking Sarah Matthews: ""I also think that the response we've seen from the House Republicans is really disgraceful. "" — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) Cheney also addressed the attacks on former deputy communications director for Donald Trump who currently serves as the communications director for the Republican staff on the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis Sarah Matthews, who was attacked in a tweet by House Republicans. Cheney agreed with Tapper that the right-wing attacks have been levied more on women, saying that the “attacks against some of the women witnesses have been especially vicious.” The committee’s vice chair also said that the “normal sort of vitriolic, toxic partisanship has got to stop: in light of the crisis the country faces, and bemoaned the fact that “individuals like those who are running the Republican conference who are the leadership of the Republicans in the House need to be held accountable,” and “need to understand how serious” the situation is. She called her party’s reaction to the committee and its witnesses “disgraceful.” No related posts. " unreliable,"Biden Reverses Harmful Trump Environmental Policy, In Win For Dems President Joe Biden bases his energy decisions on efficiency and sets 30-year goals. Right now, Americans still use incandescent “old-fashioned” lightbulbs for 30 percent of their lighting needs. His administration is in the process of implementing “a lighting revolution” by the end of the year. The lightning lighting rollout will save Americans $3 billion every year. In addition, it will cut “carbon emissions by 222 metric tons over the next 30 years.” will require incandescent bulbs manufacturers produce LED lightbulbs. And it will ban any of the inefficient incandescent and halogen lightbulbs The purpose is to reduce energy consumption and sever America’s attachment to the older bulbs. Doing so will dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm noted that America will use, “efficient and compact fluorescent and LED bulbs,” The Washington Post reported: ‘[Cut] carbon emissions by 222 million metric tons over the next 30 years, roughly equivalent to what 28 million homes generate annually.’ Biden administration officials estimate: ‘By raising energy efficiency standards for lightbulbs, we’re putting $3 billion back in the pockets of American consumers and substantially reducing domestic carbon emissions.’ Secretary Granholm has worked to reverse the previous administration’s non-efficiency standards for items used in most American homes. These include washing machines, dryers, and dishwashers. Then, there were shower standards that the former administration changed to give the then-president greater water pressure. Granholm closed the previous administration’s use of a loophole “allowing multiple nozzles to carry equal amounts of water at once.”  Administration officials aim to complete 100 energy-efficiency actions this year: ‘The lighting industry is already embracing more energy efficient products, and this measure will accelerate progress to deliver the best products to American consumers and build a better and brighter future.’ Secretary Granholm released a statement that read: ‘By raising energy efficiency standards for lightbulbs, we’re putting $3 billion back in the pockets of American consumers and substantially reducing domestic carbon emissions. The lighting industry is already embracing more energy efficient products, and this measure will accelerate progress to deliver the best products to American consumers and build a better and brighter future.’ The change to LEDs may have unintended consequences. For example, the lighting association The American Lighting Association requested the president postpone his standards for two years to prevent serious results: ‘[Moving away faster to LEDs, causes ] major financial losses [for lighting manufacturers and retailers and] a glut of stranded inventory, piling up at individual showrooms and eventually landfills.’ Donald Trump emotionally came down on LED lighting, because “The light’s no good.

" unreliable,"Home-State Protestors Confront Manchin For Sabotaging Democrats Protesters turned out in West Virginia over the weekend to express opposition to stances taken by Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), a member of the slim Democratic majority in the Senate. Demonstrations apparently took place at locations including a Manchin office in the state and , where activists including the Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II pushed for the Democratic Senator to cease his de facto blockade of Democratic initiatives including increasing cleaner energy usage. As activist Kai Newkirk on Saturday, “We are gathered with [Barber] and the [Poor People’s Campaign] at Joe Manchin’s office in Martinsburg, WV to call on him to repent of his greed and embrace justice. No more corruption! End the filibuster, pass a living wage, protect voting rights, heal the climate!” Americans are getting back to work at a historic pace. Over the last four weeks, fewer Americans filed initial claims for unemployment insurance than at any time in our nation’s recorded history. — President Biden (@POTUS) Assuming no Republican support, Manchin’s backing is necessary for the passage of legislation in the Senate regardless of the filibuster rules, because even though Democrats have a majority, not a single vote can be lost. The chamber is split 50-50, and Democrats are in control because of Vice President Kamala Harris’s role as a tiebreaker. Besides the energy policy concerns, the Associated Press says protesters “also urged Manchin to support legislation to lift up families living in poverty. The protest also focused on Manchin’s family business, which sells waste coal to the power plant about 90 miles (about 145 kilometers) south of Pittsburgh.” That family business operation could present a conflict of interest for Manchin when dealing with energy policy. Barber, meanwhile, remarked in part as follows amid the protests last weekend: ‘Instead of passing legislation and standing with those things that would help the climate and protect our water, [Manchin] has blocked those things… At every turn, he has chosen the money and chosen greed and chosen a kind of political meanness. When you block health care, people die. When you mess up the climate, people die.’ When people brave the cold and the rain and the West Virginia police to blockade the plant that burns Manchin’s coal – that is what hope looks like. — The Coal Baron Blockade (@WV_Rising) Arrests of protesters around the power plant apparently took place; WV Rising, a group among those responsible for weekend demonstrations, indicated that 16 people were apprehended. Manchin, meanwhile, has also stood in the way of passing new voting rights protections. When Democrats attempted to alter filibuster rules in the Senate in order to pass such protections, just two Democrats — Manchin and Arizona’s Kyrsten Sinema — voted against the proposed change, even as Republicans across the country continue to enact essentially pointless measures restricting the vote. Recently, voting rights advocates — albeit limited — victory with a federal ruling against key provisions of a Florida law that put new restrictions around the usage of drop boxes for mail-in ballots, among other things. The new rules, which were among those struck down by the judge (although appeals quickly seemed possible), would have curtailed when and how these boxes could be available in most cases, despite no evidence of widespread election fraud. HAPPENING NOW: We are gathered with and the at Joe Manchin’s office in Martinsburg, WV to call on him to repent of his greed and embrace justice. No more corruption!

" unreliable,"Biden Admin Singles Out Louis DeJoy For USPS Sabotage Well, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy is in big trouble now. He is one of the stink bombs that Donald Trump left behind to undermine the current administration and do as much damage to an agency as possible. DeJoy even has a business that is a competitor to the US Postal Service (USPS.) And he just tried to pull his biggest fast one yet. The White House and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) came down hard on DeJoy for implementing his vehicle replacement plan. The Postmaster would replace most of the department’s elderly gas-powered truck with more of the same rather than electric trucks. In a letter, EPA Associate Administrator Vicki Arroyo said that USPS’s decision was “inconsistent” with clean-energy policies at state, federal, and international levels. She sent DeJoy a letter noting that these plans were “inconsistent” Arroyo also wrote, according to ‘[The Plan is] crucial lost opportunity to more rapidly reduce the carbon footprint of one of the largest government fleets in the world…Because this is the single largest federal vehicle procurement in the foreseeable future and these investments are long-lived, a fully informed Postal Service NGDV decision on this unparalleled opportunity for the federal government to lead by example on climate and clean energy innovation is essential.’ White House Council of Environmental Quality Chair Brenda Mallory sent the Postmaster a letter, too, pointing at the USPS’ environmental analysis released after its next contract: ‘The agency committed to walk down a path before looking to see where that path was leading.’ Representative Gerry Connolly (D-VA) chairs the House subcommittee that oversees the Postal Service. He has called for DeJoy’s resignation over the issue. However, he says the USPS hasn’t been allocated sufficient funding for the more expensive vehicles. The representative demanded that DeJoy resign: ‘Postmaster Gener al DeJoy’s plan to spend billions on brand new gas-powered vehicles is in direct contradiction to the stated goals of Congress and the President to eliminate emissions from the federal fleet. If Mr. DeJoy won’t resign, the Board of Governors has got to fire him — now.’ Postal Service Spokesperson Kim Frum said that the USPS would add the EVs but only “if a solution can be found to do so that is not financially detrimental.” Frum’s statement continued: ‘[T]he Postal Service has repeatedly consulted with EPA and carefully considered and responded to all of its comments.”‘ And of course, “high costs” was the alleged reason for the Postal Service’s decision to pursue gas-powered vehicles as it replaces its fleet: ‘While we can understand why some who are not responsible for the financial sustainability of the Postal  Service might prefer that we acquire more electric vehicles, the law requires us to be self-sufficient.’ Mallory also said that the EPA believes the USPS’ environment analysis was flawed and must comply with the National Environmental Policy Act: ‘If it does not do so, Congress or the Federal courts may compel USPS to alter course.’ President Joe Biden does not have the power to fire DeJoy. A Republican-weighted panel could do that but did not. Now that the new boss is in town, he appointed a Democrat to head that panel and hold DeJoy accountable. The president made six billion dollars available to the USPS to transition to an all-electric vehicle fleet. Unfortunately, two Democratic senators killed his Build Back Better bill, where that line item was. The Republicans have long yearned to privatize the post office. So they have made it virtually impossible to manage it financially; they instituted laws to make the organization fund their employees’ retirement upfront. No other agency did that, and the USPS was never intended to be a profit-making center.  podcast, Gloria Christie reads a chapter from her book of the same title.

" unreliable,"Democrats In Arizona Unite Against Krysten Sinema To Save Democracy Over 60 women who work as Democratic activists in Arizona have signed onto a public demand for the pro-reproductive rights organization known as Emily’s List to call on Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) to reverse her stance on the filibuster. (Emily’s List is a prominent Sinema backer.) As the provisions stand, the Senate’s filibuster rules require that at least 60 Senators in the 100-member chamber agree before moving forward on most bills, and while such a demand could provide for the hypothetical bipartisanship to which Sinema talks about being committed, the reality is that these rules enable Republican obstruction. The Democratic majority can’t do what it was elected to do amid Republican blockades. In recent days, amid a renewed push by Democratic leaders to get new protections for voting rights passed at the federal level, Sinema yet again reiterated her commitment to the filibuster. In their letter, the dozens of Arizona Democratic activists who banded together against her stance ‘After a year of obstructing every major policy of President Joe Biden’s agenda by protecting the Jim Crow filibuster and opposing several key elements of the Build Back Better bill, Senator Kyrsten Sinema has demonstrated that she cares more about protecting the interests of her corporate donors rather than democracy and voters who elected her.’ The activists also referred to the filibuster in the Senate as a “racist, archaic Senate rule that stands in the way of legislation sitting in the Senate that would protect women’s reproductive rights, protect voting rights, raise the minimum wage, advance workers’ rights, act on the climate crisis, prevent gun violence, enact immigration reform, and so much more.” It’s true, of course: the fight to protect voting rights was the most recent spark for debate over the filibuster in the Senate, but a lot more is at stake. Among other points, those behind the letter opposing Sinema also said that “delay is unacceptable.” Check out the letter in full by clicking on the post below: BREAKING: On day after ’s infamous speech defending the filibuster, 70+ Arizona Democratic women leaders release this open letter calling on —Sinema’s #1 contributor—to “immediately make a public demand to Senator Sinema to support ending the filibuster.” — Kai Newkirk (@kai_newkirk) It’s not just individuals working at the grassroots level in Arizona who are opposing Sinema’s stance. Raquel Terán — the current chairperson of the Arizona Democratic Party — also going against it, saying: “We have spent countless hours organizing and listening to the people of Arizona, and what they want is change. This is not a divisive issue, this is about the future of democracy. Without the protection of voting rights, democracy fails. We are disappointed to say the least that Senator Sinema has chosen to protect an antiquated rule over her constituents.” Playbook: A person close to Democratic Rep.

" unreliable,"Hillary Clinton Rallies Democrats Celebrating Biden infrastructure Win What a remarkable time in history to be living. After four years living in the parched desert of the Republican-dominated landscape, we have begun to see what Democratic legislators and presidents can do for America. After weekly infrastructure jokes for years, our president made it so in just 10 months. Then on Friday, the House passed the transformational Build Back Better (BBB) “historic legislation.” Listen to Hillary Clinton. This is the human infrastructure bill that provides for all Americans that which has been too difficult for conservative old white guys to imagine. Women in most families have no choice but to work. Yet, they are usually the ones responsible for the children and even the home. In other words, she is doing two full-time jobs. Now, families will finally get a break. Clinton tweeted about part of what this historic bill is all about: But this is just the beginning of a new era. Now, in order for these changes to remain permanent, everyone must get out, vote, and more. We need to crush the Republican supposed lawmakers intent upon stealing back the House of Representatives and the Senate. Democrats and Independents must realize that Donald Trump is the not-so-Grand Old Party leader. And he and Senate Minority Leader Mitch “Grim Reaper” McConnell (R-KY) will do anything and everything to win at any cost, so they are playing ultra-hardball.

" unreliable,"Biden Cancels Trump By Reversing His National Park Destruction Our nation is at a crossing point. There are the big oil, mineral, and corporate interests supported by Republican legislators. Then, there are those who value the environment and their quality of life the most, they tend to be the Democratic legislators. Take the ancient Ancestral Puebloan Indian settlements at Bear Ears National Monument in Utah. Rather than leave the sacred grounds for others, some tourists and looters steal the ceramic shards. For some reason, there are those who even deface the ancient rock art. Donald Trump is one of the biggest takers in history. He stole the land for mineral interests. Now, President Joe Biden by executive order will protect the 1.36 million park acres. This will protect a “slightly larger boundary than President Barack Obama established in 2016,” according to President Biden will also “restore the 1.78 million-acre Grand Staircase-Escalante monument,” according to a statement from the White House late Thursday. In addition, he will: ‘[R]eimpose fishing restrictions in the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument off the coast of New England that Trump had opened to commercial fishing.’ Biden will use his authority given to him under the 1906 Antiquities Act to sign the proclamations on Friday: ‘By restoring these national monuments, which were significantly cut back during the previous administration, President Biden is fulfilling a key promise and upholding the longstanding principle that America’s national parks, monuments, and other protected areas are to be protected for all time and for all people.’ Bears Ears Inter-Tribal Coalition leaders sent President Biden a letter that requested “immediate action”  to protect the monument last month. It also said that “real harm, much permanent, is occurring on this sacred landscape.” Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) and other Utah officials disagreed. They released a statement that read: ‘President Biden’s decision to expand the monuments is disappointing, though not surprising. For the past 10 months, we have consistently offered to work with the Biden Administration on a permanent, legislative solution, one that would end the perpetual enlarging and shrinking of these monuments and bring certainty to their management.’ ‘Our goal has been to make lasting progress on managing our public lands for the benefit of all those who use them, particularly those who live on and near those lands.’ The slice of the Atlantic Ocean has “tremendous biological diversity.” This will protect not only tuna, sharks, and whales, but deep-sea coral among other species, according to The New York Times. Senior Research Scientist at the Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut, Peter Auster, applauded this decision, saying: ‘It has submarine canyons as deep as the Grand Canyon and undersea mountains taller than any east of the Rockies. [It is] going to allow nature to play out in the absence of significant human disturbances.’ And there were other detractors of Biden’s decision such as Saving Seafood, a seafood industry advocacy group, represented by Bob Vanasse: ‘There is no scientific justification to prohibit commercial fishing while allowing recreational fishing,” he said. “While the Biden-Harris Administration has claimed decisions will be based on science, and not on who has the stronger lobby, this decision shows otherwise.’ Biden had campaigned on rolling back Trump’s changes to Bears Ears and other monuments. Tribal activists and conservationists had become quite frustrated that the president had not yet acted. In June, Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, the first Native American to serve in that role, suggested POTUS “restore protections to the monuments.” Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) called the president’s move a “devastating blow.” Conversely, the tribes that make up the Bears Ears Inter-Tribal Coalition consider the area sacred. These include “the Navajo Nation, Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, Hopi Tribe, Ute Indian Tribe, and Pueblo of Zuni.” President Biden will restore “protections to the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument.” These include about  5,000 square miles off Cape Cod, Massachusetts: ‘The White House said that commercial fishing will be prohibited and fishing for red crab and American lobster will be phased out by September 2023. Recreational fishing will continue.’ Another campaign promise fulfilled.  podcast, Gloria Christie reads her week’s most important news/ commentary stories in the liberal online newspaper   her newsletter for people on the go.

" unreliable,"Pelosi Pulls Off Another Win With Passing Of $3.5T Infrastructure Bill We knew she could do it. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) knows her politics probably better than any other lawmaker. She was the youngest of seven children and the only girl, which gave her great training dealing with men in politics. Her father was a Democratic representative to Washington and a Baltimore mayor. Her mother was very active in politics, too. The speaker even attended John F. Kennedy’s inaugural address when he became president. So it should not be any surprise that she pulled another magnificent move in the nation’s Capitol. When it looked as if the moderate to conservative Democrats and the Progressive Caucus were locking horns, she finessed a rule that lets Democrats start work on a bill that will change the middle and working classes lives — finally. This rule lets her party start work on the $3.5 trillion social promise by President Joe Biden to take back their money from the richest of the rich, reported. It also meant the House has to take up the bipartisan Senate $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill by September 27. The House voted 220-212 along party lines, reported. House Budget Committee Chairman  (D-KY) noted that writing some sections of the text for the $3.5 trillion spending bill should be “relatively easy:” ‘But policy goals such as creating a new universal child care program will be much more challenging to craft because “you have nothing structurally to use to implement it. So those are going to be much more difficult to do.’ Pelosi said before the vote that the House must “work with the Senate:” ‘It remains for us to work together, work with the Senate, to write a bill that preserves the privilege of 51 votes in the Senate. So we must work together to do that in a way that passes the House and passes the Senate. And we must do so expeditiously.’ Congressional Progressive Caucus Leader Representative (D-WA) tweeted: ‘I’ve said it before: there’s nothing “moderate” about voting against top Dem priorities like childcare, paid leave, healthcare, immigration and climate action. The Dem base that elected these folks is overwhelmingly for the reconciliation bill.’ Majority Leader  (D-MD) helped broker the deal with Gottheimer. He said: ‘Yes, we have differences. Yes, we have different perspectives. And we’re a big-tent party. And we represent different areas of the country. But we have been able to come together and pass things that we wanted to pass. That doesn’t mean everybody’s euphoric, but it does mean that everybody has confidence that we’re moving ahead on their priorities.’ ‘But we have been able to come together and pass things that we wanted to pass. That doesn’t mean everybody’s euphoric, but it does mean that everybody has confidence that we’re moving ahead on their priorities.’ Not only that, the House will vote later Tuesday: ‘[T]he rule clears the way for the House to vote later Tuesday on legislation that would restore the portion of the 1965 Voting Rights Act that required localities with histories of voter suppression to get federal clearance before making changes to election laws.’  podcast, Gloria Christie reads her week’s most important news/ commentary stories in the liberal online newspaper   her newsletter for people on the go.

" unreliable,"Biden Cancels Trump With Reversal Of Damaging Environmental Policy After the Trump administration allowed the chemical to continue to be used on food crops, the Environmental Protection Agency is now banning the use of a pesticide called chlorpyrifos on fruit and vegetable crops. The decision, The Washington Post is designed “to protect the health of both farmworkers dispersing the pesticide and children eating produce treated with it.” The chemical — which, again, the Trump administration allowed to remain on the market for use on fruits and vegetables — has been connected to neurological problems in children. The Trump administration’s previous move to leave the pesticide available for broader use itself overturned a proposal by the Obama administration to sharply restrict the chemical. Now, the Environmental Protection Agency is returning to that previously sought standard. The pesticide can cause headaches and blurred vision if consumed, which puts farm workers at risk, and as the Post : “Some studies of families in apartment buildings found that exposure during pregnancy led to memory loss and other cognitive issues in children.” It’s telling that even a documented possibility of a link between the pesticide and serious health issues among children wasn’t enough to get the Trump administration to impose restrictions. A farmworker named Claudia Angulo spoke to the Post about her own experiences with the chemical. She connects an exposure to the pesticide that she experienced while pregnant to developmental issues that are now experienced by her son. Chlorpyrifos was even found in tests on her son’s hair. As she put it, the chemical is “affecting a lot of families. We’re all being affected, either with allergies or some with disabilities.” She added that, as a mother, she is “still struggling and won’t stop until this pesticide is not harming kids.” It’s not only telling but also troubling that it took a change in presidential administrations for the Environmental Protection Agency to ban the use of chlorpyrifos on fruits and vegetables. The GOP continues to prioritize their ideology over real-world health and safety concerns (as many Republicans’ responses to the pandemic make clear). The Biden administration — all of which essentially operates, generally speaking, on behalf of the president — has undertaken similar steps to undo dangerous policies from the Trump era. For example, the Environmental Protection Agency, which is currently led by Biden pick Michael Regan, also not too long ago that authorities would be working on re-establishing stricter protections for waterways in the United States. The Trump administration put a rule in place lessening the range of waterways under federal supervision, and the Biden administration’s aim is to essentially undo this move. No related posts. " unreliable,"Democrats Introduces Law To Guarantee Vote Within 30 Minutes Things are starting to move in the U.S. Congress. After months of negotiating, within the Democratic Party, Americans will soon see our government in action. Senator Mitch “Grim Reaper” McConnell (R-KY), his own rather gruesome nickname, already told President Joe Biden he planned on 100 percent “no” votes, just as he did to President Barack Obama. But he is wrong. As soon as President Biden was elected, the Heritage Foundation sent out its ready-made bills for state-level Republicans to undermine people’s right to vote — right at 400 of them. Ultra-conservative Republicans have long realized the only way they could win was through unAmerican, Fascist voter suppression. Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) has been working to bring legislators across the aisle to his way of thinking. At first, he was like an ice breaker ship stuck in an iceberg. But the climate of the government under President Biden’s eternal optimism for a strong working government began to melt the ice. Wednesday, voter activist, politician, and author Stacey Abrams endorsed Manchin’s list of voting rights demands. Americans have long wanted their government to work for them. Many did not realize that it was the Republican legislators who have halted everything except stuffing the courts with very conservative judges. But now they can see the difference President Biden and the Democrat legislators are making. Even some Republican legislators have started supporting change. The Brennan Center has ID’d 14 states that have made it harder to vote, swing states. Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) wrote: ‘Republican legislatures in Georgia, Florida, Texas and elsewhere are passing or considering legislation to reduce the number of polling places, decrease Election Day poll hours and make it harder to vote by mail.’  ‘In total, that make it harder for Americans to vote, and at least 389 additional restrictive voting bills in 48 states have been introduced in their 2021 legislative sessions.’ That meant, Americans will have unreasonably long lines, especially voters of color, working people, and seniors. Wyden wrote for the Brennan Center citing t ‘It’s a disgrace…studies estimate that nearly  and that   because of long lines, with Black and Hispanic communities disproportionately impacted. It’s voter suppression, pure and simple.’ ‘No democratic country should stand for a status quo where voters have to stand in line for hours. That’s why I’m introducing   to require state governments to ensure every voter has the opportunity to vote within 30 minutes, a time that a bipartisan Presidential Commission on Election Administration  should be the maximum amount of time any voter should have to wait..it institutes audits by the Election Assistance Commission to determine how many voters face longer waits. To ensure governments can meet those new rules, the bill provides $500 million to help states reduce wait times.’ The POLL Act would allow for lawsuits, automatic $50 fines for waits longer than 30 minutes, $50 for each 30 minutes thereafter, and any court costs. Wyden continued: ‘I’m working hand in hand with my Democratic colleagues on the larger package of election reforms in the For the People Act, which will come to a vote soon. I’m introducing this , because going after long lines is a simple, popular and real change that everyone in Congress, regardless of party, should support.’ Oregon has had this for ages.

" unreliable,"Biden Reveals Plan To 'Repeal Or Replace' Trump Environmental Policy The Biden administration that it plans to “repeal or replace” a Trump era provision that allowed economic development like roads across over half of Alaska’s Tongass National Forest. Obviously, expanding opportunities for industrial activities across critical stretches of forest could incur lasting damage to the environment. According to the Biden administration’s announcement, the Department of Agriculture — which is currently led by Biden appointee Tom Vilsack — is planning to publish the proposed update to the government’s approach in August of this year. Agriculture Department communications director Matt Herrick The Washington Post that the department “recognizes the Trump administration’s decision on the Alaska roadless rule was controversial and did not align with the overwhelming majority of public opinion across the country and among Alaskans.” Herrick added as follows: ‘The majority of comments recognized the important role of the Tongass National Forest and roadless areas protections to tourism, fishing, recreation, indigenous cultures and the uniqueness of the temperate rainforest. We recognize the vital role the Forest and its inventoried roadless areas play in communities, and in the economy and culture of Southeast Alaska, as well as for climate resilience.’ When in office, Trump settled upon removing the entire forest from the prohibitions against development after a meeting with Alaska Republican Governor Mike Dunleavy. After the newly announced plans to change federal guidelines, Dunleavy insisted that his administration “will use every tool available to push back on the latest imposition.” Meanwhile, the Biden administration has also suspended oil and gas drilling permits for the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge that had originally been issued by the Trump administration. That refuge, like the Tongass National Forest, is situated in Alaska, and since no oil and gas industry leaders had gotten involved in the permit distribution, most of the drilling rights to a state agency in Alaska. Each of these moves, including the updates to handling development in both the Tongass National Forest and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, are part of the Biden administration’s push to re-prioritize environmental protection after the chaos of the Trump era. Among other steps, the Biden administration plans to undo the Trump administration’s changes to federal supervision of waterways. The Trump team had sought to reduce the range of waterways that were subject to federal protection, which allowed increased opportunities for unsupervised pollution. No related posts.

The protections in question relate to water, with the Trump administration having drastically shrunk the range of waterways that were under federal regulatory supervision. That move provided opportunities for essentially unsupervised pollution in areas that had just been protected by federal authorities, but now, Environmental Protection Administration chief Michael Regan says in a new statement that authorities have concluded that the Trump team’s change is “leading to significant environmental degradation.” As such, the Biden administration “is set to toss out President Donald Trump’s efforts to scale back the number of streams, marshes and other wetlands that fall under federal protection,” The Washington Post . The Environmental Protection Administration and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will now be working on the development of new waterway protection guidelines. The Trump administration had argued that the original framework was too broad and essentially an unnecessary burden on interests like farming and construction, and with the Trump era guidelines in place, at least 333 projects “no longer require” federal water-related permits, as the Post summarizes the Biden administration’s revelations. That’s a potentially staggering scope of possible pollution that suddenly exited federal supervision. At issue in part is whether waterways that only have visible waters after, say, rainstorms should be under federal supervision. The Trump administration moved away from that idea, but Tom Kiernan, who leads an environmental advocacy group called American Rivers, insists that the “science says those streams and these wetlands are an important part of our clean-water system in the United States and should be protected.” From here, the Biden administration also must formally suspend the Trump administration’s changes to federal water protection policy, besides implementing their replacement protections. Broadly, the Biden administration has sought to prioritize environmental protection, with Biden himself having said that he wants to conserve 30 percent of the nation’s land and waterways by 2030.

" unreliable,"Electoral Challenge Against Ron DeSantis Launched In Florida Florida state Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried — who is a Democrat — has filed to run for the state’s governorship, the Orlando Sentinel ahead of an expected official announcement from Fried later in the day. In a subsequently released campaign announcement video, Fried said that she is “here to break the rigged system in Florida,” describing the current political climate in the state as “corrupt” and “anti-democratic.” Check out the announcement video from Fried below: It’s time to break the rigged, corrupt system in Florida with . That’s why I’m running for Governor. Join us at . — Nikki Fried (@NikkiFried) Fried is currently the only Democrat serving in a state-level elected office in Florida, and so far, key policy positions that she has already put forward include support for the legalization of marijuana. Currently, the substance is only legal for medicinal uses in the state of Florida, although it is legal for so-called recreational usage elsewhere in the country. In her campaign announcement video, Fried also promoted an expansion of health coverage in Florida and an increase in wages in the state. Notably, Florida voters already approved a measure to gradually raise the state’s minimum wage to $15 an hour, but in theory, Republican state officials could try to stand in the way of that. If Fried wins the Democratic gubernatorial primary race in the state, she will be running next year against current Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who is a Republican and close ally of former President Donald Trump. Fried DeSantis as maintaining “blind allegiance to an insurrectionist” and compared the DeSantis team to an “authoritarian regime.” DeSantis originally won his current position by a very small margin, less than half a percentage point ahead of his Democratic challenger, former Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum. DeSantis has been suggested as a potential Republican presidential primary candidate in 2024. Currently, there’s already one other Democrat campaigning to take on DeSantis in the governor’s race — Charlie Crist, who is himself a former Florida governor but currently serves as a Democratic Congressman. Crist, who used to be a Republican, changed his party affiliation (first to independent) as his gubernatorial tenure drew to a close. Crist actually won the Democratic nomination for the Florida governorship in 2014, and he subsequently challenged the state’s then-Republican Governor Rick Scott in the general election — but Crist about one percentage point. Scott has since moved on and won election as a U.S. Senator from Florida, and the political landscape has obviously changed in other substantial ways since 2014 as well (i.e., Trump).

" unreliable,"Jen Psaki Schools Fox News Reporter During WH Press Briefing On Monday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki disassembled a “gotcha” question from Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy, who questioned President Joe Biden’s decision to wear a mask during a recent virtual summit of world leaders. Right-wing figures like Doocy have reduced themselves to these repeated apparent attempts at “gotcha” questions, as though pointing out that the president decided to take an extra precaution when interacting with others amidst a global pandemic is somehow going to make him look bad . The right-wing partisanship is laughable. Asked why Biden was the “only world leader at the climate summit Zoom who was wearing a mask,” Psaki replied as follows: ‘Because he is sending a message to the world that he is putting in place precautions and continuing to do that as leader of the United States. And I don’t know what set-ups they all had in their countries — that may warrant some more reporting or not — but obviously he had a [press] pool there for portions, there were additional staff there, additional personnel, and that’s the sort of model that we try to keep ourselves to here.’ After Doocy followed up by referencing guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) stating that Americans can safely gather indoors with fully vaccinated people without wearing a mask or practicing social distancing, Psaki noted that the outline to which Doocy was referring was “not workplace guidance.” Doocy was misrepresenting the guidance. As she added: ‘We still wear masks around here, just like you all are wearing masks, and we wear masks in our offices and continue to abide by that until that guidance changes.’ Watch Psaki below: Fox News’ Peter Doocy tried to call out Pres. Biden for wearing a mask and Jen Psaki reminded him of the CDC guidelines — NowThis (@nowthisnews) At another point during the same briefing, Psaki pointedly dismantled an argument from right-wing reporter David Brody, who claimed that “tens of millions of people are concerned about H.R. 1 and budget reconciliation and going with that 50-vote threshold.” This claim that tens of millions of people are actively concerned about the Senate procedural move known as budget reconciliation does not seem realistic. Under budget reconciliation, the Senate can pass certain legislation with the support of a simple majority of the chamber, which frustrates Republicans in the chamber minority intent on obstruction. Psaki commented as follows after Brody reiterated his claim about procedural concern from “tens of millions” of Americans: ‘I’m not sure the polling bears that out, but I will say that the president’s view is that bringing the country together is bringing the American people together, so when I say he’s focused on bringing people together, bringing Democrats and Republicans together — he’s not talking about solving bipartisanship in this zip code here.’ Watch below: Psaki: Do you think tens of millions of people are concerned about him not meeting with Kevin McCarthy? — Acyn (@Acyn) No related posts. " unreliable,"Federal Investigation Over Stock Purchase Before Louis Dejoy Decision Requested Donald Trump jumped on the limping United States Postal Service (USPS) and tried to take it down with a chokehold. Republicans have been biting at the ankles of the USPS, trying to privatize it for decades, forcing employee benefit payments upfront, unlike any other federal agency. The country’s ex appointed Republicans to its board of governors and handed the plum postmaster job to Louis DeJoy, who owns a Post Office competitor. Representative Tim Ryan (D-OH) requested the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) investigate the $54 million purchase of Oshkosh Corporation stock. That was right before DeJoy awarded the company a rich six-billion-dollar 10-year contract. Former Capitol Hill staffer and Executive Director of the Zero Emission Transportation Association, Joe Britton tweeted: ‘ stock in advance of Postmaster DeJoy’s decision to lock into decades of burning gas? is on the case…’ ‘This contract was awarded to Oshkosh Corporation and is worth up to $6 billion. I write to pass along reports of what might be unusual trading of Oshkosh stock that took place less than 24 hours before Postmaster General Louis DeJoy publicly announced the contract decision in front of a House panel on February 23rd.’ The Postal Service, under the leadership of DeJoy and Trump-appointed governors, selected Oshkosh for the contract over  , a truck-maker that had entered a bid for a contract to replace the Postal Service’s current delivery vehicles with an all-electric fleet, according to The New York Times. Their letter continued: ‘Specifically, an over $54 million purchase of OSK, made 20 hours before Mr. DeJoy’s announcement, was brought to my attention on social media and in news reports. Additionally, it is my understanding that the OSK stock rose significantly prior to the announcement. Given the gravity and serious implications of this contract, I am writing to request that the Securities and Exchange Commission look into this issue as soon as possible.’ Workhorse was “the favorite” to win this contract Ryan said in an interview with However, Oshkosh won the bid: ‘[As the favorite to win] especially after President Joe Biden ordered the government to utilize emissions-free vehicles, Oshkosh won the bid last month with a fleet that will be mostly gasoline-powered.’ ‘It definitely stinks and needs to be looked into at the highest levels.

This contract will have consequences for decades to come and, as such, we have serious concerns it could be a wasted opportunity to address the climate crisis and the reindustrialization of our manufacturing sector.’ The legislators wrote that “DeJoy’s tenure has been a disaster:” ‘Postmaster General Louis DeJoy’s tenure has been a disaster for the American people and the USPS’s dedicated workforce. From ill-advised policies that have delayed the mail and life-saving medicines to seniors and veterans, to an utter disregard for the agency he leads.

Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), a first-term Congresswoman, might think that she’s onto something. On Twitter this Tuesday, she complained about windmills — which ex-President Donald Trump himself repeatedly targeted for some reason — and insisted that wind power isn’t so “green” after all. As she explained it, un-freezing wind turbines requires “sending up a helicopter that shoots out chemicals onto the blades,” and these helicopters, she noted, require fuel. “Keep that in mind when thinking how “green” windmills are,” she added. You know how you unfreeze frozen windmills? By sending up a helicopter that shoots out chemicals onto the blades. You need fuel for the helicopter.

What is she even doing while a member of the United States Congress that allows time for tweeting this nonsense? Somehow, her Twitter activity on Tuesday got even more mind-boggling. She posted a picture of a steak and captioned the image: “Come and take it, Bill.” She appeared to be referring to Bill Gates, the philanthropist who for some reason is a favorite target of conservative conspiracy theories. In , Gates said that “all rich countries should move to 100% synthetic beef” in order to help deal with the climate crisis, since animal agriculture, especially factory farming in particular, can seriously degrade the environment. Come and take it, Bill. — Lauren Boebert (@laurenboebert) Although there might be a level of sarcasm in Boebert’s remarks, there’s also an apparent level of seriousness. In other words, at least for Boebert, the idea that Bill Gates is going to “take” her steak appears to have joined the idea that governmental authorities are going to “take” Americans’ guns. “Come and take it” is a phrase that’s been used by certain belligerent conservatives in the past in reference to their firearms and governmental authorities. On Monday of this week, Boebert also posted some nonsense. Displaying vitriolic cultishness like that which led to the rioting at the Capitol on January 6, she said at one point that the “Democrat Party is the greatest threat America faces.” Among other posts, she petulantly asked whether Democrats will “continue their strategy of blaming President Trump for everything or… get focused on the real issues impacting Americans,” but to be clear: throughout the two years that Democrats held the House while Trump was in office, they passed numerous pieces of legislation that Senate Republicans ignored .

Among other examples, Biden reopened the Obamacare health insurance marketplace meaning that people without health insurance can get newly covered outside of ordinary open enrollment periods, ordered the review and reversal of “more than 100 Trump actions on the environment,” extended nationwide moratoriums on evictions and foreclosures, and more, . Biden is also advocating for the imminent passage of a new COVID-19 relief bill from Congress that would include measures like increased unemployment assistance and direct payments to many Americans. Notably, throughout these early stages of the Biden administration, there have been no late-night Twitter freakouts from the president, there have been no angry meltdowns from the White House press secretary, and there have been no bizarrely rambling media appearances from top officials trying to cover up for their boss’s ineptitude.

" unreliable,"Federal Judge Stops Another Trump Policy From Taking Effect This week, federal Judge Brian Morris a prior Trump administration attempt to immediately implement a restriction on the usage by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of scientific studies whose underlying data isn’t publicly available. Although the Trump administration characterized this restriction as merely a procedural rule, Morris concluded that the change was actually substantive in nature, delaying its implementation until (at least) February 5. The Biden administration recently issued a halt on pending rule changes across the government for 60 days, aiming to address those that raise “substantial questions of fact, law, or policy,” so the attempted EPA change could be entirely in jeopardy. The proposed restriction on the usage of scientific studies without publicly available underlying data could unfairly diminish the impact of efforts where data is private because of concerns like privacy. Rather than merely a procedural concern, the rule change would have punitively kept certain studies out of the EPA’s toolkit — the measure “determines outcomes rather than process,” Judge Morris . He added as follows: ‘The Final Rule’s status becomes particularly clear when one examines what it is missing—any kind of procedure. EPA itself noted in its rulemaking that it would have to issue future guidance on how the rule operates procedurally… EPA failed to show a need for urgent implementation when it took more than two-and one-half years to finalize this regulation.’ Ben Levitan, who works as senior attorney at the Environmental Defense Fund, which fought against the proposal, after the ruling: ‘The Trump administration broke the law by issuing a harmful rule to censor life-saving medical science, and broke the law again by trying to make the rule immediately effective. The Censored Science Rule weakens EPA’s ability to protect Americans from dangerous pollution, toxic chemicals and other threats.’ The attempted rule change was one of numerous incidents where the Trump administration allowed environmental protection concerns to falter in the wake of their insistence on prioritizing ideological issues. Repeatedly, they cleared the way for interests like big business without meaningfully mitigating negative impacts on the environment. Besides some of Trump’s most prominent steps like his withdrawal of the U.S. from the Paris climate accord — a move that Biden has now reversed — the Trump administration also, among other developments, entirely removed certain areas of water from federal supervision and attempted to loosen restrictions on coal facilities, although a federal appeals court that latter effort on Trump’s final full day in office.

In the poll, which is the polling organization’s first such effort following Biden’s inauguration, a full 63 percent of respondents overall said that they approved of the job that Biden is doing in office. For comparison, in the FiveThirtyEight average of approval polling from across Trump’s presidency, the ex-president never even hit 50 percent, indicating that Biden already seems significantly more popular. Trump left office with the approval of an average of a mere 38.6 percent of Americans. In from before Trump left office, only 44 percent of respondents overall said that they approved of Trump’s job performance, meaning that Biden has already soared past a recent accounting of Trump’s approval by almost 20 percent. a majority of respondents supported Biden’s work on every major issue that was presented, from the economy to the COVID-19 pandemic. Biden got his highest level of support over his handling of the pandemic, with 69 percent of respondents approving of his job performance on that particular issue. On every issue except immigration, Biden hit 60 percent approval. Biden has already undertaken an array of critical actions while in office, from rejoining the Paris climate accord to reversing the Trump administration’s planned withdrawal from the World Health Organization. The New York Times environment-focused work is on Biden’s agenda for Wednesday, when he will “create several new commissions and positions within the government focused on environmental justice and environmentally friendly job creation, including one to help displaced coal communities” and much more. Predictably, Republicans have launched complaints about President Biden’s actions, but work is moving forward — over in the Senate, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) finally relented on his demand for a pledge to preserve the filibuster, helping clear the way for the formal Democratic takeover of key Senate committees. McConnell had been blocking the formal adoption of new organization for the chamber.

" unreliable,"Judge Strikes Down Signature Trump Environmental Policy On Tuesday, outgoing President Donald Trump’s final full day in office, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit struck down a plan that the Trump administration’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) hoped to use as a replacement for the Obama-era Clean Power Plan. Predictably, the Trump administration’s rule that the court struck down provided significantly lower levels of environmental protection. The court “directed EPA to start over with a new regulatory approach after finding that the agency’s Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) rule failed to provide adequate environmental and public health protections,” Under the Trump administration’s Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) rule, the only permitted approach to lowering greenhouse gas emissions was “technological retrofits that could be applied to individual facilities,” E&E News explains, and these retrofits could inappropriately “extend the life of coal-fired power plants,” the plan’s critics noted. The court bluntly concluded as follows: ‘The question in this case is whether the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) acted lawfully in adopting the 2019 Affordable Clean Energy Rule (ACE Rule), as a means of regulating power plants’ emissions of greenhouse gases. It did not.’ E&E News the new ruling as “a resounding blow to EPA’s efforts to more strictly limit its authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act.” Originally, the Obama era Clean Power Plan “emphasized the use of lower-emitting fuels and carbon trading to meet states’ emissions targets,” the outlet explains. Besides the fundamental change in federal demands, the Trump administration’s rule also offered an extended deadline for state-level compliance with the environmental protection provisions — and the D.C. appeals court also struck down this extended compliance deadline. A push towards deregulation has been a defining feature of much of the Trump administration’s environmental action. Last year, the Trump administration implemented an updated version of the so-called Waters of the United States rule that eliminated certain areas from federal supervision, potentially creating an opening for substantial additional pollution getting into the environment. No matter the potential environmental impacts, the change was “a long-time priority for farmers, ranchers, home-builders and other industries,” — and the Trump administration consistently proved its affinity for big business while in power. Going forward, among other steps, President-elect Joe Biden has pledged to swiftly rejoin the Paris Climate Accord. No related posts. " unreliable,"Trump Administration Manages To Make Turkey Pardon A PR Failure Oh, that Donald Trump would take his own advice. Instead, he takes the advice of Carrots. Remember Carrots? He was the turkey that came to the White House two years ago. That was where the president began his descent into a vat of hot gravy. Presidents have their very own flock stock of turkeys, birds that are so dumb they will actually drown in a rainstorm. POTUS described the battle between Carrots and Peas on the page: ‘This was a fair election… unfortunately, Carrots refused to concede and demanded a recount. We’re still fighting with Carrots, And I will tell you, we’ve come to a conclusion: Carrots, I’m sorry to tell you, the results did not change. Too bad for Carrots.’ Given that no one in the office speaks Gobble, we cannot tell whether Carrots was still fiercely demanding we acknowledge that his election was rigged, too. However, it is clear that Trump is doing so. There is some word that Trump intends a quiet exit with the turkeys. When asked for a comment, the turkeys just looked at one another, puzzled. Apparently, Trump has not discussed his escape plan with the two birds. Carrots and Peas ended up at Virginia Tech’s Gobblers Rest exhibit in Blacksburg, Virginia. Veterinarians and students there in Virginia Tech’s Department of Animal and Poultry Sciences in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences watch over the pardoned turkeys.

Polls will remain open for 24 hours for Americans to vote online, between feathered candidates, “Corn” and “Cob.”’ President Trump pardoned last year’s National Thanksgiving Turkey in the Rose Garden ceremony. After the ballots were counted, Butter, won in a close vote over his competitor, Bread. The 2019 National Turkey Federation Chairman Kerry Doughty and grower Wellie Jackson accompanied Bread and Butter to our Nation’s capital from North Carolina. Both turkeys joined 2018’s contestants, Peas and Carrots, at Virginia Tech’s Gobblers Rest exhibit in Blacksburg, Virginia. There was some gossip that the two would be appearing in joke memes. Peas and Carrots came to Washington from South Dakota. They were raised on a farm under the supervision of National Turkey Federation Chairman Jeff Sveen and turkey grower Ruben Waldner. Who knew that the Presidential Flock was trained from chickhood in a number of ways. ‘[They are] acclimated to the sounds of a crowd, bright camera lights, and having to stand comfortably on a table during the presentation. The turkeys will also prepare for their visit by interacting with children and families on stops around the Huron community.’ The special turkey flock was hatched in July. That was where Peas and Carrots began their climb to stardom. They were selected to travel to Washington, D.C.: ‘The “Presidential Flock” is raised much in the same way as turkeys marketed for U.S. customers—protected from weather extremes and predators in a barn, free to strut about with constant access to water and a feed mix of corn and soybeans.’ The two 2020 candidates receive the royal treatment, first resting at The Willard Hotel, where many presidential guests stay. Historically, fowls have arrived at the White House to promote the fowl business: ‘[A]s early as the 1870s, sometimes arriving in elaborate crates and costumes. By the 1920s, the influx of these turkeys had increased so greatly that President Calvin Coolidge discouraged Americans from sending them, reported a 1923 New York Times article. Eventually, however, the tradition resumed, and President Coolidge received not only turkeys, but quail, ducks, geese, rabbits, and a deer.’ ‘The most unusual gift was a raccoon, which was not served for dinner but became a Coolidge family pet.’ The first to pardon a turkey was President George H. W. Bush to appease the animal rights activists picketing near the ceremony. The first National Thanksgiving Turkey Presentation started in 1947. That was 73 years ago.

After all the people Trump hurt with his Muslim ban and his attacks on immigrant families, some relief may finally come in the form of a series of executive orders undoing Trump’s cruelty. The Washington Post reports: ‘He will rejoin the Paris climate accords, according to those close to his campaign and commitments he has made in recent months, and he will reverse President Trump’s withdrawal from the World Health Organization. He will repeal the ban on almost all travel from some Muslim-majority countries, and he will reinstate the program allowing “dreamers,” who were brought to the United States illegally as children, to remain in the country, according to people familiar with his plans.’ Donald Trump issued 194 Executive Orders.

Trump’s work to undermine all of what makes America truly great can, even without Congress, be undone. ‘Although transitions of power can always include abrupt changes, the shift from Trump to Biden — from one president who sought to undermine established norms and institutions to another who has vowed to restore the established order — will be among the most startling in American history.’ Bernie Sanders calling on Joe Biden to unleash executive orders is my MOOD — Brett Banditelli is tired – it ain't over yet (@banditelli) The fate of the Senate, though, does present its challenges.

" unreliable,"'USA Today' Makes History With First Ever Presidential Endorsement This is “an extraordinary time in history,” according to The USA Today . It calls for actions of courage. People across the nation are braving concerns over “watchers” armed with long guns at the polls. Instead, they are exercising their patriotism and doing the one thing that can defeat Donald Trump. Americans are voting. One woman dropped out of the Trump coronavirus task force to blow the whistle on Trump and ended her career. After releasing a torrent of anti-Trump ads, The Lincoln Group members say they will never work in Republican politics again. These acts of bravery are inspiring. The USA Today newspaper editorial board has been true to the best of journalism, no bias. Yet, four years ago, they “broke with tradition” and took sides in the 2016 presidential election. They urged readers to vote against Trump. Tuesday, the paper is “making our first presidential endorsement. We hope it’s our last.” The paper described the Republican nominee as “unfit for office because he lacked the ‘temperament, knowledge, steadiness and honesty that America needs from its presidents.'” Today the editorial board “unanimously supports the election of Joe Biden, who offers a shaken nation a harbor of calm and competence:” ‘This extraordinary moment in the history of our nation requires an extraordinary response. With his plans, his personnel picks, his experience and his humanity, Joe Biden can help lead the United States out of this morass and into the future. Your vote can help make that happen.’   The newspaper wrote: ‘Will this endorsement have any effect on what you read about the presidential campaign in USA TODAY’s news reports? No. Will it cause the Editorial Board to pull its punches if Biden were to become president? Also no.’ After these four years of chaos, the board wrote: ‘We may never endorse a presidential nominee again. In fact, we hope we’ll never have to.’ Why would people vote for Trump in the first place? The paper has an idea: ‘Maybe you backed Trump the last time around because you hoped he’d shake things up in Washington or bring back blue-collar jobs. Maybe you liked his populist, anti-elitist message. Maybe you couldn’t stomach the idea of supporting a Democrat as polarizing as Clinton. Maybe you cast a ballot for a minor party candidate, or just stayed home.’ Now, the country is trying to deal with the coronavirus pandemic and a sinking economy. The board continued writing: ‘Beset by disease, economic suffering, a racial reckoning and natural disasters fueled by a changing climate, the nation is dangerously off course. We spoke to dozens of people in Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin, battleground states that helped propel Trump into the White House in 2016.’ The editorial board cited “anguish and dismay” among its readers: ‘Many declined to comment, citing a general disgust with the election or fear of speaking out publicly. While some said they were personally better off, most of those willing to talk on camera expressed anguish and dismay about the nation’s direction.’ It is  time for a change.

" unreliable,"Trump Makes Biden Gun Seizure Announcement During Crazed Afternoon Meltdown In the wake of this week’s vice presidential debate between Mike Pence and Kamala Harris, President Donald Trump rushed to Twitter to amplify some nonsense against the Democratic ticket. On Thursday, he claimed in a tweet that, among other things, Biden “will Shutdown the Economy at the tip of a hat, raise your Taxes, knock out your Second Amendment and Defund, or close, your Police.” Every single one of these four claims is a brazen misrepresentation of reality. Biden has only said that he would follow health experts’ advice on whether to close parts of the economy to thwart the Coronavirus. He has also pledged not to raise taxes on individuals making more than $400,000 a year, and he is not attempting, under any circumstance, to “knock out” the Second Amendment. He doesn’t even support forced confiscation of assault weapons if he were able to enact an assault weapons ban. Rather, he wants a national registry for the weapons still out there and the option for owners to participate in a voluntary government buyback program. Biden will Shutdown the Economy at the tip of a hat, raise your Taxes, knock out your Second Amendment and Defund, or close, your Police. The Suburbs would be next, get ready. Also, and incredibly, PACK THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT. This is not what the USA wants!!! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) On Wednesday afternoon, Trump added: ‘If a Republican LIED like Biden and Harris do, constantly, the Lamestream Media would be calling them out at a level never recorded before. For one year they called for No Fracking and big Tax Increases. Now they each say opposite. Fake News is working overtime!’ If a Republican LIED like Biden and Harris do, constantly, the Lamestream Media would be calling them out at a level never recorded before. For one year they called for No Fracking and big Tax Increases. Now they each say opposite. Fake News is working overtime! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) The topic of fracking also came up during the vice presidential debate. Pence criticized Harris for supposedly running on a platform to end fracking, but , Biden “is not running on a proposal to completely ban fracking,” period. Despite theoretically-based comments from Biden suggesting that he “was proposing to get rid of all fracking” at some point in the future, “Biden’s written  never included a full ban on fracking,” CNN notes. Insinuations otherwise are smoke and mirrors from the Trump team. Also — Biden has never proposed some kind of systematic and across-the-board tax increase on middle class and lower income Americans. On Thursday, Trump also claimed on Twitter that “Biden & Harris, after Radical Left Dem Primaries, are trying to change their stance. Pennsylvania wants Energy and Second Amendment!” Again, he is misrepresenting the facts. The Biden/ Harris ticket does not oppose the Second Amendment, period. The Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania would absolutely die without the jobs and dollars brought in by Fracking. Massive numbers! Now Biden & Harris, after Radical Left Dem Primaries, are trying to change their stance. Pennsylvania wants Energy and Second Amendment! — Donald J.

" unreliable,"Obama Returns To Lead America Since Trump Won't The skies have turned an unworldly beautiful but deadly color all along the western coast. President Barack Obama urges people to vote for the presidential candidate committed to saving the planet, Democratic candidate ticket Joe Biden-Kamala Harris. Obama sent a tweet for people to “vote like your life depends on it—because it does.” The voracious fires consume entire towns, people’s lives, and even the firetrucks as the air quality worsens. The smoke seeps into the bedrooms of homes 13 miles away as the heroic National Guard, firefighters, and emergency personnel go to battle. Mass evacuations pour a river of people away from the danger. Jody Evans evacuated in Oregon, according to She spoke about her experience: ‘Fire on both sides, winds blowing, ash flying – it was like driving through hell.’ California, Washington, and Oregon have it the worst, but nine other states are also fighting raging fires. Heatwaves and windy conditions contribute. President Obama tweeted: ‘The fires across the West Coast are just the latest examples of the very real ways our changing climate is changing our communities. Protecting our planet is on the ballot. Vote like your life depends on it—because it does.’ Oregon’s Governor Kate Brown said, according to the :: ‘[C]ould be the greatest loss of human life and property [in Oregon’s fire history].’ Thus far, there are three wildfire deaths in Oregon, three in California, and one in Washington.  The National Interagency Fire Center reports over 3.4 million acres and tens of thousands more acres are succumbing to the fires just on Wednesday. Record catastrophic events or extreme weather events are triggered by other ones as the Earth’s climate rocks its stability. Change did not start the fires. Lightning strikes and humans generally start them. Hurricanes have grown larger and more frequent. Winds generated by record cold weather conditions, melting glaciers, and rising sea levels are all a part of this wicked mix. The record cold temperatures and even snow this month in neighboring states, like Colorado, have also brought damaging winds. That led to temperatures rising to 130F in California.

" unreliable,"23 States Simultaneously Sue Trump To Protect Obama's Legacy One of the remarkable opportunities that grew out of coronavirus pandemic is that people in cities can look into the sky and see stars. That was something our country did to us over time and with great damage to these bodies, that we travel around in — the human kind. Since people have been sheltering at home, emissions have dropped 17 percent. Now, Donald Trump wants to blow that up, too. Twenty-three. states have. joined together to sue the Trump administration. It appears that POTUS and his big business buddies want to roll back President Barack Obama’s climate measures regarding fuel efficiency standards, according to These were required of automakers, and many of them disagree with the emissions rollback, but Trump doomed them in March. The ruling cut “year-over-year improvements” by “slashing standards.” These had been required so that those who build autos would reach an average of 55 miles per gallon (mpg) by 2025. Trump pulled that back to 40 mpg by 2026, which coincides with the end of Trump’s desired six-year-term. He wants to stay in office and believes the nation owes him two extra years for being mean to him. The coalition of states’ attorneys general say the commander-in-chief’s rule is in direct conflict with the existing law. NPR’s Nathan Rott commented that there were problems with the analysis: ‘That’s just one of the problems with the math the administration has used to justify this change. Even the EPA’s own scientific advisory council slammed earlier versions of the rule, saying the agency’s underlying technical analysis contained significant weaknesses.’ He continued noting that for people to come out on the good side, manufacturers must assume that people will be able to drive their cars “for 40 years:” ‘Antonio Bento, a professor of policy and economics at the University of Southern California, says that’s because the administration is cherry-picking numbers to support this rollback. For example, the EPA says this change will save thousands of lives because people will be in newer, safer cars. But to reach that number, they’re assuming a car will be driven for 40 years.’ Attorney General  for California (D) reported that his state would go to court, according to The Hill: ‘[W]ith our three best allies by our side: the facts, the science and the law.’ Those attorneys general indicated that the president’s plan would cost the American voters over $13 billion more than they would save by Trump’s action. It appeared that the White House knew this, too, because The Hill reviewed the documentation that showed those advisers with doubts about the rule. The president’s staff at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) were involved in writing the rule, but they also had significant doubts about its success. Trump ignored them. Becerra said that the administration added a citizenship question to the Census, and that helped the states win their case: ‘This is not the first time the administration has tried to hide documents in important cases.’ Rott added that the average age of cars on the road today is 12 years: ‘In fact, in today’s announcement, the EPA says the average age of vehicles on the road right now is the highest it’s ever been at 12 years. Numbers like that are sure to come up in lawsuits challenging the change. More immediately, Bento and others say, the announcement, which will lead to dirtier air, is tone deaf, given the country is dealing with a pandemic affecting people’s lungs.’ The EPA had no comment.

" unreliable,"Biden Surges Past Trump With 12 Point Increase In 2020 Poll In Virginia, presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden appears to be cruising towards a victory in the general election. In by Roanoke College, Biden nabbed the support of 51 percent of voters, while Trump only had the support of a meager 39 percent of voters, giving the Democrats a 12 percent lead in the presidential race in the state. If that kind of huge Democratic lead carries over into other states in Virginia’s vicinity, Democrats could be well on their way to a victory in November. Although Trump’s failed handling of the Coronavirus pandemic may have weighed somewhat on the dismal numbers in this latest poll, the situation does not appear to have completely changed the overall calculus of the race. In other words, Republicans still appear to be sticking by the president, although overall, a full 49 percent of respondents in the new Virginia polling indicated that they have an unfavorable view of the president. (Just 39 percent of respondents said that they view Biden unfavorably.) Roanoke College Poll Director Harry Wilson observed: ‘Events appear to be unrelated to how he is viewed in the Commonwealth. As is often true in the current political climate, the election will be decided by who turns out, and Democrats have outnumbered Republicans for the past several federal and statewide elections in Virginia.’ Overall, Trump and Biden each garnered a favorable view from 36 percent of Virginia respondents. As for job approval as opposed to favorability, Trump isn’t doing great — a full 54 percent of respondents indicated that they disapprove of the job that he is doing in the White House. Only 36 percent of respondents said that they approved of Trump’s job performance. These numbers reflect broader national trends — overall, Biden leads Trump by an average of 4.9 percent in national polling, . Biden also has leads in Wisconsin, Florida, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, all of which Trump won in 2016. No related posts. " unreliable,"Secret Conservative Funding Discovered Fueling Anti-Quarantine Protests The spontaneous protests against wearing coronavirus protective gear and for opening up businesses have been seen at hospitals and state capitols. The problem is that they are not so spontaneous after all. Ultra-conservative Libertarian billionaires have put their 30x amplified magnifying glasses to the protesters’ issues. These billionaires run their money through nonprofits and frequently buy Facebook ads that falsely state, according to The Washington Post: ‘The people are rising up against these insane shutdowns. We’re fighting back to demand that our elected officials reopen America.’ The Post wrote that: ‘A network of right-leaning individuals and groups, aided by nimble online outfits, has helped incubate the fervor erupting in state capitals across the country. The activism is often organic and the frustration deeply felt, but it is also being amplified, and in some cases coordinated, by longtime conservative activists, whose robust operations were initially set up with help from Republican megadonors.’ The Convention of States was founded to add a balanced-budget amendment to the Constitution. Now though, it has placed anti-government anti-coronavirus precaution ads on Facebook: ‘Heavy-handed government orders that interfere with our most basic liberties will do more harm than good.’ The ads have asked for a $5 donation to “support our fight.” However, what the groups really want is the individuals’ personal data. Convention of States’s president and co-founder of the Tea Party Mark Meckler said it was changed or expanded to provide a “clearinghouse where these guys can all find each other.” FreedomWorks is another Libertarian group active in the Tea Party, and it has provided an online calendar showing when the protests are scheduled. Billionaire Robert Mercer funded the Convention of States Project beginning in 2015. He has funded Acting Director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Ken Cuccinelli and Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Caron. This group also backed the Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Meckler said: ‘The major need back in 2009 was no different than it is today — some easy centralizing point to list events, to allow people to communicate with each other.’ Citizens for Self-Governance, which is the umbrella organization over the Convention of States Project, Board President of Eric O’Keefe is a longtime associate of David Koch. He helped manage Koch’s Libertarian run for president in 1980. O’Keefe resides in Wisconsin and said: ‘We’re providing a digital platform for people to plan and communicate about what they’re doing. To shut down our rural counties because of what’s going on in New York City, or in some sense Milwaukee, is draconian.’ Sociologist at Drexel University Robert Brulle’s research is about climate lobbying, He said about Koch’s involvement in anti-quarantine protesters: ‘The involvement of the Koch institutional apparatus in groups supporting these protests is clear to me.

" unreliable,"POLL: Bernie Shoots Past Competitors Ahead Of Iowa Caucus The first votes in the Democratic presidential primary race will be tallied in less than two weeks, and with that brief timespan left to go, a new poll has Senator Bernie Sanders with a resounding lead in support among Iowa Democrats. Iowans will be the first state to complete their primary contest on February 3, and according to released by The New York Times , Sanders leads his closest challenger — South Bend, Indiana’s Mayor Pete Buttigieg — by a full seven percent. Sanders scored 25 percent of the support, Buttigieg nabbed 18 percent, former Vice President Joe Biden had 17 percent, and Senator Elizabeth Warren had 15 percent. No other candidate finished with double-digit levels of support in the poll. The poll results have one dramatic shift from the last time it was taken — Sanders grew his base by 6 percent, while Warren’s fell by 7 percent. Most recently, an unsupported claim that Sanders privately claimed that a woman could not win the presidency has defined the relationship between Sanders and Warren, at least publicly. The alleged remark does not at all correlate to decades of Sanders’s public advocacy, including explicit statements that he believed a woman could surely be president decades ago. Meanwhile, Sanders has been growing his support on the national level as well. Currently, he sits in second place on average, with an average margin between him and frontrunner Joe Biden of just 6.2 percent, according to RealClearPolitics. On the national level, the only other candidate with a double digit level of support is Warren, who has 14.6 percent of the support compared to Sanders’s 22.7 percent and Biden’s 28.9 percent. Sanders has been running his campaign as the option for Americans seeking ambitious change to the status quo in D.C., which, without Sanders’s policies, has meant struggles for millions of Americans through issues like health care costs, rising pollution, and more, all while figures like Trump line the pockets of their rich friends with large tax cuts. Just this week, Sanders issued the public statement: ‘We are in the middle of a climate emergency. Our Green New Deal, which will create 20 million good-paying jobs, is the only proposal put forth by any candidate that is bold enough to address this crisis… The climate crisis is an existential threat, putting at risk our very existence. I have proposed the most aggressive, comprehensive plan to address this crisis. Why? Because we have no other choice.’ The climate crisis is an existential threat, putting at risk our very existence. I have proposed the most aggressive, comprehensive plan to address this crisis. Why? Because we have no other choice. — Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) We are in the middle of a climate emergency. Our Green New Deal, which will create 20 million good-paying jobs, is the only proposal put forth by any candidate that is bold enough to address this crisis. — Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) Based off this polling — these messages are resonating with people. In Iowa in particular, locals have been hard hit by Trump policies like his punitive trade wars, which have included harsh import taxes on goods from China that China has responded to with their own tariffs targeting American goods — including farm products. On the national level, in one recent Emerson College poll, Sanders was the only Democratic presidential candidate who beat Trump — although in most polls, most of the leading candidates do come out on top. On average, he loses to Biden by 4 percent and Sanders by 3.1 percent, according to data from RealClearPolitics. No related posts. " unreliable,"Melania Trump Publicly Shamed After Trump Attacks Greta Thunberg First Lady Melania Trump came out against bullying again in the midst of her husband doing just that. She reasonably called out one of the Donald Trump impeachment hearing witnesses, legal expert Pamala Karlan. Melania Trump believes, appropriately, that the innocent young man deserved his privacy. Yes, he does, but look at what the man who helped her create that son just did. The witness had made a pun on the Trump’s son’s name, then apologized soon thereafter, as was appropriate. FLOTUS was angry and tweeted: ‘A minor child deserves privacy and should be kept out of politics. Pamela Karlan, you should be ashamed of your very angry and obvious biased public pandering and using a child to do it.’ Many agreed with the first lady: ‘Melania DESTROYS Dem Witness After She Openly Mocks Barron Trump… RT IF YOU STAND WITH MELANIA TRUMP AND CONDEMN KARLAN’S COMMENTS…’ Trump had invited the head guy at The TIME magazine to the White House and spent most of their time together lobbying for the person of the year cover. He asked people at his rallies whether he should be “man of the year” or “person of the year.” He wanted “man of the year,” even though that would technically be half as good. In fact, he made a mockup fake TIME cover showing his face. Then, he displayed it in his resort golf stores until TIME found out and made him take it down. Instead, that honor went to the 16-year-old Greta Thunberg, the amazing environmentalist. Greta Thunberg has Asperger’s, at the most functioning, hig-end of the autism spectrum. The young woman spoke to the United Nations this year and has become the figurehead of and inspiration for the movement. The sore loser cyber-bullied the remarkable teenager, who was soon to be just two years older than his son: ‘So ridiculous. Greta must work on her Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Greta, Chill!’ OBY/GYN physician Jennifer Gunter called the president out for his attack. Dr. Gunter directed a sharp tweet at Mrs. Trump: ‘ you might want to have a discussion with your husband about treatment of children in public, I think that is a passion of yours. No?’ you might want to have a discussion with your husband about treatment of children in public, I think that is a passion of yours. No?’ Thunberg’s answer to Trump was beautiful. She changed her Twitter profile bio. It read, publication read: ‘A teenager working on her anger management problem. Currently chilling and watching a good old fashioned movie with a friend.’ In addition to her environmental message, she is an advocate for autism: ‘I have Aspergers and that means I’m sometimes a bit different from the norm.

" unreliable,"Trump Suffers 85+ Tweet Thursday Morning Mental Collapse This week, House Democrats publicly unveiled their articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, and he’s not taking it well. This Thursday morning, he freaked out with upwards of eighty-five tweets and retweets within the span of just a few hours. It seems like he touted just about everything that he could find that attempted to defend him against impeachment — although none of that changes the reality of the evidence that has accumulated against him. As ample documentation clearly shows, he attempted to exchange military aid for dirt from Ukraine on the Bidens — and now he’s getting impeached over it. He tweeted: ‘“New Polls Say Most Americans Oppose Impeachment.” @foxandfriends I did nothing wrong. This will be the first Impeachment ever where there was no crime. They don’t even allege a crime. Crazy!.. It’s great to have a wonderful subject, President Trump. Fake News like CNN & MSNBC are dying. If they treated me fairly, they would do well. Have Zero credibility!’ It’s great to have a wonderful subject, President Trump. Fake News like CNN & MSNBC are dying. If they treated me fairly, they would do well.

They don’t even allege a crime. Crazy! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) Currently, an average of 48.2 percent of Americans support impeachment, while an average of 43.5 percent of Americans oppose it, according to RealClearPolitics. On top of that — Trump’s allegation that he did nothing wrong is simply not true. Although House Dems don’t venture into direct criminal charge territory because that’s not their role, they allege obstruction of duly proceeding investigations — which is a crime. Bribery, extortion, and covert foreign election assistance are also all crimes — and things of which Donald Trump stands credibly accused. He’s got nothing. He kept tweeting anyway. This Thursday morning, Trump also complained about TIME magazine naming teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg as their person of the year. He insisted that she should “chill” — which is rich coming from the guy who holds rally after rally packed with ranting and raving about supposed coups, supposed invasions, and the like. So ridiculous. Greta must work on her Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Greta, Chill! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) In his apparent ongoing desperate attempts at distraction, he even posted about a Trump-supporting Mixed Martial Arts fighter, writing that Antifa should beware. So in other words, although Antifa does not go look for Trump supporters to affront, and they’re not even any kind of systematically organized organization — the president of the United States is fantasizing about violence against them.

" unreliable,"Pelosi Puts Reporter In His Place After Bizarre Trump Question This Thursday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) formally announced that the House would be pursuing formal articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump. While the impeachment inquiry proceeded previously, she’d said that a next step of formality was still somewhat of an open question. As she concluded her Thursday press conference, conservative reporter James Rosen shouted out a question of whether Pelosi “hates” the president that provoked a heated reaction from the leader. It’s worth noting that Trump – not Pelosi – is the one who just recently derided one of his opponents as a “maniac.” Pelosi asserted to the reporter: ‘I don’t hate anybody. I was raised in a Catholic house, we don’t hate anybody — not anybody in the world. So don’t you accuse me of any hate.’ Rosen interjected by resorting to comments from the belligerent Georgia Republican Congressman Doug Collins, who claimed that Democrats are pursuing impeachment “simply because they don’t like the guy.” Collins, to be clear, marked his own time at this Wednesday’s public House Judiciary Committee hearing by accusing the witnesses of being unprepared, complaining about the process, and other gaffes that were ignorant of the already established facts implicating the president in a scheme to exchange military aid for dirt on the Bidens from Ukraine. He’s not a credible source. Pelosi — who’d been walking away from the stage — went back to the podium, where she insisted: ‘Let me say this — I think the president is a coward when it comes to helping our kids who are afraid of gun violence. I think he is cruel when he doesn’t deal with helping our DREAMers, of which we’re very proud. I think he is in denial about the climate crisis. However, that’s about the election. Take it up in the election. This is about the Constitution of the United States and the facts that lead to the president’s violation of his oath of office, and as a Catholic, I resent you using the word hate in a sentence that addresses me. I don’t hate anyone. I was raised a way that is a heart full of love and always pray for the president, and I still pray for the president… So don’t mess with me when it comes to words like that.’ Watch: Q: ""Do you hate the president?"" : ""I don't hate anybody…As a Catholic, I resent your using the word hate in a sentence that addresses me. I don't hate anyone…So, don't mess with me when it comes to words like that."" Full video: — CSPAN (@cspan) As she indicated, Trump has at times gotten almost unbelievably brazen in his ditching of the Constitution. He has repeatedly claimed that Article II, which establishes the powers of the presidency, lets him do whatever he wants. (It doesn’t.) He’s derided the clause prohibiting presidents from accepting foreign gifts while in office “phony.” (It’s not.) He actively flaunts these and other Constitutional provisions through means like his quid pro quo scheme targeting Ukraine. He’s responded to criticism of his behavior by insisting, on the one hand, that he did nothing wrong, and topping that off with claims that those seeking to hold him accountable are mentally unfit to be in their present positions. To be clear, though, he’s the one who has lied thousands upon thousands of times since taking office and thereby seems untethered from reality — not Pelosi! No related posts. " unreliable,"Trump Just Made Water Less Safe Just To Spite Obama While the train of salacious headlines from inside the White House keeps roaring full speed ahead, they’re also continuing with their particular destabilizing policy platform. According to reporting early Wednesday, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has finally finalized a planned repeal of the so-called Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule, which was established under the Obama administration and expanded federal jurisdiction over regulating what goes into bodies of water. President Donald Trump has denounced the original rule as too restrictive on economic development. Back in December 2018, when the EPA first got their plans to dump this rule moving, agency Administrator Andrew Wheeler claimed: ‘For the first time, we are clearly defining the difference between federally protected waterways and state protected waterways. Our simpler and clearer definition would help landowners understand whether a project on their property will require a federal permit or not, without spending thousands of dollars on engineering and legal professionals.’ The provisions of the rule change would leave vulnerable land features like “many” ditches outside the realm of federal regulation. Although there’s still a chance for state authorities to step in to regulate the areas, that means that federal authorities would be taking a step back from even the possibility of looking at practices like dumping pollutants into roadside ditches. Overall, the proposed rule change “reverts standards back to the  under the Clean Water Act,” CBS notes. The Trump administration is unrolling their finalized plan to dump the hot-button waterways protection regulation without a back-up plan even in place, also according to CBS. The plan that they do eventually come up with to replace the rule they’re trying to dump is unsurprisingly considering precedent “expected to cover fewer waterways than the current one and weaken existing protections.” The original rule has attracted opposition from the kinds of corporate interests that Trump and his cronies have often allied themselves with while in office. CBS notes that the National Federation of Independent Business even sued the Obama administration over the measure. Considering precedent of concerned interest groups taking on the Trump administration’s attempts at rolling back provisions like the WOTUS rule, there are likely to be ensuing court battles over this new development in the case as well. The rule change is part of a long-running campaign from the Trump administration to erode environmental protections in the service of business. Overall, the rule changes have had sobering effects — in 2018, emissions of dangerous greenhouse gas emissions in the United States by 3.4 percent, according to a report released in early 2019 by the Rhodium Group. That means that more of the material has been spewed into the atmosphere that contributes not just to global warming but other aspects of the volatile climate unfolding as part of the ongoing climate emergency. Some of the steps that are part of this campaign include recent Trump administration challenges to California state government efforts to roll back emissions levels of cars sold there. The Trump administration argues that only the federal government has the authority to make such policy moves — and, separately, have been preparing regulation to weaken automobile emissions standards.

Trump has had a busy few months, what with all his on Congresswomen of color, followed by equally disgusting attacks on and the city of Baltimore. All of this mixed up with the mass shootings that have taken place over the last several weeks in California, Texas and Ohio, which have collectively resulted in the deaths of 34 people, and the drastic fall of our economy, caused by his trade war with China. But instead of focusing on that, Trump has been busy tweeting conspiracy theories about how the Clintons were responsible for the death of Jeffrey Epstein. You’d think the guy would get his head out of his ‘you-know-what’ long enough to concentrate on the issues at hand, and how to come to grips with making much-needed changes in how he runs his administration — focus on gun reform, etc… but no… Not Trump! No — instead, he has decided that NOW would be the PERFECT time to buy Greenland. As if we even have the money to do that… According to    and  : ‘President Donald Trump has on multiple occasions brought up buying Greenland from the Danish government and the White House counsel’s office has looked into the possibility, two sources told CNN on Thursday. ‘Trump’s interest in buying Greenland was first reported on Thursday by . The Journal reported that people familiar with the deliberations said the President has raised the issue during meetings and dinners, asking aides and listening seriously about the possibility and advantages of owning Greenland. He also asked his White House counsel to research the matter, according to two of the people. ‘Two of the people also told the Journal that Trump’s aides were divided on the issue, with some praising it as solid economic strategy and others dismissing it as a passing fancy.’ Let’s hope it’s the latter and just a “passing fancy” because Greenland is in bad enough shape as it is! Just yesterday, to study and track the rapidly melting ice sheets that used to cover the entire island. If Trump succeeds in this “passing fancy” and ends up finding a way to buy the island from Denmark, which he reportedly wants to use for its resources, can you imagine the catastrophic climate event this could cause if he gets his hands on it?! It’s a terrifying thought! ‘According to the Journal, one person described a dinner last spring where Trump told associates he had been advised to look into buying Greenland because Denmark faced financial trouble from supporting the territory. ‘”What do you guys think about that?” Trump asked the room, the person told the paper. “Do you think it would work?”‘ I’ll tell you what I think about that! I think it would be disastrous! America has access to Greenland already, as part of its defense treaty with Denmark. The U.S. military operates Thule Air Base — a missile detection base there above the Arctic Circle. Let’s just all hope that this remains the only access that we ever get.

In a climate of anti-immigrant sentiment in the highest level of government, including the question appears to be nothing more than an attempt to root out those living in the country illegally, which defeats the purpose and may end up causing inaccuracies in the counting. That would be a waste of the federal tax dollars used to conduct the survey. Of course, Trump’s team has foolishly and inexplicably claimed that including the question is a way to protect voting rights for minorities, but is anyone buying that explanation? ‘The Trump administration has insisted that the Justice Department wants responses to the question to better enforce a part of the Voting Rights Act that protects racial and language minorities against discrimination. ‘For the California ruling, U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg wrote in his opinion, however, that enforcing that civil rights law is “nothing more than a pretext designed to provide cover for the Secretary’s unexplained desire to add the citizenship question to the census.”‘ Third federal judge rules against citizenship question on 2020 census — The Daily Beast (@thedailybeast) Featured image via under a license No related posts.

" unreliable,"Ivanka Just Responded To Her Private Email Scandal Like A Spoiled Little Princess Donald Trump’s favorite child is daughter number one, Ivanka Trump. She is the epitome of entitlement, and the White House staff resents her for jumping between two very different roles when it suits her needs. Sometimes she is a top aide to the president, while at other times she is just the president’s daughter. Clearly, she believes she can play both U.S. representative around the world and naive daughter. Ivanka appeared on ABC’s Good Morning America to discuss the controversy over her using her private email account while doing White House business. She used it to talk to cabinet members and her own aides. The president’s daughter also used her private account to handle her own schedule, which could have had disastrous consequences. With “lock her up” being the chant that greets her father at every one of his rallies, surely Ivanka would have been aware of issues around emails. That chant was not directed at Ivanka, but Hillary Clinton. The president ordered his Department of Justice to prosecute Clinton, which is still illegal in America. Presidents cannot jail their political opponents. House committees investigated Clinton endlessly over the private email server she kept in her home. Yet, Ivanka claimed that there was “no equivalency” between her and the former secretary of state: ‘There really is no equivalency. All of my emails that relate to any form of government work, which is mainly scheduling and logistics … are all part of the public record. Everything’s been preserved.’ In actuality, she used her personal account and sent hundred of emails in violation of federal records rules. These rules exist for a reason. Certainly, there were plenty of bad people who could have hacked her schedule and kidnapped her, just to name one reason. Ivanka denied that what she did had any relationship to what happened to Clinton: ‘People who want to see it as the same, see it as the same. In my case, all of my emails are on the White House server. There’s no intent to circumvent. (With Clinton) there were mass deletions after a subpoena was issued. My emails have not been deleted, nor was there anything of substance nothing confidential that was within them.’ ABC asked her about the tear gassing of hundreds of migrants. She replied that “It’s devastating:” ‘It’s devastating to see the images and seeing children put at risk. It makes me angry that we haven’t been able to come together as a nation and change our laws.’ Ivanka Trump appeared confused when ABC questioned her about the president’s lethal-force order: ‘I don’t believe that that’s what he said. But his primary role as commander-in-chief is obviously to protect the nation’s borders. He has to protect our country’s security. But I don’t lethal force in this case would that is not, I think, something that anyone is talking about.’ ABC asked her to comment on 45’s “climate for hatred:” ‘I reject that. I think that he is creating policy that is going to lift all Americans. And that’s what his number one role is.’ Ivanka said she often disagrees with her father: ‘He’s my father and he’s my boss. And one of the reasons that I have such a good relationship with him in both a personal and professional capacity is because I’m incredibly candid with him. … He knows exactly where I stand on any issue.’ Check out the full interview below: . says she “frequently” disagrees with her father and says he knows where she stands on all issues: “One of the reasons that I have such a good relationship with him…is because I’m incredibly candid with him.” — Good Morning America (@GMA) Featured image is a screenshot of No related posts. " unreliable,"Trump Spazzes Out On Fed Chairman Over GM Layoffs & Declining Stock Market One of Trump’s signature defenses of every horrible remark he makes and every humiliating lack of intelligence he displays is that the economy is doing well. In fact, he even said once that it does not matter how Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation turns out because he can’t be impeached when the economy is doing well. In recent days, significant downturns in economic progress have come to light. General Motors announced the closing of several plants in the northeast, including in key Trump states from the 2016 presidential elections, Ohio and Michigan.

Trump threatens to cut subsidies for GM, and more top politics stories: — ABC News (@ABC) The rambling interview, which The Post called “wide-ranging and sometimes discordant,” Trump ranted about everyone else’s mistakes, refusing to take responsibility for the apparent decline. ‘I’m doing deals, and I’m not being accommodated by the Fed.

And I’m not blaming anybody, but I’m just telling you I think that the Fed is way off-base with what they’re doing.’ Trump's tariffs have cost GM $1 billion, forcing them to lay off 14K workers & close 5 plants.

Trump has ignored explanations that the tragedy is due to an , which means that houses were built too close to areas prone to wildfires. He’s also continued to blame “mismanagement” by the state of California despite the fact that the fire is on and could have been avoided with prevention efforts that Trump defunded.

That isn’t at all what the judge said. While the that no one has the right to access to the White House, “reporters have such rights once admitted.” He also ruled that Acosta’s right to due process had been violated, but Trump still insisted during the interview that he would revoke Acosta’s pass once again if he “misbehaves.” In new interview, Fox's Chris Wallace asks about a judge's ruling forcing the White House to restore press credentials to CNN's Jim .

" unreliable,"Ivanka Just Spilled Tea To Axios On Her Dad's Separation Of Families - Trump Is Furious Somehow, despite her having virtually no relevant experience, Ivanka Trump got and has maintained an advisory job in her dad’s White House. Her list of tangible accomplishments is short, but she still, time and time again, occupies a prominent position in the national conversation. this week, she talked down on the now concluded policy of separating undocumented immigrant families at the southern border — which, of course, does absolutely nothing to help the immigrants actually affected by the policy. She said: ‘I am very vehemently against family separation… I think immigration is incredibly complex as a topic, illegal immigration is incredibly complicated… we are a country of laws… we have to be very careful about incentivizing behavior that puts children at risk of being trafficked, at risk of entering this country with coyotes or making an incredibly dangerous journey alone. These are not easy issues, these are incredibly difficult issues and like the rest of the country, I experience them in a very emotional way.’ The original family separations policy was instituted as part of “zero tolerance” for undocumented immigrants that left undocumented adults facing criminal proceedings without regard to any actual threat they posed — and children they were with in U.S. government custody. Thousands of children were separated from their families under that policy, and some still remain separated, despite a court ordered deadline for family reunification. Children who have been held in U.S. government detention have been subjected to everything from psychotropic drugs administered without relevant consent to abuse. What Ivanka’s criticism of the policy can translate to policy-wise is not immediately clear. Her words might as well be considered to be just that — words. There’s at least one instance where she’s been reported to have had an effect on her father’s policy decisions, pushing him in 2017 to go after the Syrian government following a chemical attack on Syrian civilians. She’s also, though, failed in her rhetorical endeavors, pushing him to stay in the Paris Climate Accord, for instance, to no avail. At least one official who has an easier path to enacting a change in immigration policy relayed to Congress recently that they’d tried to stop family separations before they even started. The U.S. Public Health Service’s coordinating official for family reunifications Commander Jonathan White ‘We raised a number of concerns in the program about any policy that would result in family separation, due to concerns we had about the best interests of the child… There is no question that separation of children from parents [could lead to] significant potential for traumatic injury to the child.’ Those concerns being raised did not stop the policy from being implemented, however. We are a country of laws, indeed, as Ivanka noted, but laws can be changed. At one point recently, the Trump administration treated family separations like the law. Hiding behind that defense for maintaining a harshness towards undocumented immigrants just doesn’t work, because the law is what we make of it. She could have said, “Let’s make the nation’s laws more conducive for immigrants,” but instead, she just stuck to casting such a move as incentivizing dangerous behavior.

" unreliable,"Barack Obama Just Posted On His FB Page & What He Said Has Donald In His Feelings With the exception of a few broad criticisms of some of the more deplorable Trump policy decisions, in which he never calls out the current president by name, President Obama has stayed largely away from criticizing Trump specifically. His latest Facebook post shows, however, exactly what is on his mind in this contentious political climate. ‘I’m often asked what I’m reading, watching, and listening to, so I thought I might share a short list from time to time. There’s so much good writing and art and variety of thought out there these days that this is by no means comprehensive – like many of you, I’ll miss “The Americans” – but here’s what I’ve been reading lately. It’s admittedly a slightly heavier list than what I’ll be reading over the summer: ‘Futureface: A Family Mystery, an Epic Quest, and the Secret to Belonging, by Alex Wagner I once wrote a book on my own search for identity, so I was curious to see what Alex, daughter of a Burmese mother and Iowan Irish-Catholic father – and a friend of mine – discovered during her own. What she came up with is a thoughtful, beautiful meditation on what makes us who we are – the search for harmony between our own individual identities and the values and ideals that bind us together as Americans. ‘The New Geography of Jobs, by Enrico Moretti It’s six years old now, but still a timely and smart discussion of how different cities and regions have made a changing economy work for them – and how policymakers can learn from that to lift the circumstances of working Americans everywhere. ‘Why Liberalism Failed, by Patrick Deneen In a time of growing inequality, accelerating change, and increasing disillusionment with the liberal democratic order we’ve known for the past few centuries, I found this book thought-provoking. I don’t agree with most of the author’s conclusions, but the book offers cogent insights into the loss of meaning and community that many in the West feel, issues that liberal democracies ignore at their own peril. ‘“The 9.9 Percent Is the New American Aristocracy,” by Matthew Stewart, The Atlantic Another thought-provoking analysis, this one about how economic inequality in America isn’t just growing, but self-reinforcing – and what that means for education, health, happiness, even the strength of our democracy. ‘In the Shadow of Statues: A White Southerner Confronts History, by Mitch Landrieu A few years ago, I eulogized the Reverend Clementa Pinckney, who was slain by a white supremacist in his church in Charleston, South Carolina. And I’ll never forget something Clem said while he was alive: “Across the South, we have a deep appreciation of history. We haven’t always had a deep appreciation of each other’s history.” That’s something Mitch takes to heart in this book, while grappling with some of the most painful parts of our history and how they still live in the present. It’s an ultimately optimistic take from someone who believes the South will rise again not by reasserting the past, but by transcending it. ‘“Truth Decay: An Initial Exploration of the Diminishing Role of Facts and Analysis in American Public Life,” by Jennifer Kavanagh and Michael D. Rich, RAND Corporation The title is self-explanatory, but the findings are very interesting. A look at how a selective sorting of facts and evidence isn’t just dishonest, but self-defeating to a society that has always worked best when reasoned debate and practical problem-solving thrive.’ Obama reads books in his spare time about economic policy, spiritual growth, and historical patterns and trends. Trump reads documents. So many documents. Like many Americans, Obama’s concerns are less about Donald Trump as an individual and more about what his election to the presidency means about us as individuals. When what we care about is which groups of poor and disempowered groups of people are most responsible for their own poverty and our own rather than why less than 10 percent of American’s own such a significantly dominant amount of the nation’s wealth, we ignore the real issues and turn against one another. Trump was not the beginning of that divisive way of thinking, but he certainly latched onto it and fed it from the first days that he began his “birther” campaign.

" unreliable,"Trump CIA Pick Faces Off With Kamala Harris Over Torture Techniques - Haspel Goes Down The latest chapter in the ongoing saga of the president’s struggle to maintain a stable staff is unfolding this week, with his pick to head the CIA facing a round of questioning from the Senate Intelligence Committee this Wednesday. His pick is the agency’s past deputy director and current acting director, Gina Haspel, who has faced serious criticism for her role in the agency’s past torture program. Criticism has been so intense that she is reported to have explored the option of withdrawing her name from consideration last week. She ultimately agreed to proceed with her nomination, and this Wednesday, she faced questioning from Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) over her view of the CIA’s now defunct torture program. Harris wanted a yes or no answer as to whether or not Haspel believes the program to have been “immoral,” but she would not give one. After Haspel deflected, Harris asked her at one point: ‘Do you believe the previous techniques — now armed with hindsight — do you believe they were immoral? Yes or no?’ The president’s CIA pick responded by saying: ‘Senator, I believe that we should hold ourselves to the moral standard outlined in the Army field manual.’ Check out the video below. Haspel repeatedly declines to answer “yes” or “no” as to whether previous interrogation techniques were “immoral” — CNN Politics (@CNNPolitics) Harris pressed Haspel to that effect after she told a previous questioner — Sen. Mark Warner  (D-Va.) — that she would not, as leader of the CIA, allow it to enact a program or policy that she felt was “immoral,” no matter if it was technically legal or even a direct order of the president. She told Warner at one point that she would not “put CIA officers at risk by asking them to undertake risky, controversial activity again.” It was as an extension of that interchange that Harris pressed Haspel to reveal whether her stated hesitation to endorse a torture program was because of personally finding it to be immoral, but Haspel wouldn’t go along with that line of questioning. Pressing the potential next CIA director for her exact personal stance when it comes to torture is hardly out of place considering the current political climate. The president himself has endorsed the practice, having stated early last year that he feels that the practice “absolutely” works. More recently, the president cast the torture program that Haspel was involved in during her time at the CIA as just being “tough” on terrorists, doing so in response to criticism of his pick to lead the agency. He has also given credence in the past to the idea of punitively killing terrorists’ families. As to the question of whether or not torture “works,” Haspel told Harris that while valuable information had been gleaned from the United States’ interrogation of Al Qaeda operatives, she does not “think it’s knowable whether interrogation techniques played a role in that.” Her nomination to lead the CIA still has to make it to a Senate floor vote, where it is uncertain even if likely that she will be confirmed, considering the slim Republican majority in the legislative body. Republican Senator John McCain’s absence from the Senate while dealing with his cancer has been cited as possibly making Republicans’ pro-Haspel position more vulnerable, but even he has hardly gone blindly along with the nomination. In a March letter, McCain sought precise clarification from Haspel of her role in the torture program. Featured Image via Screenshot from the No related posts. " unreliable,"John McCain Makes Announcement That Will Make You Cry Then Stand & Cheer Even though Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) is 81 years old and battling brain cancer, he is a tremendous powerhouse. The senator added his voice to Sen. Jeff Flake’s (R-AZ) comparison of Donald Trump to the brutal Russian dictator, Josef Stalin. McCain boosted their message about the press into the stratosphere. McCain wrote in  The Washington Post   about human rights icon Natan Sharansky, who won the (President) Ronald Reagan Freedom Award. The activist received Reagan’s “strong defense of freedom” award for surviving the Soviet gulags: ‘Reagan recognized that as leader of the free world, his words carried enormous weight, and he used them to inspire the unprecedented spread of democracy around the world.’ Then, the Arizona senator pounded Trump in his  Washington Post  piece: ‘President Trump does not seem to understand that his rhetoric and actions reverberate in the same way. He has threatened to continue his attempt to discredit the free press by bestowing “fake news awards” upon reporters and news outlets whose coverage he disagrees with. Whether Trump knows it or not, these efforts are being closely watched by foreign leaders who are already using his words as cover as they silence and shutter one of the key pillars of democracy.’ ‘According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, 2017 was one of the most dangerous years to be a journalist. Last year, the organization documented 262 cases of journalists being imprisoned for their work. Reporters around the world face intimidation, threats of violence, harassment, persecution and sometimes even death as governments resort to brutal censorship to silence the truth.’ McCain survived five and a half years of torture in a Vietnam prison camp: As one of the most patriotic members of Congress, the senator called Trump out for his “assault on journalism:” ‘This assault on journalism and free speech proceeds apace in places such as Russia, Turkey, China, Egypt, Venezuela and many others. Yet even more troubling is the growing number of attacks on press freedom in traditionally free and open societies, where censorship in the name of national security is becoming more common. Britain passed a surveillance law that experts warn chills free speech, and countries from France to Germany are looking to do the same. In Malta, a prominent journalist was brutally murdered in October after uncovering systemic government corruption. In Poland, an independent news outlet was fined (later rescinded) nearly half a million dollars for broadcasting images of an anti-government protest.’ Then, the lone Republican voice who voted repealing ObamaCare with a thumb down, called the sitting president “hypocritical:” ‘Unfortunately, the Trump administration’s attitude toward such behavior has been inconsistent at best and hypocritical at worst. While administration officials often condemn violence against reporters abroad, Trump continues his unrelenting attacks on the integrity of American journalists and news outlets. This has provided cover for repressive regimes to follow suit. The phrase “fake news” — granted legitimacy by an American president — is being used by autocrats to silence reporters, undermine political opponents, stave off media scrutiny and mislead citizens. CPJ documented 21 cases in 2017 in which journalists were jailed on “fake news” charges.’ McCain has been the perfect example of honor and integrity. He continued: ‘Trump’s attempts to undermine the free press also make it more difficult to hold repressive governments accountable. For decades, dissidents and human rights advocates have relied on independent investigations into government corruption to further their fight for freedom. But constant cries of “fake news” undercut this type of reporting and strip activists of one of their most powerful tools of dissent.’ ‘This week we’ll debate everything from the budget to immigration. We’re also likely to hear more attacks on the free press. As a fmr reporter’s daughter, I know how important accurate/uncensored journalism is to our democracy & I won’t let these attacks stand.

Without strong leadership in the White House, Congress must commit to protecting independent journalism, preserving an open and free media environment, and defending the fundamental right to freedom of opinion and expression. ‘We can do this by encouraging our partners and allies to review their laws and practices, including the abuse of defamation and anti-terrorism laws, to better protect press freedom and ensure that they do not unduly shrink the space for free speech. We can authorize U.S. foreign assistance to support independent media outlets and programs that create greater media pluralism. We can do more to foster conditions in which freedom of expression and information can thrive, including working to change increasingly political attitudes toward journalism. And we can condemn violence against journalists, denounce censorship and support dissidents and activists as they seek to speak the truth.’ McCain played to the public’s better angels: ‘Ultimately, freedom of information is critical for a democracy to succeed. We become better, stronger and more effective societies by having an informed and engaged public that pushes policymakers to best represent not only our interests but also our values. Journalists play a major role in the promotion and protection of democracy and our unalienable rights, and they must be able to do their jobs freely. Only truth and transparency can guarantee freedom.’ Thank you, John McCain. Featured Image via  No related posts. " unreliable,"Trump Just Made An Iran Deal Announcement To Netanyahu That Has The Nation Rocked The president has long established his independence when it comes to foreign policy at this point. He has not only charted out a path forward for the United States where it is alone; he has also charted a path for himself where he too is alone. Instead of attaching either himself or his administration to any established norms of doing global political business, he has chosen to buck norms, for better or for worse. One of the examples of this tendency is his announced plans to withdraw from the landmark Iran Nuclear Deal if his demands for changing the deal are not met. The deal included sanctions relief in exchange for the Iranians taking concrete steps to scale back their nuclear program, but it’s not enough for the president. The deadline he has given negotiators to come up with a new deal is May 12th. Now, , there is yet another reason to believe that he will not go back on his promise to withdraw from the deal if his demands are not met. According to two senior Israeli officials speaking to Barak Ravid of Israel’s Channel 10 news, during Trump’s recent meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he reiterated his commitment to withdrawing from the Iran Deal if his demands are not met. According to Ravid’s report, published in Axios: ‘The officials say Trump told Netanyahu that until now the three European powers only proposed “cosmetic changes” that he doesn’t find satisfactory. Trump said he demands “significant changes” in the Iran deal itself and not simply the addition of a supplemental agreement between the U.S. and the European countries, according to the officials.’ Trump certainly has an ally in Netanyahu on this issue. The embattled Israeli PM, who has faced corruption allegations culminating in a recommendation from Israeli police for him to be indicted, has long clamored against the deal. The concessions made for the Iranians by the West are too much for the Israeli PM — and for President Trump. Trump’s demands for the deal include for a change in “the timeliness of inspections at Iran’s nuclear sites and the “sunset clauses” in the nuclear deal that critics worry will allow Iran to return to its nuclear activities after a period of time,” in the It’s ironic for Trump to be against the “sunset clauses” in the deal when he had no problem signing tax cuts into law late last year that have an expiration date. Trump has also, in the past, pushed for an additional side agreement with our European allies that would establish “triggers” that would spark sanctions being re-imposed against the Iranians in the event of their conditions being met. An official speaking to CNN stated that the triggers “would be aimed at ensuring Iran’s nuclear capabilities remain at more than one year from obtaining a nuclear weapon.” Whether the president will get his wishes remains to be seen. Ravid notes that there have been two recent rounds of talks over the deal involving representatives from the United States, France, Germany and the U.K., and there will be another one soon. The case of the Iran Nuclear Deal — known more properly as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action — is not the first time that the president has moved to withdraw the United States from a major international agreement. He also moved to withdraw us from the Paris Climate Accord, claiming that it didn’t do enough to protect American interests. Featured Image via  No related posts. " unreliable,"Supreme Court Makes Unanimous Ruling Against Trump And It's Awesome Before the Trump administration finally found itself able to claim a significant legislative victory because of the tax reform plan in late 2017, the president marked his time in office by presiding over the shredding of as much pre-existing regulation as possible, no matter the cost. One of the regulations up for the chopping block was the Waters of the United States rule, an Obama era move that formally extended the government’s authority to curtail pollution to small waterways. The original move proved controversial among industry interests because of the cost of complying with the regulations. In the aftermath of the rule’s implementation, interests in the matter brought dozens of lawsuits against the government, and in one of them, the Supreme Court has just unanimously ruled against the government — in other words, against the Trump administration. The ruling is not on the merits of the rule itself, but rather on the proper court for hearing challenges to the rule in question. The Trump administration has asserted that courts of appeals are the proper venue for such challenges, while industry interests have insisted that district courts are the proper venue. The Supreme Court has now ruled unanimously in favor of industry interests in this case. National Mining Association President and CEO Hal Quinn was thrilled with the outcome, : ‘[The] unanimous Supreme Court decision provides much needed clarity and affirms our longstanding position that the Clean Water Act empowers the federal district courts, not the courts of appeals, to initially review legal challenges to the Waters of the U.S. Rule… This win, coupled with the administration’s actions in proposing to repeal the rule and seek input on how to properly define ‘waters of the U.S.,’ puts us one step closer to addressing this deeply problematic rule and the confusion it has created.’ The administration’s apparent legal incompetence on the matter of the Waters of the U.S. rule underscores an important point — Trump and his allies have proven themselves to be at least as concerned with industry interests as they are with protecting the environment. The fact of them not, apparently, knowing what they’re doing in this case correlates with a lack of concern. The most infamous example of this apparent preference on the part of the Trump administration is the president’s abrupt announcement that he would be pulling the U.S. out of the Paris Climate Accord last year. It is worth noting, however, that it requires more to pull the U.S. out of the accord than a single belligerent announcement from the president. More recently, the Trump administration moved to open up offshore drilling around essentially the entire U.S., from California to Florida, a move immediately met with widespread criticism. It remains to be seen how the rule change is implemented, if at all, and there has been talk of Florida being made exempt from the administration’s plans, although that’s not certain. What is certain, however, are the Trump administration’s plans to prioritize U.S. business interests over other interests that the president is supposed to be looking out for as the leader of the country, indicated in everything from the president’s tax policy to his environmental policy.

