Last December, the Biden White house welcomed leaders of the Climate Defiance group, including co-founder Michael Greenberg, for consultations with Biden’s clean energy czar John Podesta. On April 18, Climate Defiance disrupted a Washington event for Sen. Lisa Murkowski, accused of being an “ecocidal pyromaniac.” Climate Defense now aims to “shut down” the annual congressional baseball game at Nationals Park on June 9. While that awaits, legislators might dial it back to June 14, 2017.
As Republicans practiced for the game, James Hodgkinson opened fire, wounding Rep. Steve Scalise and three others, including two police officers. Nothing about the attack was random.
Hodgkinson worked on Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign and closely aligned with the Vermont socialist.
Hodgkinson was a true believer in anthropogenic “climate change” or “global warming” and exorbitant taxes for “the rich.” He urged Senate Democrats to filibuster the confirmation of Neil Gorsuch, freighted his Facebook page with posts such as “Trump is a Traitor. Trump Has Destroyed Our Democracy. It’s Time to Destroy Trump & Co.” Hodgkinson also belonged to the on-line group “Terminate the Republican Party.” On June 14, 2017, he set out to terminate a list of Republican representatives.
Hodgkinson deployed a Smith and Wesson 9mm pistol and an SKS automatic rifle, a precursor to the Soviet AK-47 that uses the same 7.62 cartridge. The rifle had been altered to accept a detachable magazine and folding stock. Before opening fire, Hodgkinson asked if the players on the field were Democrats or Republicans. He fired at least 70 rounds, seriously wounding then-House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, Rep. Roger Williams staffer Zach Barth, and lobbyist Matt Mika. Capitol Police officers David Bailey and Crystal Griner returned fire, and Griner took a bullet in the ankle.
The FBI did nothing to prevent the attack, played no role in the takedown of Hodgkinson, and tried to pass off the shooting as a case of “suicide by cop.” That came as a surprise to Steve Scalise, who nearly died. “I was shot by a deranged Leftist who came to the baseball field with a list of Congressional Republicans to kill,” Scalise tweeted. “This was NOT ‘suicide by cop.’ End of story.” According to former House speaker Newt Gingrich, there was more to it.
“You’ve had a series of things, which sends signals that tell people that it’s okay to hate Trump,” Gingrich told reporters. “It’s okay think of Trump in violent terms. It’s okay to consider assassinating Trump and then. . . suddenly we’re supposed to rise above it — until the next time?” The attack was part of “increasing hostility on the left,” but Speaker Paul Ryan didn’t see it that way.
“We are all horrified by this dreadful attack on our friends and our colleagues,” said Ryan, who failed to name or condemn Hodgkinson or identify his motives. House minority leader Nancy Pelosi called the shooting an “injury in the family,” and the PBS story said Rep. Scalise was “injured,” language more suited for an accident than a planned shooting. Pelosi rejected the suggestion that “vitriolic rhetoric from the left” was to blame.
“I condemn this action in the strongest possible terms,” proclaimed Bernie Sanders, who did not identify James Hodgkinson or name the victims. Hodgkinson’s “action” was authentic domestic terrorism but congressional Democrats failed to condemn it as such or even to call it “gun violence” and demand a ban on “assault weapons.” That recalls “Soldier of Allah” Nidal Hasan’s mass murder at Fort Hood in 2009, which the Obama administration called “workplace violence,” not terrorism or even “gun violence.”
After several surgeries, Steve Scalise returned to Congress on September 27 to a standing ovation. In 2018, Scalise took the field at the congressional baseball game, fielding a ground ball and throwing out the first batter. The attack itself was largely ignored, and seven years later, hostility on the left is raging as never before. Biden has been a disaster, but Donald Trump remains the primary target.
Rep. Bennie Thompson, who ran the Democrats’ January 6 committee, has now authored the “Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable (DISGRACED) Former Protectees Act,” which would remove Trump’s Secret Service protection if he is convicted of a felony. As Robert Spencer explains, it’s the “bill to make it easier to kill Trump.” The spirit of James Hodgkinson is alive and well in Congress, and consider developments at The Nation, the Dead Sea Scrolls of the American left.
“Strengthening the ties between the anti-war/anti-imperialist/peace and environmental/climate/justice movements has long been a priority for both of us,” Jeff Jones and Eleanor Stein explain. “The globe’s two most immediate crises—climate change and genocide—are dimensions of the same system with different facets: Call it racial capitalism, imperialism, settler colonialism, environmental racism, or extractivism. Let’s examine this intersection.”
