'In Case of Grid Meltdown, Break Glass':
Britain Now Issuing Supply List
Posted By: Dreadnought, 12/6/2023 12:43:45 AM
ALWAYS better safe that sorry, right? RIGHT? This warning from the government wouldn’t have anything to do with the current, tenuous state of the country’s electric grid in the face of, oh, say, something like “winter,” would it? Come to think of it, the Brits were having an awful touch and go time of it this weekend. The UK will be reliant on gas for up to two-thirds of its electricity this weekend as global policymakers at COP28 are reminded of the importance of fossil fuels. Freezing temperatures, resulting in a cold snap across the country, has seen demand soar, while outputs from windfarms have plunged.

After Exec Dir. Admits He Was 'Happy'
Hamas Attacked Israel 4 replies
The White House is frantically trying to distance itself from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) after its executive director Nihad Awad claimed he was “happy” to watch the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attack unfold. Speaking at the 16th Annual Convention for Palestine in the U.S. on Nov. 24, he said that the people of Gaza were merely “breaking the siege”:
The people of Gaza only decided to break the siege, the walls of the concentration camp, on October 7th, and yes. I was happy to see people breaking the siege and throwing down the shackles of their own land and walk free into their lands that they were not allowed
While Democrats push for the erasure of biological reality in California, Californians are increasingly rejecting the gender ideology and its outcomes, a November poll found.
Deseret News reported on the results of the poll Wednesday, noting that lawmakers’ embrace of transgenderism appears to be wildly out of step with what Californians actually believe. For several years, Democrats in the state have led the charge: in 2019, they passed the Gender Recognition Act, which allows individuals to change their sex on government documentation. Another law, SB107, turned California into a “sanctuary state” for transgender youth who are fleeing other states to pursue sex-change hormones and procedures.
A University of Pennsylvania donor pulled a $100 million gift from the university on Thursday over President Liz Magill’s comments at a recent House committee hearing on campus antisemitism.
Attorneys for Ross Stevens, the founder and CEO of Stone Ridge Asset Management, wrote a letter to the university on Thursday explaining that Stevens would withdraw his donation of limited-partnership units in Stone Ridge that were intended to fund the Stevens Center for Innovation in Finance. Stevens made the donation, which is currently valued at around $100 million, in December 2017.
Attorneys Neil Barr and Dana M. Seshens argued that the university violated the terms
The House Education and the Workforce Committee announced Thursday it will investigate Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the University of Pennsylvania over allegations that the prestigious colleges have failed to address rampant antisemitism on their campuses.
The announcement comes after Representative Elise Stefanik (R., N.Y.) and fellow committee Republicans grilled Harvard president Claudine Gay, University of Pennsylvania president Liz Magill, and MIT President Sally Kornbluth during a contentious Tuesday hearing on the rise of antisemitism in the wake of the Hamas attack of October 7.
Elon Musk wants Bob Iger fired.
The X owner and erratic billionaire conspiracy theorist went on a rampage Thursday against the Disney chief executive, assailing Iger for the Magic Kingdom’s decision to pull advertisements from his imperiled social media platform, and declaring that Iger should be forcibly removed from his job.
“He should be fired immediately,” Musk, who often uses his influential perch to bully critics and others, wrote about Iger on the platform formerly known as Twitter. “Walt Disney is turning in his grave over what Bob has done to his company.” Representatives for Disney did not immediately respond to a request for comment. But Iger is widely credited for boosting
The ironic, market-driven death of DEI
6 replies
Headlines that warn of impending doom for the diversity, equity, and inclusion industrial complex have accelerated in recent months, sparking fears among DEI foot soldiers that the end is near.
Axios and others have reported on the slowdown in corporate DEI hiring this past year, citing Republican efforts to poison the social justice money well. DEI programs are also being slashed in universities and state governments following the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down affirmative action in universities and a bevy of new anti-DEI bills passing in statehouses across the country.
The shift has been accompanied by heaps of bad press for the cultural movement following the Oct. 7

