Harris highlights climate change as 'very real threat' in Naval Academy graduation speech
The Washington Times ^ | 5/28/2021 | Dave Boyer

ANNAPOLIS — Vice President Kamala D. Harris told graduates of the U.S. Naval Academy Friday that the military has entered an era of new security threats such as pandemics, cyber-attacks and climate change.

“A gang of hackers can disrupt the fuel supply of a whole seaboard,” the vice president said.

“One country’s carbon emissions can threaten the sustainability of the whole earth. This, Midshipmen, is the era we’re in,” she said. “The challenge before us now is how to mount a modern defense to these modern threats.”

She’s going to mount a defense? Using the military to defend against climate change?

I’ve heard talk that the military is supposed to consider climate and environmental impacts in their operations.

Can you imagine if General Eisenhower had been told to consider global warming in planning the Normandy invasion?

If they’re a white male, they’re going to find out they have already been classified as White Supremacists. Unless they’re LGBTQI+.

They now have free rein as communists are within a chip-shot of total world dominance...

You realize that rising oceans will flood our ships and sink them. The Navy is rightfully alarmed.

I know others still have it in use. That’s not my point.

Everywhere we are restricted more and more. Fireman and policeman are fire fighter and police officer. But lately more and more. Including no one can imply it’s right to be a boy or girl or man or woman.

So Harris, our next phony president, shouldn’t get away with it. That’s all.

NY Post article included:
One of the first acts of our new House of Representatives might be to cancel Mom.

On Sunday, Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Democratic majority proposed to eliminate “father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister” and all other language deemed insufficiently “gender-inclusive” from House rules. They would be ­replaced with terms like “parent, child, sibling, parent’s sibling” and so on.

“Mother” — among the most important concepts in human life — would be erased from the lexicon of the US House of Representatives.

Oh God I am getting so sick to death of this utter utter BS. Last month I was in Boston where they had a major snow storm IN SPRING, now here we are a few days away from JUNE and here in New York it rarely hits above 70. Right now it’s raining at 50 degrees. Where the hell is this “global warming”?

I grew up in the 1960s and 1970s, I remember hunting outside for easter eggs every Easter wearing shorts and Easter is in April. This year as usual April was freezing. Even in the 1970s when I was in boy scouts we would have a canoe trip in April wearing shorts, swimming in the river.

The earth is getting COLDER

At least Barry and Mike are not out in the open exposed to the elements. A few tens of millions of dollars saved them from that despite the systemic racism barriers they faced every demeaning and painful day of their lives as black people in America. An inspiring story of perseverance and gritty guts./s

If we had a real Republican party they would be fighting these Marxist scumbags by putting out ads on the importance of CO2. The current percentage of CO2 in the earths atmosphere is 0.04% If that level ever dropped down to 0.02% because a schmuck like John Kerry “sucked it out” like he said he wanted to do, almost all life on earth would DIE. Plants would die off and then we would die after eating all the animals and then resorting to cannibalism. Watch the movie “The Road” or read the book by Cormac McCarthy. That’s exactly what the world would be like with low CO2

Hawaiian estate photo....

At least with Barr and Durham finally defanged and declawed, the Obamas can get over their persistent recurring nightmares of hearing someone coming close behind them with a voice like Detective Lieutenant Steve McGarrett saying firmly “Book ‘em, Danno!”

Whew.

Really ticks me off that a scumbag that did so much damage to this country is living like that. And his disgusting pig of wife does what? Spends all year flaming race relations, just recently announcing that she is frightened cops will kill her daughters if they got pulled over driving.

Hey Kamala, please explain your position on climate change?

“Well, I like to rest my ankles on his shoulders.”
