THE MORNING RANT: Celebrating My Five-year Anniversary as a Contributor/Co-Blogger at this Great Blog, plus Other Topics

Happy Thanksgiving week! This week marks the five-year anniversary of me being a contributor to the amazing online community that is the Ace of Spades HQ.

Since then, and as a result, I have had several more writing opportunities open up to me, including at The Blaze, for whom I am currently a contributing writer. I have also developed some great relationships with people involved in politics and policy, and I have established friendships with quite a few of Ace’s readers. There are not words that can express how much I appreciate the support and mentorship I have received from the co-bloggers. And of course, I am profoundly grateful to Ace for allowing me a forum on the very best political blog around. I’m also very grateful for all of the feedback, tips, and suggestions I receive from readers of the blog. Above all else, my loving wife has embraced and supported my time-consuming writing venture. I am dearly blessed to have her as my partner in life.

As much as I enjoy being published at other sites, I don’t plan on uprooting from this wonderful site any time soon - so long as you will have me. Among my many blessings, the Ace of Spades community is a significant one.

Thank you again.

*****

A primary focus of my writing has been the climate hoax and all its various tentacles, including the green energy scam, net zero / decarbonization, ESG, government subsidization of green businesses, etc. (I might have also done a piece or two about electric vehicles, and periodically mentioned my affinity for music that includes an upright bass.)

Ultimately, the climate scam overlaps pretty much all of the left’s agenda, from the radical gender crusade to corporate woke capital.

In fact, at the current UN Climate Conference, they are focusing on “gender responsive climate action.”

St. Greta of The Sustainable Organic Church of the Carbon Apocalypse is now wearing a keffiyeh in support of the Palestinians who attacked Israel and committed mass murder against Jews.

The absolute nonsense of it all becomes clearer when you realize that if you oppose the transgender agenda, then you are a climate denier. If you support Israel’s right to self-defense, then you are a climate denier.

As I watch the climate cult become more deeply entwined with the most radical activists on the left, I have never been more proud to be a “climate denier.”

*****

Somewhat related, Matt Gaetz’s nomination to be Attorney General and his subsequent withdrawal has been the topic of much discussion among conservatives.

While I appreciate how Gaetz has generally battled for the MAGA agenda, and especially for dethroning House Speaker Kevin McCarthy for betraying the conservatives who helped McCarthy obtain that position, I still don’t trust Gaetz.

Matt Gaetz is an outspoken believer in the climate hoax, stating as recently as 2020 that “Climate Change is real. Climate change is urgent.”

I don’t trust any climate cultist to be heading the Justice Department, where “climate deniers” like me might need to fear being the target of “climate justice” because “climate change is urgent.”

*****

My latest piece at The Blaze takes a look at the reasons Big Oil is opposed to Donald Trump withdrawing the U.S. from the anti-petroleum Paris Climate Agreement. This piece is behind a paywall, but if you have a Blaze subscription, I’d be honored if you’d give it a read.

My latest piece at The Blaze discusses how Exxon & Big Oil are *opposed* to Trump’s intention to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agmt, because Big Oil intends to prosper from govt anti-carbon subsidies. https://t.co/S2Nw1sAOVA

*****

Finally, as we gather this week to give thanks for the blessings our Creator has bestowed upon us in this favored land, here is a traditional Thanksgiving hymn to hum while you prepare for the feast. (And, yes there is an upright bass in the orchestra!)

WE GATHER TOGETHER
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,
ordaining, maintaining His kingdom divine;
So from the beginning the fight we were winning:
Thou Lord was at our side - the glory be Thine!
We all do extol Thee, Thou leader in battle,
and pray that Thou still our defender wilt be.
Let Thy congregation escape tribulation;
Thy name be ever praised! O Lord, make us free!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Amazing how few seem to understand how the interests of the mega-corps like Exxon are completely opposed to the rest of their industry, and to people in general. Because they seek to dominate and control, and heavy handed government action is the perfect cover for them.

You left out the malignant influence of Big Chalk, aka the Teacher's Unions, who are among the most diligent in pushing the climate hoax. There's a wonderful graph in the link showing the impact of the constantly increasing education budgets on actual performance. Any private company, including Bud Light and Jag-U-R would have burned these people at the stake by now for their utter lack of competence and performance, and yet all we'll hear for the next four years is more, MORE, MORE!!!

There is a legitimate gripe here. Big oil was pressured into stupid regulations and then bribed with carbon capture garbage to make up for the losses elsewhere. Now that they have spent millions, the winds have changed. If the government weren't so large and in everybody's business, none of that wasteful spending would have occurred.

67 Newsom Challenges Trump on Electric Vehicle Tax Credits

Lisa FriedmanSoumya KarlamanglaShawn Hubler
By Lisa FriedmanSoumya Karlamangla and Shawn Hubler
Nov. 25, 2024, 9:00 a.m. ET
California will step in and provide rebates to eligible residents who buy electric vehicles if President-elect Donald J. Trump ends the $7,500 federal E.V. tax credit, Gov. Gavin Newsom said on Monday.

