Exxon Knew! First Warming and Climate,
Now Plastics
Posted By: FlyRight, 10/27/2024 6:04:39 AM
“Exxon Knew!” The battle cry has inflamed and inspired climate activists for decades. Since the 1970s, they allege, Exxon Knew that human-caused climate change is “real” – but lied about it, claimed there wasn’t a “crisis,” and kept marketing its “planet-killing” fuels and petrochemical feed stocks. Now activists say Exxon Knew for years that very little plastic waste is actually recycled. The oil giant is deceiving regulators and consumers with claims that all plastics are recyclable and its “advanced recycling” processes keep enormous amounts of plastics out of landfills. ExxonMobil “campaign of deception” demands a lawsuit, says California Attorney General Rob Bonta.

Multiple Republican lawmakers have denounced comments from a speaker at former President Trump’s rally in New York on Sunday about Puerto Rico.
At the rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, comedian Tony Hinchcliffe said “I don’t know if you know this but there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now,” adding that he believes “it’s called Puerto Rico.” The comments from the comedian resulted in mixed reactions from the crowd.
In response to a report from The Hill on the comments,
CBS’ 60 Minutes ran a lengthy outline earlier this evening consisting of questions to former Acting ICE Director Tom Homan about how President Trump will deport millions of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’s illegal aliens. [Article with Video Here]
The sympathetic CBS framework is essentially what you would expect: (1) the illegal aliens are earnest people, part of a poor huddled mass; and (2) there’s no humanitarian way to deport millions of them. [Video Segment] Tom Homan does a great job dispatching the narrative engineers of CBS. There were an estimated 11 million illegal aliens in 2006.
MAGA comedian Tony Hinchcliffe sparked fierce outrage after hurling insults against Latinos in a series of purported jokes during his opener at the Trump rally in Madison Square Garden Sunday.
“I welcome migrants to the United States with open arms and by open arms, I mean like this,” the “Kill Tony” podcast host told the crowd — with hand gestures signally “no.”
He added: “It’s wild and these Latinos love making babies too, just know that — they don’t do that. They come inside, just like they did to our country. Republicans are the party with a good sense of Hinchcliffe, 40, cackled after taking the swipe,
Senator JD Vance (R-OH) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that when former President Donald Trump was speaking about “far-left lunatics who were rioting” when he said the military should go after the “enemy within.”
Vance said, “We’re not talking about the public policy. Can we talk about how Americans can’t afford groceries? Can we talk about how Americans can’t afford the cost of housing? Can we talk about that a lot of people out there and Erie, Pennsylvania, they’re the ones who suffer and die when people like Mark Esper and Mark Milley don’t obey the commander in chief’s orders.”
In the early days of this column, I confessed that T.S. Eliot is always with me. His words frequently rise to the surface of my mind. They are particularly powerful as a counter to despair—which is, in contemporary America, rife. As its citizenry has been preparing to exercise its right to vote next week, we have been warned that—regardless of the result—everything, everywhere is doomed: America’s education system, its birth rate, the planet, the Republican Party, the Democratic Party, democracy itself.
General Milley’s Attack on the Constitution
22 replies
Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, recently called Donald Trump a “fascist to the core” and “a wannabe dictator.” That such a senior military leader would feel comfortable saying this about his former boss is remarkable given that similar statements by officers have, in the past, resulted in severe punishment. The U.S. Constitution makes the president—the only democratically elected leader in the chain of command—commander in chief. Military leaders serving under the president owe him both deference and respect, regardless of whether their policy preferences differ.
I wonder if it ever dawns on all those well-paid, city-bred campaign consultants who come in to states like Montana, that nobody is listening anymore? Oh, sure. There are the political junkies, left and right, who thrive on the junk food of campaign advertising, doused with the vinegar of vitriol. But for most folks, the noise of the election season has reached a decibel level that so numbs the ears, that the messages are no longer getting through. We just want to be left alone to contemplate real ideas and real truths.

Everyone is wondering what will happen on November 5. Will Trump win the election? Or will the Democrats, aided by their Deep State operatives in the FBI and CIA, manage to “fortify” the election once again? This may surprise you, but I think he’ll win—although that’s not the end of the story, and there’s not necessarily a happy ending.
Two months ago, I didn’t think Trump would win.
I was confident that the same “cabal” of Deep State cronies Time Magazine wrote about in 2021—the secret junta that really rules America—would never allow Trump to win in a fair election.

Michelle Obama came out to support Kamala Harris during an event in Kalamazoo, Michigan, on Saturday. She hasn't done much for Harris; she hasn't been out there like her husband. This is her first campaign appearance apart from the DNC in August, and we're almost at the election. She scarcely could have done less. But to be fair, surrogates Barack Obama and Bill Clinton haven't been doing well for Kamala either. They seem to be accidentally throwing her under the bus and stepping in it more than helping her.
Barack basically attacked black men for not being sufficiently supportive of her and suggested they were misogynistic.
No Ring of Fire and No Endorsements

Friday and Saturday, the Israeli air force gelded Iran, diminishing the Mullahcracy’s sway and putting paid to the Russian-supplied defense systems. At the same time, the refusal of the owners of the Los Angeles Times and Washington Post to do the expected and endorse Kamala Harris for President has roiled their partisan activist staffs. Harris angered her rally crowd by promising a Beyoncé concert and delivering just a Beyoncé abortion speech at the same time Trump had an engaging three-hour conversation with Joe Rogan.

