Biden: I’ve Declared a Climate Emergency ‘Practically Speaking’
CNN: ‘Biden incorrectly claims he has declared a national emergency on climate’– CNN: While Biden has taken a series of significant legislative and executive steps to combat climate change, he has stopped short of declaring a national emergency, which would unlock sweeping new federal authorities and funds to combat the climate crisis. Climate activists have called on Biden since the earliest days of his presidency to declare a national emergency. … The president seemed close to declaring a climate emergency in the summer of 2022 after it appeared Sen. Joe Manchin, a West Virginia Democrat, had tanked the Inflation Reduction Act – Biden’s signature climate and health care bill. In a July 20, 2022, speech in Massachusetts, Biden strongly hinted that he could declare an emergency.
Politico: Biden says he has ‘practically’ declared a climate emergency. But he actually hasn’t…YET – ‘Would give him a host of new powers to combat climate change’– “We’ve already done that,” Biden said Wednesday when asked whether he was prepared to declare a national climate emergency during an interview on The Weather Channel. “We’ve conserved more land, we’ve moved into rejoining the Paris Climate Accord. We’ve got a $60 billion climate control facility.” When pressed about whether he has actually declared an emergency, Biden responded, “Practically speaking, yes.”
However, no such declaration has come from the White House. Experts say Biden could invoke the 1976 National Emergencies Act to give himself the power to order the manufacture of clean energy technology, deploy renewables on military bases, block crude oil exports or even suspend offshore drilling — though that would require compensation to the owners. Though the law limits emergency declarations to one year, it could be renewed annually to address the increasingly troubling impacts of climate change.
What it would mean for Biden to declare a national ‘climate emergency’ – ‘Triggers ability for him to deploy around 130 different powers’– U.S. presidents have declared 60 national emergencies since 1976, according to the think tank Demos. Historically, those have typically been for acute crises, such as specific natural disasters, rather than a long-term predicament like climate change. …
“If he declares a national emergency, it triggers the ability for him to deploy around 130 different powers,” Jean Su, energy justice program director and senior attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity, said.
Biden could stop “the export of crude oil…phase out all exports and imports of fossil fuels entirely…stop issuing permits for offshore oil and gas wells under already existing leases and halt all drilling immediately…marshaling funding under the DPA to deploy clean energy — for example, rooftop solar installations on low-income housing.”

I don’t see how he could declare a climate emergency and then win the election. But maybe he will as the powers-to-be have other plans to toss him anyway and replace him with someone else, perhaps Michelle.
Mr. Michelle? Don’t follow the following link if possessed of a weak stomach: https://www.zerohedge.com/political/obama-repeatedly-fantasizes-about-making-love-men-biographer
The article is according to Obama biographer David Garrow and is solely his work, not mine.
If Obama is gay and Michelle is a man where did Malia and Sasha come from?
Bi sexual. It’s not all that uncommon for women to discover they need to share their bed with another man. Then again it used to be men married to stay in the closet,
A birthing person?
Anita Blanchard & Marty Nesbitt; “Marty is chairman of the Obama Foundation and Anita (a doctor) “delivered” the Obama Children” per source below.
Take it FWIW (since no one to my knowledge has done a DNA test):
https://twitter.com/ChanceDennis90/status/1664647927287914497
Since I have no dog in this race, I neither endorse, condone, support, protest or deny the foregoing.
While Michelle claims her children were conceived by IVF, there are accounts which suggest alternatives (as above).
This is all doppelganger theory, similar to Chelsea Clinton/Webb Hubbell mebbe her father thing.
Given that there are no actual birth records for the Obama children, these alternative scenarios seem plausible.
This kind of low rent nonsense has no place on this site.
Excuse please; Is this your site? A question was asked, then answered, with the caveat “FWIW”. It would appear you are into censoring, the level to which you would censor has been established at least to this ‘level’, on account of _your_ ‘personal tastes’, right? Your personal taste, note that please.
IF you have something specific, please, by all means take it up with Obama biographer David Garrow.
Space aliens?
Well, it won’t be the cackler.
Could he suspend elections?
Could he suspend elections?
