Yeah, Not Gonna Happen: Taxpayer-Supported
PBS Implores Americans to Abandon 'Fossil
Fuel Grills'

Original Article

Let's first just cut to the chase: Oh, hell no — you can have my awesome new Weber gas grill when pry it from my cold dead hands. We "climate destroyers" can't seem to do anything without the climate scolds trying to suck the fun out of every bit of life — either by attempting to guilt-shame us, or by shoving their "climate-friendly" alternatives down our throats. Memorial Day weekend presented a perfect opportunity for the ever-pretentious climate catastrophizers of taxpayer-supported PBS to press Americans to kick their "fossil fuel grills" to the curb in favor of "climate-friendly" electric grills. Again, in my climate-destroying [ahem] world, that just ain't gonna happen.

Comments:

The ONLY reason my dad uses an electric grill is because the condo association where we live does not allow them for safety reasons. Otherwise, he would still be using his beloved gas grill.

Oh the stupidity of PBS reeks. It takes 3 times the energy of a fossil fuel grill to fire an electric grill

If you are going to use electric you might as well cook on the range inside. I say stop shipping our sawdust to Europe for them to burn to meet some ridiculous spec for producing alternate energy. Keep the saw dust here and make it into charcoal again. The price of charcoal is way too high. I cooked a roast on my grill and the charcoal cost more than the meat.

Never considered an electric grill. If I go that route, I might as well grill on my stove. I have a combo gas/charcoal grill for three reasons. Taste, the ability to smoke the meat and as an emergency back up when the electricity goes out during hurricane season.

PBS proves they don't know much about grilling let alone the climate. Unless you purchase a commercial 220 volt electric grill, grills are limited to 1,500 watts. This is not enough for many uses. I count on my grill as a stove backup when the electricity goes off.

They just can't stop telling people what to do. As far as I'm concerned they can go to ****! I'm probably gonna burn a 2.5 lb. Top Sirloin Steak in a day or two on a charcoal grill, and a foil wrapped Tater with butter and onion. While I'm at it I'll likely cook some pork chops after the steak comes off the grill. and finish off with a link of pork and beef sausage. A small amount of hickory wood will be used to smoke the steak and chops, and I have some Strawberry Habanero BBQ sauce to slather on the link of sausage. The remainder of the BBQ sauce will be used on a rack of smoked ribs at a later date. That would be smoke-friendly grillin' and chillin' PBS since I'll likely have a beer or three while cooking. I'm pretty sure you guys are actually the Public Butthead Society!

Former New York Democrat Congressman Charles Rangel has passed away. He was 94. Rangel served 23 terms in Congress. He was elected to Congress in 1970 and retired in 2017. “A towering figure in American politics and a champion for justice, equity, and opportunity, Congressman Rangel dedicated over four decades of his life to public service,” the Rangel family said in a statement. NYC Mayor Eric Adams released a statement on Rangel’s death. “I am so sad to lose a dear friend and exemplary model of devotion and courage. My prayers are with his family, Harlem, and all who knew him,” Adams said.

Kamala Harris has been pretty scarce since she got wiped out in the November election. But for some reason, she spoke at a real estate conference in Australia over the weekend. Frankly, I don't know why anyone interested in real estate would want to hear from her. However, she was interviewed for an hour by real estate industry veteran John McGrath. Now you know how tipped the scales were in such an interview when he referred to her as “one of the most successful women in history” with “her best work ahead of her,” according to The Guardian. Can I laugh now? Don't you mean the most unsuccessful woman in history?

Conservative commentators blasted CBS's Scott Pelley for his baseless anti-President Donald Trump commencement speech, falsely claiming that journalism and the "rule of law" were under attack. A video surfaced on X over the weekend of the "60 Minutes" anchor's May 19 speech to the graduating class of 2025 at Wake Forest University in North Carolina, in which he makes a series of insane claims about the state of America now under Trump. During Pelley's entire rant, he avoids actually naming the president. "But in this moment, this morning, our sacred rule of law is under attack," Pelley said with no example as to what he was talking about.

Before His arrest, Jesus told His disciples to prepare for the road ahead—even if it meant arming themselves. Not for conquest. Not for aggression, but for survival and the fulfillment of a mission that would cost Him His life. That same readiness—physical, moral, and spiritual—defines the American warrior, especially those we remember on Memorial Day. “But now let the one who has a moneybag take it, and likewise a knapsack. And let the one who has no sword sell his cloak and buy one.” — Luke 22:36 The last Monday in May is a day of solemnity. It is arguably the most important day of national remembrance in the patriot’s calendar—

