Kathy Hochul's performative art is simply virtue signaling

It hasn't been long enough since I last wrote about Kathy Hochul, New York's Democrat governor.  Just to make sure midwestern conservatives knew she hadn't faded into liberal oblivion, Gov. Hochul reached an agreement with her fellow Democrats to make New York "the first state in the nation to advance zero-emission new homes and buildings beginning in 2025 for small buildings, 2028 for large buildings."

When he announced that he's running for re-election, Joe Biden said "When I ran for president four years ago, I said we are in a battle for the soul of America. And we still are. The question we are facing is whether in the years ahead we have more freedom or less freedom, more rights or fewer." Telling people that they can't use a clean-burning, efficient form of fuel is the taking of a liberty. While Biden hasn't said that he's pushing for the elimination of natural gas lately, it's still his stated goal. This is society-wide suicide ordered by the state and federal governments. Hochul wants to be the first governor that virtue signals that she's the greenest governor in the nation. Joe Biden is planning on running on being the greenest president in U.S. history. They're just missing the fact that renewables can't supply the power we need to power society. Here's a report on Gov. Hochul's agreement with NY Democrats on this proposal:

It's time to let the idiots destroy states like New York, Minnesota and California. If they pass bills that shut down fossil fuel usage, then they should pay a society-wide price. Without paying a price, the stupidity continues. I haven't heard this much BS since the last time Joe Biden spoke:
"I promised New Yorkers we'd make our state more affordable, more livable and safer, and this budget delivers on that promise," Hochul added in a statement. "I am pleased to have reached an agreement with Speaker Heastie and Leader Stewart-Cousins on a transformative budget that improves public safety, transforms our mental health care system, protects our climate and invests in our children's future," she said.
Anyone think that Gov. Hochul and Mayor Adams will make New York State and NYC safer, respectively, is foolish. To modify a Joe Concha phrase, 'There's a better chance of seeing Adam Kinzinger at Mar-a-Lago than Kathy Hochul turning into a fierce crime-fighter.'

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Image
Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
