{The Hill reports (here) the Dems are getting real worried that Trump will run in 2024.  One of our readers has specialized in telling all who will listen that Trump's candidacy would be a blessing for our Left.  He should provide his fellow ideologues a great deal of comfort if he would share his reasoning with them.  gjr]

    He who shall not be named, who thinks Trump’s running would help the LIBS,, has yet to say how, and who could stand a chance, given the current downfall of everything American.
    Trump gave America prosperity and honor. Prez the puppet has decimated all that and then some.

    Bloomberg reported last week that because of high natural gas prices due to a reduced supply from the United States, Europe is “snapping up coal.” It’s cheaper now, and compared to wind and solar it’s a much more reliable source of power.
    Euroland is also starting to give up on the green energy dreams that are still alive and well in the minds of American pols in Washington, DC. Great Britain and Germany have experienced soaring energy prices at the gas pump and in electric utility costs for homes, factories and businesses. Some relief will come from natural gas that will eventually be supplied to Europe via a gas pipeline from Siberia.
    Meanwhile, the nation with three times the population of the U.S. and the world’s largest energy consumer, China, is all-in on coal. The Daily Mail reported that China’s 1,000 coal plants “make a mockery” of any promises by Beijing that China will move to renewable energy. Coal is by far the largest source of energy in China, and new plants are being built every week. This is, as the Telegraph put it, “Beijing’s dirtiest little secret.” Despite those solemn pledges for China to clean up its air, the Chinese emit three to four times more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere each year than does the US.

    Simple George, Trump is the biggest political loser in the 20th and 21st centuries losing re-election, the House and Senate in just 4 years. He’s The only one to do that. Besides he is becoming more mentally infirm and ill and delusional. He actually believes he won the popular vote by millions of votes for example.
    Hope he gets the nomination. It will be an easy win for the Dems.

    THE WEEK IN PICTURES: BRANDON FOR VEEP EDITION
    It’s obvious that if Trump runs again in 2024, he should name “Brandon” as his running mate, so rally crowds can yell “Let’s go Brandon!” This is better than shouting the vernacular version, and the media will be totally flummoxed having to explain it over and over again.

    My, that was the quickest blocked post yet. Lasted 30 seconds, lol. I went out of my way to not be a hateful but nice this morning, but must of violated some algorithm’s community standards. Boy, do those 0.5% of the folks wield a lot of power…and control. Topic was pronouns, column in the Union. Maybe I am Irredeemable.
    CONTENT DEACTIVATED – WHY?
    Sharon Delgado: This says it all for me.
    “At first, I found it difficult to adjust my words, and I had to correct myself often. Now it comes more naturally, and it helps that my dear ones are patient with me….. thought it would be helpful to share with people (like me) who are adjusting…”
    First, nice job of researching the use of pronouns and the English language. Still, your difficulty with adjusting your words should be considered the norm, not the exception. I would address the new leader of the flock as ‘Reverend’, but that’s just me. “Rev. Rohren, I enjoyed your sermon.” Stuff like that.
    The sticking point with me is when I see individuals demanding the world adjusts to fit them instead of the adjusting themselves to fit the world.
    I feel sorry for parents of younger transgenders. All that work. The parent has to go talk with the teacher, explain that their son is now their daughter, what pronouns to use and make sure everyone from teacher to classmates adjust their language and actions accordingly to the child’s (or parent’s) wishes. Same for the child going to birthday parties, sleep overs, pizza parties, etc. The parent must contact the host of the birthday parties and outings to make sure that their child is addressed by the preferred pronoun and make sure everybody is on the same page as the parents. Even if the parents have their friends over, everyone must be informed first and adjust their words and correct themselves often. So much work and stress for the parent living in fear that someone might say, “How old is your son?”
    So, I do feel some sympathy for the parents living on pins and needles trying to get the world to adjust to their child.
    Most adults do not have to go through that. Absolutely no need.“

    Priceless. So was Walt’s reply 4:57 pm.
    All of the pushback pieces are pointing in the same direction: The Woke has pushed the envelop too far and, of course, the predicate BLOW BACK middle finger.
    BLM is dropping out of favor. When the NYC chapter of BLM tried to tie the vax mandate to Jim Crow laws (77% of black people between ages 18-48 are barred from restaurants for being the dreaded unvaxed)…..well, that outcry and boycott of the establishment mostly fell on deaf ears and recently. Hmmm
    Bill Mahn has been all over my feeds. He is saying lately his own words and as often ashe can, “Fk you cancel culture. Have you lost your friggin minds? Ridiculous.” Come back to reality.
    They pushed the envelop over the edge.
    I , like everybody here, am seeing more and more Scared Woke Cows being on the receiving end for the first times in their lives and they do not like it one bit. Kill the Beast. Blood on the alter, the Woke’s blood. “Terrorism”, they cry, “we are being terrorized”
    To steal from a link moi posted here a week or so ago….paraphrase….’Each time a deeply concerned angry mom shows up at a school board meeting, they are saying in their own voice,”F
    k Joe Biden. Each time a ……”.
    Read a piece somewhere this early AM that had the opening line read something to the tune of this:
    ‘The American people are craving to ridicule the Woke’. Thirsting for it.
    Issue after issue that we have been hounded as science deniers, bigots, xenophobes (border control) gun nuts, spewers of hate speech….and lo and behold I am no longer some Nazi Fascist cult member but am sitting smack dab in the majority of the American public’s view on issue after issue, after issue. I am no longer a rebel, an insurrectionist, no longer terminally unique. Quite the blow to the ego.

    With all the evidence to the contrary the sky is falling set is ready to destroy the country –
    For weeks now, there has been virtually no other news but the energy crunch that surprised Europe in September and has since then gone on to roil every market and industry and spur fears of blackouts, astronomical utility bills, and rising food prices.
    The official version of events is that rising energy demand coincided with tight energy supply. The unofficial version has to do with Europe’s energy transition agenda and the possibility it may have rushed to it without enough long-term planning. And now, the U.S. has basically an identical agenda, focusing on boosting wind and solar power generation capacity, reduce demand for oil and gas, and encourage people to buy EVs instead of cars with internal combustion engines.
    David Blackmon wrote earlier this week for Forbes that “The energy crisis in Western Europe this summer has been brought on by premature retirements of hundreds of coal and natural gas power plants in favor of massive over-reliance on wind power and, to a lesser extent, solar.”
    He went on to note that, “Ironically, this crisis is taking place just as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and congressional Democrats attempt to ram through their massive $3.5 “budget reconciliation” bill that is in large part designed to recreate the European model in the United States.”
