Recently, the Sierra Club released its “Equity Language Guide,” to demonstrate its “commitment to equity, justice, and inclusion" by using "respectful, thoughtful language in all of our communications.” Sierra is on paper a ‘grassroots’ environmental organization whose goal is to ‘defend everyone’s right to a healthy world,’ yet Sierra’s website refers to diversity, inclusion, equity, race, etc. Sierra supports reparations for Black people, claiming that it’s “impossible to create a healthy, safe, and sustainable planet without acknowledging and materially addressing the past and present economic, cultural, psychological, and spiritual impacts of racism.” Sierra’s business model is virtue-signaling

Dodging the Apocalypse

A little over a week ago, on Sunday, March 12, a near-catastrophic event occurred that could have wrecked the lives of everyone reading this:
A massive eruption of solar material, known as a coronal mass ejection or CME, was detected escaping from the Sun at 11:36 p.m. EDT on March 12, 2023. The CME erupted from the side of the Sun opposite Earth. (snip) If it had been facing in our direction, if the earth had borne the full brunt of that blast, we can scarcely imagine the results. It’s likely that all operating electrical systems would have been immediately destroyed, the same as the telegraph systems in 1859.
Three years ago tomorrow, on March 21, 2020, American Thinker published the first nationally-read critical article about Dr. Anthony Fauci (snip) The gist of the article was substantive (snip) On March 24, 2020, POLITICO was the first publication to pile on in “Anthony Fauci becomes a fringe MAGA target:” (snip) Two days later, the Washington Post published the first of four critical articles that referenced – and linked to – my AT blog. Also weighing in were the New York Times (two articles including one of them on page 1A), New York Magazine, Vanity Fair, Buzzfeed, and a large number of other left of center MSM outlets
Don't fall for another Jan. 6–style trap!

President Trump has stated that he will be arrested on Tuesday and we should all take to the streets.
Don't do it!
Stay home, and let the lawyers handle it.
This is a set-up, just like January 6. Don't fall for it.
Don't go anywhere near a federal building, don't stand with groups of people you don't know, and don't send threatening emails.
Stay home, and let the lawyers deal with it. President Trump has good lawyers, he has great lawyers...he even has had Alan Dershowitz as a lawyer.
Trials are meant to be won, by rich people. President Trump is rich. Let him fight his battle.
One of the more delightful aspects of being a dissident from the absurd apocalyptic climate doom cult is the ability to laugh at the decades’ worth of failed, yet quite specific predictions of disaster from purported “experts” that the media has gleefully trumpeted. The track record of the failure of previous predictions matters not in the least, as if mass amnesia has infected not just the media, but government, academia, and the corporate world.
Yet, all of these commanding heights of our political economy are united in pushing forward with ruinously expensive schemes that cannot work
Do you believe in cautionary tales or think most things happen without warning? (snip) Recently publicized topics should set your spidey senses twitching:
Silicon Valley Bank suffers an abrupt collapse.
Joe Biden resurrects the all-but-dead Willow Creek Oil project.
Biden’s Energy Secretary praises China’s work on climate change.
The president delivers his vision for his FY 2024 budget, with a $6.9 trillion price tag.
40,000 hours of security footage inside the Capitol on January 6th are released to the public, initially through Tucker Carlson.
All of these bullets connect — ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) ideology permeates everything, and it will cost us all.
Love him or hate him, Tucker Carlson has become the most important political analyst of our era. (snip) Last night, he began his top-rated hour-long program with the following startling statement:
“You’re going to get a hot war with Russia – and China – whether you want one or not.”
He followed with analysis of the Black Sea drone incident and the calls for retaliation and escalation from Lindsey Graham and “his friends in the war party” that would likely lead to outright war. And wartime, he noted at the end of the segment, leads to extraordinary suppression of political dissent.
We are all familiar with the fact that members of Congress are constitutionally immune from prosecution over what they say during the time they are debating in the House or Senate (snip) the Supreme Court ruled in Brady v. Maryland and its successor cases that a prosecutor has an affirmative duty to disclose all evidence (snip) let us suppose that the prosecutors did not see all that video (snip) We can’t punish the J6 Committee members for their lies from the dais, but they did something far worse. They concealed the evidence by refusing to let anyone but their chosen allies see it.
Until a few months ago, Rep. Maxine Waters, (D-CA) was the chair of the House Financial Services Committee, and currently is the ranking member (snip) One would think that any sentient consumer of information – both from media and from Congressional sources – would understand the difference between silicon and silicone. (snip) Silicone... is a manmade... polymer, useful in many applications, including caulk and boob-enhancement, but is useless for manufacturing semiconductors.

