New Report Shows Push for Electric Cars
Is Actually Killing Rainforests

It was buried during the Thanksgiving weekend, but CNN managed to commit a random act of journalism, detailing some new climate data that was found to show that the Earth warming actually began many decades earlier than stated. This revelation manages to both throw off climate modeling, as well as make the claim that mankind’s technology was the root cause of…well, everything going wrong. Joining in the fray now is NBC News, which has also surprised by delivering another inconvenient truth. A new report shows that the need for more raw nickel ore – driven by the explosive market for lithium batteries – is causing the eradication of pristine rainforests

Since when has the planet stayed the same constant temperature? At one point my part of Ohio was a giant glacier.

I am still at a loss why coal powered cars utilizing expensive and hard to produce batteries are better than oil powered cars that use easy and cheap to build engines. Plus, the child labor that China (in particular, though not exclusively) uses to extract the minerals needed for this crappy technology is life ending for many youngsters and causes birth defects in others.

Clean and utterly safe nuclear power - - checks all the green boxes. So - - why are goo-goo-eyed leftists opposed to this cleanest and most environmentally-friendly source of power?

--not that I have any sympathy with the 'greens' , but the impact of nickel mining is probably infinitesimal compared to the rest of 'deforestation'--

What's the big deal? Only 500,000 pounds of earth must be torn up to find the copper, lithium, etc. that creates a single 1,000 pound battery.

Wait until the Left realizes (after the fact, not "figures out", because that requires common sense and foresight) that they will have to entirely cover all of the National Park, protected federal, and indigenous peoples' land with... Chinese... solar cells just to keep the 8-10 largest American cities running at their current demands. And, with all of that dark field coverage and the tens of millions of...you guessed it...CHINESE...wind turbines whirling along, the diversion of solar energy and local wind currents will REALLY start a climate change and species eradication snowball rolling. Oh, and about that metaphorical "snowball": the above only works in the warm months. Wait until freezes set in (and they will, and more often), and the turbines freeze and break down, and the solar cell farms turn into dead ice-and-snow fields for a few weeks to months per year.

There is no difference between men and women, we’re told by leftist activists, none whatsoever. We’re also told by these same people that there’s nothing a man can do better than a woman, aside from writing their name in the snow… What we aren’t told is just how much better at being women men actually can be, at sports anyway. That last sentence is, of course, absurd. It’s also, if what the left is desperately trying to convince the world of were accurate, is undeniably true. We’ve all heard about the high school sprinters who were not very good as boys,

You’re not going to believe this, but you now have more ammunition against the idiots running around saying Trump told people to inject themselves with bleach. He never did that. What he did do was inartfully try to describe a new technology that relies on UV light to be injected through a catheter into parts of the body (like the lungs) where the light can act as a “disinfectant” and kill viruses. Scott Adams, who has been railing against the fake news bleach hoax since it happened, wrote, “These guys injected a disinfectant into sick COVID patients! UV light was the disinfectant, injected via a light catheter. Trump was right.”

First of all, if this report surprises you, you haven’t been paying attention to the desperate lengths the left continues to go to try to force every man, woman, and child in America — except for illegal aliens, of course — to get the hell vaccinated. As many times as they tell you to. Until the end of mankind. Or longer. Assuming you’re a RedState regular, you won’t be surprised in the least by what you’re about to read.

I came across this tweet today from pundit Elisha Krauss and it got me thinking. [Tweet] This isn’t the first time I’ve heard a story like this. In fact, I seem to be hearing it more and more these days. Education is universally recognized as key to a successful future, but in the decades since the birth of 60s activism, we’ve managed to make college the end-all-be-all of education, a singular path to prosperity. To our sad detriment. When I was in high school in the 90s, trade programs were a vital and regular part of our education curriculum.
Hillary Clinton needs to move on 36 replies

Hillary Clinton lost, and now she needs to move on from the 2016 election. I’m not trying to be cruel or twist the knife. I mean this with all sincerity. She just needs to move on for her own good. The constant reliving of her failed campaign against former President Donald Trump is unhealthy. She’s clearly still upset about it. She’s clearly still angry. But she’ll never recover from her defeat so long as she continues to wallow in it, relentlessly poring over every excruciating detail. She’ll certainly never recover if she continues in both word and deed to define herself by her failed campaign.
GOP moves to stop 'zombie votes' at Democratic FTC 3 replies

Republican senators are aiming to stop the Federal Trade Commission's Democratic chairwoman, Lina Khan, from using the votes of departed commissioners to move her agenda forward. Six Republican senators, led by Sen. Jerry Moran of Kansas, introduced legislation last week that would invalidate dozens of email votes left behind by Democrat Rohit Chopra when he left the agency in October. The trade commission's current rules allow Chopra's votes to be used for up to 60 days after his departure, thereby allowing Democrats at the agency, led by Khan, to use his critical vote to maintain a majority regarding votes on policy statements, investigations, and rule-makings.
Good riddance to Chris Cuomo 8 replies

