Al Gore famously launched the climate-carbon crisis campaign with his alarmist proclamations of “inconvenient truths” about human warming of the planet. His repeated gaffes have since undermined his credibility, making “the boy who cried climate wolf” howl ever louder.

Night Cap: AOC’s Leftist Sabotage Is Coming Home to Roost
Recent public complaints by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) that New York costs too much for the working class (and should increase taxes on wealthier residents!) are rubbing salt in the wounds of her strident opposition to Amazon locating its headquarters in the city in 2019.
Night Cap: Saudi Water Battle in Arizona
An ongoing kerfuffle over alleged Saudi water withdrawals from Arizona to grow alfalfa highlights the complexity of competition for increasingly scarce – and thus valuable – water for crops and residential uses.
Coal Plants on the Worldwide Chopping Block
COP28, the climate summit underway in Dubai through Dec. 12, has so far displayed a circus parade of aspiring celebrities jostling for superiority in the climate cult. Perhaps highest on the ridicu-ladder of nonsense, poised between a pontificating King Charles and a social justice Pope, is US climate envoy John Kerry’s absurd call to ban … Read more
Victims Retraumatized by New State Rules on Release of Criminally Insane
A recent hearing to consider whether dangerous killer David Peterson should be released from Whiting Forensic Division of Connecticut Valley Hospital (CVH) exposes a serious flaw in a recent change of Connecticut law.

Making Informed Eating Choices in a World of Toxic Options.
Christians find liberation in Christ’s teachings, emancipating them from the stringent, legalistic dietary codes of Judaism. Jesus implored followers not to fret over food and drink (Matthew 6:25; Luke 12:22), emphasizing that true defilement does not stem from what enters the body (Mark 7:15).
Super Pigs at the Border!
As Americans wrangle over open southern borders swamped with “undocumented” visitors, another border incursion has quietly involved feral pigs. The problem of this destructive invasive species has long been witnessed in the American South, but the feral swine pressure is mounting at the northern border as Canadian “super-pigs” threaten US public health and agriculture. In … Read more
Icarus and the Sun
In truly Icarian fashion, the higher mankind has climbed toward the technological sun, the more arrogant and reckless the race has become.
Night Cap – US Climate Assessment Report: Dogma Over Truth
A new crescendo in histrionics was evident in the latest National Climate Assessment Report released on November 14. As energy prices rise and global efforts to dominate fossil fuels, food production, and international travel are embraced by the Biden administration, the credibility of the climate change narrative is wobbling, and for good reason.
Elon Musk’s Solar Panel Paradox
In a recent interview with Joe Rogan, Elon Musk claimed the United States could be supplied with electricity by a 10,000-square-mile solar array. Mr. Rogan did not critically press the iconic X-owner as to the logistical or environmental problems such an installation would present.
Biden Beef Deal Risks Foot and Mouth Disease
A controversial initiative by the Biden Administration proposes to permit the importation into the US of fresh beef from Paraguay. Many industry stakeholders protest that this will expose American agriculture to the risks of foot-and-mouth disease, with potentially devastating socioeconomic consequences.
Navigating the Cultural Storm – Religious Freedom, Education, and the Battle for Parental Rights
Public elementary schools have rapidly implemented nebulous “Comprehensive Sex Education” (CSE), which introduces children at a very young age to sex, gender identity, gender orientation, and a worldly rainbow of other sexual “education.”
Pope Francis and the Quest for a One-World Religion
Recent signals by Pope Francis that the Catholic Church may soften its stance on homosexuality have created division and distress for traditional Catholic believers who seek to adhere to Scripture. Influenced by liberation theology (premised on Marxist tenets), the Pope increasingly employs social justice terminology, universalism, and naive globalist aspirations in his proclamations.
High Stakes Dispute Over Roundup Weed Killer
Since its development as an integral part of genetically modified organism (GMO) cropping, glyphosate – the active weed-killing ingredient in Roundup – has attracted controversy over whether it causes human disease, particularly non-Hodgkins lymphoma.
Israel is Undermined by Critical Race Theory
The world is fractured over the Israel-Hamas conflict, reflecting changing attitudes toward the State of Israel, especially in America. Pro-Palestine college protests have not merely opposed civilian casualties in Gaza but called for eliminating Israel entirely under the mantra “from the river to the sea.”
Transfering Wealth From Poor People to Rich People Under the Guise of Saving the World
A new Texas study calculates the full costs of operating electric vehicles (EVs) approach the equivalent of $17.33 per gallon. Doubtless, battles will be waged over the accuracy of these calculations.
The President Promises ‘Climate-Smart’ Agriculture That Misses the Point
President Joe Biden has kicked off an “Investing in Rural America Events Series,” which he claims will boost economic growth in rural America and bolster farms. However, inspecting under the hood of the new $5 billion in Inflation Reduction Act spending reveals that “climate-smart” agriculture is geek-speak for selling farmers renewable energy technologies and little else.
Normalizing Evil
Sam Smith’s Grammy Awards tribute to Satan reflected the acceptability in the current culture of what would be unthinkable even in jest in the past: glorifying the hellish. The normalization of Satanism as a respectable belief system is just one of many signs of these seemingly End Times.
Milking Cows for Methane
Novel scientific processes are being developed to reduce methane production by cows, including feeding milk cows the chemical 3-nitrooxypropanol (3-NOP) as an “enteric inhibitor,” marketed under the brand name BovaerⓇ in Europe and pending approval for cows in the U.S. Other experimental additives include red seaweed (being fed to cows for Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream).
Greenwashing: The Lies We Tell of Recycling and the Climate
In gauging the promises of climate rescue by corporations and non-governmental organizations, citizens must reflect upon the track record of past technological projects peddled as the cure to all that ails us. EVs, wind turbines, and solar panels are touted as absolutely necessary to save the planet.