Even Triggered BlackRock, and the Ratio
Was Glorious 7 replies
Ron DeSantis came out swinging in the latest GOP primary debate, and he landed so many blows that he even triggered BlackRock.
The exchange that kicked things off was over the proliferation of ESG in the business world. DeSantis pointed out that he was the only person on stage who had taken tangible action against it, including targeting BlackRock specifically. Apparently, Larry Fink's outfit didn't take too kindly to that. Someone from their social media team rushed to put out a snooty response about how BlackRock is really just a benevolent retirement fund. The ratio was glorious, and it's still building. Imagine fibbing that brazenly and thinking you aren't going

Bowman for pulling a fire alarm in House

WASHINGTON — The House will again vote Thursday on punishing one of their own, this time targeting Democratic Rep. Jamaal Bowman for triggering a fire alarm in one of the U.S. Capitol office buildings in September when the chamber was in session.
If the Republican censure resolution passes, the prominent progressive will become the third Democratic House member to be admonished this year through the process, which is a punishment one step below expulsion from the House.
“It’s painfully obvious to myself, my colleagues and the American people that the Republican Party is deeply unserious and unable to legislate,” Bowman said Wednesday as he defended himself during floor debate. “Their censure
The highest number of illegal immigrants in a single day crossed onto U.S. soil on Tuesday. More than 12,000 crossed the border that day.
In an interview Wednesday, DHS Secretary Mayorkas claimed that the border security measures congressional Republicans want to put into a foreign aid bill are “violence to our fundamental values.” What are these security measures that are so offensive to the man who lies that the southern border is closed and secured? They are “building a border wall, increasing the number of Border Patrol agents, limiting asylum, and narrowing Biden’s power to parole illegal immigrants.” Talk about bad timing. Americans are fed up with the Biden

Global Domination Project 4 replies
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s government in Rome has officially informed Beijing that Italy is withdrawing from the Communist Party government’s Belt and Road global domination scheme.
Following weeks of negotiations, Italy sent a letter to China stating its intentions to formally withdraw from the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), Xi Jinping’s pet project to expand Chinese influence throughout the world. The letter was said to have been sent to Beijing several days ago but was not made public until a report on Wednesday from the Milan newspaper Corriere della Sera.
While Rome had attempted to modify its agreement before the renewal deadline set for the end of the year,
On Dec. 7, 1941, a surprise attack at the Pearl Harbor naval base in Hawaii would officially begin the United States' involvement in World War II.
That day, which President Franklin Roosevelt would notably call "a date which will live in infamy," is now recognized each year as National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day.
According to the National Park Service, 2,403 service members and civilians were killed and another 1,178 people were injured in the attack. Two U.S. Navy battleships – the USS Arizona and the USS Utah – were also permanently sunk, and 188 aircraft were destroyed. Commemorations are held every year in Hawaii and across the country
The Presidents Walk It Back

Yesterday the presidents of Harvard, MIT and Penn provoked outrage when, in the course of testimony before a House committee, they wouldn’t say whether a call for genocide against Jews would violate their universities’ policies. The blowback from donors and alumni must have been nuclear, as today both President Claudine Gay of Harvard and President Liz Magill of Penn released statements recanting yesterday’s testimony: Actually it was Gay who “confused a right to free expression with the idea that Harvard will condone calls for violence against Jewish students.”
Magill released this video apology:

Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “The Last Word” that if former President Donald Trump wins the election in 2024, “our democracy, our flag, our Constitution, the future of our children” is at stake.
Anchor Lawrence O’Donnell said, “What are the stakes for the world when they hear Donald Trump say he would be a dictator on day one, if he is elected president again, and what do dictators like Vladimir Putin here in that statement?”
Apparently, I Am A Sexist Bigot

