Somehow, I tend to doubt that California’s ban on fossil fuel powered vehicles will apply to private jets.
Over at Legal Insurrection:
California will start implementing its ban on the sale of new gasoline-powered vehicles on Thursday, which was first announced in 2020. The ban is set to begin Thursday officially.
The fact that an unelected group of people can implement something like this without the California people actually having anything to say about it is appalling. At the very least it’s a threat to democracy. In truth, it’s intentionally destructive.
Former Florida governor Charlie Crist apparently still hasn’t learned the lesson.
Democratic Rep. Charlie Crist, who won Florida’s Democratic gubernatorial primary on Tuesday, declared on Wednesday that he does not want the votes of Floridians who support Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and suggested that DeSantis backers harbor “hate” within their hearts.
Still playing with the label gun I see, eh, Charlie? I find it interesting that the one complaining about hate can spend so much energy and spit hating anyone who comes down to the right of him. (And trust me, coming down to the right of you Charlie, is no great shakes.)
And no, it’s not hate that you should be worried about. It’s love for the state. If there’s any hatred involved, it has to do with what you did to the state. Coincidentally, that’s also why you were a one-term governor, and why Marco Rubio kicked your butt. Bad as he is, Florida still saw him as being better than you.
Trust me, you won’t have to worry about being Governor again.
Aug. 23, 2020 is a night Kenosha residents can’t help but remember — but would rather forget. At the hands of vindictive Black Lives Matter groupies and other self-described racial justice activists, the Wisconsin town went up in flames two years ago today.
Rogues started fires at government buildings. They set ablaze garbage trucks and torched upwards of 100 vehicles in the car lot owned by an Indian immigrant, smashing the windows of those who escaped the inferno. They vandalized the post office and a high school, and their flames completely consumed a century-old camera shop.
That’s only a fraction of what followed the justified police shooting of Jacob Blake.
Boarded up windows were scrawled with messages begging rioters to pass over them: “PLEASE, KIDS ABOVE” and “THE ELDERLY LIVE HERE.” Demonstrators taunted the scant law enforcers posted outside the courthouse. And when Wisconsin’s Democrat Gov. Tony Evers refused to send enough National Guardsmen after a full 24 hours of rioting despite locals’ pleas for help — he sent more troops to Milwaukee during the NBA finals — armed citizens stepped up to defend property and ultimately themselves, resulting in the deaths of two people.
That was two years ago. Now we’re watching the House Jan. 6 Committee’s Stalinist show trial for Americans who participated in the riot at the U.S. Capitol — and many who didn’t — on Jan. 6, 2021. Last November, we witnessed a courtroom drama for a 17-year-old kid who defended his life with a firearm during the riots but was slandered by legacy media as a white supremacist and a murderer.
Now, after more than 60 people have been charged with crimes related to the Kenosha riots, with supposedly many more to come, why has there been no large-scale investigation into these deadly riots, the players behind them, and the destructive ideology that sparked it all? Despite Democrats’ constant talk about Donald Trump’s “big lie,” they fall silent when confronted with evidence their race obsession can spur lethal race revolutions.
There’s a reason for that discrepancy. The riots in Kenosha benefited Democrats. January 6th, did not.
Rather makes you wonder about what’s going on with the FBI today, doesn’t it?
Rand Paul has an answer for that:
Fauci’s resignation will not prevent a full-throated investigation into the origins of the pandemic. He will be asked to testify under oath regarding any discussions he participated in concerning the lab leak.
Well, the lab leak is only part of the issue, and as far as I can see the smallest part. The investigation being pursued, the one that created this virus in the first place was outright illegal. Gain of function research was outlawed for a reason, and Anthony Fauci felt that he was above the law.
Let’s examine the cost of his illegal actions:
- In excess of 6 million people died directly from the virus, worldwide.
- An additional 6 million people had their jobs affected or eliminated because of the restrictions surrounding covid-19.
- Some 200,000 businesses permanently closed because of it.
And that’s leaving aside malfeasance in office is such as packing state-run nursing homes with covid-19 sufferers so that senior citizens could catch it.
That also leaves aside restrictions on hospitals preventing elective surgeries, pretty much messing up regular checkups for people, and preventing people from visiting Grandma and Grandpa in their final years.
Masking, social distancing, every bit of it was harmful to us both as individuals and as a society.
Then there are the other problems associated with covid-19.
Pp
And of course it was used as an excuse to alter the outcome of an election.
Rand Paul had better be right about this because Anthony Fauci just walking away from all this is unconscionable.
Jim Jordan is saying the 14 different FBI agents have come forward as whistleblowers about the blatent abuse of power in the raid of Donald Trump’s home.
You know, it’s funny how the mainstream media hasn’t said anything about this. Or maybe not. As Jim Jordan himself says:
The template never changes with these guys. The left creates a lie. Big media, mainstream press reports the lie. Big tech amplifies the lie, and then we try to tell the truth they call us names and try to cancel us and tell the world we’re the ones not being squared with them,”
Go read the whole article
These idiots have been trying to shut us down for generation after generation. The sky still hasn’t fallen. But it hasn’t stopped the fear mongering.
Oh by the way, even the left leaning Snopes admits this article is genuine.
