Former President Donald Trump blasted U.S. Special Envoy for Climate John Kerry in a Fox News town hall event for his climate activism and told the audience that the former Democratic presidential candidate “has to be stopped.”

“I see John Kerry all over the place talking about [how] we have to get rid of our coal plants,” Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity.

“And yet China is building one coal plant a week, massive coal plants, and they’re doing it just automatically. And John Kerry wants us to stop doing anything we can. We have a country; we have to fire up our factories. Wind is not going to fire up our factories.”

Moments later, when discussing American energy independence, Trump said, “Our country can be rich again. John Kerry has to be stopped. He’s destroying our country.” …

--- " We have a country; we have to fire up our factories. Wind is not going to fire up our factories.”

A look to most of the basic materials mining and manufacturing stats from around the world shows the US losing a competitive race in many areas. The idiocy -- from Clinton forward and the whole "stakeholders" nonsense which was and remains an attack on private property rights -- which is the "climate change" grift needs to be stopped.

Just another of the variations on "gimme" as the Left and the corrupt want to "rob Peter to pay Paul." But Paul is almost uniformly the middle class, while the robber is government,

As quoted on a couple of other threads:

The state is an organized crime racket. It appropriates wealth by coercion and regularly uses force in violation of the nonaggression principle. The state is a parasite that perpetuates itself at all costs and extends itself by any means possible. Regardless of its putative leaders, the state grows and increases its power at the expense of its hosts and others who fall victim to its predations.

As Hans-Hermann Hoppe poignantly wrote, states are “gangs of murderers, plunderers and thieves, surrounded by willing executioners, propagandists, sycophants, crooks, liars, clowns, charlatans, dupes and useful idiots—[the state is] an institution that dirties and taints everything it touches.”

One of the state's dirty occupations is war. When undertaking war, the state uses expropriated wealth and human capital to defend its territory or extend its reach and influence. Clearing away the fog of statist preconceptions regarding war, Hoppe explains that war is gang warfare: “Gang wars, then, typically involving some territorial issues, are always wars conducted by rival gang leaders with other people's money, machines and manpower (just think of taxation and compulsory conscription!).”

John Effin Kerry, who served in Vietnam by the way (thank you Rush) actually had his first marriage annulled, which legally means it never really happened. He did that to marry Heinz and great deal of money. Unfortunately, he had two children with his first wife. Since he went to all the effort to basically rewrite the history book and erase his first marriage, his children would be called, by some people, illegitimate. Another common term for illegitimate is b***tard. Since the children never asked for a father such as Kerry, I believe they should be spared any more shame and discomfort. The term b**stard should be reserved, now and for always, to refer to Effin Kerry himself.

One time, Rush explained that the Vietcong commies have a special room in the Hanoi National Museum dedicated to Effin Kerry. It celebrates all the ‘work’ Kerry did on behalf of the commies.

Our dad survived WWII, Korea and Vietnam as a pilot and on the ground. Thanks to God he survived all of it and returned to us. As children, my 6 brothers and sisters and I did not watch the nightly news when dad was in Vietnam. The news loved to show soldiers zipping up the body bags, and the last thing we wanted was to see dad that way. When dad was home after Vietnam, there were two people that would make him turn off the TV. Kerry and Jane Fonda. When Kerry, Fonda, and others would appear on the TV, dad used the perfect term: Commie Pinko.

I can't imagine what it must have been like for someone who served in Vietnam to see people like kerry and fonda openly supporting the enemy. Regardless of how one feels about the wisdom (or lack thereof) of the US being involved in Vietnam with the benefit of hindsight, there is no excuse whatsoever to openly support the vc when US soldiers were still in the battlefield.

To this day it amazes me that a Vietnam vet with great marksmanship skills and perhaps a terminal diagnosis hasn't "paid a long-distance visit" to people like jane fonda or john kerry with a little "gift" traveling at about 1200 fps. Tremendous restraint on the part of our veterans. God Bless them. They deserved much better from our nation and our government who sent them to the steamy jungles of Asia to be maimed and killed. It had to be hell on earth.

hmmmm.....(cranial rat wheel spinning...)
1. John Kerry flies on small bizjets, yes?
2. IIRC, small bizjets do not utilize anti-tracking gadgetry, right?3.
3. In all of the ‘small’ military hardware that goes missing, ‘sometime’, what is the chance of one or two shoulder-fired ‘Stinger’, or some such thing, being counted among the missing?

I’m resting my suppositions, y’all figure out the rest!

Yep. John F-ing Kerry is very unpopular. Trump should bang that drum loud and hang the elitist Kerry around fake lunchbox Joe’s neck.

Energy is Wealth.

Make enough energy cheaply enough and billions will be pulled up out of poverty. Restrict supply, driving up the price and you push working people down into privation.

SWiftboat Rear Admiral John F’ing Kerry thinks he is elected and not appointed and can legislate into law his ideas.

The only thing John Kerry is pimping is a script Green Utopia be part of it for a few billion and it comes with a lot of power.

Fake Biden appointed Fake Kerry to a Fake position, which makes Kerry as well as ALL of Biden’s agenda FAKE. This is the “let’s pretend and play White House” administration.

But first, we must acknowledge that as organized crime syndicates, states have no legitimate claim to territory. This is no less true in Israel than anywhere else. States acquire territory by plunder and confiscation …
This is communistic gobbledygook. The mere existence of states is not “statism” per se; the definition of that word implies totalitarianism, and it is not the case that all states are totalitarian. So this article also by implication condemns the US Declaration of Independence, which makes statements to the effect that “governments are instituted among men” whose purpose is “to effect their safety and happiness”, and the article is garbage, with all due respect, implying that the mere existence of the State of Israel is the cause of Hamas’ war. (There is no context that can justify that excerpt I posted.)

---- "So this article also by implication condemns the US Declaration of Independence, which makes statements to the effect that 'governments are instituted among men' whose purpose is 'to effect their safety and happiness', and the article is garbage, with all due respect, implying that the mere existence of the State of Israel is the cause of Hamas’ war."

No intention to make implication about the Israel war against Hamas, which I think justified.

The article's first paragraph reads like a description of the Democrats' policies and political planks. "The state is an organized crime racket. It appropriates wealth by coercion and regularly uses force in violation of the nonaggression principle. The state is a parasite that perpetuates itself at all costs and extends itself by any means possible. Regardless of its putative leaders, the state grows and increases its power at the expense of its hosts and others who fall victim to its predations." The point of posting the except was to cite the first paragraphs as a generalization. Our Declaration of Independence is among my favorite documents, and speaks to a time when government was far smaller, far less expensive and far less invasive than today's government.

Would that the Israelis had a 2A, as they now are issuing permits for guns after the fact. Should have been all Israelis right to bear arms. Period. And shoot back at first sign of attack.

Best wishes.
