Huh. Washington Post says there’s pressure growing to ban gas stoves, which we were told was a hoax Here’s how it went down: The news broke earlier this month that the US Consumer Product Safety Commission was considering a ban on gas stoves, which (allegedly) cause childhood asthma. They immediately tried to walk that back, saying a ban was never on the table and the idea was only “floated” by Commissioner Richard Trumka Jr. in an interview with Bloomberg. Suddenly it became a culture war thing. The Washington Post reported that it was Republicans who had “thrust gas stoves … into the culture wars.” “Morning Joe” mocked Republicans for their “meltdown over gas stoves.” California State Senator Scott Wiener got the last laugh, pulling up a chart showing that gas stoves are a blue state thing; the hicks in the flyover states already use electric stoves. But again, even though it was Trumka who brought it up, WaPo says it was Republicans who made it a front in the culture wars. Now the Washington Post is saying pressure is growing to ban natural gas and has experts explain how to swap out your gas-burning stove.......LOL https://twitchy.com/brettt-3136/2023/01/24/washington-post-says-theres-pressure-growing-to-ban-gas-stoves-which-we-were-told-was-a-hoax/

That explains a lot, doesn’t it? .

Meanwhile, Back at the Tucker Carlson thread, everything was going well..

In the annals of the United States Congress, I doubt there has ever been a more appropriately named bill for a more appropriate and necessary reason than the bill proposed by Missouri Republican Senator Josh Hawley on Tuesday. The name of the bill, which seeks to prevent lawmakers and their spouses from trading stocks and other securities on which they have privileged information? The PELOSI Act. Priceless. Even more brilliant, the acronym “PELOSI” stands for the “Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments Act.” Is that top-shelf stuff, or what? And comedy gold to boot. Here’s Hawley: Members of Congress and their spouses shouldn’t be using their position to get rich on the stock market – today l’m introducing legislation to BAN stock trading & ownership by members of Congress. I call it the PELOSI Act. https://redstate.com/mike_miller/2023/01/25/the-pelosi-act-josh-hawley-introduces-bill-named-after-former-speaker-and-its-just-priceless-n693547

Thanks Joe.

Truth Alert ! (some of you should avert your eyes) Your view on whether what he is accomplishing is good or bad may vary, but the way DeSantis is racking up wins and forcing companies/organizations to back down on key cultural issues is unprecedented for a Governor.

What Would Happen if They Held a Voter Suppression Election and No Voters Got Suppressed? by Rick Moran Last January, Joe Biden set the Democratic base ablaze with the incendiary charge that Republicans were suppressing the votes of minorities. “Jim Crow 2.0 is about two insidious things: voter suppression and election subversion,” Biden told a crowd at Atlanta University. “It’s no longer about who gets to vote; it’s about making it harder to vote. It’s about who gets to count the vote and whether your vote counts at all.” “It’s not hyperbole; this is a fact.” At the time, it was a supposition, not a fact, to claim that the Republican election reforms would suppress the black vote. And as it turns out, it certainly was hyperbole. https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/rick-moran/2023/01/24/what-would-happen-if-they-held-a-voter-suppression-election-and-no-voters-got-suppressed-n1664622 Always illuminating to look back on what Joey said and what is the actual truth.

Schiff, Swalwell stamp their feet in rage at being booted from the House intel committee by Monica Showalter House Speaker Kevin McCarthy made good on his promise to boot two Democrats, Rep. Adam Schiff, and Rep Eric Swalwell, from the House intelligence committee based on their dishonesty. It couldn't come soon enough. Thomas Lifson has a nice piece describing what a pleasant surprise it is to see this coming from McCarthy. What's fun about this is the foot-stamping rage we are seeing in reaction to the measure. https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2023/01/schiff_swalwell_stamp_their_feet_in_rage_at_being_booted_from_the_house_intel_committee.html Two big blubbering babies who started something and don't like the results.

