The African slavery behind
the leftists’ green dreams
Posted By: Magnante, 5/26/2021 8:44:27 AM
One of Joe Biden’s initiatives is to get Americans into electric cars. In his first week in the White House, he announced that he wants every car that the federal government owns to be electric. (snip) What Biden and other Green Deal proponents are ignoring is that the lithium that is an essential ingredient in electric car batteries comes from slave labor in Africa. (snip) slavery’s not the only problem with the materials. Creating lithium batteries destroys not only children but also the environment. Additionally, used batteries are a major environmental hazard.

Something is deeply wrong with the mind of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Toni Williams, writing at Victory Girls, has her number:
AOC has proven to be emotionally fragile and uses that fragility as a politically manipulative tactic. Who could ever forget her fake crying in an empty parking lot when she was trying to drag President Donald Trump for putting kids in cages at the border? (snip) Now, she is claiming that the trauma she experienced because someone was banging on her office door has her in therapy. And she has the unbelievable gall to liken what she and other members of Congress experienced that day to having effectively “served in war.”
Amazon Agitprop and American Ambivalence
4 replies
Amazon recently released a docuseries by none other than Borat Sagdivev. Of course, Borat is a fictional character, one of many played by English actor Sacha Baron Cohen. The agitprop pushed by Cohen -- his comedic specialty -- offers an ivory tower glimpse of how cultural elites view average Americans. The latest “documentary” -- yes, that term is used loosely here -- is another example of narrative-driven infotainment that remains questionable at best. (snip) The insidious premise of each Borat production is that unadulterated pride in America is dangerous and wrongheaded. Of course, it takes an Englishman to tell Americans how “wrong” they are in their patriotism.
Through the presidential campaign, Joe Biden was clear: His son Hunter’s affairs in Ukraine were his own business and Biden had nothing to do with them. Like Sergeant Schultz, he knew nothing. Even when one of Hunter’s old partners, Tony Bobulinski, said that Biden was absolutely involved in Hunter’s China business affairs, Biden continued to deny involvement. However, emails from Hunter’s abandoned computer show that, while Biden was vice president, he met the whole Russian and Ukraine cabal for dinner. (snip) series of emails from Hunter Biden’s ever-helpful laptop show Hunter arranging an April 15, 2015 dinner
Twitter may have devolved into a left-wing propaganda organ, but it still has value as a medium for leftists to discredit themselves with hasty expression of their real thoughts and feelings. (snip) the speed with which their unfiltered thoughts can be broadcast to the world is dangerous. The latest example comes from the New York Times reporter assigned to cover what may be the hottest story of our era: the Covid virus (snip) "Someday we will stop talking about the lab leak theory and maybe even admit its racist roots. But alas, that day is not here yet."
For decades, Progressives have been making gains in America, and they've been doing it mainly because they were very careful and crafty in how they operated. A leftist will rarely come out and tell you what he is trying to do; leftists are stealthy and devious about their true intentions, disguising their motives with slogans like "for the common good," "paying your fair share," and "leveling the playing field."
They've slunk into nearly every walk of life, disingenuously labeling themselves "liberal" (snip) So why is the left suddenly so brazen in pushing its agenda, after decades of slinking in the shadows and deceiving its voters?
It's spring graduations these days, and out come the illegals, proudly waving the flags of the nations they don't want to be sent back to.
That was the case again in San Diego, where one illegal immigrant, Javier Diego Jacinto, wildly waved the Mexican flag at his graduation from San Diego State University, touting his status as a DACA recipient, and gave interviews for the television cameras. He's not the first (snip) Which is pretty much the height of ingratitude. Who teaches a kid like that to go wave the Mexican flag instead of the American one after graduating at taxpayer expense from a U.S. university?
The Biden administration wants to force taxpayers to continue to pay for ugly, unpopular federal buildings and is resorting to possibly illegal demands for resignations-or-be-fired from a federal advisory board more than a century old.
