Anti-carbon Dems won’t be happy until
Americans suffer like Europeans

Anti-carbon Democrats don’t learn: They continue to push to close pipelines and power plants while ignoring the dire consequences, now on display across Europe. On Thursday, more than 40 New York officials, including likely next mayor Eric Adams, demanded Gov. Kathy Hochul nix permits for a natural-gas plant to replace two in Brooklyn. The facility would “undermine” New York’s “aggressive renewable energy goals,” their letter says. “Aggressive”? What an understatement: A 2019 law calls for 70 percent of renewable power by 2030, a goal that could cripple the state. And it came amid a years-long crusade by ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo to oppose gas pipelines,

Election Fraud Is Alive and Well in 2021
8 replies
According to the Democratic Party, the corporate media, and some ostensibly nonpartisan think tanks, vote fraud is nonexistent in the United States. Last year, during the post-election controversy caused by the unique vote counting practices adopted by certain swing states, the New York Times summed up the conventional wisdom, “Claims of voter fraud are common. It’s the fraud that’s rare.” It must, therefore, have been vexing for the editors of the Gray Lady to run the following headline last Monday: “Election Workers in Georgia Are Fired for Shredding Voter Registration Forms.” The fired workers had been employed by Fulton County, where questionable election night conduct attracted nationwide attention in 2020.

It is difficult to imagine a worse time for massive increases in taxes and spending, yet that’s exactly what Democrats in Washington, D.C. have in mind. We are all aware that, as Press Secretary Jen Psaki stated this week, President Joe Biden views the COVID-19 pandemic as an opportunity to "make fundamental changes in our economy." But the changes he has in mind are about to drive us over an economic cliff.
Businesses of all sizes are already being buffeted by seemingly intractable supply chain constraints, along with labor shortages, and unusually high consumer demand—all driven by pandemic-lockdown conditions that are only going to cause prices to soar
Most Americans say the country is on the “wrong track” and disapprove of President Joe Biden’s job performance, a Politico/Morning Consult survey released this week found.
Sixty-two percent of voters say the country is headed on the “wrong track,” compared to 38 percent who believe it is on the right track.Those sentiments coincide with negative opinions of President Biden’s job performance, as 51 percent disapprove. Of those, 39 percent “strongly” disapprove of his job as president. Forty-six percent approve of his job as president, and among those, 22 percent “strongly” approve.
The survey also found that most voters (72 percent), are at least somewhat enthusiastic to vote in the 2022 midterm election,
Donald Trump’s 2016 victory was a shock to much of the country, but Silicon Valley took it especially hard. The progressive bastion of San Francisco had turned tech companies from libertarian idealists into liberal crusaders. The industry as a whole felt complicit in Donald Trump’s rise and was intent on doing everything in its power to suppress his voice and those of his supporters.
From the beginning, the tech overlords were plotting how to strike back.
In one meeting, Google founder Sergey Brin suggested that “Jigsaw,” a project Google had developed to combat Islamic terror propaganda, could be used to shape the opinions of Trump voters.
Appearing this weekend on CNN’s State of the Union, Virginia Democratic gubernatorial nominee Terry McAuliffe charged that Republicans have “made up” K-12 disputes over Critical Race Theory (CRT) in order to “divide” voters. McAuliffe said, “This is a made-up — this is a Trump, Betsy DeVos, Glenn Youngkin plan to divide people, and really bothers me.”
In a television interview last week, McAuliffe had previously said of Critical Race Theory, “It’s not taught in Virginia, it’s never been taught in Virginia. And as I’ve said this a lot: It’s a dogwhistle. It’s racial. It’s division.”
I remember quite clearly the first time I explained what COVID was to my young children in early March of 2020. I lay down in one of their beds at bedtime and told them about what it was and how it might affect our lives for the next few weeks or perhaps even the next month or two (oh, how naive I was then!). I reassured them about their safety and ours, and pulled up a chart from China and Italy about the death rates broken down by age. I explained to them the nature of the virus, that it thankfully spared children of their age,

