“Sometimes I think I'm watching a Fellini movie, one of those really strange ones where I witness something so bizarre that I think I'm...”

We can't even tell if this movie is a comedy, tragedy, parody, or horror.  The star player can't deliver his lines.  No one is wearing a hat so the players can be heroes and villains at the same time.   And the script is being rewritten in the middle of a scene.   We're in a war that we aren't...

Wind and solar are booming, but emissions aren't falling

“EPA figures show power sector emissions were down 1 percent through the first half of the year.”

Tell us again what the transition to wind and solar generation is supposed to accomplish.  Wind and solar now accounts for 14 pct of electricity generation in the United States.  There's been a lot of money thrown around.  But CO² emissions aren't falling. Is green energy supposed to be about...

Feds send child migrants to NY after Adams' emergency declaration

“It has been absolutely wild, I have never seen anything like this.”

The melting pot is melting down.  Mayor Adams needs more calamine lotion on that backside, he's been bit again. Now we know that Biden has been using Air DeSantis to address the crisis on the southern border.  It's quite telling that Biden delivers his unwanted cargo on Fantasy Island after...

Biden admin begged Saudis to push oil cut until after midterms: report

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  19 Comments  •  4 Likes  •  2 years ago

“Saudi leaders reportedly viewed the request as a "political gambit by the Biden administration to avoid bad news."”

Hey, quid pro Joe is back!  Didn't Biden use a quid pro quo threat against Ukraine not too long ago?  At least that's what Biden was bragging about.  Seems like Biden's strong-arm diplomacy ain't working.  Joe has lost his mojo. C'mon, Joe, everyone knows that you're going to have to take steps...

Ukraine war at a turning point with rapid escalation of conflict

“Both the nature and tempo of the war have changed in recent weeks, as Ukraine’s forces score victories on the ground and Russia retaliates as Putin...”

Apparently we're supposed to be chasing chickens.  The latest developments just don't fit the spin so there's obvious confusion over what pabulum to feed the public. The damage caused to the Nord Stream pipelines and the Kerch bridge aren't an escalation?  And those attacks really do smell of...

Biden: Nuclear 'Armageddon' risk highest since '62 crisis

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  4 Comments  •  2 Likes  •  2 years ago

“I don't think there is any such a thing as the ability to easily use a tactical nuclear weapon and not end up with Armageddon”

Now Joe Biden wants to be the next Jack Kennedy.  You know, Joe, it really does take two to Armageddon.  Biden is making his own veiled threats to use nuclear weapons. As has become typical for the Biden Presidency, Mr. Anonymous Source has to walk back Biden's bluster.  Biden pounds the podium...

Illegal immigrants who entered US since Biden took office to cost taxpayers $20+ billion a year: analysis

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  5 Comments  •  5 Likes  •  2 years ago

“Vice President Kamala Harris claimed that the border is "secure," while calling for amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants.”

Legal immigration already includes a pathway to citizenship.  The need for an amnesty for illegal immigrants to allow a pathway to citizenship means the border is not secure.  The Biden administration (and Democrats) are trying to address the problem of an unsecure border by redefining illegal...

It's Neoliberalism, Stupid: A Millennial's Plea To Break The Status Quo

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  3 Comments  •  2 Likes  •  2 years ago

“I am part of a generation whose quality of life will be worse than those who came before us.”

Yes, it is the neoliberalism, stupid.  But neoliberalism is not about capitalism.  Neoliberalism is about exploitation. Economic disparities are not caused by low taxes.  Taxing income and wealth only allows government to become the sugar daddy that allows money to trickle down.  Economic...

Pelosi says farmers need illegal immigrants 'to pick the crops' in Florida

“We have a shortage of workers in our country”

The political rhetoric by prominent Democrats is timeless.  If only we had not ended the institution of slavery ... Democrats made these same 'economic' arguments to defend (and expand) the institution of slavery.  Slaves did the work that Americans wouldn't do.  And abolishing slavery would...

American Energy Bills Are Set To Soar This Winter

“As the global energy supply squeeze continues, the United States may finally begin to feel some of the squeeze”

As the United States more rapidly transitions to green alternatives, the United States is setting records for production of fossil fuels.  The net effect of increasing use of green alternatives has been to encourage increased consumption of energy.  Hindsight is 20/20.  Perhaps investing more in...
