The 'They' With the Golden Gun: Future James Bond May Be Nonbinary
Does James Bond have a gender identity, or is he just some guy? As it turns out, the former is the case. Or, at least, it may be. During an appearance on the Girls On Film podcast, Barbara Broccoli — the woman in charge of 007’s destiny via her Eon Productions — waxed on the iconic spy’s future.
[Girls on Film host Anna Smith] asked if she believes the character will remain male, to which the producer replied, “I do, because I don’t think that we should be making films where women are playing men.” “I think we should be making more films about women. I think Bond will be a man,” she added. “Non-binary, perhaps, maybe one day?”

Science works great for rational people. Vaccines and social distancing works great.
VIENNA (AP) — Austria ended lockdown restrictions for vaccinated people across most of the country on Sunday, three weeks after reimposing strict rules to combat a rising wave of coronavirus infections.
The rules, which vary by region within the country, largely allow for the reopening of theaters, museums and other cultural and entertainment venues on Sunday. Shops will follow on Monday.
Some regions are reopening restaurants and hotels on Sunday, while others will wait until later in the month. In all cases, there will be an 11 p.m. curfew for restaurants, and masks will still be required on public transportation and inside stores and public spaces.
Chancellor Karl Nehammer last week called the move an “opening with a seatbelt,” giving each of Austria’s nine regions the ability to loosen or tighten restrictions based on the local situation.
Unvaccinated people will still be subject to the lockdown restrictions and should remain at home for all but a handful of specific reasons, like buying groceries, going to the doctor or exercising.
Since the start of the lockdown, new case numbers have plummeted in the small Alpine country. On Friday, Austria reported 367.5 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants, down from 1,102.4 on the first day of the lockdown in November. an approximate 70% decline in infection rate because they believe in science.
Donald Trump has castrated you.
The new NATO in Asia AUKUS is the new cold war on China. President Harry Truman is the founder of NATO and The Cold War that saved earth from the Soviet Union.
President Biden is doing the same thing and the Buck Stops There.
Australia and South Korea entered a $680 million dollar defense agreement on Monday, the largest ever between the two countries.
Per the agreement, Hanwha, a South Korean defense company, will provide the Australian army with supplies including artillery weapons, supply vehicles and radars, according to The Associated Press.
“The contract that we have signed today, I think, speaks volumes about what we believe are the capabilities of the Korean defense industry,” Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said, per the wire service.
The contract with Hanwha would create roughly 300 jobs in Australia, the AP reported.
Also, South Korean President Moon Jae-in's trip marked the first time a foreign leader has visited Australia since the pandemic began.
Moon and Morrison agreed to forge a “comprehensive strategic partnership” in addition to working collaboratively on clean energy technology and facilitating the supply of critical minerals, the AP noted.
The contract comes as Australia recently announced it would construct nuclear-powered submarines alongside the U.S. and Britain, a partnership known as AUKUS, which China has staunchly opposed.
South Africa's president tests positive for COVID-19
Earlier this month, the Biden administration’s Indo-Pacific coordinator, Kurt Campbell, said that China has attempted to “break” Australia through “dramatic economic warfare.”
"China's preference would have been to break Australia, to drive Australia to its knees," he said.
Since the middle of last year, China has blocked some Australian imports in what is thought to be retaliation for Australia repressing foreign investment and asking questions about COVID-19's origins.
You would have hated General Marshall like you do with General Milly.
Not science fiction from Redstate etc
Here’s what I’m thinking now, subject to major revisions if new information comes out that explodes these hypotheses.
1. Omicron is more transmissible than Delta and will spread faster than Delta in many places. This can be true because Omicron is innately more infectious, or because it is more likely to break through against one or two vaccine shots, or because of some combination of the two factors. If people’s behavior changes dramatically in the face of this fear, that could have a mitigating effect on spread.
2. Omicron will cause more breakthrough infections. It’s already demonstrated extraordinary infectiousness in highly vaccinated areas in South Africa, New York, and Oslo. I don’t expect these examples to be outliers. We should be prepared for Omicron cases to explode in the U.S. and around the world.
3. Omicron will produce less severe illness per infection than previous strains—but it could still produce a lot of hospitalizations, especially among the elderly, if total infections skyrocket. This conclusion is in line with everything we’re hearing from South Africa, Europe, and the outbreaks in New York and Oslo. I expect U.S. hospitalization rates as a share of cases to be lower than what we saw for previous strains. But that doesn’t mean total hospitalizations will be lower. Quite the opposite: It’s possible that Omicron produces less severity per case but also that the U.S. gets deluged with COVID cases, producing a very large surge in hospitalizations on top of the ongoing Delta wave. In particular, the elderly have lower T cell counts, which could make older Americans—and, especially, U.S. nursing homes—particularly vulnerable to Omicron.
4. Get your booster shot. Americans cannot control much about the course of the pandemic. This is something most of us can control: Choose to boost. This would be good advice even if Omicron didn’t exist. Delta is already surging again in the U.S., and we’re seeing hospitalizations surge with it.