The campus jihadists are now contending that “Zionists do not deserve to live,” by which they mean Jews do not deserve to live. For their part, the climate jihadists are contending that Sen. Lisa Murkowski “is a murderer,” and everybody knows what murderers deserve. On June 9, members of Congress will assemble for a baseball game. Climate Defiance, once hosted by the Biden White House, aims to shut it down.
As Trump says, we’ll have to see what happens.
plain as day for me. until such a time the left acknowledges the violence, refrain from becoming a target. i would not attend any games after scalise shooting. so much more left violence has happened since the scalise shooting. would not put it past todays youngsters and left to act out violently with little to no provocation. unfortunately, many people are getting wise to the violence and i fear many of those actors may come up missing. same reason i do not shop at walmart, do not become a target/victim. as a young man i would frequent the seedy parts of town looking for trouble, now i can drive to just about any parking lot with the hood up and find it. it will change, and it will be ugly.
I wonder where t heir Power for their Lights come from these Climate Defiance useful idiots what’s prints up their banners with their stupid message comes from what’s their Banner made from. Ask them those questions and get that blank eyed look and Duuuuuuhhhh they go
A lot of their clothes and personal accoutrements are oil based. If they want to end fossil fuels, they can start with the end of their cell phones. Stupid twits. And good luck living longer than it takes to die of privation without fossil fuels. The only question would be which type of privation were to kill them first.
If you can’t hang out with the cool kids and go to cool parties, join a “cause” and hang out with your fellow dorks and rejects. Be exploited by evil people who hate America and want to destroy it. “End fossil fuels! Save the Earth! No justice, no peace! Black lies matter! Free Palestine!” All slogans preferably shouted during self immolation.
As college students they should also know the differences between climate, weather and temperature but even most normal people who are aware of the global climate warming change hoax seem to have trouble with the definition of “climate.”
Uh,,, news flash. I read this morning that NYPD for once did the right thing and ARRESTED everyone they could round up inside that invaded building they had taken over. Before you finish reading this , tell me what percent of those arrested were students, and non-students. i will ansser at the end. NOT a trick question.
I also was hit upside me haid when I saw the pics of the field takeover at Columbia.. all those nice new identical tents came out of the same shipping container PLASTIC tents…… meanwhile spurting out their own pieholes was the mantra “carbon bad”. Sure, I am all for giving hem what they want.. NO MORE CARBON for you lot. No, not even a potato chip. ALL food has somecarbi=on in it, and when you eat it, some of that carbon is released into the air as CO2. Chew on THAT one for a while.
I’d like t get a galggle if these clowns in annenclosed environment and begin to give them some real live science on carbon. I’d start with “OK youse guys, you don’t l
iike carbon, and you especially don’t like CO2. I’m not gonna insist you stop exhaling for thenextt month, but I will assure you none will consume even one molecule of carbon for the nt month. In case you re ignorant, that means NO FOOD because almost all food contains CARBON. and now you’re gonna listen to some hard science.
to answer the percent question I posed earlier.. A\according to the press release I read earlier today, NYPD have disclosed that ALL 300 of the arrestees have absolutely NO connexion with that university at any level.
I hope they alll get as fair a trial as New York are giving Donald J Trump.
The dorks in the photo above aren’t the Hamas homos who occupied Hamilton Hall at Columbia.
Yeash, all life on planet Earth is carbon based and plants need it for cellular growth. They can’t survive without it. They extract CO2 from the air, keep the carbon and expel the oxygen for us fauna to live off of.
Shocker that outside agitators were arrested in Hamilton Hall. Alvin Bragg will let them all go, of course. They busted open book cases of rare and expensive books and stole them all while they were squatting there. Who knows how much vandalism they committed but it’s a safe bet it was a lot.
And they had the cheek to demand the university provide free food and drink. They said the “students” had all paid for food vouchers with their tuition. When I saw the female on TV who claimed to be a spokesperson for the criminal mob make her demand, I shouted “walk to McDonald’s, bitch!”
As Rush Limbaugh used to say: “Young skulls full of mush.”

“The globe’s two most immediate crises—climate change and genocide—are …
Lies.
Sandesh Titulescu
.”Biden has been a disaster,..”
Well, that’s the understatement of the year.
Look! More dorky youngsters who don’t get invited to parties and can’t hang out with the cool crowd! Just like the pro-Hamas scumbags. So they make their own reject parties in the form of moronic and anti-American protests.
Nerds can be cool but dorks can’t. They’ll always resent us normal people and whine, complain and throw tantrums over it. The worse their morals are, the worse the causes they screech about are. No wonder they believe their professors and anybody else who encourages oikophobia. Death to the cool people!
