Day 2: Dump The Paris Climate Agreement
Posted By: 4250Luis, 11/26/2024 5:55:33 AM
During Donald Trump’s first successful presidential campaign, he promised to pull the U.S. from the Paris Agreement. He was unable to do so until the day after the 2020 election he lost, and the reprieve lasted only a little more than two months because Joe Biden rejoined the pact the day he was inaugurated. It’s another one of the many of Biden’s messes that Trump has to clean up. The U.S. should have never been a part of the Paris Agreement. Committing our country to cut greenhouse gas emissions, which means reductions in fossil fuel use, is foolish. Reaching the made-from-thin-air global temperature target:

Jack Smith's Election Interference Case
Against Donald Trump Is Officially Toast (Updated) 3 replies
Against Donald Trump Is Officially Toast (Updated) 3 replies
As reported earlier, Special Counsel Jack Smith formally moved to dismiss the D.C. election interference case against President-elect Donald Trump, citing Trump's reelection and DOJ policy not to prosecute a sitting president. (Smith also moved to dismiss the Government's appeal of the dismissal of the classified documents case against Trump.)
Now, Judge Tanya Chutkan has granted the Government's request, ordering the dismissal of the D.C. case as requested. As noted in the original article, the dismissal is without prejudice, and in the Memorandum accompanying her order, Chutkan further explains why she believes such is appropriate in this instance, noting,
Watching President Joe Biden’s antitrust agencies carry on, one wonders what economic function the government’s lawyers believe themselves to be fulfilling. The Department of Justice (DOJ)’s Antitrust Division, in its pursuit of Google Search, all but begs observers to raise this question. A district judge found for the government in August, ruling that Google violated the Sherman Antitrust Act. Having notched a finding of liability (for the moment, at least; the ruling may well fall on appeal), the DOJ now thinks of remedies, submitting a proposal to the court on Wednesday. In recent filings, the agency threw the proverbial kitchen sink at the court.

One of the most dishonest, slimiest members of Congress is speaking out after news broke on Monday that DOJ Special Counsel Jack Smith is moving to drop all charges against Donald Trump. Adam Schiff, who California saw fit to elect to the U.S. Senate recently, blew up on social media, attacking the Biden administration and the court system for supposedly failing to uphold the rule of law. As RedState reported, Smith cited two OLC opinions on a sitting president not being prosecutable in his decision. He also left the door open for future charges after Trump leaves office by not dismissing the current ones with prejudice,

We just survived a very long election year. For those of us who covered the political slog known as the Iowa caucuses — The Hawkeye Cauci, as El Rushbo used to call the quadrennial parade of pretenders and contenders — it was even longer. I have the bonus wrinkles and additional gray hairs (beyond the ones my kids and the ravages of time have put there) to prove it.
The outcome was going to make one side or the other really happy or really miserable. But at the end of the day, the ultimate winner or loser would be the republic the factions have been sparring over,
We are fast approaching Thanksgiving, and many Americans, no doubt, are wondering what they have to be thankful for.
There’s the skyrocketing cost of pretty much everything. Rising crime. Endless wars. And perhaps worst of all, this fear that we’re falling apart—that Democrats and Republicans can’t work together, that in the middle of the turkey and stuffing a brawl might break out between the “communists” and “fascists.” (There were no communists or fascists on the ballot this year, the partisan smears notwithstanding.)

