Biden Administration Declares War on Plastic
Silverware as Green Obsession Goes Too Far

Original Article

In recent years, signs that Satan’s minions rule the temporal world have proven impossible to ignore. After all, if the prince of darkness had decided to troll us all for his own diabolical amusement, then surely he would have done exactly what the administration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris has done. On July 19, amid global calamities on a scale unseen since World War II, the Biden-Harris administration announced a plan to eliminate the deadly scourge of plastic silverware. “Communities across the United States and around the world are facing a plastic pollution crisis,” a White House statement began. It only got worse from there.

So, am I supposed to eat Wendy’s sour creme and chive baked potatoes with my fingers? And straws, that libs also want to ban, don’t work with Frostys. When liberals don’t do serious damage to national security and our quality of life, they are notably irrelevant.

What about all the single use medical devices? Shouldn't we ban them too? Things like bandages, IV bags, catheters, syringes, gloves, thermometer covers, trash bags, and thousands of other products. The answer is, of course not and the same answer for plastic food related items. There is no area of peoples' lives that the elite and bureaucrats do not want to control. See Jerry Pournelle's Iron Law.

I know why they are this way, but if Biden wants to see a lot of leftover waste, he should try an MRE. First off, he'll need help getting into the bag. Then, once the food is removed (and possibly eaten), it is impossible to get all the leftover non-food back in the bag it came out of. And then there is the MRE heater. Like the Supreme Court reformation thing, I think this is just something else to distract Decrepit Joe until his clock runs out on him. I bet he feels like a REAL President now.

They already reached peak idiocy when they did away with plastic straws in paper wrappers and mandated paper straws in plastic wrappers. Now they're just doubling down on stupid and there's no bottom in sight.

Often have food delivered to my house. There is usually a box to be checked or unchecked if you want eating utensils included. I always check no because I prefer metal forks at my house to plastic. And they always include a plastic bag with plastic forks, spoons, and knives. Haven't used a straw since grade school. Also there no way plastic should be labeled silverware.

Let's review the situation here in the U.S.: economy tanking, war brewing in the Middle East, unregulated immigration across our Southern Border, racial discord everywhere, weakening of (woke) military . . . . So let's pursue the "NUMBER 1" priority of this "Administration": getting rid of plasticware!!

If you want to see real plastic pollution go to someplace like Mexico and the Tijuana River that flows into San Diego and the Pacific, its loaded with all types of plastic as well as more sewage than water. Banning forks here will make zero difference.

Federal debt of 35 trillion. Not a problem. Total US debt of 101 trillion. Not a problem. Plastic utensils. Omg! What a TERRIBLE PROBLEM! Btw, those debt numbers have gone up. This does not end well. It will have to be addressed. First step is stopping all of the out of control spending. Ending Obama era policies and removing from power the people that implement them is the first step.

"We may be entering an era that is more feudal in its economic and social structure." —Joel Kotkin, "The Coming of Neo-Feudalism" Germany’s leading car parts supplier ZF has recently been forced to cut one-fifth to one-quarter of its workforce, owing in part to Chinese competition and in part to “weak demand for electric vehicles.” Other firms like Bosch, Continental, and Webasto have also been forced to “restructure.” Yet the CEOs of these companies continue absurdly to believe in the future of “electromobility,” since the European Union plans to outlaw fossil fuel-powered vehicles as of 2035.

The New Yorker set out to write a total, ruinous take-down of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Tuesday to force the nephew of Camelot to bow down to commie Kamalot. RFK Jr. took the story, utterly destroyed and exquisitely mocked it, and hilariously commanded his own story—a scoop— that the magazine had hoped would horrify voters but instead made me laugh harder than I have in years. RFK Jr. put his own story out on X, taunting The New Yorker, "Looking forward to seeing how you spin this, @NewYorker." Kennedy obviously got a head's up the story was coming and decided he'd get in front of it, scooping the magazine.

For a mind-boggling ninth time, 24-year-old Swede Mondo Duplantis has broken his own pole vault world record. At the end of Monday evening's track and field session at Stade de France, Duplantis cleared a new world-record height of 6.25 meters, topping the mark of 6.24m he set in April. That record-breaking leap served as the dessert, coming nearly a half hour after winning his second consecutive Olympic gold medal. "The biggest dream since I was a kid was to break the world record at the Olympics," Duplantis said. "I’ve been able to do it in front of the most ridiculous crowd I’ve ever competed in front of."

