Biden, The Movie-Coming Attractions
Although this essay is written for all the residents in the United States, it is written specifically for the residents of Georgia. Georgians have the opportunity to maintain Republican control of the Senate.
Some may see me as a defeatist, but I prefer to salvage what we can from what a Biden-Harris administration will bring to all 50 states. Georgians are going to be inundated with misinformation in the weeks before the Senate runoff election; it’s already begun with Leftists encouraging non-residents to move to Georgia and become temporary residents, to then vote in the runoff.
I urge Georgians to not take the advice of pro-Trump attorney L.Lin Wood about voting in the Georgia runoff. According to Newsmax:
In a series of weekend tweets, Wood asked Georgians not to vote for Republican Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue unless they help overturn the election results in the state.
“Let’s speak truth about @SenLoeffler & @sendavidperdue. Why are they doing little or nothing to support efforts by GA citizens to address unlawful election & need for @BrianKempGA to order special session of legislature?” Wood tweeted. “If not fixed, I will NOT vote in GA runoff,” he continued. “Will you?”
This type of advice reminds me of the old joke about the husband who comes from work and finds his wife in bed with another man. The betrayed husband takes a pistol from the dresser and puts up to his head. The wife and her lover start laughing. The husband says; “Why are you laughing? You two are next.”
John Kerry has now been appointed as Biden’s Climate Czar, and this does not require a Senate confirmation hearing. From National Review:
“America will soon have a government that treats the climate crisis as the urgent national security threat it is,” Kerry wrote in a Twitter post. “I’m proud to partner with the President-elect, our allies, and the young leaders of the climate movement to take on this crisis as the President’s Climate Envoy.”
The Biden-Harris team noted that Kerry “was a key architect of the Paris Climate Accord” of 2015. President Trump later pulled out of the treaty, saying its criterion for reducing emissions harmed American manufacturing and energy jobs.
Although John Kerry is not subject to confirmation from the Senate, I’m sure that he would love to help write legislation to try and kill fossil fuel generation in the United States.
The average price per gallon of gasoline in the US is $2.110 according to AAA (here’s a link to the averages for each state). The average in France is $5.996 per gallon.
The price of goods that are delivered by trucks and trains, as well as travel will rise in the U.S. John Kerry can afford that increase; he earned his money the old-fashioned way: he married into it. Tech oligarchs and hedge fund oligarchs can afford these increases as well.
I will probably write another essay on the “Biden Movie” in the days to come, until that time I urge Georgians to take away the Kamala Harris deciding vote in the Senate.

It would be nice if a large portion of Georgia voters read Ricochet, but I daresay that’s not the case.
Any Georgian on Ricochet is free to remove my name from this essay and print out copies for their friends, and neighbors.
Right-minded people in GA need to vote early and often and help others to vote early and often. They must also remember that voting rules are only for Republican counties, so if you live downstate be perfect.
Biden Nominee for Treasury Sec. is Janet Yellen. She favors a carbon tax to save the planet from the existential threat of climate change.
She also highlights low immigration as a cause for slow US growth. This from a Feb 2020 interview …
“Part of it reflects a slowdown in labor force growth. We have an aging population, less immigration, so labor force growth is really contributing very little to potential output growth going forward. ”
So she fits right in with the open borders clique.
And recall that Yellen didn’t get re-appointed to the Fed by President Trump. She has an axe to grind. Watch out for her wanting to uproot any and all things Trump sponsored. Immigration, restructured NAFTA and China tariffs will be first on the list, I’d imagine.
Climate Czar John Kerry?
I wouldn’t let that idiot moor my boat.
But he might make an acceptable anchor.
And if he going to have a Climate Czar, he’s going to have a Gun Czar as well. And will that be a doofus on a skateboard . . .
probably.
He’s another guy with a multi million dollar beachfront house. Clearly not worried about rising sea levels.
Okay. I can see that.
Secure him with a rope and we’ll take him out for a test.
I have an idea for the movie title.
“Springtime For Biden.”
Worried about it? He’s looking forward to it.
And his mansion is right underneath him there…
We just saw what Trump support / GOP support / Deplorable support is worth. Every GOP can vote 3 to one against the Dems and their magical mail in machine will whip us every time. Good luck GA, but don’t expect your effort to actually work.
“The price of goods that are delivered by trucks and trains, as well as travel will rise in the U.S.”
Also, a lot of manufacturing businesses use a lot of energy, and increased gas/coal/electricity prices are likely to cripple many of them.
The idiots/Democrats have never heard of “petrochemicals.” They think all oil is burned.
I think I’ve seen it already. At the end there is this forever dolly-in to a fire and the guy keeps saying, “Rosebud, Rosebud…”.
Mr. Evans should know that the Paris Accords was not a treaty.
And neither was the “Iran Deal.”