It's a common situation where a state has big, politically conservative but sparsely populated rural and small-town areas that are outweighed by state politics by heavily populated, mostly liberal/progressive urban enclaves. California is one such place, and in the 2024 election things seem to have grown even more divided between the coastal urban enclaves and the eastern and northern parts of the state. The same situation holds sway in Colorado, where we lived for many years and where the Denver-Boulder Axis runs roughshod over the much more conservative eastern plains and much of the western slope.
European governments, rather than risking confrontation with Iran's regime, have preferred to maintain business relations and avoid taking any position that might upset the mullahs. Those countries are complicit in the suffering of the Iranian people. The unalleviated silence emboldens the regime, rather than holds it accountable.
After nearly four decades of maintaining diplomatic relationships with the Islamic Republic of Iran, the time is long overdue for Western nations to take a real stand. If these countries genuinely believe in the principles of "democracy" and "freedom" that they so often preach, they would look a lot more credible if they demonstrated this professed commitment by genuinely supporting Iranians yearning for freedom.
President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday selected Brooke Rollins, a former White House domestic policy adviser, to serve as his agriculture secretary.
“Brooke’s commitment to support the American Farmer, defense of American Food Self-Sufficiency, and the restoration of Agriculture-dependent American Small Towns is second to none,” Trump said.
“As our next Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke will spearhead the effort to protect American Farmers, who are truly the backbone of our Country.”
Rollins is the president and CEO of the America First Policy Institute, a think tank led by former Trump officials, which was created with the goal of preparing for the president-elect’s return to the White House.
The Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Mark Warner, says that the Chinese espionage campaign that penetrated more than a dozen U.S. telecommunications companies is the "worst telecom hack in our nation’s history — by far."The Chinese hackers called "Salt Tycoon" have been able to real-time phone conversations and demonstrated the ability to move from one network to another "exploiting relationships of trust,” Warner told the Washington Post.
The breaches were discovered in September and the scope of the intrusions is just now being revealed.
No one bats 1.000, and President-elect Donald J. Trump has made a whopper of a pick for labor secretary. He tapped Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer (R-OR), reportedly pushed hard by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. The reaction to this nomination has not been good, as Chavez-DeRemer voted for the Protecting the Right to Organize Act (PRO Act), which puts right-to-work laws in the crosshairs (via Politico): Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer (R-Ore.) is in the mix to be Trump’s Labor secretary and, notably, has the backing of Teamsters President Sean O’Brien, according to three people familiar with the conversations granted anonymity to share private discussions.
NBC host Chuck Scarborough announced his plans to retire from the network during a Thursday evening broadcast after over five decades in journalism according to NBC News.
“The time has come to pass the torch,” he told viewers. “Fifty years, eight months and 17 days after I walked into the door here at the headquarters of the National Broadcasting Company, I will step away from this anchor desk.”
Over the course of his career, Scarborough has reported from cities around the world, authored three novels and earned a total of 38 local Emmy Awards, among other accomplishments, according to his biography.

With the early primary polls on her side, Democrat Party insiders say Kamala Harris is thinking seriously about trying again for the presidency in 2028.
“Of course, she’s going to try and run again,” someone the Daily Mail describes as a “well-connected Democratic strategist,” told the outlet. The strategist added that Kamala’s ambition is only one thing driving this decision.
“Despite some hesitation, Harris has generated a lot of sympathetic reactions from professional Democrats in Washington,” reports the Daily Mail. “They describe her campaign as ‘near flawless’ but say she struggled to separate herself from President Joe Biden’s record.”
Joe Biden broke down in tears as Jill hailed her 'husband and hero' during the president's final farewell dinner at the White House, but there were no signs of Kamala Harris.
The outgoing US President was overcome with emotion as the First Lady paid tribute to his decades of service during a party on the South Lawn thanking Democrat supporters and donors.
On Friday evening, Jill praised her husband's 40 years of service, including his last four years as the President of the United States.
It wasn’t that long ago that I was typing the words “Kamala Harris” dozens of times a day. Then suddenly… it stopped. Elections had consequences for my keyboard. Her name has still been in the news, mostly because her campaign is still trying to collect money even after raking in over one billion dollars during election season. Just to show you how great she would have been on the economy, she somehow ended up millions in debt.
Mostly, however, she’s been pretty silent—and now we know why. Like he ever-vacationing boss Joe Biden, Harris is taking some leisure time, though she’s not relaxing in Rehoboth Beach, she’s sunning in Hawaii.
Meathead Wrestles With TDS

Maybe Pfizer could concoct a vaccine to prevent the transmission of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). Or at least lessen its symptoms. That would actually benefit people, both here and abroad.
Case in point: filmmaker, producer, and actor Rob Reiner, AKA “Meathead,” recently found himself in the grip of a particularly debilitating bout with TDS.
Not long after Election Day, Reiner tweeted: “I’m finding it very hard to sleep these days. It is 3:15 am. I am laying awake dreading January 20th 2025.”
He subsequently added, “I have big decisions to make. For the good of myself, my family, and my country.” Really, oh self-important one, what decisions are those?

