These alarmists are finally realizing they’ve been whipping a lame, or maybe dying, horse that the majority of voters don’t consider anything to worry about in the first place. And when those consumers realized that such alarmism was already adding up to higher living costs, more laws and restrictions, and general discomfort and inconvenience, they rejected a political party that was basing much of its platform on nothing but unproven theories promoted by academics, bureaucrats, celebrities, and politicians who were heavily invested in the climate change nonsense and had much to gain by hyping it.

We’ll see. These elite parasites are worse than a case of herpes. They may go away for a while, and then they suddenly re-erupt. This may go the way of the horse and carriage, but they will invent another scam to replace it. They always do. Greed and lust for power never sleeps.

Heh. They haven’t realized anything, and they’re definitely not going away. Bad ideas cling to leftists like body odor. They’re oblivious to the stink. They’re busy figuring out new ways to improve their “messaging” and force their policies on everyone because we’re too dumb to know what’s good for us.

Finally the worm has turned but the cost will take some recovering from. There is a lot of rubbish to clean out and that will take some time. A new world awaits.

Trump’s triumphant garbage truck rally entrance (him in safety vest then also worn at ensuing rally) has real meaning, available now on different meme coffee mugs as well as a stand alone rally clip where he riffed for 5 humorous minutes on it. Sort of generally, “We elected the garbage man to take out the DC garbage.”

Have you noticed that we lost MyUsername?

Apparently he’s in the woods and off the internet. I predict he’ll be back after he runs out of toilet paper.

Glad to see that P’nut the Squirrel made it to this timely Josh cartoon. Another very sad story of egregious governmental misguided overreach.

NEVER been a recorded US case of rabies transmitted to humans by a squirrel. And P’nut never bit it’s orphan status rescuer, nor ever would given its famous rescue pet status. Nor could P’nut ever contract rabies from the wild given its comfy most definitely non-wild rescuer housing and food source.

And if rabies isn’t self evident at animal capture after human attack/bite (it usually is), the standard protocol is to quarantine (say a dog or raccoon) for 10 days to see if it does. The reason for ten days is, if no rabies is evident then, the last two of four human rabies vaccine doses can be safely omitted. Only ‘day one’ and ‘day seven’ doses are administered. I know this personally because one of my two children was bitten long ago by a neighbor’s farm dog at our Wisconsin dairy farm, and that dog did not have a rabies vaccination certificate. (Back story, my kid tried to ‘play’ with the dog and did not recognize that the farm dog did NOT want to play.) Ten days of severe parental anxiety ensued. In the end, the farm dog was not rabid and (at our call) not put down, and our family grew stronger together.
Plus, our kids learned the hard way to play only with our then three dogs, not anybody else’s ever.

Somehow the election of Trump cured the climate problem. Well, actually, the climate sect realized that DJT was not gonna put up with their nonsense. Best to go away voluntarily than be forced to give it up, possibly prosecuted. That is still a possibility, I hope, given all the crap which was foisted on the public in the name of globull warming. lol.

Love that Josh included Peanut !

“Climate scientist’s” main concern will be the money chain drying up 🙂

And the stupid bureaucrats euthanized the poor animal. They also want to euthanize MAGA supporters.

They know with Donald Trump as President, the climate change gravy train is off the rails.

Unless permitted by legislation or other method, the US government can say “go kick rocks.” The federal government has to grant you permission for you to sue it.

It’ll be much better- he’s going to crush the climate hoax. Months ago I was one of the few saying he’d win by a landslide. People underestimate him. I don’t.

Actually that is the one thing he probably can achieve. A serious dent in green wokery.
I am less sanguine about his other promises.

Trump needs a Republican Congress.

He might get that too! But even if he withdraws from the UN Paris agreement and the climate circus funding, this won’t stop the remainder of the climate alarmists from trying to fleece the rest of our western democracies.
Trump seriously needs to get the EPA to recognize that CO2 isn’t a pollutant, so that the basis for all the crazy climate mitigation anti fossil fuel policies have no substance in US law. That will really put the cat amongst the bureaucratic pigeons!

He will need to ensure that the EPA is led by someone who is reliable.

Needs only 6 more out of 23 remaining to be decided to take the House,

and on the counts, looks like could get at least 10 of them.

Seems to be a lot of the ‘counters’ didn’t pass their ‘addition’ tests in Grades 2?/3?,4?, along with their early comprehension studies when reading.

I’ve hear it being something to do with them having to wait a week to make sure all mail-in ballots are in, and that they are reluctant to call close seats until then.

I’ve look at the numbers and unless something strange happens, I’m guessing the Republican will end up around 221 to 224 (need 218)

Note: Arizona now called for Trump.. making it 312 electoral votes

The one in Washington State that hasn’t been called yet is republican vs republican.

I don’t know if one of them is really better than the other. Wrt the House, I think that one should be marked down as a win.

I believe that there is a cost for a ton of CO2 that is used in the various cost/benefits calculations. Now this is a negative figure. CO2 is a benefit and the cost/ton should reflect this. This is the way to get rid on this nonsense.

Nothing is certain. Not today. Not even on Jan. 20 or Jan. 21. We have some high probability pathways, but nothing is guraranteed.

That said, with Trump we do have cause for hope and for the future.
