The Climate Hoax
7 replies
When will America realize that climate change is a hoax?
By “climate change,” I mean the idea of an overwhelmingly anthropogenic and sudden rise in the Earth’s temperature to catastrophic levels. I have not seen convincing proof of climate change in this sense.
I have lived for almost 80 years, and I have not witnessed any perceptible change. The summers are hot, as they were when I was a child. The winters are cold, much too cold for my taste, just as they were when I was out sledding, building snow forts, and throwing snowballs at my friends.
Environmentalism, the Great Destroyer

The lights are going out all over Europe, we shall not see them lit again in our lifetime. Energy costs are de-industrializing one former economic power after another. This Telegraph article is mostly about the U.K.:
Sir Jim Ratcliffe has warned that Britain’s multibillion-pound chemicals industry is facing “extinction” because of soaring energy costs and the shift to net zero.

Sir Jim, the co-owner of Manchester United and one of Britain’s richest men, said: “De-industrialising Britain achieves nothing for the environment. It merely shifts production and emissions elsewhere.
Largely to China, which I believe now emits more CO2 than the U.S., the E.U. and India, combined.

Rubin Resigns From Washington Post, Blasts

Jennifer Rubin, the never-Trump columnist at the Washington Post, has announced that she is leaving the paper and blasted WaPo owner Jeff Bezos on her way out the door. The now-struggling paper has just gone through a round of layoffs.
Rubin recently took a shot at the paper while also trashing Trump and Trump supporters during one of her typically unhinged rants.
Rubin is joining a new anti-Trump outlet called the Contrarian, which I imagine will occupy the same space as anti-Trump outlets like the Dispatch and the Bulwark.

A suspect seen starting fires with a blow torch in a Los Angeles neighborhood Thursday afternoon is not being charged with arson because a police investigation found “no probable cause.” The man is still being detained on a felony probation violation amid the ongoing investigation, Los Angeles Police Department Assistant Chief Dominic Choi said in a press conference Friday.
The arrest comes amid growing speculation that at least some of the LA fires were started by arsonists.
The suspect was arrested Thursday night on suspicion of arson near the Kenneth fire, a wildfire that started at about 2:30, Thursday afternoon. The suspect, believed to be a homeless man, had reportedly been
Biden's Legacy
11 replies
Reading serious reference to President Biden’s “legacy” as though it is anything but an unprecedented catastrophe presents a challenge to my progress in anger management. Joe Biden — this is the guy who opened our borders and invited the world to “come on down,” like someone trying to find his calling as a game show host. This is the guy who deployed the forces of the Department of Justice to incapacitate his foremost political opponent. This is the guy who never said a true word about the corrupt family business and enlisted the former denizens of the deep state to disparage evidence of his corruption as Russian disinformation —
Former Trump attorney Michael Cohen is demanding President Biden pardon him like he pardoned his son Hunter before President-elect Donald Trump can take office.
Cohen discussed his efforts to reach out to the Biden administration for a pardon on MSNBC’s "The Weekend" Saturday morning. He claimed that not giving him a presidential pardon would continue to allow him "to be in danger" of a Trump prosecution.
Cohen argued Biden has an obligation to protect him and other critics from Trump, like he protected his son Hunter. "Yeah, I put in the application for a presidential pardon because I believe that Joe Biden has the same responsibility to me that he had
A DEI Green New Deal Hydrogen Bomb

