If you have followed my commentaries over the last six years, you are well aware of the climate scam. But most Americans are not. True, they seem to realize that “Global Warming” has little basis in fact. Only one percent believe that we are facing a climate catastrophe, while only three percent of the young […]
Northwest Natural gas company has a BIG PROBLEM. They are trying to sell fossil fuel in an area that strongly disapproves of fossil fuels. Yet we are heavily dependent on fossil fuels, because they provide a high quality of life at very reasonable prices (or once reasonable prices). What is Northwest Natural to do when […]
Children are very vulnerable, because of limited life experience. They inherently trust their parents, teachers, and other adults who may not live up to that trust. And their desire to be accepted by others is too often an invitation to risky behavior, involving alcohol, drugs, sex, radical ideas, and fear. In a word, they are […]
Believing the unbelievable has consequences, sometimes very bad consequences. We expect our public officials to have IQs greater than shoe size and therefore to make wise decisions. That is increasingly not the case. And no political party (on the Left or Right) has a monopoly on stupidity. The British and their European allies are a […]
The rapid collapse of Afghanistan under an onslaught of religious fanatics with primitive weapons was completely predictable. Yet President Biden maintained that it would not happen, as we closed our largest military base (Bagram air base), reduced our military presence, and eliminated our offensive capability in the middle of Afghanistan’s summer fighting season. We have […]
Because the global temperature has been very close to normal for several months, most people will wonder about a “Great Heat Wave,” except those who live in the Pacific Northwest. At the end of June, Western Oregon and Washington experienced one of the most extreme heat waves ever observed. For three days, temperatures rose to […]
It is almost the same story, time and again. Most people prefer to trust rather than verify, opening the door to fraud, sometimes fraud on an incredible scale. Just a little competent checking might have prevented monumental disasters. Did anyone note the recent passing of one of the most brazen con men of all time: […]
This is a tale about mad scientists or mad ‘wanna-be’ scientists who have the money and/or power to implement their very dangerous ideas. It is a cautionary tale about the great dangers we face from those who claim to understand science, but frequently have no idea even what science is, let alone understand its complexity. […]
EPIC FAIL: Green Energy Collapses in Texas It was billed as the storm of the century, with bitterly cold arctic air covering Texas, all the way into Mexico. It became a Texas standoff at the OK Corral. Mother Nature was pitted against the heroes of modern electrical production: wind and solar. Who would ultimately survive […]
Let me start by saying that I believe Donald Trump won the 2020 Presidential Election, only to have it stolen from him by the usual suspects I so well remember from my days living in Chicago: the Democrat Party. There was so much evidence of malfeasance, from statistical evidence, to mysterious dumps of results for […]