Fired Corrupt FBI Agent Peter Strzok Shows that He Is on the Wrong Side of the Law Again by Joe Hoft Peter Strzok, the corrupt FBI Agent who was fired, is at it again. He still thinks he is relevant after his numerous corrupt actions while at the FBI. Strzok started his career long ago under the Clinton gang. Strzok was part of a group of corrupt actors who took over and FBI and continued a long history of massive corruption at that entity. Strzok eventually ended up at the FBI when President Trump was sworn in. He was a key member of the corrupt Mueller gang and the Trump-Russia collusion scandal. After years of lies from the media and criminal actions by the FBI we now know that the entire sham was created by the corrupt Hillary campaign and continued by the corrupt FBI Deep State, which Strzok was a member. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/01/fired-corrupt-fbi-agent-peter-strzok-claims-tweet-president-trumps-legal-actions-classified-documents-worse-felonies-committed-biden/ .

WARNING: TRUTH ALERT. (feel free to disregard if it challenges your bias) Here It Is – The Smoking Gun: The 2 Point Email of Classified Information from His Father that Hunter Biden Sent to Burisma Board Member in April 2014 by Jim Hoft As reported earlier by Cristina Laila – According to emails uncovered from the “Laptop from Hell,” Hunter Biden sent his business partner Devon Archer a very detailed email on Ukraine on April 13 12, 2014 – just one week before Joe Biden visited Ukraine to meet with then-Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk. It appears that Hunter Biden was emailing Devon Archer information he received from a briefing his father and Vice President Joe Biden held earlier. Or the information may have come directly from top-secret documents. Then VP Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, and Devon Archer (on left) – Archer worked on the Board of Burisma. To Devon Archer: I have to go to Houston with Beau tmrw for MD Anderson check up. Some thoughts after doing some research. And some further thoughts on organization going forward. ( Poroshenko appears to be the likely next President. Determining our teams relationship with him is important. He is credible with the west and by all accounts a true reformer (by Uk standards). 2. Some sort of decentralization will likely occur in the East. If it doesn’t the Russians will continue to escalate there destabilization campaign, which could lead to a full scale take over of the eastern region most critically Donetsk. The strategic value is to create a land bridge for RU to Crimea. 3. That won’t directly affect Burisma holdings but it will limit future Uk exploration and utilization of offshore opportunities in particular. 4. It will also result in further destabilization of Uk nationally and for whatever govt is in power. And the US will respond with even stronger sanctions. Those sanctions will threaten the tenuous support of the EU which does not have the political will to incur steep energy price increases. 5. Which will result in further price increases on RU gas to the UK. (6.) The IMF loan guarantees will allow the Uks to weather the economic impact, but the required reforms to Uk public subsidies will weaken the new President. 7. There will be enormous pressure on Burisma to lower prices for the national good. Even if the company takes a hit in profits it would seem imprudent to raise prices in convert with RU price gouging. 8. Burisma has an opportunity here to play the hero if it ignores the artificial market value of their product and plays to the national interest. 9. Kazakstan could play a pivotal role by providing gas at rates lower than what the RUs are asking but I doubt they would want to poke the Bear. 10. The pipelines across Uk are the key to all of this. But if the Uks shut down the pipeline they also shut down 60% of their energy supply and put a strangle on EU supplies from RU which the EU will never accept (b/c they are pussies) 11. There is no immediate supplier solution to replace RU. Even if Burisma increased output from their reserves by 100% it would – 1, take at least two years and 2, Uk would still be about 35% short of their needed gas supplies. (12) Our guy needs to set himself up as the anti- Victor Pinchuk (coal and steel oligarch- pro Russian Yanukuvich supporter). (13) The best way to weather the storm btw now an elections is to throw all in with the chocolate king. Even if he looses to Tymosheko (unlikely per polls as of today) Poroshenko is a safe ally that could help protect him from the vultures of the moment. Additionally you me and Alex should reconnect with the boxer and help gain his support of our guy. 14. And it is the moment (btw now and Elections) that he needs to weather. If he is seen as unfairly profiting from the RU induced price spike things could turn against him fast. 15. The Burisma website or press releases should talk about how Burisma as the largest independent is committed to supplying Uk industry with as much power at a fair price as possible during this crisis with an emphasis on utilizing the best technologies and world class team to ensure increased production and domestic delivery post haste. 16. We can actually be of real value here. Developing relationships, bringing US expertise to the company, supplying strategic advice on politics and geopolitical risk assesment. (17) BS can actually have direct discussions at state, energy and NSC. They can devise a media plan and arrange for legal protections and mitigate US domestic negative press regarding the current leadership if need be. 18. The announcement of my guys upcoming travels should be characterized as part of our advice and thinking- but what he will say and do is out of our hands. In other words it could be a really good thing or it could end up creating too great an expectation. We need to temper expectations regarding that visit. 19. We need to ask for long term agreement and across the board participation. This is a huge step for us that could easily become very complicated. And if we are not protected financially regardless of the outcome we could find ourselves frozen out of a lot of current and future opportunities. 20. To that end they need to know in no uncertain terms that we will not and cannot intervene directly with domestic policy makers, and that we need to abide by FARA and an other US laws in the strictest sense across the board. (21) The contract should begin now- not after the upcoming visit of my guy. That should include a retainer in the range of 25k p/m w/ additional fees where appropriate for more in depth work to go to BS for our protection. Complete separate from our respective deals re board participation. (22) Buy a cell phone from a 7/11 or CVS tmw and ill do the same. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/01/smoking-gun-20-point-email-classified-information-father-hunter-biden-sent-burisma-board-member-april-2014/