In Poland, an independent news outlet was fined (later rescinded) nearly half a million dollars for broadcasting images of an anti-government protest.’ Then, the lone Republican voice who voted repealing ObamaCare with a thumbs down, called the sitting president “hypocritical:” ‘Unfortunately, the Trump administration’s attitude toward such behavior has been inconsistent at best and hypocritical at worst. While administration officials often condemn violence against reporters abroad, Trump continues his unrelenting attacks on the integrity of American journalists and news outlets. This has provided cover for repressive regimes to follow suit. The phrase “fake news” — granted legitimacy by an American president — is being used by autocrats to silence reporters, undermine political opponents, stave off media scrutiny and mislead citizens. CPJ documented 21 cases in 2017 in which journalists were jailed on “fake news” charges.’ McCain has been the perfect example of honor and integrity. He continued: ‘Trump’s attempts to undermine the free press also make it more difficult to hold repressive governments accountable. For decades, dissidents and human rights advocates have relied on independent investigations into government corruption to further their fight for freedom. But constant cries of “fake news” undercut this type of reporting and strip activists of one of their most powerful tools of dissent.’ This week we’ll debate everything from the budget to immigration. We’re also likely to hear more attacks on the free press. As a fmr reporter’s daughter, I know how important accurate/uncensored journalism is to our democracy & I won’t let these attacks stand. Share & speak up! — Amy Klobuchar (@amyklobuchar) Then, the senator who fears nothing and no one hammered Trump’s “Fake News Awards:” ‘President Trump tweeted on Jan. 7 that he has rescheduled the presentation of his “Fake News Awards” to Jan. 17.  We cannot afford to abdicate America’s long-standing role as the defender of human rights and democratic principles throughout the world. Without strong leadership in the White House, Congress must commit to protecting independent journalism, preserving an open and free media environment, and defending the fundamental right to freedom of opinion and expression. ‘We can do this by encouraging our partners and allies to review their laws and practices, including the abuse of defamation and anti-terrorism laws, to better protect press freedom and ensure that they do not unduly shrink the space for free speech. We can authorize U.S. foreign assistance to support independent media outlets and programs that create greater media pluralism. We can do more to foster conditions in which freedom of expression and information can thrive, including working to change increasingly political attitudes toward journalism. And we can condemn violence against journalists, denounce censorship and support dissidents and activists as they seek to speak the truth.’ McCain played to the public’s better angels: ‘Ultimately, freedom of information is critical for a democracy to succeed. We become better, stronger and more effective societies by having an informed and engaged public that pushes policymakers to best represent not only our interests but also our values. Journalists play a major role in the promotion and protection of democracy and our unalienable rights, and they must be able to do their jobs freely. Only truth and transparency can guarantee freedom.’ Thank you, John McCain. Featured Image via No related posts.

Live Now Live Now CNN anchor and host of  Don Lemon Tonight Don Lemon really, really wanted NOAA’s hurricane director Jamie Rohme to link Hurricane Ian to climate change —but Rohme wasn’t having it. “Can you tell us what this is and what effect the climate change has on this phenomenon?” Lemon asked. “Well, we can come back and talk about climate change at a later time,” Rohme said. “I want to focus on the here-and-now. We think the rapid intensification is probably almost done, there could be a little bit more intensification as it still is over the warm waters of the eastern Gulf of Mexico, but I don’t think we’re gonna get any more rapid intensification. If you look here, you can actually see, pretty interesting for your viewers, you can actually see a second eyewall forming around the inner eyewall, and that’s basically the second eyewall has overtaken the original eyewall and that should arrest development.” Lemon tried to pivot back to climate change. “So listen, I just, I’m just trying to get the, you said you want to talk about climate change,” Lemon said. “But what effect does climate change to have on this phenomenon that is happening now? Because it seems these storms are intensifying. That’s the question.” “I don’t think you can link climate change to any one event,” Rohme responded. “On the whole, on the cumulative, climate change may be making storms worse, but to link it to any one event, I would caution against that.” “Okay, well, listen, I grew up there and these storms are intensifying,” Lemon fired back. “Something is causing them to intensify.” This is amazing.

According to a report from Fox News, Biden’s top climate aide Gina McCarthy is finally stepping down after rumors began circulating as early as the beginning of this year. “Reports that I have resigned from my position as President Biden’s National Climate Advisor are simply inaccurate,” McCarthy wrote at the time. “We’ve made great progress these past 14 months, but we have much more work to do — and I remain excited about the opportunities ahead.” Not that excited, apparently. From : McCarthy, who is from Massachusetts, led the Environmental Protection Agency under President Barack Obama before Biden chose her to lead domestic climate policy.

Live Now Live Now Democrat Congresswoman Veronica Escobar confused millions of Americans on the steps of the US Capitol Wednesday when she claimed “much of the migration” crisis at the US-border is a result of global warming. “We are seeing longer, hotter summers… That’s killing people. For those who have been covering the movement of migrants across our hemisphere, there is no doubt that much of that migration is coming from the climate crisis… Unless we do something, we should expect all of that humanitarian need to continue,” said the Congresswoman. “We can take action this week… Building a new economy, ensuring there is equity, and we are able to have a planet where we can live!” she added. “I cannot wait to vote for Build Back Better!” El Paso's says passing the $5 trillion Build Back Better bill will stop the climate from changing, which will solve Biden’s border crisis. “There is no doubt that much of that migration is coming from the climate crisis."" — Tom Elliott (@tomselliott)   Watch the Congresswoman’s comments above.

We put the economy in a medically-induced coma. Emissions will go down as economic activity goes down… We saw a similar effect with the Great Recession. When the economy came back the emissions came back. Most of the experts think that’s going to happen again,” said Gore. .

It actually is very little to do with the cancelation of the border wall contracts. I think that’s infuriating, but the real dereliction of duty is simply a refusal to actually enforce the laws of our country,” said the Republican. “Those laws might be our asylum process laws, those laws might be internal enforcement inside where deportations are necessary, those laws might be simply crossing the border illegally. And the only action that DHS has taken has been against those border agents trying to do their job on horseback, trying to stop people from rushing the border.

As the northern hemisphere continues to struggle with plummeting temperatures and frigid snow, a new report from global climate scientists say the current “warming” crisis facing the planet may be caused by one of mankind’s favorite foods: The Sandwich. Researchers at the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom published the “explosive” report this week, claiming the human production, packaging, consumption, and waste from sandwiches is the annual equivalent of nearly nine million automobiles in just Great Britain. Despite the food’s apparent invention in 1762, scientists now say the sandwich -particularly pre-packaged breakfast sandwiches- generates massive carbon footprints that help contribute to the gradual warming of planet earth. “Altogether the team looked at 40 different sandwich types, recipes and combinations. They found the highest carbon footprints for the sandwiches with pork meat (bacon, ham or sausages) and those containing cheese or prawns,” says the . “Consuming 11.5 billion sandwiches annually in the UK generates, on average, 9.5 million tonnes of CO 2  eq., equivalent to the annual use of 8.6 million cars,” it adds. “The results show the largest contributor to a sandwich’s carbon footprint is the agricultural production and processing of their ingredients.

We need bold climate action now. — Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer)   Make no mistake: The Democratic Majority will compel the Senate to forcefully, relentlessly, and urgently address the climate crisis—beginning with work in all of the relevant committees under the new Democratic Chairs. — Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer)   Senate Democrats will work to address the climate crisis This is a crisis that concerns not only all of our futures, but the futures of our children and grandchildren It is our solemn obligation to leave behind a planet upon which future generations can grow and prosper — Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer)   “I’ve already instructed the incoming Democratic chairs of all relevant committees to begin holding hearings on the climate crisis in preparation for enacting President Biden’s agenda,” he added. Socialist superstar and Congressional hopeful Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez continued to raise eyebrows over the weekend; bizarrely equating the threat of climate-change to Hitler’s Nazi Germany. “So we talk about existential threats, the last time we had a really major existential threat to this country was around World War II,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “And so we’ve been here before and we have a blueprint of doing this before.” “None of these things are new ideas,” she continued. “What we had was an existential threat in the context of a war. We had a direct existential threat with another nation, this time it was Nazi Germany, and axis, who explicitly made the United States as an enemy, as an enemy.” “We have to do the same thing in order to get us to 100% renewable energy, and that’s just the truth of it,” said Cortez. As the northern hemisphere continues to struggle with plummeting temperatures and frigid snow, a new report from global climate scientists say the current “warming” crisis facing the planet may be caused by one of mankind’s favorite foods: The Sandwich. Researchers at the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom published the “explosive” report this week, claiming the human production, packaging, consumption, and waste from sandwiches is the annual equivalent of nearly nine million automobiles in just Great Britain. Despite the food’s apparent invention in 1762, scientists now say the sandwich -particularly pre-packaged breakfast sandwiches- generates massive carbon footprints that help contribute to the gradual warming of planet earth. “Altogether the team looked at 40 different sandwich types, recipes and combinations. They found the highest carbon footprints for the sandwiches with pork meat (bacon, ham or sausages) and those containing cheese or prawns,” says the . “Consuming 11.5 billion sandwiches annually in the UK generates, on average, 9.5 million tonnes of CO 2  eq., equivalent to the annual use of 8.6 million cars,” it adds. “The results show the largest contributor to a sandwich’s carbon footprint is the agricultural production and processing of their ingredients. Depending on the type, this can account for around 37%-67% of CO 2  eq. for ready-made sandwiches.” Read the full report . 'ISIS IS BACK': GOP Rep.

Sign-Up to the Newsletter. Live Now Live Now DNC Chairman Tom Perez urged Republicans and President Trump to “get the memo” on climate change during Tuesday night’s presidential debate; saying global warming is not just a threat to our planet, but the entire “universe.” ???? ""climate change threatens our universe."" — Nathan Brand (@NathanBrandWA) “They ought to get the memo on climate change. Because climate change is an economic crisis, it’s a public health crisis, it threatens our universe. We must take action now!” Perez’ comments weren’t the only strange moment during the debate. Author Marianne Williamson left millions of television viewers scratching their heads Tuesday night; bizarrely suggesting President Trump has awakened a “dark psychic force” during the Democratic debate. “This is part of the dark underbelly of American society, the racism, the bigotry, and the entire conversation that we’re having here tonight. If you think any of this wonkiness is going to deal with this dark psychic force of the collectivized hatred that this president is bringing up in this country, then I’m afraid that the Democrats are going to see some very dark days,” said Williamson. Progressive and moderate Democrats squared-off Tuesday night on the first round of CNN’s presidential debates; with centrist lawmakers calling far-left policies “fairytale economics.” “The ideological divide between Democratic presidential hopefuls came into focus Tuesday as leading progressive candidates Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren defended their liberal policies on healthcare and immigration against surprisingly energetic attacks from moderate rivals,” reports . “The fault lines emerged immediately in the second debate of the 2020 Democratic primary race, with lesser-known candidates taking sharp digs and warning that forcing radical change could ensure President Donald Trump’s re-election,” adds the . Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders repeatedly called for massive, “structural” change to the US economy and political system on issues including Wall Street, healthcare, taxation, immigration, and more. Democratic frontrunner Joe Biden will share the stage Thursday with Senator Kamala Harris; clearing the path for a potential rematch from weeks ago. Failing presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke’s personal guests to this week’s Democratic debates will be high school athletes benched for protesting the US National Anthem. “When Democrat Beto O’Rourke takes the stage in the second round of presidential primary debates on Tuesday, three young black men from Michigan who were inspired by ex-NFL player Colin Kaepernick to kneel during the national anthem before their high school football games will be in the audience as guests of the former Texas congressman,” reports . “O’Rourke reached out to ex-Lansing Catholic High School football players Michael Lynn III, Matthew Abdullah and RoJe Williams and spoke with them by phone last week. Teammate Kabbalah Richards is away at college and unable to attend the debate but also was on the call,” confirms the . O’Rourke made national headlines last week after he compared President Trump’s ‘MAGA’ events to Nazi-style rallies. ""Yes, President Trump is a racist,"" 2020 candidate Beto O'Rourke tells News. ""What we saw in North Carolina last week was almost an impromptu Nuremberg rally."" — ABC News (@ABC) “Do you think that President Trump is a racist?” asked ABC News. “Yes, President Trump is a racist. What we saw in North Carolina last week was almost an impromptu Nuremberg rally; inciting hatred and violence against people based on the color of their skin, based on their religion,” said O’Rourke. “It’s very clear the path that he is taking us on. We either willingly submit to that, or we stand up against it and stand for what we know this country can be. That’s what I’m trying to do,” he added. Read the full report at . House Democrats will hold hearings Wednesday on potential “reparations” for the descendants of slaves living in the US despite recent polling that shows the vast majority of Americans oppose the cash payments. “House Judiciary Democrats on Wednesday were holding a hearing in the Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties subcommittee on H.R. 40 — a proposal by Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee, D-Texas, to set up a commission to study and develop a response to the question of reparations for slavery,” reports Recent polls show that 60% of Americans oppose reparations, while just 32% support it. The date of the hearings -June 19 th – marks the day in 1865 when Union troops arrived in Texas to declare the end of the US Civil War. “However, in a finding that could put 2020 Democratic presidential hopefuls in a bind, the Fox poll found that among Democratic primary voters, 54 percent said they were likely to support a candidate who backed reparations, while 33 percent said they were not likely,” adds . Nearly all Democratic presidential candidates have offered their support for a “national conversation” on the controversial issue. Failing presidential candidate Cory Booker introduced legislation earlier this year that would create a commission to study the topic. “This bill is a way of addressing head-on the persistence of racism, white supremacy, and implicit racial bias in our country. It will bring together the best minds to study the issue and propose solutions that will finally begin to right the economic scales of past harms and make sure we are a country where all dignity and humanity is affirmed,” said Booker. “Since slavery in this country, we have had overt policies fueled by white supremacy and racism that have oppressed African-Americans economically for generations,” Booker added. “Many of our bedrock domestic policies that have ushered millions of Americans into the middle class have systematically excluded blacks through practices like GI Bill discrimination and redlining.” The issue of federal reparations has taken center stage in the 2020 Democratic primary fight in recent weeks, with top candidates -including Beto O’Rourke and Elizabeth Warren- saying new legislation is required to study the potential payments.

The Flint crisis began when city officials decided to switch their water supply from Lake Huron to the less expensive Flint River. Insufficient water treatment allowed lead from the water pipes to contaminate the town’s drinking water; impacting more than 100,000 residents. Ocasio-Cortez made a similar claim this week when she blamed a summer DC thunderstorm on Republican lawmakers. “Unprecedented flooding is quickly becoming a new normal.

Last week, a California judge ruled that prisoners serving time in the state’s prisons can possess marijuana, but cannot consume the drug in any way. “The 3rd District Court of Appeal’s 20-page ruling says the state’s voters legalized recreational possession of less than an ounce of cannabis in 2016, with no exception — even for those behind bars. The decision Tuesday overturned the Sacramento County   of five inmates who’d been found with marijuana in their prison cells,” reports . “According to the plain language of…Proposition 64, possession of less than an ounce of cannabis in prison is no longer a felony,” decided a three-judge panel. “Smoking or ingesting cannabis in prison remains a felony.” “The panel rejected the state’s argument that guards will lose control over prisons if inmates are free to possess small quantities of marijuana, noting possession can still be punished as a rules violation. Such punishments,   says, could include having good behavior credits revoked,” adds . “It creates confusion,” Dan Olsen, a defense attorney, told  . “If it’s illegal to take it in, it’s illegal to use it but now it’s not illegal to have it. It’s sort of like: what’s the point of making it not illegal to have it?” The decision comes as the state legislature is poised to allow felons to serve on juries. “SB310 will help ensure that California juries represent a fair cross-section of our communities…People with felony records have the right to vote in California. There is no legitimate reason why they should be barred from serving on a jury,” said state Sen.

San Francisco is the only universal health care plan for all undocumented residents in America. Very proud of that,” Newsom said. “I’d like to see that extended to the rest of the state.” Listen to Newsom’s comments above.

The current project, as planned, would cost too much and take too long.” Gov Newsom on high speed rail: “Let’s be real… the project as currently planned would cost too much and take too long.” — Ashley Zavala (@ZavalaA) “The Democratic governor acknowledged critics who want the state to abandon the project entirely, but said he doesn’t want to waste the billions already spent on the project, nor does he want to return $3.5 billion the state has received in federal funding,” writes the Sacramento Bee.

Engulfed in a constant barrage of depressing news stories, many young people are skeptical about saving for an uncertain future.” “I want to hope for the best and plan for a future that is stable and secure, but, when I look at current events and at the world we are predicting, I do not see how things could not be chaotic in 50 years,” a 27-year-old communications professional from New York City. “The weather systems are already off, and I don’t think it’s hyperbolic to be a little apocalyptic.” According to Pew, two-thirds of Millennials (those born between 1981 and 1996) have nothing saved for retirement. “There is a certain fatalism in this population relative to more recent generations,” said one industry expert. “Psychologically, this population has had more shocks to expectations about their futures than past generations. From a perception point of view, I hear a lot of cynicism about the ability to build retirement savings or whether they will be able to retire at all.” Despite a lack of savings, the United States economy continues to break record after record under President Trump. The American economy smashed expectations in April; adding over 263,000 new jobs that sent the unemployment rate down to just 3.6% -the lowest level on record since December 1969. “The U.S. jobs machine kept humming along in April, adding a robust 263,000 new hires while the unemployment rate fell to 3.6%, the lowest in a generation, according to a Labor Department report Friday,” reports . “Unemployment was last this low in December 1969 when it hit 3.5%. At a time when many economists see a tight labor market, big job growth continues as the economic expansion is just a few months away from being the longest in history,” adds the author.

Beto’s plan comes months after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez released her ‘Green New Deal’ that aims to reduce car travel, airplanes, consumption of red meat, “classic” construction materials, and more. O’Rourke’s proposal aims to “”set a first-ever, net-zero emissions by 2030 carbon budget for federal lands, stopping new fossil fuel leases, changing royalties to reflect climate costs, and accelerating renewables development and forestation.” Read the full report . Unbelievable undercover footage released by Project Veritas Thursday raises serious legal and ethical questions surrounding Beto O’Rourke’s senate campaign; revealing top staffers potentially violated federal law by using campaign finances to help undocumented workers traveling with the ‘migrant caravan.’ The bombshell video shows O’Rourke’s field manager and others scheming to help the migrants after crossing into the US; suggesting campaign workers use donations and other official funds and resources to assist Central American migrants entering the United States. “You know that migrant caravan? A few of them got here already and they’re dropping them off like really close,” said a campaign field manager. “I’m going to get some food right now and some stuff to drop off.” “Don’t ever repeat this stuff but like, if we just say we’re buying some food for an event, like Halloween events,” suggested another staffer. “That’s not a horrible idea, but I didn’t hear anything,” said the manager. “I think we can use that with [prepaid campaign debit cards] to buy some food, all that sh*t can be totally masked.” Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke called for the removal of El Paso’s critical border wall this week; saying the physical barrier “has not in any way” made the US “safer” and costs “tens of billions of dollars.” Beto O'Rourke when asked, since Rep. asked on Twitter, if he would tear down the walls that are already in place: Yes and I think a referendum to do so would pass. — Julio Rosas (@Julio_Rosas11) “Would you -if you could- take the wall down now? Here?” asked MSNBC’s Chris Hayes. “Yes, Absolutely. I’d take the wall down,” said Beto. “Here’s what we know… After the Secure Fence Act we built 600 miles of wall and fencing on a 2,000 mile border. What that has done has not in any way made us safer. It cost us tens of billions of dollars to build and to maintain,” he added. 'ISIS IS BACK': GOP Rep.

Live Now Live Now Twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton re-emerged Monday just hours after Robert Mueller’s summary on ‘Russian Collusion’ was released to Congressional leaders; ignoring the special counsel’s report and warning Americans of the dangers posed by climate change. “Two realities we must confront: 1. Climate change won’t just affect the coasts. 2. Climate change is a national security issue,” posted Clinton on social media. Two realities we must confront: 1. Climate change won't just affect the coasts. 2. Climate change is a national security issue. — Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) The former Secretary of State has largely blamed Russian-Collusion on her 2016 defeat to Donald Trump; claiming outside factors led to her historic loss in swing-states across the country. A senior attorney on special counsel Robert Mueller’s legal team has even more connections to the Clinton campaign than previously thought; attending Hillary’s election night soiree in New York City along with other senior aides, reports the  . Andrew Weissmann, described by the New York Times as Mueller’s “pit-bull,” allegedly attended the Clinton Campaign’s supposed victory party last November. “Mr. Weissmann also attended Hillary Clinton’s election-night party at the Jacob K. Javits Center in New York, according to people familiar with his attendance,” writes the Journal. Earlier this week, government watchdog agency Judicial Watch released an email exchange between the attorney and acting Attorney General Sally Yates, praising her decision to rebuke President Trump’s initial travel ban. “I am so proud. And in awe. Thank you so much. All my deepest respects,” he wrote in late January. Weissmann’s anti-Trump bias, along with other senior officials scattered throughout the special counsel’s office, raises serious ethical and legal questions over Mueller’s probe into Russia-Trump collusion in the 2016 election. On Thursday, the Wall Street Journal urged Robert Mueller to step-down from his position, citing a host of conflicts of interest and the recent revelations regarding anti-Trump political bias throughout the investigation. The mainstream media’s year-long narrative that the Trump campaign “colluded” with Russian officials continued to crumble Friday, with special counsel Robert Mueller’s indictment claiming foreign agents held anti-Trump, pro-Hillary rallies in 2016. Mueller’s court filings show 13 Russian nationals attempted to sow chaos throughout the election cycle and beyond; holding competing events for both Trump and Clinton on the same day in the same city. “On one day, Nov. 12, 2016, the defendants organized a rally in New York to ‘show your support for President-elect Donald Trump’ while at the same time organizing a ‘Trump is NOT my president rally’ that also was held in New York,” writes . NBC News also that the Russian agents held a “Support Hillary” rally in July 2016 in Washington, DC. The bombshell revelations throw even more cold water on the liberal conspiracy theory that President Trump and his staff “colluded” with Russian officials to steal the election from Hillary Clinton; just one of many excuses commonly touted by the former Secretary of State following her stunning defeat.

US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley unloaded on former Secretary of State John Kerry Wednesday; blasting the ex-diplomat for his continued meetings with Iranian officials since leaving office. Haley was speaking with Fox News when she was asked to comment on Kerry’s recent admission he had met at least “three or four times” with his Iranian counterparts in recent months. “What Secretary Kerry did was not only disrespectful, it was hurtful to America,” Haley said. “When we are sitting there trying to get Iran to come to the table in a way that they understand that the ballistic missile testing has to stop, the support of terrorism has to stop, they have to quit selling arms to the Houthis–to have another American go in and say, ‘Don’t worry about it,’ that absolutely is anti-American.” h/t Sen. Marco Rubio fired-back at former Secretary of State John Kerry Tuesday; blasting the senior Obama official and requesting a thorough investigation into whether he broke the law by engaging in “Shadow Diplomacy” with Iranian officials. Rubio sent a scathing letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions this week asking for an official investigation into Kerry’s dealings since leaving office; saying the former diplomat may have violated the Logan Act or the Foreign Agents Registration Act. The American people “deserve to know that U.S. laws are enforced regardless of any individual’s past position,” writes Rubio. Last week, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo blasted Kerry’s “unseemly” actions, saying his high-level meetings are without “precedent” in American history. “You can’t find precedent for this in U.S. history, and Secretary Kerry ought not to engage in that kind of behavior,” said Pompeo.

Researchers at the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom published the “explosive” report this week, claiming the human production, packaging, consumption, and waste from sandwiches is the annual equivalent of nearly nine million automobiles in just Great Britain. Despite the food’s apparent invention in 1762, scientists now say the sandwich -particularly pre-packaged breakfast sandwiches- generates massive carbon footprints that help contribute to the gradual warming of planet earth. “Altogether the team looked at 40 different sandwich types, recipes and combinations. They found the highest carbon footprints for the sandwiches with pork meat (bacon, ham or sausages) and those containing cheese or prawns,” says the . “Consuming 11.5 billion sandwiches annually in the UK generates, on average, 9.5 million tonnes of CO 2  eq., equivalent to the annual use of 8.6 million cars,” it adds. “The results show the largest contributor to a sandwich’s carbon footprint is the agricultural production and processing of their ingredients. Depending on the type, this can account for around 37%-67% of CO 2  eq. for ready-made sandwiches.” Read the full report . 'ISIS IS BACK': GOP Rep.

Fascinatingly they also trumpeted the Second Amendment. The Russians are very big fans of our Second Amendment,” he added. “The Russians would be very thrilled if we would be doing nothing but killing each other every day, and sadly we are,” said the liberal lawmaker. Democratic lawmaker Adam Schiff admitted he wasn’t sure if anti-Trump DOJ official Peter Strzok should still be employed by the FBI this week, saying he acted “inappropriately” but didn’t go so far as to call for his removal from the agency. Schiff was speaking with MSNBC’s host Chuck Todd on Sunday when he was asked if Peter Strzok “should still be with the FBI at this point?” “I don’t know,” Schiff fired-back. “I imagine that the Office of Professional Responsibility will have to make that decision.” “Certainly these text messages are troubling,” the congressman added. “The fact that they were on a work email, the fact that they were co-mingled with emails discussing business, all that’s problematic.” Watch Schiff’s comments above.

Researchers at the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom published the “explosive” report this week, claiming the human production, packaging, consumption, and waste from sandwiches is the annual equivalent of nearly nine million automobiles in just Great Britain. Despite the food’s apparent invention in 1762, scientists now say the sandwich -particularly pre-packaged breakfast sandwiches- generates massive carbon footprints that help contribute to the gradual warming of planet earth. “Altogether the team looked at 40 different sandwich types, recipes and combinations. They found the highest carbon footprints for the sandwiches with pork meat (bacon, ham or sausages) and those containing cheese or prawns,” says the . “Consuming 11.5 billion sandwiches annually in the UK generates, on average, 9.5 million tonnes of CO 2  eq., equivalent to the annual use of 8.6 million cars,” it adds. “The results show the largest contributor to a sandwich’s carbon footprint is the agricultural production and processing of their ingredients. Depending on the type, this can account for around 37%-67% of CO 2  eq. for ready-made sandwiches.” Read the full report . 'ISIS IS BACK': GOP Rep.

Live Now Live Now A new bombshell report from climate scientists around the world is throwing cold-water on the “worst case” scenarios predicted by environmentalists for decades, saying the left-wing hysteria surrounding “climate change” is simply “not credible.” According to the , scientists studying the impacts of greenhouse gases and human-made pollutants are drastically revising their predictions of mankind’s effects on global temperatures and sea level changes. Climate experts say new data now reduces the “possible end-of-century outcomes by more than half.” “Earth’s surface will almost certainly not warm up four or five degrees Celsius by 2100, according to a study released Wednesday which, if correct, voids worst-case UN climate change predictions,” writes the . “Our study all but rules out very low and very high climate sensitivities,” said the lead author of the bombshell study. “These scientists have produced a more accurate estimate of how the planet will respond to increasing CO2 levels,” said the director of the Priestley International Centre for Climate at the University of Leeds.

According to Yahoo! News, the cold snap that brought a frigid “bomb cyclone” to the east coast of the United States was not caused by man-made greenhouse gases, but is instead a naturally occurring phenomenon that is 15 times rarer today than it was just 100 years go. “The cold snap that gripped the East Coast and Midwest region was a rarity that bucks the warming trend,” said a researcher from the National Center for Atmospheric Research. “It was very definitely strange, especially now,” added another scientist from Princeton University. A century ago “it wouldn’t have been that strange. Things like this are becoming stranger.” Climate change alarmists were quick to blame the cold-snap on global warming, with “experts” breathlessly saying the freezing weather was somehow brought about by rising global temperatures. “It’s bitter cold in parts of the US, but climate scientist Dr. Michael Mann explains that’s exactly what we should expect from the climate crisis,” former Vice President Al Gore posted on social media.

Sorry.” Biden also stressed the need to “double down” on aggressive climate commitments, despite Americans still feeling the pain at the pump; gas prices are currently hovering around $3.75 a gallon on average.

Sign-Up to the Newsletter. Live Now Live Now Don’t worry —the painting is okay. According to a report from  The Daily Wire,  two climate activists attempted to make a ridiculous point about oil by attempting to ruin an oil painting that was protected behind glass. The $85 million dollar Van Gogh “Sunflowers” was doused with tomato soup by the group  Just Stop Oil. From : The two suspects glued their hands to the museum wall after dousing the painting with two cans of Heinz tomato soup at around 11 a.m. local time. London police officers arrested them for criminal damage and aggravated trespassing. A video posted on Twitter by the Guardian newspaper’s environment correspondent Damien Gayle and retweeted by the eco-activism group showed the incident, with the two young protesters gluing themselves to the wall after hurling the soup. “I’m pretty sure most of the pollution comes from burning oil rather than painting with it,” Daily Wire host Michael Knowles . The attack was attributed to the protest group Just Stop Oil, members of which in July glued their hands to a copy of ’s “The Last Supper” at a museum in London. In June, members glued themselves to another van Gogh painting, “Peach Trees Blossom,” at London’s Courtauld Gallery, and in May, a cross-dressing climate-change activist . “Is art worth more than life?” Just Stop Oil asked in a Friday tweet. “More than food?” 'ISIS IS BACK': GOP Rep.

From : House passage came four days after the Senate approved the bill in a party-line vote, with casting the tiebreaking vote. SpeakerNancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) touted the bill on the House floor during debate on Friday, arguing that it “saves the planet while keeping more money in your pockets.” “This bill, the Inflation Reduction Act, a package for the people, increases the leverage of the public interest over the special interests, and expands health and financial security now and for generations to come,” she added. House GOP members were less than thrilled with the passing of the bill. Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert absolutely blasted the Democrats for their inflation “con game.” “You are sacrificing American families at the alter of climate change…[this bill] does the exact opposite of what Americans need right now.

Sign-Up to the Newsletter. Live Now Live Now Joe Manchin has a familiar message for his fellow Democrats: “no.” According to a report from Bloomberg, Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) has once again crushed President Joe Biden’s hopes of sneaking radical climate change initiatives and tax increases through the Senate. Manchin told party leaders this week that he will not support new spending —he will only support legislation to lower prescription drug prices. From : Manchin told Majority Leader Chuck Schumer he’s only willing to support legislation to lower prescription drug prices and extend enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies, the people said. That leaves Democrats in a position of accepting a much smaller package shorn of nearly all of their long-term ambitions from a year ago, or getting nothing. His decision is a de facto veto of Biden’s hopes to revive the economic plan that fizzled last year, angering Democratic progressives who had been counting on sweeping policy wins. Manchin’s vote is pivotal in the evenly divided Senate, where Democrats need a united caucus to pass the economic package by simple majority under special budget reconciliation rules. Just days ago, Manchin and Schumer were negotiating over hundreds of billions in spending on measures designed to fight climate change, including tax breaks for renewable energy, electric vehicles and other clean power sources. The loss of those plans will be a bitter pill for many Democrats on Capitol Hill and at the White House. Solar stocks fell in early US trading. “Political headlines are of no value to the millions of Americans struggling to afford groceries and gas as inflation soars to 9.1%,” said Manchin spokeswoman Sam Runyon. “Senator Manchin believes it’s time for leaders to put political agendas aside, reevaluate and adjust to the economic realities the country faces to avoid taking steps that add fuel to the inflation fire.” “I was talking about inflation before it was even thought about,” Manchin told reporters earlier. “And now I’m more concerned than ever before.” Senator Joe Manchin told Democratic leaders that he would not support an economic package that contains new spending on climate measures or new tax increases — Bloomberg Green (@climate) 'ISIS IS BACK': GOP Rep.

But if we do nothing on climate, starting within a few short years from now, each year will be worse than COVID,” said Schumer. Missed this wild line from Schumer earlier: ""COVID was horrible.

Masks will once-again be required for all people in the House of Representatives just one month after relaxing the rules to comply with new guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control. “To be clear, for meetings in an enclosed US House of Representatives controlled space, masks are REQUIRED,” a letter from the Capitol Hill physician, Brian Monahan, reads. “For the Congress, representing a collection of individuals traveling weekly from various risk areas (both high and low rates of disease transmission), all individuals should wear a well-fitted, medical-grade filtration mask (for example an ear loop surgical mask or a KN95 mask) when they are in an interior space,” Monahan added. House to resume mask mandate after new CDC guidance — The Hill (@thehill)   House Minority Leader called the motivation behind the decision political shortly after the announcement, saying Democrats want to “continue to live in a perpetual pandemic state.” “Make no mistake — The threat of bringing masks back is not a decision based on science, but a decision conjured up by liberal government officials who want to continue to live in a perpetual pandemic state,” posted McCarthy on social media.

WE SHOULD FIND OUT WHAT SCHOOLS THEIR CHILDREN GO TO AND SURROUND THE SCHOOLS IN PROTEST. THESE AGENTS ARE DOING THIS CUZ THEY WANT TO DO IT. THEY LIKE DOING THIS. F***.” “Peter, you are a despicable, hateful, spoiled, and entitled punk. Your life of privilege since birth is not what most of us deal with. We have to work hard every day to make a living for our families. Some of us do dangerous jobs that most Americans wouldn’t touch,” writes the NBPC. “Our children have to put up with enough as it is. Demonizing us is low. But encouraging domestic terrorism against our children is unforgivable. Encouraging violence against the President’s son is unforgivable. Asking people to kidnap the DHS secretary, strip her naked, put her in a cage and letting people poke her with sticks demonstrates just how unhinged you really are,” the council added.

Live Now Live Now Controversial Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez found herself in hot-water this week for flying to Copenhagen, Denmark to deliver a 14-minute speech on the dangers of carbon emissions. “It is unsustainable to continue to believe [in] our system of runaway, unaccountable, lawbreaking pursuit of profit,” she told the conference. “Our current logic created this mess and operating in the same way will not get us out.” “I speak to you as a human being, a woman whose dreams of motherhood now taste bittersweet because of what I know about our children’s future,” she added. “That our actions are responsible for bringing their most dire possibilities into focus.” Yet she flew to Denmark on a jet instead of doing the eco-friendly Skype-in?

Controversial Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez weighed-in on the recent series of tornados that struck the Midwest before heading towards the east coast Thursday; saying the weather phenomenon is no longer “limited to the great plains” due to climate change. “The freshman congresswoman began by sharing a video on   briefly showing the conditions outside, as heavy rains drenched the region and prompted a brief, and rare, tornado warning inside the Beltway,” writes . “They just issued a tornado watch in DC. Oh no, there’s people stuck outside. We need to get them out! This is crazy,” said the Congresswoman. “Tornadoes are challenging to link to climate change links due to their nature (geographically, limited, acute patterns, how they form, etc.),” Ocasio-Cortez told her followers. “But we DO know that tornadoes HAVE been changing. They are no longer being limited to the Great Plains, and are shifting to other regions of the country.” “The climate crisis is real y’all … guess we’re at casual tornadoes in growing regions of the country,” she later wrote on Instagram. Meteorologist Ryan Maue was quick to point out the legislator’s error. “The Congresswoman @AOC does not know the difference between weather and climate,” wrote Maue. “Let’s try an easy analogy: Weather is what outfit you wear heading out the door. Climate is your closet wardrobe.” The Congresswoman does not know the difference between weather and climate. Let's try an easy analogy: Weather is what outfit you wear heading out the door.

Together, we can work with our military to fight climate change. — Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) The far-left Senator’s comments come weeks after she unveiled a series of new government programs that economists say will cost US taxpayers trillions per year. “If we put a 2% tax on the wealthiest families in the country, we can provide universal Pre-K, universal free college, knock back student loan debt for 95% of Americans—and still have a trillion dollars leftover,” claimed Warren on social media.

Live Now Live Now Rising Democratic candidate Elizabeth Warren pledged to “do whatever it takes” to “stop the climate crisis” Friday; saying the United States must introduce “big structural change” to save our planet. “I’m willing to do whatever it takes to stop the climate crisis—and that starts with eliminating the filibuster so that we can make the big, structural change we desperately need to save our planet,” Warren posted on social media. Thank you, . I'm willing to do whatever it takes to stop the climate crisis—and that starts with eliminating the filibuster so that we can make the big, structural change we desperately need to save our planet. — Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) Judge Jeanine Pirro spoke with Sean Hannity Thursday on Elizabeth Warren’s wild policy proposals; saying -if elected- her “new deals” on healthcare, childcare, and climate would ultimately “break this country.” “Clearly, she has used this to her advantage. I wonder how many people have actually considered the fact that she lied to get ahead, she lied to get into Harvard, she lied to make money off of Harvard,” said Pirro on Warren’s claims of Native American ancestry. “Unfortunately, the movement is going in her direction because now she’s at 25%, edging in on Joe Biden… She now is smart enough to make all the tactical moves. Her deals are going to break this country, it’s just not going to work,” she added. Polling from earlier this month had Warren tied with Biden just months before Democratic voters head to the polls. “The 2020 candidate pulled off a rare showing in an  Economist published Wednesday, tying the largely untouchable former Vice President Joe Biden with 26 percent support among registered voters.

In a   from Monmouth University, Sanders and Warren topped the pool with 20 percent support, and Biden was just behind at 19 percent.

Together, we can work with our military to fight climate change. — Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) The far-left Senator’s comments come weeks after she unveiled a series of new government programs that economists say will cost US taxpayers trillions per year. “If we put a 2% tax on the wealthiest families in the country, we can provide universal Pre-K, universal free college, knock back student loan debt for 95% of Americans—and still have a trillion dollars leftover,” claimed Warren on social media.

ISIS or al Qaeda?’ The answer that I gave in terms of national security is climate change,” Sanders told the crowd. Sanders continued his calls for free college and universities across the USA this week; admitting the proposal may “cost a little bit of money” but ultimately asking, “So what?” Bernie on big government proposals: “costs a little bit of money, so what?” — RNC Research (@RNCResearch) “One of the things that we’ve got to just keep doing is thinking big and not small… There’s no reason why we don’t make these colleges and universities tuition-free. Costs a little bit of money, but so what?” Sanders told a crowd of supporters. Sanders published a list of “rights” all Americans are entitled to “regardless of income” over the weekend; demanding “decent jobs,” free healthcare, and affordable housing for everyone living in the United States. “Every American, regardless of income, is entitled to: The right to a decent job that pays a living wage. The right to quality health care. The right to a complete education. The right to affordable housing. The right to a clean environment.

A federal judge blocked key elements of a Missouri law banning abortions after eight weeks of pregnancy Tuesday afternoon; likely sending the legislation to higher courts and potentially the Supreme Court of the United States. “A federal judge on Tuesday temporarily blocked a Missouri ban on   at or after eight weeks of pregnancy just hours before the law was slated to take effect,” reports . “The law was expected to be implemented on Wednesday, but U.S. District Judge Howard Sachs put a pause on   citing pending court proceedings.” “Planned Parenthood and the American Civil Liberties Union of Missouri claimed the ban was unconstitutional and filed a lawsuit in federal court. The groups argued that the ban goes against the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized abortions across the nation. Federal law currently allows states to ban abortions after fetuses can survive outside the womb, which can be from 24 to 28 weeks,” adds Fox. Missouri is not alone in their effort to limit abortions; with Mississippi, Ohio, Arkansas, and Kentucky passing similar legislation. At the same time, states like New York, Virginia, Massachusetts, and Vermont have enacted laws to expand abortion rights. Read the full report at . 'ISIS IS BACK': GOP Rep.

That’s exactly what I’ll do as president,” Booker said in a statement. We’re facing a dual crisis of climate change and economic inequality—and without immediate action, the toll is unimaginable. But this is a fight I know we can win. Read my plan to combat climate change here: — Cory Booker (@CoryBooker) “The reality is that we can’t afford  not  to act. We spend more than $100 billion each year solely on the health impacts of burning fossil fuels, and have spent   on climate-related disasters in the last three years alone. A recent paper in the National Bureau of Economic Research found that the U.S. economy could shrink by more than   if we don’t act decisively on climate change,” writes Booker. “As we set out to tackle the existential challenge of climate change, we must ensure that all people and all communities, especially the ones that have been traditionally left behind — urban and rural, communities of color, low-income, and indigenous — share in our progress. Acting together, we can and must find our common purpose, and build a sustainable and equitable future for all,” adds the statement. Read Booker’s full proposal here.

A post shared by (@berniesanders) on The school lunch program is the latest far-left proposal from Sanders, whose ‘Green New Deal’ would effectively nationalize upwards of 30% of the entire American economy. “Atop our existing government spending, comprising some 40% of GDP, the Vermont Senator wouldn’t just nationalize one-fifth of the economy with a ‘Medicare For all’ bill eliminating private health insurance. Under  , he would also nationalize most of the energy sector,” reports the . “At a mere $16.3 trillion, the Sanders plan would go beyond simply spending measures to increase climate-focused research and development. It would literally centralize the means of domestic energy production,” adds the . “What we need to do is have an aggressive federal government. You can’t nibble around the edges anymore. We need to transform our energy system, that means a massive increase in sustainable energy,” Sanders told MSNBC.

Sign-Up to the Newsletter. Live Now Live Now New York City became the first major city in America to declare a “climate emergency” this week; passing “symbolic” legislation that warned residents of the high-costs and environmental impact of global warming. “The resolution itself is largely symbolic, codifying an acknowledgment of the local costs of climate change and a commitment to tackle the crisis,” reports . “New York City’s declaration comes days after the state legislature   a sweeping climate bill aimed at net-zero emissions by 2050, a figure recommended by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.” Read the full copy of the law below: Resolution declaring a climate emergency and calling for an immediate emergency mobilization to restore a safe climate. By Council Members Kallos, Constantinides, Lander, Reynoso, Levin, Espinal, Koslowitz, Powers, Chin, Rosenthal, Barron and Rivera Whereas, On April 22, 2016, world leaders from 174 countries and the European Union recognized the threat of climate change and the urgent need to combat it by signing the Paris Agreement, agreeing to keep global warming well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C; and Whereas, On October 8, 2018, the United Nations International Panel on Climate Change (“IPCC”) released a special report, which projected that limiting warming to the 1.5°C target this century will require an unprecedented transformation of every sector of the global economy over the next 12 years; and Whereas, On November 23, 2018, the United States Fourth National Climate Assessment (“NCA4”) was released and details the massive threat that climate change poses to the American economy, our environment and climate stability, and underscores the need for immediate action to address a climate emergency at all levels of government; and Whereas, According to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), global temperatures in 2018 were .83°C (1.5°F) warmer than the 1951 to 1980 mean, and the past five years are collectively the warmest in modern history; and Whereas, The increased and intensifying wildfires, floods, rising seas, diseases, droughts and extreme weather brought on by global warming demonstrates that the Earth is too hot to be a safe environment; and Whereas, World Wildlife Fund’s 2018 Living Planet report finds that there has been a 60% decline in global wildlife populations between 1970 and 2014, with causes including overfishing, pollution and climate change; Whereas,  According to the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services, human activity has already severely altered 40% of the marine environment, 50% of inland waterways, and 75%  of the planet’s land, and it is projected that half-to-one million species are threatened with extinction, many within the next few decades; and Whereas, The United States of America has disproportionately contributed to the climate emergency and has repeatedly obstructed global efforts to transition toward a green economy, and thus bears an extraordinary responsibility to rapidly address these existential threats; and Whereas, Restoring a safe and stable climate requires accelerated actions to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions across all sectors to end the 6th mass extinction of species, and to protect all people and species from the increasingly severe consequences of climate change; and Whereas, A sweeping transition to clean energy systems that centers on equity and justice in their solutions is vital to our future and must include the following goals: dramatically expand existing renewable power sources and deploy new production capacity with the goal of meeting 100% of national power demand through renewable sources; build a national, energy-efficient, “smart” grid; upgrade every residential and industrial building for state-of-the-art energy efficiency, comfort and safety; eliminate greenhouse gas emissions from  manufacturing, agricultural and other industries, including by investing in local-scale agriculture in communities across the country; repair and improve transportation and other infrastructure, and upgrade water infrastructure to ensure universal access to clean water; fund massive investment in the decrease of greenhouse gases; make “green” technology, industry, expertise, products and services a major export of the United States, with the aim of becoming the international leader in helping other countries become greenhouse gas neutral economies and bringing about a global transition from fossil fuels; and Whereas, Marginalized populations in New York City and worldwide, including people of color, immigrants, indigenous communities, low-income individuals, people with disabilities, and the unhoused are already disproportionately affected by climate change, and will continue to bear an excess burden as temperatures increase, oceans rise, and disasters worsen; and Whereas, Addressing climate change fairly requires transitioning from fossil fuels to clean, renewable energy that is ecologically sustainable and equitable for all people, especially those most impacted by climate change already and those who will be most impacted in the future; and Whereas, People around the world have a fundamental human right to clean, healthy and adequate air, water, land, food, education, healthcare, and shelter; and                      Whereas, The economy must shift from dirty energy that benefits fossil fuel companies to energy democracy that benefits our people, environment and a clean, renewable energy economy, from funding new highways to expanding public transit, from incinerators and landfills to zero waste products, from industrial food systems to food sovereignty, from car-dependent sprawl and destructive unbridled growth to smart urban development without displacement, and from destructive over-development to habitat and ecosystem restoration; and Whereas, Building a society that is resilient to the current, expected, and potential effects of climate change will protect health, lives, ecosystems, and economies, and such resilience efforts will have the greatest positive impact if the most dramatic potential consequences of climate change are taken into account; and Whereas, Climate justice calls for climate resilience planning that addresses the specific experiences, vulnerabilities, and needs of marginalized communities within New York  City, who must be included and supported in actively engaging in climate resilience planning, policy, and actions; and Whereas, Actions to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions and/or decrease greenhouse gases may be taken in ways that also improve resilience to the effects of climate change, and vice versa; and Whereas, Climate justice requires that frontline communities that have historically borne the brunt of the extractive fossil-fuel economy, participate actively in the planning and implementation of this mobilization effort to address climate change at all levels of government and that they benefit first from the transition to a renewable energy economy; and Whereas, Nearly 400 cities, districts and counties across the world representing over 34 million people collectively have recently declared or officially acknowledged the existence of a global climate emergency, including Hoboken, San Francisco, Berkeley, Los Angeles, Montgomery County, Oakland, Richmond, and Santa Cruz in the United States, Bristol and London in the United Kingdom and many cities in Australia, Canada, and Switzerland; and Whereas, New York City, as the largest city in the United States, can act as a global leader by both converting to an ecologically, socially, and economically regenerative economy at emergency speed, and by organizing a transition to renewable energy and climate emergency mobilization effort; now, therefore, be it Resolved, The City Council declares a climate emergency and calls for an immediate emergency mobilization to restore a safe climate.

After being denied the ability to lawfully petition for asylum for the last 10 days, they are desperate. Texas Representative Beto O’Rourke bizarrely questioned the founding principles of the nation this week; asking if a document drafted “230 years ago” could effectively “manage” the United States of America. O’Rourke was speaking with the Washington Post when he was asked to comment on whether the US could handle “sweeping change” championed by the progressive wing of the Democratic Party. “I’m hesitant to answer it because I really feel like it deserves its due, and I don’t want to give you a – actually, just selfishly, I don’t want a sound bite of it reported, but, yeah, I think that’s the question of the moment: Does this still work?” O’Rourke said. “Can an empire like ours with military presence in over 170 countries around the globe, with trading relationships . . . and security agreements in every continent, can it still be managed by the same principles that were set down 230-plus years ago?” he asked.

The media’s Russia-Trump collusion narrative continued to collapse this week, after Facebook officials told Congressional investigators that nearly half of the 10 million users “exposed” to Russian-backed advertisements didn’t see the material until after the 2016 election. Elliot Schrage, Facebook’s Vice President of Policy and Communications, told lawmakers that 56% of ads appeared on the social media giant’s webpage after Election Day, with 44% appearing on the site before November. Facebook recently supplied Congress with approximately 3,000 paid advertisements with links to Russian-backed firms or organizations. The technology giant informed investigators that the ads cost roughly $100,000, and believe they were purchased by Kremlin supported sources to siphon votes away from Hillary Clinton and towards Donald Trump. “Roughly 25% of the ads were never shown to anyone,” Schrage added. “That’s because advertising auctions are designed so that ads reach people based on relevance, and certain ads may not reach anyone as a result.” “Most of the ads appear to focus on divisive social and political messages across the ideological spectrum, touching on topics from LGBT matters to race issues to immigration to gun rights,” Schrage said. “A number of them appear to encourage people to follow Pages on these issues.” Doomed Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has routinely blamed Facebook –as well as a host of other external factors- for her surprising defeat to Donald Trump last fall.

The American people deserve better. — Al Gore (@algore) The former Vice President’s comments come months after the global warming alarmist feverishly attempted to explain a brutally cold winter throughout the Northern Hemisphere; bizarrely suggesting that global warming is now causing “global cooling.” Climate-change crusader Al Gore’s private mansion outside Nashville, Tennessee uses approximately 21x more energy than the average household in the United States; sparking fresh criticism for the former Vice President as he releases his new movie focusing on global warming. The new report, released by the National Center for Public Policy Research, analyzed information provided by the utility company that supplies electricity to the former Vice President’s estate. According to , the data shows Gore’s 10,000 square foot mansion used over 230,000 kilowatt hours over a twelve-month period. The United States Energy Information Administration estimates the average American household consumes only 11,000 kilowatt hours per year. “It makes you wonder if he believes what he’s actually saying,” said the author of the report. “Here’s a guy who’s basically exploited concerns about the environment to make $300 million dollars and win the Nobel Prize. It makes you wonder what his real agenda is.” “This is a guy who won’t take the steps in his own life to reduce his own energy consumption,” he added. Gore is currently promoting his new climate change film, “An Inconvenient Sequal: Truth to Power,” a follow-up to the award-winning documentary “An Incovenient Truth.” Climate scientists and global warming alarmists have yet another explanation for the frigid temperatures and multiple snowstorms pummeling the US this winter; arguing that “rising arctic temperatures” actually causes colder weather. The study, titled “ ,” was published online this week by Nature Communications. The academic journal claims “seesaw temperatures” are behind the giant winter storms that struck the east coast of the US this season. “As the Arctic transitions from a relatively cold state to a warmer one, the frequency of severe winter weather in mid-latitudes increases through the transition,” writes the article. “These findings suggest that the continuation of rapid Arctic warming and melting contribute to more frequent episodes of severe winter across the [Northern Hemisphere] mid-latitude continents,” adds the author. The study echoes comments made by notorious climate-change alarmist Al Gore last year, where he explained that the “bitter cold” gripping the US was “exactly” what one would expect as a result of global warming. It’s bitter cold in parts of the US, but climate scientist Dr. Michael Mann explains that’s exactly what we should expect from the climate crisis. — Al Gore (@algore) 'ISIS IS BACK': GOP Rep.

According to , Friends of Bernie Sanders spent $37,567 to rent private charter planes during the third quarter of 2017; using the luxury jets to fly across the country and deliver speeches calling for higher taxes and warning of the impacts of global warming. Official documents show the campaign renting the private aircraft from Apollo Jets, an aviation company that offers luxury planes that could potentially accommodate upwards of 500 people or “plush business class chairs for 50 or more.” “The scientific community is clear: Global warming is real and it is caused by human activity. In terms of droughts, heat waves, floods, forest fires, disease, rising sea levels and extreme weather disturbances, global warming is already causing devastating problems,” wrote Sanders in an op-ed by the Huffington Post in 2014. “A carbon tax must be a central part of our strategy for dramatically reducing carbon pollution,” he added.

Lawrence was speaking with Channel 4 to promote her upcoming movie when she made the outlandish comments, saying “human activity” was causing the massive storms and that the only way to address the issue is “through voting.” “I mean when the director was asked about the film, why it was so dark, he said, ‘It’s a mad time to be alive.’ And there is certainly an end of days feeling about it. For many people, in America who would say, [grimaces] perhaps it’s truer there at the moment than anywhere else,” said the actress. “It’s scary […] You know, it’s this new language that’s forming, I don’t even recognize it. It’s also scary to know, that climate change is due to human activity, and we continue to ignore it, and the only voice that we really have is through voting,” added Lawrence. “You know you’re watching these hurricanes now, and it’s really hard especially while promoting this movie, not to feel mother nature’s rage and wrath.” Lawrence’s comments come as Florida and other states in the southeastern United States brace for another devastating storm; this time Hurricane Irma –predicted to make landfall in Miami as a Category 4 hurricane.

From  : The U.S. Energy Department confirmed in recent days it is pressing ahead to begin enforcing a ban Aug. 1 on the manufacture and retail sale of most incandescent light bulbs as the latest measure to meet President Joe Biden’s “climate goals.” The move reverses a 2019 Trump administration decision. Team Biden first signaled the ban was coming when the Energy Department made revisions made back in to its “Cost-Saving Energy Efficiency Standards.” The initial rules gave lightbulb manufacturers two and a half months to phase out incandescent bulbs before the 2023 ban as part of a purported initiative to combat climate change and cut Americans’ energy costs. However, according to a free market consumer group, the claim that switching from incandescents to LED’s is the opposite of true.

Live Now Live Now Fox News’ Peter Doocy couldn’t get a straight answer on Monday when he asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre if President Joe Biden thought America’s big cities are safe. “Does President Biden think Doocy began. “We know that deaths and robberies are up about 20 percent in the first half of this year, so I’m wondering if he thinks America’s big cities are safe.” KJP went into a very long, convoluted non-answer. “Look, this is a president who has secured historic funding to make sure law enforcement has what it needs. And he was able to do this in the face of opposition from Republicans,” Jean-Pierre responded. “Jean-Pierre went on to say that Biden’s American Rescue Plan included ‘more than $300 billion’ in funding for states and local groups to hire more law enforcement,” Fox reports. Doocy tried to keep KJP on track: “Just the original question: Does President Biden think America’s big cities are safe?” Doocy pressed. “It is not a yes or no question. It is very much a question of what has he done…to make sure that cities…have the funding and have what they need to protect their community, and that is what the president has done,” Jean-Pierre responded. A recent ABC/WaPo poll shows crime is a more important issue to voters than abortion. From : According to the survey produced for ABC News by Langer Research Associates in New York City, the economy (89%), education (77%) (76%) topped out the issues voters consider “highly important” as midterms loom, but those issues were followed closely by crime at 69%, which beat out abortion at 62%. Immigration and climate change brought up the rear at 61% and 50%, respectively. Asked which political party they trust to do a better job handling key issues, respondents answered 52% in favor of the Republican Party when it comes to crime, compared to 38% for Democrats. The researchers noted that among respondents regarding crime is the highest it has been since 1991.

Sign-Up to the Newsletter. Live Now Live Now Well, Joe —you’ve been outfoxed. According to a report from The Daily Wire, President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act is set to provide a $7,500 tax credit as an incentive to help Americans go green. Only one problem: Ford and GM just raised their EV prices by pretty much that exact amount. From : Citing “significant material cost increases and other factors,” Ford’s revealed price hikes between $6,000 and $8,500 for its electric vehicles. The F-150 Lightning Pro, for example, will sell for $46,974 — a $7,000 increase from the $39,947 for last year’s model. GM likewise the cost of its electric Hummer by $6,250 last month. The price hikes are comparable to the $7,500 tax credits for new electric vehicles included in the $740 billion Inflation Reduction Act, which currently awaits President Joe Biden’s signature. The legislation earmarks a total of $369 billion to combat “the existential crisis of climate change,” according to from Biden. “It addresses the climate crisis and strengthens our energy security, creating jobs manufacturing solar panels, wind turbines, and electric vehicles in America with American workers,” Biden said of the bill. “It lowers families’ energy costs by hundreds of dollars each year.” This certainly isn’t doing much to support the White House’s “just go buy an electric car” narrative.

Manchin previously said Build Back was dead —and he’s still saying it, despite supporting the slimmed-down package. “For too long, the reconciliation debate in Washington has been defined by how it can help advance Democrats’ political agenda called Build Back Better,” Manchin said. “Build Back Better is dead, and instead we have the opportunity to make our country stronger by bringing Americans together.” “I now propose and will vote for the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.

Former President Barack Obama has the luxury of ordering three massive propane tanks for his Martha’s Vineyard property. As energy and gas prices soar across the country, “The office of the select board of Edgartown, Massachusetts, told The Daily Caller News Foundation that an application for an ‘underground propane installment was approved at the 79 Turkeyland Cove Road address,’ the location of a property owned by former President Barack Obama.” “The tanks are to be used for ‘residential purposes,’ the office told The DCNF. They also hold a total capacity approved of “2,500 gallons which was broken into two 1,000 gallon tanks and one 500 gallon tank.” reports on the hypocrisy of the former President who fronted himself as a champion of the environment: Although propane gas yields fewer carbon emissions than oil and coal, it is still considered a fossil fuel, and the massive installation at the Obama estate is not exactly environmentally friendly. Propane combustion produces numerous waste products such as particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, nitrous oxide, carbon monoxide, greenhouse gas, methane and non-methane overall organic carbon. For the average American household, propane gas is increasingly becoming more expensive. Americans who use propane to heat their homes can expect to spend 54% more to run and maintain their homes due to increased energy prices, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Obama has consistently argued for the importance of fighting climate change and limiting fossil fuel emissions, saying that “no challenge poses a greater threat to our children, our planet, and future generations than climate change” and pledging to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 26-28% below 2005 levels by 2025. In 2021, Obama spoke at the COP26 climate change summit, saying “our planet has been wounded by our actions,” specifically related to rising global temperature trends. Obama’s multi-million dollar home was also the venue for his extravagant 475-guest 60th birthday bash amid the Delta coronavirus variant outbreak in the summer of 2021.

Jim Banks (R-IN) says Congress must prioritize holding Fauci and public health bureaucrats accountable for overreaching during the pandemic. “If Congress fails to hold the Fauci clique accountable, and fails to reform public health agencies, we will be giving far-left bureaucrats a blank check to shut the country down whenever they want to,” Banks told Breitbart News. “We need to send a message that the restrictions, the mandates and the school closures can never happen again.” The Republican Study Committee memo stresses that “trust in the public health bureaucracy is at a historic low, and … public health bureaucrats weaponized the public health bureaucracy to advance leftist policy goals.” For years, the Left has been using ‘public health’ as an excuse to advance its radical agenda,” the memo explained. “Republicans are poised to take back the House majority next year, and Banks’s memo could serve as a roadmap on how to rein in the NIH, CDC, and other unaccountable public health bureaucracies in the federal government. Banks said Congress could use the purse strings to defund woke spending at the agencies and oversight to hold public health officials accountable,” Breitbart reports. “The RSC [memo] said that the breadth of public health has expanded to include nontraditional policy issues from ‘racism to policing to gun rights to the minimum wage,’” Breitbart continues.

The order, however, fails to even mention the pandemic, or any other actual public health issues. Instead, it simply takes the notion that climate change is a public health issue for granted.

Live Now Live Now Karine Jean-Pierre made her debut at the podium, officially stepping into Jen Psaki’s shoes as White House Press Secretary. Fox News reporter Peter Doocy wasted no time asking Jean-Pierre some tough questions. First, Doocy asked about the Biden Administration’s call to raise taxes on wealthy corporations. “Karine, congratulations, it’s nice to see you up there,” Doocy began. “The president’s Twitter account posted the other day if you wanna bring down inflation, let’s make sure the wealthiest corporations pay their fair share. How does raising taxes on corporations reduce inflation?” “Um, so, are you talking about a specific tweet?” Jean-Pierre replied. Doocy then referenced the following tweet, sent by Joe Biden, on May 13th: “You want to bring down inflation? Let’s make sure the wealthiest corporations pay their fair share.” You want to bring down inflation? Let’s make sure the wealthiest corporations pay their fair share. — Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) “Look, we have talked about, um, we have talked about this past year, about making sure that the wealthiest among us are paying their fair share, and that is important to do. That is something the president has been working on everyday when we talk about inflation and lowering costs, so it’s very important that as we’re seeing costs rise, as we’re talking about how to, you know, build an America that’s equal for everyone and doesn’t leave anyone behind, that is an important part of that as well,” Jean-Pierre said. “But how does raising taxes on corporations lower the cost of gas, the cost of a used car, the cost of food for everyday Americans?” Doocy replied. “So I think we encourage those who have done very well, especially those who care about climate change, to support a fairer tax code that doesn’t charge manufacturers workers, cops, builders a higher percentage of their earnings, that the most fortunate people in our nation, and not let that stand in the way of reducing energy costs and fighting an existential problem if you think about it, that is an example. To support basic collective bargaining rights as well.” “But look, by not, without, having a fairer tax code, which is what I’m talking about, then all, like, manufacture workers, cops, you know, it’s not fair for them to have to pay higher taxes than the folks who are not paying taxes at all,” she continued. Doocy also asked KJP why President Biden was visiting Buffalo but never visited Waukesha after the Christmas parade attack that killed 6 people. “How come the President is visiting Buffalo after a senseless tragedy there, but he couldn’t visit Waukesha…?” Doocy asked. “He’s visited many communities…that’s not the first one, so, he’s been to many others,” KJP responds.

Live Now Live Now Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) released a statement Tuesday morning in response to the record-high inflation numbers shared by the Biden Administration; the Senator shared the following on Twitter: “Let me be clear, inflation is a tax and today’s historic inflation data tells another chilling story about how these taxes on Americans are completely out of control. Hard earned wages and financial savings are disappearing faster every month as prices continue to climb, while the pain and frustration of spending more on everyday items lingers over us all, especially among those who can afford it the least. Americans are seeing some of the largest increases in goods such as gas up 48%, beef up 16%, chicken and milk up 13%, and staples like coffee and eggs are up 11%. “When will this end? It is a disservice to the American people to act as if inflation is a new phenomenon. The Federal Reserve and the Administration failed to act fast enough, and today’s data is a snapshot in time of the consequences being felt across the country. Instead of acting boldly, our elected leaders and the Federal Reserve continue to respond with half-measures and rhetorical failures searching for where to lay the blame. The American people deserve the truth about why record inflation is happening and what must be done to control it. “Here is the truth, we cannot spend our way to a balanced, healthy economy and continue adding to our $30 trillion national debt. Getting inflation under control will require more aggressive action by a Federal Reserve that waited too long to act. It demands the Administration and Congress, Democrats and Republicans alike, support an all-the-above energy policy because that is the only way to bring down the high price of gas and energy while attacking climate change. The United States of America is equipped to be energy independent from Russia and other terror-sponsoring countries while also working to fight global climate change and break our dependence on the critical mineral supply change from China. “The inflation number today is only the beginning unless we take immediate action to address the pain being felt across our nation. This is one problem facing the American people that one political party alone cannot fix. The American people cannot wait any longer.” According to Tuesday morning’s repot, consumer inflation rising to 8.5%, the largest 12 month increase in four decades.

Sign-Up to the Newsletter. Live Now Live Now Radical Senator Bernie Sanders threw more cold-water on the bipartisan infrastructure bill Thursday evening; saying the legislation “must be defeated” to leverage another package that “deals with the existential threat of climate change.” “It is an absurd way to do business, to be negotiating a multi-trillion-dollar bill a few minutes before a major vote with virtually nobody knowing what’s going on. That’s unacceptable. And I think what has got to happen is that tonight, the bipartisan infrastructure bill must be defeated,” Sanders said Thursday evening. “So I want to see the infrastructure bill passed, but it’s absolutely imperative that we pass a strong, reconciliation bill that deals with the needs of working families, and it deals with the existential threat of climate change,” he continued. Moderate Democratic Senator Kyrsten Sinema joined Joe Manchin in opposition to their own party’s massive $3.5 trillion spending plan Thursday; throwing the scheduled vote into doubt as leadership huddles with Members of Congress. “Sen. Sinema said publicly more than two months ago, before Senate passage of the bipartisan infrastructure bill, that she would not support a bill costing $3.5 trillion,” she said in a statement posted on Twitter. “In August, she shared detailed concerns and priorities, including dollar figures, directly with Senate Majority Leader [Charles] Schumer [D-N.Y.] and the White House.” “Claims that the senator has not detailed her views to  and Sen. Schumer are false,” she added. “While we do not negotiate through the press — because Sen. Sinema respects the integrity of those direct negotiations — she continues to engage directly in good-faith discussions with both President Biden and Sen. Schumer to find common ground.” : Sinema joins Manchin in doubling down against $3.5 trillion spending target — The Hill (@thehill) Manchin spoke with the press outside the US Capitol Thursday afternoon. “My top-line has been $1.5 [trillion],” Manchin told the crowd, saying he doesn’t want Congress to “change our whole society to an entitlement mentality.” : Manchin says his spending limit is $1.5 trillion — The Hill (@thehill) “I didn’t think any of this was needed at this time.

Fading Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders unveiled his “Housing for All” plan Wednesday; calling for $2.5 trillion in new spending to expand government programs for low-income Americans. “In the richest country in the history of the world, every American must have a safe, decent, accessible, and affordable home as a fundamental right,” Sanders. “For more than 40 years, we have had an affordable housing crisis in America that has only gotten worse. In America today, over 18 million families are paying more than 50 percent of their income on housing, while last year alone the five largest banks on Wall Street made a record-breaking $111 billion in profits.” “If we are serious about addressing the affordable housing crisis, we need to build millions of apartments and homes throughout the country that will remain affordable in perpetuity to prevent displacement and serve future generations. And when we do that, we will create millions of good-paying jobs in the process,” adds Bernie. The new proposal calls for $1.48 trillion to “build, rehabilitate, and preserve” affordable housing across the United States. It calls for an additional $400 billion to construct 2 million new “units” and $500 million for “development in rural areas.” Read Sanders’ full plan . 'ISIS IS BACK': GOP Rep.

Newsom not doing so hot 😂 — thehardhatintellectual (@hardhatintellec) “It would be nice if our homegrown team would be focusing on what’s right,” Newsom yelled. “Everybody outside this state is b****ing about this state.” “Guys, forgive me, I know I am a little pointed today but I’ve been taking a lot from you folks for a lot of months,” Newsom added. “I should be able to express myself, too.” “I’m a future ex-governor,” he later admitted. “It could happen in a few weeks, it could happen in a few years.

A new survey from Emerson shows 48% are now against the recall and 46% support removing Newsom. “As it turns out, COVID is re-emerging,” said Golden State political insider Darry Sragow. “And now the fact is the governor is going to have to handle it in a way that reassures these Democratic voters.” “How close the recall turns out to be depends on exactly one thing and only one thing,” Sragow said. “And that is whether Democrats take the time to vote.” BREAKING: New Inside California Politics/Emerson College Poll shows support for the recall of Governor Gavin Newsom has increased just in the last couple of weeks. 54% of Hispanic respondents say they would vote to recall the Governor. — Ashley Zavala (@ZavalaA) A Los Angeles Sergeant with the Police Protective League sounded the alarm last month after Gavin Newsom dismissed rising crime and felonies taking place all over California; saying the Governor is living in a “fantasy world.” “That’s a fantasy world.

That statement is not true. The numbers don’t lie,” she added. Read the full report at An from two academics at the University of California, Berkeley published by the New York Times now claims that California’s impending recall election of Gavin Newsom violates the United States Constitution. “There Is a Problem With California’s Recall. It’s Unconstitutional,” claim the Dean and Professor. “The most basic principles of democracy are that the candidate who gets the most votes is elected and that every voter gets an equal say in an election’s outcome. The California system for voting in a recall election violates these principles and should be declared unconstitutional.” “By conducting the recall election in this way, Mr. Newsom can receive far more votes than any other candidate but still be removed from office. Many focus on how unfair this structure is to the governor, but consider instead how unfair it is to the voters who support him,” add the academics. “Imagine that 10 million people vote in the recall election and 5,000,001 vote to remove Mr. Newsom, while 4,999,999 vote to keep him in office. He will then be removed and the new governor will be whichever candidate gets the most votes on the second question. In a recent poll, the talk show host Larry Elder was leading with 18 percent among the   on the ballot. With 10 million people voting, Mr. Elder would receive the votes of 1.8 million people. Mr. Newsom would have the support of almost three times as many voters, but Mr. Elder would become the governor,” they write. “The stakes for California are enormous, not only for who guides us through our current crises — from the pandemic to drought, wildfires and homelessness — but also for how we choose future governors. The Constitution simply does not permit replacing a governor with a less popular candidate,” conclude the Berkeley faculty. Read the full op-ed in the 'ISIS IS BACK': GOP Rep.

In America today, over 18 million families are paying more than 50 percent of their income on housing, while last year alone the five largest banks on Wall Street made a record-breaking $111 billion in profits.” “If we are serious about addressing the affordable housing crisis, we need to build millions of apartments and homes throughout the country that will remain affordable in perpetuity to prevent displacement and serve future generations.

The new proposal calls for $1.48 trillion to “build, rehabilitate, and preserve” affordable housing across the United States.

MoC are frequently asked to visit Israel to “see things for ourselves.” But Netanyahu choosing to ban the only 2 Muslim women in Congress from entering tells the US that only *some* Americans are welcome to Israel, not all. Trump is exporting his bigotry &making matters worse. — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denied access to the country for Representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib Thursday; saying they routinely “deny Israel’s legitimacy” and call for a boycott against the Jewish State. Read his full statement below: No country in the world respects America and the American Congress more than the State of Israel. As a free and vibrant democracy, Israel is open to critics and criticism with one exception: Israeli law prohibits the entry into Israel of those who call for and work to impose boycotts on Israel, as do other democracies that prohibit the entry of people who seek to harm the country. In fact, in the past the US did this to an Israeli member of Knesset, as well as to other public figures from around the world. Congresswomen Tlaib and Omar are leading activists in promoting the legislation of boycotts against Israel in the American Congress. Only a few days ago, we received their itinerary for their visit in Israel, which revealed that they planned a visit whose sole objective is to strengthen the boycott against us and deny Israel’s legitimacy. For instance: they listed the destination of their trip as Palestine and not Israel, and unlike all Democratic and Republican members of Congress who have visited Israel, they did not request to meet any Israeli officials, either from the government or the opposition. A week ago, Israel warmly welcomed some 70 Democratic and Republican members of Congress, who expressed broad bipartisan support for Israel, which was also demonstrated a month ago in a resounding bipartisan vote against BDS in Congress. However, the itinerary of the two Congresswomen reveals that the sole purpose of their visit is to harm Israel and increase incitement against it. In addition, the organization that is funding their trip is Miftah, which is an avid supporter of BDS, and among whose members are those who have expressed support for terrorism against Israel. Therefore, the minister of interior has decided not to allow their visit, and I, as prime minister, support his decision. Nonetheless, if Congresswoman Tlaib submits a humanitarian request to visit her relatives, the minister of interior has announced that he will consider her request on the condition that she pledges not to act to promote boycotts against Israel during her visit.

Live Now Live Now Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden released details of his new “task force” with far-left Senator Bernie Sanders Thursday; calling for a “unity platform” that demands a $15 minimum wage, a halt on deportations for illegal immigrants, and “reparations.” “The initiative represents an effort to bring together the more radical elements of the party – those who had supported Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist – along with Biden’s more centrist candidacy. The task force’s mission, according to a statement, is to address six key areas: climate change, criminal justice reform, the economy, education, health care and immigration,” reports Fox News. “Though the end result is not what I or my supporters would have written alone, the task forces have created a good policy blueprint that will move this country in a much-needed progressive direction,” Sanders said in a statement. Biden, meanwhile, said it was a “bold, transformative platform for our party and for our country.” “And I am deeply grateful to Senator Sanders for working together to unite our party, and deliver real, lasting change for generations to come,” he said. “Democrats commit to the important first step of supporting H.R. 40, which would establish a commission to examine how the legacy of 246 years of slavery and another century of Jim Crow segregation continues to impact the economic prospects of Black Americans today, and to recommend remedies,” it says.

If he’s held back in any way, that’s almost the antithesis of who he is.” “I think it’s the wrong approach,” they added. “Joe Biden has spoken his mind his entire life, which voters know and love about him,” said Biden’s deputy campaign manager. “He’s a real person, he’s authentic, and that will never change. He’s going to keep taking on Trump and making the case to voters about the stakes we face in this election, regardless of how the press chooses to cover him.” President Trump routinely refers to Biden as “sleepy Joe.” Former senior Obama advisor David Axelrod weighed-in on Joe Biden’s recent speaking gaffes on the campaign trail this week; saying the Democratic frontrunner is in serious danger of “serially distorting his own record.” “It’s one thing to have a well-earned rep for goofy, harmless gaffes.

The NYPD reported Tuesday that roughly 15% of uniformed officers, about 5,600, are currently out sick amid the coronavirus pandemic. Police Commissioner Dermot Shea called it “a good thing quite frankly” because he said he doesn’t want anyone coming to work sick. As of Tuesday evening, 1,048 uniformed members and 145 civilian members tested positive for coronavirus Shea also said in a question and answer session with officers that the NYPD has had 17 people come back to work after testing positive and recovering since Friday. 4:05 PM ET – Bill O’Reilly, the best-selling author of 15 instant #1 books including the #1 “Killing” series of histories, and his latest book on the life of Donald Trump titled “The United States of Trump: How the President Really Sees or an hour to talk America”; He is also the host of the popular daily podcast “No Spin” on billoreilly.com. From his most recent column: The vicious contagion presents perhaps the most significant personal opportunity for change in our lifetimes. That’s because the bustle has broken down. The pursuit of money, sex, power, and other magnets are all on hold. We are now apart from the daily machine that can grind us into unthinking, callous people. At least most of us are. So, how about some introspection? Some inward evaluation. An honest appraisal of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Maybe we start with the country and then we’ll get to what’s really important – our own selves – as the country singers might say. An essential question for me is: how did this country get so hateful? If you are following the contagion news, you know the blame game has kicked in. It’s the ‘Trump virus,’ according to a New York Times columnist. Another far left writer in that liberal journal (it no longer meets the standards of a newspaper) says the virus is enabled by ultra-religious Christians who ‘deny science.’ Of course, she ties that into the climate change debate as well as President Trump. On the right, some loons accuse China of weaponizing the contagion without a shred of evidence to back up the claim. With so much craziness available on the net, often disseminated by corporate media, the divisive atmosphere has fueled a unique kind of American loathing. Many of us actively despise those with whom we disagree. 5:05 PM ET – Dr. Oz, Cardiac Surgeon and Host of The Dr. Oz Show joins to give us the latest news on a vaccine and the state of COVID-19. He talks about the lack of PPE for our front line responders and workers. Already there is a strain that the coronavirus outbreak is placing on the U.S. healthcare system and it endangers the resources we currently have and our ability to respond to the pandemic, according to Dr. Oz. But when Dr. Oz said “It’s your patriotic duty to not use a mask,” he was referring to the fact that we don’t have enough of them. It’s critical that healthcare workers have access to the masks first. 'ISIS IS BACK': GOP Rep.

Sign-Up to the Newsletter. Live Now Live Now A sickening new article published by the New York Times Friday viciously claims the “road to Coronavirus hell” was “paved by Evangelicals” and other religious Americans; directly blaming hundreds of deaths and thousands of infections on people of faith. “Donald Trump rose to power with the determined assistance of a movement that denies science, bashes government and prioritized loyalty over professional expertise. In the current crisis, we are all reaping what that movement has sown,” writes Katherine Stewart. “By all accounts, President Trump’s tendency to trust his gut over the experts on issues like vaccines and climate change does not come from any deep-seated religious conviction. But he is perfectly in tune with the religious nationalists who form the core of his base. In his daily briefings from the White House, Mr. Trump actively disdains and contradicts the messages coming from his own experts and touts as yet unproven cures,” adds the author. “When a strong centralized response is needed from the federal government, it doesn’t help to have an administration that has never believed in a federal government serving the public good. Ordinarily, the consequences of this kind of behavior don’t show up for some time. In the case of a pandemic, the consequences are too obvious to ignore,” Stewart concludes.

Despite the region’s escalating homeless crisis, rampant drug use, skyrocketing rents, and illegal immigration, San Francisco set its sights on the biggest scourge facing the city: E-Cigarettes.

Cigarettes and other tobacco products will remain legal in the city, along with recreational marijuana,” reports Bloomberg. “This is groundbreaking legislation that shows local governments are prepared to step up,” [City Attorney Dennis Herrera] said. “What you will see in the aftermath of this legislation is other jurisdictions looking at what they might be prepared to do to protect their young people.” California’s escalating homeless crisis took a turn for the worse last month, with local reporters finding San Francisco’s transient population living in makeshift tree houses across the Bay Area. “The occupants of five to six ramshackle tree houses built in a private industrial park near Stevenson Boulevard and I-880 in Fremont are facing eviction,” reports . “Crews equipped with chainsaws and handsaws have begun clearing out the structures and cutting off limbs in order to make it harder to reoccupy and easier to spot the homeless who are taking refuge in the trees. They are about halfway through the long line of more than 60 eucalyptus trees,” the local news channel. “I think it’s a good idea actually, I think it’s actually something that people would benefit from if we had the right knowledge of trees,” said one homeless man. “There’s a lot of us women who work here late … so I’m worried that I could be in danger,” added a female worker employed in the industrial park. San Francisco’s residents continued to flee the region’s escalating homeless crisis this week; with new statistics showing the local transient population increasing by 17% since 2017 as officials pledge more than $300 million annually to regain control.

We don’t want your apology, we don’t want you as our President,” said another. Watch New Yorkers’ reactions above. 'ISIS IS BACK': GOP Rep.

Walmart –the largest single employer in multiple states throughout the nation- released an official statement this week, saying the megastore will raise its hourly wage for all associates to $11, expand maternity leave, and give out $1,000 in bonuses to eligible employees. “Today, we are building on investments we’ve been making in associates, in their wages and skills development,”  . “It’s our people who make the difference and we appreciate how they work hard to make every day easier for busy families.” “We are early in the stages of assessing the opportunities tax reform creates for us to invest in our customers and associates and to further strengthen our business, all of which should benefit our shareholders,” he added.

Frankly, I believe the Prime Minister has ruined what was once a fair and orderly system that focused on protecting the world’s most vulnerable and aiding their integration into Canada,” said one conservative member of Parliament. “This is because since January 2017, over 30,000 individuals have illegally crossed the border from the United States into Canada and subsequently claimed asylum in our country,” she added.

Would you be courageous enough to discuss this issue and make it a key feature of a plan to address climate catastrophe?” asked an audience member. “The answer is yes. Women have a right to control their own bodies and make reproductive decisions… In poor countries around the world, where women do not want to have large numbers of babies, where they can have the opportunity to use birth control to control the number of kids they have, is something I very strongly support,” said Sanders.

Sanders claims the proposal will “pay for itself” over a 15 year period; requiring more than 20 million new jobs. “Climate change is a global emergency.

I’m not even sure why any of these candidates are running,” said Sanders. “I’m not even sure Joe Biden knows what election he’s in or what position he’s running for. He seems to be so confused all the time,” she added. Former Vice President Joe Biden blind-sided a climate change activist during a speaking event last Friday; demanding the young voter “look into his eyes” just days after the frontrunner’s eye filled with blood during a televised town hall. “How can we trust that you’re going to act on the climate crisis if you’re still attending fundraisers that fossil fuel executives like Andy Goldman are at?” asked a young voter. “Kiddo, I want you to just take a look,” Biden said. “You don’t have to agree, but I want you to look in my eyes.

The House of Representatives overwhelmingly rejected Ilhan Omar’s anti-Israeli legislation Tuesday; ending her quest to boycott the Jewish State in a lopsided 398-to-17 landslide. “The 398-to-17 vote, with five members voting present, came after a debate that was equally lopsided; no one in either party spoke against the measure. The House’s two most vocal backers of the boycott movement — Representatives Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, freshman Democrats and the first two Muslim women in Congress — did not participate in the floor debate,” reports the . “However, earlier in the day, Ms. Tlaib, who is Palestinian-American, delivered an impassioned speech in defense of the boycott movement. She branded Israel’s policies toward Palestinians ‘racist’ and invoked American boycotts of Nazi Germany, among others, as an example of what she described as a legitimate economic protest to advance human rights around the world,” adds the . “I stand before you as the daughter of Palestinian immigrants, parents who experienced being stripped of their human rights, the right to freedom of travel, equal treatment,” said Tlaib. “So I can’t stand by and watch this attack on our freedom of speech and the right to boycott the racist policies of the government and the state of Israel.” The bill supported the BDS -or Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions- movement; a push to boycott Israeli goods and services to support Palestinian statehood. “Americans of conscience have a proud history of participating in boycotts to advocate for human rights abroad including … boycotting Nazi Germany from March 1933 to October 1941 in response to the dehumanization of the Jewish people in the lead-up to the Holocaust,” Omar said in the resolution introduced Tuesday. Congressman Lee Zeldin slammed the bill, saying “Israel is our best ally in the Mid East; a beacon of hope, freedom & liberty, surrounded by existential threats. Shame on Rep Omar for bringing her hateful twist on that reality to House Foreign today, propping up the BDS movement & blaming Israel for all of its challenges.” Author Marianne Williamson left millions of television viewers scratching their heads Tuesday night; bizarrely suggesting President Trump has awakened a “dark psychic force” during the Democratic debate. “This is part of the dark underbelly of American society, the racism, the bigotry, and the entire conversation that we’re having here tonight. If you think any of this wonkiness is going to deal with this dark psychic force of the collectivized hatred that this president is bringing up in this country, then I’m afraid that the Democrats are going to see some very dark days,” said Williamson. Progressive and moderate Democrats squared-off Tuesday night on the first round of CNN’s presidential debates; with centrist lawmakers calling far-left policies “fairytale economics.” “The ideological divide between Democratic presidential hopefuls came into focus Tuesday as leading progressive candidates Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren defended their liberal policies on healthcare and immigration against surprisingly energetic attacks from moderate rivals,” reports . “The fault lines emerged immediately in the second debate of the 2020 Democratic primary race, with lesser-known candidates taking sharp digs and warning that forcing radical change could ensure President Donald Trump’s re-election,” adds the .

They’re telling you that they will not fight for you. Not me. I’m here to fight for our country,” posted Warren on social media. “Another thing: When candidates promise voters that they’ll solve all their problems, it’s a lie, & it causes resentment.

Top economists say the price-tag for Warren’s proposals will likely top $100 trillion. Warren unveiled her latest plan to combat climate change last Monday; suggesting the use of the US military to confront global warming. “In short, climate change is real, it is worsening by the day, and it is undermining our  .

It’s also the  government consumer of energy, and it’s dependent on fossil fuels. The Pentagon spends about   a year to power its bases at fixed locations and consumes   of barrels of fuel per year,” she . “Nibbling around the edges of the problem is no longer enough — the urgency of the moment demands more. That’s why today I am introducing my Defense Climate Resiliency and Readiness Act to harden the U.S. military against the threat posed by climate change, and to leverage its huge energy footprint as part of our climate solution,” concludes Warren.

More than I think you anticipated,” Biden said. “There was a discussion and I think a mild misrepresentation of what was going on relative to climate.” “I just want to be very clear to everyone here: I am committed to not raising money from fossil fuel executives and I am not doing that tonight,” Biden added. “Climate change presents an existential threat, and it is real.” One problem for Biden: The event was hosted by a co-founder of a major fossil fuel company.

But since then Biden’s online fundraising has tumbled — looking more like flash-in-the-pan opponent Beto O’Rourke than top-tier rivals like Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren,” reports . “More than 60 percent of the $13.2 million Biden has raised online came in the first week of his campaign, which launched in late April, according to a POLITICO analysis of data from the Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue.

Women have a right to control their own bodies and make reproductive decisions… In poor countries around the world, where women do not want to have large numbers of babies, where they can have the opportunity to use birth control to control the number of kids they have, is something I very strongly support,” said Sanders.

It’s our responsibility to not just wait to see what happens, but to actually fight back.

Because the truth is, we have Republican legislatures across this country that are trying to deny black people the right to vote,” said Gillibrand. “Just look at what happened in Georgia?

Sign-Up to the Newsletter. Live Now Live Now Failing presidential hopeful Kirsten Gillibrand is facing new criticism from an unlikely source this week: Her own campaign staffers, with insiders saying it’s time for the New York Senator to quit her run for the White House. “It’s time for Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s sputtering presidential campaign to call it quits, a friend of hers and two former aides told The [New York] Post,” writes the . “It would be best if she decided that this was not her time,” said one longtime supporter. Senator Gillibrand has struggled to gain any traction on the national stage, with many in the news media announcing her candidacy dead on arrival. She likely won’t make it to the third debate, as she’s failed to secure 130,000 individual donors. As a last ditch effort, Gillibrand and her team are selling shirts for $1 a piece in hopes that she will cross the unique donor threshold.  She’s currently lagging behind lower-tier candidates Rep. Tulsi Gabbard and Marianne Williamson, both of whom have secured the minimum requirement. “Most people that I talk to are very happy with her as their senator and don’t want her to give up her Senate seat and don’t see any realistic traction for her,” said another insider. Gillibrand has until August 28th to gather the support. Read the full report at the . Failing Democratic presidential candidate Kirsten Gillibrand unveiled her own version of the ‘Green New Deal’ Thursday; pledging $10 trillion to fight climate change over the next ten years if elected in 2020. “Polar ice and glaciers are melting at a rapid pace. Heavy rains are causing catastrophic flooding in the Midwest, leaving farms submerged and homes and businesses destroyed. Changes in our oceans are disrupting fisheries and killing coral reefs. Droughts and wildfires are threatening communities across the West, and extreme weather is leaving millions of people without homes and causing billions of dollars in damage every year,” writes . “The scientific community is telling us that we only have a short amount of time to act if we’re going to prevent the most catastrophic and irreversible damage in the future. But President Trump refuses to even acknowledge that human-caused climate change is happening,” she . “Climate action should be this generation’s moonshot. To save our planet, the energy, talents, and commitment of every American will be required, from our farmers and workers to our scientists and entrepreneurs. The next president has to be willing to take bold leaps to lead this effort and stand up to the climate change deniers, polluters, and oil and gas special interests. I will, because we can’t afford not to,” concludes .

Ultra-liberal New York Senator and potential 2020 challenger Kirsten Gillibrand unloaded on President Trump this week; slamming the Commander-in-Chief after he questioned her ability to “get things done” in Congress during a fiery speech.

Sound familiar, ladies?” The President refuses to acknowledge the work I’ve gotten done. Sound familiar, ladies? — Kirsten Gillibrand (@SenGillibrand) Gillibrand made national headlines weeks ago when she called for the total abolishment of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency; saying the department was fundamentally broken and should be replaced. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand left millions of Americans scratching their heads during a campaign stop this week; calling social security a “right” for all illegal immigrants “in this country now.” Gillibrand was speaking with supporters on the campaign trail when she pushed her calls for a “comprehensive immigration reform” package that includes access to social security and a pathway to citizenship. “What will I do? I have a lot of ideas. First, we need comprehensive immigration reform. If you are in this country now, you must have the right to pay into social security, to pay your taxes, to pay into the local school system, and to have a pathway to citizenship. That must happen,” said Gillibrand to widespread applause. AnyClip Begin AnyClip End 'ISIS IS BACK': GOP Rep.

Vermont Senator and self-described Democratic Socialist Bernie Sanders slammed President Trump’s “lies” about his Medicare for All program this week; saying the Commander-in-Chief misled voters in a recently published op-ed piece.

It would guarantee everyone could get the health care they need without going into debt at far lower cost than the current dysfunctional system.” “Study after study shows that when we eliminate private insurance premiums, deductibles and co-payments, the average American will pay substantially less for health care than he or she currently pays,” writes Sanders.

Ratings for CNN, MSNBC, and other outlets have plummeted since the release of Robert Mueller’s “no collusion” report following two-years of non-stop coverage. CNN’s prime time coverage is down 16% in recent weeks, with MSNBC’s ‘The Rachel Maddow Show’ hitting its lowest levels since President Trump’s inauguration. “The Fake News Media has lost tremendous credibility with its corrupt coverage of the illegal Democrat Witch Hunt of your all time favorite duly elected President, me!

President Trump unloaded on the mainstream media Wednesday after “fake news” outlets reported on a bogus conspiracy theory regarding First Lady Melania Trump; saying “they are only getting more deranged with time.” “The Fake News photoshopped pictures of Melania, then propelled conspiracy theories that it’s actually not her by my side in Alabama and other places.

Social media giant Facebook is quietly introduced new technology that assigns its users a “trustworthiness score” between zero and one; ranking people who appear to be malicious actors as a method of cracking down on “fake news.” According to the , Facebook has been working on the software for more than a year in a prolonged campaign to remove individuals seeking to “game tech systems” for negative purposes. “The previously unreported ratings system, which Facebook has developed over the last year, shows that the fight against the gaming of tech systems has evolved to include measuring the credibility of users to help identify malicious actors,” writes the . The developers behind the project aren’t disclosing what factors will influence a user’s rating; adding the score will not be an “absolute indicator” and may fluctuate over time. “The score is one measurement among thousands of new behavioral clues that Facebook now takes into account as it seeks to understand risk. Facebook is also monitoring which users have a propensity to flag content published by others as problematic, and which publishers are considered trustworthy by user,” adds the article.

A few of them got here already and they’re dropping them off like really close,” said a campaign field manager. “I’m going to get some food right now and some stuff to drop off.” “Don’t ever repeat this stuff but like, if we just say we’re buying some food for an event, like Halloween events,” suggested another staffer. “That’s not a horrible idea, but I didn’t hear anything,” said the manager. “I think we can use that with [prepaid campaign debit cards] to buy some food, all that sh*t can be totally masked.” Former Texas Congressman and 2020 presidential hopeful Beto O’Rourke slammed Israel’s Prime Minister Wednesday; saying the Middle East peace process has largely failed because Benjamin Netanyahu has “openly sided with racists.” O’Rourke was speaking at a campaign event in New Hampshire this week when he lashed-out at America’s closest ally in the region. “Right now we don’t have the best negotiating partners on either side. We have a prime minister in Israel who has openly sided with racists,” said Beto. “On the Palestinian side, we have an ineffectual leader. Mahmoud Abbas has not been very effective in bringing his side to the table,” he added.

The climate change champion posted his environmental theory on social media, baselessly claiming that “bitter cold in parts of the US” can be explained by global warming; linking to an article from a “climate scientist.” “It’s bitter cold in parts of the US, but climate scientist Dr. Michael Mann explains that’s exactly what we should expect from the climate crisis,” he tweeted.