Americans should prepare for “unrest’ if former President Donald Trump completes the greatest political comeback in modern American politics, Democrats told the Wall Street Journal on Monday.
The potential for Democrats to perpetrate political violence undermines their narrative that Republicans, and especially the America First movement, are a threat to democracy.
“I think there’ll be some violence. I think there’ll be workplace fights. There’ll be fights at kids’ birthday parties. I think they’ll be protests and will turn violent,” Mark Halperin recently told Tucker Carlson.
Resistance groups, according to the Journal’s Joshua Chaffin and Valerie Bauerlein, believe citizens should be “bracing for unrest” if Trump wins:
Nevada’s Supreme Court on Monday ruled mail-in ballots without postmarks can be counted three days after Election Day.
The Democrats use mail-in ballots to cheat so the Trump campaign and Nevada GOP filed a lawsuit against the Nevada Secretary of State arguing against the state’s law allowing mail-in ballots to be counted after the election.
Nevada state law allows mail-in ballots with postmarks to be counted up to four days after Election Day.

Vice President Kamala Harris said she would take a cognitive test in response to former president Donald Trump’s insults about her low intelligence, challenging her opponent to do the same.
Harris responded to Trump’s Friday remarks in a nearly three-hour interview with podcast king Joe Rogan, in which the GOP nominee called Harris “a very low IQ person” and said she needs to take a cognitive test.
“Sure, I would challenge him to take the same one,” Harris said when asked by CBS News anchor Norah O’Donnell over the weekend whether she’d take a cognitive test.
“This is what he has resorted to,

Defeat Conservative Republicans in Senate

The long political career of Mitch McConnell (R – KY) is winding down in the same manner as previous RINO Senators such as John McCain, Mitt Romney, Jeff Flake, Bob Corker, etc – with betrayal, vendettas, and a repudiation of the conservative base. McConnell, the current Senate Republican Leader is actively trying to defeat incumbent Senate conservatives who are running for re-election, and he is making it clear that his role in his final two years in Congress will be to align with Democrats to thwart President Trump should Trump be elected to a second term.

Disaster Area Block Emergency Early Voting Locations 17 replies
The havoc wrought by Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina brought disaster to homes and families, but that has not stopped Democrats from blocking the approval of emergency early voting sites in the heavily Republican area. The refusal to act forced the GOP-led state legislature to intervene.
Democrat-run local elections boards in McDowell and Henderson counties have failed to approve additional early voting sites in the disaster-stricken area, despite increasing calls for more access to voting. Both counties voted for Donald Trump in 2020.
“Ensuring the right to vote is upheld for western NC citizens devastated by Hurricane Helene should be a non-partisan issue,

On Sunday, Kamala Harris tried to mislead another church in Pennsylvania but was interrupted by one of the attendees who firmly rejected her.
Kamala opened her remarks in Church of Christian Compassion in West Philadelphia by invoking a religious duty to vote, suggesting that casting a ballot for her was aligned with God’s will—a statement that garnered both laughter and applause from the congregation.
“In just nine days, we have the power to decide the fate of our nation for generations to come. And on this beautiful Sunday morning, I am reminded God expects us to help Him,” Harris declared. “We got work to do.”

Bad Bunny threw his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday by sharing a video of the Democratic presidential nominee shortly after a comedian at Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally made crude jokes about Latinos and called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage,” angering artists and some Hispanic Republicans. Bad Bunny, whose official name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is one of the most famous artists of the moment. His backing could be a boost for the Harris campaign as it tries to bolster its support with Latino voters, among whom Trump has been working to gain ground.
Well, I guess we can dispense with the quaint notion that unsecured steel "ballot boxes" deposited around California, Oregon, and Washington are secure. If anyone should hold those beliefs after reading what just happened in the Pacific Northwest, then you should probably have that person held on a 51-50 until they snap out of their delirium.
Overnight in Portland and Vancouver, in what are literally attacks on democracy, "incendiary devices" — IEDs — were used to incinerate "hundreds of ballots" in two ballot boxes overnight in Portland, Ore., and Vancouver, Wash.
Perhaps the stream of resignations at the Washington Post over the last few days will prove a feature rather than a bug for Jeff Bezos. After the Amazon multi-billionaire ordered the Post to pull its endorsement of Kamala Harris, staffers and editors erupted in outrage, while readers canceled subscriptions. Several staffers announced their intent to resign in protest over the paper's refusal to take an official stand against Donald Trump.
Having those staffers out of the way may help Bezos' reported overall strategy to restore ideological balance to his newspaper. The New York Times buried that in their report on Friday evening that Bezos intends to broaden interest