The government is continuing its highly “successful” campaign to identify and convict any person that can conceivably be tied in any way to the Capitol Hill riot on January 6th of last year. The latest two people to be dragged before a magistrate and plead guilty were a pair of sisters, Trudy Castle and Kimberly DiFrancesco. The two women freely admitted to having been at the riot and entering the Capitol Building after someone dropped a dime on them to the authorities, pointing to social media footage showing them inside the building. On Wednesday, they both entered their guilty pleas after the prosecution settled on a charge of “misdemeanor parading, demonstrating or picketing” in a restricted area. They face sentencing on November 22, when they could get up to six months behind bars. They will also each pay a $500 fine. )
Clearly the Democrats and the establishment Republicans involved with these prosecutions feel that something was being threatened by the actions of these people. So, what is it that’s being threatened here?
Is it a matter of safety? Is it a matter of monetary value of the damages involved? By the way, those were minimal, and the only serious injury was the murder of Ashley Babbitt.
When one considers that the people pushing this January 6th business spent years quietly cheering as American cities burned. That would seem to eliminate safety and the monetary value of damages as a motivation for these prosecutions.
What, then? What is the motivation for these prosecutions? What was damaged? What is threatened?
What is threatened is Democrat party power. What was damaged was the illusion of broad support for what the Democrats did for the last 5 years, including the stolen election.
The message being sent is clear. Dissent will not be tolerated. The only logical conclusion to draw is that this is big government protecting itself from the people.
And I put a question to the rank and file Democrats… Did you actually vote for this Jack booted thuggery?
over a year away from the transition of power?, I mean, don’t they change those things once in awhile?
People, the claim is BS on its face.
I’ll just come right out to say this. Liz Cheney is as delusional if not more so then Nancy Pelosi.
Ponder:
As a Republican, she loses in Landslide fashion a primary in a state that’s 92% Republican and a Trump plus 50 district. From this she derives the information that she has enough national support to run for president as a Republican? As far as I can tell, she doesn’t need the support of voters, she needs watching.
Then, in the process of not quite announcing what will doubtless be a very short-lived disaster of a presidential campaign, she displays Her disconnectedness by comparing herself to Abraham Lincoln. Yes siree- bob. She is Abraham Lincoln without the beard. Well, mostly without the beard.
Then she tells us that her Landslide loss is a threat to democracy, apparently forgetting that she was rejected by the voters. Hey Liz, that is democracy.
And by the way Liz, just so you know, there’s a reason why Jeb Bush was rejected as a presidential candidate along with the rest of the establishment Republicans. It’s the same reason your buddy Bill Kristol can’t seem to get any traction with his magazine.
And you didn’t get around to making that phone call to concede? Bad form, Liz.
It’s been suggested that Cheney will try to run as a Democrat for the white house. If she does that it’ll show us two things. First, her love of having governmental power in her hands, secondly her vindictive nature, and as a bonus it will amplify America’s perception of her disconnectedness.
The lesson for you, my dear, is that the Democrats aren’t going to support you even though you went out of your way trying to pass as one of them. And certainly the GOP rank and file isn’t going to support you.
Consider the irony here. She jumped out in a leading role of the January 6th committee, Pelosi’s rigged show trial trying to tell everybody about how things weren’t rigged against Trump. And I’ll bet she still hasn’t figured out where the voters rejected her.
The rejection of the GOP establishment by the GOP rank and file continues apace and the resounding defeat of Liz Chaney at the hands of the voters is heartening. For one thing, it means that the Republican rank and file is much smarter that the Democrats would have you believe.
The GOP rank and file, you see, has correctly identified that the only difference between Democrats and the GOP establishment is that the Democrats aren’t pretending to be Republican.
So, to paraphrase another establishment Republican, I guess we won’t have Liz Cheney to kick around anymore. I can certainly live with that, but more importantly, the country can live with that.
Or, maybe we can quote somebody else a bit more succinctly: you’re fired.
She even tried comparing herself to Lincoln when the race was called against her. By the way, with that comment I think she’s probably tipping her hand. It’s even money she’ll surface as part of the so- called “Lincoln project”a group of liberals calling themselves “Republicans “.
Early numbers suggest that the only area she was successful in was around Jackson Hole, where there’s a lot of new money and people who have
recently escaped from the Democrat safe area of California, and who seem convinced that their goal in life is to turn Wyoming into the California hell hole they left behind.
I mentioned the other day that the primary season has proven where the mood of the voter is. Trump endorsed candidates are beating everybody else as of a week ago at the rate of 192 to 11. Those figures do not include last night’s counting, which will probably increase Trump’s total.
Addendum;
I see an awful lot of celebration going I’m coming over her loss. This is completely justified but don’t kid yourselves.
I wish it were that simple. But you don’t really think she’s going to crawl back into the hole she came from do you, really? She is through and through a GOP establishment critter and will always be so
Remember, the GOP establishment is still trying to play down Ronald Reagan’s legacy, is trying to play down the importance of Ted cruz, and certainly is anti-trump. Anyone who actually comes out as an actual conservative for that matter is a target of the GOP establishment. The spankings that the establishment is currently getting are richly deserved, but given the history since the 1980s I think I can pretty well assure you that they’re not going to learn anything from it
Before Donald Trump even took the nomination I was predicting that the GOP rank and file it had enough of the establishment and were about to go nuclear on them. Certainly, the nomination and election of Donald Trump was a confirmation of that observation, but if I’m reading these primary numbers correctly, it would appear the rejection of the establishment GOP by the GOP rank and file has if anything accelerated from those days. Truly, that is worth celebrating.