en the tornado hit. They lost everything. (Mike Schuh, Alice Li/The Washington Post)
By Jessica Lipscomb
Today at 2:47 a.m. EST
The rising sun illuminated entire cities in ruin as morning broke Saturday in western Kentucky. Piles of bricks appeared where buildings had stood. Roofs torn open revealed mangled furnishings inside. Bicycles and refrigerators dangled from trees like ornaments.
The deadly tornadoes that caused devastation in Kentucky and five other states came just a few months after a 7.2-magnitude earthquake rocked Haiti and Category 4 Hurricane Ida tore through the Eastern United States and Atlantic Canada. In an interview Sunday morning on CNN’s “State of the Union,” FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell said the agency is preparing for severe weather events of similar magnitude.
“This is going to be our new normal, and the effects that we’re seeing from climate change are the crisis of our generation,” she said. “We’ll continue to work on helping to reduce the impacts, but we’re also prepared to respond to any community that gets impacted by one of these severe events.”
Severe tornadoes are uncommon this late in the year, with December usually considered a quiet month.
“We do see tornadoes in December, that part is not unusual, but at this magnitude, I don’t think we’ve ever seen one this late in the year,” Criswell told host Jake Tapper. “The severity and the amount of time this tornado, or these tornadoes, spent on the ground is unprecedented.”
As of early Monday, the death toll remained uncertain. Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) last estimated that some 50 to 100 people in his state were dead.
Trump once again proving you can't fix stupid!!!!!!!

Trump called for GOP House Minority leader Mitch McConnell to be removed from his position.
It comes after McConnell cut a new deal with Democrats to raise the debt ceiling.
Trump previously called in October for McConnell to be ousted before the deal was done.
Former President Donald Trump called for Republicans to rebel against Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and oust him from his leadership position as vengeance for brokering a deal to raise the federal debt ceiling.
Trump called McConnell a "broken old crow" and criticized him for working with Senate Democrats on the debt ceiling deal instead of using it as leverage to oppose President Joe Biden's spending plans.
In “normal” times, the practice of medicine has many challenges, some from within and some from outside the profession. If you let it, much of your daily practice follows specialty guidelines, insurance company criteria, hospital formularies, and other annoyances. None of those entities have any liability when it comes to our patients. For the most part, liability lies with the treating physician.
Each specialty plays a particular role in a patient’s care and specialists often view issues from different angles while wearing their tunnel-vision glasses. For instance, some physicians view elevated cholesterol as an indicator to assess other potential underlying medical issues, while a cardiologist will just write a prescription for a statin drug, just as a cat reflexively chases a mouse.
What changed overnight and across the board, was an anti-science attitude across all specialties to everything related to COVID. A viral infection is not something requiring government management, rather, its encounter is part of a physician’s daily medical practice. The government has seemingly accomplished what medical insurers, medical boards, and hospitals tried, but had not yet succeeded at: complete mind control of physicians. And with that, the last vestige of respect I had for my profession died.
Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America
12/10/21
Mitch McConnell, the Broken Old Crow, has just conceded, for absolutely nothing and for no reason, the powerful Debt Ceiling negotiating block, which was the Republicans’ first-class ticket for victory over the Democrats. He was afraid to play that card even though, without question, they would have completely FOLDED on the Build Back Worse Bill, which will destroy the fabric of our Country and virtually anything else that the Republicans wanted. It should have been used on the Unfrastructure Deal also. Proudly, House Republicans voted 100% like true patriots (Kinzinger, in my mind, is not a Republican!). The Old Crow also allowed a breaking up of the filibuster, which allows the Democrats now to establish precedent for changing the number of Justices on the Supreme Court and, perhaps most importantly of all, a so-called Voting Rights Bill, which will make it almost impossible for Republicans to get elected in the future. He lost two seats in Georgia, didn’t fight for the presidency, and now gave away our most powerful negotiating tool—the Debt Ceiling. Other than fundraising, where he buys senatorial support, the Broken Old Crow is a loser, and very bad for the Republican Party!
He is absolutely right about
perhaps most importantly of all, a so-called Voting Rights Bill, which will make it almost impossible for Republicans to get elected in the future.
Because the voice of the people would prevail.

