Democrats Come After Gas Generators

When Democrat energy policy inevitably results in rolling blackouts as in California, don’t expect to fall back on a gas generator. The Biden Regime is all but banning them:

A proposed Consumer Product Safety Commission rule limits the amount of carbon monoxide a product can emit, with the commission admitting that 95 percent of portable gas generators on the market cannot comply with its new standard. As a result, industry leaders say, the rule will prompt widespread generator shortages, as manufacturers only have six months to design generators that meet the proposed regulation. That process normally takes years, Portable Generator Manufacturers’ Association executive director Susan Orenga told the Washington Free Beacon.

They know we will be needing the generators. This latest decree…

…comes as many Americans face an increased risk of power outages as the country increasingly relies on green energy to produce its electricity. A whopping two-thirds of North America faces an “elevated risk” of power blackouts this summer, a leading grid watchdog found in May, a vulnerability that stems from America’s increase in green power generation and decrease in fossil fuel power plants. California, for example, saw power outages in the summer of 2022 as electricity demand surged.

Portable gas generators can help those who experience a power outage keep the lights on, and nearly five million households use them. Should the Biden administration finalize its rule, however, the generators could become difficult to obtain. The commission’s rule prohibits manufacturers from stockpiling non-compliant generators prior to the rule’s enactment.

Given the conspicuous malevolence of many prominent Democrats, banning generators might be attributed to sheer malice. More likely, it is part of a strategy.

Consider the Black Lives Matter riots that were aggressively encouraged by the entire liberal establishment, prominently including the mainstream media, the Democratic Party, and virtually every major corporation. Consider the violent chaos that has been deliberately unleashed by openly pro-crime attorneys general installed throughout the country by the Democratic Party’s #1 donor, George Soros (e.g., Alvin Bragg [New York] George Gascon [Los Angeles], Kim Foxx [Chicago], Larry Krasner [Philadelphia], Chesa Boudin [San Francisco], Kim Gardner [St Louis], Marilyn Mosby [Baltimore], Monique Worrell [central Florida]). Democrats believe that societal collapse works in their favor.

Leftists have gotten a lot of mileage out of the January 6 kerfuffle. Imagine how they will exploit the genuine political instability that will inevitably result from their pretended attempts to control the global climate through repressive regulations that leave us shivering in the dark.

All they need is enough unrest to justify door-to-door gun confiscations. If that flies, it is game over. Off to the gulag for Moonbattery readers.

New York Utility Bills to Double

Hopefully you have excess money, because you will need cushion to withstand Democrat plans to raise the price of heating your home and keeping the lights on. This is especially true in New York, where liberals have achieved total dominance:

Next month alone, Con Ed will spike rates across the city by a staggering 9% as part of the three-year rate plan greenlighted by the state Public Service Commission Thursday.

As for those who heat their homes with gas,

A typical Con Ed customer that uses an average of 100 therms in a month will notice their bill increase a hefty $17.28 — or 8.4% — from next month, per the PSC analysis.

It’ll go up again in January by an average of $14.90 (6.7%) and then $15.61 (6.6%) the following year.

Essentially, the rate hikes mean a current monthly electricity and gas bill of $70 will now double to just over $140 come 2025.

Remember when Barack Obama said electricity prices would “necessarily skyrocket” if people like him were elected? For once he wasn’t lying.

Senator Bob Casey Applies for Ninth Circle of Hell

Dante’s Ninth Circle of Hell is dedicated to treachery. It is the deepest circle of hell, where Satan resides. The Ninth Circle might be a suitable final destination for Senator Bob Casey (D-PA), who wants to spend our money to promote communism and transsexualize children:

A pro-LGBTQIA+ center in Pennsylvania that hosted youth drag shows and promoted Young Communist League of Philadelphia events has received the support of Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., who has pushed federal funding for the group.

Throughout 2023, Casey has voiced support for additional funding for the Philadelphia-based William Way LGBT Community Center. Earlier this year, the senator requested a $1 million earmark in the FY 2024 appropriations bill for the organization.

