Yesterday, I purposely chose to combine the recognition of my November Fool’s Day honorees with the preview of COP26, the UN climate change summit in Glasgow, Scotland, where foolishness will abound for two weeks.
Some 30,000 people are expected to participate in the event, from presidents and prime ministers to community activists, all of whom believe that human activities influence climate change, and their use of fossil fuels has to be stopped. … read more

It’s November Fool’s Day, and while I have selected Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego and Councilwoman Yassimin Ansari to share the award, I am willing to extend the dubious recognition to all individuals who have fallen for the “scientific” belief that human influence has caused the climate to change.
Why Gallego and Ansari? … read more

“If you repeat a lie often enough, it will become accepted as truth.” – Joseph Goebbels, Nazi minister of propaganda
That well-known quote came to mind when I read the headline, “New poll finds majority in U.S. concerned about climate,” in the New York Post, adding that 55 percent of Americans want Congress to pass a bill to ensure that more of the nation’s electricity comes from clean energy and less from climate-damaging coal and natural gas.”… read more
Commentary
DEMOCRAT MISINFORMATION, aka Dirty Tricks, is alive and well, and Laurie Roberts, the bleeding-heart liberal columnist of the Arizona Republic, proves she’s ready, willing and able to assist the party.
She still has the long-knife out for Sen. Kyrsten Sinema for her position on the filibuster and for not falling in line with the party on the massive human infrastructure bill. … read more

Just when you think the men and women of science have come to grips with the lack of integrity in their study of climate change, outlined in the summer edition of Issues of National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, from which I quoted their admission in my October 11, 2021 posting, another far-fetched tale appears in print.… read more

SCIENCE SPEAKS – How often have you read about something being “settled science,” as if there’s no room for further discussion? In the Summer edition of Issues of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, however, the authors write of the consequences of pervasive, implausible climate scenarios in “How Climate Science Scenarios Lost Touch With Reality:”
“A continued focus on implausible emissions in climate research is a failure of science’s supposed internal quality assurance mechanisms and thus a failure of scientific integrity. … read more

On October 5, 2021, my wife and I celebrated our 65th wedding anniversary.
Perusing our album of black and white wedding photographs was a vivid reminder of how times have changed since 1956. I would suppose that wedding photos today are taken on an iPhone.
The American flag hung in every classroom, where the pledge of allegiance was repeated each day, and prayers were not out of the question. … read more

“I am a master legislator. I just love it. I consider myself a weaver, like I have a loom. And I bring all these different threads together.” – Nancy Pelosi, October 29, 2017
Those were her words from an interview with the Washington Post.
Those “threads” she now faces are the handful in the socialist progressive caucus, who are holding the infrastructure bill hostage. … read more

Biden’s White House has screwed up immigration on our southern border, the withdrawal of our human and supply assets from Afghanistan, our energy independence and have shown no interest in quelling crime in our major cities, yet, the banner headline in my Sunday morning paper reads, “White House working to address the thawing Arctic.”… read more

LEE GREENWOOD, known for his patriotic anthem, “God Bless the USA,” since it debuted in 1984, has been asked by President Biden to resign or be dismissed from his position on the National Council for the Arts. Pathetic and petty.
Greenwood was first appointed to the council by President George W.… read more
