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.

The Unvaccinated Are Looking Smarter Every Week, By Thomas T. Siler, M.D., October 16, 2021.

Head East, oh captain my captain:

“After my return to Great Falls I began to realize an important fact: while we were a pipeline to Russia, Russia was also a pipeline to us.
One really disturbing fact that brought this home to me was that the entry of Soviet personnel into the United States was completely uncontrolled. Planes were arriving regularly from Moscow with unidentified Russians aboard. I would see them jump off planes, hop over fences and and run for taxicabs. They seemed to know in advance exactly where they were headed, and how to get there. It was an ideal setup for planting spies in this country,, with false identities, for use during and after the war.”

*Footnote: “Major General Follette Bradley, USAF (Ret.), winner of the Distinguished Service medal for his pioneering of the Alsib Pipeline, wrote to the New York Times on Aug. 31, 1951: “Of my own personal knowledge I know that beginning early in 1942 Russian civilian and military agents were in our county in huge numbers.”—George Racey Jordan, ‘From Major Jordan’s Diary,’ p. 33

Still one might suspect McConnell blames Trump for that and may not be disappointed that he's gone.

He did indeed blame Trump and his supporters for the loss of the Senate -- which led to the unfortunate behavior to which I referred. He disregarded his usual wily ways and foolishly decided that it was the perfect moment to purge the party of Trump, and set out to do so.

Like many in the "Washington bubble," he completely underestimated the level of Trump's support. He figured getting rid of Trump would be like blowing over a house of cards.

I remember around the same time, the usually sensible Brit Hume stated on one of the Fox News opinion shows that after Jan. 6th, the only support for Trump came from his few remaining hardcore followers. That's the sort of thing one comes to believe when residing in an insular and non-representative community like D.C.

China GDP disappoints, third-quarter growth slows to 4.9%

Gross domestic product grew 4.9% in the third quarter from a year ago, the National Bureau of Statistics said Monday. That missed expectations for a 5.2% expansion, according to analysts polled by Reuters.
Industrial production rose by 3.1% in September, below the 4.5% expected by Reuters.
“Since entering the third quarter, domestic and overseas risks and challenges have increased,” Fu Linghui, spokesperson for the National Bureau of Statistics, said at a press conference Monday in Mandarin, according to a CNBC translation.

This is where the 'NeverTrumpers' are at now:

"Jonah Goldberg and David French call for a “Reaganite” third party."

First, review the math:

74+ million voted for Trump– a tally that grew from the previous cycle. 80+ million voted for Biden. So 154 million voters [one of whom was French himself] cast their ballots opposing an ideology being proposed as a basis for a “third party.”

Which should lead anyone to conclude that these two losers are trying to peddle a pooch-poop sandwich on stale bread and will try anything to remain relevant.

But the tail no longer wags the dog. Thank God.

French and Goldberg may soon have to go out and actually make a living. The nation does need truckdrivers and longshoremen and waiters and burger flippers... etc.

Dead ideologue peddlers, not so much.

An interesting thing about Twitter. If Biden or a member of his cabinet get a bunch of critical replies, the critical replies get sorted to the bottom of the list and the replies supporting the commie end up at the top.

I happened to notice this today reading a tweet by a guy who was being critical of Buttigieg's appearance on CNN. There were all of these fawning replies at the top, and then after about 20 replies, criticisms and insults appeared and continued for a long time, all agreeing with the guy. It seems that Twitter has some sort of alert system to push critics of Biden and his minions down the page.

As an outsider businessman and entertainer who turned to politics as a later forum, Reagan had more than a bit of the populist in him and, like a true conservative, adjusted his politics to the times in order to effect the maximum liberty and the most politically feasible limitations on government.

SBW "OL: The lesson is you have to be good at both.

Too glib, OL, for not describing the depth of mendacity of the Deep State that Trump was up against."

If somebody was glib, it was you, SBW. The mendacity of the Deep State, known to every poster at JOM for the last fifteen years to one degree or another, certainly from the era of the rise and fall of the Tea Party, should not have come as a surprise to the commander of a force attempting to change that, nor to the top dozen or so of his hand picked team of leaders assembled to do that. One man with enough strength of character can run a real estate empire bearing his name, but nobody can change the direction of the Deep State without a team of true believers helping him. It took 56 such "top men" to launch the Republic in the first place. Can you name, say, five leaders of stature who Trump could count on in 2016? 2020? 2021?

What I find interesting is that every death of a "non-compromised" unvaccinated individual is reported as front page news.

"Mom & Dad tell children goodbye and regret not getting vaccinated" seems to be the general tenor of the stories.

And the media have yet to do a comprehensive deep dive into the statistics after 19 frigging months. Don't you find that odd?

After 19 months they should have dialed it in and yet up until Saturday Fauci the Grinch was warning against spending time together at Christmas. I guess that didn't poll well. One mask? Two masks? Red mask? Blue mask?

Was in a fancy restaurant in LA on Saturday with the kids and a big show of staff mailing but everyone else in the place was unmasked. It's all a farce.

We still don't know what we don't know and the farce continues. China has completely and very successfully stonewalled any and all efforts to get to the root cause of the epidemic, for which they should be banned from polite company.

We seem to have become a complete two tier society where the elites do their thing and ever more forcefully attempt to subjugate the proles to tyranny.

Never before have the worms come out of the woodwork as they have done over the past 20 years.

When the establishment aligns itself against mom and Uncle Bob in the Tea Party and begins inquisitions of Tea Tary organizations all bets are off. They then compounded it with the greatest propaganda campaign ever in this country beginning the day Trump announced his candidacy.

They were terrified that a lot mouthed real estate developer who could get things done was taking on the old boy/old girl network. As long as he was contributing to their campaigns things were fine but the moment he actually enunciated a pro-America policy that might endanger their gravy trains the long knives were out.

The layer of Marxist coercion was always there but wasn't noticeable by most of us until they all came out of the closet in 2015-16. Even then, is was more the Bill & Hillary cabal of corruption that we were fearful of.
