Maine Dem congresswoman rails against climate change… despite making VERY hypocritical choices in her private life

A Maine congresswoman has shared a video of herself railing against climate change, despite enjoying luxurious, carbon-spewing flights on a private jet. 

Chellie Pingree, 69, shared a video of herself addressing the House of Representatives during a talk on climate change earlier this week. 

In it, the Democrat Maine representative speaks of her worries of what the world will be like for her children and seven grandchildren. 

But after sharing the video to her social media on Wednesday afternoon, Pingree was labelled a ‘hypocrite’ after having previously traveled on a private jet. 

Pingree was caught on camera disembarking the jet of her then husband and hedge fund manager S. Donald Sussman in 2010. 

The Maine Wire replied to Pingree sharing her views on battling climate change with the video, saying: ‘A private jet can emit more CO2 in one hour than the average Mainer’s annual output.’

In her video, Pingree said: ‘I don’t know if you have children or grandchildren, but I worry about what the future will be for my children and my seven grandchildren. 

‘I don’t want them to come to me someday and say, ‘Hey Grandma, what were you doing when we needed to do something about this?.

‘What were you doing when we needed to prevent the climate change that is upon us today? 

‘Were you just sitting there with you eyes closed and pretending it didn’t exist using a bunch of jargon, quoting social media and some memes you saw somewhere. 

‘Or were you talking about scientific fact, and really doing things to invest in our children and grandchildren’s future.’

According to The Washington Examiner, Pingree was caught disembarking the corporate charter jet by the conservative website Maine Watchdog. 

In the footage, Pingree disembarked from the airplane onto a red carpet after the plane touched down at Portland airport in Maine. 

At the time of the incident, Pingree said that criticism of her use of the corporate jet was politically motivated.

BLM blasts Dems as ‘party of hypocrites’ for ‘installing’ Kamala without ‘public voting process’

The far-left activist organization Black Lives Matter is calling out Democrats for anointing Vice President Kamala Harris as the party’s presumptive nominee for president without voter’s getting a chance to actually vote. They are calling on the Democratic National Convention “to create a process that allows for public participation in the nomination process, not just a nomination by party delegates.”
 
On Tuesday, the radical group that was responsible for much of the riots and unrest across the US in the summer of 2020, said in a statement, “A 24-hour process of talking to party bosses is not democratic, nor is it a process Democrats should be proud of.” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries insisted that Harris was not a installed by the party “top down,” but that “she earned the nomination from the grassroots.”

BLM, which is the grassroots, called out the party for refusing to host debates during the primary which would have “likely allowed America to see the decline of Joe Biden.”

It also slammed Democrats for changing “the primary schedule and created ruled that made it almost impossible for non-Biden candidates to appear on the ballot effectively clearing the field of any challengers.”

The group also said that “after one poor debate performance, The DNC’s elites and billionaire donors bullied Joe Biden out of the race.” BLM also accused the Democratic party of eroding democracy. “We do not live in a dictatorship. Delegates are not oligarchs. Installing Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee and an unknown vice president without any public voting process would make the modern Democratic Party a party of hypocrites,” the group added. 

The group then demanded that the party it usually aligns with “…immediately host an informal, virtual snap primary across the country prior to the DNC convention in August.”

The Party Of ‘Democracy” Will Now Choose Your Candidate For You

On Sunday, July 21, President Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential campaign via a text-only post on Twitter/X.

Less than an hour later, Biden – also via a text-only post on Twitter/X – endorsed vice president Kamala Harris for the presidency. 

Thus, in just a few minutes, the ruling party in Washington completely erased the primary election process from one of the country’s major parties.

That is, the same Democratic party that tells us it is the party of “democracy” just completely cut ordinary voters out of the selection process for the Democratic nominee. 

Instead, the Democratic nominee in 2024 will be chosen by a small group of elite party insiders. We’re told there will be an “open convention” in Chicago to choose the nominee, but all that means is that that there is no pre-determined nominee going into the convention. In any case, however, the nominee will be chosen by delegates and superdelegates (i.e., wealthy party elites like Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama) behind closed doors. 

The Democratic party’s efforts to circumvent the primary process are quite remarkable for a ruling coalition that lectured the general public endlessly in 2020 about how Donald Trump was allegedly a “threat to democracy” and how “democracy is on the ballot.”

Yet, this is what we’ve come to expect from political elites who use the term “democracy” as a propaganda term. For these people, the term has no objective meaning, it just means “something we like.” “Anti-democratic,” in contrast, just means “something we don’t like.”

