The Fabulous Fifth Circuit Puts the Kaibosh on Biden's Lawless Drive to Ruin Your Appliances

It's just a conspiracy theory that Biden is illegally f***ing up your appliances.

It's such a conspiracy theory the Fifth Circuit had to tell Biden to stop.

In January of [2022], the Energy Department finalized a rule to restore "efficiency standards" for consumer appliances -- residential dishwashers, dryers, and washing machines -- that had been rolled back during the Trump administration.
"The Trump rule," Bloomberg Law reported at the time, "had created new short-cycle product classes that weren't subject to any water or energy conservation standards."
Earlier this month, a federal appeals court filed a ruling that was welcome news to Americans who find it head-scratching that the federal government is aggressively dictating the standards of our cleaning appliances.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit rejected the Energy Department's effort to tighten those standards, determining the regulations were "arbitrary and capricious" and dismissing the government's claim that the 2020 rules were "invalid."

At the WEF: They talked up the tons of CO2 produced in creating a ton of coffee, and attacked the "monocuture" of coffee seeds. These are the preparatory steps the WEF takes before working through its octopus-like network of Nazi-Marxists embedded in world governments to ban something.

Of course, that's just nibbling around the edges.

What these people really want is to reduce the world supply of food, which will nicely halve the world's population of humans.

WHO head, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, declares war on meat and traditional agriculture, in the name of fighting "climate change":

"Our food systems are harming the health of people and planet. Food systems contribute to over 30% of greenhouse gas emissions, and account for… pic.twitter.com/fMCJTn7X3c

If they ration meat, I've got a solution. It's been proposed many times before, but it's time to take it seriously:

EAT

THE

RICH.

President Joe Biden is once again threatening to use violence against American citizens who refuse to obey government rule.
Over the weekend, while speaking to reporters, Biden mocked a quote from Thomas Jefferson: "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

The quote suggests that Jefferson believes the American people should have the right to rebel against a tyrannical government. Biden said that if U.S. citizens really wanted to fight the government, they would need F-16 fighter jets.
"And I love people who say, the 'blood of liberty,' or excuse me, 'the tree of liberty is watered with the blood of patriots.' Well, guess what, man, I didn't see a whole lot of patriots that are out there walking around making sure that we have these weapons," Biden said. "And if you really want to worry about the government, you need an F-16."
This is not the first time Biden has threatened Americans with violence who refuse to follow a dictatorship. In June 2023, the president berated Second Amendment supporters, saying once again that they would need F-16 fighter jets in order to take on the American government.
Again, in 2022, Biden criticized "Right-wing Americans," vowing to use drones and military jets on people who defy government rule.
"For those brave right-wing Americans who say it's all about keeping Americans 'independent and safe.' If you want to fight against a country, you need an F-15," Biden said. "You need something a little more than a gun."

51 Liberals knows how this shit works though, and how once they pass an illegal law it'll stay, even if the law is struck down.

They make these rules and then set near impossible deadlines for the companies, so even if the company thinks the rule will be overturned they still need to spend millions/ billions working on changing their products to meet the standards, incase it doesn't get thrown out.

Then even if the rule gets overturned they basically still just put out the crappy products, because they worry liberals will just reintroduce the rule after they pack the court with leftist judges.

Pretty much every leftist law ends up going in to effect anyway, because there's always the threat of a new leftist regime.

And there are countless ways to manage that, too. Veterans with Aircraft Mechanic experience will know one set of ways, while Ordnancemen will know others, and former SF "Secret Squirrel" types, yet more.

Geez, and that's just aircraft. Similar thinking can lock up an entire National Guard Armory, too.

Despite the donor class spending more than $167 million in Iowa and New Hampshire against Trump, pro-Haley backers failed to bring their candidate within single digits of Trump’s massive victory. While pro-Trump spending only amounted to 34.1 million in Iowa and New Hampshire, pro-Haley money wasted $31 million in New Hampshire alone to finish second.

For example - start investigating every company with the DIE initiative for violating federal laws on racial discrimination, or at the state level require all new construction to have a natural gas hook up, etc.

When WY considered banning EVs it was a sign some conservatives are starting to look at how to play the game but...they chickened out.

Yup, and it's almost invariably a luxury good or something exotic that used to be restricted to the rich or available only in limited quantities, but that became available to all.

Coffee, automobiles, air travel, labor-saving appliances, detached homes with plots of land, etc.

