KGTP Newsletter - 3 March 2020


Fellow Members of the King George TEA Party:
.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone THIS THURSDAY 5 March for our monthly meeting.  We do not have any invited guest speakers but we will encourage anyone wishing to address the membership and present their interest in leading the KGTP as Chairman.  Please do try to limit your remarks to less than 5 minutes per person.  We will hold an election for KGTP Chairman during the April meeting.

Tomorrow, Tuesday, is Super Tuesday when the Virginia Democrats will hold their primary election.  I sent out an e-mail on this subject last week (found here: https://www.kinggeorgeteaparty.com/e-mail---28-february-2020.html).  There were a couple of additional news articles on the subject of non-Democrats voting in this Democrat primary that you may find interesting:

I did receive some feedback on this and below was my response to that "push back":

Yep, I understand.  Neither of those consequences (spam mail from the Democrats or being barred from the Republican committee) is an issue for most folks.  Those are the consequences.  The rewards would be to put an end to thought that Socialism is a viable form of American government.  A pretty clear decision for me.

I will reiterate my closing thought from the 28 February e-mail to everyone:  "Let your conscience be your guide on 3 March when the Democrats hold their Primary."

Separately, Kat from United in Strength for America (https://www.unitedinstrengthforamerica.com) amplified Carol Stopps comments in her (Carol's) regarding recent legislation making its way through Richmond.  I strongly encourage you to read Carol's report, linked below, as it truly does illuminate the disaster being foisted upon our Commonwealth.

A Window into Virginia's Future

And now for some Newsletter news….


TEA Party / Nationalism Movement

A quote from the top article below:

"As demographer Joel Kotkin told Fox News, "The worst thing in the world to be is the red part of a blue state." You wind up regulated to suit the whims of people whose interests are not yours.  In Virginia, it's primarily gun control laws supported by inhabitants of the population-heavy suburbs of Washington, D.C. — laws resented by inhabitants of the many less-populous counties where values remain more traditionally Virginian. There's talk about Virginia counties seceding and joining West Virginia."

Across the country, rural communities want to secede from their states. Here's why.


Regulation

A quote from the top article below:

"Obamacare came under threat in December when the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 vote that the individual mandate, which required Americans to buy health insurance under threat of fine, was unconstitutional. But the court kicked the rest of the case back down to Texas district judge Reed O'Connor, who initially decided that the individual mandate was unconstitutional in December 2018."

Communism 101: Democrats in Ohio, California and Oregon Push Laws Demanding That Private Property Owners Allow Homeless to Camp on Their Land


National Debt / Its the Spending, Stupid!

A quote from the top article below:

"In a chilling paragraph, the CEI/PTF study noted that '[m]ost provisions of the GND are so broad and open-ended that the list of potential programs necessary to implement the program is only limited by the capacity of legislators to imagine new government programs. Therefore, it is impossible to calculate the maximum cost of the GND. However, other parts of the GND are more precise, sufficiently so that an approximate minimum cost estimate is attainable.'"

Economy

A quote from the top article below:

"He makes the case that benign inflation and interest rates can support the market in the near term. The investor said, however, that the next crisis won't likely come from the private sector, "the next crisis will be in the public sector," referring to what he believed was a rapidly rising U.S. fiscal deficit."

Sanders 'a bigger threat' to the stock market and economy than coronavirus, Wall Street billionaire Cooperman says


First Amendment / Freedom of Speech / Freedom of Religion

A quote from the top article below:

"Religious liberty advocates opposed the bill as it moved through the House of Delegates and the state Senate. Victoria Cobb, president of the Family Foundation, warned that, without amendments, the bill would punish faith-based institutions by forcing them to diverge from their 'deeply held beliefs.'  Cobb told supporters after a Feb. 18 press conference that Christian colleges, such as Liberty University, Christendom College, and Regent University would be forced to house gay or transgender couples or face the consequences."

Ralph Northam expected to sign gay and transgender protection bill that religious leaders fear will lead to discrimination

Second Amendment / Right to Keep and Bear Arms

A quote from the top article below:

"Despite ongoing pressure being put on gun owners by various anti-gun organizations, the rate of ownership has continued to rise. In particular, the amount of "sporting rifle" ownership has continued to grow rapidly. Some would have you think that an increase of sporting rifle ownership would lead to higher violent crime rates, however, data shows this is simply not the case."

