Old King Coal

Sen. Joe Manchin puts the kibosh on Biden's clean energy plan:

Key to Biden’s Climate Agenda Likely to Be Cut Because of Manchin Opposition

The West Virginia Democrat told the White House he is firmly against a clean electricity program that is the muscle behind the president’s plan to battle climate change.

The WaPo flagged this a few days back. Manchin's objection seems a bit vague:

Manchin had a frank conversation with White House aides late last week where he said he couldn't support the CEPP in its current form, according to two of the people close to the negotiations, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the private discussions.

The centrist coal-state senator "doesn't see a formulation that could get past his concerns with regard to rewarding utilities for behavior they're already taking," one person said, "and he pretty much conveyed that."

Its not clear where Biden and his crack leadership team are headed with this. But the Times piece concludes with some LOL wish-casting:

It is also possible that Democrats may try to push through the clean electricity program as a stand-alone bill — but the timeline for doing so is narrowing, with the 2022 midterm elections approaching.

Sure. There ought to be plenty of eager Republican votes for this in the Senate.

George Takei calls William Shatner an ‘unfit’ guinea pig after spaceflight, By Nicki Gostin,
October 14, 2021 | 12:00pm

George Takei’s decades-long feud with William Shatner is rocketing into space.

The “Star Trek” actor threw enough shade at his former on-screen captain to cause an eclipse, as he dismissed Shatner’s flight this week on Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin capsule and described him as “not the fittest specimen.”

“He’s boldly going where other people have gone before,” snarked Takei, 84, when Page Six asked him what he thought of Captain Kirk’s brief trip Wednesday to the edge of space.

“He’s a guinea pig, 90 years old and it’s important to find out what happens,” Takei added, as he spoke at the opening of “Thoughts of a Colored Man” on Wednesday night.

“So 90 years old is going to show a great deal more on the wear and tear on the human body, so he’ll be a good specimen to study. Although he’s not the fittest specimen of 90 years old, so he’ll be a specimen that’s unfit!”

‘Democrats in the Illinois General Assembly released a proposal earlier in the day with the proposed lines of the state’s congressional map for the next decade. Their party controls both of the state’s legislative chambers, along with the governor’s mansion and 13 House seats. Republicans hold five. The state is set to lose a seat when the next Congress convenes in 2023, and the new map makes it likely for Republicans to hold just three of those.’ -source, merdiaite.com

There is nothing particularly clean about it, especially if one isn't so stupid as to consider the essential molecule CO2 a pollutant.
And since there is no economical way to store "clean" electricity and the uneconomical way currently consists of creating billions of tons of toxic batteries the only muscle behind it is the small, flaccid one behind Biden's vacant, beady eyes.

Prediction: Trump/Haley 2024 for the win.

Place your bets. Her speech at the Reagan Institute aired on CSPAN today was just stellar-- perfectly upgraded for these times. She’s right for this era: right age, right gender, right racial mix, right-minded and rightly experienced and seasoned with charm and appeal-- quite the opposite of the pants-suited cackling couple with names more appropriate for hurricanes [Kamala & Hillary.] Nikki's a perfect fit for the 21st century to follow along, post-Trump-- after his successful second-win-to-come over the current set of swamp creatures.

[henry]

I don’t trust Haley. To be fair, I don’t trust anyone else either. But Haley seems to me a groveling front row student mouthing whatever the prof hints at. Sadly most politicians have this trait. I trust a back row scamp like Trump far more. He’s gonna do whatever, he doesn’t give a s*** what you think about it. But the front row snivelers… they want to be liked and praised by profs / media over doing the right thing in the face of a tsunami of bullshit. Trump, yes. Haley, no. I hope Trump finds another that doesn’t give a f*** what the media thinks. Haley ain’t it. Pence ain’t it. Cruz ain’t it. Grenell could be it.

Nikki Haley strikes me as the typical Republican heartbreaker.
She talks like a junkyard dog right up to the point push comes to shove and then she folds up like a worn out pup tent.

As VP, she'd audition w/The Donald as his Number Two for any future beyond that-- and she's done well on social and international issues as is.

The camera is kind to her, too- and she speaks in complete sentences w/o cackling. She's a woman who projects confidence and is not afraid to wear a dress as opposed to the pants suited Kamala and Hillary who don't- hence the 'man look.'

Nobody's 100% but for my money she fits well with the flavor, flow and trends of the country today in terms of age, gender, experience and-- and positivity. She'd be a more competent VP than Harris for sure.

William Shatner Says Duke of Cambridge Has ‘Got the Wrong Idea’ About his Space Flight

"...While appearing on “Newscast” prior to the first Earthshot Prize being given out, which recognizes those who are making a positive impact on environmental issues, the Duke of Cambridge noted that “we need some of the world’s greatest brains and minds fixed on trying to repair this planet, not trying to find the next place to go and live...”

"...“He’s a lovely, gentle, educated Englishman, but he’s got the wrong idea,” Shatner told Entertainment Tonight.

The star explained what he meant by noting that the “idea here is not to go, ‘Yeah, look at me. I’m in space.'” Instead, he said that “the prince is missing the point. The point is these are the baby steps to show people [that] it’s very practical. You can send somebody like me up into space...”

We Got Here Because of Cowardice. We Get Out With Courage
Say no to the Woke Revolution

"A lot of people want to convince you that you need a Ph.D. or a law degree or dozens of hours of free time to read dense texts about critical theory to understand the woke movement and its worldview. You do not. You simply need to believe your own eyes and ears.