Providing an idea of what you are expected to pick up the tab for at the William Way LGBT Community Center, Philadelphia Gay News effuses over a 2016 “youth drag show”:

Feather fans begin to cover a table. Dozens of curling irons, combs, make–up mirrors and brushes emerge on another, along with make–up and glitter in every color, and a Hello Kitty box. A bearded man in studded leather platform boots approaches and begins to apply make–up to the face of a little boy.

This is Esai, and he is 11 years old. According to his mother, Dre, he has been sneaking her heels into his bedroom since he was much younger. Dre is a drag performer herself, having produced another drag show by the name of “Fierce” — the only queer burlesque festival in the world. She also produced the first non–gender binary talent show for kids, “Twinkle.”

Despite being the poor kid’s “mother,” Dre is actually a he.

Here’s why the Ninth Circle is a good fit for Casey:

Early in his tenure, Casey identified himself as pro-life and supportive of the traditional definition of marriage.

However, like many other members of his party, the senator has drastically shifted to the left on social issues. In addition to his full-fledged support of the LGBTQ movement, Casey last year came out in support of “codifying abortion rights.” He claimed that the landmark Dobbs decision would “put women’s lives at risk.” Casey now has a consistently pro-abortion, pro-same-sex “marriage,” and pro-“trans” voting record.

Casey is the son of late Pennsylvania Governor Bob Casey Sr., a pro-life icon who was the respondent of the 1991 Supreme Court case Planned Parenthood v. Casey.

Pennsylvanians must have thought they were getting something along the lines of Bob Casey Sr. Now that the switcheroo has been pulled, they are left with an entrenched incumbent who has the liberal establishment behind him — including a deep-pocketed guest at Jeffrey Epstein’s Pedophile Island:

The Democrat tech billionaire who helped rehab Jeffrey Epstein’s image and visited his island has poured thousands in donations into several vulnerable Senate races across the country.

LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman recently gave the maximum donations of $6,600 each to the campaigns of Sens. Jon Tester, D-Mont., Jacky Rosen, D-Nev., and Bob Casey, D-Pa., according to Federal Election Commission (FEC) records.

Naturally Hoffman throws money at Creepy Joe too:

Fox News Digital also reported this week that the Biden Victory Fund, a joint fundraising committee authorized by the Biden campaign, received a whopping $699,600.00 donation from Hoffman on April 26 and a maximum donation of $6,600 went directly to Biden’s campaign.

In addition to the maximum allowable amount directly to Biden’s 2020 campaign, Hoffman gave $1.5 million to a super PAC supporting it. Biden attended a fundraiser hosted by Hoffman in June.

According to White House visitor logs, Hoffman visited the White House five times last year.

Hoffmann does look a little like someone who would rape children and fund Democrats:

Translation:

LinkedIn cofounder Reid Hoffman went to Jeffery Epstein’s island AFTER his CHILD PROSTITUTION CONVICTION and just became one of the biggest donors to Joe Biden’s 2024 campaign. These are the pedophiles attacking the movie Sound of Freedom.

True enough; the liberal establishment has even employed an open advocate of pedophilia to attack Sound of Freedom.

As noted earlier, ruling class rot goes to the core.

Why They Don’t Want You to Watch Sound of Freedom

Sound of Freedom exposes other movies that have come out over the past several decades as popcorn by comparison. Cultural gatekeepers are willing to make fools of themselves to trash it. They want us to watch woke vacuous crap like Barbie instead.

In part, this is because the Powers That Be want a public shallow and stupid enough to consent to their rule.

In part, it is because the producers of Sound of Freedom proved that you can make a great movie by circumventing Hollywood. It may be the only way to make one.

Mainly, it is because Sound of Freedom forcefully brings home the reality of the struggle between good and evil. The liberal establishment opposes this, because evil flourishes in the darkness. That’s why Bloomberg published an attack piece written by an actual child rape advocate.

Presenting America’s ruling party:

Stacie Marie Laughton is America’s Historic First Transgender-Identifying Former State Lawmaker to Be Arrested for Distributing Child Pornography. He was presumably put in power specifically for embodying the ideology of the ruling class, which has increasingly focused on promoting sexual perversion. This outweighed already being a convicted felon when he was elected.

