There are a number of "woke" corporations scheming to screw consumers by prematurely closing coal power plants in Europe and America. Blackrock and Citibank are among them. www.zerohedge.com While these ideologues are screwing us, China and other third world countries are building lots of coal fired power plants, giving their industry a huge advantage over ours, since so many of our politicians seem to be in suicide mode. Blackrock seems to always be making extreme left wing moves. If you have retirement money there, it is best to get it out and put it somewhere else. Ditto, Citibank.

Biden is asking for $6.4 Billion in taxpayer money to settle 95,000 Afghans in the US and for fast track citizenship for them. This includes access to welfare. Most of these are NOT the Afghans who helped the US and its allies. Most are unvetted and a significant number have no ID at all. We have no way to vet them effectively and no idea what their background is. Biden is both a spendthrift and a traitor. www.breitbart.com

Tim Moore, like his predecessor Thom Tillis, has always been a whore for the special interests. They are too peas in a RINO pod. That is especially true when it comes to crooked "green energy", the Green New Deal, or monopoly Duke Power. Tim Moore has always been in Duke Power's hip pocket and does not give a damn for the consumer who will suffer from thier machinations. The sooner Tim Moore is gone, the better, and the word is out that he is looking for a new gig. With "Republicans" like Tim Moore, who needs Democrats?

The only thing "green" about "green energy" is the money flowing to the con men running these scams. Sadly, utilities are now getting into the crooked game, too, as well as politicians. It is, and always has been, a massive ripoff of both the taxpayer and the electric ratepayer. What is curious is why Speaker Tim Moore is so hot and bothered to support this citizen ripoff for the special interests. The word is out that he is looking for a new gig. Could he be trying to butter up Duke Power for a high paid position?

These Biden Republicans need to be defeated in their next primary. And we do not need any more Biden Republicans like Pat McCrory.

Tara Reade is firing up on Biden for sexually harassing and indeed sexually assaulting her.
www.breitbart.com But Big Media will surely cover for him as they usually do.

McCrory? That has not gotten much attention yet, but if he gets the nomination it will. Sexual harassment of another man will not play well with the GOP base, and that could hurt general election turnout for the GOP. Lets hope he is not the nominee.

According to the Gateway Pundit the entire bill is $1.2 Billion, of which $550 million is actual infrastructure and $650 million is Democrat pet projects. That Tillis and Burr voted for this far left pork barrel is appalling. Since the details of exactly what is being funded are still hidden, even from the lousy senators who just voted to let it go forward, some of the infratstructure portion may also be pork barrel and pet projects. Every RINO who voted for this crap sandwich needs a primary. To make matters even worse, this is just the beginning. Democrats have an even bigger spending bill that they plan to use "reconciliation" to muscle through that spends even more. With Democrats spending like drunken sailors and RINOs letting them do it, inflation may make the US dollar about as worthless as the Zimbabwe dollar.

Somebody needs to look at how Beaufort County is spending this money.
"Equity" = communism

It is not just gasoline prices that Biden is trying to send into the stratosphere, but also electric rates. Biden is trying to shut down cheap and reliable coal generation and subsidize expensive and unreliable wind and solar to replace. How much more expensive? A recent contract for offshore wind energy signed by the Long Island Power Authority is a good example. They are currently paying $35 per MegaWatt/ hour for convention electricity, but their contract with South Fork Wind Project, a foreign owned operation, half of its construction cost paid by American taxpayers, commits them to start paying $160.00 per MegaWatt / hour beginning in 2023 and rising to $235 per MegaWatt hour in 20 years. Paying four and a half times what coal / gas / nuclear powered electricity costs is not in the interests of their customers, who will pay the freight for the difference. Biden (and Roy Cooper) want to foist similar ripoffs on us.

The solar panel cleanup problem is explained by Dr. Michael Shellenberger, a former advocate of climate alarmism who has recanted and now is a climate realist. In this article he points out the huge and negative environmental impact of the huge quantity of worn out solar panels that it is impractical to recycle and which contain a cocktail of tozic substances which can leach into the groundwater.

Gas prices can get a lot worse. A former US Energy Secretary said on CNBC that oil could go over $100 a barrel under Biden policies and gas over $5 a gallon.

Hooray for the Swiss in fighting back against the climate alarmist boondoggle and just saying NO to the increased taxes demanded by these scam artists. I wish we could do the same with a referendum, but I am also mindful of how the French forced their president to back down on these "climate taxes". They took to the streets in massive protests, the so-called Yellow Vest movement, and basically shut down the country to force Macron to back down and repeal them. The US does not have provisions for a national referendum like the Swiss, so we may have to go the French route if Biden and the Democrats try to sock us with similar taxes.

2 squishy RINOs from NC selling out the taxpayers to socialist Biden. What an embarrassment. Those who held their nose to vote for Tillis are regretting it. We need to remember that and not let RINOs McCrory or Walker take our Senate nomination next year. McCrory or Walkers would just be another Tillis or Burr. In fact, Tillis and Burr's consultant is even working for McCrory. Lisa Murkowshi will get hers in next year's primary, where she has a top notch conservative challenger who is already ahead of her substantially in the polls. Here is her challenger's introductory ad: www.youtube.com

In addition to gas prices, Biden is deliberately trying to drastically raise our electric rates. He is attacking coal and gas, two of the most efficient and economical sources of electricity, and at the same time wanting to massively subsidize the construction of the most expensive, offshore wind. Biden wants to pay developers, mostly foreign owned, half the cost of building these red herrings, then force American consumers to buy their product, whose cost is running three to four times what conventional electricity costs. Other drawbacks of offshore wind are destroying marine eco-systems, devastating sea bird populations, creating new vulnerabilities to hurricanes for our electric grid, destroying fishing grounds for our commercial fishermen, and threatening endangered species. Beijing Biden is working against American interests.

Like gas prices, Biden's policies will also cause a huge increase in electric rates. That is due to his pushing expensive and unreliable wind and solar electricity. Going gung ho on wind and solar is why Germany pays three timges as much for electricity as North Carolina. Biden is going to clobber the middle class economically.

The fake 1619 project is just a rehash of how the old Soviet Union used to present American history. Having this despicable Marxist propagandist "teach" at UNC is bad enough, but this same garbage will be introduced to our school children across North Carolina thanks to a radical state Board of Education majority's warping of the social studies curriculum in public schools. That is even more dangerous. Local school boards need to state rejecting THAT.

The Biden climate alarmists seem intent on at least doubling our gas pirces. Now it is our electric bills, too. Americans cannot afford Joe Biden.
