Trying not to start the public floggings

And That’s Just ONE

Eco-Crap, Good Stuff, Watermelons

At this rate, I’ll need to post articles from a fainting couch.  Why?

Consider just this Executive Order sent out under God-Emperor Trump’s signature.  It’s entitled “Unleashing American Energy” but its real title should be “Fuck You, Greenies”.  An excerpt:

Sec. 4.  Revocation of and Revisions to Certain Presidential and Regulatory Actions. 

(a)  The following are revoked and any offices established therein are abolished:

(i)     Executive Order 13990 of January 20, 2021 (Protecting Public Health and the Environment and Restoring Science to Tackle the Climate Crisis);

(ii)    Executive Order 13992 of January 20, 2021 (Revocation of Certain Executive Orders Concerning Federal Regulation);

(iii)   Executive Order 14008 of January 27, 2021 (Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad);

(iv)    Executive Order 14007 of January 27, 2021 (President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology);

(v)     Executive Order 14013 of February 4, 2021 (Rebuilding and Enhancing Programs to Resettle Refugees and Planning for the Impact of Climate Change on Migration);

(vi)    Executive Order 14027 of May 7, 2021 (Establishment of the Climate Change Support Office);

(vii)   Executive Order 14030 of May 20, 2021 (Climate-Related Financial Risk);

(viii)  Executive Order 14037 of August 5, 2021 (Strengthening American Leadership in Clean Cars and Trucks);

(ix)    Executive Order 14057 of December 8, 2021 (Catalyzing Clean Energy Industries and Jobs Through Federal Sustainability);

(x)     Executive Order 14072 of April 22, 2022 (Strengthening the Nation’s Forests, Communities, and Local Economies);

(xi)    Executive Order 14082 of September 12, 2022 (Implementation of the Energy and Infrastructure Provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022); and

(xii)   Executive Order 14096 of April 21, 2023 (Revitalizing Our Nation’s Commitment to Environmental Justice for All).

That’s twelve of FJB’s ghastly Green New Deal EOs overturned, with a single EO.  Talk about efficiency.

And the followup clauses (b, c, d and e) are enough to make any Greenie’s head explode.

The other sections contained in the EO might well give you even greater pleasure, so hie thee hence and read the whole thing.

Just this single EO — among the hundreds of similar nature — actually makes me giddy with delight.  Years and years of needless, not to say hostile Green bureaucracy abolished.

Keep ’em coming, Boss.

Nazzo Fast, Boss

Politics

Okay, God-Emperor DJT has made his first misstep — in my eyes, anyway.  Here’s why:

Trump responded to a reporter’s question about whether he would halt relief aid to California because of their sanctuary city policies.

TRUMP: I want to see two things in Los Angeles: Voter ID, so that the people have a chance to vote. And I want to see the water be released and come down into Los Angeles and throughout the state. Those are the two things.

Okay, here’s the thing.  I don’t think that POTUS / the FedGov should involve themselves in state politics, no matter how egregious the wrong being addressed.

I have no issue with the voter ID thing, because that has a direct impact on federal elections (e.g. for POTUS/VP), so whatever leverage he can apply to get that problem sorted out is fine.  Californians should not be able to rig the voting system (as they are), and that’s that.

But the water thing?  Nazzo fast, Guido.

The point is that in this regard, it is only Californians who are being hurt by the stupid Green policies of the CalGov.  It’s not a national issue, but a state issue.  If Californians continue to vote for the people who are in thrall to fucked-up policies like the water-related ones, then more fool them.  If they want to change those policies, they have to vote for change.  It’s not the business of the FedGov, ergo  nor that of POTUS.

It’s a step too far.

Even though I love the idea of Californians getting their noses rubbed into it, it’s wrong.

Make it just the voter ID issue, DJT, and we’ll be cool.

Congress Playing Their Part

Anti-Gun Nannies, Asshole Cops, Government Thugs, The Gun Thing

Hey, how can you argue with proposed legislation to rein in the jack-booted thugs of the ATF — especially when it’s known as the RIFLE Act?

Under the Biden Administration, ATF’s zero tolerance policy forced small and mid-sized gun stores out of business. The agency revoked Federal Firearm Licenses due to minor clerical errors like missing a customer’s middle initial or using a state’s abbreviation rather than the state’s full name. In 2024 alone, ATF saw the highest levels of gun store license revocations in 20 years—the third consecutive year of increased license revocations under President Biden’s leadership. Last week, the Biden Administration claimed it reversed its zero tolerance policy. Upon further review of the updated enforcement guidance, it appears to remain fully in effect.

Rep. Mann (R-KS) told Breitbart News, “President Biden did everything in his power to weaponize the federal government against gun store owners in the Big First District of Kansas and across the country. His zero tolerance policy undermined the Second Amendment and trampled on the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens. Since day one, I have rigorously pushed back against this unconstitutional policy and fought for more oversight to rein in ATF’s abuse.”

He added, “On November 5, 2024, the country made it clear—our constitutional rights are not up for grabs. My bill makes that crystal clear by fortifying the Second Amendment rights of local gun stores and seeking to restore a degree of wholeness to individuals whose livelihoods were destroyed by this federal abuse. I look forward to working with President Trump to further strengthen the protection of the Second Amendment, deliver justice for our FFLs, and get our country back on track.”

Who’s the new head of the ATF, again?  (I know, I know:  a decent head of the ATF would rescind the enforcement instructions off his own bat — I know I would, if my application to head up the ATF had been successful.  But then again, considering that I’d have started shutting down the entire agency from Day 1 of my appointment, the whole issue would have been moot.)

So Much For Compassion

Immigration, Marxists, Morons & Idiots

Okay, you would truly have to have a heart of stone not to laugh at this one:

A theatre in Paris which is known for its radical shows and exhibitions has been occupied by more than 250 African migrants after they were let in for a free event five weeks ago.

The Gaîté Lyrique theatre in Paris staged the conference, entitled Reinventing the welcome for refugees in France, on December 10.

It involved talks hosted by academics from top universities and Red Cross officials, and saw activists welcome in the migrants.

But when the conference was finished, the migrants, who mainly come from France’s former west African colonies, refused to leave the venue.

Still occupied, the leftist theatre now faces going out of business after weeks without revenue from ticket sales, and has had to cancel all performances until at least January 24.

Its management said in a statement last week that the number of people taking shelter in the theatre is ‘continuing to increase’ and has swelled to around 300 people.

Who could have seen this coming?  Raise your hands…

Oh… everyone, huh?  [exit, howling with laughter]

New Word

Immigration, Resistance

…and I like it:

Germany’s hard-right AfD party has vowed a total closure of borders for 100 days and signalled it would enact mass deportations if it wins power in the upcoming election.

Alice Weidel, the co-leader of Alternative for Germany, announced the party’s election manifesto, endorsing a policy ‘remigration’ for migrants, regardless of their citizenship status.

Not only is “remigration” a lovely description of the action, but the words that follow it are even more portentous:  “regardless of their citizenship status”.  (Cue:  screams of “racism” now.)

So if you’re a German citizen and drive your car headlong into a Christmas market while waving a Palestinian flag and screaming “Allah akbar” or whatever, expect to get your ass (and your entire family) shipped back to Shitholistan as soon as your prison sentence ends.  Sounds appropriate, dunnit?  And those mosques you’re so proud of and use to spread your loathsome 9th-century socio-political philosophy, and call “a spear into the heart of the infidels”?  Cue the bulldozers.  (Are those screams deafening, yet?)

And finally, a pro tip:  AfD are not even remotely “far-Right” — unless, of course, common sense, a demand for justice and national pride are rightwing principles.