Chilling details have emerged on how Laughton acquired child porn with the help of an accomplice working at a daycare center:

Laughton, 39, of Nashua, N.H., was referred to as “PERSON 1” in the federal criminal complaint against Lindsay Groves, 38, of Hudson, N.H., who was charged last month with taking pornographic images of children at the Creative Minds daycare in Tyngsboro, where she worked.

“I want to do this with you with one of my kids,” Groves allegedly texted her former romantic partner — who has now been identified as Laughton following Tuesday’s federal complaint filing — the afternoon of June 14 alongside a picture of a prepubescent boy with a focus on his genitals. “I took that picture a couple minutes ago.”

Laughton allegedly responded to that text with “I also need to be honest I mean yes that picture was hot of that little boy but you probably have gotten the picture by now that I prefer little girls (sic), but he is cute,” and allegedly requested that Groves to touch the little boy inappropriately. …

The feds say the messages included at least four sexually explicit images of children appearing to be between 3 and 5 years old, and lots of sex chatter about hooking up with each other and others, including children.

We can only assume that he was elected to the state legislature for the same reason the conspicuously incompetent Pete Buttigieg is the Secretary of Transportation: out of reverence for his warped sexual proclivities. Voters didn’t know just how warped, but they did know that no one should be judged for whom they love.

If it feels good, do it — right? Or maybe liberals have a deeper moral creed that I am unaware of. Let’s ask James Gordon Meek, a former ABC News producer who was nominated for an Emmy five times as a reporter. Someone that well entrenched in the liberal establishment ought to be able to help us:

According to the DOJ, Meek was visiting South Carolina in February 2020 from his home in Virginia when he sent and received disturbing images and videos that depicted minors engaged in sexual activity with adults.

He allegedly discussed in detail his sexual interests in children during conversations on a smart phone while using a chat application.

Files found on the phone reportedly included images and videos of prepubescent children and at least one file that depicted an infant being raped.

You could call this anecdotal — or you could call it symptomatic.

It isn’t just academia, Hollywood, and the upper echelon liberal elitists who visited Jeffrey Epstein’s Pedophile Island. The degenerate ruling class is rotten to the core. This rot is the perfect soil for evil to grow.

Where else would progressives progress to next after transsexualizing children if not to raping them? By shining a klieg light on this issue and providing moral clarity, Sound of Freedom impedes the agenda.

NPR: It Is Racist to Know They Want Us to Eat Bugs

By now most of us know that our globalist moonbat ruling class wants to make us to eat insects in order to degrade and humiliate us — or rather, because The Climate.

While they gorge on meat, they tell us to eat larvae, mealworms, beetleburgers, and maggot butter, and to wash it down with cockroach milk.

The EU has approved sneaking powdered insects into food. Canada has built a massive cricket farm.

They tell us eating bugs will control the cost of living. Kids are taught to eat them.

British subjects pay to make African children eat bugs — and even their own children. The Dutch make their kids eat bugs too.

The only qualm liberals have about making us eat insects is that it oppresses the insects. Never mind the parasitical infections that can result.

Yet even as one repugnant coercively financed leftist propaganda platform applies pressure to make us accept eating bugs, another gaslights by sneering that this thoroughly documented agenda item is not only a conspiracy theory, but racist even to entertain. Actual headline from NPR:

This Right Wing Conspiracy Theory About Eating Bugs Is About As Racist As You Think

“Racist” in this context means verboten to discuss.

The media establishment has dug itself so far into self-parody that nothing it asserts will be taken at face value by serious people. Yet the liberals who get the slogans and talking points that serve them as thoughts from NPR are so hermetically sealed inside their smug bubble of pretentious idiocy that they cannot even hear us laughing at them.

NPR rebutted.

Carlee Russell Joins Hate Hoax List

Thanks to the eager gullibility of the liberal media, a hate hoax doesn’t have to pass the laugh test to fly — at least for a little while. Consider Carlee Russell:

She went missing on July 13 for two days, after what was revealed by police as a calm phone call to 911, about an unaccompanied male toddler on the side of the I-459 interstate. …

At 9.34pm, over an hour after she departed from work, footage shows her slowing down while flashing her hazards near the 11 mile marker on the interstate.

