As the Democrats running California continue to wage the progressive War on Energy, the rolling blackouts associated with Gavin Newsom’s rule will become more frequent, because no amount of other people’s money will make wind and solar reliable. At least they have a backup plan. Too bad it is insane:

California’s largest electric utility PG&E wants to suck the batteries of electric-vehicle owners plugged into charging stations to stabilize the grid during unstable periods. The Ford F-150 already allows for bidirectional charging, but that was sold as a benefit to the owner as a kind of independent generator for households during blackouts. PG&E wants to use it to commandeer all EV batteries and use their power to prevent grid collapse.

Bidirectional charging functionality will add an estimated $3,700 to the already excessive cost of EVs, as well as shorten their lifespan. No worries; the government can just provide more subsidies.

This will not be voluntarily:

Lawmakers in Sacramento are helping to move things along. For example, Senate Bill 233 would make bi-directional charging mandatory for all new electric vehicles.

As with Biden’s attack on gas generators, the objective is to prevent independence. We need to be completely reliant on the grid; then they can not only deny us energy but confiscate the energy we have already acquired.

Our rulers want us driving unreliable, dangerous, and combustion-prone electric vehicles because they do not want us driving any vehicles. When it all hits the fan — and it will, if Democrats get any more entrenched — they will need to deprive us of transportation to prevent organized resistance.

Newsom has signed an executive order banning non-electric vehicles by 2035.

“It is easier to resist at the beginning than at the end,” said Leonardo da Vinci. We will soon be past the easy part.

The communist Chinese won’t be sitting on their hands for long. Antony Blinken already gave them a green light to conquer our crucial ally Taiwan. It’s not as if this guy is going to stop them:

Major Rachel is not aberration, but the personification of a concentrated effort to farcify the US military into an institution befitting liberal rule.

Via Townhall:

The U.S. Army published a story about Major Rachel Jones who claims to be a transgender woman that has recently come out and is now “living authentically.”

“Authentic” is Liberalese for indisputably artificial, as when a man pretends to be a woman.

Jones is the U.S. Army Sustainment Command Cyber Division chief, G6 (Information Management), who “struggled with depression and suicidal ideation for most of her [sic] life. Today, she [sic] is living her truth [sic] and is no longer battling depression or suicidal thoughts.”

The fact that they are mentally ill by definition is among the excellent reasons the military used to ban transsexuals. Now, the Pentagon goes out of its way to recruit from the militarily unsuitable LGBT community.

The other major emphasis of our military is to avoid using fossil fuels, because according to Democrat doctrine, they are offensive to the climate. Consequently,

The Army’s 25th Infantry Division will run field tests of a multi-ton wheeled battery pack—one that can tote a machine gun—sometime after early 2025, as part of the service’s sweeping plans to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels.

Electric vehicles are not reliable enough for civilian use. Imagine being stuck with them in combat. But at least the imaginary climate gods will smile upon us.

We are not going to win any wars with Democrats in charge. Our enemies know this and are planning accordingly.

Lest you think there is any chance of the USA prevailing in the inevitable war with China under Democrat rule, consider that Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm is pushing for an all-EV military:

Granholm said that she supports electrifying the Department of Defense’s (DOD) non-tactical vehicle fleet by 2030, during an exchange with Republican Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa, at a Wednesday hearing of the Senate Armed Services Committee.

Under Democrat control, the Pentagon is not worried about defeating communists. Its objectives are to promote homosexuality and antiwhite race hate and to pretend to control the weather:

The U.S. Army is currently committed to electrifying its light-duty non-tactical vehicle fleet by 2027, with hybrids bridging the gap to full electrification by 2035, according to the Army’s 2022 Climate Strategy. The Army is also seeking to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 50% from 2005 levels by 2030, and hit net-zero emissions by 2050.

At last a use will be found for the vast numbers of EV charging stations Biden has inflated our currency to install. Currently they may serve largely as hangouts for bums, but after the ChiComs invade, our armed forces can use them to keep vehicles charged while retreating.

The outlandishly expensive, unreliable, far from durable, combustion-prone batteries that help make electric vehicles economically absurd depend heavily on materials from China:

China owns many of the rare minerals needed to produce EV batteries. Moving the United States armed services to an all-EV fleet is tantamount to making the military dependent on China. China occupies a bottleneck position when it comes to the minerals needed for EV batteries.

Let’s hope the ChiComs don’t think to cut off our supply after Biden et al. weakness-signal their way into WWIII.

