“Human carbon pollution has already pushed the planet into unprecedented territory, ravaging ecosystems, raising sea levels and exposing millions of people to new weather extremes. At the current rate of emissions, the world will burn through its remaining ‘carbon budget’ by 2030, putting the ambitious goal of keeping warming to 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit irrevocably out of reach.”… read more

I don’t watch NBC’s left-leaning Meet the Press for obvious reasons, so when I read that Hillary Clinton made an appearance, I just had to find out what she had to say.
Before I provide you with the highlights, I am compelled to take you back to 2013, when Susan Rice was the fallback to appear on the Sunday news shows in her place, responding to questions about what happened during the Benghazi raid that killed four Americans, including our ambassador.… read more

“Of course, the president’s confident that his son didn’t break the law,” the president’s Chief of Staff Ron Klain told George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s This Week.
“George, the president is confident that his family did the right thing. But, again, I want to just be really clear, these are actions by Hunter and his brother. … read more

In my last post I covered material from my “stack of stuff” on immigration, inflation, Biden corruption, the midterms and climate change, leaving you with “more stuff in my next post.” Here goes.

Whenever I write on single issues, some excellent material ends up in my stack of stuff. I save it because it’s stuff you need to know and may not have heard or read about.
Excuse me, but I have to again begin with a bit of humor because there’s so much negative stuff in the news. … read more

We’re seeing strange things happening in the media. As I contemplated it, I was reminded of the 1953 record release, “Strange Things Are Happening,” by Red Buttons.
Older readers of this blog may remember it. When he appeared on television, he would cup his ear and sing “ho ho … he he … ha ha” between the lyric verses
While Buttons was better known for his movie supporting roles in “The Longest Day,” “Hatari!,”… read more

Not a day goes by that I don’t hear or read something about climate change that doesn’t bring laughter from this blogger.
Just last week, I wrote about dogsledders in southwest Michigan who were complaining that because of climate change, the frost-free season grew by 16 days over the past 66 years, resulting in less snowfall.… read more

There’s a quote again circulating the Internet said to be a translation into English from a newspaper in the Czech Republic that I have been unable to authenticate, but I thought I would share excerpts with you because, whoever wrote it, abroad or here at home, it’s on the mark.… read more

I found it astonishing that within a few days, President Biden talked of a new world order, intimated we might answer Russia’s use of chemicals in kind, suggested that the 82nd Airborne might see action in Ukraine, and most recently he seemed to call for Putin’s ouster through regime change.… read more

I recently wrote of watching Democrats criticizing each other, like the members of the radical squad – Reps. Ocasio-Cortez, Omar, Talib and Pressley – attacking Sen. Joe Manchin over his lack of support for the massive Build Back Better legislation.
It isn’t new. In December, New York Times columnist Frank Bruni wrote a piece, “Democrats’ Dangerous Appetite for Eating Their Own.… read more