Trump Says Netanyahu ‘Never Wanted Peace’
December 13, 2021 at 7:43 am EST By Taegan Goddard 107 Comments
Former President Donald Trump contends that one big reason his “ultimate deal” between the Israelis and Palestinians collapsed is that then-Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu never wanted to make peace, Axios reports.
Said Trump: “I don’t think Bibi ever wanted to make peace. I think he just tapped us along. Just tap, tap, tap, you know?”
EXCUSES, EXCUSES. TRUMP SAID HE WOULD FIX THE PALESTINIAN-ISRAELI THING REALLY QUICKLY. MAYBE AT WARPSPEED.

1 of Every 100 Older Americans Has Perished
December 13, 2021 at 7:33 am EST By Taegan Goddard 42 Comments
New York Times:
“As the coronavirus pandemic approaches the end of a second year, the United States stands on the cusp of surpassing 800,000 deaths from the virus, and no group has suffered more than older Americans. All along, older people have been known to be more vulnerable, but the scale of loss is only now coming into full view.
“Seventy-five percent of people who have died of the virus in the United States — or about 600,000 of the nearly 800,000 who have perished so far — have been 65 or older. One in 100 older Americans has died from the virus. For people younger than 65, that ratio is closer to 1 in 1,400.”

Said Johnson:
“I think the idea that this is somehow a milder version of the virus, I think that’s something we need to set on one side and just recognize the sheer pace at which it accelerates through the population.”
The New York Times quotes Johnson:
“No one should be in any doubt: There is a tidal wave of Omicron coming,”

GOP Senator Says His Election Was ‘Fair and Square’

Child Tax Credit Cliff Looms
December 13, 2021 at 6:41 am EST By Taegan Goddard 14 Comments
“Democrats are hoping a year-end cliff with 35 million families on the line can finally shake a deal loose on President Joe Biden’s marquee bill,” Politico reports.
“Preserving the party’s expanded child tax credit, which delivers monthly checks to most families with children, has been a central tenet of Biden’s social safety net bill from the start. But months of grueling negotiations have forced Democrats right up against the Dec. 31 deadline that could blot out one of their biggest political wins this year.”
What Joe Manchin Is Reading This Morning

Can Schumer Deliver Manchin’s Vote?
December 13, 2021 at 6:39 am EST By Taegan Goddard 20 Comments
“Chuck Schumer leapt over the trap doors of a potential government shutdown and debt default. Now he has to stick the landing on one of the largest spending bills in American history,” Politico reports.
“As the Senate majority leader checks off his chamber’s list of must-pass bills, he’s turning to the urgent task of passing President Joe Biden’s $1.7 trillion social safety net bill before the long holiday break. Just a few obstacles lie in his way: Joe Manchin’s concern over rising inflation, the need for total party unity and only a few days left to meet his goal of final passage by Christmas. Oh, yeah, and the final deal isn’t finished yet.”
Playbook:
“Schumer has been adamant that his chamber will clear the party’s $1.7 trillion social spending package before senators leave for the holidays. Yet everyone knows that won’t happen without the stubborn West Virginia Democrat — and Democrats are looking for some presidential arm-twisting to get him there.”
Punchbowl News:
“Biden and Manchin will speak about the BBB as early as today, a discussion that will go a long way toward deciding whether the $1.7 trillion package — the president’s top legislative priority — can be finished before Christmas or will slide into 2022.”
Roger makes an excellent point at 7:42.

