Global Communist Climate Conference Agrees to Shakedowns Reparations to Save World from Global Warming

The climate hoax is utterly exasperating, and we have now reached the point of the scam where our global ruling class is ready to openly do what it does best, confiscate my money and give it directly to someone else. Being “the house” in this confidence game, the global elite will skim off a sizeable vigorish for the purpose of administering the scam. All the while, of course, they are patting themselves on the back for their save-the-world humanitarianism.

Global climate conference closes with climate damage compensation deal

The COP27 global climate change conference in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, wrapped early Sunday with an agreement to compensate developing countries for the damages they have suffered from climate change.

And here’s a shocker – a new “multinational committee” will be administering this communist redistribution plan.

To address that, a transitional committee that will be made up of 24 countries tasked with finding funding sources and establishing a structure and governance for the fund will be established.

The new Republican House majority has the power of the purse. Any US funding for this can only happen if the House Republican leadership allows it. This would be a fine time to show a little backbone.

There is actually some news in this regards that gives us a small bit of hope.

House Republicans Plan to Ax Democrats’ Climate Crisis Committee [Bloomberg – 11/17/2022]

Republicans plan to kill a special committee focused on climate change when they take control of the House next year, the top GOP member of the panel said Thursday.

“The Climate Crisis Committee will not exist,” Louisiana Representative Garret Graves, the top GOP member of the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis, said in an interview. “I don’t think that’s really consistent with what we are going to be focused on.”

Target Bought the Whole Woke Package, Now It’s Reaping the Rewards

In 2016 Target triumphantly announced that men are welcome in its women’s restrooms.

Just a few months ago, with sexual lobotomies of minors all the rage, Target started selling “chest binders” and “packing underwear” to minors.

And of course, during the height of the BLM riots, Target announced that it was donating $10,000,000 to minority organization “to re-envision public safety" and "change divisive policing policies.”

Target bought the whole woke package, and now its reaping the rewards. Its stock plunged 15% on this piece of news last week:

Target blames ‘organized retail crime’ for $400M loss in profits this year [NY Post – 11/16/2022]

Target said it has lost a whopping $400 million in profits this year thanks to organized gangs of shoplifters who have been systematically stealing merchandise from its discount stores.

It must be awful for Target employees who try to work amidst an ongoing crime scene, but as for the impact on Target Corporation, this is sweet karma.

Decriminalization of crime is part of the woke agenda. Even if Target hadn’t been contributing to pro-crime and anti-police organizations, they would still deserve this because of all the woke crud they’re trying to inflict on everyone else.

So long as Target’s woke executives think it’s swell to have men walk in on girls who are using the bathroom, and so long as Target is pushing transgenderism on the children of its customers, those executives deserve to see the street crime division of Woke, Inc. ravage Target’s income statement.

More Political Theater from Greg Abbott

Do you recall how conservative media got all excited last week when Texas Governor Greg Abbott "invoked the Invasion Clauses of the U.S. & Texas Constitutions to fully authorize Texas to take unprecedented measures to defend our state against an invasion."

Gov Abbot - Twitter - Declaration of Invasion.JPG


It was nothing but political theater. Maybe Abbott couldn’t stand being left out of the horserace discussions that are going on about who will be the GOP’s 2024 presidential candidate.

In testimony before the Texas legislature’s Senate Border Committee, the Governor’s budget director assured the legislators that Abbott was just posturing, and is not in fact going to take any action.

Abbott's budget director, Sarah Hicks, was asked Tuesday about the tweet during her testimony before the state's Senate Committee on Border Security and she reassured the panel of Texas legislators that the governor was not announcing a new strategy, but was rather reiterating some of the actions he has already taken to stem illegal immigration.

"I don't think it is a change in overall tactic as much as it is a reminder to all of us, to Congress and to the members working the issue that this is serious and it demands a full and serious response," Hicks said.

Songs of the Season

Thanksgiving is just three days away, and many of you will be singing We Gather Together, which may be the most well-known Thanksgiving hymn.

Here is a beautiful version featuring just an acoustic guitar and a lone voice.

It’s also worth noting that the lyrics of “We Gather Together” are not some pacifistic paean to lambs and lions lying down in peace. This song gives thanks to the Lord for having the congregants’ back in their battle against evil. This song is timely, and not just because this is Thanksgiving week.

We gather together to ask the Lord’s blessing.
He chastens and hastens His will to make known.
The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing.
Sing praises to His name; He forgets not His own.

Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining,
Whose kingdom calls all to the love which endures
So, from the beginning the fight we were winning.
Dear, Lord, were at our side; all glory be yours!

We all do extol you, our Leader triumphant,
And pray that you still our defender will be.
Let your congregation escape tribulation.
Your Name be ever praised! O Lord, make us free!


Have a blessed Thanksgiving.

Russia blew up the pipelines, and you are a traitor if you don't believe that!

The fact that Russia could simply turn off the taps at the east end of the pipelines if it doesn't want gas flowing through the pipelines is irrelevant!

The fact that Secretary of State Blinken described the destruction of the pipelines as a "tremendous opportunity" is also irrelevant!

Blinken:

"And ultimately this [the destruction of the pipelines] is also a tremendous opportunity. It’s a tremendous opportunity to once and for all remove the dependence on Russian energy and thus to take away from Vladimir Putin the weaponization of energy as a means of advancing his imperial designs. That’s very significant and that offers tremendous strategic opportunity for the years to come."

It was Wednesday afternoon, in the midway Shopping District ten miles from 38th and Chicago where Floyd died. It was about 2:00 pm, and they began looting the Target Store. About a hundred people looting and setting fires in the Target store. Random destruction for kicks.

The Minneapolis PD showed up in two squad cars, and drove around the parking lot and LEFT. No arrests, they did not even try clearing the people out of the Target Store rapidly filling with smoke.

I knew right then that unless they brought in a whole lot of National Guard, the rioters and looters were going to destroy the Twin Cities.

Governor Walz did not call out the Guard. Minneapolis and Saint Paul BURNED for the next three nights until he Finally called out the NG on Saturday Morning.

It's noise and money. If there's an investigation into the Biden crime syndicate, it will be either an insulation move (it was all Hunter and the Big Guy knew nothing) or a move to get Biden out to replace him. Nobody will be punished in either case, just political objectives established and met. They're not terrified of Trump. They neutralized him before and they can do it again.

This is theater and fund-raising. Throw some raw meat at the radical base, let the other side pretend there's a functional system when the effort fails, and stuff the coffers.

Actually, it's just enough to have the store be in an affluent area.

For whatever reason, it's harder for shoplifting gangs to operate in affluent areas, even if there is no enforcement of the laws against shoplifting in those areas.

In Portland, the only major stores that are closing due to shoplifting are in low-income areas.

Hold onto your hat: "Armored personnel carriers like the M113 are designed to carry infantry troops across modern battlefields alongside tanks. They can be equipped with a range of weapons: heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, antitank missiles or even large cannons similar to those mounted on tanks. It’s not clear what weapons, if any, will be on the Texas Guard’s M113s at the border."

149 I could not understand why Chip and Joanna Gaines decided to place their Magnolia products in Target right when all the tranny crap started and why they continue to use them as their retail channel. They have finally started sourcing more products made in the USA and outside of China(after taking a beating from customer feedback who said they would not buy Chinese made on their web shopping site). As soon as I could get out of the Target contract I would.

It’s not clear what weapons, if any, will be on the Texas Guard’s M113s at the border."

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ieKVECmTAEY&t=16s

One of the interesting things is that Mrs. Hangman's family converted to Nazism as a direct result of the Weimar Republic inflation which destroyed their wealth. Also, the first part includes the surprisingly rather charming love story of Mr. and Mrs. Hangman.

I used to give very generously to them. They did good work. For all I know, they still do. It doesn't matter. They have a Social Justice commission. I started giving a lot less when I learned that. Then when their asinine and offensive memo came out, I cut my support to zero.

This year, my company is doing a matching donation thing. I have gone through there list of approved organizations. There is not a single one that I will support. The causes I might care about are all woke orgs, and the orgs that might not be awful are for causes that I don't care to support.

I don't have a single worthwhile charity left at this point. Even my old standby - the local "Meals on Wheels" outfit - is all about "social justice."

Those homes in Central CA are largely being bought by the big RE conglomerates for rentals (the illegal aliens won't need jobs, considering that they shoehorn 8 families into a single family home, paid for by the mountain of State/Fed welfare money that's being thrown at them).

The rest are being purchased by tech workers from Frisco, who can't even afford to buy a closet-sized condo in the Bay Area, but they can get a really nice McMansion in Modesto. Just wait until the tech layoffs really get started and watch the Valley's RE market circle the bowl.

