McConnell criticizes “Green New Deal”: good for China and Russia
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Thursday (Jan. 28) harshly criticized the Biden administration’s actions on energy policy, saying he was introducing the Green New Deal in a “piecemeal” fashion. Such a policy would allow opponents such as the Chinese Communist Party and Russia to benefit.

McConnell said, “China, Russia and our other competitors must be very excited, absolutely excited, because our new administration is essentially declaring war on some of our own economic base to satisfy a desire for a symbolic (retaliatory) gesture.”
McConnell criticized the Biden administration’s actions to date as “misguided prescriptions,” including the decision to withdraw authorization for the Keystone XL U.S.-Canada pipeline and the decision to rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement, among other actions to address climate change.
The tsunami of layoffs is not at all environmentally friendly for American workers, and replacing the use of pipelines to bring Canadian Crude Oil to the United States with trucks and trains is not at all greener,” McConnell said …… This piecemeal Green New Deal is the wrong prescription. It’s also the wrong approach for the environment, and wrong for national security. And most importantly, if this continues, American workers will soon be ex-American workers.”
McConnell also praised the Trump Administration‘s policies, he said. He said, “The last four years have proven that our prosperity, reducing carbon emissions and expanding domestic energy are not actually at odds with each other, and that we can achieve all three of these goals simultaneously.”
McConnell noted that Canadian leaders last week called Biden’s decision to halt construction of the oil pipeline system in Canada and the United States “a blow to the gut. He added: “I imagine 11,000 American workers, including 8,000 unionized workers who depend on this work, share my feelings, and Biden was efficient enough to shut down the jobs of tens of thousands of American people with the stroke of a pen.”
In addition, McConnell said Biden’s decision to rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement on Jan. 20 would only cause “severe pain” to Americans.
He said, “We’ve gone back to an international convention that will cause serious injury to working families and will not curb China’s emissions at all, but our emissions have been going down.”
John Kerry, secretary of state during the Obama-Biden administration, who is now Biden’s chief environmental policy adviser, also acknowledged yesterday that even if the U.S. somehow reduced U.S. carbon emissions to zero, it wouldn’t make much difference globally.
McConnell noted in response, “That’s because our competitors, including China, are already booming well ahead of us in carbon emissions.”
China is the world’s largest emitter of greenhouse emissions, accounting for 26.8 percent.
Former President Trump first announced his intention to withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord in 2017, saying the U.N. framework for addressing climate change was “a total disaster” for the U.S. economy, while being too lenient with communist China and its greenhouse gas emissions.
Biden bypasses Congress, McConnell criticizes ‘dictator’
In addition to criticizing Biden’s “Green New Deal,” McConnell also criticized the new president for signing executive orders like a “dictator,” contrary to his campaign promise to “build consensus.
In less than 10 days since his inauguration, Biden has signed at least 35 executive orders, most of which overturn former President Trump’s “America First” policy, such as halting the construction of the U.S.-Mexico border wall and revoking the Pentagon’s ban on transgender military service, prompting strong criticism from Congress and the media.

On the Senate floor Thursday morning, McConnell criticized Biden for relying on executive orders prematurely and reneging on the promises of “consensus building” and “restoring unity” he claimed when he was a presidential candidate.
As recently as last October, incumbent Biden said you can’t legislate by executive action unless you’re a dictator,” McConnell said. But he himself signed more than 30 unilateral actions in one week.
He also criticized former President Barack Obama for “unilaterally imposing his will” through executive orders and memos.

Pusaki said at a White House briefing this week that “unlike the GameStop issue, the Treasury secretary is one of the world’s leading experts on markets, on the economy,” and that “before she took office, it shouldn’t surprise anyone to be paid for the insights and advice she provided. “
Social media’s Reddit’s Betting on WallStreetBets forum launched a retail-focused campaign to initiate investments in GameStop, which was heavily shorted by hedge funds and other professional investors, and whose market capitalization soared by more than 1,800 percent cumulatively this week, causing some Wall Street hedge funds to short GameStop losing a significant amount of capital.
According to government disclosure forms from January, former Federal Reserve Chair Yellen had received payments from the hedge fund Castle Fund after she left office, with Yellen receiving $810,000 for three events in 2019 and 2020.
Robinhood, a popular stock trading program, announced that it was shutting down trading in GameStop shares due to the “recent turmoil” in the market after GameStop’s stock price surged.
Robinhood’s shutdown of GameStop stock purchases sparked condemnation from politicians on both the left and the right, who said big business and government should focus on small investors rather than wealthy short-selling profiteers.
Radio host Rush Limbaugh said he sees the ongoing GameStop debacle as a peculiar thing because it reflects how elite groups are trying to prevent ordinary people from gaining access to benefits and how private money is fighting the monopolists.
U.S. Army Chaplain Investigated After Commenting on Transgender Unfitness for Military Service
Recently, Texas Army Chaplain Major Andrew Calvert said on social media that transgender soldiers are “mentally incompetent and unfit to serve in the military. He was immediately investigated by officials for his comments.
According to the Daily Caller, a screenshot of comments made by Major Calvert, a chaplain with the 3rd Security Forces Assistance Brigade at Fort Hood, shows that he made the comments on a military newspaper’s Facebook page on Jan. 25.
Just hours after President Biden signed an executive order allowing transgender service members to serve openly in the military, Calvert’s unit’s command announced an investigation into the comments in a statement.
“Isn’t denial of (biological) reality evidence that a person is ‘mentally incompetent (sick) and ineligible to serve,'” Calvert reportedly commented on the Army Times’ Facebook page? ” “This is no different than those who believe and claim that ‘the earth is flat,’ despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.”
He added, “The motives are different, but the arguments are the same. These are the people who are on ‘medical evaluation boards’ waiting for their health psychological changes to occur. Aren’t they too much of a waste of military resources and funds?”
Following Calvert’s comments, the U.S. Army Security Forces Assistance Command issued a reminder of the “Think, Type, Post” policy in a statement, saying they were “aware of the recent comments” and that ” The incident is under investigation.”
Biden’s recent executive order overturned a ban on military service by transgender people issued by former President Trump.
