Bernie’s bad week(s)

Politics / June 26, 2017 June 26, 2017

From the website VTDigger.

As president of Burlington College in 2010, Sanders secured a $6.7 million loan from People’s United Bank, which the college used to purchase a 33-acre lakefront campus for the school.

Federal investigators are probing aspects of that land deal, according to Holm and another former employee who said they had been contacted by the FBI. Federal officials have declined to comment on the investigation.

The loan agreement required the college to provide evidence of more than $2 million in pledged donations as collateral. However, three donors — including the largest listed at $1 million have told VTDigger their pledges were misrepresented in the loan documents.

Between 2010 and 2014 the college collected only $676,000 in donations, according to former college officials. The school was also never able to increase enrollment as Sanders had projected. It closed in May 2016, with officials citing debt from the land purchase as the primary reason.

More on the subject from American thinker

The Sanders have “Lawyered up.”

Then we have Sanders supporter James Hodgkinson.

Hodgkinson appeared to be a volunteer with Bernie Sanders’ failed presidential campaign, the Vermont senator said shortly after the incident in a statement.

“I am sickened by this despicable act,” Sanders said in a statement condemning all acts of violence.

I’m sure you are Bernie but given your rhetoric as you’ve stated here.

“Under President Trump our country is moving in an authoritarian direction and the very nature of American democracy is under attack,” the Vermont independent said. “No matter what our political perspective — whether we are progressives, conservatives or moderates — we must do everything we can to preserve American democracy and oppose the current drift toward authoritarianism that I believe President Trump represents.”

I think what really upsets him is that “American democracy” is what put Trump in office.

He also said:

“As Republicans try to repeal the Affordable Care Act, they should be reminded every day that 36,000 people will die yearly as a result,”

Is it any wonder Bernie that political violence is one of the left’s justified means toward their desired end.

Last but not least we have the fate of another of Bernie’s supporters, One Mr. Seth Rich, who many believe was the source for Julian Assange’s WikiLeaks who was upset with the DNC for shafting Bernie out of the Party’s nomination.

From the Profiling project

After a three-month review and investigation into the death of Seth Rich, The Profiling Project notes the following:
1. Seth’s death does not appear to be a random homicide
2. Seth’s death does not appear to be a robbery gone bad
3. Seth death was more likely committed by a hired killer or serial murderer
4. There may be additional video surveillance of the crime and crime scene
5. The resolution of prosecuting the individual(s) responsible appears to be hindered both actively and passively
6. Seth’s killer(s) most likely remains free within the community

Bernie’s wife is accused of Bank fraud, One of his supporters goes on a murder rampage, another supporter gets a bullet in the back.

If Bernie were not anything but a ~~Marxist~~ Progressive sometimes democrat. he would be frog marching somewhere.

Time will tell

Look at NORWAY!!! Now that’s commitment.

Vermont, it’s time you stopped ~~pussyfooting~~ fooling yourself. Yes I know solar panel farms are sprouting faster then Pot plants, micro-breweries, wineries, and distillers combined. Well your giving yourself until the year 2050 to achieve a 90% renewable energy goal.

How can this be reconciled with what the priesthood of science have proclaimed, that we only have 10 years left in which to save the planet.

Well compared to Norway, Vermont is still trying to get out of the starting blocks. Norway is going to ban the use of heating oil.

The Norwegian Government hopes that the upcoming ban will result in a reduction of the country’s carbon dioxide emissions by 340,000 tons per year, compared to overall national emissions of 53.9 million tonnes in 2015.

Environment Minister Vidar Helgesen said:

Those using fossil oil for heating must find other options by 2020. Recommended alternatives to oil-based products include heat pumps, electricity from the country’s hydroelectric grid and even special stoves burning wood chips. Additional measures could include limitations on the use of natural gas for heating.

Lets see 340,000/53,900,000 equals a .0063079777% reduction

That’s right. Now here is a little problem, Norway exports North Sea oil to earn revenue. Will they stop selling it? Wouldn’t that be like the drug dealer who sells his poison but doesn’t touch the stuff himself.

If I ran heating oil business in Vermont I might be just slightly nervous.

You never know what might be coming down the pike.

Has Bernie decided to have a party of his very own?

Politics / June 16, 2017 June 16, 2017

Apparently he has. Maybe.

