Yet Another Poll Shows Americans Support Florida’s Parental Rights Bill

By William Teach April 13, 2022 – 7:00 am

Do you actually want to fight against parental rights and for teaching children adult sexual issues, groomers?

Americans Back Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” Bill: Golden/TIPP Poll

Most Americans back Florida’s “Parental Rights in Education Bill.” A plurality also thinks it is inappropriate to call the bill the “Don’t Say Gay” law. These are the key findings from a Golden/TIPP Poll completed last Friday.

The national poll of 1,305 adults asked Americans the following question: “The Governor of Florida signed the “Parental Rights in Education bill,” forbidding classroom instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity from kindergarten through third grade. To what extent do you agree or disagree?”

The responses are as follows.

  • 37% Agree strongly,
  • 20% Agree somewhat,
  • 11% Disagree somewhat,
  • 20% Disagree strongly, and
  • 12% Not sure.

So, 57% agree, 31% disagree. 20% want to groom young children into adult sexual topics, messing them up for life.

Interestingly, a majority, irrespective of party affiliations and ideologies, backed the bill, except for liberals. The support by party and ideology:

  • 51% of Democrats,
  • 73% of Republicans,
  • 54% of Independents,
  • 80% of conservatives,
  • 51% of moderates, and
  • 42% of liberals.

So, even a majority of Democrats agree with protecting children and involving parents. The 54% if Independents doesn’t bode well for the upcoming elections. I’d also like to know who the 27% of idiot Republicans are against parental rights and protecting children. I suppose a lot of them work for/support groups like The Bulwark and The Lincoln Project (they love molesting little boys). Others who were driven insane by Donald Trump, and now Ron DeSantis.

The poll also finds that, by 47-38, Americans find calling it “don’t say gay” is inappropriate.

Disney might want to reconsider their taking the side of groomers

(Breitbart) The Disney brand has taken a huge hit among American parents, with a majority of independents saying they “no longer trust” the company’s programming for their children in the wake of Disney pursing an aggressive LGBTQIA2S+ agenda, as well as the company’s opposition to anti-grooming legislation in Florida.

A new Issues & Insights/TIPP Poll asked 1,305 adults across America, “As a result of the recent stories, how much trust would you place in Disney’s programming for your children, assuming you have any?”

The results of the poll revealed that a majority of independents no longer trust the company, with 52 percent saying they don’t trust Disney’s designs on their children, and only 42 percent saying they do.

Why can’t we just let kids be kids, and not force the insanity upon them?

Eye Destruction: Climate Cultist Lizzo Takes Another Private Fossil Fueled Plan

By William Teach April 12, 2022 – 3:00 pm

I’m feeling a bit Evil today. If I had to suffer through this, you do

Climate Crusader Lizzo Poses While Boarding (Another) Private Jet

Pop star, Joe Biden Presidential campaign surrogate, and climate change hardliner Lizzo posed in a tiny thong, showing off her buttocks while boarding another private jet on Sunday.

Lizzo posted a video to her 12 million Instagram followers that showed her boarding a jet clad in an outfit that put her entire behind on display. The grammy-winner tweeted Monday about being in New York City to host Saturday Night Live. (snip)

Last year, Lizzo performed at Global Citizen Live, a music event with a goal to rise awareness on climate change, among other issues.

Global Citizen urges countries to reduce their national emissions, and calls on developed nations to spend $100 billion annually on environmental issues in developing countries, according to its website.

In 2019, the pop star posted to her Instagram account an image of a climate change-related protest, which included a sign that read, “I just took a DNA test turns out I’m 100% freaking terrified for our future,” along with the hashtag, “Climate Strike.”

And, the article has multiple photos of this climahypocrite taking private jet flights. Or, at least posing in all her fatness in front of them.

For the first time ever, I will give you a trigger warning for what’s below the fold

Biden To Waive E15 Gas Rules For The Summer Or Something

By William Teach April 12, 2022 – 10:30 am

This is a case of pretending to do something to help that really won’t help

Biden waiving ethanol rule in bid to lower gasoline prices

Biden Brain SuckerPresident Joe Biden is visiting corn-rich Iowa on Tuesday to announce he’ll suspend a federal rule preventing the sale of higher ethanol blend gasoline this summer as his administration tries to tamp down prices at the pump that have spiked during Russia’s war with Ukraine.

