Dem Fail: Majority Of Voters Do Not Want Trump Impeached Or Removed

By William Teach December 11, 2019 – 7:53 am

After beating the bandwagon with Russia Russia Russia since the moment Trump was elected, after yammering about impeaching him and how Orange Man Bad all this time, saying how he is doing such bad things, after the hysteria over the Mueller report, even refusing to give up after it was a big dud, and now after Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine, the quid pro quo and bribery stuff, all the hearings, having the media in their corner, we still end with

Majority of voters don’t want Trump impeached, removed from office: poll

A majority of voters now oppose impeaching and ousting President Trump from office, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Tuesday — the same day Democrats unveiled articles of impeachment against the commander in chief.

The poll found that 51% of registered voters surveyed said they don’t want to see Trump impeached and removed from office — compared to 45% who do.

Answers were split along party lines, with 83% of those who said they want the president impeached identifying as Democrats, and 95% who said they don’t identifying as Republicans.

The last time more than 50% opposed impeachment was when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi launched the inquiry in late September.

The poll released Tuesday was conducted between Dec. 4 and 9, during the series of House Judiciary Committee public hearing and after the House Intelligence Committee hearings.

It’s interesting that 17% of Democrats do not want impeachment, as the number used to be higher. More will peel away. Independents oppose impeachment 52-44. The more the Dems talk, the more the polls shift.

In the same poll, Trump doesn’t doing well on the “handling X” questions except for the one that matters: the economy. 54% approve, 42% disapprove. Even the Never Trumpers aren’t dissing him, as 97% of Republicans approve. On the Dem side, 79% disapprove, of course, but, looking at independents, 54% approve/39% disapprove. Those are good numbers for Trump. The economy is where elections are made. Not climate change, not Medicare for All, not foreign policy, it’s the economy. Bread and Butter issues.

And the poll goes on to note that

So, the 69% say the economy is good to excellent. Even 50% of Democrats say that. 68% of Independents saying it helps Trump. Never underestimate the power of a good economy in a presidential election, whether they had anything to do with it or not. Hence why the Credentialed Media was beating the “OMG, a recession is coming!!!!” drum.

Bummer: Exxon Found Not Guilty In ‘Climate Change’ Lawsuit

By William Teach December 10, 2019 – 5:02 pm

This whole #ExxonKnew garbage has been going on for four years, with numerous attorney generals throwing suit after suit at the wall, but nowhere worse than NY State

Exxon found not guilty in New York climate-change securities fraud trial, ending 4-year saga

New York’s Attorney General failed to prove that Exxon mislead shareholders over the true cost of climate change, a judge ruled Tuesday, ending the oil giant’s multiyear battle against the state.

“The Office of the Attorney General failed to prove, by a preponderance of the evidence, that ExxonMobil made any material misstatements or omissions about its practices and procedures that misled any reasonable investor,” Judge Barry Ostrager of the trial-level state Supreme Court wrote in his ruling.

“The office of the Attorney General produced no testimony from any investor who claimed to have been misled by any disclosure, even though the Office of the Attorney General had previously represented it would call such individuals as trial witnesses,” he added.

The $1.6 billion lawsuit brought by the New York attorney general’s office alleged that Exxon deceived investors about the true cost of climate change. The trial, which began in October and was the first climate fraud lawsuit to go to trial, was the result of a four-year investigation.

Despite this tilting at wind turbines mills, NY wants to piss away more money

“Despite this decision, we will continue to fight to ensure companies are held responsible for actions that undermine and jeopardize the financial health and safety of Americans across our country, and we will continue to fight to end climate change,” Attorney General Letitia James said in a statement following the verdict.

This is all so bad that even at the usually reliable Democrat NY Daily News they’ve had enough, as Tom Stebbins notes

Calling the lawsuit “meritless,” “bizarre,” “twisted” and outside the realm of “objectivity and fairness” at the trial’s opening arguments, Exxon’s lawyer, Theodore Wells Jr., defended the company against the AG’s demand for up to $1.6 billion in payouts. Lawyers for the AG lobbed allegations that ExxonMobil has deceived the public and investors for years by misrepresenting financial risks related to current and future climate change-related regulations. The case, said Wells, was the result of a “political alliance with activists for the purpose of advancing an agenda.”

