Glad to see the White House taking time off from dealing with a global energy crisis and potential nuclear war to hit the hard issues like getting Ron Klain's wife a job advocating anti-human policies abroad.
Washington Free Beacon (9/29/22) reports: "The wife of President Joe Biden's top aide has a fancy new gig at the U.S. State Department. Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Wednesday announced that Monica Medina, wife of White House chief of staff Ron Klain, will serve as U.S. Special Envoy for Biodiversity and Water Resources. According to the Washington Post, which initially declined to note that Medina is married to Klain, the decision to promote her to the newly established role of 'diplomat for plants and animals" is one that 'underscores the Biden's administration's desire" to fight climate change. 'There's a direct connection between biodiversity loss and instability in a lot of parts of the world,' Klain's wife told the Post. 'It's not just about nature for nature's sake. I think it is about people.' Medina currently serves in the State Department as assistant secretary for oceans and international environmental and scientific affairs. She is an outspoken proponent of the Green New Deal, a controversial legislative proposal sponsored by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) that would cost roughly $9 trillion to implement but would have a negligible effect on global temperatures."

"Today’s task for Floridians is survival, and the next week’s task—which the nation should share—is recovery. But the other job is limiting the danger going forward, and it must be approached with the same energy that Ian is bringing onshore this week. "Â
