Democrats are sounding hysterical over Joe Manchin’s continued refusal to back the BBB socialist bill. Their hysteria is mostly manufactured since the real goal is to turn us to communism with a short stop at socialism. The usual players were the loudest.
The Squad described killing BBB as “devastating for the planet.”
Far-Left Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) raised the alarms over the climate aspect of Build Back Better’s sudden death, calling it a “climate disaster.”
“Losing Build Back Better would be a climate disaster. We must power everything with renewable energy. I won’t stop fighting for this vision,” Merkley said.
That we still don’t have 50 votes tells you how far we’ve fallen. Losing Build Back Better would be a climate disaster. We must power everything with renewable energy. I won’t stop fighting for this vision.

The Biden administration billed its “Built Back Better” climate provisions as the “largest effort to combat climate change in American history.”
The bill destroys fossil fuels with nothing much to replace them:
- Significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions — 50%-52% lower than 2005 levels — by 2030. That means it has to start IMMEDIATELY!
- Offer “substantial consumer rebates” for families who transition to renewable energy [Because we have endless powers of redistribution and printing of money?]
- Ensure that “clean energy technology … will be built in the United States” [ban everything else like they are doing in NY. All new buildings must meet net zero consumption.]
- Invest in “coastal restoration, forest management, and soil conservation.” It bans ALL offshore drilling.
The plan also supports environmental justice, aimed at anti-whiteness.
ONE OF THE BEST RESPONSES YET
As radio host Hugh Hewitt said, “if climate change presented such a grave threat to humanity and the giant space rock called “Earth” that scientists estimate has been floating in perfect gravitational distance from the sun for billions of years, then Democrats would have advocated for legislation that only addressed climate change — not a bill promoting a partisan social agenda.”
“If this was true Senate Ds would have stripped everything out of #BBB except climate-related measures and added in a huge subsidy for nuclear power plants and research,” Hewitt pointed out.
“Voters are not stupid Senator,” he added. “They don’t agree w/ you, and the actions of the @SenateDems belie your urgency.”

China and India are the biggest polluters in the world. Why not make them behave instead of punishing the U.S? We’ve done more for the planet than all other countries combined!
The last Global Warming event was during the mid-Holocene period, 5,000-7,000 years ago (according to ncdc.noaa.gov). So why were all those pesky humans causing global warming? Must have been from riding their camels and chariots.
One of the most overlooked renewable energies in America is burning wood. Here in the Pine Belt almost everyone has a wood burning stove or fireplace and it just drives the Environmental Wackos crazy. The best part for those of use with land is the wood is just the dead trees and the ones damaged by storms that needed to be removed anyway. Rural people tend to live in harmony with Mother Nature instead of having an insane idea that we can tell her what to do.
Killing Build Back Broke is not “devastating for the planet”, it’s devastating for the Democrat Party since that was how they were going to pay back their handlers for getting them elected. The number one reason I voted for President Trump was he financed much of his campaign and didn’t owe anyone when he took office. President Trump was basically too rich to be bribed!
The American Economy needs Cheap Reliable Energy and Manufacturing. To do that, we need Fossil Fuels until we learn how to harness Nuclear Fusion. I bet there wasn’t a dime in Build Back Broke for that, much less money to fund Nuclear Power Plants in remote areas so they aren’t a potential danger to anyone. Imagine Super Reactors in remote Alaska where cooling issues are no problem at all of them shipping hydrogen by pipeline to the Lower 48 to power Hydrogen Fueled cars. The problem is Liberals have no Imagination when it comes to science.
