Limousine Libtardian demonstration of HYPOCRICY!

Biden's 85-vehicle motorcade a textbook example of hypocrisy from 'limousine liberals': Boothe 'The Big Saturday Show's' panelists uncovered the 'rules for thee, but not for me' hypocrisy of the modern left By Graham Colton | Fox News Want proof that President Biden is just another "limousine liberal"? Check out his 85-vehicle motorcade through Rome this weekend ahead of Sunday's COP26 UN Climate Change Conference, says Fox News contributor Lisa Boothe. Boothe called climate change a "limousine liberal issue" during an appearance on Fox News' "The Big Saturday Show" in the aftermath of Biden's extravagant vehicular display overseas. "The issue of climate change is a limousine liberal issue," Boothe said. "The Republican Party has turned into the party for the American worker, and Democrats are the party for coastal elites. This issue alone underscores that point." VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: THE SECRET THAT BIDEN, OBAMA, HILLARY WON'T SAY ALOUD ABOUT TODAY'S DEMOCRATIC PARTY Boothe also cited Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., illegally parking her "$59,000" Tesla outside a Whole Foods store and U.S. climate envoy John Kerry "exclusively [flying] private" as examples of "limousine liberal issues … [that] hurt hardworking Americans the most."

They don't care about emissions. All they care about is virtue-signaling to their other limousine liberal friends." "They don't care about emissions.

"What gets me," he continued, is that "every single one" of the Democrats who "bash[ed]" energy executives for oil production and contributing to climate change at a House hearing earlier this week "fl[ies] on airplanes, …drive[s] cars, …heat[s] their homes, …turn[s] on the lights," etc. "And they're bashing every single one of the energy executives who actually produce the energies that make their lives work," he said.

Panelist Jackie DeAngelis questioned why Biden does not apply "more pressure" on China and India - "the two biggest polluters in the world" - instead of taxing Americans to fund electric vehicle subsidies and other climate change provisions in the social spending bill.

As DeAngelis noted, AAA's national average price for a gallon of gas was $3.40 Saturday, compared to $2.14 only a year ago. Oil prices have hit a seven-year high of about $85 per barrel "when they were sub-$50 for the longest time," she said.

Musings:

How does this happen? 10 Poorest Cities in America (How did it happen?) City, State, % of People Below the Poverty Level 1. Detroit , MI 32.5% 2. Buffalo , NY 29.9% 3 Cincinnati , OH 27.8% 4. Cleveland , OH 27.0% 5. Miami , FL 26.9% 5 St. Louis , MO 26.8% 7 El Paso , TX 26.4% 8. Milwaukee , WI 26.2% 9. Philadelphia , PA 25.1% 10. Newark , NJ 24.2% (Now, watch closely... at no time will the fingers leave the hands...) What do these top ten cities (over 250,000 pop.) with the highest poverty rate all have in common? 1. Detroit, MI - (1st on poverty rate list) hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1961 2. Buffalo, NY - (2nd) Democrat mayors since 1954 3. Cincinnati, OH - (3rd) Democrat mayors since 1984 4. Cleveland, OH - (4th) since 1989 5. Miami, FL - (5th) has NEVER had a Republican mayor 6. St. Louis, MO - (6th) not since 1949 7. El Paso, TX - (7th) has NEVER had a Republican mayor 8. Milwaukee, WI - (8th) not since 1908 9. Philadelphia, PA - (9th) not since 1952 10. Newark, NJ - (10th) not since 1907 (this is not a misprint!) Einstein once said, 'The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.' Are the poor habitually electing Democrats ... yet they are still poor? "You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence. You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves." ~ Abraham Lincoln Makes you think old Abe was onto something?

Portrait of Biden’s Marxist Socialist Democratic Regime’s Accomplishments to date! One of my best…

Tax & Spend…it’s their plan to keep the Marxist Socialist Democratic Party in POWER! They’re after the Richest today and you’re next in line….”Socialism works until you run out of other peoples $$$” THINK VENEZUELA!

Oops! China's 'Stealth Ships' Aren’t So Stealthy After All It turns out that China's Type-022 missile boats aren't resistant to radar detection. BY KYLE MIZOKAMI OCT 27, 2021

