Brandon Tells Us About The IRA, Forgetting About Inflation Reduction

By William Teach August 18, 2022 – 7:00 am

Most likely, one of Biden’s people wrote it, and he has zero idea, being back in Delaware again

3 things everyone should know about the Inflation Reduction Act

Today, I signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law — one of the most significant laws in recent history. With this law, the American people won and special interests lost. The Inflation Reduction Act does so many things that so many of us have fought to make happen for years and years.

There are three things everyone should know about the Inflation Reduction Act. First, we are lowering costs for working families.

How?

We are giving Medicare the power to negotiate for lower prescription drug prices. Seniors will pay less for their prescription drugs. The law caps their prescription drug out-of-pocket costs at $2,000 a year — no matter how many prescriptions they have. The big drug companies spent nearly $100 million to beat this law. We prevailed.

More BS about government run healthcare and stuff that you’ve already ready about many times. Then the climate scam stuff, which is really just going to hook up the upper upper middle class and rich folks (and China). We get some whining about Republicans, of course. Something about taxing the hell out of corporations and rich folks, who will either pass on the costs or just take their money elsewhere

Third, we demonstrated that government can work for working families.

There are those who hold a dark and despairing view of this country. Too often, we hand the biggest microphone to the critics and the cynics who delight in declaring defeat. We confuse noise with substance and obstacles with the end.

You know what was missing? How he plans to lower costs for working families. Reducing inflation. Read the whole thing. Not that long. The President of the USA cannot even say how his inflation reduction legislation is going to reduce costs on things like food, clothes, and energy, among others. It’s a pure scam. There are 3 things everyone should know about the Inflation Reduction Act:

  1. It doesn’t reduce inflation.
  2. It doesn’t reduce the temperature of the earth.
  3. It increases the size of government by at least 87,000 employees.

Have fun.

Apparently, It’s Time To Scaremonger The West Coast On Tsunami Doom

By William Teach August 17, 2022 – 3:00 pm

Seriously, would it be so bad if we lost the left wing Democratic Party run hellholes on the West Coast?

How West Coast residents should prepare for the threat of a tsunami

When most people hear the word “tsunami,” they may imagine a massive wave, but that’s actually a misconception that researchers in Washington state are trying to correct. Since the state’s coastline is at risk of being hit with a devastating tsunami following an earthquake of magnitude 7.5, the state is trying to educate the public about what it actually would be like.

The Washington State Department of Natural Resources released a wave simulation study in July and shared a bit of startling news: a tsunami in Puget Sound could engulf Seattle’s shoreline, leaving it under more than 20 feet of water within minutes.

Several videos released along with the study illustrate how an earthquake-triggered tsunami would most likely cause water to inundate the coastal areas around Seattle. From land, a tsunami functions and looks more like a storm surge from a hurricane than a tidal wave.

In the U.S. there are over 90 million people living in coastal counties, including more than 30 million on the West Coast. While tsunamis big enough to flood North America are rare, the data from the Washington study concludes that tsunami waves could reach the shoreline in fewer than three minutes in many areas of western Seattle, including parts of Bainbridge Island, Elliott Bay and Alki Point. The tsunami inundation and strong currents have the potential to continue for more than three hours from the start of the earthquake, according to the simulation.

This article is not the only one out there pushing Doom, which, let’s be honest, the news media has to do periodically.

The West Coast is considered to be at a high to very high risk for these phenomena because of tectonic plates that meet in this part of the country. Large earthquakes in these areas can cause the seafloor to rise and spark a tsunami. According to the National Weather Service, the U.S.’s most damaging tsunami was caused by the Great Alaska Earthquake of 1964, which was a magnitude 9.2. A 7.5 earthquake striking in the area is very unlikely in any given year, but it is possible.

The piece spends a lot of paragraphs on tsunamis, how they happen, the damage they can and have caused, but, can you guess why this interested me?

Some scientists and geologists believe climate change plays a role in these potentially devastating disasters, but mostly in Alaska, where melting glaciers are a real threat.

“As global warming continues to thaw glaciers and permafrost, landslide-created tsunamis are emerging as a greater threat — not just in Alaska, but in places like British Columbia and Norway,” said Woods Hole Research Center scientist Anna Liljedahl in a 2020 statement released by the state of Alaska.

How many will think Other People driving fossil fueled vehicles are responsible for earthquake created ones? The ones from thawing, which happens periodically in the Holocene, are localized. Ones like the Indonesian and Japanese tsunamis from the massive earthquakes cover a huge area. The Japanese one sent waves to California. Madagascar got some from the Indonesian. And, yes, the climate cult does link them to ‘climate change’. It’s a cult, not a science.

