Big Tech's Fake 'Green Energy' PR Push - To Paper Over Their Obnoxiousness
Big Tech's Fake 'Green Energy' PR Push - To Paper Over Their Obnoxiousness"...Unfortunately, we currently live in The Fact Free Age.
And a key, corrupt component of today’s corrupt Zeitgeist?
- If you pose and preen about being “green?”
- You can actually do whatever you want - no matter how much it violates the actual tenets of being “green.”
- And it buys you near infinite permission to do all sorts of other awful things.
Big Tech companies - are the hugest companies in the history of our blue-green planet.
And they make their many trillions of dollars - electronically.
Which means…they use a LOT of electricity.

“Energy-guzzling data centres and supply chains mean our online lives leave a heavy environmental footprint.”...

Colorado cancels plans to send migrants to NYC, Chicago amid outcry from Democratic mayors | Fox News
Colorado cancels plans to send migrants to NYC, Chicago amid outcry from Democratic mayors | Fox News:
Democratic Colorado Gov. Jared Polis will stop sending migrants to New York City, Chicago and other major Democrat-run cities after mayors expressed outrage at the plan in recent weeks.
Polis had agreed to work with local authorities in Denver to help send migrants to their final destinations. While Colorado is not a border state, it has seen a major influx of migrants seeking passage to elsewhere in the country. Mayors Eric Adams of New York City and Lori Lightfoot of Chicago called on Polis to end his assistance last week as their cities also struggle with a surge in migrants.

"According to a study": the most expensive 4 words in America!-----The Biden admin is actually considering a ban on gas stoves. (read the comments!)
The Biden admin is actually considering a ban on gas stoves. People have thoughts.
"One third of homes in the United States have gas stoves in the kitchen, and according to a study from last year, if people don't turn their hoods on while cooking, using natural gas can emit particulates linked to health issues.
"One third of homes in the United States have gas stoves in the kitchen, and according to a study from last year, if people don't turn their hoods on while cooking, using natural gas can emit particulates linked to health issues.
- But of even more concern to the researchers, unburned methane from natural gas is adding to climate change (cuz of course).
- But since most of the methane emissions were recorded when the stoves were off, using the stove less wouldn't help lower emissions.
So logically...
The White House Covid Censorship Machine - WSJ
The White House Covid Censorship Machine - WSJ"...Newly released documents show that the White House has played a major role in censoring Americans on social media.
Email exchanges between Rob Flaherty, the White House’s director of digital media, and social-media executives prove the companies put Covid censorship policies in place in response to relentless, coercive pressure from the White House—not voluntarily...
- On March 14, 2021, Mr. Flaherty emailed a Facebook executive (whose name we’ve redacted as a courtesy) with the subject line “You are hiding the ball” and a link to a Washington Post article about Facebook’s own research into “the spread of ideas that contribute to vaccine hesitancy,” as the paper put it.
- “I think there is a misunderstanding,” the executive wrote back.
- “I don’t think this is a misunderstanding,” Mr. Flaherty replied. “We are gravely concerned that your service is one of the top drivers of vaccine hesitancy—period. . . . We want to know that you’re trying, we want to know how we can help, and we want to know that you’re not playing a shell game. . . . This would all be a lot easier if you would just be straight with us.”...
Lies beget lies.-----The Shameful Exploitation of Brian Sicknick’s Death
The Shameful Exploitation of Brian Sicknick’s Death - By Julie Kelly"...What can only be described as “insurrection psychosis” continues to grip
...The ceremony in reality served as an opportunity for Biden to again perpetuate one of the biggest lies about January 6: that numerous police officers, including Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, died as a result of the Capitol protest. ...“He lost his life protecting our elected representatives, upholding the will of the American people, and defending our Constitution,” a military aide said from the podium in the East Room on Friday.
- But that isn’t what happened. Sicknick suffered two strokes caused by a blood clot near his brain stem; the D.C. coroner concluded Sicknick died of natural causes on January 7, 2021 at the age of 42...
- Less than 24 hours after Sicknick died, the New York Times published an anonymously sourced account claiming Sicknick had been bludgeoned to death by protesters using a fire extinguisher.
- The paper retracted the story a month later but the damage was done; the notion that Sicknick died at the hands of Trump supporters became an animating feature of “insurrection” folklore, repeated to this day by the news media and federal judges handling January 6 criminal cases...
Top Republican shuts down NBC's Chuck Todd for using Democrats' playbook on Biden investigation - TheBlaze
Top Republican shuts down NBC's Chuck Todd for using Democrats' playbook on Biden investigation - TheBlaze:
Todd prefaced his question about the investigation by saying that "many people," though he did not specify who, are concerned that Republicans will be more "more partisan than professional." He asked Comer, then, how the GOP will "de-partisanize" the inquiries.
Comer responded by exposing the Democratic bias underlying Todd's question.
First, Democrats have been engaging in highly partisan investigations in recent years, Comer pointed out. Second, polls indicate that Americans generally support oversight investigations into President Joe Biden.
Russia Ukraine Conflict: What Have We Bargained for? | National Review
Russia Ukraine Conflict: What Have We Bargained for? | National Review - By MICHAEL BRENDAN DOUGHERTY"The dangers of the conflict are much greater than hawks would have us believe.
...Crippling a rival military is only worthwhile when you have a strategic reason for doing so, and we conspicuously lack one.
- The NATO alliance’s duties have been radically expanded with no radical expansion in the share of the alliance’s burdens shouldered by Europe.
- Ukraine’s ultra-nationalist project is at odds with the democratic and liberal-internationalist values that are used to sell the conflict abroad.
- The conflict’s financial and moral costs to the U.S. have been growing for nearly a decade, and taking on Ukraine as a permanent dependent will grow them even more.
- The arc of the conflict is just as likely to encourage as to discourage Xi in his pursuit of Taiwan, given the ways in which our enmeshment in Europe will deplete our attention, resources, and will to be the world’s cop...
