DNC Launches Attack On 2nd Amendment Rights

By William Teach August 20, 2020 – 10:30 am

Alternate headline: People protected by armed security want to disarm law abiding citizens

Day 3 of Democrat Convention Launches with Assault on Guns

Day three of the Democrat National Convention launched on Wednesday with a full-blown assault on guns in America.

The night began with a video collage of speakers who lost family members to gun crime and also focused on the speakers at the March 24, 2018, March for Our Lives rally in Washington, DC.

Speakers from the rally said, “They say that tougher gun laws do not decrease gun violence; we call B.S.”

They then said, “They say a good guy with a gun stops a bad guy with a gun; we call B.S.”

They did not mention that Cook County, Illinois — which constitutes a large portion of the Chicago area — has an “assault weapons” ban. They did not mention that the state of Illinois has licensing requirements for all gun owners and the process for obtaining that license — a Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card — requires a background check. They did not mention that Illinois has a 72-hour waiting period on gun purchases nor did they point out that background checks for all retail gun sales are a federal requirement and have been a requirement since 1998. This means a retail gun sale in any state and/or city requires a background check, yet the violence in Chicago grows.

If a good guy with a legal gun doesn’t stop a bad guy with an illegal gun, what stops the bad guy?

(357 Magnum) They thought breaking into an occupied dwelling was a good idea. UPDATE: Conecuh County Sheriff says homeowner shot at three men breaking into house, killing one.

Conecuh County Sheriff Randy Brock says two brothers and another family member were trying to break into a home Friday afternoon. The trio did not know the homeowner was inside, and the homeowner fired shots at them, striking one of the men.

His 2 accomplices loaded him into a pickup truck and fled. It doesn’t say if they took him to a hospital or not, only that they traveled to different county.

Back to original article

On August 19, 2020, Breitbart News reported that the 2020 Democrat Platform includes a ban on “assault weapons,” “high-capacity” magazines, and an expansion on the number of persons prohibited from gun ownership. They also seek storage requirements for gun owners and plan to open gun makers to lawsuits by doing away with the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (2005).

Some things seem common sense, like restricting people accused of domestic violence from having a firearm, right? Allow lawsuits of gun makers is an attempt to put them out of business, or at least making sure they do not sell their product in the United States. And, let’s not forget, via This ain’t Hell…, what Kamala wants to do

While USA Today is correct that Harris has never explicitly maintained that she would sign an executive order to “send police” to break down your door, she is the first person to be on a major presidential ticket in American history who openly supports gun confiscation. Whether she promised to implement those plans through legislation or via executive order is also, at best, opaque, despite factcheckers’ efforts to claim otherwise.

Democrats have said it more than enough times that the end game is disarm law abiding citizens. You just have to listen.

Republicans should attempt to slide in an amendment to every Democrat gun bill that would require that the security of all elected officials be disarmed. And that private citizens should not be allowed to have armed security. That would not make elected Democrats, media, Hollywood, entertainment, and sports people happy, right?

California’s Lack Of Power And Blackouts Are Due To ‘Climate Change’ Or Something

By William Teach August 20, 2020 – 7:34 am

California has a wee bit of a problem as of late, eh?

(Breitbart) This week, California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) told his state — and his party — that they needed to “sober up” about the potential of renewable energy sources like solar and wind power to manage the needs of an advanced economy.

Newsom explained that the state was short of power because the wind was not blowing, and because solar power was not available as the sun went down — right as demand peaked for electricity as the state struggled with a major heat wave.

He went on to say that while he remained committed to fulfilling California’s law mandating 100% renewable energy by 2045, the state needed “backup” and “insurance” because “green” energy sources were simply not reliable enough.

California has been doing away with everything not “renewable”, including nuclear power. But, see, the real problem is “extreme weather” because you ate a cheeseburger

Climate Change Lesson From California’s Blackouts: Prepare For Extremes

Scorching heat across the Western United States has left California scrambling to avoid rolling blackouts, as air conditioners send electricity use soaring.