“We will intervene if the Trump administration eliminates the federal tax credit, doubling down on our commitment to clean air and green jobs in California,” Mr. Newsom, a Democrat, said in a statement. “We’re not turning back on a clean transportation future — we’re going to make it more affordable for people to drive vehicles that don’t pollute.”

They have historically been rampant in generations just preceding/just following a millenium.

Look at the people who believed Y2K not only would precipitate global computer chaos resulting in the end of civilization, but those who believed/hoped it would coincide with the Rapture?

Posted by: vmom deport deport deport at November 25, 2024 11:14 AM (GhIJO)

Everything we saw with Covid and the jabs was EXACTLY the same game plan the used for climate change.

1. Media only had one side of the story. No dissenting or questioning views.
2. Fear used as a weapon.
3. Social media banning dissenters.
4. Mocking of the disbelievers

Etc...

Trump 2.0 thus far has been more responsive to rank-and-file conservatives than any campaign in history, and with Musk and Vivek and Don Jr. involved in various ways that's unlikely to change when he's in office. And if there's one thing Trump came into politics knowing how to do, it's fire people.

Our birth rate dropped to 1.33 in 2022 according to Stats Canada. Replacement rate (where you can just hold at par for your population) is 2.1.

The government is desperate for people to make up the next bottom-layer of the pyramid in the economic and population based pyramid-scheme, so they're importing anyone and everyone they can, qualifications or skills regardless.

There are several world governments who also have hit this point and they're equally as desperate, and so you have what you see.

Yes. Shore records of the past show this has happened many, many times in the past when the Colorado River would exceed it's banks and flood waters would fill it up. Someone did a paper that found a correlation to how full the sea was and large quakes in the area. Don't remember the exact correlation

He said he loved it for around town BUT that it was terrible for road trips. He has family in California and they live about 350 miles away. Because he last drove to see them in the dead of summer and had to run the air conditioner, he had to charge it TWICE just to cover the 350 miles. How ridiculous.

Post-lockdown, I had pretty successfully held off despair by resolving to have "go f*ck yourself" as my go-to.

Now, post election, my new mantra may be "stop masturbating."

That is all so many of the elect do--the performative exhibitionism of the onanist for whom the major part of the kink is forcing people to watch.

For years now, we haven't just been forced to watch, but have been harrassed if we don't also applaud and cheer.

293 True, but she's dead in 2028 no matter what. She has ZERO chance at a national position now. Nobody will touch her with a ten-foot pole. But CA is so corrupt and scumbaggy that anything's possible -- if the party is behind you. I just don't think she's even 3rd in line now as far as the party is concerned. She's yesterday's news, and very bad news at that.

=========

She has a chance in 2028 to launder tens of millions in the primary before flaming out.

Do not get me wrong: she has no chance of winning the nomination. But, Ben Carson never had a chance of winning the nomination in 2016 and he still raised $60 million.

Carson was a popular figure even though he had no chance. Kumswala? She's the puddle of anal semen under the dirty rathole motel bed left behind after Willie was done with her. Maybe you're right that she could still somehow raise money. I just think she'll be so toxic nobody will touch her.

Let's remember that we've been told endlessly that, since 2012, the Democrat Party electorate demands minority and female candidates and that white men have no place in the party at that level.

Then, in 2016, the DNC had to cheat to get Hillary over the line against a, old, white, Jewish man (the coin flips in Nevada). Then, in 2020, the race was a horserace between two old, white, men.

The party leaders want things very different from the party voters. This will play out again in 2028.

The Dums have been screaming that Kumswala's loss was fueled by sexism in that people don't want a woman president. In some sense, they are correct. But can you blame the voters? There isn't a woman executive or leader anywhere who isn't a total nuclear catastrophe. Why would any voter -- even a woman -- want more of that? To be sure, the vast majority of men suck balls too, but there are at least a few very competent ones.

326 The globalist collectivists are becoming increasingly desperate. They haven't quite yet learned the lesson of Spanish Man's Grave:* that their Big Medicine is no good any more, and their gods have forsaken them. We need to make sure they learn it. Among other things, the line absolutely must be held on Pete Hegseth as SecDef.

Here's why: Back when Trump was (ahem) "convicted," I saw some posts on X by people I otherwise respect along these lines: "Can we talk about another candidate now, or is this a ride-or-die thing?" Answer: It absolutely was a ride-or-die thing, because the Blob has to be shown that the things that used to work for them -- including lawfare -- don't work any more.

Same goes for Hegseth. The allegations are BS. The line must be held and Hegseth must either be confirmed or recess appointed.

328 Speaking of Thanksgiving -- a hearty and long overdue "thank you" to all those who make AoS what it is. The reverence for things that deserve it and irreverence in all other things; the insightful, the indignant, the lighthearted and heavy. This is a site like no other, largely stemming from the mystical Powers That Be who keep it going daily, but also because of the morons who flesh out these topics (or who lead it on the wildest of goose-chases) through some of the most trying times the country and individuals have faced.

So, Ace, Buck, et al -- Thank you. Hope you find some rest in the coming season.
