The GOP Surrender Caucus Holds The Fate of the Mid-terms in its Hands
DB Daily Update ^ | David Blackmon

Posted on 10/05/2018 5:18:22 AM PDT by EyesOfTX

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)

Man, nobody could’ve seen this one coming. Oh, wait… – If it sometimes seems to you that literally nothing the “Climate Change” scammers claim ever turns out to be true, that just means you are a keen observer of actual outcomes.

For our latest example, I bring you these findings from a new study conducted by researchers at…wait for it…HARVARD!:

“In two papers — published today in the journals Environmental Research Letters and Joule — Harvard University researchers find that the transition to wind or solar power in the U.S. would require five to 20 times more land than previously thought, and, if such large-scale wind farms were built, would warm average surface temperatures over the continental U.S. by 0.24 degrees Celsius.”

Here’s another problem with wind power that states like Texas and Kansas, that are home to an array of huge wind farms that are now moving into the final years of their useful lives, are about to face: None of these states have regulations on their books governing the retirement, dismantling and disposal of those gigantic windmills. That’s right – unless the landowners who leased their lands had the foresight to place such requirements in their lease agreements, these 200 to 700 ft. tall eyesores could simply be left standing to rot away if the wind companies don’t want to bear the expense of removing them.

The more you know about this stuff, the less attractive it becomes, which of course is why your fake news media has desperately avoided telling you about these inconvenient truths.

Just a few weeks ago, they all said this was tantamount to treason. – Everyone does realize that the Republicans have now snookered the Democrats into demonizing the FBI, right? The ability of these people to literally take a 180 degree turn in their rhetoric without giving it a second thought is truly breathtaking. And hilarious. And demented.

And now, a word from our Why You Should Be Following @GDBlackmon on Twitter sponsors:

David "Beto" Blackmon @GDBlackmon BREAKING: Irish Bob O'Rourke wants all you California and New York suckers to pour another cool million into his doomed senate campaign, which he is destined to lose by double digits. #caring

Beto O'Rourke ✔ @BetoORourke

US Senate candidate, TX BREAKING: A pro-Cruz super PAC just announced plans to pour $1.1 million into our race. Chip in what you can right now to help us quickly fight back.

You keep using that term. I don’t think you know what it means. – One of the big news stories that the fake news media studiously ignored on Thursday was the fact that no fewer than 8 people who were in college in the Maryland area during the 1980s have written letters to inform the Senate that “The Devil’s Triangle” reference in Judge Brett Kavanaugh does indeed refer to a drinking game similar to the game of “quarters.”

Yes, friends, it turns out that the entire Democrat Senate caucus – indeed, the entirety of the depraved American Left – got duped by a fake definition of the term that someone had placed in the online “American Urban Dictionary” just days before Christine Ford testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week. Remember that this entire controversy was generated by a brief reference in Judge Kavanaugh’s high school yearbook, and that no fewer than three Democrat committee members – including Feinstein and Leahy – spent their time questioning Kavanaugh on it during the hearing on national freakin’ television.

My goodness. This is the greatest troll in the history of trolls.

Oh, hey, good of you to give us a head’s up, Steve! – This little bit of news came through at about 7:00 ET last night:

Ryan Saavedra 🇺🇸 ✔ @RealSaavedra BREAKING: Montana Republican Senator Steve Daines says he needs to be in Montana this weekend for his daughter's wedding, throwing Saturday's confirmation vote on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh in doubt

6:01 PM - Oct 4, 2018 2,038 3,565 people are talking about this Twitter Ads info and privacy But don’t panic – a few hours after the news broke, Sen. Daines issued a statement in which he says he will be around to vote on Saturday no matter what, which presumably means his poor daughter will have to delay her nuptuals until he can fly back to Montana late in the day on Saturday.

Being the father of a married daughter myself, I admire Sen. Daines for his determination to walk his own daughter down the aisle – it’s one of the biggest moments in any Dad’s life. But you can imagine the panic among the GOP leadership in the Senate when they learned of Daines’s potential conflict, since they only have a one-vote margin on this confirmation, and the party’s Surrender Caucus of Jeff Flake, Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski all remain silent as of this writing on how they plan to vote.

While these fake Republicans dither, their ideological equals on the Democrat side of the aisle are deciding en masse to risk their re-elections by opposing the nomination. North Dakota’s Heidi Heitcamp woke up Thursday morning to the reality that she’s 12 points down in the latest poll, and just gave up. Indiana’s Joe Donnelly and Missouri’s Claire McCaskill, both locked in nip and tuck races in their states, had announced their opposition earlier in the week. Those three seats will all most likely end up becoming GOP gains in November as a result of those decisions.

That’s if – and it remains a big “if” this morning – these three Republican squishes do the right thing and vote to confirm Kavanaugh. If any two of them do the wrong thing and vote against, then all bets are off. A win on this nomination will energize the GOP voter base even more than it already has been, but a loss will certainly cause many otherwise-Republican voters to toss up their hands, say “screw ’em” and just stay home.

These next two days are, as President Donald Trump would say, Yuuuuuuuuuge.

That is all.

These turbines are essentially giant helicopter transmissions. 90 weight is their life blood. Most people are not familiar with 90 weight. It is possibly the most tenacious stuff on earth. When the seals blow these things spray 90 weight over half the county. The libtards never want to talk about that. So it is ironic that in order to stop the pollution of the earth with petroleum products they are creating what will inevitably turn into possibly the largest ecological disaster mankind has ever known. THAT is how serious they are about “Gaia”.

Voters having been played by the Dems to actually surrender their vote will turn this nation into a socialist nightmare, unless they wake up to the sheer diaster that awaits their absence from the voting booth.

Just get the word out to meth addicts about how much copper wire there is to be had in these. They will be dismantled in short order.

This guy knows nothing

A loss will drive people crazy. Voters who support Trump are energized. They will not let the mushy cowards of before keep them from voting.

New rules. Vote anti D every chance you get. No more mister nice guy. Primary cowards but in the general you must vote R. Otherwise we will get more of the same. No more bitching. No more staying home

What difference does it make? It makes all the difference

Butterfly Effect. A butterfly flaps its wings on the west coast. Small changes lead to large changes over time and events. It can lead to a major storm by the time the wind blows east. (paraphrasing).

Windmills change air currents.. Solar panels cause heat and change to the environment that surrounds them. Of course wind farms and solar farms are going to affect weather and climate.

We the People elected President Trump because we were tired of all talk no action jellyfish conservative talking Repubnlicans. Republicans if you want to win elections practice what you speak. Choose Kavanaugh.

Interesting that the necessity of petroleum products for these stupid things is never mentioned
