Hardcore Progressives Unveil New Hardcore Agenda To Push Comrade Biden

By William Teach October 10, 2020 – 10:30 am

And, let’s face it, Joe won’t last more than a year, he’s just not well mentally, so, then they’d have Comrade Harris

Progressives unveil new agenda to pressure Joe Biden to the left

A group of progressives — including “Squad” member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) — have unveiled their new vision for America in how a Joe Biden administration could address coronavirus aid, economic relief and other agenda items, according to reports.

The Working Families Party’s “People’s Charter,” released Thursday, calls for free public health care, a jobs program for 16 million people, retroactive hazard pay for essential workers and the reallocation of policing resources to education and other services, Politico reported.

It also calls for the cancellation of student debt, a $15 minimum wage and promotes giving the public an ownership stake in companies that receive bailouts.

Who pays for that free public health care? Jobs program means working for Los Federales. Rellocation of policing resources means getting rid of police officers. What about students who paid off their debt, you know, the debt incurred at colleges that are run by Democrats? $15 an hour? People voting to reduce available jobs, have their hours limited, and be replaced by machines. Ownership in companies? That sounds like….Socialism! If you’re a small business, would you be happy if the government had a “stake” in your business?

Eight members of Congress — including AOC and Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) — are backing the program.

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), one of the liberal policy agenda’s backers, said it will serve as the legislative blueprint for what House progressives would push during a Biden administration, Fox News reported.

“The aim is a clear agenda that progressives in the House will advance focuses on these big items,” Khanna told the network.

If you’re voting Biden, you’re voting for this kind of Progressive (nice Fascism) agenda. It sound great on the surface, but, like Durian fruit and pure chocolate, it doesn’t work out on the inside.

“We’ve always said that electing Joe Biden was a doorway, not a destination,” Working Families Party national director Maurice Mitchell said in a statement, according to Fox.

“The People’s Charter is that destination: a nation that cares for all of us, no matter what we look like, where we come from, or how much money is in our pockets.

Joe should watch his back if he wins. If he’s cognizant enough. “A nation that cares for all of us” is exactly what it means: government in charge of all our lives just like when we were kids and mom and dad run the ship.

Climate Cult Seeks One Billion People To Practice A Little Of What They Preach

By William Teach October 10, 2020 – 8:09 am

Why should they even have to ask? Shouldn’t Warmists be willing to make all sorts of changes in their lives without being told? Why do they have to beg for Other People to make little changes in their lives?

Campaign seeks 1bn people to save climate – one small step at a time

If a billion people around the world were to take a few small steps and make them into permanent lifestyle changes, global greenhouse gas emissions could be significantly reduced, a new campaign argues.

These actions can be as simple as eating local food, forgoing meat at some meals, and wearing clothes to last instead of throwing them away after a few outings.

The campaign, which is backed by businesses including Ikea, HSBC, BT and Reckitt Benckiser (owner of brands such as Cillit Bang, Gaviscon and Durex), is urging people to sign up to take at least one simple step that would reduce emissions.

Count Us In invites people to sign up online for the steps they want to take and a level of commitment, such as moving permanently to a different diet or promising not to fly over a specified period.

There are 16 steps on offer, of varying levels of difficulty. These range from having your house insulated, buying an electric car or solar panels and opting to fly less, to writing to political representatives and reusing and repairing belongings rather than buying new ones.

Some of the measures – such as turning down the thermostat and buying fewer new clothes – are ones that many people do routinely out of necessity rather than choice. However, the campaign aims to raise awareness among consumers that patterns of high consumption are unsustainable.

Shouldn’t card carrying members of the Cult of Climastrology be doing this anyhow? Oh, sure, they probably already take the easy route of bugging their friends and coworkers, but, putting up solar panels on their homes and buying an electric car are hard. Heck, biking and walking is apparently easy, but, most Warmists still opt for fossil fueled travel. Same with eating more plants. They would still rather have a burger. And are surely not happy with keeping the the AC high and heating low. Who wants to sweat and freeze?

Fortunately, there are celebs to spread awareness on ‘climate change’ tonight

The Pope and Prince William will join activists, artists, celebrities and politicians on Saturday at a free streamed TED event aimed at unifying people to confront the climate crisis.

The Countdown program will kick off on the TED channel at YouTube starting at 8.30 p.m.(IST) in California and features 50 speakers.

“You’ll be hearing from all different kinds of folks from all walks of life; from the front lines to the grassroots to the treetops,” actor Mark Ruffalo, who is among the Countdown hosts, said during a briefing ahead of the event. “They’ll be talking a little bit about the problems and a lot about the solutions.”