See liberal child-rearing in action as woke parents subject children to the disgusting culture of our degenerate overlords:

The Blaze reports:

BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales exposed a family-friendly bingo and drag show in Princeton, Texas. Video recorded by Gonzales shows children scooping up tip money for the drag show performers.

Princeton TX Diverse presented a “Beauty and the Bingo” drag show at the Steve & Judy Deffibaugh Community Center on Saturday afternoon. …

Princeton TX Diverse is an organization that believes “everyone is welcome here, no matter their age…”

Our current society may be most remembered for the public targeting of children by perverted weirdos dressed as hypersexualized parodies of women. Recent examples from Texas:

In December, an “all-ages” event titled “The Island of Misfit Toys Drive & Drag Show” was held in San Antonio. The show included a screening of the Christmas classic “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.”

In November, a bookstore in Denton hosted a “transgender storytime” for children. BlazeTV personality Alex Stein mocked Antifa members who were guarding the event.

In June, a Texas gay bar hosted a “Drag the Kids to Pride” event where drag queen dancers provocatively gyrated in front of children as young as toddlers. The promoters labeled the event as the “ultimate family-friendly pride experience.”

Imagine what must be going on in the liberal havens of the Left Coast and Northeast, where no one would think to complain.

“That right there is our future,” crows the bearded drag queen as he watches little kids pick up money from the floor on his behalf. If we are going to let this be our future, maybe it is for the best if the reckless morons running our government manage to corner Russia into nuclear war.

Another use has been found for the thousands of electric vehicle charging stations that have been established at taxpayer expense because our rulers have decided for inscrutable reasons that the weather gods want us to drive dangerous, expensive, and unreliable electric cars. In the decaying remnants of moonbattery-addled Los Angeles, they have become homeless encampments:

The Daily Mail has some numbers:

More than 69,000 homeless people currently live in the city.

Last year, Los Angeles had 62,851 registered electric vehicles, with city officials projecting even more in 2022. California as a whole had 563,070 registered EVs in 2021, more than 100,000 more compared to the year before.

The boom has meant that charging stations have popped up throughout the city, with about 4,296 public stations installed so far, according to PlugShare.com.

And even more are expected to spring up after the state approved a ban on the sale of new gas cars by 2035, demonstrating a commitment to electric vehicles.

Too bad it takes so long for an EV to charge. Standing around in a homeless encampment is not likely to be pleasant — or safe, especially in a state with such restrictive gun laws that criminals have law-abiding citizens outgunned.

It is increasingly clear why EVs have to be not only heavily subsidized but mandated by Big Government to get people to drive them. What is less clear is why our rulers are pushing them. It certainly is not out of concern for the environment. Most likely the actual objective is to end individual transportation.

On tips from Ed McAninch and ABC of the ANC.

Our rulers demand we believe that our standard of living and level of freedom must be radically reduced because according to their dogma, CO2 emissions make it be too warm outside. Meanwhile, as inflation caused by profligate government spending has us paying $5 for a dozen eggs, we read that a pork-bloated $1.7 billion spending bill, consisting overwhelmingly of waste and certain to drive up inflation still further, was flown to St Croix in the balmy Caribbean (today’s forecast: 85° and sunny), where the figurehead for the Democratic Party has been vacationing while his subjects have been suffering through record cold.

Jet flights emit massive levels of allegedly harmful CO2.

The Blaze hightlights the extravagant wastefulness that characterizes our rulers:

The Bidens departed Washington on Tuesday, and Congress delivered the bill to the White House for Biden’s signature on Wednesday. That means had Biden waited one more day before leaving, it would not have been necessary to transport the bill to the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Yet Biden was spewing this rhetoric just last month:

We see our mission to avert climate catastrophe and seize a new clean energy economy not only as an imperative for our present and future, but through the eyes of history.

The White House claims the document was delivered on a regularly scheduled commercial flight. Regardless, the optics underscore our rulers’ contempt for us and the arrogance of their demands that we sacrifice on behalf of their climate ideology.

The one consolation is that their fall, when it comes, will be hard.

