OPINION: Biden’s Climate agenda is a power grab that will destroy American capitalism

President Joe Biden and his Vice President Kamala Harris were exalted by Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, a self-proclaimed Democrat socialist, as the most progressive administration in White House history. Sanders was right. In Biden’s first weeks he’s signed 17 executive orders, turning over many of President Donald Trump’s policies on their heads. So-called environmental protection and climate policies have been at the forefront.
Can you imagine what changes are in store in the next four years? Mark my words, combating climate change will be the Biden administration’s religion, which his senior officials will use to usher in both national, economic and societal change. It’s exactly what Biden’s biggest donors and supporters are now pushing for and by the way, reminding him that they hold the purse strings. These changes are meant more to protect their own pocketbooks and push their global policy agendas.
Biden’s economic climate agenda is a power grab that will destroy American capitalism. Remember, New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who was highly criticized for her Green New Deal proposal, co-chairs Biden’s environmental task force. Mind you, she has no scientific background or education on the subject. She’s an activist. Biden’s environmental climate change plan is really nothing more than a multi-trillion-dollar plan for the government to take over institutions and reshape the U.S. economy.
This is not about the environment. It is a way to change the system by cloaking it in a cause. Biden has already made this push perfectly clear.
He’s already banned the Keystone XL pipeline. This move has left other oil and energy companies nervous that there will be more bans in the future leading to thousands of lost jobs and failed alleged green friendly projects like the solar powered project by the failed company Solyndra, which wasted hundreds of millions in federal funds.
Just think about it, more than 185,000 people are employed by the coal industry and more than 1.5 million in oil and gas industries in America. Can you imagine what these other companies are thinking? What the employees of these companies are thinking?
Will they be the next Keystone XL pipeline victims?
Millions of jobs will be on the line if Amazon’s CEO Jeff Bezos, actor Leonardo DiCaprio, among others, have their way.
Biden is being called by leftist elitists who supported his campaign to make his legacy that of the ‘climate president.’ In a letter signed Sunday by big tech giants, including Bezos, actors, like DiCaprio, actress Rosanna Arquette and a multitude of activists, including Latricia Adams, Founder of Black Millennials for Flint are begging Biden to take on the role.
Biden is getting a lesson on how far the “progressively rich” who supported his campaign beyond just financial want him to support their vision of the future.
He’s not going to be like Trump, who touted an America first policy agenda. Biden will put China, climate change and other global issues first. He will use his allies in big tech to ensure that the messages his administration wants to be pushed are the narrative on social media. In America, we’ve already seen how people are silenced when they question the narrative of the administration or the mainstream media outlets.
Here’s some of the letter signed by some of Biden’s wealthiest supporters and posted online.
“You can be remembered as the “climate president” who led humanity away from the cliff’s edge,” the letter signed by nBiden supporters and donors said. “You can transform the world’s energy systems from fossil fuels to clean energy, while also creating an abundance of jobs, reducing harmful pollution, and tackling economic, racial, and health inequality in the process.”
“Choosing to take bold leadership will allow us to build back better and to build forward to a new world we can create together,” the letter stated. “By rejoining the Paris Agreement on day one, you have moved the United States in the right direction. But, as you have stated, it is simply not enough, and we must “do all we possibly can.”
Trump was right in pulling from the Paris Accord. The accord does little for the United States and instead allows China to continue it’s massive pollution of its nation and the planet.
Under the Paris Accord, the United States would be forced to reduce carbon emissions by 2025 to at least 28%. What would happen to Americans? Well, we already have one of the lowest carbon emissions on the planet but reducing the emissions to at least 28% would mean the average family’s electricity would go up substantially.
The Chinese Communist Party is not required to do much than what they are already doing, as stated in a 2019 New York Times opinion piece, “What China is pledging to do here is not a lot different from what China’s policies are on track to deliver.”
It’s simple. The climate gurus want you to believe that the policy changes they are asking the Biden Administration to make are for the betterment of the planet. This is not the case, because these policies are mainly being used to take more economic control from businesses, increasing regulations and stifling economic growth and ingenuity.
Moreover, we’re seeing fundamental changes in our nation that exceed what our Founding Father’s intended for individual liberty and freedom to flourish.
What we are witnessing, with the excuse and assistance of the Climate Change policies, is an intrusive government with an overreach that shreds the values established in our Constitution.

Massachusetts Democrat Mayor wants to end ‘right-to-shelter’ law amidst migrant crisis

More Democrat leaders from non-border states are wising up to the immigration crisis our nation faces. Woburn mayor Scott Galvin, of the progressive state of Massachusetts, is hoping that lawmakers will overturn a 40-year-old law because the reality of being “bleeding heart liberals” is resulting in the demise of his town.
The 40-year-old “right-to-shelter” law has got to go, says mayor Galvin, because of the immense strain the thousands of migrant families are putting on the area’s residents. By Friday, there were about 150 families living in the city’s hotels, an “unsustainable” arrangement for his 40,000 constituents.
Galvin told the New York Times the right-to-shelter law, which only exists in Massachusetts, was “passed at a different time, and was not meant to cover what we’re seeing now.”
National Review reports:
Under the 1983 right-to-shelter law, Massachusetts officials are legally required to offer housing to any homeless families seeking shelter in the state. The law now covers a rising influx of migrant families, although individuals are not covered under its provisions.
“We’re going above and beyond, while some communities around us are not being impacted, and we don’t have endless capacity in our schools,” said Galvin. “The benefits that are bestowed on migrants make the state a very attractive destination, and without some changes, this challenge is not going to abate.”
Massachusetts Democrat Governor Maura Healey already declared a state of emergency on August 8th, requesting help from the federal government. On August 31, Healey activated up to 250 Massachusetts National Guard members to assist the more than 6,000 migrant families already in the state’s shelter system.
Approximately 6,300 families are living in emergency shelters and hotels across the state, up roughly 50 percent from the year prior. The cost for such accommodations for all the migrants is approximately $45 million per month, National Review reports.
