Michael Lind’s analysis of the influence of Gore on environmental policy for the Democrats is must reading One can argue that a majority of the American electorate rejected environmental extremism as set forth in this article and that the GOP led Congress should cut back on any taxpayer paid boondoggles rooted in such nonsense
Carlson embraces, admires and refused to criticize Putin. He is an anti Semite. He has enormous influence over Trump and the far right. He is a dangerous man with fascistic tendencies.
Here's from yesterday, current history (JewishInsider)
Elon Musk is facing scrutiny for amplifying Tucker Carlson’s controversial interview with Jeffrey Sachs, the Columbia professor who, in a lengthy discussion with the former Fox News host released on Monday, espouses a litany of conspiracy theories about Israel and the broader Middle East, among other spurious claims that have drawn criticism.
“Very interesting interview,” Musk wrote in a post to X, his social media platform, on Monday night, while sharing the conversation with his more than 207 million followers.
“ very interesting” does not mean that Musk actually liked or approved of what Carlson said Musk visited Israel with Ben Shapiro and saw what Hamas did to the kibbutzim in Gaza
Carlson no longer has much influence with Trump, not like in 2015 or 2016. He is a worrisome figure for his recognition and reach, not at Rogan levels, but up there. He's clearly embittered by being fired from Fox, where he rightly got into trouble for libeling voting machine makers in 2020 (and apparently knowing what he was repeating on-air was nonsense). The "publisher" standard regarding libel and incitement thankfully still applies to broadcasters. It needs to be immediately applied to all social media companies.
I fully expect a moronic convergence of crackpots, with Carlson hosting AOC, Hasan Piker, and Ben Rhodes to explain the evils of You Know Who. I regard all such detritus as a delayed hangover from the Little Bush years, a hangover never cleared from our system. This includes Obama, his acolytes and funders, and hangers-on.
The dangers in Trump's cabinet picks are two:
* Tulsi Gabbard, wackjob ideologue, former cultist (forerunner of QAnon), and all-around weirdo
* RFK, Jr.
The latter could do some good in charge of, not HHS, but the USDA, the engine that subsidizes Big Grain and our carbo-rich, metabolically insane food supply.
In charge of HHS, he's a disaster: his touchstone beliefs -- some connection of vaccines to autism (no), no connection between HIV/retroviruses and AIDS (nope), and cellphones causing cancer (no) -- are scientific and medical nonsense. All three have been studied, in many countries, out the wazoo, to death. The connection of HIV and AIDS has been established for four decades and forms the basis for all successful treatments of AIDS.
Meanwhile, the vaccine-autism thing was driven by ONE later discredited paper published in Lancet in 1997. It took 13 years (far too long) to have it withdrawn, long after its authors admitted to scientific fraud. The modern vaccine regime started in the 1930s. Autism rates have apparently risen since the 1980s. No one knows for sure why. The older age of parents is clearly one cause, but not the only.
The even weirder thing is that both are liberal-to-left democrats. RFK Jr. is a mover and shaker in the deeply cynical opposition to nuclear power. Until 2020, almost all opposition to vaccines came from the crunchy-granola left, like the National Vaccine Information Center, funded by the late Paul Soros, brother to George.
Michael Lind lost me in his first paragraph, by giving even minimal credence to the suicidal/homicidal “climate change” narrative.
It is a dastardly and thoroughly corrupt excuse for so-called science, as climate change, so called, poses almost zero threat to mankind or the planet, and certainly not in a manner that their crazy and fantastical solutions could hope to alter in any meaningful way, all of which would more likely end up killing is all before the weather ever even had a chance.
It is in reality, nothing more than an extraordinary money laundering operation that only privileges an elite few over the lives of virtually all others in all countries around the world. It needs to be utterly debunked and unceremoniously tossed into the dustbin of history.
Al Gore is an utter crackpot, besides being a self-seeking, sanctimonious greedhead, as Lind's amazing and totally accurate takedown outlines. There's actually no serious evidence of human-caused climate change, and the small amount of CO2 (carbon dioxide) and CH4 (methane) in the atmosphere -- in comparison to the real "greenhouse" gas, H2O (water vapor) -- can't possibly be such a cause. The infrared part of the spectrum into which the Earth emits its waste heat back into space is already heavily modified, to near saturation, by water vapor. CO2 and CH4 just add small adjustments.
Natural gas and nuclear have always been the right path, for economic, geopolitical, and (hedge-your-bets) environmental reasons. Natgas emits something like a third of oil and a small fraction of coal's effect. And of course, nuclear emits nothing at all. The total amount of nuclear waste generated since Fermi's first controlled pile experiment in 1942 would fill only a small swimming pool. It's crazy what the deeply cynical, anti-scientific, and (now) corrupt environmentalist movement has gotten politicians, media, and general public to believe. We failed to get to fourth and fifth generation nuclear plants in the US in the 1980s, 90s, and 00s because such progress was derailed by the "anti" progressives. Germany, Britain, Canada, and Australia are now paying an increasingly steep price for such insane policies. We have a chance to do right again now. Let's take it.
Written in 2008, before America's costly, dead-end misadventure with Obama and his narcissistic pseudo-intellectualism:
(Markets in electricity generation are actually a fine thing, increasing competition and lowering prices, if they're not warped by ideologues and their flights of fancy, in defiance of physics, engineering, and economics. And Charlie Munger was no dummy.)
Regarding Pompeo, I recall that in the weekend between the Butler PA assassination attempt and the Republican National Convention, Robert Barnes said that in the day before the shooting Pompeo was circulating amongst the delegates arriving for the convention. And that Pompeo told a meeting of the Iowa delegation that there were big surprises coming and he would be the VP pick. Which seems to imply foreknowledge of what happened in Butler.
That seems enough reason for Trump to not pick Pompeo for any top job, regardless of anything he may hear from Carlson or Don Jr. I have no inside information... just sayin'.