CNN fired Chris Cuomo this weekend. Don’t applaud. He never should have made it this far. CNN should have canned the younger, dumber Cuomo years ago for being an unethical, loudmouthed dimwit. That CNN eventually fired him doesn’t erase the fact it held on to him for as long as it did. Cuomo was let go Saturday after it was revealed he had lied about the extent to which he worked behind the scenes to shield his brother, disgraced former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, from multiple allegations of sexual misconduct. In an effort to keep the then-governor one step ahead of the scandal, the younger Cuomo

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Monday celebrated the reinstatement of a Florida doctor who temporarily lost his job because of President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate. “Jeff, a Florida doctor I met in Brandon at the Special Session bill signing, was suspended from his job due to Biden’s mandate. He has now been reinstated due to our efforts to stop this heavy-handed federal mandate,” DeSantis announced, declaring that “freedom has a home here in Florida”: [Tweet]. Indeed, last month, DeSantis, signed legislation in Brandon, Florida — an obvious nod to the “Let’s Go, Brandon!” movement sweeping the nation —

Homeless and people with low incomes will soon be housed next to the iconic and expensive Venice Beach neighborhood after the Los Angeles City Council approved last week a 136-unit apartment building. The project, which will be built on city property that is now a parking lot, will cover 2.7 acres and the Venice Dell Community project will cost $75 million. This is a development that is also taking place in other U.S. cities led by leftists who believe forcing diversity of income and race into prosperous and safe neighborhoods is required to achieve “equity.” Half of the units will house homeless people,

As a thought experiment, I posted the following statement to Twitter last week: “Unless you are 100% sure that this vaccine is 100% safe for 100% of those who take it (you aren’t), you have NO moral right to force or coerce it on ANYONE. In fact, choosing to do so is an evil action.” To clarify, I added the below as a follow-up: “You can strongly recommend it. You can explain why you think the benefits are worth the drawbacks and/or risks. What you can't do - if you want to stay on the right side of morality, that is - is impose a negative consequence for making the 'wrong' choice.

Editor's Note: Graphic content warning. My cousin was murdered a few weeks ago. Shot in the back of the head by a “friend.” And robbed. He was 29, harmless, but attached to one too many friends in low places. The killer, predictably, was also a young black man. Just as predictably, my cousin only met his father once or twice – just enough to keep his gut throbbing with the snub of paternal abandonment. His older brother patched the gaps as much as he could. He encouraged him, chastised him, and called him on most days just to check in –

Jill Biden defended Joe Biden's mental health, calling questions about her husband's capabilities 'ridiculous' and saying he works 'almost 24 hours' a day. Biden sat down with CBS' Rita Braver at Camp David to talk about life in the White House - a rare TV interview from the private presidential retreat in the Maryland mountains. In the conversation, she admitted being first lady was a 'little harder' than she expected, expressed optimism at what her husband can do in a highly-charged political environment of Washington, and dismissed recent polls showing Americans have questions about the president's mental fitness.

President Biden has signed a series of executive orders to make the federal government carbon neutral. The Democrat president on Wednesday ordered federal agencies to purchase electric vehicles, harness wind, solar, and nuclear energy to power facilities, and to use sustainable building materials. The goal is for the federal government to stop adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere by 2050. In the next decade, Biden wants the government to cease purchasing electricity produced from sources that emit carbon dioxide. By 2035, the administration wants all new federal cars and truck purchases to be zero-emissions. Right now, only about 1.5% of the government fleet is electric vehicles.

Vice President Kamala Harris told reporters that Friday's Supreme Court ruling leaving in place a Texas abortion law was 'an attempt to undo 50 years of precedent.' The court ruled Friday that a lawsuit by abortion providers in Texas can move forward but left the ban on abortions after about six weeks in place as challenges are being litigated. The high court punted the law's legality. Its action today sends the case by abortion providers back to a district court, which could lead to it being suspended.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Forget speeding tickets — California truck drivers will soon have to watch out for pollution tickets. State regulators on Thursday voted to crack down on heavy duty trucks weighing more than 14,000 pounds (6,350 kilograms) — those big semi-trailers that make up just 3% of all vehicles in California but spend so much time on the road they account for more than half of all pollution from cars and trucks each year. New rules will require these big trucks, including ones from other states passing through Califonria — to be tested at least four times per year to make sure they

China is building a 12,000mph hypersonic plane that will be able to take 10 passengers to anywhere in the world within an hour. The 148ft (45 metre) long plane is nearly a third larger than a Boeing 737 and features delta wings similar to Concorde, but with the tips pointed up. Officials aim to have a fleet of the aircrafts by the end of 2035 and expand the planes to carry 100 passengers by 2045—although their purpose has not yet been made clear.(Snip)They based the plane's design on the Boeing Manta X-47C, which was part of a project abandoned by Nasa in 2000 for being too costly.

After a 10-month review of the 2020 election in the Dairy State, the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty has compiled its findings — which set off alarm bells about the state’s massive election integrity shortcomings and reveal weaknesses the swing state must shore up before the next election. The review, which WILL said it approached “without presumption as to what it would find,” included polling, surveys, an inspection of the law, interviews with elected officials, an analysis of almost 20,000 ballots and 29,000 absentee ballot envelopes, as well as a review of tens of thousands of documents obtained through more than 460 open records requests.

We are with you, Jussie.” Kamala Harris praised Smollett as “one of the kindest, most gentle human beings”
