    Texas Can Survive as the Lone Star State

    “Most importantly, Texas has oil, gas, and refining capacity and would continue to produce and refine fossil fuels. Without Texas, the United States would not be able to wage war, lacking the energy to fuel its tanks. Texas could stand on its own, and to ensure energy, other Red States would join hands against Washington.

    There is rising sentiment toward separation due to the Biden Administration’s abuse of executive orders. The Biden Administration thinks executive orders are the way to change the character of the United States without the people’s consent. Truman seized all the steel mills without statutory authority using an executive order that the Supreme Court reversed. We have so many violations using executive decrees without statutory authority, circumventing Congress and the people. The abuse of this power is causing severe discontent. People are talking about separating, even in Florida. When historically a centralized government seeks total control, it collapses like the Soviet Union. Most people do not know that Lenin wanted to copy the United States, whereas each province retained its sovereignty. Stalin poisoned Lenin and his wife and usurped total central control. Biden has endangered the survivability of the United States. Washington cannot override the sovereignty of the states.”

      Don’t worry, the Democrats’ love for executive orders will cease the moment Trump wins the presidency.

    Daniel was forced to have a Covid jab to keep his job. Then he fell gravely ill. Now he has secured a HUGE legal victory – but the damage is already done

    Judge Calligeros added that Mr Shepherd was required to be vaccinated to continue working in healthcare.

    This was ‘because (the state) sought to protect and reduce the risk of infection to the public and general and those members of the public receiving healthcare services in particular.

    ‘It would be ironic and unjust if Mr Shepherd was denied financial and medical support by complying with the state’s desire to preserve public health.’

    In a landmark ruling, the judge ordered that Mr Shepherd should get weekly income support payments and the payment of medical expenses.

    Of course Pfizer shoulld also be forced to pay $ millions in compensation, however when the “Minister for Everything” Scott Morrison signed a deal with Pfizer for their EXPERIMENTAL “vaccine” (that was not a real vaccine) – Pfizer was indemnified against any faulty product liability

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13027967/Daniel-Shepherd-Covid-vaccine-lawsuit.html

    The ruling came despite SA Health still enforcing a mandatory Covid vaccination policy for some employees, even though similar policies have been dropped in other states.

    Good news!
    Booming renewable energy generation halves wholesale power prices across national grid.
    That means my electricity bill will be halved, doesn’t it! …. doesn’t it?

    And inflation is DOWN! Wow, more good news. So, government causes inflation by increasing its spending and borrowing and then fixes inflation by reducing its spending and borrowing using higher interest rates to force us to reduce our spending and borrowing.

      Double-plus-good Newspeak c/- their ABC. That article reads as if it was penned by an algorithm or a school leaver on work-practice as a State Churnalist:

      “The influence of renewables on the grid will only grow.”

      That could either be a good thing, a bad thing, or the spellchecker misspelled ‘effluence’. What a total crock.

        I don’t see any problem with the ABC article itself, because it simply states the facts as the author sees them. My beef is with the politicians who keep telling us how much cheaper ‘renewable’ energy is, while at the same time our bills remain high. Our ‘conservative’ politicians deserve a mention here, too. Wouldn’t you think they’d be all over this?

          It’s an opinion piece, fact free ABC.
          ‘Facts as the Author sees them’ so he has alternative facts?

          For a few hours on New Year’s Eve, South Australia was powered entirely by rooftop solar panels.

          A new report from the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) lays out the increasing role renewables are playing in the energy grid, reaching 72 per cent of the total demand for power on the east coast at times during the three months.

          What few hours do you need your fridge running every three months?

      I wonder if the author looks at his electricity bill and wonders why it has not gone down. In fact he is a Canberra based reporter and they have a 17% increase this year:

      How much will electricity prices go up in the ACT?

      If the draft decision by the Independent Competition and Regulatory Commission (ICRC) goes through, ACT electricity prices could jump by 17% (or 12% if you consider inflation) for standard offer contracts.

      https://www.finder.com.au/act-electricity-price-rise-jan-2024

      Next we will hear that the Government is demanding the ACCC look into electricity retailers to see why the mark-up is increasing. The difference between wholesale and retail is no longer a mark-up. It is the real cost of digesting intermittent generation.

      I wonder how long people can be promised that prices will come down but they still go up before they stop believing the propaganda and start asking serious questions.

      Also is rapidly heading into history. The LNP just needs to find some sense.

