I remember sliding down the steep ave. We were smart enough to station a kid at the cross street and if he saw a car coming he’d yell and wave his arms and we’d smash into the snow bank desperately trying to stop.

Biden: ‘We’re All Dead’ if We Don’t Stop Using Fossil Fuels
Calls for Jailing of Fossil Fuel Execs


Joe Biden: ‘We’re All Dead’ if We Don’t Stop Using Fossil Fuels

Former Vice President Joe Biden claimed during a Sunday campaign event that “we’re all dead” if fossil fuels continue to be used as one of the world’s primary energy sources.

Biden made the apocalyptic pronouncement while discussing climate change before a crowd of supporters in Peterborough, New Hampshire.

“If we don’t stop using fossil fuels–” an attendee began a question to the candidate.

“We’re all dead,” Biden interrupted.


Earlier in the event, Biden vowed as president to hold energy giants liable for global warming and made a pledge to even jail executives.

“We have to set sort of guide rails down now, so between the years 2021 and 2030, it’s irreversible – the path we set ourselves on. And one of which is doing away with any substance for fossil fuels – number one,” Biden said.

“Number two, holding them liable for what they have done,” he said of fossil fuel executives, “particularly in those cases where your underserved neighborhoods and – you know the deal, okay. And by the way, when they don’t want to deliver, put them in jail. I’m not joking about this.”

It is unclear whether Biden meant he would also imprison his own son, Hunter Biden, who served on the board of directors of Ukrainian gas giant Burisma Holdings between 2014-2016. The younger Biden was reportedly paid up to $83,000 as a Burisma board member, despite having no expertise in the energy sector.

Sunday’s remarks weren’t the first in which Biden advocated jailing business people. During June’s DNC debate, the former vice president called for insurance executives to be jailed for what he described as false advertising practices.

In September, Biden received blowback for attending a fundraiser hosted by a fossil fuel company co-founder — Andrew Goldman of Western LNG — after pledging not to accept contributions from the fossil fuel industry.

EXCELLENT! Trump to Hold Massive Campaign Rally During Next Boring Democrat Primary Debate

by Cassandra Fairbanks December 30, 2019 40 Comments

President Donald Trump will be holding a massive campaign rally on January 14 in Wisconsin — the same day as the Democrat primary debate in Iowa.

Ratings for the Democrat debates have already plummeted, with the December event drawing the smallest audience to date.

Trump’s campaign announced the rally on Monday, noting the surge in Wisconsin jobs since Trump took office.

“President Trump has delivered for Wisconsin creating 37,400 new jobs, including 4,900 new manufacturing jobs and 13,800 new construction jobs,” Michael Glassner, the campaign’s chief operating officer, said in a statement. “President Trump looks forward to returning to the Badger State to celebrate his message of ‘Promises Made, Promises Kept.’”

The rally will be held at the University of Wisconsin’s Panther arena in Milwaukee, which can hold 12,700 people.

Earlier this month, Trump held a rally in Hershey, Pennsylvania, which was viewed by 12,000 at the event, 30,000 on YouTube Livestream, and 2.1 million on Facebook.
