Democrats Vow To Continue Their Unhinged Trump Investigations

By William Teach February 2, 2020 – 8:16 am

As if they haven’t given Team Trump and the GOP enough material for campaign commercials and converted enough voters over from voting Democrat/not voting Trump to voting Trump, they want more

Democrats Vow Trump Probes to Go On After Impeachment Trial Ends

President Donald Trump’s scrutiny by Congress won’t end with his expected acquittal in the Senate. House Democrats have a list of inquiries they plan to pursue when the impeachment saga is over.

“The investigations and oversight will continue,” said Representative Carolyn Maloney of New York, head of the Oversight and Reform Committee, the lead investigative panel in the House. “We’ve got several cases.”

Democratic-led committees in the House will keep seeking a wide range of evidence and testimony as they look into Trump’s administration, his policies and his businesses and finances. They also plan to keep a focus on his conduct in dealing with Ukraine.

In addition, there are multiple court cases running on separate tracks seeking access to his tax returns, testimony from former White House officials and financial records to show whether the president is unlawfully profiting from foreign governments. Three of the cases will be considered by the U.S. Supreme Court in the spring.

This all will be occurring in the middle of a election campaign in which both parties will be fighting for control of the White House and both chambers of Congress.

This really is all they have

Representative Kevin McCarthy of California, the House Republican leader, said he has no doubt that House Democrats will now intensify their Trump investigations. “That’s their only agenda,” he said.

Seriously, do they want to talk about their Modern Socialism agenda? Government running their healthcare, rationing their energy, telling citizens where they can live, what they can drive, and where they can travel? About all they higher taxes they want to impose? Unfettered illegal immigration? Etc? They sure do not want to talk about the great stock market, record low unemployment, historic high levels of Black employment. Negotiating economic treaties that put the U.S.A. on a level playing field, giving our products better access to foreign markets. Whacking terrorists. And so much more great that Trump has done

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi isn’t saying whether House Democrats will specifically pursue Ukraine-related testimony and evidence their impeachment managers were unable to obtain during the trial. That includes hearing from former National Security Advisor John Bolton.

She told reporters Thursday that “we do believe there is more truth for the American people to know.”

Then maybe they shouldn’t have rushed the first unhinged impeachment through. Of course, the more they do this, the more Team Trump and the GOP bring up what Sleazy Joe Biden was doing, and since the Democrats are again attempting to hose Comrade Bernie out of the nomination, Biden will look very skeezy.

Meanwhile, CNN is vexed

Surprise: Warmist Economist Wants To Totally Change Capitalist Economic System

By William Teach February 1, 2020 – 3:23 pm

Funny how so many Warmists want to get rid of capitalismn to achieve their cultish goals. They never quite want to say what they want to replace it with, though, just that they hate capitalism, as they use their smartphones, tablets, and computers while wearing their mass produced clothes from around the world eating their avocado toast sipping on over-priced coffee

Opinion: What Trump and Mnuchin understand: Climate-change denial is the only authentic defense of our absurd capitalist ideology

Steven Mnuchin, President Donald Trump’s treasury secretary, outraged liberal commentators at this year’s World Economic Forum meeting in Davos with a snide remark directed at teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg. (snip)

I, too, could not contain myself after Mnuchin’s Davos remark. I tweeted this:

See, he’s not real happy with capitalism

But Trump and his cabal appear to understand something that their liberal detractors do not: One cannot acknowledge the perils of climate change, commit to doing whatever it takes to reverse it, and continue to think of capitalism as a natural system that can be tweaked to deliver shared, green prosperity.

Trump gets it: climate change is capitalism’s Waterloo. There is simply no feasible path toward the re-stabilization of the climate that is consistent with the maintenance of capitalism’s main pillars.

The system we live in, unlike the one implied by college economics textbooks, turns on a pathological dynamic recycling mechanism: Oligopolies extract exhaustible value from humans and nature at breakneck speed, financed by debt-turbocharged financialization, which in turn fuels the extractive oligopolies.

and

Uncouth and disagreeable, Trumpism is nonetheless an honest manifestation of the historic moment when late capitalism pushed humanity past the point of no return. Trump urges us to carry on, while Mnuchin suggests that Thunberg numb her soul with the opium of mainstream economics.

The only alternative to their policy of accelerated climate change, to the oil and finance curses that drive capitalism, is the wholesale disintegration of today’s technostructure. Do we have the stomach for it?

So, he wants to change the entire system, but, too what? Warmists just don’t usually like to say that they want the Central Government in charge.

CBC Imagines A Link Between ‘Climate Change’ And Coronavirus

By William Teach February 1, 2020 – 11:00 am

Is anyone surprised?

https://twitter.com/Over400ppm/status/1223440799825874945

See, they have no idea whether this is all your fault for driving to a steak house last week, but, they’ll fear-monger on it anyway. From the link

We still don’t know where the 2019 novel coronavirus came from. The leading suspicion is an animal host – a bat, likely – infected another animal that has more contact with humans.

That’s how the 2012 MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) outbreak is believed to have played out. A bat, at some point in the past, infected a camel, which may have sneezed on a human.

One of the reasons the human and animal worlds are bumping up against each other is a changing climate. Research suggests that warmer winters and springs are keeping bats, for example, around longer because the insects they feed on also like the warmth. And this may affect the spread of diseases bats carry.

“Climate change, coupled with other human environmental changes like urbanization and habitat destruction, is bringing us closer to wildlife,” said Dr. Katie Clow, a professor at the Ontario Veterinary College at the University of Guelph. “So there’s this very complex interplay of many different changes happening all at the same time.”

The horror of a minimal 1.5F increase in global temperatures since 1850. Expect more fear mongering.