With Jorge Mario Bergoglio in the Vatican, the de-Christing comes all the way from the top:

Francis used his annual Christmas greeting to the Roman Curia to again put the cardinals, bishops and priests who work in the Holy See on notice that they are by no means beyond reproach…

Francis warned Vatican bureaucrats on Thursday to beware the devil that lurks among them, saying it is an “elegant demon” that works in people who have a rigid, holier-than-thou way of living the Catholic faith. …

Francis appeared to also want to take broader aim at arch-conservatives and traditionalists who have become the pope’s biggest critics. Francis blasted their way of living the faith, insisting that being Catholic doesn’t mean following a never-changing set of dicta but is rather a “process of understanding Christ’s message that never ends, but constantly challenges us.”

“True heresy consists not only in preaching another gospel, as Saint Paul told us, but also in ceasing to translate its message into today’s languages and ways of thinking,” Francis said.

A skeptic might interpret this as meaning that true heresy is heresy against moonbattery.

Francis, who has blessed pagan statues in the Vatican Gardens, has been accused of heresy himself.

If there was ever a time to stand firm against the incremental erosion of traditional values, it is now that the increments are becoming gigantic.

‘Tis the season when moonbats try to take the Christ out of Christmas…

They try to take the Christ out of Christianity all year around. If they succeed, a vicar will look something like Michelle Bailey:

She previously departed from a Church of England parish after accusing villagers of wrecking her marriage – and then left her husband and children to live with a female lover. But she returned to the pulpit in the Church in Wales – which is part of the Anglican communion but disestablished from the Church of England.

The female lover that she denounced villagers from the pulpit for gossiping about ended up living with Bailey’s former husband and then killing herself.

Earlier this year, [Bailey] was cleared in court of assaulting another girlfriend, but remained suspended while senior clergy investigated a string of complaints about her.

This woman was allegedly left “with her right ear detached, two black eyes and a split nose in a lockdown brawl.” Bailey pled self-defense.

The vicar, 55, was said to have picked up a number of women on online dating sites and invited them round to her home, with drunken rows leading to the police being called at least twice.

Clergy traditionally oppose sinful behavior. However, this policy has been progressively liberalized.

Same-sex relationships are forbidden for Church of England clergy, but are permitted in the Church in Wales. A Church of England source said the Church in Wales had ignored warnings not to put Rev Bailey in a parish.

Bailey has now retired, but don’t rule out another comeback. At the current rate of decay, she is only slightly ahead of her time.

Moonbats can render anything nauseating by demasculinizing it — even whiskey and potentially even the US Marines.

Regarding Whiskey:

For those unable to sit through the video above:

The three-minute spot follows an older man in rural Spain as he secretly teaches himself how to apply makeup, but viewers don’t know why until the end. The man sneaks into the bathroom multiple times to perfect the practice of putting on lipstick, blush and mascara. …

When the man’s family arrives at his home for Christmas dinner, he takes his transgender grand[son] into the bathroom and puts his makeup skills to good use. The grand[son] emerges with a full face of makeup, and [his] family hugs [him] in a tear-jerking moment of love and acceptance.

…as the audience rushes toward the bathroom, hands clamped over mouths, vomit spurting from between fingers.

Regarding the Marines:

A new academic report on efforts to integrate Marine Corps boot camp recommends dropping gender-specific salutations for drill instructors, but service leaders are not convinced they want to take that step.

The service leaders are right to put up resistance. Unfortunately, those at the very top, like Lloyd Austin and Mark Milley, owe their position to being aggressive advocates of the leftist agenda.

The study’s authors suggest that dispensing with “sir” and “ma’am” in favor of the neutral “drill instructor” would help to counteract [traditional views of gender].

As the name suggests, progressivism works by increments. We didn’t get from The Waltons to people grooming their grandchildren and theatrically presenting them as transvestites at Christmas dinner in whiskey commercials overnight. Step by step, they will do to the Marines what they did to the poor kid in the J&B commercial.

Everything will be corrupted and defiled until we agree with liberals that our entire civilization deserves to be flushed down the toilet.

A library Christmas tree ban reversed after a woke grinch vented her spleen isn’t the only happy news recently. Sanity has also been restored at Virginia Tech. A patriotic young lady was punished by her soccer coach for refusing to kneel in obeisance to Black Lives Matter hooligans as they looted and vandalized her country to advance their leftist ideology. But now:

A federal judge has decided that a former Virginia Tech women’s soccer player can legally sue the team’s coach for benching her after she declined to kneel in a social justice protest. Judge Thomas Cullen for the Western District of Virginia found on December 2 that Kiersten Hening’s First Amendment rights may have been infringed by Coach Charles “Chugger” Adair for declining to participate in the demonstration at the peak of the Black Lives Matter movement.