As far as injustices in the world go, the story of a Loudon, Virginia, man who became the poster child for “domestic terrorism” after his daughter was raped is pretty high on the list.
Scott Smith was arrested on June 22 at a school board meeting that was deemed an “unlawful assembly” after attendees voiced opposition to a proposed policy expanding special protections to transgender students. Smith was dragged from the event in handcuffs, his pants falling down, his lip bleeding. He was charged later with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
If questioning the results of a presidential election were a crime, as many have asserted in the wake of the controversial 2020 election and its aftermath, then much of the Democratic Party and media establishment should have been indicted for their behavior following the 2016 election. In fact, the last time Democrats fully accepted the legitimacy of a presidential election they lost was in 1988.
After the 2000 election, which hinged on the results of a recount in Florida, Democrats smeared President George W. Bush as "selected, not elected." When Bush won re-election against then senator John Kerry in 2004, many on the left claimed
Gifted students have to check their privilege and get over themselves.
It doesn’t matter whether they are minorities. It doesn’t matter whether they were brought to the United States as children. It doesn’t matter how poor their families may be. It doesn’t matter if they have inspiring personal stories. It doesn’t matter how hard they work.
No, the very fact that they are getting accommodated in classrooms and programs that don’t necessarily represent the demographic make-up of their school districts at large means that they need to be brought down a notch.
If there were any doubt that “equity” is now the most destructive concept in American life,
Texas Governor Greg Abbott is clamping down all the way. The newest executive order from his office stipulates that vaccine mandates are not allowed anywhere in Texas from both a public and private entity standpoint.It’s indicated this is being done because the Governor believes these vaccination mandates are causing more of a disruption to the state than the pandemic itself at this point."I issued an Executive Order prohibiting vaccine mandates by ANY entity in Texas. I also added the issue to the Special Session agenda. The COVID-19 vaccine is safe, effective, & our best defense against the virus, but should always remain voluntary & never forced."
VA Dems Want Last Minute Voting Rule Change

Virginia’s gubernatorial contest between Republican Glenn Youngkin and Democrat Terry McAuliffe clearly has supporters of the latter worried. Recent polls show a far tighter race than they expected. Consequently, it was all but inevitable that McAuliffe’s allies would attempt to meddle with election laws using public health as a pretext. Sure enough, the Democrat-dominated Fairfax Board of Supervisors has asked Gov. Ralph Northam to waive the witness signature requirement that Virginia law stipulates for all absentee ballots. Board Chairman Jeffrey McKay insists that the waiver is needed due to the threat of COVID-19, yet cases are declining.

Nearly a year has passed since the 2020 election, yet there has not been a clear, satisfactory answer to the central mystery: How did a dull, declining Joe Biden manage to get more than 81 million votes and win the presidency? After all, Biden spent most of the pandemic-laced campaign in his Delaware basement and his appearances were marked by sparse crowds and signs he had lost more than a step. Yet he flipped five states Hillary Clinton lost in 2016, including Georgia and Arizona, and racked up 306 electoral votes to Donald Trump’s 232.

With Democrat Joe Biden appearing much like an addled absentee landlord, Judge Jeanine Pirro is wondering who is actually in control in the White House, and by logical extension, of the entire U.S. federal government.“What are we supposed to conclude when the most powerful man in the free world says that someone will reprimand him if he doesn’t do what they tell him to do?” she asked. “Is someone else in charge?”Pirro then implied that she thinks she might know who is calling the shots on a de facto basis.

