  1. Tell us we're under attack without saying we're under attack:

     

     

    U.S. Army releases plan to address climate change

     

    The U.S. Army unveiled a new strategy Tuesday for dealing with global disruptions caused by climate change, which it says "endangers national and economic security."

     

    "The time to address climate change is now. The effects of climate change have taken a toll on supply chains, damaged our infrastructure, and increased risks to Army Soldiers and families due to natural disasters and extreme weather," Secretary of the Army Christine E. Wormuth wrote in the introduction to the report.

     

    "The Army must adapt across our entire enterprise and purposefully pursue greenhouse gas mitigation strategies to reduce climate risks. If we do not take action now, across our installations, acquisition and logistics, and training, our options to mitigate these risks will become more constrained with each passing year."

     

    Specifically, the report makes the case that the likelihood of armed conflict will grow around the world as temperatures continue to rise and the competition for resources increases.

     

    "The risk will rise even more where climate effects compound social instability, reduce access to basic necessities, undermine fragile governments and economies, damage vital infrastructure and lower agricultural production," the report states.

     

    Part of the Army plan includes making all military installations more self-sufficient in terms of energy and water needs, but it also calls for a sweeping transformation to sources of clean energy, switching to an all-electric fleet of noncombat vehicles by 2035 and for the development of electric combat vehicles by 2050.

     

    The Army's new report comes on the heels of the October release of the Department of Defense Climate Risk Analysis. In the foreword to that report, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin called climate change an "existential threat."

     

    "Climate change touches most of what this Department does, and this threat will continue to have worsening implications for U.S. national security," he wrote.

     

     

     

    "First, the Biden administration used troops as critical race theory lab rats. Now President Biden wants to turn the Army into a climate change task force," Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas, the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, told CQ Roll Call. "Time and money spent indulging Democrats' political goals is time and money lost in the fight against America's enemies — and our enemies know it."

    What is evil Breitbart missing here Bill?  I'd like to know so I can better understand why the DOD is having someone come lecture on the wonders of Chinese style Socialism...

    No need. You reference Breitbart in any post it destroys any credibility you think you might have…

     

     

     

     

    They just quoted from the NDU website.  They injected zero opinion in the article - unless you count their quotes from Gorka which I didn't include.

    That's the event.  It's pretty straightforward Bill.  

     

     

    Now I injected my 2 cents - and posted a tweet from the World Economic Forum from 6 years ago I think many would find a bit eye opening in light of recent events - and that everything you've been shouting down as conspiracy for 2 years has come to fruition

     

     

    Sooo....not sure how you can talk about credibility.  

  4. The Department of Defense’s National Defense University (NDU), the premier education institution for military and defense civilian leaders, is planning to host a lecture on how Western countries should adopt socialism in response to the challenge from China.

     

    The lecture, which is scheduled to take place online February 16, is titled, “Responding to China: The Case For Global Justice and Democratic Socialism,” and will be given by French economist Thomas Piketty, who is the author of a 2021 book titled Time for Socialism.

     

    A summary of the event, posted on the university’s website, reads:

     

    "Western countries are still struggling to define their attitude towards the Beijing regime. In this talk on February 22, 2022, Thomas Piketty will argue that the right answer lies in ending Western arrogance and promoting a new emancipatory and egalitarian horizon on a global scale, a new form of democratic and participatory, ecological and post-colonial socialism.  

     

    If they stick to their usual lecturing posture and a dated hyper-capitalist model, Western countries may find it extremely difficult to meet the Chinese challenge."

    "Hyper capitalist?"  That's the tell this is a sham.  Anyone seen any "hyper capitalism" here in the last 60 years?  Anyone?  What does that even mean?  Goal posts have moved on everything to them it probably means if the government cuts the top tax rate from 35% to 33%.  

     

    We're under attack.  Always have been but the stakes surged post Brexit, Trump, and a free and open internet. The goal is economic destruction of the U.S. and the complete breakdown of societal norms in order to make it possible. 

     

     

     

    The latest variant of Socialism doesn't require State control of the private sector.  At least not now, no need.  Socialists don't have to nationalize anything when the massive corporations they are fully in bed with are doing all they want anyway.  They still get the same results.

    shocker - so easy to target Trumpys...

     

     

     

     

    I love it when you find the memo that was sent to the libs.....

     

    Taibbi shreds 2022 Libs - I put this part first for Bill - even one of your own is mocking you and your response to the truckers:

     

     

    "Meanwhile, in a hilarious third-rate spoof version of American conventional wisdom — when Canadians try to imitate American pretensions, does it ever not end in a cringe-worthy self-own? — CBC announcer Nil Köksal went on air on January 28th and suggested the trucker protests were a Russian concoction. “Given Canada’s support of Ukraine in this current crisis with Russia,” she posited, to Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino, “there is concern that Russian actors could be continuing to fuel things as this protest grows, or perhaps even instigating it from the outset.”