Dem governor declares COVID-19 emergency ‘over,’ says it’s ‘their own darn fault’ if unvaccinated get sick
Gov. Jared Polis: 'Everybody had more than enough opportunity to get vaccinated'
Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, a Democrat, declared in a new interview that the COVID-19 emergency is "over" and that he won’t be implementing another statewide mask mandate in response to the spread of the omicron variant, explaining that if people aren’t vaccinated at this point it’s their "own darn fault" if they get sick.
"Everybody had more than enough opportunity to get vaccinated," Polis told Colorado Public Radio on Friday. "Hopefully it's been at your pharmacy, your grocery store, a bus near you, [or at] big events. At this point, if you haven't been vaccinated, it's really your own darn fault."

Because the people in Afghanistan are suffering from starvation, the United States should give assistance, very carefully to the.
Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi also told the Associated Press the Taliban is “committed in principle to education and jobs for girls and women, a marked departure from their previous time in power, and they seek the world’s ‘mercy and compassion’ to help millions of Afghans in desperate need.”
He added that the Taliban government “wants good relations with all countries and has no issue with the United States. He urged Washington and other nations to release upward of $10 billion in funds that were frozen when the Taliban took power Aug. 15, following a rapid military sweep across Afghanistan and the sudden, secret flight of U.S.-backed President Ashraf Ghani.”
Washington Post: As evacuations from Afghanistan slow to a trickle, some “at risk” allies may face long road to the United States.
There appears to be a contest for the dumbest fuck at the NY Times, and Krugman is hell bent to win -

“The survey claiming that as many as 30 million Americans are ready to undertake a violent coup for Donald Trump is the work of the University of Chicago Project on Security and Threats (CPOST). The director of CPOST is one Robert Pape, who several years ago won renown for a study purporting to demonstrate that the vast majority of suicide bombers were not motivated by Islamic texts such as the notorious Qur’an passage promising paradise to those who “kill and are killed” for Allah (9:111).”

'Due to the fact that Biden gave out way too much free money and nobody wants to work anymore. We are forced to reduce our hours during this week,' the sign on the iHop in Arkansas read
The sign was posted as the Biden administration said employers had added just 210,000 jobs in November which fell short of economists' forecasts
The sign garnered mixed reactions, with some applauding iHop management for being blunt and others saying that frustration is misplaced and inappropriate
One person tweeted they to support the chain for their honesty: 'Kudos to iHop for being truthful and not freaking woke. Think our family of 6 will stop by.'