Some people blame the power outages on California’s reliance on solar power, which drops off when the sun sets. But energy experts say state officials failed to prepare adequately for high temperatures, despite the fact that California’s own scientists and regulators have warned that increasingly common heat waves driven by climate change would stress the electricity grid.

“You can’t control the weather, but you can prepare for the weather events,” California Governor Gavin Newsom said. “And let me just make this crystal clear, we failed to predict and plan for these shortages.”

The California Independent System Operator runs most of the state’s grid, the system of transmission lines that takes electricity from power plants to communities. As temperatures crept above 110 degrees in some parts of the state over the last week, California ISO knew the end of each day would be the toughest.

See? It’s the fault of anthropogenic climate change, not that there just isn’t enough energy production from solar and wind (also, that government is too heavily involved in controlling energy production and distribution). Extremes will always happen: that’s why there are weather averages. That’s life on earth. But, is anyone hearing about rolling blackouts in Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, or Texas?

“I don’t think this is the fault of solar at all,” says Borenstein. “I think it means that we have to take a new planning approach.”

Instead of making more electricity, one option is to simply reduce demand on hot days. The state already has voluntary programs where homeowners and large commercial and industrial facilities pay lower electricity rates, in exchange for agreeing to reduce their power use on very hot days. Private companies, like OhmConnect, also enroll homeowners to reduce their use on demand.

See? The solution to not getting power when the sun is down is to just get people to turn their electricity off. Voluntary blackouts.

“Air conditioning is a huge amount of the load in California on very hot days,” says Borenstein. “And so if we could get people to just reset their air conditioning four degrees warmer, we would probably be able to get through even the very tough Monday and Tuesday of this week.”

But, if you set it 4 degrees higher, it will still be turning on and off almost the same in an attempt to keep the building that temperature. Seriously, rather than having a proper supply of power to keep citizens comfortable during the summer, using the modern convenience of air conditioning, they want us to just sweat and be miserable for their climate cult beliefs.

Rep. Debbie Dingle Warns Democrats Not To Dismiss Violence In Democratic Party Controlled Cities

By William Teach August 20, 2020 – 7:15 am

Sorry, Debbie, very few in your political party care that your party has defended, protected, and even cajoled the “protesters” to be violent

Rep. Debbie Dingell warns Democrats that voter concerns over violence could be more important than trade this election year

Michigan Rep. Debbie Dingell has a stark warning for her fellow Democrats: The spike in violence in many urban areas, combined with attacks on the police, could become the wedge issue that once again costs her party the electoral votes of her state, and possibly the election.

“Law enforcement and support of law enforcement is an issue I am seeing in the suburbs [and] is an issue we really do need to pay attention to,” Dingell told the Yahoo News “Skullduggery” podcast. “You’ve seen what’s happening in the urban cities and some of this crime and the violence that you’re seeing at some of these protests. And Donald Trump is trying to use it as a wedge issue.”

Dingell, the widow of the popular Michigan Rep. John Dingell, famously warned the Hillary Clinton campaign four years ago it was in danger of losing Michigan because of frustration among voters about trade agreements that critics charged cost the jobs of American workers. Her forecast proved prescient as Trump narrowly carried the state by 11,000 votes.

Now, she said, violence and lawlessness could play the same role this year as trade did in 2016 if the Biden-Harris campaign and the Democratic Party as a whole doesn’t make a stand for public safety. It’s a message she says she has delivered to the Biden campaign, but worries that Democrats will find it too “uncomfortable” a subject to talk about.

“I’ve flagged it for everybody that this could be the trade issue and we can’t let [Trump] use it as a wedge issue,” Dingell said in the interview.

Democrats, elected and supporters, have been running around screaming about systemic racism and defunding the police for months now. They rarely have a bad word to say about “protesters” being violent. Most Democratic Party politicians have only gotten upset when the protesters show up at their own homes.

Dingell said it is important for the Democratic Party to remember that, as with teachers, law enforcement should be considered essential personnel.

“Our law enforcement, like our teachers, are social workers,” she said. “Domestic abuse is really on the rise. … Who’s the first responding?”