      Something similar in Australia. As we know, the BOM has been closing non-airfield weather stations and opening airfield weather stations. But sometimes they have both. In Cobar, they have a AWSs at Cobar Meteorological Office (MO) and Cobar Airport. Cobar Airport is about 8 kms SW of the MO. As far as I can see, Cobar Airport maximum temperatures are higher than MO max temperatures. On the other hand Airport minimum temps are often lower than MO temps.

      Then there are the forecasts. Often, the forecast temps are in between MO and Airport, in other words, average, so the forecasts are for a mythical place called Average Cobar.

      But what happens when the coolest place weather recordings are closed and all recording technology transferred to airfields. Then they have to find other hot places to record data. In 2017 and the BOM established and AWS at Noona in NSW. As far as I can tell it is a roadside stop on the Barrier Highway about 80 ks west of Cobar Airport. It only records temperature and its hot.

        Maptram,
        I have noticed that a lot of locations where half hourly data was available have switched to twice a day . The BOM reporting is being wound back and it’s all being fed by automated stations which shouldn’t be an issue to run . Distinct odor of rodent for me…

    This video was entered into evidence in the Mann v Steyn case during cross examination:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BQpciw8suk

    I had not seen it before but it has been around a long time.

    Another video that I have seen a few times was also entered into evidence and reportedly had the jury members smiling:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMqc7PCJ-nc

    Mark Steyn could very well go down in history as the person who shook the Climate Change™ edifice until cracks appeared. All the scammers should be looking for cover because there some chance there will be more searching questions after this gets exposed.

    It could well be that this case ends up being reported by Australian press. It is the first step in exposing the scam. The ends that the scammers will go to has now bounds because it is God’s work.

      Har to understand how a basic law suit can go on for 10+ years, and the defence (Steyn ) has yet to be able to answer the acusations .
      Mann also seems unable to provide any proof of financial harm he claims has resulted from the articles in question !
      And very annoying to know that even if Steyn wins, he wont be able to recoop his legal costs from Mann even though Manns own 4 lawers are being funded by a “Climate Defence” fund !
      Some might think theyare trying to win by financial destruction .

    STUDY: New Jersey’s plastic consumption nearly TRIPLED following plastic bag ban

    A new study reveals that the use of plastic in New Jersey has increased from 53 million pounds to 151 million pounds since it implemented the plastic bag ban in May 2022.

    The study, conducted by market research firm Fredonia Group on Jan. 9, found that the “plastic bag ban” not only failed to curb plastic usage but also backfired four years after its implementation in the state. The research disclosed that plastic consumption at retail checkouts in the Garden State nearly tripled over the years.

    The study discovered that consumers rarely reused the required reusable bags that replaced the plastic bags. The study found that most reusable bags in New Jersey are used an average of two to three times, contributing to an overall rise in plastic usage for bags in the state. This trend has led to a paradoxical situation where the increase in plastic usage overshadowed the intended environmental benefits of the bag ban.

    Researchers then pointed out that reusable bags are manufactured with 15 to 20 times the amount of plastic used in the now-prohibited single-use plastic bags. The report indicates that for reusable bags to have a net benefit for the environment, they need to be used anywhere from 11 to 59 times. However, this is clearly not the case in New Jersey.

    Study proves that “green” and “environmentally friendly” alternatives are worse than plastics.

    Got skin cancer? Here’s some good news for those of us who have non-melanoma skin cancers such as keratoses, BCC’s and SCC’s. An Aussie resercher Professor Diona Damian, has found good results with a large daily dose (500mg) of nicotinamide (Vit B3.

    It is also very important that people planning to take vitamin B3 take the amide form, nicotinamide, and not the nicotinic acid form. “Nicotinic acid has a range of unpleasant side effects – including flushing, headache and low blood pressure – that we don’t see with nicotinamide”, says Professor Damian.

    The World Council for Health has an Australian branch starting-

    ” As part of its mission to decentralise real health care and sovereignty to country, community and individual level, the WCH Australia will host a launch as well as other events going forward.

    WCH steering committee member Katie Ashby-Koppens said “Globally, the last four years have seen unprecedented restrictions on fundamental human rights, a failure to uphold core legal principles, immunologically illogical public health measures, with both governments and globalists only learning from the opportunity of what to do better next time. All countries have been left in a much worse state, economies under pressure, its populations sicker, more dead and injured than from the virus alone, with medical professionals stripped of their trusted roles of respectfully caring for the individual. It is an incredible honour and privilege to even be in the same sphere as our courageous leadership team, let alone walking beside them”.”