Why they fight: It's not just about Trump -- the insurrectionists believe 'their version of America is under threat'
Jordan Green, Staff Reporter
December 13, 2021
The Jan. 6 rioters’ composite profile reveals an insurrectionary base willing to resort to political violence to resist challenges to the dominant position of white Christendom and patriarchy in the United States.
At about 8 a.m. on a Thursday morning in late June, FBI agents in tactical vests appeared at the front door of Casey Cusick, a 36-year-old Christian evangelical pastor, in Palm Bay, Fla.
Dressed in a T-shirt and shorts, Cusick met the agents in his front yard, and they placed him in handcuffs. His 4-year-old child asked Cusick’s wife: “Mommy, why are they locking Daddy’s hands?”
Cusick, vice president of Global Outreach Ministries church, was charged with violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds and other violations in connection with the Jan. 6 assault on the US Capitol. His father, Jim, the founder of the church, along with David Lesperance, a member of the church, have also been charged.
Months later, recording a podcast while awaiting trial, Casey Cusick reflected on how his father had noted before Donald Trump was elected that 1 Corinthians 15:52 says, “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: the trumpet shall sound.”
To Casey Cusick and his father, the word “trump” couldn’t be a fluke of translation.
READ: Make no mistake: Trump's insurrectionists were there to kill Pence, Pelosi -- or whoever they could find
“Now, you can’t tell me that it’s coincidence that the last president was Donald Trump,” Cusick insisted. “And here we go reading the scripture right here where it says, ‘The last trump for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.’”
The Cusicks had traveled with Lesperance to Washington DC on Jan. 6 to support Trump.
“We went up to DC to attend the rally because we believed what Trump said, and we believed that he won the election,” Casey Cusick told the far-right news outlet Newsmax. There, Trump told his supporters: “Our country has been under siege for a long time, far longer than this four-year period. You’re the real people that built this nation.” He added, “And we fight. We fight like hell. And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.”
Now, 10 months later, Casey Cusick was telling his podcast listeners: “We’re in a situation right now of combating this stuff in our country. We need to throw away all these love messages and faith messages, and start teaching our people and letting ’em know what is going on in our country. And if you don’t fight — fight back against this tyranny that’s happening — they’ll shut our churches down. We already saw what happened with COVID-19. We saw them literally shut our churches down.”
They don't believe in the first amendment rights.
Ironic, since the American public by and large supports Voter ID laws, wants more secure elections, and are largely against the bill Democrats want to pass.
Ironic indeed. The language the left uses to describe their goals is often the exact opposite of what they actually want.
The "voice of the people" gets permanently destroyed by H.R. 1 by codifying voter fraud into law.
but, but, but... voter ID laws are racist even if every first world country in the world (except the US and Russia) has nationalized voter ID laws. Because I believe that 95% of the world is racist!
You won't read it because you believe the big lie.
I read it, and this flaming pile of bullshit leapt off the page:
“It’s not just being a Trump loyalist,” Amy Cooter, a sociologist at Vanderbilt University, told Raw Story. “A good majority of them feel like their version of America is under threat in a variety of ways. They’ve had those fears exacerbated by the pandemic. They were genuinely afraid of the protests after George Floyd’s killing. Whereas people of color, especially Black people, grow in size population-wise and grow in terms of political power, white people lash out through a variety of means, including gerrymandering. Some white people, to use a technical term, are freaked out. Trump becomes a symbol of resistance to all of these problems they perceive.”
First of all, were it not for Roe, blacks would be roughly 29% of the American population, not 14% as they currently are. Those pro-lifers out there on the front lines of wanting to shitcan Roe are predominantly WHITE, dumbass. And they fight for ALL lives, not just the white ones.
Second, if whites were freaked out at the prospect of blacks attaining a high level of political power, they would not have elected 0linsky not once but TWICE. 0linsky doesn't get elected or re-elected without the WHITE vote, dumbass.
Every time you post a story from 'Raw Story' an angel get's a lobotomy, because that's how fucking stupid their stories are.
Scott you know that Trump is correct.
He is absolutely right about
He said
perhaps most importantly of all, a so-called Voting Rights Bill, which will make it almost impossible for Republicans to get elected in the future.
Because the voice of the people would prevail.
Because the demographics are changing quickly, the Republicans have attempting to deny the right to choose our leaders, like the founding fathers pledged.
The ID regulations are specifically designed to reduce turnout in the large cities, that have a higher percentage of minorities.
He supported the same plan in New York times..
Eventually they lost in the courts.
You obviously have not read H.R. 1, have you alky?
Or you have and you've chosen to blatantly LIE about it.
Which is it?
perhaps most importantly of all, a so-called Voting Rights Bill, which will make it almost impossible for Republicans to get elected in the future.
Actually Roger...
I disagree completely. The pendulum is swinging hard to the right at this point. Republicans will continue to make gains and win elections no matter what sort of cheating you allow. At the end of the day, Republicans are not winning California, New York or many of the few remaining states (18 left) where you do not need a voter ID law anyways. The more reasonable states (like Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming, etc...) will no doubt update their laws on their own.
But yeah, once we become a first world country in terms of our election laws and stop pretending we are voting for a Voice Show winner rather than President of the United States then I look for Democrats to struggle even more.