The Looming Reckoning for COVID Tyrants
15 replies
Many of the tyrants who promoted the COVID madness have been begging for amnesty for some time, and we should only expect that their numbers will grow as more evidence surfaces.
But we should make no mistake -- there needs to be a reckoning in the West when it comes to COVID.
I used to wonder as a child how extreme fanaticism, such as Nazism, could gain footing among any educated population. I am now convinced that the internationally coordinated propaganda campaign around COVID that we all recently witnessed for nearly three years makes the Nazis look like amateurs.
On the left, they're claiming President Trump triggered the meltdown of Silicon Valley Bank on Friday through signing off on deregulation. On the right, they're saying it was wokester priorities that drove the bank bust. (snip) They put out truly ignorant wokester statements calling non-green projects a matter of "systemic risk" in their "sustainable finance statement" (snip) It's remarkably similar to what Janet Yellen mouthed in her nutty wokester logic about climate change being the biggest threat to the banking system (snip) But with all those green concerns, they never did got around to appointing an actual head of risk assessment
My hat is off to Mark Levin for his opening statement in Sunday’s edition of Life, Liberty and Levin. (snip) Mark exposed, with video excerpts, the appalling Jew-hatred visible in Louis Farrakhan’s February 26 “Savior’s Day” rally in Chicago. The media has almost completely ignored the rally, which is itself a scandal. This is a rally that Ticketmaster had no scruples, no second thoughts, about enabling (and profiting off) by selling tickets for it online. In the rally, the phrase “The synagogue of Satan” was repeatedly invoked to characterize the entire Jewish community. (snip) Farrakhan’s rhetoric went beyond hate in the direction of incitement.

After attempting to navigate through the politics in order to curry favor with the base Republican voters on a Ukraine position, when confronted by Piers Morgan who is a pro-NATO war voice, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis now says his former position on Ukraine has been “mischaracterized” and Vladimir Putin “is a war criminal.” The walk back highlights once again that Ron DeSantis is an empty vessel using poll testing to formulate his policy stances. (snip) If the professional Republicans are NOT targeting a Republican politician, you can be assured that Republican politician is a member of the GOPe club operation.
A trans flight attendant who fronted a United Airlines campaign about trans awareness has taken her own life after sharing a heartbreaking post to social media with the message 'I am so sorry'. Tributes have been paid to Kayleigh Scott, 25, after she was found dead at her home in Denver, Colorado, on Monday. Kayleigh appeared in a United commercial in 2020 to celebrate Transgender Visibility Day, which falls on March 31.

Shows They Know ‘American Leadership’
‘Is Back’ 29 replies
During an interview with Bloomberg on Thursday, John Kirby argued that Xi Jinping’s visit to Moscow to meet with Vladimir Putin is “a manifestation of how much China and Russia know that American leadership on the world stage is back” and that there is “a marriage of convenience, certainly not one of affection” between the two.
Kirby said, “I think, first of all, calling this an alliance is a bit of a stretch. I refer to it as a marriage of convenience, certainly not one of affection. President Xi sees in President Putin a useful foil and a counterweight to American influence, particularly in Europe.
Oil companies have come under increasing legal scrutiny and face allegations of defrauding investors, racketeering, and a wave of other lawsuits. But a new paper argues there’s another way to hold big oil accountable for climate damage: trying companies for homicide.
The striking and seemingly radical legal theory is laid out in a paper accepted for publication in the Harvard Environmental Law Review. In it, the authors argue fossil fuel companies “have not simply been lying to the public, they have been killing members of the public at an accelerating rate, and prosecutors should bring that crime to the public’s attention”.
A team of election experts in New Mexico uncovered an election system that is being used in that state and multiple other states that do not comply with election laws.
Election experts in New Mexico established that the post-election canvass reports in all 33 New Mexico Counties are being illegally prepared. Complete election records are being uploaded to an uncertified, centralized software under the control of the Secretary of State (SOS) called SERVIS, which is then used to create the official election results.
Use of any uncertified software for this part of the election process is a violation of federal and state law.