While Countdown will spotlight science about the climate crisis and how it is harming the health of the planet, it will be geared to things people can do to stop it, according to organisers.

Mostly, you can expect it to be about people getting out and voting for Democrats.

Countdown organisers have set a goal of mobilizing governments and citizens to cut greenhouse gas emissions in half over the next decade and get to net-zero carbon pollution by the year 2050.

“You can think of Saturday as a clarion call, a warning that we must reignite our efforts to take on this daunting challenge,” Anderson said. “But it’s also a day of hope that there is a pathway to do this and we must walk down it together.”

They’ve been doing this for 30+ years, and they still have to do this? Apparently, Warmists are not very good at actually walking the talk.

Democrats Seem Nervous, Tell Voters Not To Get Complacent

By William Teach October 10, 2020 – 7:42 am

For a party that says they’re way up in the polls, they sure seem nervous about losing, do they not?

Progressives unveil new agenda to pressure Joe Biden to the left

Democrats are warning their voters not to become complacent as Joe Biden builds up a formidable polling lead in the race for the White House.

Party leaders are seeing new polls that show the entire battlegrounds map move against President Trump with just over three weeks to go before Nov. 3. Republicans are beginning to worry that Trump could face a landslide loss that costs the party the White House and their majority in the Senate.

Why so nervous if they are about to blow Trump and the Republicans out?

But Democrats are still deeply scarred from 2016, when Democrat Hillary Clinton was viewed as the heavy favorite heading into Election Day.

They say that despite Biden’s polling strength, the political terrain is extremely volatile and that even small changes in their projected turnout models could produce wild swings in the Electoral College.

Democrats are urging activists to keep their foot on the gas in the stretch run, saying they can’t afford to rest easy until the race has officially been called in Biden’s favor.

Yet, Joe Biden mostly hides in his basement. What excitement does he create? How many yard signs and bumper stickers do you see? I live in a city that tends to vote Democrat, yet, I do not see any yard signs on my way to work or anywhere else.

“I think we’re putting that fear [of another upset loss] to good use and we’re being constructive in the way we’re approaching the election,” said Guy Cecil, the chairman of Priorities USA, the largest Democratic super PAC supporting Biden’s campaign. “Am I optimistic? Yes. But I do continue to have serious concerns and we need to continue to run through the finish line.”

Cecil’s own polling shows Biden would be in line to potentially win a massive victory in the Electoral College if the election were held today.

The Priorities USA data finds 319 electoral votes leaning toward Biden, versus only 188 leaning toward Trump, with 31 up for grabs in Georgia and North Carolina.

Well, I guess we’ll see if this very far left poll holds true, but, the polls were saying the same thing in 2016. Heck, even Republicans were asking if Trump was trying to lose the race intentionally. We’ll know in less than a month. Of course, Democrats will have their late arriving mail in votes, and they’ll know just how many votes that will have to magically appear to win. Should be a fun recount and lawsuit time.

Climate Cultists Look To Make All New Homes Really Expensive

By William Teach October 9, 2020 – 3:00 pm

I just wonder if these same Warmists live in tiny homes that rely solely on wind and solar power

Inside the climate battle quietly raging about US homes

Some challenges to US climate action are obvious – like when Donald Trump boasts about leaving the international Paris agreement and rolling back pollution rules.

But many more play out behind the scenes. One of those is the battle over efforts to make America’s new homes and buildings more energy-efficient.

On one side are the city and state officials trying to go greener, and on the other are real estate developers and the natural gas industry.

The International Code Council, which like the World Series largely concerns Americans, met this week on updating the baseline codes that most states and cities adopt for new buildings. The council is reviewing about two dozen proposals that would, for example, require builders to install electrical outlets near gas stoves that may one day be replaced with electric ones; and to wire enough power to garages where people may one day want to plug in electric cars.

It’s a longer article, but, the short of it is that these climate cultists are attempting to make homes artificially much more expensive. They can’t just mind their own damned business, and will turn everywhere just like home prices in places like San Francisco if they continue. These aren’t safety measures, they’re stuff that makes homes more expensive with little return, and energy more expensive, since they keep legislating away the use of natural gas.

Bat Soup Virus Continues To Rise In NYC, Europe

By William Teach October 9, 2020 – 10:30 am

NYC is a big time Democratic Party city, right, one which embraces all the restrictions, right, one which wears masks and even had a snitch line, right?