The NBC media panel for Meet the Press is absolutely apoplectic about their inability to destroy President Donald Trump and his supportive base of pragmatic, awakened Americans. The pearl-clutching and fear are palpable, as the leftist roundtable contemplates future elections that may deconstruct decades of election control, manipulation, fraud and falsehood.
What the panel of John Heilemann, Marianna Sotomayor, Kimberly Atkins Stohr and Brendan Buck really fear is the pesky system within our constitutional republic we call ‘federalism’. They need to keep their attacks against Donald Trump cast in the role of eliminating baby Hitler simply to avoid confronting the flaws in their own ideological arguments. They fear freedom. They need the collective. Individual liberty is against their own sense of self and purpose.
If you listen through their nonsense (not for the faint of heart), all of the panel apoplexy boils down to individual states in control of their own elections. What they fear is federalism itself, which makes sense when you remind yourself there are two generations of leftists who were taught that collectivism (the we are the world crap), where only one centralized federal government, of all consuming power and authority, should be allowed to make decisions.
While it would be fun to debate a group like this, the core of their fear is a diminishing ability to control. As CTH reminds frequently, the need for control is a reaction to fear. This applies in all levels of social society from elections to COVID responses. Elites need control, because at their core they fear the inherent inequity of freedom.
Sally Struthers pleads into the camera for donations to feed the starving child in her arms in Africa… leftists swoon, and the U.N. activates. Meanwhile, some pragmatist watching the commercial leans over to her husband and says, “I wonder why the cameraman didn’t just give the kid a sandwich”?
Control is a reaction to fear. Think in terms of politics and society – the fear behind leftist politics is the fear that someone might withhold things (opportunities, money, whatever) from me. Fear that if you live your life in a way I dislike that it might affect my life. Fear that if you get that job, there will be nothing left for me. Fear that if you make tons of money, it means there’s less money out there for me. So, people who believe in leftist ideologies seek control as a means of trying to create guarantees and safeguards against those circumstances they fear.
The DC UniParty knows exactly how to exploit that fear, and both Democrats and Republicans love to provide those guarantees and safeguards.

You still believe the big lie. And even worse, is that The Wall Street Journal reports on the slow motion coup...using gerrymandering is unfortunately legal sedition against the Constitution.
More races for the U.S. House next year will start with one party holding a significant advantage because the process of redrawing congressional district lines is whittling down the number of politically competitive seats.
Nearly half the states that elect more than one House member have finished adjusting their districts, which is generally done after each 10-year census. While states that hold just over half of the remaining House seats are still at work, one trend is clear: State lawmakers, who in most cases draw the maps, have created more districts where voters skew heavily toward one party, eliminating many districts where voters are more evenly divided in their political preferences.
A Wall Street Journal analysis finds 12 politically competitive districts in the 22 states that have completed their House maps so far, down from 25 such districts currently.
The early figures signal that Republicans are likely to gain the most political power from redistricting. The number of districts with a strong Republican tilt has grown to 77, up from 64 13% in the current maps, the analysis finds. Districts considered safe terrain for Democratic candidates have grown from 59 to 61. 3%
The Journal defined competitive districts as those in which the margin between President Biden and former President Donald Trump in the 2020 election was within 5 percentage points. Districts were considered safe territory for a party if its presidential candidate won by 15 points or more. The analysis excluded states with a single congressional district and included Georgia, where the House map hasn’t formally become law but is expected to do so.
“It’s really competitiveness that’s taking a whack this cycle,” said Michael Li, who is tracking the new maps as senior counsel at the Brennan Center for Justice, a policy research group. “There are just going to be a lot fewer competitive seats.”
Many analysts say that compromise in Congress becomes harder when House districts are dominated by one party, as the winner of that party’s primary contest usually goes on to win the seat. This can push candidates to appeal to their party’s most ideologically driven supporters, rather than focusing on the larger and broader set of general-election voters.
The decline in competitiveness stems from the fact that many states where one party controls the legislature and governor’s office are trying to increase the winning margins for their more vulnerable incumbents by concentrating more of their supporters in those districts. State lawmakers in fewer states are taking the opposite approach—spreading their supporters across multiple districts in an attempt to win additional seats, but at the risk of doing so on narrow voting margins.