Most gasoline sold in the U.S. is blended with 10% ethanol. The Environmental Protection Agency will issue an emergency waiver to allow widespread sale of 15% ethanol blend that is usually prohibited between June 1 and Sept. 15 because of concerns that it adds to smog in high temperatures.

Senior Biden administration officials said the move will save drivers an average of 10 cents per gallon at 2,300 gas stations. Industry groups say most of those stations are in the Midwest and the South, including Texas.

OK, who has the Gas Buddy app on their phone? If not, hit up their website. Now Find Gas. Choose your zip, type of gas is UNL88. How many stations do you have? In Raleigh there are a grand total of 3. Which, yes, saves about 10 cents. You supposedly get slightly better fuel economy for reduced power. Why not just turn on your econ button? Will makers have time to make more E15? Will they bother to make it when it’s not used that much to start with in most areas? Motortrend noted in 2021

Interestingly, in August 2012, there was only one gas station (out of 150,000) in the U.S. that sold E15 for regular vehicles. Today, almost a decade later? In addition to the QuikTrip outlet in Dallas, Texas, where we found E15 at the pump, there are still fewer than 2,000 retail distributors across 31 states.

So, really, this whole plan will barely make a dent in the price of gas. You know what would? Allowing more drilling in the U.S.

It’s also reported to be not good for any vehicle 2012 and earlier.

Further, is it a good idea to use more food for fuel? Both the NY Times and Washington Post have come out against it in the past. Speaking of the NY Times

March Inflation Report Is Expected to Show Price Increases Getting Worse

The government’s latest inflation report is expected to show that consumer prices increased 8.4 percent in the year through March, the fastest rate since 1982, propelled by rising gasoline costs and higher rents — expenses that are stretching budgets and undermining confidence in the U.S. economy.

Now, if Trump or any Republican was in the White House, it would be about undermining confidence in them. And that’s really why Brandon is pushing his almost worthless E15 waiver, because of inflation. It won’t help, but, his people can say it is.

Large Majorities Support Climate (scam) Policies Or Something

By William Teach April 12, 2022 – 7:15 am

Of course, most of the support are for policies that give them tax breaks and money

Gallup Poll: Big majorities back range of climate change policies

Americans decisively support a series of six policy proposals to fight climate change backed by the Biden administration, according to a Gallup Poll released Monday.

The poll results showed that by varying degrees, solid majorities of U.S. residents back such climate proposals as providing tax credits for installing home clean energy systems to spending federal money on constructing electric vehicle charging stations.

At the high end of the scale, 89% of respondents favored the clean energy tax credit idea, while the least favorable response was the 59% who backed federal spending on charging stations, Gallup reported.

In between, the pollsters found that 75% backed providing tax incentives to businesses to promote their use of wind, solar and nuclear power and 71% supported setting higher fuel efficiency standards for cars, trucks and buses.

Also, 62% favored establishing strict limits on the release of methane in the production of natural gas, while 61% backed providing tax credits to individuals who purchase electric vehicles.

I wonder how supportive they’ll be when the price of vehicles goes way up due to the increase in fuel efficiency standards? Same with natural gas. As for the rest, tax breaks are great, right? Right up until the government raises taxes elsewhere to make up for the “lost revenue.”

On a broader topic relating to climate change, the new Gallup Poll found that a smaller 53% majority said they are more concerned about the risk to the environment of not passing such proposals than they are about potential harm to the economy.

Some 43%, meanwhile. indicated they are more concerned about the potential harm to the economy and deficit if the such measures are passed.

Now ask them if they support a higher cost of living in general, higher cost of food, cost of electricity, cost of housing, and all sorts of restrictions in practice.

Bummer: Biden Polling Rather Poorly In North Carolina

By William Teach April 12, 2022 – 7:00 am

Biden lost North Carolina by 1.3% in 2020. It’s looking pretty bad now

WRAL News Poll: 55% of NC voters surveyed disapprove of the job Biden is doing

A WRAL News poll released Monday found most North Carolina voters disapprove of the job Joe Biden is doing as president.

