Rear Admiral Buttgig enjoys the pain at the pump:

“The more pain we are all experiencing from the high price of gas, ​the more benefit there is for those who can access electric vehicles,” Buttigieg told the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee — just before asking Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-Fla.) to “reconsider opposing the reduction of EV upfront prices with tax credits.”

Democrats hope Biden uses the climate to take over and destroy the economy

If there was one lesson the Democrats learned from 2020 forward, it was that, if the government convinces voters there's an emergency, the voters will let the government get away with murder. That's why there is a huge push from the left for Biden to declare a "climate emergency" and, under that rubric, end fossil fuels in America on an accelerated timeline. If Biden were to do this — and to get away with doing it — America is over. Kaput. The great experiment will have ended.

The Washington Post seems to have been first with the story. I don't have, and won't get, a subscription to that rag, but Ryan Maue sums up the madness:

President Biden to declare a national "climate emergency" to fight global warming.

With the climate agenda stalled in Congress, the White House is being urged by climate activists to take unilateral and authoritarian actions.

Biden could declare climate emergency as soon as this week, sources say
White House officials are scrambling to advance the president’s environmental agenda after talks with Sen. Joe Manchin III (D-WV)

Ryan Maue
@RyanMaue
In a blueprint, the Center for Biological Diversity outlined executive actions under a "climate emergency"

Halt crude oil exports
Stop oil and gas drilling
Restrict international trade and private investment in fossil fuels
Order defense industry to ramp up clean energy tech

The Hill has also reported on Biden's plans. The very first sentence reminds us why I think any such action should be unconstitutional:

The Biden administration is considering the declaration of a climate change emergency in response to congressional inaction on the issue.

In other words, because the People, through their elected representatives, are not buying into the increasingly hollow claim about an imminent climate disaster, Biden is contemplating an authoritarian attack on the American economy.

We've already seen how Biden's initial attacks on our energy industry, through the executive orders he signed on his first days in office, have created a rolling economic disaster. When energy prices skyrocket, all prices skyrocket.

The irony, of course, is that the Democrats, who claim to represent the huddled "people of color" masses yearning to breathe free, are implementing economic policies affordable only by the rich white leftists who really make up the Democrat party. Poor minorities, just like poor white people, cannot afford fuel to get to work or to grocery stores, and, if they make it to the stores, they cannot afford to buy food for their families.

But there's an even deeper problem than the economy, believe it or not: the only thing separating our modern era from the pre-modern era is fossil fuel.

Biden Energy Security Official Says Administration Cannot and Will Not Accept or Approve Long-Term Oil and Gas Development

This guy popped up after the trip to Saudi Arabia and has been spouting hypocrisies ever since. In this first segment, White House senior energy adviser Amos Hochstein, in charge of U.S. energy security, says the administration cannot accept or approve any long-term oil and gas development that undermines the urgency of the crisis they are exploiting.

Instead, Hochstein says U.S. energy producers should invest in oil and gas development that turns an immediate profit. [Pro-tip, that doesn’t exist.] Keeping the oil and gas industry in a perpetual state of shortage, overcapacity and expense, allows the “transition” to windmills and solar to remain urgent. Put another way, the energy crisis is part of the plan.

WATCH:


Mr. Hochstein also appeared on Fox News this afternoon to claim that coal is the worst of the worst and must never be used again. When asked about Germany going back to coal to replace Russian gas, Hochstein says that’s a terrible plan. However, Hochstein was never confronted over the stupid part of his anxiety.

Germany is being forced to use coal because Biden/Hochstein have triggered energy sanctions against Russia that stopped the flow of natural gas. Germany is being forced to use the horrible coal because Biden/Hochstein is forcing them to.

In order for ideologues to retain their insane ideological positions, they must pretend not to know things. Unfortunately, we do not have a media that is capable of calling them out on the hypocrisy and challenging the weakness of their positions. Thus, the great pretending continues….

Hmm...whats going away first?

High oil prices, or demonrat control of the country...

If these criminals go through with this, it might be what sparks the next revolutionary war. These traitors might just find themselves swinging from light poles.

One can only hope.

Every year I am more and more surprised that somebody somewhere hasn't yet snapped against the power elite. It seems ever more likely we are headed towards a violent reset because the progressive left just can't ever stop pushing.

I hope I'm wrong, that I'm just another old guy yelling "get off my lawn" thinking the world has gone to hell in a handbasket.

Yeah skin cancer is caused by oil on your wipers in the morning.

Former Vice President BIDIOT gotst the WooHoo flu.

https://www.foxnews.com/politi...ositive-for-covid-19

President Biden has tested positive for COVID-19, the White House said on Thursday.

"This morning, President Biden tested positive for COVID-19," White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a written statement. "He is fully vaccinated and twice boosted and experiencing very mild symptoms. He has begun taking Paxlovid. Consistent with CDC guidelines, he will isolate at the White House and will continue to carry out all of his duties fully during that time. He has been in contact with members of the White House staff by phone this morning, and will participate in his planned meetings at the White House this morning via phone and Zoom from the residence."

Carry out all of his duties? What the hell does he do except screw up everything and take his naps.

The fact that Biden, probably the most protected human being on the planet, has contracted Covid, confirms to me that everyone eventually will get this virus no matter what and will continue to do so. In spite of what we were told and mandated, we are all going to have to live with this and deal with this naturally from now on. I think it’s high time that we refuse to be lied to now. It’s time that we except some basic truths. The virus came from China and it was likely intentionally manufactured. The reaction to its release has largely been a manipulation of the public for suspicious purposes. One of the biggest lies that we should be rejecting is that I am responsible for your well-being and you are responsible for mine. That basic false principal steals individual liberty and self determination from each and everyone of us. If we learn nothing else from this, it is that we are each responsible for our own well-being and our own health decisions. I’m sorry President Biden has Covid, but it serves to illustrate truth which he is very rarely a part of.