“This issue is too important to risk a change in policy, therefore we are suspending elections until the crisis is resolved.”
I don’t think they would be brash enough to try that yet, but at this point who knows?
No but I imagine they are capable of “re-instating” COVID like election provisions (mail in ballots, drop boxes, month long “election day” etc.) justified by a concern for “public safety” during the “emergency”.
Under the emergency, all “voting” would be by mail-in ballots, which would have a month to arrive. Bribem would “win” with 90 million such ballots.
All they have to do is ban voting in person. Imagine wasting all that gas driving to the polling places. Then make sure that only loyal union members be allowed to count the votes.
They will never lose again.
Replace him with an actual far-right dictatorship. It will be the only way to fight the stupidity.
Never attribute to a conspiracy what good just be incompetence, buy this is too much incompetence.
Maybe his handlers are planning on waiting until he is re-elected before formally declaring an emergency. At that point he would have to be impeached and removed from office, to be replaced by whomever the power brokers intend to replace Kamela with. So, we would still be stuck with the emergency declaration until the next election in 2008. A lot of damage can be done in four years!
Maybe he plans to suspend elections and declare himself President for Life.
Probably be a quicker option.
In an honest election, correct. But I have no faith in that, particularly since the RNC doesn’t seem concerned.
So, Joe Biden could garner 130 new powers by declaring a climate emergency. I’ll bet 100 of those deal with organizing elections and counting votes.
As with Bush’s Patriot Act, we shouldn’t expect its actual use to bear any relation to its justification.
As with Trudeau’s assumption of Emergency Powers or Pelosi & Cheney’s January 6th Show, we should expect targeting of what government considers the only true terrorists – its political opponents.
“How can we solve the [insert name] Emergency if our enemies are allowed to spread the word that there’s not really an Emergency? That we’re just grabbing power? That we ourselves are not making sacrifices and that the sacrifices we are forcing on the masses have, at best, no effect on our declared Emergency?”
Biden is a wannabe dictator and a fascist. Well, at least the person (wink wink) running the show right now is.
All political parties are fascist with strong dictatorial tendencies.
Some far more than others.
All Big Government parties are fascist, nazi, communist, socialist or what ever name you give a dictatorial power structure. But don’t worry because you have been living in an unfree country for all of your life. Form 1040 tells you you are only a slave. In a free country DIRECT Taxation would be a BIG No No.
You include Libertarian with that, ev? I would be interested in your reasoning if so.
They forfeited any right to use the term when their Presidential candidate expressed his willingness to force someone to use their creative talents to further an endeavor that was deeply offensive to them.
Why not just issue an executive order banning all rationality?
That gets everything that homo sapiens has evolved to and developed out of the control of the citizenry.
Don’t joke. He could – could – declare that as the last election was so corrupted by Trump then further elections should be postponed. You think I joke? The man is certifiable – as are all the people who keep his cadaver in power when he spends all those weeks in retreat with no logs.
His thinking is not that rational
He is not the thinking part just the puppet part. We really think he has any power ! Who are the blood suppliers that print all needed to corrupt the system. We really think the US is economically in good shape?
I guess the one good thing you can say about Biden is once you buy him off, he stays bought. Sanders ducked out of the election when Biden agreed to the BIDEN-SANDERS UNITY TASK FORCE RECOMMENDATIONS. Biden is still following them to the letter and to Biden, his being president is at the cost of our freedom and republic. The voters who put him in office mean nothing to him.
‘The voters who put him in office mean nothing to him.’
When, not if, the wheels really start coming off the cart, we’ll at least have the satisfaction of telling the useful idiots that they voted for this.
They will probably be in denial.
They will probably be in denial.
They have been so far.
If the wheels do start coming off, they will no doubt blame it on Trump.
‘Technically speaking, I have not declared a climate emergency.’
‘Practically speaking, I actually have declared a “climate emergency” …. I mean, I have begun to ignore existing laws, and I have directed my admin & regulatory folks to do the same.’
Just a few weeks Biden testily declared that his administration has not banned incandescent light bulbs.
Technically true, they just created new regulations that made it illegal to sell them.
No practical difference, but it does allow him to strut about in front of his ignorant voters.