Some grow up but some become stinky old hippies who never change because they can’t fit in with the cool and normal people. They’re lifelong dorks and rejects and most of them have mental health issues.
Along with the Dirtbagocrats who pander to them and the genocidal islamopithecines, these are the last people on Earth anybody should listen to. The ideas and acts of all three groups are stupid and dangerous. They need to be expunged, the way the CCP expunges the toxic Uyghurs.
And I’ll betcha their parents are all upper class liberals who pampered them and chose to be their children’s friend instead of their parents and tolerated their childish tantrums. What we’re seeing today on college campuses are the results of such “parenting” (or a lack there of.) I was once a college student and saw it all first hand. I despised those mewling self righteous candy-ass twits way back then and even more so today..
He’s an idea who’s time has come: Every police department has a SWAT team. In today’s environment with all the rioting taking place on college campuses around the country, what police departments now need are well equipped ‘Rodney King” squads to deal with rioters!
I detested them in school, too. Being privileged doesn’t mean a person has to be a spoiled punk.
And a Riot Smasher police squads is a great idea and should be federally mandated, if possible. I would name them George Floyd or BLM squads if I could, though. 🙂
In my experience, people who come from privilege and wealth tend to have little to no moral foundation and rarely grasp the full meaning of consequences.
They’re often crowd followers and don’t stand for much of anything and thus naively fall for whatever is popular or the flavor of the day. They’re the kind of people who will jump off a cliff to their death just because that’s what everyone else is doing.
Yes. Treat them like a King!!!
didjya read about the 63 year old hippie freak anarcho-libber came out of reirement and was coaching the “occupiers” on how to do it well and not get caught? I cracked up.
He must’ve been desperate to be relevant.
Note to guy in the photo wearing a ball cap…..No matter what cause you get involved in, you will still remain a virgin.
All of them are freaks in need of attention. Some cause to make their lives have meaning.
I’d guess that the Fossil Fuels Team is the farm club for the HAMAS Team. If they scream loud enough they can get moved up the the big leagues.
LOL! I’ll bet baseball boy has never even played baseball before. He probably had a Dr’s excuse to avoid P.E. And I also bet he’d say he’s a virgin by choice.
I’d say the female on the right hasn’t walked this much in years. Bet she drove to school in a gas powered car as she probably can’t afford an EV.
EV’s are powered largely by coal and are made from truly filthy technologies to extract and refine rare-earth materials. There is nothing virtuous about them.
I wonder if the little soy boy is carrying a purse in his right hand. Maybe the fat girl wearing the same t-shirt is his girl friend. The best he can do.
And oh, yeah. The only other people besides dorky rejects who get behind “causes” are people in it for the money like the global climate warming hucksters, and people who want attention, like celebrities, and on their flip side, the nobodies. Many of those people are dorks, too, of course.
The violent anti-America college campus insanities of the 1960’s came to an abrupt end on May 4, 1970 at Kent State
University in Ohio with the killing of four and wounding of nine college students by the Ohio National Guard.
Just an historical note since the May 4 Kent State 54th Anniversary is just 2 days away.
Maybe the National Guard needs to deployed again all over US college campuses and in public places to deal with the spreading depraved psychopathic murderous violent Hamas/Islamic criminal activity in America.
Depraved psychopathic violent murderous delusional Islam is the enemy of America and US citizens.
America’s leaders and politicians need to do something effective to rid America of the scourge of Islam.
1400 years of Islamic depravity psychopathology, murder, violence, wars and brainwashing lies is enough already.
I’d like to see a special law enforcement department called the Crusaders, designed specifically to go after islamopithecine criminals like the Hamas rioters.
Hey, I can dream, can’t I?
islampithecines.
I’m stealing that one!!! Thanks
It must be painful to be as stupid as those useful idiot children. If they were serious about ENDING FOSSIL FUELS!™ the photo accompanying the article would be of a herd of naked kids looking shocked. College makes people incapable of critical thinking.
<>
Give these poor kids a break. Thinking, especially critical thinking, is hard work. It hurts the brain. It’s so much easier to march around, wave your arms, beat a drum and shout almost-rhyming slogans.
Depraved psychopathic murderous berserk Islam brainwashes kids
to get them to become intolerant murderers.
Some kids really do become killers.
For example … the Hitler Youth. Brigades.
Naked dorkmos running or swimming from carnivores or dead from privation.
well, they are all on about reducing carbon consumption, no? Ceasing to eat is ne excellent way of doing tha. May ever more of them volunteer to become martyrs to the cause…..