Trump’s cabinet is very pro Israel I think Carlson while he is clearly a Buchananlike anti Semite does not have a lot of influence with Trump
Exhibit number one: JD Vance’s Jewish chief of staff, Jacob Reses
Here is more from JewishInsider on Carlson's influence with Trump and the anti Semites he invites to his show.

Carlson has had little if any influence in Cabinet nominations yet. Obama’s foreign policy was rooted in naïveté anti Semitism and appeasement of Iran

If the Democrats stay with Obama as their boss they will be in the political desert for a long time
Yes. I am waiting for an open rebellion against Obama soon. Many are pissed at him for pushing Kamala Harris.
Though if Rahm Emanuel becomes DNC Chair, all bets are off and Chicago once again owns Washington DC.
Emanuel is no different than Schumer who also sold Israel out
👍👍
Carlson is clearly the Pat Buchanan of this century
"Wherever you find anti-semitism, Satan is not far behind." - William J. McMahon.
Truth speaks
Tucker Carlson has the foreign policy acumen equivalent to that of an 8 year old.
Regarding Pompeo, I recall that in the weekend between the Butler PA assassination attempt and the Republican National Convention, Robert Barnes said that in the day before the shooting Pompeo was circulating amongst the delegates arriving for the convention. And that Pompeo told a meeting of the Iowa delegation that there were big surprises coming and he would be the VP pick. Which seems to imply foreknowledge of what happened in Butler.

How does a deceased Trump tap a VP? Smells like freshly mowed knoll grass.
“freshly mowed knoll grass”!!
That is grrreat!! 👍
"the culmination of a decades-long effort by neocons in the Obama and Biden administrations to remake the Middle East on behalf of Israel."
Neo-Cons in the Obama and Biden administrations? Anyone who thinks/says that is 4 IQ points dumber than a retarded flatworm.