I don’t see how incandescent utility bulbs can be phased out. They are more rugged and, as far as I know they haven’t made an led that can withstand oven, microwave attic (etc) heat, and the jolts from constant opening and closing doors. Likely we’ll pay more for leds that need to be replaced frequently. But who knows…
“You can keep your doctor.”
“You can keep your land line.”
“You can keep your incandescent lights.”
Go for it Big Boy – I believe this is what it will take to bring this whole fiasco to a head!
It will end in tears. But, I suspect, not in the way the lefties, democrats and climate alarmists expect.
Reality kind of has a way of biting back.
When there is no longer food on the table things will go really bad.
Agree – fed up of all the elitist green blob alarmist lies, nudging, data tweaking, deceit, idiotic hysteria, deep red weather maps, nut zero hyperbole – let’s just get in the cage and fight
Not happening in an election year. Unless, of course, those powers include suspending elections.
Remember the FBI, Department of homeland security and the military are left/woke. It could become difficult to dislodge him.
It’s becoming more and more like a cliché of a banana republic than ever before. Where’s Woody Allen’s ‘Bananas’ for comparison?
They’ll just pull a Covid and declare a Climate Exception to normal voting procedures. The courts won’t stop them. Afterwards, the courts won’t act either.
This at the same time the Inflation Reduction Act has been acknowledged to the the Green New Deal in disguise. Kalifornia Governor Noisome has just announced a grab at the $8b in “hydrogen economy” subsidies in the Act.
This
is gettinghas gotten out of hand …It has gotten out of control a long long long time ago. Maybe most of us were to blind to see. Every form of power structure will get out of control. Remember that sh.t always flows to the top.
“We’ve got a $60 billion climate control facility”
Of course you have. Did they give you a special panel of soft buttons and flashing lights and tell you that?
I am reminded of the comic genius of Josh:
From a conspiracy view standpoint, I am really curious about the train of thought/logic connections/sub-conscious brain short circuitry that resulted the conscious statement :
“We’ve got a $60 billion climate control facility”
Speaking of Josh we need more of his cartoons!
The “Climate Emergency” is just a vehicle to get what they really want — rule by fiat.
Economic and political suicide pure and simple
Will every other country in the world follow suit, without universal adoption investment will move elsewhere.
It’d be a global trigger. Could he suspend elections? This is exactly why there is a 2nd amendment .. good luck to us all.
The U.K. had Covid Marshals I suppose this would entail Climate Marshals….
Put that light out!
AND if you think ‘Covid Karens‘ and the local ‘Code Enforcement‘ people had power, as the saying goes: “You haven’t seen anything yet.“
They only get worse.
COVID lockdowns all but bankrupted the country – 31 trillion in debt – will the democrats really go down that road again
Will the Democrats go down that road again?
Eagerly. Not only go down it, but go down it faster and further as well.
He’ll do anything to remain in power – even sell his country out – because while he’s POTUS he and his family are virtually untouchable. Ceauaeacu thought the same.
The Biden Crime Family, so far in the investigation, has taken in $20 million from foreign billionaires and governments.
And this is just scratching the surface.
The real emergency we have is we have a corrupt/delusional President of the United States currently in office.
“The Biden Crime Family, so far in the investigation, has taken in $20 million from foreign billionaires and governments.”
That’s not what Devon Archer said. He testified that he had no knowledge of any wrongdoing by Joe Biden as it related to his son’s business dealings. He also stated…
“I have no basis to know if he altered policy to benefit his son.”
Yes Hunter used his fathers name, but hey the Trumps used their fathers position when he was president all those years ago too. And Trump himself feathered his own nest when he got foreign governments to stay in his own hotels at exorbitant prices. And he got the secret service at huge cost to stay at his places too. Now that is dodgy.
Time and time again we are told there is proof that will nail Joe Biden once and for all and time and time again it turns out to be nothing….
You certainly tell funny jokes.
If you find the truth funny then that explains a lot…..
What you find to be truth, rarely, if ever is.
OK MIUMark, which part of what I wrote is not the truth?
All the words with letters in them.