Unhinged Liz Cheney Loses Badly, Compares Herself To Lincoln In Ungracious Concession Speech

By William Teach August 17, 2022 – 10:30 am

So far, of the 10 Democrat helping GOP representatives who voted to impeach Trump the 2nd time, 4 decided not to run again, 2 will be running in November, and 4 have been ousted, with the latest being Cheney. Even with all the help from Democrats

Her concession speech may have violated campaign finance rules, due to an in-kind donation from a former CNN exec, Jeff Zeleny, who advises the moonbat J6 committee. And

Rep. Liz Cheney compares herself to Abraham Lincoln following resounding defeat in Wyoming primary

Following her primary election defeat to Harriet Hageman Tuesday evening, Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., used her concession speech to compare herself to former President Abraham Lincoln and hinted that her future in politics might not be finished just yet.

“The great and original champion of our party, Abraham Lincoln, was defeated in elections for the Senate and the House before he won the most important election of all,” Cheney told a crowd of supporters in Jackson, Wyoming. “Lincoln ultimately prevailed, he saved our union, and he defined our obligation as Americans for all of history.”

“Speaking at Gettysburg of the great task remaining before us, Lincoln said that, ‘We here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from this earth.’ As we meet here tonight, that remains our greatest and most important task,” she added.

Good grief, thinking a bit highly of herself, eh?

Trump added that “Liz Cheney is a fool who played right into the hands of those who want to destroy our Country!”

She’s basically been helping Democrats, who, supposedly want things opposite of what Cheney believes in, just like the other #NeverTrumpers

In her victory speech, Hageman vowed to be accountable to the citizens of Wyoming and said that she was “sick and tired of not having a voice in the U.S. House of Representatives,” referring to Cheney.

“Wyoming has sent the message that if you are going to claim to live in Wyoming, you better damn well live in Wyoming,” Hageman said. “Wyoming has drawn a line in the sand that we put you in power, you will be accountable to us, you will answer to us, you will do what is in our best interests, and if you don’t, we will fire you.”

Can anyone name how Cheney helped Wyoming? Hence why she lost the primary election 66.3 to 28.9, with 99% in. Loony Tunes even quoted Martin Luther King, Jr

(NY Times) That was evident in her paraphrase of a quote popularized by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. — “It has been said that the long arc of history bends toward justice and freedom. That’s true, but only if we make it bend” — and even more so a few minutes later, when she turned her attention to the Civil War.

Good grief. And

In the spring of 1864, after the Union suffered more than 17,000 casualties in the Battle of the Wilderness, Gen. Ulysses S. Grant had a choice, Ms. Cheney said: to retreat or to keep fighting.

“As the fires of the battles still smoldered, Grant rode to the head of the column,” she said. “He rode to the intersection of Brock Road and Orange Plank Road. And there, as the men of his army watched and waited, instead of turning north, back toward Washington and safety, Grant turned his horse south toward Richmond and the heart of Lee’s army. Refusing to retreat, he pressed on to victory.”

General Grant, President Abraham Lincoln “and all who fought in our nation’s tragic Civil War, including my own great-great-grandfathers, saved our union,” Ms. Cheney said. “Their courage saved freedom, and if we listen closely, they are speaking to us down through generations. We must not idly squander what so many have fought and died for.”

Yet, she was devoutly helping those who want to turn the U.S. into a Progressive (nice Fascism) paradise.

Surprise: Record Warming In 1954 Doesn’t Disprove Anthropogenic Climate Doom

By William Teach August 17, 2022 – 7:00 am

Nothing can possibly disprove the hypothesis of anthropogenic climate change/global warming, hence, it is a Belief, not a science

Record heat in 1954 does not disprove global warming

Social media posts claim a US heatwave in the summer of 1954 proves global warming is “only an agenda.” This is false; temperatures did break records in the Midwest that year, but experts say isolated weather events do not disprove the science of climate change, which has made heatwaves more frequent and intense.

“There was no ‘GLOBAL WARMING’ or ‘CLIMATE CHANGE’ agenda in 1954. The current rhetoric is only an agenda about power control and wealth redistribution,” says a July 28, 2022 Facebook post, which includes a photo of a newspaper article. “Stories like this are part of the reason they have backed off teaching history in public schools.”

Similar claims have circulated on Twitter here and here. As evidence, the posts cite a July 16, 2022 column in The Joplin Globe, a daily newspaper in Missouri.

“As hot as it is this summer, 1954 was so much worse,” the headline says.

But the posts misinterpret the article, which does not mention climate change. And scientists say global warming is making heatwaves more frequent and intense.

“No individual heat wave can prove or disprove global warming,” said Maren Hale, a climate researcher at the University of California-San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

Except, the same people are proclaiming that the current heat waves in the Northern Hemisphere are being caused by/made worse by ‘climate change’, just like they say every time there is one. Meanwhile, in the Southern Hemisphere, they are cold and wet.