222 Jackson and Rao are the founders of an organization called Race2Dinner. For $5,000 the two women will attend your eight-person dinner party and bring along "Lisa Bond, our Resident White Woman." For that price, they will berate you about your racism. They will share their own experiences with racism, which sometimes don’t sound like actual racism. But if you object or even if you agree, they will tell you that’s what white women do and you’re part of the problem. The two have a lot of observations about "what white women do." White women are mean to each other, for instance. When they are accused of racism white women accuse black women of being "angry" or "crazy." White women also say they’re not racist. White women like dinner parties. And they like to say they’ve donated money to the ACLU. If you suggest that black women may be mean to each other or that they may like dinner parties, you’re also a white supremacist. Because how would you know? Don’t say you have black friends because that too would be a sign of white supremacy.

224 Not gonna argue with you about Abbott, but I've been saying over and over that DeSantis sent exactly one (1) small plane load of illegals to Martha's Vineyard. I was thrilled he did it because it laid bare the hypocrisy of the left, but it definitely was a stunt. Abbott, on the other hand, has sent hundreds of planes.

226 >>Abbot seems a bit spineless compared to DeSantis.

I do like DeSantis better but a number of Texan morons have pointed out that the governors job in Texas is actually quite weak compared to a lot of other states. I don't know the specifics, perhaps a Texan can elaborate, I just don't think he's as bad as some do.

But then I live in a blue state so my view on awful might be a bit different than others.

231 The Global Reparations plan is the least frightening of the globalists' desires. This weekend I heard about the Biden administration's plan to go ahead with investigating dispersing an atomized cloud of reflective material into the atmosphere in order to intercept sunlight and slow global warming. Knowing how close we were to vaporizing the Earth's atmosphere with nuclear weapons testing, this foray into something potentially life-ending in order to control a system scientists have NO FUCKING CLUE ABOUT HOW IT WORKS so that Greta Thunberg and Klaus Schwab will be pleased, is beyond dystopic. They're literally playing with our lives while thinking themselves smart.

232 "Decriminalization of crime is part of the woke agenda"

Only certain types of crime, and against certain groups and individuals.

It's a malign neglect aimed at some groups and targeted political violence aimed at others. This is another reason why voting harder isn't going to help; a lot of people went along to get along in the hopes that it wouldn't come to this point, but we've passed the point where the best thing for most of us would be for a bunch of the rest to end up in a ditch or tossed out of helicopters.

I have warned normies for 20+ years that the PC poison was found even in their "red state" schools, and for most of that period was mocked for it. People simply abandoned their responsibility of knowing who was raising their kids, and how, so they could binge TV and booze.

Geography is very relevant - in how the terrain enables (or not) hiding from sensors, availability of water, ease of traversal, and whether the winters/summers are hospitable to the left's bum armies.

256 So PA - after a brief respite of what appears to have been partial sanity, not to mention an economic boom unknown since the de-industrialization of the northeast - is slipping beneath the waves for good? Electing this governor, after the ridiculous abuse received from his similar predecessor, electing a vegetable as senator, and now what appears to be a very feckless state GOP losing the lower house?

Through a past life I have a fairly good appreciation of what a tribalized regionalized and dysfunctional GOP the state has long had, but as with most things in the US now, it's desperate times and there is some value in even the most pathetic people and outfits, if only as speed bumps or fodder.

But the path to 270 gets very hard indeed with PA lost, both politically and functionally (fraud).

261 ..IMO Abbott has done a very good job . He had one slip up with the grid. Posted by: polynikes at November 21, 2022 11:33 AM (QKJnV)

The continual myth that Abbott somehow fvcked the Texas Electrical Grid is bullshit, and is a fable perpetuated by the Left.

OBAMA'S EPA fvcked the TX Grid, by decree, ripping out dozens of existing coal-fired powerplants, disassembling them and shipping them over to ChyNah, so that THEY would have abundant electricity and air pollution. (then) Gov. Perry had few options other than to suck up to the Fed tit for shit like wind and solar, because $ub$idie$.

Abbott did sign laws forcing ERCOT to bolster the grid, as well as to have *only* Texans sitting on the Board. Grid enhancement proved robust against massive summer demand in record temps and number of days above 95 degrees. Abbott sux often, but the Grid ain't one of his fails.

When Tom Corbett was Governor, from 2011-2015, GOP held all three branches of government, and could have legislated our EVs be apportioned according to Congressional district. Instead, they dropped the ball.
