‘Climate Change’ Is Totally Health Care Or Something

No one should be surprised when the cult of climastrology attempts to merge health care and climate doom, because, really, the whole point of the climate scam is Fascist government

Climate crisis meets nursing know-how

Climate change is one of the key public health threats of our modern time. Penn Nursing faculty are spearheading vital research and community engagement at the intersection of climate change and public health.

“Nurses are well equipped to understand the multiplicity of ways that climate change can impact someone’s health,” says Sara F. Jacoby, an associate professor of nursing at Penn’s School of Nursing. Leaders like Jacoby are driving nursing efforts to stand as a frontline defense against health crises influenced by our changing planet and preparing nursing students to be the future of those critical efforts.

How about preparing them to do their f’ing jobs as nurses, not be climate cult members?

Certain Philadelphia neighborhoods—particularly those with little green space amid the dark pavement— can become “heat islands” in the summer months, reaching temperatures as much as 12 degrees hotter than other communities in the city. But it’s not just the physical impacts of extreme heat that worry Jacoby, whose research areas include the social and structural factors related to firearm violence.

“In city environments, one of the most emergent exposures correlated to increased risk for firearm violence is heat, specifically heat islands,” she says. “Climate change will likely make things worse in places where there is already a relationship between extreme heat and endemic firearm violence.”

Right, right, it’s totally the heat that’s causing the residents of Philly and other Democrat run cities to shoot each other. But, these are the cult talking points, meant to create a path to put health care under the banner of global boiling.

You only have to listen to understand the meaning.

DHS Head Myorkas Admits People In NJ Are, In Fact, Seeing Drones In The Sky

Does this mean the rest of the federal government talkers can drop the whole “don’t believe your stupid eyes, believe The Government” talking point about the drones being planes and helicopters?

Feds say people in N.J. are ‘no question’ seeing drones, pledge action

A few days after federal officials downplayed widespread reports of mysterious night-time drone sightings in New Jersey, a member of President Joe Biden’s cabinet clarified Sunday that people are indeed seeing drones in the skies over the Garden State.

Well, at least some of those objects are drones, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said.

“There’s no question that people are seeing drones,” Mayorkas said during a television interview on ABC’s “This Week.“

He added that the U.S. government is taking action on the matter.

“I want to assure the American public that we in the federal government have deployed additional resources, personnel, and technology to assist the New Jersey State Police in addressing the drone sightings,” Mayorkas said.

What resources? No one is hearing from the NJSP about this. There are not articles with press briefings. No one is stopping the drones. But, here’s where it gets silly

Mayorkas added there are thousands of drones flown every day in the U.S., including recreational and commercial drones, and that the Federal Aviation Administration changed rules in 2023 so drones could fly at night. That, he said, could explain some of this.

Do citizens own very large drones? Did they suddenly start flying their heavy, large drones at night en mass? How about in the other states seeing this?

‘This has gone too far’: N.Y. governor calls for federal assistance after mysterious drones shut down airport

Mysterious drones in New York temporarily shut down runways at an Orange County airport, a frustrated governor said, calling for federal assistance and declaring that “this has gone too far.”

The New York Stewart International Airport was forced to close runways Friday night for about an hour “due to drone activity in the airspace,” Gov. Kathy Hochul said in a statement.

It is, again, against FAA regulations to fly a drone within a restricted airspace, it doesn’t matter whether day or night. Yet, all the feds are doing is talking.

“But in order to allow state law enforcement to work on this issue, I am now calling on Congress to pass the Counter-UAS Authority Security, Safety, and Reauthorization Act,” Hochul said. “This bill would reform legal authorities to counter-UAS and strengthen the FAA’s oversight of drones, and would extend counter-UAS activities to select state and local law enforcement agencies.”

“Extending these powers to New York State and our peers is essential. Until those powers are granted to state and local officials, the Biden Administration must step in by directing additional federal law enforcement to New York and the surrounding region to ensure the safety of our critical infrastructure and our people,” Hochul added.

There’s actually a lot of conspiracy theories about this, that the drones are meant to force passage of the bill, which would enable more warrantless surveillance of citizens and so much more. I’m not going to touch on that, or the other conspiracy theories. I think it’s just a lazy Biden administration.

It Starts: UK Spending Taxpayer Money For Climate Resiliencing Your Christmas Dinner

Maybe there are others, but, this is the first climate scam involving Christmas article I’ve seen this year

Taxpayer money invested in boosting climate resilience of Christmas dinner

Taxpayers’ money alongside other forms of finance has been invested in projects that can help to safeguard Christmas dinner staples from the impacts of climate change and other growing challenges, UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) has said.

The science funding body has been supporting innovators on work that will help the festive meal stay on British tables for future generations – as well as making it healthier and tastier.

