Scottish Wind Farms Paid Not to Generate Energy

Not since Karl Marx has anyone committed such violence to economic sanity as the moonbats who push green energy on behalf of their weather gods.

Via Scottish Daily Express:

Scottish wind farms were paid £347m to switch off and not generate power this year – with the cost being added to electricity bills.

Wind farms do not generate power on a reliable basis, so charging for the energy they do not produce makes sense in a psychotic kind of way.

Across the UK, a huge £1.45bn was handed to wind farm developers and for turbines to remain idle.

Nice business, for those with a seat at Big Government’s table.

The SNP [Scottish National Party] Government wants to see thousands more turbines in order to hit its net zero goal but these will likely cost millions more and also blight the countryside.

But think of how much revenue can be raised by charging people for the energy they do not generate.

At times of high wind, the grid gets too congested and can’t transport power from remote areas in Scotland to where it is needed most.

That’s when bill-payers are charged for the turbines to shut down.

To keep the lights on in those areas grid operators must call on gas plants to step in to power up Britain, often at great expense. Nuclear power is also utilised but the SNP are campaigning against this, blocking plans to build new plants in Scotland despite the huge economic benefit.

Nuclear is no good because it is reliable and efficient, which makes it offensive to moonbats.

Scotland is located on the North Sea, beneath which lies an ocean of oil. But oil is also haram in the moonbat religion. So the North Sea is littered for miles off the coast with hideous wind turbines that chop up birds — for the sake of the environment.

Ultimate Outrage: Site of World Trade Center Lit Green to Celebrate Islam

Will the Islamo-Marxist Zohran Mamdani be able to pull the entire state of New York down the toilet? With Kathy Hochul in office, the answer may be yes.

From the governor’s office yesterday:

Governor Kathy Hochul today issued the first ever proclamation declaring January as Muslim American Heritage Month across New York State. Governor Hochul further directed 16 state landmarks to be illuminated green this evening in observance this month, and in celebration of the heritage and culture of Muslim Americans.

Too bad she can’t light up the World Trade Center in Islamic green. Muslims destroyed it, while it was full of Americans.

To help Muslims celebrate this victory, the first landmark listed is One World Trade Center, where the twin towers once stood. The depth of treason entailed is incomprehensible.

Don’t be surprised if you see Hochul posing in Islam garb like Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan in Minnesota. The equivalent would be dressing up like a geisha after Pearl Harbor.

As for the Marxist part of Islamo-Marxist, we’ll see if Hochul stands firm on her commitment not to jack taxes even higher as Mamdani demands. It doesn’t seem likely.

Trump Takes Out Marxist Dictator Maduro

As the saying goes, “You can vote your way into socialism, but you have to shoot your way out.” Luckily for Venezuelans, the USA has done the shooting for them, as this aligns with American interests.

Via Breitbart:

Trump announced Saturday morning that Venezuela’s socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores have been “captured and flown out of the country”, a message that came after a series of explosions hit Caracas.

Stand by for further details.

Maduro, who has maintained himself in power through a series of sham presidential elections, is actively wanted by U.S. authorities on multiple narco-terrorism charges. The U.S. has an active $50 million bounty on information leading to Nicolás Maduro’s arrest and/or conviction.

The Monroe Doctrine is back in force. The Marxist dictator Maduro not only has been smuggling in deadly drugs to poison our country but has provided a potential base of operations for hostile powers from the other side of the world, including China, Iran, Russia, and Muslim terrorists.

Watch out for flying skull fragments as liberal heads explode. Democrat calls for impeachment will soon follow.

Mainstream Media Responds to Nick Shirley

Nick Shirley ate the establishment media’s lunch by blowing the lid off the multi-$billion Somali fraud scandal that conflicts with its leftist narrative. No longer able to keep the story hidden, mainstream journalists have been forced to respond.

CNN’s Whitney Wilde tried her hand at investigative journalism by calling Somali daycare centers to ask whether they are fraudulent. Only one of them answered the phone, but that one told Whitney it is not fraudulent. Good enough for CNN, which implies that Shirley made the whole thing up. For evidence, they present Somalis dragging children into an exposed phony daycare center for the sake of their cameras.

