Let’s Show Greta Just How Green We Really Are!
One tweet and one follow-up say it all…
First, the tweet:
And, this is what the pampered spoiled child activists left as a sign of their commitment to living’ green:
These are the kids blindly and naively serving as the point of the spear for corporatist grifters looking to score trillions from green energy subsidies.

Sedition, Anyone? Gina’s Devastating Signals!
The Biden team says it has to “find creative ways around it” which, of course, is precisely what the Obama/Biden team previously did in creating the rule the Supreme Court just found to be not Constitutional!
White House National Climate Advisor Gina McCarthy joins Andrea Mitchell to respond to the Supreme Court’s decision to restrict the EPA’s authority to limit climate pollution by power plants, sharing what can be still done at the federal and state level to combat the climate crisis.
“What it did was tell us that the Supreme Court is more interested in special interests that are being funded by the fossil fuel industry than they are in protecting public health, and giving the agency the right and opportunity and obligation to actually keep our air clean, keep our water clean, and to address the existential challenge of our time,” says McCarthy. “We have to fight it every moment and we have to find creative ways around it, and we will.”
McCarthy’s words—devastating signals to be sure—say out loud what the Obama/Biden team thinks about the rule of law; that it’s meant to be ignored as the gang proceeds to reinvent America and put all power in the hands of elites. These are the real special interests at play in this story and they’re rattled that the Supremes have interfered.

Biden Attacks Oil and Natural Gas for Problems It Created!
This is a very perceptive analysis:
As it relates to inflation, the Biden administration has publicly shot itself (and the middle class) in the foot and, rather than address their errors and admit wrongdoing, they have instead been unfairly using the oil and gas industry as a scapegoat for problems that the administration helped create…
I noted this past week on Twitter that the vilification simply doesn’t make sense. People on the left use petroleum-based products just like people on the right – and no one from government was concerning themselves with oil and gas in the slightest when the price of oil crashed in April 2020 and Exxon lost over $20 billion that year. There was no concern for the families who worked for Exxon and there was little chatter out of the White House at all.
Certainly, the government outrage about the effects of oil & gas on the middle class – when it meant financial struggles for an employer of 64,000 people – was missing in action. I guess no one really cared about those families…
On the contrary, the occasional headline that popped about oil in 2020 was usually someone dancing on the grave of the industry:
But all of a sudden, now that these companies are doing something “evil,” like turning a profit, they have once again become hellish juggernauts that must be stopped at all costs.
It’s so clear this isn’t just a leftist war about clean energy, it’s a war on capitalism and profitability. The left absolutely hates that oil companies make money. Biden recently complained they are “making more money than god” but failed to say they “lost more money than god” when they burned through $20 billion in 2020.
Leftists politicians believe these companies simply don’t deserve it. The left wants a state planned economy where they dictate which companies are virtuous enough for them to be the bearer of profits, regardless of how integral the products or services are to them in their daily lives.
And as we see, as these companies return back to profitability, all of a sudden it’s important to immediately denounce them. This is a war on capitalism.
Indeed it is, because a planned economy will reward our elites, who use leftists for achieving their own ends, with the corporatist grifting opportunities they so desire and that’s the real root of the attacks being made today.

Biden Team Reaches Top of Peak Absurdity
Absolutely true:
Methane Fee, Windfall Profits Taxes, Repealing IDCs, calls for FTC investigations into price gouging, and now a federal gasoline tax suspension. The Administration’s energy policy is disjointed and often counterproductive. Rather than flailing attacks on the oil and natural gas industry, leaders in Washington need a serious energy strategy that embraces all of America’s energy resources, including oil and natural gas.
Peak Absurdity!
In addition to these problematic legislative proposals, there are numerous concerning policies currently being implemented across the agencies. The Administration is shutting down and blocking pipelines, greatly restricting oil and natural gas leasing on federal lands, slow walking LNG export permits, and issuing sweeping climate disclosure rules to discourage investment in the industry.
These bad policies do nothing to address skyrocketing inflation and are having a real effect on the President’s approval rating, putting him at low that few presidents have experienced.
Biden is simply a tool of the grifters because he’s;ways been one himself; a nasty fellow looking to steal everything and willing to destroy anyone in his way, whose sellout character has been obscured by his foibles and now his senility.