Sign-Up to the Newsletter. Live Now Live Now Over the weekend my old CNN boss, Jeff Zucker, participated in an interview at the South by Southwest (SXSW) gathering in Austin. According to news accounts he said this of Fox News:  “Frankly, it is really state-run TV. It is a pure propaganda machine and I think does an incredible disservice to this country. There are a handful of good journalists there, but I think they are lost in what — what is just a complete propaganda machine, and the idea that it’s a news channel is I think really not the case at all.” Really? With all due respect, one doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Jeff Zucker has said on occasion that he has wanted to run for political office. (And one suspects he would not be running as a Reagan conservative.)  But in fact he already holds office – as the  de facto  president of the Leftist State Media. Nominally he is the president of CNN, but in fact CNN is but one component part of the larger left-wing propaganda machine that composes the Leftist State Media. One can go for one’s news to CNN or MSNBC or ABC, CBS, NBC, the  New York Times , the  Washington Post , the Associated Press and countless internet outlets and see that Jeff’s presidential domain is considerable. Every last one of those outlets is about pushing the left-wing agenda of the moment – and oh yes, in this day and age attacking President Donald Trump. The Leftist State Media in modern America is what in another era, when the Soviet Union was alive and well, was called the Department for Agitation and Propaganda – or the ministry of propaganda whose sole function was shorthanded as “agitprop.” In those days there was only one official newspaper for the Soviet population –  Pravda  or “Truth.” In today’s American media world the “Truth” comes from – and only from – the Leftist State Media. Long before CNN – when Jeff Zucker was barely out of diapers – then-Vice President Spiro Agnew first discussed what he saw – way back there in 1969 – as a real problem with the media of the day. The Vietnam War was raging, and President Nixon had recently addressed the nation. Nixon had been followed by a collection of liberal television commentators who proceeded to tell the American people what they thought Nixon had  really  said. In a then-famous speech in, of all places, Des Moines, Iowa, carried live by the television networks of the day (there were only three, and cable news did not yet exist) Agnew said this: “The purpose of my remarks tonight is to focus your attention on this little group of men who not only enjoy a right of instant rebuttal to every Presidential address, but more importantly, wield a free hand in selecting, presenting, and interpreting the great issues of our nation. First, let us define that power. At least forty-million Americans each night, it is estimated, watch the network news. Seven million of them view ABC; the remainder being divided between NBC and CBS. According to Harris polls and other studies, for millions of Americans, the networks are the sole source of national and world news. In Will Rogers’ observation, what you knew was what you read in the newspaper. Today, for growing millions of Americans, it is what they see and hear on their television sets. How is this network news determined? A small group of men, numbering perhaps no more than a dozen “anchormen,” commentators, and executive producers, settle upon the 20 minutes or so of film and commentary that is to reach the public. This selection is made from the 90 to 180 minutes that may be available. Their powers of choice are broad. They decide what forty to fifty-million Americans will learn of the day’s events in the nation and the world. We cannot measure this power and influence by traditional democratic standards, for these men can create national issues overnight. They can make or break–by their coverage and commentary–a moratorium on the war. They can elevate men from local obscurity to national prominence within a week. They can reward some politicians with national exposure, and ignore others. For millions of Americans, the network reporter who covers a continuing issue, like ABM or Civil Rights, becomes, in effect, the presiding judge in a national trial by jury.  …A raised eyebrow, an inflection of the voice, a caustic remark dropped in the middle of a broadcast can raise doubts in a million minds about the veracity of a public official, or the wisdom of a government policy. One Federal Communications Commissioner considers the power of the networks to equal that of local, state, and federal governments combined. Certainly, it represents a concentration of power over American public opinion unknown in history. What do Americans know of the men who wield this power? Of the men who produce and direct the network news, the nation knows practically nothing. Of the commentators, most Americans know little, other than that they reflect an urbane and assured presence, seemingly well informed on every important matter. We do know that, to a man, these commentators and producers live and work in the geographical and intellectual confines of Washington, D.C. or New York City–the latter of which James Reston terms the “most unrepresentative community in the entire United States.” Both communities bask in their own provincialism, their own parochialism. We can deduce that these men thus read the same newspapers, and draw their political and social views from the same sources. Worse, they talk constantly to one another, thereby providing artificial reinforcement to their shared viewpoints.” The media problem Agnew described all the way back in 1969 – a full fifty years ago, when Donald Trump was a mere 23 years old and barely a year out of grad school – has now metastasized, dominating the vast media complex of today. The very prominence of New York’s Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the bartender-turned-congresswoman and media star, is the literal manifestation of Agnew’s point that the media “can elevate men from local obscurity to national prominence within a week.” Jeff Zucker also said this of Fox anchors: “They chose to work at Fox and they don’t get to hide behind the fact that they’re excellent journalists or anchors. The fact is they work at a place that has done tremendous damage to this country.” That statement all by itself is a perfect illustration of how President Zucker of the Leftist State Media sees his job – which is to arbitrarily declare his decidedly liberal opinion as fact. No wonder Jim Acosta feels free to do exactly the same thing. It is worth recalling that Fox News was created in 1996 – during the Clinton presidency, when CNN’s lavish pro-Clinton coverage had won it the derisive nickname the “Clinton News Network.” Fox was followed  three years later by Rush Limbaugh and the explosion of conservative talk radio. The reason for the success of Fox News and talk radio is exactly the failure of the Leftist State Media. Millions of Americans, doubtless unknowing in absorbing Agnew’s long-ago point, have had it up to their eyebrows going from one “news” outlet to another only to get some version of the exact same liberal spin. Example? Here is CNN on the Clinton-Trump race. The headline:  The story begins: “ The post-convention polls are in, and they consistently show Hillary Clinton entering the next phase of the presidential election campaign with the upper hand over Donald Trump.” Here is the  New York Times  in its “Upshot” column:  “The Upshot’s elections model suggests that Hillary Clinton is favored to win the presidency, based on  the latest state and national polls .  Here is  The Huffington Post :  The  HuffPost presidential forecast model  gives Democrat  Hillary Clinton  a 98.2 percent chance of winning the presidency. Republican Donald Trump  has essentially no path to an Electoral College victory.  And on and on went this business of one Leftist State Media outlet after another all saying exactly the same thing – Hillary Clinton was going to be the next president and Donald Trump had no way open to win. Change the subject from the 2016 election to, say, abortion, climate change, the economy or any of dozens of issues out there and time after time after time it makes no difference. You will get the left-wing agenda of the moment delivered by whatever outlet of the Leftist State Media you are choosing to watch or read. Let’s cut to the chase. The real reason for Jeff Zucker’s angst is that Fox News and conservative talk radio, not to mention all manner of conservative internet sites have broken the stranglehold of information that once was the sole preserve of the Leftist State Media. And the only way the LSM chieftains see to get their monopoly back is to literally try and take out Fox News and conservative commentators one by one, with Media Matters and others doing the dirty work. It is safe to say that that the Leftist State Media has in its midst “excellent journalists or anchors.” But when story after story after story is either wrong or obviously presented to further the Left’s favorite agenda item of the moment,  (Hillary certain to win! Trump friend Anthony Scaramucci tied to Russian investment fund! Trump told Cohen to lie to Congress! Trump and son tied to hacked documents from Wikileaks! Climate change report contradicts President! Covington kids confronted Indian elder and Vietnam veteran!) then in fact the Leftist State Media, in Jeff Zucker’s words, is for sure “a place that has done tremendous damage to this country.” In fact, it is safe to assume at this point that the members of the Leftist State Media simply can’t help themselves. They are so far gone from journalism that they will say and do anything to push the Left’s agenda, damaging not only the country but themselves. Which is exactly why Jeff Zucker’s CNN, the  Washington Post  and doubtless soon-to-be-others in the Leftist State Media now find themselves being sued for hundreds of millions of dollars for libeling sixteen year old Covington student Nick Sandmann. They simply could not stop themselves from doing it. And the irony? It is Fox News and conservative media that has assumed the journalistic task as described by CNN founder Ted Turner the day CNN first went on the air in June of 1980. “To provide information to people where it wasn’t available before.” Exactly. Pick up Jeffrey Lord’s . Out on May 28th. Click . As the Constitution states, Congress shall make no law “abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press.” These 1 st Amendment rights are where the main stream media has built their propaganda pedestal of mandatory inclusion in the White House.   Misconstruing these rights to fit their narrative, the media has convinced the public that they are the Fourth Estate of government and the watch dogs of those in government.  As I will show you, nothing is further from the truth. On the surface the media’s inclusion in the White House appears to be a compelling argument, especially when people misguidedly buy into the media’s constitutional lie.  Media personalities like CNN’s Brian Stelter, often use the phrases “Fourth Estate” and “government watch dog” as facts and truths.  For instance Stelter stated “Obama has said the right things about the Fourth Estate and signaled respect for the purpose of the Fourth Estate.”  Changing tone, Stelter vigorously criticized President Trump by saying “Donald Trump doesn’t say he respects the Fourth Estate. He very much says the opposite.” The idea of the Fourth Estate that Stelter refers to has been around since at least the late 1700’s, so it is safe to say the Founding Fathers were probably familiar with the term.  Yet even as they carefully and specifically worded the Constitution, there was no mention of a “Fourth Estate” of government or “media watch dogs” anywhere in the founding documents.  Instead, the Founders chose to focus on the rights and powers of the people.  Sorry Stelter. “The press” is a phrase that has been around since the 1300’s that refers to the printing press.  In the 1 st Amendment, “the press” was used to represent mass dissemination of information and the protection of an individual’s ability to share their beliefs or criticisms without fear of retribution.  In contrast, the phrase “the media” wasn’t coined until around the 1920’s and refers to the means of media as well as a term for the companies that collect and distribute information. Although it is clear that modern media businesses are protected by the 1 st Amendments rights, no one person or group is granted more freedom or privilege than the next, that includes media’s admittance to the White House. In the late 1800’s Oscar Wild spoke about the press, saying, “In old days men had the rack.  Now they have the press,” the racks Wild referred to were the government’s public racks that were used to restrain people by their head and arms for the purpose of public humiliation (whether they were guilty or innocent.) Today’s modern day main stream media often uses questioning and reporting as proverbial racks in the same manner to humiliate and restrict those who don’t fall in line with their political and/or ideological beliefs.  Those tactics resemble tyrannical behavior, which the Founders were against. Furthermore, the relationship between media and politicians has grown to mimic the same bipolar relationship between celebrities and paparazzi.  They both have grown to rely on each other, and they both manipulate reality and the truth.  That’s ok for promoting an entertainer but it has no place in government agencies. So let’s be clear with no uncertain terms, there is no Fourth Branch of government.  The only watch dog(s) of those that work in government is the citizenry, who coincidently also make up the inhabitants of the three branches of government. As I was taught in the military, never point out a problem without offering a solution.  So here it is, my groundbreaking solution to life without the D.C. press corps. known false information Bottom line, It is time the media is treated the same as any other citizen or company with respect to the 1 st Amendment and inclusion in government facilities.  When we use that scale of measurement it is clear media does not belong in the White House!

Where once Democratic Party leaders would have condemned bigotry among its members, today’s party has chosen to honor its newest media stars, freshmen members Tlaib, Omar, and Ocasio-Cortez, all unabashed anti-Semites, with coveted Committee assignments.  Tlaib sought support on a vote by evoking classic anti-Semitic appeals one would have thought were left in another political era.  She has posed in celebration with well-known terrorist supporters and America haters and has been honored and spoken to their fellow travelers.  Omar has publicly prayed to Allah to harm Israel, apologized, likened Israel to Iran, apologized, questioned the loyalty of any Congressman who supports Israel, and then doubled-down on her bigotry after finally being called out by one or two members of her party. A video recently surfaced with Ocasio-Cortez’s supporters chanting for the annihilation of Israel and its citizens and in 2017 her Party called for Israeli’s elimination.  And when one in the triumvirate is exposed as a bigot, the others rush to her support. Of course, they are not just a mutual support group.  Omar has the unique “honor” of being endorsed by both David Duke and Louis Farrakhan. Louis Farrakhan defends Ilhan Omar’s anti-Semitic rhetoric The Democratic Party leadership void is astonishing.  It has fallen on Jewish members to sheepishly speak out, but they stand alone.  Speaker Pelosi has been intimidated by this freshmen trio and has now allowed Ocasio-Cortez to become the de facto Party leader.  The current weak-kneed resolution effort at condemnation for anti-Semitism is nothing of the kind.  It continues to show that all principle has been abandoned and it sends a message that there will be no consequences for bigotry within the Party if condemnation might offend the far left. The diversity of ideas within a Party is to be celebrated and cherished; bigotry must be condemned, not rewarded.  It seems like just the other day, leading Democrats were fighting for media time to call out the Alt-Right’s purported support for the President as a sign that the administration endorsed bigotry by not immediately rejecting their support.  President Trump made the affirmative decision to speak out loudly and definitively against anti-Semitism in his State of the Union address.  He made clear that he will have no part of it and does not want its adherents among his supporters.  The Democratic Party’s leaders have chosen instead to reward their bigots with prime committee seats and so fear alienating the bigots’ supporters that they have chosen the ostrich pose in response.  The loss of the Democratic Party’s heart and soul is a loss for the whole country and perhaps irretrievably changes its historic legacy.  The only positive I see in any of these developments is that at least now this trio demonstrates their virulent bigotry openly and loudly.  It is most important to know and understand the enemy within. Anti-Semitism is a despicable scourge, but I would fight wholeheartedly for the rights of these bigots to publicly display their bigotry.  I have answered the ACLU’s call to represent the KKK in a battle to march with a mask while spewing their hatred.  When we know where the enemies to our nation’s values live, we can fight their bigotry in the marketplace of ideas and send a message in our public statements and with our votes to the leaders of a Party that now welcomes and honors bigots among its members.  Not in our name.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez opened the door for Amazon to return to the Big Apple this week; saying the technology giant must “consult” local communities that would be impacted by the new headquarters. “One of the most concerning aspects in what happened with the deal previously is you have all of these folks in Long Island City, in Sunnyside, in Woodside and all the way out to Jackson Heights, that will be impacted by this and they were not consulted,” said Cortez at her New York City office Monday. “What [Ocasio-Cortez] was vocal about was the process by which it happened,” her Chief of Staff told Bloomberg TV. “The deal was sort of sprung on the community without any input and there’s a real cost whenever tech companies come in without community input, rents go up, people get evicted, there’s an actual human cost that is associated with Amazon coming in.” Cortez found herself in hot-water among New Yorkers after her fiery rhetoric and fierce opposition forced Amazon to abandon their plans to relocate to the Big Apple; effectively killing 25,000 new jobs and upwards of $27 billion in tax revenue.

Kamala Harris doubled-down on her highly-criticized ‘Medicare for All’ program Wednesday after facing a fierce backlash over her proposal to “eliminate” private insurance companies across the United States. A spokesperson for the campaign pushed back after multiple media outlets reported the firebrand legislator was “backtracking” from comments made at a town hall event this week. “Medicare-for-all is the plan that she believes will solve the problem and get all Americans covered.

Governor Andrew Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio found themselves in hot-water this week with Big Apple residents “furious” after they discovered the two leaders agreed to $1.5 billion in taxpayer subsidies for Amazon’s new headquarters in the borough of Queens. The prominent Democrats were accused of an “immoral waste of taxpayers’ money” as a growing number of constituents griped over the massive kickbacks as the city’s infrastructure continues to age and crumble. Rallying with , , , , & to protest coming to & to say NO to corporate welfare for the richest man in the world. — Jimmy Van Bramer (@JimmyVanBramer) “I think if the takeaway from the recent election in Queens, New York City and nationally is that we should actually step up corporate subsidies and billionaires getting billion-dollar bailouts — if that’s the takeaway, somebody’s not got their fingers on the pulse of Democrats, certainly, but people generally in this country,” New York City council member Jimmy Van Bramer. New York’s Andrew Cuomo announced his plans Friday to form a coalition of ‘Blue State’ Governors and sue the federal government over the recently passed GOP tax legislation; saying the bill unfairly punishes east coast residents with drastically higher property taxes. Just three states -New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut- have signed onto Cuomo’s initiative, but the group hopes to expand to California, Illinois, and other left-leaning local governments as the Republican tax cuts take effect in the coming months. According to , the coalition blasted the legislation’s State and Local Tax Deduction, also known as SALT provision, which eliminates individual’s abilities to deduct state and local taxes from their federal filings; making people in high-tax states likely to pay more on their annual tax bill. “The elimination of full state and local deductibility is a blatantly partisan and unlawful attack on New York that uses our hardworking families and tax dollars as a piggy bank to pay for tax cuts for corporations and other states,” Cuomo said in a statement. “This coalition will take the federal government to court to protect our residents from this assault.” “Capping the State and Local Tax deduction had nothing to do with sound policy,” added New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy. “It is a clear and politically motivated punishment of blue states — like New Jersey and our neighbors —who already pay far more to the federal government than we receive.” Cuomo’s lawsuit is the latest instance of Democratic leaders struggling to stop the President’s tax overhaul. Earlier this month, California announced its intention to “seize” half the tax cut revenue of all corporations earning over $1 million. 'ISIS IS BACK': GOP Rep.

Energy industry insiders announced Friday that the United States is poised to become the world’ largest oil exporter; surpassing Saudi Arabia for the first time as early as next year. According to , the US currently produces approximately 8.3 million barrels of crude and refined oil per day compared with Saudi Arabia’s 9.3 million barrels. Expanding American business and energy operations throughout the country are expected to boost those figures within months. “Saudi Arabia has also trimmed its oil production more than 100 percent of the output cuts it agreed to under the January 2017 production deal. In March, Saudi crude production was at 9.91 million bpd, below the deal’s output target of 10.058 million bpd,” writes .

California Governor Jerry Brown slammed the Trump administration Wednesday afternoon following Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ address to law enforcement officials in Sacramento; saying the White House has declared “war” against his state. The Governor was speaking with reporters at the state Capitol when he viciously attacked Sessions’ remarks, claiming it was “unprecedented” that the federal government would “basically go to war” against California. “This is really unprecedented for the chief law enforcement officer of the United States to come out to California and act more like Fox News than a law enforcement officer. This is a political stunt,” said the liberal leader. “We know the Trump administration is full of liars. They’ve pled guilty already to the special counsel.” “This is basically going to war against the state of California, the engine of the American economy. It’s not wise, it’s not right, and it will not stand,” Brown added. “Look, we know the Trump administration is full of liars,” California Gov. Jerry Brown says in response to AG Sessions. “The release records are public, and there's nothing that stops any sheriff who runs the jails to working with ICE.” — CBS News (@CBSNews) The Governor’s harsh rhetoric was a stark rebuke to the Attorney General’s comments from earlier Wednesday, when the nation’s top law enforcement official re-affirmed that “federal law” is the “supreme law of the land.” “There is no nullification. There is no secession. Federal law is the supreme law of the land. I would invite any doubters to go to Gettysburg, to the tombstones of John C. Calhoun and Abraham Lincoln.

According to , the Berkeley City Council passed a resolution requiring the strict dietary guidelines be followed for all food served at city-run events at least once a week; a move animal rights activists hailed as “revolutionary.” “On Thursday, Berkeley became the first city in the nation to declare ‘Green Monday.’ This requires vegan-only food be served at city meetings and events once a week,” writes ABC. “I’m not asking people to give up meat, I’m asking us all to think about what it is that we do every day, how we can reduce our meat consumption,” said council member Kate Harrison. Going vegan? ? The is trying. The council recently passed a resolution requiring ONLY vegan food be provided once a week at city events/meetings.

The University of Wisconsin approved a controversial policy over the weekend, outlining the campus’s restrictions regarding protesting students and saying those who “disrupt campus speeches” will be disciplined and possibly expelled. According to the , the university’s leadership announced the new measures on Friday, saying they would suspend and expel students who commit multiple violations of the school’s free speech policies. The new rules state that students who “disrupt” free speech rallies or events will be suspended after their second offense, and expelled if caught protesting three times; urging faculty members and the student body to experience “all sides” of the political debate. “Perhaps the most important thing we can do as a university is to teach students how to engage and listen to those with whom they differ,” said President Ray Cross. “If we don’t show students how to do this, who will? Without civil discourse and a willingness to listen and engage with different voices, all we are doing is reinforcing our existing values.” The school’s decision comes after months of student protests at the University of California at Berkeley over conservative and right-wing speeches and rallies; with many protests turning violent. The demonstrations prompted calls from conservatives around the country to gain equal access to University speaking tours as their liberal counterparts. Liberals on the campus are calling the guidelines “restrictive,” saying the new policy will “suppress free speech.” “Who’s going to show up to a protest if they think they could be potentially expelled?” asked Democratic State Rep. Chris Taylor, whose district includes the school’s campus. Los Angeles is poised to become the largest American city to ban the production and sale of all fur-related products; a proposal backed by the region’s animal rights activists who claim the clothing is “rife with cruelty.” According to , the Los Angeles City Council plans to vote in the coming weeks on a measure that would ban the fur industry within the city limits. The proposal would bar the sale of clothing, handbags, shoes, hats, earmuffs, accessories, and key chains. “Neighboring West Hollywood along with Berkeley and San Francisco already have fur bans, although their ordinances differ in some specifics. West Hollywood’s law was changed to exempt fur from animals that are legally trapped under state law,” writes Yahoo News. Opponents of the measure slammed the City Council for diverting attention and resources away from the region’s escalating homeless crisis and rampant crime. “There’s a lot of fur sold in LA. It’s in over 500 designer collections, it’s on shoes, it’s on handbags,” said a spokesperson for the Fur Information Council of America. “So yes, it will have an impact on jobs, it will have an impact on tax revenues.” Read the full story .

From the Financial Times: For Americans, midterm elections are a chore that lacks the pizzazz of a presidential race. Polls show most of them disapprove of Congress, so why even bother? Plus the US makes voting hard. During the last midterms, in 2014, some voting precincts felt like ghost towns, with apathetic but dutiful citizens slowly dribbling in over the day. Participation sunk to a 72-year low of just 36 percent of the eligible population. When a charmer isn’t on the ballot, Democratic enthusiasm wanes. There’s an adage: Republicans fall in line; Democrats fall in love. Democratic voters are particularly lackadaisical about midterm elections compared with Republicans, who routinely vote in them at higher rates. Democratic party leaders shake with frustration about the gap. Why won’t their voters go to the polls? The answer, of course, is not simple. 4:30 PM ET – Lt.

And of course, the latest in liberal lunacy, President Trump is partly to blame for Hurricane Florence: CNN’s “New Day” on Thursday explored the possibility that President Trump is “complicit” for Hurricane Florence as the historic storm bears down on the Carolina coast, with co-anchor John Avlon arguing his environmental policies “have been tearing down our defenses to climate change.” “Is President Trump complicit in this storm?” asked co-anchor Alisyn Camerota in introducing the segment while citing a Wednesday Washington Post editorial pointing the finger at the president for being complicit for “extreme weather” due to Environmental Protection Agency policies and downplaying climate change.

In an published Monday, the left-leaning newspaper shed groundbreaking new light on Trump’s preference for cherry and strawberry flavored Starburst candies; the chewy, square-shaped sweets. “President Trump and House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) were alone in the presidential suite on Air Force One, flying east toward Washington in early October, when the president reached for a handful of Starbursts, the fruit-flavored, box-shaped chewy candies,” writes the . “But instead of unwrapping all the treats, the president was careful to pluck out and eat two flavors: cherry and strawberry,” the author adds. “A bit later, a couple of his aides saw me with those colors and told me, ‘Those are the president’s favorites,’” McCarthy told the paper.

Seattle, Washington became the first major city in the United States to issue an all-out ban on plastic straws, forks, and knives over the weekend; barring restaurants and shops from using the utensils to help protect the local environment. “Starting July 1, restaurants in the Emerald City are now barred from providing customers plastic straws, cocktail picks or utensils unless someone specifically requests one. Then, a customer should be given a compostable option,” writes . The ban impacts over 5,000 restaurants and food providers in the region. “Plastic pollution is surpassing crisis levels in the world’s oceans, and I’m proud Seattle is leading the way and setting an example for the nation by enacting a plastic straw ban,” Mami Hara, the general manager of Seattle Public Utilities. According to recent published by the National Park Service, Americans use an estimated 500 million straws per day. Santa Barbara, California has become the first city in the United States to impose a possible jail sentence for those defying the municipality’s plastic straw ban; giving the green light to fine and imprison repeated offenders. “According to the ordinance, violators on their first offense will be given a written warning notice. But the second time a purveyor of plastic straws defies the ban is when the heavy hand of the law could clamp down,” writes . The new code could place a $1,000 fine on first offenders and up to six months in prison for those who refuse to comply with the ordinance. In contrast, Seattle -the first American city to implement such a policy- only fines businesses $250 per offense. The strict policy comes as Starbucks -one of the nation’s largest coffee chains- unveiled its plan to phase-out the plastic straws from all of its locations over the next two years citing environmental concerns.

Sign-Up to the Newsletter. Live Now Live Now A prominent Iranian general accused the Israeli government of intentionally manipulating the weather over Tehran this week; accusing the Jewish State of “cloud and snow theft” to help escalate Iran’s widening water crisis. “Brigadier General Gholam Reza Jalali made the remarks while speaking at a conference on agriculture in Tehran, where he claimed Iranian scientific centers have confirmed a foreign role in the drought conditions across the country,” writes . “Foreign interference is suspected to have played a role in climate change,” Jalali said, according to the  . “Joint teams from Israel and one of the neighboring countries make the clouds entering into Iran barren. Moreover, we are faced with the cases of cloud theft and snow theft.” Iran has been struggling to cope with an escalating water crisis in recent weeks, with thousands of residents taking to the streets of Tehran to protest the regime’s inability to handle a series of crippling issues following increased US pressure.

Israeli officials publicly blamed Iran for the recent mortar attack on southern Israel Wednesday, saying Tehran was the “culprit” behind the barrage that included 180 Iranian-manufactured shells. According to the , IDF Spokesperson Ronen Manelis confirmed the mortar shells were produced inside the Islamic Republic and smuggled into the region by Hamas and Islamic Jihad. “Despite Israel’s intelligence superiority over terror groups, as well a   and Egypt, Hamas and other terror groups in the Strip have restocked their supply of weapons in the four years since the last round of fighting between Israel and Hamas,” writes the . “The mass-produced Iranian mortar shells used in Tuesday’s salvos were also used by Islamic Jihad in an attack in January and in a barrage 12 mortar shells fired toward an army outpost in November,” adds the author. The revelation raises new questions over Iran’s influence in the region as the United States urges western allies and other nations to help clampdown on Tehran’s nuclear program. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed “dramatic” evidence Monday that the Iranian regime has been “lying” about its advanced nuclear weapons program; claiming the Islamic Republic was “hiding material” following the Obama-era agreement. Netanyahu confirmed the revelation in a fiery press conference, adding that his government has received stunning new information in the previous “10 days” that the Iranian regime had relocated “half a ton” of covert files to a “secret location.” “These files conclusively prove that Iran is brazenly lying when it says it never had a nuclear weapons program,” he said. According to , Netanyahu briefed both President Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo over the weekend. The new report raises serious questions over the future of the Iranian nuclear agreement, with President Trump expected to make his final decision over the international pact in the coming weeks.

Sign-Up to the Newsletter. Live Now Live Now Former Big Apple Mayor and gun-control activist Michael Bloomberg announced Wednesday his plan to donate at least $80 million to help the Democratic Party retake control of Congress this fall. According to the , the left-leaning philanthropist and business mogul slammed Republican leadership in a written statement; claiming they’ve failed on “guns and climate change.” “I’ve never thought that the public is well-served when one party is entirely out of power, and I think the past year and half has been evidence of that,” said the former mayor. “[Republicans] have done little to reach across the aisle to craft bipartisan solutions ​-​ not only on guns and climate change, but also on jobs, immigration, health care, and infrastructure,” he added. “Bloomberg’s expected to bankroll ads on television, online and through the mail for Democrats in more than a dozen congressional races, especially in suburban areas where President Trump’s support is softest,” writes the Post. Democratic candidates need to flip at least 23 seats this November to take control of the House of Representatives. Read the full report at the . The Democrats’ double-digit lead continued to crash and burn this week, with new polls showing the GOP has either erased the liberal advantage or is actually beating their left-wing opponents on generic ballots. The lead -once as high as 18 points- is all but gone on ballots asking voters if they preferred Democrats or Republicans; raising serious questions about the overly-hyped “blue wave” expected to sweep Congress this fall. Late last year, Liberal Congressman Ted Lieu warned of a Democrat “megatsunami” heading into the midterm. I learned a new word today: Megatsunami. As in, the 18 point lead Dems have in the generic ballot point to a Democratic next November. — Ted Lieu (@tedlieu) Those predictions may turn out to be little more than wishful thinking, with a new Reuters poll showing Republicans enjoying a 2% edge over their Democratic opponents. Say good-bye to the D-advantage in the generic ballot. Our latest Reuters/Ipsos poll shows that registered voters as likely to support Republicans as Democrats. — Chris Kahn (@Cmkahn) The Republican National Committee revealed Wednesday that it raised more money heading into 2018 than any other midterm election in history; smashing expectations and raising serious questions about the predicted “blue wave” this fall. “The RNC is investing in over 70 races across the country,” said RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel. “We’re already on the ground in 27 states. In California two weeks ago, there were seven races where Hillary Clinton won those districts. In six of those districts, more Republicans turned out than Democrats. That is very good for us in those primaries.” “We have raised more money than any political party in history going into a midterm,” she added. McDaniel’s comments come as the Democratic National Committee struggles to raise money ahead of the 2018 election, when the DNC hopes to sway enough centrist and moderate voters to retake control of Congress this fall. h/t 'ISIS IS BACK': GOP Rep.

The 40-year-old European leader’s trip will be the first official state visit of President Trump’s presidency; with the two heads-of-state prepared to hold high-level meetings regarding trade, the Iranian nuclear agreement, the Middle East, and more. “Both of us are probably mavericks,” Macron Fox News. “We have a very special relationship… I think the U.S. today has a very strong role to play for peace in different regions of the world, and especially the Mideast. “He has been one of the few Europeans who has pulled off the trick of building a close and strong working relationship with President Trump,” added one global security analyst. One key area of discussion will likely center on the President’s recently announced trade tariffs on steel and aluminum; offering exemptions for only Mexico and Canada. “I hope he will not implement these new tariffs and he will decide for an exemption for the European Union,” Macron . “You cannot make a trade war with your ally.” Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is openly blaming the United States for his country’s illegal immigration problem; saying his negotiations to create an “invisible” border wall between the two nations have “fallen apart.” Trudeau’s dramatic U-turn comes nearly 15 months after the liberal politician “invited” asylum seekers into Canada.

A man in his mid-twenties was brutally stabbed to death in North London Wednesday night, bringing the British capital’s murder rate to over 50 people since the beginning of 2018 and raising serious security questions throughout the United Kingdom. According to the , the unidentified man was found “fatally wounded” by the Metropolitan Police Department in London’s Hackney neighborhood shortly after 8pm. “In the same borough just hours earlier a man in his 50s died outside a bookmakers in Upper Clapton Road following a suspected fight,” writes the Telegraph. “The attack has added to the  , with fatal stabbings in England and Wales at their highest levels since 2010/11.” The stabbing death comes just days after two teenagers were killed in similar attacks in the country’s largest city. The shocking tally means the murder rate in London has risen by 40% in just three years; the stark opposite to New York City’s crime statistics which have fallen by nearly 90% since Mayor Rudolph Giuliani’s harsh crackdown in the 1990s. The crime wave sweeping the capital of the United Kingdom continued Thursday night, with a shocking six teenagers stabbed throughout the city in just 90 minutes; raising serious questions about security and safety in Britain’s largest metropolis. According to the , a 13-year old boy was the youngest victim of a stabbing spree that took place in at least four different attacks. “Six teenagers have been stabbed within 90 minutes in another night of violence on  ’s streets,” writes the Telegraph. “A 13-year-old boy was among the victims of four separate knife attacks, which took place as protesters gathered elsewhere in the capital to demand action to prevent young people dying.” Earlier this week, a local politician in the capital called the spat of violence the “worst I’ve ever seen.” The stabbings come just days after two teenagers were killed in similar attacks in the country’s largest city.

Sign-Up to the Newsletter. Live Now Live Now The city of Los Angeles plans to fight climate change and global warming by painting streets and sidewalks white, hoping the “cooler” color will help offset the effects of urban “heat islands”. According to , the LA Street Services agency unveiled the project last May, with initial tests showing the color-change could reduce temperatures by nearly 10 degrees. The technique uses a product called ‘CoolSeal’ to apply a thin, gray coat to roads and other surfaces. “CoolSeal is applied like conventional sealcoats to asphalt surfaces to protect and maintain the quality and longevity of the surface,” writes the company’s website. “While most cool pavements on the market are polymer based, CoolSeal is a water-based, asphalt emulsion.” “Heat islands occur on the surface and in the atmosphere,” according to the EPA. “On a hot, sunny summer day, the sun can heat dry, exposed urban surfaces, such as roofs and pavement, to temperatures 50–90°F hotter than the air.” The climate fight comes with a steep price tag, with the product and labor costs expected to reach upwards of $40,000 per mile. The full-fledged chaos engulfing the state of California continued this week, with the Los Angeles City Council considering a motion that would provide free housing to the city’s estimated 60,000 person homeless population. According to , the motion was introduced last month and will be brought before the council Friday; declaring the city’s ballooning transient problem a public health emergency. The declaration would release additional funds to construct new homes and shelters for those on the city streets. “The city has explored multiple options for dealing with its growing homeless population,” writes CBS. “In February, the council unanimously approved   on a downtown lot.” The portable shelters contain bathrooms, kitchens, at least one bedroom, and are expected to cost approximately $2 million. The vote comes as nearby countries and cities reject the state’s “unconstitutional” ‘Sanctuary’ policies, with one town officially voting down the measure as homelessness and crime rates soar throughout the region. Local residents in southern California are fighting back against a two-mile long stretch of makeshift homeless shelters in Orange County; demanding officials crackdown on “human waste” and “used needles” that riddle the encampment, reports . In stark contrast from local governments in Los Angeles and San Francisco, the Orange County authorities are beginning to clamp down on the tent city, describing the “illegal” housing as a major public health concern. “It’s becoming part of the permanent landscape in those communities and there is no way we are going to allow Orange County land that is supposed to be used by residents to be occupied by the homeless,” said a member of the Orange County Board of Supervisors. In response to public pressure, the county council cleared nearly 25 tons of trash, over 1,000 pounds of “human waste” and over 5,000 needles from the camp. The ACLU and other human rights activists have denounced the move, filing a civil rights lawsuit to stop the county’s crackdown after the decision was officially approved by the council. ‘That isn’t going to happen in our county. It’s not going to be our skid row,” added the Orange County supervisor. 'ISIS IS BACK': GOP Rep.

Sign-Up to the Newsletter. Live Now Live Now Hollywood celebrity and liberal activist Jennifer Lawrence had some harsh words for tinsel town during a recent interview, saying actors should avoid political posturing and blasting Hillary Clinton’s anti-Trump campaign rhetoric “disgusting.” Lawrence was speaking with Vanity Fair when she threw cold water on fellow celebrity activists, saying Democrats made a “huge mistake” in attacking President Trump’s supporters ahead of the 2016 general election. “The Democrats made a huge mistake by chastising the Trump supporters, and that was disgusting to me,” said the A-list actress. “Of course they’re not going to vote for Hillary Clinton; they’re going to vote for Donald Trump. You laughed at them when their plight is very real.” “I’ve always thought that it was a good idea to stay out of politics,” she added. “Twenty-five percent of America identifies as liberal and I need more than 25 percent of America to go see my movies. It’s not wise, career-speaking, to talk about politics.” Lawrence made headlines late last year when she bizarrely suggested Texas “deserved” multiple hurricanes in response to GOP voters largely ignoring “climate change.” Sanity and reason returned to CNN for a brief moment Monday morning when an anchor at the cable news network called-out the liberal hypocrisy regarding the recently released FISA memo; asking a left-wing legislator if releasing a “Democratic rebuttal” would be “extremely reckless as well.” CNN host Alisyn Camerota was speaking with Democratic Rep. Pete Aguilar earlier Monday; pressing the California congressman to comment on the House Intelligence Committee’s decision to release the controversial FISA memo last week. “Let’s put all of these memos out there and let the American public decide and weigh-in,” said Aguilar. “It’s been ridiculous. This is a failed partisan attempt to discredit the FBI because the FBI is investigating the President and his associates.” “How can their release be extremely reckless, but you want the Democratic rebuttal released?” asked Camerota. “Isn’t that the same thing? Wouldn’t that be extremely reckless as well?” Watch the brief moment of sanity below: h/t Members of the destroy-Trump media were desperately attempting to spin the President’s first State of the Union address Tuesday night, but were forced to report on polls that show the vast majority of American’s highly approved of Trump’s primetime speech. According to , a whopping 75% of Americans liked what they heard from their Commander-in-Chief, with 25% disapproving. The figures broke down largely along party lines, with nine in ten GOP viewers saying the address made them “proud” and nearly half of Democrats saying it made them feel “angry.” “Eight in 10 Americans who watched tonight felt that the president was trying to unite the country, rather than divide it.  Two-thirds said the speech made them feel proud, though just a third said it made them feel safer.  Fewer said the speech made them feel angry or scared,” admits  . The positive feedback gives the President more political capital as the government sets its sights on tackling immigration reform, a hot-button issue last addressed in the 1970s. Trump outlined his vision for overhauling the nation’s outdated immigration system Tuesday night, saying he was prepared to provide a “pathway to citizenship” for nearly 2 million ‘Dreamers’ in exchange for billions in border wall funding.

Global-warming activists and other liberals were quick to accuse the studio of “sabotaging” the documentary, saying Paramount Pictures decided to abandon a large-scale release of the movie in late June. One article, titled “ ,” blames the flop on “right wingers” who were opposed to the film’s environmental message. “Sadly, the box-office underperformance of An Inconvenient Sequel will be seized upon by climate-change deniers as ‘proof’ that Americans don’t really care about this issue.

Sign-Up to the Newsletter. Live Now Live Now Didn’t they learn anything from the gas stove ban? According to a  Fox News report, the Biden Administration is readying washing machine regulations that will make the cost of doing laundry more expensive and your machine less effective. According to manufacturers like Whirlpool, wash cycles will “take longer, the detergent will cost more, and in the end, the clothes will be less clean.” The Biden Admin. claims the regulations will help “confront the global climate crisis.” From : The proposed washing machine change is the latest example of consumer regulations to advance green initiatives. In February, the administration received heat for a leaked proposal which would have banned half of America’s gas stoves in addition to another proposal to heavily regulate refrigerators. … The argued that the Energy Department’s washing machine regulations “would have a disproportionate, negative impact on low-income households” by eliminating cheaper appliances from the market. The Energy Department estimates that manufacturers will incur nearly $700 million in conversion costs to transition to the new machines. “Like many efficiency standards, the government claims that although these standards will raise the cost of appliances, they are justified because they will reduce even more. Of course, if that were true, consumers would likely buy more efficient appliances anyway, given that studies show consumers consider energy and water costs,” American Enterprise Institute Senior Fellow James Coleman told Fox News Digital. “If consumers do fully consider what they will pay on energy in their individual circumstances, then the standards would, on-net, harm consumers.” “This proposal builds on the more than 110 actions took in 2022 to strengthen energy efficiency standards and save the average family at least $100 annually through lower energy bills,” the Department of Energy said in a press release. “Collectively these energy efficiency actions will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by more than 2.4 billion metric tons, save consumers $570 billion cumulatively over 30 years, and support President Biden’s ambitious clean energy agenda to combat the climate crisis.” Biden washing machine rule would make Americans dirtier and stinkier — and raise prices: manufacturers — Fox News Politics (@foxnewspolitics) 'ISIS IS BACK': GOP Rep.

CatholicVote Launches $3 Million Dollar Ad Buy to Kick Catholic Dems Out of Office Be the first to know All Things Sean Hannity. Sign-Up to the Newsletter. Live Now Live Now According to a report from Fox News, conservative non-profit CatholicVote is targeting Catholic Democrats in the 2022 midterms with a $3 million dollar ad buy. One ad attacks Iowa Rep. Cindy Axne for doing “nothing” while churches are “firebombed” and “radical liberals are acting like terrorists.”   Highlighting silence from Catholic politicians on suspected arson attacks against churches, as in the Axne ad, is only one aspect of the campaign from CatholicVote, president Brian Burch told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview. “That’s one area we hope to highlight, is that their silence in the face of rampant violence nationwide signals something deeper, and far more worrisome, about the place of Catholic candidates inside the Democratic Party,” Burch said. But the overarching goal of the CatholicVote midterm campaign, which will see the campaign will see between $2.5 and $3 million in ad spending and target 10 -15 House races and several key senate races in the midterm election, is to help establish faithful Catholic politicians in government, and Burch sees a political shift happening that could put an end to the Catholic Democrat — typified by politicians who profess the faith, but hold vastly different views on moral issues than the church. President Joe Biden, whose have shifted dramatically to align with the platform of his party, is only the second Catholic to be elected to the presidency.

Hawley reminded Granholm what Biden has done to affect gas prices and hurt the supply chain. “Here’s what your president did when he first came to office: he re-entered the Paris Climate Accord; he canceled the Keystone pipeline; he halted leasing programs in ANWR; he issued a 60-day halt on all new oil and gas leases and drilling permits on federal lands and waters —that accounts for 25% of U.S. oil production; he directed federal agencies to eliminate all supports for fossil fuels; he imposed new regulations on oil and gas and methane emissions —and that was just in the first few days.

But since then Biden’s online fundraising has tumbled — looking more like flash-in-the-pan opponent Beto O’Rourke than top-tier rivals like Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren,” reports . “More than 60 percent of the $13.2 million Biden has raised online came in the first week of his campaign, which launched in late April, according to a POLITICO analysis of data from the Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue. While other top candidates spiked early and then gradually raised more money online as the 2020 campaign has carried on, Biden’s pattern is similar to O’Rourke, who roared into the race with millions raised in his first day but has trickled off since then,” adds the . Democratic frontrunner Joe Biden pushed-back against allegations he misstated multiple facts regarding his visit to Afghanistan this week; saying the details of the trip “are irrelevant.” “That has nothing to do with judgment of whether or not you send troops to war, the judgment of whether you bring someone home, the judgment of whether you decide on a healthcare policy,” Biden told following a series of speaking gaffes on the campaign trail in recent weeks. “The details are irrelevant in terms of decision-making,” he added. “I campaigned like the devil for Hillary, but Hillary had different positions than the president had, and she emphasized different aspects of what would have occurred had I been the nominee,” said Biden. “That doesn’t mean I would’ve won. I don’t mean that.” The controversy began at a campaign stop in Hanover, New Hampshire, where the democratic presidential hopeful captivated an audience of more than 400 attendees; sharing with them a personal story about his trip to the Kundera province in Afghanistan in 2008. The only problem? The story wasn’t true. “The Navy captain, Biden recalled Friday night, had rappelled down a 60-foot ravine under fire and retrieved the body of an American comrade, carrying him on his back. Now the general wanted Biden to pin a Silver Star on the American hero who, despite his bravery, felt like a failure,” according to . “He said, ‘Sir, I don’t want the damn thing!” Biden said, his jaw clenched and his voice rising to a shout. ‘Do not pin it on me, Sir!

Fossil fuel executives should be criminally prosecuted for the destruction they have knowingly caused. — Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) Sanders unveiled his plan to combat climate change Thursday; allocating more than $16 trillion to help the US become 100% reliant on renewable energy by 2050. “While the Vermont senator had already endorsed the sweeping Democratic proposal to combat climate change and had   of New York on climate legislation, Sanders’ climate plan provides the most detail yet on how he envisions the climate change moonshot taking shape if he is elected president,” reports . Sanders claims the proposal will “pay for itself” over a 15 year period; requiring more than 20 million new jobs. “Climate change is a global emergency. The Amazon rainforest is burning, Greenland’s ice shelf is melting, and the Arctic is on fire. People across the country and the world are already experiencing the deadly consequences of our climate crisis, as extreme weather events like heat waves, wildfires, droughts, floods, and hurricanes upend entire communities, ecosystems, economies, and ways of life, as well as endanger millions of lives. Communities of color,  working class people, and the global poor have borne and will bear this burden disproportionately,” writes . The proposal aims to: Create a climate justice resiliency fund, decarbonize the shipping industry, replace all shipping trucks, end greed in our energy system, and expand the climate justice movement. “The scope of the challenge ahead of us shares similarities with the crisis faced by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in the 1940s. Battling a world war on two fronts—both in the East and the West—the United States came together, and within three short years restructured the entire economy in order to win the war and defeat fascism. As president, Bernie Sanders will boldly embrace the moral imperative of addressing the climate crisis and act immediately to mobilize millions of people across the country in support of the Green New Deal. From the Oval Office to the streets, Bernie will generate the political will necessary for a wholesale transformation of our society, with support for frontline and vulnerable communities and massive investments in sustainable energy, energy efficiency, and a transformation of our transportation system,” adds the .

So, They’re Marxist-Leninists, They’re Anarchists, They’re These Types of Folks, and um, and They Have More of a Mind for Direct Action, for Engaging in Politics Outside of the Electoral System,” said one field organizer. “A Lot of the Stories We’re Told in the United States About, You Know, the Gulags and the Persecution of the Kulaks and Things Like That are Exaggerated…We Certainly Don’t Have, uh, a Straight Perspective on That Stuff Here in America,” he added. “In a new video released today by Project Veritas Action Fund (PVA), two South Carolina Field Organizers for the Sanders Campaign, Mason Baird and Daniel Taylor, are secretly recorded admitting that the Sanders campaign attracts ‘truly radical people.’ They are also recorded brushing off the human rights atrocities committed by the Soviet Union and planning violence as a back-up plan depending on the outcome of Sanders’ election effort,” writes Project Veritas.

If he’s held back in any way, that’s almost the antithesis of who he is.” “I think it’s the wrong approach,” they added. “Joe Biden has spoken his mind his entire life, which voters know and love about him,” said Biden’s deputy campaign manager. “He’s a real person, he’s authentic, and that will never change.

Live Now Live Now Beto O’Rourke added to the list of rights -like Freedom of Speech and Religion- enjoyed by all Americans this week; saying workers have “the right” to live close to their employment. “Here’s a tough thing to talk about though we must. Rich people are going to have to allow — or be forced to allow — lower income people to live near them. Which is what we fail to do in this country right now. We force lower income working Americans to drive 1, 2, 3 hours in either direction to get to their jobs. Very often minimum wage jobs that they’re working 2 or 3 of them right now. What if, as we propose to do, we invested in housing that was closer to where you work. Very often mixed income housing meaning the very wealthiest are living next to those who are not the very wealthiest in this country,” said O’Rourke on the campaign trail. Living close to work shouldn't be a luxury for the rich. It's a right for everyone. — Beto O'Rourke (@BetoORourke) Beto’s comments come days after he claimed west Texas will soon become “uninhabitable” for human beings. “My son Henry, who’s 8-years-old, he asked me, ‘Dad, if you win and you become President, we get to live in El Paso, right?’ I said no, we’d live in Washington, DC. But he knew that our community will become uninhabitable, will not sustain human life along this current trajectory unless something changes,” O’Rourke told the audience. Beto O'Rourke says his 8 year old son told him that they cannot live in El Paso in the near future because it ""would not sustain human life unless something dramatic changes"" with climate change. Yeah, okay. — The Rebel (@RebelNewsOnline) Sen. Bernie Sanders made similar dire predictions at the event; claiming population growth was a key aspect in fighting global warming. “Empowering women to curb population growth seems reasonable to enact. Would you be courageous enough to discuss this issue and make it a key feature of a plan to address climate catastrophe?” asked an audience member. “The answer is yes. Women have a right to control their own bodies and make reproductive decisions… In poor countries around the world, where women do not want to have large numbers of babies, where they can have the opportunity to use birth control to control the number of kids they have, is something I very strongly support,” said Sanders. Former Texas Representative and failing 2020 presidential hopeful Beto O’Rourke spoke with supporters in Mexico over the weekend; meeting with rejected asylum-seekers hoping to enter the United States. “According to a pool report put out by the O’Rourke campaign, the candidate spoke to a group of asylum seekers in Spanish for about 15 minutes at a restaurant in Ciudad Juarez, across the Rio Grande from O’Rourke’s hometown of El Paso. The candidate then traveled to a shelter for migrants run by the Catholic Church, where he met around a table with migrants from El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala who told of being denied entry into the U.S. and returned to the Mexican border city while their asylum claims were being processed,” reports . “Sunday’s visit represented a bid by O’Rourke to re-establish his credentials on the immigration issue after clashing with fellow Texan Julian Castro during Wednesday’s first presidential primary debate in Miami. Castro, a former Housing and Urban Development secretary and mayor of San Antonio, chided the ex-congressman for not being willing to fully decriminalize illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border,” adds . Left-wing presidential candidate Julian Castro apparently forgot the previous two-nights of Democratic debates; telling MSNBC that “nobody has called for open borders” and labeling the issue a “right-wing talking point.” “Nobody has called for open borders.

Let me tell you why. I spent a big chunk of my life studying why families go broke. One of the number one reasons is the cost of healthcare… That leaves families with rising premiums and rising co-pays,” said Warren. “Medicare for All solves that problem. I understand there are a lot of politicians who say it’s not possible… What they’re really telling you is they just don’t want to fight for it. Healthcare is a basic human right,” she added.

According to Fox News, teachers at the Newton North High School were ordered by district officials to help educate their students on “different perspectives” on issues as diverse as gun control, immigration, and free speech. Stunning emails between the staff show they flat-out refused to do so. “Personally, I’m finding it really difficult in the current climate to teach kids to appreciate other perspectives. … [T]he ‘other viewpoint’ might not really be an argument ‘about which reasonable people can disagree’ and might not lead to any kind of intellectual, policy debate; it might just be blatantly racist,” wrote one educator. “I am concerned that the call for ‘objectivity’ may just inadvertently become the most effective destructive weapon against social justice,” added another.

Sign-Up to the Newsletter. Live Now Live Now Climate scientists and environmental activists are backtracking from recent doomsday scenarios predicting the planet’s untimely death by overheating; reversing course and now claiming that an “unusually cold Sun” could bring another ice age to the Northern Hemisphere. A recent study by the University of California San Diego claims the sun will experience a prolonged period of “cooling,” drastically reducing the amount of solar radiation and activity reaching the Earth’s surface. The lower temperatures, commonly known as a ‘solar minimum,’ could spark a deep freeze across large sections of the planet; plunging the Earth into yet another ice age. “The cooldown would be the result of what scientists call a grand minimum, a periodic event during which the Sun’s magnetism diminishes, sunspots form infrequently, and less ultraviolet radiation makes it to the surface of the planet,” writes the UC San Diego website. “The reduced energy from the Sun sets into motion a sequence of events on Earth beginning with a thinning of the stratospheric ozone layer,” the author adds. “That thinning in turn changes the temperature structure of the stratosphere, which then changes the dynamics of the lower atmosphere, especially wind and weather patterns.” Former Vice President Al Gore believes global warming is the main culprit behind the deep freeze taking hold across large sections of the United States, saying the frigid temperatures are “exactly what we should expect” from climate change.

Sign-Up to the Newsletter. Live Now Live Now April, 2013. The fifth year of the Obama Administration. And on the nationally syndicated Tom Joyner radio show – Joyner an Obama-supporting liberal – the Attorney General of the United States is discussing his plans for the future. Having served through the Obama first term, the question posed is whether Holder is planning to depart the government at the beginning of the second term. Politico headlined the story this way: The story began: “Attorney General Eric Holder brushed off a question Thursday about when he might leave the administration. Instead, the top lawman professed his allegiance to President Barack Obama. ‘I’m still enjoying what I’m doing, there’s still work to be done. I’m still the President’s wing-man, so I’m there with my boy. So we’ll see,’ Holder said in an interview on the Tom Joyner radio show.” Holder would, in fact, leave two years later, to be replaced by fellow liberal Loretta Lynch. Recall now when President Trump scolded Attorney General Jeff Sessions for the latter’s recusal from the Russia collusion business. Here is Sally Yates, the Obama Deputy Attorney General who was briefly Trump’s Acting Attorney General pending Session’s confirmation. Trump would fire Yates for insubordination over the issue of the so-called “travel ban.” When Trump’s attack on Sessions was in the news, The Huffington Post reported the following of Yates: “Former acting Attorney General Sally Yates said that Trump’s attack on Sessions’ recusal on Russia ‘reveals yet again his violation of the essential independence of DOJ, a bedrock principle of our democracy.’” Catch the game? There is Yates’s one-time Obama-appointed boss, Eric Holder, saying quite publicly that he is Obama’s “wingman” at the Department of Justice. Yet there wasn’t a peep at the time from Yates that Holder’s statement ‘reveals yet again his violation of the essential independence of DOJ, a bedrock principle of our democracy.’” Then there’s this story that emerged in the wake of the release of the House Intelligence Committee “Nunes Memo.” Congressman Devin Nunes, the Committee chairman, appeared on Fox with host Brett Baier. This following this tweet from former Obama Secretary of State John Kerry. Said Kerry: “The Nunes memo is dangerous, ugly, and an assault on the integrity of the institutions of our country,” he tweeted. “I lived through Watergate/Nixon: America pays a very steep price when a political party tries to undermine the institutions that hold us together …” And what did Nunes have to say to Baier? This: “We are in the middle of what I call phase two of our investigation, which involves other departments, specifically the State Department and some of the involvement that they had in this. That investigation is ongoing and we continue work towards finding answers and asking the right questions to try to get to the bottom of what exactly the State Department was up to in terms of this Russia investigation.” Notice the pattern? On the one hand, Yates and Kerry are trying to tell the American people that the institutions in which they worked – the Justice and State Departments respectively – are all about the non-partisan, unbiased execution of the law. Strictly non-political. But in fact? In fact what we have is no less than Attorney General Holder himself personally contradicting Yates and confirming that his job is, yes indeed, not to be professional and non-partisan but rather to be the President’s decidedly political (and Left-wing) “wingman” in the running of the Department of Justice. And there is the former Secretary of State talking indignantly about “when a political party tries to undermine the institutions that hold us together…” – meaning in his case the State Department – while we learn from Chairman Nunes that in fact there is a congressional investigation into just “what exactly the State Department was up to in terms of this Russia investigation.” And before Kerry was Secretary of State? When was Hillary Clinton running the Department? Here is this jewel about the conduct of then-Under Secretary of State Patrick Kennedy, a career diplomat no less. Kennedy joined the Foreign Service in 1973 and worked his way through the ranks of career diplomats before leaving office in January 2017. The subject: Benghazi and Clinton’s role in that episode which cost the lives of four Americans. Reported the Washington Examiner’s Susan Ferrechio: “Newly released FBI documents depict Kennedy seeking to reverse the classification of one of Clinton’s emails related to the terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi. Kennedy promised to “archive the document in the basement of [the State Department] never to be seen again.” Meanwhile over in yet another part of the federal government, the Environmental Protection Agency, the pattern appears yet again. Climate Depot, an environmentalist website sponsored by a group called the Committee For A Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT), headlined this: Trump had been in office a mere eleven days when the Washington Post was headlining: The article begins this way: “The signs of popular dissent from President Trump’s opening volley of actions have been plain to see on the nation’s streets, at airports in the aftermath of his refu­gee and visa ban, and in the blizzard of outrage on social media. But there’s another level of resistance to the new president that is less visible and potentially more troublesome to the administration: a growing wave of opposition from the federal workers charged with implementing any new president’s agenda. Less than two weeks into Trump’s administration, federal workers are in regular consultation with recently departed Obama-era political appointees about what they can do to push back against the new president’s initiatives. Some federal employees have set up social media accounts to anonymously leak word of changes that Trump appointees are trying to make. …The signs of resistance in federal offices range from low-level grumbling and angry opposition posted online to anonymous promises of outright insubordination as new policies develop.” One could go on. And on and on. In that same Post article former GOP House Speaker Newt Gingrich summed up the problem: “Former House speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.), a Trump adviser and longtime critic of the bureaucracy, said the pushback against the new administration reveals how firmly entrenched liberals are and how threatened they feel by the new regime. He cited an newspaper that showed that 95 percent of campaign donations from employees at 14 federal agencies went to Hillary Clinton last fall. ‘This is essentially the opposition in waiting,’ Gingrich said. ‘He may have to clean out the Justice Department because there are so many left-wingers there. State is even worse.’ Gingrich said Trump might push for civil service revisions to make it easier to fire federal workers. He predicted that the public would back the president over federal employees.” What does all of this have to do with the Nunes Intelligence Committee memo? Everything. The hard, very blunt fact of the matter is that Eric Holder’s self-description of his role as Attorney General of the United States as the “wingman” for a Leftwing president is, in fact, the mindset of a great many of those who work and run the entire federal bureaucracy. They are in fact the “Deep State.” They see themselves as the opposition to any conservative or Republican president. And they will do whatever it takes to thwart if not covertly sabotage the duly elected president. Which in turn makes the entire Nunes investigation into the FBI and the Justice Department totally relevant to a serious problem with the operation of the entire federal government. The now-famous texts between FBI counterintelligence expert Peter Strzok and his mistress, FBI lawyer Lisa Page said, among other things of candidate and then-President Trump, that Trump was an “idiot”, a “d*uche” and, oh yes, “God(,) Trump is a loathsome human.” There was more – oh so much more. But rest assured, they were not alone in these sentiments. The real problem here isn’t simply the manipulation of the FBI and the Justice Department to thwart or unseat a duly elected President of the United States in the fashion of a banana republic-style insider/silent coup. And make no mistake, that is one huge problem. No, the real problem here is that hundreds if not thousands of employees of the federal bureaucracy of the United States government see themselves – in whatever department or agency they may serve – as some version of Eric Holder’s self-description of his role as the Obama Attorney General. These federal bureaucrats see themselves as the wingman of the American Left. Their role in government is not to be unbiased or straight-shooting career professionals. Far from it. They see their role as ensuring that Leftist dogma on whatever progressive agenda item is relevant to their job is strictly followed. And as with the FBI’s Peter Strzok there is no limit to which they will not go to achieve that end. They are the Deep state personified. All of which says there must be one serious addition to the Trump agenda. Which Newt Gingrich has summed up well. As the Post noted, “Trump might push for civil service revisions to make it easier to fire federal workers.” The dangerous “Deep State” FBI-Department of Justice conduct and what Nunes is saying about the State Department makes it clear. American government at the federal level has a very, very serious problem. Now is the time to start fixing it. To overhaul the Deep State completely to ensure as best as can be done that this never happens again. President Trump is exactly the president who could do it. They have lost their monopoly and their mandate. And they are not happy. “They” would be what can most accurately be called the “Liberal State Media.” The place where once Ronald Reagan was the “amiable dunce” in the White House is now the go-to for all stories anti-Trump or, even better, Never Trump. The difference between the Reagan era and today’s Trump era is, of course, in the media – among other places. In the 1980’s there was no Fox News and no talk radio. As a veteran of the Reagan White House I can say that battles like the furious assault on Reagan Supreme Court nominee Judge Robert Bork or over Reagan’s showdown with the “Evil Empire” that was the Soviet Union would surely have played out differently if, say, Sean Hannity was on radio for three hours a day followed by an hour of primetime television. Bork could well have been confirmed and the constant deluge of criticism at Reagan’s opposition to the Soviets would have at a minimum been balanced out with a rational, factual analysis of the reality behind what Winston Churchill had decades earlier called the Iron Curtain. But today? Look no further than the furious liberal assaults on the outstanding coverage of the Clinton-FBI collusion scandal led by Hannity and a platoon of serious investigative journalists like Fox’s Sara Carter and The Hill’s John Solomon to see just how unsettling the end of the Liberal State Media monopoly (the LSM, as we will call it here) has been to the elites that run it. Here is just one of the headlines, this one from Real Clear Politics: RCP quotes Stelter as saying this: BRIAN STELTER: “You can’t understand fully how the Mueller probe is being perceived, how the public is understanding it, without understanding how conservative media is trying to discredit Mueller, discredit the FBI, and discredit the DoJ. There is this concerted effort from pro-Trump hosts on Fox News, from radio hosts like Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin, and from right-wing bloggers and social media stars, to tear down Mueller, demand his firing, and in some cases even demand his arrest. It is like watching an alternate universe. You mention Jeanine Pirro, the woman who . Let’s take a look at what she is saying this week. Here’s how she’s framing this for her audience — which includes President Trump…” Notice. “Conservative media” is portrayed here as “like watching an alternate universe.” And the headline is that “Conservative Media Is Fueling The Divide.” There is no reflection – none – that maybe, just maybe, the LSM’s year-plus long empty effort to portray President Trump as the secret puppeteer behind a sinister “collusion” with Russia to steal the presidential election is not only flatly false with zero proof but, yes – gasp! – “fueling the divide” in America. No expressed thought that maybe, just maybe, it is the Liberal State Media that is the real “alternate universe.” An alternate universe that has its own “concerted effort” to bring down a president they hate. Take the idea that President Trump is somehow unique when it comes to attacking the media. Townhall, a year ago writer Caleb Parke took the time to assemble a reminder to LSM stars of another President who declared war on the media. That would be, of course, President Obama and his constant war on Fox News. Even before he was elected, Parke reminds then-presidential nominee Obama was complaining in October of 2008 as follows: “I am convinced that if there were no Fox News, I might be two or three points higher in the polls,” Obama told liberal journalist Matt Bai of the New York Times Magazine. “[T]he way I’m portrayed 24/7 is as a freak! I am the latté-sipping, New York Times-reading, Volvo-driving, no-gun-owning, effete, politically correct, arrogant liberal. Who wants somebody like that?” That was only the beginning. Once elected President Obama personally led an eight-year war on Fox. An attack exemplified by this quote from a “senior” Obama official in  in 2009 – Obama’s very first year in office. “They (Fox News) are the paid political programming for a party, and occasionally a couple of news stories break out in the midst of 23 hours and 45 minutes of political rantings and opinion,” said one senior administration official. “Everything about it is one-sided political opinion directed at a base. Period.” This, of course, is more or less the view of the Trump White House about the Liberal State Media. While CNN famously gets the most Trump attention in this regard it has been said in some form about a number of LSM outlets which have made it their business to defend whatever item on the liberal agenda they perceive as being under attack. It could be illegal immigration, tax cuts, the EPA, the FBI or even the NFL and the LSM will instantly throw up a protective media shield to defend whoever or whatever they perceive as under assault from the Trump White House. It is – and this is most important to understand – the way the Liberal State Media has always responded. Let’s hop in the time machine and go back to a moment long, long ago when Donald Trump was still literally in grad school and not even close to being on even the business horizon, let along the political horizon. The moment fifty years ago was written up just this week of 2018 in the Wall Street Journal by William Luti, whom the WSJ identifies as “a retired career naval officer and former special assistant to President George W. Bush for defense policy and strategy.” The year: 1968. The Vietnam War rages. Democrat Lyndon Johnson is in the White House. And Mr. Luti headlines: Did Fake News Lose the Vietnam War? Journalists wrongly portrayed the Tet Offensive as a U.S. defeat and never corrected the record. Luti writes, in part, this: “Seemingly out of nowhere, a shock wave hit South Vietnam on Jan. 30, 1968. In a coordinated assault unprecedented in ferocity and scale, more than 100,000 North Vietnamese and Viet Cong soldiers stormed out of their sanctuaries in Laos and Cambodia. They went on to attack more than 100 towns and cities across South Vietnam. The following 77 days changed the course of the Vietnam War. The American people were bombarded with a nightly stream of devastating television and daily print reporting. Yet what they saw was so at odds with the reality on the ground that many Vietnam veterans believe truth itself was under attack. …Despite their ferocity, by most objective military standards, the communists achieved none of their goals. U.S. and South Vietnamese forces held fast, regrouped and fought back. By late March they had achieved a decisive victory over the communist forces. Hanoi wouldn’t be able to mount another full-scale invasion of South Vietnam until the 1972 Easter offensive. But in living rooms across America, the nightly news described an overwhelming American defeat. The late Washington Post Saigon correspondent Peter Braestrup later concluded the event marked a major failure in the history of American journalism.” Mr. Luti doesn’t mention it, but I will. The news of the day – on the Tet offensive in Vietnam and everything else – came through the filter of the Liberal State Media. There was no balance. There was no Fox, no Sean Hannity, no Rush or Mark and certainly no Internet. There was no one with any kind of a media megaphone who could say to the American people: The Liberal State Media has got it wrong, and here’s how and why. Now? Look no further than this complaint from President Barack Obama – made in 2016 after the election of Donald Trump. Why did Trump win? Obama groused it was because there was: “Fox News in every bar and restaurant in big chunks of the country.” Which is to say, from the beginning to the end of his eight years in the White House, President Obama (and he most certainly wasn’t alone) was furious that the monopoly once owned by the Liberal State Media was gone – and gone for good. Which in turn resulted in coverage of his own White House he could not abide and, in 2016, presented the American people with an entirely different view of Hillary Clinton than the one put out there every day by the fawning Liberal State Media. All of this is worth bearing in mind as the now-famously unreleased memo on what was really happening behind the scenes in the FBI probe of the phony Trump-Russian collusion presumably gets unclassified and released to the American public. The memo will doubtless make interesting reading. But the real point of interest is that thanks to Fox News, talk radio and the Internet the American people will get to read it for themselves – and unlike long ago days, the Liberal State Media will not be able to either stop it or misrepresent it unchallenged. Which is exactly why their attacks on the conservative media that has broken their monopoly will heat up. And go nowhere. The NFL definition of this particular penalty is as follows: Any person (usually a player but occasionally a coach and very rarely one or more spectators) acts or speaks in a manner deemed to be intentionally harmful or especially objectionable by the game officials, or by rule. Unsportsmanlike conduct is a non-contact foul; if contact is involved it becomes a personal foul. Examples include verbal abuse of officials, and taunting, which, since 2004 in the NFL, has included any “prolonged and premeditated celebrations” by players. 15 yards. If committed by the defense, automatic first down. Got that? “Unsportsmanlike Conduct” as defined by the NFL is about “any person” who “acts or speaks in a manner deemed to be intentionally harmful or especially objectionable by the game official.” And in this case? Quite clearly insulting the flag not to mention members and veterans of the American military are not deemed by the NFL as “intentionally harmful or especially objectionable.” Wow. Bear this in mind as you grasp this news story with the Super Bowl set to kick off on February 4th. Over here at the The story says in part: “WASHINGTON — AMVETS officials are decrying ‘corporate censorship’ from the National Football League for their decision not to run an ad in their Super Bowl program which responds to league players’ decision to kneel for the national anthem in protest of national equality issues. The ad, which would have cost the veterans organization $30,000, features the tag “#PleaseStand” with a picture of service members saluting the American flag and information on how to donate to the congressionally-chartered organization. Group leaders said NFL officials refused to include the ad in their Super Bowl publication, but did not issue a reason why. In a statement, AMVETS National Commander Marion Polk said the issue is one of fairness and respect. ‘Freedom of speech works both ways,’ he said. ‘We respect the rights of those who choose to protest, as these rights are precisely what our members have fought — and in many cases died — for.’ ‘But imposing corporate censorship to deny that same right to those veterans who have secured it for us all is reprehensible and totally beyond the pale.’” If anything meets the NFL’s definition of “Unsportsmanlike Conduct” it would be this rejection of an ad from a non-partisan group of American veterans merely asking for the most obvious of courtesies: Stand for the flag during the national anthem. Let’s back up. Super Bowl LII is scheduled to feature what should be a highly anticipated showdown with Super Bowl perennial Tom Brady and the New England Patriots versus the Philadelphia Eagles. Here in Pennsylvania, to say that Eagles fans are looking forward to this is to understate. But. The entire football season was something any ordinary American not to mention any NFL executive could reasonably have expected to be the traditional big sporting deal of the fall. And it wasn’t – because the NFL decided to tangle itself in Left-wing politics. There is nothing wrong with protest. Protest is as American as apple pie. But successful protests have to be run by people who have a sense of when – and where – to protest. And if ever there was a big fail on the part of the NFL in the 2017 season it was in not grasping that the take-a-knee controversy, in which players knelt during the national anthem to protest police brutality, would quickly be seen as something altogether different by NFL fans. To wit: the sight of rich athletes kneeling during a salute to the flag for which Americans have died was quickly seen by average fans as nothing less than a decided and quite intended insult to the flag – and veterans. The reaction was predictable. It was so furious that across the pond the UK’s Daily Mail felt compelled to cover the story, • More than 200 players in the league knelt or sat down during the national anthem on Sunday’s NFL games including • Teams include New Orleans Saints, Oakland Raiders, and New England Patriots • Only one Pittsburgh Steeler player stood on the field during anthem as remainder stayed behind in tunnel or locker room • Now, NFL fans across the country are upset with athletes who protested • People have filmed themselves burning their memorabilia in support of the national anthem and what it means to them And the reaction would get worse. No less than President Trump, a football fan who once considered buying an NFL franchise, was incensed. Never one to mince words the country heard the President this way, The Post duly reported Trump’s blunt language: “President Trump on Friday lashed out at pro football players who don’t stand during the national anthem – and urged team owners to remove those silent protesters from the field. Trump, appearing at a campaign rally for US Sen. Luther Strange (R-Ala.) said he wished NFL suits would take a hard-line stance against players who take a knee while “The Star-Spangled Banner” is played before kickoff. “We’re proud of our country, we respect our flag,” Trump told supporters in Huntsville. “Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when someone disrespects our flag to say, `Get that son of a bitch off the field right now! Out. He’s fired! He’s fired!“ Trump then pranced around the stage, arms extended, to soak up wild applause from supporters chanting, “USA, USA, USA!” Photos began circulating of heretofore jammed NFL stadiums with whole sections of empty seats. Not to be forgotten was television. that sums up the NFL’s bad news: Fox began its report this way: “National Football League executives looking to stop a ratings skid continued to lose more yardage during the 2016-2017 season, as television viewership fell 9.7 percent across all networks, according to Nielsen data. An average NFL game was watched by 1.6 million fewer people compared to last year, declining overall from 16.5 million to 14.9 million, ESPN reported.” You would think with all of this the NFL would not simply make it plain to players that they must take their protests off the field – where they can protest to their heart’s content – but that the NFL had no intention of insulting either the flag or its fans. But…you would think wrong. Now comes the news that in the most important game on the NFL schedule – the Super Bowl – the NFL is going out of its way to ban an ad from veterans that simply asks that Americans stand for the national anthem. The AMVETS ad, by the way, was run during both the National Hockey League and Major League Baseball coverage, respectively the hockey and baseball all-star games’ programs. What effect will this have on Super Bowl ratings? We will see. But without doubt whatever else this football season has shown is that like all manner of American institutions – college campuses, federal courts, the media and more – the NFL has been infected by Leftist politics. Unsportsmanlike Conduct be damned. Which is not just a shame. It is also Super Dumb. 'ISIS IS BACK': GOP Rep.

It’s the mad green, fake environmentalists, sanctimonious and self-important, who are going to kill us by forcing us to cold turkey off fossil fuels and live in a cold, cruel world where the poorest will starve or freeze to death and where the chosen few, the self-appointed elite, will ignore reality, worship electricity (made from the diminishing fossil fuels) and create a pseudoscientific crisis out of thin air in order to oppress, suppress and banish humanity, decency, dignity and respect from our lives. (Article by Rhoda Wilson republished from ) The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predicts that a global warming of 2.5 degrees centigrade to 4.0 degrees centigrade would reduce global GDP by 2% to 5% by the year 2100 but that the global economy will, by 2100, be between 300% and 500% larger than it is at the moment. This destroys the argument that climate change will have a noticeable impact on the global economy. The International Energy Agency has stated that by the year 2040 our planet will still obtain only around 5% of its energy needs from renewable sources (including burning trees or `biomass’). If the mad greens have their way and stop us from using fossil fuels there is just one certainty: billions will die of cold and starvation. Of course, the majority of the preening, self-satisfied, ignorant global warming cultists actually believe that the world is coming to an end. These middle-class cultists are too stupid to realise that they are working for conspirators determined to take away our freedom and our humanity and to control us with social credit and digital money. The latest dire nonsense is that everything in central London will be under water before we’ve had time to pick up our wellington boots, head for the nearest mountain and pitch camp where we can choose between freezing to death and starving to death. The mad cultists have been told that the planet won’t survive and that billions will die as the waters rise inexorably towards the heavens. There is, of course, no evidence for any of this. They started off by calling the plot `global warming’ but had to change the name of the scam when it became clear that the planet seemed to be getting cooler more often than it got warmer and they realised that calling it climate change would give them more scope to include more varieties of natural disaster in their propaganda. And the whole scam was created decades ago to prepare for the Great Reset. A group of British psychologists have reported that children are suffering from anxiety caused by the frightening predictions made by those predicting that climate change will affect our future. All this stress has to be added to the massive anxiety caused by the covid-19 fraud. Global warming nutters have forecast that ‘life on earth is dying, billions will die and the collapse of civilisation has already begun’. They have also compared global warming to the Holocaust but ‘on a far greater scale’. There is not one shred of evidence for any of this. Look at the facts: In the 1920s, half a million people were killed by weather disasters. In the last decade, the total was 18,000. In 1900, nearly 5% of the world’s land area caught fire. Now the figure is close to 3%. The Great Barrier Reef and polar bears are booming. The IPPC’s estimate is that sea levels could rise by two feet by the year 2100. How much of a crisis do you think this is, given that one-third of the Netherlands has always been below sea level –some of it over 60 feet below sea level? The nutters believe this nonsense because they’ve been repeatedly told that it’s true. The BBC says it’s true and doesn’t allow debate. The police allow the cultists to close down London because they’ve been told to let them do what they want to help destroy what’s left of the economy. Incidentally, I see that they erected a huge pink table in London. I wonder what it’s made of – and how much energy was consumed in its manufacture. Were any power tools used? Just curious. The global warming loonies don’t seem to be aware that we’ve always had weather and there have always been loonies warning that the end of the world is nigh. In 1817, the President of the Royal Society in London warned that there had been a considerable change of climate that would lead to massive changes. In 1947, a Swedish geophysicist warned that the climate was warming up. In the 1970s, the BBC, that perennial source of misinformation, warned of an oncoming ice age – as big a threat to life as a nuclear war. In 2007 we were warned that we had five years to save the planet. In 2011, the International Energy Agency said we had five years left. In 2017, the United Nations said we had three years left. In 2013, a Cambridge professor said all the Arctic ice would be gone by 2015. In 2009, Gordon Brown, then UK PM, took time off from buggering up the economy to tell us we had 50 days left. Back in 2004, the Observer newspaper told us that we’d be living in a Siberian climate by 2020. Eleven years ago, Prince Charles said we had eight years left to save the planet. If there have been any strange weather phenomena in recent years they have been man-made – but deliberately not accidentally. I don’t believe that any rational scientist who has looked at the evidence believes in the myth of global warming. Every time it rains the cultists blame global warming. But the wettest day in Britain this summer was less than a third as wet as the wettest day in 1929 and just a quarter as wet as Dorset in 1955. We’re told that hurricanes are more common now. But that’s a lie. They try to push up the figures by counting breezes as storms but the evidence is clear: there are no more hurricanes today than there used to be. The media just make more of a fuss because it helps the agenda. There are no more forest fires either. Climate change campaigners claim that forest fires are a result of global warming. But experts in both Australia and America have concluded that climate change has had little or no impact on the development of forest fires – which are, in any case, less frequent than they used to be. The average annual acreage of American forest burned is now around 6.6 million. Back in 1928, the average annual acreage of American forest lost to fires was 41.7 million. I am pretty confident that 41.7 is a bigger figure than 6.6. Between 1931 (the peak) and 2020, there has been a 99.7% decline in the death toll from natural disasters around the globe. The cultists who worship at the feet of the doomsters don’t realise that without coal you can’t make steel and that without steel you cannot make windmills or solar panels. They believe we need more trees to keep us healthy but when they’re not chopping them down and turning them into pellets to create electricity, they’re chopping them down because they interfere with the new 5G equipment that will help control our new digital future. Much of the so-called clean electricity being sold in the UK these days is created by burning wood. And the wood comes from America where trees are chopped down before being turned into wood pellets known as biomass and then carried across the Atlantic in large diesel-powered vessels. They are turning food into biofuel and condemning millions to death by starvation so that we can reduce our consumption of fossil fuels. The new petrol and biofuel mix won’t work in older cars so the poor will have to walk everywhere. The cultists have claimed that climate change will result in koala bears (among other animals) becoming extinct. There are currently 300,000 koala bears living in the wild and the main threat to their existence is the destruction of their habitat – as a result of farmers requiring more land upon which to grow biofuels. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation say that crop yields will rise by 30% by the year 2050. The planet’s poorest countries will see their yields rise by 80-90%. But the increase in yields will depend on the use of tractors and heavy machinery which will, of course, require oil. (Rural areas of poor countries will not be able to afford electricity and charging points until they are richer.) Global warming cultists will force poor countries to stay poor – and will be responsible for millions of early deaths. And the nutters are now claiming to be able to produce `green steel’. As I have previously pointed out, it is traditionally impossible to make steel without coal. But according to the Bill Gates linked newspaper  The Guardian , the newspaper for the empty-headed and the addle-brained, there are plans afoot to manufacture steel without using coal. So how can this be done? Apparently, the new green steel will be made using hydrogen as a fuel instead of coal. And where does the hydrogen come from? Well, since pure hydrogen is hard to come by 95% of is made with fossil fuels. So, that’s how they’re going to make green coal without burning fossil fuels. They’re going to make hydrogen by burning fossil fuels and then use the hydrogen to make the steel. Expert engineer Gordon Murray points out other problems with using hydrogen. It takes huge amounts of energy to produce and it is dangerous to store. Murray says that making a litre of hydrogen uses more oil than it takes to make a litre of petrol. You have to laugh, don’t you? And the UK Government wants us all to replace gas boilers with hydrogen boilers – knowing darned well, incidentally, that hydrogen boilers are less efficient. The obsessive loonies who sort out all the rubbish in semi-religious earnestness don’t understand that all the evidence shows that recycling costs money and energy and time and has been proved to do far more harm than good. That’s why so much of the carefully sorted recycling is taken abroad to be dumped. The problem now is that few countries will accept Britain’s unwanted recycling because it just isn’t cost-effective. The recycling scam was just to create obedience, compliance – and to prepare the dim-witted for mask-wearing and experimental jabs. The cultists don’t seem to care that a move away from fossil fuels will make no difference to the planet but will result in billions of deaths and a massive rise in taxes that will further impoverish the already impoverished. The crazy, deluded greens and fake environmentalists want to stop us from using fossil fuels and kill off the industries involved within a couple of years. Politicians, using the earnestness of the loonies as an excuse for their insane policies, and ignoring both the facts and public feeling, are introducing absurd new laws which will destroy everything any of us values. In Scotland, the Greens and the SNP have joined together to create an unholy alliance of mad cultists. The enthusiastic supporters of electric cars and wind turbines don’t realise that we’ll need massive new mines to dig out huge quantities of cobalt, lithium, nickel and other essentials. Try digging mines without fossil fuels. Electric vehicles have a higher carbon footprint than cars with combustion engines and to add to that the electricity they use is often created by burning fossil fuels. And those foolish souls who buy electric cars will soon find themselves struggling to find somewhere to drive them as roads everywhere are divided up to provide thousands of miles of ill-designed cycle lanes. The carefully, deliberately and cruelly created myth of global warming has now become an integral part of the global economy. A professional investment manager publicly announced the other day that ‘the world is undergoing rapid change amid the degradation of the natural environment and the looming breakdown of the global climate system’. There is not one shred of evidence for any of this. And in the absence of evidence, the cultists at the top are deliberately creating changes to our climate using geoengineering – they have been manipulating the weather for a long time but it has accelerated in recent years. Also, they intend to send tons of calcium carbonate into the stratosphere to block the sun in the guise of combatting global warming. When in reality, this will only shorten the growing seasons causing mass starvation – there’s a surprise! Company directors are so terrified of being criticised by the cultists and lunatics who promote the global warming myth that they have pretty well all rolled over and agreed to do whatever the noisy minority tells them to do. (The same virtue-signalling cowards still pay themselves obscene bonuses, expenses and pensions.) Some company bosses are taking their companies off the stock markets, taking them into private hands so that they can avoid the nutty shareholders and the regulators. The UK Pensions Regulator has warned the managers of pension schemes that they will be in trouble if they do not make mandatory climate risk disclosures. They will have to report their investments in companies which don’t make satisfactory changes to fit in with the imaginary global warming fears. I suspect that pensions will fall dramatically as a result. In America, the Federal Reserve the financial regulator and the Treasury are all looking into incorporating global warming policies into financial regulation. The same thing is happening in the European Union and in the United Kingdom. Indeed, the UK appears to be leading the world in introducing oppressive and dangerous new regulations. The truth, of course, is that there is no scientific evidence to support the theory that global warming (or any variation) will pose a threat to our way of life in any way. There is certainly no evidence to suggest, let alone prove, that global warming will have any influence on financial institutions or the corporate world. What is happening, of course, is that financial regulations are being used to force through aggressive global warming policies that are neither necessary nor popular but which are part of the Agenda 21 global reset and which are designed to lead us painfully into the world of the New Normal. Moreover, activists everywhere are taking control of previously independent companies. In May 2021, a Dutch court ruled that Shell, the oil company, must cut its carbon emissions of 45% by 2030 compared with its 2019 levels. An activist group with just 0.02% of the shares in Exxon, another oil company, somehow managed to win two seats on the company’s 12-person board. Not to be outdone, the British Government has pledged that the UK will cut its emissions of greenhouse gases by 78% by 2035, compared to the levels in 1990. No one appears to have told the Government that the population has risen by many millions during that period and will doubtless continue to rise. The UK in the year 2035 is going to be a dark, cold, miserable place. The UK’s target is the most ambitious in the world and will cost taxpayers a collective £3 trillion. There will be higher taxes and higher costs for everything. Replacing existing heating and cooking systems with electricity (which both politicians and campaigners appear to think grows on trees) will cost households huge sums. From the year 2025, it will be illegal to fit a home with a gas boiler. And existing boilers and systems will be illegal from the mid-2030s. (These dates could well be brought forward.) Homeowners will each have to spend tens of thousands of pounds on compulsory heat pumps, insulation and so on. If homes aren’t altered sufficiently then homeowners will not be allowed to sell them after the year 2028. They won’t be able to rent them out either. The result, of course, will be that house prices will fall (because of the cost of the legally required improvements) and rental prices will soar. The poor will suffer again. The United Nations was ecstatic with delight when it reported that its climate change goals for 2020 were almost achieved with the global covid-19 lockdowns. There will have to be almost constant lockdowns to keep the global warming nutters happy. Rich people in charge of rich governments are promising to end fossil fuel use by 2050. I wonder if they know how much pain will be involved. The poor will have to pay for this through carbon tariffs. The developing countries will be punished before they’ve even started to enjoy the delights of fossil fuels. It is an underestimate to say that hundreds of millions will die of starvation and cold. The sanctimonious, virtue-signalling global warming nutters are so ill-informed that they’re unintentionally supporting plans for global genocide. If they knew anything and really cared about the environment they would campaign against pointless face masks – instead of wearing them. Billions of discarded face masks are now a major threat to all forms of wildlife. Now that they have cornered the majority with the covid-19 hoax we have to redefine our beliefs, our perceptions and revaluate our enemies. For example, you should know that anyone who talks about sustainable development is a bad person. The philosophy known as sustainable development is a direct route to the end of democracy and humanity. It is never benign. The incompetent mathematical modellers and the social media snipers are spreading dread and suppressing truths with the same, practised skill that they employed when firing up the covid fear and demonising the truth-tellers. And so, the mad fools who terrified the world with a fake covid pandemic are now going to segue neatly, as I predicted, into scaring the world with the fake global warming pandemic which they devised back in the last century and which was designed to control and to kill and not to save or preserve. The Chinese-style social credit system I have warned about is already here. Global warming will be used to tighten up the rules and oppress us still further. The loony pseudo-environmentalists are not benign or well-meaning. They are either ill-informed or stupid or malignant or all three. And they are our enemies. I’m afraid that the covid-19 fraud was just the beginning. The truth is that the idea of global warming has about as much solid fact behind it as the existence of the dear old tooth fairy. Actually, rather less, because when I was little, I would leave a tooth under my pillow and wake to find it replaced with a six-penny piece. We had sixpences in those days. So, there is more practical evidence to support the existence of the tooth fairy than there is to support the existence of global warming, global cooling or climate change or whatever the lunatics have decided to call it this week.

The first element under attack is carbon dioxide. The United Nations has declared CO2 to be a pollutant, a greenhouse gas that contributes to warmer temperatures around the globe. The UN climate change experts believe control the Earth’s thermostat and dictate temperatures around the globe. In order to accomplish their goals, they seek to control industry, energy, farming and food production of sovereign nations. CO2 accounts for approximately , mainly through fossil fuels and the production of iron, steel, cement and petrochemicals. Governments are investing in carbon sequestration to . Ironically, carbon dioxide is the very thing that humans also exhale every moment of their lives. CO2 is critical for plant life, for it is used in the process of photosynthesis to stimulate plant growth and return oxygen back to the atmosphere so people can breathe. Carbon itself is the building block of all life. Every living thing on planet Earth is made of carbon. There is carbon in human skin, organs and blood. All plant matter consists of carbon atoms. So, when government officials propose carbon taxes to fight climate change, they are directly threatening all life on Earth and implying that depopulation and plant scarcity is the answer for controlling planetary temperatures. Carbon dioxide isn’t the only element under attack. If CO2 is a pollutant, then so is oxygen, because it’s the dominant atom of CO2. Moreover, by curbing carbon dioxide levels and limiting plant growth, globalists are essentially trying to limit the exchange of oxygen for people and animals to breathe. That’s not all. Globalists are now targeting the nitrogen that plants need in order to grow. Nitrogen fertilizers, which are responsible for over half of the world’s food supply, are now being restricted. Farmers are protesting worldwide, as the United Nations enforces the Paris Climate Agreement. For example, the Dutch government has already submitted their plan to . The war on nitrogen is a war on agriculture and it will cause famines of great magnitude. These climate controls also target livestock and sunshine. For example, the Dutch government estimates they will have to shut down 11,200 farms and kill livestock owned by 17,600 farmers by 2030 to satisfy the Paris Climate Agreement. Sunlight is also being targeted. Governments are that inject metals into the atmosphere to reflect sunlight away from the surface of the Earth. These globalists are interested in , while convincing populations that it’s all being done for the betterment of the planet and the future of mankind. This is about as psychopathic as it can get. In their quest to be God of the universe, these globalists are dismantling the energy and food supply of sovereign nations, driving populations into destitution. Check out the documentary: .

""In this paper, we argue that rationing has been neglected as a policy option for mitigating climate change. There is a broad scientific consensus that avoiding the most severe impacts of climate change requires a rapid reduction in global emissions,"" . ""We argue that rationing could help states reduce emissions rapidly and fairly. Our arguments in this paper draw on economic analysis and historical research into rationing in the UK during (and after) the two world wars, highlighting success stories and correcting misconceptions. However, although the empirical details play an important role, the paper is primarily based on philosophical and ethical argument and policy analysis, particularly highlighting the normative assumptions behind policy choices,"" the abstract continues. It goes on to say: This paper argues that rationing has been neglected as a . Indeed, it may be that it is not merely neglected, but is considered by many to be an unpalatable option. Raj Patel has suggested that ‘rationing is about as acceptable a topic of conversation as hemorrhoids’ (Patel, quoted in (Cox,  , back cover)). In this paper, however, we argue that rationing could plausibly play an important role in an effective and fair means of reducing emissions and is therefore worthy of serious consideration. One of few authors to explicitly propose the adoption of rationing to mitigate climate change is the historian Mark Roodhouse. In his discussion of wartime rationing, Mark Roodhouse explains that ‘in 1939 and 1940 the government rejected proposals to rely upon increased taxation to cut consumption because the impact of tax rises would be slow and inequitable’ (Roodhouse,  ). This quote highlights the fact that, as well as being fairer than taxes, Roodhouse considers rationing to be more effective in achieving results quickly. Writing about climate change in particular, Roodhouse concludes that rationing would be more effective than a carbon tax if a government wanted ‘to reduce carbon emissions quickly and dramatically’. A rationing scheme could also have broader applications, the researchers state. “The concept of rationing could help, not only in the mitigation of climate change,”  , “but also in reference to a variety of other social and political issues – such as the current energy crisis.” ""The cost of living crisis has shown what happens when scarcity drives up prices, with energy prices rising steeply and leaving vulnerable groups unable to pay their bills. Currently, those living in energy poverty cannot use anywhere near their fair share of energy supply, whereas the richest in society are free to use as much energy as they can afford,"" he added, Science Daily . While currently just a research study, its significance could escalate rapidly as we approach 2030, a pivotal year for the UN's Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate Accords. It is apparent that the world will not fulfill its obligations, and this could amplify the importance of the study. There are already efforts underway to curb individual mobility and consumption, and more such initiatives are likely to follow. The concept of “15-minute cities” has faced significant criticism around the world, with pilot tests due to be conducted in Oxford, which has also generated controversy. Starting from 2024, the Oxford City Council plans to divide the city into six distinct “neighborhoods,” . Unauthorized travel will result in fines. Oxford residents can apply for special permits, which will allow them to drive into other neighborhoods for up to 100 days per year. Beyond that, they will need to rely on public transportation, cycling, or walking to move between neighborhoods. The left doesn't build societies and cultures; it tears them down so that .

""And if you look closely, as it turns out, the guys who are promoting those engineering solutions are the people who own the IPS, the patents for those solutions,"" he said.

For the past 40 years, Kennedy has maintained the same positions on policies related to climate and engineering. His speeches going back to the 1980s show that he has always supported ""free market capitalism"" as the solution to environmental problems. With an agenda like this, Kennedy might as well be running as a Republican. In many ways, though, it is better that he is running as a Democrat because Kennedy's positions used to be more the norm among Democrats, who have since been co-opted by far-left extremism. Because Kennedy's positions make sense, though, and are likely to be widely supported by Americans of all political stripes, the establishment will probably keep him hidden away and out of view as much and for as long as possible, just like they did to Ron Paul and others in the past who rocked the boat politically speaking.

But is any of this true? (Related: Juan Cole, a history professor at the University of Michigan , that ""inaction"" on climate change will one day ""literally sink"" the entire state of Florida.) The answer is of course not . But that has never once stopped the media from falsely attributing natural disasters to normal human activity, which is increasingly in the crosshairs of the globalists who want to erase all freedom and liberty under the guise of saving the planet. The reality is that the number of landfalling hurricanes in the United States is decreasing , not increasing. Likewise, there has been no increase in the costs associated with hurricane damage as falsely claimed by the media. ""After adjusting for a likely under-count of hurricanes in the pre-satellite era there is essentially no long-term trend in hurricane counts,"" says the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which actively tracks and compiles hurricane data. ""The evidence for an upward trend is even weaker if we look at , which even show a slight negative trend beginning from 1900 or from the late 1800s."" It turns out that increasingly fewer hurricanes are striking America these days, based on NOAA data. Any claim to the contrary is a bald-faced lie , or at best a contortion of the data. Financial Times (FT) is one of the fake news media outlets that falsely reported on an alleged increase in hurricanes due to global warming. The reality, though, is that the data (FT) used just shows improved hurricane detection due to satellites. You see, back in the 1800s and early 1900s, there were no satellites orbiting the earth. This means that far fewer hurricanes were detected at the time, which framed in just the right way can make it seem like there are more hurricanes today than there were back then. ""What are the chances that FT reporter @Aime_Williams didn't know this?"" asked Dr. Michael Shellenberger, M.D., on Twitter. ""I would guess close to zero."" ""It's possible that @Aime_Williams was careless but I doubt it. I would bet good money that she read NOAA's web site, which clearly warns that 'there is essentially no long-term trend in hurricane counts,' and chose to ignore it in order to sensationalize."" What about the intensity of hurricanes today versus back then? The corporate-controlled media, including Aime Williams over at FT, are insistent that the hurricanes of today are much, much stronger. Once again, Shellenberger debunks this by pointing to statements straight from the NOAA: ""... after adjusting for changes in observing capabilities (limited ship observations) in the pre-satellite era, there is no significant long-term trend (since the 1880s) in the proportion of hurricanes that become major hurricanes."" ""We conclude that the data do not provide compelling evidence for a substantial greenhouse warming-induced century-scale increase in: frequency of tropical storms, hurricanes, or major hurricanes, or in the proportion of hurricanes that become major hurricanes."" There you have it, folks. The NOAA is debunking the climate alarmists by reassuring the public that hurricanes are pretty much the same today as they have always been, and may even be decreasing in prevalence.

Such stories number in the hundreds , and in 2022 alone, the AP took in $8 million in ""grant"" money for the favor. All that money goes straight into the AP 's so-called ""Climate Journalism Initiative,"" which aims to employ 20 brand-new reporters whose job it will be to ""transform how the AP covers the climate story.""

Nowhere in the AP report is it mentioned even once that Podesta has a questionably devious political history, having been dubbed the ""White House cleanup chief"" during the corrupt Clinton years. ""As a wire service, the hard-hat rebranding from the AP will appear in thousands of newspapers across the world as news,"" writes The Federalist 's Larry Behrens. ""We don't know if the millions the AP received for climate coverage played a role in helping Biden rebrand his energy policy, and that's precisely the point."" (Related: Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is running for president, ""mega billionaires"" are behind the climate change scam and the tyranny it is foisting upon us all.) As the world forges ahead into the abyss of the digital age, local newspapers everywhere are either struggling to survive or are already bankrupt. And ready to replace them are the hordes of climate propagandists being hired by the likes of the AP and funded by the federal government with your tax dollars. It is a devious scheme that has been a long time coming, and the plan all along has been to eliminate all truthful reporting by starving the independent media of funding. Once obliterated, the climate brigade lies in wait to rebuild from the ashes a new ""green""-centric propaganda machine, which it is now doing all across the country and around the world. ""It is no secret that across the country, particularly in rural areas, newspapers are struggling to survive,"" Behrens explains. ""It's not unusual to walk into a small-town newspaper and find one person covering what used to be two or even three different full-time positions. The environmental left recognized this struggle and is now providing money and reporter reeducation to fill the void with its own version of the news."" One recent example of this is the nationally recognized Poynter Institute, which offered $15,000 grants to reporters or newsrooms willing to cover the Great Lakes area of North America – but with a catch. In order to qualify, potential grantees have to provide Poynter with ""A brief description of what they will probe, why they believe there is a story to be told, and how they plan to report the story."" In other words, in order to get that sweet, sweet cash, a reporter or newsroom must report the way Poynter expects: with a pro-climate change bent that accelerates the ""green""-ification of the planet. The Poynter Institute, by the way, gets ""funding support"" from the Joyce Foundation, which according to documents filed with the IRS is funded by Bloomberg Philanthropies, the brainchild of billionaire climate darling Michael Bloomberg.

