Should I have children? Weighing parenthood
amid the climate crisis
Posted By: Ribicon, 11/13/2021 9:41:36 PM
One evening last summer, I was running through a damp field on my farm in Vermont with my 10-year-old and a passel of dogs. We were barefoot and laughing. Suddenly, my daughter turned to me with a serious look in her eyes. “I didn’t realize things were going to get so bad so soon,” she said. “What things?” I asked. Was she thinking about the heatwave in Vermont, forest fires in California or the pandemic? “Climate change,” she said, staring hard at me. “It’s bad, isn’t it?”(Snip)The Center for Biological Diversity notes on their population growth page: “Under current conditions, a child born in the US

A 13-year-old Seattle boy watched his father who was suffering from cardiac arrest die while waiting more than 20 minutes for help to arrive—in a tragedy that critics say was caused by a shortage of cops and medical personnel staff resulting from the woke mayor's vaccine mandates and defund the police movement. The unidentified boy called 911 earlier this month when his 45-year-old father began struggling to breath in the city’s Crown Hill neighborhood. Firefighters arrived at the scene within 15 minutes, but an outdated note on file mistakenly indicated that the apartment occupant was aggressive, slowing their response as they waited on a police escort.
A taxi driver apparently locked a suicide bomber in his car after spotting explosives before a blast ripped through the vehicle outside a maternity hospital in Liverpool on Sunday. The explosion, reported at 10:59am, came moments before the nation fell silent to mark Remembrance Day and killed the cab passenger and injured the driver, named locally as David Perry. The car passenger, a man, was declared dead at the scene and is yet to be formally identified.(Snip)The incident took place as a remembrance service involving scores of military personnel, veterans and civic dignitaries, was happening at Liverpool's Anglican Cathedral less than a mile away—with more than 2,000 people
White House chief of staff Ron Klain’s itchy Twitter finger helped derail the Biden administration’s latest vaccine mandate in court.
A Sept. 9 retweet from Klain was cited as a key piece of evidence in the blistering ruling issued Friday by the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans, which paused President Biden’s “staggeringly overbroad” rule forcing COVID-19 vaccines on millions of American workers. In a footnote, the three-judge panel pointed to Klain’s retweet of a post from MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle, who praised Biden’s mandate—enforced by the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration—as “the ultimate work-around” to avoid sticky constitutional challenges.
A steel manufacturing company has been ordered to forfeit $6 million —a near-financial death sentence—after admitting it had run a pipeline for “dozens” illegal immigrants from Mexico to come and work for it, undercutting competitors. All Steel Carports Inc. told the court in a sentencing memo that owner Ignacio Chavez, who came to the U.S illegally himself before winning legal residency in 2009, didn’t consider hiring illegal immigrants to be a big deal. “In his culture laws are there but few respect them,” the company’s lawyers wrote. The Biden administration cut him a break, dropping human smuggling and money laundering charges the Trump administration had brought.
Public health experts are concerned that unverified reports to a federal vaccine injury database are being misunderstood by the public and exploited by skeptics in a way that is undermining immunization efforts against COVID-19. The raw data can be startling because the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) contains 299 reports of Minnesotans dying after COVID-19 vaccination, but most of the claims turn out to be coincidences or unrelated to the shots, said Dr. Gregory Poland, director of Mayo Clinic's Vaccine Research Group.(Snip)However, none of these confirmed incidents has tipped the scales against U.S. vaccine recommendations, with the risk of myocarditis being higher
Last Monday, a 17-year-old had guns pointed at his chest and head in a carjacking at 6:30 p.m. in front of his house in south Minneapolis. The assailant ditched his car several blocks away.
Then on Friday, an armed hit-and-run suspect tried to carjack a woman in north Minneapolis as she was heading to the kickoff of the Twin Cities Salvation Army's annual Red Kettle Campaign, capping a week of more than 50 attempted or successful carjackings in the city. Residents in Minneapolis, St. Paul and increasingly some suburban communities are experiencing a record surge in armed carjackings, crimes that are terrorizing victims, baffling police
The newly appointed commander of the Oklahoma National Guard is refusing to enforce the Department of Defense’s coronavirus vaccine mandate for troops. Army Brig. Gen. Thomas Mancino wrote in a memo that no member of the Oklahoma National Guard will be required to get vaccinated, according to The Oklahoman, which obtained the memo.
The memo further states “no negative administrative or legal action will be taken” against guardsmen who refuse to get vaccinated.
Lt. Col. Geoff Legler, a spokesman for the Oklahoma National Guard, told the newspaper that the memo is intended to allow guardsmen to serve in the state without fear of being punished.
Johnson & Johnson, the New Jersey-based pharmaceutical giant, will separate into two publicly traded companies, creating an entirely new, rebranded consumer health business, the company announced Friday. It’s a major change for the 135-year-old institution based in New Brunswick. Johnson & Johnson, which has more than 136,000 employees, will split its consumer products arm—responsible for Band-Aids, Tylenol, Listerine and Neutrogena—from its pharmaceutical and medical device branches within 18 to 24 months, the company said. The decision was first reported by The Wall Street Journal.
“Following a comprehensive review, the Board and management team believe that the planned separation of the Consumer Health business is the best way

