A conservative military watchdog is calling a group of Democratic lawmakers to task for demanding that President Joe Biden impose draconian environmental emissions restrictions on the military.
Massachusetts Senator Edward Markey (D) and New York Congressman Mondaire Jones (D) recently sent a letter calling on the president to uphold his radical federal climate goals by requiring the Department of Defense (DOD) to commit to reducing its energy consumption in compliance with the same restrictive so-called man-made climate change mandates as everyone else.
“The DOD is the single-largest consumer of energy in the United States and the world’s single-largest institutional consumer of petroleum,” the lawmakers write. “Since 2001, the military has accounted for 77 to 80% of federal energy use. According to the White House’s December 2021 Federal Sustainability Plan, 56% of federal government emissions come from the DOD. Put simply, we will neither achieve the reductions necessary to avoid the most catastrophic effects of climate change nor meet our economy-wide obligations under the Paris Climate Agreement while ignoring the climate impact of the U.S. military.”
Currently, military- and defense-related activities are exempt from President Biden’s executive order on Catalyzing Clean Energy Industries and Jobs Through Federal Sustainability, whose ultimate goal is to completely eliminate the use of fossil fuels.
“The signers of this letter are among the most far-left examples of people who are not thinking clearly that you can find,” responds Elaine Donnelly, president of the Center for Military Readiness (CMR). “They’re talking about Department of Defense military vehicles, aircraft, [and] combat support equipment should be subject to climate control? They should be electrified somehow? What they are advocating here are vehicles that are not efficient, that have to be tethered to cords or batteries.”
Donnelly says the whole proposal is “ludicrous.”
“The problem with this executive order is not that it doesn’t cover the Department of Defense; the problem is that it exists at all,” she submits. “It shouldn’t be imposed on the civilian world, either.”
In addition to leading this letter, Markey and Jones authored an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act of 2022 (NDAA), which President Biden signed into law in December 2021, requiring the Department of Defense to commit to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in line with science-based targets.
So considering the things Biden’s administration has been doing with the military, Donnelly would not be surprised if the president does not go along with the request.

It could easily be assumed thet these two members of Congress are in sympathy with the one of the following: the Russian ruler, the Chinese Communist ruler, the North Korean ruler, or a combinatio of two or all three to bring our military preparedness down to a minimum making it impossible to respond to an action anywhere in the world or domestically. Undermining the preparedness of our military is a serious breach of their Constitutional duty though that duty is optionall with Democrats!
Genesis 1:28 – “God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.””,,,,including snakes like Putin, Saddam, Xi and the other bottom feeders of humanity, and leave their village idiots and villages as the salted of the earth wastelands like the Romans left the other Hannibal’s homes in the Carthaginian days of old, and the way God left Sodom and Gomorrah. When you leave the enemy to run away, he lives to fight another day. First kill them all and let God sort out the rest, not Joe who will spend billions to bomb them into the dust but spend trillions to ensure the air they breathe is unpolluted as they go down. Environmentally clean Beanie Copters cannot take down an AH-64 Apache Attack Helicopter. Let the military do what it was designed to do, and let the Toxic avenger Janitors like Joe sweep up the mess or just jump the broom when they marry our enemies.

These days, i wonder, who in the DNC isn’t in league with ALL of those enemies..
It seems that the stupidity virus is progressing through variants just like COVID—and each variant produces more ominous debilitations than the previous ones.
Stupidity on steroids.
TO BE a demon-rat, one MUST BE stupid already..
Here’s a start how about bozo joe miss piggy and the rest of the deadbeats stop flying back and forth from DC to home whenever they have to use the bathroom. That alone would cut emissions in 1/2.

Does “Let’s Go Brandon’s” executive order apply to his Air Force one and all of his support aircraft?
Does “Let’s Go Brandon” ride in all electric car motorcades?
Does “Let’s Go Brandon” have plans for electrical power plants that do not use carbon fuels?
Does “Let’s Go Brandon” have plans for an all nuclear powered Navy?
Or are these control agendas just a means to control everybody and promote the Socialist Democrat Party?
increase Taxes on everything and bring American commerce and economy to its knees and to promote Socialism.
Then access power and retain it by any means available –
no matter the costs to the people, the government or the nation.
Like always, their rules ONLY APPLY TO US, never them..
Every Time a Deranged and Delporable Demo Demon in Beijing Joe’s FAKE Administration opens their Mouths the Climate Changes. With Spewing Dangerous Fume’s from these Old FOSSILS would make this Country very Inhabitable.
The Very one’s that makes this a very Dangerous Place to live is because of very Inhabitants of the Democratic Socialist/Communist Party.
Let’s forget about making sure the military is protecting the United States, instead make sure they are going “green”, ferreting out any white supremacists and all persons are attending “woke” classes.
These days our military is MORE USED To further the leftist agenda, THAN TO DEFEND THE NATION…