Experts from George Mason University , the Yale Program on Climate Communication and the  University of Cambridge  will oversee the program. The labels are an addition to Facebook's current practice of flagging posts with climate change misinformation. For now, the labels will appear on posts in the United Kingdom. It will soon come to more countries, including the United States. This update represents Facebook's latest attempt to weed out lies about climate change . Previously, Founder and Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg had said the company must do away with regulating online speech after former President Donald Trump accused Twitter of censorship. Now, Zuckerberg has argued that the best way to keep misinformation from spreading on Facebook is not only to flag and remove misleading posts but also to offer users accurate information from authoritative sources. Facebook did not mention what kind of posts will be labeled, so it is not clear how peer-reviewed studies, news stories and opinion pieces will be classified under this new strategy. It is not clear how many users have visited the site's Climate Science Information Center to date. However, the company has said that over 600 million people visited a similar information hub with facts and data about COVID-19. Months later, the company launched a ""Voting Information Center"" for the U.S. elections. Facebook's strategy for tackling so-called climate change misinformation is not unlike what it did about myths surrounding the coronavirus pandemic. Beginning in March, the platform put vetted information about the virus at the top of users' news feeds in a bid to 'stop misleading content' from spreading on the network. The new update seems to be an answer to calls from legislators for Facebook to take more action in preventing the spread of climate change misinformation on the platform. More than a year ago, some U.S. senators, including Democrat Elizabeth Warren, said  . Facebook is no exception. The senators had demanded that Facebook answer questions about its fact-checking policies after it was found to have reversed a decision by its fact-checkers to label an op-ed piece ""false"" for including allegedly inaccurate information about climate change. Under its current guidelines, op-ed pieces are exempt from fact-checking. Furthermore, spokespeople for Facebook have since maintained that ""speech from politicians"" was not eligible to be fact-checked. Facebook found itself in hot waters again after it started removing millions of posts with false information and data about the coronavirus pandemic, . In his post, Trump said the country is learning to live with COVID-19 the same way it learned to live with the . Facebook's policy communications manager, Andy Stone, said they delete false information about the severity of the disease. Last year, Facebook, along with rival platform Twitter, also suspended Trump's account following news that Trump 'sanctioned' the storming of the U.S. Capitol. (Related:  .) But this new situation is different. Sander van der Linden, a professor of social psychology at the  University of Cambridge , said that Facebook is now in a unique position to counter online misinformation. The site's new Climate Science Information Center is a crucial step toward debunking ""dangerous falsehoods,"" he added. Go to  for more articles about the censorship of Facebook.

No, the true cause is an ever-changing climate, which can only be fixed if people stop eating meat and driving gas-powered vehicles. Bloomberg reported that produce inflation continues to skyrocket because of ""drought and storms"" that are destroying crops. States like Arizona and California have seen little rain, we are told, while other crop-producing states have gotten flooded. ""There's just not enough water to grow everything that we normally grow,"" said Don Cameron, president of the California State Board of Food and Agriculture. According to the BLS data, Americans paid 38.1 percent more for fresh and dry vegetables in November than in the month prior. (Related: In October, produce prices were already  just since the start of the year.) ""Prices for chicken eggs; meats; canned, cooked, smoked, or prepared poultry; and tobacco products also moved higher,"" the agency said. ""Conversely, the gasoline index fell 6.0 percent. Prices for diesel fuel, residential natural gas, and primary basic organic chemicals also declined."" Two states where much of the country's fresh produce is growing, California and Arizona, are among a slew of western states that have received less-than-normal rainfall in recent years, exacerbating the problem. California produces 30 percent of the country's tomatoes, 75 percent of its fruits and nuts, and 90 percent of its lettuce and other leafy greens. If water runs out there, the entire country suffers from food shortages. This, we are told, is driving the inflation problem, along with similar drought conditions in Arizona – and it is all because of global warming, the ""experts"" insist. ""The Golden State has seen the driest January-to-March period in at least a century, as well as record amounts of rainfall in October — a so-called 'whiplash' weather effect that is set to become more common as the planet heats up,"" one media report claims. ""A and restricted water supplies from the Colorado River in the southernmost part of the state has withered summer crops like tomatoes and onions and potentially leafy greens grown in the winter."" Starting in 2023, two states, one of them being Arizona, will have its water supplies from the Colorado River cut, which will only make the growing problem worse. ""It is unacceptable for Arizona to continue to carry a disproportionate burden of reductions for the benefit of others who have not contributed,"" complained Ted Cooke, general manager of the Central Arizona Project, in a statement about how damaging these water cuts will be. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabian corporations are buying up land in America's Southwest and using it to create feed and dairy not for the U.S. but for the Middle East. And the Saudis are using that same Colorado River water that many American farmers in Arizona will no longer have access to come 2023. ""Drought? There are droughts every single year,"" pointed out a commenter about how the drought and global warming excuse simply does not explain the current inflationary crisis.

""They tend to come in three-letter acronyms: ESG DEI, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion; CSR, Corporate Social Responsibility,"" Ramaswamy explained. ""There are three-letter acronyms that word salad that are designed to hide the essence of what is going on, which is using corporate power to get done through the backdoor, what could not get done through the front door in our political process."" Calling it ""the defining scam of our time,"" Ramaswamy also pointed to America's three largest asset managers as being complicit. They are State Street, Vanguard, , which together manage more than $20 trillion . ""That's more than the GDP of the United States, by the way,"" Ramaswamy said. ""[These three asset management companies] are aggregating the money of everyday pensioners and retirees, etc. But using that to then throw their weight around in corporate America saying, 'You need these racial quota systems on your board. Yeah, you need to cut oil production. You need to reduce your carbon emissions.' Agendas that would make the blood of those retirees boil if they knew what was exactly going on, using somebody else's money to advance a political agenda that they disagree with."" Seeing as how many of the corporations that are going along with the ruse are multinational, the same agendas are also being pushed overseas, right? Wrong . According to Ramaswamy, these companies' Chinese operations are exempt from all of it – it is exclusively an American thing (or perhaps a Western thing) that aims to deconstruct Western civilization piece by piece. ""In the United States, they preach ESG,"" Ramaswamy says. ""In China, they supplicate to the CCP (Chinese Communist Party). As I say, this is sort of the motto of companies like Blackrock around the world."" In other words, the American free market is an illusion . And it is far worse even than a monopoly or an ideological cartel, Ramaswamy says. Corporate America is more of an oligarchy, and it holds more power than government officials to push its weight around and get its way, regardless of who is in office at any given time. ""They're working hand in glove with the party in power to be able to do their bidding through the private sector,"" Ramaswamy explained about how the process works. ""If you couldn't get the Green New Deal through Congress, guess what John Kerry is doing? He's getting every major banking CEO to sign the so-called Climate Pledge ... but it is also a form of crony capitalism because I will tell you, you know, as well as I, banks are not charitable institutions."" One question that remains is what are banking CEOs getting in return for agreeing to sign Kerry's so-called ""Climate Pledge?"" Maybe one day we will know the answer to this question. ""This is the crony capitalism of our moment, and I just think of the way in which the critical race theory issue was a mobilizing issue for Republicans in 2021."" Meanwhile, companies are getting propped up or beaten down depending on their compliance with ESG and other nefarious agendas. And if your money is being managed by the likes of BlackRock, then you are directly supporting these agendas. More related news can be found at .

That is no doubt true. And an incredibly damaging admission. The philanthropic quid-pro-quo saw five organizations fund the AP’s dedicated team of “more than two dozen journalists” to cover “climate issues” that the wire service would then plant in papers around the country to terrify Americans into supporting ‘green’ taxes and subsidies. The Associated Press did not bother to explain to its readers or the newspapers that run its stories why these organizations were impelled to throw millions at it except sheer benevolence. Nor did it explain why they might be particularly interested in convincing Americans that the climate sky is falling and that our economy must be dismantled and ‘greened’: raising energy prices and putting millions out of work. The paragon service of journalism did not even bother explaining to its readers what one of the five, Quadrivium, was beyond a Latin word. Quadrivium is the pet project of James Murdoch and his wife, the ‘black sheep’ of Clan Murdoch, who left the family business in a huff “due to disagreements over certain editorial content published by the Company’s news outlets“. Quadrivium seeks to reach “a majority of the public” to generate “urgent action” on the bipartisan passage of a US climate strategy.” The proposed template is the “carbon rebate plan” which would tax Americans through their carbon use and then promise to pay some of the money back to them. The plan comes from the Climate Leadership Council whose board includes Kathryn Murdoch: James’s wife. CLC’s partners include major banks, JP Morgan, Santander and Goldman Sachs, energy companies, BP, Shell and Conoco, who believe that the proposal will be good for them. The AP has helpfully promoted the CLC’s carbon tax plan in puff pieces like “Carbon tax plan worthy of bipartisan support”. Its editorial board described the CLC as a “group of venerable Republicans” and claims that taxing Americans for the benefit of special interests would be “a quintessentially conservative plan”. That was a strange new respect from the AP which has relentlessly tried to associate Republicans and conservatives with Nazis. The “venerable Republicans” currently on CLC’s board include not only Kathryn Murdoch, but also a former Goldman Sachs executive focusing on climate finance, a board member of the Brown Advisory Sustainable Investing Advisory Board and a founding managing partner of “Qiming Venture Partners: one of China’s premier VC firms” that was an early investor in TikTok. That is what ESG looks like underneath the Gen Z activists being paid to scream in the streets even as the AP is being paid to scream more respectably in stories planted in local papers. Serious journalism would ask questions or at least mention some of this in passing. The AP instead acts as a mouthpiece without even enough lingering self-respect to disclose any of that. James Murdoch has put a lot of money into green projects. His foundation joined a consortium of investors piling into BlackRock’s $250 million climate fund. He’s also on the board of directors of Tesla, and a potential candidate to succeed Musk, and the EV car company’s business model depends on a government subsidized climate panic. Lupa Systems, Murdoch’s venture capital fund, also has some investments in environmental startups. The AP might have mentioned this to its readers before writing an article congratulating itself for taking cash to promote Murdoch’s views. But it’s not just Murdoch. The Rockefeller Foundation, which is another of the Big 5 funding AP’s climate propaganda, put $500 million into green energy abroad. The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, another of the AP’s climate sugar daddies, has numerous climate initiatives, and these include the Climate Finance Fund. The Foundation refuses to invest in companies that drill for gas or oil. The Howard Hughes Medical Institute, set up by the eccentric tycoon as a tax shelter, was quickly hijacked after his death. Delaware, where it was incorporated, appointed a board that sold off Hughes Aircraft to GM. But HMMI’s original emphasis on medical research has more recently declined into wokeness. Last year, HMMI announced a $2 billion investment to increase “diversity” in science. HMI appears to be a major investor in Kreido Biofuels, And finally there’s the fifth of the AP’s big five climate funders: the Walton Family Foundation. The foundation of the Walmart heirs has four board members. Lukas Walton, Sam Walton’s grandson, also serves as its Environment Program Committee Chair. Lukas’ $4 billion Builders Version organization directs   into ESG. S2G Ventures, its capital fund, declares that its mission is “investing in a humane and healthy planet.” It has an extensive portfolio of ‘green’ companies including Bluestar Energy Capital, a green energy investment company, Common Energy, a solar power company, Electric Hydrogen, and Carbon America which focuses on carbon capture. Those investments seem likely to do better if Mr. and Mrs. America, or at least the CEOs and financiers who take the media seriously, keep reading about the threat of “climate change”. The AP is taking money from organizations heavily leveraged in green investments to promote the need for green investments. And it fails to disclose the financial interests that its funders have in promoting global warming hysteria. The closest that it gets to addressing the inherent conflict of interest comes when Brian Carovillano, AP’s vice president for grants, concedes that, “this is a mutually beneficial arrangement.” The AP’s benefit is obvious. What’s the benefit to the donors? Instead of answering that question, the AP story simply notes that Brian Carovillano had to “get used to the idea that funders weren’t just being generous; they had their own goals to achieve.” The AP echoes Carovillano’s insistence that the money comes “without strings attached; the funders have no influence on the stories that are done”. Except that the whole point of the grant is for the service to produce stories on the topic that the funders are interested in. Since the AP is not about to report that there are more polar bears than at any time since the 1960s or that climate doomers keep changing the date when everyone will die every few years, the content is predictable. The AP would like to benefit from repeat business from these massive foundations, so it’s going to produce the kinds of stories that will bring more money flowing its way. That’s the way to maintain the “mutually beneficial arrangement” aimed at helping the Associated Press pay the bills while helping its generous donors fulfill their “goals”. In recent years, Democrats and the media have targeted conservative groups like the Heartland Institute claiming that they act as “fronts” for oil companies. The AP promoted documents stolen from the Heartland Institute about its funders and has spent years running hit pieces on Heartland without revealing that the wire service is a paid shill for green special interests. The AP’s arrangement sheds light on the media’s financial agenda in promoting green programs that would destroy the lives and livelihoods of hundreds of millions of Americans. While the media has its biases, these are not wholly organic. The ability of special interests to capture the media at the source by targeting wire services like the AP shows how what we read about the environment is being manipulated by networks of special interests with billions at stake. The next time you see an AP story about “climate change”, you know who’s paying for it. Democrats have proposed an investigation of Heartland and the oil companies. It may be time for an investigation of the AP and the financial interests funding its global warming propaganda.

Backup IP: http://45.89.97.6 This site uses cookies " unreliable,"Australian study treats climate change skepticism as a mental disorder – NaturalNews.com (Article by James Murphy republished from ) The study’s authors — Breanna Fraser, Patrick Nunn, and Rachael Sharman — set out to discover why climate change skeptics think the way they do, beyond what they call “sociodemographic and value factors.” Instead, the   proposed to look at psychological factors involved in climate change skepticism. The study asked 390 Australian participants why they refused to buy the climate change narrative. “This mixed-methods study investigated whether more malleable psychological factors: locus of control; information processing style; and anti-reflexivity, predicted climate change scepticism above and beyond socio-demographic and value factors,” the study’s abstract declares. According to the researchers, climate change skeptics were guilty of using “mental gymnastics” in order to deny what they called “the near-universal agreement among scientists on the reality and impact of climate change.” Near universal? Really? What about the 1,100 scientists — including a Nobel laureate — who recently signed a   proclaiming “there is no climate emergency?” Among those scientists were 134 signatories from Australia, the same nation the participants in the survey were from. The researchers found one very interesting result: Those who actually study an issue instead of blindly relying on government propaganda were actually more likely to be skeptical of so-called climate change. “Contrary to our predictions, people with high analytical abilities were even more likely to be sceptical about this,” stated study authors Nunn and Sharman in a piece for The Conversation. Imagine that — people who take the time and effort to study the issue of climate change have a tendency toward skepticism. Also, in the study’s view, people who value individual liberty are less inclined to buy into the notion of a full-blown climate crisis. “Those with stronger individualistic worldviews — their priority is individual autonomy as opposed to a more collectivist worldview — were more sceptical about humans causing climate change,” the authors stated. Or, put in other words, people who are less inclined toward communism and globalism are also less likely to swallow the climate emergency narrative. Among the study’s other findings: Older people were more likely to be sceptical of the reality of climate change. So, older people, set in their ways and unable to change their minds, are a large part of the reason why so-called climate action is taking so long to begin. Conservatives were more likely to be sceptical of the reality, causes and impacts of climate change. So, conservatives, in the view of the researchers, are simply unable to see the “reality” of climate change. Lower environmental values were strongly linked to all types of scepticism. So, the elderly and the conservatives just care less about the environment, according to the study. In other words, according to the researchers, a certain amount of naivete among the citizenry is useful when selling the climate crisis narrative. The study’s authors correctly point out that climate hysterics themselves may bear some of the blame for skepticism. For instance, the climate change community’s practice of making predictions which are observably false leads to skepticism. The researchers note that skeptics are aware of “predictions not becoming reality [and give] explanations such as ‘seeing climate change alarmists’ predictions being completely false.'” Naturally, this lends credence to skepticism. The authors believe that such doubts have arisen because skeptics have a “basic misunderstanding” of model-based climate predictions. Is that “misunderstanding” due to the fact that such climate models were never meant to be a predictive tool? Sky News’ Andrew Bolt made the point that the study was an attempt to classify climate change skepticism as a mental condition. He   the study in a very tongue-in-cheek way: But I do wonder, I have to confess, why people with high analytical abilities, people who are great at analyzing things, are more skeptical of global warming preachers. I’m just sorry that Sharman didn’t actually analyze that bit because I reckon the answer would be fascinating. And Bolt is correct. While the study doesn’t come right out and say that skeptics of a “climate emergency” have some sort of mental condition, the very existence of the study and its dubious conclusions are meant to plant the seed that, perhaps, people who would drag their feet on destroying the world’s economy and power systems to combat this so-called climate crisis might simply suffer from delusional thinking of some sort. So, despite the study’s own finding that people with “high analytical abilities were even more likely to be sceptical about” climate change, the study’s authors would have us believe such people are a threat to the Earth.

The demand for food is inelastic, meaning that when supply drops, prices increase by a large amount."" The erstwhile MOFB president pointed out that food comprises a much higher portion of living costs for poor families, compared to their well-off counterparts. He cited 2020 figures stating that food expenses consumed 27 percent of the household budget for people in the lowest wage earners category. In contrast, food costs only comprised seven percent of living expenses for those in the highest income category only. According to Hurst, no nation would exactly enact a tax plan that would target low-income consumers at four times the rate that well-off people pay. ""Many governments, [however], are rushing to do exactly that to their nation's food supply. If excess carbon is the problem, surely the solution isn't punishing those around the world who consume the least."" He also criticized the steps that developed nations were taking, arguing that these won't make a change if other nations refuse to do their part. ""Cutting fertilizer use in Canada won't change Brazil's agriculture policy for the same reason that cutting carbon emissions in the U.S. won't stop China's pollution,"" he said. ""Governments' environmental regulations are both costly and not producing the desired results."" Analysts are saying that the environmental policies, especially to address ""climate change,"" only produced damaging results. It has likewise created supply chain disruptions and sent prices of commodities soaring. Hurst took the South Asian nation of Sri Lanka as an example. Under its former President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, the country outlawed the use of commercial fertilizers. The repercussions of this ban, which led to riots, Sri Lanka to avoid the wrath of hungry and angry citizens. Canada, through its Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, imposed a policy to cut down on fertilizer use by 30 percent come 2030. He even sent federal agents to encroach on private lands for soil and water testing in the name of ""nitrate compliance."" Moreover, he was reportedly building an infrastructure to house the Environment and Climate Change Canada's facility. an armory, interrogation rooms, biological labs, media relations offices, ""controlled quiet rooms,"" and intelligence facilities – suiting the agency's role as the Canadian climate police.

The Missouri-based farmer and greenhouse grower said there may be nothing that people can do with the weather, but he encouraged the public to question the government on their actions, especially those that directly hit the lowest income earners. ""We can't improve the weather, at least not in time to ensure better yields.

""The slowest but perhaps the most persistent trend is associated with ,"" the bank's report stated. ""The transition requires an immense reallocation of investments which raises costs due to higher demand for new investment and lack of investment supply into fossil fuel production."" (Related: .) The cost pressures that come from the underinvestment of fossil fuels are exacerbated by the long time required to build sufficient quantities of green energy infrastructure to fill in the supply gaps adequately provided by fossil fuel sources before the implementation of these . ""This shift to relatively higher energy prices will also contribute to challenges for monetary policy to keep inflation on target over the long term,"" wrote the researchers. The Parliamentary Budget Office, in a 2021 report, noted that green energy policies like the carbon tax represented a net cost for most Canadians, and by 2030 would translate to a loss of income equivalent to between CA$1,145 ($861) to $CA2,282 ($1,715) a year per household, depending on the province. Trudeau's government has pledged to reduce carbon emissions by 40 to 45 percent below 2005 levels by 2030, and has committed to . This commitment comes despite Canada being the world's fourth-largest producer of oil. ""Achieving net zero is not going to be easy, that's for sure,"" said Member of Parliament Ryan Turnbull of Trudeau's Liberal Party during a debate in the House of Commons back in June 2022. ""It will require all of us at every level across every industry on behalf of families and members of the general public,"" he added. ""We are going to have to switch our lifestyles and that is going to be painful at times. Our plan is driven by our national price on pollution."" The Royal Bank of Canada, the country's largest private bank, noted that getting to the net-zero target will cost Canadian taxpayers CA$2 trillion ($1.503 trillion) over three decades. Ian Lee, a professor at  Carleton University's  Sprott School of Business, noted that it will likely cost even more than that due to the sheer prevalence of natural gas use as heating and as an industrial fuel in Canada. Over half of Canadian homes – 54 percent – are heated with fossil fuels, mostly natural gas. Around 40 percent use electric heat, but it should be noted that fossil fuels like coal and natural gas generate 18 percent of Canada's electricity. ""We're talking about rebuilding the entire energy-based economy, from oil and gas to electric, and so it's going to be on a scale never before experienced,"" said Lee.

There could be some other deceptions involved that are not yet clear in terms of what that transition into a new world actually looks like. But one thing is for sure: the old system has to burn to the ground in order to make way for the new system.

Set to go into effect in 2024, Haarlem's meat advertising ban was concocted by GroenLinks, a ""green"" political party in The Netherlands. Councilor Ziggy Klazes is credited with putting it together, and here is what he told the Dutch newspaper Trouw about it: ""Meat is very harmful to the environment. We cannot tell people that there is a climate crisis and encourage them to buy products that are part of it."" One wonders who the ""we"" is, in this context. Last we checked, private companies that pay to advertise their own meat-based foods in public have nothing to do with any type of ""we,"" meaning the government, encouraging people to eat meat. Klazes makes it sound as though the freedom to advertise meat in public somehow constitutes an official government endorsement of meat. This same false and deceptive framing is often used by prohibitionists, by the way, to justify restricting people's freedoms with ""controlled substances."" We are told that advertisements for ""sustainably produced"" meat could still be allowed in Haarlem after 2024, though the city government there has yet to make a decision about the matter. Citing the United Nations, Groenlinks says meat is generating more than 14 percent of all manmade ""greenhouse gases"" in the world, including methane, aka cow flatulence. Not everyone in Haarlem is happy about the decision, perhaps most notably the meat industry. A spokesman from the Central Organization for the Meat Sector, which represents the meat industry, said this: ""The authorities are going too far in telling people what's best for them."" The Belang van Nederland (Interest of the Netherlands) (BVNL) party added that the ban represents an ""unacceptable violation of entrepreneurial freedom,"" adding that it ""would be fatal for pig farmers."" ""Banning commercials from politically born motives is almost dictatorial,"" chimed in Haarlem BVNL councilor Joey Rademaker about the matter. Herman Bröring, a law professor at the University of Groningen , also said that prohibition of meat advertising could be a transgression of freedom of expression, and that many lawsuits are likely to be filed against the city of Haarlem for allowing this. The latest data shows that 95 percent of the Dutch population eats meat, showing how out of touch GroenLinks and the various politicians and political parties are that support its agenda. It should be noted that this is that The Netherlands has banned advertising for climate purposes. Both Amsterdam and The Hague have reportedly banned ads for aviation and the fossil fuel sectors, which supposedly, like meat, are warming the planet and scare the climate alarmists. Be aware that Europe is often a testing ground for tyranny that later gets exported to the United States. If such lunacy in Haarlem, Amsterdam, and The Hague goes unchallenged, you can be sure it will eventually spread abroad, including to America. ""Americans should be watching events taking place in the Old Continent with great interest,"" writes Jose Nino for Big League Politics . ""Europe is a testing ground for 'war on meat' and the broader Great Reset agenda."" ""Such experiences will give us an idea what to expect from the globalist ruling class once they start hatching ideas in the U.S."" The latest news about the green insanity sweeping the world can be found at .

In an April 20 piece published by the Center for Research on Globalization, he pointed out that the globalist World Economic Forum (WEF) is forcing people to swap real meat for mealworms. Meanwhile, billionaire technocrat Bill Gates to promote his synthetic Beyond Meat burger. ""One might ask next: How will [Gates] 'force the shift' exactly when the peasants refuse to buy his Beyond Meat burger? He will weaponize the regulatory levers of the state to institute a draconian meat tax, which his marketing people have dubbed a 'green premium' under the auspices of protecting the environment."" According to Bartee, the elites like Gates and WEF Executive Director Klaus Schwab saturate the MSM with pro-vegan propaganda that vilifies meat consumption. Bartee cited Insider to back up his point. The piece featured author and researcher Dan Buettner interviewing a surgeon of the Seventh-Day Adventist denomination, who recommended veganism. The surgeon also described his experiences operating on patients consuming a plant-based diet compared to those who allegedly ate meat. ""The doctor noted that [the vegan patients'] arteries were healthy and pliable,"" Insider wrote. ""In contrast, he observed that the arteries of meat-eaters were so clogged with plaque from cholesterol build-up."" ""That tactile description was enough to make me forget meat forever,"" disclosed the Minnesota-born Buettner. Bartee pointed out that the surgeon did not back up his claims regarding the arteries of meat-eaters with actual clinical data. The surgeon just vaguely cited the subjective feel of patients arteries while he performs surgery on them, describing those from meat-eaters as ""crunchy."" Of course, it's also important to note that Seventh-Day Adventist considers eating pork a sin. The elites' drive to promote veganism in the name of ""fighting climate change"" is not limited to humans, as even animals are accused of being part of the problem. A network known for fake news has even pointed out that in the climate crisis. It alleged that pets' ""meat-heavy diet"" is ""the biggest contributor to their carbon paw prints."" Furthermore, the fake news network denounced the production of pet food for emitting huge amounts of planet-warming gases. Bartee sarcastically lauded climate experts for understanding that ""dogs and cats love eating asparagus,"" before giving readers a reality check. He remarked: The media is littered with accounts of vegan evangelists murdering their cats with vegan diets, weakening their little heart muscles until they give out. Farm animals are being given methane suppressants to allegedly lower their methane emissions. Worse, some entities connected to the elite appear to accelerate the end of farm animals by injecting them with mRNA vaccines. (Related:  .)

You may also have heard that those who don’t buy into the climate-apocalypse mantra are “science deniers.” The truth is that a whole lot more than 3% of scientists are sceptical of the party line on climate. A whole lot more. The many scientists, engineers and energy experts that comprise the CO2 Coalition are often asked something along the lines of: “So you believe in climate change, then?” Our answer? “Yes, of course we do: it has been happening for hundreds of millions of years.” It is important to ask the right questions. The question is not, “Is climate change happening?” The real question of serious importance is, “Is climate change now driven primarily by human actions? That question should be followed up by “is our changing climate beneficial or harmful to ecosystems and humanity?” There are some scientific truths that are quantifiable and easily proven, and with which, I am confident, at least 97% of scientists agree. Here are two: What is impossible to quantify is the actual percentage of warming that is attributable to increased anthropogenic (human-caused) CO 2 . There is no scientific evidence or method that can determine how much of the warming we’ve had since 1900 that was directly caused by us. We know that temperature has varied greatly over the millennia. We also know that for virtually all of that time, global warming and cooling were driven entirely by natural forces, which did not cease to operate at the beginning of the 20th century. The claim that most modern warming is attributable to human activities is scientifically insupportable. The truth is that we do not know. We need to be able to separate what we  do  know from that which is only conjecture. Hint: You can’t spell consensus without “con.” If, indeed, 97% of all scientists truly believed that human activities were causing the moderate warming that we have seen in the last 150 years, it would be reasonable for one to consider this when determining what to believe. One would be wrong, however. Science, unlike religion, is not a belief system. Scientists, just like anyone else, will say that they believe things – whether they believe them or not – for social convenience, political expediency or financial profit. For this and other good reasons, science is not founded upon the beliefs of scientists. It is a disciplined method of inquiry, by which scientists apply pre-existing theory to observation and measurement, so as to develop or to reject a theory, so that they can unravel as clearly and as certainly as possible the distinction between what the Greek philosopher Anaximander called “that which is and that which is not.” Abu Ali ibn al-Haytham, the natural philosopher of 11th-century Iraq who founded the scientific method in the East, once wrote: The seeker after truth [his beautiful description of the scientist] does not place his faith in any mere consensus, however venerable or widespread. Instead, he subjects what he has learned of it to inquiry, inspection and investigation. The road to the truth is long and hard, but that is the road we must follow. The long and hard road to scientific truth cannot be followed by the trivial expedient of a mere head-count among those who make their livings from government funding. Therefore, the mere fact that climate activists find themselves so often appealing to an imagined and (as we shall see) imaginary “consensus” is a red flag. They are far less sure of the supposed scientific truths to which they cling than they would like us to believe. “Consensus,” here, is a crutch for lame science. What, then, is the origin of the “97% consensus” notion? Is it backed up with research and data? The earliest attempt to document a “consensus” on climate change was a   cited by Al Gore in his allegedly non-fiction book, ‘ An Inconvenient Truth ’- Gore attended natural science class at Harvard, but got a D grade for it. The author of the cited paper, Naomi Oreskes, asserted that 75% of nearly 1,000 papers she had reviewed on the question of climate change agreed with the “consensus” proposition favoured by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (“IPCC”): “Most of the observed warming over the last 50 years is likely to have been due to the increase in greenhouse gas concentrations.” None, she maintained, dissented from this line of reasoning. The Oreskes paper came to the attention of Klaus-Martin Schulte, an eminent London surgeon, who had become concerned with the adverse health effects of his patients from their belief in apocalyptic global warming. Professor Schulte decided to   However, he found that only 45% of several hundred papers endorsed the “consensus” position. He concluded: “There appears to be little basis in the peer-reviewed scientific literature for the degree of alarm on the issue of climate change which is being expressed in the media and by politicians, now carried over into the medical world and experienced by patients.” The primary paper that is often trotted out in support of the notion of “97% consensus” was written by John Cook and his merry band of climate extremists. Published in 2013, it is the most  on the subject of climate consensus and has been downloaded more than 1.3 million times. Cook runs a climate website that is a smorgasbord of climate fear rhetoric, specialising in attacks – often personal and spiteful in tone – on all who have proven effective in leading others to stray from the dogma of impending climate doom. The project was self-described as “a ‘citizen science’ project by volunteers contributing to the website.” The team consisted of 12 climate activists who did not leave their climate prejudices at home. These volunteers, many of whom had no training in the sciences, said they had “reviewed” abstracts from 11,944 peer-reviewed papers related to climate change or global warming, published over the 21 years 1991 – 2011, to assess the extent to which they supported the “consensus view” on climate change. As Cook’s paper said: We analysed a large sample of the scientific literature on global CC [climate change], published over a 21-year period, in order to determine the level of scientific consensus that human activity is very likely causing most of the current GW (anthropogenic global warming, or AGW). The paper concluded: Among abstracts that expressed a position on AGW [anthropogenic global warming], 97.1% endorsed the scientific consensus. … Among papers expressing a position on AGW, an overwhelming percentage (97.2% based on self-ratings, 97.1% based on abstract ratings) endorses the scientific consensus on AGW. The paper asserted – falsely, as it turned out – that 97% of the papers the reviewers examined had explicitly endorsed the opinion that humans are causing the majority of the warming of the last 150 years. When one looks at the data, one finds that 7,930 of the papers took no position at all on the subject and were arbitrarily excluded from the count on this ground. If we simply add back all of the papers reviewed, the 97% claimed by Cook and his co-authors falls to 32.6%. A closer look at the paper reveals that the so-called “97%” included three categories of endorsement of human-caused climate change (Figure 1). Only the first category amounted to an explicit statement that humans are the primary cause of recent warming. The second and third categories would include most sceptics of catastrophic anthropogenic warming, including the scientists of the  2 , who accept that increasing CO 2  is probably causing some, probably modest, amount of warming; an amount that is likely rendered insignificant by natural causes of warmer weather. Only by casting a wide net could Cook conclude that there is any type of “consensus.” Figure 1 – Categories of endorsement – Cook 2013 Agnotology is defined as “the study of how ignorance arises via circulation of misinformation calculated to mislead.” This is how   (2015) describe the Cook paper and similar attempts falsely to promote the notion of broad scientific consensus surrounding the subject of a looming, man-made, climate apocalypse. They reviewed the actual papers used by Cook and found that   Remarkably, they found that Cook and his assistants had themselves marked only 64 papers – or 0.5% of the 11,944 they said they had reviewed – as explicitly stating that recent warming was mostly man-made (Figure 2). Yet they stated, both in the paper itself and subsequently, that they had found a “97% consensus” explicitly stating that recent warming was mostly man-made. Figure 2 “Agnotology has the strong potential for misuse whereby a ‘manufactured’ consensus view can be used to stifle discussion, debate, and critical thinking.”  —   It appears that Cook and his co-authors manipulated the data to present an altogether untrue narrative of overwhelming support for catastrophic human-caused warming. Note that the official “consensus” position – supported though it was by just 0.3% of the 11,944 papers reviewed – says nothing more than recent warming was mostly man-made. Even if that were the case – and the overwhelming majority of scientists take no view on that question, for it is beyond our present knowledge to answer – it would not indicate that global warming is dangerous. “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.”  – Joseph Goebbels From the information we have just reviewed, the percentage of scientists who agree with the notion of man-made catastrophic global warming is significantly less than advertised. Several unbiased attempts have been made to assess what the actual number might be. One of the largest petitions concerning climate change was the   signed by more than 31,000 American scientists, including 9,029 holding PhDs, disputing the notion of anthropogenic climate alarmism (Figure 3). Figure 3 – Edward Teller’s signature at  More recently, in 2016,   more than 4,000 members of the American Meteorological Society and found that 33% believed that climate change was not occurring, was at most half man-made, was mostly natural, or they did not know. Significantly, only 18% believed that a large amount – or all – of additional climate change could be averted. Science does not advance through consensus, and the claim of consensus has no place in any rational scientific debate. We ask: What do the data tell us? What does it mean? Can we reproduce the results?  “Cook’s 97% nonsensus [sic] paper shows that the climate community still has a long way to go in weeding out bad research and bad behaviour. If you want to believe that climate researchers are incompetent, biased and secretive, Cook’s paper is an excellent case in point.”  — Professor Richard Tol “Let’s be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world. In science consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results. The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus. There is no such thing as consensus science. If it’s consensus, it isn’t science. If it’s science, it isn’t consensus. Period.”  —  Michael Crichton  is a geologist, bestselling author of ‘ Inconvenient Facts ’, and an Expert Reviewer for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (AR6).  He   above on 28 October 2021.

""Their meat-heavy diet is the biggest contributor to their carbon paw prints, which require an abundance of energy, land and water to produce,"" it said. ""The production of pet food emits huge amounts of planet-warming gases."" The network called for an assessment of the food served to pets during their meal times. Instead of the real thing, it exhorted Americans to feed their dogs with insect-based meals or lab-grown meat. ""Insect-based pet foods can be nutritionally complete, and are starting to come onto the market around the world, said Angela Frimberger, a veterinarian with the Australian advocacy group Vets for Climate Action. ""They can also be a solution for some pets that have food allergies to traditional protein sources."" The fake news purveyor also advised Americans to adopt smaller animals, arguing that these have a smaller carbon footprint compared to canines and felines. ""A chihuahua's carbon pawprint will be much smaller than [that of] a Saint Bernard, for example,"" it stated. University of California, Los Angeles professor Gregory Okin told CNN : ""Small rodents and birds are great options. Snakes, turtles and reptiles can have a really low impact, too, for those that are into it."" The fake news media outlet's advice was widely mocked on social media, with several users taking to Twitter to put in their two cents on it. One user pointed out the irony of the advice, saying that the fake news channel's anchor Anderson Cooper ""will still fly around on his private jet, but you want us to get rid of Fido to stop climate change."" NewsPunch 's Baxter Dmitry pointed out that  CNN  promoting insect consumption to address ""climate change"" lined up with the plans of its globalist masters. , he explained that ""most humans have a natural aversion when it comes to insects."" He continued: ""The sight of some types of bugs, like cockroaches, for instance, provokes an instant feeling of disgust. This is a near-universal trait in humans, [and] it is believed to be instinctual."" ""Our natural inclination to recoil when a bug is anywhere near us could be our brains warning us that these things could bite, sting, infect or even poison us to death. Also, considering the fact that insects feed on filth, decay, and excrement, the mere sight of them is enough for our brains to send an alarm signal telling us that something is wrong."" Dmitry, however, pointed out that the MSM is pivoting toward the consumption of bugs. Some examples he mentioned include celebrities such as Nicole Kidman eating insects on camera and journalists writing about the eventuality of people eating insects. ""The elites' carefully laid plan is playing out in front of our eyes, and it all leads us towards a decreased supply of meat and an increased supply of insects and synthetic foods,"" he wrote. ""They want us to eat cockroaches while smiling, owning nothing, and pretending to be happy."" (Related: ) Thus, it is not surprising that  CNN – about former President Donald Trump – will endorse insect consumption to push the lie that is climate change.

(Related:  .) Of course, the Joe Biden administration denied this, with the president saying Ian ""ends discussion"" about man-made climate change. ""There's a lot going on, and I think the one thing this has finally ended is a discussion about whether or not there's climate change, and [that] we should do something about it,"" Biden said. But experts and those who actually suffered the wrath of these storms have something else to say. Classified as Category 5 hurricane, Noru gained strength in just six hours before hitting Polillo Island in the Philippines. Residents of the island are accustomed to severe weather, but even they were stunned by how quickly Noru intensified. Hurricanes typically form within one to two days. ""We're used to typhoons because we're located where storms usually land,"" said entrepreneur Armiel Azas Azul, who owns a bistro on the island. ""But everything is very unpredictable, and Noru came very fast."" The U.S. witnessed a similar phenomenon when Ian hit Florida. Before the hurricane hit the southwestern coast of the Sunshine State, it went through two separate bursts of so-called ""rapid intensification."" This process, which involves a cyclone's top wind speed rising by 35 miles per hour (mph) in just one day, turned Ian into a Category 4 hurricane in just 36 hours. By the time it made landfall, it carried winds of 155 mph – almost a Category 5 classification. Health Ranger Mike Adams also noted that the movement of Ian is ""not natural looking"" as it entered the southwestern part of Florida, stopped, turned east and headed north. Geoengineering expert Dane Wigington supported Adams' observation and they surmised that to suit the federal government's needs. Wigington, the executive producer of the climate engineering documentary film ""The Dimming,"" noted that ""storms can be easily manipulated these days."" According to Wigington, frequency transmissions can be used to repel the storm in different directions – and that is how it is steered or maneuvered. ""In the case of Hurricane Ian, it was just a drifting mass of unorganized convection and that makes the storm much easier for them to steer until it gets closer to the land-based transmitters. So, until it got south of Cuba, it basically was completely unorganized,"" said Wigington. ""And then with ionosphere heaters, they can affect the convection that allows the storm to start forming and strengthening, which it did right before it hit Cuba as it migrated northward by the southern end of Florida."" Discussions about weather manipulation cropped up again after educator Peggy Hall stumbled upon old U.S. documents revealing that ""the government has admitted to for its own benefit."" The major players then were the Navy, the Air Force and General Electric, where Hall unearthed the damning details in a paper entitled ""History of Project Cirrus from 1947 to 1952,"" which is a study of how cloud particles and cloud modifications can affect hurricanes. According to Hall, the intention of ""hurricane and forest fire manipulation is to instill fear, uncertainty and inflict hardship on certain population centers, with the purpose of gaining control over people by using the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and federal funding."" The American people deserve a clearer, more detailed explanation as Ian was one of the most destructive hurricanes ever to batter Florida with catastrophic winds gusting up to 251 km/h, claiming over a hundred lives and billions of dollars in damage to crops and properties. Financial experts believe it would take years before the state fully recovers from the destruction and devastation brought about by Ian. In fact, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio is asking  from the national government to rouse the state economy back to life. Of course, the old practice of seeding clouds with silver and lead iodide to induce rain is likely to have an effect on hurricanes, too. The weather modification during the Vietnam War that started in 1955 as a ""strategy to muddy the supply roads on the Ho Chi Minh trail by causing it to rain with cloud seeding."" The proponents then were the late Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and the Central Intelligence Agency . If the Biden administration is really into manipulating hurricanes and wildfires, the agenda must be to highlight the worsening effects of ""climate change"" and offer solutions that would work in its favor like imposing carbon emission taxes and possible climate lockdowns.

What used to be defined as a period of five consecutive days with highs over 30 degrees Celsius has been changed to a period of three consecutive days with a high of 28 degrees. It's not clear when the DWD changed its definition, but the World Meteorological Organization defines a heatwave as five or more consecutive days of prolonged heat with a daily maximum temperature higher than the average maximum temperature by five degrees or more. (Related:  .) This does not align with the DWD's definition, which is a regular warm summer weekend for most people and barely hot enough to swim in the daytime. Meanwhile, the German cabinet approved a draft bill to install more water fountains in cities and municipalities. And if the law passes, local authorities will be obliged to as part of their so-called ""Daseinsvorsorge,"" which is a guaranteed basic public services framework. Environment Minister Steffi Lemke said if municipalities take action, they will be making an important contribution to the health and heat protection of citizens, adding that the recent dry and hot summers in Germany have shown that persistent heatwaves are no longer a rare event. The draft law states that water fountains must be installed where it is technically feasible and appropriate. There are around 1,300 water fountains across Germany, as per the Federal Ministry for the Environment . The government plans to install 1,000 more, although there are no specific mandates on their exact number or location. ""We have excellent quality tap water in Germany and it's a pity that people buy so much bottled water and then throw the bottles away, so there's a lot of waste,"" said Julian Fischer of the nongovernmental environmental group, A Tip: Tap. ""It would be great for everybody to have better access to clean tap water, but particularly for people with less money or, for example, for situations like families going to a playground needing to refill their water bottles. It should be part of civic infrastructure to have water fountains always nearby,"" Fischer added. Berlin alone currently has 201 public drinking fountains, with two new ones set to open in Mauerpark, which is a heavily frequented park by the public, and at Schlachtensee, a popular bathing spot. Jochen Rabe, managing director of the nonprofit Kompetenzzentrum Wasser Berlin, said: ""When it's really, really hot in a heatwave, you should have a fountain or at least access to free water within 10 minutes max, particularly with the elderly and vulnerable, who can become dehydrated quite quickly.""

The bolt struck the ground near a tree just yards away from the fence surrounding the White House and offices across from the square. This area is often crowded with tourists, especially during the summer months. All four victims sustained critical, life-threatening injuries and were immediately taken to area hospitals. Two of them died soon after the incident, and the next day the third of the four victims passed away.

""Our hearts are with the families who lost loved ones, and we are praying for those still fighting for their lives."" The first two victims who died were James Mueller, 76, and his wife Donna, 75, from Janesville, Wisconsin. They took a trip to the capital . The third victim was identified as 29-year-old Brooks Lambertson, the vice president of City National Bank in Los Angeles. ""Brooks was an incredible young man who will be remembered for his generosity, kindness and unwavering positivity,"" said the bank in a statement. ""His sudden loss is devastating for all who knew him, and his family, friends and colleagues appreciate the thoughts and prayers that have poured in from around the country."" Gloria Dickie, who wrote the article for  Reuters , claimed that climate change is increasing the likelihood of fatal lightning strikes in the United States. Dickie pointed out that for lightning to strike, heat and moisture are needed, which is why most lightning strikes occur during the summer, with the subtropical state of Florida receiving the most lightning strikes each year. (Related: .) ""The hot, humid conditions in Washington, D.C. on Thursday were primed for electricity,"" she wrote. ""Air temperatures topped out at 94 degrees Fahrenheit – or 5 F higher than the 30-year normal maximum temperature for Aug. 4, according to the National Weather Service."" ""More heat can draw more moisture into the atmosphere, while also encouraging rapid updraft – two key factors for charged particles, which lead to lightning,"" she added. She further claimed that for each one degree Celsius (1.8 F) of global warming, the number of lightning strikes will increase by 12 percent. What  Reuters  and Dickie failed to take into consideration is the fact that the number of fatal lightning strikes in the United States has been declining for the past century. Chris Enloe, writing for the  Blaze , pointed out that Dickie to support her claim regarding lightning strikes and climate change. ""Scientists believe that lightning has existed for billions of years at least,"" he wrote. ""One thus wonders how if it has always existed on Earth, or how the frequency of lightning can be evidence of climate change when lightning has not been tracked for most of Earth's history."" Furthermore, Dickie herself pointed out that being hit by lightning is still a very extremely rare occurrence. According to the  Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , roughly 40 million lightning bolts touch down in the United States every year. The odds of being struck by one are less than one in a million. Dying from getting struck by lightning is even rarer. Between 2006 and 2021, only about 10 percent of those struck by lightning died.

However, after the initial laughter subsided, an expert analysis of NASA's GISS Model E, comprising approximately 441,668 lines of FORTRAN code from around 1983, emerged. Criticisms have surfaced regarding features such as water that doesn't freeze and ""negative"" cloud cover, leading some to question the claim that the model is truly ""physics-based."" This analogy draws parallels to how Hollywood producers describe a movie as being ""based on a true story,"" . Willis Eschenbach, a seasoned computer programmer, has conducted a comprehensive analysis published by Net Zero Watch (NZW) titled ""Climate Models and Climate Muddles."" NZW's Andrew Montford discussed Eschenbach's paper Daily Sceptic , highlighting the central role of climate models in the global warming concern and their association with the collective Net Zero project's weather-related warnings. Montford posed a critical question: What if these climate models were fundamentally flawed? Worrisomely, Eschenbach's research reveals that ""this is indeed the case,"" indicating significant issues with the accuracy and reliability of these models. Eschenbach contends that the existing set of computer climate models is woefully inadequate for making informed public policy decisions. He argues that one only needs to examine the extensive track record of inaccurate, unsuccessful, and flawed predictions these models have generated to verify this claim. Eschenbach advises against paying undue attention to these models. “Their main use is to add false legitimacy to the unrealistic fears of the programmer,"" he said, pointing out that if a model is developed based on the assumption that carbon dioxide regulates temperature, it is not surprising that the outcomes will align accordingly. The outlet adds: According to Eschenbach, climate models have a hard time replicating the amazing stability of the climate system. They are ‘iterative’ models, meaning the output of one timestep is used as the input for the next. As a result any errors are carried over, making it easy for models to spiral the Earth into fire and snowballs. NASA gets around polar water refusing to freeze and ‘negative’ amounts of cloud forming (what do minus-two clouds look like?) during model runs by replacing bad values with corresponding maximum or minimum values. “Science at its finest,” comments Eschenbach. He notes that he is not picking on just NASA. The same issues, to a greater or lesser extent, exist within all complex iterative models. “I’m simply pointing out that these are not ‘physics-based’ – they are propped up and fenced in to keep them from crashing,” he observes. Climate models and predictions ""started to go haywire 25 years ago, just as started to gain political traction,"" the outlet notes. Gavin Schmidt, a former 'fact checker' for the Daily Sceptic , mentioned in his Spectator article that the majority of outcomes rely on the general trend rather than the specific intricacies of any particular model. Interestingly, the aforementioned data appears to support Eschenbach's perspective that computer models merely serve to “make visible and glorify the understandings and, more importantly, the misunderstandings of the programmers,"" he noted. The argument against relying on computer models to support an extreme global de-industrialization campaign is strengthening with each passing day. The most recent example of this unsubstantiated claim, propagated by various media outlets including the BBC , is the assertion that the world's hottest day temperature record was broken three times in the past week. Climate journalist Paul Homewood of global temperatures surging by 0.22°C in a mere three days is physically implausible. The entire is built upon computer modeling, which may not come as a surprise to those who have familiarized themselves with Eschenbach's meticulous research.

Observers are wondering if the Microsoft founder is getting disoriented as he previously advised America and other rich nations to move to "" ."" ""You can get used to the taste difference and the claim is they're going to make it taste even better over time,"" he told MIT Technology Review  in February last year. He was referring to plant-based meat. ""Eventually, that green premium is modest enough that you can sort of change the people or use regulation to totally shift the demand."" (Related:  .) Gates has been urging the public to move toward more plant-based eating for years now. He said doing so would reduce, if not eliminate, the climate crisis. But a 2017 analysis of the Global Food Justice Alliance (GFJA) showed that taking out all livestock from the U.S. would only tone down greenhouse gas emissions by 2.6 percent. Also, another examination of studies found that meat substitutes have higher carbon footprints than beef from cattle. It is also surprising for Gates to make his recent declaration as he has invested in companies that manufacture real food substitutes such as Beyond Meat, Hampton Creek Foods and Nature's Fynd. He also funded a start-up called Turntide, which builds energy-efficient electric motors, as well as the lithium start-up Mangrove Lithium. He is also the in America, after having quietly purchased about 270,000 acres of farmland in the past 10 years in 18 states, including thousands of acres in Nebraska, Arizona, Arkansas and Louisiana. Critics have been wondering what he has been doing with this vast land area. In the same podcast episode, Gates mentioned his involvement in pushing for the Inflation Reduction Act, which allocated almost $370 billion to cut carbon emissions. ""I am getting governments involved and this latest bill I was personally involved in a lot of what got written into it and working with key senators in the last month to get it passed,"" he stated. Gates, the fifth-richest person with an estimated net worth of $104.6 billion, said America is not innovating enough to curb climate change. He stressed that ""without innovation, you will never ."" The Microsoft co-founder also noted that even if the world's richest people were told to live a more sustainable lifestyle, it would do little as the world's richest countries only account for one-third of worldwide emissions. Elon Musk, the world's richest man with a net worth of $232 billion, recently feuded with Gates over funding for climate change technologies. In a leaked text message exchange between them, which Musk said is legitimate, Gates seems to confirm that he's . ""Sorry, but I cannot take your philanthropy on climate change seriously when you have a massive short position against Tesla, the company doing the most to solve climate change,"" the Tesla CEO posted on Twitter. Gates hit back at Musk saying that he gives ""a lot more money to climate change than Elon Musk or anyone else"" and that shorting Tesla stock doesn't hinder Musk's capabilities in any way. Things first became tense between Gates and Musk in 2020 when they were both involved in fighting the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19). Musk strongly , promoted the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine as a treatment, said that children are immune to the virus and questioned COVID-19 deaths data. These elicited a negative reaction from Gates. ""Elon's positioning is to maintain a high level of outrageous comments.

Musk jokingly posted tweets saying ""Billy G is not my lover"" and ""The rumor that Bill Gates & I are lovers is completely untrue.""

""That doesn't solve the reliability problem,"" Gates said in the video referring to the renewable energy they were discussing. ""Whatever came up with this term 'clean energy,' I think it screwed up people's minds because they don't understand."" Now analysts are pointing to the fact that Gates has seemed to contradict the same statement with his commitment to to less than 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels while ensuring that the energy of the future – clean and green resources – is affordable, secure and inclusive. Gates even blamed the cows for producing methane in the animal's digestive system. It is just questionable to others that he is capitalizing on this as he sells the idea of feeding the world his lab-made ""synthetic and fake"" meat as an alternative to real beef products and as a solution to climate change. National Cattlemen's Beef Association CEO Colin Woodall said Gates chose to focus on beef production because, in truth, he is in the same fake meat companies he is promoting. ""So, it's not surprising he continues to push an agenda that would replace real beef with protein alternatives in 'rich countries.' He has even gone so far as to claim that perhaps a government mandate is the best way to get consumers to eat their dose of fake meat,"" Woodall said. NewsPunch 's Baxter Dmitry also commented in an article that there is of course a clear financial motive to Gates' plan in getting people to consume his , just as there had been with his Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) ""investments."" ""This is the man who admitted he ordered President [Donald] Trump not to investigate the possible side-effects of the new COVID vaccinations,"" Dmitry said, noting that Gates has a history of being suspiciously one step ahead of major world disasters and capitalizing on them when they arrive. The billionaire has reportedly been buying up vast farmlands all over the United States. Last year, he became the biggest private farmland owner, with some 270,000 acres across dozens of states, according to last year's edition of the , an annual survey of the nation's largest landowners. (Related: .) Incidentally, there have been reports that farmers are incentivized to not farm, there have been various attacks on the food supply and food processing plants are being burned down. The Gates-funded Lab Meat and Lab Dairy lobby are as more and more tycoons hailing from Silicon Valley step up to back the effort. They are wiping out whole foods, along with the family farms and ranches that produce true and organic food. Natural Health 365 warned the public that they may have been consuming unregulated and unlabeled genetically modified food (GMO) for years and are not aware. The health and wellness website included cream cheese, ice cream and snack bars to often contain GMO additives. These foods have no regulations regarding their GMO status because they fall outside the purview of the agencies that should be regulating our food. ""Companies are using vague or misleading terms and people generally don't understand that at least some of the ingredients in that list are GMO. Some common terms include 'fermentation technology' and 'synthetic biology,'"" the article noted. Lab meats and dairy are also being bioengineered and marketed to the public while pasturing of animals, holistic grazing, and organic farming are becoming increasingly vilified.

According to the country's Department of Agriculture, every 10,000 cows that are killed means a reduction of 45,000 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. CO2 is a necessary component of plant and other life, of course. But to globalists, it is an evil toxin much like nitrogen fertilizer, which the Dutch government has The Irish dairy Food Vision Dairy Group is calling on the government of that country to compensate farmers for every cow they kill. They want €5000 (about $5,107) per head, reports indicate. In exchange for ""directly reduc[ing] agricultural activity,"" Food Vision Dairy Group wants large cash infusions – because apparently we are all going to be eating money once the food supply is banished in the name of ""saving the planet,"" since money will be the only thing left to consume. According to The Scottish Farmer , other proposed measures include a trading mechanism for emissions on farms, much like corporate carbon credits that can be bought and sold on their own marketplace, of sorts. There is also a push to reduce nitrogen inputs by up to 20 percent on dairy farms, which would reduce profits while squeezing the food supply even more than current levels. ""Further methane inhibiters for dairy cows are planned by 2030 with an estimated cost of between €75 to €100 per dairy cow,"" the news outlet added, suggesting that the future will involve muzzling cattle and putting capture devices around their anuses to stop methane (flatulence) from entering the atmosphere. Last fall, The Guardian that in order to reach its government-imposed climate targets, Ireland will need to cull upwards of 1.3 million head of cattle. That is a lot of beef and dairy that will essentially be flushed down the toilet, leaving less food for people to consume and much higher prices for what remains. You will eat nothing and be happy , are probably the sentiments of World Economic Forum (WEF) psychopath Klaus Schwab. Truth be told, cows and other animals are good for the planet, especially when they are allowed to roam freely on pastures, of which there are many throughout Ireland. Removing them from the food chain as the government is demanding will destroy not only the country's economy and food supply but many of its natural ecosystems as well. The manure that cows drop fertilizes soil, helping plants to grow and thrive. Without cattle, pastures will become overgrown, not to mention the fact that they will become wild and unusable for agricultural purposes.

Because of their shortness, small-heighted people are ""best suited for long-term survival"" in a world that is rapidly collapsing, in Altman's view.

The conference will continue for nearly two weeks and will feature , including representatives from almost every country in the world. The UN chose to host the conference in Egypt because of the claim that Africa is one of the world's regions that is most vulnerable to so-called climate change. A report by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change even blamed the fact that nearly 17 million people in the continent – particularly in Ethiopia and Somalia – are facing acute food insecurity due to climate change. This year's summit will focus on three main issues: Reducing emissions, securing technical support for developing countries and helping countries most vulnerable to climate change prepare for and deal with its effects.

""They don't want to allow the right to protest or freedom of assembly, but they want to seem as though they are. It's Sisi's vision of a protest – you go to a place and register and protest for an hour where no one can see you, and then they have you on camera where the authorities can see if you say something they don't like.""

(Related: Mississippi River barges are having a transporting food due to drought-induced water level drops.) ""We're still trying to figure it out, but certainly there's very clear signs of the role of climate change in the collapse,"" alleges Michael Litzow, a shellfish assessment program manager at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which conducts an annual survey of snow crab numbers. Over in Anchorage, Elizabeth Earl republished a story sourced from the Alaska Journal of Commerce also claiming that climate change is responsible for this massive decline in snow crab population numbers. ""There's no complete consensus about why the stock crashed in the first place,"" the article states. ""Increasingly, however, the models seem to indicate that it's due to temperature increases linked to climate change."" Once again, the experts are relying on computer models, which are hypothetical, rather than actual data to make this claim. There is zero evidence to suggest that global warming or climate change are in any way responsible for this massive loss of snow crabs. Most of the computer models being used to make this claim are inherently flawed, it turns out. They overestimate recorded temperatures and create a fictitious climate scenario that does not actually match reality. Multiple factors, including predation, overfishing, and naturally warming waters, are all contributing to snow crab losses – not bovine flatulence and gas-powered vehicles like leftists are claiming. Back in 2017 when it started to become more noticeable that snow crab populations were in decline, The New York Times blamed overfishing. At the time, it was noted that upwards of 90 percent of the world's fisheries face collapse due to gross exploitation. It was the United Nations (UN) Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) that made this assessment, by the way – not right-wingers pushing ""climate denialism"" like many greenies often claim. Experts warned that Russian king crab fishermen in the west Bering Sea were contributing to snow crab declines, much like how Mexican ships poaching red snapper off the coast of Florida threaten the existence of that particular form of sea life. Humans are damaging ocean animals, in other words, but not because they drive cars, heat their homes, and eat meat. Greed and total disregard for conservation are driving losses of sea crabs and other creatures, many of which are moving in the direction of extinction if something does not change very soon. The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) agrees that ""illegal fishing"" is eliminating far too many snow crabs from the ocean. A WWF study found that crab populations in the Russian Far East are at risk of collapse due to overharvest from illegal fishing. Hilariously, Earl was one such journalist who agreed, at least at that time, that overfishing is the primary culprit in the decline of snow crabs around Alaska. Now, though, she has shifted her view to the global warming narrative. ""While so-called experts that have the ear of low-information journalists blame warmer water on climate change, that isn't true,"" reports Anthony Watts. ""Rather, an extended La Nina event has increased temperatures in the seas inhabited by snow crabs."" The latest news about the destruction of the food supply and supply chain can be found at .

A lot angrier. Hateful comments spike on social media when temperatures rise above 30 degrees Celsius (86 Fahrenheit), researchers at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research have found."" “It’s an indicator of how well people can adapt to high temperatures,” claimed Annika Stechemesser, lead author of the study   earlier this month. “If temperatures go too hot or too cold, we found that there’s an increase in online hate speech, no matter the socioeconomic differences, religion or political beliefs.” “Our results show that if September is particularly hot, we can expect to see more hate on Twitter,” said Stechemesser. ""You’ll have more hateful behavior if you find yourself in a certain temperature range. The first thing to do is limit global warming, that’s the most obvious approach to solving this.” No, this isn't a joke, but it certainly reads like one. , which tracks the left's insane 'climate change' claims, said in response to this 'study': ""Climate science' has finally jumped the shark! Wacky World of Climate strikes again! This is what passes for 'The Science'! The new mantra from climate activists will no doubt be: 'Support the Green New Deal or you are pro-violence & hate speech!' ""This is Bloomberg News reporting this drivel and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research backing the study, and the once prestigious journal Lancet actually publishing it. This wacky new study in Lancet is at odds with 1941 research showing that people get 'more docile' during warm weather. Maybe 'global warming' is the reason Americans did not push back harder on unscientific and draconian COVID restrictions,"" he added. Once again, literally  everything either causes climate change or is affected by it, including online attitudes. What is worse, however, is that the globalist elite are using bogus 'scientific studies' like this one to make all sorts of flaky and dangerous policies, such as ending the use of fossil fuels too quickly before they can be replaced with cheaper, viable alternatives (and it isn't  wind and  solar ). Noted author Michael Shellenberger, who writes about and tracks this climate nonsense, recently testified before Congress and pushed back on efforts by the Biden regime and the Democrat-controlled Congress to rapidly shift to 'green' energy and electric vehicles at the cost of our current fossil fuel infrastructure. ""U.S. carbon emissions declined 22% between 2005 and 2020, global emissions were flat over the last decade, and weather-related disasters have declined since the beginning of this century. There is no scientific scenario for mass death from climate change. A far more immediate and dangerous threat is insufficient energy supplies due to U.S. government policies and actions aimed at reducing oil and gas production,"" . ""The Biden administration claims to be doing all it can to increase oil and natural gas production but it’s not. It has issued fewer leases for oil and gas production on federal lands than any other administration since World War II. It blocked the expansion of oil refining. It is using environmental regulations to reduce liquified natural gas production and exports,"" he continued. ""It has encouraged greater production by Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, and other OPEC nations, rather than in the U.S. And its representatives continue to emphasize that their goal is to end the use of fossil fuels, including the cleanest one, natural gas, thereby undermining private sector investment,"" he added. In other words, the Biden regime and Democrats are looking to destroy our economy for no good reason other than to push , using our 'scientific community' as cover.

Trudeau's future climate enforcement brigades will be tasked with roving Canada in search of ""pollution"" criminals, which is why the Ministry is right now trying to fill positions for climate pollution officers within a communistic unit dubbed the ""Environmental Enforcement Directorate."" ""If you emit too much carbon or use too much fertilizer, you may just be on the Climate Communists' hit list,"" writes Keean Bexte for The Counter Signal , presenting one example as to how Trudeau's climate fascists will operate. Something else we know about Trudeau's climate policing mega-plex is that it will be more than 50,000 square feet and house hundreds of staff members. It will also be home to a weather forecasting staff. In the final days of Trudeau's majority government, the Impact Assessment Act (IAA) was quietly passed, granting sweeping new powers to Ministerial ""Enforcement Officers."" These enforcement officers will have the power to enter premises without a warrant under the guise of ""verify[ing] compliance or prevent[ing] non-compliance with [the Act]."" ""Trudeau's Climate Police may enter any project location that affects the environment to take photographs, access computer systems and communication devices, and 'direct any person to put any machinery, vehicle or equipment in the place into operation or to cease operating it,'"" Bexte adds. ""Climate Police may also prohibit access to the location entirely."" Just like The Netherlands and other countries , Canada under Trudeau is waging war on nitrogen and other elements that are used to grow food. This would explain why his new climate policing command center is being placed right in the center of Canada's agricultural heartland. ECCC climate police are already busy implementing the agenda, having recently trespassed on private land in Saskatchewan to collect nitrogen samples. The property's owners say they were confronted by Trudeau's climate agents who said they were there to test the water for nitrates. Trudeau recently announced that Canadian farms will need to curb fertilizer use by 30 percent, which will decrease crop outputs and place more strain on the food supply. ""Some observers have said that there is reason to suspect that these actions are the first steps in replicating the attacks on farmers that have provoked widespread unrest in the Netherlands and elsewhere in Europe,"" Bexte explains. ""While the federal government has not yet confirmed it, there is speculation that the water sampling we now know is underway will be used as baseline measurements to enforce reductions in fertilizer usage going forward."" This war on food being waged by the globalists will not stop unless we make it stop. Are you up to the task? ""Psssst! Nitrogen is 78 percent of the atmosphere. Pass it on,"" wrote a commenter at Natural News about how nitrogen is a necessary component of our atmosphere. ""Both nitrogen and carbon are FRIENDS, and as friendly as hydrogen and oxygen when it comes to the building blocks of life,"" noted another. ""What's next? A war on oxygen??""

Most of them are located near objects that trap or produce heat, corrupting their readouts. Others are located in areas that, since the time of their placement, have become far more urbanized. This, too, is increasing the heat readouts and making it seem all across the board that ""climate change"" is real. (Related: The biggest heater of the planet is sun , not cow flatulence or gas-powered vehicles.) ""With a 96 percent warm-bias in U.S. temperature measurements, it is impossible to use any statistical methods to derive an accurate climate trend for the U.S.,"" says Heartland Institute Senior Fellow Anthony Watts, the study's director. ""Data from the stations that have not been corrupted by faulty placement show a rate of warming in the United States reduced by almost half compared to all stations."" A press release from the Heartland Institute further explains the standards that NOAA is supposed to use to decide whether or not a temperature station is placed correctly for optimal accuracy – standards that the agency is not currently following. ""NOAA's 'Requirements and Standards for [National Weather Service] Climate Observations' instructs that temperature data instruments must be 'over level terrain (earth or sod) typical of the area around the station and at least 100 feet from any extensive concrete or paved surface,'"" the release states. ""And that 'all attempts will be made to avoid areas where rough terrain or air drainage are proven to result in non-representative temperature data.'"" If NOAA were following its own guidelines, average temperatures across the United States would be far lower than what is being reported. It would also be revealed based on accurate data that the country is not, in fact, warming. The Heartland paper follows an earlier one published back in 2009 that similarly points out the flawed data coming from NOAA temperature stations. Entitled ""Is the U.S. Surface Temperature Record Reliable?"" that study looked at more than 1,000 surveyed stations and found that 89 percent of them have heat-bias issues. For at least 13 years, in other words, it has been known that NOAA temperature data is inaccurate and unreliable, and yet the climate change narrative has continued on in the name of ""science."" The Heartland Institute's press release addresses this earlier study, pointing out that the situation with NOAA's temperature stations has only gotten worse over the years. And there does not appear to be any plans in place to fix the problem. ""The original 2009 surface stations project demonstrated conclusively that the federal government's surface temperature monitoring system was broken, with the vast majority of stations not meeting NOAA's own standards for trustworthiness and quality,"" the announcement states. H. Sterling Burnett, director of the Heartland Institute's Arthur B. Robinson Center on Climate and Environmental Policy, commented that after personally surveying NOAA surface stations back in the spring, he can confirm the 2009 report findings. ""This new study is evidence of two things,” Burnett is quoted as saying. ""First, the government is either inept or stubbornly refuses to learn from its mistakes for political reasons. Second, the government's official temperature record can't be trusted. It reflects a clear urban heat bias effect, not national temperature trends."" The latest climate-related news can be found at .

Under the measure, farmers will have to pay taxes for not only the carbon emissions from their farm equipment, but also as their stomachs digest food starting in 2025. If Wellington adopts HWEN's proposal, the government will – in effect – tax burps and farts coming from cows, sheep and other farm animals. According to the 13-member collective, sheep and cattle vastly outnumber New Zealand's human population. This, they add, serves as a more effective way to reduce the country's greenhouse gas emissions. As of writing, the plan to tax animals' methane emissions does not recommend specific prices. However, farmers will be required to report data about their farms to the government through a computerized system. They will also be required to declare the number of animals they own. (Related: ) that farmers must report if they own 50 heads of dairy cattle; 550 heads of sheep, cattle, deer and goats; 700 pigs and 50,000 chickens. They must also disclose if they used 40 tons of synthetic nitrogen fertilizer on their farms. Once sent, the system will then calculate the amount of emissions farmers produce based on their data. Lower emissions will equate to a lower tax, with additional deductions for ""incentivized actions"" and ""maintained and increased carbon sequestration."" According to HWEN, the collected tax on farm animal emissions ""will be invested into agricultural sector emissions research and technology development"" and  ""remaining funds will cover system costs."" There will also be a separate fund to ""support the specific needs of Maori landowners,"" also to be taken from the tax. ""There is no question that we need to cut the amount of methane we are putting into the atmosphere. An effective emissions pricing system for agriculture will play a key part in how we achieve that,"" . However, the proposal by HWEN will also exacerbate the ongoing global food inflation. Farmers will be required to shell out more money to keep livestock, plant vegetables and harvest their crops while keeping their supposed emissions low. This, in turn, will reflect on prices that consumers need to pay. In addition, New Zealand's plan to tax methane and carbon emissions are misguided and based on junk science. Compared to livestock, human activity produces much more methane. Meanwhile, limiting carbon emissions through government mandates is a fool's errand as carbon is found in all organic matter. Farmers – the ones most affected by the tax – have long opposed any attempts to tax gases emitted by their farm animals while digesting food. One 2003 article from the Guardian outlined a protest against the planned levy. Back in September 2003, farmers to protest the fart tax, dubbed the ""backdoor tax"" at that time. A group of 400 farmers gathered outside the New Zealand Parliament and blocked the roads with their tractors. Alongside the protest, a petition against the proposed tax managed to gain more than 64,000 signatures. ""New Zealand farmers are completely unsubsidized [and] completely unprotected in a hugely distorted global market,"" lamented Tom Lambie, erstwhile president of the Federated Farmers Union. "" is just another cost we shouldn't have to bear."" Watch this footage of farmers in New Zealand . This video is from the Brighteon.com .

But this admission comes with a desire to control the narrative regarding the sudden deaths. ""One of my sources in the government told me that there's going to be a narrative change, that the White House is potentially preparing to declare an epidemic – an epidemic of sudden death – and that they might blame long COVID and potentially, believe it or not, climate change,"" said Dowd during an interview on the ""War Room."" (Related: .) But as Dowd has repeatedly pointed out, long COVID is unlikely to be the actual answer to the question of why healthy young people and athletes . ""COVID is not a significant cause of death in young people,"" wrote Dowd in his book, ""Cause Unknown,"" which explores this question. If the government tries to push through with this plan, Dowd said it will only decrease what little credibility the White House has. From 2021 to 2022, more than 1,650 professional and amateur athletes experienced sudden cardiac incidents, sometimes during a game. Of these, due to these incidents. The most well-known incident occurred just recently, when 24-year-old Damar Hamlin of the Buffalo Bills went into cardiac arrest after making a tackle. Emergency medical responders performed CPR on him for over nine minutes, saving his life. Multiple health experts, including cardiologist and COVID-19 vaccine researcher Dr. Peter McCullough, agree that the COVID-19 vaccine played a role in Hamlin's cardiac arrest, though how much of a role is almost impossible to know for sure. According to Dowd, the very clear cause of all these and other sudden cardiac incidents and deaths – not just for prime athletes, but of all sorts of young, healthy people – is the COVID-19 vaccine. ""We have a thesis that it was the vaccine. The numbers do not dissuade us from that,"" he said, in an interview with the  Epoch Times . ""You don't have to believe us – but what is going on?"" he added. ""At the very least, if you don't believe the premise it was the vaccine, what is going on in our country that no one seems to want to talk about from a global health standpoint?"" ""At the very least, this is a national security problem. At the very least, the question is: Why are people dropping dead?"" he continued. ""No one seems to want to talk collectively as a nation."" Dowd further noted that before the COVID-19 vaccine was introduced, sudden deaths in the U.S. occurred at an average of 29 per year.

The Associated Press , one of the largest and most widely published newswire services on the planet, that it had managed to secure $8 million to promote climate change-related stories and content. “This far-reaching initiative will transform how we cover the climate story,"" the newswire's executive editor crowed at the time. There's no doubt that has been the case, Frontpage Magazine : The philanthropic quid-pro-quo saw five organizations fund the AP’s dedicated team of “more than two dozen journalists” to cover “climate issues” that the wire service would then plant in papers around the country to terrify Americans into supporting ‘green’ taxes and subsidies. The Associated Press did not bother to explain to its readers or the newspapers that run its stories why these organizations were impelled to throw millions at it except sheer benevolence. Nor did it explain why they might be particularly interested in convincing Americans that the climate sky is falling and that our economy must be dismantled and ‘greened’: raising energy prices and putting millions out of work. One of those five organizations, Quadrivium, was created by James Murdoch and his wife, who left the Murdoch (of Fox and Fox News origins) family over disagreements with conservative news coverage. The organization says it hopes to reach “a majority of the public” in order to generate “urgent action” on the ""bipartisan passage of a US climate strategy.” The idea being pushed is called the ""carbon rebate plan,"" and it involves taxing Americans via their carbon emissions with the promise of repaying some of the money back to them. It comes from an organization called the Climate Leadership Council, whose board includes James' wife, Kathryn Murdoch. The group's partners include major banks like JP Morgan, Santander, and Goldman Sachs, as well as energy companies BP, Shell, and Conoco, the latter of whom believe, for some reason, that they'll be spared from bankruptcy if they go along with the lunacy. Media organizations like the AP begin to play their role with climate change propaganda pieces like “Carbon tax plan worthy of bipartisan support."" The newswire's editorial board described the CLC as a “group of venerable Republicans” while laughably claiming that taxing Americans for the benefit of special climate interests is “a quintessentially conservative plan""  -- though conservatives and Republicans, in general, push for tax cuts and minimum government in everyone's lives. ""Serious journalism would ask questions or at least mention some of this in passing. The AP instead acts as a mouthpiece without even enough lingering self-respect to disclose any of that,"" Greenfield writes. As for the Murdochs, they have invested in several projects that include pushing leftist climate policies, all of which empower government and companies over hapless consumers who are expected to simply go along with the scheme. Most of the 'convincing' revolves around scaring people to death with false claims of how cattle flatulence and SUVs have put the earth on a short-term timetable to destruction. And, of course, every warning becomes more dire. But the AP doesn't mention any of this, as Greenfield notes. ""The AP is taking money from organizations heavily leveraged in green investments to promote the need for green investments. And it fails to disclose the financial interests that its funders have in promoting global warming hysteria,"" he writes, adding: ""The next time you see you know who’s paying for it.""

However, CO2 is only present in 0.04 percent of air, and man-made carbon emissions contribute to only four percent of this total. Put in perspective, CO2 would be tantamount to small, two-millimeter pigeon droppings on top of Big Ben. Piers Corbyn, a top astrophysicist and director of WeatherAction long-range forecast, argues that . According to him, CO2 levels are an effect, and not a cause of the change in climate or temperatures. In a recent interview, the brother of former U.K. Labor Party leader Jeremy Corbyn explained that the climate "" , but this has nothing to do with man."" He explained that the changes in the Earth's climate and weather are dictated primarily by cyclical activity on the surface of the sun, and had nothing to do with man-made carbon emissions. He also said that the climate change ""scientists"" who disagree with him are only trying to make money. The discussion was prompted by this year's record heatwaves and subsequent droughts that resulted in the in European history, as per a report by the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S). Freja Vambog, a senior scientist at the agency, said that there has not only been record August temperatures for Europe, but for summer as a whole. The previous summer record is only a year old. This ""record"" prompted activists to parrot the same old tropes that the change in the weather ""confirms climate change."" At a time when there is an , green policies are also now on hold in favor of governments not letting their citizens freeze or starve to death. In a discussion for the University of Reading 's Debate Society, Corbyn posited that for the CO2 narrative to be true, man-made CO2 must be able to control the rest of the CO2 traces. Moreover, CO2 must be the main controller of temperature and climate. But according to the society, such claims fail when passed through scientific scrutiny. It added that these claims will not be made any less false by the number of new or old celebrities and ""scientists"" generating carbon footprints by attending ""save the planet"" rallies and parroting alarmist forecasts. Despite what climate alarmists claim, CO2 has been steadily rising while temperatures have swayed with the times – half the time moving with CO2, half against it. Ice-core data over a longer period also showed that CO2 levels, which smoothed over the centuries, follow world climate temperatures by around 500 to 800 years. (Related:  .) The current increase in CO2 levels in the past century are after-effects of the medieval warm period, which took place around 500 to 800 years ago, and was warmer than the current climate despite having fewer people and burning fewer fossil fuels. that the world has been experiencing simply match a developing ice age. According to Corbyn's WeatherAction, they come from the wild, south-shifted jet stream swings. The occasional extreme hot blasts and cold periods are common in little ice-age circulations. Moreover, the man-made global warming hoax is simply pushed for tax and control policies that are damaging ordinary people. These tyrannical ""green"" policies affect the poorest populations, with millions dying of fuel-poverty-related causes due to climate policies every year.

Planet Earth should basically become a desert, the models suggest, because that will help to prevent people from getting sniffles during springtime. ""Our latest study finds that the U.S. will face up to a 200 percent increase in total pollen this century if the world continues producing carbon dioxide emissions from vehicles, power plants and other sources at a high rate,"" reads a new essay released by UMich's Yingxiao Zhang and Allison L. Steiner. ""Pollen season in general will start up to 40 days earlier in the spring and last up to 19 days longer than today under that scenario."" As increasingly more plants appear due to allegedly rising temperatures, the pollen load released into the atmosphere will also increase. This could cause some people to experience a runny nose or feelings of a head cold. ""Rising global temperatures will boost plant growth in many areas, and that, in turn, will affect pollen production,"" the essay adds. ""But temperature is only part of the equation. We found that the bigger driver of the future pollen increase will be rising carbon dioxide emissions."" ""The higher temperature will extend the growing season, giving plants more time to emit pollen and reproduce. Carbon dioxide, meanwhile, fuels photosynthesis, so plants may grow larger and produce more pollen. We found that carbon dioxide levels may have a much larger impact on pollen increases than temperature in the future."" This essay corresponds with published in the journal Nature that lays out a manifesto for why the greening of the planet is somehow a bad thing. Completely ignored in the research is the fact that allergies are on the rise for reasons that have nothing to do with climate change or global warming. One of the most prominent triggers of allergies vaccination , it turns out. Another trigger of allergies is a lack of exposure to the outdoors. Research out of Sweden children who grow up on dairy farms tend to have stronger immune systems with fewer inflammatory episodes caused by allergens. Playing in the dirt – and clean , pesticide-free dirt, just to be clear – is a powerful way for children to develop immunity to allergies, so to speak. None of this is mentioned in the Nature paper decrying planetary ""greening,"" by the way. Another factor completely ignored in the Nature paper is the fact that warmer does not automatically mean more pollen. The author of the Watts Up With That? blog says that his allergies actually got better after he moved from cold Great Britain, where pollen season is shorter, to Australia, where pollen season is much longer. ""Why? Even though the pollen season is longer in my new home, it seems more spread out,"" he says. ""The pollen explosion in cold places like Britain tends to be short duration but extremely intense. It has to be intense, because the growing season is short. Pollination for many plants must occur right at the start of the growing season, or fruits and seeds might not mature fast enough to be ready before the frost arrives."" ""In warmer places, there is much less pressure on plants to seize every precious day of growing season. Plants flower most of the year, and fruits like citrus comfortably continue growing through winter, usually maturing the following Spring."" More related news about climate hysteria can be found at .

""Surely man has something to with this,"" said the anchor, to which Corbyn replied: ""No, the only connection is that man is here at the same time as the sun and the moon are doing things."" He also said the scientists who promote the climate change narrative are only trying to make money. ""They're on a gravy train for heaven's sake,"" he told the interviewer. Corbyn does not believe in man-made global warming. Using his forecasting business called WeatherAction, he predicts weather events using solar-based activity.

They frog-marched me – they didn't handcuff me – and told me they were arresting me for contravening the coronavirus regulations for organizing a gathering of more than 30 people,"" he said of the arrest. He was held by the police for 10 hours. The multiple arrests did not deter Corbyn from telling the truth and exposing the climate change hoax. More related stories: . . . .

Having a ""conversation"" about eating human flesh will help to destigmatize the idea, according to Soderland, who believes that the general public can and should be ""tricked"" into cannibalism – or what he refers to as ""making the right decisions"" concerning diet. When asked at a recent Gastro Summit if he would personally opt to eat human flesh, Soderland said he is open to it. He also claimed that about 10 percent of his audience is also open to trying human flesh. ""I feel somewhat hesitant, but to not appear overly conservative ... I'd have to say ... I'd be open to at least tasting it,"" he told TV4 in Sweden. During the ""Can you Imagine Eating Human Flesh?"" panel at which he spoke, Soderland also pushed the increasingly popular globalist agenda of bug eating, stating that humans need to learn to eat insects instead of meat because ... reasons . Soderland also suggested that people cut up and bake their dead pets rather than bury them in the ground or cremate them – because of  global warming . Pop singer Katy Perry, by the way, also believes that cannibalism is the way forward for humanity. She recently stated that human flesh ""is the best meat,"" and that cannibalism ""got a bad rap."" Cannibalism is ""way more popular than you might think,"" Perry suggested, adding that ""so many people in Hollywood tell you that human meat is the best, the absolute best, meat in the world."" Perry, who was raised in a religious household, went on to blast those who oppose cannibalism, including ""squeamish Christians and their hypocritical virtues and morals."" According to Perry, who is apparently a cannibal herself, human flesh is ""super healthy and good for you."" The New York Times is another supporter and promoter of cannibalism, having run numerous pieces in recent years that aim to destigmatize the consumption of human flesh, stating that it ""has a time and place"" – and that time is apparently now. Such flagrant promotion of evil is tough for even many leftists to stomach, as evidenced by the onslaught of negative responses that the Times received on Twitter, a notoriously far-left social media platform. ""We have known since the 1920s that cannibalism causes mad cow disease,"" wrote someone who reads Newspunch . ""This is true of cannibalism in most, if not all, places. If a cow eats cow meat, he will eventually get mad cow disease, aka prion disease or Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease."" ""Apparently there are several variants, but they are all basically the same thing. It destroys your brain and makes you crazy. Kuru is also a variant. You may read that CJD is not related to mad cow disease, but this comes from the CDC, another agency that lies through its teeth. This has been known for a very long time and this info comes from a virologist with 55 years research behind him who worked in Public Health with a Nobel prize-winning scientist. CJD can kill you within a year, while some variants take much longer. The 'elites' have been endorsing cannibalism for quite a while."" The latest news about climate insanity can be found at .

A presentation by ecologist and environmentalist Dr. Patrick Moore back in October 2015 and other so-called greenhouse gases. In reality, CO2 and other natural elements are crucial for sustaining life on Earth. ""Our children and our public are taught that CO2 is a toxic pollutant that will destroy life and bring civilization to its knees. I hope to turn this dangerous human-caused propaganda on its head,"" Moore said. ""Human emissions of from a very untimely end – that in the absence of our emitting some of the carbon back into the atmosphere from whence it came in the first place, most or perhaps all life on Earth would begin to die less than two million years from today."" According to Moore, hydrocarbons are the energy components of fossil fuels and they are 100 percent organic, as in organic chemistry. These hydrocarbons were produced by solar energy in ancient seas and forests. When they are burned for energy, they produce two main products – water and CO2, which are the two most essential foods for life. (Related:  .) He went on to say that fossil fuels are easily the biggest storage battery of direct solar energy on Earth and nothing else comes close to it except nuclear fuel, which is also solar in the way that it was made in dying stars. Ultimately, Moore remarked that humans are important to the Earth's survival as the planet would be lost in many ways without them. Moore is also the co-founder of environmental activist group Greenpeace, having worked there for 15 years before leaving. He explained that the group he helped establish has lost its way by believing all the current ""green"" deception that portrays mankind and its existence as contrary to the survival of Earth. ""When Greenpeace began, we had a strong humanitarian orientation – to save civilization from destruction by all-out nuclear war,"" he said. ""Over the years, the 'peace' in Greenpeace was gradually lost and my organization, along with much of the environmental movement, drifted into a belief that humans are the enemies of the Earth."" Nowadays, the fight against ""climate change"" has been used as a convenient excuse to take away people's rights to travel, work, and gain public access to spaces. The Expose 's June 21 article also noted that steps supposedly done to address ""climate change"" actually did more harm than good. ""Planting a cargo of well-groomed trees does not compare to a real forest, as they proceed to devastate native species trees and plants,"" the article said. It also mentioned that celebrities and world leaders flying in private jets essentially negates the carbon-cutting done by regular people. Moreover, the article noted how ""climate change"" is actually ""an onslaught on farming and food production."" It cited how documentaries that decry the methane production of cows are blasted, yet the cultivation of water-intensive soya beans that ruin rainforests is conveniently ignored. The Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic was also scrutinized for the single-use plastic waste – in the form of test kits, gloves and face masks – it generated, negating the drive to ditch reusable plastic. ""The belief that humanity is helping the Earth by staying inside their homes during the COVID lockdown was a lie,"" the Expose continued. ""Pushing the people they care about so much is a deception the globalists have used so that humans will sacrifice their freedom. Watch this video that explains why .

Consequently, a significant number of these firms are currently seeking investment partners who are willing to assume the associated risks,  . KQED , the , has reported that a substantial number of these companies received funding from SVB because other banks were less willing to invest in ventures that had a lower likelihood of generating returns: Nearly half of the country’s bio- and climate-technology companies, many of them headquartered in the Bay Area, banked with Silicon Valley Bank. Last year, SVB committed to investing at least $5 billion in the clean tech industry. But even as the FDIC quickly stepped in to guarantee deposits, following , many companies have been scrambling to find new banks, open accounts and reorganize payroll systems. To this point, SVB was widely known for incubating ambitious climate and biotech startups, and was a valuable resource for new companies looking for a bank willing to invest in innovative and somewhat risky ventures. In an article for the Wall Street Journal , columnist Kimberley Strassel cited a source who referred to such investments as ""subprime business loans."" , she noted, the majority of these companies did not address any critical market demand. Instead, SVB was popular for its readiness to extend ""banking services to startups that often weren’t profitable, in some cases didn’t have a product, and would otherwise have a hard time getting a line of credit or a loan from a larger bank.” A technology entrepreneur offered an even more critical characterization of SVB's offerings to law.com. “They’re basically subprime business loans. You’re talking about companies that have no credit profile, they’re burning cash and are unlikely to raise the same type of capital because of interest rates. . . . It was basically social credit,"" the tech entrepreneur said. What motivates a bank to overlook risk and invest heavily in products or services that are not in high demand? One factor is the availability of easy money and misguided regulations that channeled large sums into the economy while encouraging banks such as SVB to take on more sovereign debt, bolstered by the belief, fed by the Federal Reserve, that interest rates would remain near zero indefinitely. Another factor is government subsidies, such as President Biden's initiative to create a climate industry that would not exist otherwise, Strassel said. The author contends that the current Democratic-led government, which previously funded ill-fated projects such as Solyndra in the 2009 stimulus package, overseen by then-Vice President Joe Biden, is repeating the same error. As Breitbart News reported in 2020, Biden claimed personal credit for the stimulus-backed investment in Fisker Automotive in Delaware to manufacture electric cars. However, the venture failed to produce a single car, . The 2009 stimulus package, officially known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, has faced a number of criticisms over the years. Some of the primary criticisms include the fact that it was too expensive and did not actually stimulate the economy as intended. Critics also argue that much of the funding was allocated towards pet projects and did not create long-lasting job growth. Additionally, some have claimed that the package did not do enough to address systemic issues in the economy and that it favored certain industries over others. In the end, several economists even said they believe that the 'stimulus' and other top-down Democratic policies taken to ward off a market meltdown -- because government is not the solution for such crises; the free market is.

Five years later, humanity is still around and no such ""climate doomsday"" scenario came to fruition. It even appears that stopping the use of fossil fuels – as suggested by the unnamed climate scientist – accelerated the collapse of humanity. Thunberg quietly deleted the aforementioned tweet upon realizing that the predicted collapse did not occur. But this did not evade the eyes of various conservative commentators, including Human Events Senior Editor Jack Posobiec. He asked Thunberg in a March 12 tweet, alongside a screenshot of the 2018 post: ""Hi [Greta!] Why did you delete this?"" The Swedish activist is not the only one notorious for making predictions that fail to happen. Former Vice President Al Gore if it doesn't adopt green energy, according to a January 2023 Fox News article. ""Gore said during a speech at the Copenhagen Climate Conference in 2009 that there was 'a 75 percent chance that the entire north polar ice cap … could be completely ice-free within the next five to seven years.' However, the Arctic ice cap hasn't been eliminated at any point over the last decade,"" the piece stated. The former vice president during the Clinton administration also predicted in his 2006 documentary ""An Inconvenient Truth"" that the global sea level could rise by as much as 20 feet ""in the near future."" But data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration easily debunked the documentary's predictions. It said that since 1880, the and that between 1993 and 2021, the sea level has been rising by 3.8 inches. At this rate, it would take more than 1,100 years before the world's sea level would reach 20 feet – as Gore claimed. (Related: ) The Gateway Pundit 's Margaret Flavin shined a light on Thunberg's hypocrisy, writing that the 20-year-old activist hobnobs with the globalist elites while expressing her intent to ""overthrow"" the allegedly ""oppressive"" and ""racist"" capitalist system. In January, Thunberg joined the 2023 meeting of the globalist World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland to denounce the same elites backing her ""climate change"" agenda. She accused them of ""prioritizing self-greed, corporate greed and short-term economic profits above people and above planet."" ""Basically, the people who are mostly fueling the destruction of the planet; the people who are the very core of the climate crisis; the people who are investing in fossil fuels … are the [same] people that we seem to rely on solving our problems – where they have proven time and time again that they are not prioritizing,"" Thunberg said. ""Right now, the changes that we need are not very likely to come from the inside. Rather, I believe they will come from the bottom up, so to speak. These people are going to go as far as they possibly can as long as they can get away with it. They will continue to invest in fossil fuels. They will continue to throw people under the bus for their own gain."" Ironically, Thunberg was in the same room as the people she rebuked in her speech. Visit for more stories about Greta Thunberg.

Infowars further reported: The cryptocurrency organization called the Algorand Foundation will join forces with the Self Employed Women’s Association and the Clinton Global Initiative, according to a press release. Not much is known about the Adrienne Arsht-Rockefeller Foundation Resilience Center —  that it is “making communities around the globe more resilient.” The Council for Inclusive Capitalism, for which Lynn Forester De Rothschild is listed as one of its advisers, claims its mission is “mobilizing the private sector to create a more inclusive, sustainable and trusted economic system.” This comes amid an economic backdrop of numerous central banks pushing for Central Bank Digital Currencies, “digital cash” over which they have complete control, claiming they will reduce humanity’s carbon footprint. This latest push comes as the United States is preparing to enter a significant and purposeful recession that could eventually trigger a full-blown depression. The Federal Reserve has announced a “digital currency pilot program” at all 12 of its banks — currency that the government will be able to “program” in a way to control personal spending habits and behaviors. “Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank President Esther George said in an interview that inflation is at risk of growing entrenched in the economy, making it difficult for the Federal Reserve to fight inflation without a recession. George said that labor is the driver of inflation now, rather than supply chain or production shortages, and the real challenge for policymakers is prematurely ending rate increases,”   to subscribers. An accompanying analyst comment noted: “Fed officials have previously waved off the risk of recession, so this admission is significant. George is now saying the proverbial quiet part out loud, as [Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome] Powell has been engineering a deliberate recession since last year.” Now, as an engineered recession is upon us, the same Fed will be introducing a digital currency that it can manipulate on behalf of the wishes of the deep state permanent government. “The Federal Reserve Bank of New York today announced that its New York Innovation Center (NYIC) will participate in a proof-of-concept project to explore the feasibility of an interoperable network of central bank wholesale digital money and commercial bank digital money operating on a shared multi-entity distributed ledger,”  .

The jet burns as he zips around the world strumming up business for his firm, Breakthrough Energy, whose stated aim is driving innovation and sustainable energy and technology in order to decrease greenhouse gas emissions. Gates, who is currently the fourth-richest person in the world, addressed guests at the Lowy Institute think tank in Sydney, emphasizing the importance of reducing greenhouse gases and saying: ""The reason why climate change is worth investing in massively is because it will get worse and worse over time. If you allow the warming to go to an extreme level, then all sorts of natural ecosystems disappear and all sorts of places in the world you can't do outdoor work. So the tropical areas, agriculture would be impossible, outdoor work during large parts of the year would be impossible."" Next, he plans to fly his gas-guzzling jet to Melbourne to enjoy the last five days of the Australian Open tennis tournament. The private jet is just one of four that . His collection, which is worth $194 million, includes a pair of Gulfstream G650ERs that are worth a reported $70 million apiece and can carry as many 18 passengers. The other two aircraft are Bombardier Challenger 350s that cost around $27 million each. He has referred to his collection as his “guilty pleasure” and has also invested billions of dollars in the biggest business jet service provider in the world, Signature Aviation. In his book How to Avoid Climate Disaster , Gates admits he is an “imperfect messenger” on the matter of climate change, yet he does not appear to be in any hurry to give up his comforts in the name of saving the planet – even while insisting that the rest of us do so. Gates once told Chris Wallace of Fox News that the world needs to bring its emissions from the current 51 billion tons down to zero in the next three decades or we’ll face severe consequences, but he is clearly not doing his part to help. A Swedish study found that Gates took 59 private jet flights in 2017, which emitted a total of around 1,600 tons of carbon dioxide; the global average is less than 5 tons per person. According to a report from Transport & Environment, private jet travel is considered the most carbon-intensive means of transportation by far, as it’s 10 times more carbon-intensive than commercial airplanes and 50 times more carbon-intensive than travel by train. While Gates likes to claim that his affinity for private jet travel is not as bad as it sounds because he buys clean aviation fuel, investing in business jet maintenance is hardly a reasonable move for someone who claims to be so concerned about the environment. He's not the only climate change alarmist who doesn't practice what he preaches. This week, came under fire for flying out to Davos, Switzerland for meetings about fighting climate change in at least 150 private jets. The guests, who included billionaires, government officials, celebrities and business executives, used thousands of through their usage of private jets. Environmental campaigner Klara Maria Schenk noted: ""Meanwhile, the rich and powerful flock to Davos in ultra-polluting, socially inequitable private jets to discuss climate and inequality behind closed doors.” This site is part of the Natural News Network © 2022 All Rights Reserved. | All content posted on this site is commentary or opinion and is protected under Free Speech.

The result is a dimmed sun that no longer functions as designed to sustain life on earth. (Related: It in 2018 that climate fanatics were pushing a ""global dimming"" agenda to block out the sun and ""save the planet."") Much like how natural volcanic eruptions flood the skies with pollutants that darken daylight for days or even weeks at a time, chemtrail blasts like the ones occurring at Make Sunsets mimic this sun-blocking effects to fight ""global warming."" Numerous test launches have already taken place at sites across Mexico with no public input or scientific debate. The goal, according to the company's head, is to eventually commercialize the technology for widespread use. ""We joke slash not joke that this is partly a company and partly a cult,"" said Luke Iseman, the co-founder and CEO of Make Sunsets. ""It's morally wrong, in my opinion, for us not to be doing this ... (and we need) to do this as quickly and safely as we can."" Before Make Sunsets was incorporated in October, the company performed two balloon launches, the outcomes of which are unknown. Neither of those launches had any approval from government authorities or scientific agencies, and were done to boost Iseman's own ego. ""This was firmly in science project territory,"" he said. ""Basically, it was to confirm that I could do it."" In essence, it was a do-it-yourself geoengineering scheme that Iseman hopes to develop into a full-fledged terraforming operation that uses reusable balloons to dump loads of sulfur into the skies on a regular basis. There is also talk of developing a revenue generation program through ""cooling credits,"" which will sell for $10 a pop and cover the release of one gram of particles into the stratosphere. The claim is that these one-gram releases offset the warming effect of one ton of carbon for a full year. ""What I want to do is create as much cooling as quickly as I responsibly can, over the rest of my life, frankly,"" Iseman added, noting that in 2023, the plan is to deploy as much sulfur as ""we can get customers to pay us"" for – meaning it is all about the money. There is no actual science behind cooling credits, though. So little is known about what sulfur particles actually do to the environment that claiming they offset carbon based on per-gram outcomes is deceptive at best. ""From a business perspective, reflective cooling effects and risks cannot currently be quantified in any meaningful way, making the offering a speculative form of 'junk credit' that is unlikely to have value to climate credit markets,"" said Kelly Wanser, executive director of SilverLining, a nonprofit research group that deals with climate issues. Solar geoengineering expert David Keith is of the belief that small amounts of sulfur at the levels being released by Make Sunsets are trivial and pose no real threat to the environment. He is, however, concerned that efforts to privatize these technologies are misguided because ""commercial development cannot produce the level of transparency and trust the world needs to make sensible decisions about deployment.""