Stebbins discusses how we got here, starting with disgraced NY AG Eric Schneiderman using “…the Martin Act, a near-century old financial fraud statute — referred to as the “state’s most notorious” and “due-process-neglecting law”. And, as time went on and Exxon refused to back down as most companies do, the charges and accusations changed, as did the AG, to Barbara Underwood, who might have been even more unhinged over this.

Truth is, tarnishing the company in the court of public opinion is what Schneiderman and his allies were after all along. If that isn’t abuse of that Martin Act, one of the nation’s most powerful laws, I don’t know what is.

Yet, interestingly, the State Of New York refuses to give up their own use of fossil fuels. This was all about politics from members of the Cult of Climastrology, and, it is also interesting that just about every single Hotcoldwetdry suit filed, whether civil or criminal, fails.

But, refer back to the line about continuing to fight. They might not come after Exxon any time soon, but, Exxon should keep their eyes open, as should other companies and citizens who are ripe to be bullied by Government.

Washington Post Is Upset That Trump Didn’t Freak Out Over Pensacola Shooting

By William Teach December 10, 2019 – 10:30 am

Now, had President Trump freaked out over the shooting in Pensacola, the same Washington Post Editorial Board would have also Blamed him for that. It’s really a no win situation

Trump’s reaction to Pensacola was insensitive and insufficient

PRESIDENT TRUMP’S reaction to the murderous rampage in Pensacola, Fla., on Friday by an officer of the Royal Air Force of Saudi Arabia was insensitive and grossly insufficient. Three American servicemen lost their lives and eight were wounded by a Saudi wielding a 9mm Glock 45 pistol in a killing rampage that the FBI says is being investigated as terrorism. What does the president say? He finds it “shocking” and conveys the condolences of “very, very devastated” King Salman of Saudi Arabia and his son, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and adds that the kingdom will “help out the families very greatly.”

Not a word from Mr. Trump about the threat of terrorism, or a shred of curiosity about motives and whether the Saudi officer was radicalized and by whom, or a thought about what Saudi Arabia could do to help investigate the shooter, or perhaps a lament that a pilot, a guest of the United States, would carry out such a horrific assault on his hosts, or even a worry about where the 21-year-old officer got the weapon. Mr. Trump quickly pivoted to say there were a lot of countries participating in the aviator training program. He often performs this pivot, a telltale dodge. “There are a lot of killers,” he said once when asked about a leader who dispatches assassins abroad. “I think there is blame on both sides,” he said after Charlottesville.

Mr. Trump has an inexplicable blind spot for Saudi Arabia. He has no trouble insulting in the vilest way people from other Muslim countries. He is hostile generally to people from “shithole” countries. After a terrorist attack in London, he said on Twitter, “These animals are crazy and must be dealt with through toughness and strength!” But when a Saudi carries out an attack on a U.S. military base, Mr. Trump becomes a spokesman and apologist for the king.

So, President Trump decided to actually wait for all the facts before speaking out, and is criticized for it. I don’t remember the WPEB freaking out at Mr. Obama after a real terrorist attack by a Muslim extremist, Nidal Hasan, at Fort Hood, which Obama called “workplace violence” rather than terrorism.

Apparently, the WPEB missed all the reports that this might not be Islamist terrorism, but, someone who utterly lost their shit

(WKRG) According to a report obtained by the New York Times, NAS Pensacola gunman Mohammed Alshamrani was “infuriated” after one of his instructors gave him a derogatory nickname.

The complaint, quoted in a communication circulated among people connected to the flight training, said that the instructor referred to Alshamrani as “Porn Stash” — spelled that way in the report — in front of about 10 other aviation students, embarrassing and angering him, according to the New York Times.

According to the New York Times, the incident happened in April, and it appears to have been upsetting enough that two American students in the class helped him file his complaint.

It could still be terrorism based on Islamist principles, or, it could be someone who was just unhinged. No matter what Trump does, the WPEB and other unhinged Trump haters will find a way to hate on Trump.

‘Climate Change’ Policies Could Wipe Out $2.3 Trillion In Global Stocks

By William Teach December 10, 2019 – 7:48 am

Whomever wrote the headline failed to read the article

Climate change could wipe $2.3 trillion off global stocks

Policies designed to combat climate change could permanently slash the value of companies around the world by up to $2.3 trillion.

