Way back when Michael Chrichton wrote a novel called State Of Fear about the global warming climate change hoax. Spoiler alert: One of the best parts was when a Ted Danson character was eaten alive by cannibals. I laughed my ass off. Anyhoo, the gummint has tried to keep us in a state of fear to grow larger and more intrusive. And it’s not just the rat bastard commie Dimocrats. Nixon gave us the EPA and Bush 43 gave us the Department of Homeland Security. We already had one of those. It was called the Defense Department. It was supposed to be in charge of protecting the country. The FBI has been weaponized by the Dimocrats and used against innocent American citizens as has other gummint agencies. Thanks Obungler and thank you America for wanting to elect the first black president.
Ron has a few thoughts on this.
When I was in my 20s, government warned us that oil would be all gone in 10 years.
When I was in my 30s, scientists were predicting an ice age in 10 years.
When I was in my 40s, acid rain was going to ruin all farmland and kill all crops in 10 years.
When I was in my 50s, the fear was that the ozone layer would disappear in 10 years.
When I hit my 60s, everyone was convinced that the icecaps would be gone in 10 years.
In my 70s, entire island nations and major cities would be under water in 10 years.
Now I’m in my 80s, and no matter what they do, ever’body’s gonna get the Chinese gleep.
The only constant during that entire period of 60 years was a steady increase in gummint growth & taxes.
So far, just like the warnings about a zombie apocalypse, every prediction about global warming and the end of the world has been wrong. And wishful thinking, unicorns, wind farms, and Teslas aren’t going to fix anything.
The climatards, such as Pope Algore, Jacques Querrie, and AOC, have convinced themselves that the sun’s effect on the planet’s weather can be controlled by destroying industry and paying CO2 taxes to governments. Problem with that is they’ve managed to convince the President of the United States to agree with them.
The most advanced, sophisticated, and powerful governments on the planet were unable to keep the Chinese gleep from getting out of control or the monkeypox from getting out of Africa, but if you listen to them, you’ll hear that they CAN control the planet’s weather if we pay more taxes to them.
Here’s an inconvenient truth about shifting to “green” power and abandoning fossil fuels:
An electric car’s battery (a Tesla’s, for example) is made of 25 pounds of lithium, 60 pounds of nickel, 44 pounds of manganese, 30 pounds of cobalt, and hundreds of pounds of copper, aluminum, steel, and plastic. Average weight is 750-1,000 pounds of minerals that had to be mined and processed into a battery that merely stores electricity . . . .
And 70% of that electricity is produced by burning oil, gas, or coal (only a tiny fraction comes from wind and solar). Most of the rest of it is generated by hydroelectric or nuclear stations. That is the truth about the lie of “green” energy.
There’s nothing green about the green new deal.
And here’s another inconvenient truth about our leadership:
Taiwan is the world’s numero uno computer chip maker. The PRC considers the island a runaway province of mainland China. The US has no formalized mutual defense apparatus with Taiwan, and the US is not ready politically or militarily to defend the place against a ChiCom takeover. Imagine what happens to the US if Xi gets control of Taiwan’s industries.
No one, not even Mexico, fears the Biden administration or how it might respond to economic or military aggression against the US or any other country. According to Joe, America is a nation that can be defined in a single word – – “Asfutmsifwffutsch.”
The real question about Biden is whether he was more confused and indecisive BEFORE the bike crash or after it. As a Murkan citizen, Joe has the right to be as stupid as he likes, but sometimes he tends to abuse the privilege.
No matter what Biden or any of his “experts” tell us, this nation’s economy is in a recession, and its leadership is in denial. Not satisfied with destroying national security, Basement Joe snapped the supply chain and tossed a grenade into the fossil fuel industry which doubled gasoline prices. The only positive things about Joe Biden are his gleep test and his inflation rates.
It’s as if Joe & Ho took the oath of office with their hands on the flush handle. And what’s so alarming about it all is that he told us that’s what he would do to fossil fuels.
So, yesterday I had all the symptoms of a standard summer cold. Not much change this mornin, either. Slept O.K., but feel kinda washed out, stuffy head and still coughin. Ate a nice blueberry bagle, toasted and properly smeared with butter. I could smell that AND the coffee, and don’t feel feverish or headachy, just tired.
We’ll see. Gonna avoid gettin all sweaty today and make sure I eat a lotta healthful stuff, like sinigang broth and chicken soup. I think what I REALLY need is a YUGE double cheeseburger, a fountain Pepsi on cracked ice, a classic banana split, and a nap.
And I really don’t b’lieve someone with the sinogleep would be thinkin that way.