National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases head Dr. Anthony Fauci said on this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday” that Americans who think he is a “polarizing figure” were people who denied “reality.”Anchor Chris Wallace asked, “When this pandemic started, it is fair to say you were generally regarded as the authority on infectious disease. As time has gone on, you have become a polarizing figure, and critics accuse you of sending mixed messages. There’s allegations that you helped fund dangerous research at the Wuhan lab. Two questions, why do you think you’ve become so controversial? And honestly, do you think there’s anything you have done

Colin Powell, 84, died from complications due to Covid-19, his family said Monday.
"General Colin L. Powell, former U.S. Secretary of State and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, passed away this morning due to complications from Covid 19," the Powell family said in a statement posted on his official Facebook page.
“He was fully vaccinated,” they added. “We want to thank the medical staff at Walter Reed National Medical Center for their caring treatment. We have lost a remarkable and loving husband, father, grandfather and a great American.”
Powell was a distinguished and trailblazing professional soldier whose career took him from combat duty in Vietnam
The TSA should use its canine teams to keep airport security lines moving if there is a worker shortage amid the federal COVID-19 vaccination mandate, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Sunday.President Biden’s vaccination order for federal workers takes effect three days before Thanksgiving — the busiest time of the year for air travel.“If TSA lags in jabs, send in the dogs,” Schumer said during a press conference in Manhattan, citing recent revelations from the TSA that 40 percent of its employees remain unvaccinated.
Former President Bill Clinton has been released from a Southern California hospital on Sunday after he spent five nights receiving treatment for a urological infection.
Clinton and his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, left the University of California Irvine Medical Center in Orange, just southeast of Los Angeles, as they held each other's arms. The former president shook hands with hospital staff as he departed the facility alongside his wife of 46 years. Just before his release, the former first lady was seen being escorted to the entrance of the facility early on Sunday morning.
Colin Powell, the first black Secretary of State who formulated foreign policy under several presidents, died Monday morning at the age of 84 of complications from COVID. The Pentagon powerhouse who served as a soldier in Vietnam and went on to become Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was fully vaccinated and battling blood cancer and Parkinson's when he passed away at Walter Reed Medical Center in Maryland, according to his family. Retired Four-Star General Powell, who was also suffering from Parkinson's, is survived by his wife of 59 years,
The Art Institute of Chicago fired all of its roughly 100 volunteer museum guides, or docents, in September because too many of them were wealthy, white women. The news of the mass firing has only trickled out slowly, partly because the institute asked docents not to speak to the media, and because the left-leaning Chicago media showed little interest in covering the issue.(Snip)Ironically, the Journal was able to speak to one of the fired docents, who happened to be black, and defied the museum’s request that no one speak directly to the media—perhaps because she had less fear of being accused of racism.
President Joe Biden and his wife Jill enjoyed an Italian seafood dinner at a Michelin-starred Washington DC restaurant on Saturday evening. The Bidens dressed up for what the White House dubbed as a 'date night' at Fiola Mare in Washington Harbor.The couple looked loved up and held hands as they made their way into the restaurant, followed by secret service downed in black suits and black face masks. They had earlier attended church at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Georgetown. The date came on 'Sweetest Day' - a holiday celebrated in the Midwest and Florida to celebrate romantic deeds and expressions.

Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that the supply chain backups at America’s ports were a product of President Joe Biden guiding the economy “out of the teeth of a terrifying recession,” which caused incomes and demand to rise.Anchor Jake Tapper said, “We are seeing supply chain disruption causing everything from higher prices to longer waits for products. Moody’s warns that these supply chain disruptions, quote, ‘will get worse before they get better, ‘ unquote. do Americans need to prepare ourselves for this to get worse before it gets better?”Buttigieg said, “Certainly, a lot of the challenges that we have been experiencing
Chicago is restricting cops from taking time off as the city prepares to ax up to half of its 13,000 officers who are yet to declare their Covid-19 vaccination status. In a memo issued by the city's police department a day after officers were required to disclose their vaccine status, officers were informed elective time off will be restricted, according to WLS.(Snip)City employees in Chicago were required to report their vaccination status by the end of Friday, with those who are not vaccinated to be subject to two tests per week.