Let me offer the briefest overview of the core beliefs of the Woke Revolution, which are abundantly clear to anyone willing to look past the hashtags and the jargon.

It begins by stipulating that the forces of justice and progress are in a war against backwardness and tyranny. And in a war, the normal rules of the game must be suspended. Indeed, this ideology would argue that those rules are not just obstacles to justice, but tools of oppression. They are the master’s tools. And the master’s tools cannot dismantle the master’s house.

So the tools themselves are not just replaced but repudiated. And in so doing, persuasion—the purpose of argument—is replaced with public shaming. Moral complexity is replaced with moral certainty. Facts are replaced with feelings."

The supply chain crisis and US ports: ‘Disruption on top of disruption’
Biden administration announced measures to ease bottlenecks and shortages but problems are deep-seated

A good overview.

They are not going to fix this anytime soon. It's not just that the CARB diesel pollution standards limit the number of trucks that can service the POLA and POLB ports. It's that the truckers are there to pick up specific containers and they have to wait up to 12 hours to do so.

Even if the CARB rules were lifted for s short while to allow more trucks to service the ports they aren't efficiently using the already available trucks.

Even if they could come up with a faster means of clearing the ports it doesn't mean the containers would actually get to where they are supposed to go any sooner.

They'd just be stuck somewhere else.

The entire focus of Biden, was to push BIDEN to the side, and rule from the HANDLERS. Again, this is obvious to me. Every single fucking thing that Biden touches or drools about, including the shit he had on his chin, indicates his lack of control, his lack of knowledge, and his lack of intellect. WHEN HAS JOE BIDEN EVERY BEEN CONSIDERED a smart, decent, honest, capable or honorable man???? Has anyone here ever worked for a company that didn't have CRISIS MANAGEMENT SKILLS??? A CRISIS, generally is do to lack of planning, and lack of skills to put out a fire, and save the day. GOVERNMENT is not conducive to that. All of it, is in RESPONSE to lack of skilled managers with any sense of the JOB they were given. PETER BUTTIGIEG??????????? For fux sake, the dude is a NOTHING.

I'm with you on this, Clarice. I wonder if school boards were another target of Soros? I sure seems like they have become radicalized if Loudon is any indicator.

So far, with Frederick, we have been lucky: No public school but either private or parochial. Both Canterbury and Atlantic College demand self-discipline from their students. To me that is imperative these days.

[henry]

School,boards, school board associations, state and federal departments of education are all part of the problem. The left first too over the school accreditation process - that is a whole other mess hiding in the weeds here.

[Tom Bowler]

Thanks for those Pieces, Clarice, and for your optimism about the adverse impact events will have on Democrats' midterm chances. I think you're right about that but I wonder if the impact will be adverse enough.

I recall Hillary's so-what-are-ya-gonna-do-about-it attitude as she sat before Congress and lied, hour after hour, about Benghazi. And how Comey threw the FBI under the bus by "exonerating" her. I concluded that the Democrats believed they had arrived, that Republicans had won their last election, that they themselves were politically invincible. Things haven't gotten better since then.

We await that preference cascade that gets talked about here at JOM from time to time. "Surely, now Uniparty abuse has been revealed and everybody will see it," we think to ourselves. But we can't really tell. Just when we thought it was happening, the cabal fixed a presidential election, and here we are, stuck with them again.

Now, as parents are called "domestic terrorists" will people see it this time? And if they do, will it matter? Glenn Reynolds used to say that Republicans had to win big because if the elections are close, Democrats will steal them. As we've witnessed in 2020, elections don't have to be close anymore, especially when big tech gets involved.

But as you say, there is reason for optimism. All signs point to a red wave in 2022. It depends on how well Republicans at the state level can defend our elections. And those Republicans have been busy.

This is from a couple days ago, but I get a kick out of Joe Biden as The Hollowed Out Shell of a Once Mediocre Man.

Both those guys will and have drawn the spotlight. Trump won't go with them. And he's not going to have trouble too much trouble winning Florida or Kansas either.

On the other hand, Trump will be 78 in 2024, and will probably (and should) have someone who will continue the fight should he be unable to finish out his term. That's a mark against someone like Haley.

And if Trump is going to run, I hope he makes clear that he understands the mistakes he made in his first term and learned from them, especially his letting scum like Fauci handle covid.

Tom Bowler,

I had missed that great article. Thanks!

jimmyk,

Things I didn't know, even though I am a confirmed political junky:

1. How politicized the FDA, CDC, NIH, FBI, CIA, DOJ, Defense, Treasury, Education, etc. are.

2. The people who should have advised him on appointments were traitors.

3. How much the CCP had their tentacles into everything including the media and Silicon Valley.

I know Navarro and Bannon are aware of this. Navarro routinely calls Pence a traitor and Bannon wants GOP Senate primary candidates to pledge to vote for someone else to replace McConnell in leadership.

I really think that DC should be pensioned off and new workers should be drawn out of a hat at Trump rallies.

'woke' is the wrong world, it suggests they have a clue, in fact they are eloi, ready to be consumed by the morlocks, who they think are us,

Narciso,

Were you a reader of Classics Illustrated comic books? I was, which is why i recognize your references to the eloi and morlocks. H.G. Wells was prescient.
