Climate Scam Unraveling: World Bank Really Doesn't Know Where $41 Billion in Funding Goes

Climate Scam Unraveling: World Bank Really Doesn't Know Where $41 Billion in Funding Goes: 

Ah, fact-checking. Where would we be without it?

Take, for instance, a recent story that made the rounds on social media. According to these reports, Oxfam — the British NGO — found that a huge chunk of the World Bank’s spending on climate change-related issues was “missing.”

Thank heavens for fact-checkers like the Australian Associated Press — a Poynter Institute-accredited fact-checker from down under — which set us all straight: “An Oxfam report did not find that $US41 billion has gone ‘missing’  from the World Bank’s climate change fund, contrary to claims online.”

Same as every other democrat dominated state. Cities too!

They'll say any lie to keep their "grants" flowing!-----EXCLUSIVE-Scientists warn of impending 'Ultra-​Intense Category 6' storm

The prediction comes from an international team of over 60 experts who found the burning of fossil fuels has poured the equivalent energy into the Earth's systems, heralding a dark new era of 'mega-hurricanes.' - DAILYMAIL.COM 

• An 'Ultra-​Intense Category 6' storm would unleash winds of 192 miles per hour or higher and a rise in seawater exceeding 25 feet.

While this is a theoretical weather event, experts called it 'the most powerful storm ever seen on Earth,' predicting it will form sometime around 2100' and be named Hurricane Danielle....

• The forecast is part of the new book Category Five...featured scientific calculations and testimonies from sailors who have dealt with extreme weather first-hand...

Europe: The Fall Of The Holy Renewable Empire | ZeroHedge

Literally "flat, dark calm," Dunkelflaute is characterized by a simultaneous lack of wind and sun in winter, when demand for electricity in Germany is at its highest. - Authored by Drieu Godefridi via the Gatestone Institute, 

Solar and wind power production falls drastically during unfavorable weather conditions.
It happens, in fact, every year...

• The prices are indeed staggering. In 2024, the household price of electricity in Germany was the highest in Europe...
• But this is "for the planet", right? Not even close. Despite its commitment to so-called green energies, Germany still has a high carbon footprint due to its increased reliance on coal and lignite to make up for energy shortfalls...
• Germany's high electricity prices are leading to the relocation of its industry, as companies look for sites where energy costs are more affordable...Whole swathes of Germany's proud industry are collapsing...
• Finally, Germany's increased dependence on its neighbors for energy supplies has been creating tensions in Europe. High electricity prices in Germany are being passed on to neighboring countries, making electricity unaffordable there and generating growing frustration. 

In short, the Dunkelflaute is the symptom of a profound energy crisis, caused by an ideological, authoritarian, irrational and failed energy transition...

"Cage-free". You pay the price.

 

Legacy-Ending Photos Drop in Final Days of Biden Presidency: Then-VP Seen Meeting with Hunter's Chinese Business Associates

Legacy-Ending Photos Drop in Final Days of Biden Presidency: Then-VP Seen Meeting with Hunter's Chinese Business Associates: 

President Joe Biden denied meeting with the business partners of his son, Hunter Biden, on several occasions over the past few years.

State Department’s Global Engagement Center — accused of pushing censorship to combat online ‘disinformation’ — shuts down

The GEC, established in 2016, had a budget of about $61 million and 120 people on staff. - Victor Nava

The State Department’s controversial Global Engagement Center (GEC) shut down this week after congressional lawmakers nixed reauthorizing the agency in spending legislation to keep the government open...

• The GEC came under fire from House Republicans after journalist Matt Taibbi uncovered evidence that it pressured US social media platforms early in the COVID-19 pandemic to censor Americans online, purportedly to counter “disinformation,” such as theories that the virus leaked out of a laboratory in China.
• “We learned Twitter, Facebook, Google, and other companies developed a formal system for taking in moderation ‘requests’ from every corner of government: the FBI, DHS, HHS, DOD, the Global Engagement Center at State, even the CIA,” Taibbi testified to Congress in March 2023, shortly after his “Twitter Files” expose on the GEC...
• The Washington Examiner later uncovered a $100,000 grant GEC made to the London-based Global Disinformation Index (GDI) in 2021 and 2022 — a media monitoring nonprofit that would go on to deem 10 outlets, including The Post, as purveyors of “disinformation.”...

With Biden's term running out, even more taxpayer-funded aid headed to Ukraine * WorldNetDaily * by Mariane Angela, Daily Caller News Foundation

With Biden's term running out, even more taxpayer-funded aid headed to Ukraine * WorldNetDaily * by Mariane Angela, Daily Caller News Foundation: 

With just 24 days left in office, the Biden administration is set to announce an additional $1.25 billion in military aid to Ukraine, according to the Associated Press, citing U.S. officials. The Biden administration aims to bolster Ukraine's defenses against Russia before President Biden leaves office on Jan. 20, according to AP. The package earmarks resources for munitions, enhancing Ukraine's air defense capabilities with National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems and HAWK systems that also include Stinger missiles along with 155 mm and 105 mm artillery rounds, said officials who requested anonymity ahead of a public announcement scheduled for Monday.