The Biden Crime Family, so far in the investigation, has taken in $20 million from foreign billionaires and governments.”
re: “That’s not what Devon Archer said.”
Dumb.

HAHA brilliant comeback. Think of that yourself?
Poor simpleton-parrot
No-one will ever accuse you of thinking… ever. !
Lack of self awareness is one of your most endearing traits.
Yes, and like Representative Commer said, bank records don’t lie.
That should be “Comer”.
So, either Hunter & Joe are corrupt and in it together;
Or, Hunter is defrauding foreign businesses, officials, entities, by and through a business model that implies it can facilitate access to the govt of the USA (and as such in need of FARA oversight).
On paper (to date) record of greater than $20 million to Hunter & his family ….
The man that managed the money lines for Hunter, also managed money and did the taxes for Joe Biden; and knows that the only service provided for the $20 million in fees, was either:
a) perceived (fraudulent) access to Joe Biden, while still violating FARA, or
b) actual (corrupt) access to Joe Biden, while violating FARA.
The money manager co-mingled Hunter & Joe monies at times ….
Hunter money, at a minimum, paid Joe phone, utilities, and excessive rent payments.
(None of the above has anything to do with Trump, Joe Kennedy senior, Al Copone, John Kitzhaber, Cornpop, or anyone else you may perceive as a bad dude.)
How long was it that Hunter and Joe shared a bank account?
I don’t know … I have read that they had a shared account.
I get the ‘co-mingled’ from the statements by the money manager.
Money laundering!
Absolutely it’s money laundering. They are trying to hide the source of the funds, and the destination of the funds.
What honest family has 20 different secret overseas bank accounts?
What honest family has 170 Suspicious Activity Reports filed on them from the various banks the Bidens did business with?
The Bidens are as crooked as a dog’s hind leg.
“The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”
Sorry we talking about the Trumps or the Bidens?
The Biden’s, of course.
Trump is just the opposite of Biden.
Nobody ever paid Hunter Biden for his skills; he couldn’t organize a one car funeral. Nobody paid Trump’s kids for access to Trump. Trump lost money to be president. Democrats come out of office with more money than they had before.
Hunter is a drug addled crook. Maybe Joe is involved but to date there is nothing that can be pinned on him. I remember the days when Trumps minions celebrated that Trump couldn’t be nailed by anyone. Those days are certainly over, and maybe one day J Biden will find himself facing the courts. Till then he is an innocent man.
And still no-one has nailed Trump with anything REAL.
You know, just as everyone else knows, that everything the Demorats have put, is purely politically manufactured LIES.
Exactly.
The guilty parties are the radical Democrats who are stomping on the U.S. Constitution in their efforts to take out Trump.
The most recent charge is basically an accusation that Trump knew he was lying when he said that there were problems with the last presidential election because he had advisers that said the claims were false. (Let’s ignore for the moment that Trump had other advisers who supported the claim.) From that the AG concludes that these lies somehow interfered with an election that was already over.
And then there are the charges over documents that the Presidential Records Act gives Trump the right to have in his possession.
“Maybe Joe is involved”
We’re making progress!
“I remember the days when Trumps minions celebrated that Trump couldn’t be nailed by anyone. Those days are certainly over”
Oh, I wouldn’t say that. Trump haters have been saying this from the very beginning, yet Trump has been proven innocent on every occasion, and I think that record will continue.
I don’t think any of the cases lodged against Trump will stand up to Supreme Court scrutiny. None of them.
If it weren’t for double standards, leftists would have no standards.
Neither Trump nor Biden has been convicted of anything.
Simon treats Trump as if he has been convicted of every charge.
On the other hand he gets his panties in a wad when we examine the evidence and find it sufficient to convict.
Trump is an innocent-until-proven-guilty man. Just like Biden, both of them.
Did you read that in the transcripts, or is that what you have been told to believe?
Transcripts
So you again admit IGNORANCE. !
Not having actually read anything
Just the far-left MSM gossip columns !
Those would be the transcripts that haven’t been released.
That pales compared to the $20 million identified so far for the Eastern European escapade. It even is probably much less than the $11 million Hunter got for his involvement with the Burisma board, particularly since he had no expertise in energy companies. It is like comparing someone shoplifting some gum with a bank robber.