All of this shit is just a backdoor, contemporary take on sumptuary laws (but only the parts prohibiting commoners from being too much like aristocrats - the aristocrats, of course, are to face no restrictions on how extravagant they are).

101 I have a vintage 1950's Tappan deluxe gas range. Hubbymayhem and I got it free from the house my dads uncle lived in. We housed it in the shed and spent months cleaning it. Uncle Palp gave me some great advice on that! Decades of meat grease and Crisco splatter on every single part. It now sits in my kitchen. It looks cool and it works better than any range I have ever had. The oven turns out gorgeous pies! We have considered finding another one to use for parts but nowhere to store it. The only problem with it is the clock. It doesn't work very often and when it does, it makes a very annoying noise. It's also heavy enough to hold the house down in a tornado!

The federal government will only get this stove if they stomp over my lifeless corpse. I hope they get hernia and permanent disabling back problems for the trouble.

Despite the donor class spending more than $167 million in Iowa and New Hampshire against Trump, pro-Haley backers failed to bring their candidate within single digits of Trump’s massive victory. While pro-Trump spending only amounted to 34.1 million in Iowa and New Hampshire, pro-Haley money wasted $31 million in New Hampshire alone to finish second.

Pretty much most jets are susceptible to a rocks dropped into the jet engine. Pipelines for fuel to airbases are subject to blowing up real good, and so on. You have the military itself composed of a large quantity of reserves that live in red areas and would frown on their families being killed, etc. Any type of civil war in the US will probably not be like the 1861-65 conflict but between urban areas and rural areas with the battlegrounds being suburbs which means no safe areas for workers, logistics, etc and due to population and distance, no foreign army capable to come in and stopping it. They would simply be casualties themselves.

Then you have the issue of nukes scattered throughout the US, items that can be easily converted to chemical warfare, and the destruction of sewage and safe water delivery systems that would kill a lot of the urban population. The best option is not to play the game.

159 Pretty much most jets are susceptible to a rocks dropped into the jet engine. Pipelines for fuel to airbases are subject to blowing up real good, and so on. You have the military itself composed of a large quantity of reserves that live in red areas and would frown on their families being killed, etc. Any type of civil war in the US will probably not be like the 1861-65 conflict but between urban areas and rural areas with the battlegrounds being suburbs which means no safe areas for workers, logistics, etc and due to population and distance, no foreign army capable to come in and stopping it. They would simply be casualties themselves.

Then you have the issue of nukes scattered throughout the US, items that can be easily converted to chemical warfare, and the destruction of sewage and safe water delivery systems that would kill a lot of the urban population. The best option is not to play the game.

I was once at a lecture given by a "futurist" farmer with an organic/smart bent. His emphasis was on product quality (a solved problem, in his eyes) and on yield (nearly solved). Fair enough. Given that his position is that we could make the switch en masse to his methods right now and be fine, I asked him a question.

I asked, "what are your yields in terms of useful calories per acre as compared to current mainstream farming methods?"

He did not answer. He danced around it, but provided no answer. That was answer enough for me. I don't doubt that his product is of higher quality. I do doubt he can feed the world with it.

If I remember correctly, Jeb spent $250 million, not $100, but my memory may be off.

Still, this is three presidential cycles in a row where the donor class has thrown money at the problem of the base, and the base is not following along.

I fear that it will be centralized over Trump, though. That in 2028, Trump won't be running and we're going to get 16 GOPe candidates vying for the presidential nomination and we'll be at each other's throats regarding which tax plan is better.

I suspect because you can't really reproduce them. I know a guy with a 100 or so year old ice cream truck that he is letting slowly rot away because it's illegal to paint the side using the authentic lacquer or enamel techniques used when it was created. Heck, you can pick out 2006-2010 or so American cars because the feds required a change in how paint was created or applied and it wouldn't stick to the metal. Next time you see an old GMC van or work truck with white paint peeling from weird places, ask what year it is.

232 When it comes to the government bombing its fellow citizens, I doubt lefties will offer righties the same amount of empathy and caring they showed the terrorists in the Middle East.

No, my friends, there will be no calls for a ceasefire when that first F-16 drops a bomb on some deep red county.

Yes and to disable vehicles, and to damage communications and so on.

