America's $100 Billion Climate Change Flop

America's $100 Billion Climate Change Flop - Stephen Moore

"For at least the last 20 years, politicians in Washington, at the behest of green energy groups, have spent some $100 billion of taxpayer money to fight climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. 

How is that going for us so far?

• A recent Associated Press story, based on the latest data on global carbon emissions, provides a pretty accurate report card: "Carbon Dioxide Emissions Reached a Record High in 2022."

...You've got to almost shriek out loud when you read this line: "Thursday's (IEA) report was described as disconcerting by climate scientists."
"Disconcerting"? 

That's putting it lightly. 

We are the furthest thing from being climate change alarmists, but when you spend $100 billion of taxpayer money and achieve absolutely nothing, President Joe Biden and his green allies should be arrested for criminal fraud.

• Where did all the money go? 

Tens of billions of dollars have lined the pockets of left-wing environmental and social justice groups that have been emitting a lot of hot air but no results. 

Green energy companies have milked taxpayers of tens of billions more, even as wind and solar only produce about 12% of our energy.

• Is this the greatest ripoff of U.S. taxpayers in history?...

Dr. Fauci got a lot of things wrong, remained silent on COVID censorship: Jonathan Turley | Fox News

Dr. Fauci got a lot of things wrong, remained silent on COVID censorship: Jonathan Turley | Fox News: 

Now we're finding out that Dr. Fauci was pushing this study and funding it. That's really sort of disturbing when you put it in the context of what we know was going on. We now know because of litigation that the CDC had backchannels to social media to censor people, to target people who would be suspended. We also know, of course, that various scientists were effectively silenced or shunned and one of the criticisms that I have had with Dr. Fauci and his colleagues is they really said nothing during this period.

TUCKER CARLSON’S EXPOSE BLEW A RATHER LARGE HOLE IN DEMS ‘DEADLY INSURRECTION’ STORY
"...On his Monday night show, Tucker Carlson shared some of the previously unseen footage and it told a remarkably different story than the one that has been force-fed to the American people by the highly partisan and duplicitous House Jan. 6 Committee.
Before airing the clips, Carlson told viewers:

It doesn’t answer every question from Jan. 6. Far from it.
But it does prove, beyond doubt, that Democrats in Congress, assisted by [then-Reps] Adam Kinzinger [R-IL] and Liz Cheney [R-WY], lied about what happened that day.
They are liars.
That is conclusive.
The footage does not show an insurrection or a riot in progress. 

Instead, it shows police officers escorting protestors through the building...

Drug overdose deaths in the U.S. are surging : NPR

"MICHEL MARTIN, HOST:
Drug overdose deaths in the U.S. continue to surge. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released new data this week showing drug overdoses killed more than 107,000 people in the U.S. last year. That's another record. Correspondent Brian Mann reports on addiction for NPR, and he's here with us now to tell us more. Brian, welcome. Thank you for joining us.
BRIAN MANN, BYLINE: Thanks, Michel.
MARTIN: So how bad was the increase in fatal drug overdoses last year?
MANN: It was terrible, I mean, a 15% increase on top of a roughly 30% increase the year before. And overall, fatal overdoses have more than doubled, twice as many people dying in just five years.
...MARTIN: Do we know why this is happening?
MANN: The big culprit, and we've been talking about this, is this synthetic opioid fentanyl. Mexican drug cartels are mixing this powerful, highly addictive opioid into much of the illegal street drug supply...
...MARTIN: And maybe people might think this is a naive question, but what about stopping fentanyl from reaching the U.S.? Is there any success in that?
MANN: The short answer is no...

FERBRACHE: To Find Truth, Objectivity Must Go? | The Daily Caller

"Two former media executives recently published the results of interviews with over 75 leaders of media organizations. 

Based on the responses, the authors conclude that adherence to objectivity in journalism is passé.

• Former Washington Post editor Leonard Downie Jr. and former CBS News President Andrew Heyward conclude that journalists today “believe that pursuing objectivity can lead to false balance or misleading “bothsidesism” in covering stories about race, the treatment of women, LGBTQ+ rights, income inequality, climate change and many other subjects...

...The embrace of “The Fourth Estate” activism at the expense of balance and neutrality, trust is precisely what has been lost. 

According to Gallup, trust in the media is at a record low, with 38% of Americans having no trust at all...

Fired unvaxxed NY court workers must be rehired, given back pay with interest - TheBlaze: 

The New York State Public Employment Relations Board ruled that court workers who were fired for refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccine must be rehired and given back pay. The February 24 decision made by the board requires the Unified Court System to "cease and desist" from enforcing policies that mandate all non-judicial employees to be vaccinated or regularly test for COVID.