So...
Right after his call with Slow Joe, Putin added 10,000 troops to the Ukraine border.
using gerrymandering is unfortunately legal sedition against the Constitution.
'legal sedition.'
Easily one of the top 10 stupidest things you've ever said around here alky. And that's saying something.
Also omitted his partner, Buffet and this was cutting edge techonology using sodium cooled reactors!!!!!! BWAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! I say go for it Bill as the world passes the dirt farmer by again!
Sodium cooled reactors were cutting edge technology 40 years ago when the Soviet nuclear reactor at Chernobyl melted down.
Look for less cutting edge and more reliable, cleaner nuclear reaction.
But it's not the first time Buffet got into high risk environmental activities. He got his Democrat friends, specifically Joe Biden to axe the Keystone XL pipeline. Just so he can transport the oil tar on railroad cars he owns.

Is that what Democrats in California are doing? A slow motion coup by gerrymandering.

It's what democrats in NY did, as they now have super-majorities in the state legislature, and of course the governorship.
The only thing NY politicians can't control is the total number of house seats, since we're losing population like the state is on fucking FIRE.
The alky never complains about democrat LOCKS on certain seats. I wonder why???
Biden said the tornados were due to global warming but in the next sentence he said he couldn't definitively link them to climate change.
At best this is cynical at worse this is confused.
We are on the edge of a new civil war.
I see too many uneasy parallels between what was happening nearly 200 years ago and what is happening now. I see this country on the verge of another civil war, as the Calhounian impulse is reborn.
There are enormous, obvious differences, of course. The civil war I see is not the kind that would leave hundreds of thousands of young men dead in combat. That is not to say that we aren’t seeing spates of violence but rather that this new war will be fought in courts, statehouses and ballot boxes, rather than in the fields.
And this war won’t be only about the subjugation of Black people but also about the subjugation of all who challenge the white racist patriarchy.
It will seek to push back against all the “others”: Black people, immigrants, Muslims, Jews, L.G.B.T.Q. people and, yes, women, particularly liberal ones.
In some ways, the abortion battle now being waged in the courts is a test case. Can the states make an argument that a civil right can be reversed on the state level? Can they make the case that all that the Constitution has not explicitly spelled out should be reserved for the states?
The Constitution has been silent on quite a bit since it was written in 1787, and the last time it was amended was nearly 30 years ago, in 1992, when the states ratified the 27th Amendment. When did Congress first approve that amendment? In 1789! Having not gotten enough states to ratify it after passage, it simply languished for 200 years.
All of us should be very worried about what we see happening with these abortion cases — not just women who might need abortions or relatives and friends of women who might need them.
We should worry about whether or not we are at an inflection point for an age of regression. Charles Blow...
I have been saying this since January 6th when he tried to overturn the election results and of course the Constitution of the United States of America.
This is not liberal vs. conservative anymore.
Liberal states are not gerrymandering their districts to favor Biden or Democrats who are at risk.

LOL.
Of course not. The left is as pure as the driven snow.
As you allow yourself to be gaslighted by Charles Blow.

What does that matter Rat?
Liberals said Putin had shaky leg syndrome from being so intimidated by Slow Joe Biden... that is the true test of how negotiations went!
Scott will hate this decision on
WASHINGTON — None of the military personnel involved in a botched drone strike in Kabul, Afghanistan, that killed 10 civilians will face any kind of punishment after Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III approved recommendations from two top commanders, a senior Pentagon official said.
The Pentagon acknowledged in September that the last U.S. drone strike before American troops withdrew from Afghanistan was a tragic mistake that killed the civilians, including seven children, after initially saying it had been necessary to prevent an Islamic State attack on troops.
A subsequent high-level investigation into the episode found no violations of law but stopped short of fully exonerating those involved, saying that was “commander business.” Mr. Austin left the final word on any administrative action, such as reprimands or demotions, to two senior commanders — Gen. Kenneth F. McKenzie Jr., the head of the military’s Central Command, and Gen. Richard D. Clarke, head of the Special Operations Command. Both officers found no grounds for penalizing any of the military personnel involved in the episode, the Pentagon official said. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss delicate personnel matters.

It is what it is, Rog...
The Biden Administration believes it is okay to kill women and children... as long as they are brown skinned Muslims. Kill em all, Joe says! No problem, no repercussions.

Yep. With an 'administration' as chock full of incompetent assholes as this one is, there's simply no way to hold anyone accountable for their fuck up's as all they're doing is fucking up.
