Or, perhaps Warmists could all just stop eating meat, and leave the rest for the non-cult folks. Let’s start here
Biden set to go after methane emissions on day 2 of Glasgow climate change conference
President Biden lauded an agreement reached by more than 90 countries to cut methane emissions by 30 percent over the next decade.
“One of the most important things we can do in this decisive decade is to keep 1.5 degrees [Celsius of temperature rise] in reach and reduce our methane emissions as quickly as possible,” Biden said during his second day at the U.N. Climate Change Conference.
Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that Biden noted is behind “about half of the warming we’re experiencing today.” Keenly aware that world leaders gathered at the conference are looking to the U.S. to lead on climate change with not just words but actions, the president announced two new initiatives to reduce U.S. methane emissions.
“We’re proposing two new rules: one through our Environmental Protection Agency that’s going to reduce methane losses from new and existing oil and gas pipelines, and one through the Department of Transportation to reduce wasteful and hazardous leaks in natural gas pipelines.”
In reality, methane is a potent greenhouse gas, way, way stronger than CO2, and is one of the reason I say that Mankind does have a small impact on global warming. It wouldn’t be a bad thing to reduce the output. But, Warmists tend to ignore the stuff that Biden mentioned (except in terms of stopping them altogether), and focus on something else
Americans already pay taxes on everything from the real estate they own to some of the consumer goods they purchase.
But could they one day be taxed on the meat they eat?
The idea of a meat tax has been widely discussed across the globe in recent years, particularly as a way to reduce consumption of beef in light of the effects the cattle industry has on the climate crisis. The United Nations has said that emissions from livestock account for 14.5% of total greenhouse gas emissions across the planet. Almost two-thirds of those emissions come from cattle, especially in the form of the methane gas emitted by the animals, according to the United Nations.
George Eustice, the U.K.’s Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, told the Telegraph that taxes are being considered in connection to such foods because of the impact on global warming. “We need to do the thinking about it now,” he said.
Trot that one out to the UK citizens, see how that goes
It’s perhaps a stretch to think that the U.S., which ranks among the top countries in meat consumption, would enact a climate change-related meat tax, whether it’s levied on meat producers or shoppers.
But Atul Jain, a University of Illinois atmospheric-sciences professor who has studied the relationship between food production and greenhouse-gas emissions, says it’s at least worth contemplating.
“This is a very good idea,” said Jain.
At the same time, Jain says there are many ways to tackle the issue, beginning with educating younger people about the connection between food and the climate crisis as a way to reduce their consumption of meat. Jain also says if the U.S. is to encourage people to switch from an animal-based diet to more of a plant-based one, it must make sure nutritional needs and concerns are properly addressed.
So, perhaps a meat tax isn’t the best for the U.S. Instead, let’s doing nagging and indoctrination from the Government! Hooray!

So far as I’ve seen, Terry MaCauliffe has refused to concede. I’m sure the “Republicans stole the election!” talk is already going on Twitter and other social media outlets, which will be deemed just fine by Liberal media outlets
Youngkin Beats McAuliffe, Clinching First Statewide Win In Virginia For Republicans Since 2009
Glenn Youngkin will be Virginia’s next governor after narrowly beating former Gov. Terry McAuliffe Tuesday night, making him the first Republican to win statewide in over a decade and ending Democrats’ total control over the legislative process held for nearly two years.
Youngkin led by just over two points when the Associated Press called the race early Wednesday, buoyed by record turnout in rural areas and an energized Republican base. He trailed McAuliffe in nearly every poll up until the final days of the race, when late momentum gave him the slimmest of leads in a state that President Joe Biden won by over 10 points just a year ago.
In addition to Youngkin, Republican Winsome Sears won the state’s race to be lieutenant governor, while Jason Miyares, also a Republican, led in the state’s attorney general race, respectively. Republicans also appear to have flipped six seats in the Virginia State House, a margin that, if it holds, would turn Democrats’ 10-seat majority into a 51-49 GOP majority.
Perhaps telling parents they have no say in the education of their kids was a Bad Idea. Especially after things like sexually explicit books in schools, a coverup of a gender confused boy sexually assaulting a girl was exposed, and so much more. If they didn’t have all those early voting days and mail in ballots, how much more might have been Youngkin’s win?
The race in NJ is extremely close, with Republican Jack Ciattarelli holding a small lead over incumbent Gov Phil Murphy, which rather shows Democrats will vote for a really bad governor simply because he’s a Democrat. In Minneapolis, where the George Floyd incident occurred, they shot down a referendum to replace the police department. Ilhan Omar is angry. There were all sorts of unexpected GOP wins in state and local races.
