I'm pulling for the European populist radicals! Go Team PopRad! Hopefully we in the US can join you in throwing off the yoke of transition and declining quality of life.

Why is it so important to the EU? Are they all captured? By whom?

Great info on these upcoming EU elections, Irina, and it helps explain this "Bloomberg" article from this week:

"2024 Is the Year of Elections and That’s a Threat to Democracy

More than 40% of the global population will be voting this year, and we have a 10% chance everything will go well.

January 7, 2024 at 8:00 AM EST"

By "everything will go well", they mean electing only greens, of course.

When elections become "threats to democracy", how long before the democracy-keepers decide to suspend democracy in order to save it?

1st there is no transition, only expensive additions favored by leftists.

2nd the esabocc is a bunch of academics that claim to be sr scientific experts. Well they claim whatever they want but the science of climate and the earth’s history don’t support their government financial support predetermined results work programme. A bunch of esoteric nonsense.

And I’m not giving up eating animals to start eating bugs!

The bobbleheads on the left assume that their legislation, executive orders, etc. are permanent & therefore can't be undone. It's been frustrating here in the US to see conservatives forget that they can legislate too. Perhaps the clock will be wound backwards in Europe, and more people in the US will see that, what has been done, can be UNDONE! Thanks for another great article. 👌

Do you remember the 4 hours on - 4 hours off power rationing is Sofia, Irina? Maybe you’re too young, but I think you should buckle up for a fun, albeit scary, ride, courtesy of the woke European bootlickers...

We're seeing the same desperate last-minute push for as many rules and regulations as possible to stop fossil fuels and speed up the holy 'transition' in the US. Witness this weeks' news about the administration's 'pause' on the LNG project that was already approved and permitted in Louisiana.

It's not that their ideas are expensive and don't work, it's that they can't work, not if you know anything at all about how the grid functions. Most people working for utilities know this. But if you say it, you get drowned out by people suggesting you're in the pocket of this or that evil organization.

We can solve the problem, just not the way they insist we do it.

Super, Irina.

"Because if there is one thing that the current EU leadership truly excels at, it is harming itself in the genuine belief it is harming its enemies."

(one suggestion: "and its subjects" after "itself").

Things really started to turn when they decided to label farming an ecocide, raising taxes, and all but talking of outlawing it. Maybe they did in Belgium?

Insanity to attack our food.

Now that Biden has stopped the flow of LNG to Europe it will be interesting to see how they react. First we blow up Nordstream which results in more US LNG sales, then we shut off the supply when the US Climate Change Cultists start leaning on Biden. Just to make it more interesting, what is the Euro reaction when Ukraine turns into a US led humiliation and loss? When things get tough people and politicians start looking for someone to blame and an easy scapegoat is going to be the US and its leadership of NATO and the EU.

For those of us that don't always click through, from the CFR:

"Anti-European populists are likely to top the polls in nine member states (

1. Austria,

2. Belgium,

3. the Czech Republic,

4. France,

5. Hungary,

6. Italy,

7. the Netherlands,

8. Poland, and

9. Slovakia

) and come second or third in a further nine countries (

1. Bulgaria,

2. Estonia,

3. Finland,

4. Germany,

5. Latvia,

6. Portugal,

7. Romania,

8. Spain, and

9. Sweden

)."

So interesting. Keep those cards and letters coming!

Interesting to note the states that aren't members of the EU.
