Let's appreciate how John Kerry wants us to sacrifice for climate change while he takes his private jet back to his mansion

john kerry jet
Private jets emit 40 times as much carbon emissions per passenger in comparison to commercial jetliners.
America might be replacing faith in God for faith in the State, but it seems the false teachers of both religions look strangely the same.

Take John Kerry, appointed by King Biden as the High Priest of Climate, as an example. Like the best prosperity preachers, he goes on stage and asks for your money, your unwavering faith, and your sacrifice...

And then takes his private jet back to his $12 million oceanside mansion:


Yep, John Kerry owns a Gulfstream jet that allows him to comfortably guzzle a year's worth of your minivan's consumption in a single cross-country trip.

Comment: Kerry's jet emitted an estimated 166 metric tons of carbon last year. The perfect amount of hypocrisy for a proper climate czar.

Total injustice: Ex-FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith given probation after guilty plea in John Durham probe - no jail time

Former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith was sentenced to 12 months probation and 400 hours of community service Friday after pleading guilty to making a false statement in the first criminal case arising from Special Counsel John Durham's investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia probe.

Clinesmith in August pleaded guilty to "one count of making a false statement within both the jurisdiction of the executive branch and judicial branch of the U.S. government, an offense that carries a maximum term of imprisonment of five years and a fine of up to $250,000."

U.S. District Judge for the District of Columbia James Boasberg on Friday during Clinesmith's sentencing hearing said Clinesmith had suffered by losing his job and standing in the eye of a media hurricane.


Comment: Poor guy. That typically happens to criminals. It is not a justification for light treatment.


Boasberg gave him 12 months probation, 400 hours of community service, and no fine.

Government prosecutors had been asking for Clinesmith to spend several months in jail, but Clinesmith's defense had been advocating for probation only.

"[He] lost his job, and his government service is what has given his life much of its meaning," Boasberg said Friday. "He was also earning $150,000 a year and who knows where the earnings go now. He may be disbarred or suspended from the practice of law, you may never be able to work in the national security field again. These are substantial penalties."

Comment: Meanwhile, this guy is probably going to prison for memes:

President Putin's Davos speech defined the World War C era

The Russian leader's speech at this year's virtual Davos Summit thoroughly articulated the challenges and opportunities of the World War C era, the author's term for referring to the full-spectrum paradigm-changing processes catalyzed by the international community's uncoordinated efforts to contain COVID-19.

A Speech For The Ages


President Putin gave what can be regarded as the defining speech of the World War C era during his virtual address at this year's Davos Summit hosted by his close friend Klaus Schwab, the founder of the World Economic Forum (WEF). The Russian leader intriguingly disclosed from the get-go that he first met the famous globalist in 1992 and regularly attended his organization's annual gatherings all throughout the 1990s. Their last face-to-face meeting was in Putin's hometown of Saint Petersburg in November 2019, during which time Schwab gifted him his book about the Fourth Industrial Revolution. President Putin evidently read it in full since he even cited this controversial concept during his address. All Russia watchers should read his speech in full at the official Kremlin website if they have the time since this world leader thoroughly articulated the challenges and promises of the WorldWarC era, the author's term for referring to the full-spectrum paradigm-changing processes catalyzed by the international community's uncoordinated efforts to contain COVID-19.

Even in victory, liberals brand all Trump supporters 'white supremacists', not caring that this slander is tearing America apart

Recent testimonies from 'survivors of the Trump regime' are creating the false narrative that half the US is irredeemably racist, but it is those misguided views, not the MAGA crowd, that pose the real danger to the republic.

Ever since 2016, US conservatives have been subjected not only to the biased news reporting of an activist media, but to the jeremiads of liberals who are forced, as cruel fate would have it, to share breathing space with those knuckle-dragging troglodytes known as 'Trump supporters.'

Heart-wrenching tales of familial shame and betrayal lurk just below headlines that leave little to the imagination. Gems of journalism such as "'Wives of the Deplorables' Discuss Life with Husbands Who Support Trump" ("What's the a-hole-in-chief saying today?"), and "The Very Real Pain of Having Trump Supporters as Parents" ("...if my parents supported a racist, misogynistic human as president of the United States, I must have some of that within me too"). Not to be outdone in the scramble to the unfathomable depths of dementia, Time magazine recently published a full-length feature titled "It Makes Me Sick With Grief: Trump's Presidency Divided Families. What Happens to Them Now?" ("Soren... is mystified as to why [his Trump-loving parents] couldn't see the same homophobic and racist behavior and instincts that he saw").

You get the idea.

The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating SpaceX over whether the company discriminates against non-U.S. citizens in its hiring practices and said Elon Musk's company is stonewalling a subpoena for information, court documents revealed Thursday.

The DOJ's Immigrant and Employee Rights Section received a complaint of employment discrimination from a non-U.S. citizen claiming that the company discriminated against him based on his citizenship status.