At Least 32 people were killed and 60 others were wounded late Friday when a suicide bomber detonated explosives outside a hotel in Mogadishu, Somalia, setting off a four-hour siege by gunmen, The New York Times reported. The radical Islamist militant group Al Shabab claimed responsibility for the attack, which started in the Lido Beach area, according to The New York Times. The terrorist organization has been locked in an insurgency against Somalia’s government for almost two decades, according to the outlet. “We heard a loud explosion followed by gunfire,” Mohamed Jibril, a witness who was reportedly out with friends in the vicinity during the attack, told the outlet.

The liberal media wants to make Donald Trump’s comments about Kamala Harris’ race a significant point as we enter the final months of the 2024 election. It’s a tacit acknowledgment that the Democratic Party is underwater with groups that usually vote overwhelmingly for them in elections. They need something to jolt the base—and this subject matter could do it. That’s why I’m admittedly nervous: personal attacks on Kamala do nothing but energize liberals. Trump said that Kamala carried herself as Indian before becoming black after her national profile increased at last

TAMPA, Fla. — The driver of an 18-wheeler found half submerged early Monday morning in the Tampa Bypass Canal after losing control on Interstate 75 has been found dead, authorities confirmed. Hillsborough County Fire Rescue crews responded to a call at 2:35 a.m. and located the truck teetering on the guardrail with the cab still out of the water, according to a news release. The driver of the truck was traveling southbound near mile 263 before going off the road. Fifteen minutes into the incident, the front cab became submerged in the water.

Democrats have a problem. Despite shoving Joe Biden to the side in terms of the election, they still have to deal with him continuing to make awkward remarks and do weird things while occupying the Oval Office as he continues to deteriorate. Most Americans think it's a great thing that the Hamas terrorist leader Ismail Haniyeh was taken out. As we reported, he was living in luxury in Qatar but was done in by an explosive device placed in a guest house room in Tehran months ago and remotely detonated when he visited Iran. While no one has yet claimed responsibility for ridding the world of this maniac,

This is a subject that we previewed at length here yesterday. Unfortunately, the fight was allowed to proceed and Imane Khelif was matched up against female Italian boxer Angela Carini. As predicted by many, including yours truly, the fight didn't even last one minute into the first round. The referee declared a technical knockout after 46 seconds. Kheif came out and hit Carini so hard that her headgear was dislodged by the first blow.

So now it's the Federal Reserve that's going to either taint the November election or tank the economy.

Never mind that high rates are what's keeping inflation in check and that we've been told for three years that Bidenomics has delivered an economy so strong that it kicks sand in the face of 7% mortgages and 9% car loans.

Khelif advanced to the quarterfinals of the women's 66kg category after unloading two strong punches on Angela Carini, who shrugged off attempts by the Algerian to shake her hand and collapsed to her knees in floods of tears. An Italian coach said Carini had suffered a badly hurt nose and the official decision was listed as an abandonment.

The good news for the Trump campaign is that the sure Democratic nominee Kamala Harris is a lifelong California hard leftist at a time when the state is emblematic of progressive nihilism. Her extremist advocacies as a San Francisco county and city attorney, state Attorney General, and senator are on record. And they are consistent with what has virtually destroyed the state. [Snip] However, the bad news for Trump is that there are only roughly 90 days left to expose Harris’s extremist record. And like cognitively challenged Joe Biden in 2020, her handlers will not allow her to speak extemporaneously or to give interviews to real journalists.

Moments earlier, Harris had tried to wait out the ruckus, saying with a more patient tone, “I’m here because we believe in democracy. Everyone’s voice matters, but I am speaking now.”

Kamala Harris has selected Tim Walz as her running mate for the upcoming election. This decision raises serious concerns about national security and the integrity of American values, given Walz’s radical policies and extensive ties to Communist China. Senior reporter Paul Sperry from RealClear Investigations recently uncovered a disturbing pattern in Walz’s relationship with China. According to investigative journalist Paul Sperry on X, Walz traveled to China annually from 1996 until at least 2003. His travels were not merely for tourism; he was granted a special work visa by the Chinese government, which raises questions about his loyalties and motivations.

There’s a good reason I wrote about the media’s prostitutes a few years ago, actually, seven years ago, with a preface that apologized to legitimate prostitutes who made an honest living. What I reported then was based on the formidable work of ace journalist Ashley Lutz, who scrupulously documented her findings in a Business Insider report.

Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign escalated its stolen valor scandal Thursday by scrubbing its reference to vice-presidential nominee Gov. Tim Walz’s (D-MN) rank. The campaign altered its official website’s biography of Walz, removing its reference to him as a “retired command sergeant major” to instead note he once served at the command sergeant major rank, Politico reported.The shocking decision escalates the scandal from denial to damage control for the reeling campaign. As Breitbart’s Kristina Wong reported, “[Walz] has claimed that he is a retired command sergeant major, but his rank was reduced to master sergeant since he did not finish the requirements to retire as a command sergeant major.
