    As we know, there are lots of self righteous green zealots on social media platforms who like to shout their green saintliness.

    Someone cleaned their dog bowl and posted a picture on social media. Trivial in the extreme so I did an AI search (lots of dreaded co2) myself of the co2 consequences.

    Apparently that comment and photo they posted would be uploaded to a data centre where it would live indefinitely unless deleted.

    That action costs 10KG of CO2 per year. That is equivalent of driving 100Km. Where all the water, electricity and other resources is coming from to sustain peoples trivial utterances needs to be explained.

    Here are some more examples of CO2 emissions that will be incurred by social medias fans many of whom will shout how green they are but have no idea of the emissions they are producing.

    Trump loves nothing more than going outside the ‘window’ of acceptable discourse and seeing the ‘window’ move and his position become the new normal. He did it on transgender issues, he did it on immigration, he did it on energy, he did it on climate change, and he’ll keep on doing it until January of 2029. Even his lieutenants do it because they have no fear the boss will leave them hanging. Marco Rubio did it just yesterday when some Hamas-lover tried to shame him into calling for another ceasefire in Gaza.

    “Senator Rubio will you call for a ceasefire in Gaza?” Benjamin asked in the ambush interview format that Code Pink frequently utilizes.

    “No I will not,” said Rubio. He began to elaborate, saying “On the contrary,” but as Benjamin continued to speak the Senator got right up to the Code Pink camera and asked, “Are you filming this? I want you guys to get this.”

    “I want Israel to destroy every element of Hamas they can get their hands on,” he said, pointing his finger emphatically at the camera. “These people are vicious animals who did horrifying crimes, and I hope you guys post that, because that’s my position.”

    “And what about the civilians that are being killed every day,” asked Benjamin as Rubio turned to leave.

    “I blame Hamas for that,” said Rubio quickly turning back to the activists. “Hamas should stop hiding behind civilians, putting civilians in the way. Hamas knew that this was going to lead to this. So Hamas must stop building their military installations underneath hospitals, underneath civilian –”

    “So you don’t care that 15,000 have died, you don’t care about the babies that are being killed every day,” said Benjamin, an avid supporter of Democrat Rep. Rashida Tlaib.

    “Absolutely I care,” Rubio said. “I care, I think it’s horrifying, I think it’s terrible, and I think Hamas is a hundred percent to blame. That’s what I think.”

    “Make sure you post that please,” he said before stepping away.

    That kind of courage to speak harsh truths plainly and without any weasel words while being confronted by a hostile interlocutor doesn’t just happen. It’s a culture that comes from working for a boss speaks plainly and encourages and expects his minions to do the same. Rubio used to be a consummate slick ‘politician’ who was working his way up through the establishment. But over the last decade of working with Trump, he’s completely changed his manner. Ditto for JD Vance. It’s refreshing to have politicians who will plant a flag and stand by it no matter which way the wind blows.

      Rubio is a foreign asset.

      He was vetted by Larry E!!ıson who wrote about it to an !$rælı official and sent Rubio 5million dollars for his campaign fund. All revealed by email correspondence that Drop Site News exposed.

      By the way, a ceasefire was agreed last October.

      Since then I$rl has killed more than a thousand Gazans. On the other side, last I heard there were 4 dead soldiers.

    Again, woke energy doesn’t work.

    Early July blackouts in NYC.

    And the legacy media barely mention it.

    Are we even allowed to say the word “blackout” any more?

    Rolling Blackouts Hit New York

    July 18, 2026/ Francis Menton

    At least since New York passed its Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA) back in 2019, it has been clear that trouble has been coming for New York’s electrical grid. The CLCPA effectively prohibits construction of new fossil fuel power plants, even natural gas plants; and the old ones are aging and are forbidden to be replaced or upgraded. Supposedly, lots of wind and solar generators were going to be added to the system. But those have been slow to come and, more importantly, can’t be counted on to generate anything when you need them. In addition, new construction of such things has now been stalled by the end of federal subsidies. At some point the lines of diminishing reliable generation and increasing demand would have to cross.

    However, here at this website I have held off predicting imminent grid failure. The reason is that I don’t want to be the boy who cried wolf. Our grid operators are competent people, and they have a lot of tricks up their sleeves to hold things together even in difficult circumstances. In a pinch, they can start up every ancient “peaker” plant, and then import some power from PJM, or New England, or even from Canada. Despite New York’s hostile energy environment, they could get lucky and avoid blackouts for at least several more years.

    So I think it is important to report that on this past July 2 and 3, Con Edison ran out of options and imposed rolling blackouts in parts of the North Bronx and Southern Westchester County.

    You haven’t heard about this? It’s another example of the legacy media burying an inconvenient story. Checking to see what the New York Times has to say about these blackouts, I find just one sentence in the sixth paragraph of a July 3 article that is otherwise reporting on the heat wave that hit that weekend. The sentence in question reads, “The heat also put stress on power grids, contributing to scattered outages in New Jersey, New York and Ohio for tens of thousands of utility customers on Thursday, according to the tracking website PowerOutage.us.” The heat put “stress” on the grid, leading to “scattered outages.” That’s it. No mention in the Times that the blackouts on that day in New York were intentionally imposed, or that the ongoing degradation of grid reliability had anything to do with it.