'rising to the occasion,' VP scared of
'messing up': report 25 replies
President Joe Biden is reportedly frustrated at Vice President Kamala Harris for not "rising to the occasion" as his second-in-command, according to a recent report from Reuters.
The bombshell story from Reuters included comments from high-ranking officials in the Biden administration who revealed some of president's candid opinions about Harris.
"If he did not think she was capable, he would not have picked her," one former Biden official told Reuters.
"But it is a question of consistently rising to the occasion," the official said.
Political correctness and woke virtues are like neatly-laid pavers, creating a path that can only lead to tragedy and death; news broke today that a young man named Kyle, who was obviously suffering tremendously from debilitating mental illness, has killed himself.
But Kyle’s heartbreaking story has some rather concerning and extenuating circumstances:
Kyle had abandoned his birth name and instead, was living as Kayleigh Scott…he was “transgender.”
More than that though, Kyle was a poster child for the “trans” movement and corporate “inclusion” policies like DIE. In 2020 United Airlines celebrated “Kayleigh” in a woke public relations campaign video:

Argues Red States Have Created a 'Public

President Joe Biden’s Pentagon is arguing for gender-affirming care for minors as young as seven years old who belong to military families.
In a March edition of the American Journal of Public Health, Department of Defense providers expressed their support for children to be put on hormone blockers and sex change surgeries despite the dangers of its long-term effects, both mentally and physically. “Affirming care has only recently become politicized; protection of gender-affirming medical care for military-affiliated [transgender] youths may require a declarative position without tolerance for personal biases,
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis toughened his stance on Russian President Vladimir Putin, calling Putin a “war criminal” who should be “held accountable” for the invasion of Ukraine, just days after he claimed the Ukraine war is not a “vital national interest.”
DeSantis angered Republican hawks, Never Trumpers, and neocons less than two weeks ago when he characterized the Ukraine-Russia conflict as a “territorial dispute” that is not a “vital” U.S. interests.
DeSantis told Fox News’s Tucker Carlson:
While the U.S. has many vital national interests — securing our border, addressing the crisis of readiness within our military, achieving energy security and independence, checking the economic, cultural, and military power of the Chinese
Recruitment in our newly woke military is down across every division and the leaders of our armed forces don’t know why or are pretending not to know why.
The reasons are obvious to millions of average of Americans, some who served and even those who did not.
The people who would normally enlist have been demonized by the woke left which the military now celebrates. The COVID vaccine mandates are also playing a role.
The Chevrolet Camaro, for decades the dream car of many teenage American males, is going out of production.
General Motors, which sells the brawny muscle car, said Wednesday it will stop making the current generation early next year.
The future of the car, which is raced on NASCAR and other circuits, is a bit murky. GM says another generation may be in the works.'While we are not announcing an immediate successor today, rest assured, this is not the end of Camaro's story,'
Joe and Jill Biden on Thursday traveled to Ottawa, Canada to participate in a greet with Mary Simon, the Governor General of Canada and her husband, Whit Fraser.
Dr. Jill opened her big fat mouth in the beginning of the meeting and mumbled something stupid about global warming.
“Well, it’s been really warm because of global warming in the United States,” Dr. Jill said.
On the West Coast — a great deal of rain and a lot of forest fires — we’ve had a tough year due to global warming,” Joe Biden said.
Brilliant.
