John Kerry goes all in as climate kook

 The Federalist Wire:

...

John Kerry, the failed Democratic presidential candidate and Biden’s former Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, is back at it, pushing for sweeping policies that would further burden Americans. Late last week, Kerry called for a **climate emergency declaration**, suggesting Americans need to radically change their behavior for the sake of his agenda.

Speaking on Thursday at the John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum after the conclusion of the 29th United Nations climate conference (COP29), Kerry amped up his rhetoric.

“I think, personally, we’re on the brink of needing to declare a climate emergency, which is what we really have,” Kerry proclaimed. “And we need to get people to behave as if this really is a major transitional challenge to the whole planet, to everybody.”

Translation? More government overreach and more policies targeting everyday Americans, while elites like Kerry continue flying private jets to climate conferences.

Kerry didn’t stop there. He argued that the United States has a responsibility to pay for Africa’s energy infrastructure, ignoring that Americans are already struggling with inflation and energy costs.

“People in Africa who don’t have electricity need to choose the right kind of electricity and we need to help them be able to afford it and do it,” Kerry said.

“We have the largest economy in the world — $24 trillion or $23 trillion economy, maybe more by now.”

Of course, Kerry conveniently ignored that U.S. taxpayers already shoulder enormous costs for global initiatives, many of which fail to deliver real results.

I have been on this planet all my life and have not noticed any significant changes in the weather.  It is still hot in the summer and cold in the winter and in between in the fall and spring.  I find the weather rather pleasant most of the year.  I do favor warm weather over cold weather.  I still have unpleasant memories of an overnight bivouac in Marine Corps OCS where there were six inches of snow.  I preferred my time in Vietnam to that.  It is currently 45 and sunny in this part of Texas which is pretty standard for this time of year.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t...

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