"The charge alleges that on or about March 10, 2020, during the Charging Party's interview for the position of Technology Strategy Associate, SpaceX made inquiries about his citizenship status and ultimately failed to hire him for the position because he is not a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident," DOJ attorney Lisa Sandoval wrote in a court document filed Thursday. The document was a request for a judge to order SpaceX to comply with an administrative subpoena for documents related to how the company hires.

Comment: Some are speculating that Musk has made a few comments recently that have provoked the establishment:


Here is Musk again, today, weighing in on the market intervention by Wall Street to protect financial speculators:

Anti-Trump group The Lincoln Project says it is going to "sue the s***" out of Rudy Giuliani, after the attorney for former President Donald Trump claimed the clan of former Republicans had ties to those who incited violence at the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol by a mob of Trump supporters.

What are the details?

Giuliani floated the allegations on the show of former Trump advisor Steve Bannon, who was pardoned by the former president in the 24 hours before he left office.

"The Red Wave": Former President Trump to make a major political comeback

According to reports, President Trump is working with top GOP officials to make a return to the political arena. In an interview Thursday, long-time Trump adviser Corey Lewandowski said the President is actively recruiting candidates for the 2022 elections with plans to hold Democrats and some Republicans accountable.

Lewandowski went on to confirm President Trump has access to hundreds of millions of dollars raised during his campaign last year and he intends to use that money to pull control of government away from Democrats. Allies of Joe Biden are reportedly concerned considering a number of top Trump officials have held on to their positions and may assist the upcoming red wave.

His comments came as President Trump was meeting with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy in South Florida. According to Save America, the President's leadership PAC, the two discussed the GOP's efforts to retake control of the House in 2022.

"Republicans are always focused on putting the people first before politics and we will continue to do that work," stated McCarthy. "In this next Congress, we might not be able to schedule the floor, but we are going to run the floor."

Capitol police chief calls for permanent fencing, back-up security

Acting U.S. Capitol Police Chief Yogananda Pittman on Thursday called for the Capitol to have permanent fencing and back-up security to prevent another riot.

"In light of recent events, I can unequivocally say that the vast improvements to the physical security infrastructure must be made to include permanent fencing, and the availability of ready, back-up forces in close proximity to the Capitol," Pittman said in a statement.

The Capitol police, along with other officials and organizations, have been reviewing the events of Jan. 6 and assessing the security of the Capitol building.

A seven-foot security fence was erected the day after the Capitol was overrun by hundreds of supporters of former President Trump. Police were severely outnumbered and the riot left five people dead, including a police officer.

While the security fencing has been up around the Capitol since Jan. 7, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) said Thursday that she did not want fencing or extra troops to become a "long-term fixture" in the city.

Comment: Alarms bells everywhere! - according to Pelosi and AOC:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-California) has demanded additional security for lawmakers, citing threats from "within" the House, while the temporary fence around the Capitol is on the way to becoming permanent.

"We will probably need a supplemental [budget] for more security for members when the enemy is within the House of Representatives, a threat that members are concerned about in addition to what is happening outside. It means we have members of Congress who want to bring guns on the floor and have threatened violence on other members of Congress." she said, not clarifying what those specific threats of violence have been.


Some 5,000 National Guard troops - of the 25,000 initially deployed in Washington, DC to protect Joe Biden's inauguration from threats that never materialized - are staying in the US capital indefinitely as well.

The downfall of Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte

The reason Mark Rutte had to step down is the big scandal about the children's allowance affair. The entire team of ministers stepped down after exposing the affair. For years, thousands of parents were incorrectly classified by the Dutch tax authorities as fraudsters. They received child benefits, but according to the department of Social Affairs, they were not entitled to them but actually they were! So, often they had to repay thousands of euros, and some of them lost their houses, their children, and their lives. But this was not the only crime of this government, or therefore the one that Prime Minister Mark Rutte committed. He already had to step down when it was known that he and his government supported terrorists in Syria, or the MH-17 cover-up and the criminal acts done by his party members. These include corruption and fraud, as well as Minister of Foreign of Affairs Halbe Zijlstra lying about his visit to Russian President Vladimir Putin, which never took place.

Pro-western liberal, anti-migrant nationalist, or political opportunist: Who exactly is Russian opposition figure Alexey Navalny?

After his alleged poisoning, accusations that the Kremlin was responsible, then his immediate arrest on returning home, Russian opposition figure Alexey Navalny is enjoying notoriety like never before. But who is he, exactly?

Media portrayals of the Moscow street-protest leader have ranged from comparing him to a western-style liberal, to a far-right radical racist to a persecuted freedom fighter. While many Russians from all points along the political spectrum support his investigations into corruption at the highest levels of government, there is little agreement on what he actually stands for or how he'd act if he were somehow thrust into a leadership role.

A former student at America's Yale University, Navalny first gained international prominence in 2011, over a decade after he first became active in politics. Since then, he has been arrested on numerous occasions, received two suspended sentences, and participated in a Moscow mayoral election. He is well known for opposing President Vladimir Putin and exposing corruption, but what are his political positions? What does he believe in, other than simply removing Putin?