This includes the development of alternative proteins, bioengineered super spuds, innovations to reduce antibiotic needs in farmed animals, and food that requires lower energy to cook.

The projects have been supported through bodies like the Technology Missions Fund, Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council and Innovate UK (IUK).

Seriously, it looks like the UK is more involved in mucking around with citizen lives than China at this point. If the cultists want to do something in their own lives, have it. Stop trying to force it on Everyone Else.

Alternative proteins will be a delicious and nutritious replacement or addition to turkey as the main course’s centrepiece, UKRI said, as it highlighted scientific players making advances in this space.

Oh, honey child, bless your heart. And piss off. Mind your business.

Democrats Say Mass Deportation Could Cause Massive Recession Or Something

Democrats will try anything to keep the illegals in the U.S., even if they are gang members, rapists, and murderers

Economic fallout from Trump mass deportations could eclipse Great Recession: Report

President-elect Trump’s mass deportation proposals threaten to gut the U.S. economy, shrinking growth and the labor force while juicing inflation, according to a report released Thursday by Democrats in the Congressional Joint Economic Committee (JEC).

Sourcing data from the Peterson Institute for International Economics, the report found that deporting 8.3 million immigrants in the country illegally would reduce GDP by 7.4 percent and reduce employment by 7 percent by 2028, likely resulting in zero overall growth throughout Trump’s second term.

Trump has proposed deporting all such immigrants in the United States — currently an estimated 11 million — and millions more currently protected by humanitarian programs such as Temporary Protected Status, who could lack legal status if those programs were cut.

One thing The Hill forgot to note as the ran with the Democratic Party talking point is that the U.S. Constitution charges the Legislative Branch in protecting the nation from foreign invasion, and that there are numerous laws against illegal immigration. Also, there is no way that number is 11 million: we’ve been hearing that number for decades, despite millions and millions coming in yearly under Obama and Biden.

What do Democrats have against booting out illegals who are criminals? Who shouldn’t be in the nation? Why do Democrats ignore the crime?

Why? Because they want to make them all citizens who will vote Democrat.

Tweets Totally Misrepresent The Biden Admin’s Failure With EV Chargers

Seriously, why is the AFP even bothering? Biden is gone in just over a month

Posts misrepresent progress of EV charging network under Biden

Electric vehicleA 2021 federal infrastructure bill allocated funds to build a network of electric vehicle charging points across the United States by 2030. But social media claims that the Biden administration spent $7.5 billion for just eight stations are false; after a slow rollout, 37 stations across 13 states are currently in operation, with hundreds more in the works from funding that has been appropriated but not yet spent.

“Pete Buttigieg will leave his post as Transportation Secretary having spent $7.5 BILLION to build 8 EV charging stations. His legacy will be squandering billions on something nobody wants, while millions struggle to afford the things they need,” a November 24 post on X says.

AFP found additional post on XInstagram and Facebook claiming only seven or eight charging stations resulted from the billions in funding nationwide.

OK, so, there are now a total of 37 charging stations from a law signed in November 2021. Really? Three years later and it is just 37? The Empire State Building was put up in 410 days. Seriously, as of March 2024 there were only 7 as pointed out by the Federal Highway Administration in the ultra-Conservative Washington Post.

According to the FHWA’s latest data, received by email on December 9, projects are underway for 24,800 federally funded chargers, of which 226 were operational at 37 stations across 13 states.

Most of the network’s stations are to be built in the second half of the decade, Buttigieg said on November 25, in response to critics online (archived here).

Really? Wasn’t it like super-important at the time of passage to get those chargers in place to help accelerate the switchover to EVs? And now they are going to be in the 2nd half of the decade?

(US DOT) “We are embarking on a transformative path to modernize the way we get to around in this country, making sure all Americans have the option to choose electric vehicles and spend less at the pump while making our air healthier,” said Secretary Granholm. “Our two agencies will work together to deliver on President Biden’s historic investments in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, starting today with a joint project to build hundreds of thousands of electric vehicle charging stations, to tackle the climate crisis and create manufacturing and construction jobs at the same time.”

“Transportation is responsible for the most greenhouse gas emissions of any sector in our economy – so it can and must be a big part of the solution to the climate crisis,” said Secretary Buttigieg. “With this announcement by DOT and DOE, we are taking a big step forward on climate by helping make the benefits of EVs more accessible for all Americans.”

I guess their excitement in 2021 wasn’t to actually get them done. Which will be complete first, the chargers or California’s highspeed train?