That’s according to a new report from Principles for Responsible Investment that examines how “inevitable” policies such as banning internal combustion engines will affect stock prices.

The analysis concludes that up to $2.3 trillion, or 4.5%, could be wiped off the value of companies listed on a global stock index from MSCI. The report was prepared by Vivid Economics and Energy Transition Advisers.

Most of that would come from the energy sector and the auto sector. It might not seem like a lot in the overall scheme of international economics, but, that would trickle around the economy, harming people’s retirement funds, and causing an increase in consumer pricing.

But there are also opportunities for investors. Companies that adapt to changing policies would see their combined share prices increase by hundreds of billions of dollars, according to the UN-backed group.

In other words, companies should dupe investors and consumers by making claims that they are Doing Something about ‘climate change’ in feel good campaigns all while they ship products made in China all around the world via fossil fueled vehicles, planes, and boats. Meanwhile, Warmists in Europe are coming after shipping

European shipping emissions undermining international climate targets

Greenhouse gas emissions from shipping equal the carbon footprint of a quarter of passenger cars in Europe and stand in the way of countries reducing emissions and limiting runaway global heating, analysis reveals.

Despite the scale of shipping emissions from both container and cruise ships, they are not part of emissions reduction targets made by countries as part of the Paris agreement on climate change.

In France, Germany, UK, Spain, Sweden and Finland shipping emissions in 2018 were larger than the emissions from all the passenger cars registered in 10 or more of the largest cities in each country, according to the report published on Monday from Transport and Environment, a Brussels-based NGO. (snip)

“To make shipping do its fair share, Europe must bring shipping into its carbon market and mandate CO2 standards for all ships calling at its ports.”

So, what do they want to do? Obviously, banning shipping will mean a massive loss of products for Europe. It appears that they want to slap big fees on the shippers, which will just be passed down to the consumers. Good luck with this.

Democrats Articles Of Impeachment May Not Include Bribery Or Quid Pro Quo

By William Teach December 10, 2019 – 7:26 am

As Rep. Doug Collins of Georgia (R) said about this “They can’t get over the fact that Donald Trump is the president of the United States, and they don’t have a candidate that can beat him.” They’ve been working towards this since Trump won the election, and now we get

Dems expected to announce at least 2 articles of impeachment against Trump on Tuesday

House Democrats are preparing to announce at least two articles of impeachment against President Trump on Tuesday, Fox News has learned.

The articles of impeachment will focus on obstruction of Congress and abuse of power, but all details aren’t settled yet, Fox News is told. A markup session by the Judiciary Committee to prepare the articles would come either Wednesday or Thursday.

Notably absent from the planned charges was a “bribery” count. Democrats had repeatedly accused the president of essentially bribing Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden, and even floated the idea of drafting an article of impeachment to that effect. But, it quickly emerged that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee had conducted focus groups to determine that Democrats should use the term “bribery” purely for political benefit, even as legal experts disputed whether Trump had bribed anyone.

So, obstruction of a partisan political inquiry that wouldn’t have happened if Democrats (and right leaning NeverTrumpers) weren’t so unhinged, obsessed, and deranged. We’ll have to see how abuse of power shakes down in relation to the accusation of quid pro quo. Remember, the Democratic Party run House Judiciary Committee released a report Saturday in which it argued that a president may be impeached for “illegitimate motives” even if his actions are “legally permissible.” The report states: “The question is not whether the President’s conduct could have resulted from permissible motives. It is whether the President’s real reasons, the ones in his mind at the time, were legitimate.”

Democrats should remember that they have now set the bar that Politics 101 is now grounds for impeachment, and shouldn’t be surprised if Republicans do the same thing against a sitting Democrat president. Though, they won’t, because they aren’t stupid. Speaking of stupid

Bummer: UN Climate Hysteria Meeting Failing To Address Climate Apocalypse

By William Teach December 9, 2019 – 4:10 pm

Well, they’re having too much fun in the great vacation spot of Madrid. Good food, good wine, good friends, paid for by the taxpayers

UN climate talks failing to address urgency of crisis, says top scientist

Urgent UN talks on tackling the climate emergency are still not addressing the true scale of the crisis, one of the world’s leading climate scientists has warned, as high-ranking ministers from governments around the world began to arrive in Madrid for the final days of negotiations.

