'ESG ratings have little to no relation to carbon intensity': 'Green' companies with high environmental, social, and governance metrics pollute as much as low-rated companies, report finds - TheBlaze

'ESG ratings have little to no relation to carbon intensity': 'Green' companies with high environmental, social, and governance metrics pollute as much as low-rated companies, report finds - TheBlaze: 

A report from the Financial Times revealed that a company's environmental, social, and governance score has "little to no relation" to its carbon emissions, noting that high-rated firms pollute just as much as low-rated firms. Felix Goltz, a research director at Scientific Beta, told the Financial Times, "The carbon intensity reduction of green [ie low carbon intensity] portfolios can be effectively cancelled out by adding ESG objectives."

Stopping Looters: We Ain't Gonna Take It, Any More

Stopping Looters: We Ain't Gonna Take It, Any More By Ward Clark
"It appears some people aren’t going to put up with brazen looters any more.
The 1976 film Network had one iconic moment, where Howard Beale, played by Peter Finch, started a social phenomenon by declaring during a live broadcast that his viewers should all shout, “I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not gonna take this anymore!”

• Looting of retail establishments has become a far worse pandemic than COVID was. 

Thieves boldly walk in, stuff bags and boxes full of merchandise and stroll out, knowing nothing will be done. 

Stores are resorting to all sorts of counter-measures, anything except actually apprehending and arresting the looters. 

• And let’s be clear; this isn’t what Americans usually consider shoplifting...
• These people are looters, pure and simple. 
• They aren’t hungry, their motive is profit, and in lots of places, they’re just allowed to get away with it...

"...After taking a close look at the frivolous indictment this author noticed that Jack Smith and Merrick Garland are clearly publishing opinions that have NEVER been proven in court.
Jack Smith included several paragraphs on the State Farm Center election night vote counting in Atlanta, Georgia.
We all know the story, election officials announced they would shut down counting early on election night. 

The counting room was then cleared of all election observers and local media reporters. 

Then several minutes later, after the room was emptied, at least five election workers entered the counting room, dragged a seemingly hidden suitcase of ballots out from under a table, and began counting ballots again and apparently shoving stacks of ballots through the machines numerous times.

Here’s the video shown to the Georgia Senate. Judge for yourself...

NY Times makes stunning admission about Joe Biden's role in Hunter's business deals: 'Textbook gaslighting' - TheBlaze

NY Times makes stunning admission about Joe Biden's role in Hunter's business deals: 'Textbook gaslighting' - TheBlaze: 

"The New York Times casually admitted Monday that "it has long been known" that President Joe Biden "interacted" with Hunter Biden's business associates. On Monday, Devon Archer, a longtime business associate of Hunter's, told Congress that Hunter put his father on speakerphone about 20 times during meetings with business partners over a decade. Using his father, Archer testified, was Hunter's way of selling "the brand" and closing business deals. Importantly, these alleged 20 instances were those that Archer himself witnessed, which doesn't preclude other instances.

'Every electric car you buy will fund' top enemy of U.S.: 

A new report is warning that Joe Biden's demand that huge numbers of Americans be forced to buy electric vehicles, instead of gas-powered cars, will benefit al-Qaida. It's because al-Qaida, through the Taliban, controls huge lithium resources in Afghanistan.

International madness...or Chinese/Russian/Iranian interference with our governments?!!

 

OLD AND CRUDE: Looking Back On The Golden Age of Driving. We lived in our cars back in the Fifties

Instapundit - Looking Back On The Golden Age of Driving. We lived in our cars back in the Fifties

OLD AND CRUDE

We lived in our cars back in the Fifties and Sixties. We dined and went to movies in them hoping to get into a little hanky-panky, and some of us even went to drive-in churches...

And when I say driving, I am referring to accelerating, shifting, back-shifting, cornering, and braking—and occasionally, should the opportunity arise, going fast. As Alodus Huxley once said, “Speed, it seems to me, provides the one genuinely modern pleasure.”..

But for how long? As the late P.J. O’Rourke warned in 2009:

Cars didn’t shape our existence; cars let us escape with our lives. We’re way the heck out here in Valley Bottom Heights and Trout Antler Estates because we were at war with the cities. We fought rotten public schools, idiot municipal bureaucracies, corrupt political machines, rampant criminality and the pointy-headed busybodies. Cars gave us our dragoons and hussars, lent us speed and mobility, let us scout the terrain and probe the enemy’s lines. And thanks to our cars, when we lost the cities we weren’t forced to surrender, we were able to retreat.

