Government Wants To Ban Everything That Helps Keep Humans Alive
Survival without power, water, or help for days on end is only possible with resources the authoritarians running our country want to ban.
Vice President Kamala Harris shared a seemingly innocuous photograph of herself and second gentleman Doug Emhoff to social media Thursday along with the message, "From our family to yours, happy Thanksgiving."
Astute observers noticed that the climate-conscious Democrat was standing next to an appliance the Biden administration has contemplated banning — a contraption Harris' fellow climate alarmists figure no family should have in their kitchen on Thanksgiving or on any other day.
"Wait...that's a gas stove! The same kind Dems want to BAN you from owning," wrote Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).
Former Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) tweeted, "Are they? A) Hypocritical [or] B) That stupid that they didn't realize it."
Florida state Rep. Berny Jacques provided Walker with another possibility, writing, "C) Hierarchy ...gas stoves for the elites, but not for we the people."
Jacques added, "Meanwhile they want you to give up your gas stoves, while they live it up with theirs. Friendly Reminder: not only will gas stoves remain legal in Florida, we also made them tax free!"

Earlier this year, the Biden administration raised the possibility of banning gas stoves over concerns about air pollutants. An estimated 40 million American households use gas stoves.
Richard Trumka Jr., a Biden-nominated commissioner of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, told Bloomberg News in a January interview that his agency was contemplating taking action, stressing, "Any option is on the table. Products that can't be made safe can be banned."
Trumka later said in an interview with the Washington Post that gas stoves were risky, stating, "If I didn't have an electric stove, I might be thinking about a switch right now."
Facing significant backlash — including from moderate Democrats like Sen. Joe Manchin (W.Va.) — the chair of the commission announced neither he nor his agency had plans to ban gas stoves. The White House similarly downplayed the possibility of a ban; however Biden's Department of Energy released a proposal for new environmental standards for gas stoves the following month aimed ultimately at gradually discouraging their use.
While leftist ambitions appear to have been put on the back burner at the federal level, New York Democrats saw the scheme through, making their state the first to ban natural gas and other fossil fuels in new buildings in May.
Seizing upon the perceived disconnect between the administration's climate alarmism and Harris' gas-fueled Thanksgiving, Libs of TikTok wrote on X, "Gas stoves for me but not for thee."
Rep. Pat Fallon (R-Texas), among the many who similarly criticized the vice president, noted, "Everyone loves gas stoves! Stop trying to ban them and just let Americans cook how they please."

God blessed the United States with an abundance of energy resources, lifting generations out of poverty while making our economy the envy of the world. So, naturally, in the name of green energy, the lunatic left has declared all-out war on America's energy independence. First, their anger coalesced against coal. Then came their attack on patriarchal petroleum. Now, not content with rendering us energy impotent on the world stage, these Marxist fanatics have set their sights on America's most abundant and clean-burning fuel: natural gas. And, according to their adherents, that gas stove in your kitchen isn't just a health hazard, it's a racist range. Join Mark as he uncovers the left's lunacy against everything energy. Is their aim to control and dictate anything and everything? And, if you don't bow down and obey, what will be the consequences?

CNN host accidentally EXPOSES real motives for gas stove ban live on-air
Every once in a while, left-wing propagandists will accidentally blurt out the truth. That's exactly what happened on CNN the other day when one of the network's hosts was discussing the Biden administration's proposed war on gas stoves.
While the official party line from the federal government claimed that gas stoves needed to be phased out to prevent childhood asthma, CNN let slip that there is a bigger motive behind the move. Watch as Dave Rubin reacts to this rare moment of honesty from the liberal media.