SurveyUSA conducted the scientific poll of 2,500 randomly selected North Carolina adults from April 6 to 10 and found that 55% of registered voters either somewhat disapprove or strongly disapprove of the job Biden has done after interviewing. Of the 2,500 adults interviewed for the survey, 2,068 are registered to vote in the state. (snip)

Some 14% of registered voters in the state somewhat disapprove of Biden whereas 41% strongly disapprove of him.

Some 42% approved of the job Biden has done with 18% strongly approving and 24% somewhat approving. Only 3% weren’t sure.

Voters’ confidence in Biden varies significantly by party affiliation. Three-quarters of voters who told pollsters that they generally favor the Republican party strongly disapproved of Biden and 15% of those voters somewhat disapproved. Those who said they generally vote for Democrats approved of Biden at 81% with 40% strongly approving of his performance and 41% somewhat approving.

That’s rather brutal. Just 18% strongly approve while 41% strongly disapprove. And just 40% of Democrats strongly approve. If his approval ratings carry through for the Congressional elections, well, it won’t make much difference most likely in the House races, but, for the Senate seat that Richard Burr is retiring from, which would have been voted on in 2022 anyhow, it could make a big difference on which party winds.

Even women are pretty high in strongly disapprove and low on strongly approve. Only 13% of 18-34 strong approve. Only 19% with a 4 year college degree strongly approve. And, if a coming recession hit, as so many are predicting, this will get worse. In honesty, I’d rather see his approval rating go up with a bettering economy.

Climate Cult Scientists Are Begging And Crying And Getting Arrested Or Something

By William Teach April 11, 2022 – 3:00 pm

Tell me you’re an activist first and a “scientist” second without specifically telling me

Climate scientists are desperate: we’re crying, begging and getting arrested

I’m a climate scientist and a desperate father. How can I plead any harder? What will it take? What can my colleagues and I do to stop this catastrophe unfolding now all around us with such excruciating clarity?

I can think of a few things. The first would be “practice what you preach.” Change your life to accord with your doomsday cult beliefs. In fairness, author Peter Kalmus claims he has drastically reduced his own carbon footprint. Second, make some predictions that actually come true, because almost every single one so far has been wrong, has failed, hence why you make them for 2050 and 2100.

On Wednesday, I risked arrest by locking myself to an entrance to the JP Morgan Chase building in downtown Los Angeles with colleagues and supporters. Our action in LA is part of an international campaign organized by a loosely knit group of concerned scientists called Scientist Rebellion, involving more than 1,200 scientists in 26 countries and supported by local climate groups. Our day of action follows the IPCC Working Group 3 report released Monday, which details the harrowing gap between where society is heading and where we need to go. Our movement is growing fast.

We chose JP Morgan Chase because out of all the investment banks in the world, JP Morgan Chase funds the most new fossil fuel projects. As the new IPCC report explains, emissions from current and planned fossil energy infrastructure are already more than twice the amount that would push the planet over 1.5°C of global heating, a level of heating that will bring much more intense heat, fire, storms, flooding, and drought than the present 1.2°C.

In fact, he was arrested

How does NASA and the Jet Propulsion Lab, where Kalmus works, feel about their employee being arrested while making sure everyone knows he works there?

Earth breakdown is much worse than most people realize. The science indicates that as fossil fuels continue to heat our planet, everything we love is at risk. For me, one of the most horrific aspects of all this is the juxtaposition of present-day and near-future climate disasters with the “business as usual” occurring all around me. It’s so surreal that I often find myself reviewing the science to make sure it’s really happening, a sort of scientific nightmare arm-pinch. Yes, it’s really happening.

If everyone could see what I see coming, society would switch into climate emergency mode and end fossil fuels in just a few years.

It’s a doomsday cult. Scientists like this do not need to be employed by the government, because they are not serving the citizens, they are self serving cultists. Also, if this is so bad why aren’t all the climate change scientists going carbon neutral? Kalmus says his carbon footprint is around 2 tons per year, which is way less than the average US footprint, but still higher than those in the 3rd World. This people are advocates, and want Government to force you to comply with their cult beliefs.