Even though Joe walked back comments on defunding the police and said that “most cops are good” the other day, Democrats, particularly high visibility ones, have come out in favor of defunding. Democratic Party run cities across the country have been attempting to make that happen. Many Dem cities have significantly reduced police budgets, gotten rid of special divisions which helped reduce crime, and plan on reducing the number of police officers. Many Dem cities are seeing abnormally high levels of retirements of officers. Many cities are holding law enforcement back from enforcing the law on these “protests.”

They aren’t going to listen to Debbie, though. If they didn’t listen early on that allowing violence to flourish, they aren’t going to do it now.

(Oregon Live) Multnomah County’s sheriff and top elected leader on Wednesday decried a fire set hours earlier inside the Multnomah Building that left the county’s first-floor Office of Community Involvement with broken glass, water and smoke damage and put at risk an emergency stockpile of medical gear assembled in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

At the Multnomah Building on Southeast Hawthorne Avenue, people threw large rocks through the first-floor windows, someone poured lighter fluid into the office and then someone later tossed burning material into the same area, said Chris Liedle, a spokesman for the Sheriff’s Office.

“A line is crossed when peaceful protest becomes violent,” Sheriff Mike Reese said during a media video conference.

He called the setting of the fire, the “profane and hateful” graffiti to the county headquarters “simply reprehensible,” actions that serve “no legitimate purpose.”

The sheriff, who keeps the county a sanctuary for illegal aliens, is finally upset after 84 days of riots, because they attacked his building.

Mayor Ted Wheeler, in a prepared statement, condemned the “criminal destruction” to the county building, and Police Chief Chuck Lovell and Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt denounced the pattern of violence in separate statements.

84 days later.

What’s missing, Portland Deputy Police Chief Chris Davis said, is a “very clear and very consistent public messaging from elected leaders and the community at large, that this behavior is not how we do business in Portland. It’s violent, it’s not productive.”

Well, good luck with this, Chief Davis: Democrats aren’t interested in any of that. They’ve been propping up the Marxists in Black Lives Matter and the unhinged Antifa. And you can bet this will play a role during the GOP convention.

Bummer: Democrats Remove Ending Fossil Fuels Tax Breaks From Platform

By William Teach August 19, 2020 – 4:37 pm

It’s not like the Democrats were going to give up their own use of fossil fuels, especially the Elites. They were just going to disallow fossil fuels companies to use the same tax breaks, what Dems call “subsidies”, as every other company, which would lead to massive lawsuits involving the phrase “equal treatment under the law”

Democrats backtrack and remove demand to end fossil fuel tax breaks from platform

In the midst of the convention, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) has dropped from its party platform a demand for no more oil and gas subsidies and tax breaks, Huffington Post reported on Tuesday.

The statement – “Democrats support eliminating tax breaks and subsidies for fossil fuels, and will fight to defend and extend tax incentives for energy efficiency and clean energy” – originally appeared as an amendment to party demands last month and was approved, the report said.

However, the final draft of the platform was missing the statement, HuffPost reported. The Independent has contacted the DNC for comment.

Unsurprisingly, many climate cultists are upset, such as Excitable Bill McKibben

Bill McKibben, environmentalist and founder of climate non-profit 350.org, tweeted: “Hoping this was just a mistake, because ending fossil fuel subsidies is a no-brainer. Pretty sure it was in the 2016 platform (pretty sure I wrote it in, in fact) Seems like something they could and should fix easily.”

You could charitably call all the tax breaks to fossil fuels companies as “subsidies”, considering the definition “A subsidy is a benefit given to an individual, business, or institution, usually by the government. It is usually in the form of a cash payment or a tax reduction. The subsidy is typically given to remove some type of burden, and it is often considered to be in the overall interest of the public, given to promote a social good or an economic policy.” But, government does that across all industries, some more than others. Tax the very specific tax breaks away from the fossil fuels industry and it will survive. Sure, costs will go up and the cost of fuels will go up and the cost of living will go up, but, it will survive. Look at Europe, where oil and gas costs much more. People still drive.

