‘Just Whistling in the Wind’

Commentary

Sure, you’ve heard that phrase before.  So have I.

While researching its origins, I found this appropriate meaning for its usage: 

“If you describe someone as whistling in the wind, you mean they are trying unsuccessfully to change something which cannot be changed.”

It’s appropriate because it applies to the effort to have us believe that wind power is capable of supplying us with a reasonable generation of electricity cheaper than fossil fuels.… read more

GOP Can Succeed in Walking and Chewing Gum at the Same Time Where Democrats Failed

Commentary

I recently wrote of a new talking point emanating from the left in which the new House majority would be accused of spending all of its time on investigations.

One involving Hunter Biden and his White House access-peddling and another seeking the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for his failure to secure our southern border. … read more

So Much to Say, So Little Space to Say It

Commentary

I endeavor to keep my commentaries brief because I don’t want to lose you as a reader, but I occasionally find it necessary to expound on a topic in an effort to present the whole story objectively.

In addition, I prefer to keep each post focused on a single topic, but like today, I feel the need to give you my thoughts on several topics as concisely as I am able.… read more

Don’t Be So Sure That the Climate Extremists Have Won

Commentary

I borrowed the headline for this post from a fellow blogger, Francis Menton, who stays atop the global energy system better than anyone in his blog, Manhattan Contrarian.  Regular readers may recall that I quote him frequently.

Like me, I believe many of you are concerned with the Biden administration’s fantasy agenda of transforming our nation, and the world, off fossil fuels in favor of renewables wind and solar.… read more

‘Targeting’ Mexican Cartels and Biden’s Big Lie on Drilling Permits

Commentary

Regular readers may recall that I suggested here, on September 14, 2022, that those Mexican cartels responsible for producing fentanyl pills for smuggling into America needed to be treated as terrorists.

That is, they should be taken out just as we did Qasem Soleimani and Ayman al Zawahiri.  While they were eliminated with the use of drone-fired Hellfire missiles, I suggested we tap the covert intelligence capability of the CIA to systematically destroy their labs, one by one. … read more

Biden Cannot Deny It: The Midterms are An Indictment of His Policy Decisions

Commentary

It wasn’t surprising to hear President Biden say Republicans planned to “tear down what I’ve been able to do” during a rare interview with Jonathan Capehart on MSNBC on Friday.

BIDEN REVERSES TRUMP POLICIES

Not surprising, because that’s exactly what he did with former President Trump’s accomplishments on his first day in office. … read more

Those Global Warming Temperatures

I have written previously about faulty climate models being used by scientists and academics to study global warming, the results of which are used by academics and eventually activists and politicians to scare the public.

Another major survey into the accuracy of climate models has found that all of the past temperatures between 1980 and 2021 were excessive compared with accurate satellite measurements, according to Professor Nicola Scafetta, a physicist at the University of Naples.… read more
