Back in April 2021, three months after being sworn in, Joe Biden promised to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50%, compared to 2005 levels, by the end of 2030.
In
July 2022, while launching his $2.3 billion plan to assist the construction
of ‘sustainable’ infrastructure, Biden called climate change “literally an
existential threat to our nation and to the world.” He also claimed that “the
health of our citizens and our communities is at stake."
During his visit to Florida, following Hurricane Ian, Biden claimed
that the Hurricane 'ended'
the debate on climate change.
On Thursday, Biden declared
that radical changes were required to “literally save the planet” from
climate change. The Biden administration is even seeking to phase out gas-powered cars and block all oil and gas drilling on federal lands.
So do his actions
match his words?
Obviously not, they are Democrats.
The Daily Caller
reported that on Friday, a day after his alarmist speech, Biden burned
3,866 lbs of jet fuel to fly 72 miles aboard Air Force
One to deliver a speech in Maryland.
According to Aviation Inside, Air
Force One burns roughly 5,800 lbs of fuel per hour if the aircraft is
traveling at the average speed of 598 miles per hour at 35,000 ft.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency’s
emissions calculator, Air Force One produced CO2 emissions, which is equivalent to
driving 13,678 miles in an average gasoline-powered passenger vehicle,
Fox News reported in September, Biden flew via Air Force One to
Delaware solely to vote in a Democratic primary, emitting roughly 16,641
lbs of CO2 emissions.
The average cost of travel for Biden is roughly $2,614 per minute
It's not just Biden
John Kerry’s private jet emitted 325 metric tons of carbon dioxide since he became Biden’s special envoy for climate as he travels around the globe peddling climate paranoia and making empty pledges for clean energy.
Were these trips
unavoidable?
No!
Biden could have set
an example and ordered his administration to stop their air travel and address
all meetings via Zoom calls instead.
If they really
believed the planet is really in peril and not only there but the lives of the
grandchildren are in jeopardy, these sacrifices would have been worth it.
But they didn’t.
This isn’t the only case of hypocrisy from Democrats.
The high-priestess of hypocrisy, AOC is the first female member of
the Democratic Socialists of America elected
to serve in Congress. She has demanded income tax rate should be as high
as 70 percent for the rich who she says must pay their fair share.
Does AOC pay her share
of taxes?
The
Washington Examiner revealed the existence of a New York state tax warrant
filed against AOC’s defunct business.
On July 6, 2017, New
York state filed a tax warrant to collect $1,618 in unpaid corporate taxes from
Brook Avenue Press, a children-focused publishing firm that was founded by AOC
in 2012.
AOC didn’t pay any
overdue corporate taxes, causing the current balance of the tax warrant to
swell by 52% to $2,461.
AOC even claimed the
warrant was issued "in error" and that she was contesting
the matter.
AOC earns $174,000
a year as a House member, paying $2,461 wouldn’t actually drain her
savings. Yet was reluctant to pay her share in taxes.
Socialists usually
despise ostentatious displays and prefer a life of simplicity among the working
class.
However socialist AOC didn’t hesitate to attend the MET Gala where tickets are priced at $35,000 per head. AOC attempted to claim that her participation at the Gala was for a cause by wearing a gown inscribed with "Tax the Rich", the creator of the dress herself owes thousands to the tax office
AOC didn’t care that
mere yards from the gala, the NYPD arrested ‘defund the police’ protestors.
Beyond AOC, the Democrats have displayed copious dual standards.
The Democrats are
fervent advocates of ‘defunding the police’ which they claim is systemically
racist. The result is the police force is understaffed in working-class
neighborhoods causing a spike in crime.
However, their own
offices in Washington are protected around the clock by the Capitol police. They
demanded police protection after the January 6th protests.
The Democrats support
extreme gun control laws for regular citizens but for themselves and
spend thousands
of tax dollars on armed bodyguards.
What they are saying is their life is much more valuable than the
lives of those who pay their salaries.
California Governor
Gavin Newsom banned
taxpayer-funded trips to Montana and 21 other states for their
'anti-LGBTQ' laws banning transgender athletes from competing in women’s sports
and for being pro-life.
However, Newsom gladly
vacationed in scenic Montana with his family and attempted to hide the
vacation from the public to conceal his hypocrisy.
During the COVID-19
pandemic, Democrats ordered stringent lockdowns that hurt small businesses and
cause unemployment while they had the luxury of working from their luxury homes.
Gov Newsom who seems
a challenger to AOC in the arena of hypocrisy was photographed dining maskless with friends at a plush restaurant flouting
the safety protocols that he imposed on citizens.
The Democrats ordered
mask mandates but were seen as ‘maskless’ on several occasions
The Democrats opposed
Trump’s border walls but demanded a barricade in Washington D.C after the
January 6th protests and their personal properties are
surrounded by imposing walls.
The Democrats are
advocates for open borders, but when the migrants arrive to be settled in
working-class neighborhoods only. They do not care that working-class citizens could
suffer wage reduction, job loss, infrastructural facilities overrun, a rise in
crime, and erosion of culture.
If these migrants are
ever transported to their neighborhoods they summon the national
guard and evict them immediately.
The Democrats claim
to be feminists but support sexual predators such as Harvey
Weinstein, and Jeffery
Epstein. Democrats are often abusers and sexual
predators themselves.
The Democrats claim to be protectors of African Americans but when
an African American challenges them on their record, they behave like slave
owners who are livid that their
slaves dared to question their master. The Democrats display a similar racist
mindset towards
Hispanics.
This is a record of
blatant hypocrisy over a prolonged period of time.
There is a chasm of
difference between what the Democrats believe, what the Democrats say, what the
Democrats mean, and what the Democrats do.
The Democrats have
one standard for citizens that usually imposes hardships on the citizen and
places their lives in peril.
The Democrats have another standard for themselves which enables a life of luxury, living in sea-facing properties, traveling via private jet, and doing their best to dodge taxes.
The question is why aren’t the Republicans 50 points ahead