Electric grid in collapse, media/bureaucrats argue over $10 penalty increase-----Days of outages in latest storm don't add up for utility credits

Days of outages in latest storm don't add up for utility credits - The Detroit News

"Thousands of southeast Michigan residents lost power Friday in the latest strong storm to strike the state, and crews continued working Monday to restore those still in the dark, but it appears they won't qualify for an outage credit.
...At one point Friday night, Consumers Energy reported under 30,000 customers without power...

• "Outage credits are not yet automatic; they are currently still $25 and only one-time, and customers must request the credits," said Matt Helms, a spokesman for the Michigan Public Service Commission, which regulates the utilities.
• The commission last March approved changes to state rules that would require all regulated utilities to increase their power outage credit rates from $25 to $35, plus $35 extra for additional days past a certain benchmark...

Can You Feel The Earth Shaking? - by Mark Wauck

Can You Feel The Earth Shaking? - by Mark

"Yesterday I was listening to the guys at The Duran, who brought up the topic of Zhou’s(Biden's) recent jaunt to Kiev and Warsaw....they stated that Eastern European countries—by which they mean Poland and the Baltics—are “freaking out”.

Yes, Zhou read from his note cards the usual memes about “as long as it takes”, but apparently what the Eastern Euros heard privately caused them to flip their wigs. 

The impression they got, according to the guys at The Duran, was either that 

1) Zhou and his regime have no actual plan—it’s, maybe this will work, maybe that—or

2) Zhou may have let slip that the US is about to bail on Ukraine. 

True it is that the collective West understands that Ukraine is reaching the end game—the weapons cupboard of the collective West is largely bare, for all the yakkety yak about “arms packages”, which now mostly amount to “the checks in the mail”...Much more at link!

We’re All Unvaxxed

We’re All Unvaxxed - By Thomas Buckley  

• Mandates and the suppression of free speech were not at all well-grounded enough to justify the state’s response

"No one on the planet is vaccinated against COVID.

No one.
Those who received a shot (or two or three or four) are not vaccinated against COVID in the traditional – and accurate – sense of the word.

• Polio vaccine – you won’t get polio.
• Tetanus vaccine – you won’t get tetanus.
• COVID vaccine – you can get – and spread – COVID. In other words, not to be crass but if the polio vaccine worked like the COVID vaccine – not preventing, just lessening the severity – millions of people would be walking around with a limp.

So exactly why were people fired, mocked, ostracized, restricted, segregated, shamed, blamed, and named for being exactly like everyone else – unvaccinated against COVID?...

Democrats are helping human traffickers. Why?

Leftist media backtracks after false reports that conservative host said at CPAC that transgender people 'must be eradicated' - TheBlaze: 

Knowles was underscoring how deleterious the transsexual movement has been, not just on the individuals who have been sterilized and mutilated with the help of pharmaceutical reps and surgeons, but on women and girls whose sex-specific spaces (e.g., prisons, bathrooms, shelters) and events have been infiltrated by biological males masquerading as women.

A 'Peaceful Protest' Somehow Morphed Into a Violent One as 23 People Are Charged With 'Domestic Terrorism' After Attack on Atlanta's 'Cop City' - The Political Insider 

"...CNN reports that “violent agitators” attacked Atlanta police officers and construction equipment “with Molotov cocktails, commercial-grade fireworks, bricks and large rocks,” even setting a tractor on fire as evidenced by video at the scene.

• The incident comes just two months after ABC News famously portrayed similar video evidence in the same location regarding protests of that same “Cop City” as “peaceful.”
• It’s almost as if there is some sort of consistent pattern here. And yet the media portrays these domestic terrorists as ‘mostly peaceful’ while the rioters on January 6th were the most violent people they have ever seen.

...That’s a gunman wounding a police officer, Molotov cocktails, arson, and vandalism all at the same site. We’d hate to see if they weren’t mostly peaceful protesters.

Top health official asked when to 'deploy the new variant' to force compliance with pandemic restrictions, leaked messages show - TheBlaze: 

 Explosive text messages published on Sunday show a top British official colluded to "frighten the pants off everyone" about COVID-19 variants to force compliance with pandemic restrictions.

Less than a week before the British government withdrew plans to relax restrictions for Christmas 2020, Matt Hancock, who at the time served as the British health secretary, asked an aide when they should "deploy the new variant."

This is the biggest scandal in American history | Fox News: 

We are living through the largest, deadliest scandal in American history, but the elite media refuses to connect the dots and analyze it.

COVID-19, a disease no one disputes came from Wuhan, China, has killed more than 1.1 million Americans and more than 6.8 million people worldwide. It has left millions of others with chronic health problems.

Because of the teachers’ unions and totally misguided, destructive public health policies, children who were under virtually no risk from COVID-19 have lost at least a year of education. Many children are suffering from depression and other mental health challenges from the forced isolation and lack of social contact.