Oops! China's 'Stealth Ships' Aren’t So Stealthy After All It turns out that China's Type-022 missile boats aren't resistant to radar detection. BY KYLE MIZOKAMI OCT 27, 2021 type 022U.S. NAVY China's Type-022 missile boats have long been seen as stealthy. The boats feature sharp angular lines and hidden missile launchers. In reality, the boats show up in commercially available radar scans of the Chinese coastline. China's largest class of warships—once thought to be wholly resistant to radar detection—are actually quite visible to radar scans after all. The Houbei-class fast-attack boats, which bristle with anti-ship missiles, are easily seen in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) that remote sensing companies use, according to naval authority H.I. Sutton, author of the Covert Shores blog. He has uncovered convincing evidence that the Type-022's radar-evading design is a myth. This calls into serious question whether other forms of radar can detect the boats, too, and whether or not their stealthy lines are actually just for show. In the mid-2000s, China built a fleet of 82 Type-022 fast-attack craft. Known as the Houbei-class, the tiny boats are just 141 feet long and displace 250 tons. A catamaran design, each can sail at a top speed of 36 knots and support a crew of 14. Each is equipped with an AK-630 30-millimeter Gatling gun and eight YJ-83 anti-ship missiles, giving them the firepower of a destroyer. China likely built the large fleet of ships, useful for coastal defense, as a response to the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz's transit of the Taiwan Strait in 1995. At the time, the People's Liberation Army Navy was powerless to stop the carrier from passing through the waterway separating Taiwan from mainland China. ✅ GET THE FACTS: THE TAIWAN STRAIT CRISIS Will Tensions Over Taiwan Lead to an All-Out War? The Type-022 boats have long been seen as stealthy. The boats have a low profile in the water, flat surfaces, and sharp, angular lines. The eight anti-ship missiles are carried above deck, but in sloped box launchers that are part of the hull (rather than in individual missile canisters like Harpoon missiles on the deck of an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer). Sutton agrees that the Houbei-class boats certainly look stealthy: "Everything is carefully angled and even the window frames have saw-tooth edges," he notes in a piece for USNI News. Even Combat Fleets of the World, the authoritative guide to navies worldwide, describes the Type-022 class as including "numerous signature reduction and stealth features." Well, maybe not. This content is imported from Twitter. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site. Sutton worked with San Francisco, California-based Capella Space to show that space-based Synthetic Aperture Radar can easily detect the boats. Various features of the boats are visible in the radar images he acquired, including the bow and missile box launchers. Radar covers a large band of frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum, and the bands, typically named with a Roman letter, often have unique capabilities. Synthetic Aperture Radar, for example, can penetrate clouds, rain, and even tree canopy cover to survey the ground below. This makes it particularly suitable for remote Earth-sensing duties, including tracking forests, ice, and even different types of agricultural crops. Capella satellites use X-band radar in the 9.4 to 9.9 Gigahertz range. So, is the Type-022's detectability by Synthetic Aperture Radars a problem for the Chinese fleet? It's quite possible. The AN/APG-81 radar mounted on the nose of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter also operates in the X-band. Ticonderoga and Arleigh Burke-class cruisers and destroyers use the SPY-1 radar system (which operates in the S-band), which is also used to an extent in Synthetic Aperture Radar. Other military surveillance assets, including satellites and aircraft, also use dedicated SAR radar to track everything from tank columns to the periscopes of submarines. The Arleigh Burke-class destroyers were the first surface combatants in the U.S. Navy built with radar reduction in mind. Although the Burke-class ships are covered from bow to stern with guns, antennas, missile launchers, and even hand railings, they are thought to incorporate some level of radar efficiency reduction. (That's a good thing for wartime, not so good for peacetime, when navigating around commercial ships that rely on radar for situational awareness.) Satellites Can Detect Warships by Radar Signals Can This New Radar System Track the Stealthy F-35? The kings of stealth at sea are the U.S. Navy's three Zumwalt-class stealth destroyers. The Zumwalt, Michael Monsoor, and Lyndon B. Johnson appear in some ways similar to the Type-022, but the U.S. military's long experience with stealth means their covertness is unquestionable. Each of the destroyers is 600 feet long, yet reportedly appears the same size on radar as a small fishing boat.

Truth Social: Something good for Social Media & AMERICA!

Exclusive: Company says it will put Trump back online Margaret Harding McGill RightForge, an internet infrastructure company that courts conservatives, will host former President Trump's new social media platform, CEO Martín Avila told Axios on Monday. Why it matters: By relying on a web hosting service that won't cut ties over controversial comments, Trump's new platform could avoid the problems conservative network Parler faced when Amazon pulled its web services following the Capitol insurrection. Yes, but: Representatives affiliated with the Trump network declined to comment on whether RightForge is their provider, and Trump's business deals are notoriously messy and full of reversals. Driving the news: RightForge is preparing for Trump's new social media network, Truth Social, to have more than 75 million users, Avila said. "We're laying the groundwork for that," Avila said. "That's why there will be servers everywhere." Avila said RightForge spent 2021 building a global network in response to the de-platforming of Trump and Parler, and the Trump team approached the company over the summer. "If you believe that the president should be de-platformed, we believe that you're not really interested in living in a free country," Avila told Axios. "And that's really what we're all about is making sure that America stays true to its core ideas, and that the market
place of ideas stays open." What's happening: The Trump Media & Technology Group announced Truth Social earlier this month. The business says its mission is "to create a rival to the liberal media consortium and fight back against the 'Big Tech' companies of Silicon Valley, which have used their unilateral power to silence opposing voices in America." Trump was banned from the major social apps after the insurrection. Truth Social is expected to begin a launch for invited guests in November, with a nationwide rollout expected in the first quarter of next year.