The strategy used in Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, and Afghanistan only works if you are at the long tail of logistics with an unhampered safe area to make all that stuff. In an internal civil war in the US, there won't be that unhampered safe area and with people having extended families across the US, this idea that you can just bomb rural areas into submission is rather stupid because a lot of people in the service will have family there and take revenge. We would probably see something more like the Russian Revolution from 1917 to 1922 or so or the Chinese Revolution which lasted even longer but with nukes and other modern tech.

He did not answer. He danced around it, but provided no answer. That was answer enough for me. I don't doubt that his product is of higher quality. I do doubt he can feed the world with it.

I think of this every time I hear someone touting the benefits of EVs. Please tell me, and show me the source for the numbers, the entire supply chain cost of the energy required to move a kg a km, or a lb a mile, or whatever units you choose to use. The supply chain must include things like mining the minerals for batteries, drilling for oil, transferring whatever you use to where it is made into something useful, remediation, and disposal.

314 By all accounts an F-16 would make easy prey of the F-35 and every other "improved replacement" that the government currently has.

Uh...that's nonsense. An F35 or F22 would smoke an F16 in a BVR fight, which is what most modern air battles will be determined by.

Yes, but if the respective pilots had to shoot at each other with pistols in a dogfight, the F-16 would win. Duh.

Next time you call the government, telling them you're being invaded by foreigners, see how many F16s they send.

Now, if you're Saudi Arabia, or Ukraine, or even Israel, and you call the government, saying you're being invaded, see what gets sent.

I recently saw an AF pilot say the opposite. (He seemed well spoken.)

He said the thrust to weight ratio would allow F-16s to win a dog fight.

However, it would never get to that since two F-35s would splash eight F-16s before they reached dog fight range.

He did not mention the advantages of thrust vectoring.

(I do not have enough knowledge to judge the correct answer, but would like to hear the discussion.)

400 > He did not mention the advantages of thrust vectoring.

(I do not have enough knowledge to judge the correct answer, but would like to hear the discussion.)
Posted by: Pillage Idiot
____________

Thrust vectoring allows the aircraft's engine nozzle(s) to point in another direction other than the direction of flight. Up or down, mostly. It allows maneuvers that are not achievable or very difficult to achieve in an aircraft without it. Like standing on tail with just enough thrust to maintain altitude... like a helicopter.

This is not the same thing as the F-35B model's V/TOL mode.

410 Bit of a reminder, all planes including the F22 F35 or F16/18 B52's or whatever are vulnerable on the ground and US bases are pretty much not designed for Civil War type activities nor is their supply for fuel, etc.

Too many people get hungup on peer to peer particular components or technology--it is not the weapons systems to fear--it is individuals operating weapons.

Under the right circumstances, a general or head civilian can be taken out by a paperclip (use your imagination) and similar events have been throughout history.

That reminds me, and it's worth a main page post.

The military hasn't met their goals after they announced they no longer wanted white men. Down 10K or so in a lousy economy. Ponder that for a moment.

But what's interesting is that death numbers were mentioned.

"Whites, who constitute 67% of the active-duty and reserve forces, accounted for 71% of the fatalities. African Americans are 17% of the overall force and were 9% of the fatalities. Hispanics are 9% of the force and were 10% of the fatalities.

Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders are 3% of the force and were 3% of the fatalities."

469 Shay's Rebellion was put down by the countries nascent military force. The "rebellion" largely consisted of Revolutionary War veterans who arguably were being screwed over by the new aristocracy and government. It was controversial even among some of the veterans including some leading Revolutionary War figures (Adams for one). But I think Jefferson addressed it best on 13 November 1787 and believed the people had the right to rebel against an authoritarian government that wasn't much different than the one we defeated. But he also seemed to suggest the rebellion wasn't based on facts and those involved should be set straight on facts pacified and pardoned. That wasn't the road for some who were persecuted and put to trial. But the eventual outcome was that Governor John Hancock did pardon all involved. But then, he understood exactly what Jefferson wrote and was interested in the good of the country. I dare say that's not the motivation of today's Democrats. They have made the people who disagree with them the enemy. Nothing good will come from that.

476 For example - start investigating every company with the DIE initiative for violating federal laws on racial discrimination, or at the state level require all new construction to have a natural gas hook up, etc.

This is happening at the state level on DEI - and they are going after the big corporations. Another very quiet reason they are pulling all their cheerleading about diversity. They know there is a search for the case to run to the SCOTUS and wipe out affirmative action - and of course get chosen to pay a very hefty penalty.