Prosecute him then…. Till then I’ll wait quietly.
In DENIAL, always.. Poor little simian.
Why do you think Biden et al are pursuing the climate emergency nonsense.
It’s NOTHING to do with climate, everyone with a rational mind knows that.
It’s about retaining power to avoid facing the consequences of their utter and evil corruption.
Prosecute him then…. Till then I’ll wait quietly.
But you have previously maintained that accusations against Trump are evidence of guilt. Can’t have it both ways.
Don’t expect Simon to worry about his own hypocrisy.
“Don’t expect Simon to worry about his own hypocrisy.”
Says the king of hypocrisy. I say take Biden to the courts if there is concrete evidence. You on the other hand think Trump should be immune no matter what he does. Now that is olympic level hypocrisy.
re: biden
take Biden to the courts if there is concrete evidence
re: trump
if there is enough evidence then take the person to trial.
lol
No I say if there is enough evidence then take the person to trial. It is called justice. Trump has more than enough evidence for the indictments he faces. Hell, his own VP is now saying he should be tried. And a republican governor in Georgia and Bill Barr the x attorney general. Biden on the other hands has only rumours.
Waiting on Biden’s toadies to do their jobs. You really do live in an alternate reality.
Simon: “he got foreign governments to stay in his own hotels at exorbitant prices.”
Where’s the evidence for this. I don’t recall the leftwing media even making this an issue.
Some Democrat somewhere made the charge in a press conference. That’s evidence sufficient for conviction in Simon’s world.
Read above….
“Where’s the evidence for this.”

Now give me a link showing the direct connection to Trump, please. The Trump Organisation owned the hotel at that time, managed by his sons. Trump had resigned all interests and management in the Trump Organisation the year before.
Haha. That’s brilliant. So you guys want to hang Biden for the sins of his son…. but you are happy to let Trump off coz he lets his kids rake in his ill gotten profits. Either way you look at it Trump abused his position as president to frisk foreign countries through his hotels.
“Haha. That’s brilliant. So you guys want to hang Biden for the sins of his son”
No, we want to “hang” Joe Biden for the crimes he has committed.
He’s already guilty of treason. That’s what I want him found gulty of. Him and Barack Obama and all their unscrupulous minions. That’s what all Republicans and people who love their freedom should want. We can’t have one political party dominating the landscape by trampling on the U.S. Constitution and that is exactly what Obama and Biden did, and that’s exactly what Biden is doing today with his government persecution of Trump. It’s election interference and what they are doing is unconstitutional. It’s not just about the money.
And there is no evidence that Trump abused his position. That’s a figment of your imagination. You see what you want to see. An accusation against Trump is evidence in your eyes.
“We can’t have one political party dominating the landscape by trampling on the U.S. Constitution ”
But come on Tom, that is exactly what Trump tried to do on Jan 6 when he tried to override the will of the people. How could anyone be more of a traitor than that?
And maybe Biden is involved in Trumps prosecutions(although he has stayed right away from any comment, unlike Trump who wades into the mud up to his neck), but Trump just keeps giving his political opponents opportunity after opportunity with his comments. Why doesn’t he just STFU and let his lawyers do his talking.
“Time and time again we are told there is proof that will nail Joe Biden once and for all and time and time again it turns out to be nothing….”
Yeah, that’s the Democrat talking point. But it’s early in the investigation, and if Donald Trump and his son had done what Biden and his son have done, you would be calling for Trump’s head right about now.
Stayed tuned, Simon. We haven’t even gotten to the point where we match up financial donations to the Biden Crime Family and what policy decisions took place at those times.
You don’t have to receive a direct payment to be gulty of bribery, Simon. Bribery is one of the specific transgressions mentioned in the U.S. Constitution that will get a president removed from office.
“Yeah, that’s the Democrat talking point. But it’s early in the investigation,”
That’s fine, if he is guilty then charge him. But you have to admit to date there is loads of stuff on Hunter but nothing concrete on Joe.
if he is guilty then charge him
That’s not how it works.
That’s intentional, Simon. They are trying to hide any money Joe might have received.