McCarthy puts his conservative critics on Rules panel in the wake of Speaker fight Speaker Kevin McCarthy (Calif.) appointed two of his conservative critics to the House Rules Committee on Monday following this month’s protracted Speaker’s race, when the GOP leader agreed to increase the number of hard-line Republicans on the panel. McCarthy appointed GOP Reps. Ralph Norman (S.C.) and Chip Roy (Texas) to the powerful panel, giving them a seat on the committee that controls how bills are debated on the House floor after the pair voted against McCarthy’s Speakership bid on the first 11 ballots earlier this month. https://thehill.com/homenews/house/3827364-mccarthy-puts-his-conservative-critics-on-rules-panel-in-the-wake-of-speaker-fight/ .

Wow. Serious Answer . Because I have never heard that bolded part. So. . . . . . . . . . I googled. https://www.google.com/search?q=tucker+carlson+i+don't+believe+50+of+what+i+say+is+wrong&oq=Tucker+Carlson+I+don't+believe+50%+of+what+I+say&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j33l3.33306j0j8&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#ip=1 and guess what gang ? The Hawk is exaggerating to make a point again. Shocker no ? I was suspicious when (as usual) he didn't provide a link to his 'proclamations' He testified that he didn't believe that Trump had been cheated out of the 2020 election, so you simply extended it from there. Serious question: Did you listen to the 11 minute clip, before you responded discounting it ? Don't bother. The answer is obvious. . ADDED: I wanted to be fair about it, so I went back and googled "Tucker Carlson, under oath" STILL no 50% statement. https://www.google.com/search?q=tucker+carlson+under+oath&sxsrf=AJOqlzVdo_jLqmuESLy4ziSSbSxa2gDjCg%3A1674664097808&ei=oVjRY_ntMMuoptQP_8W6kAk&ved=0a .

It’s just another example of Roundy's blind complaint about Desantis because his actions hurts his feelings. Sad little snowflake, really. 😄 Meanwhile, even though this IS the practice throughout most of America, if Gov. Desantis supports it, it must be authoritarian.........lol https://www.outkick.com/wacko-leftist-lady-calls-desantis-authoritarian-for-opposing-cell-phones-in-classroom/ On Monday, DeSantis took a stance against cell phone use in the classroom: “Why are these students on their phones during class all the time? […] They should not be always on their phones, being distracted from the lessons.” Slow down, Mussolini. The governor prefaced his comments by saying he supports students having their phones on them during recess. He just prefers they don’t scroll TikTok during their arithmetic session. And that’s where Ms. Ben-Ghiat draws the line. She calls DeSantis’ stance on cell phones “dangerous,” revealing his true “authoritarian” fascinations: DeSantis has come out against the racial and sexual indoctrination of school children. He opposes them using their phones as a distraction during lectures. At any other point in history, that’d make DeSantis a man of common sense. Yet, in 2023, it makes him a ruthless authoritarian in the minds of certifiably wacko leftists like Ruthy. .

THIS IS THE WAY. .