The director of Disney’s latest flop, The Marvels, Nia DaCosta, is blaming hateful sexist, misogynists for the massive box office failure.
What is probably really upsetting Ms. DaCosta is that more men than women bought tickets to the film. Women, like me, are not at all interested in paying for a film starring macho women.
No thanks, Disney. Real women like strong men, even fake ones portraying superheroes.
The more I read about the antics of the hysterical Karens or view the sickening videos of moronic exhibitionists on TikTok, the more convinced that I am a female chauvinist.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) is ordering Michigan’s state fleet of vehicles to be 100 percent electric by 2040.
In a new directive Tuesday, Whitmer announced a move to bring the state’s fleet of vehicles down to zero greenhouse gas emissions in fewer than two decades. The goal, Whitmer wrote in the order, is “essential” for her administration’s green energy agenda.
Whitmer wrote in the directive: Michigan is on the cutting-edge of mobility and electrification. Our world-leading auto industry is making the switch to electric, and we continue to attract battery, semiconductor, and clean energy investments from other states and nations. We must usher the future of mobility and clean energy into Michigan
Earlier today Joe Biden threatened U.S. troop engagement with Russian troops if congress doesn’t provide further funding for Ukraine. As the premise is pushed, a failure to fund the Ukraine war means Russia will move beyond Ukraine into a NATO country. The premise is nonsense. WATCH: (video) White House – […] “Congress needs to pass supplemental funding for Ukraine before they break for the holiday recess. It’s as simple as that.
Frankly, I think it’s stunning that we’ve gotten to this point in the first place.

Schindler’s List director Steven Spielberg has commented publicly for the first time about the October 7 Hamas terror attacks that killed 1,200 Israelis, saying he never imagined he would see “such unspeakable barbarity against Jews in my lifetime.”
Steven Spielberg’s comment appeared in a Friday announcement from the USC Shoah Foundation about a new campaign to record eyewitness testimony to the Hamas attacks.
“[Chairman] Rob Williams and the team at the USC Shoah Foundation are leading an effort that will ensure that the voices of survivors will act as a powerful tool to counter the dangerous rise of antisemitism and hate,” said Spielberg, who founded the organization in 1994.
America may be on the verge of World War III with the world’s largest nuclear power if the most influential conservative media figure is correct.
Tucker on Thursday afternoon dropped a bombshell that Bided Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told Congressional members in a briefing Wednesday that if Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky does not receive more American taxpayer money for Ukraine, he said the Regime would send their relatives to fight Russia.
This is an open threat to start World War III.
Here is Tucker’s full shocking post:
The House voted to censure Rep. Jamaal Bowman for pulling the fire alarm during a vote to avert a government shutdown. The vote was 214 to 191, with five members voting 'present.'
Four Democrats, all on the Ethics Committee, voted 'present' - as is standard for ethics-related matters. Three Democrats voted to censure Bowman - Rep. Jahana Hayes, Conn., Chris Pappas, N.H., and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, Wash.
One Republican voted against it: Rep. Andy Harris of Maryland.
Rep. Lisa McClain, R-Mich., forced a vote on the resolution this week by making it 'privileged.'
As President Trump continues to dominate the 2024 GOP presidential primaries, attention has turned to who he will pick as his running mate. Now, we have a list of names Trump and his team are reportedly considering, but a potential wild card lurks.
On Thursday, Axios published an extensive piece detailing the potential makeup of a Trump Cabinet in a second term. The 45th President and his team’s primary focus is ensuring all positions in government will be filled with people loyal to the America-first agenda and Trump.
As Gateway Pundit readers know, Trump’s first term was marred by disloyal RINOs and globalists seeking to sabotage him at every turn.

Ramaswamy Respond to Former Gov’s Newfound Popularity 15 replies
Ron DeSantis and Vivek Ramaswamy spent quite a bit of air time Wednesday evening zeroing in on Nikki Haley on an array of policy positions, suggesting a tacit acknowledgement from both candidates the former U.N. ambassador and South Carolina governor continues to enjoy some momentum among donors and in early state polls, even as Trump maintains a comfortable lead.
Drafting off of an opening question that focused on Haley’s lucrative relationship with wealthy donors and major corporations, Ramaswamy and DeSantis began the fourth GOP presidential debate in Tuscaloosa, Ala., arguing that the newly wealthy career politician is a poor fit for the current populist moment.