In the column shared online, historian Brad Belk of Missouri Southern State University recalled his experience of summer 1954.

Belk is not a scientist and did not express opinions related to climate change. Instead, he mentioned the heatwave’s consequences on the local population and infrastructure.

Biden is not a scientist. Nor is Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Barack Obama, Al Gore, Bill Nye, or so many others, yet, we’re supposed to listen to them. ‘Climate change’ and global warming were not concerns back in 1954, people had more common sense and weren’t captured by a doomsday cult. It was just weather. These cultists will accept no data, no facts, nothing, because it is a Belief.

Here Are 4 Ways The IRA Will Kick In Immediately

By William Teach August 17, 2022 – 6:45 am

I’m sure there’s something about reducing inflation, right?

Inflation Reduction Act: 4 ways it will kick in right away

The signing Tuesday of the Inflation Reduction Act is set to kick off a parade of action from the Biden administration and other Democrats to sell the bill to the public. While some analysis shows it won’t meaningfully reduce inflation, the so-called IRA will devote hundreds of billions of dollars toward fighting climate change, reducing prescription drug costs, and cutting the deficit.

President Joe Biden and others will fan out around the U.S. in the coming weeks to discuss the bill, according to the White House — with Cabinet members traveling to 23 states just this month.

The coming Democratic message will likely focus on the aspects of the bill that could improve Americans’ lives immediately — including tax credits for electric vehicles and energy-efficient home improvements and key health care provisions.

Strange, they won’t be discussing how it can reduce inflation that is harming the working and middle classes? About how it will bring down food prices?

Here are the ways that the bill could be felt by November’s midterm elections — and what will take years.

  • Tax credits for energy related home improvements (if you can afford it, what with prices going up on all that stuff, and whether you actually need it. It will probably increase inflation as market forces cause prices to go up)
  • Expanded EV tax credits (great for the upper middle class and up. The majority of EV buyers make at least $150k-$200K a year. It won’t reduce inflation)
  • Health care changes (while it’s great to cap Insulin to $35 a month, that’s only for Medicare. And more government money for Obamacare, while the rest of us have to pay full boat. It won’t help inflation)
  • Oil drilling provisions (Who’s actually expecting Biden and the bureaucrats to allow this to actually happen? This is the one thing that could decrease inflation, but, it wouldn’t be soon, and, it won’t be allowed to happen)

So, really, nothing that helps the middle and working classes

In total, the bill is not expected to have a sizable impact on inflation. The Penn Wharton Budget Model recently predicted that the effort would slightly increase inflation until 2024 and then decrease it afterwards. Other studies have found modest deflation as a result of the bill.

It’s not clear whether the IRA will help Democrats during the midterm elections in November, though the president is projecting optimism. Biden recently said he expected it to help Democrats’ political fortunes because even the parts that are “not going to kick in for a little bit” will still be “really game-changing for ordinary folks.”

Is game changing now meant to denote “raise your cost of living and force you to purchase things you don’t want and can’t really afford”?

Brandon To Sign Major Climate (scam), Health, And Tax Bill In Between Fossil Fueled Flights

By William Teach August 16, 2022 – 3:00 pm

The Credentialed Media isn’t even trying to portray the IRA as an inflation reduction bill

Biden to sign major health, climate and tax bill Tuesday at White House ceremony

President Joe Biden plans to sign the Democrats’ massive climate, health and tax bill into law on Tuesday at the White House, marking a major accomplishment for his domestic agenda less than three months before midterm elections.

Biden will deliver remarks and sign the bill, known as the Inflation Reduction Act, at an event in the White House’s State Dining Room, the White House announced Monday.

It will likely be a smaller ceremony, with Congress out of session and most members involved in the bill’s passage out of town.

Taking advantage of some political momentum, Biden is interrupting his summer vacation for the signing just days after the House approved the measure, following Senate passage by just one vote amid some political drama. He has spent much of the past week in South Carolina.

Wait, what’s that about vacation?

Let me get this straight: Joe will take a fossil fueled motorcade from his fancy pants vacation rental to the Charleston airport, fly to D.C. (did he take the jumbo jet down, or the smaller presidential plane? Did the backup jumbo jet go with? How about protection from fossil fueled fighter jets?), be flown by fossil fueled helicopter to the White House, then turn around and take a fossil fueled helicopter flight to New Castle a few hours later, followed by a fossil fueled motorcade to his house after signing a bill that’s all about climate crisis (scam) stuff? And not one reporter will ask “Mr. President, if Doing Something about ‘climate change’ is so important, why aren’t you changing your own behavior?”

Trump Wants Raid Affidavit Released, DOJ Is 100% Against Idea

By William Teach August 16, 2022 – 10:30 am

Is Trump winging it here, or, does he have an idea what’s in the affidavit?

