Michael Smith - The Monument Crashers are at it again, this time... | Facebook
"The Monument Crashers are at it again, this time removing a monument at Arlington that is not celebrating the Confederacy, it is honoring a reconciliation of the nation - but anything the historically ignorant feel is related to half this nation has to go, right?
Once the monuments are gone, one wonders if the left will enact something like the British did with the 1752 Murder Act that placed the post-mortem punishment of the corpse at the center of the criminal justice system, stipulating that the bodies of all convicted murderers were to be either publicly dissected or hung in chains...
Once you understand that for the American left, literally no action is about anything other than power and control, the truth comes into clear focus.

Premature Coal Closures Pose a Serious Threat to Grid Stability

From ClimateREALISM By Linnea Lueken

Welborn...lists several instances of utilities being forced to apologize for blackouts, including Duke Energy, the Tennessee Valley Authority, and PJM...

Joe Rogan explains how our academic institutions have fallen | Blaze Media: 

How do you slowly but surely turn the political and social tides of an entire nation? The Soviet Union figured out that this was possible via persistent indoctrination at the educational level — or in Joe Rogan’s words:

“You infect the kids with Marxism and Leninism in the universities and then you indoctrinate them to these ideas and then they go off and slowly start to seep into the workplace. And over the course of several generations, you completely diminish their confidence in democracy and what they think about America.”

Democrats scheme to ban Republicans from office, undermine 'democracy'

Democrats scheme to ban Republicans from office, undermine 'democracy': 

"The proposed purge of much of the Republican State Senate delegation is a demonstration of what democracy looks like when it’s uncoupled from constitutional protections, free and fair elections, multiparty representation and even handed laws. And that’s why America was a republic, not a democracy," it explains.

Not-So-Scary Truth About Climate Change, by John Stossel | Creators Syndicate

• United States Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry says it will take trillions of dollars to "solve" climate change.

"Kerry has little understanding of money or how it's created. 

He's a multimillionaire because he married a rich woman...

A third of the Netherlands is below sea level. In some areas, it's 22 feet below. Yet the country thrives. That's the way to deal with climate change: adjust to it.

"Fewer people are going to get flooded every year, despite the fact that you have much higher sea level rise. The total cost for Holland over the last half-century is about $10 billion," says Lomborg. "Not nothing, but very little for an advanced economy over 50 years."
For saying things like that, Lomborg is labeled "the devil."

"The problem here is unmitigated scaremongering," he replies...

The Epic Bullshit of Catastrophic Climate Change - ELIZABETH NICKSON

"I am on RFKJr’s campaign mailing list, probably through Children’s Health Defence and they asked me for money, and I said sure, just as soon as he fixes the catastrophe he caused in the province where I live.
Got a message back!
It read,

“Elizabeth, I am sure Robert would fix whatever harm he caused, can you explain?”No problem, I said.
1. In British Columbia, we had the largest industrial forest in the world
2. It paid for education and universal ‘free’ health care.
3. The environmental left decided to shut it down.
4. The reason for their protest was that the government, as was common practice, had sold cutting permits with long leaseholds. A new socialist government announced it was pulling the permits and taking those forests back.
5. In order not to lose all the invested money, which they had not only paid for upfront and in annual leasing charges, but paid taxes on, some for decades, lessees immediately clear cut their lands. Clear cuts are ugly. (but they are fire breaks)
6. That triggered the protest...

Americans Horrified After Watching Jill Biden's White House Christmas Video

Americans Horrified After Watching Jill Biden's White House Christmas Video: 

Daily Wire pundit (and expert on women) Matt Walsh perhaps summed it up best: “Thanks it’s the worst thing I’ve ever seen.”

It also can’t be understated that Jill Biden appears to have found this new low after two straight years of people criticizing her White House Christmas decorations … So it’s not like expectations were exactly sky-high for this year’s festivities.