Take those same very specific tax breaks away from the “green” energy companies, specifically wind and solar, and they will barely survive, if not die. That isn’t even accounting for the direct loans, which never seem to get repaid, to these companies using the People’s Money. The only people who would be able to afford it would be the uber-rich, and they didn’t use it much prior to all the massive tax breaks and such. Most R&D would end. Private companies aren’t going to piss money away when it won’t eventually make them a profit.

Anyhow, can’t wait for the continued freakout from the climate cultists.

Says the Marxists.

Biden Plans To Tax The Rich Or Something

By William Teach August 19, 2020 – 10:30 am

Going to the same well again and again

Biden’s tax plan: Eyes on the 1% and corporations like Amazon

…

Trump’s press secretary opened by saying that “the first night of the Democratic convention left out the fact that Joe Biden would raise taxes on more than 80% of Americans by at least $4 trillion.”

The numbers were slightly off but are true in the broad strokes. According to analysts, Biden’s tax plan would raise “between $3.35 trillion and $3.67 trillion” in the coming decade.

And Biden himself isn’t denying it. He has directly said to high-income earners that “if you elect me your taxes are going to be raised.”

Biden’s increases would “primarily aim at raising taxes on higher earners, raising taxes on corporations, and raising taxes on business and investment income for those higher earners,” says Garrett Watson, a senior policy analyst at the Tax Foundation who has analyzed the candidate’s plans.

Does anyone actually think that Joe is going to raise the taxes of those who donate and vote Democrat? Think Hollywood is going to pay more? How about progressive companies like Amazon and, well, Progressive Insurance? Big companies like NBC, CBS, ABC, Washington Post, NY Times, and LA Times, among others? Or will there be tons of loopholes? It’s the slightly smaller ones that will bear the burden.

Biden’s tax plans have been analyzed by a range of groups, including the American Enterprise Institute to the Brookings Institution. A combination of multiple analyses found that Biden’s plans would mean that the richest Americans would see their taxes go up by 13% to 18%. Americans of more moderate means would also see tax increases, but they have been called “indirect” and amount to a smaller increase: around 0.2% to 0.6%.

In other words, in the Real World, your cost of living will go up, most likely, several percentage points, because the companies that do actually pay higher taxes (and, we can debate large companies and their tax burdens) will pass those on to the consumer.

Biden’s tax plan – if implemented – would slow the pace of economic growth. Watson estimates GDP growth would be reduced by about 1.5% over the long term, and notes that hard conversations will be needed – whoever is president – after the pandemic ends about spending cuts and the “tradeoff when it comes to these tax hikes in the form of reduced growth.”

You know what this will also do? Decrease hiring. If the cost of doing business goes up, something has to bear that burden. And that would be hiring, especially part time, and would also hit potential employee pay. Let’s not forget Democrats want to make the minimum wage $15 an hour, so, yeah, things would be bad for business.

Your Fault: Beer To Taste Different Due To ‘Climate Change’

By William Teach August 19, 2020 – 8:41 am

Thanks. Just because of your selfishness in eating burgers, driving fossil fueled vehicles, and living a modern lifestyle, rather than giving up meat, paying $130K for a Tesla, and paying extra taxes to The Government, beer will taste different

Climate Change Will Make Beer Taste Different (Yes, Really)

Editor’s Note: This is a guest post by Colleen Doherty, an associate professor of molecular and structural biochemistry at NC State whose work focuses on the connection between time and stress in plants. This post is part of a series highlighting ways that NC State is helping us understand, mitigate and prepare for the impacts of climate change.

Although centuries old, beer is continually changing. New trends in everything from ingredients to brewing styles alter how a beer tastes. But not all changes are under our control. Beer is almost certainly going to taste different in the future, because the ingredients themselves are changing.

Specifically, beer won’t taste the same due to the effects of changing global temperatures on hops and other components of beer.

A 2018 report in Nature pointed out that beer prices may rise due to climate change. Increasing temperatures and more frequent droughts will drive up the costs of beer ingredients such as hops and barley. However, the impacts they identified are just the foam on the surface – the taste of beer will change too. That’s because changes in temperature and rainfall affect the biochemistry of beer ingredients like hops – and that makes them taste different.