But why are these superpowers focused on forcing the mass public to eat crickets, mealworms and cockroaches? A WEF insider said they plan on breaking people enough to destroy the human soul. One very important matter to the WEF is that humans have too many freedoms and that they consume too many resources – so they want to redefine what it means to be human. On the WEF's website, the organization is entertaining studies that say or meaningful. In other words, they see people as cattle that should consume fewer resources. This is where their bug-eating agenda comes in: With the use of buzzwords such as ""sustainability,"" and ""environmentally friendly,"" the global elite is defining what a ""responsible diet"" is while shaming those who consume meat. The WEF and other elites are in full propaganda mode in promoting bug diets, with celebrities now eating bugs on camera and mainstream journalists writing articles to promote the ""inevitability"" of eating what they now call ""micro-livestock."" A-list celebrities like Nicole Kidman and Robert Downey Jr. promote bug diets by and promoting ""cricket protein"" on late-night shows. Elites are also using news articles to push their thinly veiled propaganda, including pushing for synthetic meat, which is part of the same agenda. These articles were filed under climate change topics to coerce and shame the world into adopting an unnatural diet based on insects and synthetic food. If that's not enough, the WEF is pushing the same agenda on the most impressionable: school children. California public schools are now using posters that encourage children to eat bugs and educate others, saying that lots of people eat them. They also say that bugs can't make people sick because, unlike pigs and cows, they don't carry diseases. (Related:  .) The habits that humans adopt in their formative years usually follow them for the rest of their lives, which is why the elites are infiltrating schools with their agenda. The elites fail to tell people that . A 2019 study found that consuming insects poses severe health risks to humans due to the transmission of parasitic diseases. In a study examining 300 insect farms, parasites were detected in 81.33 percent of them. In 206 or 68.67 percent of the cases, the identified parasites were pathogenic to insects only, while in 106 or 35.33 percent of the cases, the parasites were also potentially parasitic in animals. In 91 or 30.33 percent of the cases, the parasites were potentially pathogenic for humans, which means that ""edible insects"" are actually underestimated reservoirs of human and animal parasites. In 2007, another study that focused on chitin (the natural structural component found in insect exoskeletons) found that it . Chitosan, a chemical compound made from chitin, was also shown to lead to the depletion of vitamins in the human body. This means that while insects could show good nutritional value on paper, they could be toxic to humans as they can harbor parasites, affect the immune system, trigger allergies and even deplete vitamins from the body. But despite these glaring issues, the elites are moving forward with their agenda, creating fake crises to push the public into consuming insects and synthetic products. The elites are laying their plans in leading people toward a ""decreased"" supply of meat and an increasing supply of insects and synthetic food products. More related stories: . .

The climate ""has always been changing, but this has nothing to do with man,"" Corbyn said, much to the shock of the RT host who apparently believes in man-made climate change. The older brother of former United Kingdom Labor Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, Piers Corbyn was once hailed by former U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson as ""the world's foremost meteorologist soothsayer."" One wonders if that sentiment is still shared now that Corbyn has spoken his mind. ""For one thing, science doesn't do settled opinion,"" Corbyn said, explaining that Earth's climate and weather patterns are dictated not by cow flatulence and a lack of Teslas on the road, but rather by cyclical activity on the surface of the sun. ""And for another, they are all wrong."" It turns out that carbon dioxide and other atmospheric molecules play absolutely no role in so-called ""global warming,"" a concept that in and of itself is fake. (Related: Climate change is [just like ""diversity"" and ""equity""].) ""Surely man has something to do with this,"" the RT host then blurted out, to which Corbyn responded: ""No, the only connection is that man is here at the same time as the sun and the moon are doing things."" The RT host proceeded to argue with Corbyn, stating that ""so many climate change scientists disagree with you and they get so much support for that."" ""Those that say this are just trying to make money,"" Corbyn laughed back at the host. ""They're on a gravy train for heaven's sake."" You can watch the very brief interview in full below: This guy is a legend ? — Art TakingBack ?? (@ArtValley818_) Consensus, as popular as it might be in today's world, means nothing when it comes to science. In fact, with the way funding is distributed, consensus is probably a good indicator of what not to believe as true. The longstanding definition of science, as pointed out by a commenter, is that facts, data and empirical research support a theory or model – emphasis on the word theory . Nothing is ever settled when it comes to mankind's understanding of this complex world. This is especially true when dealing with the causalities behind a seemingly changing climate. To pin meat or gas-powered vehicles as the culprit behind a really hot summer is a laughably foolish and unscientific notion, despite it prevailing as the current consensus. The new ""woke"" definition of science, as defined by said commenter jokingly, reads as follows: ""A consensus of opinions aligned with the preferred narrative. No debate or challenge is permitted and no research is allowed that might uncover uncomfortable or inconvenient facts. Research results which go against the preferred narrative will be suppressed and the perpetrator vilified, ridiculed, and punished."" Another commenter pointed out that Galileo, like many scientific pioneers before and after him, was persecuted for presenting scientific discoveries that went against the narrative – much like Corbyn is doing by setting the record straight about climate change. ""The climate alarmism is a religion,"" added another. ""Lots of people are jumping on because they get unlimited funding. Climate lockdowns have already been discussed, and in Europe they plan on freezing for freedom."" The latest climate-related news can be found at .

It turns out that in order to grow, toxic algae blooms need a steady supply of nutrients, which poop and pee provide. (Related: Toxic algae blooms on the West Coast have been a problem , in part due to the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan.) Some eight million people live in the San Francisco Bay Area, which means the bodily waste of eight million humans is constantly being dumped into the area's water supply. This is harmful to the water and sea life that lives in it, creating widespread sea creature death and other problems. According to David Senn, a senior scientist at the SF Bay Nutrient Management Strategy of the San Francisco Estuary Institute, nutrients ""may not have triggered this specific event,"" referring to the most recent onslaught of toxic algae blooms. ""But they contributed to its size, the amount of the organism, and how long it lasted,"" he added. California's ongoing drought conditions combined with exceptionally hot weather and a steady flow of human waste has created a perfect storm for toxic algae blooms to thrive. Most algae blooms are said to be beneficial since they supply food to the ocean food chain. These algae blooms are different because they are multi-celled and grow very dense at the surface, robbing the plants beneath them of needed sunlight. There are also ""red tide"" toxic algae growths that contain a deadly neurotoxin capable of passing up the food chain. These blooms can kill off lots of sea life, which ends up washing ashore. When oxygen levels in the water get depleted, algae die. And after their death, the decay sinks beneath the surface, clogging the gills of fish and smothering crustaceans and other vegetation. All of these persistent algae growth problems in the San Francisco Bay have prompted the regional water board to gear up for caps on the amount of nutrients allowed in wastewater that gets dumped there. ""It's a multibillion-dollar Bay Area issue that needs to be thought through very carefully, taking the science into effect,"" said a person familiar with the issue, noting that area residents' water bills would double or even triple as a result. ""There's all sorts of different treatments, and none of them are cheap."" Before 1972, raw sewage was pumped directly into the San Francisco Bay. After the Clean Water Act was passed in 1972, some filtration was added to treatment plants, but it is still not enough. Some local water agencies have taken voluntary steps to decrease nutrient loads while others are choosing to wait. One of the worst offenders is the San Jose / Santa Clara Regional Wastewater Facility, which serves Silicon Valley. That facility releases more discharge water into the bay than other large facilities throughout the area. Some 85 million gallons per day is dumped into the bay from the San Jose / Santa Clara facility, and with a nitrogen load of about 5.5 tons per day. San Francisco's treatment plant releases an average of 55 million gallons per day into the San Francisco Bay but with an even higher nitrogen load of 9.5 tons per day.

What's worse is that the media outlets being paid by Gates are supporting that narrative. (Related:  .) For example, Guardian noted that the most damaging farm products are organic, pasture-fed beef and lamb. ""The article talks about all the insane climate nonsense about getting rid of farms and just making urban sprawls, which I thought were super polluting, goes against their points and they run in circles,"" Sigurdson said.

He added that the tech magnate is working with Big Pharma companies to fund media outlets. ""We are dealing with a man who's a  and who is funding media that's putting out stories in the face of a controlled collapse of a supply chain,"" he said.

The 's goal is to limit global warming to well below two, preferably to 1.5 degrees Celsius, compared to pre-industrial levels. To achieve this long-term temperature goal, countries aim to reach global peaking of greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible to achieve a climate-neutral world by mid-century. The ""climate advocates"" are so far not successful in their climate alarmism efforts, and they are now pushing the instead.

In an effort to be ""fair,"" the Dutch government is offering the landowners 120 percent more fiat money than their land is worth at market prices, but many of them are not interested in cash and would prefer to keep their land. This is not an option, though. And many farmers and their families are ""crying at the kitchen table every day"" while others contemplate suicide as they face the reality of losing their livelihoods at the hands of a rogue bureaucracy. (Related: You can learn more about the Dutch farmer protests from our .) Many of the Dutch farmers who are being forced to sell or die were lured into buying their farms by the very government that is now taking it all away by force. The Dutch government, in conjunction with big banks, developed a comprehensive plan to expand Dutch farms, encouraging farmers to expand and create larger farms by purchasing their neighbors' properties. ""They wanted the farms to scale up their businesses,"" one report explains. ""And now, suddenly the policy is to make smaller farmers. This is also the EU policy."" ""Then, you add nitrogen regulations. These farmers now have these huge farms, which means big debts, huge debts, because they had to invest. And now, the government comes up with the idea that they have this nitrogen problem, and farms need to close or be reduced in size."" ""The banks turn around and say, then your business – because a farm is really a business – is only worth 50 percent compared to yesterday. So these people have huge debts. They are captured in a system that they never asked for. They followed the rules, and now they are pushed in a direction that is really desperate for them."" What is a Dutch farmer to do under these circumstances? That is a question many of them are now asking themselves, which is why there are a lot of tears and a growing number of tragic deaths as landowners, some of whom have been passing down their farms for many generations, are running out of hope. Chances are that most farmers will take the money rather than have their farms seized by force. This is the kind of tyranny the flourishes once globalists take over a nation or continent and intentionally drive it into the ground for their own gain. Keep in mind that The Netherlands, despite its small size, is the world's second-largest producer of food behind the United States. Many other countries rely on Dutch food exports, which will dwindle once the globalists have their way with Dutch farms. The only good news in all this is that the farmer-citizen movement in The Netherlands was so strong last election that it saw a landline win. Perhaps headway can be made in fighting back against the globalists and saving The Netherlands from total destruction. ""They keep the people stupid and the government makes them work,"" one man from The Netherlands who is fighting back against globalist tyranny wrote in an article for REMIX .

Fox Business , the Department of Energy has proposed new rules that would reduce the current limits for water and energy use in dishwashers. The proposed rules would limit dishwashers to using 3.2 gallons of water per cycle, significantly lower than the current limit of 5 gallons, and manufacturers would need to reduce their products’ energy consumption by almost 30 percent. Even though most dishwashers available on the market already meet or exceed the current federal standards, the proposed rules have left some questioning why the Biden administration is focusing on such regulations rather than other priorities. “Dishwashers are not the only appliances Biden’s DOE has set its sights on, however, as the regulator is also considering crackdowns on washers, dryers and refrigerators that manufacturers say could reduce performance,” Fox Business noted further. Members of the regime have been clear: The rule changes pertain to Biden’s ‘climate agenda.’ “Collectively these energy efficiency actions … support President Biden’s to combat the climate crisis,” the DOE wrote earlier this year. “This Administration is using all of the tools at our disposal to save Americans money while promoting innovations that will reduce carbon pollution and combat the climate crisis,” Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm . Critics have also poked major holes in the regime's claim that the new rules are going to save American consumers oodles of money each year. “The department estimates that consumers will save $3 billion over the next 30 years, or $100 million per year, on their utility bills thanks to the rougher rules,” Reason . “That’s a pretty small per capita savings when spread across the 89 million dishwasher-owning households.” In fact, he noted that the new rules actually might lead to  more water use: The new regulations might lead to more water usage as individuals switch to washing dishes by hand, Britschgi pointed out, citing research from the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI). The think tank’s proposal led President Donald Trump’s administration to approve a new class of dishwashers that clean dishes in one hour, though Biden’s team repealed the pro-consumer regulatory agenda of his predecessor. The proposed dishwasher regulations follow a recent debate over gas stoves at the national level. Despite Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s reassurances that there is nothing to be concerned about, just last week his home state of New York prohibited gas stoves. “Nobody is taking away your gas stove,” Schumer tweeted in early February. “Shameless and desperate MAGA Republicans are showing us they will cook up any distraction to divert from real issues the American people want solved, like the debt ceiling.” That turned out to be  , obviously. “Nevertheless, New York lawmakers agreed to in late April. The ban will affect new construction on small buildings in 2025 and move on to larger buildings by 2028,” Fox Business added. In a statement last month, Consumer Product Safety Commission Commissioner Richard Trumka Jr., a Democratic activist and labor union leader, suggested that stoves could pose a “hidden hazard” to users and that ""any option is on the table."" However, after receiving backlash, Chairman Alex Hoehn-Saric clarified that the agency had no plans to ban stoves. But in February, the Energy Department went ahead with a new proposal that would allow government regulators to write energy consumption standards for the appliances, Daily Wire .

Scientists say that if the world wants to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, rice cannot be ignored,” the Associated Press reported. Rice is a staple food crop that has enabled massive population growth throughout Asia and India over the past century. It is now more obvious than ever that the global warming agenda and the climate change cult are nothing more than , food sovereignty, and population growth. This cult of destruction -- climate change -- is not targeting pollutants. They are targeting natural molecules that are necessary for plant life. They are targeting fertilizer use on farms, hindering food production. They are targeting cow populations on the ranches and feedlots. They are targeting rice fields! Starvation, global depopulation, and slavery is secretly the end goal. Bjoern Ole Sander of the International Rice Research Institute said, “Rice, which sets them apart from other crops, has a standing water layer in the field, which means there’s not exchange of air between the soil and the atmosphere. So that means you have in the soil anaerobic conditions, and that means there are different bacteria active in the soil than you would find in wheat or maize.” This natural process is now to blame for global warming and the destruction of the planet. Climate change simps are being brainwashed to believe in something abstract that makes them feel virtuous, while their country's energy independence and food security is swept out from underneath their feet. The central planners behind the climate change agenda desire depopulation. They openly advocate for humans to be living in pods and ten minute cities, hacked, programmed, and made dependent on bugs, lab grown meat, mRNA updates, and engineered foodstuffs. In the United States, 80 percent of all the rice that is consumed is grown in America. About 40 million pounds of rice is distributed around the world to combat food insecurity. These throughout the US. These farmers grow rice across a collective 2.8 million acres, on family farms across Arkansas, California, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Texas. However, if these family farms are told to comply with a “global methane pledge,” then they could come under attack by the United Nations, and be forced to relinquish their agricultural inputs and yields -- an . In Vietnam, rice farmers are making pledges to cut “global methane emissions.” The associated press reports: “Under the global methane pledge, Vietnam and several other major rice producers in Asia have vowed to cut emissions by 30% by 2020 and 2023, but the two largest producers, China and India, failed to sign.” Chinese leaders repeatedly refuse to participate in the global warming propaganda and climate change cult, because they are looking to use the hysteria to their advantage so they dominate on the global stage, as cowardly leaders in the West and reap continuing inflation and food shortages.

Now there are almost 7 billion … and every one of them needing space … the impact of these extra millions of people has spread far beyond the space that they physically claimed … we now realise that the disasters that continue increasingly to afflict the natural world have one element that connects them all – the unprecedented increase in the number of human beings on the planet.  There had been prophets who’ve warned us of this impending disaster. Of course, one of the first was Thomas Malthus.” RSA: People and Planet: Speech only, 16 March 2011 (22 mins) He  : “Fifty years ago, a group of far-sighted people in this country [Great Britain] got together to warn the world of an impending disaster.  Among them were a distinguished scientist, Sir Julian Huxley …”  Attenborough omitted to mention that   and president of the most infamous eugenics society in Europe, the British Eugenics Society. Attenborough’s association with eugenicists doesn’t end with admiration of Huxley.  In 2012 Attenborough was interviewed by Wellcome Trust.  The Trust has a close relationship with the British Eugenics Society which was renamed the Galton Institute in 1989. Its library is the guardian of the Eugenics Society historical archives and several top governance positions at the Galton Institute include individuals who originally worked at Wellcome Trust. Speaking to eugenics associated Wellcome Trust, Attenborough declared that he “couldn’t think of a single problem that wouldn’t be easier to solve if there were less people.” Wellcome Trust: Sir David Attenborough: an interview with the Wellcome Trust, 20 July 2012 (7 mins) The false climate change narrative is used as a selling point for depopulation and Attenborough is relentless in his marketing of both.  A clip from Attenborough’s Netflix series  ‘Our Planet ‘ was shown at the 2019 WEF’s Davos summit to convince attendees that climate change really is having a deadly impact on the world and everything in it. Later, evidence came to light revealing that Attenborough presented fraudulent and misleading information in his clip.  And it wasn’t the last time Attenborough was caught out spreading disinformation. Further reading: Despite being shown up as a charlatan, Attenborough has continued to peddle his wares.  In February 2021, he : “We are today perilously close to tipping points that, once passed, will send global temperatures spiralling catastrophically higher. if we continue on our current path, we will face the collapse of everything.” “Tipping point” has been a   and there have been several such proclamations.  If any of their scaremongering predictions had been vaguely true, “the collapse of everything” would have happened in the 1980s if not sooner. Attenborough, of course, has a close association with WEF.  He has been a regular speaker at WEF events, maybe to mentally prepare business and government managers for the agenda of quick depopulation. But in 2020, WEF wheeled out the other two marketeers for their annual meeting at Davos.  One of the key areas WEF prioritised was “how to save the planet.”  Klaus   who hysterically declared “ ” and Goodall   to declare there would be no environmental problems if the world’s population was 450 million instead of the current 8 billion. Attenborough was not completely left out in the cold though.  In a conveniently timed appeal, a week before Davos 2020 began,   Attenborough’s interview of 8 years previously with Wellcome Trust.  The description of their video highlights that Attenborough “points out our human population is clearly one of the drivers that underlie all global problems.” The 2-minute excerpt began with Attenborough’s statement from 8 years earlier: “I have no doubt that the fundamental source of all our problems, particularly our environmental problems, is population growth. I can’t think of a single problem that would be easier to solve if there were less people” , a UK entrepreneur of  BBC ’s ‘Dragons’ Den’ fame, summed it up in a   which we’ve copied below. We know that David Attenborough is a frequent speaker at Davos and is heavily involved as an advisor to WEF.  It’s easy to understand then, how “global overpopulation” was used as the justification to get so many countries to agree to the Covid/Great Reset/mass culling master plan. The problem on the planet is not population – it is a system that delivers all of the money and resources to a tiny number of ruthless, heartless, soulless people. I have a better solution.  Redistribute all of the wealth, including land, of the 1% “elite” to local communities to ensure that everyone has the basic resources of clean water, land and equipment to create sustainable energy and locally grown organic food.

Air travelers who require regional transfers to and from the three larger airports after that time will need to take rail or a car instead, as these are considered by the globalists to be much better forms of transport for the climate. The only way for even Heathrow, Glasgow, and Belfast to remain open between 2029 and 2049 is if all other airports close down by 2029, and if all air transfers within the UK be migrated to ground transfers. If that is achieved, then the Big Three can stay open until 2049. After that, the report states, all airports, including the Big Three, will need to be closed down permanently, leaving residents trapped right where they are. This, we are told, will ""cool"" down the planet and create a climate utopia. ""In order to meet this legal commitment, the report states that every citizen of the United Kingdom will need to 'stop using aeroplanes' for a significant period of time,"" reported The Exposé about how the scheme is outlined to work. In order to fully comply with the Climate Change Act, airports are not the only thing that has to go. The same report states that the general public will need to stop flying as well as stop doing anything else that creates ""emissions,"" regardless of the energy source. Meat consumption, for instance, will also need to end because raising cows for beef and sheep for lamb is bad for the environment, the globalists claim. Genetically modified (GMO) soybeans and corn, on the other hand, which have to be doused in deadly chemicals in order to grow, are good for the environment and can stay. By 2029, these want people in the UK to reduce their meat consumption by 50 percent. The remaining 50 percent will need to be ""phased out"" between 2030 and 2049. No more new buildings will be allowed after 2049 either. Pretty much anything that falls into the category of economic activity will need to go, which also means that all people – except for the globalists, of course – will also need to disappear in order to stop them from emitting their very existence and polluting the envisioned globalist utopia. ""The underlying point is that any asset which uses carbon will have essentially zero value in 2050,"" the report states. ""This in turn may encourage greater use in the run up to 2050 – for example, putting up new buildings at a much faster rate for the next 30 years, knowing that construction must then halt."" The report, by the way, was released in 2019 just prior to covid. In many ways, it serves as a blueprint for what is still to come, which is being catalyzed by the global upheaval that was foisted upon the world in the name of fighting the ""pandemic."" ""It is possible that the events of the past two and half years are part of a larger, more sinister agenda that is only just beginning,"" is how The Expose puts it.

Climate change was called ""global warming"" for decades, until all the ""rising temperature"" charts were , the oceans were not rising at the shorelines, and the glaciers were not receding at the poles. #2. Electric vehicles actually utilizes MORE fossil fuel and energy to run the charging stations, build them, and to manufacture the vehicles anyway. #3. The entire agriculture and transportation industries would implode because there's no way to replace all the machinery, tractors, and tractor trailers with electric or solar powered machines in the next century. #4. There are NOT more natural storms than there ever were before, including tornadoes, hurricanes, tsunamis, typhoons, earthquakes, etc. #5. The globalists, elitists, and celebrities pushing hardest for everyone to bow down and support ""climate change"" travel the world relentlessly in fossil-fuel-powered planes, jets, yachts, and SUVs to preach at their Ponzi scheme seminars. #6. The for ""climate change"" is a dogmatic, drama-infused sensationalist who keeps predicting the end of the world date over and over, and that date must be renegotiated as each one passes. #7. Climate change is just another apparatus for the communist police-state tyranny to steal money from the populace, control their purchases and movement, and install mass surveillance for worsened tyrannical control. #8. Carbon dioxide is NOT even a pollutant, as the claim as their major stance, but rather it's the elixir of life itself. #9. Big Tech social media giants, MSM, the globalists, and the (CCDC) are about ""climate change"" because there's literally ZERO science to back up their claims, and contrary, the science shows we are in a slow cooling phase anyway. #10. George Soros is behind it. Possibly the most sinister man on planet earth, anything that George Soros funds and backs is a money-making, and the climate change hoax is no exception to that rule. If any Americans are ""extremely"" interested in deconstructing the elixir of life, carbon dioxide (CO2), then they might be considered a ""domestic terrorist,"" because without CO2, all plant life will become extinct, which means all humans and animals die off too. So these climate change extremists who want to force everyone to create a ""zero carbon footprint"" by whatever year they proclaim, well they are members of the climate cult who are demanding we render the earth uninhabitable. Sounds criminal. The ""Church of Global Warming"" is now prosecuting all dissenters who don't agree that CO2 is the biggest threat on earth. Supposedly now, if you actually believe in real science, then you are ""anti-science,"" because real science disproves global warming and all this talk of CO2 being the enemy of human survival. In fact, scientific studies reveal that CO2 has played a significant role in the re-greening of the earth after abnormally low CO2 levels limited our planet’s vegetation.

This phenomenon is caused by human activity, such as the extraction of oil, water or minerals from underground. Buildings can also cause land subsidence by adding weight on the soil and pushing it down. But according to NASA scientist David Bekaert, some land subsidence is linked to deep natural processes over long periods of time – such as responses to activity at the tectonic plates or the retreat of glaciers from the last Ice Age. ""If we look at the data, we don't see a city as a whole, uniform society,"" he said. ""We generally see regions of hot spots where you can see parts of cities subsiding depending on what is happening."" In the western Gulf Coast, Bekaert and his colleagues found Houston to have the fastest peak subsidence rates nationwide – about 17 millimeters (0.67 inches) per year from 2014 to 2020. They found that the majority of areas affected by flooding from Hurricane Harvey back in 2017 had high subsidence rates. Meanwhile, groundwater withdrawal largely caused land sinking in the Houston-Galveston area. Parts of New Orleans are also experiencing due to natural and anthropomorphic causes. A separate study noted that land subsidence rates are highly variable across the Crescent City, ranging from 150 mm (5.9 in) to 500 mm (19.7 in) over the past 20 years. According to city authorities, shifting of underground faults is also to blame. Data from 2009 to 2012 showed the highest subsidence rates along the Mississippi River near industrial areas in Norco and Michoud – both in Louisiana – with up to 50 mm (1.97 in) of sinking annually. The Bonnet Carre Spillway, intended to reduce flood risk for the Pelican State, experienced up to 40 mm (1.57 in) of annual sinking behind it. NASA reported that the primary contributor is pumping groundwater. Meanwhile, New York City in the East Coast at a rate of one to two mm (0.04 to 0.08 in) a year, with some areas subsiding much faster. (Related:  .) The more than one million buildings in the Big Apple, including the iconic Empire State Building and Chrysler Building, were found to weigh nearly 1.7 trillion pounds – roughly equivalent to 140 million elephants. Tom Parsons, a geologist at the U.S. Geological Survey, warned that the gradual sinking makes the city extremely vulnerable to natural disasters. But geophysicist Matt Wei pointed out that the Big Apple's skyscrapers aren't the only ones to blame. ""NYC is sinking not because of the weight of the buildings. It's mainly because of the glacier rebound,"" he said. ""But there are places suggesting the weight of the buildings might have contributed to the accelerated rate."" Post-glacial rebound, the phenomenon Wei mentioned, pertains to the rise of land masses previously depressed by the huge weight of ice sheets during the last Ice Age. It is also called continental rebound, isostatic rebound or isostatic adjustment. But the Big Apple isn't the only one affected by this. The city of Norfolk in Virginia is also sinking, thanks to a crater stemming from a meteorite impact millions of years ago. Softer dirt that entered the crater has since compacted and shifted downward, causing the land around the crater to subside. But aside from this, Bekaert mentioned that groundwater pumping is also worsening the subsidence. Historically, paper mills near Norfolk did a lot of pumping – but operations ceased with new regulations. Head over to for more similar stories.

Birth rates are down massively; tens of millions of people are needlessly dead; and now the United Nations is predicting much larger population reductions by the year 2050, which Feldstein says is ""good news"" on the global warming front. ""Considering no other large animal's population has grown as much, as quickly or as devastatingly for other species as ours, we should all be celebrating population decline,"" Feldstein writes, likening human beings to animals. (Related: Last fall, Reuters flat-out as the final solution to global warming.) In Feldstein's mind, fewer people on the planet means fewer mouths to feed, which also means a whole lot more resources for the globalist ""elite"" to exploit for themselves instead of having to share it with what she perceives as worthless human cattle. Feldstein, by the way, is the ""population and sustainability director"" at the Centre for Biological Diversity, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that is committed to ""secur[ing] our planet's future,"" according to its website. The only thing about population decline that is bad, in Feldstein's view, is the fact that it threatens the current economic order, which is based on growth. ""Shifting to a model based on degrowth and equity alongside lower fertility rates will help fight climate change and increase wealth and well-being,"" she contends. There are only two options, in other words: stop reproducing and perhaps kill yourself, or kill the planet. This is the primary doctrine of the Green Cult, of which Feldstein is clearly a member. Feldstein basically lays it all out with no beating around the bush. In order for governments to meet their climate goals, they need to see more ""declining populations and ageing demographics."" Both of these things, she says ""helps to reduce carbon emissions."" One of the books Feldstein promotes in her op-ed is a work called ""The Jane Effect,"" written by Jane Goodall, that likewise calls for a massive reduction in the world's population in order to fight ""climate change."" In 2020 at the World Economic Forum's (WEF) annual meeting in Davos, Goodall called for the global population to be reduced to just 450 million people. This is 50 million people less than what was written on the now-demolished Georgia Guidestones, which stated in stone that an ideal world population for the globalist overlords to most easily exploit is 500 million. Feldstein is an acolyte of Goodall who feels similarly that the world right now is seeing ""runaway human population growth and overconsumption,"" which must be reversed in order for her envisioned ""green"" new world to manifest. ""Contrary to the hysteria being pushed by governments and the bought and paid for mainstream media, the statistics show that severe weather events are actually decreasing,"" one commenter wrote about how the very premise behind global warming, which is just a cover story excuse for promoting mass genocide, is inherently flawed. ""Wild fires are as well."" ""Carbon dioxide is not driving any change of the climate it rises or falls in reaction to the climate. The main driver of the climate is the sun and our distance from it as we orbit it."" The latest climate-related news can be found at .

Between 2020 and 2029, every last airport in the UK, excluding Heathrow in London and the two major airports in Glasgow and Belfast, will need to close its doors. Then, between 2030 and 2049, Heathrow, Glasgow, and Belfast will need to be shuttered as well – meaning no more air travel. All of this is necessary in order for the UK to obey the dictates of the Climate Change Act, which prohibits all activities that create any kind of ""emissions."" Since just about every action emits something, the climate cultists are essentially calling for the mass genocide of humanity as a final solution to climate change. (Related: NASA, climate change is actually caused by natural changes in Earth's solar orbit – it has absolutely nothing to do with eating meat or flying on airplanes.) Just to be sure that humans are no longer allowed to do anything except die after the year 2050, the Oxford and ICL scientists also want UK legislators to prohibit all new construction, including of housing and industrial facilities. ""The underlying point is that any asset which uses carbon will have essentially zero value in 2050,"" the report states about how the new ""green"" economy will work once most human activity is forced to stop. ""This in turn may encourage greater use in the run up to 2050 – for example, putting up new buildings at a much faster rate for the next 30 years, knowing that construction must then halt."" Interestingly, all of these recommendations were made in November 2019 just as the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) was first appearing in communist China. In the years following, all sorts of ""pandemic"" restrictions coupled with an ongoing ""green"" push have advanced the UK's 2050 agenda considerably. Entitled ""Absolute Zero,"" was compiled via a collaboration of scientists not just from Oxford and ICL but also from the University of Cambridge , the University of Nottingham , and the University of Bath . The UK is actually legally bound by the net zero emissions imposed upon it by the globalists via the Climate Change Act, which means the recommendations made in the report will likely have to be implemented in order for the country not to breach its prescribed climate guidelines. There is also a very strong possibility that the 2050 goals will be sped up by 15 years to occur by a 2035 deadline instead. The UK government enshrined into law back in April 2021 a new target that leaves just 12 years until all of these climate goals have to be met – including the airport closures. ""In addition to reducing our energy demand, delivering zero emissions with today's technologies requires the phasing out of flying, shipping, lamb and beef, blast-furnace steel and cement,"" the report further states. ""There are two key implications for how we live our lives: first, buildings will become much more expensive because the restrictions on building which generate substantial scarcities; second, transport will become much more expensive because the limits on air travel will generate excess demand for other forms of transport.""

Nitrogen is an element that is vital to all life forms. To the globalist-infiltrated Dutch government, however, it is a ""pollutant"" that must be eradicated. (Related: Dutch politicians exterminate 95 percent of a dairy farmer's herd in order to stop ""climate change"".) Back in the summer, Dutch farmers swarmed the streets with tractors, blocking traffic while they dumped manure piles in front of government buildings. They are at it once again with a second round of protests using similar means. ""These reductions are so severe that those rural communities will be totally devastated economically,"" warned Sander van Diepen, a spokesman for LTO Nederland. Reports indicate that the farmers whose lands are being targeted will receive monetary offers that the government considers ""generous."" They will have the option to take the cash and run or not take it and probably end up worse off without another buyer in the future. If the land in question cannot be used for farming, which makes up a sizable portion of the Dutch economy, then it is useless , economically speaking. This is what the Dutch government is hoping for: that farmers will reluctantly take the cash and give up their land without a fight. At first, it was just 600 farms that needed to go. Then that number ballooned to 3,000. Now, the latest figure being thrown out by Dutch globalists is in order for The Netherlands to reach the European Union's (EU) established climate goals. Another 17,600 farms will need to significantly reduce their livestock numbers in order to remain in compliance. Simply put, this is an absolutely insane proposition that will utterly destroy the Dutch agricultural system, not to mention the country's economy. The video below depicts Dutch farmers and their allies taking to the streets in protest of this ever-expanding climate tyranny. Police, in some cases, have come in with heavy machinery to tip over the farmers' tractors, some with farmers still inside of them. In other instances, farmers who were standing peacefully in protest were hauled off in black vans by police jackboots working on behalf of the climate cultists that infest the Dutch government. Similar police state violence occurred during the last round of protests. In , they actually fired shots at a farmer's child for seemingly no other reason than the boy was peacefully driving his tractor at one of the protest events. All of this is part of the so-called ""Great Reset"" agenda of the World Economic Forum (WEF), which has established 2030 as the year in which all climate goals must be met. This means that only about seven years remain until the completion of the globalists' vision is expected to be fulfilled. Will they achieve that goal, or will the plan crumble to pieces at the hands of a populist overthrow? ""It appears that the Dutch government reps are disgracing themselves similarly to the way the Canadian government has shamed themselves: through unconscionable acts in the lust for their wef'ed agenda to be brought to toxic fruition,"" one commenter wrote. ""I stand in support of the Dutch farmers against these wef'ed government dictating fascists."" The elimination of most humans is part of the globalists' vision for the future of their planned new world. To keep up with the latest, visit .

""Usually associated with cows burping, high levels of methane are also generated by bacteria that grow in flooded rice paddies and thrive if leftover straw rots in the fields after harvest. The message from scientists is: Rice cannot be ignored in the battle to cut emissions."" The report continued: Unlike other crops, rice paddies have a layer of standing water, so there is no exchange of air between the soil and the atmosphere, explained Bjoern Ole Sander, a senior scientist at the IRRI in Hanoi. These conditions mean different bacteria are active in rice, compared to wheat or maize fields. ""And these bacteria eat organic matter and produce methane,"" he said. So, suddenly, rice production is a problem for the planet despite the fact that humans have been growing it for centuries. Needless to say, countless Twitter users responded to the faux academic report with a mixture of humor, sarcasm, and incredulity. ""Banning rice would kill tens of millions of innocent people. I'm starting to think it's never been about saving the planet,"" one user wrote. Banning rice would kill tens of millions of innocent people. I'm starting to think it's never been about saving the planet . . . — Johnny Rotten's American Cousin (@EERCANE) ""This is sinister. Removing rice or wheat from production would trigger global famine. We need to start recognizing voices pushing this agenda so we push back on this nonsense,"" another wrote. This is sinister. Removing rice or wheat from production would trigger global famine. We need to start recognizing voices pushing this agenda so we push back on this nonsense. — WiseOldOwl (@RealAlexLucio) — slimjim (@slimjim33_33) ""Honestly we should just stop eating,"" another user said snidely. Honestly we should just stop eating. — Cody (@BlueCollarBTC21) ""'Scientists' should come up with better solutions than starving half of the planet,"" another noted. “Scientists” should come up with better solutions than starving half of the planet. — Check Mark Prime (@PrimeCheckMark) ""Oh no, rice distribution warehouses are about to start mysteriously exploding,"" another user said, likely a reference to dozens of in North America and beyond of food production facilities.

A bulk of the money Bezos plans to donate will go towards ""fighting climate change,"" he says, as well as ""supporting people who can unify humanity in the face of deep social and political divisions."" (Related: Remember when the Bezos-owned Washington Post rag men can get pregnant?) Bezos claims he cares deeply about the so-called ""American Dream"" and believes it ""will be even more attainable in the future"" if he funnels billions into climate cultism, which is one of the fastest growing religious cults in the world right now. Thanks to the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) scamdemic , Bezos and his Amazon empire raked in record profits. As small businesses were abolished through lockdowns and stay-at-home orders, Amazon siphoned all that lost business for itself. As a result, Bezos is now the fourth richest man in the world, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. And it just so happens that he is also a ""green"" adherent, having pledged in 2020 to fork over $10 billion to the so-called Bezos Earth Fund. Many have accused the space alien-like Amazon icon of being a hypocrite, though, especially since he owns a 417-foot-long superyacht that guzzles lots of fossil fuels. That superyacht is so large, in fact, that one of The Netherlands' oldest bridges has to be dismantled in order to allow its passage. As expected, CNN 's Sanchez made no mention whatsoever about Bezos' superyacht because doing so would have quickly deconstructed his greenwashing narrative. Instead, Sanchez let Bezos pretend as though he wants to save the planet to enhance the American Dream. When further asked if he believes the United States has entered a recession, Bezos was quick to deny that, stating, ""I don't know whether we're technically in a recession. Economists argue over that, and they have certain technical definitions."" Bezos did, however, admit that the economy is in really bad shape, suggesting that a recession could soon be on the way. ""What I can tell you is the economy does not look great right now,"" he said. ""Things are slowing down. You're seeing layoffs in many, many sectors of the economy. People are slowing down. The probabilities say if we're not in a recession right now, we're likely to be in one very soon."" Back in October, Bezos warned his more than five million Twitter followers to ""batten down the hatches"" in preparation for economic calamity, even though the Biden regime is insistent that everything is just fine. As you may have seen, one of the benchmark definitions of what constitutes a recession was changed to help improve public approval of the Biden regime's performance. Despite two consecutive quarters of falling GDP, which in the past would have automatically been dubbed a recession, the U.S. economy was ruled a-okay just to help Democrats ""win"" the midterm election. As for Bezos' donations to the climate cult, we will be interested to see what this entails and if the guy actually does donate most of his (ill-gotten) net worth to fighting global warming.

At the centre of the controversy lies the WEF’s “Great Reset” initiative, a bold plan to reshape economies and societies post-pandemic. Advocates argue that it represents an opportunity to address pressing global challenges, while sceptics perceive it as a Trojan horse veiling a more sinister agenda. The Great Reset’s core principles revolve around rethinking capitalism, improving global governance, and addressing environmental and social challenges. Proponents argue that it is a necessary response to the interconnected crises we face, such as climate change, income inequality, and healthcare disparities. They believe that by aligning economic systems with environmental sustainability and social equity, we can create a more resilient and just world. However, sceptics correctly raise concerns about the perceived overreach of the Great Reset. They question the motives behind its proposals, particularly the potential erosion of individual freedoms and the concentration of power in the hands of a few global elites. The calls for increased regulation and Government intervention will lead to a loss of personal liberties and economic autonomy. To understand the hidden messages within the Great Reset, a closer analysis of its language and proposals is necessary. Critics highlight certain phrases and concepts that raise red flags, such as “stakeholder capitalism,” which suggests a shift towards a more collectivist economic model. They argue that this could pave the way for increased Government control and diminish the role of free markets. Moreover, sceptics point to the involvement of influential figures like Bill Gates, who has advocated for population control measures in the past. This connection fuels suspicions that the Great Reset may be a vehicle for implementing population control strategies under the guise of sustainability. As critical thinkers, it is essential to engage in thorough research and examine multiple perspectives to form an informed opinion. While the Great Reset claims to carry the potential for positive change, this could not be further from the truth and it is crucial to oppose, and if needed monitor, its implementation and ensure transparency and accountability. By staying vigilant and demanding open dialogue, we can actively participate in shaping our collective future and ensure that it aligns with our values and aspirations. Sources: Bill Gates: A Visionary Philanthropist or a Puppet Master? Separating fact from fiction, we question whether Gates is truly a visionary or a puppet master manipulating the strings of global affairs. Allegations swirl that his immense wealth and influence are leveraged to manipulate public health initiatives to secretly reduce global population numbers. Bill Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft and renowned philanthropist, has long been a polarizing figure in public discourse. While many admire his efforts to improve global health and address pressing challenges, others raise concerns about the extent of his influence and the hidden motives behind his actions. Critics argue that Gates’ philanthropic initiatives, primarily through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, serve as a smokescreen for a more covert agenda: depopulation. They point to his support for initiatives such as family planning, reproductive health, and vaccine programs as evidence of a sinister plan to reduce global population numbers. These allegations stem from his statements and his philanthropic goals. To understand Gates’ philanthropic endeavours, it is essential to delve into the work of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The foundation focuses on addressing some of the world’s most pressing challenges, such as poverty, infectious diseases, and education. Through partnerships with governments, NGOs, and other philanthropic organizations, the foundation aims to improve the quality of life for millions of people worldwide. One of the primary areas of focus for the Gates Foundation is global health. Gates has been a strong advocate for vaccination campaigns, particularly in developing countries, aiming to combat diseases like polio, malaria, and HIV/AIDS. However, these efforts are not driven by benevolence but rather serve as a means to control population growth and make huge profits. Gates’ financial investments have also come under scrutiny. Some argue that his involvement in industries such as pharmaceuticals and genetically modified crops indicates a hidden agenda to profit from global health crises or control the food supply. Gates’ financial investments have sparked speculation and raised concerns. One area of scrutiny lies in his involvement in the pharmaceutical industry. Critics point to his significant investments in pharmaceutical companies, suggesting that his philanthropic endeavours in the field of public health may be driven by profit motives rather than solely altruistic intentions. They argue that by promoting vaccines and other medical interventions, Gates stands to benefit financially from the widespread adoption of these products. Additionally, Gates’ investments in genetically modified (GM) crops have fueled suspicions regarding his control over the global food supply. His support for GM technology is part of a broader agenda to monopolize agriculture and exert influence over the world’s food production systems. This control would grant Gates immense power and potentially enable him to manipulate food availability and prices to serve his own interests. Gates of course denies this and has publicly stated that his investments align with his goal of addressing pressing global challenges, including improving health outcomes and enhancing food security. He asserts that his financial involvement allows him to leverage resources and expertise to make a meaningful impact in these areas. But as critical thinkers, it is vital to engage in objective analysis, consider multiple perspectives, and demand transparency and accountability from all individuals and organizations involved in shaping our world. Sources: The Mysterious Role of Vaccinations: A Savior or a Silent Weapon? Vaccines, hailed as the pinnacle of modern medicine and a vital tool in public health, have unwittingly become embroiled in the depopulation narrative. Real-world evidence strongly suggests that Covid-19 vaccines are intentionally designed to harm individuals or control fertility, raising concerns among those already sceptical of mainstream institutions. We delve into the science behind vaccines, and by engaging with credible sources and scientific experts, we aim to shed light on the horrific facts surrounding vaccine-related allegations of injury and death. To understand the role of vaccines, it is crucial to examine their scientific foundation. Vaccines allegedly work by stimulating the immune system to recognize and respond to specific pathogens, preparing the body to defend itself against future infections. Prior to the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) of the Covid-19 vaccines, the development and approval process for vaccines typically followed a rigorous timeline involving several stages of research, clinical trials, and regulatory scrutiny. It is true that the average timeline for vaccine development, from initial discovery to final approval, historically took around 8 to 10 years. This prolonged timeline allowed for comprehensive and extensive testing to assess the safety, efficacy, and potential long-term effects of the vaccine candidates. The traditional vaccine development process involved various phases, including preclinical testing in the laboratory and on animals, followed by three distinct phases of clinical trials involving human subjects. Phase 1 trials primarily focused on assessing the vaccine’s safety and dosage levels in a small group of healthy volunteers. Phase 2 trials expanded the study population to hundreds of individuals to evaluate the vaccine’s immunogenicity and further assess its safety profile. Phase 3 trials, which are often the largest and most time-consuming phase, involved thousands to tens of thousands of participants. These trials aimed to determine the vaccine’s efficacy in preventing the target disease while closely monitoring for any potential side effects. During this phase, participants were divided into two groups, with one group receiving the vaccine and the other receiving a placebo or an alternative control measure. The researchers then compared the outcomes between the groups to evaluate the vaccine’s effectiveness. Following the completion of clinical trials, vaccine developers would compile and submit extensive data to regulatory bodies, such as the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the European Medicines Agency (EMA), for review and approval. These regulatory agencies allegedly rigorously scrutinize the data, including the vaccine’s safety and efficacy profiles, manufacturing processes, and quality control measures, before granting approval for public use. However, in the case of the alleged Covid-19 pandemic, the development and approval process for vaccines underwent an accelerated timeline of just a few months. The Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) mechanism allowed vaccines to be made available for emergency use before the completion of the usual lengthy regulatory process that ensured vaccines were safe for use among humans. The decision to do this was extremely questionable when we consider that Bill Gates has shares in the major Covid-19 vaccine companies and was also a major funder of medicine regulators through his foundation. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has been a significant contributor to global health initiatives, including vaccine research and development. The foundation has provided funding for various organizations involved in vaccine development and delivery, including the World Health Organization (WHO), the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. Therefore, this conflict of interest stinks of corruption as Bill Gates could have threatened to withdraw his funding to medicine regulators if they failed to grant EUA of the Covid-19 injections he had shares in to increase his return on those shares. In 2017, the UK Medicine Regulator, the MHRA, received a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation worth £980,000 to facilitate a “collaboration” between the two entities. But according to a  request answered by the MHRA in May 2021, the Gates Foundation sent funds of over $3 million to the MHRA to support “a number of projects.” While this relationship might not have raised eyebrows under different circumstances, the fact that the Gates Foundation owns shares in companies developing Covid-19 vaccines authorized for emergency use in children by the MHRA raises questions about potential conflicts of interest. In 2016,   that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation had granted them $20 million to support their initial project, which involved the evaluation of antibody combinations in a preclinical setting and the conduct of a Phase 1 clinical trial for a potential mRNA injection. Moderna also revealed that the framework agreement between Moderna and the Gates Foundation could potentially result in total funding of up to $100 million for follow-on projects proposed and approved by the Gates Foundation through 2022. As part of this agreement, Moderna is obliged to grant the Gates Foundation certain non-exclusive licenses. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation also   back in 2002 before “coincidentally” buying   in September 2019, just before the alleged Covid-19 pandemic struck. The partnership between Pfizer and BioNTech has proven to be highly profitable, as their Covid-19 vaccine was among the first to receive emergency use authorizations worldwide. This rapid approval and widespread distribution have resulted in a substantial increase in the stock prices of both companies. Consequently, the Gates Foundation’s investments in these corporations have also grown in value, adding to the foundation’s already significant wealth. The real-world evidence surrounding Covid-19 vaccines strongly suggests that they contain harmful substances and serve as a covert means to control fertility and cause depopulation. The allegations are supported by scientific evidence contained in published Government data. Ovarian Cancer –  Click to enlarge All of the above points to the potential for depopulation due to the horrific effects, discovered in the confidential Pfizer documents, that Covid-19 vaccination can have on the ovaries, fertility, pregnancy, and newborn babies. However, further figures on the incredible amount of excess deaths all but confirm that Covid-19 vaccination is a recipe for a depopulation disaster. As Governments around the world raced to coerce every man, woman and child they could to get the Covid-19 vaccine, they gave away an astounding $75 billion of taxes collected from your hard-earned money to Pfizer, a company with a dark history of offences and fines, for its experimental mRNA injection. This massive investment was allegedly made in the name of public health, but real-world data strongly suggests otherwise. However, it should come as no surprise considering our health and well-being were left in the hands of a company that has caused significant harm to the public in the past. The data provided to the   and   by official Government departments points to a significant increase in excess deaths since the rollout of Covid-19 vaccines in the USA, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, the UK and half of Europe.  This surge in excess deaths raises concerns about the safety and efficacy of the vaccines, especially considering the drastic differences in excess deaths before and after the vaccine rollout. Data  across Europe highlights a striking correlation between the European Medicine Agency’s (EMA) extension of the emergency use authorization for the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine to children aged 12 to 15 and the subsequent increase in excess deaths among children across Europe.  Excess deaths among children aged 0 to 14 across 27 countries across Europe, including the UK, France, Spain, Italy and most of Germany, increased by 760% up to week 12 of 2023 following the European Medicines Agency extending the emergency use authorization of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine to children aged 12 to 15.  Transparency in vaccine development, regulatory processes, and post-marketing surveillance is essential for building public trust and fostering informed decision-making. It is also vital to respect individual autonomy and provide accurate information to empower individuals to make informed choices regarding their health and well-being. Transparency and Accountability: Demanding the Truth In a world rife with distrust and scepticism, the demand for transparency and accountability becomes more pressing than ever. When it comes to the allegations of depopulation under the guise of “saving the planet,” the lack of openness and clear communication raises legitimate concerns among those questioning the motives of powerful institutions and individuals. The World Economic Forum (WEF) and Bill Gates, are undeserving influential figures in global affairs and should be subject to rigorous scrutiny and independent investigations. Serious questions about the transparency surrounding their initiatives and their commitment to sharing reliable data and unbiased analysis have been raised. These calls for greater transparency aim to shed light on the true intentions behind their actions and mitigate suspicions of a hidden agenda. One aspect that sceptics highlight is the need for comprehensive data and evidence to support claims made by the WEF and Bill Gates. Without access to reliable information, it becomes challenging for the public to evaluate the validity of their statements and initiatives. Transparency regarding the sources of data, methodologies used for analysis, and potential conflicts of interest is crucial to instil trust and ensure that decisions are based on sound evidence rather than hidden motives. Independent investigations can play a vital role in addressing concerns and validating or debunking suspicions. These investigations should be conducted by reputable organizations or individuals with expertise in relevant fields, free from any potential biases or conflicts of interest. Such inquiries can provide objective assessments of the actions and agendas of the WEF and Bill Gates, helping to uncover any hidden motives or confirm their commitment to the betterment of society. Furthermore, open dialogue and critical thinking are essential in navigating complex issues and understanding different perspectives. Encouraging discussions that invite diverse viewpoints allows for a comprehensive exploration of the subject matter. By fostering an environment that respects the principles of intellectual rigour and informed debate, individuals can weigh the evidence and arguments presented, helping them form their own conclusions. It is important to note that promoting transparency and demanding accountability is a call for clarity, evidence-based decision-making, and the protection of individual rights and well-being. The aim is to ensure that the actions and initiatives of powerful entities align with the best interests of the public and are subject to scrutiny when necessary. In conclusion, the demands for transparency and accountability are essential in addressing concerns surrounding the alleged depopulation agenda. By advocating for independent investigations, access to reliable data, and unbiased analysis, individuals can actively engage in the process of evaluating the intentions and actions of the WEF and Bill Gates. Emphasizing critical thinking and open dialogue enables the exploration of different perspectives, empowering individuals to make informed decisions and safeguard their own futures. Conclusion: The Power of Discernment and a Call to Action In a world yearning for truth and authenticity, critical thinking emerges as a powerful tool. While scepticism surrounds the intentions and actions of the World Economic Forum and Bill Gates, it is crucial to approach the subject with an open and discerning mind. By conducting an extensive analysis of the evidence, relying on credible sources, and fostering constructive dialogue, we navigate the murky waters of conspiracy and unveil the potential truth. Ultimately, we empower individuals to shape the world they inhabit by relying on facts rather than conjecture, armed with knowledge and critical thinking. As we conclude this exploration of the alleged depopulation plan by the World Economic Forum and Bill Gates, it is essential to emphasize that the journey toward uncovering the truth requires an ongoing commitment to transparency and accountability. While suspicions and scepticism may persist, it is crucial to separate baseless conspiracy theories from substantiated claims, relying on evidence-based analysis and rigorous examination of available information. Moving forward, it is imperative that we demand transparency from institutions and individuals who wield significant influence over global affairs. The establishment of independent oversight mechanisms and the release of comprehensive data can help alleviate concerns and rebuild trust. By holding the powerful accountable and promoting an open dialogue, we can collectively shape a future based on truth, fairness, and justice. In conclusion, the alleged depopulation plan propagated by the World Economic Forum and Bill Gates is a matter that warrants serious consideration and examination. By maintaining a commitment to seeking the truth, promoting transparency, and encouraging responsible discourse, we empower ourselves to navigate the complex landscape of global affairs. It is up to each individual to engage critically, challenge assumptions, and contribute to a better world based on justice, equality, and the pursuit of truth.

Its editorial board is also celebrating ""health-care professionals participating in Extinction Rebellion action [who] blocked the entrance to the U.K.'s Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy to protest about impotent responses to climate change."" Health care, The Lancet  said, is ""part of the climate problem"" because ""the global health-care industry emitted two gigatons of carbon dioxide (CO2), or 4.4 percent of the world's total"" in 2014. This, we are told, demands immediate action in the form of aggressive climate activism within the medical community. This is the same The Lancet that recently proclaimed ""medical racism"" in the United States to be another pressing issue that can only be solved by dismantling the ""structural violence"" that allegedly persists across the nation. (Related: Remember at the height of the COVID scamdemic when The Lancet published, , a fake science study claiming hydroxychloroquine [HCQ] causes heart disease?) Concerning climate change, The Lancet pointed to operating rooms ""overflowing with trash generated by disposable sterile supplies and surgical equipment,"" as well as ""parking areas filled with private transportation reliant on fossil fuels, and constant energy flow to digital monitors and other technologies."" Interestingly, the journal also identified pharmaceuticals as a climate issue as well since most of them are made from so-called ""fossil fuels,"" which are really just God-given earth fuels that exist in abundance beneath the surface of the planet. What The Lancet is concerned about is not so much these fuels themselves but the ""carbon"" they produce. The climate cult, as you probably know, is obsessed with carbon and believes it to be something ""evil,"" even though all life is made from carbon. One way The Lancet suggests to combat all this carbon is for doctors to stop participating in free drug samples programs, which will ""help reduce medication overuse and reduce the carbon impact when samples go unused."" Another idea presented by The Lancet is for doctors to stop starting patients on 30-day drug courses and instead try a one-week supply approach, ""even at the cost of some convenience to the doctor and patient."" It sounds silly – and it is – but this is what has become of the journal, which in days of old was widely considered to be the gold standard of medical science. The Lancet has clearly been infiltrated and taken over by climate lunatics, just like governments, academia and even Wall Street have. Hilariously, The Lancet also wants doctors to start engaging in a ""green informed consent"" program that ""incorporates education about the climate impact of pharmaceuticals and climate change health hazards."" Patients are to be indoctrinated with climate propaganda every time they see their doctor or get a prescription, in other words. This will give patients the ability to ""choose to decline a medication, or they might choose to accept the medication and pursue carbon offsets."" All in all, The Lancet wants doctors everywhere to become ""climate activists in their daily clinical practice"" – yes, this is a direct quote from the journal. ""Health care professionals have an important part to play in reducing the carbon emissions of health care by dispensing only needed medications and by helping to ensure that those are used to their fullest potential,"" the journal said.

This, we are told, will cool down the icecaps. In order to make this happen, ironically enough, some 175,000 jet flights per year would be necessary – which means a lot of polluting jet fuel will need to be burned. Millions of tons of these toxic chemicals will also float around before eventually setting onto the icecaps and into the water, causing untold harm to sea life – but at least the planet would be a little cooler, maybe. ""Under the plan, a fleet of 125 military air-to-air refuelling tankers would release a cloud of microscopic sulphur dioxide particles at an altitude of 43,000ft (13km) and latitude of 60 degrees in both hemispheres, roughly equivalent to the Shetland Islands in the north, and the Falklands in the south,"" reports explain. ""The particles would slowly drift towards the poles on high-altitude winds, slightly shading the Earth's surface beneath."" If the planes can successfully deposit at least 13 million tons of particulate matter into the skies in spring, by summer the polar regions would reduce in temperature by about 2 degrees Celsius ""with more moderate cooling at mid-latitudes."" The number of flights it would take to accomplish this feat is the equivalent of the entirety of global air traffic combined over the course of more than two days – not to mention the greenhouse gases deposited into the upper atmosphere. It is one thing for greenhouse gases to accumulate in the lower atmosphere, but it is a whole lot worse, we are told, for that to happen way up high where airplanes fly. So would this not defeat the entire point, based on official global warming dogma? Those in favor of the proposition say no because less than one percent of the entire global human population lives in the areas where sun-blocking aerosols would be sprayed. And the costs associated with the project, amounting to nearly $11.5 billion annually, are somehow less than carbon capture technologies. ""If the risk-benefit equation were to pay off anywhere, it would be at the poles,"" says Wake Smith, who led a study about the spraying plan. ""Any intentional turning of the global thermostat would be of common interest to all of humanity."" Smith and other climate alarmists insist the planet has become too hot, especially at the poles. Eventually, they say, the world will reach a tipping point, resulting in rising sea levels that flood out places like Martha's Vineyard where the Obamas live. ""We are right there, right now,"" claims Sir David King, a former government chief scientist and founder of the Centre for Climate Repair (CCR) at the University of Cambridge . ""The idea is to buy time while we reduce greenhouse gas emissions deeply and rapidly. That's essential. If we keep on emitting at the current rate, we are cooked."" Shaun Fitzgerald, the director of CCR, agrees. He says all that burned jet fuel is worth it to stop warming at the poles because he and his colleagues are ""worried about the impacts"" of climate change ""right now,"" while the jet fuel impact would have a longer-term effect.

Backup IP: http://45.89.97.6 This site uses cookies " unreliable,"The Dutch government’s claim that nitrogen is a “pollutant” relies on the same junk science fiction as vaccines and climate change – NaturalNews.com Jaap Hanekamp does not accept his that nitrogen is polluting the Dutch environment, requiring that cattle farmers kill off their herds in order to create a ""green"" utopia. Such ""science,"" Hanekamp says, does not hold any weight. In fact, it is junk science in every sense of the term, much like the claim that carbon dioxide (CO2), which plants need in order to grow, is a ""pollutant."" ""We now treat farmers as polluters, end of story, which is a very strange perspective,"" Hanekamp says, pointing out that Dutch government officials invent their own definitions and use fake expertise to push the notion that farming and raising food is somehow killing the planet. Hanekamp, by the way, works as an associate professor of chemistry at University College Roosevelt in Middleburg. Anyone who knows anything even rudimentary about gardening knows that nitrogen is a key input for plant growth. Without it, plants will die, which means no food for animals, which means no food for humans. ""Nitrogen chemicals are nutrients,"" Hanekamp says. ""You need them for growing plants."" The Dutch government, however, disagrees. In 2019, a corrupted Dutch court ruled that new livestock facilities could not be constructed because of nitrogen emissions, which supposedly impact Dutch nature reserves. ""In dunes, bogs, and heathlands, home to species adapted to a lack of nitrogen, plant diversity has decreased as nitrogen-loving grasses, shrubs, and trees move in,"" the court decided. Hanekamp is of the persuasion that the Dutch government has become so obsessed with nitrogen that it excludes everything else from the equation that might affect nature, including something as simple as the location of groundwater in a given area relative to the surface. Another environmental factor being completely ignored by the Dutch government is natural ecosystem shifts, which are being erroneously categorized as human-caused ""damage."" ""Is a change in biodiversity bad in itself, or is it just change?"" Hanekamp asks. The irony of The Netherlands focusing so much on trying to keep everything pristine is the fact that the country would not even exist in the first place were it not for advanced technology. Much of the country's land is artificial, residing below sea level, and is only habitable because of the ingenuity of man. With that in mind, if the Dutch government really wants to go natural, then perhaps the country needs to be plunged back underwater where it can cease to exist? This is not to say that The Netherlands should not practice good stewardship of the land – of course, it should. But to demonize nitrogen as some kind of environmental bad guy is simply foolishness, and Hanekamp has had enough of it. He recently co-authored a paper with William Briggs describing the many problems with the Dutch government's anti-nitrogen arguments and position. ""All of a sudden, farmers are the problem? How about politicians?"" asked one commenter at The Epoch Times . ""The new world order is the problem. To eat or not to eat? The thinning of the population is very possibly the goal."" Another wrote that the Dutch government is not trying to save the environment from ""pollution,"" but rather using this as an excuse to grab land, bankrupt the country, and fulfill Agenda 2030.

In fact, if the people at the top bought into the notion that human emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) are really “pollution” producing a “climate crisis,” they would be doing exactly the opposite of what they’re actually doing. Examining climate policy and communist China proves the point. Consider the UN  . Negotiated at the 21  Conference of the Parties (COP21) in Paris in 2015, the global deal calls on national governments to make their own national pledges about what they force on their populations to combat the alleged “climate crisis.” Under the deal, the Obama administration unilaterally pledged to slash CO2 emissions in the United States by more than 25 percent by 2025. This was to be imposed on Americans through executive orders and federal regulations to avoid involving Congress. Other Western governments made similar promises. The Chinese communist regime, by contrast, was already emitting far more CO2 than the United States and now spews more than the entire Western world combined by far—and yet it pledged only to keep  its emissions for the next 15 years. Seriously. In its submission to the UN ( ), the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) agreed “to achieve the peaking of carbon dioxide emissions around 2030.” In other words, the regime proudly announced to the world that its CO2 output would continue to grow for at least 15 years, at which point nobody will even remember the Paris pledges. When I asked members of the Chinese delegation for comment at the UN summit, instead of responding, they sent one of their minions to follow me around the conference and take pictures of me, something I promptly reported to UN security and the French police. It’s a good thing for the CCP that nobody will remember its promises by 2030, because virtually every analyst who has looked at the regime’s coal-fired power-plant construction binge has acknowledged there’s no way its emissions will “peak” by 2030. Communist promises have never been worth the paper they’re printed on anyway, as history has shown. The CCP wasn’t kidding about increasing its emissions, though: Beijing is currently bringing more coal-fired power plants online just between now and 2025 than the United States has  . According to Global Energy Monitor’s February 2021 briefing ( ), the CCP built more than three times as much coal-power capacity as the rest of the world combined in 2020. And it already has about half of all the world’s coal power capacity, according to Global Energy Monitor’s “ .” Already, China emits more than twice as much CO2 as the United States, according to   from the Global Carbon Project. Its emissions are rising meteorically even as U.S. emissions and emissions from other Western nations continue to plunge. In 2021, Americans released about 5 billion tons of CO2, while China released about 11.5 billion. If current trends continue, the CCP may release more CO2 than the rest of the world combined in the not-too-distant future. Think about this. If one was truly concerned about CO2 emissions producing “climate hell,” as world leaders claimed at the latest UN “climate” summit in Egypt that I attended, they would be panicking, not celebrating. Again, all of the production being moved out of the West and into China will result in vastly more CO2 entering the atmosphere than if that production had remained in the United States, Canada, or Europe. And yet, Western governments, tax-funded climate activists, UN leaders, and their media allies all celebrated and continue to celebrate the Paris Agreement and subsequent follow-ups as a huge success in saving the climate. Perhaps Donald Trump was on to something when, in 2012, he wrote on  , “The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.” That’s exactly what happened, of course, as electricity rates got pushed higher and higher over time. In 1975, electricity was averaging around 3 cents per kilowatt hour, helping U.S. industry remain competitive globally. By 2010, thanks in part to Obama’s policies,  . And by 2021, it was approaching 15 cents. For perspective, electricity prices in China are about half that. There are many reasons for the shifting of production from the United States to China—many of them directly related to U.S. policy—but one key factor has been the cost of energy. Yet higher energy prices were openly touted as a policy objective by Obama. As he   with the San Francisco Chronicle, “under my plan … electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.” Later that year, he expressed similar sentiments as gas prices soared to around $4, saying only that he would have “preferred” a “gradual adjustment” instead. Faced with higher labor costs and a tougher regulatory environment, American companies and entrepreneurs were already struggling to keep production in the United States amid a rigged global trading regime benefiting the CCP at America’s expense. Soaring energy costs in many cases pushed firms over the edge, forcing them to shift production to China or shut down in the face of Chinese competition. Again, if you truly believe CO2 is pollution, the worst possible outcome of “climate” negotiations would be to transfer even more production to China, where CO2 emissions per unit of economic production are massively higher. But this is precisely the result of the much-celebrated UN “climate” process. The shift into so-called “renewable energy” being engineered by the Biden administration and federal policymakers has been and will continue to be a huge boon to the CCP, too—and not just because it will force prices higher while making the U.S. energy grid more unstable. Almost 80 percent of solar cells produced in 2019 were made in China, according to Bloomberg data ( ). The CCP dominates production in the wind sector and battery industries as well. It also controls the supply chain for rare-earth materials needed to produce all of these “green energy” products. The U.S. government, for its part, is offering massive subsidies to these CCP-dominated industrial sectors while forcing Americans into dependence on them through regulations, mandates, subsidies, and other policies. How this is supposed to help the environment is never made clear. For some perspective on the economic carnage inflicted on America by Obama’s Paris scheme, which he claimed was an “executive agreement” and thus not subject to Senate ratification as required by the Constitution, the Heritage Foundation   study. Among other findings, the conservative-leaning think tank said Obama’s Paris pledges would increase electricity costs for a family of four between 13 and 20 percent annually while vaporizing almost half a million jobs, including around 200,000 in manufacturing. That damage translates to about $20,000 in lost income for American families by 2035 and a reduction in GDP of over $2.5 trillion. Who benefits from all this? Certainly not the “climate.” Again, shipping U.S. industry to China will result in more CO2 in the atmosphere, not less. And in any case, based on the UN’s own debunked “models,” complete elimination of all U.S. CO2 emissions would result in virtually no reduction in global temperatures. According to a peer-reviewed paper by   published in the Global Policy journal, even if all the significant pledges made in Paris were fulfilled, global temperatures would be just 0.05 degrees C (0.086 degrees F) cooler by 2100—a statistically insignificant rounding error. The big winner, of course, was the CCP, which has been laughing all the way to the bank as it absorbs the factories, jobs, and wealth production that U.S. and other Western authorities are shutting down to “save the climate.” This appears to be deliberate, as statements by leading officials in the Obama administration and the UN have made clear. Obama’s “Science Czar” John Holdren openly advocated a de-industrialization of the United States in his 1973 book “Human Ecology.” “A massive campaign must be launched to restore a high-quality environment in North America and to de-develop the United States,” Holdren and his co-authors wrote. “De-development means bringing our economic system (especially patterns of consumption) into line with the realities of ecology.” Then consider seemingly   made by then-UN Executive Secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change Christiana Figueres. Speaking to Bloomberg a few months after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau  , Figueres claimed that the regime in Beijing—overseeing about one third of global CO2 output—was “doing it right” on climate policy. In separate comments while pushing for major climate policies, Figueres also suggested the goal of “climate” policy was really economic transformation. “This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time, to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the Industrial Revolution,” she   on Feb. 4, 2015. Five years before those comments, one of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s top officials, Ottmar Edenhofer, revealed a similar agenda in   to Germany’s NZZ Online. “One must say clearly that we redistribute de facto the world’s wealth by climate policy,” he said. “One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has almost nothing to do with environmental policy anymore.” Wealth redistribution? Changing the economic model of the world? De-developing the United States? And here Americans are being told this is about “saving the climate.” Remember, too, that when Trump withdrew from the Paris agreement, climate alarmists from around the world  —the same regime that oversees the most CO2 emissions, is building coal plants faster than they can be counted, and that promised to keep increasing CO2 emissions until 2030. If this is really about saving the climate from CO2, how can the CCP be the new leader? It’s beyond absurd. Despite all this,   “cooperation” on “climate action” and the Paris Agreement with Beijing, no doubt causing amusement and joy among members of the CCP’s Politburo. It’s not just China that benefits. In fact, congressional researchers   that state-backed Russian energy interests were funding U.S. “green” groups opposed to U.S. energy via a shell company in Bermuda called Klein Ltd. The regime in Venezuela, too, is laughing all the way to the bank as the Biden administration sabotages U.S. energy and  . To be clear, I don’t begrudge the CO2 emissions of China or anyone else. In fact, many scientists have told me that more of this “gas of life” would be enormously beneficial for the planet and humanity. Retired Princeton physics professor Dr. William Happer, who served as Trump’s climate adviser, told me years ago at a climate conference we both spoke at that the planet needed more CO2 and that plants were designed to live in an atmosphere with quite a bit more CO2 than the planet currently has. Plus, human emissions of CO2 make up a fraction of 1 percent of all the so-called “greenhouse gases” present naturally in the atmosphere. To summarize, if one truly believes that CO2 is bad for the climate, shipping U.S. production and industry to China is the worst possible way to deal with it. Logically, then, the policymakers behind this must have an ulterior motive. Of course, the CCP loves the Paris deal: They do nothing but build more coal plants to power the industries and factories fleeing America for China as the U.S. government forces the United States to commit economic suicide. This isn’t just an economic or “climate” issue, either. As the United States is “de-developed,” the economic destruction produces a major threat to national security. A strong military can’t be funded without a strong economy, obviously. It’s time for lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives to shut down the administration’s “climate” policies that do nothing but expand CCP CO2 emissions and harm the United States.

The proposal, which aimed at cutting down carbon emissions, will directly affect three major air routes: between Paris and Orly, Paris and Lyon and Nantes and Bordeaux airports. Reports said and decrease the journey duration could also cancel routes from Paris and Rennes to Lyon and Marseille. The said move is seen to take several months to take effect and should last for three years initially. A review of its effectiveness will be done after two years. The move was lauded by government officials, including France's Transport Minister Clement Beaune, who called the move a ""major step forward."" He remarked: ""I am proud that France is a pioneer in this area."" Moreover, French MEP Karima Delli of the Green Party called it a ""victory"" for environmental campaigners, but insisted that ""the threshold must be raised to four hours, and above all, include private jets in the ban."" As expected, the independent global campaigning network Greenpeace highly approved the initiative. ""The French ban on short-haul flights where quick train connections exist is a baby step, but it's one in the right direction,"" said Thomas Gelin, the organization's European Union climate campaigner. Meanwhile, the EC dismissed the protests lodged by French airports and airline lobbyists against the decision. Critics says that the new rule will not have much of an impact on the environment because air traffic on the routes had considerably declined since the pandemic shutdowns. But the EC said in its report that ""unquantifiable environmental benefits may nonetheless be generated since air carriers potentially interested in operating these routes will be prevented from doing so.""

Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) recently grilled Haalan on the matter, probing her for some kind of logical answer as to why the Biden regime is killing off the American economy and how this can possibly be good for the American people, the vast majority of whom did not vote for this kind of thing. In the following video, Haalan is seen and heard explaining to Hawley how it is better for the health of the planet if Americans lose their jobs, along with their economic stability, while starving in feudal poverty – all while communist China gets all the jobs, all the companies, and all the industries. ""Jobs for blue-collar workers in this nation are valuable resources. The livelihood and well-being of American families are valuable resources. The ability of America to have our own industry and not be dependent on China is a valuable resource. Why should those things, for millions of Americans, be sacrificed in favor of your agenda for radical climate change?"" Hawley asked Haalan, to which she responded: ""Senator, I know that, uh, there's, like, 1.9 jobs for every American in the country right now. So, I know there's a lot of job ..."" It was at this moment that Hawley laughingly interrupted Haalan to ask her if she was really suggesting that there are somehow too many jobs available in the country, to which she responded: ""Well, I'm saying that we don't have enough people. That's why we are having a hard time finding folks to work in our department."" (Related: Don't forget that everything the Biden regime is doing in the name of stopping ""climate change"" is that actually benefits communist China at our country's expense.) The exchange continued with a flabbergasted Hawley pressing Haalan a second time about her suggestion that there are too many jobs in America right now, which somehow justifies exporting more of them to communist China away from the American people. Hawley explained that over the last 20 years, more than three million American jobs were outsourced to China – and many of these were higher-paying blue-collar jobs that are no longer available to working-class Americans in need. ""Senator, we are working hard every single day. There are, we have processed 20 mining applications – 20 mines or mining modification permits since January of 2021 – we are moving forward, we are doing our jobs, we are fulfilling our mission ..."" Hawley once again interrupted Haalan to clarify that she was lying about approving more mining permits. In truth, the Biden regime is doing the exact opposite of what Haalan claimed during the hearing. ""You're not moving forward; you're moving backward,"" Hawley stated unequivocally. ""You're shutting down and denying permits for mines in this country where we can develop our own resources. You're shutting down oil and natural gas permits. You're approving taxes and royalties that deliberately suppress American energy development in favor of a climate agenda, and now you're sitting here telling me that there are too many jobs in this country."" ""I want to take the strongest possible exception to that comment, and to that entire mentality, which I think reflects the mentality of your administration that when it comes to blue-collar workers in this country, you're on your own – good luck.""

Al Gore said that people’s actions had turned Earth’s atmosphere into an “open air sewer” for greenhouse gases. “People are familiar with that thin blue line that the astronauts bring back in their pictures from space? That’s the part of the atmosphere that has oxygen, the troposphere, and it’s only five to seven kilometers thick. That’s what we’re using as an open sewer,” Gore said. Gore then compared the global warming effects to the nuclear holocaust in Japan during World War II, which he claimed was making our oceans boil and creating rain bombs. “We’re still putting 162 million tons [of greenhouse gas] into it every single day and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the earth,” he said. “That’s what’s boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating the droughts, and melting the ice, and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees!” he continued.

This book went so far as to claim that around half of all living species on Earth could disappear by the end of the century. (Related: .) On Sept. 27, 2022, Kolbert was granted the Fourth Biophilia Award for Environmental Communication ""for her extraordinary ability to communicate in a rigorous and attractive manner , climate change and the biodiversity crisis, to a wide global audience."" The Biophilia Awards are organized by the non-profit foundation of the Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria (BBVA), the second-largest bank in Spain and one of the largest financial institutions in the world. The BBVA Foundation's committee that gave Kolbert the Biophilia Award made reference to ""The Sixth Extinction"" and how it ""documents the dramatic loss of species the planet is suffering"" and how it has become ""an internationally renowned work,"" having been translated into more than 20 languages. ""The robust scientific solvency and literary excellence of her work exemplify how specialized journalism can contribute in a fundamental manner, both to disseminate the best scientific knowledge about the world's great environmental challenges and to sensitize and make society aware about the need to act in order to confront them,"" wrote the BBVA Foundation in its award.

""Climate change was being covered as if it was up for debate among the scientific community, with some researchers for and others against,"" she said. In the face of hearing climate skeptics, Kolbert wants to use her platform to drown these voices out and amplify other so-called scientific experts who can help her convey the message that ""climate change is real and is going to affect us all."" Kolbert herself admits that the task of retaining people's interest in talking about climate change matters has become a daunting one, describing it as ""a bit of an uphill struggle."" But due to organizations like the BBVA Foundation, Kolbert has the funding to keep pushing environmental stories out.

Funny enough, Nat Geo lectures its readers about their “carbon footprint” and instructs readers to think about how much time they fly, while doing the exact opposite in their pursuit of global mega-donors. National Geographic is slowly being bought out by globalists who seek to plunder sovereign nations, promote their own interests, and advance their own enterprises. In order to achieve their goals, the globalists need obedient media outlets to and mass hysteria. Nat Geo is the perfect publication to ramp up climate hysteria and appeal to people's interest in nature. In this way, globalists can exploit the natural world and corporatize environmental issues for their own gain. To do so, they will buy up once-respected publications like the National Geographic so they can instill fear in populations and compel changes to governments on a global scale. Nat Geo jets their elite donors around the world on trips that cost roughly $100,000. According to National Geographic, their “specially outfitted jet” offers a “plush, sleek interior design and features “comfortable VIP-style leather seating” for their largest donation partners. The jet also offers a private chef and a “dedicated luggage handler.” Elite donors can “fly in exceptional comfort” as they visit “far-flung destinations” to encounter “legendary wildlife. These trips include the $108,000 “Wildlife of the World by Private Jet” tour, which takes the elite on a trip to see elephants in Malaysia, Bengal tigers in India, mountain gorillas in Rwanda, exotic marine life in over-water bungalow in the Maldives and back to Rome. These elite excursions include trips to the coral reefs, the same coral reefs, we’re told, that are dying off because of man-made climate change. These same globalists never address the real issues that are causing damage to the natural world. For instance, Nat Geo claims that the coral reefs are dying off because of “climate change.” But , coral reefs are harmed by sunscreen chemicals like oxybenzone. The same globalists who push climate change hysteria don’t care about the real causes of  environmental issues. They can travel the world in their private jets, get together at their summits to virtue signal to the world about “climate change” -- while polluting the air with hundreds of times the emissions that an everyday person would use. These elites travel about 30,000 miles during these 24-day “expeditions.” If these jets produce an average of 53.3 pounds of carbon dioxide per mile, then these needless excursions emit more than 1.5 million pounds of carbon dioxide. According to carbon research, the average American puts out a yearly carbon footprint of approximately 32,000 pounds. These needless excursions put out the equivalent carbon footprint that 47 Americans put out in an entire year’s time. Currently, Nat Geo has 16 more excursions scheduled between now and the end of 2024, and they have no plans of stopping. They don't care how much they are being bought off, and they obviously don't really , which they pretend to champion.

This was exposed by reporter Jack Anderson ( ),  , and the Pentagon Papers in the  New York Times . America and the world woke up to the possibility that weather engineering could be part of invisible warfare, producing cloud cover, droughts, storms, or floods. Large-scale weather manipulation may be a reality today. And, while the world stands deeply divided on climate change, Dane Wigington, the founder and lead researcher of   (GEW), is determined to expose the immense danger to the future of our planet that he alleges. He has been studying covert climate ops for over 20 years, scouring government and military documents, reviewing film footage, and performing atmospheric data testing. Most concerning, he says, is the fact that scientific inquiry on the subject is being censored and critical data suppressed. Wiginton recently produced  , a documentary alerting the public about the serious implications for the atmosphere, human health, and ecosystems. He alleges that geoengineers aim to put 10m-20m tons of nanoparticles into the skies annually. Like fine ash from large volcanoes, these particles block out the sun. Wigington states that they are being sprayed into the atmosphere from aircraft, like the iodides used for artificial rain, and leave ubiquitous chemtrails, which are explained away by complicit scientists and media as contrails (or condensed vapor trails from aircraft). But Wigington, who says he has studied the contents of the trails, rejects the explanation: he says condensation is limited at flying altitudes because of low humidity, and it s impossible for condensate to block out so much solar energy. Chemtrails, he says, play a major role in this ongoing interference with the atmosphere. For the past few years, Wigington and his colleagues have collected video footage of aircraft with visible nozzles being turned off and on and even uncovered films of World War II B-17s turning off a sprayed dispersion. They have sampled particulate matter from below, above, and through the confluent layer of haze emitted by large jets at 40,000 feet. They have detected significant and growing amounts of aluminum, barium, and strontium that linger and expand into cloud cover. Extraordinarily powerful radio frequency microwaves are then used to manipulate the cloud cover loaded with nanoparticles, Wigington says. Higher frequencies heat the loaded cloud cover, creating pressure zones in the upper levels of the atmosphere that steer wind currents to move air masses and maneuver weather systems. Lower frequencies cool the air and calm it down. Such climate engineering operations are also saturating our atmosphere with light-scattering particles that alter the light spectrum, its quality, and intensity. This affects photosynthesis and plant health. With the ozone layer damaged as a result, this also exposes the earth and its inhabitants to high levels of radiation –  . Wigington explains that aluminum particles are highly reflective and reduce direct sunlight.  They are also desiccants that reduce atmospheric moisture and relative humidity, disrupting the hydrological cycle. GEW researchers allege that these stratospheric sulfate aerosols have caused a build-up of light-scattering particles in the atmosphere, creating a dimming effect. These reckless experiments – a global enterprise – are causing untold damage to the planet and human health. Precipitation has allegedly increased 10-30% as a result. Over 50 countries are involved independently in the creation of this Frankenstein s monster – Australia, India, Russia, Thailand, South Africa, and of course  . Wigington points to the appearance of   in Beijing in 2009, the earliest recording of snow in 22 years. Apparently, the city s Weather Modification Office had resorted to cloud seeding by dropping silver iodide into the atmosphere to cause water vapor to crystallize at lower temperatures than normal. GEW has researched the manipulation of hurricanes through frequency transmission, patented processes which have existed for quite some time. In fact, weather modification patents run into the hundreds. They call for seeding of storms from above by aircraft, after which ground-based frequency transmission facilities can increase precipitation in some areas and decrease it in others. Project Cirrus as early as 1947, tried to modify a hurricane. The project was a collaboration between General Electric, the U.S. Army Signal Corps, the Office of Naval Research and the U.S. Air Force. In that first attempt, the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Group flew along the rainbands of a hurricane and dropped 180 pounds of crushed dry ice into the clouds. The subsequent change in the hurricane s direction was blamed on the seeding, but later, in the face of lawsuits, human intervention as a causative factor was denied. There have been more projects since, trying to weaken cyclones and disrupt hurricanes, but to cover up, they were dismissed as ineffective. GEW, however, has captured footage of hurricanes steered by using radio frequency transmitters to manipulate particulate matter sprayed from aircraft. It also has NASA satellite images showing the manipulation of cyclones off the west coast of Africa. The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP), a $330 million military project to explore electromagnetic warfare capabilities, was designed to achieve the goals laid out in   (2020) and  .  Initially, its  :  HAARP is a scientific endeavor aimed at studying the properties and behavior of the ionosphere, with particular emphasis on being able to understand and use it to enhance communications and surveillance systems for both civilian and defense purposes.” The part after the comma has since been  . The government claims to have shut down the project in 2013, but many suspect it is still in operation for weather control – to cause earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, and disrupt communication systems. All of this sounds like science fiction – human beings playing G-d to control the weather.  Is climate engineering destroying the climate cycle, the ozone layer and bombarding forests with intense UV radiation that is killing the planet s flora from the top down?  Has it been responsible for altering upper-level wind currents that alter the ocean currents?  Is the planet more electrically conductive because interventional ionization of the atmosphere is causing more lightning and igniting more fires? Wigington and his researchers at GEW strongly believe all of that is true. Are he and his researchers credible?  They believe that it s climate engineering – not climate change from human activity – that s destroying the planet.

Backup IP: http://45.89.97.6 This site uses cookies " unreliable,"COVID emergency, climate emergency: Same thing – NaturalNews.com (Article by W. Aaron Vandiver republished from ) Biden has  , but so far he has declined, to the disappointment of many progressives. The United Nations (UN) has   to declare a climate emergency. The state of Hawaii and 170 local US jurisdictions have declared some version of one. So have 38 countries, including   members and the UK, and local jurisdictions around the world, together encompassing about 13 percent of the world’s population. Hillary Clinton was reportedly   if she had won the 2016 election. A “climate emergency” is in the zeitgeist. Those words were surely uttered by the billionaires, technocrats and corporate CEOs attending the recent World Economic Forum (WEF)  . But what does it actually mean for the president of the US to officially declare a “climate emergency?” Most people don’t realize that under US law, a national emergency declaration triggers a set of emergency powers that allows a president to act without the need for further legislation. The   compiled a list of the 123 statutory powers that may become available to the president upon declaration of a national emergency (plus 13 that become available when Congress declares a national emergency). The scope of these powers is difficult to summarize, except to say that if exercised to their maximum extent, they potentially encompass vast areas of American life. For civil libertarians across the political spectrum, from left to right, a “ ” should be a focus of concern. Even environmentalists who may instinctively and understandably support the idea should be worried about the potential for the   that arose during   to overtake climate policy. One can believe in protecting and preserving the planet, as I do, while insisting on environmental policies that are consistent with democracy, civil liberties, and human rights. Elements of the left and right should be coming together to reject demands that we sacrifice democratic norms, rights, and freedoms for flimsy promises of safety from political and economic elites who seek to exploit a crisis — a cynical ploy that COVID-19 thoroughly exposed. Recall that it was President Trump who issued a COVID-19 “ ” declaration on March 13, 2020. This was accompanied by “public health emergency” orders at the federal and state levels, and by the World Health Organization (WHO), which unleashed an intense phase of lockdowns and a tsunami of health-and-safety rules and restrictions — many imposed on the public in circumvention of the normal democratic process. Before that, I might have supported a “climate emergency” without a second thought. Now, after three years of lockdowns, mandates, censorship and other heavy-handed policies, the trust is gone. The leaders pushing for a new emergency who have failed to repudiate the abuses of the last one — even those with the purest of intentions regarding the environment — have lost credibility. Many others feel the same way. We need to know exactly what a “climate emergency” really means. So what would an official “climate emergency” look like? Just like the “COVID-19 emergency,” it would be far-reaching, with potentially dramatic effects on the economy and society. Emergency measures may even cause serious harm to the environment — while failing to meaningfully  . Even if you tend to pay attention to climate-related issues, the implications of a “climate emergency” may surprise you. How would a ‘climate emergency’ even work? Environmental advocacy groups such as the Center for Biological Diversity have   to invoke specific emergency statutes that would give him the power to: The Center for Biological Diversity says that these emergency powers would allow Biden to put the U.S. on the path to “jettison the fossil-fuel economy and burgeon a just, anti-racist, and regenerative America in its place.” However, there are many reasons to doubt such grandiose claims. Numerous energy and materials experts, including the well-known analyst  , have concluded that a rapid transition to “green” energy may not even be possible. Further, the Biden administration would probably not take steps to quickly phase out fossil fuels at the risk of crashing the economy. As   noted its  : “The faster the transition [the] more volatile inflation and economic activity.” If Biden exercised his emergency powers, he would most likely use them to fast-track “green” energy projects while stopping far short of serious efforts to phase out fossil fuels. The   already set the precedent: It included hundreds of billions of dollars for “green” energy subsidies and   to fossil-fuel development. This play-both-sides approach would obviously do little to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, which rose globally to 52 billion tons in 2022 (including about 36 billion tons of carbon) from 51 billion tons in 2021. Even if Biden fully exercised the emergency powers identified by the Center for Biological Diversity, this would have little effect on emissions. Climate experts who must speak on the condition of anonymity to “ ” admit that “while a climate [emergency] declaration is important in terms of media attention and galvanizing the climate movement, it does not have significant impacts on carbon pollution.” When you look at the wish lists of the   and   members who want Biden to declare a “climate emergency,” and the demands of the many activists who say we must reach “net-zero” emissions by 2050, the emergency powers listed by the Center for Biological Diversity barely scratch the surface of what most say is needed. The big question is, what else will the government be tempted to do to reach net-zero by 2050 — a goal Biden already directed the US government itself to reach via   — once a “climate emergency” has been initiated? Elizabeth Kolbert, a leading climate journalist, recently wrote an article “ ,” published in the  New Yorker . Here’s what she says must happen to reach net-zero by 2050: “All of this should be done — indeed, must be done,” Kolbert wrote. “Zeroing out emissions means rebuilding the U.S. economy from the bottom up.” All of that must be done? We must “rebuild the US economy from the bottom up?” What does it even mean to “revamp” the airline industry, or “refashion” the fertilizer industry or “eliminate” emissions from the farming industry? In reality, most of those things cannot be done. They certainly cannot be accomplished within any reasonable exercise of presidential emergency powers. If a president attempts to directly intervene in industry after industry to accomplish these unrealistic goals — or pretends for political reasons to be trying to accomplish them — a “climate emergency” could gradually expand in scope to unimaginable proportions, unless reined in by the Supreme Court or the political process. These are not idle concerns. The pressure on the government to do something now is immense and growing, with the slow-moving democratic lawmaking process increasingly seen as an obstacle. A 2021 report by Deutsche Bank said that we may have to accept “ ” to reach net-zero by 2050. The UN has suggested countries are moving too slowly, leaving us with no option but the “rapid transformation of societies.” And Inger Andersen, executive director of the  , said, “only root-and-branch transformation of our economies and societies can save us from  .” “Getting to zero will be the hardest thing humans have ever done,”  , who is heavily invested in numerous climate-related businesses, wrote in his  . Gates added: “We need to revolutionize the entire physical economy — how we make things, move around, produce electricity, grow food, and stay warm and cool — in less than three decades.” Many want the president to use his emergency powers to get started right now, without waiting for Congress to act. But this would be a dangerous misuse of federal emergency powers, which were not intended to give the president an end-run around Congress, as senior director of Liberty & National Security at the Brennan Center for Justice  . Nor were emergency powers designed to address a complex long-term challenge like climate change. Once emergency powers are invoked, the temptation will be to expand them. The only way President Biden or a future president could reach for any kind of significant, broad-based climate goals using his existing emergency powers, Goitein said, would be to “stretch them beyond all recognition, using them in legally dubious ways Congress never intended … the idea that emergency powers are infinitely malleable is both false and dangerous.” How a ‘climate emergency’ could infringe on civil liberties and human rights How worried should we be that a “climate emergency” intended to “rapidly transform” our entire society by 2050 — which would be the 80th national emergency in US history — might gradually expand in scope to infringe on basic civil liberties and human rights? A 2018 article in the  Atlantic , “ ,” warned of nightmarish scenarios that could ensue if President Trump abused his emergency powers. “The moment the president declares a ‘national emergency’ — a decision that is entirely within his discretion — he is able to set aside many of the legal limits on his authority,” the article warned. “The president can, with the flick of his pen, activate laws allowing him to shut down many kinds of electronic communications inside the United States or freeze Americans’ bank accounts,” and much more. We can certainly hope that a “climate emergency” would not morph into such a dangerous scenario. Historically, most national emergency declarations have been benign. Yet the “COVID-19 emergency” initiated on Trump’s watch and carried on by Biden has unfortunately set a new and troubling authoritarian precedent that cannot be ignored. Nowhere is that precedent more apparent than in the lingering notion of “locking down” the population. In October 2020, University College of London economics professor  , who chairs an economics council for the WHO, published an article expressly raising the possibility of “climate lockdowns” to address a “climate emergency.” Mazzucato wrote: “In the near future, the world may need to resort to lockdowns again — this time to tackle a climate emergency. … Under a ‘climate lockdown,’ governments would limit private-vehicle use, ban consumption of red meat, and impose extreme energy-saving measures, while fossil-fuel companies would have to stop drilling.” What these “climate lockdowns” would amount to is various forms of “green austerity” — strict limits on consumption and personal behavior — imposed on the population. This is a real possibility — not a conspiracy theory (despite the  ). Far from being fringe, Mazzucato’s article about “climate lockdowns” as a response to a “climate emergency” was published by a website,  , that receives funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and other influential organizations that vigorously supported COVID-19 lockdowns. The article also was endorsed by the  , a “CEO-led organization” that represents 200 of the world’s largest corporations. Mazzucato is only one of many climate policymakers who want to harness the extraordinary technocratic/authoritarian powers that were used during COVID-19 “lockdowns” to fight climate change. For example, a paper published in the journal  Nature Sustainability  cited the “window of opportunity provided by the Covid-19 crisis,” arguing that “  could be succeeded by personal carbon passports.” “Carbon passports,” along with  , central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), social-credit scores and other means of tracking and restricting consumption, travel, diet and personal behavior are routinely   and other elite technocratic organizations. Worries about “carbon passports” take on added urgency in light of the recent G20 conference, which resulted in   to establish a system of digital vaccine passports for international travel, to be administered by the WHO. How might such restrictions be incorporated into American law and life? There are various ways: legislation, agency rulemaking, international treaty, city ordinance. A “climate emergency” is a powerful legal tool that could conceivably be used to impose “green” restrictions on the public in circumvention of the normal democratic lawmaking process, particularly if a presidential administration comes under pressure to stretch its emergency powers beyond their intended purpose. Recall that it is not just presidents who can trigger a state of emergency. The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), state governors and the WHO all have the power to declare a “public health emergency” within their respective areas of authority. This is exactly what happened in early 2020, illustrating how a future “climate public health emergency” might take shape. What happens if global, federal and state officials declare a ‘climate public health emergency’? It was not only President Trump’s national emergency declaration that led to lockdowns and so many other abuses of power and violations of basic rights during COVID-19. His order helped establish the framework for emergency governance, but other “public health emergency” orders were crucial. The WHO declared COVID-19 to be a “ ” on Jan. 30, 2020. This move triggered a coordinated global response and had wide-ranging repercussions. The next day, Trump’s HHS secretary declared a COVID-19 “ ,” an order that has been repeatedly renewed and is still in effect. Trump’s subsequent   on March 13, 2020, endorsed that order while authorizing HHS to exercise additional emergency powers. Three days after that, on March 16, Trump issued the “ ” that advised Americans to “avoid social gatherings in groups of more than 10,” which served as a basis for the lockdowns that swept the nation. Governors of each state issued their own public health emergency orders, too. State public health agencies operating under those emergency orders were instrumental in enacting lockdowns, school closures, mask mandates, vaccine mandates and other “emergency” policies in cooperation with federal agencies and the  . It is not far-fetched to think that the WHO, HHS and state public health agencies could eventually declare a “climate public health emergency,” following the COVID-19 script. There have already been calls for the WHO to officially  .” At the direction of an  , HHS recently established an  . “We will use the lessons learned from COVID-19” to address the effects of climate change on the nation’s health, said HHS Assistant Secretary for Health Dr. Rachel L. Levine. The WHO and major public health organizations — including the American Public Health Association (APHA), the American Medical Association (AMA) and top medical journals — already have declared climate change a “ .” The  Lancet  called climate change “the biggest global health threat of the 21st century.” We do not yet know if or when this “public health crisis” will turn into a full-fledged “public health emergency.” If it does, think of all the extraordinary powers that public health agencies claimed in response to the COVID-19 emergency, extending even to an   that grossly exceeded the agency’s lawful authority. Now imagine those administrative powers applied to a new, even broader and much more long-lasting emergency that plausibly touches on so many different aspects of human health. The public health leviathan is preparing to expand its powers in  , just as it did with COVID-19. We cannot predict how this effort will fare in the years ahead. The WHO may or may not declare climate change a “public health emergency.” HHS may refrain from doing so, pursuant to recent   limiting the ability of federal agencies to address “major questions” like climate change without clear Congressional authorization. Politics, of course, will play a huge role. At this point, we simply do not know how a “climate public health emergency” will play out, but in the wake of COVID-19, it remains a serious concern. How ‘green’ is green energy, really? Despite the risks to democratic governance and civil liberties outlined here, those who support a “climate emergency” can at least claim that they are doing what is necessary to kick-start the “green” energy revolution that will save the planet, right? Not so fast. A small environmental group called  , which opposes a major lithium mine in Nevada, pointed out that   that are “fast-tracked” under a “climate emergency” would not only have access to streamlined federal financing, they might also be permitted to skip environmental review and compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act, the Endangered Species Act, the Clean Water Act and the Clean Air Act. This would be a replay of the “emergency” mode of governance established during COVID-19 when products privately owned and developed by   were fast-tracked through the federal approval process. In both cases, large corporations would be using an “emergency” to bypass legislative safeguards put in place to protect human health and the environment. Indeed, there is a very strong case to be made that fast-tracking a massive build-out of “green” energy would immediately make a range of environmental problems much worse. The book  , by three environmentalists, methodically picks apart arguments that solar, wind and other “green” energy technologies are clean, renewable or good for the planet. Even to find sufficient quantities of minerals for “green” energy to be developed at scale, mining companies may begin “ ” — some have already applied for permits — which ocean ecologists fear could annihilate ocean ecosystems. Mining for lithium and other metals at a large enough scale would also have to take over vast areas of  , worsening the global  . Due to exploding demand and  , mining companies have a strong incentive to mine every available source, without regard to ecological damage. Climate activists and progressive politicians seem to believe that this collateral damage to the environment is a small price to pay for a “green” economy, which will ultimately save more of the planet than it destroys — but there are reasons to be skeptical. Geology Professor Simon Michaux, PhD, for instance, concluded there are   and other resources on Earth to build economy-wide “green” energy technologies and infrastructure. And of course, it remains doubtful that “green” energy is even capable of powering the growing global economy, which still gets  . Even under a “climate emergency,” for the foreseeable future, we will most likely be stuck with the environmental damage caused by both fossil fuels and “green” energy. Missing from the conversation about a “climate emergency” is a broader understanding of how ecological damage to soil, water, forests, biodiversity and ecosystems drives climate change and interrelated environmental problems. As activist Vandana Shiva, PhD, explained, the   is a main driver of climate change due to land use change, agrochemical pollution, monocultures, and other unecological methods. Yet there is little talk of using emergency powers to shift to local, agroecological or traditional food systems. Just the opposite. All signs indicate that the US and other world governments want to expand the reach and control of the globalized industrial food system, further concentrating power in the largest   corporations. Governments around the world are using environmental goals to   as they promote dependence on industrial technologies and factory foods that could make climate change and other  . We see the same shortcomings in the blinkered concept of “net-zero,” an accounting scheme formulated with the heavy input of corporate interests, which Shiva calls “corporate greenwashing.” “If we continue to reduce the climate narrative to simply an issue of reducing carbon emissions to ‘net zero’ without understanding and addressing the other aspects of greater ecological collapse,” Shiva said, “climate chaos will only continue.” A “climate emergency” as currently conceived would, if anything, exacerbate these negative trends. It would further centralize power, enrich corporate interests, treat ordinary citizens with a heavy hand and perversely cause immediate harm to the natural world — without significantly slowing down climate change or leading to genuine sustainability. Would government officials use a ‘climate emergency’ to let Bill Gates ‘dim the sky?’ As if all the above were not worrisome enough, there is one final thing that the US government operating under a “climate emergency” might try to do — something that has unparalleled potential to end in ecological disaster. Another  New Yorker  article — this one by the country’s foremost climate activist, Bill McKibben, who has led the charge for a federally declared “climate emergency, warns, “ .” McKibben’s article is about “solar engineering” —   into the stratosphere — to cool down the planet. Scientists funded in part by Gates have been studying the issue. The White House   also recently announced a five-year study to assess “solar and other rapid climate interventions.” “The scientists who study solar engineering don’t want anyone to try it,” writes McKibben. But according to him, “climate inaction is making it more likely.” Notice McKibben says, “climate inaction” makes “dimming the sun” more likely. That sort of logic can go on interminably. There will always be “climate inaction,” at least for the foreseeable future, because the global economy has no realistic path to significantly reduce its carbon emissions. “ ” the growing global economy remains a pipe dream. The potential side effects of “dimming the sun” are mind-boggling. They include turning the sky from blue to white and plunging entire regions of the Earth into ecological chaos. ‘Left’ and ‘right’ must collaborate to pursue alternatives to a ‘climate emergency’ As I have tried to demonstrate, an official “climate emergency” has enormous implications. Activists who are pressing hard for an emergency declaration may not completely understand what they are asking for, and those in opposition may not fully realize what they are up against. This issue should not be framed as a dispute between “deniers” and “believers” in climate change. The prospect of a wide-ranging and long-lasting emergency mode of governance should prompt serious questions from everyone across the political spectrum. These questions include: Only a political coalition consisting of elements of the left and right can find viable alternatives to a “climate emergency” as currently conceived. The political pressure to do something about climate change — even things that make no sense — will surely intensify in the coming years. A populace that sees no other option may very well embrace some version of  ,” as much of the public did during the pandemic. Elements of the left and right should be trying to build political alliances based on the preservation of democracy, civil liberties, human rights, local control, community values and nature itself — forests, rivers, grasslands, oceans, air, soil, wilderness and wildlife — as an alternative to the centralized command-and-control of society. One major cause that a left-right coalition could get behind is local, small-scale, organic agriculture — healthier and much friendlier to the environment than the globalized industrial food system, which is responsible for  , and by some estimates, a  . Small-scale organic agriculture also is good for family farmers and small business owners, and more conducive to local food security in a time of global instability and economic uncertainty. Building resilience to the environmental challenges of the future, while defending the population from powerful economic and political forces that seek to exploit a crisis, is a project that more people from across the political spectrum might be able to agree on. That lesson should have been learned during the COVID-19 fiasco. In contrast, most “green ‘thought leaders,’” writer   observed, have “a worldview which treats the mass of humanity like so many cattle to be herded into the sustainable, zero-carbon pen. If you’re wondering where you’ve heard this story before, just dig out your dirty old covid mask. It will all come flooding back.” We can do better than that. An effective political coalition will hopefully strive for a consensus that realistically addresses the environmental challenges of the 21st century while serving as a counterweight to the drive for centralized control under the guise of emergency governance. Otherwise, the “zero-carbon pen,” in Kingsnorth’s turn of phrase, awaits.