St. Greta Looks To Force Africa To Comply With Her Dictates

By William Teach February 1, 2020 – 7:44 am

Most nations on the continent of Africa are what as known as “developing nations”, which often means “3rd world sh*tholes”. Not all. But, if you want them to develop, you don’t put massive restrictions on them. St. Greta is, like most Warmists, a dictator at heart who demands that Other People comply

Greta Thunberg seeks Africa climate change action

Teen activist Greta Thunberg has hosted a press conference to stress the importance of how climate change is affecting people in Africa.

One of those taking part was Vanessa Nakate, a Ugandan at the centre of a race row at Davos last week.

She was angered after she was cropped out of a photograph taken with her white peers, including Ms Thunberg.

She said activists in Africa campaigned as much as their counterparts elsewhere but were often ignored by the media.

“This is the time for the world to listen to the activists from Africa and to pay attention to their stories,” Ms Nakate told journalists via a video link from Uganda’s capital, Kampala.

“This is an opportunity for media to actually do some justice to the climate issues in Africa.”

The other part of climate justice for Africa is a massive transfer of wealth from 1st World Nations to African nations, wealth that comes with zero strings attached because, per climate justice doctrine, the 1st World Nations owe the 3rd World ones.

The event was organised in the Swedish capital, Stockholm, by Ms Thunberg’s #FridaysForFuture movement, which she started in August 2018 inspiring millions around the world to demand more be done to stop climate change.

The 17-year-old said she wanted to use the media attention she attracted to focus on climate change in Africa as “the African perspective is so under-reported”.

That’s not patronizing at all. But, hey, St. Greta will get lots of money as she trademarks Fridays For Future, eh?

Trump Administration Declares Public Health Emergency For Coronavirus

By William Teach February 1, 2020 – 7:32 am

Friday the Washington Post was whining

Democrats Call For Trump To Do Something On Coronavirus

And today

Trump administration announces mandatory quarantines in response to coronavirus

The Trump administration on Friday dramatically escalated its response to the fast-spreading coronavirus epidemic by announcing quarantines and major travel restrictions that officials said were meant to limit contagion.

The measures, which could affect thousands of people around the world, represented a marked expansion of the federal government’s response after initially downplaying potential risks.

The White House declared a “public health emergency” and — beginning on Sunday at 5 p.m. — will bar non-U.S. citizens who recently visited China from entering the United States, subject to a few exemptions. Shortly after the White House announced the new restrictions and said there were six confirmed U.S. cases, a seventh case was confirmed in Santa Clara County, Calif.

Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar also said the Trump administration would quarantine any Americans who had visited China’s Hubei province, where the disease originated, within the past 14 days. The government will also require screening and self-quarantines for all other Americans who recently visited any other parts of China. Officials said the self-quarantine rules would require individuals to stay in their homes for a certain length of time, monitor themselves for certain symptoms such as coughing, and check their temperatures and report them to local health officials.

The new travel and quarantine measures, which appeared to be unprecedented on such a scale, were part of a rapidly evolving international response to the growing health scare. For the first time Friday, U.S. officials acknowledged that screening tests for coronavirus are not always accurate and that people with no symptoms can transmit the virus. New cases were reported Friday in Britain and Russia, and Canada announced its fourth case later in the day.

While Democrats were whining, the Trump administration and the group that was put together to deal with Coronavirus were hard at work crafting a response, particularly since the World Health Organization declared Coronavirus a global health emergency on Thursday.

Of course, now that the Trump admin has Done Something, Democrats whine

Public health experts praised the administration’s decision to declare a public health emergency, which some said was overdue. The emergency declaration gives the government more resources and flexibility to respond to the outbreak. But some experts said that several of the administration’s other actions on Friday were extreme.

“These are extraordinary measures to be implemented at this point,” Ali Khan, former director of the Office of Public Health Preparedness and Response at the CDC, said of restricting foreign nationals. “We’re a global economy, people move, and if you have excellent public health and you are able to combine port-of-entry screening with follow-up of people, there should be no reason to put undue burdens on people around travel.”

Now we await other Democrats to come out with “measured responses” that slam Trump for doing this, and take the side of nutters who want out of quarantine early.

Federal Reserve Has A Role In Fixing The Climate Change (scam)

By William Teach January 31, 2020 – 4:17 pm

Perhaps it’s time for Trump to replace these unelected officials

Fed has a role in combating climate change risk, Powell says

While the overall U.S. response to climate change is up to elected officials, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said on Wednesday, the Fed can play a part in keeping global warming from destabilizing U.S. banks and financial markets.

“The public has every right to expect and will expect that we will ensure that the financial system is resilient and robust against the risks of climate change,” Powell said at a news conference following the Fed’s January meeting.

Asked why the Fed has not joined dozens of other global central banks in the Network for Greening the Financial System, an international effort to better understand risks from rising temperatures, Powell signaled it is just a matter of time.

“We’ve been looking at joining in one form or another … we probably will do that at some point,” Powell said, adding that Fed representatives have been participating in the group’s meetings.

Scientists say human-generated carbon dioxide is a key cause of global warming that has exacerbated wildfire seasons, helped spawn increasingly destructive hurricanes, and initiated a rise in sea level that threatens coastlines around the world.

Apparently, it was you dropping the kids off in a fossil fueled vehicle that started sea rise 20,000 years ago. And that cheeseburger you ate the other day caused the Great Galveston hurricane of 1900. Anyhow, what is the actual role of the Fed?

The Federal Reserve in the United States acts as the country’s central bank. It has a mandate to promote maximum employment, stable prices and moderate long-term interest rates.

The “Fed” has three main functions. They are to provide and maintain an effective payments system, supervise and regulate banking operations, and conduct monetary policy.

But, if the Warmists can gain control if the Fed, it gives them more control of you via control of the economy.
