Return of the Ice Age

To Europe, anyway. Years of horrible decisions by European leaders have come home to roost, as Europeans now worry about how to heat their homes this winter. Reliance on a geopolitical enemy for much of their energy turned out to be a mistake, as Russia has now shut off gas supplies. Who could have predicted it? Other than anyone with a modicum of common sense? Which Europe’s governing class has lacked for many years. The continent’s leaders are panicking and preparing to ration energy: European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has called for the implementation of “mandatory” energy rationing throughout the EU during peak hours in order to “flatten the curve

Lol. That’s a good one #1. And we already know the French are surrender monkeys. And as Germany and France go, so goes Europe. Oh but you needn’t worry about the Ursula von der Leyens, The Obamas, Bush’s, and Clinton’s of the world. They will be just fine. Dining luxuriously on Wagyu beef and fine champagnes. Driving expensive bullet-proof SUVs powered by….gasoline of course.

The French have a massive nuclear power system. The French sell power to Germany and Italy, two countries that removed their nuclear powers. It is quite a laugh to call the French surrender monkeys after our surrender in Afghanistan to 8th century barbarians. Not quite as dignified as surrendering to the Germans.

Hey, maybe glowbull warming will finally arrive, like the Great Pumpkin, and save the day for these euros, and they’ll have a nice mild, warm winter? Of course they wouldn’t be able to ski and ice skate, but that would be such a small price to pay, really. Embrace the suck France and Germany.

So an unproven and ever more doubtful "crisis" has pushed grossly incompetent progressive bureaucrats to abandon an existing good solution (nuclear power) and instead turn to reliance on political enemies for ultimately stupid and IMPOSSIBLE solutions. Consider how quickly this has happened and also that this is only the first wave of a disaster that the progressives have set in motion. People will be suffering and some will die because of this. Plus, this is going to have additional impact that few dare to talk about. When it comes to people freezing in their homes vs. business continuing to run as normal, don't you think the choices will be to throttle back economic production? The global economy is already in trouble. This will push it into a depression. All so that the globalists could virtue signal over a fake climate crisis. The additional hilarity of this is that they are turning to coal and wood, two highly polluting energy sources, as a short term "fix" for the problem. If the "Climate" is the crisis, as THEY define it, THEY HAVE MADE IT WORSE. Who are these "leaders", Alfred E. Neuman clones. The same thing is happening in Kalifornia. Get some popcorn for the show.

WW II started, it is said, because the lessons of the Great War were not learnt. It seems Europe is not doing much better with lessons of WW II either. From Churchill to Donald Trump sensible leaders have warned against the policies followed esp by Germany and France.

Republican Support Outnumbers Democrats
in Florida by over 260k Voters

Florida Republicans are continuing to grow their advantage over Democrats in the Sunshine State, now besting them by over 260,000 voters statewide, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) announced on Tuesday. Speaking from Fort Myers this week, DeSantis highlighted the shift the Sunshine State has experienced in terms of voter registration in the last few years. Roughly four years ago, when DeSantis was running for governor against Andrew Gillum, “there were like 275,000 more Democrats than Republicans in the state of Florida,” the governor said, noting that Florida never had more registered Republicans than Democrats in the state’s history.

Shares of Smith & Wesson fall after gun

Shares of Smith & Wesson Brands Inc. were down Friday morning after the company said demand for its guns returned to pre-pandemic levels. The firearms maker on Thursday had reported net sales to $84.4 million for its fiscal first quarter, a decrease of 69% from the same time last year. Smith & Wesson Chief Executive Officer Mark Smith blamed the "challenging" quarter on the return to normal demand levels and the company needing to correct inventory levels. "The industry experienced our first normal summer slowdown in three years," Smith said in a press release. Additionally, he said manufacturer orders were "artificially depressed" as the company's partners sold through existing inventories.
North Korea declares itself a nuclear

North Korea has passed a new law declaring itself a nuclear weapons state in a move leader Kim Jong Un says is "irreversible." Kim vowed the country would "never give up" its nuclear weapons and said there could be no negotiations on denuclearization as he hailed the passage of the law, North Korean state media reported Friday. The new law also enshrines Pyongyang's right to use preemptive nuclear strikes to protect itself -- updating a previous stance under which it had said it would keep its weapons only until other countries denuclearized and would not use them preemptively against non-nuclear states.

On Thursday, as RedState reported, Queen Elizabeth II passed away at the age of 96. She lived a life fuller than most, standing as a symbol of hope and decency for the country she represented. The British monarch served in the Auxiliary Territorial Service during World War II before taking the throne in 1952 after the death of her father. Since then, she’s been the most prolific royal since Britain’s move to a constitutional and parliamentary system. No matter one’s thoughts on the idea of having a royal family, there’s no question she was beloved by her country and many others outside it.

Joe Manchin cast the deciding vote for the so-called Inflation Reduction Act, and it may end up costing him his political career if a new poll is to be believed. Manchin, who had originally pledged not to sign on to any new spending bill during the country’s current inflationary boom, suddenly switched his position at the end of July. The bill he negotiated, which cost nearly a trillion dollars, was full of wasteful green energy subsidies and payouts to special interests. It also represented a stabbing in the back of Republican senators who had trusted him to keep his word about reconciliation after voting for the CHIPS Act.

Palin and republican candidate Nick Begich had both lost to Democratic Candidate Mary. The former governor released a statement this week as she lashed out at the voting system and her fellow republican candidate, Nick Begich. Palin claims Begich is to be faulted for costing the Republicans the Ione seat. She also told him to drop out of the race and cause no further harm as they are both supposed to face Peltola again in November.