A quote from the top article below:

"The obvious holes in Facebook's privacy data exports paint a picture of a company that aims to placate users' concerns without actually doing anything to change its practices."

Report: Facebook's privacy tools are riddled with missing data


Abortion / Right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness

A quote from the top article below:

"The United States is among a handful of countries that allows abortions after 20 weeks into a pregnancy. The other countries are Canada, the Netherlands, Singapore, Vietnam, China, and North Korea. The practice is permitted here because the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision said states must allow abortion until fetal viability, which is generally understood to be about 24 weeks. Its companion Doe v. Bolton ruling provided for abortions after viability when a woman's life or health is threatened."

Corruption / Rule of Law

A quote from the top article below:

"Senator Mark Warner (D-Va.) texted back and forth with lobbyist Adam Waldman, who runs the Endeavor Group -- which has ties to (surprise!) Hillary Clinton -- while leading the Senate Intelligence Committee's investigation into President Trump's alleged ties to Russia with his Republican colleague North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr.  In one text to the lobbyist, the senator expressed a desire to "not have a paper trail" of his messages. He suggested in another text that he did not want Burr or any other senator included in the discussions."

Socialism / Creeping Socialism

A quote from the top article below:

"The crowd cheered loudly, but then Pence took a more serious tone, acknowledging that today's Democratic Party 'has been taken over by radical leftists' and it's hard to believe that the party of Truman and JFK is about to nominate a socialist, who honeymooned in the Soviet Union, and praises socialist dictators. But, he warned, this isn't just about Bernie Sanders. 'There are no moderates in this Democratic field.'  He added, 'Every other Democrat embraces Bernie's socialist agenda.'"

Censorship / Social Media Censorship

A quote from the top article below:

"The real problem is that Wright and Fies were honest. ABC News – and most other media outlets – are passive-aggressive at best, and outright hostile at worst, against President Trump. They still cannot believe that Hillary Clinton lost in 2016, and have been trying to wrap their minds around it ever since. A majority of journalists believe the same things that Wright believes, which is why all of these crazy Bernie Sanders remarks, which were ignored studiously by the media, but have been well-catalogued for YEARS in right-leaning blogs and news outlets, are suddenly being unearthed to the shock, SHOCK, of the mainstream left."

Denial / Deception / Propaganda / Social Engineering

A quote from the top article below:

"The new socialism, Democratic Socialism, is pledged to bring about race and gender equality, income equality and general goodness.  Individual liberties, private property and the concept of a competitive market will not be surrendered willingly.  To achieve this, the new socialism will have to be just as authoritarian as the old socialism.  History shows us that when one group attempts to take goods and freedoms away from another to redistribute to other favored groups, conflict occurs."

The SCC revised their original estimate of 16% and now estimate that electricity costs will increase by a minimum of 24% in the next few years if HB1526 and SB851 pass.  The cost of these bills is SIGNIFICANT!

The Virginia Clean Economy Act will eliminate CO2 emissions from electricity generation by 2045, but it strips the authority of the State Corporation Commission (SCC) to protect consumers from unreasonable and imprudent utility costs. 

Restore SCC oversight and keep electricity affordable!

futility of wind and solar

Posted: 17 Feb 2020 04:53 PM PST
(John Hinderaker)

Jeff Bezos announced today that he will spend $10 billion to "fight climate change." How, exactly, will his money alter the climate?
[Bezos] said the Bezos Earth Fund would help back scientists, activists, non-government organizations and any other effort that "offers a real possibility to help preserve and protect the natural world."
So the money will go to "scientists, activists [and] non-government organizations"–in other words, the Left. I can guarantee that Bezos's billions will have zero effect on the climate, but they will enrich left-wing nonprofits, "scientists" who toe the global warming line, and utilities who greedily profit from foolish expenditures on wind and solar energy. I assume that Bezos is smart enough to know this, and that this is his way of sliding money to the Left without acknowledging what he is doing.

The big money is almost 100% "green." Recently there was a high-level meeting of greenies at a Rockefeller mansion outside of New York City. Notes from the meeting have been made public, and you can read about it here. The attendees talked about the need to get industry on their side. How?
[W]hen [it] comes to power sector, look to politics – relatively easy political landscape, as long as utility makes $.
And the utility will make money, guaranteed, as a regulated monopoly, as long as state mandates combine with federal subsidies to "force" it to invest countless billions in wind and solar energy, which are terrible for the environment but great for utility stock prices.