She then called 911 and told them there was ‘a male toddler wearing a diaper’ walking on the side of the interstate.

She proceeded to call her brother’s girlfriend who heard Ms Russell ask the ‘toddler’: ‘Are you okay?’, shortly after she screamed before the phone call ended.

Just like that, Miss Russell vanished. When she reappeared, she claimed to have been kidnapped:

In an interview with Hoover police, she said a man with orange hair came from the trees to check on the crying toddler, but then grabbed her, dragged her over the fence and into a car.

All white people are racist and bad, but those gingers are the worst.

No one else saw the toddler strolling for 600 yards along the busy interstate because evidently there was no toddler. Media hype could not keep the hoax from disintegrating. She appears to have lifted the plot for it from the movie Taken, which she had googled along with “amber alert,” “one way bus ticket from Birmingham to Nashville,” and “how to take money from a register without being caught” shortly before attempting to pull it off. Allegedly, she stole materials from her job at the Woodhouse Spa in Birmingham.

Carlee has clammed up around the police. Lawyers would approve, since she might be charged with theft, lying to authorities, and filing a false police report.

Fortunately, there was no specific victim of her hoax. However, we can’t rule out that if some red-headed guy had been picked up by police, she would have been willing to point a finger. Innocent people have their lives destroyed by hate hoaxes, as Duke lacrosse players can confirm. Deuteronomy 19:16–19 comes to mind:

If a malicious witness rises up against a man to accuse him of wrongdoing, then both the men who have the dispute shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges who will be in office in those days. The judges shall investigate thoroughly, and if the witness is a false witness and he has accused his brother falsely, then you shall do to him just as he had intended to do to his brother. Thus you shall purge the evil from among you.

Something to be considered for future hoaxes. In the meantime, let’s hear Miss Smollett’s I mean Miss Russell’s side of the story (LANGUAGE ALERT):

Fox News Will Match Donations to Satanic Temple

It is the least awful pillar of the liberal establishment media, but when it comes to making money from countermoonbats and spending it to advance moonbattery, Fox News may top even Chick-fil-A.

The Blaze shares revelations passed along by whistleblowers within Fox News:

“Fox Giving” is an app in the company portal that facilitates charitable donations via the Canadian-based donation management platform Benevity. Fox will apparently match donations up to $1,000 to various organizations that satisfy the company’s criteria.

These criteria are plenty inclusive where malevolent moonbats are concerned.

[T]he company is willing to match donations to the Satanic Temple, the Trevor Project, Planned Parenthood (and local Planned Parenthood branches), and the Southern Poverty Law Center – radical leftist groups antipathetic to conservatives and the values they hold most dear.

Although the Satanic Temple does not exceed the level of evil of the other three, it isn’t for want of trying:

The Satanic Temple is an atheistic leftist organization that has distributed satanic literature to children; publicly performed “unbaptisms”; sought to ensure that women can legally have their unborn children killed by way of their “religious abortion ritual”; and erected statues of Baphomet on government property.

The Trevor Project pushes the demonic transsexual agenda, including sex-change mutilation for children.

Southern Poverty Law Center generates propaganda smearing anyone to the right of all the way left as an “extremist,” a “racist,” et cetera. Its “hate map” inspired an attempted mass murder at the offices of the Family Research Council.

Planned Parenthood has left the Third Reich behind in terms of genocide, having exterminated nearly 9 million babies since 1970, and has branched out into transsexualizing children.

More conspicuously pernicious organizations would be difficult to imagine. All qualify for matching donations from Fox News.

An insider provides context:

“It shows complete disregard and hatred for Fox’s core audience, which is a huge part of the country. They watch believing Fox is speaking for them, when in reality it’s a company participating in certain things that don’t match their audience’s values. [The disdain] is driven more by executives, lawyers, and HR than people realize, especially post-Dominion,” said the former producer, referencing the company’s $787.5 million settlement with Dominion Voting Services earlier this year.

That settlement was soon followed by the firing of Tucker Carlson, whose scalp liberals had been after for years. Since then, the alarmingly left-wing corporate culture at Fox News has been coming to light.

