Biden moves to bypass Congress to enact climate agenda that only 1% of Americans care about

President Joe Biden will visit Somerset, Massachusetts on Wednesday, to deliver an ultimatum to Congress on climate change despite a major lack of support from voters.

President Joe Biden will visit Somerset, Massachusetts on Wednesday, to deliver an ultimatum to Congress on climate change despite a major lack of support from voters. Biden says that if they do not vote to put his environmental agenda into action, then he will use his own powers to combat the issue.

With his climate plan facing setbacks from Republicans and moderate Democrats on Capitol Hill, the president plans to visit the Brayton Point power plant, reported NBC Boston. The plant is an old coal-powered facility that is now transitioning to offshore wind manufacturing. Biden will deliver remarks on "tackling the climate crisis and seizing the opportunity of a clean energy future to create jobs and lower costs for families," according to the White House.

Biden is expected to force federal funds toward communities facing high levels of heat, while taking executive action to boost domestic offshore wind production, an anonymous White House official told the Washington Post.

Some of the major setbacks on Biden's climate agenda come from within his own party, with Sen. Joe Manchin III of West Virginia last week informing Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer that he does not support the party's plan to allocate billions of dollars to fighting climate change.

"I said, 'Chuck until we see the July inflation figures… basically Federal Reserve rates, interest rates, then let's wait till that comes out so we know that we're going down a path that won't be inflammatory, to add more to inflation,' " Manchin said on the Talkline radio show.

Manchin isn't the only one who isn't feeling strongly about pushing forward federal funding to tackle the climate change issue. According to a New York Times poll, just one percent of Americans hold climate change as the most important issue facing the country. The poll, which was covered by Fox News, showed that even out of Democratic voters and the ages 18-30 demographic, only 3% say it's a top issue.

Biden has been facing some major problems as of late, with his own party criticizing him for not having a more forceful response to the overturn of Roe v. Wade, and with Americans in general financially hurting from the highest levels of inflation the country has seen in 40 years. Only one percent of young voters between the ages of 18 and 29 "strongly approve" of the president's work, and the overall approval rating of 36 percent has matched the record low. The push for a multi-billion-dollar climate agenda seems to be the least of the average citizen's worries.

While Biden is not expected to declare a national climate emergency during the address in Somerset, he is considering making the move in the near future.

"I would not plan an announcement this week on a national climate emergency. Again, everything is on the table. It's just not going to be this week on that decision," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters on Tuesday.

[[unless the LORD of Heaven and Earth, JESUS CHRIST, allows satan to do it,]]

Exactly- Also The climate lie is a Satanic lie that has everyone thinking that they can control the climate- and that they must pay for their enviro-sins to ‘save da Erff”- because we’re ‘all gonna die soon if we don’t act’ but the fact is we have a GUARANTEED 1007 more years left at the very least- The earth is NOT going catch on fire till that day- God destroys the current earth in the end- NOT mankind

The Satanic lies that flow from the mouths of the left just never cease-

This country has kicked God out of our national life. The current insanity is part of God’s judgment for this country’s evil.

fall in love:





marry:



go live on a farm:

I actually think that the real movers and shakers are the ones we DON’T hear about.

Those in the limelight like Soros and Schawb, et al, are certainly players, but I don’t think they are the real force behind all this otherwise, they would not be the ones in the public eye.

EO's are only applicable to the federal government. For instance, Pedo Pete can't issue an EO to outlaw your ICE vehicle, buy an EV or institute a BS "climate tax". Those would take Congressionally passed laws. But Biden can EO that the fed gov buy only EV's the next time money is appropriated by Congress for the fed gov to buy new vehicles. Illegal EO's cannot be enforced and can be fought in court if enforcement is attempted. In general, if no enforcement is attempted, Congress is the only one to have standing to sue the administration to make the EO go away.

He will try to enact all kinds of felonious nonsense, and be met with a flurry of lawsuits. Biden’s record with EOs is not that good. Courts have not been amused by the illegal trash they keep trying to pull off.

What are people concerned about? This was a poll taken a while back of Democrats and Republicans:

REPUBLICAN VOTER CONCERNS:

Hm. Seems reasonable, right? Things that normal people are concerned, or should be concerned about. What are Democrat voters concerned about?

DEMOCRAT VOTER CONCERNS:

Really? These people are simply deranged, if these things are what they are worried about.

I had a Cadillac 2000 STS Northstar that burned oil more than any other car I ever owned. Cadillac claimed that the oil needed for its high output needed it and as I bought it used in 2003 to use as a high mileage, high speed turnpike cruiser I found it to be true. I did figure that it would need a ring job from carbon (even with my 90 mph turnpike abuse) and I traded it after about 2 years. I left Atlanta for KC one time and never dropped below 90. I was a comfortable road car.

I would add a quart about every 1200 miles or worse.