The "green" juggernaut marches on. Wind and solar energy hurt the environment in many ways while locking us in to fossil fuel use in the form of natural gas, forever. That is OK with me; natural gas is the best energy source for a power plant. But the many billions of dollars that go for wind and solar energy, which actually provide electricity nowhere near half the time, while usually relying on "complementary" natural gas plants, is a complete waste. Unless you are a utility. The only way Bezos's $10 billion could make a positive contribution is if it promoted nuclear energy, but you can be sure that isn't going to happen.

The forces of reason, which point out the futility of wind and solar energy, are essentially unfunded. They have little or no corporate support and rely on grass roots donations. Truth is powerful, but is it powerful enough to overcome the Left's massive cash advantage?
Here is another example. Have you heard of Arabella Advisors? I hadn't, but check this out:
Arabella Advisors (commonly called "Arabella") is a philanthropic consulting company that guides the strategy, advocacy, impact investing, and management for high-dollar left-leaning nonprofits and individuals. [1] Arabella provides these clients with a number of services that ease their operations and that enable them to enact policies focused on environmentalism and other left-of-center issues.
How big is Arabella?
Arabella Advisors manages four nonprofits that serve as incubators and accelerators for a range of other left-of-center nonprofits. These include the New Venture Fund, the Sixteen Thirty Fund, the Hopewell Fund, and the Windward Fund. These nonprofits have collectively hosted hundreds of left-wing policy and advocacy organizations (referred to by critics as "pop-up groups" because they are little more than websites). In 2018, Arabella's four nonprofits reported combined revenues of $635 million. Altogether, between 2013 and 2018 the nonprofits reported combined revenues of just under $2.3 billion and total expenditures of $1.8 billion.
***
Arabella has implemented over 300 different "pop-up" projects targeting a range of issues, including net neutrality, free speech, abortion access, Obamacare, and President Donald Trump's judicial nominees. The company specifically highlights projects in which it has helped its clients divest millions of dollars from traditional energy companies, invest in risky experimental companies, boycott the historically Republican-leaning U.S. Chamber of Commerce, enact a ballot initiative that freed 4,000 criminals in California, and lobby for a labor union-friendly policy in Oregon that was supported by the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW), Service Employees International Union (SEIU), and the Oregon Nurses Association.
There is nothing comparable on the right. Why does the Left have so much money? There are several reasons: 1) Many companies are pursuing their own financial interests. For example, investor-owned utilities, which have vast financial interests that cause them to support left-wing environmental fantasies that enrich utilities but harm consumers. 2) The biggest spenders on elections and public policy are unions, especially government unions, which lobby for more government, and support politicians who will expand government, because it is in their financial interest to do so. 3) Many celebrities (Jeff Bezos may fall into this category) have more money than brains, and either have fallen for leftist prattle, or–in many cases–seek to protect themselves against attacks from the Left by donating to leftist causes. It usually works.

This is the massive resource advantage that the forces of freedom are up against on just about every front.

Question about Zantac containing carcinogens.

 Hello,

My name is Courtney, I'm part of the Community Outreach team for Florin|Roebig, a firm focused on those that have been victimized or taken advantage of. Most of our clients are not able to afford lawyers so we provide all of these services for free. Because of our passion for community involvement, we've created these guides to share information about nationwide problems and possible legal action. 

Late 2019, FDA released a statement alerting patients and healthcare providers of a safety concern regarding the drug, ranitidine, commonly bought under the brand name, Zantac. The test findings demonstrating toxic levels of a carcinogenic ingredient known as NDMA. 

Personal injury lawsuits claim these drug makers marketed and sold drugs contaminated with toxic amounts of NDMA, without disclosing the health risks, such as cancer-causing effects, to the government or the public. Because of this, people across the US have joined lawsuits against Zantac.

Consumers and their loved ones are understandably concerned about the recent statements. It's important to make this information much more accessible than it's been in the past. In this guide, https://florinroebig.com/dangerous-drugs/zantac/, we touch on points such as: 
  • Types Of Cancer Linked To Zantac
  • What To Do If You've Taken Zantac
  • Types of Damages Awarded 
  • & much more. 
Perhaps you'd be interested in checking it out and sharing it as a resource? I look forward to hearing back from you!  

Best,

"The End Of The World As We Knew It"

Virginia socialists' "Wish List" became their "To-Do-List"


This crossover update is a partial list of the "Mother Of All Bills" in each category (MOABs) which will cause a drastic change in life as we know it in Virginia!
