The Green New Deal was never meant to be taken seriously, and both sides know that. The resolution’s sponsor, freshman congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), knows it every bit as much as Senator Lee knows it. The Green New Deal was designed to fail. Why? Because they want to blackwash the 10% of the resolution that’s really quite admirable by mixing it up with the 90% that’s tripe, and then grossly mischaracterizing the whole thing for good measure.
I would guess most of those at Glastonburydidn’t take it seriously. Those who weren’t too stoned to know up from down probably just laughed it off as more fake politics, which they have gotten very used to dismissing since fake Covid. But that wasn’t the intended effect, which is why the mainstream had to lead the world news with it, adding flashing lights and extra exclamation points. They had to get everyone from the Prime Minister toAlex Jones to throw a conniption fit, salting this in and warning you it was the end of Western Civilization.

11. DAD with important news
Twofer on Guido…
a) The government is likely to schedule Trump’s state visit to the UK in recess to avoid the President addressing parliament. A diplomatic insult to President Trump…
b) RIP. One of Thatcher’s most loyal Cabinet ministers, Lord Tebbit, who has died age 94, served as Conservative Party Chairman and Employment Secretary. From a working class background in Essex, Lord Tebbit embodied Thatcher’s combative approach to the unions.
11. (a) DAD with important news – if I were Trump I wouldn’t bother, they hate him and he knows it – and they know he knows it. There is however a state visit today, le grand fromage is here with his former school teacher, whom he married. We should remember the motto of the Order of the Garter is Old Norman French: Honi soit qui mal y pense (shamed be whoever thinks evil of it). Incredibly the Blair creature is a member of this, the oldest order of knighthood – the man who signed us up to the mass immigration doctrine of the UN. King Charles III is Norman invader descended, he too is on board with the same UN doctrine of population replacement, ergo the dinghy invasion from France will continue. I hope they all throw up after the banquet this evening. That is all.
KC3 is not Norman, he is German.
JH: please do not put words in my mouth.
DAD, Charles would claim his line goes all the way back to Egbert (827-830AD), the first ruler. The record is in Windsor Castle – unrolled it’s about 30ft long. The first monarch of England was Alfred the Great and the last was Anne, before the Acts of Union (1707).
Steve, it is reported that Charlie has a bursted blood vessel in his peeper today. Perhaps someone gave him a poke in it to keep him in line? 😉
“….The city of Guelph was named by founder John Galt in 1827 to honour the British Royal Family, the Hanoverians, who were descended from the House of Welf (Also known as the Guelfs or Guelph), one of the great political factions in late medieval Germany and Italy, and the ancestral family of the reigning British monarch at the time George IV….”