In February, Biden scrapped Trump’s executive order, “Promoting Beautiful Federal Civic Architecture” that
…harshly criticized modern architectural styles and instead lauded Roman-Greco-inspired buildings. (snip) Yesterday, the Biden administration notified 4 Trump-appointed members of the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts that they must resign by the end of the business day or be terminated, despite the fact that there is no provision for firing members who are appointed to 4-year terms.

Pennsylvania Rebukes Tom Wolf
6 replies
On May 18, Pennsylvania held its customarily scheduled municipal primary elections. Following the example of previous municipal primary elections, Keystone State voters were faced with several statewide questions and ballot initiatives. This year, these prompts included a new genre of questions: those related to Gov. Tom Wolf’s emergency powers. (snip) Overall, Keystone State voters rejected Wolf’s heavy-handed gubernatorial emergency powers, which shows their desire to rightfully inject the people and the legislative branch back into the decision-making process when it comes to prolonged (and unnecessary) emergency declarations.
“The white Christians are coming! The white Christians are coming!”
So wails Washington Post columnist Margaret Sullivan on her post-yoga ride up and down K Street, forewarning Washingtonians of the imposition of a new ethno-theocracy taking root in America. (snip) In her column, Sullivan celebrates the naming of the first female editor-in-chief to the imperial city daily: Sally Buzbee. The article is titled, “The Washington Post will soon have a woman as its top editor. And yes, that matters” -- “matters” being the lazy catchall verb journalists use to justify whatever bilge they’re batting out.
Buck Throckmorton over at Ace of Spades has an expert rant, decrying the incredible racism and white supremacy of the word 'Latinx,' courtesy of the Democrats.
He begins:
Question: Who uses the term “Latinx”?
Answer: White, left-wing English speakers.
Question: Who doesn’t use the term “Latinx”?
Answer: Latinos and Latinas.
Per a Pew Research Poll conducted in December 2019, only 3% of Hispanics use the term “Latinx.” Three percent! You are more likely to find a Whole Foods customer wearing a MAGA hat than you are to find an Hispanic who identifies as Latinx.
Twenty-one-year-old Lucas Gerhard was arrested almost two years ago in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, for sending an obvious joke to friends via a private Snapchat. Since then, he spent 83 days in jail, before being transferred to house arrest, where he is unable to go to school, leave the house, or use the internet. And this is all because he made a private joke about his legal AR-15. This is a heinous assault on both his First and Second Amendment rights. Moreover, it takes place against a backdrop of leftist prosecutors and governors across America bending over backward to release violent criminals.

Former House Speaker Paul Ryan plans to condemn the populist appeal of former President Donald Trump during a Thursday evening speech at the Reagan library.“If the conservative cause depends on the populist appeal of one personality, or on second-rate imitations, then we’re not going anywhere,” Ryan plans to say according to speech excerpts released to Punchbowl News.To win back the majority in Congress, Ryan will predict, Republicans need to focus on “conservative principles” and be agreeable.
“We win majorities by directing our loyalty and respect to voters, and by staying faithful to the conservative principles that unite us,” he plans to say.
Along with its ongoing ethical problems, a deceptive marketing campaign, and a continued hatred for non-liberal voices, it’s been a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad year for the Jeffrey Zucker-led CNN. And as per the latest Nielsen ratings, CNN has continued to hemorrhage viewers with primetime and entire day total viewership down over 70 percent since January.