Talks are focusing on some of the rules for implementing the 2015 Paris agreement, but the overriding issue of how fast the world needs to cut greenhouse gas emissions has received little official attention.

“We are at risk of getting so bogged down in incremental technicalities at these negotiations that we forget to see the forest for the trees,” said Johan Rockström, joint director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. “There is a risk of disappointment in the UN process because of the inability to recognise that there is an emergency.”

Perhaps they should consider that people care in theory, not in practice

The stately pace of negotiations was in stark contrast with the scenes outside the conference in Madrid, where on Friday evening more than 500,000 people marched through the Spanish capital led by the Swedish school striker Greta Thunberg. Protests continued through the weekend, with Extinction Rebellion and groups from across the world. On Monday, Thunberg and other youth activists will hold meetings with officials inside the conference.

Now, go out and fully explain to those protesters how much they will end up paying out of their own pockets and how much their freedom, liberty, and choice will be restricted, and see how many walk away.

We’re One Step Closer To A Space Force

By William Teach December 9, 2019 – 10:29 am

But, not really worth it

White House, Democrats strike tentative deal to create Space Force in exchange for federal parental-leave benefits: report

The White House and House Democrats have reportedly reached a tentative deal to authorize the creation of the Space Force, a priority for the Trump administration first outlined in an executive order by the president earlier this year.

The Washington Post reported Sunday that Democrats and White House negotiators had struck a bargain that would authorize the creation of the agency in exchange for a policy establishing 12 weeks of paid parental leave time for federal workers.

It isn’t clear if the plan will be able to win enough Republican support to pass the Senate, according to the Post, but the plan appears to have the backing of both President Trump and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), a rare moment of compromise amid the House’s impeachment hearings.

“Trump doesn’t like the so-called ‘deep state’ and I doubt that he’s going to bed at night saying, ‘Look what I did for federal workers,’ Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va.) told the Post. “But it was a trade-off for him. And it’s good policy.”

Guess who gets to pay for all this? Must be nice to take a job where you know what the benefits are then get government to provide you with more benefits that Someone Else pays for.

Per U.N., ‘Climate Change’ And Technologies Are The Modern Day Wedges Between Haves And Have-nots

By William Teach December 9, 2019 – 7:18 am

We can solve this with a tax, you know. Also, this is all your fault for having that nice computer, tablet, and smartphone. Oh, and you have those WiFi lightbulbs? And and Alexa or Google Home device? Even worse!

New inequalities created by climate change and tech, says UN

A new generation of global inequalities driven by climate change and technology could trigger violence and political instability if left unchecked, the United Nations has warned.

Climate change and technology rather than wealth and income are the modern-day wedges that are increasingly dividing the haves from the have-nots, said the UN Development Programme (UNDP) in its 2019 Human Development Report.

These forms of inequality are rising as progress has been made in more traditional measures of inequality such as extreme poverty and disease, it said.

“Under the shadow of the climate crisis and sweeping technological change, inequalities in human development are taking new forms,” the report said.

“The climate crisis is already hitting the poorest hardest, while technological advances such as machine learning and artificial intelligence can leave behind entire groups of people, even countries.”

Allowing these new inequalities to grow could be “extremely dangerous and highly volatile,” said UNDP Administrator Achim Steiner.

So, obviously, Government must Do Something. Because otherwise

“Across the rich and emerging countries and also developing countries where a middle class has emerged, their reactions are increasingly violent,” he told the Thomson Reuters Foundation in advance of the report’s release.

“If not managed well and practically, it will essentially manifest itself in what we see on the evening news – burning cars, burning buildings, burning infrastructure, millions of people in the streets protesting and overthrowing governments.”

Street protests have filled the news of late, in Hong Kong, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Chile, Bolivia, Venezuela and elsewhere over an array of issues including rising prices, government policies, corruption and pro-democracy movements.

So……government must control all this so that people do not protest rising prices from government policies (such as gas prices in France from ‘climate change’ policies), government corruption, and, good grief, the protesters might want democracy? That’s horrible!!!!!! We must stop them with more government policies, corruption, and anti-democracy/big government.