But rising temperatures aren’t the only problem. My research focuses on the fact that the timing of our current temperature increase is different than anything we’ve seen since agriculture started thousands of years ago. These changes in daily and seasonal temperature patterns – warmer nights, earlier springs – disrupt how plants function, hurts yields, affects the cost of the ingredients, and affect how beer tastes.

Basically, this is what has always happened. There’s no need to bringing witchcraft, er, anthropogenic causation into the Blamestorm. It was warmer during the Global Climate Optimum and Roman Warm Period. What caused those? As well as the other warm periods during the Holocene? What brought on the Holocene, ending the last glacial age? What caused the cool periods between the warm ones?

…However, one majorly scary aspect of climate change, at least from the beer production perspective, is that nights are warming faster than days. (This is actually scary for lots of crops).

Suffering through a warm summer day in North Carolina, you can predict that the night will be cooler than the day, but not too cold. Likewise, in winter, even though it’s cold outside, there’s a good chance it will be even colder at night. The difference between the day and night temperature difference is relatively consistent all year round here in North Carolina. There’s always a few exceptions where a cold front moves through, and the night will be warmer than the day, but these are rare, happening no more than a few times per year. However, this consistent degree-difference between day and night is shrinking, mostly because nights are getting warmer.

Nights are warming faster than days due to something called the “boundary layer effect,” which basically means that subtle changes in daytime temperature are amplified at night. One effect of this, for example, is that the number of nights where the temperature dips below freezing (32?) has decreased over the last 50 years. And warmer nights also affect the compounds produced by hops.

Now, that is a big concern, but, so far, it cannot be definitively be proven that this is mostly/solely caused by Mankind’s output of greenhouse gases (nor can the whole of a changed climate). Certainly, things like land use, the urban heat island effect, and aerial pollutants have an effect.

None of this matters. It is simply an attempt to scare Other People into joining the Cult of Climastrology.

Democrats Are Against Trump, But, What Are They Actually For?

By William Teach August 19, 2020 – 8:10 am

Night two of the Democratic National Convention was about as boring as night one, though it did explain why Unhinged Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was only given 60 seconds

(Fox News) Firebrand Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., called out “racial injustice, colonization, misogyny” as she helped nominate progressive Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-VT., to be the 2020 Democratic presidential nominee.

While former Vice President Joe Biden was assured to win the nomination vote, Sanders did earn delegates during the primary and was formally nominated during the Democratic National Convention proceedings.

That’s right, she nominated Comrade Bernie. She didn’t really talk about polices, just grievances, which is strange, since they were things the Democrats started and still do in Democratic Party run cities.

Democrats are against Trump — but what are they for?: Goodwin

Watching the long slog of the second night of the Democrat’s convention, a famous Winston Churchill line came to mind: “Take this pudding away—it has no theme!”

Old and young, progressive and super progressive, left and far left, black, white, Asian, Latino, Native American — they all had something to say. But if there was a theme running through the night, I couldn’t find it.

Oh, yes, Donald Trump bad, got that. Really, really bad. Ok, got that, too.

Then what? What do Democrats stand for and, more to the point, what are they promising voters if they gain the White House? I honestly don’t know.

I do know that, once again, they failed to address the violence erupting across the country, as if it isn’t happening. Or maybe they are afraid to criticize it because it will somehow come off as pro-police, which would infuriate the Black Lives Matter movement the party is embracing.

For whatever reason, Dems are ceding a huge issue to Trump, one that resonates across income, race and geographic boundaries. Public safety is a civil right and it matters to everyone.

That’s just one of many areas where it sometimes feels as if the Dems are keeping their plans secret and will spring them on us after the election. More likely, they haven’t yet made up their minds and the agenda, to put it kindly, is still a work in progress as they sort out their ideological differences.

Michael Goodwin has more, worth the read, but, it all comes down to “what is their agenda? What’s the platform?” If they think they can get away with ignoring it, they’re forgetting who is the GOP nominee, and that the GOP convention will feature Trump and the rest talking about why people should vote Republican, and contrast that with what the Democrats really want to do. Sure, slamming your opponent is Politics 101, but, at some point, you have to say what you want to do differently. Knowing the Democrats platform, it’s always amazed me that people buy in, because they never seem to realize that it will damage their own lives, freedom, cost of living, earnings, choice, and liberty.

