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

If the defendants arrested for involvement in the breaching of the Capitol on January 6, 2021 were charged with insurrection, surely, Attorney General Merrick Garland would know; yet when asked, he said, “I don’t believe so.”
Garland’s response came when asked by Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert during Congressional testimony, “Has any defendant involved in the January 6th events been charged with insurrection?”… read more

We often hear the term “inside baseball” when someone attempts to explain something not readily known. In politics, we often hear commentators attempt to explain things taking place behind the scenes. Normally, it concerns a subject in which the public isn’t privy to, or not particularly interested.
I have made a number of observations lately on changes occurring in the political coverage by the media, and thought I would give you a little inside baseball.… read more

I know, we’re told never to speak ill of the dead, but rather to show respect for someone who has died by not saying something untoward about the individual. After all he or she is no longer in a position to oppose us, and most of all, the dead cannot defend themselves.… read more

KAMALA HARRIS – Further proof that the vice president should be considered the enemy has surfaced with clear evidence that she is violating the Johnson Amendment by allowing video tapes of her political endorsement of Terry McAuliffe for governor of Virginia to be shown in some 300 black churches.
The first showing, in which she declares “I believe that my friend Terry McAuliffe is the leader Virginia needs at this moment,” was aired on Sunday and is scheduled to be aired in the remaining churches through November 2, 2021.… 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

Coincidentally, “Enemies of the State,” was the heading on John Hinderaker’s blog, PowerLine, in which he, too, noted Attorney General Merrick Garland’s decision to go after so-called “domestic terrorists” – parents and grandparents – who are practicing their right of free speech at school board meetings.
While my enemies list refers to enemies of the people, Garland views every day Americans, interested in their children’s education, as enemies of the state.… 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