Republicans and Democrats don’t use PR the same way. If you’re a Republican, your relationship with the mainstream media is almost always adversarial. They’re an obstacle that must be carefully circumvented — or directly bulldozed — but no conservative since John McCain views ‘em as an ally. At best, they’re a useful foil. At worst? They’re your biggest frickin’ headache. Republicans had to literally build a completely separate ecosystem — Fox News, alternative media (like this site), X.com, and podcasts — just to have a fighting chance. Not so with Democrats. If you’re a tofu-munching liberal, the mainstream media is your ally, best friend, and collaborative partner. You vote the same way;

Left-wing media very much wants President Donald Trump to have dementia. At first, they began peddling this narrative to distract from former President Joe Biden’s obvious cognitive decline. Now, they are likely using it for a similar reason. The Insider published a so-called “investigation” into Trump’s supposed cognitive issues during his second term. It enlisted several mental health professionals to support their narrative. Dr. Bandy Lee, formerly of Yale University, claimed the president is showing clear signs of early dementia. These signs include reduced vocabulary, incoherence, impulsivity, and “paraphasias,”

Former Obama aides Jon Favreau and Dan Pfeiffer spoke about one of the main things that’s gnawing at liberals: Trump has taken over their coalition. The Republican Party is now a multi-racial working-class party. Republicans are winning enough women and Latino voters, which makes this latest iteration of the GOP virtually unbeatable. The only good news for Democrats is that Trump is term-limited, and there’s nothing permanent in politics. It's an underreported gripe, but the data and the exit polling don’t lie. Pfieffer especially went into how if Democrats don’t reverse course and have the tough discussions about their messaging, agenda, and campaign strategy, they’re on the path toward total annihilation.

President Donald Trump delivered a powerful message to the 2025 graduating class at West Point, telling the new Army officers, “You are winners.” In his first military commencement address of his second term, Trump praised the cadets for their discipline, patriotism, and commitment to defending the nation—qualities he said are too often underappreciated in today’s politically correct climate. The speech marked a return to Trump’s America First approach to military leadership, emphasizing strength, honor, and a refusal to bow to globalist agendas. On Saturday, Trump addressed the West Point graduates, who chanted “USA, USA,” by congratulating the young men and women and saying he can “proudly say mission accomplished.”

There was a time, not so long ago, when climate scientist Michael Mann could bully critics into silence with the mere threat of a lawsuit. He was the face behind the infamous "hockey stick" graph, a man lauded by progressives, featured in Al Gore's documentary, and embraced by a media eager to label skeptics as dangerous deniers. But the courtroom, as it turns out, is no place for manufactured myths or moral grandstanding. A Washington, D.C. court just handed Mann a bruising legal defeat. After more than a decade of litigation, he has been ordered to pay over $1 million in attorney's fees to the very people he accused of defamation:

Joe Biden Struggling to Bring In Cash

After his disastrous decision to run for reelection helped secure Donald Trump’s victory, former President Joe Biden is fighting for his reputation — and struggling to rake in cash. The subject of recent books detailing his decline, Biden is apparently having trouble bringing in speaking fees and difficulty fundraising for his presidential library, The Wall Street Journal reports. Perhaps this should come as no surprise. After Biden’s catastrophic 2024 debate performance against Trump revealed the extent of his declining health and marked the end of his campaign, why would anyone pay the former president to speak? And who would want to fund a Biden presidential library, as a monument

Initially introduced by Wyden in 2017, the Vote at Home Act would give eligible voters the option to vote by mail (including via drop-off site), provide pre-paid envelopes to return ballots and would automatically register citizens to vote at DMVs. Under the bill, voters who live in states with in-person, same-day voter registration would still have the option to vote at a polling station.

Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government could lose nearly 60% of its student body if the Trump administration’s attempted ban on international enrollment, temporarily blocked by a judge, takes effect. As at many Harvard schools, campus life at the Kennedy School has been hijacked by anti-Israel activists. Last week, a federal judge blocked President Donald Trump from denying Harvard the ability to enroll students on foreign visas. But the administration made clear it intends to stop Harvard from being able to enroll foreigners if it continues to defy the president’s demands that it fight antisemitism and reform its “woke” curriculum and administrative practices.

This week, the Supreme Court continued to deliberate over what to do with the growing number of national or universal injunctions issued by federal district courts against the Trump Administration. The court has long failed to address the problem, and what I call “chronic injunctivitis” is now raging across the court system. Justices have only worsened the condition with conflicting and at times incomprehensible opinions. Both Democratic and Republican presidents have long argued that federal judges are out of control in issuing national injunctions that freeze the entire executive branch for years on a given policy. For presidents, you have to effectively sweep the district courts 677-to-0

In a brief return to Britain, I was concerned to see that London has undergone a dramatic demographic change. The city of my birth is visibly more Muslim than it was even four years ago.

For decades, Brits have not been allowed to question the wisdom of importing large numbers of people into a western society who do not share western values.
