Lining up?
Wait, give me a second to line up my fingers… ah, there ya go:
As always, Gummint wants to control our lives more and more, even if only on an annual basis:
Health officials announced Monday they want to make coronavirus booster vaccinations an annual event in America, renewing a call first made by President Joe Biden.
I have an annual flu shot because they seem to work, and more importantly don’t put me at increased risk of a heart attack — something which seems to be becoming more and more prevalent with Covid “vaccines”. Also, they’re not compulsory.
So herewith my response to the “officials” and their annual Covid shots:
I’d like to say “Better late than never” but I’d rather just mail all their severed heads to their next-of-kin:
President Joe Biden’s Energy Department quietly published a congressionally mandated report in December showing the president revoking the Keystone XL Pipeline federal permits cost thousands of jobs and billions of dollars.
Yeah, we all knew that at the time — especially all the workers who were laid off because of Fuck Joe Biden’s little ego trip.
More insanity from San Francisco:
A San Francisco reparations committee proposed a plan to city officials last month that would pay longtime black residents of the Northern California metropolitan city $5 million each while granting total debt forgiveness for facing decades of “systematic repression.”
The San Francisco African American Reparations Advisory Committee submitted the report to the Board of Supervisors just before the New Year, which addresses public policies created to “subjugate” black residents in the Bay Area city and includes a list of financial compensation, such as the lump-sum reparations payment of $5 million to each eligible individual.
“Centuries of harm and destruction of Black lives, Black bodies, and Black communities should be met with centuries of repair,” Eric McDonnell, committee chair, told The San Francisco Chronicle. “If you look at San Francisco, it’s very much a tale of two cities.”
Unfortunately, unlike in the Dickens novel, there will be no guillotines.
As for who qualifies for this oh-so generous handout: well, pretty much everyone.
Such residents who qualify for the payment must meet at least two criteria from a list of requirements, which include applicants to be at least 18 years old at the time the city enacts the committee’s proposal, have identified as black or African American on public documents for at least ten years, and prove they were born in the city between 1940 and 1996.
Other requirements from the report include residents that have lived in San Francisco for at least 13 years or personally been incarcerated — or the direct descendant of someone imprisoned — during the War on Drugs, which U.S. Pres. Richard Nixon declared in 1971.
And how are they going to fund this virtue-signaling generosity?
[thunderous crickets, with scattered murmurs of “higher taxes”…]
Never an errant 12.5 Richter-scale earthquake when you need one, is there?
You have to hand it to the Gun Control Party*: they never seem to realize that the liquid running into their eyes is blood from continuously beating their fool heads against the wall of conservative, Second Amendment-loving Texas.
Courtesy of the Texas State Rifle Association (TSRA), here’s their latest laundry list of wishful thinking:
Every single one of these has been copied and pasted, so to speak, from years gone past; all have gone down in flames or else been “tabled” without making it out of committee.
And lest we forget, the Texas Legislature is only in session for six months every two years. Amongst other things, they have to build, debate and pass a two-year budget — which the U.S. Congress can’t do in a full year — and ours have better things to do than debate this foolishness in the short time available to them.
*Actually, what I’d like to hand to them is their own severed heads on a pike, but we can discuss that some other time.
Jon Sanders writes about this latest trend from governments:
It already seems as if people are being conditioned to expect talk of rolling blackouts whenever the weather outside seems frightful.
To be very clear: rolling blackouts are not now, nor have they been, normal in the US. Therefore, having to expect rolling blackouts going forward would be abnormal. Nevertheless, as utility providers and power grid monitors have recently warned, the more grids are saddled with intermittent, unreliable wind and solar facilities, the more unreliable they are becoming. They’re more prone to capacity shortfalls and blackouts.
And this, my friends, is utter bullshit.
I don’t want to live under the constant threat of “rolling blackouts”, “load shedding” or any of the other cutesy little euphemisms these bastards come up with to disguise their incompetence.
I expect — no, I demand — to have uninterrupted electricity, 24/7/365, no matter the weather conditions or for any other reason.
If this means that power generation is achieved through burning coal, gas, oil or hippies, I don’t care.
Despite what the Greens and other eco-freaks think, electricity is not an indulgence or a luxury; it is as important to our civilization as food or water.
And I demand that our elected governments come to terms with that reality, and make the decisions that ensure it — or else be replaced by voters.
Enough of this climate change nonsense, its lies and its fantasies.