20 (or So) Obvious Questions about January 6 - American Thinker

Even before Donald Trump ascends to the presidency on January 20, his appointees should ask themselves the questions that follow — all of them simple and straightforward.  -  Jack Cashill 

With Christopher Wray stepping down from the FBI directorship, they will have a much better chance of getting straight answers quickly.
Trump’s team should then share those answers widely...

• Although now the FBI admits to having 26 confidential human sources in the crowd on January 6, how many total “assets” did the FBI and other entities plant, and what roles did they play?
• For what entity was Ray Epps working and under what terms?
• Who planted the pipe bombs outside the DNC and near the RNC headquarters?r-the-counter pepper spray?
• Has there been an official inquiry into the subsequent suicide deaths of four USCP officers, and if not, why has the DOJ routinely blamed the J6ers for causing those deaths?
• Why was there no crime scene investigation in the likely homicide of Rosanne Boyland?...

Yes. They distorted the word "insurrection" specifically to keep the people's choice from becoming President!-----Congress does not have to accept Trump's electoral votes

Congress has the power to block Trump from taking office, but lawmakers must act now 

The Constitution provides that an oath-breaking insurrectionist is ineligible to be president. 

This is the plain wording of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. 

“No person shall … hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath … to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.” 

This disability can be removed by a two-thirds vote in each House.
Disqualification is based on insurrection against the Constitution and not the government. 

• The evidence of Donald Trump’s engaging in such insurrection is overwhelming. 

The matter has been decided in three separate forums, two of which were fully contested with the active participation of Trump’s counsel...

Merry Christmas, Tony: Fauci Loses Wildly Over-Priced Taxpayer-Funded Security for New Year: 

The former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases indeed had a massive federally funded security detail, costing the taxpayers $15 million between January 2023 and September 2024 alone, according to a federal memo obtained by Open The Books. Now that the government funding has expired, Fauci appears to have shelled out for his own security services.

Large fossil fuel companies will now have to hand over punitive reparations to help New York fight the effects of “climate change” under a bill signed Thursday by Gov. Kathy Hochul (D). - Simon Kent

• “The Climate Change Superfund Act is now law, and New York has fired a shot that will be heard round the world: the companies most responsible for the climate crisis will be held accountable,” said state Sen. Liz Krueger, a Democrat who sponsored the bill.
• “The planet’s largest climate polluters bear a unique responsibility for creating the climate crisis, and they must pay their fair share to help regular New Yorkers deal with the consequences,” Krueger further warned...

'It's ridiculous': Trump border czar has plan for 'super' sanctuary county wanting to shield its criminal migrants from feds * WorldNetDaily * by Jason Hopkins, Daily Caller News Foundation

'It's ridiculous': Trump border czar has plan for 'super' sanctuary county wanting to shield its criminal migrants from feds * WorldNetDaily * by Jason Hopkins, Daily Caller News Foundation: 

Tom Homan, the incoming border czar for the Trump administration, has a plan to deal with a major jurisdiction that recently doubled down on a statewide sanctuary law. Earlier in December, the Democrat-controlled San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted to expand on a California sanctuary policy that already limits local law enforcement's ability to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The county-wide ordinance now prohibits law enforcement from notifying ICE agents, even in cases when a foreign national has committed severe crimes such as as rape, child abuse, burglary, gang violence or other heinous acts.

State suicide!

 

Government authorized $65B to expand broadband. 3 years later, not a SINGLE person has been connected. Here’s why government fails, again and again, to build things

Why Government Can’t Build Broadband or Charging Stations…Or Anything! - John Stossel@JohnStossel
Why Government Can’t Build Broadband or Charging Stations…Or Anything!
The gov't promised to expand broadband, build hundreds of thousands of EV chargers, and semiconductor jobs.

• They delivered delays, waste, and failure. 
• Why? 
• Because they spend your money, not their own.

All are true!

 

"Lower insurance rates"??-----Democrats failure to pass driver’s licenses for undocumented immigrants leaves advocates devastated

Advocates are left frustrated after state Democratic lawmakers' failure to pass that legislation in their final days of total control. - Michael Kransz | mkransz@mlive.com 

That effort failed again despite the Democratic trifecta of state government control.

“We’re devastated,” said Yvonne Navarrete, policy director at We the People Michigan. “There’s just been years of efforts from undocumented organizers and from our nonprofit coalition, and for all of that effort to not come to fruition in the final moments due to lack of leadership and lack of organization amongst the Democratic Party, it’s disappointing.”...

Proponents have said the measure would 

• lower insurance rates, 
• ensure those behind the wheel are qualified and 
• allow all Michigan residents to drive to their jobs, take their kids to school, get groceries and complete other life necessities without fear of deportation or jail time.
