A Little Political Hobnobbing on a Thursday
Here’s all you really need to know about Joe Biden, the man:
A young mother testifies about the loss of her two children, properly putting the blame not on Joe Biden, but on everyone in Washington, DC for doing nothing to stop the flow of fentanyl poison across our Southern border.
How does Joe Biden respond? By trying to shift blame. No empathy. No sorrow for a mother who lost two children to this poison. No promise to work to end this assault on America. No offering of any words of comfort whatsoever.
Just blame-shifting, and a sneer.
Because that is who Joe Biden is: A mean, nasty, demented, vindictive, vile, disgusting ghoul.
Never forget this reality.
But hey, no mean tweets, right? You betcha.
Caption contest: Based on this image, what will Lori Lightfoot’s new job be?
My guess was suit model for Jos. A. Bank ads.
Your turn.
This one caught my eye for a reason many readers can probably guess:
Ok, so, killing this bald eagle is a felony under federal law, and that is as it should be. This is not a sport bird, but our national symbol. It’s a bird that was once a listed endangered species, and one that still exists in perilously small numbers. It deserves our respect and protection.
But here’s the thing about that: Wind farms are annually granted dozens, if not hundreds of permits to “take” eagles that are killed by the massive blades on their 300-500 ft. tall wind turbines, including bald eagles, with impunity. No penalty, no criminal charges, no prosecutions, no repercussions.
Wind energy is a scourge, the second-largest killer of birds on the planet. But liberals don’t care because it’s “green.”
Buffoons.
Speaking of liberal buffoons, here’s a clip of climate alarm movement poster child and erstwhile AOC-style crisis actor Greta Thunberg getting “arrested” in Norway yesterday:
Was she protesting all the bird killing done by this wind farm? Oh, no - don’t be silly. Greta doesn’t care about those damn birds even a little bit. If she did, she’d protest at a wind farm every day of the week and never run out of targets.
No, Greta was there to protest on behalf of some indigenous people called the Sami, who herd reindeer on the land to be occupied by these gigantic towers, turbines and concrete pads.
Here’s an excerpt from the AP story on the matter:
Dozens of activists, including Greta Thunberg of neighboring Sweden, blocked the entrance to Norway’s energy ministry in Oslo Monday to protest a wind farm they say hinders the rights of the Sami Indigenous people to raise reindeer in Arctic Norway.
The activists, mainly teenagers, lay outside the ministry entrance holding Sami flags and a poster reading “Land Back.”
The protesters from organizations called Young Friends of The Earth Norway and the Norwegian Sami Association’s youth council NSR-Nuorat, said “the ongoing human rights violations” against Sami reindeer herders “must come to an end.” Several of the activists donned the Sami’s traditional bright-colored dress and put up a tent used by the Arctic people.
In October 2021, Norway’s Supreme Court ruled that the construction of the wind turbines violated the rights of the Sami, who have been using the land to raise reindeer for centuries. However, the wind farm is still operating.
“It is absurd that the Norwegian government has chosen to ignore the ruling,” said Thunberg, who joined the protest early Monday.

Ok, that’s all fine, right. Well, sure, unless you read all the way down to the final sentence of the AP story, which maybe 5% of readers actually did. There you find out this little fact about these “Sami” people:
Today the nomadic people live mostly modern lifestyles but still tend reindeer.
[End]
Oh.
So, their “cause” is most likely as phony as Greta herself, which of course makes them a perfect match with one another.
Naturally, within 30 minutes of the video of Greta’s arrest surfacing, the propaganda artists at Reuters published this 2-minute fawning, free ad for the little crisis actor:
How dare you, indeed?
That is all.
My first thought was Lightfoot looked like a Funeral Director.
Greta was smiling, so again a fake arrest for the cameras.