So foreign Muslim agitators bring their ‘death to Jews & Zionists’ crap here, then fair is fair – we should all start carrying signs and chant ‘death to Muslims’. Of course if we did so, it would be labeled as Islamophobia by the political left. Of course if we did so, Biden would then have a news conference and call us domestic terrorists. Of course if we did so, the mainstream media would have a field day in portraying us as MAGA extremists. Which leads to the inevitable conclusion why the deck is stacked against us and we are not permitted to fight back.
And the police in blue cities would arrest us and we’d get jail or prison sentences.
We do NOT need “their” “permission” to fight back. Just make sure THEY fire the first shots, just as General Gage’s men fired the first rounds a Lxington 249 years ago. We ALL know what came next fr those tho did fire.
It would be nice if American patriots were formed into militiamen but we aren’t, and our federal and local governments would prevent any attempt to do so, at great cost to any who tried. Imprisonment, financial ruin or murder.
Take the Proud Boys, for instance. They don’t break any laws and they help innocent people against violent anti-American criminals but they’re persecuted for their efforts.
Give these idiots what they want. Turn off all the electricity, wi-fi, air-conditioning, etc; remove any food that was produced using any machinery that was powered by diesel/gas, shipped on any form of transportation that wasn’t electric (except they can’t use an EV if it was charged at a station that is powered by a coal fired plant;
Disallow any use of cellphones, laptops, and other “fossil fueled” product. That’s a good start. I’m sure their are dozens of other modern conveniences that they should be forbidden to use
Refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, electrical outlets, TVs, stereos, cars, busses, trains, airplanes, many types of clothing and more.
Not quite. We must deprive them of ALL food. Why? What happens when they EAT that food?
Right… they turn some of it into carbon dioxide. Which “kills” the planet.
If we do eliminate fossil fuels, which petroleum rich countries are going to fund organizations such as this? Biting the hand that feeds.
How much of this lunacy is due to isolation of the 2 year manipulated shutdown from the pLandemic? It made these youths crazy. They had no life experiences, rearing and mentors to draw on to keep their sanity. The lunatic fringe has become unhinged, They know not the truth and have been propagandized someone to blame and hate just like in the early days of nazzi Germany when they were told the Jews are to blame. They’ve been coddled all their lives. Participation trophies, let them get their reality from laptops and computing devices. They don’t call they text. They’re insane. Incarceration may straighten them out or they may be emotionally ruined for life.
Anywhere Clinton thug John Podesta is connected there us violence crime corruption and death. Of course he is funded and deeply attached to Soros open society criminals.

Oil and natural gas do not come from fossilized dinosaurs! Thus, they are not fossil fuels. That’s a myth. According to Wikipedia, the term “fossil fuel” was first used by German chemist Caspar Neumann in 1759. It was subsequently used more ubiquitously in the early 1900s to give people the idea that petroleum, coal and natural gas come from ancient living things, making them a natural substance
Petroleum is called hydrocarbon because of hydrogen attached to carbon. Hydrogen-carbon bonds are very high in energy. Biological material has oxygen with it, called carbohydrate, which has less chemical energy.
There is no way to increase chemical energy other than radiation. (ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) and similar reactions do not increase energy; they transfers energy with some loss.) Heat and pressure will not increase chemical energy, because they act upon nuclei, while chemical energy is in electrons which spin around nuclei. There is nothing that can be done to nuclei which will increase the motion of electrons which spin around them short of a nuclear reaction. (All chemical reactions go down-hill energetically with some energy loss as heat. There is not a one which does not lose energy apart from photochemical reactions.)
It means so-called fossil fuels did not originate with biological materials, because they were not exposed to light in a way which would increase the chemical energy from carbohydrates to hydrocarbons.
Agree on oil, which might actually be of abiotic origin and in any event is not made from fossilized anything. But coal? Not so sure. There are some beautiful fossils preserved in coal deposits, which does not prove anything about coal’s origins, but there does seem to be some evidence that it is of biological origin. And since natural gas is found in coal deposits, what’s its provenance?
Did you know that if you squeeze a lump of coal hard enough, it compresses into a diamond?
Ya sure I bet you think the moon landings were filmed in Arizona by Stanley Kubrick.
The end of “fossil” fuels is the end of food.
It’s going to be fun watching them find out.
How is i that, having learned of the Republican baseball team getting shot up within only a few hours of it happening, I am only just now getting the backstory on the perp and obvous moives and goals? I do O live ina vacuum but cannot believe today is the first I’ve heard”the rest of the story”. mm.
If these Useful idiots gave up all use of Fossil Fuels including all their products and the Transporation they would all be standing naked in a empty field freezing their toes off Hungry and Thirsty and bored out of their Skulls