This is a common situation with money laundering.
That’s why they made a law that says you don’t have to directly receive a payment to be guilty of bribery.
“They are trying to hide any money Joe might have received.”
But you have to concede that there is a chance that Joe didn’t get any of it…. don’t you? I mean we know Hunter is as dodgy as hell, but there is nothing in Joe’s background that Ive seen that would point to dishonesty with money.
no knowledge of any wrongdoing
That is his opinion.
“That is his opinion.”
Absolutely but this was meant to be the smoking gun. If he has no knowledge of Joe committing a crime then that is that. You are going to have to find someone else who actually knows Joe has committed a crime.
If he has no knowledge of Joe committing a crime then that is that.
Again, that’s not how it works.
Person A does something illegal
Person B does not know that it is illegal
Person B testifying “I saw Person A do X, Y, Z, but he didn’t do break the law” is not evidence that Person A didn’t do anything illegal. “That” is not “that”.
Well then what are you waiting for?
You really don’t understand how these things work, do you?
And I’m flattered you think I have any sort of say in the matter.
BTW, what were they waiting for with Trump? He’s been out of office 2-1/2 years?
“BTW, what were they waiting for with Trump? He’s been out of office 2-1/2 years?”
Concrete evidence. Thats what you need before you charge someone.
No, they wanted to interfere in the 2024 election. That’s why they waited until now to file trumped-up charges against Trump.
“No, they wanted to interfere in the 2024 election. ”
But Tom, they have enough “concrete” evidence to build a Trump hotel. They have him on tape… have numerous witnesses including people who worked with and for him and countless communications/emails. If he doesn’t get convicted of some or all of these indictments then justice is missing here.
And Tom do you not remember Trump telling his crowds if he got elected he was going to lock Hillary up, because I do? How is that not political interference?
Concrete evidence. Thats what you need before you charge someone.
And yet again, that’s not how it works. You might want to consult with an attorney.
But shall I remind you:
re: biden
take Biden to the courts if there is concrete evidence
re: trump
if there is enough evidence then take the person to trial.
“What are you waiting for” applies to both, but you want to dismiss one before waiting on that evidence, and even stop the investigation. You are simply too blinded by your partisanship to see your hypocrisy.
Shall we let the courts decide?
Yes he is corrupt, but worse if he is taking advice from Bill McKibben, who says he should follow the science- when Mckibben is the arch enemy of real science and technology because of his extreme environmental religious views. Then we have the stupid being led by the blind, what an indictment for the mighty US of A, the leader of the free world. It’s past time this whole climate scam was wrapped up and binned!
“It’s past time this whole climate scam was wrapped up and binned!”
It will be wrapped up eventually when it is seen that powering the world with windmills and industrial solar is not possible with current technology.
The only question is how much money will we waste before this realization occurrs.

The thirst for dictatorship power never ends in human society it is one of the biggest character flaws we have.
The ego and pride are always worn on the sleeves by deficient men who can’t allow freedom for all to develop as that takes away his chance to show what an immoral and stupid man he is…….. who is oblivious to that reality.
Biden is truly an incompetent and stupid man who has a long history of making the wrong decision because he lacks independence of thought to learn and critical thinking skills.
I have no desire for power. I have enough trouble managing my own life. If power comes to me, I consider it a duty to fulfill the tasks that the job requires and would be happy to end the job when I am no longer required.
I suspect there are many like me and the others like me have little desire to engage in the mess we call government
The vast majority of people are like you.
Unfortunately it only takes one psychopath, determined to rule at any cost, to upset that ordered society.
The problem is that most people just want to lead their lives, spend time with their families and go to be on time.
Paying attention to what our so called leaders are doing is more effort than most people want to spare. This goes double when the mainstream media goes completely in the tank for those in power and help them hide the evil doings.
I remember, vaguely, a saying, something like this: “Anyone who seeks political power should by no means be allowed to have it.”
You are right. That is why we need political systems that do not nourish such flaws. Political parties are a system that propels the worst possible people to power. For independent thought you need independent people. for this you need to vote for independent candidates.
How do you propose we make it impossible for political parties to form?
