Yeah. So. Newsflash. The response to COVID may have been a bit over the top. The Chief Medical Officer (CMO) for England told the Covid Inquiry that the Government potentially “overdid” the warnings at the start of the pandemic as lockdowns were introduced and the vulnerable told to “shield”. He said that the balance in communicating the … Read more
The Pink Peach Tree was painted in 1888 by Vincent Van Gogh. One of the first books I purchased in my teens was a large, leather-bound coffee table book featuring works of art by Van Gogh. I came across this book in a basement bookshop on Canal Street in New York City. This was the same … Read more
Some people claiming to be scientists unexpectedly discovered that the temperature history of planet Earth is like Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride. It is all over the place and mostly hotter than today. This is not a discovery. Eighth graders used to know this until recently (not sure there is time for it with all the … Read more
One of the earliest memorable advertising campaigns for robbing you blind to “fix” the climate depicted a polar bear perched on a sliver of sea ice. The tiny island getaway was getting away from where we were told it belonged and taking the polar bears with it. The bears have outlasted that narrative, as they … Read more
Joe Biden gave his last address to the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, and his legacy would have been better served if he passed on the invitation. The speech was long, disjointed, and a shot at Israel, our greatest ally in the Middle East. Joe also tried to reinvent the botched Afghanistan withdrawal and … Read more
A centrally controlled digital currency is a red flag to anyone devoted to privacy and individual liberty. ‘Grok friend Aaron Day ran for president as a platform to warn people about CBDC and the threat it represents to liberty. Once your money can be monitored, controlled, and censored by the government, that ties into social … Read more
Last week, the world narrowly escaped likely nuclear destruction as the Biden Administration considered Ukraine’s request to allow US missiles to strike deeply into Russian territory. Russian President Vladimir Putin warned, as the request was being considered, that because these missiles could not be launched without the active participation of the US military and NATO, … Read more
If you are in the business of selling vaccines or collecting kickbacks for moving product, then the next best thing to the COVID injectables appears to be the Monkey Pox Jab. What is it, exactly? Well, it is an actual vaccine. Great, but new research suggests it only provides (whatever protection it offers) for a … Read more
While all eyes are mostly focused on the presidential election, a threat to our constitutional republic is flying under the public’s radar: the usurpation of total power over all nations at the United Nations Summit of the Future in New York City on September 22nd and 23rd. The Psalmists expose this evil nature of men … Read more
My breach with Islam started as far back as I could discern things. More to the point, I never embraced Islam in the first place, although I was born and raised in a Muslim family. For one thing, I had a tough time following a so-called religion whose founder and followers had butchered my ancestors, … Read more
Freelancing pays more than your main job? I’m going to reveal some of them here. So, who are these people? I’m going to show you two recommendations from people with different careers. The first is Charlotte, who specializes in photovoltaic panel installation. Five years ago, he was still working part-time, although he also started a … Read more
Snow was one of the early casualties of the Global Warming, but when snow refused to play along, they changed it to climate change. The climate is constantly changing and sometimes, in some places, more dramatically than others. Like this! It can snow any month of the year here in Montana, but what’s going on … Read more
America is unique for many reasons, not the least of which is its First Amendment. No nation codifies a right to free speech as protected from government regulation the way we do. Thou Shalt not (Thou, being the government) make laws abridging the freedom of speech or the press. It’s quite encompassing, as is the … Read more
You might not be interested in posts about the Atlantic hurricane season, but you should. It is a pillar of the climate cult mythology to justify political tyranny. The whole project is economic, disguised behind scientism, and operates like a religion. And their prophets are lousy prognosticators. They get nothing right, but this year’s Atlantic … Read more
Something we could learn from inter-war Europe is that democracy led to dictatorship. Put differently, the inability to make it work, or the deliberate undermining of its mechanisms, moved the people from a government at least principally designed to answer to the people into one where the people demanded a strong enough excuse to foment … Read more
In these politically turbulent times, the “illusion of democracy is fading worldwide” as one pundit wrote recently. There is a growing sense in the West that “democracy” is not working well, but there is not yet a full and clear recognition of that fact. Michel Maffesoli, honorary professor at the Sorbonne in Paris, has been saying already for several … Read more
For centuries, advocates for greater state power have claimed that modern sovereign states are like families. The value of the strategy is clear: most people view families as both necessary and natural. Even in our current age of widespread divorce and single parents, the idea of “family” (variously defined) remains enduringly popular. Thus, for a … Read more
I have long argued that the cure for what ails our kids is to fix the public schools. High cost and poor outcomes aside, the rise in physical and mental health issues in kids is directly attributable to the ideological capture of public education. The schools made kids sick by forcing them to wear masks. … Read more
In the Washington Post on Monday, the headlines read: Musk and Durov are facing the revenge of the regulators. Former US Labor Secretary, Robert Reich, in the British Guardian newspaper, published a piece on how to “rein-in” Elon Musk, suggesting that “regulators around the world should threaten Musk with arrest” on lines of that which befell Pavel Durov recently … Read more
NewScientist, which I take to mean they peddle the new scientism, got some help from Google the other day. They have an article about the Jetstream that was pushed to the top of the news feed. It posits the notion that your emissions broke it. The problem with the new science is that the old … Read more