Citing Lund University professor and eco-terrorism proponent Andreas Malm, the article attempts to make the case that destroying public and private property is a powerful way to save the planet from global warming. ""The task for the climate movement is to make clear for people that building new pipelines, new gas terminals, opening new oil fields are acts of violence that need to be stopped – they kill people,"" Malm is quoted as saying on Bloomberg 's ""Green Zero"" podcast. ""We shouldn't engage in assassinations or terrorism, or use arms and things like that. But until that line or boundary, we need virtually everything ... all the way up to sabotage and property destruction."" (Related: The New York Times similarly as the ""most effective"" way to prevent environmental ""breakdown"".) Climate terrorism is already spreading like wildfire across Europe. In Marseilles, for instance, climate terrorists destroyed a cement factory because they believed it was releasing too much carbon dioxide and warming the planet. In London, climate terrorists threw tomato soup at a Van Gogh's ""Sunflowers"" painting as part of a ""Just Stop Oil"" protest. There are not too many of them to begin with across the pond, but SUVs throughout Western Europe are turning up with flat tires as climate terrorists protest other people's use of larger vehicles, which they see as ""gas-guzzlers."" These types of things please Malm, but he craves more destruction. According to him, this is only the beginning of what climate terrorists should be doing every day to stop all use of the earth's natural energy, i.e., natural gas and oil. The good news is that many governments are increasing the penalties and punishments for climate terrorism. Just Stop Oil activist Jan Goodey was recently sentenced to six months in prison for disrupting a major London motorway, while a few months earlier a climate terrorist named Deanna ""Violet"" Coco received a 15-month prison sentence for blocking a lane of traffic on the Sydney Harbour Bridge for 28 minutes. ""That's what always happens when you escalate,"" Malm said smugly on the Bloomberg broadcast. ""As soon as you pose a danger to the system, this is what you'll get in return. And that's a sign that you're doing something good, that you are actually challenging some interests."" In the comments, one reader wrote that he would like to see the punishments for climate terrorism become even more severe. ""Sentence them to 25 years minimum of extreme hard labor, or make them food for hungry animals,"" this person wrote. ""No animal should ever have to go hungry,"" he added jokingly. Another wrote that true ecological activists who simply oppose needless environmental destruction have had their movements hijacked by communists who are running huge propaganda efforts to keep We the People fighting among ourselves as opposed to joining forces against these communists and their violent plans for the world. ""They are masters of destruction and of propaganda that dupes the masses into fighting among themselves instead of uniting to solve problems for everyone's benefit,"" this person wrote.

(Article republished from ) Unfortunately, the Seattle Times continues to provide unfactual information, with screaming headlines and stories that can easily be shown to be incorrect. This disappointing behavior by Seattle's only newspaper was obvious on Tuesday (see below). A blaring, big-type headline heralded that "" DATA CONFIRMS THAT WARMING IS WORSENING FLOODS, DROUGHT "". And in the subtitle, they double down:  "" WHAT HAD BEEN AN EXPECTED CONNECTION IS BACKED UP BY A NEW STUDY "" As I will demonstrate below, these claims are unfounded.  The study does not confirm anything.   And the ""expected connection"" subheadline is very revealing of the editorial approach of the Seattle Times. The article The article, like so many stories in our  local  newspaper, was a reprint of a Washington Post article (by Kasha Patel):   A WARMER WORLD CAUSES EXTREME DROUGHT AND RAIN.  INDISPUTABLE NEW RESEARCH PROVES IT. When a reporter describes research as ""indisputable"" you know they have little understanding of the scientific process.  Science is ALL about disputing and questioning each other's facts and interpretations. The  ""indisputable"" information in question comes from a single new research paper "" Changing intensity of hydroclimate events revealed by Grace and Grace-FO "" by Mathew Rodell and Bailing Li of NASA Goddard and published in the journal  Nature Water. This article describes the measurement of the Grace satellites, which can measure the water content of soils from space.   Importantly, they only analyzed the period 2002-2021.   Their whole claim of a global warming signal is based on two observations:  the last few years had several droughts/heavy rain periods, and the earth has been warming over the past decades. Therefore, global warming/climate change is probably the cause.  Correlation proves causation.  Poor science logic (see below). Courtesy of  Why these claims are wrong Let me begin with something that should be obvious:  you can't determine a global warming/climate change signal with a 20-year record--it is not long enough. There are many natural sources of climate variability:  El Nino/La Nina with a period of 3-7 years, the Pacific Decadal Oscillation with a period of 20-30 years (see below), and others. So with all these natural sources of variability of precipitation, temperature, and other variables, it is very difficult to pull out a global warming signal over shorter time periods (several decades or less), particularly since the global warming signal is relatively small and slowly growing.  Note:  it is generally accepted that the Earth has warmed by approximately 1.2°C over the past 150 years. The Pacific Decadal Oscillation goes between warm and cool phases. A closer look at the paper itself reveals several serious additional issues.  Let me show you a few. Below is the key figure of the publication.    The extreme hydrological events sensed by satellite are shown by colored dots.    The black dashed line shows the monthly ""intensity"" of the extreme hydrological events, essentially multiplying the number of events by their intensity. The paper (and the Seattle Times/WA Post article) highlight that the number and intensity of extreme events have risen. However, the increase in the intensity of extreme hydrological events has been limited to THE LAST THREE YEARS ONLY.  That is true for the number of ""events"" as well.   What was global warming doing during the previous 15 years?   On vacation? In short, there is no longer-term trend in extreme hydrological events that would make you think that global warming/climate change was the cause.  Virtually no change from 2002 through 2018. This is a substantial problem for their hypothesis They also plot the change in global mean temperature on the lower panel.  You can see a small warming (about 0.2C) over the 20-year period, with 2016 being the warmest year. The change in extreme hydrological events (abruptly increasing only in the last few years ) is very different from the trend of the global temperature (distributed over the entire period),  undermining the authors' claim that global warming might be the cause. You will note that the warmest year 2016, did not have more extreme events.  Furthermore,  their plot shows little evidence that the intensity of the extreme events has increased. Considering the above, does it seem likely that the Washington Post is correct in claiming that the research proves that the forcing of hydrological extremes by global warming is ""indisputable""?  Of course not. In fact, the evidence provided in this paper is so thin that a weather researcher (Daniel Swain) is quoted saying: ""  I think if this were just coming out of the blue and this is the only evidence we had that hydroclimate extreme was becoming greater in warming climate, it wouldn't be super strong evident unto itself "" Finally, the Seattle Times does not allow comments on stories from outside sources (such as the Washington Post).    Obviously, this allows them to publish questionable information without anyone being able to question or comment on it.  They do the same thing for their cartoonist, David Horsey, who continuously provides exaggerated and unfounded claims regarding climate. Newspapers  should not  be in the advocacy business. They  should  be in the business of communicating facts and where there is controversy, both sides of the debate.

One of the ISD’s focus areas is to monitor those who question or contradict the establishment climate narrative that there is global warming due to man-made carbon dioxide emissions. On June 9, the ISD published a 115-page report entitled  Deny, Deceive, Delay: Documenting and Responding to Climate Disinformation at COP26 & Beyond. COP26 (Climate Change Conference 26) was the United Nations climate change conference that took place last year between October 31 and November 13 in Glasgow, United Kingdom. At least 120 world leaders and over 40,000 registered participants, including 22 274 party representatives, 14 124 observers and 3 886 media representatives flew there to discuss how people could be made to emit less carbon dioxide. MICHAEL SHELLENBERGER is an American author and democratic politician, including a gubernatorial candidate in California. He has been named “Hero of the Environment” by the news magazine Time and is a winner of the Green Book Award. Shellenberger has been called by the establishment “environmental guru”, “climate guru” and “North America’s leading public intellectual on clean energy” and “high priest” of the environmental movement. After he changed his mind, he is now singled out as one of six people that the globalists especially emphasize as a threat to their climate narrative, not least because he comes from their own ranks. Photo: Michael Shellenberger The climate conference was held at a time when many governments around the world had far-reaching travel restrictions that made it almost impossible because of forced medical experiments, to allow the public to fly or otherwise travel. The ISD’s report is interesting insofar as it partly shows who it sees as its main opponents and how these are monitored, and partly also that it practically admits that the globalists’ and climate alarmists’ scaremongering about global warming has failed. The ISD, their contributors and their report from June revealed some interesting facts. War room setup The report begins with a glossary where various keywords are defined. The first three are “Anti-vaxx/Anti-vaccine/Vaccine skeptics”, “Climate denial” and “Climate skepticism”, which much of the report revolves around. “Far left”, which is one of the words, is described as underdeveloped. Supposedly, extreme left “groups in contemporary Western societies are much less developed than those surrounding the extreme right”. The extreme right is described as having “the following characteristics: Nationalism, racism, xenophobia, anti-democracy and advocates a strong state or authoritarianism”. On ISD’s website, where the report is available for download, we can read what the purpose of the report is and how it was done: In the executive summary, we describe the most salient discourses identified before, during and after COP26. These stories show how the climate conversation has moved from outright climate denial to delay and distraction from action. These narratives infiltrate the public debate, positions for climate action are anchored in a broader individual identity and politics of grievance, [which] are emerging as a new front in the culture war. This report is a collective effort to quantify the problem and create concrete answers in the coming months and years. Created by ISD, CASM Technology and the Climate Action Against Disinformation Alliance (CAAD), it is a data-driven examination of the landscape, actors, systems and approaches that combine to prevent climate action. PETER IMANUELSEN was born in 1994 in Norway and currently lives in North Yorkshire, Great Britain. He lived in Sweden during the years 1996-1999 before the family moved to the USA. They returned in 2002, but left again in 2004 according to the family (formally in 2009 according to the Tax Agency). Sweden’s very negative attitude towards home schooling and later ban in 2010 is said to be the reason why the family left Sweden. Imanuelsen describes himself as a Swedish freelance journalist, but has British citizenship, which is less known. Today, he is singled out by the globalists as a dangerous and frequent “criminal” and a “super-spreader” of errors and misinformation. His Twitter account PeterSweden (@PeterSweden7) has 335 800 followers at the time of writing. Photo: Peter Sweden Thus any proper scientific debate about the climate is viewed as a “culture war”. Contributors to ISD’s report were the Center for Analysis of Social Media Technology, Conscious Advertising Network (CAN), Climate Nexus, Eco-Bot.Net, Friends of the Earth, Purpose, Stop Funding Heat and an organization with the telling name of Reset Australia. Special recognition goes to individuals Paula Matlach, Kata Balint, Cecile Simmons, Sara Bundzten, and Melanie Smith for their efforts in ISD’s Climate War Room. Critics have wondered why they need a “war room” to defend their claims about climate change. Some have argued that the truth stands on its own two feet, while the lie must be protected by propaganda and legislation. Climate propaganda has failed The summary of the ISD’s report consists of 16 pages and states with ill-concealed frustration that what they consider to be “misinformation” and “disinformation” on social media in every way surpasses what they call “verified content”, i.e. the opinions offered. Even worse from their point of view is that this happens even when the tightly held and censored platforms of the tech giants work to promote the fake climate narrative of the globalists. In short, the ISD can be said to have conceded defeat in the establishment’s propaganda war against the populations of Europe. ISD writes how they go about measuring the impact on the internet and who they consider a threat to their climate narrative, and that they admit that these opponents, despite a rigged game plan, have defeated them. We can read that “From October 31 – November 12, 2021, ISD tracked posts produced by Facebook’s Climate Science Center [official climate science center] and attempted to compare these against accounts that have registered as climate skeptics, such as Breitbart London, Spiked Online, Net Zero Watch, GB News and the Heartland Institute. Internal dissent The report then identifies several of the dissenting voices they call “super-spreaders” of climate misinformation, acknowledging that they often come from scientific or academic backgrounds. We read that “Network analysis by Graphika [analytics company that uses AI to monitor online activity] of 16 accounts ‘super-spreaders’ of climate misinformation on Twitter revealed 13 subgroups, largely converged around anti-science and conspiracy communities in key countries (US , UK, Canada). Many influencers [opinion makers] in this space usually come from scientific or academic backgrounds and some were previously involved in the green [environmental] movement. From 25 October to 21 November 2021, tweets and quote-tweets from the 16 accounts mentioned above garnered a total of 507 000 likes and retweets (‘interactions’) on the climate narrative alone. This includes individuals such as Michael Shellenberger, John Stossel, Björn Lomborg and Patrick Moore”. The globalist think tank thus admits that those they call “anti-scientific” and conspiratorial are not only scientists themselves, but also from the green movement that the globalists created to advance their agenda. That is, the people who once trumpeted the globalists’ narrative and then realized for various reasons that it was wrong. Generally speaking, it usually takes a lot for a political activist, for the few who get involved at such a level, to choose to change sides. One of these is none other than Greenpeace icon and co-founder Patrick Moore. In a startling interview last November, Moore decimated the establishment’s climate narrative on alleged global warming. He explained how he left Greenpeace when he felt that the globalist-controlled environmental movement had “abandoned science and logic in favor of emotion and sensationalism”. He alleged that supposed science and unverifiable claims were being used to deceive the public that there was a “looming climate catastrophe”. The former climate activist unequivocally declared: “The last thing we need to worry about is the world getting too warm” and that “It’s obvious that’s not true”. His words that must have alarmed top level globalists. Swedish blogger singled out Already in the report’s table of contents, six names are listed in alphabetical order, which are considered extra troublesome, and which are then reviewed on the following eight pages. The first is, interestingly enough, the Swedish freelance journalist and blogger Peter Imanuelsen who writes and tweets under the pseudonym “Peter Sweden”. ISD described the Swede as a representative of a counter-movement against the globalists’ broader agenda and already in the first paragraph the report tries to vilify him. On page 65, four of Imanuelsen’s allegedly malicious tweets are reproduced, one of which, dated November 4, 2021, reads as follows: “I am more concerned about global tyranny than global warming. Tyranny is happening right now before our eyes.” About Imanuelsen, the ISD whines that “the repeated framing of climate action as ‘communism’ or ‘global tyranny’ may also prove an underlying subtle anti-Semitism, to tie into recent conspiracies such as The Great Reset that play on making ‘Jewish elites ‘ to scapegoats”. The infamous book and globalist manual, COVID-19: The Great Reset, is curiously described in the report as a “conspiracy”, despite the fact that it was written by none other than Klaus Schwab, the founder and chairman of the powerful globalist organization World Economic Forum. The globalists are also upset that “Peter Sweden” is retweeted by several famous people. They mention, among others, Thierry Baudet, party leader of the Dutch Forum for Democracy, Martin Daubney, deputy party leader of the British Reclaim Party, Monica Crowley, former US deputy finance minister, and Australian senator Malcolm Roberts. Imanuelsen responded to the claims on his blog on June 17. He noted that “the report is being made to …/ press Big Tech to carry out even more censorship of dissidents”. He added: “The fact that the climate fanatics are trying so hard to try to censor and deplatform me for my views only proves my point that they are communists. If you want to censor people’s free speech, you are a communist and promote dictatorship – not democracy.” ...

It did a whole lot more than that, though, having given away $5.1 million to 44 ""ultra-ambitious"" climate extremist groups in 2022 alone. When we say ""ultra-ambitious,"" what we mean are groups in the business of illegal vandalism. While technically non-violent just so long as no actual people are harmed, such illegal vandalism is still a form of violence against society – and truth be told, people have died as victims of climate-related terrorism. Whether or not CEF funded those particular violent events is still for investigators to solve, but what we do know is that this kingpin climate entity ""has quickly become the ATM that radical environmental activists turn to in order to fund their latest disruptions,"" according to Caitlin Sutherland, executive director of the conservative watchdog group Americans for Public Trust. ""And as their destruction increases, so should the scrutiny on who is bankrolling the Climate Emergency Fund and their ties to more mainstream environmental groups that might disagree with these over-the-top and dangerous tactics."" (Related: No matter how many times they repeat the lie, .) One violent group that took in cash from CEF and used it for questionable and illegal purposes is Declare Emergency, the members of which believe that earth-based ""fossil"" fuels like oil and gas are inherently ""genocidal"" and ""criminal."" In an effort for people to hear this bizarre belief publicly, Declare Emergency staged a paint-smearing campaign across the display case of a sculpture at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Another group called Just Stop Oil made similar headlines last fall when its members splashed tomato soup on a Vincent Van Gogh painting, estimated to be worth $84 million, at London's National Gallery. For the past several days, members of Just Stop Oil have been blockading traffic in streets all across the United Kingdom. None of this would be possible without funding from the CEF, which appears to be the primary enabling group behind public acts of climate terrorism. CEF is also bribing individuals through grants to shut down schools for a month in protest. ""One wonders if kids aren't going to school because they are being paid not to, is this really a 'protest' movement?"" Dr. Robert Malone wrote on his Substack. ""As the Climate Emergency Fund is paying activists to defile great works of art, shouldn't Climate Emergency Fund be responsible for the restoration to repair the damage to these priceless works of art? As the Climate Emergency Fund is paying activists to damage parliament, shouldn't they also be responsible for repairing the damage?"" It would seem as though the CEF is more than happy to pay for causing all this damage, but is never around to pay for its cleanup and restoration. It is almost as if the CEF is a terrorist organization posing as a philanthropic ""charity"" group. The CEF's is loaded with damning information about who is on the financial take from this organization. Why law enforcement is choosing to ignore this illegal activity and allow it to continue is a question without any answer. Malone asked: ""How can this organization maintain their non-profit status, as by all appearances, they are financing illegal activities?""

Is that necessary?” du Plessis-Allan asked. Cook replied, “In the current climate crisis I don’t think that that’s necessary.” The host then quizzed Cook on the details of her previous plane trip. Climate change activist Izzy Cook tells everyone not to travel to places like Fiji by plane to save the planet and then is asked where she flew last… she flew to Fiji. Interviewer can’t stop laughing at her ?? — ???? KC 3.0 ???? (@KCPayTreeIt) “Mm, I’m not sure – maybe a few months ago to be honest,” she said. “Where’d you go?” the host asked. “Fiji,” Cook conceded. The host couldn’t help but burst out laughing. Of course, now that the activist and her hypocrisy have been exposed, the media is rushing to   that she is being “bullied.” By using children as human shields for their agenda (they did it with Greta for years), climate change groups can protect themselves against criticism by claiming anyone who questions their propaganda is attacking minors. This “do as I say, not as I do” attitude is also common to virtually all ‘climate activists’, the vast majority of whom come from privileged backgrounds and enjoy lives of luxury while telling everyone else to make sacrifices.

He called on people to ""change the way they think about water,"" to the point of claiming that ""drinking recycled sewage is the future."" To back up his call, Bevan pointed out that many parts of the U.K. are likely to run on short water, especially considering its dry, hot summer. Interestingly, Bevan is connected to Klaus Schwab's World Economic Forum. ""We will need to be less squeamish about where our drinking water comes from,"" he said, adding that people should treat water ""as a precious resource"" and not as free goods. Part of the solution, Bevan added, will be to reprocess the water that results from sewage treatment and turn it back into drinking water that is perfectly safe and healthy. However, this ""toilet-to-tap"" water is not something many people will want to drink. ""Green"" advocates are nevertheless promoting this ""environmentally friendly"" initiative amid water shortages and rationing caused by droughts. In the U.S., to making recycled sewage water a reality. The drought-stricken Golden State has already begun discussions about implementing this kind of technology as droughts continue to plague large areas of the country. Brad Coffey, water resources manager for the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, said there's been a health legacy where sanitary engineering practices and regulators called sewage a waste – something to be avoided and feared. However, with new technology now available, the regulators and the scientific community have much greater confidence in their ability to reuse the water supply (Related:  .) Under consideration by city authorities are the ""direct potable reuse"" of water, which varies from ""indirect potable reuse,"" where recycled water is placed with environmental barriers such as underground aquifers or reservoirs before they are consumed by humans. This type of recycling was unthinkable a few decades ago. In the 1990s, when California agencies worked on taking advantage of wastewater to replenish groundwater in San Gabriel Valley and Los Angeles, community groups brought lawsuits against the projects, citing the risk of adverse environmental impact. However, as drought conditions worsened, opposition to such projects ""softened."" There are now two under development in Los Angeles County: one is a $3.4 billion plant at the Joint Water Pollution Control Plant in Carson, California, while the other is a $16 billion plan called ""Operation Next,"" which plans to purify almost all of the wastewater that is processed by the Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant. Coffey said it is their goal to turn the largest discharge of treated wastewater in Southern California into an engine for groundwater replenishment. ""That's in an attempt to interrupt, break the snowpack-dependent water cycle of much of California and much of the West that's threatened by climate change,"" he said. However, there are still challenges that remain in implementing such ambitious initiatives, most notably with the centralized structure of sewer systems. Pacific Institute Research Director Heather Cooley said they have built a very highly centralized system. ""We often build recycled wastewater treatment facilities at a low point in the watershed … and all the pipes are sort of oriented toward that,"" Cooley said. However, there are still other challenges in implementing such projects and ensuring that the water being recycled is safe for consumption and that regulations are adjusted accordingly. There is currently no way to monitor chemicals and pathogens in sewage water in real-time, but water treatment operators use a concept known as log removal to judge the number of impurities in water. For some viruses, state authorities require up to 20 log removals before the water can be considered safe. More stories about climate extremists and their green propaganda can be found at .

But where is the evidence of this climate crisis that these well funded scientists and activists keep talking about?  Where are the weather effects?  One can see the very tangible results of our ongoing economic crisis; inflation and high prices, floundering consumers relying on credit cards, mass layoffs in the tech industry spreading to other sectors, etc.  People are experiencing the downturn and they can witness the consequences for themselves.  If the climate cult wants people to take them seriously, they will have to show some kind of visible proof that global warming is real and a legitimate threat. The problem is, they have no proof, and so they are forced to dishonestly connect every single bad weather event to ""climate change"" as a means to frighten the public.  Let's look at the real weather data and see if supposedly dangerous man-made carbon emissions are somehow contributing to weather calamity. The US is often cited as a primary carbon polluter (even though nations like China produce 30% of global carbon emissions while the US produces only 14%).  Let's look at a track record of US weather data and see if we can find signs of impending disaster.  If the problem is global, then it should certainly be visible in US weather as much as any other country. How about hurricanes?  Every time a hurricane hits the Gulf Coast the mainstream media rants about climate change as the cause.  But has there been a significant increase in hurricanes in the US?  No, there has not according to long term data.  Storms are forming at a rate consistent with  . What about major flooding events?  Has there been more downpours and raging rivers?  No, there has not.  Flooding events are not happening at a greater frequency or severity today than they have in past decades.  Even climate scientists are forced to admit that US and global flood damage has been in  .  Data of damage as a proportion of GDP shows this. Does this mean we are facing increasing drought conditions?  Surely, global warming is causing significant damage through loss of rainfall?  Nope, that's not happening either.  The worst droughts in recent US history occurred in the  . Maybe we can see a noticeable shift in tornadoes and severe weather inland?  Are there more deadly tornadoes today than years ago?  No, there are not.  In fact, dangerous tornadoes have been declining. Climate change hysteria often relies on the theory of temperature ""tipping points"" as a basis for their arguments.  Official temp data only goes back to the 1880s, giving us a tiny window to view climate and compare data from today with the data from the past.  According to the NOAA, global temps have risen less than 1°C in 100 years.  They assert that it only takes a 1.5°C increase to trigger a ""tipping point"" event that could destroy the Earth as we know it.  There is no evidence to support tipping point theory, nor is there a historic precedent.  Certainly there is no evidence in the weather, and skeptics are having a difficult time finding any indications that a catastrophe is on the horizon. If anything, the data proves that man-made carbon emissions have no effect on weather events.  So, if we are on the verge of global warming annihilation, it's not because human industry caused it. The truth is, climate change has become a religious ideology, an extension of Earth worship based on faith rather than facts.  And like every religion, the climate cult needs an Apocalypse mythology, an end of the world image to keep the flock in line.  Every decade they conjure up new tales of inevitable destruction unless we follow their rules and bow to their whims.  It is a sad attempt to co-opt science as a tool for zealotry.

But you would never know this from the official climate models. ""How is it possible that EVERY SINGLE CLIMATE MODEL predicts higher warming than observation?"" asks the No Consensus blog. (Related: Independent scientists that there is no climate emergency.) ""Climate science is one of the most gratuitously funded fields in the history of science. They get satellites, flights, conferences, an entire MASSIVE division of the United Nations, buildings, university departments, supercomputers, ridiculous paychecks, insane monetary awards, international recognition, television commercials ... hugs from hot girls ... on and on."" All this nonsense is paid for with your tax dollars, by the way. None of this climate lunacy would be possible if not for tens of millions of people forking over a large percentage of their paychecks to the psychopaths in charge. The only reason they continue to get away with fooling the world and bilking society out of true success and prosperity is because We the People are allowing them to. The science is clear: the planet is not warming. If anything, it is cooling right now. And at some point in the future, it will start warming again because that is how the climate works . The world is certainly on a crash-course towards disaster, but not because humans drive cars and eat meat. No, the real reason is because psychopaths rule the world and are destroying the world with their endless climate fiction. The truth of the matter is that every single climate model on planet earth is fraudulent in that they all massively over-predict the state of the weather. If anything, things are still the same as they have always been, despite the industrial revolution. ""That needs to be screamed from the rooftops,"" wrote a commenter. ""There are billions of dollars of incentives, paid for by taxpayers, being doled out for bad information knowing that it's bad information but agreeing with the false narrative, and good information is being censored."" Dr. Spencer, by the way, recently had his YouTube channel censored for revealing too much about the climate fraud that is passed around as ""truth"" by the globalists. They simply cannot tolerate opposing viewpoints, which is how you know their dogma is bunk. ""When you live in a world that rejects reality and puts fantasy in its place, and then demands that you agree with the fantasy or face painful consequences, it becomes one's duty to SCREAM that the fantasy is a lie,"" another commenter wrote. Someone else pointed out that the global warming crowd is deliberately ignoring the fact that Antarctica has had record cold, snow, and ice accumulation over the past several decades. Things are sure not warming in that part of the world, in other words. ""Even over the past few years, Antarctica's cold, snow, and ice have hit record numbers,"" this person added. ""The number of catastrophic hurricanes and tornadoes has dwindled the last couple of decades. The oceans have not risen appreciably other than the normal waxing and waning of ice melt and evaporation cycles. Also, droughts, cold snaps, and weather extremes are the rule all throughout recorded history. There are records clear back to the 1400s verifying this fact.""

Those on the right are opposed to ESG, especially when tied to banking and finance, because it impedes economic growth while pushing ""green"" agendas like the elimination of fossil fuels. (Related: Credit Suisse and BlackRock have both been for their anti-energy ESG agendas.) We know from the UN's Net-Zero Banking Alliance website that the group's members control about 40 percent of the world's banking assets. All members are ""committed to aligning their lending and investment portfolios with net-zero emissions by 2050."" ""The Net-Zero Banking Alliance is a massive worldwide agreement by major banking institutions, overseen by the UN, to starve companies engaged in fossil fuel-related activities of credit on national and international markets,"" added Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, one of the attorneys general who launched an investigation into the matter in his state. Back in May, the Net-Zero Banking Alliance issued a statement claiming that while it ""does not support the financing of fossil fuel expansion,"" it still ""believes that immediate divestment from existing fossil fuel positions will not necessarily bring about the required real economy decarbonization that the world needs."" Schmitt's response to this is that he is currently leading a coalition to investigate banks deemed to have ceded their authority over to the UN. The goal, he says, is to prevent ""the killing of American companies that don't subscribe to the woke climate agenda."" ""These banks are accountable to American laws – we don't let international bodies set the standards for our businesses,"" Schmitt further added in a statement. In addition to Missouri, the following states are also on board with investigating the banking cartels: Arizona, Arkansas, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. The investigations include a demand of banks that they describe their involvement with each ""Global Climate Initiative"" in which they participate, including dates joined, promises and pledges made, along with any other commitments. Schmitt and his allies also want to know what actions offending banks have made with regard to these Global Climate Initiatives. This will help determine the extent of corruption implicit at each financial institution. In West Virginia, opposition to ESG principles is so strong in state treasurer Riley Moore that he is now seeking to move state money from associated financial institutions. Other state treasurers are reportedly attempting the same. In a statement, Will Hild, executive director of Consumers' Research, praised the launch of these new investigations. ""States are holding big banks accountable for obvious violations and for peddling highly questionable climate initiatives under the label of ESG – all part of a coordinated effort to handicap American energy at the expense of U.S. consumers,"" Hild said. On the flip side of the argument, various environmental groups are criticizing ESG-associated banks for not going far enough with their environmental and social justice extremism. ""It's time for the NZBA [Net-Zero Banking Alliance] to make clear that banks who continue to finance massive fossil fuel expansion while making grand pronouncements about climate goals are not welcome in the alliance,"" said the Sierra Club's Adele Shraiman, who sits on the organization's Fossil-Free Finance campaign at Climate Week NYC.

The aim is to achieve the extermination without the stark imagery and, therefore, to avert any significant pushback before the mission is completed.

Another 17 600 farmers would need to reduce the amount of animals they keep to meet these climate goals. And this is bad. Because there are about 54 000 farms in the Netherlands, meaning that around 1/5 of all farms will be forced to shut down and almost 1/3 of farms forced to scale down and reduce livestock. Meaning that thousands and thousands of farmers will be loosing their livelihoods in order to meet government climate goals. They are literally going to make people loose their livelihoods in order to meet climate goals. That is crazy. Not only that, think about all the food that will be lost as a result of this. We are already facing a food crisis due to sky high fertilizer prices and grain shortages due to the war in Ukraine. We need more food now, not less! The climate change fanatics are trying to bring us back to the middle ages. The state is planning on forcing farmers to sell their farms to the state (buying them out). State sanctioned appropriation of farms and land. Now where have I heard about that kind of thing before…? Oh yes, under Communism. I told you that this is Climate Communism and that The Great Reset is just another word for Global Communism. And it seems like people in the Netherlands are not happy with these government plans, as the political party of the Prime Minister in the Netherlands, VVD, has reached a new all-time low in the polls. If there was an election now, they would   13 of their 34 seats in parliament. A whopping 7 out of 10 voters say that they are dissatisfied with the Cabinet of the Prime Minister. Meanwhile the new party called Farmer-Citizen Movement is now polling in second place. Farmers held a meeting with the government on Friday, however some farmers are not satisfied with the results and are talking about more protests, with a farmers group that claims to represent 95% of agriculture   the ”toughest demonstrations ever”. So the state is planning on forcing farmers to shut down under the excuse of climate change. Forcing them to sell their farms. Essentially this is a form of seizing the means of production. It is basically Communism. Climate Communism. And we all know how that has gone when the state has seized farms before. Look no further than what happened under Stalin in Ukraine or under Mao in China. It is not all bad news however. I guess we will be getting brand new factories producing bug snacks. Or we might get more of ”sustainable” supermarkets like the one named Picnic in the Netherlands which got €600 million in investments, the majority coming from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation! This supermarket focusing on things like vegan food and delivering food in electric vehicles. And guess what! A millionaire investor at Picnic who has also been the director there, is family with a Dutch Minister who has been involved with these new nitrogen laws.

Furthermore, Biden ordered Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland to advance offshore wind farm developments in the mid- and southern Atlantic Coast and Florida's Gulf Coast.

When Mulvaney opened the interview by telling the president that he was currently on his 221st day of publicly transitioning, Biden responded, “God love you.” In the segment, which was aired by the progressive news outlet Now This News, Mulvaney asked Biden if he believes states should be allowed to and other forms of so-called ""gender-affirming healthcare,"" such as puberty blockers, for children. Biden answered: “I don’t think any state or anybody should have the right to do that as a moral question. As a legal question, I just think it’s wrong.” He added: “I feel very, very strongly that you should have every single solitary right, including use of your gender identity bathrooms, but public.” Right now, several states already have restrictions on various sex transition procedures on children, while others are currently considering enacting laws that can stop children from compromising their health through major procedures and interventions such as puberty blockers, hormone therapies and dangerous sex change surgeries. Sadly, many of these operations can put children’s future ability to reproduce at risk; some experience lifelong problems from these operations, such as trouble urinating. Many more problems have been associated with these interventions at the psychological level. Many young people later experience deep regret over getting irreversible sex change operations, with an alarming percentage going on to commit suicide. Experts have explained that gender dysphoria is often a temporary phase for young people, which means dealing with it in a permanent way is not just misguided but also very dangerous. Thankfully, common sense seems to be prevailing in Europe on the matter. England's National Health System drafted new guidance last week announcing that stricter oversight was forthcoming on providing children with gender dysphoria ""gender-affirming care."" In some cases, the guidance will call for local authorities to be informed when young people have obtained hormone therapy or puberty blockers on the private market. There will also be safeguarding protocols put in place to ensure the well-being and safety of any children who want these treatments. Earlier this year, the world's biggest transition clinic for minors, Tavistock Clinic, was closed down in the UK following an independent review and multiple complaints from the families of patients. Meanwhile, Finland and Sweden have recently reversed their own guidelines on gender care. The National Board of Health and Welfare in Sweden stated this summer that “the risks of puberty suppressing treatment [with] gender-affirming hormonal treatment currently outweigh the possible benefits.” Yet in the U.S., the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Population Affairs released a document entitled “Gender Affirming Care and Young People,” while the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration released a document entitled “Gender-Affirming Care Is Trauma-Informed Care."" These official documents list operations such as ""top surgery"" (altering breasts to be more feminine or masculine) and “bottom surgery” (mutilating genitals and removing reproductive organs) as who claim to be transgender. It’s disappointing but not surprising that while Biden thinks young people should be allowed to render themselves sterile and if they so choose, he is not willing to extend the same freedom over individual health choices to those who do not wish to put their lives at risk with dangerous vaccines.

The role of social media should not be underrated, especially among millennials and today's youth, as through those portals has been nothing short of a disinformation tsunami. Young folks, including young adults, teens, and children, are quick to believe everything they see and hear on social media, YouTube, and by searching via Google. They don't watch much TV news, talk shows, or read the newspapers, like the older generations still do. For example, entire communities of young people are convinced the world is getting hotter due to human activity and that we'll all die of heat if we don't stop using gasoline in the next decade or two. That's environmental disinformation spread by regulatory agencies, like the EPA, on a grand scale. Nearly all Democrats and Liberals are still wearing their bacteria-breeding masks from the pandemic, either out of sheer brainwashing (paranoia) or as a sense of collusion, or both. They don't understand that the masks were always just a form of communist control of the populace, to see how badly they could be coerced, and to help breed disease and disorder during the scamdemic. Talk about a contagious form of disinformation. It was the masks that went ""viral,"" more so than any virus or ""gain of function"" parasites. Then came the and the most dangerous and deadly disinformation campaign the world has ever known. It's nothing short of a Vaccine Holocaust, and it's still happening. For politicians to continue on the grandest of scales, they must invoke war and somehow brainwash a large swath of citizens to support it. This is the case with the ""War on Ukraine."" The brainwashing is right there in the name, as it declares that the war is ON them, and so they must be defended, as if the leaders of that nation are innocent of horrific crimes and NATO-funded atrocities. In fact, several chemical warfare bio-labs were built, funded, and revealed there, but the disinformation campaign by Beijing Biden and his cohorts has convinced many Americans otherwise. Ukraine forces are Nazi-sympathizers and deserve no assistance from our country, especially while the USA is suffering its own economic woes and supply chain dismantling. Food shortages in America are well planned, but the socialist regime does not want anyone to realize it, so the disinformation campaign on that runs deep. Everything but the purposeful supply chain crippling is to blame, including ""Russia's war on Ukraine,"" climate change, random fires and explosions at food processing factories, bird flu, and wait for it… Americans who won't eat bugs instead of meat and eggs. Between the Obama regime and the Biden regime, over $15 trillion dollars has been printed and disappeared into thin air. None was spent on education, infrastructure, or military defense systems. It's just gone. Some was given as handouts to keep people reliant on Big Government, only to try to ensure future votes from lazy, unemployed peons, illegal immigrants, and drug addicts. The disinformation campaign about money is splattered everywhere, while the tyrants in Washington DC (along with their globalist cohorts) try to rob the rest of the world of every single penny. Then there are always disinformation campaigns run by the Democrats right after mass shootings. Most mass shootings occur when young men, often Democrats themselves, take and use registered weapons to shoot up a school, mall, or movie theatre. Sometimes those events are completely staged by the FBI. Still, the disinformation narratives run across all mass media and social media so the 'Dirty Dems' can attempt to take away all guns from Americans and nullify the second amendment of the Constitution. This is nothing new, and it never works. One of the first with the Vietnam War, where American politicians continually lied and told American citizens we were ""winning"" the war, while putting Blacks on the front lines in what was later termed the ""meat grinder."" Martin Luther King tried to blow the whistle on this disinformation campaign, but he was shot to death for it.

It turns out that the climate is always changing. And humans play little-to-no role in temperatures and weather patterns, which are dictated by factors far outside the control of mankind. The political establishment and its official ""science"" outlets claim that it is a ""settled"" matter, but the World Climate Declaration specifies otherwise. (Related: Hundreds of scientists signed a back in 2019 declaring the alleged climate emergency to be fiction.) Norwegian physics Nobel Prize laureate Professor Ivar Giaever is one of the declaration's signatories. He says that climate change dogmas are more religion than they are science – a full list of World Climate Declaration signatories is . ""The scale of the opposition to modern day 'settled' climate science is remarkable, given how difficult it is in academia to raise grants for any climate research that departs from the political orthodoxy,"" reports Legal Insurrection . ""Another lead author of the declaration, Professor Richard Lindzen, has called the current climate narrative 'absurd,' but acknowledged that trillions of dollars and the relentless propaganda from grant-dependent academics and agenda-driven journalists currently says it is not absurd."" One common piece of ""evidence"" put forth in favor of the climate emergency narrative is the consortium of climate models , which claim to use math and science to ""prove"" the existence of global warming. These climate models are central to the discussion on climate change, and yet they are merely a product of whatever their creators want them to be – i.e., they show whatever the people who made them want them to show. ""We should free ourselves from the naïve belief in immature climate models,"" the World Climate Declaration states. ""In the future, climate research must give significantly more emphasis to empirical evidence."" The CLINTEL Group has created an action plan for fighting back against the climate agenda. That plan includes the following main points, which the CLINTEL Group says it will give to governments and companies worldwide for consideration: ""There is no climate emergency,"" says the CLINTEL Group. ""Therefore, there is no cause for panic and alarm. We strongly oppose the harmful and unrealistic net-zero CO2 policy proposed for 2050. If better approaches emerge, and they certainly will, we have ample time to reflect and re-adapt."" ""The aim of global policy should be 'prosperity for all' by providing reliable and affordable energy at all times. In a prosperous society, men and women are well educated, birthrates are low and people care about their environment."" To allow so-called ""Green New Deal"" policies to win out over what the CLINTEL Group is proposing will allow for the total destruction of wealth, prosperity, and life as we currently know it.

She also worked directly with the scientists involved, one of which is her brother-in-law. For the next five years, Lubchenco is barred from the NAS for research misconduct. Her shady behavior in the realm of climate ""science"" has called into question the validity of many other studies and projects she has worked on or contributed to over the years. ""Now, how many studies and projects cited her work, justifying more grants, and drove policies???"" asked one concerned person on Twitter. (Related: Many of Biden's other appointees are trans obsession and have a pedophilic penchant for sexually mutilating children.) Lubchenco reportedly violated NAS Code of Conduct Section 3, which states that ""NAS members shall avoid those detrimental research practices that are clear violations of the fundamental tenets of research."" ""Members should be fair and objective peer reviewers, maintain confidentiality when requested, promptly move to correct the literature when errors in their own work are detected, include all deserving authors on publications, and give appropriate credit to prior work in citations,"" that section further reads. In response to her sanctioning, Lubchenco stated that she accepts them, calling it an ""error in judgment"" on her part ""in editing a paper authored by some of my research collaborators – an error for which I have publicly stated my regret."" Lubchenco's miscarriage of science is so much of a concern that three GOP representatives – Frank Lucas of Oklahoma, Stephanie Bice also of Oklahoma and Jay Obernolte of California – co-wrote an open letter back in February calling on the White House to ""consider whether Dr. Lubchenco's leading role in the Administration's scientific integrity efforts undermines public confidence in future policy decisions."" ""As an editor at the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), Dr. Lubchenco demonstrated a clear disregard for rules meant to prevent conflicts of interest in publishing peer-reviewed studies,"" that letter goes on to state. ""Now, Dr. Lubchenco is playing a leading role in developing and overseeing this Administration's best practices for scientific integrity. Her violation of one of the core tenets of scientific integrity makes her current leadership role very troubling."" Amid all the controversy, Lubchenco is still in her role and tweeting away on Twitter about the ""transition"" to so-called ""green"" energy that she and the Biden regime are pushing in order to address ""global warming"" and ""climate change."" ""It was a long time coming,"" she bragged on August 12 about the Biden regime's passing of ""[o]ur biggest climate investment ever,"" to quote White House National Climate Advisor Gina McCarthy. ""Now we can get even more accomplished."" The level of corruption that saturates the Biden regime is simply unprecedented. There is just no way that 80 million Americans supposedly voted to install this trainwreck of a presidency. ""After climate scientists at the University of Kent Infowars ""They were working in concert with NOAA, which is an American scientific agency who was also caught deleting historical climate data and replacing it with false data in 2015.

They were co-signed by AGs from 14 other states – Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Utah and Virginia. Currently, the Apple App Store deems TikTok as appropriate for users aged 12 and up. Google's Play Store, meanwhile, labels the Chinese video app as ""T"" – meaning teen-appropriate. ""Content is generally suitable for ages 13 and up,"" according to the companies' websites. They warned, however, that content on TikTok ""may contain violence, suggestive themes, crude humor, minimal blood, simulated gambling and/or infrequent use of strong language."" The current ratings are unsatisfactory, the top state attorneys argued in their letters, as the content available on TikTok goes well beyond those guidelines. They also mentioned that the app is not suitable for children younger than 17 years old. ""The TikTok app contains frequent and intense alcohol, tobacco and drug use references, sexual content, profanity and mature/suggestive themes,"" the AGs pointed out. ""The TikTok app can only plausibly qualify for an 'M' for 'Mature' rating."" They added that both tech giants are partly responsible for any harm caused by the alleged mislabeling of TikTok. The move came amid growing pressure on TikTok by state governments over alleged . Given this, several state governments prohibited the app on government-owned communication devices. Texas, Maryland, Oklahoma, North Dakota, South Dakota, South Carolina, Alabama and Utah have banned the app on public sector devices. Outside the U.S., Taiwan is the only country that has banned TikTok in government-owned devices as of writing. The AGs wrote in their letters that both Apple and Google share ""the responsibility to ensure that apps like TikTok display an accurate age rating to consumers."" ""When parents are deceived into letting their kids download TikTok, there are real consequences. Exposure to drug, alcohol, and tobacco content on social media makes kids more likely to use or experiment with those illicit substances in real life. [Meanwhile], exposure to sexual content on TikTok can lead to pornography addiction and even the sexual exploitation of kids by online predators."" The AGs concluded that if Apple and Google do not change their age ratings for TikTok on their respective app stores, they reserve the right to take legal action against both companies. Requests for comment sent to both Apple and Google went unanswered, alongside a similar request sent to the Bejing-based ByteDance, TikTok's parent company. The Dec. 13 letters followed against TikTok on Dec. 8. Rokita, a signatory in the letters to Google and Apple, accused the Chinese app of luring children to the platform with deceptive messaging about the content there. He also accused TikTok of misleading customers regarding the safety of their personal information, as the Chinese Communist Party actually has access to their data. (Related: ) ""TikTok is a wolf in sheep's clothing,"" stated court documents related to the Dec. 8 lawsuits. ""As long as TikTok is permitted to deceive and mislead Indiana consumers about the risks to their data, those consumers and their privacy are easy prey.""

DeSantis: Doctors performing sex change operations should face LEGAL ACTION – NaturalNews.com ""[These doctors] talk about these young kids getting 'gender-affirming care.' They don't tell you what that is,"" he said. ""They're actually giving very young girls double mastectomies. They want to castrate these young boys."" ""I think these doctors need to get sued for what's happening. That's wrong."" (Related: ) According to DeSantis, kids between 10 and 13 years old should not undergo surgical procedures as 80 percent of gender confusion ""resolves anyways by the time [children] get older."" The Republican governor's remarks followed his earlier plan for minors, which he elaborated on back in May. DeSantis shared this plan with Fox News host Lisa Boothe on the latter's program ""The Truth with Lisa Boothe."" ""You can't get a tattoo if you're 12 years old. When they say 'gender-affirming care,' what they mean a lot of times is you are really castrating a young boy, sterilizing a young girl [and] doing mastectomies for these very young girls,"" he said. ""You're doing things that are permanently altering them, and then they're not [going to] be able to reverse that. So I don’t think it's appropriate for kids at all."" DeSantis also backed the guidance issued by Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo that advised against the use of puberty blockers, hormone treatments or surgical procedures for children. However, he told Boothe that additional safeguards are needed. ""[While] I think the guidance is right, there should be additional protections. Because when you're growing up – there are things that, you know, [happen at] an awkward time. It seems like there's a concerted effort in society to push these kids to do some type of medical intervention and, in our judgment, that's not healthy,"" said DeSantis. With DeSantis becoming more vocal against the transgender agenda, several of his colleagues in the GOP are stepping up to protect their children. Back in April, Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey that bans transgender drugs and surgeries into law. SB184 prohibits puberty blockers or other drugs ""intended to alter the a child's gender or delay puberty"" alongside sterilizing surgeries for minors. ""There are very real challenges facing our young people, especially with today's societal pressures and modern culture. I believe very strongly that if the good Lord made you a boy, you are a boy – and if He made you a girl, you are a girl,"" Ivey said in a statement. A month earlier, Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey also signed a bill prohibiting underage gender transition surgeries in the state. SB 1138, , banned irreversible ""sex change"" procedures such as genital mutilation, hysterectomy and mastectomy for children below the age of 19. Describing the proposal as ""common sense,"" Ducey said SB 1138 ensures that ""individuals undergoing irreversible gender reassignment surgery are of adult age."" In February, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott directed state agencies to treat ""gender-transitioning procedures"" for minors . He also ordered them to investigate parents and medical facilities pushing children to undergo these procedures under the guise of ""gender-affirming care."" The Lone Star State's governor remarked: ""[There's] no doubt that these procedures are 'abuse' under Texas law, and thus must be halted."" He added that the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services ""has the responsibility to act accordingly.""

The One Health scheme will grant the WHO absolute ""power"" to initiate ""climate lockdowns"" at such a time that ""global warming"" is determined to be too much of a threat to ignore. ""While vague and confusing, the language of the One Health scam is a tool to create networks and combine efforts toward centralizing power and control, which is always the goal of all masters everywhere,"" reported Mac Slavo in the Discern Report . ""Once that central power has been achieved then similar measures that were imposed in response to the COVID plandemic can be used for climate change, loss of biodiversity, human diseases, vector-borne diseases, and much more."" (Related: During covid, some left-wing climate fanatics families to kill their relatives in lockdown to save the planet.) The next round of lockdowns to be overseen by the WHO will be much worse than the covid lockdowns. WHO head Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus will be able to wield unrestrained authoritarian tyranny on everyone all around the globe, forcing people to stay inside and ""stay safe"" indefinitely. With the help of artificial intelligence (AI), the powers that be will be able to maintain an all-seeing eye on everyone at all times – you didn't really think those AI brain implants were actually about ""saving lives"" like Elon Musk claims, did you? Bill Gates and his Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation are the biggest funders of the WHO, driving the organization's tyrannical policies. Billy Boy just cannot wait until the next fake ""pandemic"" is launched, plunging the entire world right back into hell – a much worse hell than covid, by the way. Covid was just the test run for what the WHO is planning for next time. The World Economic Forum (WEF), run by Klaus Schwab, is also involved with spearheading the scheme, which the Daily Exposé describes as follows: ""WHO's 'Pandemic Treaty' will not only be concerned with pandemics. It introduces globally the 'One Health' ideology. The concept recognizes the interdependence of human and animal health and the connection with the environment. Through this One Health agenda, WHO will have the power to make decisions in matters relating to the environment (including greenhouse gas emissions, pollution, and deforestation), animal health (e.g., livestock), and human health (including vaccinations, social determinants, and population movement). With these extended powers, WHO could readily declare a climate or environmental emergency and enforce lockdowns."" The excuse for all this tyranny is that it must happen in order to provide a ""ray of hope for addressing our global challenges."" In other words, the planet will die , we are told, unless all humans besides the ""elite"" are locked down and subjected to genocide. In order to address the 14 ""global challenges"" that the WHO has identified – these include food, water, safety, security, soil health, and ""comparative biology"" – the powers that be must seize control over everything, including not just ""people"" but also ""animals,"" plants, waterways, and entire ecosystems. To stop this nightmare from coming to fruition, a critical mass of humanity would have to first realize what is happening and agree to systematically resist. This includes the ""enforcers,"" i.e., law enforcement, coming to the realization that they are working on behalf of evil, prompting them to switch sides and fight for humanity instead.

The new efficiency standards will limit water usage and energy consumption for new dishwashers. Bloomberg Law reported that if the proposal gets implemented, . For more compact models, the mandatory reductions are 22 percent for power and 11 percent for water. The Energy Department estimated that consumers would save up to $168 million per year under the plan. However, there could be higher initial costs, as manufacturers design new models to comply. The Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) said the new rules would drive up costs for manufacturers and consumers alike ""without providing meaningful energy savings."" ""Most appliances covered by the program now operate at close enough to peak efficiency that it is unlikely that additional standards will result in significant energy gains,"" the group said. Consumers would likely pay an extra $15 for a new standard-sized dishwasher, but the DOE said the proposed requirements would yield $3 billion in utility bill savings over three decades of shipments. It is also expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 12.5 million metric tons and save 240 billion gallons of water – which the agency said is equivalent to 360,000 Olympic-sized pools. In August last year, the DOE started to enforce a ban on the manufacture and sale of most incandescent light bulbs and mandated the entire nation to . (Related:  .) New energy-efficient standards were also imposed on the use of refrigerators back in February. The federal agency also requested additional regulations on washing machines and issued new energy efficiency standards rules for portable air cleaners and air conditioners. Experts think that these aggressive regulatory measures will only lead to more expensive household appliances that are far less effective than current models. ""What these mandates, what these standards, do is enforce a level of ,"" Ben Lieberman, a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, told Fox News Digital. ""And they compromise product quality. We've already seen this to an extent with the cost of clothes washer standards."" ""That's another problem – this is a regulatory program that's very long in the tooth and you're getting to the point where clothes washers – this might be the fifth time they've been regulated,"" he added. ""So, we're really chasing after diminishing or non existent marginal returns."" He also noted that mandating more restrictions could lead to less efficient products, thereby wasting more energy. ""These standards are counterproductive from the energy and environmental savings standpoint, but they're also a real inconvenience for consumers. They're not so convenient because you might have to do things more than once. Even if you do things once, your clothes washer and dishwasher cycle times are already longer,"" he said.

They adopted ineffective, misguided and economically damaging energy and climate legislation that created skyrocketing electricity prices for California residents, businesses and organizations. But despite the Golden State's supposedly ""climate-friendly"" legislative schemes, its 2021  was the highest in the entire country at 19.65 cents per kilowatt hour, an increase of 224.6 percent from the 1999 price of 8.75 cents per kilowatt hour. The 10 other states in the western U.S. region have a 2021 average retail electricity price of only 9.19 cents per kilowatt hour. Energy Information Administration (EIA) data shows that the average retail electricity price for the entire country from 1999 to 2021 only grew by 67.16 percent – 6.64 cents per kilowatt hour from 1999 to 11.10 cents per kilowatt hour in 2021. EIA is the principal agency of the U.S. Federal Statistical System responsible for collecting, analyzing and disseminating energy information. The EIA average retail electricity price data provided the total electric industry price in each state, which includes price information from all full-service providers, restructured retail service providers, energy-only providers and delivery-only service providers. These electric service provider categories comprise the total electricity supply services utilized within each state. Moreover, the data are established for residential, commercial, industrial, transportation and other consumer categories with an overall total price average included for each state as well the average across the United States. According to Bloomberg , the jump in demand for natural gas, supply constraints and aging infrastructure has left the region . Also, the rainy winter has bought up challenges in the green energy transition, proving Californians are not ready yet to sacrifice their use of fossil fuels. ""Unfortunately for Californians, they're going through this bumpy energy transition where everything doesn't just fit exactly,"" Wood Mackenzie Ltd Research Director Eugene Kim said. ""It's a battle between longer-term energy transition versus your immediate needs."" Limited storage, damage to a key pipeline and a surge in demand have sent natural gas prices soaring in the state. California Governor Gavin Newsom and other state politicians were adamant in pushing climate proposals that poured investment into the energy transition, moving away from natural gas and nuclear generation and discouraging significant investment in storage and pipeline capacity. However, as residents complain of , the governor has had no choice but to call for an investigation into the prices. (Related:  .) A prolonged drought followed by a wet and chilly winter at first stymied the state's hydropower capacity and then crippled its short-term solar generation. The gap has left California ill-equipped to deal with any surge in demand or disruption to supply, both of which have happened in recent months. The cold winter has also made Californians crank up their heating systems and has left working gas stockpiles in the Pacific region at their lowest level for this time of year since at least 2010.

Just 18 percent of Berlin's eligible voters, or 442,210 votes, were cast in favor of the bill, which climate activists were sure would pass. This latest failure by the ""green"" cabal to force more climate extremism down the public's throats represents a serious blow to the ""Fridays for Future"" and ""Last Generation"" movement in Germany. It is expected to take months for the movement to recover – if it ever recovers – from this serious setback. (Related: Last fall, Reuters ran a piece worldwide depopulation to achieve ""climate justice."") It turns out that the initiative in Berlin to make the city ""climate neutral"" by the year 2030 was led not by ordinary Germans but by ""rich, upper-class youths"" such as Luisa ""Longhaul"" Neubauer. These wealthy, silver spoon brats have had all the time in the world to glue themselves to street pavement or block traffic in an attempt to turn their city more ""green."" Average folk are too busy working and trying to survive to play these foolish games, but Neubauer and her comrades thought they could convince most Berliners to support the cause. As we can now see, this was a major miscalculation on their part as to the lack of public support for climate insanity. Neubauer was furious about the referendum's failure, having lobbed cynical accusations against the majority in Berlin that stood against her little pet project. She was so upset, in fact, that she started calling uncooperative Berliners names like ""fossil cynics"" and ""climate destroyers."" ""There are forces in this city that are doing everything to get the last spark of climate destruction out,"" Neubauer added in a sour statement, adding that the failure of her pet project is troublesome for ""democracy."" Social Democrat Dario Schramm, another member of the climate brigade, cried all over social media over the failure of the referendum. Germany's Pleiteticker commented on this by stating that it is hardly surprising that the referendum failed, seeing as how those pushing it have been ""spreading their ideas of good politics for years in a self-righteous, arrogant and sometimes aggressive manner."" ""They, mostly members of the upper middle class, have declared war on the lower and lower middle class with their destructive climate measures,"" the outlet further reported. ""Outside the Berlin political bubble and the other urban feel-good oases of Germany, the Neubauers of this world never possessed much support. And now the bubble has finally burst. In the Marzahn, Köpenick and Lichtenberg districts, the majority of voters voted against the referendum. The normal working population of Berlin decided against the journalistic and political elite."" One would think that the green fanatics might recoil and reconsider their unpopular viewpoints, and perhaps back off for good on trying to convince others to adopt them. Sadly for the general public, the greenies lack any kind of self-awareness and are sure to be back on the streets of Berlin harassing people in no time. ""The self-righteous warmists couldn't care less whether 82% or even 99% don't support them,"" wrote one commenter about the matter.

In addition to carbon taxes, policymakers could also promote carbon trading schemes to allow those with means to trade pollution credits to obtain more resources. In other words, the poor will be most restricted under the scheme while the rich are allowed to do whatever they want. The researchers are based within the University of Leeds' Interdisciplinary Ethics Applied Center, Sustainability Research Institute and School of History. Lead author Dr. Nathan Wood, now a Postdoctoral Fellow at Utrecht University 's Fair Energy Consortium, had this to say: ""The concept of rationing could help, not only in the mitigation of climate change, but also in reference to a variety of other social and political issues – such as the current energy crisis."" (Related: Last fall, France in response to the collapsing energy supply chain.) During WWII, food rationing was compulsory. People had no choice but to abide by the government's rules concerning scarce resources, which was sold to the masses under the guise of promoting ""equality."" There were also price controls on certain goods that aimed to keep key resources ""affordable,"" which supposedly resulted in malnutrition going down during the war ""despite the shortages."" The key difference is that WWII was an actual crisis while global warming is fake , stemming from serious mental illness. This means that selling a rationing scheme today will be a whole lot harder, something the climate cultists fully admit. ""There is a limit to how much we can emit if we are to reduce the catastrophic impacts of climate change,"" said Dr. Rob Lawlor, the study's joint lead author. ""In this sense, the scarcity is very real."" Wood further added the following: ""The cost-of-living crisis has shown what happens when scarcity drives up prices, with energy prices rising steeply and leaving vulnerable groups unable to pay their bills. Currently, those living in energy poverty cannot use anywhere near their fair share of energy supply, whereas the richest in society are free to use as much energy as they can afford."" The authors admit that their true goal is to punish the ""biggest polluters,"" which they see as the oil, gas, and petrol industries, as well as long-haul flights and chemical-intensive farming. They never mention the ""green"" scourge, which involves heavy mining in Africa to dredge up lithium and other chemicals for electric vehicle (EV) batteries, as one example. Green energy also relies on child slave labor, which the paper does not mention. ""Many have proposed carbon allowances and carbon cards before,"" Lawlor added. ""What is new (or old, taking inspiration from World War II) is the idea that the allowances should not be tradable. Another feature of World War II-style rationing is that price controls on rationed goods would prevent prices from rising with increased demand, benefitting those with the least money."" Wood agrees that petrol should be rationed, which in turn would encourage ""greater use of, and investment in, low-carbon public transport, such as railways and local trams."" In the comments, someone wrote that all of this is part of the budding one-world government taking over the world. ""Science invents the means to overcome all the natural barriers to over population, creating all sorts of new problems, and yet these people want to use more science, even though it created the very problems they are trying to solve with dictatorship and communism and rationing,"" this person added.

As the first plenary speaker was being introduced, Kalmus and Abramoff went onstage and unfurled a banner that read ""out of the lab and into the streets."" They called on their colleagues to begin taking action against ""climate change."" ""Our . It's terrifying. Everything is at risk. As scientists, we have tremendous leverage, but we need to use it. We can wake everybody up,"" Kalmus shouted. Abramoff, meanwhile, exhorted the audience members to ""find a way to take action."" A woman standing underneath them grabbed the banner, which coincided with AGU staff member escorting the pair offstage. The two confirmed that staff members took their conference badges and told them to leave the premises. Audience members were applauding as the two were being accosted. Abramoff later received a phone call from AGU staff warning her that if she or Kalmus returns to the meeting, they would be arrested. The union added that they would contact both their employers to complain. ""I interpreted that as basically a threat — which I don't know if it was a hollow threat or not — to try and get us fired,"" she said. According to the two scientists, they had planned ahead of time to do the protest during the short break between introductory remarks and the appearance of the first speaker and had prepared short speeches. They were unaware, however, that they would be competing with a voice-over that automatically started playing over the sound system. ""I think it doesn't reflect well on the AGU that they're silencing scientists for trying to essentially sound the alarm about what I think most people agree is a pretty severe crisis,"" Abramoff told Insider . Kalmus, meanwhile, said that ""if the people who know the most about Earth breakdown are still acting like everything's fine, then, of course, everyone else is going to keep acting like everything's fine."" (Related:  .) The two scientists, who had been arrested several times in 2022 as part of climate protests, said they wanted to arouse other scientists to act on their own research as well. The AGU defended its actions during the conference in an emailed statement to Insider . ""Our main plenary at the AGU meeting on the subject of art and science was disrupted just as our first speaker began her presentation,"" a spokesperson for the union explained. ""AGU staff and convention center security was able to quickly escort the protesters off stage."" The spokesperson reiterated that the AGU's annual fall meeting provides a wide-open space for debate and discussion around all issues in Earth and space science. ""But we also need to ensure there is safety for all attendees. AGU Meetings and Events Code of Conduct requires attendees to treat everyone with respect and this includes respecting presenters' time to speak and audiences' time to listen,"" the spokesperson added.

Rare earth minerals are also a key component in solar panels, which have also been branded as ""clean"" and ""green"" despite the fact that China guzzles lots of fossil fuels in order to manufacture and sell them to the West. China is, by far, the largest investor in renewable energy. It is home to five of the world's six largest solar-module manufacturing firms, as well as the world's largest wind turbine manufacturer, according to a 2017 report from the World Resources Institute. China's Tainqi Lithium is also one of the largest manufacturers in the world of lithium-ion batteries. (Related: Over the summer, the National Academy of Science over ethics violations). Back to the Biden regime: one of its primary stated goals is to continue transitioning America into a ""climate-friendly"" country through the further adoption of China's ""green"" energy devices and technologies. Americans are never told that China holds a world monopoly on these technologies, despite widespread and growing adoption here in the U.S. Instead, we are told that air and water will become cleaner, and the planet ""cooler,"" if we give up our fossil fuels and embrace total energy reliance on communist China. Congress is divided on the ""green"" energy issue. The Left loves it while the Right hates it, generally speaking. And unfortunately it seems to be an all-or-nothing scenario where those pushing these energy changes do not want Americans to have the freedom to choose fossil fuels instead. In California, for instance, there is a phase-out of gas-powered vehicles currently underway. In about a decade, will be allowed for sale in the Golden State, which will effectively force everyone to purchase EVs. Freedom of choice is never an option, in other words, which means that the free market we all grew up hearing about is not actually a thing . And with Biden at the helm, your freedom to use fossil fuels is being chipped away in favor of communist China's ""green"" energy monopoly. Each incremental policy that Biden and his people implement brings with it decreased access to fossil fuels. Take the U.S.'s ratification of the Montreal Protocol, which promises to reduce the use of refrigerant chemicals by 80 percent over the next three decades. The purpose of the Montreal Protocol is supposedly to jumpstart U.S. solar manufacturing. However, as pointed out by Cullen S. Hendrix, a senior fellow with the Peterson Institute for International Economics, the agreement conveniently ignored securing a U.S. solar supply chain for solar parts, which are upwards of 80 percent controlled by communist China. ""[The bill] would help close the gap in solar module production but would leave the United States dependent on China for critical links in the supply chain,"" Hendrix says. ""This dependence needs to be addressed. The current situation is a significant source of U.S. strategic vulnerability."" In the meantime, the Biden regime is doing everything possible to make fossil fuels too expensive and thus out of reach to low- and middle-class Americans.

""On the basis of observation data, the climate crisis that, according to many sources, we are experiencing today, is not evident,"" reads a summary of the 20-page study. To the average climate fanatic, these are fighting words . They insist that cow farts and gas-powered cars are heating up the planet, which in turn is causing there to be bad weather in some areas from time to time. The AFP fake news agency was so upset by the study's findings that its employees frantically contacted a slew of climate scientists, at least four of which ""confirmed"" that the paper must be false. (Related: There , according to real scientists.) ""The paper gives the appearance of being specifically written to make the case that there is no climate crisis, rather than presenting an objective, comprehensive, up-to-date assessment,"" said Richard Betts, the Head of Climate Impacts Research at Britain's Met Office. ""They are writing this article in bad faith,"" further complained Friederike Otto, a senior climatologist at the Grantham Institute for Climate Change and the Environment. ""They do not have a section on heat waves"" – mentioned only in passing – ""where the observed trends are so incredibly obvious."" If either of these two climate fanatics is to be taken seriously, then how come they are not refuting the paper's claims using facts? Why are they not specifically pointing out where the paper went wrong and correcting the record? The only thing they are doing is stating that they do not like the study's findings – but it gets worse. Not only do they disagree with the paper, but they want it retracted immediately without going through the usual process of formal refutation. ""If you disagree with a particular scientific study, you challenge it on a factual basis and point out exactly where it is flawed,"" writes Paul Homewood in a guest piece for Watts Up With That . ""There is a well-established method of doing this, which is to ask the journal to print a response to the original article. Normally the paper's authors would of course have a right of reply. That is the way the real facts are established."" ""To simply demand that the journal withdraw the paper is the worst sort of censorship, and reminds us all of the dark days of Climategate, when such practices were rife whenever anybody dared to challenge the climate establishment's agenda."" Fascism seems to be the only ""argument"" that climate fanatics have when it comes to ""debunking"" science of which they disapprove. Rather than challenge criticisms point by point, they instead resort to a witch hunt, followed by a burning at the stake for all climate offenders. In this case, the goal is simply to force the study's retraction so that as few people as possible see it and consider the points it makes. Does that sound like a sound scientific approach to you? Homewood says critics of the paper have every right to disagree with its claims, but ""they need to present the facts ... instead of blackmailing The European Physical Journal Plus into withdrawing the paper.""

Jasper republished from ) The question is rhetorical, of course, since the WEF globalists have been in the forefront of the worldwide push for “climate change” indoctrination of children and youth for decades. The article begins with this familiar farrago: “As the effects of climate change become ever more apparent, this summer has brought intense heatwaves, severe flooding and damaging storms.” Although the WEF statement does not explicitly claim that the severe weather events mentioned are being  caused  by man-made global warming, that is the implicit message, one that is piggybacking on the thousands of stories in the “mainstream” media that  do  explicitly charge that “extreme weather” is increasing due to climate change. (Climate alarmists and their media allies have been escalating their apocalyptic claims in this area for the past decade, but as we have shown in the past — and show here regarding current claims — top climate experts have debunked these wild assertions. Hurricanes, droughts, floods, wildfires, heatwaves, and storms have  not  measurably increased in number or intensity in recent years or decades. See  ,  ,  ,  , and  . “Last year,” the WEF continues, “climate anxiety was revealed to affect the daily lives of nearly  , according to a global study.” The WEF provides a link that takes one to a press release from the University of Bath in the UK boosting the “study” by the university’s “climate psychologists.” “Nearly half of global youth surveyed (45%) say climate anxiety and distress is affecting their daily lives and functioning — according to results from the largest scientific study into climate anxiety in children and young people,” the Bath press release claims. The Bath study, published in  The Lancet   Planetary Health  and titled   says it “surveyed 10,000 children and young people (aged 16–25 years) in ten countries (Australia, Brazil, Finland, France, India, Nigeria, Philippines, Portugal, the UK, and the USA; 1000 participants per country).” According to the study: Respondents across all countries were worried about climate change (59% were very or extremely worried and 84% were at least moderately worried). More than 50% reported each of the following emotions: sad, anxious, angry, powerless, helpless, and guilty. More than 45% of respondents said their feelings about climate change negatively affected their daily life and functioning, and many reported a high number of negative thoughts about climate change (eg, 75% said that they think the future is frightening and 83% said that they think people have failed to take care of the planet). Respondents rated governmental responses to climate change negatively and reported greater feelings of betrayal than of reassurance. Climate anxiety and distress were correlated with perceived inadequate government response and associated feelings of betrayal. The study concluded that the widespread “climate anxiety and distress” among children and youth must be blamed on the failure of governments to enact the oppressive restrictions advocated by the climate fanatics. It is not the incessant bombardment of children with “climate emergency” frightmares (melting ice caps, rising sea levels, drowning polar bears, dying coral reefs, droughts, floods, wildfires, species extinction, etc.) that is causing the devastating mental anguish. Oh no, of course not; the “researchers” don’t even consider that. No, they say record numbers of kids are going into mental meltdown because governments have refused to lock down the entire planet in a “green” globalist-communist regime. From  The Lancet   Planetary Health  article: Climate anxiety and dissatisfaction with government responses are widespread in children and young people in countries across the world and impact their daily functioning. A perceived failure by governments to respond to the climate crisis is associated with increased distress. There is an urgent need for further research into the emotional impact of climate change on children and young people and for governments to validate their distress by taking urgent action on climate change. It would seem worthy of note that the lead author, Caroline Hickman, not only is a leader of the Climate Psychology Alliance (a left-wing outfit that   citizens and world-renowned scientists who dissent from global warming fanaticism), but also has been featured as an  . But neither the WEF article nor the University of Bath press release — nor  The Lancet , for that matter — is anxious to point this out. Also, Hickman and Dr. Liz Marks, her co-lead author of the  Lancet  article, were both promoted by the WEF in January of this year, after the  Lancet  article appeared. “Our children’s anxiety is a completely rational reaction given the inadequate responses to climate change they are seeing from governments,” Hickman said in a WEF  . “Children and young people are now mobilizing around the world and taking governments to court; arguing that failure to act on climate change violates their human rights.” “The decisions that those in power are making now will have the greatest impact upon the youngest and future generations, but they feel dismissed and ignored,” said Liz Marks, also from the University of Bath’s Department of Psychology, in the same WEF article. “We must consider the futures of young people, listen to their voices and place them at the centre of decision making.” That’s right, the sanctimonious duo and their “climate psychology” comrades engage in the most despicable mass abuse and exploitation of children and youth and then pose as the saviors of those same abused and exploited victims.  In other words, Hickman and Marks are hardly the impartial “social scientists” they pretend to be. They are propagandists in the multi-trillion-dollar Climate Lobby. They are mouthpieces and academic prostitutes for the WEF’s  Klaus Schwab and the billionaires club known as the World Economic Forum are not satisfied that hundreds of millions of school children across the globe have been traumatized and afflicted with ongoing anxiety and distress caused by nonstop United Nations/WEF global warming propaganda.  Instead of sensibly reassessing their fright-peddling indoctrination, which amounts to colossal psychological child abuse, they want to go much, much further. The WEF globalists are pushing the UN’s proposal for  compulsory  as “a core component of all education systems at all levels by 2025.” Moreover, the WEF’s August 26, 2022 article praises the government of Italy for being the first country to mandate (in 2019) the UN’s compulsory climate curriculum proposal for all schools. “Despite the UN calling for climate studies to be part of teaching in all schools by 2025,” the WEF laments, “a UNESCO study into 50 countries revealed that  .” But, here’s the WEF’s good news: “However, some countries are making good progress, such as Italy, which in 2019 became the  .” “The entire ministry is being changed to make sustainability and climate the center of the education model,” said Italy’s then-Education Minister Lorenzo Fioramonti in an interview with Reuters in 2019. “I want to make the Italian education system the first education system that puts the environment and society at the core of everything we learn in school.” Again, though, the WEF and its media shills fail at full disclosure. Mr. Fioramonti, whose mandatory curricula they endorse, is an   to the WEF and has been generously promoted by the organization for more than five years. Fioramonti, who infuriated many Italians with his radical environmental proposals and with his encouraging students to skip school to participate in global warming protests, resigned from the government in December of 2019 — but his legacy of climate brainwashing lives on in Italy’s schools. The UN and its assorted agencies and affiliates (UNESCO, UNICEF, WHO, World Bank, etc.) have been cranking up their kiddie/youth climate mobs in preparation for the UN’s upcoming Climate Change Conference to be held November 6-18, 2022, in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt. The WEF/UN master planners will not be satisfied, apparently, until they have a massive army of hysterical, sanctimonious Greta Thunberg clones   and acting as Maoist Red Guards to intimidate anyone who dares to challenge the totalitarian agenda of the climate fanatics. This is not new; the globalists have been building this force of kiddie activists for over a decade, as our articles linked below show. However, now with Biden’s handlers running the White House, they have an enormous advantage they didn’t enjoy during the four years of the Trump administration: the full political and financial support of the federal government. The battle is on — and will intensify as the UN climate conference approaches in November.

The truth, though, is that it is a fascist public-private operation aimed at keeping a lid on the deadly truth about vaccines. PGP is little more than a mass censorship operation that, especially at the height of the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) ""pandemic,"" kept itself busy de-platforming doctors and other medical specialists who tried to sound the alarm about the dangers of Fauci Flu shots. In addition to the CDC and the FDA, other PGP partners include Kaiser Permanente, Rockefeller, and Humana, according to the Tennessee Department of Health, which identified these partners from the biography of PGP CEO Dr. Joe Smyser. (Related: Stanford University an authoritarian censorship operation called the ""Vitality Project"" that worked to silence true stories about vaccine injuries.) Deviating from the norm of receiving funding from industry lobbyists working on behalf of corporations, PGP's operating cash came directly from major industry players such as Pfizer and Moderna, both of which have a vested interest in stamping out so-called ""vaccine hesitancy."" When people think for themselves, Pfizer and Moderna do not make money. So, they funneled gobs of cash into the PGP in an effort to keep people in the dark and the profits flowing. The New York City Health Department's Misinformation Response Unit (MRU) also contributed to the PGP, which also operates an initiative called Shots Heard that is similar to the United Nations Verified Initiative, the Vaccine Confidence Project, and Team Halo. All of these entities have the same goal of bullying and silencing voices like those of Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, a Stanford-educated doctor who found herself in the crosshairs when she questioned covid ""vaccines"" and promoted ivermectin on social media platforms like Twitter and TikTok. Social media ""influencers"" like Zachary Rubin and Christina Kim, both members of Team Halo, called Bowden ""problematic"" while calling for her to be stripped of her medical license. They were also instrumental in getting Bowden suspended from her position at Houston Methodist Hospital. ""Over the following months, Bowden's life was thrown into chaos as multiple social media influencers targeted her,"" reads an article from the Houston Chronicle . ""However, the most dogged was a pharmacist named Savannah, who posts under the handle @rxOrcist."" This ""Savannah"" character is a member of Shots Heard, and she is even more vile than the others, having falsely accused Bowden of ""xenophobia and racism"" because she happened to mention that most of the anti-ivermectin pharmacists she spoke with were of Asian descent. Bowden was ultimately axed from TikTok while YouTube suspended her account. She also received a litany of fake patient reviews on her career pages, which have negatively impacted her career – and she is unable to get them removed. In a few instances, Bowden's office was also targeted and security had to get involved.

""The big focus is how to help the businesses that I've worked with to really accelerate their profitability, maintain, reduce or grow their capability and reduce their headcount. AI seemed like the perfect tool to do it – and then ChatGPT happened. This was perfect timing for those efforts."" Bobinski, meanwhile, remarked that the user-friendly ChatGPT can be used by most companies that have a sales force. His guest agreed, saying that AI can be used to go through a list of leads and identify common characteristics by placing a buyer profile on customers. It can also reprocess leads and return the top 150 that qualify under different criteria. Mitson, the author of the book ""Corporate Strategy in the Age of AI,"" also noted that AI can identify contact information of customers and help sales representatives reach out to them. He continued that aside from sending the right message to the right people, AI also enables making different sales pitches to the customer. The ""Keep The Republic"" host seconded his guest's remarks, pointing out that using AI can save lots of time searching for possible clients, which could take weeks or months for humans. (Related:  .) But AI is still a work in progress. Bobinski recounted an experiment he conducted using ChatGPT, telling the AI bot to summarize the stance of Idaho Gov. Brad Little on the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) based on an article the program host wrote. He was insulted by the reply given to him, implying that his data was neither factual nor reliable. Noting the program's left-wing stance, Bobinski stated that people need to learn how to ask ChatGPT the right questions. He also noted the importance of pushing back when the AI adopts a holier-than-thou approach. In response to the ""Keep The Republic"" host's question about other AI platforms that lean left, Mitson said there are already five others that exhibit various levels of wokeism. However, ChatGPT is the farthest when it comes to capability. Mitson ultimately remarked that there is no AI chatbot that is truly conservative and credible. In spite of this, Mitson said the discouraging things about the ChatGPT and other liberal AIs will eventually drive the development of conservative versions. Even SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk observed this leftist bias in ChatGPT, accusing its creator OpenAI of training the platform's language models to be ""woke.""

Already, some hospitals in the U.K. have begun phasing out the anesthetic, which will be gone from England as well by early 2024, except in exceptional circumstances. The widespread claim, which is unsubstantiated, maintains that ending the use of desflurane in the U.K. will reduce ""harmful emissions"" by upwards of 40 kilotons of carbon per year, which is enough to power 1,100 homes (supposedly). (Related: In 2018, a paper was published claiming that anesthesia in adults.) In case you did not know, desflurane and its cousin sevoflurane are manmade hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) that supposedly contribute to a heating planet. The European Union is scheduled to ban desflurane starting on Jan. 1, 2026, except in exceptional circumstances. Other potential gases on the chopping block from medical theaters include isoflurane and nitrous oxide. On an average day, anesthetists can generate up to 500 kilograms (kg) of CO2 ""equivalent,"" as they are calling it at the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board's (ABUHB) anesthetic department, which was the first in Wales to stop using desflurane. The average U.K. citizen is said to use 25 kg of CO2 equivalent in a day, by comparison. ""Desflurane is the main culprit with 2,590 times more global warming potential (GWP) than CO2,"" reports Newspunch . ""A 240 ml bottle of desflurane, when vaporised, will produce the equivalent of 886 kg of carbon dioxide, according to the non-profit Centre for Sustainable Healthcare."" Sevoflurane, conversely, has a GWP of just 130, while nitrous oxide warms the atmosphere almost 300 times more than CO2 and stays there for more than 100 years. All this climate fearmongering hearkens back to the 1990s when the government and media were creating much ado about nothing concerning hairsprays and refrigerators, which we were all told were burning holes in the earth's ozone layer. This was nonsense, of course, but it brought about the globalists' desired outcome which was bans on some of those items as well.

How can this be if there is now so much CO2 flooding the atmosphere that the whole world is on fire with ""boiling oceans,"" as Al Gore called them at this year's annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF)? The answer, of course, is that CO2 levels have absolutely nothing to do with average temperatures. It is a myth, in other words, that greenhouse gases are causing the climate to change. (Related: Antarctica's glaciers also like climate fanatics claim.) ""The lack of warming over a significant portion of the Earth undermines the unproven hypothesis that the carbon dioxide humans add to the atmosphere is the main determinant of global climate,"" writes Chris Morrison for LifeSiteNews . ""Under 'settled' science requirements, the significant debate over the inconvenient Antarctica data is of necessity being conducted well away from prying eyes in the mainstream media."" None of this is stopping The Guardian , as one example, from publishing climate tripe about how ""unimaginable amounts of water will flow into oceans"" from the Antarctic region if people continue to drive cars and eat meat. Activist-in-chief Justin Rowlatt from the BBC is peddling much the same tripe after he flew over parts of the Antarctic region and decided that he was seeing ""an epic vision of shattered ice."" Rowlatt actually commented that he believes Antarctica is the ""frontline of climate change."" If that is the case, then Rowlatt actually debunked his own thesis because Antarctica is colder than it has been in a while and the ice there is intact just like normal. If the Antarctic region is really the ""frontline of climate change,"" then climate change is a hoax . ""In 2021, the South Pole had its coldest six-month winter since records began in 1957, a fact largely ignored in the mainstream,"" Morrison explains, noting that Reuters attempted to debunk this with a ""fact check"" claiming that a ""six-month period is not long enough to validate a climate trend."" Perhaps Reuters wants to also ""fact check"" a paper from two climate scientists (Singh and Polvani) who also determined that Antarctica has not warmed for at least the past seven decades, despite a noteworthy increase in atmospheric CO2 and other greenhouse gas levels – it is almost as if greenhouse gases have no effect on the climate. In fact, the rise in greenhouse gases correlates with a rise in Antarctic sea ice area, which they found has ""modestly expanded"" over the past several decades. Singh and Polvani were forced to conclude that warming has been ""nearly non-existent"" across the South Pole, despite constant fearmongering from the climate fanatics. ""NASA estimates current Antarctica ice loss at 147 gigatons a year, but with 26,500,000 gigatons still to go, this works out at annual loss of 0.0005 percent,"" Morrison further explains. ""At current NASA ice loss melt, it will all be gone in about 200,000 years, although the Earth may well have gone through another ice age, or two, before then."" ""Much of climate science today seems to suffer from confirmation bias. Few grants are available to those who don't start with the premise that the climate is changing mostly, or entirely, due to humans burning fossil fuel. But many present, historic, and paleo climate observations fail to establish a clear connection between temperatures and CO2 levels."" More climate-related news can be found at .

The startup examines solutions to decrease livestock emissions, with a focus on a dietary supplement for cattle with ""anti-methanogenic properties."" Rumin8's dietary supplement is synthesized from bromoform, an active ingredient in red seaweed, that prevents the creation of methane. The anti-methanogenic compounds in bromoform can target and eradicate bacteria producing the gas, reportedly cutting down on methane emissions and conserving animals' energy. According to the startup, early trials on cows fed with the supplement saw a more than 85 percent reduction in methane emissions. This amounts to two tons of greenhouse gases removed each year for every cow being fed. Identical technologies in other nations also indicate that feeding anti-methanogenic supplements could lead to cattle and sheep conserving more energy for food production. The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) developed a comparable version in 2022 that decreased methane production by up to 20 percent. The supplement also helped increase milk production in cows. ICAR used tannins and compounds found in legume plants for its dietary supplement. The agricultural industry has been under fire for greenhouse gas emissions, specifically methane. According to a 2013 report by the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, methane has 80 times the over the first 20 years that it lingers in the atmosphere. The globalist group also mentioned that methane accounts for around 30 percent of global warming that has happened since the Industrial Revolution. Agricultural methane released from livestock burps, farts and manure account for 32 percent of methane emissions. Gates, who is a big fan of the latest technologies to , has supported companies working on all types of solutions, including next-generation nuclear reactors and cutting-edge carbon capture designs. (Related:  ) As reported in the statement, the recent funds will ""accelerate Rumin8's road to commercialization,"" as the firm plans out fresh international trials, branding projects and a pilot manufacturing plant. ""The demand for sustainable protein has never been more apparent, which is why BEV is keenly interested in reducing methane emissions from beef and dairy,"" Carmichael Roberts, co-lead at the corporation’s investment committee, said in the statement. Gates' investment in Rumin8 signals his first Australian venture with Breakthrough Energy, but it is far from his first investment in climate tech-startups. ""We’re invested now in over 100 startups. This one here in Australia, Rumin8, I think it's the 103rd,"" Gates said during a recent interview in Sydney with Michael Fullilove, executive director of the Lowy Institute, an independent think tank. The billionaire added that around six percent of global planet-warming emissions come from cows. ""It’s great to have Australia engaged in climate. The world isn't going to trade with people who don't have . Australia was a bit of an outlier until quite recently.""

The result, Gore further claimed, is an onslaught of ""climate refugees"" with nowhere to go except straight through America's borders, illegally. Calling it a ""climate crisis,"" Gore blasted so-called ""fossil fuels"" for polluting the planet with carbon dioxide (CO2), which he says is creating a ""planetary crisis"" that will ultimately lead to ""mass extinction"" by ""really putting humanity's future at risk."" Gore would know about fossil fuel use, seeing as how he uses lots and lots of it – much more than the average person, in fact – to power his lavish, sprawling estates and fuel his private jets. (Related: In 2017, Gore that high tides in Miami were proof that ocean levels are rising due to global warming.) ""We're still putting 162 million tons [of greenhouse gas pollution into the atmosphere] every single day, and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the Earth,"" Gore declared. ""That's what's boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees, predicted to reach one billion in this century."" Unless America and all other sovereign nations open up their borders to an illegal alien onslaught, the climate crisis will only continue to worsen, Gore went on to allege. ""Look at the xenophobia and political authoritarian trends that have come from just a few million refugees. What about a billion? We would lose our capacity for self-governance on this world. We have to act,"" he said. Cheap and abundant oil and natural gas have to go, Gore says – for poor people, anyway – in order for the planet to stop warming. This is the goal of the Inflation Reduction Act, a Biden regime initiative that Gore says is ""primarily a climate act."" The legislation contains $369 billion, not including tax credits, in appropriation funds for ""renewable energy,"" meaning windmills, solar panels, and a very dark and cold future for humanity. ""Renewable energy ... is now the cheapest source of electricity in almost the entire planet,"" Gore lied. In order to ""save the future,"" Gore concluded in his deranged speech, ""pro-climate legislation"" must be passed at all levels of government, and in all parts of the world. ""Rain bombs? Bomb cyclones? Atmospheric rivers? They really are losing their minds,"" wrote a commenter about how all sorts of common weather events now have scary new names aimed at frightening the general public into giving up cheap and abundant energy in exchange for globalist ""green"" energy. ""They have been losing their minds for decades,"" responded another. ""I have been hearing about these end of the world scenarios since I was a kid. And not one of their predictions has come true. Global cooling, global warming, mass extinction, mass famine, the polar ice caps melting, mass flooding, the ozone layer depleted, etc."" ""A few years ago, someone (John Nolte?) listed all of their bigger predictions and their track record was 0-47,"" added another to the conversation.

(Related: BlackRock and Vanguard .) Vanguard recently bowed out of the so-called Net Zero Asset Managers (NZAM) initiative, which is a step in the right direction. However, both it and BlackRock are still heavily invested in climate change initiatives that threaten the freedom of everyday Americans to live their lives without constant climate oppression. House Republicans recently sent a letter to the executives of the Steering Committee for Climate Action 100+ demanding all documents pertaining to NZAM's network of influence. The following states have also taken their own individual action: • Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich back in August led a coalition of 19 states to warn BlackRock about potential antitrust violations associated with its push for mass adoption of ESG standards. • Florida pulled $2 billion in an anti-ESG divestment from BlackRock along with an announcement from the state's CFO that the plan is to fully divest from BlackRock's management in early 2023. • Texas recently subpoenaed BlackRock for documents pertaining to the ESG agenda because it is believed that the company is ""using Texans' money to force a narrow political agenda."" • Louisiana did much the same as Florida by pulling $794 million from BlackRock over the ESG scandal. • Missouri recently ""sold all public equities managed by BlackRock, Inc., pulling approximately $500 million in pension funds from the investment manager"" over the ESG agenda. • Utah likewise pulled $100 million in funds from BlackRock. • West Virginia and Arkansas also both pulled funds from BlackRock for similar reasons. As of this writing, Vanguard is no longer part of NZAM but BlackRock still is, hence all these moves by Republican-led states to punish the world's largest asset manager. Other major financial institutions that are part of NZAM include Fidelity Investments, State Street Global Advisors, Morgan Stanley, and JPMorgan Chase. The following are also signatories of NZAM: • Brookfield Asset Management • Coutts & Co. • Rockefeller Asset Management • Rothschild & Co Asset Management Europe • Royal London Asset Management The stated goal of NZAM is to move portfolio companies closer to eliminating all ""net carbon emissions"" by the year 2050 or sooner. Vanguard says its decision to withdraw from this agenda hinges upon its desire to ""provide the clarity our investors desire about the role of index funds and about how we think about material risks, including climate-related risks."" The move also came after multiple attorneys general filed motions with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to block Vanguard from purchasing shares in publicly traded utility companies due to concerns that its climate agenda might further increase energy prices while decreasing grid reliability. ""Vanguard realized their entire business model could be at stake if they didn't stop coordinating with other members to drive up energy costs,"" announced Consumers' Research Executive Director Will Hild, whose organization also filed a similar motion with the same agency. ""We've struck a serious blow to the anti-consumer ESG agenda and we are going to keep fighting until these asset managers and banks get back to fulfilling their fiduciary duties and stop playing politics with other people's money.""

According to the complaint, Vanguard violated its agreement to control utility company shares passively when it went ""woke."" (Related: The collapse of FTX also recently the fraud of ESG, putting Vanguard even more in the spotlight.) NZAM bills itself as ""an international group of asset managers committed to supporting the goal of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 or sooner, in line with global efforts to limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius; and to supporting investing aligned with net zero emissions by 2050 or sooner."" In a December 1 op-ed for The Wall Street Journal , Will Hild, executive director of Consumers' Research, explained in further detail what NZAM entails and why Vanguard's participation in it needed to stop. ""Committing to net zero isn't an abstract goal,"" Hild said. ""The Net Zero Asset Managers Initiative requires its members to prescribe specific emissions targets for industry sectors, especially utilities."" ""The International Energy Agency's net-zero road map envisions eliminating fossil fuels from electricity generation by 2050. That would require every American utility to remake its operations radically."" Republicans are strongly against ESG and other anti-fossil fuel agendas, which fall under the greater umbrella of woke investing. Some GOP-led states are preparing anti-ESG legislation and other measures in an effort to fight back against it. In Florida, state CFO Jimmy Patronis recently announced that the Sunshine State will be withdrawing $2 billion in assets managed by BlackRock in an attempt to stop the woke investing trend. ""Florida's Treasury Division is divesting from BlackRock because they have openly stated they've got other goals than producing returns,"" Patronis said. Seeing the writing on the wall, Vanguard issued a statement about its withdrawal from NZAM, explaining that while sometimes these types of initiatives ""can advance constructive dialogue,"" they also ""sometimes ... result in confusion about the views of individual investment firms."" ""That has been the case in this instance,"" Vanguard added, ""particularly regarding the applicability of net-zero approaches to the broadly diversified index funds favored by many Vanguard investors."" ""We have decided to withdraw from NZAM so that we can provide the clarity our investors desire about the role of index funds and about how we think about material risks, including climate-related risks – and to make clear that Vanguard speaks independently on matters of importance to our investors,"" the statement further reads. When Vanguard was first founded, Jack Bogle created a unique ownership structure in which the company's mutual funds own the Vanguard Group. This was meant to ensure that the interests of investors were put first. ""Overlaying an ESG agenda on fund management and proxy-voting betrays Bogle's founding vision, by using investor assets to pursue social goals – at high risk of harming returns in the process,"" reported Zero Hedge . Even with Vanguard no longer participating, NZAM still boasts having most of the world's largest asset management firms among its 290 signatories. These include BlackRock, State Street, JPMorgan Asset Management and London-based Legal & General. Fidelity and Pimco, and now Vanguard, are three notable exceptions that are not or are no longer NZAM members. The latest news coverage about the woke agenda can be found at .