Seriously, the liberal establishment passes this off as journalism:

Not all MSM responses have been as humorous. In the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk assassination, Josh Gerstein of Politico suggests that violence might be employed to shut up independent journalists like Shirley:

Other moonbats agree that it is time to “be mean” to Shirley:

Given the current mindset of liberals, no one should be surprised that Shirley has received death threats for exposing Somali fraud. Via Fox News:

Shirley described the threats during a Dec. 31 appearance on the PBD Podcast, and said he was warned he would be “Kirked,” a reference to the September assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

No wonder hardly anyone does real journalism anymore. It is dangerous work if liberals don’t like what you find.

$5 Million Apiece Handout for Blacks in San Francisco

The year is off to a great start in San Francisco for those lucky enough to belong to the most privileged and entitled racial group. For the rest of us, not so much.

The New York Post reports:

Mayor Daniel Lurie quietly signed a questionable bill to create a reparations fund for black residents — but acknowledged the city is too broke to pay…

San Fransicko’s deficit is approaching $1 billion. This illustrates why federal taxpayers will be forced to finance California moonbattery if Democrats regain control in DC. Not that “reparations” will be limited to the Land of Fruits and Nuts if that disaster befalls us.

The bill, which was passed unanimously by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors earlier this month, creates a fund to accept private or public money for a controversial reparations plan that calls for cash payouts of $5 million each to eligible black residents, debt forgiveness, 250 years of tax abatements, and income subsidies.

To the chagrin of liberals,

Racial preferences in government programs are banned under the constitution, according to Andrew Quinio, attorney at the Pacific Legal Foundation.

No worries. Democrat control will mean packing the Supreme Court with moonbat apparatchiks like Ketanji Brown Jackson, rendering the US Constitution null and void.

Alternate Anthem Now Applies as Marxists Take New York City

Cultural Marxism calls for destroying America by dividing it against itself. Because our national anthem serves to unify, leftists present us with alternate anthems than do not pertain to all Americans.

This year, the NFL will once again emphasize its toxic left-wing agenda by staging a performance of the Black National Anthem at the Super Bowl. New York City has dropped the “cultural” to push straightforward Marxism.

From the Dallas Express via Yahoo News:

The labor song Bread and Roses was sung ahead of the swearing-in ceremony for New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani on January 1.

By “labor,” they mean “communist.”

Mamdani’s fellow commies Bernie Sanders and AOC joined him at the appalling event, at which he made his Marxist intentions abundantly clear, proclaiming:

“We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.”

Back in the FDR days, communists like Alger Hiss were furtive. No longer:

For details on what “the warmth of collectivism” means in actual practice, refer to Alexandr Solzhenitsyn’s Gulag Archipelago.

Rugged individualism has characterized America from the beginning. You might say it is what the US flag stands for. No wonder moonbats are prone to burning Old Glory.

Mamdani affirmed that he will govern as a “democratic socialist” (i.e., communist) and promised not to “abandon my principles for fear of being deemed radical.”

They may as well have performed the Internationale or the State Anthem of the Soviet Union.

Somali Looters as Victims

Somali colonists are able to pour in from their dysfunctional country and rob us of staggering amounts of money because they have the ultimate weapon to deploy against us: they are victims. Just ask one. Or ask one of their Democrat enablers.

When their industrial scale childcare fraud was exposed by Nick Shirley despite the best efforts of Tim Walz and the liberal media to suppress the story, a burglary was staged in which records were conveniently stolen.

Via PJ Media:

Just as the heat turns up on massive daycare fraud in Minnesota, a Somali-run daycare in Minneapolis claims that someone conveniently broke in during the early morning hours, smashed up a wall, and walked off with the one thing investigators would care about most: records on employees and children. Not cash. Not electronics. “Important documentation.”

The manager, Nasrulah Mohamed, claims the Nokomis Day Care Center was hit sometime between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m., with a damaged door, interior vandalism, and missing files on kids and staff.

You can guess who was victimized by this — the Somalis:

Thanks to Shirley, Somalis have been forced to proclaim that fraud is bad. This only adds to the trauma they suffer:

Walz reminds us that we are bad people if we “demonize” the looters he allowed to rob Americans blind:

Tampon Tim has effectively spent $billions of our money buying the bloc vote of Somali colonists. He is not about to risk alienating them now.

Democrat authorities are also eager to side with foreign colonists against Americans in Washington State, another nexus of Somali fraud. To prevent more independent journalists like Shirley from looking into this, Attorney General Nick Brown even encourages his fellow moonbats to call the police on those who “harass” (i.e., report on) phony Somali childcare operations. Because Somalis are always the victims.