That’s how Victor David Hanson describes this week’s catastrophic wildfires in California.
“It was a total systems collapse from the idea of not spending money on irrigation, storage, water, fire prevention and forest management, a viable insurance industry, a DEI hierarchy, you put it all together and it's something like a DEI Green New Deal hydrogen bomb… Gavin Newsom was fiddling, he's almost Nero Newsom. And this has been something that is just unimaginable… The systems breakdown. And to finish, what we're seeing in California is a state with 40 million people. And yet the people who run it feel that it should return to a 19th century pastoral
I was surprised, if not shocked, when two A-list celebrities, country singers Garth Brooks and his wife Trisha Yearwood, took the microphones at the State Funeral for Jimmy Carter yesterday and began performing “Imagine,” written by former Beatle John Lennon in 1971. The song is widely described as an “atheistic anthem” and incredibly is said to be one of the late 39th president’s favorite songs. "Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try.
No hell below us
Above us, only sky. . .
Imagine all the people
Livin’ for today
Ah
Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too"
To me, it sounds like a globalist woke anthem
Ten days until Joe Biden is finally out the door and we no longer have to deal with him anymore.
On Friday, he truly was on a bizarre tear. As we reported earlier, he had a call with California Gov. Gavin Newsom where he denied there was any problem with the fire hydrants. Newsom told him they had to do something about "misinformation" on the fires. "Misinformation" -- as in, how dare anyone call out Newsom's failures?
But Biden wasn't done yet with the crazy. He took some questions after making remarks about the economy. That's when he seemed to get confused. He said he stepped aside to unify the party.

To Have His House Burn Down For Trump Support 31 replies
In tears, actor James Woods detailed the moment he learned his Pacific Palisades home burned in the Southern California fires that continue to devastate parts of Los Angeles in an interview with CNN Wednesday morning.
"One day you’re swimming in the pool and the next day it’s all gone," Woods told anchor Pamela Brown on Wednesday while repeatedly choking up. Woods then recounted his evacuation and how he helped rescue his 94-year-old neighbor, who has dementia.
"He’d been left alone," Woods added. "There was so much chaos, it was like an inferno. Every house was on fire around us." (X) Keith Olbermann is glad. But not because Woods saved an elderly man

As everyone knows, one of the Democrats' main guiding principles is Rahm Emanuel's infamous line, "Never let a crisis go to waste." The Dems' overwhelming Number One guiding principle, however, is, "Never let a crisis go without reminding everyone that you're a loathsome human being."
The Climate Church dullards are an international embarrassment whose only real skill is the ability to move goal posts in order to help them sell their latest load of ideological horse dung. It is a movement devoid of any intellectual rigor because they constantly just make up the rules as they go. Whenever it is pointed out that they were wrong about something,

Trump’s inauguration after skipping
Jimmy Carter’s funeral 49 replies
Former first lady Michelle Obama is set to snub President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration next Monday after skipping former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral last week — where she would have sat next to the one and future commander-in-chief.
“Former President Barack Obama is confirmed to attend the 60th Inaugural Ceremonies. Former first lady Michelle Obama will not attend the upcoming inauguration,” the Office of Barack and Michelle Obama said in a statement to the Associated Press.
The former first lady’s team did not provide a reason for skipping the inauguration, but Michelle Obama, 60, has been an impassioned critic of Trump, 78, over the past eight years.
In the wake of the devastating wildfires that have ravaged Los Angeles County, Governor Gavin Newsom has unveiled an ambitious initiative dubbed the “Reimagining LA 2.0” to reconstruct the city. This plan, which he refers to as “reimagining LA 2.0,” aims to rebuild the city with a focus on modernization and resilience, particularly in anticipation of the 2028 Olympics and the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Star Wars star Mark Hamill is wondering how many of his fans plan to boycott watching any part of the coverage of President-elect Donald Trump’s upcoming inauguration ceremony, weeks before the historic event.
The rabidly left-wing Luke Skywalker star jumped to his BlueSky account once again to gin up hatred for Donald Trump and Republicans with a post reading, “Who else is really looking forward to not watching the Inauguration?” The post also had a meme reading, “I will not be watching the sad mockery of someone swearing an oath they have no intention of upholding.”
Special counsel report found Trump engaged