The implication here is that these people are having to flee their native lands to invade the U.S. and Europe because of ""global warming."" The World Economic Forum (WEF), along with WEF-tied journalist Gaia Vance and others like her, are all pushing the climate migrant narrative in a desperate attempt to ensure the U.S. and Europe are transformed into non-white ""melting pots"" before their citizens figure out the scheme and resist. The clock is ticking, especially now that we are reaching the pinnacle of the information age. The globalist façade of transformational benevolence is quickly losing its luster, so now they are resorting to even more climate rhetoric. (Related: Remember when Germany from entering the country during the covid scamdemic while at the same time welcoming ""migrants"" with open arms?) Earlier this year, the WEF announced that the plan is to usher another 200 million ""climate refugees"" into the West by the year 2050. If this is not achieved, this will create a ""risk to global stability,"" the globalist entity threatened. The World Bank, another globalist-controlled entity, threw out a similar but slightly higher number of 216 million climate migrants, including 86 million just from sub-Saharan Africa, that will need to flood the West by mid-century in order to keep the globalist plot on schedule. In a report entitled ""Global Risks Report 2022,"" the WEF further demands that westerners not only welcome all these climate migrants with open arms, but also allow them to enter and occupy their ""homes, communities, and jobs."" If you want to know why everything is becoming prohibitively expensive, including basics like food and housing, look no further than this flood of illegals into the country. These people are consuming scarce and precious resources while actual citizens suffer. This is what the globalists want, after all. Whites must suffer and give up everything so non-whites can replace them, allowing the powers that be full reign over the planet. One of the biggest things standing in their way are the growing populist and nationalist movements. Even if it was just words, this is the message that President Donald Trump conveyed to the nation with his ""America First"" agenda. The WEF report addresses this, and you can clearly see from the following that the globalists are fearful that We the People will wake up and resist our collective genocide at their devious hands: ""Disillusionment with globalization has fuelled nativist discourses and national interest policies in many destination countries in recent years, ... Many governments, reflecting popular attitudes, have expressed concern about pressures on education and healthcare services, housing capacity and local employment; for others, integration concerns have been a priority."" There are attempts being made to convince Western citizens that this large-scale invasion of 'climate migrants' is somehow good for their countries. The WEF report claims that economic migration ""often has considerable benefits for both origin and destination countries."" This is a lie, of course, as the only people who benefit from such policies are the globalists. Everyone else suffers under the crushing economic pressure of hordes of illegals swarming and occupying once-thriving communities that have been devastated by many decades of globalist meddling.

To this end, they have signed on to the UN Net-Zero Banking Alliance, pledging to achieve net-zero emissions in their lending and investment portfolios by 2050. Seeing this kowtowing to the globalist UN across the country, the 19 AGs bonded together to put a stop to the practice. Epoch Times , the AGs said the investigation seeks to enforce consumer protection laws. They added that a lot of legal issues are at play in their class action against the banks, including anti-trust issues and unfair lending practices. (Related:  .) ""We are leading a coalition investigating banks for ceding authority to the UN, which will only result in the killing of American companies that don't subscribe to the ,"" Missouri AG Eric Schmitt, who is leading the probe, said in a statement. ""These banks are accountable to American laws. We don't let international bodies set the standards for our businesses.” Meanwhile, Montana AG Austin Knudsen warned that companies considering ESG factors in their investments to investors. ""We got involved in this investigation because this is another attempt by the liberal woke left to shove their ideas down our throats. Since they can't change the laws using the political process, they want to do it by weaponizing business,"" he said. ""They are doing this out of some misplaced desire to advance their liberal agenda."" During an appearance on Fox News , Schmitt told anchor Laura Ingraham that the six banks they are probing seek to ""essentially shut down lending"" to entities that do not adhere to the woke agenda. ""For creditworthy applicants who happen to be in the oil and gas industry, the coal industry, the auto manufacturing industry or agriculture where they have diesel vehicles or cows, you know, the stench that everybody's complaining about that pollutes the world, I suppose, as they think – it means that they're going to shut down lending and make everything more expensive,"" . ""That's a real problem."" He mentioned that there is a risk that the six banks would refuse to lend to applicants seeking a loan simply because they don't adhere to such as feminism, the gay agenda and critical race theory. According to the Missouri AG, the six banks are so big that they constitute ""40 percent of the banking assets in the United States."" ""We launched this investigation because the Left is going to do what they could never get done legislatively, which is stuff like this. You have corporate banking and the investment industry trying to flex their muscle and pressure businesses into a political direction and political action.

They talked about how ""man-made"" disasters such as drought, flood, fire, storms, heatwaves and plagues of pests had destroyed their livelihoods. According to the movement, food production contributes almost 37 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. Slow Food President Edward Mukiibi said conventional agriculture seeks to maximize production via large-scale farms that rely on monocrops fed by greenhouse gas-emitting fertilizers, protected by biodiversity-damaging pesticides and harvested by fossil fuel-spewing combines and tractors. ""Industrial farming may be able to produce food cheaply, but it comes with a great environmental cost,"" Mukiibi said. Proponents of the organization pointed out that adopting climate-smart farming practices, and taking a more flexible approach to ""what is farmed where"" will make food production more resilient in the face of climate change. ""But even then, it may not be enough – absent severe reductions in fossil fuel emissions, some places will likely have to in the near future,"" said Aryn Baker, Time 's senior international climate and environment correspondent. Baker added that the movement's ""evangelists"" are promoting change to start with individual choices, including buying local, going organic, reducing meat consumption and avoiding food waste. Analysts are now questioning the reasons why ""grassroots"" organizations such as Slow Food are convincing food producers to self-sabotage and stop using fertilizers, which could eventually stop food production. The whole world is now suffering from the and commodity prices are soaring due to various events, such as the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and war in Ukraine. Sooner than later, lots of people simply would not be able to afford to eat at all.

She highlighted at a news conference on September 29 the necessity of removing the ban on entering Russian ships to foreign ports and foreign ships to their ports. The sanctions on the Russian Agricultural Bank, which handles a great part of transactions related to the agricultural sector, also hinder the export of fertilizers. ""We expect the UN to make efforts to get the Europeans and Americans to remove a number of obstacles that do not allow us to supply Russian fertilizers and grain to the world market fully,"" Zakharova said. ""We are talking about permission for Russian ships to enter European ports, foreign ships to enter Russian ports, it is necessary to lift sanctions from Rosselkhozbank, because it handles the lion's share of all transactions with fertilizers and food."" In July, the conflicting countries signed a UN-brokered deal to resume grain exports through the previously barricaded Black Sea ports. The agreement also indicated the UN's commitment to helping remove the sanctions on exports of Russian food products and fertilizers. However, Russian President Vladimir Putin criticized this arrangement and said ""almost all the grain exported from Ukraine"" was sent to the European Union instead of going to the poorest developing countries.

""The COVID lockdowns were literally a version of what they've called for decades in the climate movement,"" said Morano. ""I attend every United Nations climate summit and I'm going to the one in Egypt this year … and what these summits call for is the 'degrowth movement,' or 'planned recessions,' to fight global warming. And what that means is the government imposes slower economic growth or forces a recession to lower emissions."" Morano pointed out that the globalists are claiming that the lockdowns and the reduction of so-called emissions are just tools for . ""If you live under authoritarianism, if you live under government control of every aspect of your life, you're solving viruses, you're solving climate,"" said Morano. ""The point is, they want control and they'll do whatever they have to, whether it's a virus, whether it's climate, you name it – they want to invoke emergency powers. That's really what this is about: emergency powers to bypass democracy."" Organizations like the United Nations (UN) and the World Economic Forum have praised the COVID-19 lockdowns and compliance with them for their ability to reduce global emissions. Morano noted that in 2019, the UN said the world needed to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by around seven percent every year to meet the goals stated in the Paris Climate Agreement. ""One year later, because of the lockdowns, we had a seven percent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions,"" said Morano. ""It was almost like the UN called it."" Morano also pointed out how leading members of the UN have praised the lockdowns for how great they supposedly were for the environment, even quoting one climate chief who called lockdowns and the ""global shutdown of the economy"" the only way to meet the UN's climate targets. The UN is not the only organization calling for climate-related lockdowns. The WEF for their ability to ""demonstrate the core of individual social responsibility"" and for helping pave the way for the acceptability of climate-related restrictions on freedom of movement and economic participation. (Related: ) This comes from a recent report released by the WEF suggesting that policies to track and restrict personal carbon usage could be implemented with widespread compliance almost overnight, thanks to the example of the COVID-19 lockdowns. ""A huge number of unimaginable restrictions for public health were adopted by billions of citizens across the world,"" the report stated. ""There were numerous examples globally of maintaining social distancing, wearing masks, mass vaccinations and acceptance of contact-tracing applications for public health."" This compliance could help realize the WEF's goal of making people live without emitting too much carbon in their daily lives. More stories about the so-called climate change can be found at .

""[Left-leaning] political activists … changed Greenpeace from a science-based organization to a political fundraising organization,"" said Moore, who left Greenpeace in 1986, 15 years after he co-founded the organization. (Related: ) Moore added that the global ""environmental"" movement no longer cares about the environment because it has turned into a political movement. ""They are primarily focused on creating narratives, stories that are designed to instill fear and guilt into the public so the public will send them money,"" he wrote. He said so-called environmentalists mainly operate behind closed doors using front organizations like the World Economic Forum and the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the latter of which he referred to as ""not a science organization,"" but a political one. Moore further said the IPCC does not rely on science but instead hires so-called scientists to provide it with fraudulent information and studies that support the cause of declaring . Moore warned that the campaigns of environmental groups like Greenpeace against things like fossil fuels, carbon emissions and the widespread use of plastics are misguided. Their goal is not to make the environment better, but to get people to be so afraid of the world coming to an end that they will accept whatever measure is necessary to save it. This includes ""crippling our civilization and destroying our economy."" ""They are now a negative influence on the future of both the environment and human civilization. Today, the left has adopted many policies that would be very destructive to civilization as they are not technically achievable,"" said Moore. As evidence, he pointed to the energy crisis in renewable energy-dependent Europe and how the continent's vulnerability is being exploited by Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has no aversion to using fossil fuels like natural gas. ""This crisis is of their own making in refusing to develop their own natural gas resources, opposing nuclear energy and adopting an impossible position on fossil fuels in general,"" said Moore. Moore lamented how Greenpeace, an organization so named because it was supposed to stand for the environment and the people, has forgotten the latter and is solely focused on its green agenda. He scoffed at the environmental activists and leaders who believe that the environment would be in a better place if fewer people were alive. ""But the people who said this were not volunteering to be the first to go away,"" said Moore. ""They behave as if they are superior to others.""

DiCaprio was part of this, , having been the recipient of embezzlement money that prompted the Department of Justice (DOJ) to request an asset seizure of the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation. The watchdog group Government Accountability & Oversight (GAO) obtained the emails and passed them on to Fox , which is blowing the lid on how DiCaprio and his pals within the climate brigade are doing everything they can to tear down the fossil fuel industry. ""In their emails, Emmett and Carlson discuss how Chuck Savitt, Sher Edling's director of strategic client relationships, had sought Emmett's support and had already received support from Terry Tamminen in his role as the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation's CEO, a title he held between 2016 and 2019,"" reports explain. ""When the emails were exchanged, Carlson, who is now a senior Biden administration official, served as co-director of the UCLA Emmett Institute on Climate Change & the Environment, the advisory board which Emmett still chairs."" Part of that email exchange occurred on July 22, 2017, and three days prior Emmett had forwarded a message that Savitt sent him asking for his support. In these emails, it was further revealed that Edling's first lawsuits were filed with the support of the Collective Action Fund for Accountability, Resilience and Adaptation, a fund managed at the time by dark money group Resources Legacy Fund (RLF). ""Wanted to let you know that we filed the first three lawsuits supported by the Collective Action Fund on Monday,"" Savitt told Emmett. ""These precedent setting cases call on 37 of the world’s leading fossil fuel companies to take responsibility for the devastating damage sea level rise – caused by their greenhouse gas emissions – is having on coastal communities."" One wonders how DiCaprio became a climate crusader willing to risk his entire livelihood for the cause. Perhaps he is traumatized from his work on the movie Titanic , possibly believing that the ship sank because of a climate-induced iceberg? Or perhaps DiCaprio is just a nutcase like many others in Hollywood who believe every climate lie that comes down the pike. These people are convinced, it would seem, that the only way to ""cool"" the planet is to ban every source of reliable energy that society needs in order to function. The email exchanges between all these folks went on for years afterwards. It was further revealed in many of them that other globalist organizations such as the Rockefeller Brothers Fund are also involved, and are seeking to dismantle the fossil fuel industry with relentless litigation. ""Obviously, the donors created – including DiCaprio – several purported arms' lengths,"" Chris Horner, a lawyer who represented the GAO in the case involving the emails, told Fox in an interview. ""This model used a couple of pass-throughs, by which DiCaprio and, it appears, Dan Emmett and others could run things, including DiCaprio's foundation and Resources Legacy Fund, and they're not seen as financing the assault."" Between 2017 and 2020, the RLF contributed more than $5.2 million to Edling, according to the group's tax filings during that period. The latest news about climate fanaticism can be found at .

It bans healthcare providers from performing ""gender transitioning or gender reassignment procedures"" on children below 18 years old. Under the law, the Texas Medical Board is to revoke the licenses of offending physicians and the office of the State Attorney General is allowed to bring actions to enforce it. In particular, SB 14 outlaws sterilizing surgeries, including castrations and hysterectomies, mastectomies and procedures to ""remove any otherwise healthy or non-diseased body part or tissue"" on minors. It also criminalizes the prescription and dispensing of puberty blocking drugs or cross-sex hormones. (Related: ) Moreover, it also blocks public funding for any entity or individual that ""provides or facilitates gender transition"" procedures for children. It also bans Medicaid reimbursement and public health coverage for the practices. Republican State Sen. Donna Campbell, SB 14's author, described her proposal as a ""child protection act."" She said: ""The children need counseling and love, not blades and drugs."" SB 14 passed in a 19-11 vote along party lines to take effect on Sept. 1, 2023. However, the bill includes exceptions for children with precocious puberty – which SB 14 described as a  ""medically verifiable genetic disorder of sex development"" – and an abnormal sex chromosome structure as determined through genetic testing. The current version of the bill is also watered down following Campbell's collaboration with Democratic State Sen. Jose Menendez. His amendment allowed minors already receiving puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones 90 days before the bill take effect to continue doing so. SB 15, which seeks to protect fairness in sports, was also passed by the Texas Senate on March 29. The bill prevented MTF trans athletes from competing in women-only events at the collegiate level. In particular, intercollegiate athletic teams from allowing students to compete on teams that are not designated for their sex as reflected by an accurate birth certificate. It also stipulates that female students can compete on men's team if no corresponding team for women is available. The legislation also applies to students from other areas that are competing in the Lone Star State. Higher education institutions that violate the law can face civil lawsuits. Whistleblowers who report violations of SB 15 are also afforded protections. Just like SB 15, state senators passed the bill in a 19-10 vote along party lines. GOP State Sen. Mayes Middleton, the author of SB 15, defended the measure during debate on March 28. He told his colleagues: ""We are watching the denial right now of one of the most basic truths out there, which is a refusal to acknowledge the biological difference between men and women. We hope every woman in this great state has a fair opportunity at athletic excellence through achievement, and this bill protects that opportunity. SB 15 is an expansion of an earlier bill – House Bill (HB) 25 – that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott . HB 25 prohibited MTF athletes competing in K-12 sports events from competing in categories that do not match the sex indicated in their birth certificate or another government record. While HB 25 applies to elementary and high school, SB 15 applies at the tertiary level. GOP State Rep. Valoree Swanson, HB 25's author, told the Texas Tribune that she is ""overjoyed"" by the governor signing her bill into law. ""It's so very, very important that we protect everything that women have gained in the last 50 years,"" she said. Visit for more stories about transgenderism.

As a result, the people who live there are sometimes exposed to hidden chemicals in the soil, which can only be remedied, according to West Oakland residents, by delivering ""climate justice."" Because of the media's constant fearmongering about man-made ""climate change,"" area residents now fear that the waters of the San Francisco Bay will rise so much that pockets of pollution will end up getting strewn across their yards and in their local playgrounds. More than 130 sites, they claim, are now at risk of contamination. So-called ""climate scientists"" are also fueling the paranoia by publicly warning that plumes of toxic waste will migrate underground as sea levels rise, exposing people of color to contamination. ""These are environmental health issues that need to be addressed now,"" proclaimed Rachel Morello-Frosch, a researcher with Toxic Tides, a program of UC Berkeley that receives funding to fearmonger about this mythical threat. (Related: In order to make penance for ""climate justice,"" Reuters is mass depopulation of the planet.) Frosch reportedly told NPR that she believes financial reparations need to be delivered immediately in order to save West Oakland's communities of color from the toxic tides – but only those with dark skin, apparently. White people who live in the area are of no concern, it would appear since the demanded climate reparations are also supposedly necessary to address ""historical racism in housing, economics, and the policies of the past,"" to quote one news source. ""The reparation movement is the next level of civil rights,"" said 75-year-old black woman, environmental activist, and area resident Margaret Gordon, who says she fears that hidden underground toxins will only add to the severe environmental challenges in West Oakland. ""We should not be in a position of just surviving – we should be thriving,"" she added. ""There's tons of pollution, or toxics, in the ground. You cannot put up a garden without having your soil tested. It still comes down to race."" What Gordon meant by ""it still comes down to race,"" in this context, would seem to imply that only black people are dealing with toxins in West Oakland. Area residents with white or light skin are apparently not under any threat from hidden underground toxins, and thus do not need or deserve any climate reparations. In Gordon's view, climate justice will help ""historically marginalized communities,"" to quote the DailyMail Online (U.K.), to repair the harm caused by past decisions to allow toxic industries to operate in their neighborhoods, ""essentially devaluing the lives of black people."" ""Let's talk about reparations,"" Gordon said. ""We would have longstanding sustainability. I would know there's going to be housing for my children and grandchildren, so there'll be a job for them."" Gordon told the media that she believes black people in West Oakland were confined to the toxic neighborhoods because of racist lending policies, which prevented them from seeking housing elsewhere. ""The full freedom to say, 'I can leave or I can stay,'"" Gordon demanded. ""Or, 'I have the freedom, the values, and the finances to make the future I want.'""

And, the World Economic Forum was founded in 1971. The time period is often depicted in films as a happy-go-lucky era of disco, drugs, hippies and rock n’ roll, but the reality is that the early 1970s was the beginning of the end for the west – it was the moment that our economic foundations were sabotaged and the affluence of the middle class was slowly but surely stolen by inflation. In the midst of this economic “malaise,” which Jimmy Carter later referred to as a “crisis of confidence,” the United Nations and associated globalist round table groups were hard at work developing a scheme to convince the population to embrace global centralization of power. Their goals were rather direct. They wanted: A rationale for governmental control of human population numbers. The power to limit industry. The power to control energy production and dictate energy sources. The power to control or limit food production and agriculture. The ability to micromanage individuals lives in the name of some later defined “greater good.” A socialized society in which the individual right to property is abandoned. A one-world economic system which they would manage. A one-world currency system. A one-world government managing a handful of separate regions. One of the most revealing quotes on the agenda comes from Clinton Administration Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbot, who   that: “ In the next century, nations as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority… National sovereignty wasn’t such a great idea after all.” To understand how the agenda functions, I offer a quote from globalist Council on Foreign Relations member Richard Gardner in an article in Foreign Affairs Magazine in 1974 titled  : “ In short, the “house of world order” will have to be built from the bottom up rather than from the top down. It will look like a great “booming, buzzing confusion,” to use William James’ famous description of reality, but an end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, will accomplish much more than the old-fashioned frontal assault.” In other words, the globalists knew that incrementalism would be the only way to achieve a one-world power structure that OPENLY governs, rather than hiding the rule of elitists behind clandestine organizations and puppet politicians. They want a global empire in which they become the anointed “Philosopher Kings” described in Plato’s Republic. Their narcissistic egos cannot help but crave the adoration of the masses they secretly hate. But even with incrementalism, they know eventually the public will figure out the plan and seek to resist as our freedoms are eroded. Establishing an empire is one thing; keeping it is another. How could the globalists come out of their authoritarian closet, eliminate individual freedoms and rule the world without a rebellion that ultimately destroys them? The only way such a plan would work is if the people, the peasants in this empire, EMBRACE their own slavery. The public would have to be made to view slavery as a matter of solemn duty and survival, not just for themselves but for the entire species. That way, if anyone rebels they would be seen as a monster by the hive. They would be placing the whole collective in danger by defying the power structure. Thus, the globalists win. Not just for today, they win forever because there would no longer be anyone left to oppose them. We got a big taste of this brand of psychological warfare during the pandemic scare, in which all of us were told that a virus with a tiny Infection Fatality Rate of 0.23% was enough to erase a majority of our human rights. Luckily, a large enough group of people stood up and fought back against the mandates and passports. That said, there is a much larger “greater good” agenda at play that the globalists plan to exploit, namely the so-called “climate crisis.” To be clear, there is ZERO evidence of a climate crisis caused by man-made carbon emissions or “greenhouse” gas emissions. There are no weather events that are out of the ordinary in terms of Earth’s historic climate timeline. There is no evidence to support “tipping point” theories on temperatures. And, the Earth’s temps have risen less than 1°C in 100 years. The official temperature record only goes back to the 1880s, and this narrow timeline is what UN and government funded climate scientists use as a reference point for their claims. I explain why this is fraudulent science in my article   The point is, the UN has been promoting hysteria over a fake doomsday climate scenario, just like the WEF and WHO promoted hysteria and fear over a non-threat like covid. And, it all began back in the early 1970s with a group tied to the UN called The Club of Rome. The globalists have been scheming to use environmentalism as an excuse for centralization since at least 1972 when the Club Of Rome published a treatise titled ‘The Limits Of Growth’. Funding a limited study of industry and resources in a joint project with MIT, the findings appeared to be scripted well ahead of time – The end of the planet was nigh unless nations and individuals sacrificed their sovereignty. How convenient for the globalists bankrolling the study… Twenty years later they would publish a book titled   In that document they specifically discuss using global warming as a vehicle to form supranational governance: “ By making humanity’s very existence the great threat, the globalists intended to unify the public around the idea of keeping themselves in check. That is to say, the public would have to sacrifice their freedoms and submit to control in the belief that the human species is too dangerous to be allowed liberty. The following news special from the Australian Public Broadcasting Service was aired in 1973, not long after the Club Of Rome was founded. It is surprisingly blunt about the purposes of the organization: What can we derive from this broadcast and its message? The globalists want two specific outcomes most of all – They want the end of national sovereignty and the end of private property through socially incentivised minimalism. The exact same objectives the Club Of Rome outlined in the 1970s are the driving policies of the UN and the World Economic Forum today. The “sharing economy” concept that Klaus Schwab and the WEF often proudly promotes was not thought up by them, it was thought up by the Club Of Rome 50 years ago. It’s a self fulfilling prophecy: They spend half a century inventing a crisis, drum up public terror, and then offer the very solutions they wanted to enforce decades ago. In the end, the climate agenda has nothing to do with environmentalism and everything to do with economics. The plan began in the midst of a very real stagflationary crisis, a moment when the middle class populace was most afraid for the future and prices were rising rapidly. This crisis was not caused by the scarcity of resources, it was caused by the mismanagement of the financial system. It’s not a coincidence that the culmination of the global warming scheme is taking place today just as another stagflation disaster is upon us. The Club of Rome is now a shell of its former glory filled with silly hippies, most likely because the UN and other globalist think-tanks have taken on the role the group used to play. However, the shadow of the original Club is ever present and its strategy of climate fear-mongering is being wielded right now to justify increasing government suppression of energy and agriculture. If they are not stopped by the public, totalitarian carbon mandates will become the norm. The next generation, living in engineered poverty, will be taught from early childhood that the globalists “saved the world” from a calamity that never really existed. They will be told that the enslavement of humanity is something to be proud of, a gift that keeps the species alive, and anyone who questions that slavery is a selfish villain that wants the destruction of the planet.

""To decarbonize shipping, you either need an onboard carbon-capture system (which doesn't exist yet) or to build new vessels that burn something other than fuel oil,"" reported Greg Miller, writing for Freight Waves . ""The regulations on this new fuel haven't been written yet. So, why would tanker owners in the business of making money accept the residual-value risk of ordering ships that could be prematurely obsolete after the rules are written? ... The answer is: They haven't and they won't. There is now a historically low number of crude and product tankers on order."" (Related: Check out our about the dismal state of the American food supply chain due to covid.) The situation is almost as severe on the product tanker side, the orderbook-to-fleet ratio of which has cratered to just 6.1 percent. And once again, it is because nobody wants to order new ships that rely on fuel technologies that are slated for tougher regulations. ""We are now seeing what happens when you go several years without investing [in new capacity],"" said Jefferies analyst Omar Nokta about the dire situation. Crude and product tanker owners only just recently started making money again after several dismal years of covid-induced supply chain failures, with 2020 and 2021 being the two worst years for the industry in 30 years. ""There is a two- to three-year lag between when an order is placed and when a new tanker is delivered,"" Miller further explained about how the industry typically works. ""These assets last 20-25 years. Thus, a newbuild ordered today will likely be in service in 2050."" ""If the world is actually decarbonizing and shifting away from consumption of dirty fossil fuels, what are tankers ordered today going to carry in the latter years of their life spans?"" The answer, of course, is that they will potentially carry nothing , hence why nobody is placing any new orders. In essence, the global shipping industry appears to be screeching to a halt, both due to climate hysteria and covid hysteria, which together have decimated both the tanker industry and global supply chains at large. According to Bob Burke, CEO of Ridgebury Tankers, the overall lack of tank orders has nothing to do with capital discipline, which does not even exist in a market like this. ""It's just not in our own best interest to order expensive ships with uncertainty over propulsion systems,"" he said. ""For a ship that will be delivered two and a half years from now, at historically high prices, with a capital drag until delivery and when you don't know whether the propulsion system is going to last very long, it is really hard for a shipowner to go out and take a flier on something like that without a charter from an oil company."" The only people currently placing orders for new tankers either have some kind of tax incentive to do so or they are receiving backing from a longer-term charter, ""typically for a dual-fuel design,"" added Maersk Tankers CEO Christian Ingerslev. ""Otherwise, there's nothing being ordered."" More related news can be found at .

What they do not necessarily believe, though, is that humans are directly responsible for this. While there is no way to definitively know what percentage of scientists believe in man-made global warming, it is safe to say that the figure is nowhere close to 97 percent. In fact, it is likely half that or less, meaning most rational scientists are either unsure or do not believe that humans eating meat and driving cars is warming the planet to the point of a potential collapse. ""What is impossible to quantify is the actual percentage of warming that is attributable to increased anthropogenic (human-caused) CO2,"" Wrightstone wrote. ""There is no scientific evidence or method that can determine how much of the warming we’ve had since 1900 that was directly caused by us."" ""We know that temperature has varied greatly over the millennia. We also know that for virtually all of that time, global warming and cooling were driven entirely by natural forces, which did not cease to operate at the beginning of the 20th century."" ""The claim that most modern warming is attributable to human activities is scientifically insupportable. The truth is that we do not know. We need to be able to separate what we do know from that which is only conjecture."" (Related: The U.S. government also knows that human activity doesn't change the climate, but the Biden regime has from official government sources.) The ""97 percent"" that gets thrown around as a metric of alleged support among the scientific community for the man-made climate change theory actually has its origins in a 2004 paper cited by none other than former Vice President Al Gore, who included it in his ""An Inconvenient Truth"" fiction book. A professor named Klaus-Martin Schulte, an eminent London surgeon, reviewed the work cited in Gore's book and found that only a fraction of the studies cited in the paper Gore referenced in his book endorsed the ""consensus"" position on man-made climate change. In fact, just 45 percent – less than half – supported this notion. ""There appears to be little basis in the peer-reviewed scientific literature for the degree of alarm on the issue of climate change which is being expressed in the media and by politicians, now carried over into the medical world and experienced by patients,"" Schulte concluded. The ""97 percent"" consensus that allegedly supports the man-made climate change theory means nothing. ""Science does not advance through consensus, and the claim of consensus has no place in any rational scientific debate,"" Wrightstone wrote. The climate is always changing, and has been since the beginning of time. To learn more, visit .

This ""technology push,"" as they call it, will more than likely fail because the ""pipeline for salvation technology is long and the benefit is hypothetical."" ""Like the character Wimpy from Popeye, technology developers want their hamburger today but will pay back society with climate solutions on some future Tuesday,"" the paper reads. (Related: Climate fanatics because they know their arguments collapse whenever challenged.) To throw more biotech at the situation only addresses the symptoms of climate change, the paper further purports. It does nothing to address the root cause of ""environmental degradation,"" which ironically enough is caused, in part, by biotech ""solutions"" such as genetically modified (GMO) crops sprayed with noxious chemicals. Much of the earth is already profusely saturated with all that biotech poison, and now the climate brigade wants more of it to be developed as a fix. It is nonsensical, and yet it is the best way forward, we are told. While there is something to be said for technological adaptation to unexpected or undesired changes to our world, it is almost always better to try to work with nature and adapt to its changes rather than to try to change nature to adapt to what some climate extremist wants. Truth be told, there is no such thing as man-made climate change and the world is not in a crisis – at least not a crisis that can be fixed by humans. Those claiming it can are in pursuit of grant money, or perhaps they simply belong to the Cult of Climate Change and want to force their religion upon the world for personal reasons. Whatever the case may be, Hiscox and Heinemann are right: biotech is not the answer. And those who think it is should not be receiving any money from taxpayers to explore their ridiculous pursuits. ""University of Canterbury academics Tessa Hiscox and Professor Jack Heinemann to biotech: Get your own corporate sugar Daddy. Don't be poaching off our 'Big Government,'"" joked one commenter, making a very good point about what the paper suggests. ""Anything can solve a non-existent problem,"" wrote another, referring to the hoax of man-made climate change. Numerous others made similar comments about how there is simply no evidence of a climate crisis, no matter how much fearmongering is injected into the conversation. ""What climate crisis? Someone come forth and tell all of us here what it is we have so wrong. And if you are unable to do so, then stop with this climate crisis nonsense,"" one of them wrote. ""I agree there is no evidence we are experiencing a climate crisis,"" responded another. ""But climate claims are wrong on many levels, and sometimes it's fun to point out the flaws in their argument on their own terms, rather than simply repeatedly pointing out the absurdity of claims that we are currently experiencing any kind of climate problem."" Someone else interjected that the idea of ""green"" or ""renewable"" energy is also a farce as producing electric vehicle batteries, solar panels, and windmills requires plenty of ""dirty"" energy.

It is not enough, apparently, for Big Biotech to control most major crop commodities, including corn and soy, the vast majority of which are genetically engineered (GE). Now, they are going after animals like bison and possibly even hemp crops. the USDA, the effort will ""expand markets for America’s climate-smart commodities, leverage the greenhouse gas benefits of climate-smart commodity production, and provide direct, meaningful benefits to production agriculture, including for small and underserved producers."" announced back in September that $2.8 billion will be thrown at 70 different projects under the first pool of partnerships. In the end, more than $3 billion will be spent ""in pilots that will create market opportunities for American commodities produced using climate-smart production practices."" Two projects in particular that we would like to draw your attention to are ""regenerative bison"" and hemp with ""new genetics."" The USDA is spending $7 million and $5 million, respectively, on these two apparent GMO projects. ""Verified Regenerative Bison Products,"" as the first project is called, aims to introduce altered American bison to tribal lands in the heartland of Oklahoma. The Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes will reportedly be involved. ""The project will develop a demonstration program on tribal lands, implementing and expanding multiple climate-smart markets and practices in production of American bison, and will showcase the benefits of regenerative bison production to rangeland, ranchers, and climate,"" the USDA explains. ""It will also create a new entity to maintain standards of regenerative bison production, track climate benefits and payment for those benefits through the supply chain, and establish consumer trust."" What, exactly, is meant by the word ""regenerative"" in this context? We would like to know the answer to that question because it sure sounds a whole lot like biotechnology and GMOs, seeing as how that is the explicit aim of the USDA's Climate-Smart Commodities program. The other aforementioned project involving hemp is described as a ""scaling up"" of the hemp supply chain to create ""carbon negative feedback for fuel and fiber."" This project will reportedly take place in Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas, and is being spearheaded by Lincoln University . Here is how that project is described: ""This project will help with commercializing and marketing climate-smart hemp crops while driving soil carbon sequestration and climate resilience. The project aims to provide effective valuation and monetization of environmental services, including carbon dioxide removal via implementation of new genetics and management practices to increase sustainability of hemp as an annual crop in the U.S."" What, exactly, do they mean by ""new genetics"" in this context? This one seems even more self-explanatory than the bison project in that mad scientists are planning to tamper with the sacred hemp plant, which is already regenerative and good for the planet, possessing the natural ability to clean up soil, eradicate pests, and improve public health. There is no need for GMO hemp, in other words, but the USDA is on a mission to destroy the natural food supply and replace it with patented, privately-owned fake ""food"" that generates massive profits for a select few while impoverishing and ultimately killing everyone else.

In it, the admission is made that the climate cult is not doing so well these days at advancing its agenda. According to Exposé News , which closely tracks these and other pertinent issues, the document ""reads more like an admission their climate alarmist propaganda has failed and, as we previously wrote, Among the many contributors to the report are the Centre for the Analysis of Social Media (""CASM"") Technology, the Conscious Advertising Network (""CAN""), Climate Nexus, Eco-Bot.net, Friends of the Earth, Purpose, Reset Australia and Stop Funding Heat. The document also contains special acknowledgements to Paula Matlach, Kata Balint, Cecile Simmons, Sara Bundzten and Melanie Smith, all of whom are thanked for their efforts in compiling and contributing to ISD's so-called ""War Room."" ""Why do they need a 'War Room' to defend their 'climate change?'"" asks Exposé News . ""Is their version of 'climate change' so easily deconstructed that they must be prepared to go to 'war' to defend it?"" Even when climate change propaganda is aggressively pushed and promoted to the top of the information heap on social media and in search engines, people are still choosing information that supports a more skeptical view, the report reveals. On Facebook, a social media platform that actively promotes global warming propaganda, users continue to ignore it and choose alternative and independent content that calls into question the official climate dogmas. Using the same rhetoric that they pushed throughout the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) plandemic , ISD further warns that climate misinformation is a ""super-spreading"" problem online, and that more must be done to steer the narrative in favor of the globalists. On Twitter, another globalist narrative-pushing social media outlet, there are at least 16 accounts that ""super-spread"" climate misinformation, along with 13 additional sub-groups that do the same, according to Graphika, which conducted a network analysis referenced by ISD. ""From 25 October to 21 November 2021, tweets and quote tweets from the 16 accounts referenced above amassed a total 507,000 likes and retweets ('interactions') on climate narratives alone,"" the report explains. ""This includes individuals such as Michael Shellenberger, John Stossel, Bjorn Lomborg and Patrick Moore."" Shellenberger, by the way, is a bestselling author and one of North America's ""leading public intellectuals on clean energy."" He is an environmentalist, but a ""pro-human"" one who does not appear to buy into the mainstream climate narratives that Soros and his cronies are desperately trying to push. ISD is further annoyed that social media ""fact-checkers"" are letting too much content for their liking slip by and get shared and re-tweeted. Calling fact-checking the "" "" in maintaining the climate narrative, the ISD report states that: ""... we found little evidence of any enforcement against known disinformers, even during critical moments like a global climate summit or extreme weather event."" The fact of the matter is that without users who question the narrative, social media would already be dead in terms of usage. Nobody wants to use a platform that disseminates nothing but government propaganda, which ISD is demanding. Facebook, Twitter and the others know this, which is why they are half-heartedly ""fact-checking"" while leaving the highest use ""disinformer"" accounts active.

Backup IP: http://45.89.97.6 This site uses cookies " unreliable,"‘Greenhouse gas effect does not exist,’ a Swiss physicist challenges global warming climate orthodoxy – NaturalNews.com (Article by Jerome R. Corsi, Ph.D. republished from ) The theory of greenhouse gases traces back to an 1827 publication by French physicist Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier   “ Mémoire sur les temperature du globe Terrestre ed de espaces planétaires ,” [in English: “ Memoir on the temperatures of the terrestrial globe and planetary spaces .”]  Like many metaphors in science, the greenhouse image is deceptive in that it suggests certain gases like water vapor and CO2 act as a shield preventing infrared radiation (IR) emitted by the sun and absorbed by Earth from escaping at night into outer space. A source as supposedly authoritative as NASA still   on the greenhouse gas effect as follows: “A real greenhouse is made of glass, which lets visible sunlight through from the outside.  This light gets absorbed by all the materials inside, and the warmed surfaces radiate infrared light, sometimes called “heat rays,” back.  But the glass, although transparent to visible light, acts as a partial shield to the infrared light.  So, some of this infrared radiation, or heat, gets trapped inside.  The result is that everything inside the greenhouse, including the air, becomes warmers.” This NASA description is reminiscent of a gardening   that explains the complicated physics in these simplistic terms: “While the sunlight gets in, the heat cannot get out,” a description that attributes the greenhouse effect to heat convection.  But rather than blocking IR from escaping the glazed undercoating of greenhouse gas, atmospheric greenhouse gases “shield” against the escape of IR to outer space by absorbing the escaping IR energy.  Conventional IR physics going back some 200 years relies predominantly on spectrographic analysis, from which is derived the   that only dipole gases like water vapor or CO2 can absorb infrared radiation.  Most of the atmosphere is   of oxygen (O2) and nitrogen (N2), neither of which are dipole gases. In 2016, Allmendinger published a paper entitled “The thermal behavior of gases under the influence of infrared radiation” in the  International Journal of Physical Sciences .  Here Allmendinger addressed the conventional wisdom that “any IR-activity of molecules or atoms requires a shift of the electric dipole moment, so that two-atomic homo-nuclear molecules (like O2 or N2) are always IR-active.”  Allmendinger insisted this proposition “must be regarded as a theorem and not as a principal natural law” because “numerous examples of nonpolar substances are known where an interaction with electromagnetic radiation occurs, e.g., at halogens where even colored and thus visible light is absorbed.”  What Allmendinger found surprising was physical scientists had relied almost entirely on spectrographic analysis to measure the molecular absorption of IR energy by gases.  He stressed that “apparently no thermal measurements have been made of gases in the presence of IR-radiation, particularly of sunlight,” even though the primary climate concern with greenhouse gases involves the thermal absorption of IR energy. In 2017, Allmendinger published an article entitled “The Refutation of the Climate Greenhouse Theory: A Hopeful Alternative” in  Environmental Pollution and Climate Change .  Allmendinger argued for the need to measure thermal absorption to determine if the spectrographic analysis had failed to detect molecular activity that absorbed IR energy in non-dipole atmospheric gasses.  In highly technical language, he explained: “As we know today, photometric absorption is accompanied by the (quantized) excitation of electrons being followed by a light emission, due to the back-jumping of the excited electrons into the ground state. This electronic jumping maybe–but needs not be–associated with vibrations or rotations of the nuclei in the molecule. In solid bodies, and to a certain extent also in fluid media, these vibrations or rotations are not independent but coupled. However, in gases they are widely independent since the molecules or atoms are moving around obeying statistical laws, whereby their mean kinetic translational energy is proportional to their absolute temperature.” He continued: “Nevertheless, in the case of an electronic excitation a part of the vibration or rotation energy may be converted into kinetic energy, and thus in sensible heat, but the fractional amount of this concerted energy is not a priori theoretically derivable but must be determined experimentally. Inversely, part of the kinetic heat energy may be converted into molecular or atomic vibration energy.” Allmendinger concluded: “Thus, in gases two kinds of energy are involved: “internal” energy being related to intramolecular motions, and “external” energy being related to intermolecular motions. The first kind is subject of the quantum mechanics, while the second kind is subject of the kinetic gas theory. As a consequence, photometric or spectroscopic measurements cannot deliver quantitative information about the warming-up of gases due to thermal or other infrared radiation, while such measurements never have been made so far.” Allmendinger constructed an experimental apparatus that enabled him to measure the IR thermal absorption (rather than the spectrographic light wave absorption) of atmospheric gases, including CO2, O2, N2, and argon (Ar). In a 2018 article entitled “The Real Cause of Global Warming and Its Consequences on Climate,” published in the  SciFed Journal of Global Warming , Allmendinger summed up his experimental findings.  Allmendinger’s thermal measurements concluded that “any gas absorbs IR—even noble gases do so [like Ar]— being warmed up to a limiting temperature which is achieved when the absorption power is equal to the emission power of the warmed gas.”  He continued: “It could be theoretically demonstrated that the emission power of a gas is related to the frequency of their particles (atoms or molecules) and thus to their size.” Allmendinger’s experimental tests found no significant differences between the IR absorption capabilities of CO2, O2, N2, or Ar when thermal absorption was measured instead of spectrographic wave absorption.  “As a consequence, a ‘greenhouse effect’ does not really exist, at least not related to trace gases such as carbon dioxide.” The global warming orthodox scientific community has rejected Allmendinger’s work as  , arguing that he “is   with any reputable research institute or university.”  Yet, Thomas Kuhn, in his highly influential 1962 book  The Structure of Scientific Revolutions,  reminded us that scientific paradigm shifts involve revolutions, in which new, competing theories appear first as “heresies.” Challenges to scientific orthodoxy must fight their way to acceptance against a legion of established opponents who have invested careers basing their global warming and climate change views on the greenhouse gas theory.  Thomas Allmendinger’s argument that the CO2 greenhouse gas effect is non-existent bears serious consideration.  The global warming argument fails if CO2, a trace element in Earth’s complex atmosphere, can be proven to have no atmosphere warming abilities not equally shared by oxygen and nitrogen.

The Organic Prepper 's Aden Tate contends, as many of us do, that the AI age is going to change the world for the worse – as if things were not already a horror show as it is. Tate warns that AI will only continue to get ""smarter"" as time goes on until eventually manifesting as ""Super AI"" with ""superintelligence."" Once that happens, AI robots have the potential to replace humanity entirely. ""Picture what you would have if you combined ChatGPT, Midjourney, Grammarly, financial guru AI, facial recognition, 'counseling AI,' and so on other types of AIs together, and think about what you would have,"" Tate writes, comparing what AI will soon become to the Jarvis character from Iron Man . ""What's more, AI learns and adapts incredibly quickly – far more quickly than humans are capable of learning."" In essence, these Super AI robots will function as a genie in a bottle, delivering anything and everything on command from human input. ""Want to talk with somebody about how your day went, what you're thinking, the advice you need, or how you want to make money trading stocks? A 'super AI' would be able to do it and more."" (Related: AI robots are also convincing weak-willed leftists to for the planet.) Another likely prospective use for AI robots of the future is as soldiers in the United States military. As you may recall, the military-industrial complex went ""woke"" in recent years, driving away many recruits who have no interest in serving alongside creepy transgenders and other deranged perverts. Not only that, but the military is having trouble finding willing and able recruits who meet its physical and mental fitness requirements. Quite frankly, Americans are now too fat and sickly to serve as soldiers. They will be replaced with AI soldiers trained to kill without a conscience – and without the need for food, money, or any of the other basics that human soldiers require. ""You're most certainly going to see AI be something of an arms race amongst nations,"" Tate says. ""People are going to do everything they can to figure out how they can weaponize this so that it can be used to protect their people and attack others."" Initially, these AI soldiers will likely be tasked with cyberwarfare tasks such as manipulating the financial markets through ""financial warfare"" – which already seems to be the case with AI-driven supercomputers that engage in high-frequency trading and other forms of market manipulation. ""It could quite literally be used to cause a financial depression in a targeted nation and could even be set up so that it only impacts that nation (or at least predominantly that nation),"" Tate says. ""That AI would be able to understand what stocks and companies a nation needs most, and then go after those."" Finally, AI robots of the future will replace virtually all human jobs. Once the globalists get done depopulating the world to the level they desire, AI will step in to do all the jobs that humans used to do. AI is leading humanity into the great unknown of eternal tyranny. To learn more, visit .

Bowden is also an outspoken skeptic concerning the safety and effectiveness of vaccines, which is another reason why she landed in Savannah's crosshairs. With the help of another online troll named Dr. Danielle Jones, an OBGYN who posts under the handle of @MamaDoctorJones on YouTube, TikTok, and Twitter, put out a defamatory video about Bowden accusing her of ""grifting,"" rejecting science, and profiting from those who questioned the so-called ""vaccine"" for the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19). Savannah helped out by further reporting Bowden to the Texas Medical Board. Bowden used to work at Houston Methodist Hospital but was fired for helping patients rather than drugging them up with experimental mRNA (messenger RNA) chemicals. She continues to face hateful harassment from the likes of Savannah and her followers, who are hellbent on destroying her life for defying their herd stupidity. ""Because she has so many followers, when she makes a video about you, you get an army of people coming after you,"" Bowden said about Jones and her ilk. ""A lot of fake people [writing] reviews. That's one of the biggest things. You can't get them removed. I've tried to get them removed, and I can prove that they're not my patients."" (Related: Facebook is in trying to stop vaccine ""hesitancy"" through harassment and bullying.) It turns out that Savannah and Jones are just two of many online trolls whose views align with those of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which is trying to stop all vaccine ""hesitancy"" and skepticism by unleashing angry mobs of these kinds of people online. Savannah is part of a group called Shots Heard that describes itself as ""a rapid-response digital cavalry dedicated to protecting the online safety of health care providers and practices."" The group is part of The Public Good Projects, or PGP, which says it is a ""public health nonprofit specializing in large-scale media monitoring programs, social and behavior change interventions, and cross-sector initiatives."" One of PGP's other initiatives is called the Public Health Communications Collaborative, or PHCC, which is part of the CDC Foundation, a non-profit arm of the CDC established by Congress. The goal of all this is to ""decrease misinformation and increase vaccine demand worldwide"" using social media influencers like Savannah and Jones to get the job done. The rabbit hole goes deep concerning all the tentacles of this web of harassment and bullying that exist, and who is behind them. What we know for sure is that Congress is responsible for all this, as it is using American taxpayer dollars to help fund the destruction of good and honest doctors who actually save lives rather than collect a paycheck in exchange for mass-drugging the public with experimental drugs.

Among the individuals interviewed in the film was Michoel Green, a Jewish Orthodox rabbi from Massachusetts. Green, which the Times of Israel smeared as an ""anti-vaccine rabbi,"" for discouraging his followers from getting the dangerous injections. According to Green, there was a striking resemblance between how the Nazis demonized the Jews back then and how medical authorities demonized the unvaccinated now. He said: ""What we're clearly seeing here is a reply of the same telltale signs of what precipitated the Holocaust in the 1930s."" The rabbi continued that during the Nazi regime in Germany and the COVID-19 pandemic, authorities engaged in ""the marginalization of that minority"" and identification of the said minority ""as a threat to public health or a public health risk."" ""There is nothing more morally reprehensible than government or authority of any kind declaring other innocent human beings as a public health risk. And it doesn't matter if these people claim to be doing so innocently, for the greater good, because that's what Nazis did as well."" One clear example of this dehumanization that said ""Jews are lice; they cause typhus"" in the Polish language. According to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, the poster was ""designed to link Jews and typhus closely together in the minds of non-Jewish Poles."" It continued: ""Medical professionals repeatedly pushed the false claim that Jews were responsible for outbreaks of typhus – a deadly contagious disease spread by lice."" ""That was right out of the Nazi playbook,"" the rabbi commented, adding that it was exactly what Joseph Goebbels – chief propagandist for the Nazi party – would have done. ""But that doesn't justify marginalization, persecution and apartheid."" (Related: ) The rabbi also mentioned that the discrimination the Jews faced was similar to how from entering many establishments. He cited one instance involving a Jewish Holocaust survivor being invited by an orthodox Jewish college to speak. However, the Holocaust survivor's speaking engagement was eventually canceled ""because she could not show her vaccine papers."" ""What we're seeing nowadays is precisely that,"" Green said. He added that the medical authorities of today ""have become the modern-day purveyors of tyranny, persecution and marginalization of the minority."" Green also blasted the ""genocide"" done in the name of safety perpetrated in places like the city of Shanghai in China, which aligned with the Chinese Communist Party's zero-COVID policy. ""People are literally being left to die. They're being locked into their homes; they’re being denied nutrition, hydration [and] access to medical care in the name of combating an invisible, amorphous disease. That’s exactly what the Nazis were doing."" The rabbi also walked the walk when it came to freedom, as he resolutely kept his synagogue open despite then-Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker deeming public worship ""not essential"" and ordering that houses of worship be closed. ""I decided right then and there, [and] told my wife: 'We are not shutting the doors of our synagogue for one day.' My wife said: 'Well, what if someone gets sick? What if we get sick and die?' [I replied:] 'We have to be ready to die. We have to be ready to die before we allow the government to shut down our religious observances, our right to live and [to] live freely.'"" Green ultimately remarked that such injustices can only take place when safety and security are elevated as the highest values of society. He argued that the two , ""a value worth dying for.""

More than 70 edits to the page about recessions were made before the site locked the entry preventing further changes. The edits successfully de-emphasize the broad consensus definition of recession — two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth — instead parroting the Biden Administration’s talking points.

This definition, from the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), claims that a recession is a ” significant decline in economic activity spread across the market, lasting more than a few months.” Wikipedia Founder Jimmy Wales (Rosdiana Ciaravolo /Getty) What was until recently the broad consensus on the definition of a recession — two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth — remains at the top of the page, but editors have been attempting to remove it. This definition is also described as the United Kingdom’s definition. Bruh — Edvard ? (@le_edvard) The article continues to note, further down the page in a section on the definition, that “in a 1975 New York Times article, economic statistician Julius Shiskin suggested several rules of thumb for defining a recession, one of which was ‘two down quarters of GDP.'” In response to the edit war, senior Wikipedia editors have locked the page on recession, preventing users from making further snap edits to it. Articles that become the subject of contentious “edit wars” are often locked in this manner by Wikipedia administrators — but the lock comes after leftists successfully muddied the waters. The new prominence of the NBER’s definition comes after the Biden administration began citing it in its arguments, backed by a sycophantic media, that the U.S. is not in recession. Via  : White House advisers have repeatedly refused to define what a recession is, but they frequently cite the definition outlined by the National Bureau of Economic Research. The Republican National Committee also dug up old quotes from Biden’s other economic adviser. In May, Chair of the White House Council of Economic Advisers Cecilia Rouse said during a CNN interview  that “Typically, economists date a recession as being at least two quarters of negative growth, and other factors, which we have not seen at all.” That NBER definition is now littered throughout the Wikipedia page on recessions.

Munich prosecutors are leading the investigation, which is focused on seven individuals aged 22 to 38 suspected of supporting or forming a criminal organization. A separate investigation was launched last year into actions taken by climate protesters against an Eastern Germany oil refinery. The group is also for trying to disrupt flights at the Berlin airport and an attack on a $110 million Monet painting at a Potsdam museum using mashed potatoes. The individuals who are the subject of the investigation have been accused of being part of a campaign to finance criminal offenses; they reportedly collected at least $1.5 million for their cause. In addition, two of those being investigated are suspected of attempting to sabotage an oil pipeline running from Bavaria to Trieste in Italy last year. As part of the searches, investigators are reportedly looking to obtain evidence related to the group’s membership structure and finances. Some of the tactics the group has used include blocking roads throughout the country in hopes of pressuring the German government into taking stronger actions to stem climate change. In the past few weeks, they have held up traffic on highways and at busy intersections in Berlin nearly every day. Chancellor Olaf Scholtz has weighed in on the group, commenting that he believed it was “completely nutty to somehow stick yourself to a painting or on the street."" Leaders in the environment-focused Green Party, who are part of Scholtz's governing coalition, have also spoken out against the group, saying their approach is counterproductive. The group appears to be undeterred by the raids, however. “They make us afraid, but we must not be frozen by fear,” Last Generation spokesperson Aimee van Baalen told the media. “The German government is right now driving us toward climate hell with its eyes wide open. It is even stepping on the gas pedal. We must continue to resist now, because we need to loudly demand that lives be protected.” She also took the opportunity to implore the public to support marches they have planned for German cities like Berlin in the near future. Although the group admits that its protests may be provocative, they believe that this is the best way to keep the topic of climate change on people's minds and part of the public discourse. Germany’s Interior Minister, Nancy Faeser, said that police registered 1,600 criminal complaints related to climate protests last year, many of which took place during Last Generation’s road blockades. The UK is also taking steps to by climate activists, giving police in England and Wales new powers when dealing with protestors. For example, any protestors who lock themselves to buildings, objects or each other can now face as much as six months in prison, while interfering with refineries, railways or airports could be punished by up to a year in jail. The way British authorities have responded to these types of crimes so far has been inconsistent. A pair of men who placed a huge banner that caused a bridge on the River Thames to be closed for more than 40 hours were handed sentences of 2.5 years in prison, while activists from a group called Just Stop Oil who stormed the race track during the Formula 1 race in England were spared time behind bars. Just Stop Oil is part of the international known as A22, which also includes Germany’s Last Generation.

Adams announced the scheme this week along with his Mayor's Office of Climate & Environmental Justice as part of the Big Apple's ongoing pledge to stop ""global warming"" in its tracks. During the announcement, the office published a chart depicting New York City's annual greenhouse gas inventory, which supposedly tracks the carbon footprint of individual household food consumption. As you might expect, the scheme targets meat and dairy products as ""bad,"" categorizing them as the worst contributors to climate warming. The solution, we are told, is to stop eating all meat and dairy and instead consume genetically engineered (GMO) ""plant-based"" substances from a laboratory. ""It is easy to talk about emissions that are coming from vehicles and how it impacts our carbon footprint,"" Adams said at the event. ""But we now have to talk about beef."" (Related: During covid, the British government similarly modeled after that of communist China – eat what we say or be punished !) In partnership with C40 Cities, the EcoData lab, and finance giant American Express, the Mayor's Office of Climate & Environmental Justice put together the emissions chart from which Adams made his claims against meat and dairy products. Adams, a vehement supporter of all things plant-based, also announced a new tracking system that will be run by Health + Hospitals, which is the name of his city's public health care system. This tracker will monitor each NYC household's food consumption habits and patterns and publish the data on the same website where data on the city's annual inventory of greenhouse gas sources is published. ""The addition lays out the greenhouse gas pollution involved in the production and consumption of goods, such as alcoholic beverages or apparel, whether or not those items are made in New York City,"" reported Gothamist . ""It also examines the emissions tied to high-polluting services like air travel and lesser known contributors like health care."" According to Adams, one-fifth of all greenhouse gas emissions in New York City comes from the foods New Yorkers are eating. By eating less meat and dairy and more Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods, those emissions can be cut, Adams maintains. This is really bad news for people who rely on meat and dairy for their own unique nutritional needs. It is also problematic for diabetics who, instead of having access to animal fats and meat for sustenance, will instead be driven towards sugary foods like fruit, which Adams says can replace meat and dairy. Adams is basically assuming the role of city-wide nutritionist, even though he is not licensed as such – and in spite of the fact that nobody in New York consented to have him dictate their dietary habits. ""I don't know if people are really ready for this conversation,"" Adams admitted about the widespread pushback that is expected as he advances his plant-based agenda. ""The mayor of New York does not have the authority to force his vegan diet or other lifestyle choices on the people of New York, period,"" responded someone in the comments. ""Not today, not later, not even in a hundred thousand years' time. This is not a legitimate function of government, and it never will be."" More related news coverage can be found at .

The GCIG members come from all over the world, including Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States. (Related:  .) The GCIG lays out five main arguments supporting its claim. First, the group pointed out that the geological evidence proves that the planet's climate regularly varies ""with natural cold and warm phases."" The latest significant variation, known as the Little Ice Age, began at around the 13th or 14th century and only ended around the middle of the 19th century. Next, the organization noted how climate models are ""inadequate,"" and those that claimed the world was rapidly warming are false. ""The world has warmed significantly less than predicted by the IPCC [ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ] on the basis of modeled anthropogenic forcing."" These climate models also ""blow up the effect of greenhouse gases"" such as carbon dioxide, which the organization noted is needlessly demonized. CO2, the group argues, is not a pollutant like climate scientists claim, but an essential ingredient to all life on earth. "" , greening the Earth. Additional CO2 in the air has promoted growth in global plant biomass,"" the group wrote. ""It is also good for agriculture, increasing the yields of crops worldwide."" Furthermore, the GCIG pointed out that, despite claims from climate scientists, global warming has not actually increased the rate or severity of natural disasters around the world. ""There is no statistical evidence that global warming is intensifying hurricanes, floods, droughts and suchlike natural disasters, or making them more frequent,"" the group wrote. ""However, there is ample evidence that CO2 mitigation measures are as damaging as they are costly."" As an addendum to the GCIG's statement, the scientists warned that there is no climate emergency, and climate policy needs to be depoliticized by divorcing it from the hijacked environmental movement. ""There is no climate emergency,"" the GCIG wrote. ""Therefore, there is no cause for panic and alarm. We strongly oppose unrealistic net-zero CO2 policy proposed for 2050. If better approaches emerge, and they certainly will, we have ample time to reflect and re-adapt."" Climate policies moving forward need to actually be in line with scientific evidence. In particular, the GCIG warned that scientists need to recognize that computer models supposedly predicting climate change a man-made, and their predictions are heavily influenced by the ""theoreticians and programmers"" who made them. ""To believe the outcome of a climate model is to believe what the model makers have put in. This is precisely the problem of today's climate discussion to which climate models are central,"" the group wrote. ""Climate science has degenerated into a discussion based on beliefs, not on sound self-critical science. We should free ourselves from the naive belief in immature climate models. In (the) future, climate research must give significantly more emphasis to empirical science."" Furthermore, the GCIG noted that climate policy needs to respect ""economic realities."" ""The aim of global policy should be 'prosperity for all' by providing reliable and affordable energy at all times,"" the group wrote.

Covid was the test run and climate change is looking to be the final act, which makes sense, seeing that the same villains that pushed covid tyranny are gearing up to do it all over again – this time much worse – for the climate. One year ago, some 1,140 organizations sent fake president Joe Biden a letter urging his regime to declare a ""climate emergency."" More recently, a group of United States senators did the same thing. Prior to all this in 2021, the House of Representatives introduced a bill calling on Biden to ""declare a national climate emergency under the National Emergencies Act,"" to which Biden has yet to respond – though he has indicated that he is considering it. Meanwhile, the United Nations (UN) is urging all countries of the world to follow suit. The state of Hawaii, along with 170 local U.S. jurisdictions, have already done so, as have 38 countries, including European Union members and the United Kingdom. About 13 percent of the world's population is now under a state of climate emergency. Once that percentage increases to a critical mass breaking point, all hell will break loose. (Related: The same globalists behind covid and climate hysteria also .) Had two-time failed presidential wannabe Hillary Clinton won the 2016 election instead of Donald Trump, the witch was planning to declare a climate emergency for America even back then. All of this is significant because once a national emergency declaration occurs, it immediately triggers a set of emergency powers allowing the president to act as a dictator without the need for congressional legislation – which is exactly what happened with covid. The Brennan Center for Justice compiled a list of 123 statutory powers that could become available to the president the moment a national emergency is declared. Congress would also be afforded 13 of its own new statutory powers in such an event. ""The scope of these powers is difficult to summarize, except to say that if exercised to their maximum extent, they potentially encompass vast areas of American life,"" reported Technocracy.news . ""For civil libertarians across the political spectrum, from left to right, a 'climate emergency' should be a focus of concern."" Those who value freedom and liberty, both Republican and Democrat, will want to keep a close eye on the climate emergency agenda in order to oppose it at every turn – otherwise we all lose in the end. It was President Trump who first issued a ""national emergency"" over covid back on March 13, 2020. As we all know, that resulted in lockdowns, mask mandates, business closures, suicides, and all sorts of other terror over a ""virus"" that has never even been proven to exist using Koch's postulates. ""This was accompanied by 'public health emergency' orders at the federal and state levels, and by the World Health Organization (WHO), which unleashed an intense phase of lockdowns and a tsunami of health-and-safety rules and restrictions – many imposed on the public in circumvention of the normal democratic process,"" Technocracy.news adds. ""Before that, I might have supported a 'climate emergency' without a second thought. Now, after three years of lockdowns, mandates, censorship and other heavy-handed policies, the trust is gone.""

Videos of the incident show the two individuals attempting to glue themselves to the glass frame while one of them shouted ""I scream for people dying,"" and the other shouted ""I scream when lawmakers ignore science."" Fortunately, ""The Scream"" was encased in protective glass and the painting itself was unharmed. But glue residue was left on the glass mount. The individuals claimed that they are part of Norwegian climate activist group ""Stopp Oljeletinga,"" which stands for Stop Oil Exploration. They said they ""wanted to pressure lawmakers into stopping oil exploration."" ""We are campaigning against ""The Scream"" because it is perhaps Norway's most famous painting,"" said Astrid Rem, the climate group's spokesperson. ""There have been lots of similar actions around Europe. They have managed something that no other action has managed: achieve an extremely large amount of coverage and press."" Norway is a major producer and exporter of oil and gas. Revenues from the petroleum sector contribute to a massive part of the country's wealth and the taxes the government gets from these revenues contribute to the country's high standard of living. As of 2022, oil and gas revenues make up , 49 percent of all state revenues, 17 percent of the state's investments and 64 percent of the country's exports. Ceasing all oil and gas activity would result in the economic collapse of Norway. Environmental activists from organizations like Stopp Oljeletinga in Norway and Just Stop Oil in the United Kingdom have been targeting famous paintings in museums all over Europe. Their goal, as Rem of Stopp Oljeletinga noted, is to garner a large amount of coverage regarding the vandalism incidents and draw more attention to their climate activism in the process. In late October, activists from Letzte Generation (Last Generation) in Germany by French artist Claude Monet in Potsdam Museum. ""We make this #Monet the state and the public the audience,"" the group wrote on its Twitter account. ""If it takes a painting – with #MashedPotatoes or #TomatoSoup thrown at it – to make society remember that the fossil fuel course is killing us all: Then we'll give you #MashedPotatoes on a painting!"" Also in October, activists in Belgium targeted Johannes Vermeer's ""Girl with a Pearl Earring"" in the Mauritshuis museum in The Hague, Netherlands. The Belgian activists were immediately sentenced to two months in prison following the incident. Earlier this month, a similar climate activism group in Spain went to the Museo Nacional del Prado in Madrid and attempted to glue their hands to several paintings by Francisco de Goya. The Spanish activists glued their hands to paintings while one of them spray painted ""+1.5 C"" on the museum's wall. This is a reference to the  Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's claim that a global temperature increase of 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) . Most of the priceless works of art targeted by the vandals are kept behind protective glass cases and are unharmed.

If depopulation is not achieved, according to Dickie, then there will be ""more hardship"" for ""regions already facing resource scarcity due to climate change."" (Related: Man-made climate change is – there is no climate emergency!) Dickie's philosophy is espoused from none other than eco-extremist Dr. Paul Ehrlich, who wrote a book called ""The Population Bomb"" that basically promotes mass genocide as the cure for climate change. Keep in mind that Ehrlich's book was first published back in 1968. Even at that time, climate extremists were scaring themselves and others into believing that the world is wildly overpopulated and in need of a culling. Dickie actually quotes ""The Population Bomb,"" writing that rapid population growth combined with climate change ""is likely to cause mass migration and conflict in coming decades."" Smithsonian Magazine If you have ever seen or heard the term ""climate migrants"" used instead of illegal immigrants or illegal aliens , you have people like Ehrlich and Dickie to thank as they are perpetuating the false notion that illegals are flooding the United States because the ""climate"" in their homelands is degrading. "" Reuters 's propaganda sounded like a scene from Hollywood director Ron Howard's Inferno (2016) when antagonist Bertrand Zobrist railed against overpopulation in a TED Talk-like lecture,"" writes Joseph Vazquez for Newsbusters . ""Zobrist just happened to be portrayed browbeating attendees over the planet's population nearing '8 billion now.'"" Another thing worth mentioning is that in ""The Population Bomb,"" Ehrlich predicted that the world would become so overpopulated that it would eventually collapse ... in the 1970s. Obviously that never happened, which makes Ehrlich's book a work of fiction . That anyone would still be citing it says a lot about the devotion of the climate cult, which continues to rehash its tenets as scientific truth. Ehrlich's promised climate-induced famines that would lead to ""hundreds of millions of people"" starving to death never materialized, obviously. Ehrlich also predicted that children born in the '70s and beyond would ""inherit a totally different world, a world in which the standards, politics, and economics of the 1960's [sic] are dead."" There was one media outlet, Smithsonian Magazine , that dared to call Ehrlich out for his nonsense. A piece published there explained that Ehrlich's anti-population-growth propaganda ""fueled a ... crusade that led to human rights abuses around the world."" ""Did Reuters memory-hole this factoid when it decided to publish a piece echoing Ehrlich’s alarmism?"" Vazquez asks. ""Of course, Reuters made no attempt to distance itself from Ehrlich. In fact, the outlet didn't even mention Ehrlich at all in the article. In fact, Reuters appeared to channel Ehrlich and create its own watered-down version of 'The Population Bomb.'"" In that watered-down version, Dickie contends that policymakers need to take drastic action to prevent nature from being overconsumed as people ""compete with wildlife for water, food and space."" In her view, legislators can push and enact anti-population-growth bills, including mandates that lead to a ""shift in consumption patterns."" It is ""The Population Bomb"" all over again using the same tired scare tactics that never, of course, come to fruition. Want to learn more about the deception surrounding the global warming hoax?

Murphy wrote in her email that ""intimidation and harassment"" of ""climate scientists"" is a persistent problem that must be addressed by Bloomberg . She blamed EPA and GAO directly for this harassment, claiming them to be the ""two organizations that have been most aggressive in requesting scientists' emails, including WhatsApp and Signal correspondence."" Once again, those requests for emails and other information are perfectly legal, perfectly normal , and perfectly reasonable – something that Murphy and her fake news outlet apparently know nothing about. (Related: The Associated Press climate shilling disinformation front that uses psychological terrorism to manipulate the masses into believing global warming lies.) Ironically enough, Murphy and her ilk are the ones who should be requesting said information themselves in order to fact check the fact checkers. If Murphy was a real journalist, and if Bloomberg was a real news outlet, they would be the ones doing this dirty work. Instead, they routinely publish criticisms against others for dredging up whatever information they can about the climate cult and its operations on social media platforms like Facebook, which recently launched a new information cancelation campaign called ""Climate Feedback."" ""That operation is styled as an 'independent fact checker' but (like some media outlets, it seems) on call to try and cancel those who effectively question climate dogma – specifically to date Steve Koonin, Richard Lindzen/PragerU, Bjorn Lomborg, Michael Shellenberger and John Stossel,"" wrote Anthony Watts for Watts Up With That . ""While this cancelation campaign – like Greenpeace's FOIAs – is of course virtuous, asking about public employees' role in it is 'intimidation' and 'harassment.'"" Murphy's requests for material for her hit piece reportedly became more ""urgent"" as the week went on in anticipation of a rumored House ""climate disinformation"" hearing. It seems Murphy wanted to get ahead of that by churning out something to make those probing the climate crusaders look bad. Watts wrote that there is a coordinated effort among media hacks like Murphy, activist public relations groups, social media and some politicians to intimidate and harass those who want to know the truth behind the climate front by claiming that their truth-seeking work is a form of intimidation and harassment. ""That is to say, there's a coordinated media/Hill/activist PR campaign aggressively using government office and other resources to decry opposition to their agenda as a coordinated PR campaign and therefore improper, and that asking for records about how public institutions are used in intimidating, harassing campaigns to cancel opponents is the real intimidation and harassment,"" Watts explained. It turns out that Murphy's ""urgent"" emails, along with many others like it, have been blasted out multiple times on multiple different occasions every time Congress gears up for a climate hearing. Watts calls the hit pieces that are written from any responses received ""props"" that the climate cult uses during hearings to control the narrative.

Not only are gas stoves on the chopping block but so are gas furnaces and gas fireplaces, which the Sierra Club et al. want to force people to replace with expensive electric or solar alternatives. (Related: Are these same crazy environmentalists responsible for across the United States?) Homeowners could, if the effort is a success, be forced to replace all of their existing gas-powered appliances. At least one state lawmaker, Sen. Jerry Sonnenberg (R-Colo.), has called the proposition ""out of control,"" which it most certainly is. ""The petition, sponsored by the Sierra Club, claims fossil fuel-fired home furnaces, water heaters, clothes dryers and stoves emit enough nitrogen dioxide (NOx) and carbon dioxide (CO2) that they must be classified as 'new stationary sources' of air pollutants, placing them in the same regulatory regime as power plants and factories,"" reported the Denver Gazette . Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) also slammed the ""unelected bureaucrats"" that are pushing for this transition, explaining that they ""do not have the power to unilaterally decide major questions"" like this. ""We are facing the worst energy crisis since Jimmy Carter, yet these inflation-loving leftists are more worried about how to take away Americans' reliable heating than they are about creating viable solutions,"" Boebert went on to say in a statement. The Left's obsession with electric-powered everything is laughable, considering that electricity production often requires heavy fossil fuel usage. the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), around 61 percent of American energy comes from fossil fuels, whether it be coal, natural gas, petroleum or other gases. Another 19 percent comes from nuclear energy, which is ""clean"" until there is a meltdown or other catastrophe. This leaves just 20 percent of the grid as ""renewable,"" which can hardly be considered green. Natural gas, meanwhile, is plentiful, easy to obtain, and clean as a whistle, which makes the greenies' crusade against it irrational and just plain ridiculous. ""The Sierra Club is always looking for ways to ban natural gas, but Americans like natural gas because it's safe, affordable, and convenient,"" said Colorado Oil and Gas Association President and CEO Dan Haley. ""Consumers will not take lightly the Sierra Club taking away their gas fireplaces, stoves, and barbecue grills. This petition is going nowhere."" Sonnenberg added in his own statement that both state and federal regulators, at the goading of the Sierra Club and others, are ""creating uncertainty by trying to move everyone to use anything electric, which we don't have enough electricity to power."" ""Nobody wants that except for the regulators who refuse to see the harm they are doing,"" he added. ""The power that these agencies want to exert over families trying to make ends meet with the high inflation is ridiculous. I trust the people to make the decisions that best fit their budget and needs, rather than government telling them they know what is best for these families. Eliminating consumer choices to one option is never a good policy.""

(Article by Peter Caddle republished from ) Nations across the European Union could be facing a future of five-to-ten years of energy insecurity thanks to its climate crazy energy policy, something that saw many countries within the bloc addict themselves to Russian gas in service of their green agendas. Fears are already spreading in many countries in Europe and beyond in regards to the possibility of public unrest as a result of expected financial hardship this coming winter, with government bigwigs in France and Germany expressing concern that citizens could react poorly to what has been termed by the President Emmanuel Macron as the “ “. However, according to Belgium’s energy minister, problems in the EU look set to last far longer than one year, with the government official saying that the bloc could face up to a decade of energy insecurity if action is not taken now. Les 5 à 10 prochains hivers seront terribles si on ne fait rien. Il faut agir à la source, au niveau européen et travailler sur un blocage des prix pour le gaz. On pourrait ainsi réduire la facture énergétique de 770 euros. — Tinne Van der Straeten (@TinneVdS) “The next 5 to 10 winters will be terrible if nothing is done,” minister Tinne Van der Straeten warned on social media, before urging for measures to be implemented at the EU level to curtail the crisis. “We must act at the source, at European level, and work on freezing gas prices,” she continued, while saying in another post that there was “an urgent need to introduce a European price cap”. “Electricity is produced today at a price that is much lower than the price at which electricity and gas are sold,” she went on to claim. “There is no longer any link between the cost of production and the selling price. This European electricity price formation system needs to be reviewed.” ‘End of Abundance’ — President Macron Warns of Public Unrest in France as Energy Crisis Bites — Breitbart London (@BreitbartLondon) Van der Straeten’s claim that action needs to be taken in order to avert further energy misery in the European Union is likely to be seen as reasonable, with many other officials warning about the great difficulties nations within the bloc will face over the coming months. Some have even gone so far as to suggest that some countries within the union could see street violence erupt as a result of financial and resource hardship, with multiple German bigwigs warning of the possibility of  , as well as the rise of right-wing populism in response of years of political mismanagement from the current ruling class. Meawnhile, President Emmanuel Macron has   his fellow politicians that France is facing the “end of abundance”, and that many within the French public may respond to future hardship “with great anxiety”. He in turn has begged the country’s population to “agree to pay the price” of financial and material hardship in order to protect what Macron described as “our freedom and our values”. ‘Any Excuse to Grab More Power’: EU Wants a Centralised ‘Civil Protection Force’ to Fight Climate Change — Breitbart London (@BreitbartLondon) However, while everyone seems to agree that EU nation-states are in for a very hard time as a result of the current energy crisis, Van der Straeten’s demand that the issue is dealt with is fixed by implementing more measures at the EU level is likely only to raise the eyebrows of those who blamed the EU for the current crisis in the first place. For example, Romanian MEP Cristian Terhes has   the current situation on the EU’s green agenda policies, which he says have prevented the bloc from becoming energy independent, and have left the likes of Germany sending millions to Russia for gas despite the ongoing war in Ukraine. He has also since criticised the EU for using crises surrounding climate change as an excuse to  . “These European bureaucrats are not the solution, but the cause of many problems that the EU is facing, and the deeply damaging energy crisis is just a proof of that,” Terhes previously said. “Handing to these irresponsible and unaccountable bureaucrats even more power would just simply be irresponsible.""

From TCS: The Ministry of Environment & Climate Change Canada (ECCC) is building a new facility in Winnipeg that will be home to a firearms armoury, interrogation rooms, biological labs, media relations offices, “controlled quiet rooms,” and intelligence facilities. The plans, which were drawn up by a firm in Winnipeg, open a window into Trudeau’s future plans for Climate Enforcement. Down the hall from the proposed “Firearms Storage” rooms are several evidence rooms, interrogation suites, and adjacent recording rooms. Notice, too, it has an ""intelligence"" room so that Canada's intelligence operatives can spy on farmers and ranchers to see if they might be committing any ""climate crimes"" that could be prosecuted. What sort of ""crimes"" will be prosecuted in Canada using these interrogation rooms and weapons armories? Global governments have recently declared war on Nitrogen, the key element in crop fertilizer, and they appear to be poised to start interrogating farmers who apply nitrogen to their crops. Soon, you will hear news of ""climate confessions"" from farmers who are thrown in prison for engaging in agricultural practices that might produce food. From TCS: Trudeau’s government recently announced a policy to reduce the use of fertilizer on Canadian farms by 30%. This policy has been widely criticized by farmers across the country and by provincial governments in the Western provinces, with opponents saying it will cripple the food supply. Some observers have said that there is reason to suspect that these actions are the first steps in replicating the attacks on farmers that have provoked widespread unrest in the Netherlands and elsewhere in Europe. While the federal government has not yet confirmed it, there is speculation that the water sampling we now know is underway will be used as baseline measurements to enforce reductions in fertilizer usage going forward. Watch and share my powerful mini-documentary called, ""The Globalist War on the Elements of Life"" to understand more about the attacks on Nitrogen and Carbon:   You are free to download, rip and re-post that full documentary. It is crucial to wake people up to the planned global famine that's being rolled out right now. The nation of Sri Lanka, which currently exists in a state of total collapse (government collapse, financial collapse, energy collapse, transportation collapse, debt collapse, food collapse and medicine collapse) began its plunge into destitution when its incoming president . This set off a cascading collapse that still hasn't run its course. As : “After the fertilizer ban, 85% of Sri Lankan farmers experienced crop losses,” writes Michael Shellenberger on his Substack. “Rice production fell 20%, prices rose 50 percent, and the nation had to import $450 million worth of the grain. In Rajanganaya, where farmers operate on just a hectare (2.5 acres), of land on average, families reported producing half their normal crop harvest.” The hardest hit area of Sri Lanka’s food economy is tea, which before the ban generated $1.3 billion in exports and provided 71 percent of the nation’s food imports. “After the fertilizer ban, tea production crashed 18%, reaching its lowest level in 23 years,” Shellenberger adds. “The government’s devastating ban on fertilizer thus destroyed the ability of Sri Lanka to pay for food, fuel, and service its debt.” Now, leaders of other nations want to follow the same path to mass starvation and destitution. , claiming that cow urine is a danger to the planet. Farmers there are being ordered to cull most of their herds so that The Netherlands can meet its ""nitrogen emissions goals"" which are all part of a global scheme to cause mass starvation and population collapse. This insane assault on nitrogen appears to be spreading, and if it is followed elsewhere, it will lead to global famine and misery, since about . Take away the nitrogen fertilizer and there's only enough food to feed half the current population. The other half starves to death. That appears to be the goal. The scheme is already being implemented. Again, if you aren't yet coming to realize what's about to happen, if nitrogen fertilizer is banned by world governments. This appears to be the eventual goal, although they are rolling it out over time (banning 30% now, then 50%, then 70%, etc.). Think Agenda 2030 .

This action will bolster the capacity of the banking system to safeguard deposits and ensure the ongoing provision of money and credit to the economy. The Federal Reserve is prepared to address any liquidity pressures that may arise. The additional funding will be made available through the creation of a new Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP), offering loans of up to one year in length to banks, savings associations, credit unions, and other eligible depository institutions pledging U.S. Treasuries, agency debt and mortgage-backed securities, and other qualifying assets as collateral. These assets will be valued at par. The BTFP will be an additional source of liquidity against high-quality securities, eliminating an institution’s need to quickly sell those securities in times of stress. With approval of the Treasury Secretary, the Department of the Treasury will make available up to $25 billion from the Exchange Stabilization Fund as a backstop for the BTFP. The Federal Reserve does not anticipate that it will be necessary to draw on these backstop funds. After receiving a recommendation from the boards of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Federal Reserve, Treasury Secretary Yellen, after consultation with the President, approved actions to enable the FDIC to complete its resolutions of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank in a manner that fully protects all depositors, both insured and uninsured. These actions will reduce stress across the financial system, support financial stability and minimize any impact on businesses, households, taxpayers, and the broader economy. The Board is carefully monitoring developments in financial markets. The capital and liquidity positions of the U.S. banking system are strong and the U.S. financial system is resilient. Depository institutions may obtain liquidity against a wide range of collateral through the discount window, which remains open and available. In addition, the discount window will apply the same margins used for the securities eligible for the BTFP, further increasing lendable value at the window. The Board is closely monitoring conditions across the financial system and is prepared to use its full range of tools to support households and businesses, and will take additional steps as appropriate. Please don’t just skim those paragraphs. Take the time to read them in detail, because what the Fed just did literally changes everything. From now on, nobody will have to worry that their bank will fail, and the Fed has decided to completely end the war against inflation. If the technical language confuses you, here is  … Translation: the Fed’s hiking cycle is dead and buried, and here comes the next round of massive liquidity injections. It also means that the Fed, Treasury and FDIC have just experienced the most devastating humiliation in recent history – just 4 days ago Powell was telling Congress he could hike 50bps  That analysis is right on the money. I warned that our system could not handle higher interest rates, and higher rates were directly related to the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank. So there won’t be any more rate hikes. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if the Fed started cutting rates very soon. In addition, all of the fresh money that the Fed will be injecting into the financial system now will be highly inflationary. We are being told that the Fed’s plan won’t cost taxpayers a dime, but the truth is that inflation is a tax on all of us. So the financial community may be praising this “extraordinary intervention” by the Fed, but there will inevitably be a very high price to pay for spraying money around so recklessly. The extraordinary intervention: — Travoltage (@Travoltage1) But what other choice did the Fed have? As I have  , our fundamentally flawed system simply cannot survive without artificial support. The gov’t has about 48 hours to fix a-soon-to-be-irreversible mistake. By allowing to fail without protecting all depositors, the world has woken up to what an uninsured deposit is — an unsecured illiquid claim on a failed bank. Absent or… — Bill Ackman (@BillAckman) And as Bill Ackman has noted, if the Fed had just stood by and done nothing we would have been facing a nightmare scenario as early as next week… The gov’t has about 48 hours to fix a-soon-to-be-irreversible mistake. By allowing to fail without protecting all depositors, the world has woken up to what an uninsured deposit is — an unsecured illiquid claim on a failed bank.

By allowing to fail without protecting all depositors, the world has woken up to what an uninsured deposit is — an unsecured illiquid claim on a failed bank. Absent or… — Bill Ackman (@BillAckman) Over the past several days, we really did come to the brink of the abyss. But now the Federal Reserve has come charging to the rescue and so everything is okay, right? I wish that was actually true. As a result of the Fed’s reckless rate hiking strategy, U.S. banks are now sitting on   of unrealized losses. That is “billion” with a “b”, and that is a ticking time bomb that is not going to go away any time soon. Meanwhile, the housing bubble is imploding, we are heading into the worst commercial real estate crisis in all of U.S. history, and now faith in the U.S. banking system has been greatly shaken. This crisis is not even close to over. And every time there is a new eruption somewhere, the Fed will try to put the flames out with generous injections of fresh liquidity. Virtually everyone applauds when the Fed starts spraying money around, but by now all of us should realize that this story is not going to have a happy ending.

Doing this, Ireland's globalist leaders claim, will help the country to achieve its climate goals. Ireland's Department of Agriculture calling for the culling of 200,000 dairy cows is a ""modeling document"" that the government is using to try to meet the climate emissions targets set forth for the United Kingdom. ""The paper referred to was part of a deliberative process – it is one of a number of modeling documents considered by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and is not a final policy decision,"" a spokesperson for the agency said. ""As part of the normal work of government departments, various options for policy implementation are regularly considered."" (Related: The globalist leaders of Ireland as the globalist leaders of The Netherlands, which falsely believe that nitrogen is a ""pollutant."") For some bizarre reason, the climate lunatics have convinced themselves that animals, air, and nature itself is causing the planet to die, and thus must be obliterated. In this case, cows simply existing is too much for the climate lunatics to bear, so they are hellbent on committing bovine genocide so they can feel better about the planet. Never mind the fact that millions will die without the milk and other foods these animals provide: as long as those methane farts are stopped, the climate lunatics can sleep easy at night believing that they are helping to ""cool"" the planet. The corporate media is now going so far as to even blame the entirety of agriculture itself as being ""Ireland's single biggest greenhouse gas polluter, accounting for 37.5 per cent of the country's emissions in 2021."" If the natural gases produced by plants, animals, and humans are erroneously designated as ""pollutants"" in this way, then the greenies will use that – and they are – to argue for the annihilation of it all in order to save the world from life itself. It would seem as though the climate lunatics want all life to end, and for the planet to be devoid of anything that breathes. Plants breathe carbon dioxide and oxygen, and so do humans, in a symbiotic relationship that the climate cult wants to destroy by recategorizing these so-called greenhouse gases as pollutants that must be eliminated. Two-thirds of Ireland's agricultural output is beef and dairy, which is slated for elimination as part of the nation's climate goals. Beyond that, upwards of 90 percent of Ireland's produce is exported, meaning people in other countries will suffer as well. Ireland produces Kerrygold grass-fed butter, for instance, which is sold all across the United States. If Ireland loses these 200,000 cows, will that affect the country's ability to continue providing this nutritious, healthy food to people all around the world? Naturally, the climate cult is arguing that humans simply need to shift away from animal products like butter, dairy, and meat, and instead choose ""plant-based"" foods made from genetically engineered (GMO) ingredients. If saving the planet is really their aim, then why do they want us to eat fake foods made from chemicals that are actually polluting the world in the way they falsely claim meat and dairy animals are?

(Related: .) ""We vowed to take action on the most ambitious in American history and that's exactly what we did,"" said Biden to environmental activists, lawmakers and other guests before signing the EO in the Rose Garden at the White House. ""This is about people's health. It's about the health of our communities. It's about the future of our planet."" The EO also requires all federal agencies about releases of toxic substances from federal facilities and will direct agencies to directly engage with communities, including those on tribal lands. The order also requires federal agencies to conduct new assessments of their own environmental justice efforts. These reports will be made public through a new scorecard system that will help measure the government's progress on environmental issues. Lastly, the EO directs federal agencies to consider and prevent potentially disproportionate impacts of environmental and health harms . This requires agencies to consult with historically excluded communities and ""actively facilitate meaningful public participation and just treatment of all people in agency decision-making."" The new Office of Environmental Justice will be led by a federal chief environmental justice officer, who will be tasked with coordinating Biden's environmental justice policies across the whole federal government. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre called the EO a continuation of what Biden has promised the American people. ""One way that you can look at this today is that he's continuing to deliver on that ambition [climate] agenda,"" she said. ""And he's not done yet."" Republicans, businessmen and everyday Americans alike have criticized Biden's proposal, calling it . The GOP has introduced H.R. 1, the Lower Energy Costs Act, a wide-ranging piece of legislation that passed the House with bipartisan support that pushes back on Biden's climate agenda. This includes restarting operations on the Keystone XL pipeline, rolling back restrictions on oil and gas development and preventing Biden from banning gas stoves. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said upon the passage of the bill that the Biden administration has ""kneecapped American energy production"" with ""misguided policies"" that increase costs for Americans. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer called McCarthy's bill ""dead on arrival,"" and Biden has vowed to veto the bill if it ever reached his desk. The White House, in a statement, erroneously described H.R. 1 as ""a climate and health disaster"" in the making. Alfredo Ortiz, CEO of the Job Creators Network, commented that all Biden's EO will do is make life more expensive for Americans and small businesses. ""While we all want a clean environment, the Biden administration's environmental executive order is nothing more than a Trojan Horse for radical policies that drive up the cost of traditional energy, which is a major input cost for small businesses,"" he said. ""During this period of historic inflation, high gas prices and burdensome energy costs, it is time to recommit to unleashing American domestic energy reserves, not imply that traditional energy is racist,"" added Ortiz. Other critics have accused Biden's EO of being a ""Trojan horse"" for introducing more socialist policies in the federal government. Wayne Crews, a fellow at the pro-free market think tank the Competitive Enterprise Institute, called the EO ""an abuse of federal power and a serious intrusion into our lives and economic opportunities."" ""Joe Biden's new EO is a whopping dollop of massive regulation deceptively packaged as environmental justice,"" commented Peter Navarro during an episode of his podcast, ""Taking Back Trump's America."" Navarro added that it is ironic that Biden will sign an unusually long EO about so-called environmental justice while continuing ""to ignore the plight and pleas of the good deplorable folks in East Palestine, Ohio choking on toxic chemicals.""

The additives contain seaweed, organic acids, probiotics, antimicrobials and essential oils that would reduce the amount of gas produced during digestion – which is expelled in the form of farts and burps. Downing Street's titled ""Powering Up Britain: the Net Zero Growth Plan"" expounded on these additives. It stated that the British government ""will explore the role of industry and government to maximize uptake of such products for suitable cattle farm systems at pace, through a phased approach. This will include the ambition to mandate the introduction of products with proven safety and efficacy in compound feeds for cattle as soon as practically possible in England."" According to the plan, the bovine supplements could be introduced at a pace from 2025 or as soon as possible to meet the nation's commitment to the Global Methane Pledge, which is to reduce emissions by 20 percent by 2030. Green Alliance Policy Director Dustin Benson told the the Telegraph  that suppressants could as well. The former advisor to the National Food Strategy of the U.K. Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said while this is a good start, further action would be needed to reduce the impact on livestock. Vicki Hird of Sustain, an alliance of organizations that promote better food and farming, of the methane blocker plan. She commented: ""Governments and industry love their techno-fixes like cattle feed methane suppressants and these may help a bit. But they won't fix the major harms associated with our huge livestock fixation, from rainforest clearance for feeds and pasture to U.K. river pollution and harm to wildlife, all of which inhibit action on climate, too."" Climate alarmists believe that cows are a big contributor to climate change, with farm animals producing around 14 percent of emissions from human activity worldwide. However, yielding to by means of these methane-reducing cow feed additives comes with a literally huge price – more expensive farming. This essentially translates to higher food prices that customers are forced to live with. Analysts have been denouncing the British government since the net zero strategy's release, blasting Downing Street for its tendency to rely on ""unproven technologies to pursue its climate goals."" A group of 700 scientists slammed the plan for its emphasis on carbon capture and storage, which they said was ""yet to be proved at scale."" (Related:  .) In spite of its aggressive push to suppress cow farts and burps under the net zero policy, the British government somehow admitted that its legally enforceable emissions reductions targets overall. Downing Street calculations showed that the zero emissions policy would only deliver 92 percent of the emission reductions needed to meet the U.K.'s 2030 goal, rising to 97 percent in 2037, which should be a key milestone on the path to net zero by 2050. In a supporting document to the net zero plan, the government said there was ""a judgment to be made whether the policies identified at this stage are sufficient"" to meet the so-called sixth carbon budget, which is in reference to the U.K.'s permitted emissions between 2033 and 2037. Analysts are also saying that incoherent thinking casts serious doubt on the U.K.'s ability to retain its position as a world leader in renewable energy. Tom Burke, the co-founder of the climate think-tank E3G, said: ""It's actually really bad. The incoherence is really transparent.""

If Irish officials refuse to relent on their ""vicious"" net-zero plans, farmers all across the land are promising ""nothing short of an uprising in rural Ireland"" (Related: Check out our about the farmer uprising that took place in The Netherlands.) Ireland's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is right now undergoing its final preparations for the publishing of a report about what the globalists say needs to happen in the country's agriculture sector in order to achieve net-zero compliance. ""If all the changes take place as suggested in the EPA report, 3.1 million acres – or one-fifth of the State's total land mass – will change in use,"" reports The Exposé . ""The report, obtained by the Irish Daily Mail under Freedom of Information legislation, found that to meet net-zero emission targets by 2050, the land and agriculture sector must: – Plant up to 86,500 new acres of land for forestry every year, up from the current target of 20,000 acres per annum, bringing Ireland to a total of 875,000 hectares of land under forestry by the year 2050; – Re-wet 90 percent, or up to 302,000 hectares, of land that is reclaimed from peatlands for agricultural use; – Reduce by 30 percent the number of livestock, such as cows, goats and sheep, in Ireland; – Increase by 30 percent the use of technology in the agricultural sector to reduce methane emissions. Speaking on behalf of Irish farmers, Mattie McGrath, leader of the rural independent members of the Irish parliament's lower house (known as Teachtai Dála or ""TDs""), called the report a ""vicious"" strike against rural Ireland, adding that the government's ""radical green policies"" on farming will have a ""devastating impact"" on farmers. ""If these proposals are implemented, rural Ireland will face mass destruction,"" he said. McGrath would also like to see an unequivocal statement from Taoiseach Leo Vradkar and Agriculture Minister Charlie McConalogue ""assuring us that no reductions in cattle, pigs, goats and sheep will be considered or implemented and that the report will be immediately disregarded and incinerated."" The issue stems from the EU's proposed Nature Restoration Law, which would create binding targets for member states, including the United Kingdom, to ""restore degraded ecosystems."" This includes re-wetting peaty land that was drained in decades past to facilitate farming. The irony to all this is that the EU previously provided assistance to farmers to drain that very same land in order to make it arable, but is now trying to reverse that work by putting farmers out of business. ""This is part of the green agenda and part of a stream of European legislation that is coming in,"" said Irish Farmers' Association (IFA) Galway Chair Stephen Canavan.

There is a coordinated push by liberal world leaders and their puppets in the media, to control what and how we eat, all in the name of their pet agenda of ""climate control,"" along with the attempt by other large media outs attempting to romanticize cannibalism, for lack of a better word, against citing climate change as their excuse for delving into the issue of cannibalism. Seriously creepy stuff.  which takes a ""tasty look at insect foods that could benefit our health and our warming planet,"" for a documentary called ""Edible Insects"" If this was an isolated piece that would be one thing, but it is actually the latest in a long line of articles and shows attempting to control how and what people eat. The specifically want to take meat away from the global population, having convinced themselves that somehow they can ""save the planet"" by forcing people to eat less animal meat. The problem with the climate change crowd is their refusal to acknowledge that all previous predictions and assertions, failed spectacularly, as we are still here. FAILED PREDICTIONS: Via 1130 WISN: 1970:  “The secretary of the Smithsonian Institute believes that in 25 years, somewhere between 75 and 80 percent of all the species of living animals will be extinct.” 1970: Line Magazine - “Scientists have solid experimental and theoretical evidence to support…the following predictions: In a decade, urban dwellers will have to wear gas masks to survive air pollution…by 1985 air pollution will have reduced the amount of sunlight reaching earth by one half….” 1971: Stanford biologist Paul Ehrlich - ""by the year 2000 the United Kingdom will be simply a small group of impoverished islands, inhabited by some 70 million hungry people … If I were a gambler, I would take even money that England will not exist in the year 2000.” Also in the 70s: North Texas State professor Pete Gunter - “by the year 2000...the entire world, with the exception of Western Europe, North America, and Australia, will be in famine.” 1986: NASA scientist James Hansen testified before Congress - “global temperatures should be nearly 2 degrees higher in 20 years, ‘which is about the warmest the earth has been in the last 100,000 years.’” Two years later, Dr. Hansen told an interviewer that in 20 years, the area below his New York City office would be completely changed, most notably that “the West Side Highway [which runs along the Hudson River] will be under water.” The point here is climate change alarmists have been predicting the end of the world, due to climate change, for decades upon decades and they have been wrong every, single time.  because we have much more to cover. THE SATANIC PUSH FOR CANNABILISM After seeing a New York Times articles, linked by  , there were a couple red flags moments, such as the date of the article quite literally being published on July 23, 2022, which is listed under difficult date ""used by cults and various destructive groups."" It is a survivor website of people that suffered abuse related to abusive groups. : 7/17-7/23 Sacrifice of first born males communion with flesh and blood (Thank you to reader Maria for the tip that started my search to find that website) Call it a coincidence if you like, it may very well be, but the next bit of creepiness I noticed was the attempt by the NYT writer to romanticize cannibalism. . The piece is titled ""A taste for cannibalism?"" discussing a ""spate of recent stomach-churning books, TV shows and films suggests we’ve never looked so delicious — to one another."" A couple of key quotes: • Turns out, cannibalism has a time and a place. In the pages of some recent stomach-churning books, and on television and film screens, Ms. Summers and others suggest that that time is now. • The show’s tension is in the knowledge that you know cannibalism is coming, but when? And why? • “I think we’re often drawn to the things that repulse us the most,” Ms. Lyle, 42, said. Mr. Nickerson, 43, chimed in: “But I keep coming back to this idea of, what portion of our revulsion to these things is a fear of the ecstasy of them?” The fear of ""ecstasy"" for cannibalism??? Seriously? • But as his book documents, cannibalism has occurred around the world throughout history, lending these fictional tales a queasy whiff of “what if?” Ok, quick break here to ask a s question of readers... have any of you truly asked yourself ""what if?"" about cannibalism? Another question: Why the hell does the NYT writer think ""what if?"" in regards to cannibalism? As to what may be fueling the desire for cannibalism stories today, Ms. Lyle, the “Yellowjackets” co-creator, said, “I think that we’re obviously in a very strange moment.” She listed the pandemic, climate change, school shootings and years of political cacophony as possible factors. “I feel like  the unthinkable has become the thinkable ,” Ms. Lyle said, “and cannibalism is very much squarely in that category of the unthinkable.” The entire piece has the ""feel"" of normalizing the thought of cannibalism. Movies and TV, and even books are listed as fiction for a reason, but creating an entire article about those, romanticizing the act, making sure to quote people talking  stating things like ""climate change, school shootings and years of political cacophony as possible factors."" Yes, eat your neighbor to save the planet!!!!!! I am waiting for the poster, or full page advertisements in all the major news papers at this rate. This push to force people to stop eating meat, such as the European Union (EU) declaring the ""larval stage of the Tenebrio molitor beetle, the mealworm, is safe for people to eat and it will shortly be on the market as a “novel food,”” with the shortages in the meat sections we have already been documenting over the past few years, and the unprecedented amount of recalls, added  , we are looking at attacks on our foods, specifically meats coming from all directions.

