Climate change activist groups and left wing members of Congress are using the fires in Maui to urge Joe Biden to declare a ‘national emergency’ over climate change.

These people don’t give a damn about the people of Hawaii. All they see is an opportunity to seize more power and control. What do you think happens if Biden declares a national emergency over climate change? Climate lockdowns? More restrictions on energy? More restrictions on freedom? All of the above and more?

As Rahm Emanuel once famously said, never let a crisis go to waste.

Biden faces calls to declare climate emergency as he heads to Maui

As President Joe Biden prepares to visit Maui, the Hawaiian island devastated by the deadliest wildfire in U.S. modern history, lawmakers and climate groups are begging the White House to do more to prevent future climate-related disasters.

Their argument: If the latest environmental catastrophe won’t spur the president into action, what will?

The fires, likely sparked by the island’s electric utility and heightened by climate change impacts, swept through the Pacific paradise last week, killing at least 110 people and leaving the famed town of Lahaina smoldering in ruins. As survivors search for missing family members and friends, and a housing crisis unfolds amid the vast destruction, climate activists and members of Congress are urging Biden to declare a national emergency over climate change…

“Even when I talk about this issue, I tend to say things like, ‘I want to make sure my children have clean air and water — that they have running water. That they have a livable planet when they’re my age.’ But that’s not right. Tomorrow, you could wake up and your whole community could be ashes,” said Kaniela Ing, a seventh-generation indigenous Hawaiian from Maui and the national director of the Green New Deal Network, a climate justice organization.

Biden must not be allowed to do this.

Declaring a “climate emergency” means giving one man the power to unilaterally spend mountains of tax dollars and revoke freedoms in the name of an unquantifiable threat.

Realize where we are.

It’s all about money and power.

The left is exploiting the tragedy of others, plain and simple.

Singing sensation Oliver Anthony was interviewed at his recent concert performance by a reporter for FOX News.

The footage was just released and in the clip, Anthony suggests that the United States won’t last for more than another generation if we don’t change course as a country.

He calls out the media and other cultural institutions which constantly seek to divide the American people rather than bringing us together.

From FOX News:

Oliver Anthony predicts US will not last ‘more than another generation’ unless country changes course

Viral sensation Oliver Anthony said he does not believe the United States will last more than another generation if the country continues along its current trajectory.

On Saturday, Anthony performed in front of thousands of fans in Moyock, North Carolina, as part of a free concert.

Following the show, the “Rich Men North of Virginia” singer-songwriter said that while he feels appreciation from people with whom the song resonated, he would rather people appreciate each other and their individual struggles. He said that, hopefully, people can find the energy he put into the song and manifest it in their personal lives.

“You know, talking to their neighbors again and their coworkers and just trying to find similarities with each other instead of division—that’s really all I want,” Anthony told Fox News…

“If we continue on the path we’re going down now, culturally, we won’t have a country very long. Five years? Fifty years I don’t know,” Anthony said. “I mean, I don’t see our country lasting more than another generation the way we’re headed. We gotta go back to the roots of what made this country great in the first place, which was our sense of community.”

Here’s the video:

That is a scary prediction, but it is sadly believable.

There are too many people in the country who believe America is inherently evil. They don’t understand our history, our Constitution and laws, or even why they are so lucky to live here.

Anthony is right. We do need to change course.