Weird: ABC News Settles Defamation Suit Filed By Trump

It’s almost like ABC doesn’t want their shady secrets coming out

ABC News, Stephanopoulos Settle Defamation Lawsuit with Trump, Pay $15 Million, Apologize

ABC News and anchor George Stephanopoulos agreed to settle a defamation lawsuit that President-elect Donald Trump had filed and will pay Trump $15 million, attorneys fees, and issue a public apology.

The Hill reported that the news outlet and Stephanopoulos agreed to issue a “public apology” and to provide $15 million that would go towards Trump’s “future presidential library.”

The outlet noted that “under the settlement agreement,” along with “$15 million in escrow” to go towards Trump’s future library, ABC News “agreed to pay $1 million in attorney’s fees and add an editors’ note to the bottom of the relevant article.”

ABC must also issue a statement of regret for their slander of the incoming president, which occurred during the election cycle.

As Breitbart News’s Wendell Husebo previously reported, in March, Trump filed a defamation lawsuit against ABC News and Stephanopoulos. Trump claimed that his “reputation was besmirched” by Stephanopoulos claiming during an interview with Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) that two juries had found Trump “liable for rape” in the case against E. Jean Carroll.

Settling the suit allowed Stephanopoulos to avoid a 4 hour deposition along with releasing lots and lots of emails, which would expose just how bad ABC News is. That they are no longer a news outlet, but, an activist outlet and an arm of the Democratic Party, that they are not there to protect the People from government, per the entire reason for their inclusion in the 1st Amendment. Free Speech would have covered it.

CNN had to end their article with a bit of whining

Trump has a history of filing lawsuits against the news media. In late October, he filed a lawsuit against CBS, demanding $10 billion in damages over the network’s “60 Minutes” interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. His legal counsel claimed the interview with Harris and the associated programming were “partisan and unlawful acts of election and voter interference” intended to “mislead the public and attempt to tip the scales” of the presidential election in her favor.

If the media is going to lie, to go off the reservation, to think they are immune from being held accountable, think again.

Leftlist NJ.com Wonders If The Feds Are Gaslighting On Drones

It’s pretty wild when uber-Democrat NJ.com trots this out

N.J. drone sightings rejected by the feds. Are they gaslighting us?

Andy Kim peered up at the night sky, searching for the elusive answers even a United States senator can’t seem to find.

Were the flashing lights he spotted Thursday night from Round Valley Reservoir in Lebanon an airplane? A hobbyist flying a drone? Or something far more mysterious — maybe even nefarious — sent here, to his beloved home state, by a foreign adversary?

On Friday morning, Kim earnestly joined the increasingly outraged and sometimes hysterical New Jersey masses in sharing his own conclusion on social media. He believed he witnessed a drone, he announced on X, complete with accompanying videos.

“I believe that all of the signs shown in the videos point toward those being manned airplanes,” said Adam Kyle, a drone expert and pilot with a degree in unmanned aircraft systems from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.

Are some planes? Sure. But, we’ve all see the videos. Planes do not hover. Helicopters do not fly in those numbers. Helicopters are not going to be hovering over military bases and such.

This week, the federal government has managed to do the seemingly impossible: bring together Jersey Republicans and Democrats in agreement.

State Assemblyman Brian Bergen, R-Morris, says he witnessed a drone Thursday night from his back porch in Denville. The government’s response to what New Jerseyans can see with their own eyes is insulting and “absolutely absurd,” he said.

The lack of information provided by federal officials was “appalling,” added Republican Assemblywoman Dawn Fantasia.

Assemblywoman Annette Quijano, D-Union, called the federal government’s “lack of answers” “simply unacceptable.”

“We need answers, we need accountability, and most importantly, we need solutions,” Quijano said in a statement.

And U.S. Rep. Josh Gottheimer, D-5th Dist., called for federal agencies to provide direct answers.

They know they are being provided with bullshit answers, that the Biden-Harris admin is gaslighting them.

The federal agencies reiterated there was no evidence the alleged drone sightings pose a national security or public safety threat. They also said there’s been no evidence that the aircraft were of foreign origin, and there were no reported or confirmed drone sightings in any restricted air space.

But, they offered no explanation as to who owns the drones. And, there are drones. Lots of them. How do they know there are no threats, since they will not identify them and refuse to engage them, even over sensitive properties. And, heck, when they are flying over people’s homes that is concerning. And, quite frankly, isn’t it against FAA regulations? If the drone weighs more that .55 pounds it must be registered. Same if it is for commercial use. You aren’t allowed to fly them and take phots/video over other people’s property. And, by FAA regulations, you cannot even fly over people or homes without their permission. You cannot fly within controlled airspace (like, say, a military base.) Cannot fly over 400 feet.

Whose are they? Who is running them? Does the Biden-Harris admin realize that the Trump admin is a little over a month from starting and they will get to the bottom of this?