Doug Schoen: Democratic Convention– What worked and what didn’t on second night

In terms of what worked on Tuesday night, the Democrats in many ways succeeded in reminding many Americans why they had happily voted for the Democratic ticket and supported Democratic policies in the past.

Indeed, the Democratic Party and policies that were on display Tuesday night—for instance, those of Clinton—are of a different period which, in large measure, succeeded in taking the country in a mostly positive and successful direction.

However, in terms of what did not work, with Ocasio-Cortez’s speech, the Democrats did not succeed in convincing those Americans that they can trust this new Democratic Party to pursue policies and interests that will bring the country together and move us forward in a moderate and inclusive direction.

The policies of Clinton were a far, far different era. Bill may have been a scummy politician (then, most are scummy, they’re just better at hiding it), but, things mostly went pretty well for the country, especially since he had his Third Way and worked with the GOP House to make things better. I doubt a president Gore or Kerry would have been all that much different (though Kerry would have been horrible for foreign policy). Things took a pretty hard left turn when Bush 43 won re-election in 2004, and even worse with Obama in 2008, when the Progressives/Marxists/Modern Socialists felt emboldened to push their agenda of authoritarianism/Statism.

But, trotting out Bill Clinton in the era of #MeToo? Oh, that’s right, they’ll dispose of it for political convenience. And you know who was missing? Hillary. No mentions or sightings. Maybe she’ll be featured tonight? Heck, maybe someone will actually talk policy.

Bat Soup Virus Response Proves We Can Solve The Climate Crisis (scam) Or Something

By William Teach August 18, 2020 – 3:00 pm

Have you enjoyed lockdown, which never seems to really end? You don’t really have to get beyond the subhead (but, we will)

‘Coronavirus response proves we can solve climate crisis’ says top Lancaster academic
Pointless, wasteful activities have pushed us to the edge of a global climate crisis – but coronavirus has proved we have the ability to step back from the edge, says one of Britain’s leading sustainability thinkers.

Prof Mike Berners-Lee – a leading authority on calculating carbon footprints – says he feels more hopeful that we can effectively tackle climate change than he had for years.

But the Lancaster University academic has criticised our “incredible capacity” to “completely pointlessly” waste natural resources on activities such as space tourism and cryptocurrency mining which are responsible for huge amounts of additional CO2 entering our atmosphere.

In an interview with Steven Day, co-founder of 100 per cent renewable energy supplier Pure Planet, Prof Berners-Lee said: “Some things give me more hope than I’ve had for years, but we are so heading for trouble now in a short time frame – I can’t tell you exactly how it’s going to pan out and what year – but it’s not far off now so we really need this change right now.

“The virus has shown that we are capable of a level of change that a lot of us have assumed is impossible because we have always lived a certain way but we’ve just shown that of course you can do it.

“For me, the optimism started growing before this virus hit because of kids taking to the streets and joining protests like Extinction Rebellion. I was noticing a change of attitude in the business community too. It was beginning to feel like this intractable system was beginning to show some cracks.

“And then the virus happened. It was a distraction but has proven that change is possible. We can choose how we live and it can be different. So it’s an interesting moment and there’s everything to play for. I really hope we come out of lockdown in a better way and everything about the recovery needs to go through our deep green lens now.”

I don’t really need to remind you of the draconian, authoritarian measures put in place by government at all levels, right? Ones which are still in place? Things that are arbitrary? Why can people go to a store or restaurant (reduced capacity) but not church (at reduced capacity)? Why can kids go to school in NC, go to restaurants, but not the gym or bar or movie theater (not that there’s anything to actually watch, and wasn’t much before Bat Soup)? Why are people yelled at for being in their own front yards? Told they can’t go to their vacation homes? Well, not told, so much as threatened. Busted for being out on a paddleboard in the ocean when not near anyone? Have snitch lines for people out and about? Must I go further? How about the unemployment and lowered inventory? You know all this stuff. This is the world Warmists are pushing, yet, they never seem to get the idea that this will all apply to themselves.
