Here is my take on Trump’s backing out of the Paris Accords and the response by the Left.

There is little accuracy in predicting what the Paris Accords will accomplish in terms of climate change.  Will it lower temperatures by 1.9 degrees or only 0.2 degrees a century from now.  In a century, what will the effects be? 

The reality of the situation is this: central planning vs. the free market.

Paris is central planning of the environment.  A group of European bureaucrats decide who spends how much on what technology where.

Pulling out of Paris means that the free market can create new, more efficient and cost effective technology to reduce energy consumption to save money.  That’s ultimately what will drive green technology, cost savings.  

If a semi truck gets better milage it costs less to operate and is more profitable.  FedEx has been covering the roofs of its distribution hubs with solar panels because the long term energy savings pay for themselves.

There is a lot we can do without staying in Paris.  The idea that we are either beholden to the accords or we suffer the environmental apocalypse is a false dichotomy.

What this is are Leftists who have a hardon for central planning losing their minds that America decided to go it’s own free market way. 

If there is one thing we know about economics, nothing works when it is centrally planned.  The free market isn’t perfect but it evolves out the most functional ideas over time.

It was the Soviet central planners who starved 10 million Ukrainians to death in the Holomodor.  Chinese central planners starved 50 million in the Great Leap Forward.  We’re seeing that play out again in Venezuela right now.

American farms feed this nation with less than 2% of the population working as farmers.

There are very few guarantees in politics, but if there is one about Paris, it is that central planning of the environment will fail as badly as central planning of an economy. 

That of course won’t stop the Left and their love of central planning.   They will once again explain how their idea was right it just wasn’t implemented correctly and next time will be better.

This whole kerfuffle has nothing to to with the environment and everything with the central planners no longer being able to include America in their (doomed) plans.

All the screaming you hear is the anguish of petty tyrants having a plaything ripped from their hands.

The bartender, George Lynch, began complaining about the anti-war movement that had taken flight across the country.For a lot of vets like Donohue, the marches and picket signs must have felt like a snub. So when Lynch suggested that someone go out there — to Vietnam — and bring those boys some beers to let them know they’re not forgotten, Donohue volunteered to go. And he went.

This a “I shit you not” story that really happened. God Bless.

Hat tip Gary G.

This was a story my dad told me about my parents wedding.

My dad’s mom’s side of the family is Polish and Russian Jews.

My mom’s side of the family is all Polish Catholics.

My dad’s grandmother’s brother (his great uncle) was from the same region of Poland as my mom’s mom’s side of the family.  They were from practically the same town outside of Warsaw.  One side was Catholic and on the other side of the river that ran through town was the Jewish side.

At my parents wedding, my dad’s great uncle was speaking in Polish to my mom’s grandmother.  My mom’s grandmother asked him how he spoke fluent Polish.  He said “I’m Polish.”  My mom’s grandmother said (quite loudly) “you’re not a Polish, you’re a Jew.”

That right there explains the Holocaust so well.  The Poles, Germans, French, and so many other Europeans never though of the Jews as their fellow countrymen.  They were always strangers, outsiders, in nations that have lived in for generations.

Fast forward to yesterday (6/1/2017) where Keith Olbermann tweets this:

There you have it.  According to resistance leader Reichsführer Olbermann, Republicans are not Americans.

Olbermann goes on a 7:44 rant in which he clearly states that Republicans are traitors who will be “damned by history” for Donald Trump.  To him, Republicans are an insidious force bent on destroying America, and maybe the world, for money.

I’m surprised he didn’t come out and call Republicans untermensch.

I’m getting a whiff of historical precedent of a man ranting into a TV camera, saying that all those who oppose his vision for his nation are subversive traitors.

Republicans are not Americans, they are “the other.”

(Illegal immigrants on the other hand are totally embraced as Americans and deserving of all sorts of free stuff.)

This is not the language of “resistance” or unity.

A few of his followers seem to understand that.

This will only embolden the violent on the Left.

For the first time in my life, as I stand on my tip toes to try to see if there is a gas chamber in my future over the horizon, I’m not sure if it is there because I’m Jewish, or because I’m not a Democrat.

In the last 48 hours:

Hillary Clinton lashed out and blamed the DNC for her loss in the 2016 presidential election.  This was, of course, the same DNC that rigged the primary for her against Bernie Sanders.

PolitiFact is investigating if  Trump’s nonsensical “covfefe” tweet was a secret Arabic message, while others try to determine the extent of the “covfefe” conspiracy.  (My guess is that is that it was typo which 4chan is trying to make the media look stupid with the way they did with the OK hand symbol.)

Trump pulled us out of the Paris Accords, because raising our energy costs to those of most European states , is a bad idea.  (Who doesn’t want an electricity bill that costs as much as a mortgage payment?  When the average European home is one half to one third the size of an American home, paying three times as much for electricity isn’t as bankrupting).  Well, according to the left, this was an act of “war” and “treason” and will cause the world to “burn.”

Lastly, after Kathy Griffin’s disgusting stunt got her fired from CNN, she’s now claiming to be the victim of Trump bullying.

So here are my two questions:

1 – How much further will this crazy train go before it gets all the way to Jonestown?

2 – Can I buy stock in Kool-Aid?

I saw FB friend Travis doing this and my mind went “HELL YES!” Since I suspended some time ago the Gun Motivators, I’ve been looking for an idea to keep recurrent at the blog…so here you go.

And that is the general principle:  A scene from one move and a quote from another.

And yes people, writing emails work. That is why the opposition does it and even had their email machines in the past.

Let’s put our efforts on not making this season a complete disaster.