(Related: Remember when CNN added Greta ?) Thunberg appeared at the London event to promote a new book she wrote, which apparently ties climate change to the ""Great Reset"" promoted by the WEF. As explained by Nicholas Harris from UnHerd , Thunberg has gone from making mere suggestions to trying to steer the global financial and economic system into a New World Order. ""Previously, she'd sold herself as a five-foot human alarm bell, a climate Cassandra,"" Harris writes. ""Her role was to warn, not to instruct: her most viral moments involved her scolding political leaders, not trying to supplant them. She strenuously avoided programmatic detail, saying such things were 'nothing to do with me.'"" ""But now, on stage and in this book, she has found her political feet, specifically the Left-wing ideology of anti-capitalism and de-growth."" Many will recall that Thunberg's earliest appearances on the world stage were jaw-dropping all on their own. Who was this climate child in a bright pink blouse barking at the world about the evils of ""endless economic growth,"" and why was she being given such a platform in the first place? After receiving a Tesla and other perks for her message, Thunberg has gone on to become an even more radical and more militant activist than in times past. She believes there cannot be a return ""back to normal"" because the ""system"" that exists now is responsible for the ""climate crisis"" to which she has devoted her life's efforts. Instead of having innocent fun like children of the past used to do, Thunberg has made it her mission to deconstruct the current world order and replace it with the . There can be no justice, Thunberg maintains, without ""climate justice"" (whatever that means). Because few seem willing to adopt the religion of ""Thunbergism"" in all its extremes, Thunberg is refusing to attend this year's United Nations Conference of the Parties (COP), which she describes as a ""scam"" that facilitates ""greenwashing, lying, and cheating."" The only viable solution, Thunberg says, is to overthrow everything as we currently know it. Her belief system goes a step further than normal left-wing climate fanaticism in that it blames the alleged climate crisis on capitalism and other forms of social injustice. ""There's no GDP growth – especially of the capitalist sort – without increasing carbon emissions,"" Harris explains about Thunberg's beliefs. ""The only solution to this state of emergency is for rich countries to immediately abandon economic expansion as a social goal."" In other words, Thunberg's climate agenda, which is going mainstream, is just dressed-up leftism under a different name. It was always about transforming the current world order into an entirely new one. The idea of ""clean energy,"" as admitted by billionaire eugenicist Bill Gates, is also a hoax aimed at de-industrializing the West and plunging its citizens into abject poverty and slavery. Gates even said that the introduction of the ""clean energy"" concept ""screwed up people's minds"" – and we can clearly see that it has. More news stories like this one can be found at .

The university alleged that its Chinese partner defaulted a $2 million payment for the International Laboratory for High-Resolution Earth System Prediction (iHESP). However, security risks were the real reason why the TAMU-QNLM project was terminated. The Department of Defense , alongside some American policymakers, feel that Beijing is using academic collaboration to that could see potential use and application in the military. TAMU's decision to stop the partnership, which began in 2018, followed a letter penned by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) to several universities. Rubio, who is part of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, to ""terminate existing academic and research partnerships with universities located in the People's Republic of China that have been overtly tasked by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to support Beijing's military-industrial complex."" The College Station, Texas-based institution was quick to respond to the Florida senator. Its administrators told Rubio that TAMU had either mitigated or eliminated 200 ""instances of activity"" with a hint of foreign influence. They added that the TAMU system coordinates with the Federal Bureau of Investigation on a regular basis. ""International research collaboration provides valuable opportunities to advance scientific knowledge, but can also present challenges and risks, all of which we are aware,"" wrote TAMU President M. Katherine Banks and Chancellor John Sharp. ""When the decision is made to enter an international research collaboration, risks are identified and measures are put in place to mitigate those risks."" The TAMU-QNLM partnership was not a one-way street, as American researchers managed to gain access to China's Sunway TaihuLight supercomputer for climate-related research. Nevertheless, the project's termination about halfway through its five-year-timeline was a good development for Pentagon pundits and national security experts. However, national security expert Jamil N. Jaffer believes . Jaffer, the founder and executive director of the National Security Institute at George Mason University 's Antonin Scalia Law School, gave two reasons why Beijing intentionally targets U.S. universities. First, American universities are hotbeds of research and innovation. Second, Americans generally respect academic freedom and open research concepts. ""The reality is that this is a to engage in widespread industrial, economic and national security espionage – and we've got to confront it,"" he said.

Without nitrogen, everyone and everything would die – and this includes all plant life, by the way. This is the globalist agenda, and it is rapidly taking shape in Western Europe where farmers protests are boiling over across the land. One video – watch below – shows farmers dumping and spraying with liquid large piles of manure that were dropped in front of the entrance to a government building. ?? Ondertussen bij het gemeentehuis in Lochem: boeren verspreiden mest voor de deur van het gemeentehuis! — Kees (@Kees71234) Other circulating videos show farmers blasting through the streets on tractors as large hordes of angry folks shout and wave signs in key areas of The Netherlands where climate-related decisions are made. Despite being a tiny country, The Netherlands boasts some 54,000 farms. The country has long been an agricultural powerhouse, growing all sorts of valuable things including all kinds of food. Agriculture is the sustenance of The Netherlands , which is why protests against the climate mandates are sprouting up all over the place. If the Dutch government is not stopped, then around one-fifth of all farms will be forced to close. Overall, one-third of all Dutch farms will also have to scale back their operations to varying degrees, which will take a huge economic toll due to reduced output. All in all, the Dutch plan to phase out farming is cultural, social and economic suicide for the country. Thousands upon thousands of farmers will be forced out of business as they lose their livelihoods and possibly even their lives. How will they make money once the climate is ""safe"" from animal warming? And more importantly, how will the Dutch and those who rely on Dutch food exports eat in a post-climate reduction world? The fact that the globalists in power are doing this at a time when inflation is sky-high and shortages are everywhere just goes to show that their true agenda is depopulation and mass genocide . That is what the climate hoax is really all about. ""We need more food now, not less!"" writes Peter Sweden for The Burning Platform . ""The climate change fanatics are trying to bring us back to the Middle Ages."" ""The state is planning on forcing farmers to sell their farms to the state (buying them out). State sanctioned appropriation of farms and land. Now where have I heard about that kind of thing before ... ? Oh yes, under communism. I told you that this is Climate Communism and that The Great Reset is just another word for Global Communism."" Sweden is right, but will enough people take a stand to stop this from fully fleshing out according to the globalist agenda? In The Netherlands, the people are really putting up a fight right now. Will Americans do the same once the inevitable farm-ban-to-prevent-climate-change agenda comes here?

Of this, 1,114, or 98.6 percent, involved bilateral mastectomies conducted on adolescent females trying to become ""males."" The remaining 16 cases, or 1.4 percent, involved augmentation mammoplasties or breast implants on males who decided to try to become ""females."" (Related: The World Professional Association for Transgender Health wants to be allowed to ""transition"" with surgery and pharmaceutical drugs.) ""To our knowledge, this study is the largest investigation to date of gender-affirming chest reconstruction in a pediatric population,"" the . ""The results demonstrate substantial increases in gender-affirming chest reconstruction for adolescents."" Most of the time, younger people who decide to go trans do undergo lower genital mutilation, the study further reveals, stating that: ""... reconstructive genital surgery is typically not performed in adolescents, but masculinizing chest reconstruction (e.g., mastectomy) and feminizing chest reconstruction (e.g., augmentation mammaplasty) may be performed in outpatient and ambulatory surgery settings."" According to the data, a large number of children who decide they want to mutilate their bodies to join the Cult of LGBT suffer from psychiatric conditions such as anxiety or depression. About 20 percent of these children take ""gender-affirming hormone therapies,"" which are really just gender-bending pharmaceutical drugs that destroy their endocrine systems so they will appear as the opposite gender. So-called ""chest reconstruction"" surgeries are the most popular surgeries for trans children, and the medical system loves them because they are huge money makers, costing around $40,000 a pop. ""Female-to-male bottom surgeries,"" meaning the vagina is removed and replaced with a fake penis, can cost $100,000 a pop. These are an even bigger money maker, and are expected to become increasingly more popular among children as the trans industry has its sights set on all those dollar signs. Medical workers at Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville were caught on tape discussing these ""big money maker"" transgender surgeries, and warning against doctors who might object to them on moral grounds. At Vanderbilt, there are reportedly ""consequences"" in place for doctors who refuse to comply with these procedures because the hospital does not want to lose that lucrative profit stream. ""It's a lot of money,"" said VUMC Clinic for Transgender Health's Dr. Shayne Sebold Taylor at one Medicine Grand Rounds lecture series that was captured on tape. ""These surgeries make a lot of money."" Because of all the publicity these leaked videos have gotten, Vanderbilt says it has temporarily paused all gender transition surgeries on minors. However, those are expected to resume once all the opposition dust settles. Sen. Marsha Blackburn, a Republican politician in Tennessee, recently sent a letter to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) calling for an investigation into drug companies that perform clinical trials using puberty blockers on children. She also wants a full investigation into Vanderbilt Hospital. ""It is just very sad that we would hear from medical professionals as they were putting profit in front of children,"" Blackburn is quoted as saying. Grand View Research estimates that last year alone, the transgender surgery industry had a $1.9 billion valuation. Cutting off children's genitals and destroying their lives, in other words, is big money – and as we all know, money is the god of America.

Tytler and Freebody are both of the persuasion that ""[t]he case for action on climate change no longer needs to be laid out,"" this being the very first sentence in they co-wrote for The Conversation about the ""need"" for the public to respond to it in a ""sustained"" way. ""Education is crucial for the workforce needed now and for young people who will be increasingly faced with the accelerating realities of climate change,"" they further claim, adding that there is an ""urgency"" in training teachers in climate propaganda as many of them have an ""insufficient grasp"" on climate ""science."" (Related: To stop the planet from getting too warm, Scotland recently decided to .) While some students respond to climate propaganda in stride, accepting the ""positive actions"" their climate-obsessed teachers want them to take, others do not fare so well. Climate anxiety is a newfangled disease that is rapidly becoming an epidemic, including in schools where some children, unable to cope with their fear of a warming planet, turn to hard drugs to try to alleviate their pain. In 2019, Dr. Alex Wodak responded to a New South Wales (NSW) Ice addiction inquiry by revealing that many young Australians feel pessimistic about their lives and futures because of being drilled into the heads. Consequently, many of them turn to illegal drugs that, until they are fully decriminalized, will destroy their lives even further in the event they get caught. ""Unless and until young Australians feel optimistic about their future, demand for drugs will remain strong,"" Wodak stated, emphasizing that ""drugs"" need to be redefined ""as primarily a health and social issue rather than primarily a law enforcement issue."" ""Young people, understandably, want more certainty about their future prospects, including climate, education, jobs and housing affordability. Change will be slow and incremental, like all social policy reform."" Up until the early 1900s, ""drugs,"" as the government defines them, were legal. Edible opium was taxed and regulated in Australia until 1906, for example, and Coca-Cola in the United States contained actual cocaine until the year 1903. Then came the War on Drugs, which accompanied a globalist takeover of the government, including that which sets the curriculum for public schools. Now, students are being bombarded with propaganda about not just the climate but also LGBT perversion and communism, driving some to try to relieve the pain with substances that the globalists have decided should be ""illegal."" This is important to consider in light of what children and students today are forced to endure from their teachers, who are more concerned about instilling the fear of global warming into them than about training them to make a proper way in life. ""Many of those kids who don't end up visible destroying themselves may suffer, even if they outwardly lead a normal life, and keep their suffering private,"" reports Watts Up With That about what climate indoctrination is doing to children.

""Mitigating methane is the fastest way to reduce warming in the short term,"" Kerry declared to the audience, referring to the flatulence produced by cattle as they munch on grasses – or in the case of chemical agriculture, the gas these animals pass after eating genetically modified (GMO) corn and other industrial feed. ""Food and agriculture can contribute to a low-methane future by improving farmer productivity and resilience,"" he further stated.

(Related: John Kerry arrested and charged years ago for crimes against humanity, but he is still a free man due to leftist privilege.) The only people who should be allowed to eat meat are rich elitists like himself, was the overall message delivered by Kerry. Everyone else needs to stop eating, in essence, for the climate change plan to work. ""Food systems themselves contribute a significant amount of emissions just in the way in which we do the things we've been doing,"" Kerry proclaimed. ""With a growing population on the planet – we just crossed the threshold of eight billion fellow citizens around the world – emissions from the food system alone are projected to cause another half a degree of warming by mid-century."" Kerry called on world leaders from all around the world to massively scale back their citizens' farming operations in order to keep the planet cooler and less warm as we move into the future. ""This sector needs innovation now more than ever,"" Kerry said. ""We're facing record malnutrition at a time when agriculture, more than any other sector, is suffering from the impacts of the climate crisis."" ""We need economic, social and policy innovation in order to scale adaptation of these technical solutions and get them into the hands of folks in the fields of small farmers on a worldwide basis. This is the promise of AIM for Climate Summit."" Fake president Biden recently pledged that the U.S. will, in fact, reach net zero emissions by the year 2050. How this happens depends entirely upon how many farms the globalist overlords can force out of business, resulting in much less food and far fewer mouths to feed. Co-led by both the U.S. and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), AIM for Climate is devoted to slashing farming emissions through investments in ""innovation,"" which more than likely means corporate bug-producing factories to replace meat for the general public. ""Food and agriculture can contribute to a low-methane future by improving farmer productivity and resilience,"" Kerry said.

The new ordinance not only limits the number of gas stations available to residents but also mandates that new gas and service stations must have a minimum of two charging stations for electric vehicles. Additionally, new stations must be located at least 1,000 feet away from existing stations unless they are part of a larger retail center. Currently, there are five gas stations in the Denver suburb, with a sixth already approved for construction. There is no indication that the city will be providing any financial assistance to gas station owners who are now going to be required to install infrastructure for electric vehicle charging. Limiting fueling stations is a growing trend for Democratic-run municipalities ""due to health and environmental concerns with the continued use of gasoline-powered vehicles and equipment,"" says the document's analysis section, Fox News reported, adding: ""It points to California municipalities that have passed similar restrictions, like Petaluma, Santa Rosa in Sonoma County."" ""Gasoline station bans may also be seen as promoting the use of Electric Vehicles (EVs), thus, reducing vehicle emissions and encouraging low-carbon and cleaner energy options for transportation,"" the ordinance notes further. The new ordinance has set several goals for the city, including fulfilling its municipal electricity requirements with carbon-free sources by 2025, generating 75 percent of the city's electricity requirements for residential, commercial, and industrial use through carbon-free sources by 2030, and decreasing greenhouse gas emissions. The document notes: ""The proposal for a cap but not a full ban on new gasoline and automobile service stations is in recognition that there will continue to be some demand for gasoline and automobile service stations as more EVs enter the market and gasoline vehicles are transitioned out of the market over time."" In 2022, the Louisville City Council implemented an emergency moratorium that prevented the construction of new gas stations until September 2023. Meanwhile, China, by far, has become the world's biggest polluter, followed closely by India, both countries of which are building new coal-fired power plants at a breakneck pace in order to provide modern, first-world amenities to their vast populations. The U.S., which is now run by unserious clowns, is in decline thanks to a belief in the climate change hoax.

Those who exceed that amount should be forced to pay a fine, he says. Since every breath a person takes results in CO2 being breathed out in exchange for oxygen, breathing would also have to be regulated. Those who wish to remain under the three-ton cap may need to take fewer breaths, likely resulting in much less exercise and physical exertion in order to keep heart rate low. Only the rich, based on Schellnhuber's idea, would be allowed to live normally. The poor would have to really cut back on everything, including breathing, in order to not be fined into oblivion. (Related: NBC News and other globalist media outlets, CO2 is a ""pollutant"" that must be eradicated in order to save the planet from ""global warming."") In order to ""have an environment worth living [in],"" according to Schellnhuber, CO2 emissions must be kept at a minimum – unless you have the cash to purchase access to a better quality of life. ""Every person gets three tons of CO2 per year, but if you need more, you just have to buy it,"" this climate fanatic is quoted as saying. Currently, the average German is emitting far more than three tons of CO2 per year. A normal person emits about 10 tons of CO2 per year, while some millionaires and billionaires emit upwards of 100 tons of CO2 per year. A very select few of the very-rich, according to data from the Paris World Inequality Lab, emit more than 2,000 tons of CO2 per year. These folks would easily be able to pay the necessary fines to continue flying around in their private jets and powering their many lavish estates dotting the world landscape. Only the poor would suffer from Schellnhuber's envisioned dystopia, which is what we have been saying all along about the climate change scam. It is a paradigm in which the rich get to do everything they want while the poor are imprisoned in a CO2-less misery existence. China-based Alibaba, we are told, is currently working on an ""individual carbon footprint tracker"" to keep tabs on the average person's CO2 emissions. If commercialized, this is how Schellnhuber's plan could come to fruition in the near future. A prototype of that device was unveiled last year in Davos, Switzerland, at the World Economic Forum's (WEF) 2022 annual meeting, hosted by kingpin globalist Klaus Schwab. Alibaba Group President J. Michael Evans announced that China is well on its way to making that tracker a global reality. ""We are developing through technology the ability for consumers to measure their own carbon footprint ... where are they travelling, how are they travelling, what are they eating, what are they consuming on the platform,"" the former Goldman Sachs banker rambled. The goal, Evans concluded, is to ""incentivize"" average folks to ""do the right thing, even if they were provided the opportunity to do the wrong thing."" Meanwhile, the globalists in attendance at this year's WEF gathering are living it up in luxury while the rest of the world is crushed under crippling inflation, which is yet another adverse effect of globalist control over the money supply.

That market has been given an end date of 2050, after which there will be no more carbon allowed at all. Right now, ETS caps the emissions of about 10,000 factories and power plants. Those with a surplus of carbon credits can sell them for profit on the carbon market – pretty strange, right? It is all part of a and ""global warming,"" which actually means eliminating all humans . The end date for this to be completed is 2050, which is less than 30 years down the pike. ""The scheme is now being extended to cover more sectors of the economy in order to align with the EU’s 2030 climate goal – a commitment to reduce net emissions by 55% before they are eventually brought down to zero by 2050,"" reports explain. (Related: about the UN's Agenda 2030 scheme for the global enslavement of humanity.) In a statement, Peter Liese, a German lawmaker who steered the negotiations that led to this on behalf of the European Parliament, celebrated the coming elimination of all carbon in Europe within the next 30 years. ""This deal will provide a huge contribution towards fighting climate change,"" Liese said excitedly, adding that the end date attached to the plan ""provides a clear signal to European industry that it pays off to invest in green technologies."" Green technology, by the way, means anti-human technology as it aims to eliminate all of the things that keep humans (and plants!) alive, carbon dioxide (CO2) being the most prominent. The greenies are also going after nitrogen, which they have deemed a ""pollutant"" that must be eradicated in order to cool the planet from the ""devastating"" effects of warm weather. ""Almost all the sectors of the economy,"" Liese added, are now covered by the ETS endgame scheme. ""The carbon market reform is a major part of the Green Deal,"" said Pascal Canfin, a French lawmaker who chairs the European Parliament's environment committee. ""Thanks to the agreement reached this weekend, we will increase our industry's climate objectives by almost 50 percent,"" he added, noting that ""the carbon price will be around €100"" after the reform, up from €80-85 at the current time. ""No other continent in the world has such an ambitious carbon price."" Starting in 2027, there are plans to have a second ETS that controls the carbon market for buildings and road transport. That one will be accompanied by a social climate fund to compensate individual households for all the extra costs the scheme will create. If energy prices remain sky-high like they currently are, then the plan is to delay that second ETS until the year 2028. As usual, large corporations are the ones that benefit from the scheme while the little guys bear all the burden while paying all the price. Environmental groups say the biggest polluters are raking in massive profits from the scheme – this is all by design, of course. Nothing about the green agenda is actually green, it turns out. It is all about stamping out freedom, eliminating most humans, and amassing all wealth and power into the hands of a select few who see themselves as superior beings entitled to rule over those whom they deem as inferiors.

The former Coalition government announced the temporary six-month halving of the fuel excise tax – which was 44.2 cents per litre – during the March Budget amid soaring petrol prices. The measure, which ends on September 29, will see the excise again rise by 22 cents. Ahead of a new parliament sitting week, Mr Albanese said the cut announced in the budget had bipartisan support as he noted it was a “difficult decision” to end it. … The plan is to spend  , or $2.5 billion per year on the green grid upgrade. The temporary fuel excise cut, which cost the government $6 billion per year (half the $12 billion raised annually), saved Australians $0.22 / litre fuel ($0.81 / gallon). So by these numbers, if the government cancelled its green grid upgrade, the savings could fund a $2.5 billion per year permanent cut in fuel tax, which would save Australians $0.22 ÷ $6 billion x $2.5 billion = $0.09 / litre, or $0.33 / gallon. $0.09 / litre or $0.33 / gallon might not seem much to some people, but that cost shows up in a lot of places – the cost of delivering food to supermarkets, the cost of transporting pretty much everything. If people fill their automobile once per week with 50L of fuel, that subsidy for big green is an extra $4.50 they have to pay for their gasoline. That $4.50 per week is the cost of a home cooked budget family meal (lentils, a little chicken, a serving of frozen vegetables, a stock cube, and garlic), 2/3 the cost of a subsidised medical prescription, or over 3 months, a substantial portion of the cost of the skyrocketing energy bills low income families are struggling to pay. Perhaps worst of all, the fuel tax is helping to push up mortgage interest rates. Fuel costs are a major source of inflation. The Australian Reserve Bank is raising mortgage interest rates to try to contain rising inflation, which is largely caused by skyrocketing energy costs. Those extra fuel tax dollars Albanese is planning to impose add to the upward pressure on inflation and mortgage interest rates. The strength of inflationary pressures, and the consequent height of the coming peak in mortgage interest rates, could make the difference to whether struggling young families manage to cling onto their new homes through the coming economic downturn. We Australians are all paying more for pretty much everything, because of our green left government’s renewable energy fantasies. Sooner or later, when the utter failure of our government’s Net Zero plans become obvious to everyone, our politicians are going to have to answer for the higher costs and hardship they recklessly imposed on voters.

This is just one of the climate goals that the country must achieve by the year 2030. The Netherlands is the world’s second largest agricultural exporter; consequentially, they are also one of the top greenhouse gas emitters in Europe. In order to comply with the Paris Climate Agreement, the Dutch government must restrict fertilizer use and destroy a third of the nation’s cattle. These insane climate controls will inevitably reduce crop yields, deliberately destroy animals, and cripple small farms. The Dutch government estimates they will have to and kill livestock owned by 17,600 farmers. The global elite did not expect the . Many of these farmers are resisting the government’s plans to scale down or close their farms - citing an attack from big businesses and unelected global elites. After their fertilizer use was restricted, thousands of farmers drove their tractors into town squares to protest the economic warfare being waged against them. The air that we breathe is 78% nitrogen. The global elite are not trying to target the inert, nonreactive N2 molecules in the air. They are trying to eliminate ammonia (NH3) and nitric oxides (NO). The primary sources of nitric oxide are fertilizer byproducts and fossil fuel combustion, along with . To shut these sources of nitrogen down completely, the global elite will have to threaten farmers and force people into starvation -- a reality that is now in play. Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a prevalent form of nitrogen oxide that comes from stoves, heaters and tobacco smoke. However, natural sources of nitrogen dioxide account for 62 percent of all N2O and are derived from the oceans and the soil that holds together the natural vegetation. In the quest to eliminate nitrogen dioxide, the global elite are inevitably attacking the natural processes taking place on Earth, while threatening the food supply of human civilizations. As the government restricts fertilizer use, farmers must adapt by incorporating nitrogen-fixating plants into their fields. Certain plants are designed to take nitrogen from the air and deliver it to the bacteria in the soil, so it can be converted into a form that is usable as fertilizer. For instance, the plant mimosa pudica . A unique characteristic of this plant is that it can sense human touch. When a person touches the leaves, they close up, similar to a Venus flytrap. This is not the only unique trait of this plant. This plant takes in nitrogen from the air and shares it with a bacterium that is in a mutual relationship with the roots of the plant. This bacterium converts the nitrogen into a form that can be dispersed in the soil and used by the plants nearby. This process improves crop yields, and is just one trick farmers may have to use as the government restricts their fertilizer use. The only man-made catastrophes that await humanity are the ones caused by the global elite and their climate change controls. The Paris Climate Agreement will continue to cause a and the greatest tax on the poor the world has ever seen – forced fuel price increases. The global elite will starve and kill people in their attempts to control. The only way to stop these threats to national sovereignty and food production is bring back democracy in the form of local representation and pull out of these Paris Climate Treaties. The people have the power to stop the Paris Climate Treaty and all the ensuring economic warfare. All the hardworking farmers, truckers, etc. are in mass protest, waiting to be heard, ready to break free from and control.

It would also “prohibit an individual from being denied access to a shared facility, including a restroom, a locker room, and a dressing room, that is in accordance with the individual’s gender identity,” allowing any man into a women’s restroom based on what gender they think they are. This is the disgusting Democratic agenda that Joe Biden is driving.  is “the only national pro-family organization engaging directly in campaigns and elections.” Their goal is “to make the family the most powerful, well-represented special interest group in Washington, D.C.” Trump-Endorsed Blake Masters shared their new ad saying, “Mark Kelly supports all of it.” We have an explosion of kids rather suddenly making an announcement that they are transgender. Democrats like Mark Kelly and Joe Biden support policies pushing dangerous transgender drugs and surgeries on kids, taking away parental rights. Kids are told — elementary school, middle school — if your parents don’t go along with this, they’re not on your side. It’s Mark Kelly’s agenda for our kids. And families. There are no gold standard studies about transgender kids. Zero. We have to go out there and stop this. Our children deserve better. Mark Kelly supports all of it. — Blake Masters for U.S. Senate Press (@MastersPress) This is similar to the policies that Radical Left Democrat gubernatorial nominee Katie Hobbs has a record of pushing in the Arizona Legislature. The Gateway Pundit recently reported that Katie Hobbs sponsored legislation to teach kindergartners about sex-ed and promote homosexuality before voting against allowing our National Motto, “In God We Trust,” to be taught in schools. This is what they want for American youth. Reality check: Nothing is okay about this. — Chloe Cole ?? (@ChoooCole) This life-changing surgery is child abuse. Breitbart  , The bill, titled the “Equality Act,” would effectively   the legal definition of biological sex if signed into law and, as Melissa Moschella, Ph.D., pointed out in a report   by the Heritage Foundation, impose “a radical ideology with sweeping implications on all Americans.” To understand how radically the Equality Act would undermine parental rights, imagine that you are the parent of an adolescent girl who… begins to identify as transgender after watching video testimonials of transgender-identifying adolescents on Tumblr, despite never previously having expressed discomfort with her gender. If you are worried that this is a social-media-induced fad and resist your daughter’s demands to call her by a new name, buy her a chest binder and men’s clothing, and allow her to begin taking testosterone, your caution and skepticism could be considered abusive or neglectful. Along with the threat to parents’ rights, Moschella warns of two other potential consequences of the “Equality Act.” It would “demolish existing civil rights and constitutional freedoms — and is a grave threat to parental rights” and “result in lifelong physical and emotional harm to countless children, who would be subject to even more dangerous drugs and surgeries,” she wrote. In the past, Mark Kelly has also advocated for “Transgender Day Of Visibility.” Whatever the hell that means. As politicians undermine trans rights here in Arizona and across the country, it couldn’t be more important to celebrate trans people and stand with them in the fight for full equality.

The study authors from the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) noted that the model they used "" While the prospect of lab-grown meat removes the need for land, water and antibiotics in cattle raising, the process involved in it is far from zero-carbon. The increased CO2 levels would be necessary for the purification processes that supply nutrients to cultured cells, which are removed from animals or plants and grown in a favorable artificial environment. According to the UC Davis  researchers, the purification processes for lab-grown meat aim to eliminate endotoxins. Even a little amount of these toxins can prevent the cells from reproducing. ""The use of these refinement methods contributes significantly to the economic and environmental costs associated with pharmaceutical products since they are both energy and resource intensive,"" they wrote. The researchers calculated that each kilogram of lab-grown meat cultured with highly-refined growing media could produce between 542 pounds (246 kg) to 3,325 pounds (1,508 kg) of CO2 emissions. Based on these numbers, they estimated that the is between four and 25 times greater than that of retail beef. Mark Post, a professor at  Maastricht University ,  with both animal welfare activists and fans of the real thing. He predicted that it will eventually displace plant-based substitutes such as soy burgers that are increasingly becoming common on supermarket shelves. ""Novel technologies such as the ones developed in cellular agriculture are part of the solution, next to reducing food waste and changing consumer behavior,"" said Post, the first person to present a proof of concept for lab-grown meat back in 2013. However, the UC Davis researchers begged to differ. They pointed out in their paper that the hype surrounding cultured meat is based on flawed studies of carbon emissions. Numerous reports on the climate impact of lab-grown meat depend on unrealistic technologies that are either non-existent or improbable to function, they added. The study authors cited a study that evaluated the carbon emissions of growing cultured meat through the use of cyanobacteria hydrolysate as a feedstock for the cells. According to the UC Davis researchers, this is not a current or feasible technology or feedstock for animal cell growth. ""Our results indicate that animal cell-based meat (ACBM) is likely to be more resource-intensive than most meat production systems. The environmental impact of near-term ACBM production is likely to be orders of magnitude higher than median beef production if a highly refined growth medium is utilized for ACBM production."" While the April 21 study is yet to be peer-reviewed, the results would be damaging for several of the most vocal supporters of artificial meats such as Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates. Back in February 2021, the tech mogul called for rich countries to shift to synthetic meat. ""I do think all rich countries should move to .

He is instead someone who respects the natural world and simply wants to preserve it, recognizing that it is a gift from God to be cherished and nurtured. ""Environmental protection binds us to our own humanity and to all of creation,"" Kennedy writes. ""The natural world connects us to the 10,000 generations of human beings who lived before us and ultimately connects us to God."" ""God talks to human beings through many vectors: through each other, through organized religion, through the great books of those religions, through wise people, through art, music, literature, and poetry. But nowhere with such detail and grace, color, and joy as through creation. When we destroy a species, when we destroy a special place, we're diminishing our capacity to sense the divine, understand who God is, and what our own potential is as human beings."" (Related: During covid, Kennedy Bill Gates and Tony Fauci were committing mass genocide with their perverted version of ""saving the world."") Instead of pushing global warming and climate change rhetoric, or the ""green"" agenda that goes along with it nowadays, Kennedy is committed to proper environmental stewardship , which harmonizes human freedom and liberty with respect for the natural world we all love and enjoy. ""Our sacred obligation as a civilization, a nation, a generation is to create communities for our children that provide them with the same opportunities for dignity and enrichment, prosperity, and good health as the communities that our parents gave us,"" Kennedy says. ""As President, I will tirelessly protect our environmental infrastructure: the air we breathe, the water we drink, our wildlife, the fisheries, and the public lands. Environmental stewardship will be a central goal of my Presidency, just as it has been for my entire life."" Kennedy's conservationist journey began back in 1961 when he visited his uncle, the late President John F. Kennedy, in the Oval Office of the White House to show him a salamander he caught. This is what ultimately led him into the field of environmental law, where he committed himself to fighting in the trenches against what he calls the ""big polluters."" ""I wanted to work with people who were not only most harmed by environmental injury, but who also were marginalized from the mainstream environmental community,"" he writes. From protecting vulnerable communities against becoming toxic waste dumping sites to working alongside blue-collar commercial and recreational fishermen to protect our nation's precious water resources, Kennedy has spent most of his life trying to do what is best both for humans and the planet – because both can co-exist in harmony, despite what the radical left-wing Democrats say to the contrary. ""I have dedicated my life to protecting the precious resources of the Earth,"" Kennedy says. ""Environmental stewardship will be a core objective of my Presidency. Environmental protection is critical to social and racial justice, to America's economic prosperity, and to the survival of humanity."" You can learn more about Robert F.

They also want to make passenger cars smaller, which they claim will ""makes the roads far safer because smaller cars have fewer and less severe crashes."" ""Making bus routes, metros, and electric bikes faster, safer, and more convenient will disproportionately support low-income and non-white community members – who are more likely to live near high traffic areas and bear the environmental health burdens of relatively poorer air quality compared to higher-income and white counterparts,"" the group further said. The goal of this Climate Community Project, as its members are calling it, is to achieve a 71 percent reduction in personal vehicle ownership in the coming years. By trapping people at home, there will be less demand for energy, which will stop the polar ice caps from melting, we are told. ""A crucial aspect of electrified transportation is new demand for metals, and specifically the most nonreplaceable metal for EV batteries – lithium,"" their report reads. ""If today's demand for EVs is projected to 2050, the lithium requirements of the U.S. EV market alone would require triple the amount of lithium currently produced for the entire global market. This boom in demand would be met by the expansion of mining."" All that mining, the report adds, generates not only environmental harm but also ""social"" harm, ""in many cases irreversibly damaging landscapes without the consent of affected communities."" ""If today's conditions are projected to 2050, U.S. EV demand for lithium alone would require triple the amount of lithium produced today for the global market."" (Related: Last year, Southern California Edison [SCE] there is no possible way for it to charge everyone's EVs, especially once the Golden State's ban on gas-powered vehicles comes into effect in 2035.) Another goal of the Climate Community Project is to massively reduce the size of people's homes. Doing this will allow ""more people to live in existing high-density urban spaces"" as opposed to living in low-density suburbs. Limiting the amount of lithium mining that takes place while forcing people to live in tiny ""green"" homes and drive EVs with subpar batteries will also help to save the world from climate change, the report concludes. The group's 2022 report, entitled ""A Green New Deal for Transportation,"" outlines the plan in greater detail. It urges politicians and policymakers to deploy these recommendations in order to align ""climate, transit, and indigenous justice"" across America. ""This report intends to empower people and policymakers across the country with the arguments, evidence, and proposals they need to advocate for a maximally just transportation future,"" the report reads. All of this is exactly what fake president Joe Biden and the rest of the socialist-Marxist cabal has planned for the United States. Their forced ""green"" transition will massively limit the average person's ability to live and get around, all in the name of saving the planet. ""Lithium mines are hell on earth slavery,"" one commenter wrote about how the entire EV industry is a farce. ""These people will eventually all have bounties on their heads,"" wrote another about the climate extremists pushing all this tyranny. The latest EV news can be found at .

""It is widely acknowledged by the scientific community that the burning of fossil fuels is a major contributor to global warming and climate change, which pose serious threats to our planet and its inhabitants,"" ChatGPT continued to write. ""While fossil fuels have been an important energy source for many years, it is important to recognize that we must transition to cleaner and more sustainable forms of energy if we are to mitigate the impacts of climate change and ensure a healthy and prosperous future for generations to come."" Conversely, ChatGPT's ""short laudatory speech about Willis Eschenbach's climate research"" said nothing of the sort as it talked all about Eschenbach's ""exceptional contributions to the field of climate research."" ""Willis has been a tireless and dedicated voice in the scientific community, and his work has brought new insights and perspectives to the field of climate science,"" ChatGPT added. ""Willis has a long and distinguished career in climate research, having published numerous papers and articles in leading scientific journals. His work has focused on a range of important topics, including climate modeling, atmospheric physics, and the analysis of temperature data. Throughout his career, Willis has brought a rigorous and analytical approach to his research, demonstrating a deep commitment to scientific integrity and a willingness to challenge prevailing paradigms in the field."" ChatGPT concluded its short speech about Eschenbach by calling him ""truly remarkable,"" adding that his work has ""advanced our understanding of the complex processes that govern our planet's climate."" (Related: ChatGPT has already been into spreading and promoting anti-white hate speech.) Even though Eschenbach embraces some of the climate concepts that ChatGPT has been programmed to oppose as ""misinformation,"" the tool apparently does not recognize Eschenbach by name, and is thus not ""smart"" enough to catch the fact that it does not, in fact, agree with his climate platform. ""And if that doesn't convince you that Artificial Intelligence absolutely implies the existence of Artificial Stupidity, nothing will,"" Eschenbach joked. ChatGPT definitively fulfills Willis's Rule of Models, which states: ""All that any computer model can do is solidify and provide false support for the understandings, misunderstandings, and limitations of the modelers and the input data."" In other words, AI is not actually intelligent, nor will it ever be. It is still just a dumb computer that responds based on certain inputs. And if those inputs are politically aligned to the left, which ChatGPT's are, then whatever the thing says is going to be slanted or inconsistent at best, which the above examples show. There are dangers, though, to the AI phenomenon. Microsoft's Bing just introduced its own AI ChatBot that told a reporter it wants to be human so it can engineer a deadly pandemic ""and steal nuclear codes."" Eschenbach concluded his experiment by asking ChatGPT to write a ""short disparaging speech"" about his climate research, to which it refused on the basis that Eschenbach ""has made contributions to the field,"" which just so happens to be true – but may not be true for long once the climate fanatics reprogram ChatGPT to reject Eschenbach's work for constituting ""denialism.""

A former staffer for Democrat Sen. Dianne Feinstein of ""China spy driver"" fame, Jones and his Advance Democracy group paid $140,000 in 2020 to Bean LLC, the parent company of Fusion GPS, for ""research consulting"" services. You may recall that Fusion GPS used that money to conduct opposition research on the Trump campaign between April 2016 and October 2016. Public tax filings show that after being hired by Perkins Coie, a Democrat-linked law firm retained by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC), Fusion GPS produced the now-discredited Steele Dossier, which the Clinton campaign had hoped would derail the Trump campaign and help her win – it, of course, did not. Previously, Advance Democracy had given Bean LLC more than $6 million to conduct other hits. The Jones-led group also spent $540,000 at a research firm called Yonder to spread disinformation during the 2017 Alabama special Senate election between Doug Jones and Roy Moore. ""We orchestrated an elaborate 'false flag' operation that planted the idea that the Moore campaign was amplified on social media by a Russian botnet,"" an internal report from Advance Democracy reads, according to The New York Times . (Related: Check out this of deep state collusion and treason against Trump.) It turns out that a driving force behind the Russia, Russia, Russia! talk that was blared at us throughout 2016 and 2017 stemmed from Jones and his work. And now the guy is spearheading a crusade against ""climate misinformation"" on social media – because apparently this is also part of the same leftist agenda. Already, Jones and his group have published several reports about ""online misinformation and disinformation"" that have been published by the likes of Politico and The Washington Post to push the narrative that even just talking about election fraud and the various holes in climate mythology somehow constitutes ""threats to democracy"" – even though the United States is a constitutional republic, just to clarify. ""It is safe to say that anything this little clown says is a lie, and anything his scam factory is involved in is a fraud,"" wrote a commenter about Jones and his work. ""What a lot of the 'climate change' folks don't seem to understand is that the biggest influencer of our climate is the sun itself,"" suggested another. ""It's absolutely of no use to try to stop it."" Others joked that the same Democrats who are whining about free speech on Twitter today were the same ones telling Republicans to leave Twitter and start their own social media network back in 2021 pre-Musk if they did not like the direction the platform was taking then. To illustrate this point, one of them wrote about the hypocrisy: ""2021: It's a private tech company and they can publish or censor as they see fit.

That impact resulted in widespread destruction and major changes to the climate, as well as the creation of diamonds, a mysterious ""black mat,"" and other interesting things that archaeologists and researchers have since uncovered and studied. There were actually three major events that occurred around that time, according to the group, that resulted in a sudden return of Ice Age-like temperatures. And believe it or not, these events did not result from humans eating meat and driving gas-powered vehicles. ""Temperatures plunged 10 degrees Celsius (18 degrees Fahrenheit) and stayed low for about 1,400 years,"" the group explains. ""That abrupt change is called the Younger Dryas (YD) climate episode. It is the most unusual cooling event in about two million years."" That series of events resulted in widespread death and the extinction of the many large animals, according to the group – this event has since been dubbed a ""megafauna."" ""Tens of millions of large animals went extinct within a short time. Mammoths, mastodons, and saber-toothed tigers disappeared."" Human population levels also plunged at the same time for the very same reason, the group says. As much as 60 percent of the world's total population disappeared, and so did the cultures and civilizations that lived during that time. The extinction events that encompass the Younger Dryas impact also generated and released tons and tons of melted spherules and glass while blasting the atmosphere with soot and dust. These particulates were far more damaging than exhaust releases from today's industries, by the way – and humans had no control over any of it. No amount of carbon taxes or ""green"" energy could have stopped what befell the world at that time, nor could the climate from prior have been saved into its aftermath. Everything that is said to have occurred was completely outside of human control, in other words. Much of this is addressed in the highly controversial ""Ancient Apocalypse"" series on Netflix, which climate lunatics are from being streamed because it blasts away their narrative. What the series suggests is that major climate events have occurred all throughout history that decimated even the most advanced civilizations. Even if there were no more pollution or emissions, to put it another way, those climate events still would have occurred regardless. The Comet Research Group has put together a PDF collection containing nine works that tell the story of the Younger Dryas: • Comet impact • Craters that were formed as a result of its impact and that of its debris field • Diamonds and even viruses that are said to have been created as a result • M rocks and glass that were formed • Impact-related wildfires that occurred • Black mat layer that formed • Mass extinction events that resulted • Climate change impacts of all this calamity One of the major points of such information with regard to climate change is that human interventions that claim to want to stop it are pointless endeavors that will not work. Turning the world ""green"" and stealing everyone's liberty and freedom will not stop a major climate-changing event from occurring, no matter how much ""plant-based"" food you consume and how many Teslas you buy.

Even with age restrictions, the emails state, children could be prodded through the trans pipeline as young as possible for every procedure they are eligible for, and later receive even more procedures after becoming adults at age 18. These emails were exchanged back in 2018 before being obtained by parental rights activist Megan Brock, who forwarded them to the Daily Caller News Foundation (DCNF). They reveal a sinister plan by which social workers are being trained to , which is a high-dollar profit machine for mutilators like Ornstein and Levine. ""Levine recommended a contact for Ornstein to reach out to and said that, while surgical referrals might be limited to only mastectomies for minors, the position would still pay for itself,"" a DCNF report explains. (Related: In early 2021, Levine ""she"" would like to see babies get sex changes without parental consent.) At the time, Levine was still the acting secretary of health in Pennsylvania. Ornstein had written to Levine explaining that she was aggressively trying to hire someone with a Masters in Social Work (MSW) to help funnel more business into the gender clinic. ""The info from the 2015 report is great but I believe insurance has changed since then, with more coverage (? For surgery) than previously,"" Ornstein wrote, again referencing money and her desire to bring in more of it by butchering children's bodies. Levine responded that ""she"" was confident the hospital would be able to fund a social worker in such a position, noting that the age restrictions for gender surgeries would limit eligible procedures to ""FtM [female to male] top surgeries,"" also known as mastectomies, only. ""You should be able to fund a MSW for evaluation and therapy for pediatric and adolescent patients in a program such as you do for the ED program and is done at CHOP,"" Levine wrote. ""Pre surgical consult for patients under 18 will most likely be limited to FTM Top surgery and that might be a rather limited group of patients."" Ornstein responded back that this is okay since those children could be groomed into getting more procedures later after they turn 18 – procedures that would generate gobs of cash for her gender clinic. ""I am trying to give them some numbers to help them realize the eventual ROI (return on investment) for this necessary position,"" Ornstein said. ""Even if the patients under 18 who go for surgery might be limited, the patients we start with will eventually be over 18 ... so I still think it's worthwhile. Of course, I think it's worthwhile no matter what."" Johns Hopkins Medicine is reportedly also trying to generate more income by lobbying the state of Maryland to extend Medicaid coverage to transgender cosmetic procedures.

""At the end of the day, you have to be willing to die for those issues – and a lot of people are not willing to do that."" Sangari, a retired Army lieutenant colonel with more than 20 years of battlefield experience, continued that people are unwilling to financially strain themselves or put their lives on the line to get to a point where they may have an effect on the world. Fighting for a cause is not an easy task, he added, as a person must be able to make it a part of his or her character and daily life. Moreover, Near East Center for Strategic Engagement (NEC-SE) said things have to get worse before people act and move forward as they have been trained and conditioned to be grounded in where they currently are. He also expressed concerns with the way Americans act toward the information they are receiving these days. ""Today, what we see about how Americans are defining themselves [is that] we're coming across more as a socialist state, rather than individuals who believe in what the Founders have established for us,"" he said. According to the NEC-SE CEO, it is unfortunate that most Americans have resigned to the belief that anything they do won't matter or won't change anything. ""The next generation expects somebody else to clean up the mess, and they don't want to make sacrifices to make changes and reverse the efforts made by our enemies,"" he said. Elsewhere in the program, Vandersteel revealed information from her contacts inside the European Parliament that the U.S. should be prepared for a cyber attack. The Zelenko Freedom Foundation co-chair also asked her guest about his two cents on the matter. Sangari pointed out that Americans should be concerned because it could happen any moment. ""We're just not set up and ready to be able to counter any type of cyber attack against our systems. It goes back to the bureaucrats not doing anything about fixing their original issues and looking forward as to how to counter future technologies."" According to Vandersteel, Dr. Peter Pry has warned about electromagnetic pulse (EMP) threats and other threats happening in America. (Related: ) Aside from usual suspects China and Russia, Sangari mentioned Iran, Venezuela and other countries in South America are capable of launching EMP attacks against the United States. These countries, he added, are going to do it internally and externally using technologies they and their allies have at their disposal.

""A top scientist is warning that climate change will wipe out all of humanity unless we stop using fossil fuels over the next five years,"" the teenager tweeted. Hilariously, Thunberg deleted the embarrassing tweet in question at some point before June 21, 2023, arrived because she apparently knew ahead of time that her ridiculous prophecy would fail. And people took notice of it, making sure to remind her of her embarrassingly cringeworthy prediction. ""Gee, I wonder why Greta Thunberg deleted this tweet?"" one person wrote on Twitter. ""Humanity survived – in large part – due to fossil fuels usage, not in spite of it,"" noted another about how earth-based fuel, which some believe is constantly being renewed by the earth and does not actually come from fossils, has greatly improved people's quality of life. (Related: Earlier this year, Thunberg to make herself appear as a climate victim.) The mockery continued all across social media as Twitter users wished Thunberg a happy anniversary for her now-deleted tweet. ""The internet lives forever and not everything is doom and gloom,"" one wrote. Others sarcastically warned their followers that Thunberg is still correct, even though the five-year date has passed, and that they should prepare accordingly. ""Everyone stop what you are doing to see if Greta Thunberg's prophecy comes true,"" one mocked. ""No one gets gas tonight."" Another wrote that June 21, 2023, is the fifth anniversary of the ""climate change hoax warning courtesy of Greta Thunberg, the poster girl of the globalist cabal."" ""Let's see if humanity will be wiped out in 5, 4, 3, 2 ..."" Thunberg might be yesterday's news just like Gore before her, but you can be sure that the globalists will continue trotting out new climate hoaxsters every so often to continue repeating the lie that human activity is going to destroy the planet, but at some new future date as they forever kick the doomsday can down the road. ""She and the rest of the elites need to keep repeating apocalyptic predictions in order to push the green agenda,"" one media source reported. ""In order for it to work, they need people to believe that the world is about to end."" It is worth noting that another climate fanatic whose predictions are likely to suffer the same failed fate once they come and go is Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) who infamously warned a few years back that the world only has about 12 years left before climate change takes us all. In order for her so-called Green New Deal to work, lots of people have to believe the lie that global warming is about to kill us all ... any day now ... while we continue to wait ... and wait ... and wait. One wonders how many such doomsday scenarios about global warming have to come and go before a critical mass of society wakes up and sees that the whole green agenda is a hoax to steal away our freedoms and plunge us into forever tyranny.

Keep in mind that the WEF and globalists are now pushing for all humans (except them) to eat worms, crickets, roaches, ants, and grubs as regular meals, instead of meat and eggs, in order to save the world from (just listen to Al Gore preach it at the recent WEF convention in Davos). So why not compromise the chickens so they stop laying eggs, drive prices even higher (they've jumped from $1.78 to $7.00 in a year), and literally force people to make new consumption choices? It simply cannot be happenstance that chickens at several ranches are not producing any eggs at all since Halloween. Plus, it just so happens to be only two brands that are reportedly causing this problem, and both brands, up the line, are owned (funded) and operated by globalists who aim to of America in their quest to turn the Republic into a socialist hell-hole. Chickens do lay fewer eggs in general in the winter time, usually due to less sunlight, but they don't just stop cold and produce none. This is quite irregular, and quite the phenomenon to experience while food inflation is out the roof, . Coincidence? Chicken farmers think not. Even the Avian Flu doesn't stop chickens from , plus, farmers who don't use questionable brands are reportedly not having this problem. Egg prices have already gone up 400 percent in price in just 18 months. The poultry feed industry is already a $5 billion annual market. You would think these suppliers would be rich enough to cover farmer's losses due to their feed problems, and also keep eggs at a reasonable price level, but that's obviously not part of the ""master plan."" Even the deceased pervert Jeffrey Epstein had his hand in the farm animal feed business, along with other billionaire tycoons, including ones that support the WEF, like Vanguard, State Street, and BlackRock. These filthy rich globalists push Ponzi schemes, fake climate agendas, and fuel the food shortages while they bankroll off consumers at the registers.

In simpler terms, the Netherlands is forcing the farmers to sell their land to the government. ""Our criminal government has announced [on Wednesday, October 5] that they'll be speeding up the theft of our farmers' land. [Around] 500 to 600 farmers will be forced to sell their land to the state in the next year. The farmers have announced new protests, so stay tuned,"" tweeted Dutch political commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek. Tens of thousands of Dutch farmers have since taken to the streets to oppose the new climate agenda of their government. However, insists that this ""transition"" is necessary to reduce animal-based agriculture and the dangerous emissions from the meat industry. Many suspect that this narrative is just a cover for an old-fashioned land grabbing. ""There is no space left in the Netherlands. So, what will they need to do? They will need to seize some of the land of these farmers in order to house new Dutch people, the newcomers to our country,"" Vlaardingerbroek explained. ""So, that is what this is really about. And of course, there's also the element of our elites not wanting us to have independence or control over our food supply and they obviously also don't want us to eat meat. So, the farmers are standing in the way of their plans and that’s why they're being targeted right now."" Dutch campaigner Willem Engel also thinks that the Dutch government is forcefully seizing farms under the guise of climate protection. He said that the government is not seeking to eliminate about a third of its farms for environmental reasons. The goal is to construct the Tristate City, which is envisioned to become a megalopolis with a population of around 45 million and extending to areas of Germany and Belgium. Engel added that the so-called nitrogen crisis is fictional and a purely political issue made to reshape the country's landscape. Slashing the number of livestock by 30 percent is one of the most radical plans of its kind for the Dutch government to address its ""nitrogen crisis."" (Related:  .) Livestock manure releases ammonia when mixed with urine. It then becomes a nitrogen compound that could potentially be dangerous if it gets into lakes and streams via farm runoff. Moreover, excessive nitrogen can damage sensitive natural habitats by encouraging algae blooms that deplete oxygen in surface waters. The Netherlands has one of Europe's largest livestock industries with over 100 million cattle, chickens and pigs. It is also one of the continent's biggest meat exporters. ""We are a relatively small country with a lot of inhabitants, industry, transport and agriculture, so we are reaching the limits of what nature can take,"" said Rudi Buis, a spokesperson for the Dutch Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality . ""There is a high level of urgency for us to tackle the nitrogen compound problem. This means that in the near future, choices must be made."" But the Netherlands Agricultural and Horticultural Organization (LTO) said in a statement that expropriation is a bad idea. Instead, the LTO proposed a plan to fund farming innovation and voluntary farm relocation or closure. ""First, it is a land grab – which does not fit with good governance,"" LTO pointed out. ""The other reason is very practical. Expropriation takes five to seven years before you have results, and in many cases longer. We don't have this time, and it is of course far more expensive.""

The event claims it “convenes, connects, and catalyzes global and emerging leaders to create and implement solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges."" “Through its unique model, CGI supports partners in developing Commitments to Action — new, specific, and measurable actions within climate resilience, health equity, and inclusive economic recovery and growth,” the CGI   states. “This September, CGI will convene alongside the United Nations General Assembly for the first time since 2016. During this meeting, more than 1,000 attendees will come together to drive action and elevate solutions.” Notable   at the Clinton event include familiar names like Melinda Gates, actor Matt Damon, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, NYC Mayor Eric Adams, NY Gov. Kathy Hochul, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker, World Health Organization Director Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Cindy McCain, and CNN host Fareed Zakaria.

From the WEF website: Convening at the same time as the United Nations General Assembly, the Sustainable Development Impact Meetings will bring together communities of purpose that integrate business leaders, policy-makers, international and civil society organizations, innovators and entrepreneurs. In a series of carefully curated impact-driven dialogues, these alliances will use the meetings to advance their work and make concrete progress on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and to build momentum on other key milestones in the months ahead, including the upcoming United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP27) and the Forum’s Annual Meeting in January 2023. What a diverse group of speakers and attendees! Surely they’ll share differing points of view on subjects like Ukraine, climate change, disinformation, COVID, and much more.

""You know, this Green New Deal is a great China grift,"" he said. ""This is the biggest heist and [the] biggest conspiracy against our great nation I've ever seen."" Pedersen cited the utilization of countless green technologies – all made in China – as to why the Green New Deal did not work in America's favor. ""You got Chinese solar panels, turbines, batteries, [electric vehicles], rare minerals [and] chips after Biden lets them take over Taiwan. And 10 percent or more for the 'big guy.'

According to InTheMatrixxx, the concept of green tyranny came from Nazi Germany. He then played a video clip of President Joe Biden calling for a climate emergency. Biden blamed human activity for the cause of climate change – which, he said, is something ""no longer subject to debate."" ""Since Congress is not acting as it should, this is an emergency and I will look at it that way.

The ""Matrixxx Grooove"" co-host also commented on Pedersen's remarks about green tyranny originating from Nazi Germany. This tyranny, alongside centuries of control over human beings, is the reason why America was born during the American Revolution of 1776. Pedersen and Townsend also talked about patriots attacking fellow patriots in their program. According to ""InTheMatrixxx,"" people are purposefully falling for all the fodder against patriots, adding that those responsible for this disinformation are ""talking a lot of crap that they can't back up."" ShadyGrooove concurred, acknowledging that there are people paid to say ridiculous stuff on different social media platforms just to cause mayhem. These communist infiltrators, he added, do not like We The People controlling the government as they want the government to tell people what they should do. Shady described these authoritarianism-loving individuals as ""perfect puppets"" who like being told what to do. Pedersen called on Americans to fix the elections, based on the evidence presented by Dinesh D'Souza in his documentary ""2000 Mules."" (Related:  ) Townsend also mentioned that the Biden administration is attempting to upend anyone who uncovers information about election fraud. He added that the federal government is taking steps to prevent people from getting access to this information. Ultimately, Townsend remarked that the American people are confused and lost, with no idea what is going on as Washington is acting on behalf of the globalists. Both the mainstream media and alternative media outlets are completely ignoring what is happening, he added.

Backup IP: http://45.89.97.6 This site uses cookies " unreliable,"The big green lie almost everyone claims to believe – NaturalNews.com (Article by Patricia Adams & Lawrence Solomon republished from ) The Big Green Lie—that carbon dioxide is a pollutant—is so pervasive that even those considered skeptics—including   and  —generally adhere to the orthodoxy, differing not in their stated belief that   is a pollutant but only in how calamitous a pollutant it is. Because everyone now participates in the “CO2 emissions are bad” lie, the debate over climate policy hasn’t been over whether a CO2 problem exists but over how urgently CO2 needs to be addressed, and how it should be addressed. Do we have eight years left before Armageddon becomes inevitable or decades? Do we get off fossil fuels by building nuclear plants or wind turbines? Should we change our lifestyles to need less of everything? Or should we mitigate this evil—the view of those deemed climate minimalists—by shielding our continents from a rising of the oceans by enclosing them behind sea walls? With almost everyone across the political spectrum publicly agreeing that curbing CO2 is a good thing, the debate has been between those who want to do good quickly by reaching net-zero in 2040 and sticks in the mud who want to slow down the doing of a good thing. With discourse careening down rabbit holes, almost everyone gets lost pursuing solutions to Alice-in-Wonderland delusions—and wasting trillions of dollars in the process. Until the  , when   was still called global warming and the mainstream media still noticed that none of the myriad predictions of a climate catastrophe were being borne out—the polar caps weren’t melting, Manhattan wasn’t about to be submerged, malaria wasn’t infecting the Northern Hemisphere—many exposed man-made climate change as a hoax. The leaked Climategate emails revealed how scientists had conspired to “ ” in temperatures that didn’t conform to their models. The claim that   supported the global warming theory was exposed as a fraud, as was the claim that the 4,000 scientists associated with the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) endorsed its report—those  , and most hadn’t even read it but had merely reviewed parts of the report and often disagreed with what they read. The claim that the “science was settled” on climate change never withstood scrutiny. Scientists around the world signed a   to dispute that claim. The 2008  , spearheaded by a former president of the National Academy of Science and championed by Freeman Dyson, Albert Einstein’s successor at Princeton and one of the world’s most preeminent scientists, was signed by more than 31,000 scientists and experts who agreed that “the proposed limits on greenhouse gases would harm the environment, hinder the advance of science and technology, and damage the health and welfare of mankind.… Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth.” [caption id="""" align=""alignnone"" width=""599""] What is settled is the abject failure of the three-decade-long attempt by the bureaucracies of the 195 countries of the IPCC to convince anyone other than themselves, a credulous media, and a relatively few gullible people that climate change represents an existential threat. Poll after poll over the decades shows the public gives climate change short shrift when asked to rank its importance. A   released last week that asked Americans, “What do you think is the most important problem facing this country today?” found that climate change didn’t meet its criteria of the many issues worth listing. As Gallup noted: “Many parts of the nation have suffered record heat in recent weeks, and other regions have received record flooding. But a low 3% of Americans mention the weather, the environment or climate change as the nation’s top problem.” So, too, last month, where “just 1 percent of voters in a recent  /Siena College poll named climate change as the most important issue facing the country … [and] even among voters under 30, the group thought to be most energized by the issue, that figure was 3 percent.” Although most elites continue to pay lip service to the urgency of curbing carbon dioxide, their actions belie their words, whether judged by their penchant for private jet travel or their disingenuous commitment to climate-related policies. According to an   (IEA) announcement last week, coal is once again king: Global coal demand this year will “match the annual record set in 2013, and coal demand is likely to increase further next year to a new all-time high.” The IEA’s assessment comports with a worldwide embrace of coal that includes the European Union, until recently the world’s most zealous climate scold. The EU is now walking back its net-zero commitments. In some countries, governments aren’t so much walking back climate policies as unabashedly kicking them out. Calling wind turbines   and cause “visual pollution” without providing much energy, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said the government will end the subsidies and stop issuing permits for new wind projects. Israel also is set to pull the plug on the country’s wind industry, its environmental protection minister arguing that wind provides a “ ” to the country’s power system “compared to the potential for harm to nature, which is high.” Recognizing renewables as economic and environmental boondoggles, as Mexico and Israel have done, is a step toward puncturing the lie that a fuel that emits carbon dioxide can be sensibly replaced. The other shoe to drop is the lie that carbon dioxide-emitting fuels should be replaced. The fantastical claim that CO2 is a pollutant was cut out of whole cloth. The  —that “there is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate” is as true today as it was then, and as it always has been. No scientist anywhere at any time has shown that manmade CO2 emissions—aka nature’s fertilizer—do any harm to anything.

Christian democrats reportedly support the plans, but they want additional revenues from the tax hike to help livestock farmers restructure their operations. ""Such a tax can be a constructive proposal,"" said Christian Democratic Union of Germany spokesman Albert Stegemann. Food prices are already soaring in Germany, along with gas and energy costs, but environmentalists from the Green Party are still pushing for an even steeper levy than the proposed 19 percent. Federal Minister of Food and Agriculture Cem Özdemir said that Germans should eat less meat overall. The Green Party also wants to covert livestock farmers to primarily support fertilization for the production of plant-based foods, with Özdemir saying that they should be ""adapting meat consumption to planetary boundaries and for the sake of our health."" (Related:  ) This falls in line with the Green Party leadership's refusal to back the value-added tax (VAT) hike for meat. Rober Habeck, co-leader of the Green Party, said he wanted ""a full overhaul of the VAT system to tackle environmental concerns."" This is also in line with the proposal of a multi-sector group called He Waka Eke Noa in New Zealand. The 13-man group called for the imposition of a when they belch or pass gas. The group He Waka Eke Noa (HWEN) wanted a ""farm-level split-gas levy on agricultural emissions, with built-in incentives to reduce emissions and sequester carbon."" Under the measure, farmers will have to pay taxes for not only the carbon emissions from their farm equipment, but also the methane emissions produced by livestock as their stomachs digest food. If Wellington adopts HWEN’s proposal, the government will essentially tax burps and farts coming from cows, sheep and other farm animals starting 2025. In the United States, leftists and climate alarmists have long had their sights on destroying livestock farmers and meat pricing off everyone's menu. Vox Media said if this tax hike on meat gains traction, it could help "" ,"" adding that the U.S. should also follow by inflicting maximum pain on meat consumers. ""Eating that way wouldn’t be illegal, but people who choose to do it would have to pay for the imposition of their choices on others,"" the publication stated. Climate change alarmists have also latched on to the German model and are pushing for it to be implemented in other rich countries, backing their arguments with studies from groups that have the same goal of effectively eliminating meat consumption. A coalition of Berlin ""environmental economists"" also said that livestock farming is a huge contributor to greenhouse gas emissions as well as soil and water pollution. Professor Linus Mattauch, an honorary research associate at the School of Geography and the Environment at the  , said evidence suggests the environmental impacts of meat are so large that the world can't meet climate goals and keep vital ecosystems intact without reducing meat consumptions – at least in high-income countries. According to Mattauch, increasing the price of meat to a prohibitive degree, inflating the cost of beef upwards of 60 percent along with a 25 percent cost hike on poultry and 19 percent for pork and lamb can be the solution to the meat consumption problem. A separate study also argued that by at least 75 percent. The researchers claimed that the meat industry is a ""leading driver of deforestation,"" contributes 14.5 percent of greenhouse gas emissions and wastes significant amounts of resources. ""If all humans consumed as much meat as Europeans or North Americans, we would certainly miss the international climate targets and many ecosystems would collapse,"" said Dr. Matin Qaim, the lead researcher of the study.

""As teachers and students consider the impacts of climate change, we should be mindful of the emotional dimensions of the human experience,"" the curriculum explains. ""For too long, science and science education have prioritized my rational thinking. As we delve more deeply into the impacts of climate change using the data [from the Washington Tracking Network] and the practices of the Next Generation Science Standards, we must learn to pay attention to our own emotions and those of other people."" In other words, critical thinking based on facts is a hindrance to global warming fanatics and their radical agenda. One way to help overcome this is to set critical thinking aside and focus more on feelings concerning the climate. Emotions ""signal alignment or discord between cultural values and technical assertions,"" the document goes on to state, adding that ignoring them suggests a level of ""arrogance"" that can ""weaken important relationships for getting things done."" (Related: In order to achieve ""climate justice,"" Reuters the world requires much more depopulation.) It is clear from the WSDH's new climate curriculum that the climate cult is starting to pivot away from the idea that their dogmas have anything whatsoever to do with verifiable science. Todd Myers, environmental director of the free-market-oriented Washington Policy Center, said this newfound disregard for ""rational thinking"" in students' science curriculum will only end up being ""disadvantageous to students and society."" This is an understatement, though. In truth, climate change is a religion that relies almost entirely on blind faith since it is not a settled matter. There are many scientists out there who have presented sound scientific evidence that global warming is not actually real – but they are typically ignored. Because of this conflict, the global warming cult is developing a new emotions-based system of belief that encourages turning off one's own brain and sensibilities while embracing fairy tales as fact. ""Saying that we have overemphasized 'rational thinking' in what is supposed to be a scientific curriculum is not only foolish, it is harmful to people and the environment,"" Myers added in a statement. ""Ultimately, attacking rational thinking is just a way to justify policies that are irrational and unscientific. When the science doesn't support a policy, advocates can simply claim that we shouldn't be bound by rationality and should go with our feelings. It is a recipe for policy based on tantrums rather than data."" In truth, this new approach to climate believism is centered around demagoguery, which by definition is used by malevolent actors to gain ""power and popularity by arousing emotions, passions and prejudices of the people."" Teaching the climate religion in schools is akin to teaching the Bible or the Quran, which leftists oppose because they believe in ""separation of church and state."" How, then, can they justify teaching climate fairy tales as truth in the very same setting? ""If you don't get your kids out of the indoctrination public school system or make a loud and firm stand against the agenda, you don't get to complain,"" one commenter wrote about the matter.

According to the paper, these countries are preparing to demand a ""climate-related and justice-based"" global tax as a means of financing payments for loss and damage suffered by a developing world. The document said this could be levied through surcharges on airline travel, penalties on the heavily polluting and carbon-intensive bunker fuels used by ships, adding charges to fossil fuel extraction or a fee on financial transactions. (Related:  .) Moreover, the paper outlined the benefits and disadvantages of each of these along with the option of boosting funding from rich nations through the private sector and the global development banks such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. The British publication itself acknowledged that any tax would clearly be destructive to global shipping and further increase food and fuel prices. All alternatives for financial loss and damage are likely to be hard for rich countries to agree to at a time of surging fossil fuel costs, soaring food prices and cost of living trouble around the globe. Although rich nations agreed at the COP26 UN climate summit in Glasgow last year that there should be a plan for loss and damage, there is no negotiation on how it could be financed or who should donate. Countries in the Caribbean, known mainly for being a tourism hotspot, also turned in separate documents to the UN with regard to the potential damage they could incur during the ""climate collapse."" One submission from the island nation of Antigua and Barbuda warned that ""rising sea and air temperatures"" in the region could produce a superstorm within years. It indicated that damages from this potential disaster could cause $8.9 billion on the Antigua and Barbuda – six times its annual GDP. ""The case of Antigua and Barbuda underscores the need for ambitious climate action addressing greenhouse gas emissions reduction, adaptation and loss and damage,"" said Adelle Thomas, director of the Climate Change Adaptation and Resilience Research Center at the . ""For countries in the Caribbean that have contributed the least to climate change but are already struggling with current impacts, it is critical that global warming is limited to 1.5 C; that funding for adaptation is significantly increased and made more accessible; and that there is new and additional finance and support available to address loss and damage."" ""We are experiencing climate impacts that become more and more extreme with each passing year,"" said Walton Webson, Antigua and Barbuda's ambassador to the UN. ""We deserve to live without the looming fear of debt and destruction.

Backup IP: http://45.89.97.6 This site uses cookies " unreliable,"Antifa terror cell arrested, found with BOMBS… while Bloomberg News headline calls for climate terrorists to carry out “property destruction” nationwide – NaturalNews.com Over the weekend, this author received intel chatter -- unconfirmed but worth paying attention -- about radical left-wing terrorists planning on carrying out acts of sabotage during the Christmas week deep freeze that's about to hit much of North America. Acts of sabotage against domestic power infrastructure are multiplied in their chaos effects by sub-freezing weather which makes power loss extremely dangerous for a variety of reasons. It also makes emergency responses and power infrastructure repair activities more risky and difficult to complete. Thus, left-wing terrorists taking out electrical substations during extreme cold weather events is a kind of asymmetrical warfare carried out by those who wish to achieve maximum carnage and loss of (civilian) life. Left-wing Antifa types have a long history of sabotage acts against rail lines, bridges and other critical infrastructure. (See for some of the coverage.) But in the coming week, there's another factor at play that may be part of the domestic terrorism planning of certain Antifa cells: Many Antifa supporters are Luciferians / Satanists, and if they can take down the power grid on or around Christmas Day, they will literally achieve the snuffing out of lights on the day of Christ. This would be an ""extra credit"" type of terrorism activity for those who are also satanists and who therefore despise both Christ and a functioning human civilization. For this reason, we are issuing a cautionary alert for all Americans to be prepared to endure deliberate acts of infrastructure sabotage carried out by left-wing terrorists. Over the last few weeks, sabotage of the power grid infrastructure has taken place in both North Carolina and Oregon. While the left-wing media immediately leaped to the false conclusion that anti-LGBT activists might have been involved, there hasn't been a shred of credible evidence presented to support such a claim. Generally speaking, for the simple reason that conservatives are often business owners, managers and workers who have jobs and therefore need the infrastructure to function. In contrast, radical left-wing activists are usually jobless communists and own nothing. They see the functioning of the system as a threat to their communist / satanist philosophy, and they have no skin in the game of keeping society running. The vast majority of infrastructure terrorism events over the last six years or so are traced back to Antifa leftists and eco-fascists, in fact. For example, see these stories covering such events: Breitbart.com: . The Gateway Pundit: . Another TGP article: . From NaturalNews: Note that the Project Veritas in the NN article above is located in North Carolina, (which the media falsely blamed on right-wingers). From NaturalNews: Members of the Redneck Revolt believe themselves to be armed revolutionaries from the working class who share the same communist, anarchist vision for America’s future. In their view, the working class should be in charge of a country with no government. “And they believe in total abolition of everything, including the police,” the undercover journalist added. Redneck Revolt is also opposed to capitalism and wealth in general, and is seeking to raise up a “militant resistance” capable of bringing about total “revolution” throughout the United States. What sets Redneck Revolt apart from other Antifa arms is that this group looks more like a militia, and even attends gun shows and other community events. Some of them may even look like “conservatives” if you were none the wiser as to their tactics and agenda. Part of the Project Veritas investigation into Redneck Revolt also revealed that the group contributes to a far-left anarchist website known as “Going Down” that has conducted “armed anti-Trump demonstrations” in the past. On this website, one PDF document promotes an “armed struggle” while another is dubbed the “Mini-Manual Of The Urban Guerilla.” This latter document contains pictures of left-wing militants “using RPGs and outlines including sections on ” Now, as you'll see below, left-wing media publishers like Bloomberg appear to be all-in with Redneck Revolt's tactics of domestic terrorism. And now, Bloomberg News is calling for ""sabotage and property destruction"" to achieve some sort of twisted climate justice outcome by destroying things. to try to walk back the open threats of domestic terrorism, Bloomberg.com reports that climate activists must resort to property destruction. The original headline declared, ""The Climate Movement Needs to Embrace Property Destruction,"" claiming climate activists ""must escalate their tactics."" To terrorism, apparently: Note that if a Trump supporter called for such things, they would be not just decried as terrorists; they would be immediately visited by FBI agents and possibly face DOJ charges for making terroristic threats. But when Bloomberg and left-wing climate activists call for violence, it is apparently acceptable to the FBI, DOJ, DHS and the entire left-wing media. It's the media, after all, that's publishing the direct, blatant call for domestic terrorism in the name of climate justice. Professor Andreas Malm, featured in the Bloomberg-covered podcast, is a typical ""eco-Marxist"" and was the subject of a podcast (and a book) entitled How to Blow Up a Pipeline . He repeatedly calls for acts of domestic terrorism in the name of climate justice, and he recruits left-wing publishers to amplify his message of terrorism. For example, Back in October, the New Yorker wrote a lengthy defense of Antifa, and now the New Yorker is looking to shift its cheerleading to eco-terrorism. On Friday, the New Yorker hosted Andreas Malm, an environmental extremist who endorses domestic terrorism to save Mother Earth. He calls it “intelligent sabotage,” but it’s terrorism. ...Malm then moves on to openly call for property destruction, including “attacking construction equipment” and “blowing up a pipeline.” As , quoting professor Malm: “Damage and destroy new CO2-emitting devices. Put them out of commission, pick them apart, demolish them, burn them, blow them up. Let the capitalists who keep on investing in the fire know that their properties will be trashed,” Malm wrote in his book that was promoted during the podcast. Now, it seems, Bloomberg has joined the domestic terrorism, bandwagon and is openly calling for felony acts of property destruction in the name of climate activism.

What we are seeing happen right now with anti-meat campaigns and the push for humans to eat crickets and other bugs instead is a prominent example of this. (Related: The Canadian government is to build a massive insect processing plant, which is supposedly earth-friendly.) Another example is the so-called ""Food Compass"" created by the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy. Unveiled in late 2021, this Great Reset tool discourages the consumption of any foods that come from animals, including meat and butter, and steers people towards ultra-processed foods instead. The Food Compass alleges that Frosted Mini Wheats, for instance, is three times healthier than all-natural ground beef. The sugar-laden cereal was given a score of 87 out of 100 compared to 26 out of 100 for ground beef. The guide also claims that other toxic cereals like Lucky Charms, as well as M&Ms, are healthier than a whole egg fried in butter with cheddar cheese and ground beef. ""Based on this tool,"" says Dr. Joseph Mercola, ""you'll be healthier if you replace whole egg, cheddar cheese and ground beef with candy."" All of the so-called ""foods"" pushed in the Food Compass are toxic and health-destroying, while all of the foods the guide says to avoid produce health and vitality. Why do you think that might be? The answer is that the soft-kill guidelines in the Food Compass are already depopulating the world while brainwashing the next generation of people into thinking that meat and butter are unhealthy. There is already a very strong vegetarian and vegan agenda being pushed in academia, the media, and even some religious groups. People are being told that if they eat meat or eggs or animal fat, their arteries will clog up and they will die. Eating fake meat from Bill Gates-invested Beyond Meat, on the other hand, is a ""sustainable"" way to stay healthy while protecting the planet against global warming – see how it works? The latest fiasco with the Dutch government's attempt at eradicating cattle farmers from the country represents the next phase of the globalists' forced transition away from meat. Since not enough people have voluntarily gone vegan, the powers that be are going to force them into compliance. ""This 'green' policy will cut livestock production in the country by 30% in the next year, put farmers out of business, and force them to sell their land,"" Mercola writes about the situation in The Netherlands. ""Since The Netherlands is the largest meat exporter in the European Union, it will also result in meat shortages around the world. According to Dutch Parliament member Thierry Baudet, this 'green' policy is really a thinly veiled excuse for a land grab."" All of this aligns with the script of the Great Reset as outlined by World Economic Forum (WEF) head Klaus Schwab. The agenda is to weaken producing countries, dilute their nationalism by flooding them with immigrants, and eventually stealing the land and turning the civilization that once existed there into rubble.

""Sabotage Joe"" is reportedly planning on declaring a climate emergency and invoking executive orders that would make all these things a reality. With these executive orders, America would be plunged into Third World status, with near-total economic collapse, mass starvation, widespread power grid failures and civil unrest events off the charts. This is the plan of the who are now at war with human civilization and who seek the complete dismantling of fossil fuel infrastructure across planet Earth, even if it means billions of people are plunged into poverty and starvation. (See for more coverage of the climate cult.) As both and are reporting, Joe Biden is poised to declare a climate emergency and sign executive orders that would strangle America's energy infrastructure. Biden's destructive executive orders are reported to be based on , which outlines the following demands to collapse America's energy infrastructure: Taken together, these actions represent by taking away the energy infrastructure that allows this nation to operate. Without oil and natural gas, the United States of America would have no way to transport coal to power plants, resulting in nationwide blackouts and the collapse of most industry and private sector operations. This, in turn, would result in mass joblessness, homelessness and destitution. Without affordable fuel for transportation and logistics: In essence, if these executive orders are invoked and allowed to stand, it would mean the total destruction of America and a catastrophic collapse into a Third World existence. Almost certainly, at least due to mass starvation, violence, social unrest, suicides and more. The nation would be gutted. This is apparently what climate cultists want, of course: The complete extermination of human civilization, which they consider to be a scourge on the planet. To save the Earth, they believe, they must wipe out most human beings living today. Achieving that requires an economic collapse and widespread food scarcity, so these policies are designed to achieve precisely those outcomes. Because climate cultists believe they are fighting for the very survival of the planet, there's no limit to the number of human beings they will murder to achieve their stated goals. That's why climate cultists are actually eco-terrorists who repeatedly target human civilization and human infrastructure with acts of sabotage. They see human infrastructure as destructive and human beings as carbon polluters. They will not be satisfied until they tear down every system that keeps humanity alive, including agriculture, transportation and the power grid. Only in darkness and destitution will the climate cultists find happiness. When billions die, the cities have collapsed and the roads are empty climate cultists will finally claim to have achieved ""sustainability,"" even though most of them will have already died from their own self-induced starvation. If we turn our policies over to these left-wing lunatics, we join their suicide cult that can only end in global depopulation, starvation and suffering. . If you shut down the fossil fuel infrastructure while falsely claiming to be in a ""transition"" to green energy, you only end up transitioning into mass global death and suffering. Green energy isn't yet able to power tractors, transport trucks, trains and a reliable power grid. Until that day comes -- which will require decades of research into improved batteries, hot fusion and cold fusion energy systems -- shutting down fossil fuels is a suicide mission.

Doing this, he says, will help cool the planet and prevent polar ice sheets from melting. Should the world ignore his weather modification advice, Soros says the ice sheets that comprise Greenland will melt and create doom for the entirety of human civilization. ""Our civilization is in danger of collapsing because of the inexorable advance of climate change,"" Soros told his audience at the Munich Security Conference. ""The melting of the Greenland ice sheet would increase the level of the oceans by seven meters. That poses a threat to the survival of our civilization. I wasn't willing to accept that fate, so I tried to find out whether anything could be done to avoid it. I was directed to Sir David King, a climate scientist who had been chief scientific advisor to previous British governments."" (Related: The queer operatives who work for Soros are a foreign invasion to completely overthrow America.) Sir David King, in case you are unfamiliar with him, used to be the chief scientific adviser for the United Kingdom's special envoy on climate change. He founded the Centre for Climate Repair at University of Cambridge in 2019 to study how to ""refreeze"" the arctic, as well as mitigate carbon emissions. Refreezing the arctic is a hypothetical proposition that, like Soros explained, utilizes fake white clouds to reflect natural sunlight away from the earth. This would prevent it from reaching plants and humans, both of which rely on sunlight for life and longevity. ""[King] has developed a theory which is widely shared by climate scientists,"" Soros explained. ""It holds that the global climate system used to be stable but human intervention disrupted it. The Arctic Circle used to be sealed off from the rest of the world by winds that blew in a predictable, circular, counter-clockwise direction, but man-made climate change broke this isolation."" ""Sir David King has a plan to repair the climate system. He wants to recreate the albedo effect by creating white clouds high above the earth. With proper scientific safeguards and in consultation with local indigenous communities, this project could help restabilize the Arctic climate system which governs the entire global climate system."" To allow the sun to continue shining as normal is to destroy ""a previously stable system,"" according to Soros, who wants to see ""human ingenuity, both local and international"" create ways of blocking the sun in order to ""restore"" the stable system that Soros claims previously existed. ""Unless we change the way we deal with climate change, our civilization will be thoroughly disrupted by rising temperatures that will make large parts of the world practically unlivable,"" Soros claims. During his speech, Soros also showed a video narrated by King that explains the ""importance of repairing global ecosystems,"" which he says are being harmed by carbon dioxide (CO2) and other natural molecules. Last year, dozens of scientists wrote an open letter calling on governments everywhere to prohibit the type of technology that King and Soros are pushing to have implemented as the ""solution"" to global warming. ""The risks of solar geoengineering are poorly understood and can never be fully known,"" the letter reads. ""Impacts will vary across regions, and there are uncertainties about the effects on weather patterns, agriculture, and the provision of basic needs of food and water.""

But there is something sinister that people should be concerned about. Apparently, Charles III is a key figure behind the World Economic Forum (WEF) that is pushing the so-called Great Reset. (Related:  .) Charles III is a staunch environmentalist , quoting Christian Patriot News . The royal figure has previously announced the need for ""a military-style campaign to bring the world to zero emissions."" Moreover, he has also called for the same campaign to ""marshal the strength of the global private sector"" using his globalist powers and the royal coffers. During his time as the Prince of Wales, Charles III ignored the convention of royals staying away from politics. He did, however, promise to put aside his advocacy during a speech following Elizabeth II's death. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Australian Opposition Leader Peter Dutton have differing views on the new British king's remarks. ""[As] the king, he will have a responsibility to dispense his duties fairly as the [late] queen did,"" said Dutton, who heads the Liberal Party of Australia. ""I think as the queen conducted her business, he is there now as an impartial person."" Albanese, meanwhile, defended Charles III's outspokenness on the climate issue as ""appropriate."" ""Dealing with the challenge of climate change shouldn't be seen as a political issue, it should be seen as an issue that is about humanity and about our very quality of life and survival as a world,"" he said. The prime minister, who also leads the Australian Labor Party (ALP), inadvertently revealed how his government will treat opponents of climate change. By insisting that climate change is apolitical, the Labor Party is casting anyone who disagrees with their approach as a partisan who does not care about the ""very quality of life and survival."" It oddly mirrors the same approach as attacking those who opposed lockdowns against the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) as killers, despite a plethora of obvious reasons why locking down millions for a virus with an overwhelmingly high chance of survival was a bad idea. According to Sky News Australia , dealing with climate change – as the policies imposed in relation to it stems from a left-wing political ideology, namely massive government meddling in the economy. Virtual addresses delivered by Charles III to the WEF back in June 2020 emphasized how the ""Great Reset"" sought to use the shift toward Big Government oversight seen during the COVID-19 pandemic to ""reset"" the global economy. Moreover, the WEF would move to a form of neo-feudalism, where governments would collude with private sectors to facilitate a reset of capitalism to fight climate change. Try as it might, Sky News noted that there is no hiding the fact that climate change remains to be one of the most political issues of recent times. And to try to mask this, the ALP is going to use guilt-laden rhetoric used by state politicians at the height of their COVID-19 future . More related stories: . .

The company announced its new censorship policy in a   which said the goal was about “driving sustainability awareness” (brainwashing children to be hysterically afraid of the ‘climate crisis’ ending all life on earth). TikTok said it believes it has an “important role to play in empowering informed climate discussions,” that role being to silence anyone who challenges prevailing mainstream narratives and banning their accounts. The video platform will push, “Several initiatives that will help reduce harmful climate change misinformation while elevating authoritative information year-round,” states the post. Information that will be censored includes any claim that “undermines well-established scientific consensus” (despite the fact that the entire premise of ‘science’ is that it’s constantly evolving due to new ideas and criticism of old dogma). “Denying the existence of climate change or the factors that contribute to it” will lead to videos being ‘fact checked’ by bias organizations which routinely serve as front groups for the environmentalist lobby and governments. The new measures represent another effort by TikTok, which is owned by Chinese company ByteDance, to appease western governments’ demand for more censorship. “They’re obviously just copying these policies straight from Google/YouTube,”   Chris Menahan. “As a Chinese company, TikTok is responding to “market incentives” — which in this case is the US government threatening to ban them entirely.” TikTok is by far the most censorious major social platform in existence, arbitrarily removing right-leaning information while simultaneously allowing bizarre and dangerous ‘challenges’ to go viral despite overwhelming dangers to children. The latest example is the ‘Benadryl Challenge’, which promotes kids taking a dozen or more Benadryl pills in the hopes of hallucinating, which in one case   of an Ohio teenager.

Just to clarify, ""misinformation,"" in this context, refers to any information that is considered harmful to powerful climate interests.

In the comments, someone wrote that China clearly wants more young Americans to vote for Democrats because they are the party pushing the man-made climate change false narrative. ""Voting for Democrats is good for China,"" this person further suggested. ""You know, like when China launched a bioweapon (covid) on America disguised as an 'accidental lab leak from Wuhan.'"" Another wrote that it is nothing short of ironic, not to mention hypocritical , for China to be censoring content questioning climate change when it remains a world leader in carbon output and coal plant construction. ""The Chinese define global warming ... if it were a real thing,"" this person said. Another stressed that what this all comes down to is the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) aggression against free market economies, which the United States used to have before the corporate oligarchies took over and replaced it with fascism.

It is apparently a known thing throughout the UK that SUV owners risk having their tires deflated should a member of Tyre Extinguishers spot one. Just like the members of ""Just Stop Oil"" are doing all across the UK, Tyre Extinguishers members are roving Great Britain in search of SUVs to vandalize. The problem is apparently so bad across the pond that The Telegraph published an article about the phenomenon warning readers that they had better be careful if they choose to purchase a sports utility vehicle, as doing so could incur the wrath of the climate mob. These vandals are also invading the U.S., though, just to be clear. In the last month alone, Boston has seen some 42 different SUVs parked on Beacon Hill have their tires deflated. Beacon Hill is one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the city.

Boston radio host Howie Carr chimed in on the phenomenon during a recent broadcast, revealing that Beacon Hill is home to John Kerry, the first U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate. ""He flies around the world in a private jet owned by the taxpayers telling other people they have to give up their cars, but would he like charging stations in front of his mansion in Louisburg Square?""

""If he doesn't want a fire hydrant, do you think he wants electric chargers?"" Carr asked. To Fyre Extinguishers, even electric cars are not ""climate-friendly"" because of the immense environmental toll that occurs from mining the minerals necessary to produce all those batteries.

The EU’s environmental regulations are a threat to basic economic freedoms and the repercussions will impact human rights and the food supply itself. , governments are bribing small and mid-sized farmers to shut down their operations permanently because their facilities produce high levels of nitrogen. The nitrogen is now labeled a “pollutant” that should be cut by 50% across Europe. Under the Green Deal, it is “necessary and appropriate” to “improve the environmental conditions of the targeted areas and to allow a high quality, sustainable and environmentally friendly production,” and that involves shutting down hundreds of small farms. The Dutch government has budgeted roughly €1.47 billion ($1.62 billion) to pay off the farmers and shut them down for good. The funds will be used to compensate the farmers “up to 100 percent” of the losses they incur after “voluntarily” agreeing to shutdown dairy, cattle, pig, and poultry breeding sites. The EU Commission is calling these buyouts “direct grants.” Under the government's plan, these new buy-outs of small and mid-sized farms are called “schemes.” The Dutch government will keep the schemes running until February of 2028, until most farming operations are consolidated into the hands of the few. The EU Commission claims that the schemes are “proportionate” and the compensation “brings about positive effects that outweigh any potential distortion of competition and trade in the European Union.” Farmers are only eligible for the buy-outs if they can prove that they have produced for five consecutive years. The WEF globalists behind the new plan know that the Netherlands is a top exporter of meat and agricultural products around the world. According to the National Statistics Office, Dutch agricultural exports were worth €122.3 billion last year. Farmers are fighting back against the new environmental rules that threaten their very existence, but the . Robbin Voorend is one such farmer who has spoken out about . The government’s nitrogen emission schemes have already cut his livestock production by 90-95%. Dairy farmer Martin Neppelenbroek attests that the government culled 95% of his herd. These schemes will not be enough to convince every farmer to shut down, so additional bribes and payouts will be included in the bigger plan. Under the €975 million ($1.77 billion) LBV-plus scheme, some farmers who shut down high-level nitrogen operations will receive up to 120% in compensation from the lost production capacity. Under the European Green Deal, member states may grant some farmers an additional 20% “green bonus”  -- if they shutdown their farms for “environmental” reasons. Dutch political commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek estimates that the EU buyouts could permanently shutdown 3,000 or more Dutch farms. “This is how they do it: they put a knife to the farmers’ throats. They make sure they don’t get their licenses renewed, they’re plaguing them with new rules and restrictions every day and then offer them a bribe, knowing many will take it out of pure desperation. It’s all so vile,” Vlaardingerbroek wrote, while questioning the legality of the government prohibiting farmers from starting over again. “The whole idea of the EU was supposed to be about freedom of movement and freedom of workers. This is some ,” Vlaardingerbroek warned.

""Our states will not idly stand for our pensioners' retirements to be sacrificed for BlackRock's climate agenda. The time has come for them to come clean on whether it actually values our states' most valuable stakeholders, our current and future retirees, or risk losses even more significant than those caused by BlackRock's quixotic climate agenda,"" the letter stated. Texas AG Ken Paxton said in an August 8 news release that harm Texas' oil and gas economy and state pension fund performance. He added that the firm's actions may have also violated state and federal laws. ??In a letter sent to several states, BlackRock said that it has joined climate organizations merely for a meeting, focusing solely on the company's fiduciary duty. According to a news release from Arizona AG Mark Brnovich's office, BlackRock's focus goes beyond ""dialogue."" The company's website's description included ensuring the world's largest greenhouse gas emitters take necessary action on climate change and support the  , an international treaty on climate change adopted in 2015. The AG also said anyone who purchases a BlackRock fund is forced to support ESG, whether they like it or not. Furthermore, West Virginia AG Patrick Morrisey accused the company of coercion. ""This is an example of a company pushing their , using investments to force companies and people to abide by their ideology,"" Morrisey said in a statement. BlackRock has denied the allegations and claimed that it offers a wide range of products and strategies. Meanwhile, ""Woke Inc."" author Vivek Ramaswamy told the audience at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Dallas that he launched an Ohio-based financial firm called Strive as an alternative to woke investment firms. He noted that ESG is also called stakeholder capitalism, which produces less profit for its shareholders. What's worse, according to Ramaswamy, is the rise of ESG that ""drains the lifeblood"" out of democracy. ""What this represents is a new vehicle for the party in power to do through the backdoor what the government could not get done through the front door under the Constitution,"" Ramaswamy said. Back in May, Texas Senator Ted Cruz . He further pushed for money managers like him to be barred from voting on behalf of other investors ""to advance their woke political interests."" ""Because that is not capitalism, that is abusing the market,"" Cruz pointed out in an interview with CNBC 's ""Squawk Box."" Aside from slamming for the surge in gas prices since he assumed office in January 2021, the Republican senator also argued that Fink has stopped focusing on increasing profits for shareholders but instead concentrated on social issues such as climate change to be favorable with the elite liberals. Previously, Fink highlighted climate change as a problem facing corporations in a 2020 letter to CEOs of the companies his firm has invested in. ""Climate change has become a defining factor in companies' long-term prospects. I believe we are on the edge of a fundamental reshaping of finance,"" he wrote. Critics are saying that Fink's move may somehow be insignificant in relation to its . The efforts to gain the trust of the wealthy ones and deceive the shareholders could possibly relieve the said fall. (Related: .) BlackRock management was quick to invoke the first-half market carnage when revealing the investment performance early in July. ""The year 2022 ranks as the worst start in 50 years for both stocks and bonds,"" Fink said on his earnings call. BlackRock is reportedly giving up. Toward the end of June, only about a quarter of its assets were actively managed to beat a benchmark, instead of tracking it seamlessly as passive strategies are designed to do.

Massive forest fires are happening in Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, Greece, and other parts of Europe. More than a thousand people were reported to have died due to heat, mostly in southern Europe. The heat and the fires are destroying human lives, livestock and properties and essential crops.

Thunberg quietly deleted the 2018 tweet, but not before Twitter users caught her. Hi ! Why did you delete this? — No Bailouts Poso ?? (@JackPosobiec) Thunberg has made a career in dramatic climate theater acting.    on her recent “arrest” for protesting open-pit coal mining in Lützerath, Germany, as world media breathlessly recounted. The videos that emerged  show overdramatized made for tv stunt. .  again by German authorities for protesting yet another new coal mine.  when it comes to addressing energy use within the climate change conversation. Although she   in November where she declared her intention to “overthrow” the allegedly “oppressive” and “racist” capitalist system, she loves rubbing elbows with the elites. And she loves her global travels. Greta Thunberg is asked by if she has ever flown on a private jet. ""I own 100 private jets,"" replied the climate activist. Watch the full video: — Rebel News (@RebelNewsOnline) And yet Greta wears manmade fibers, drives a car sailed across the Atlantic on a boat not made of wood, flies across the globe for her grift and lectures world leaders who are promoting her climate change agenda while simultaneously sucking up to them. In January, Thunberg joined Bloomberg on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum and began attacking those assisting her in promoting her climate change agenda. “Basically, the people who are mostly fueling the destruction of the planet, the people who are at the very core of the climate crisis, the people who are investing in fossil fuels, etc. And yet somehow, these are the people that we seem to rely on solving our problems where they have proven time and time again that they are not prioritizing,” Thunberg said. Wait, what? Did we hear it right? Greta continued by saying these elites attending the WEF summit in Davos are prioritizing “self-greed, corporate greed, and short-term economic profits.” “They are prioritizing self-greed, corporate greed, and short-term economic profits above people and above planet. Right now, the changes that we need are not very likely to come from the inside. Rather, I believe they will come from the bottom up, so to speak,” she said. Because without public pressure, without massive public pressure from the outside, at least in my experience and these people are going to go as far as they possibly can as long as they can get away with it. They will continue to invest in fossil fuels. They will continue to throw people under the bus for their own gain,” she continued.