in ‘criminal effort’ to overturn 2020 election 28 replies
WASHINGTON - U.S. Special Counsel Jack Smith concluded that Donald Trump engaged in an "unprecedented criminal effort" to hold on to power after losing the 2020 election, but was thwarted in bringing the case to trial by the president-elect's November election victory, according to a report published on Tuesday.
The report details Smith's decision to bring a four-count indictment against Trump, accusing him of plotting to obstruct the collection and certification of votes following his 2020 defeat by Democratic President Joe Biden. It concludes that the evidence would have been enough to convict Trump at trial, but his imminent return to the presidency, set for Jan. 20, made that impossible.
New York — Veteran opinion columnist Jennifer Rubin is becoming the latest in a long list of Washington Post figures to leave the troubled institution. Rubin is partnering with former White House ethics czar Norm Eisen and launching something new: a startup publication called The Contrarian. The startup’s tagline, “Not owned by anybody,” is a pointed reference to billionaire Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos and other moguls who, in Rubin’s view, have “bent the knee” to President-elect Donald Trump. “Our goal is to combat, with every fiber of our being, the authoritarian threat that we face,” Rubin told CNN in
The Washington Post is dying, like Democracy does in darkness.
Cringe-worthy slogans aside, the Washington Post's downfall is well deserved as the rag has become an ultra-biased outlet that not only proved itself to be an unreliable social narrator but proved that the ideology that it supported is an absolute failure.
So it's not a surprise that over the course of the years, its audience has more or less completely abandoned it, leaving it a shadow of its former self, a Goliath in the news industry.
According to Semafor.com, WaPo has bled out its traffic, and that bleed was heavy. From 2021, it's lost 90 percent of its daily users:
Hamas is expected to release 33 hostages during the first phase of an emerging ceasefire agreement being finalized by negotiators in Doha, two Israeli officials said, the first positive sign in months that a truce in the Israel-Hamas war may be in sight.
Officials have expressed cautious optimism that a deal could soon be announced to halt 15 months of fighting that has destabilized the Middle East and devastated Gaza, allow for more aid into the besieged Palestinian enclave, and ensure the return of dozens of hostages held by Hamas since its attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.
WASHINGTON — Retiring President Biden lifted Cuba’s designation as a state sponsor of terrorism Tuesday, less than a week before leaving office — outraging Republican members of Congress who believe more stringent sanctions should remain in effect.
Biden, 82, made the decision in deference to the Catholic Church’s talks with the island’s Communist authorities on releasing political prisoners, the White House said.
“We view this as an opportune moment to do so, given the important dialogue that is taking place between Cuba and the Catholic Church with respect to political prisoners,” a Biden administration official told reporters.
Sen. Jack Reed (R.I), the top Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, told Pete Hegseth, President-elect Trump’s pick to head the Department of Defense, that he is plainly unqualified and lacks the necessary character to lead the nation’s armed forces.
I do not believe that you are qualified to meet the overwhelming demands of this job. We must acknowledge the concerning public reports against you,” Reed said in a stinging opening statement at Hegseth confirmation hearing, which began at 9:30 a.m. EST Tuesday morning.
Reed said committee members must pay close attention to allegations of sexual misconduct and financial mismanagement against Hegseth in recent years.
Nearly 1,000 people have signed an online petition calling on a cinema in Brooklyn to stop screening a film about the Munich massacre during the 1972 Summer Olympics.
September 5, directed by Tim Fehlbaum, follows the terrorist attack carried out by the Palestinian militant organisation Black September. [SNIP] A petition organised by a group of New York cinema workers is calling on the cinema to stop platforming the film and has amassed more than 1,000 signatures.
The workers describe the film as “Zionist propaganda”, which misrepresents the militants who carried out the massacre as “antisemitic terrorists”.
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris convened Senior White House and Administration officials for a briefing on the federal government’s response to the Los Angeles wildfires.
The Los Angeles fires have killed at least 24 people and destroyed more than 12,000 structures, and the reported estimated damage is around $150 billion.
The damage is largely due to Democrats like Governor Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass after they slashed fire department funding and didn’t fill reservoirs.
On Monday Biden announced his Regime is giving $770 to people impacted by the California wildfires.
