The Global Fertilizer Shortage Means That Far Less Food Will Be Grown All Over The Planet In 2022

The Global Fertilizer Shortage Means That Far Less Food Will Be Grown All Over The Planet In 2022
"...
But these days, experts are telling us that a global shortage of fertilizer could result in horrifying famines all over the world. 
  • Right now, to a very large degree we are still eating food that was produced in 2021. 
  • But by the end of the year, to a very large degree we will be eating food that was produced in 2022. 
 Unfortunately for all of us, it appears that a lack of fertilizer will mean that far less food is grown in 2022 than originally anticipated...

School District To Pre-K Students: Draw Your Own Transgender Pride Flag | The Daily Wire

School District To Pre-K Students: Draw Your Own Transgender Pride Flag | The Daily Wire  link
"As part of its ongoing LGBTQ+ Equity study month this April, an Illinois school district has suggested that Pre-K students “identify the colors in the rainbow flag” and “participate in making” their own “rainbow and/or trans pride flag,” according to curriculum materials reviewed by The Daily Wire.
District 65, located in Evanston, Illinois, has dedicated a significant portion of the academic year to “equity weeks.” 
  • From September 15 to October 15, it hosted Latinx Heritage Month
  • In February, District 65 hosted Black Lives Matter At School Week of Action, The Daily Wire reported Wednesday.
  • The district’s LGBTQ+ Equity Month study unit is currently running for Pre-K to eighth grade. According to curriculum materials posted online, it is appropriate for students in the preschool to learn that some of their friends’ parents might be “non-binary or queer” and to learn about the rainbow flag. The curriculum also has students learn what each color of the flag represents — before drawing their own. The end of the presentation has students dancing to a “song about rainbow colors,” according to the slides...Read all.

“we hate all you stand for! Now give us more money!”

Facebook  Jim Runestad
"There is only one area of State Government that tells all Republican legislators and voters, in essence “we hate all you stand for! Now give us more money!”
Only universities can advocate relentlessly for a 
  • far Leftest woke agenda, 
  • fighting free speech, 
  • individual liberty, 
  • advocating a woke socialist agenda, 
  • spending mountains of state resources advocating a critical race theory agenda, 
  • lockdowns, 
  • mask mandates, 
  • vaccination mandates that made no scientific sense, and 
  • yet thrusts their hands out demanding “we will advocate all these destructive philosophies to propagate to your kids so in return give us mountains more money!”
All of this while they refuse to reduce full-time professors in the face of massive declining enrollments, adding huge new buildings to the exploding cost of fashionable facilities and arenas that really make the administration board members and Regents really swoon. 
So take a look at the enrollment declines and then take a look at the amount of money we recently gave them in their huge budgets increases.
Michigan House and Senate conference committees moved a $50.7 billion general omnibus budget and $2.2 billion higher education budget, including a 6.4% increase in higher education aid."

Three State AGs Sue Biden Administration Over Title 42 Decision | The Daily Caller

“While it’s difficult to identify President Biden’s most irresponsible move since taking office, rescinding Title 42 is certainly up there,”  Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich said in a statement shared with the DCNF.

“It’s a ridiculously poor decision with a bad intention for border states and American communities across the country. This administration’s reckless pandering to the far Left and complete abdication of its responsibility to public safety cannot be allowed to continue,” Brnovich said.

Climate Change Is About Control, Stupid – Not The Environment

Climate Change Is About Control, Stupid – Not The Environment
  • The apocalyptic talk about climate change is nothing more than a diversion tactic by the government, the radical Left, and their mainstream press.
"The many laws, the trillions in federal appropriations and tax credits, and the unworkable proposals to address climate change will not slow the rise of the oceans or heal the planet.
Lobbying for more climate regulation is to enhance the power of the authoritarian state, not protect the environment.
The radical Left has the world obsessing over whether we have 10, 20, or 50 years before the eve of destruction.
The hysteria gives the government the excuse it needs for more controls over the energy we use, the products we purchase, the homes we live in, the food we eat, and since the pandemic when we can leave our homes.
However, the data supporting the climate studies are
rarely made public
so that scientists can test the reproducibility of the studies...link

North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson delivered speech on transgender movement in viral video - TheBlaze

North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson delivered a sermon about the rise of people identifying as transgender last August. The blistering speech resurfaced this weekend on social media and immediately went viral. According to BizPac Review, Robinson delivered his remarks at the Upper Room Church of God in Christ in Raleigh, North Carolina. Robinson did not shy away from his criticisms of the transgender movement. Among his "controversial" statements from the address is that there are only "two genders." "Here's something I'm not supposed to say: Ain't but two genders," Robinson proclaimed as he raised two fingers to the church crowd and then reiterated, "Two genders. Ain't nothing but men and women."

Proof has emerged from the White House that Biden's presidency is over - American Thinker

Proof has emerged from the White House that Biden's presidency is over

"...'The ostensible reason for Obama's return to the White House was to celebrate Obamacare's twelfth anniversary (if you can celebrate our modern, cowardly, corporate-run "medical care," along with overpriced insurance that does little for people with serious health issues).  The reception in Obama's honor, though, hinted that the event's real purpose was to signal to Democrat apparatchiks that Biden is now shark chum.

The chumming process began when Obama referred to Biden as the "vice president," adding, after a long pause, "That was a joke."

...No, it wasn't a joke.  Biden, showing the deference of the Beta male to the Alpha male (or the abused wife to her abuser), later introduced himself as Obama's vice president and "Jill Biden's husband."