COVID-19 cases in NYC continue to rise as city nears threshold

Fueled by coronavirus hot spot zones in Brooklyn and Queens, the daily number of new COVID-19 cases in the Big Apple is steadily rising and inching closer to the city’s threshold.

“There is no herd immunity in any of the neighborhoods where we are most concerned or any other neighborhood in New York City,” city Health Commissioner Dr. David Chokshi said during Mayor Bill de Blasio’s City Hall press briefing Thursday.

“This is so important to ensure that people understand that unfortunately the coronavirus continues to be very infectious, continues to spread and so we have to take the precautions that we are embarking upon,” Chokshi said.

According to the latest city data, the Big Apple’s seven-day rolling average of new virus cases is at 526 — just 24 away from the city’s threshold of 550 cases, after which further restrictions could be considered citywide.

That number has been incrementally rising in recent weeks, the data shows. On Sept. 15, that figure was just below 300.

But, if everyone is wearing a mask, and, certainly, being a hardcore Democratic Party stronghold, everyone is wearing masks, right? Because masks work, right?

Restrictions begin in COVID cluster zones in New York City, other parts of New York state

The warnings are over and now Friday the enforcement begins. (snip)

If you cross Queens Boulevard, you’re in the red zone.

You can find your zone at NYC.gov/covidzone.

That means that any business not deemed essential is ordered to close.

Violators could face a summons.

Restaurants are take out only and houses of worship are limited to 10 people.

Mass gatherings are banned.

Face coverings are mandatory.

Now, after a couple nights of protest in Borough Park, police are being directed to issue summonses and even make arrests if people don’t disperse.

There are other places in the state of NY that are facing similar things. It’s probably Trump’s fault for these Democratic Party areas seeing spikes, wouldn’t you say? Weren’t we told that Democratic Party areas were so much better than Republican ones? Enjoy your coming lockdowns, Dems. Maybe they can blame the bars and pubs?

To Slow ‘Climate Change’ We Need Coronavirus Type Lockdowns For Decades Or Something

By William Teach October 9, 2020 – 8:24 am

The Arizona Mirror is running this little tidbit, something voters should think about

Voters must choose whether we fight or ignore climate change

(lots of the same whining about ‘climate change’)

Voters will make the ultimate decision. Will we be a state that mitigates or ignores climate change?

Well, as Arizona voters, and the rest of America (heck, countries around the world), vote, think about this as they include the climate crisis scam in the mix

Coronavirus is Not Helping to Slow Down Climate Change

One of the few positive outcomes (if we want to call them that) of the drastic measures implemented to contain the pandemic is that we may have reduced our planet-warming carbon dioxide emissions. Disrupting our lives, the pandemic has transfigured our society by reducing transportation, production of goods, and a whole series of activities that heavily add CO2 into the atmosphere.

Global CO2 emissions immediately after the global lockdown last spring decreased by 17% from 2019 average levels during the same period, with the peak of the reduction reaching 26%. A new study now takes stock of the situation and predicts that, based on data in the energy, industry and mobility sectors, in 2020 global CO2 emissions will drop by up to 8%. Unfortunately, although this may seem like a victory, this value is a drop in the ocean of emissions that we humans have injected in the atmosphere. Alone, it is not enough to have a significant effect on climate change.

We’ve noted this several times, that CO2 went down 17%. You enjoyed lockdown, right, in all its various facets? The economic devastation, loss of freedom, liberty, and choice? Being threatened with arrest/fines for being outside your home, for daring to travel anywhere, right?

“To reduce the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere in the long run, the restrictions imposed during the pandemic would have to be continued for decades. But even this would be far from sufficient,” says study author Ralf Sussmann of the Karlsruher Institut für Technologie in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), cumulative reductions of this magnitude would be needed each year to achieve the Paris Agreement goals by 2030.

“The restrictions imposed during the corona crisis, however, are far from being sufficient,” says Sussman. “They have just resulted in a one-time reduction by eight percent. To reach zero emissions in the coming decades, cumulative reductions of the same magnitude would be required every year, i.e. 16 percent in 2021, 24 percent in 2022, and so on.”

To achieve those reductions, the study authors point out, “political measures have to be taken to directly initiate fundamental technological changes in the energy and transport sectors.” Policy changes can promote changes in our society that can lead to large reductions in carbon emissions while accounting for the economy and our lives. These measures should be accompanied by the capture of CO2 that already resides in the atmosphere.