From the American thinker

He announced at the meeting of the People’s Summit held in Chicago this past weekend (and attended by a reported 4,000 people) that what he viewed as utterly necessary to “fix” what ails the United States which was the creation of a People’s Party. With himself, of course, as its leader, standard bearer, and candidate.

The People’s Summit which was organized by folks from the Bernie Sanders campaign and National Nurses United (NNU), a national nurses union with a reported 150,000 members. The NNU was one of only six national unions to back Bernie over Hillary. The Executive Director of NNU, RoseAnn DeMoro, is an active supporter of Sen. Sanders. Ms. DeMoro joined him on the stage after Sanders had finished speaking to the crowd at the Summit (many of whom waved professionally printed “Draft Bernie” signs).

How can you tell that Ms. DeMoro actually supports Bernie’s candidacy or the formation of a People’s Party? Well, she managed to have her union donate $1,000,000 to Bernie’s failed 2016 presidential campaign.

No matter how you want to look at it, $1,000,000 is a lot of support, especially when it’s not your money. It’s money raised from her union members. You know, nurses. Those “underpaid and overworked” nurses. So just how underpaid are they? Well, they were only able to reach into their own pockets and accumulate $1,000,000 to give to Bernie Sanders.

Personally I doubt that anything will come of this. Bernie is 75 years old, even though he appears to be in good health he knows things can easily go downhill very rapidly and unexpectedly. Especially if he decides to really take on the Clintons and the Democrat establishment.

Time will tell.

Climate change again rears its ugly head

Climate Change / June 15, 2017 June 15, 2017

From the Winnipeg Free Press

The University of Manitoba’s multi-year, multi-million dollar climate change study has been put on ice for a year — because of climate change itself.

David Barber, the university’s renowned Arctic researcher, and chief scientist of the BaySys project, said 40 scientists on the Canadian icebreaker CCGS Amundsen made the decision to postpone the $17 million project until next year after two weeks onboard because they realized the ship was needed elsewhere due to the continued extreme ice conditions in southern waters around Newfoundland and Labrador.

Emphasis mine.

The ice is too damn thick.

Of course later they say…

But Barber said once out on the water the scientists realized this wasn’t the usual sea ice, which would be relatively easy for the icebreaker to plow through, but thicker ice from further north which had broken off because of climate change.

If the Ice is to thin, it’s climate change. To thick? Climate change.

Read the whole piece.

Climate change is the chameleon of science it can be whatever you want it to be.

Remember that Libs are the party of Science

But logic escapes them.

But I suppose it does fit the narrative.

Are we swirling the drain? Maybe.

If this isn’t Treason I don’t know what is.

Climate Change, Politics / June 8, 2017 June 8, 2017

From Frontpage Mag.

Scotland and Norway’s environmental ministers have mentioned a focus on individual American states. And the secessionist governments of California, New York and Washington have announced that they will unilaterally and illegally enter into a foreign treaty rejected by the President of the United States. The Constitution is very clear about this. “No state shall enter into any treaty.” Governor Cuomo of New York has been equally clear. “New York State is committed to meeting the standards set forth in the Paris Accord regardless of Washington’s irresponsible actions.”

Cuomo’s statement conveniently comes in French, Chinese and Russian translations.

“It is a little bold to talk about the China-California partnership as though we were a separate nation, but we are a separate nation,” Governor Brown of California announced.

In an interview with the Huffington Post, the radical leftist described California as “a real nation-state”.

Brown was taking a swing through China to reassure the Communist dictatorship of California’s loyalty to an illegal treaty at the same time as EU boss Juncker was bashing America and kissing up to Premier Li Keqiang at the EU-China summit. It’s one thing when the EU and China form a united front against America. It’s quite another when California and China form a united front against America.

The Climate Alliance of California, New York, Washington, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Oregon, Colorado, Hawaii, Virginia and Rhode Island looks a lot like the Confederacy’s Montgomery Convention. Both serve as meeting points for a secessionist alliance of states to air their grievances against the Federal government over an issue in which they are out of step with the nation.

“We’re a powerful state government. We have nine other states that agree with us,” Brown boasted.

Two more and Jim Jones’ old pal could have his own confederacy.

Read it in its entirety.

Like the slaveowner class, leftist elites are letting the arrogance of their wealth lead them into treason. And as they look out from their mansions and skyscrapers, they should remember that the majority of working class people in California and New York will be far less enthusiastic about fighting a war to protect their dirty investments in solar energy plants and carbon credits funded by taxes seized from many of those same people in these left-wing slave states.