The outgoing head of the UK Border Force has triggered a political row by describing ‘bloody borders’ as ‘just such a pain in the bloody a***’. Paul Lincoln’s incendiary remarks–made in a speech to mark his departure as director general of the Border Force – comes amid growing anger among Boris Johnson’s backbenchers over the migrant crisis. Last week, the number of asylum seekers crossing the English Channel in small boats hit a new daily record of 1,185. More than 23,500 have made the crossing from France so far this year, a sharp rise on the 8,404 in 2020.(Snip)Mr Lincoln left his £135,000-a-year post last month
COVID-19 vaccination fraud may be spreading faster than the deadly bug itself among New York City workers, The Post has learned.
At least two city agencies, the FDNY and Sanitation Department, are in the crosshairs of a probe into employees submitting phony proof of the COVID-19 vaccine—in some cases stealing blank vax cards—in order to comply with Mayor Bill de Blasio’s jab mandate, insiders said. At the FDNY, the scheme appears to involve the theft of the blank cards from the agency’s Brooklyn headquarters and other facilities where the department was offering jabs, according to a source.(Snip)“There’s a lot of people in trouble,” said an FDNY
Nashville, Tenn.—Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee signed a wide-reaching bill Friday strictly limiting what governments and businesses can require to address the COVID-19 pandemic, while industry groups push for changes, local officials ask a court what happens to school mask orders, and various entities look into exemptions. The Republican’s signature, which he promised earlier in the week, puts the new law into effect immediately, largely barring governments and businesses from requiring proof of COVID-19 vaccinations, and only letting public entities—including schools—require masks due to COVID-19 in rare, dire public health scenarios.(Snip)Even before the law was enacted, prominent business groups were calling for changes

Reps Liz Cheney (RINO-WY) and Bennie Thompson (D-MS) are seeking criminal charges on Trump’s former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows after he failed to appear before their sham January 6 Committee.
The Marxists on the January 6 Committee issued Meadows a subpoena because he was with Trump on January 6.
Meadows, like Bannon, defied the subpoena and was instructed by Trump to “respect long-standing principles of executive privilege.”
“Mr. Meadows’s actions today—choosing to defy the law—will force the Select Committee to consider pursuing contempt or other proceedings to enforce the subpoena,” Thompson and Cheney, vice chair of the sham panel, said in a statement Friday.

A sociology professor at a Virginia university said adults' sexual attraction toward minors isn’t immoral. Video of Allyn Walker, an assistant professor of sociology and criminal justice at Old Dominion University, argued that “there is no morality or immorality attached to attraction to anyone” while discussing pedophiles or “minor-attracted persons” in an online conversation Monday. “I want to be extremely clear that child sex abuse is never ever OK,” Walker said. “But having an attraction to minors doesn’t mean the person having those attractions is doing something wrong.” Walker recently published a book titled A Long, Dark Shadow: Minor-Attracted People and Their Pursuit of Dignity that “takes readers
Black Americans who spent most of their lives working on Mississippi farms are suing their former employer after they were replaced by foreign workers on the H-2A visa program.The lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi, accuses Pitts Farms of laying off a number of black Americans, only to replace them with foreign visa workers from South Africa.The H-2A visa program allows U.S. farms to annually outsource an unlimited number of American jobs to foreign workers who can extend their stay for up to three years.

Biotechnology company Moderna Therapeutics has officially begun large-scale testing of its experimental COVID-19 vaccine on America’s youngest children.
As of “late October,” Moderna’s clinical trial – dubbed KidCOVE – kicked off phase III, which tests the controversial mRNA vaccine technology on children between the ages of 6 months and 5 years old. It will be conducted across 79 locations in 13 states and involve about ~13,250 participants in total.
Phases I and II of the trial, which tested on 12-17-year-olds and 5-11-year-olds – respectively, were completed over the past several months.
Now, researchers are turning to toddlers and infants to carry out their experiments –
When it comes to politicians, most Americans are slow to reach a boiling point. But Joe Biden is testing their patience with his cold-hearted fumbling of inflation.After first denying it was a widespread problem, then saying the surge in prices was “transitory,” the White House is now searching for a new response. The effort needs work. Lots of work.“Reversing this trend is a top priority for me,” President Biden belatedly claimed Wednesday, after his Labor Department reported the consumer price index rose 6.2 percent in October over the same period last year, the biggest jump in 30 years.

New York Magazine writer and founder of the “1619 Project” Nikole Hannah-Jones took to Twitter this week to offer her historically illiterate take on why the United States bombed Hiroshima during World War II.In a now-deleted Nov. 6 tweet, Jones attempted to argue that the only reason the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city was due to financial reasons.“They dropped the bomb when they knew surrender was coming because they’d spent all this money developing it and to prove it was worth it,” she wrote. “Propaganda is not history my friend.” (Tweet)

White people and White people alone are being encouraged by Marxists from a very early age to avoid having children of their own because White people are bad for the environment. They should be taught instead that White people are a very small fraction of the global population, and thus as an endangered species should have as many children as possible to avoid extinction.