For refusing to kneel, she was not only benched but subjected to verbal abuse from Coach Chugger. According to her lawsuit,

“Adair’s tirade was so extreme, so personally directed at Hening, and so disconnected from the game itself, that her teammates approached her afterward to comfort her and express their shock.”

Her suit asks for damages and for Adair to “undergo First Amendment training.”

It isn’t easy to stand for what’s right against liberal bullies. Kudos to Miss Hening for her courage. Best of luck to her in the trial.

What would happen if Democrats were able to impose tyranny at the level required to eradicate the 434 million firearms in civilian possession? For the answer, we turn to the authoritarian left’s favorite role model, communist China.

CNN ran this story a year ago:

Over the weekend, six people were killed and 14 injured after a knife-wielding man stabbed passersby on a pedestrian shopping street in the eastern Chinese city of Anqing.

In contravention of liberal ideology, banning guns does not ban the evil and insanity that cause people to indiscriminately murder:

With guns strictly controlled and out of reach for ordinary people, knives have become the most common weapon used in such atrocities.

Maniacs behind the Bamboo Curtain even attack schools with knives:

In April, two children were killed when a knife-wielding man entered a kindergarten in southern China. An additional 14 children and two teachers were wounded, according to state news agency Xinhua.

There are limits to the body count you can run up with a knife. The weapon used in the worst mass murder at a school in US history was not a knife — or a gun either. The killer used dynamite.

One of the most conspicuously evil mass murders in recent memory involved an attack on a Christmas parade. The weapon of choice was an SUV.

Not that you can’t kill a lot of people with a knife:

In December, another mass stabbing in a small city in northeastern Liaoning province left seven people dead and another seven injured. State media reported the 62-year-old suspect was socially withdrawn after losing his son and getting divorced, and carried out the attack to express his “dissatisfaction towards society.”

No wonder Biden et al. want to pretend the firearms that have been integral to American culture from the beginning cause mass killings. If the actual cause is “dissatisfaction towards society,” one solution would be for him and his party to go away. Under the current administration, 79% of the US population understands that America is on the wrong track.

As in the USA, the immediate cause of mass murder in China (not counting the genocidal government) is psychos on the loose:

In China, public access to mental health services remains limited, partially due to a shortage of qualified mental care professionals.

Don’t look for stories like this from CNN in the near future. The liberal establishment is in exploitation mode following the shootings in Uvalde. Democrats don’t want to hear about mental illness when they have a chance to deny law-abiding citizens their fundamental right of self-defense.

Meanwhile — as the media hysterically exploits a mass killing that unlike Waukesha fits the liberal narrative — the big story continues to unfold. That story is the death by treason of the USA.

The attack is threefold: (1) destroy our belief in our country through liberal propaganda; (2) cripple the economy through runaway inflation and insidious Marxism; and (2) displace the American population with people who do not share our culture or values, in numbers guaranteed to prevent assimilation.

Regarding #3, DHS admits that encounters with invaders across the southern border hit a new record last month — with even worse to come:

The record-setting month comes as President Joe Biden looks to end Title 42, a Trump-era policy allowing Border Patrol to turn away migrants at the border due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ending Title 42 is essentially a declaration that the USA no longer has a border. Any of the world’s 8 billion people are welcome to climb aboard the welfare gravy train; all they have to do is show up. The point is to replace the people who created this country — but we are not supposed to mention that.

Vidkun Quisling was a patriot compared to today’s Democrats. At least he arguably meant his country well, wanting to spare Norway from a war it couldn’t win with Nazi Germany. No one in their right mind could think Democrats mean America well. Just listening to their rhetoric would disabuse even the most gullible of that notion.

These numbers cannot be sustained. America is not expected to sustain them. Our country will be erased and replaced by an extension of the Third World, which Democrats will find easier to rule over.

On a tip from MrRightWingDave.

Frank James delivered a blow to the liberal narrative by shooting 10 people and injuring 19 others on a rush hour NYC subway on Tuesday.

James is a black supremacist who endorses Black Lives Matter and has been shouting on social media for years about his desire to kill white people. He proclaimed that cop-killing career criminal Lashawn McNeil was justified, being the victim of a racist society. He celebrates sociopathic black supremacists like Angela Davis, Malcolm X, and Nation of Islam leader Elijah Muhammad.