Tiktok’s NPC Trend

The latest contribution of social media to societal decay is the bizarre NPC TikTok trend…

…where users livestream themselves acting like an “NPC”—or an automated “non-player character” with pre-written dialogue—complete with nonsensical phrases like “ice cream so good” used in response to gifts given by their audience…

The “users” are essentially online prostitutes. Paul Joseph Watson describes the phenomenon as “PG porn, the TikTok to OnlyFans pipeline. … They’re just pushing preporn on preteens, again.”

For the morbidly curious, he documents another chapter in our civilizational decline into degenerate idiot insanity:

Amendment to Reinstate Vax-Resisting Pilots Killed

A severe pilot shortage has been aggravating airline delays. About 18,100 open pilot positions are expected in the years ahead. Our rulers could undo some of their own damage by reinstating pilots who were forced out for not risking their health to comply with tyrannical vaccine mandates. Problem is, they couldn’t get the no-brainer through Congress:

The amendment to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reauthorization bill, introduced by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., and offered on the floor by Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill., failed 141-298 after 83 Republicans voted with Democrats against it.

Once again, the Evil Party manages to be even worse than the Stupid Party:

Only one House Democrat, Rep. Jared Golden, D-Maine, voted for the measure.

Nearly all major U.S. airlines implemented vaccine mandates during the coronavirus pandemic in accordance with President Biden’s 2021 executive order requiring federal contractors to get the shots.

Democrats will characteristically count the misery they inflict as success. According to their dogma, when little people have access to air travel, it angers the climate gods. Even if airlines can’t keep planes in the sky, John Kerry et al. will still have their private jets.

Now that the MTG’s amendment has been killed, the Biden Regime supports the bill…

…although the White House on Monday raised several concerns about raising the pilot retirement age…

The retirement age is to be raised from 65 to 67 to mitigate the pilot shortage. “Not a joke,” as a conspicuously senile and decrepit 80-year-old who is running for reelection would say.

New York City Will Pay $13 Million to BLM Rioters

Democrats are following through on their promise to fundamentally transform America. They do this by punishing good behavior and rewarding bad behavior, including some of the very worst — even rioting:

New York City has agreed to pay more than $13 million to settle a civil rights lawsuit brought on behalf of roughly 1,300 people who were arrested or beaten by police during racial injustice demonstrations that swept through the city during the summer of 2020.

By “demonstrations,” the AP means riots; otherwise, the arrests would not have been necessary. Rioters being “beaten” means they resisted arrest so some degree of force was required to temporarily stop them from stealing and vandalizing in honor of the career criminal George Floyd.

With certain exceptions, people arrested or subjected to force by NYPD officers at those events will each be eligible for $9,950 in compensation, according to attorneys for the plaintiffs.

Not bad pay for breaking a few windows, stealing a TV set, and maybe setting fire to someone’s livelihood.

Needless to say, the next time the liberal establishment finds it expedient to seize on a preposterous pretext like Floyd’s fentanyl overdose to whip up the Democrat base into mass rioting, there will be even less effort to contain the mayhem.

The agreement, one of several stemming from the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests, allows the city to avoid a trial that could be both expensive and politically fraught.

That is, the media would have exploited the trial to glorify criminals and demonize those who do not want to pay them even more.

[A]ttorneys for the city maintained that police were responding to a chaotic and unprecedented situation, pointing to some unruly protests in which police vehicles were set on fire and officers pelted with rocks…

Sorry, racist oppressors. Unlike disputing leftist ideology on social media, throwing rocks at you and setting your vehicles on fire fall under the liberal conception of free speech. Seriously, moonbats are citing the First Amendment to justify a second wave of Black Lives Matter looting.

[M]any other cities across the U.S. are negotiating their own settlements with protesters who spilled into the streets to decry [law & order] after Floyd’s death…

For example, Philthadelphia has already shelled out $9.25 million to race rioters.

The money is expropriated from the same law-abiding citizens the rioters victimize. In Liberalese, this is called “justice.”

Sneers Wylie Stecklow, skeevy shyster for the rioters in New York,

“While the arc of the moral universe is indeed long, sometimes it needs reform to bend towards justice.”

It won’t take much more “reform” before American cities are indistinguishable from Mogadishu.