Former President Trump gives first interview since FBI’s Mar-a-Lago raid, vows to ‘help country’

Former President Trump called for the immediate release of the “completely unredacted” Mar-a-Lago affidavit in a late night post on Truth Social.

Trump said the move would be in the interest of “TRANSPARENCY.”

“There is no way to justify the unannounced RAID of Mar-a-Lago, the home of the 45th President of the United States (who got more votes, by far, than any sitting President in the history of our Country!), by a very large number of gun toting FBI Agents, and the Department of ‘Justice,'” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “But, in the interest of TRANSPARENCY, I call for the immediate release of the completely Unredacted Affidavit pertaining to this horrible and shocking BREAK-IN.”

Trump also called for the judge on the case to be recused from the case.

It would be very interesting to see the affidavit, because so many of the investigations into Trump and his people, happening since 2016, were based on false/manufactured/ginned up information, starting with the whole Russia Russia Russia investigation. Crossfire Hurricane. The pee tapes. Spying on a presidential candidate. Abuse of targets. And so much more

Trump’s post comes after the Justice Department filed a motion opposing the release of the affidavit that was used to justify the search of Mar-a-Lago.

“If disclosed, the affidavit would serve as a roadmap to the government’s ongoing investigation, providing specific details about its direction and likely course, in a manner that is highly likely to compromise future investigative steps,” the 13-page filing says.

“The fact that this investigation implicates highly classified materials further underscores the need to protect the integrity of the investigation and exacerbates the potential for harm if information is disclosed to the public prematurely or improperly.”

Wait, I thought the news and Democrats were saying that it didn’t really involve classified documents? Regardless, there had been negotiations for months, Trump had declassified most, if not all, as he can do when being president, and Team Trump had been cooperating. This wasn’t done for Obama’s 30k documents. This is continuing to look like a partisan fishing expedition. Heck, a couple of agents could have shown up with a warrant to look at the material, all nice and quiet, not a pre-dawn raid with lots and lots of agents to be shown on the Trump hating Credentialed media outlets. If this was against, say, Obama, the NY Times, among others, would be running furious opinion pieces, not a “straight news” article trying to defend the DOJ.

Many are thinking this has to do with the FBI and DOJ protecting themselves, along with previous employees, and Hillary Clinton

Your Fault: U.S. To Soon Have “Extreme Heat Belts” Or Something

By William Teach August 16, 2022 – 7:00 am

By soon, they mean 2053. Unless you are forced to pay a tax and take out long loans for an EV

A quarter of the U.S. will fall inside an extreme heat belt. Here are the states in the red zone.

Last month, just as record-setting heat waves scorched the U.K. and parts of Europe, some 60 million Americans experienced a string of hot and humid days that topped 100 degrees.

Prepare for more of these extremes.

New research and an accompanying planning tool show that across the U.S., on average, the local hottest 7 days are expected to become the hottest 18 days by 2053.

By that year, 1,023 U.S. counties are expected to exceed 125°F, an area that is home to 107.6 million Americans and covers a quarter of the U.S. land area, says nonprofit First Street.

First Street on Monday released the latest installment of a tool called Risk Factor that’s accessible free of charge, and increasingly incorporated into real estate listings, specifically through a partnership with Realtor.com.

Here’s what it looks like, per the pain in the butt formatted Axios piece, with all their bullet points, which have to be changed up to work with WordPress. The graphic is interactive at the link

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that most of those areas vote Republican, right? They aren’t trying to bring the scaremongering in a way to influence Republicans, right? Hopefully it means Liberals will stay away

According to First Street, the most severe shift in local temperatures is found in Miami-Dade county in Florida where the seven hottest days, currently at 103°F, will increase to 34 days at that same temperature by 2053.

BS

What’s more, the First Street model finds 50 counties, home to 8.1 million residents, are expected to experience temperatures above 125°F in 2023, the highest level of the National Weather Services’ heat index.

So, next year? Who’s held responsible for the scaremongering? Who is held responsible at news organizations publishing this doomsaying with zero pushback, zero accountability, zero skepticism, zero making them prove it? Will all the news outlets publishing this follow up to see the results next year?

By 2053, 1,023 counties, about 25% of the total U.S., are expected to exceed 125°F. This emerging area, concentrated in a geographic region that First Street calls the “extreme heat belt,” stretches from the northern Texas and Louisiana borders to Illinois, Indiana, and even into Wisconsin.

The piece is sorta leaving out that it will be the heat index, not the actual temperature. It’s very convenient using a timeframe that no one will remember. Much seems arbitrary. Why Wilson, Durham, Harnett, Nash, and Orange counties yes in 2053, but, not Wake, right in the middle of them? Which has a higher population, higher growth, and more urbanization and suburbanization?
