The Climate Cult’s Green Meanines have been blaming increased atmospheric CO2 for everything, including wildfires—and there is (sort of, kind of) a connection. Arsonists are starting fires when none begin on their own, and then the media and activists blame that on rising CO2.
Steve MacDonald
Sen. David ‘Whale Killer’ Watters
Democrat State Senator David ‘rising’ Watters deserves a new nickname or at least a second one. He earned the first as your atypical environmental legislative radical ranting about accelerated sea level rise (and associated tin-foil-hattery).
The Comment of the Week Winner ….
Unrelated site business: A rise in recurring site downtime issues has prompted me to consider changing hosting companies, so the update is in a holding pattern until all the options are reviewed and a decision is made (sorry). We are not, however, waiting to find out who last week’s comment of the week winner is.
EVs Worse for the Environment Episode Number (…I’ve Lost Count)
Electric Vehicle owners continue to find themselves the victims of a massive global bait-and-switch. They bought the car thinking it would save the planet (jokes on you, fool) only to discover hidden costs, from insurance to longer and more expensive repair times, for a car that’s not really green, that isn’t running on green energy, and now this.
The Uncivil War The Left So Desperately Wants
I was working on a long-form Substack post for Memorial Day, and as I was revisiting the history, something interesting occurred to me. The Civil War’s Decoration Day became Memorial Day, and one of the South’s pre-Civil War Concerns is similar to modern Americans’ current problems.
The WHO Pandemic Treaty Is Dead – For Now
From the take the wins when you get them file, the World Health Organization has gone into its yearly meeting with health ministers absent any agreement on a global Pandemic Treaty.
Night Cap: Stockholders Send Warning to Oreo – Don’t Budlight This Brand
The parent company that owns the Oreo empire, Mondelez, is being warned by the National Legal and Policy Center that its involvement with partisan political groups, specifically the LGBTQ pressure group PFLAG, is putting shareholder value at significant risk.
Celebrate or Else: Washington State High School Girls Track Champion is a Guy (Who Couldn’t Compete Otherwise)
From the Democrats Actually Hate Women Files, Donovan Brown (dba: Veronica Garcia) won the Washington state championship in the girl’s 400m dash. He beat his second-place competitor by 3.25 Seconds.
This Alleged Warning About Street Crime Smells Like Media Air Support for Digital Currency
If you wanted to try and encourage people to get more comfortable with the idea of digital-only currency, it might make sense to seed the landscape with stories about how dangerous it is to carry cash. Perhaps even water that landscape with a growing sense of desperation that leads to more crime.
Another Week, Another Poll to Choose the Comment of the Week
Another seven calendar days have passed us by for good or ill. The world turns, the sun rises and sets, commenters comment, and I send you seven comments from which to choose this week’s winner.
Elections Have Consequences: National Security Threats
More Border Secuirty (lack of it) chaos!
Shades of HB1002: Local Media Will have to Pay $1400.00 for Public Documents Related to Governor’s Travel
A majority of the New Hampshire legislature thought it would be a good idea to allow local towns and cities to charge citizens for public documents. The (incorrect) presumption is that citizens are more likely to abuse RTK laws for Evil than local government.
New Hampshire’s “Red Flag” Camels Nose is Back! [Updated]
A few days ago, we celebrated the near-death experience of HB1711. This incremental red flag law would open a door, or get the camel’s nose under the tent, to more intrusive versions in future legislative sessions. It was tabled in the NH Senate until Thursday, when ” Republican” Rep. Terry Roy attached it to another bill.
Reminder: Before Ayotte Claimed it We Used it!
Kelly Ayotte’s waning years in the US Senate did not heap glory on the Republican Party unless you mean John McCain’s version of it. That is not meant to be flattery. McCain’s ‘final days’ included spreading the debunked Clinton Campaign opposition research to the media to undermine the elected president (which the IG confirmed).
Attendance!
As the session winds down, Reps can rest assured they will no longer have to suffer through these reports. Yes, it is another Republican House attendance report—our regular list of who missed roll call votes and how many.
Another US State Has Banned Lab Grown ‘Meat’
Cloned meat, one of several names I’ve bandied about for Lab-grown meat (mystery meat is another), is not better for the environment, it is not better for people, and it is not the future of beef in America if actual Americans have anything to say.
Dave Martin: The Pandemic Was A Planned Marketing Test
We’re always looking for anything that will inform our readers and trigger the fragile snowflakes, and this clip might be just what the under-trained, ill-informed public school health clinic counselor ordered.
What Fracking and Lithium Have In Common (Enviros Will Hate This)
The left ‘hates’ fossil fuels the same way they ‘hate’ guns. They need them, you don’t. Fracking was a logical target because it produces the energy we need at prices everyone can afford. Killing it was a priority, and kill it they did, but new research suggests it might be a critical part of the supposed green energy transition.
Law Prohibiting Local School Mask Mandates Heads to NH Governor’s Desk (Again!)
The New Hampshire State Senate just passed (and I mean Just!) HB1093 AN ACT prohibiting mandatory mask policies in schools. “This bill prohibits school boards and other public education agencies from adopting, enforcing, or implementing a policy that requires students or members of the public to wear a facial covering.”
Depopulationist Says ‘Quiet Part’ Outloud – Doesn’t Regret It
When a partisan faction committed to depopulation by other means openly admits that we’d be better off with fewer of us around, they mean it. Culling the wrong people out of the population has been a goal for over a century, and these social engineers openly support policies that prove it.