Meanwhile, MSNBC, which spent the evening going Full Moonbat, is, of course, blamestorming whites
Glenn Youngkin’s victory proves white ignorance is a powerful weapon
…
Ultimately, his campaign settled on a game plan that seemed to resonate deeply with white voters in Virginia: targeting school lesson plans that address inequality and social justice. Youngkin adopted the conservative strategy of falsely grouping these lesson plans under the label of “critical race theory,” and he promised to ban such teachings “on day one” if elected. Critical race theory is a college-level field of study that’s not taught in Virginia K-12 schools, but it’s become a catchall phrase for intellectually lazy people — many of them white — who want to stigmatize any discussion about American racism.
In the final weeks of his campaign, Youngkin focused almost exclusively on attacking lesson plans about inequality. He hosted multiple “Parents Matter” rallies, where attendees could gather to express outrage over school curricula. And last week, his campaign released an ad featuring a white mother who fought to have “Beloved,” Toni Morrison’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel about slavery, banned from her son’s school district.
The Youngkin campaign discovered that this contingent of angry, willfully ignorant white people was the key ingredient needed to elect a GOP governor in Virginia for the first time since 2009. We can expect more Republicans to try the same gambit as we inch closer to next year’s consequential midterm elections.
See? You’re a raaaaacist if you voted Youngkin. If you care about what’s being taught in school to your kids. Might not be the best idea if you want to win the 2022 mid-terms. And, Democrats have been pushing hard to teach CRT in Virginia K-12 schools. Even ABC noted that CRT was incorporated in the curriculum in Virginia.
Plenty of other freakouts, like

DNC chair Jaime Harrison said “It’s sad to see where the Republican Party is going because they have become a party of fascism and fear.” Fascism is apparently when a political party wants less government now.

The climate cult, which has invaded the Christian religion, is getting nuttier and nuttier. Is this from the Book Of Climate Revelations?
Archbishop Welby: Failure to Act on Climate Means ‘Infinitely Greater’ Genocide Than Holocaust
Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby sparked outrage when he claimed that politicians who fail to act on climate change will allow an “infinitely greater” genocide than the Holocaust and be judged “in far stronger terms” than those who appeased Nazi Germany.
Speaking at COP26, the de facto leader of the Church of England and British lawmaker, as a member of the House of Lords, said that politicians who do not adopt the green agenda will be “cursed” and that future generations “will speak of them in far stronger terms than we speak today of the politicians of the ’30s, of the politicians who ignored what was happening in Nazi Germany, because this will kill people all ’round the world for generations, and we will have no means of averting it.”
“That’s very strong language,” offered BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg, noting that he was “saying failure to act on climate change would be worse than people allowing genocide to happen” — perhaps in an effort to allow him on an opportunity to row back the audacious claim.
The woke clergyman merely doubled down, however, clarifying that climate change will “allow genocide on an infinitely greater scale” than the Holocaust.
“I’m not sure there’s grades of genocide but there’s width of genocide, and this will be genocide indirectly by negligence, recklessness, that will in the end come back to us, or to our children and grandchildren,” he asserted.
The Cult feels emboldened to make insane speeches like this, because almost no one calls them on it. Where’s the Archbishop in condemning all the Elites flying private jets to Glasgow, then seeing those jets flown away with no passengers to park elsewhere, because there’s no space at the airport? This is all just pure insanity.
Perhaps inevitably, the archbishop did feel the need to take to social media to apologise for these claims, tweeting that he “unequivocally apologise[d] for the words I used when trying to emphasise the gravity of the situation facing us at COP26.”
“It’s never right to make comparisons with the atrocities brought by the Nazis, and I’m sorry for the offence caused to Jews by these words,” he added.
So, he wasn’t really apologizing for what he said, just that he overdid the comparison. If he didn’t mean the words, he wouldn’t have written them in his speech. Perhaps he should spend more time tending to his flock rather than playing cult politician.

Did you get the vaccine? Took your 2 shots, waited the 14 days (or one shot, depending)? Think you’re safe? Not so fast!
Definition of ‘fully vaccinated’ could change, CDC chief says. Here’s what that means
If you’ve received a two-dose course of the Moderna or Pfizer COVID vaccines, or a one-and-done Johnson & Johnson shot, you’re considered by health officials to be fully vaccinated against the coronavirus.
For now.
