All We Are Is Leaves in the Wind….

There is a Disturbance in the Farce. I can smell it. I can feel the vibrations emanating from it. There is a certain… je ne sais quoi in all of this, as if – well, Thor is awakening. It’s not exactly wanting to buy the World a Coke and keep it company, you see.
From the WUWT article in which there are so many embedded links it is simpler to provide a link to the WUWT spot:
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi announced Friday that Democrats would create a Select Committee on the Climate Crisis in 2019, which will be headed by Florida Democratic Rep. Kathy Castor.
However, Pelosi’s announcement isn’t placating progressives in her party, such as New York Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who support “Green New Deal” legislation.
“This committee, if it turns out that the rumors about it are true, sound about as useful as a screen door on a submarine,” Ocasio-Cortez spokesman Corbin Trent, told The Hill. (She has a spokesman???)
“As it’s portrayed it’s going to be completely incapable of solving the greatest threat to human kind,” Trent said.
Pelosi, who’s expected to be elected House speaker in 2019, said there’s “tremendous pressure” for Democrats to make fighting global warming a central part of their agenda in the new year.
Pelosi made her announcement amid a government shutdown after she flew thousands of miles to a luxurious Hawaiian hotel where she was spotted Thursday, according to reports.
The creation of the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis is one way Pelosi plans on satisfying progressives without angering incoming committee chairs, like New Jersey Democratic Rep. Frank Pallone, who want to advance their own climate bills.
“It is with great enthusiasm that I appoint Congresswoman Kathy Castor as the Chair of our new Select Committee on the Climate Crisis,” Pelosi said in a statement issued Friday.
“She will bring great experience, energy and urgency to the existential threat of the climate crisis,” Pelosi said. “This committee will be critical to the entire Congress’s mission to respond to the urgency of this threat, while creating the good-paying, green jobs of the future.” – WUWT Article
Now, before you go all “toldja so” on this news, let us reflect solemnly on the potential this has for unifying the Old Guard Democrats – those in middle age or higher – with the Young Far Leftreds and bringing them together. The possibilities for conjugality and united efforts toward this goal are bountiful and endless. There is, indeed, a New Hope on the horizon…
So, before you get all jiggy about potentialities for this newly rising relationship, try to look at it the way I do.
And have a Very Happy and Joyous New Year!!!!

This should be called, “Operation Don Quixote”. Military involvement should get a medal with Don Quixote and a windmill. 🙄
I thought that nighttime artillery practice was funnier than a cat with a bag of catnip.
Artillery…The King of Battle…Bringing Dignity to what would otherwise be considered an ugly brawl. Thanks for the post Ex. Some of those pieces seemed to have a very light charge.
Speaking of ugly, be difficult to decide which is worse Chuckie or Granny Nan. Maybe the Country will get real lucky and the old school socialist demoncats will get together with the young left wing socialist demoncats and start a feeding frenzy on each other. Still can’t wrap my head around why they want to destroy our Country.
Easy answer as to why the want to destroy our country. They hate what it was and is. They want to turn it into a socialist dictatorship where everyone is equally poor except for the D-rat elite who will continue to live in their walled compounds.
They don’t like real freedom. It scares them.
“Maybe the Country will get real lucky and the old school socialist demoncats will get together with the young left wing socialist demoncats and start a feeding frenzy on each other.”
That is exactly what I think will happen, if you must know. The older, more experienced and less aggressive Demos will see the younger set as a threat to their seat of power and a massive struggle will ensue, one which may not die down for several decades.
I wish Thanos would come along and make all the libs disappear. That would save the planet and a lot of resources.
They do use a lot of oxygen, don’t they?
If they were all moved to a different planet, we could – dare I say it? – save the whales!!!!!
Move them all to Guam and watch that bitch tip over into the ocean. Or sink. I forget which it was the moron said it would do.
Chief, I would never consider doing that to the Guamaians. They don’t deserve it. Now if they were sent to an island off the coast of Antarctica, one of those with a penguin colony, that would work for me.
Spent three years at the Navy Hospital on Guam. Great duty assignment. If into fishing, diving or snorkeling, it’s the place to go. Tell you what, though, that place is hot. It’s usually high 80s or low 90s by 1200 and the humidity is high. Sweat city. Base housing is really nice. We had a 2/1 overlooking the ocean.
Plus, they exhale all that “evil” CO2.
Take the one topic that barely shows up on polls, with Health Care, the Economy, and Immigration topping the charts.
Brilliant.
Gallup Poll
I dislike Gallup the least, as far as polls go. YMMV.
And somehow, the health care issues are beginning to resolve themselves, aren’t they?
When those Socialists/Communists start giving up their high flying jets, stretch limos, 187 room mansions and other resource wasting perks and start wearing bearskins and living in caves, then I’ll believe them.
Until then, FUCK THEM and their “the Earth has a fevah and I want to tax your asses off to fix it” message.