     

     

    Long one of the world’s most vicious dictators, Ceaușescu’s most recent plan for winning over the heartland was forcing half the country’s villagers to destroy their own homes — with pick-axes and hammers, if they couldn’t afford a bulldozer — and packing them into project apartments in new “agro-industrial towns,” for a “better future.” Despite this, and his long history of murder, terror, and spying, Ceaușescu to the end did not grasp that his unpopularity had an organic character. He was convinced ethnically Hungarian “terrorists” were behind the latest trouble.

     

    After reaching the balcony of Bucharest’s Central Committee building to give a speech that December day, he’s genuinely surprised when the crowd turns on him. When he tells them to be quiet, he’s befuddled by their refusal, saying, “What, you can’t hear?” Elena jumps in and yells, “Silence!”, to which Ceaușescu, hilariously, replies, “Shut up!” The crowd listens to neither of them.

     

    Ceaușescu’s balcony will forever be a symbol of elite cluelessness. Even in the face of the gravest danger, a certain kind of ruler will never be able to see the last salvo coming, if doing so requires any self-examination. The neoliberal political establishment in most of the Western world, the subject of repeat populist revolts of rising intensity in recent years, seems to suffer from the same disability.

     

    There may be no real-world comparison between a blood-soaked monster like Ceaușescu and a bumbling ball-scratcher like Joe Biden, or an honorarium-gobbling technocrat like Hillary Clinton, or a Handsome Dan investment banker like Emmanuel Macron, or an effete pseudo-intellectual like Justin Trudeau. Still, the ongoing inability of these leaders to see the math of populist uprisings absolutely recalls that infamous scene in Bucharest. From Brexit to the election of Donald Trump to, now, the descent of thousands of Canadian truckers upon the capital city of Ottawa to confront Trudeau, a consistent theme has been the refusal to admit — not even to us, but to themselves — the numerical truth of what they’re dealing with....

    I love the response when he says we just decided this morning...we will increase minimum wage (I'm pretty sure the equivalent of going from $10 an hour to $12.  And the crowd is relentless....I know Rush talked about this balcony scene before I completely forgot.  And I was too young to remember it.  This is what all the elites think of you:

     

     

     

     

  6. On Feb. 10, Minnesota's Twin Cities Mayors Melvin Carter and Jacob Frey made a joint statement, announcing the repeal of their vaccine mandates for restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues, as reported by the Star Tribune. Since January, people in Minneapolis and St. Paul have been required to show proof of vaccination to enter these spaces. If not, they had to provide a negative COVID test result.

    “This is no longer a protest. With a protest, you peacefully make your point and go back home, and I know the vast majority of people did that,” said Ford, saying that the point has been heard, and telling those at the border crossing and in Ottawa to go home.

     

    “I urge you, it’s time to leave, and it’s time to do so peacefully,” he said.

     

    “There will be consequences to these actions, and they will be severe,” he said, saying that the province was cracking down on funds from the GiveSendGo.

     

    “Today, I’m using my authority as premier of Ontario to declare a state of emergency in our province. I will convene cabinet to use legal authorities to urgently enact orders that will make crystal-clear [that] it is illegal and punishable to block and impede the movement of goods, people, and services on critical infrastructure,” said Ford, which will include international border crossings, 400-series highways, airports, ports, bridges, and railways.

     

    “It will also include protecting the safe and essential movement of ambulatory and medical services, public transit, municipal and provincial roadways, as well as pedestrian walkways.” Fines for non compliance will be “severe,” with a maximum penalty of $100,000 and up to a year in prison, the premier said.

     

     

     

     

    There's going to be an actual insurrection.

    If I'm the parent of the 5 year old that got the shot, and I'm seeing the news today that Pfizer is halting plans to ok it for kids under 5, I'm probably going to want a ***t load of answers.  

     

    Pfizer withdrew their application for FDA approval for kids under 5.  Not enough data - I guess the 0.0000000001 death rate for under 5 due to covid wasn't enough data.  

     

     

     

    To the parents of these kids ages 5-7, 8, 9? that got the shot.....I'm sure it's fine..

     

    What a f...ing disaster.  

     

    Need WWIII to off ramp this.  

  9. Europe is on the verge of declaring the COVID pandemic over. Not so fast, the WHO fires back

     

    With the prospect of more variants in the future, European governments are now pushing to a model of living with COVID as an endemic disease like the flu, rather than trying to eradicate it.

