News and views from the USA that didn’t make the headlines in Canada.Well, geez, Jane, why didn’t you say so earlier.Actress and climate activist, Jane Fonda, finally discovered what’s causing so-called climate change, unloading the information at this year's Cannes Film Festival..It’s because of men and racism, Fonda seriously said.."This is serious," she said. "We’ve got about seven, eight years to cut ourselves in half of what we use of fossil fuels, and unfortunately, the people that have the least responsibility for it are hit the hardest, the Global South, people on islands, poor people of colour. It is a tragedy that we have to absolutely stop. We have to arrest and jail those men. They’re all men behind this.".She responded to a question about her claims the so-called climate crisis couldn't exist without the perfect conditions.."It’s good for us all to realize, there would be no climate crisis if there was no racism. There would be no climate crisis if there was no patriarchy,” she said. “A mindset that sees things in a hierarchical way. White men are the things that matter and then everything else is at the bottom.".Fonda visited Calgary several years ago, arriving on a private jet, then taking a private helicopter tour of the oil sands, decrying the use of fossil fuels the whole way. So good news for Ft. Mac, it’s off the hook. Climate change is caused by white men..Another time when South Park predicted the future..“In 2019, we first started 'debating' whether it was fair to allow men to compete against women in sports,” says Brodigan on Louder with Crowder..“On one side, people believe those born as men competing against people born as women is inherently unfair. On the other side, you're a transphobe if you're on the first side. As with any of the great debates of our generation, there's always South Park to respectfully air both sides of the argument.”.There’s a life lesson in the clip, says Brodigan..“It’s maybe, just maybe, opening a discussion just to possibly consider as to whether or not something may or may not be fair does not make you a transphobe. Or any ‘phobe for that matter. That's the debate..Our weekly update on Biden the cheater.On a recent episode of Fox & Friends Weekend, hosts Will Cain and Brian Hegseth revealed President Joe Biden is given cheat sheets to guide him through press conferences and other public appearances..The cheat sheets contain detailed instructions prepared by staff for Biden to "spell out where he is, who he's supposed to talk to, what he's supposed to say and where he's supposed to sit," said Cain, adding Biden’s cheat sheet at the recent G-7 summit “had what amounted to a full transcript for the speech he gave.".Cain highlighted Biden’s instructions on his trip to Japan in May.."As you can see on his sheet of paper, it’s fully laid out, 'Thank you, Fumio, for hosting us here in your hometown of Hiroshima. All of us gathered around this table are not only the closest of allies, we’re the engines of global economic growth.'".Most egregious, said Cain, was Biden’s cheat sheet listing pre-screened, softball questions from pre-selected reporters at an April 26 news conference.."This showed that he had pre-knowledge, he had pre-screened and knew what the questions would be coming into that press conference," said Cain..One instruction sheet actually reminds him he's in the Oval Office, "in case he doesn't know where he is," Hegseth said, adding at a November 2022 Group of 20 meeting the instructions were: "YOU will sit at the center, front tables alongside [Indonesian] President [Joko] Widodo and [European Commission] President [Ursula] von der Leyen. … YOU will deliver opening remarks (5 minutes).".From a June 2022 meeting, his detailed instructions were: "YOU enter the Roosevelt Room and say hello to participants … YOU take YOUR seat."