I’m with you, Senior Chief. That this hypocrisy isn’t pointed out in every “news” story about these conferences shows how biased they are.
At some point recently, Mann admitted that it was a computer error on his part, but it got walloping loads of attention, and he stuck with it. It also brought in scads of cash in the form of government grants, up to $3.9 million, which UPenn got 50% of.
The whole thing was baloney, and he has stsuck to it, because after all, if he recanted, he’d have to give back all that money and UPenn would have to cough it up, too, and that’s about 20 years’ worth of multimillion dollar cash grants, nontaxable income, that is at stake here.
I’m sure you can understand his attitude about it, and why he won’t change.
Always, always, always – always follow the money.
Always, Always, follow the money.
I laughed my ass off when that French documentary film crew showed up at a “climate change denier” convention, and there were 3 dudes speaking and about a hundred people in the audience, all over the age of 70, and the French dudes and dudette claimed that they were following the money of big oil.
I am still laughing. How the fork can they be so forking stupid. Don’t they know that all big oil companies pay climate change funds to placate the climate fanatics?
There is a reason why 582 of all 586 billionaires in the US are Democrats.
You can fork with the Republitards all you want. You can say and do whatever you want about them. But if you fork the D-rats, you have a totally high price to pay. There is no forking around with the Drats. They will bury you.
Every motheforker in the film industry knows that.
Not to mention the private jets they take to and from these conferences where they sneer and tell us to eat bean sprouts and ride the bus!
Nancy Pelosi. So ugly that getting head from her counts as dirty anal.
…aaaand, Old Manchu wins the internet today!
Hard to laugh while trying to not throw up tho!
Nancy Pelosi, where erections go to die.
If the demorats get their way and stop fossil fuel usage, then nobody will be able to get to work and do things oily in the morning.
Bad Jeff! Bad, bad Jeff! Hit the floor buffer right now.
Speaking of floor buffing, where is Yef?
Yef is probably at a party. He’s been at instructor school since summer.
Good God, they’re gonna let him TEACH????
What?
I am an expert in leadership. I don’t lead form the rear.
But what do you teach?
Nevermind. I was responding to the wrong question.
Disregard. Nothing happened here.
Do not read anything i posted today.
Why tje hell i cannot erase shitt?
“Why tje hell i cannot erase shitt?”
It’s just like life. It’s out there and you can’t take it back.
Ex-PH2
You have me on compartment cleaning for 3 months?. Well at least it’s not the dreaded mail Buoy watch.
Happy New Year Ex.
Happy New Year to you, too, and may ever longhaired cat in your neighborhood show up on your doorstep looking for food.
Climate change is another word for weather. The dummycrats want to use it simply as another means of controlling us peons. What they really should be pushing in the House are term limits. I once thought the American public should be the ones to determine who gets elected, but it appears there are too many on the government dole and they are going to vote for the dummycrats, as will other special groups who think the dummycrats feel their pain. Folks, the dummycrat party does not give two shits about you; it’s all about money and control. Your views may vary. The RINOs aren’t much better.
Term limits, please.
To build on that, we need to go back to the idea of conflict of interest. If your main source of income is UNEARNED support from the govt (No Lars, pensions, workers comp, etc don’t count, they were all earned), then you CANNOT vote until you are no longer on the dole…If that happened, I predict the dims would never win another state or nationwide election…
Yeah, SSRI IS taxable income, paid out in retirement. Nothing tax-free about it. It’s taxed at 50% of annual total distributed.