But that could change as eligibility for booster shots continues to expand. Last week, COVID boosters were approved for Moderna recipients and all who got the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, and everyone can now choose their own brand of booster shot.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said at a news conference Friday that the agency “may need to update our definition of ‘fully vaccinated’ in the future†as boosters are becoming more widely available.
When would that happen, and what would it look like? Walensky had no further details, as she and other health experts acknowledge that the situation is evolving.
“We’re doing an experiment in real time,†said Warner Greene, a virologist and senior investigator at the Gladstone Institutes in San Francisco. “We don’t know how to optimally use the vaccines yet. What we do know is that two shots are not preventing infections as efficiently after six months.â€
Yet, let’s force people to choose between their jobs or not taking a vaccination they are hesitant on which doesn’t work as well as they thought.
Robert Siegel, a professor of microbiology and immunology at Stanford University, said the term “fully vaccinated†is a policy concept, not an immunological one.
“Policies change and the designation of who is ‘fully vaccinated’ will continue to change,†he wrote in an email. “Ideally, these changes will be based on new data on the durability or diminution of the immune response over time.â€
In fairness, there are many vaccines which require more than one or two shots. Smallpox is a series of 5 shots over a few years. You most likely do not remember because you were very young. But, really, Siegel is correct, this is political. Next up we will see the politicians requiring booster shots to be considered fully vaccinated and allowed to keep your job and participate in society.
Yes, I took the booster. Why? Because I want to protect myself. That’s it. No other reason. If someone doesn’t want to take it, that’s on them. I weighed the risks, and came down on the side of vaccination and booster. Other people can make their own decisions. I don’t want them forced.

What are they protesting? The Cult of Climastrology Elites are working to hammer out deals that will Do Something about the climate crisis scam. You’d think St. Greta and her Comrades would be happy
Greta Thunberg and her allies lambaste U.N. Climate Change Conference from just outside
The security perimeter around the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, known as COP26, is ironclad. It’s surrounded by metal gates, with each point of entry guarded by armed police in yellow vests, and registered attendees must show proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken that day and a government-issued ID card, in addition to their credentials to share space with dignitaries and world leaders. On Sunday, the discovery of an unaccompanied bag led to an hourlong lockdown in which no one could enter.
Wait, walls/fences work? Huh
Across the street, however, or in this case right across the River Clyde, is a world apart. And that’s where a hundred activists from Greta Thunberg’s Fridays for Future youth movement and the loosely aligned group Extinction Rebellion gathered in a park to mock the dignitaries and leaders assembled inside for what they consider to be empty rhetoric and inadequate action to combat climate change.
“This COP26 is just like the previous COPs,†said Thunberg, an 18-year-old from Sweden, to the mostly young crowd in the park. “Inside COP, they are just politicians and people in power pretending to take our future seriously, pretending to take the present seriously of the people who are being affected already today by the climate crisis. Change is not going to come from in there.
“That is not leadership. This is leadership!†Thunberg proclaimed, referring to the scruffy activists waving placards with slogans like “Planet over profit†and “This is a climate emergency.â€
Many also held signs that were intended as a warning to the government representatives in Glasgow for the conference, with phrases such as “We are watching you†and “What will be your wake up call?â€
“We say, ‘No more blah blah blah,’†Thunberg said. “No more exploitation of people and the planet.†She led the crowd in a chant of “What do we want? Climate justice! When do we want it? Now!â€
So they want more Government, more taxation, more taking away freedom, liberty, and choice? Let’s start with the kiddies, see how they like it. And with the Extinction Rebellion nutters.
How many are wearing commercially produced clothes, many which are shipped from China and such on fossil fueled ships and planes? Same with their smartphones? Their backpacks? Their shoes?
“What we need is we need action now. We don’t need it in 2060, we don’t need it in 2050,†she continued. “We need it before 2030, and that has to happen now. We’re at the point where the climate is tipping into catastrophe.â€
Yeah, we’ve been hearing that since the 90’s. So far, nope
Laura Amherst, from Brighton, England, wore a mesh bodysuit that left little to the imagination. It was dappled in skull-and-crossbones images, intended to signify the threat of potentially deadly toxic pollution. Amherst is a well-known activist in the U.K. with a dual mission: to urge action against climate change and to oppose sexism and combat body shaming. “It’s about raising the visibility of this message and making it more accessible to different groups that wouldn’t necessarily pay attention to the climate crisis,†she told Yahoo News.