Why, it’s as if, “At some point in the future, be it years, decades, or a century hence, the federal government will seek to ban driving.” by Ed Driscoll

• It is interesting to compare Jack Smith's J6 indictment of Trump and see how the charges compare with what Al Gore did in 2000 and what Hillary did in 2016.
• If this is the standard, the Al and Hill would be cellies - and they would have plenty of company.

"You know the names - 

• Clapper, Comey, Strzok, Page, Brennan, the 50 intel officials - Hillary asserting fraud in 2016, 
• the infamous January 5th meeting in 2017 between Peter Strzok, Susan Rice, Obama, Biden and Susan Yates that detailed the surveillance and leak operation against Michael Flynn.

Based on what Smith has alleged are crimes, every presidential spokesperson since 2000 should be jailed....
If the people let this stand, there will be more.

Fresno Lab: China's Operation to Exterminate Americans :: Gatestone Institute by Gordon G. Chang

• There were on site at least 20 potentially infectious pathogens including those causing coronavirus, HIV, hepatitis, and herpes...

• The lab was supposed to be producing COVID-19 and pregnancy tests, but the facility contained items inconsistent with that explanation. The seizures at the lab strongly suggest China's regime is preparing to spread disease in America, undoubtedly in the months before a war.

• In all probability, it is from locations like this one where China will "fire the first shot" in the next war.

• General Chi Haotian, when he was China's defense minister two decades ago, reportedly gave a secret speech advocating the extermination of Americans with disease. His plan was to clear out the hills, plains, and valleys of North America so that the Chinese people could settle in the vast spaces left uninhabited...

After $700 million U.S. bailout, trucking firm Yellow is shutting down | The Seattle Times

"WASHINGTON — Yellow, the beleaguered trucking company that received a $700 million pandemic loan from the federal government, notified staff Friday that it is shutting down and laying off employees at all of its locations.
The move comes before an expected bankruptcy filing by Yellow in the coming days.

 The closure of the company would mean the loss of approximately 30,000 jobs and mark the end of a business that just three years ago was deemed so critical to the nation’s supply chains that it warranted a federal bailout.
“The company is shutting down its regular operations on July 28, 2023, closing and/or laying off employees at all of its locations, including yours,” the company said in a memo to staff that was reviewed by The New York Times...

School archery, hunting programs blocked by Biden admin from receiving federal funding - TheBlaze: 

Executive vice president of Safari Club International Ben Cassidy told Fox News Digital, "It is ironic that the U.S. Department of Education is actively denying young Americans the chance to educate themselves on basic firearm and hunting safety so that they can go afield knowing how to keep themselves, their friends, and family safe."

CJ on Mathematics and Science: John Clauser: Crisis of Nobel Pseudoscience

Crisis of Nobel Pseudoscience

2022 Physics Nobel Laureate John Clauser has found by investigating the current status of climate science that the climate alarmism propagated by IPCC and the new International Panel on Information Environment formed by the Nobel Foundation, is pseudoscience:
Now I am not alone in observing the dangerous proliferation of pseudoscience. 

Recently, The Nobel Foundation has formed a new panel to address the issue called the International Panel on Information Environment...

• In particular, there is no known or even thinkable physics indicating that a minor increase in the level of atmospheric CO2 from use of fossil fuel can cause measurable warming of a global climate subject to major impact from the Sun, clouds and ocean circulation. 

Zero.

Let’s meet the historic, record-shattering Hunga Tonga volcanic eruption of 2022, which I bet you never heard of...

The short version is an underwater Pacific Ocean volcano named Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai, 490 feet under the waves, massively erupted, bigger than any other modern eruption, even bigger than Mount Pinatubo.
You never heard about it since it was underwater and nobody died. 

• But the erupting lava instantly vaporized fantastic, unimaginable amounts of sea water, which billowed into the atmosphere, changing the water composition of Earth’s atmosphere and heating it up for years. 

In only a few days, the superheated water from the Hunga Tonga eruption blanketed the globe, pole to pole, East to West.
The eruption was so big it could be clearly seen from space...