The pandemic can teach us a lesson on how the planet can react to the greenhouse gases that we are pumping in the atmosphere, and can show us a path that can help us deal with the climate crisis. If only we will listen to it.

You’re OK with this, right? Essentially destroying the economy and taking away all your rights, instituting an authoritarian government at all levels, right? No? How about all you Warmists, you’re good with that, right? If you Believe, you should be willing to take one for the climate. What’s that, you don’t want to do this in your own life? Huh.

56% Say They’re Better Off Now Than Four Years Ago

By William Teach October 9, 2020 – 8:08 am

The media car run out their polls that have Biden leading Trump (their polls didn’t work out too well in 2016), but, this one might be a bit more important

Poll: 56% Americans Say They Are Better Off Now Under Trump Than Four Years Ago Under Obama-Biden

A solid majority of 56 percent of Americans say they are better off now than they were four years ago, a new Gallup survey reveals.

Only 32 percent say they are worse off than four years ago. The number is, as Fox News’s Laura Ingraham noted on Thursday night, “the highest Gallup has ever recorded.”

Obama did pretty well in 2012, did he not? Well, he did, he lost even more House, Senate, and state positions for the Democratic Party.

While the 56 percent number is impressive indeed — again the highest ever recorded this close to an election — it was even higher before the coronavirus pandemic swept across the United States. In February, a whopping 61 percent said they believed they were better off than three years earlier when Trump took office in January 2017. As such, while the number slid a little bit — five points — during the coronavirus pandemic the past six months, the number of Americans who consider their lives better with Trump as president remains at record levels even with all the disruption this year.

All this means, also, that the vast majority of Americans think their lives are better off — literally during, again, a pandemic that has upended American life — than it was when Obama was president and Trump’s opponent this year former Vice President Joe Biden was Obama’s second-in-command. Even with the disruption from the pandemic, in other words, it is hard to see those people who like life more now under Trump than they did when Biden was in charge voting for a change. And it would amount to a serious historical aberration for Trump to lose, given the trends in Gallup polling on this question since Reagan asked it of the public in 1984.

That is huge. Despite the Bat Soup Virus devastation to the economy and people’s lives, Trump only lost 6% on that poll. People still think they are doing better, and, since people tend to think about the future with that question, think the future will be bright. Thinking about there being “secret Trump voters” out there is starting to make a whole lot more sense.

Also in the poll, 44% say he has presidential qualities, 49% say not. But, 49% say they agree with him on the issues, 46% (isn’t that Romney’s number?) say they don’t. So, yeah, people agree with him.

Now they should ask if people trust Biden/Harris with the economy.

Climate Cult Group Very Concerned That Millions Have Seen WrongThink On Facebook

By William Teach October 8, 2020 – 4:03 pm

See, rather than rebut what the Cult of Climastrology calls “disinformation”, they really want these ads shut down

Climate denial ads on Facebook seen by millions, report finds

Adverts on Facebook denying the reality of the climate crisis or the need for action were viewed by at least 8 million people in the US in the first half of 2020, a thinktank has found.

ZOMG, 8 million views over 6 months by a population of over 330 million! How can we survive!

The 51 climate disinformation ads identified included ones stating that climate change is a hoax and that fossil fuels are not an existential threat. The ads were paid for by conservative groups whose sources of funding are opaque, according to a report by InfluenceMap.

Last month Facebook said it was “committed to tackling climate misinformation” as it announced a climate science information centre. It said: “Climate change is real. The science is unambiguous and the need to act grows more urgent by the day.”

Facebook uses factcheckers and bans false advertising but also says this process “is not meant to interfere with individual expression, opinions and debate”. Some of the ads were still running on 1 October. The ads cost just $42,000 to run and appear to be highly targeted, with men over the age of 55 in rural US states most likely to see them.

The Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren said: “InfluenceMap’s devastating report reveals how Facebook lets climate deniers spread dangerous junk to millions of people. We have repeatedly asked Facebook to close the loopholes that allow misinformation to run rampant on its platform, but its leadership would rather make a quick buck while our planet burns and communities – disproportionately black and brown – suffer. Facebook must be held accountable for its role in the climate crisis.”

Warren and other senators wrote to Facebook in July calling on it to close the loopholes.

Do, not only do regular climate cultists want them shut down, Democratic Senators, who’ve apparently never read the 1st Amendment, want them shut down, as well. I’ve been saying this stuff for 15 years, this isn’t about science, it’s about control. If it was about science, why would they not only want you to shut up with your heretical thoughts, speech, and writing, but willing to make you shut up?
