Now the RNC and Trump on the other hand,,,,
The Trump campaign and RNC have pulled in a combined $210 million since the start of 2019, FEC records showed. That’s more than all the current Democrats seeking to replace Trump raised combined during that period.
” The Republican National Committee (RNC) is expected to announce this week that it raised a record-setting $23.5 million in August and had $53.8 million cash on hand as of the end of that month”

Remember hat link this morning about all the eco-kids stressing out over the end of the world due to climate change and developing severe anxiety disorders? Well, their parents should have listened to the UN Climate Change Chief. He says to the parents to take a chill pill, relax, roll in the sack and make babies.
“Climate change may well be a problem, but the chief of the United Nations’ agency on climate says it won’t destroy the world – and shouldn’t stop young people from having children. Alarmist rhetoric from “doomsters and extremists” that babies will destroy the planet “resembles religious extremism” and “will only add to [young women’s] burden” by “provoking anxiety,” he said……
“Man-made climate change, Taalas says, “is not going to be the end of the world. The world is just becoming more challenging. In parts of the globe living conditions are becoming worse, but people have survived in harsh conditions.”
“The real threat today, he says, is from misguided environmental extremism, which demands the world make radical changes to their economic – and personal – lives or become complicit in genocide.
“While climate skepticism has become less of an issue, now we are being challenged from the other side,” Taalas says. “They are doomsters and extremists; they make threats.”
“As an example of extreme proposals, Taalas says they “demand zero [carbon] emissions by 2025.”
“And their faith rivals that of the most convinced religious zealot, Talaas tells Finland’s financial newspaper Talouselämä (which translates to “economic life”) on September 6. (While much of the article is behind a paywall, English translations have crept into the U.S. media.)
“The IPCC [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] reports have been read in a similar way to the Bible: you try to find certain pieces or sections from which you try to justify your extreme views. This resembles religious extremism,” Taalas says.
This polarized environment negatively impacts young people’s mental health – especially for women who want to have children.
“The atmosphere created by the media has been provoking anxiety. The latest idea is that children are a negative thing. I am worried for young mothers, who are already under much pressure. This will only add to their burden.”