     

    In short: Europe appears to be done with COVID—despite a stern warning from World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus: “It’s premature for any country either to surrender or to declare victory.”

     

    Not scared in Scandinavia

     

    Europeans are the least likely to say they are “very” or “somewhat” afraid of catching COVID compared to other regions, according to data compiled by YouGov.

  10. Spot the hell on....

     

    "They're worried that measures that ought to be exceptional and limited in time....are being normalized..."

     

     

     

     

    Wow you mean like we warned you 15 days will absolutely become indefinitely??

     

    Dam if only these morons didn't go all in on this just to get Trump out this might be over - but DeSantis defied all of them and has been proven right. 

     

    That's not the political off ramp they can accept.  It's what happens when you make a virus a political football.

    So I hear the Tucker Trump sponsored  truck convoy is making its way to America.

     

    Just remember - this charade has NOTHING to do with mandates and EVERYTHING to do with slowing supply chains and effect the mid year elections.

     

    When you have nothing else to run on like the GQP you resort to pathetic tricks like this.

     

    This, too, will backfire on the cult.

  11. Send these people to the freaking sun.....

     

     

     

     

    Enjoy the COVID Grace Period

     

    It’s worth acknowledging here that all of us can hear “Patience, grasshopper” only so many times before we decide to burn everything to the ground. This is a trash place to be, after spending such a long time in crisis. And as my colleague Derek Thompson has written, the “Stay vigilant” ask may feel especially unfair for the people who have been holding the line on caution for years, only to watch their neighbors and colleagues—some of the very people they’ve been trying to protect—snub or exploit that graciousness. COVID has not gone away, despite their best efforts, and maybe worse, the still-COVID-conscious are having to bear more of the burden, even as their ranks dwindle. Vigilance is that much tougher when you feel like you’re the only one on watch.

     

    But that is many people’s reality, and not everyone has the wiggle room to act more freely. Hidalgo, of the University of Alabama at Birmingham, told me that living in a state where vaccination rates are low and enthusiasm for other infection-prevention measures is scarce has prompted her to draw sharper borders around her behavior. She feels confident saying that her family of four is living far more strictly than most in her community.

     

    Her two sons, ages 8 and 12, are the only kids on their respective basketball teams who play fully masked; even the crowds at their games have turned into a sea of uncovered faces. She, her husband, and the kids are all vaccinated. But they’re still avoiding restaurants, movie theaters, and large gatherings of any kind. They’ve traveled only twice in the past two years, and visit vulnerable relatives, including Hidalgo’s parents, only sparingly. Things might feel rosier if they lived in California or New York, but they don’t. “Our situation is completely different,” she said. Hidalgo knows that her risk tolerance is “on the low end,” but she prefers not to frame it that way—her decision calculus isn’t about what she wants, or about what will make her comfortable. “Have we eliminated a lot from our life? Yes,” she said. “But there is sufficient need to prevent infection.”

     

    https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2022/02/covid-normal-life-grace-period-done/622051/

     

     

    And they don't ask that psychopath why.  She flat out says her risk level is "on the low end."  She should at least lie for the article that is absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable bc there are millions like this.  Irrationally so.  

     

    They also don't ask her how long she intends to do that to her kids.

     

    What a pathetic existence.  Alive but not living.

     

    Secession.  She wants out of Alabama anyway.  Good.  Move to Oregon.  

  12. Lol "pro-democracy" efforts.  

     

    People have to understand something about the way Democrats talk about democracy and freedom.  Especially as they continue their "Republicans are anti-Democracy" rhetoric.  Time to start throwing that back at them and calling them out for what they really mean.  Whether they know it or not.   Because a lot don't.  They're being led by these lunatics.  Same ones behind Soros - yea he loves freedom guys.  Absolutely....

     

     

    No they think and speak of freedoms and democracy the exact same way Marx and Lenin did.  

     

    And it always sounds nice.  And inclusive!

     

    But you will always end up with Stalinism and a gun pointed at you - for not complying.

    You know you got nothing when you turn your 7 year impeachment into "they have declared war on the truth."  If everything were so easy to understand and guilt obvious (of what even I have no clue what they're talking about anymore - its swipe right immediately when the latest NY Times Jan 6th news alert pops up) they would be able to articulate it.  

     

    I feel so bad for people wasting their time they know you're addicted to their fake news like crack.   Plus these child molesters need followers to get paid.    

     

     

     

    Hey speaking of crack, we got a guy in the WH ready to give you actual crack for free, you don't have to torture yourselves 24/7/365 reading the fake Trump trash.