Moreover, its use as a propaganda term can be seen in the way that “democracy” is used in the same way as “revolutionary” by Marxist regimes. In such cases “revolutionary” is code for “in favor of the ruling elites” and “something we like.” Similarly, the opposite of “democracy” in a Marxist regime is “counterrevolutionary” or “bourgeois.” Those terms were essentially code for “against the ruling party” and “thing we don’t like.” 

Such terms have no actual content in the usual sense of a word.  Thus, the term “democracy” simply means “good” and “not democratic” means “evil.”

The Left Has Been Trying to Come Up With Wild Conspiracy Theories About the Trump Shooting, but They Are Failing Badly

Ever since the moment that Donald Trump was shot during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, the left has been pushing wild conspiracy theories all over the Internet.  Unfortunately for the left, their conspiracy theories are so ridiculous that most rational people immediately see right through them.  Yes, there are legitimate questions that need to be asked about what really happened at that rally, and I have been writing about many of those questions.  But to suggest that the assassination attempt was staged or that Trump was never hit by a bullet is just nuts.

As you will see below, the stuff that the left has been coming up with is straight out of crazy town.

It has been less than a week since Trump was shot, and already “false assassination narratives” have been viewed more than 100 million times on X, and many of those false narratives are being classified as “Blue Anon” conspiracy theories…

So-called ‘BlueAnon’ conspiracy theories — levelled by Left-­wingers — have clearly been thick on the ground this time, compounding the confusion spread by similarly paranoid or just ­trouble-making Trumpites.­

According to research group Institute for Strategic Dialogue, references to false assassination narratives amassed more than 100 million views on X in just 24 hours.

So what are some of the most common “Blue Anon” conspiracy theories that the left has been pushing?

Democrats Have A BlueAnon Conspiracy Problem That Dwarfs QAnon

A third of Biden supporters believe the idea that Saturday’s assassination attempt on former President Trump was staged and not intended to kill him is credible, according to a Morning Consult poll.

33 percent of polled Biden supporters indicated they were open to believing the troubling conspiracy theory, a higher number than the overall contingent polled. Only 20 percent of total people polled said they found the conspiracy credible.

The majority of voters, 62 percent, found the notion to be unsubstantiated, according to Morning Consult.

The concerning conspiracy theory has earned credibility from mainstream left wing voices like MSNBC’s Joy Reid.

“What is the actual injury to Donald Trump’s ear that’s under that bandage? Shouldn’t we know that by now? It’s weird,” Reid speculated in a Twitter video she posted to her 1.9 million Twitter followers.

“We still don’t know for sure whether Donald Trump was hit by a bullet, whether he was hit by glass fragments, whether he was hit by shrapnel, we don’t have those details,” Reid posited.

Jaw-dropping corruption allegations against New Orleans’ Dem Mayor LaToya Cantrell are revealed as FBI continues to probe her

Fresh corruption allegations have been levied against New Orleans’ Democrat Mayor LaToya Cantrell amid an FBI probe into her actions in office, sources say. 

Cantrell, 52, has been under investigation for over two years, with reports claiming she may face charges over allegations that she received gifts in exchange for firing a high-ranking New Orleans official. 

The complex probe has also seen the spotlight fall on police officer Jeffrey Vappie, who faced allegations that he was in a romantic tryst with the mayor, reports NOLA. 

Now, sources told the outlet that Vappie may also be set to face charges, potentially over being paid by the city for hours that he allegedly never worked. 

Allegations against Cantrell date back over two years, and NOLA reported that insiders with knowledge of the investigation believe she may also face charges. 

Cantrell’s office did not immediately return a request for comment. 

It is unclear what exactly these charges may be, and detectives have not publicly stated that they plan on bringing charges against her. 

Vappie’s resignation came after he was suspended when his wages came under scrutiny, at the same time it was alleged in Vappie’s divorce filing that he was carrying out an affair with a woman named only as ‘Mrs. L-C.’ 

Vappie’s ex-wife Danielle claimed that her husband and Cantrell had been carrying out an affair since he began working for her security detail in May 2021. 

The two were spotted dining at a restaurant together in April 2024, and when his wages were put under the microscope, it was reportedly found that he spent over 100 hours at Cantrell’s apartment over a 27-day stretch. 

In 2022, Fox New Orleans also reported that Vappie spent more than five hours of his workday with Cantrell in a publicly owned apartment in the city’s Upper Pontalba section, where they were often spotted together.

BLUEANON Conspiracy: Democrats Accuse Trump of Staging His Own Assassination Attempt — Claim Trump Uses ‘Fake Blood’ with the Help of Secret Service

Members of the Democrat Party, who are clearly suffering from severe TDS and are victims of fake news propaganda, have accused President Trump of staging his own assassination attempt.

