Ivanpah: $2.2 Billion Up in Green Smoke

Posted on by

Democrats have wasted a staggering amount of other people’s money in the name of the global warming hoax. Consider California’s Ivanpah Solar Power Facility:

The solar power plant, which features three 459-foot towers and thousands of computer-controlled mirrors known as heliostats, cost some $2.2 billion to build.

Construction began in 2010 and was completed in 2014. Now it’s set to close in 2026 after failing to efficiently generate solar energy.

Guess who picks up the tab?

In 2011, the US Department of Energy under President Barack Obama issued $1.6 billion in three federal loan guarantees for the project…

The extravagantly expensive green energy gesture relied on natural gas to stay operational as long as it did. The boondoggle presumably served mainly to launder taxpayer money for Democrat donors — an Obama specialty. As noted previously, it incinerated birds in flight by the thousands each year, no doubt including eagles.

Observes Steven Milloy, senior fellow at the Energy & Environmental Legal Institute:

“No green project relying on taxpayer subsidies has ever made any economic or environmental sense.”

But at least the climate will know that moonbats meant well.

Proclaiming Palestinian Statehood Could Cost UK £2 Trillion

Posted on by

Rewarding the terror atrocities of 10/7 by proclaiming effective statehood for Hamas could cost Britons bigly:

[L]egal experts have warned that … the new country would ask for eye-watering damages in compensation for land ‘taken from the Palestinian people’ when Britain relinquished control of the region after the Second World War.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, who has a long history of threatening to sue Britain, is demanding ‘reparations in accordance with international law’ based on the value of the land which was under British rule between 1917 and 1948.

Some international law experts have described £2 trillion, roughly the size of Britain’s total economy, as a ‘good place to start’.

The British have no one to blame but themselves for the consequences if they fail to scrape off their moonbat rulers.

Trump Schools United Nations on Green Economics

Posted on by

The moonbats at the United Nations ought to be friendlier toward Trump, considering that he was kindly enough to provide them a valuable lesson in the economics of the global warming hoax:

Truer words were never spoken:

“The primary effect of these brutal green energy policies has not been to help the environment but to redistribute manufacturing and industrial activity from developed countries that follow the insane rules that are put down to polluting countries that break the rules and are making a fortune.”

The result is not only stratospheric energy prices and depressed economies in Europe but an increase in supposedly harmful greenhouse gases globally.

Cold kills a lot more people than heat. But heat would kill even fewer if global warming hoaxsters would stop driving up the cost of air conditioning with their nonsensical policies.

Not Much of a Red Carpet for Trump at United Nations

Posted on by

Looks like someone at the United Nations is not fond of our president:

President Donald Trump joked Tuesday the “two things” he received from the United Nations were “a bad escalator and a bad telemotor” after both malfunctioned on his visit to the General Assembly in New York.

The escalator is symbolic, given that Trump’s political career famously started with a descent down the iconic golden escalator at Trump Tower in 2015.

After contending he received no help from the United Nations in brokering peace deals, Trump highlighted the U.N.’s broken escalator, which malfunctioned while he and the first lady were taking it, and the failing telemotor at the start of his speech.

UN staff announced in advance that they would pull the childish stunt with the escalator per Greg Kelly:

Quite the knee-slapper:

“To mark Trump’s arrival, UN staff members have joked that they may turn off the escalators and elevators and simply tell him they ran out of money so he has to walk up the stairs.”

Not yet, these hostile parasites haven’t run out of money. But progress has been made in that direction:

The UN has announced it will need to cut $500m from their 2026 budget and will lay off 20% of its staff as it struggles to cope with a massive reduction in funding by the Trump administration. Trump has eliminated at least $1 billion in total funding from the UN. …

The UN is now looking for alternative funding for their operations, though, it is unlikely they will be able to fill the void left by US cuts. Most countries have no interest in paying more; the reliance has been entirely on Americans for generations.

Biting the hand that unfortunately still feeds is not a bright idea.

The malevolent children at the UN are to be thanked for saving US taxpayers money if they succeed in motivating Trump to cut the funding further still.

Even better would be if he has the UN building bulldozed into the East River while full of globalist moonbattocrats.

Somali First, Muslim Second, American Never

In case anyone didn’t get it yet that the anti-American Ilhan Omar represents not Americans but Somalis in the US House of Representatives, this video shows her confirming it again last year:

Key quotes:

“We, as Somalians … are Somalians first, Muslims second…”

“I am here to protect the interests of Somalia from inside the US system.”

If she violated her oath of allegiance on becoming a US representative, she should be kicked out of Congress. If she violated her oath of allegiance on becoming a citizen, she should be kicked out of the country. I hear the weather in her homeland is lovely this time of year.

“Somalia is for Somalis only,” proclaims Omar. Too bad she doesn’t feel the same way about America.

It should come as no surprise that she hates the memory of Charlie Kirk. The Somali regime she serves persecutes Christians.

Liberal Denounces Erika Kirk

Posted on by

Erika Kirk has accepted Charlie Kirk’s mantle. No one who saw her in Glendale Sunday could fail to revere her — that is, no one except moonbats:

This occurred during Turning Point USA’s first campus event since the assassination. It took place at the University of Minnesota yesterday and featured Michael Knowles — who the creep with the megaphone also denounced, as abortion worshipers stood by in their Handmaid’s Tale outfits:

“Michael Knowles has got to go” takes on ominous implications, given liberals’ embrace of political violence. In 2023, a policewoman was seriously injured by an explosive device thrown by a moonbat who didn’t want Knowles speaking on campus at University of Pittsburgh.

Kamala Harris Calls Trump a Communist Dictator

Posted on by

Liberals so hate their own country that they wanted to make this absurd cretin President of the United States:

Kamala Harris literally called Donald Trump a communist dictator. Announcing that he is a leprechaun from the planet Trinitron would be hardly more ridiculous.

Even her audience at MSNBC knows that on the political spectrum, Trump is far away to the right from where Democrats squat near communist dictators on the left. They are probably wondering what is so bad about communist dictators. Trump is a fascist dictator, according to the talking points.

Kamala may have had a few too many before the show.