Not even Critical Race Theory adherent Ketanji Brown Jackson is enough of a black supremacist to suit James:

James yells that “blacks and whites should not even be in the same hemisphere” and pleads, “O black Jesus, please kill all the whiteys.”

The mainstream media will disappear this bombshell story as quickly as it forgot about Darrell Brooks, the black supremacist arrested for driving an SUV through a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin, running over children and grandparents, killing six and injuring over 60, apparently for the crime of being white. But in the immediate aftermath, they have to acknowledge it.

Here is how they are reporting it at CNN:

Many of the videos that James uploaded to a YouTube channel included references to violence, including at a set group of people he believed had maligned him, in addition to broad societal and racial groups that he appeared to hate. …

After talking about community violence, James says, “We need to see more mass shootings. Yeah. … We need to see more, there has to be more mass shootings to make a n***er understand. … It’s not about the shooter; it’s about the environment in which he is, he has to exist.”

That speech was a common theme throughout James’ videos, in which he repeatedly espoused hatred toward African Americans.

CNN’s evidence that this avowed black supremacist doesn’t like blacks consists of his use of the n-word, which is not pejorative when used by blacks, as listening to any random 5 seconds of rap will confirm.

Blacks appear to be the only group James does not hate. In tune with the times, he aims most of his animosity at whites. CNN makes no mention of this, despite it being the most conspicuous feature of James’s mentality.

This is because CNN, like the rest of the liberal media, shares James’s Cultural Marxist ideology and does not want the public to dwell on its inevitable consequences.

Too bad the media, the education establishment, the corporations that have shoveled money at Black Lives Matter, professional sports with its obsequious kneeling, the Biden Administration that aggressively promotes Critical Race Theory, and every other institution rotted through with moonbattery can’t be charged for abetting James.

Pumping Critical Race Theory into the public bloodstream was bound to result in violence, even beyond the hundreds of Black Lives Matter riots that we were told to regard as “mostly peaceful protests.” There will be more.

As always, Paul Joseph Watson provides better coverage than the media establishment:

On a tip from KirklesWorth.

Aside from Planned Parenthood, there is no political entity in America as violent as Black Lives Matter, so BLM activist Quintez Brown attempting a political assassination should surprise no one, even if he is a noisy gun control advocate.

The target was Louisville mayoral candidate Craig Greenberg. Via Fox News:

Quintez Brown, 21, was charged with attempted murder and four counts of wanton endangerment after he entered Greenberg’s campaign headquarters in Butchertown and fired multiple shots using a 9mm Glock handgun, police said.

Moonbats not being adept with firearms, no one was hurt.

Greenberg is a Jewish Democrat. As for his accused assailant,

Brown previously worked for the Louisville Courier Journal as an intern and an editorial columnist, according to the newspaper. …

Brown was a prominent activist during the Black Lives Matter and Defund the Police unrest following the May 2020 death of George Floyd. …

Brown was honored by the Obama Foundation’s MBK Rising initiative and was one of only a handful of students in the country to attend the inaugural national gathering of the Obama Foundation’s My Brother’s Keeper Alliance.

“I better my community for the boys that look just like me by changing the narrative around violence, masculinity, and professionalism,” Brown said in a statement still featured on the foundation’s website.

Maybe he would help change the phony liberal establishment narrative around violence, except that the media has predictably responded to the shooting the same way it did to the bloodbath in Waukesha: by ignoring it.

Barks Brown:

“Defunding the police is our first step toward dismantling everything that was rooted in slavery. Because they’re the original slave catchers. When Black people try to liberate themselves and become free, you had the police to stop them and put them back in their place. So defunding the police to me means kind of like funding our revolution by defunding our oppression.”

As if to prove him correct, police arrested him.

No worries. Brown is now out on bail, the same status Darrell Brooks enjoyed when he achieved racial justice by driving an SUV through a Christmas parade. Black Lives Matter and the Louisville Community Bail Fund reportedly posted his bail.

Why would a moonbat shoot a Democrat? Brown’s ruminations on Medium might offer an indication:

The revolutionary consciousness of the masses must understand that the struggle against the negative forces of genocide and fascism will not end at the ballot box of the ruling class. Attempting to get within one of the two major parties has caused our leaders to become co-opted with their interests shunted to the background. They have become expendable.

Communist regimes killed about 100 million of their own citizens during the ideology’s heyday in the 20th century. BLM is almost as rooted in communism as it is in racism. How would you expect BLM activists to treat people who are expendable?
