Mark this day as historic. June 1, 2017: the day that President Donald Trump extricated the United States from the Paris climate accord.
It is a day of jubilee. It is a day of freedom. It is something akin to another declaration of independence — independence not from an empire but from a global welfare establishment that has been feeding off the United States since the Second World War.
If you only voted for Donald Trump because he promised to end the climate change swindle then the president has kept his promise to you. But he’s also kept his promise to all Americans not just to put America first but to selling America out to the United Nations and the climate change lobby that is both igniting the fears of people around the world and making a fortune from those fears.
When global warming didn’t seem to ring true anymore, the enviro-fascists started calling it climate change because that can mean just about anything. The weather can be hot, cold, rainy, arid or something in between and you can attribute it all to climate change.
Not only that: governments can tax you to death in the endless pursuit of lowering a country’s carbon footprint. The environmentalists can kill jobs and have us all living in caves without the benefit of cars as we do our bit to save the environment.
And it’s all nonsense. While Americans and other western nations suffer in silence, China and India continue an industrial expansion that has little concern for the size of carbon footprints.
Well on Thursday, Trump said no. He said enough. He said Americans wouldn’t be played for suckers anymore by the environmental hucksters at the UN.
There will be so very disappointed and sorrowful liberals on this day. For them, the environment was not just a political issue, not just a policy plank, not even just a cause; it was a religion. They worship the planet and they pay obeisance to the earth god through their various displays of environmental devotion — which largely translate into taxes and levies that are remarkably similar to what the indulgences that could be purchased for the remission of sins in the pre-Reformation Catholic Church. Liberals believe in suffering for they planet; they believe in following the globalist piper.
Trump is taking a courageous position with his exit. The mainstream, left-wing media that already aspires to see his impeachment if not his literal demise, has been quick to note that Trumk is out of step with the rest of the world, a climate change denier, abdicating America’s leadership role in the world. But let’s get real, does anybody really believe that America was leading the world on climate change? Do you really want America to lead the world on such an issue? Wouldn’t you rather have America leading the world on economic expansion, political liberty and freedom of thought and speech?
Did you get the crass remark from Fox News’ afternoon liberal talking head Shep Smith, that “those who know climate change is real and that it is caused by humans” won’t like today’s decision. What an utterly totalitarian statement to make and how utterly banal. But this is precisely how the liberals have framed this debate: by saying there is no debate; that the issue is settled and beyond dispute.
This decision will have far-reaching consequences. It not only means the U.S. has finally said enough, but Trump’s leadership might actually force some of the other pusillanimous leaders of the world to question their sycophantic devotion to the environmental tryranny. Perhaps some of these jokers will stop talking about this outrageously silly “war on climate change” and wake up to the real war on terrorism.
Is it too much to hope for? Perhaps not. Many of us doubted that Trump would come through on the Paris climate accord, his administration is so honeycombed with environmental appeasers like Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. But Trump showed strength and foresight — and the sort of common sense that the nattering nabobs of negativity at the UN will never comprehend.
Social media is absolutely retarded with rage over this crap, yet if you ask any of them what the Paris accords actually did, they can’t name anything more than the few BS talking points from the MSM. They’re to the point that I’ve seen some posts on Reddit calling for murder of people who deny climate change.
...well, 'ole shep knows a thing or 2....
Shep knows this like he knows his anus is really a vagina.
ROFLMAO!!! Post Of The Day!!!
I love this:
It is a day of jubilee. It is a day of freedom. It is something akin to another declaration of independence — independence not from an empire but from a global welfare establishment that has been feeding off the United States since the Second World War.

worth repeating.
this pull out saved “joe sixpack” from massive unchecked utility bills & fuel costs
“If you only voted for Donald Trump because he promised to end the climate change swindle then the president has kept his promise to you. “
Yes, and you can add to that, the appointment of Neil Gorsuch to the SCOTUS.
Those two actions have, in and of themselves, extended the “life” of out country for decades.
The socialist-democrats, and their globalist elite brethren are absolutely beside themselves over President Trump’s decision to shut down their “global warming” shakedown racket.
Oh, and BTW, I could care less what the EU, let alone the rest of the world thinks of the US. There is no reasoning with these people. They will swallow whatever BS that their “government officals” can ram down their throats.
President Trump did right by the American people.
Click on this map of the world and it will show you in real time what the pollution indicies are everywhere. You will note that the US and Europe are fine, but India and China are both pollution nightmares. So you have to know that the "Paris Accord" was simply a scam to take money from the United States and "distribute it" to the rest of the world. Screw that!

GREAT headline.
Listening to our President, I couldn't help but be struck with the similarity of his words as composed and reading our more outspoken political reporters here in FreeRepublic.
President Trump made a basic, bold statement and backed it up like in the Declaration of Independence.
Come to think of it .... it was another Declaration of Independence that he spoke.
If someone transcribes this speech in cursive, I'll just BET'cha that's what we read.

I love the fact that this quote mentions WW2. Unlike the Soviets, the USA’s response after Victory in WW2 was not that of a vanquishing conqueror. The Marshall Plan, Berlin Airlift, CARE, NATO, and other programs were the acts of a truly kind and benevolent “Winner” in the conflict which cost so many lives.
However, the “safety net” became a “hammock” for Europe, and they started to see our largesse as an obligation. As soon as THAT started to happen the Gravy Train should have ground to a halt.
Also, if the departure of one nation from their scam is going to kill the planet, what does that say about THEM?
What a great president.
Wonder how many more viewers that will cost FAUX NEWS.
Does this mean that the United States will not pay into this earthly welfare scheme now?
Can you imagine what ¡Jeb! would have done? He would have been totally onboard, and busy staging compassionate photo-ops with Macron and Merkel. And what about Hillary?
Thank you dear, Lord, for delivering us from Evil!
Please continue to bless this republic. In Jesus name.
Many EU countries are in the process of having their national cultures and societal norms overrun and pushed aside by Muslim invaders, homegrown and foreign. Yet they are spending their time worrying about some climate change treaty based on highly questionable science and Donald Trump’s withdrawal from it. They need to get their national priorities in order.
Our country came about due to a tea tax by the greedy Brits.
The Paris accord makes the tea tax look like a kiss from a cousin.
#1. The $5000 yearly cost of the Paris Agreement per American Family will be stopped.
Green elites, world wide took a major $ body blow yesterday.
2. That is because they will be losing our America tax $’s soon.

It is all to clear the Paris climate deal is all cost and no benefit for the U.S., and ... leading to a $5,000 loss in annual income for every household in America. .... In fact, the average premium for an individual has increased by 105% since 2013.