From the article: “Experts say Biden could invoke the 1976 National Emergencies Act to give himself the power to order the manufacture of clean energy technology, deploy renewables on military bases, block crude oil exports or even suspend offshore drilling — though that would require compensation to the owners. Though the law limits emergency declarations to one year, it could be renewed annually to address the increasingly troubling impacts of climate change.”
That sounds like grounds for impeachment to me.
If Biden wants to bring all the conservatives together, then he should call this emergency. This blatant powergrab will not be tolerated. All hell will break loose if Biden tries to enforce any such powergrab.
If he keeps declaring an emergency then there won’t be anyone able to impeach. It’ll tear the USA apart – much like the civil war.
The vast majority of leftists live in such impermeable echo chambers that they actually believe almost all of the people agree with them, and that the people will cheer when they take over the government.
Yes, the radical Left does think of themselves as mainstream.
They can’t believe that Trump has so many supporters.
The best time for Biden to declare any type of emergency would be late April to early May of next year. It would be impossible to make Joe Biden look presidential for more than 6 months.
hahahahahaha
“We’ve conserved more land, we’ve moved into rejoining the Paris Climate Accord. We’ve got a $60 billion climate control facility.”
Sounds like its a done deal. Pretty soon that facility will be sending Klimate Karma Tornadoes into selected fly-over country towns to punish the deniers. That’s one of the 130-plus new powers he has.
oh, and I had thought there was already a law of ‘conservation of land’. Didn’t Levi Hutchinson prove that in the 1820’s?
I want to know more about this “$60 billion climate control facility”.
Is this a figment of Joe’s imagination, or is it a real thing?
The Biden regime resembles nothing so much as the famous Las Vegas animal act, Siegfried and Roy. Following white tiger Mantacor’s attack on Roy Horn in 2003 the show ended. While this might have been a sad moment for the two German entertainers it was a disaster for the 250+ people that were employed in the production, who instantly became jobless.
The many DC employees of the Biden executive are conscious of the fact that their livelihood depends on being puppeteers in Biden’s public appearances and reinforcing whatever ideas they are able to impress upon him. Of course once in a significant position in the DC power structure they are unlikely to disappear from it entirely but there are others, waiting in the pool of academia and business, to take their place. Maintaining the Biden charade, and extending it, is of utmost importance to thousands. If it involves curtailing the freedoms of America that’s a small inconvenience to pay off the mortgage of the home in Alexandria, VA. If you live there, belief in AGW is required.
Biden runs a lawless administration. The White House and the bureaucracy routinely ignore the law and the Constitution.
Their idea of following laws, procedures or Constitutional limits can be summed up as “Make me.” They believe they can do whatever they want to do until somebody sues to stop them. Even then, the attempt to circumvent the courts and continue doing as they please without accountability,
You were right the first time – they will continue what they are doing until someone actually removes them from power, all of them.
From the above article:
“We’ve got a $60 billion climate control facility.”—Joe Biden
Wow, does that statement invite some serious questions:
— Where is that “facility” located?
— Who is running that facility?
— How long has it been operating?
— Did Congress appropriate $60 billion in funding to pay for that specifically, or was it hidden under never-before-existing “infrastructure”?
— What, if any, “climate control” has it produced and where are the scientific article(s) documenting such?
— A Web search does not reveal a US “climate control facility” . . . why has this facility been held in secrecy from the US public?
— Does it even matter if this claimed facility does NOTHING to control climate for, say, the next 100 years as is almost guaranteed scientifically?
Calling Ms. Karine Jean-Pierre . . . calling Karine . . . your
services arespin is desperately needed at the podium . . .“We passed a $360 billion climate control facility.”
Maybe we need to make allowances for the fact that the guy obviously doesn’t speak English as his first language.
Umm, you grossly misquoted what was said.
If they have a “climate control facility,” why haven’t they removed the hit weather they keep batching about?!
Oh, and can this “facility” erase China, India and other so-called “developing” nations?
Does Biden’s eye twitch when he mentions the “facility?”
He’ll (his handlers’ll) delay until it’s to late for SCOTUS to rule “WTF” before the next election.