Bummer: At Least A Dozen GOP States Considering Parental Rights Bills

By William Teach April 11, 2022 – 10:30 am

Have you noticed that, for the most part, articles and opinion pieces on the Florida “don’t say gay” bill have dried up quite a bit? For one thing, Democrats do not want to be called groomers. They saw what happened in Virginia and almost happened in New Jersey, and do not want to give people a reason to vote GOP, since Democrats are against parental rights and for teaching children these unhinged, immoral, insane sexual policies. They do not want parents seeing the state of so many crazy teachers

https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1513046467333689344

Do you want this person with obvious mental health issues teaching your child?

Not just Florida. More than a dozen states propose so-called ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bills

First Florida. Then Alabama. Now, lawmakers in Ohio and Louisiana are considering legislation that mimics the Florida law. And Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says he’ll make a similar bill a top priority at the next session.

Across the United States, at least a dozen states are considering new legislation that in several ways will mirror Florida’s new controversial law, referred to by some opponents as “Don’t Say Gay.”

The specific details regarding the bills vary between states. But overall, they seek to prohibit schools from using a curriculum or discussing topics of gender identity or sexual orientation.

And polling says they are popular, especially with parents. And even with a large chunk of Democratic Party voting parents. Hence why so few are talking about it now, and there are so few articles

“The institutionalization of these bills is an overt form of structural transphobia and homophobia, and it goes against all public health evidence in creating a safe and supportive environment for transgender, nonbinary, queer, gay and lesbian youths and teachers to thrive,” Arjee Restar, assistant professor of epidemiology at the University of Washington, told NPR.

Young kids aren’t anything at that age. Just kids. If a little girl is being a tomboy or a boy is playing with dolls, it doesn’t mean they should be transitioned. It just means they are kids. The only way they identify as something else is if they’re groomed to be. Leave the kids alone, if they feel differently later in life then the parents can have the talk. Not teachers. But, see, Democrats and their schools think they own the kids.

Idiot leftists are asking on Twitter if Conservatives are OK with banning the teaching the Bible (the talking points memo went out), and, yes, it is. It’s been against the rules for hundreds of years in public schools, because teaching religion has no place in school. That’s for the parents to decide. And if Democrats want to continue hiding what goes on in schools from parents, telling parents they have zero input, it’s not going to go well for Democrats. Hence, why the subject has become rather quiet in the news.

Climate Cult Scientists Are Unhappy About This Whole Debate Thing

By William Teach April 11, 2022 – 7:00 am

See, in science, there’s no debate, right?

We Are Wasting Time on These Climate Debates. The Next Steps are Clear.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report, which was released last week and which we co-authored with many colleagues, offers hope for limiting global warming.

But there is no time to waste. And wasted time includes time spent debating issues that divert us from our most important priorities right now.

Unfortunately, debates about distant future decisions and future uncertainties are distracting advocates, policymakers, researchers and the public from their shared, near-term goals. At best, these disputes give observers — especially policymakers and their advisers, who are trying to make tough short-term decisions during a global energy security crisis — a misleading impression that experts disagree about effective steps to decarbonize energy systems. At worst, these disputes can stall progress by delaying policies and incentives that would accelerate clean energy deployment.

Rather than getting mired in these debates, we should focus on credible commitments to public policy, private investment and innovation.

Steven Davis, Chris Bataille, John Bistline, and Inês Azevedo are tired of all that icky debate stuff. I guess they’re used to every “scientist” in their circle agreeing with them 100%, so, they want the people who can pass laws that force citizens to comply with the UN IPCC dictates. Here’s an idea: let’s force all the UN IPCC scientists to comply first. No more fossil fueled vehicles or airplane trips. No more fancy big homes, just tiny ones. No meat. No clothes or shoes made with fossil fuels. And so forth. See how they make out.

Anyhow, lots of blah blah blah, till

Rather than getting distracted by distant and likely irreducible uncertainties, let’s focus on what matters: deploying clean technologies we know we need, implementing a coherent climate policy, laying the groundwork for future progress and creating a just transition that shares the benefits of a sustainable energy system.

Those are political decisions, not scientific one, and they can all piss off.