Nielsen Media Research has the breakdown and it’s not pretty, no matter how the Zucker Borg would spin it. Since a January high of roughly 798,000 primetime viewers and 530,000 total day viewers in the 25-54 demographic, CNN has fallen off a cliff and into the pit of misery
This week, we're marking the one-year anniversary of the murder of George Floyd. His death at the hands of Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin—who has been convicted of two counts of murder and one of manslaughter—sparked a national conversation about racism in America. It's a conversation that's long overdue, that activists like us have been waiting for for too long. (Snip) Rather than exposing our struggle, it dilutes and erases it behind a broader and inaccurate class of victims. It's no wonder that the phrases "people of color" or even BIPOC in this context aggravates many Black people CORRECTION*

Fail a Basic Mental Competency Test’ —
They Think Trump Won 36 replies
MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell, on Tuesday’s “The Last Word,” said that 53% of Republicans failed “a basic mental competency test question,” which is who is the president of the United States” because they think Donald Trump won the 2020 election.Discussing new Texas election legislation, Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX) said, “It’s very much a naked power grab. Also, if you look at the leadership in Texas, Lawrence, it very much is out of sync with the population of Texas. Texas is an incredibly diverse state, and the Republican leadership in Texas is not. It’s very sad to say, but I think it’s true that it is a lot of Republican White males
An administrator at Brandeis University declared “all White people are racist” and that she “hates Whiteness” in a defense of critical race theory on Saturday. Kate Slater, an assistant dean of graduate student affairs at the private Massachusetts university and a self-described “White anti-racist educator,” faced criticism on social media after she posted a message on Instagram defending critical race theory, which teaches that America’s institutions are inherently racist.(Snip) “Yes, all White people are racist in that all White people have been conditioned in a society where one’s racial identity determines life experiences/outcomes and Whiteness is the norm and the default.
Hillary and Bill Clinton were spotted having dinner with friends on Manhattan's Upper East Side Tuesday evening. Exclusive DailyMail.com photos show the presidential pair arriving separately with a Secret Service detail to posh uptown restaurant Fleming by Le Bilboquet. But Hillary, sipping her favorite white wine, looked glum as her ever-engaging husband was deep in conversation with Sting's wife Trudie Styler, who at one point rested her head on Bill's shoulder for a group selfie. Bill was dressed in a blue suit with a checkered button-down shirt—no tie—while Hillary wore a three-quarter-length striped wool coat as she drank her wine.
Yesterday, Peter Doocy asked Jen Psaki why President Biden wasn’t pressing for more information on the Wuhan lab leak theory. “We have repeatedly called for the WHO to support an expert-driven evaluation of the pandemic’s origins,” Psaki replied. That answer was very troubling, I observed in our story on Psaki’s response. Is there an American investigation still ongoing into the question from the Biden team, I asked? Because it doesn’t sound like it, from what Psaki was saying — and because we surely can’t trust anything that WHO concludes on the matter, given their prior actions.
Turns out that was a good question to ask. Because now there are reports
George Floyd's family have raised their fists on the lawn of the White House after meeting with President Joe Biden to discuss police reform on the first anniversary of his death.Biden welcomed the Floyds into the Oval Office, describing them as 'courageous,' including George's six-year-old daughter Gianna who was seen eating ice cream outside after the meeting.'I got a chance to spend a lot of time with Gianna and the family, and we just talked about – you know, it’s the one-year anniversary,' Biden told reporters as he left the White House for a brief trip to Wilmington. Also in attendance was Grammy-nominated rapper Lil Baby
Ford Motor Co (F.N) on Wednesday outlined plans to boost spending on its electrification efforts by more than a third and said it aims to have 40% of its global volume be all electric by 2030 in a move to have investors value it more like a technology company. Under a plan dubbed "Ford+," the No. 2 U.S. automaker said it now expects to spend more than $30 billion on electrification, including battery development, by 2030, up from its prior target of $22 billion. It has launched the all-electric Mustang Mach-E crossover, and plans to introduce electric versions of the
Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), the embattled former Republican conference chair, during an interview Wednesday with the Wall Street Journal’s “Women, Power and Equity” event, said she sees her “re-election bid as a referendum on the future of the Republican Party.”
The Wyoming Republican said voters are “potentially facing a choice between what she sees as traditional conservative values and loyalty to former President Donald Trump.” She said she already sees the upcoming 2022 midterm election as being a difficult one for her.
Cheney was ousted by her party from leadership earlier this month for having repeatedly criticized former President Donald Trump for his past statements on the 2020 election.
The Republican Governors Association on Tuesday threw out Mike Lindell, the CEO of MyPillow and a top Trump ally, after he showed up to its spring conference in Tennessee, he told POLITICO in an interview.
Lindell said he had flown to Nashville on Monday to attend the three-day meeting starting on Tuesday, but that only a few minutes after he collected his credential at the JW Marriott Hotel, an event coordinator in the lobby told him he was not allowed at any of the official RGA events.