After Hurricane Helene which left untold thousands of western North Carolina (WNC) residents homeless, volunteer Amish carpenters showed up to build temporary shelters, but the heartwarming story has a bitter ending.
There are a couple of stories here that the mainstream media hasn't reported on much. The first is that FEMA, for whatever reason, has not been up to the task after Helen destroyed or damaged approximately 100,000 homes in WNC, impacting more than 200,000 people. People are living in trailers or even tents all these weeks later — and as temperatures drop.
Here's the video aerial video that Matt von Swol took last week.
Biden-Harris Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith filed a motion Monday to dismiss all felony charges against President-elect Donald Trump in relation to the January 6 election-interference case.
Trump was accused of interfering in the 2020 election and was indicted in August 2023 on multiple charges, including conspiracy to defraud the U.S., conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.
On Monday, Smith petitioned U.S. District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan, who is presiding over the case, to dismiss the case in accordance with the DOJ’s policy to not prosecute sitting presidents.
Republican Sen. Rand Paul has hit out at the Democratic mayor of Denver for his plans to stop mass deportations of undocumented immigrants under President-elect Donald Trump. Mayor Mike Johnston has said that he plans to keep immigration officials out of the Colorado city, and warned that his planned resistance could compare to the infamous Tiananmen Square protests in China. 'You'd have every one of those Highland moms who came out for the migrants. And you do not want to mess with them.' (snip)Now, if Johnston were to start a similar protest, Paul said he could be removed from office and could even face potential criminal charges.
President Trump will remove transgender servicemembers from the military by executive order on day one of his presidency.
“The ban is expected to be wider ranging than a similar order made during his first term in office, when Trump prevented transgender people joining the armed forces, but allowed those already serving to keep their jobs. President Biden rescinded the order, but this time even those with decades of service will be removed from their posts, according to several sources,” The Times reported.
Elon Musk fired off a warning shot at dirty Senate RINOs on Sunday afternoon.
The squishy Trump-hating RINOs in the US Senate are already pushing back against the will of the American people and refusing to approve of President Trump’s cabinet nominees.
It should be noted, as Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) reminded the American people last week. NOT ONE SINGLE DEMOCRAT voted against ANY of Joe Biden’s radical America-hating nominees in 2020!
Not one!
On Friday the defense rested in the Daniel Penny trial, leaving many observers to ask what Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg was thinking in pursuing this case.
Over the course of the second-degree manslaughter trial, Bragg’s prosecutors tried to sell the narrative that the Marine vet overreacted and behaved “recklessly” when he restrained Jordan Neely on that F train back in May 2023. But a host of prosecution witnesses, Penny’s fellow passengers, knocked massive holes in that tale, as one after another veteran subway rider described how terror-stricken they were trapped on the train car with the angry, unstable, threatening Neely.

In a sea of redundant, woke garbage, Taylor Sheridan continues to produce shows with a refreshingly honest and fresh direction. From "Yellowstone" to "Tulsa King," he's not afraid to break the traditional mores dictated by Hollywood, and it's paid dividends with viewership.
His latest endeavor, "Landman," centers on the oil industry and contrasts the lives of Texas-based tycoons and workers, and one clip is already going viral. Billy Bob Thorton, who plays "Tommy Norris" in the show, lays out the reality of wind turbines and the human need for fossil fuels in a way that will have you fist-pumping.

Enraged Bronx Rep. Ritchie Torres slammed the administrations of Mayor Eric Adams and Gov. Kathy Hochul as “complicit” in the murders of three innocent people by serial stabber Ramon Rivera.
Torres said Rivera should never have been on the streets, but authorities failed and let him fall through the cracks. Those directly responsible should be fired, he demanded.
“I am writing to express alarm at the complicity of the State and the City in the murder of three New Yorkers, who were savagely stabbed to death in a homicidal rampage that took hold in broad daylight,”