She’s the woman who has been posing with just pasties on during XR protests, so, it’s more about showing off her fake boobs and being an “Influencer”, trying to profit. I can’t find any photos of the mesh, but, here she is the other day

“When we talk about climate change, we’re talking about basic human rights, like the right to clean water, to sanitation and even the right to life,†Becker said in her prepared remarks. “Since we don’t have a vote in there, we’re saying what we want out here. Our eyes are on COP26: Do not let us down.â€
Sounds like they are worried about real environmental and other issues. Perhaps they should focus on them instead of the climate scam.
You had to know that, suddenly, all the media would lose their minds over the “Let’s Go Brandon” call
Anti-Biden rallying cry ‘Lets Go Brandon’ causes mainstream media meltdown
Corporate media and liberal reporters have come together, united in a common cause as everyone from allegedly neutral reporters to far-left pundits have gone nuclear in an attempt to shut down three words: Let’s Go Brandon.
The phrase became an internet sensation last month after an NBC reporter at a NASCAR Xfinity Series race incorrectly reported that fans in the stands were chanting “Let’s Go Brandon” following a victory by driver Brandon Brown, when they were really shouting, “F–k Joe Biden!”
Memes, jokes, and comments immediately began to spread across the internet posted by users mocking NBC’s coverage during the interview. The “F–k Joe Biden!” chants, which began at some large sporting events across the country as the president’s poll numbers sagged, have now been replaced in some venues with “Let’s Go Brandon” chants.
But the chant’s popularity has infuriated the left, resulting in an onslaught of angry tweets, columns and hot takes from liberal pundits. NPR labeled the term “vulgar” and CNN’s Edward-Issac Dovere was so offended by the phrase that he called it “an inside joke telling the president of the United States to perform a sexual act on himself.”
Washington Post reporters Ashley Parker and Carissa Wolf wrote on what they considered “vitriol” from Biden critics in a piece titled “Biden’s critics hurl increasingly vulgar taunts.”
The article claimed, “The current eruption of anti-Biden signs and chants, however, is on another level, far more vulgar and widespread” than anything seen in previous administrations.
That piece mentions several other outlets who are losing their minds, but, the Washington Post is an interesting one, since they published cartoons by Ted Rall, such as this one saying Hitler was better than Bush. He had plenty of others. How about the UK Guardian’s Charlie Brooker calling for someone to assassinate Bush43 if he won re-election? There was plenty of assassination chic, as Michelle Malkin termed it, during Bush’s terms, which reappeared during the Trump years.
There was plenty of nasty invective thrown towards Bush and Trump, including the F word. Here’s hundreds of artists coming together to say Fuck Trump. Here they are chanting Fuck Trump at the World Cup. And here’s Eminem leading a Fuck Trump chant at a concert. I could give you tons of examples of Bush and Trump derangement syndrome, but, you get the point. Where were the pearl clutchers then? Generally just reporting it as “news”
Here’s disgraced journalist Dan Rather, who gave up all his journalistic cred to publish a fake hit piece against Bush43 because of BDS
I have tried for some time to avoid commenting on a topic that I felt should be so far beneath our political discourse that to give it the oxygen of attention would be to play into the strategic hopes of those who are seeking to debase our democracy. But as Yoda, the wise sage of Star Wars, might say if he was trying to fight those who have turned to the “dark side†of our national polity, ignore it no longer I can.
The issue at hand can succinctly be summed up in three words: “Let’s go Brandon.†If you have no idea what I am talking about, consider yourself fortunate. For reasons too mundane to fully outline here, “Let’s go Brandon†has become a favorite chant and rallying cry for many Republicans as a stand-in for another three-word chant that you may also have heard : “F- Joe Biden,†with F-, for the purposes of decorum in this newsletter, standing for a four-letter vulgarity. Search for “Let’s Go Brandon,†and you will start finding it everywhere – all over social media, a song with a ton of downloads on iTunes, at political rallies, and among snickering Republicans in Washington.
Apparently, Dan forgets all the Crazy Moonbattery against Bush. And the people in his administration, particularly the blacks, even more against Condi Rice. There’s a cartoon somewhere in the archives (and probably still saved deep in the photo files, maybe at my Photobucket), that was published in a mainstream outlet of Rice give oral to Bush. It’s really, really bad. We remember the invective thrown Bush’s way. We remember the Democrats wanting to lose in Iraq because Bush was president. We just witnessed four years of disgusting stuff towards Trump, Melania, and their son. The same media had zero problems with this. So, they can go pound sand.