Conservative content creator and political commentator James Klug recently visited Huntington Beach, California to gather public opinion on this contentious issue.

The assassination attempt, which tragically resulted in the death of one Trump supporter and left two others critically injured, has stirred a hornet’s nest of conspiracy theories.

Some Blueanon insists that the incident was a ‘false flag,’ alleging that Trump himself orchestrated it to garner sympathy and political support.

Dem Senator Bob Menendez Found Guilty Of Accepting Cash, Gold, Benz Bribes

Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) was convicted on all 16 counts in a sweeping pay-for-play scheme to sell his office to foreign powers and shady businessmen in exchange for hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, solid gold bars, and a Mercedes Benz.

A jury of 12 convicted him on charges including wire fraud, bribery and extortion – making Menendez the seventh sitting US senator to be convicted of a federal crime, placing pressure on him to resign before his term expires at year-end.

Menendez and his wife Nadine were accused by prosecutors of orchestrating a bribery scheme while he was head of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, where he acted as an agent of Egypt, and intervened to quash a separate criminal prosecution in New Jersey in exchange for payoffs – and then tried to cover it up.

“It wasn’t enough for him to be one of the most powerful people in Washington,” said federal prosecutor Paul M. Monteleoni in his closing argument. “But he also wanted to use it to pile up riches for himself and his wife.”

Menendez’s attorney, Adam Fee, suggested that the senator’s actions had been “100 percent appropriate,” and accused the government of using “half-truths” to misrepresent the case. Fee also argued that the cash and gold weren’t bribes, but instead generous gifts to Ms. Menendez during “lean times.”

Menendez is set for sentencing on Oct. 29.

Democrats Downplay Influence of Major Advertising Alliance’s Demonetization Blacklists

During a recent House Judiciary Committee hearing, several Democrats characterized scrutiny of the Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM) (a World Economic Forum-affiliated pro-censorship advertising alliance that blacklists brands, creators, and content from advertising if they’re deemed to violate its “brand safety” rules) as “dangerous” and a “sham.”

GARM has faced growing scrutiny over the way its practices have resulted in certain viewpoints being demonetized. Before this July 10 hearing, House Republicans released a report showing that GARM and its members had “carefully” monitored a number of conservative outlets, placed conservative media outlet The Daily Wire on an advertising exclusion list, and pushed for advertising restrictions on the popular “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast.

And the intention of this hearing was to respond to these allegations and examine “whether existing civil and criminal penalties and current antitrust law enforcement efforts are sufficient to deter anticompetitive collusion in online advertising.”

But, as has often been the case during hearings related to huge corporations and alliances targeting smaller businesses and entities, Democrats downplayed, dismissed, or outright denied the concerns that were raised.

“This hearing has nothing to do with antitrust laws, since the majority’s allegations wither under even the most basic antitrust analysis,” Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) said during his opening statement. “This is instead another dangerous effort by the majority to bully companies into promoting and supporting far-right extremist views, views that brands understandably do…not want to be associated with. In this case, the majority seeks to undermine companies’ First Amendment rights and to make it harder for them to avoid monetizing online and offline harm through advertising.”

He continued by suggesting that those who have shone a light on GARM’s practices are engaging in a “made-up scheme,” accused Republicans of pushing a “conspiracy theory that conservative content is being censored,” and claimed that there’s “no evidence” to support allegations of wrongdoing.

Dems ‘Were Just Fine’ with Biden as Long as They Believed They Were Winning

Friday, during an appearance on Mobile, AL radio’s FM Talk 106.5, Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) said President Joe Biden’s decline reflected the decline in the country, adding that the nation’s adversaries know Biden is weak.

Britt also reacted to the uproar among Democrats about Biden as their party’s standard-bearer.

According to Alabama’s junior U.S. Senator, Democrats did not have a problem with Biden’s apparent decline until he fell behind in polling following last month’s presidential debate.

“And I don’t think we have to wonder what’s going on,” she said. “I think it is clear that our commander-in-chief is not in command. And I think it is also clear that not only is President Biden in decline, but he has put our country in decline as well. And each and every time that he stands up and shows the vulnerability, shows his weakness, shows his inability to truly lead — not only is that a sad day for America, but it is a day that makes us weaker and more vulnerable abroad as well. And I continue to look at this and think all of these Democrats are trying to decide what they’re going to do for the next four years because, remember, they were just fine with him serving in this capacity as long as they believed they were winning. So they were willing to put power above what they knew to be best for the nation. And now we are obviously getting a window into all of this as Americans as to what so many of them have known for so long.”
