The following is the full text of President Abraham Lincoln’s Address at The Soldier’s National Cemetery, now known as the Gettysburg National Cemetery, In Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, on this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure.

We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives, that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate—we cannot hallow—this ground. The brave men, living…

Matt Vespa at Townhall penned an article on “Why the White House Correspondents’ Association Ripped Into Joe Biden This Weekend.” Naturally, it was Team Biden keeping the president away from a microphone despite urgent debt-limit talks, lest he say something that might make him look past his prime….as if hiding him doesn’t leave that impression.

Nick Sortor tweeted out the full statement from WHCA president (and NPR reporter) Tamara Keith late Friday:

The WHCA board pushed hard for the White House to hold a briefing on Friday or potentially over the weekend given intense interest in the high stakes debt ceiling negotiations and the risk that the US economy could go over a cliff.

The White House was not persuaded by our argument that the public deserves to see them answer questions. Monday is a federal holiday, which means there could be four days in the…

For the poorest and most vulnerable, staying warm in winter is a daily battle for survival. Thanks to Europe’s (literally suicidal) wind and solar ‘transition’, power prices have spiralled out of control and in Germany power rationing is now routine, likewise in Britain.

The Germans, of course, led the charge when it came to throwing subsidies at chaotically intermittent wind and solar, with Britain in close pursuit.

In each case, it’s the poor and elderly who end up the victims of an ideological obsession.

German power prices are now the highest in Europe and thousands of households have been disconnected from the grid, unable to pay their power bills. Britain isn’t far behind.

The cost in human mortality is staggering. A study carried out by the Economist reckons that some 68,000 Europeans perished last winter thanks to spiralling energy costs. Their data shows that wind and solar-obsessed Britain and Germany…

Following the closure of another coal-fired power plant, Australians have just been told their power bills will jump by 25 to 30% come July. That colossal hike follows annual, double-digit increases every year, for the best part of a decade (see above).

$60 billion in subsidies (so far) to chaotically intermittent wind and solar was designed to wreck our conventional coal-fired power generation fleet and, true to purpose, that’s exactly what happened.

One of the recent victims was Liddell – a perfectly operable 2,000 MW coal-fired power plant in NSW was shut down earlier this month. Predictably enough, wholesale power prices jumped 80%, almost overnight.

Now, Australians are facing the reality of attempting to run on sunshine and breezes. The delusional lunatics in charge are only making matters worse. And this in a Country blessed with abundant coal, gas and uranium reserves – which it merrily exports but…
