Morning Update: Can’t Sue China

Today, on the Morning Update, climate cultists are spewing their emissions at the US Supreme Court, hoping for a big score against “big oil,” but if they truly want to “make a difference,” they should be suing China… but maybe they can’t. Watch on the ‘Grok Rumble Channel if the Embedded Video does not load. … Read more

MACDONALD: New York Gets Double-Tapped

According to reporting by the EPOCH Times, not one but two Federal judges have told New York to F-off. Okay, editorial license. They informed the state that its Climate Superfund law was unlawful for all sorts of reasons, much like Vermont’s, which I wrote about here. I gave all sorts of fun lefty-triggering examples, but … Read more

MACDONALD: 1915 and 1927

Until this year, 1914 was the least active Atlantic Basin hurricane season on record. I know, on record doesn’t mean much. If the Earth is 4 billion years old, the absence of 3.9999999999… billion years’ worth of records makes any predictions or remembrances appear insignificant. And so they are, but what interests me isn’t how … Read more

MACDONALD: Another Climate Cult Setback

It’s been a rough couple of years for the climate cult, and not just the last two under Mr. Trump. Sure, they super-funded the cult under Biden and again as he was walking out the door, and clawing that all back wasn’t their biggest problem, believe it or not. Sure, they’ve lost a few laundromats … Read more

MACDONALD: Not So Smart

The elected elite think they are so smart. The people who elect them think they are smart for doing that. Often, the otherwise disinterested political middle thinks it’s smart to elect them as well. The result is dumb people in office doing things to you they think are smart but are not. A Colorado woman … Read more

MACDONALD: The Problem With All Of It

Whether you like them or not, the hurricane season posts are a critical balance to the fearmongering agenda of the Climate Cult. More and stronger storms. That’s why we (or at least I) do these. Media bias is strong when the weather presents the opportunity, so we work to provide balance, but no one seems … Read more

MACDONALD: White Egg Supremacists

Breaking news. A UK Supermarket chain is racist. Yes. Sainsbury’s, a dominant retail outfit in the UK that runs just under 1,500 locations (plus a few hundred others under different names), is banning brown eggs. All I can think to say is White Egg Supremacy. What’s next, swastikas and goose-stepping? Maybe. Their stated rationale for … Read more

Morning Update: Karl Marx on Skis

Today, on your Morning Update, we celebrate the 26th birthday of “your kids won’t know snow,” with some good news for snow and a reminder why it doesn’t matter how much or how little snow we get. This Climate thing has nothing to do with the weather. I’m a bit sleepy and hoarse in this … Read more

Vermont State House

ROPER: Republicans Win Big But Dems Try To Claw Some Back

Thirteen of seventeen Senate Democrats joined every Republican in repealing Act 18, the Clean Heat Standard, in a significant moral victory for the GOP. (For those wondering, the four colossally out of touch “no” votes came from Andrew Perchlik (D/P- Washington), Ann Cummings (D-Washington), Becca White (D-Windsor), and Tanya Vyhovsky (D/P -Chittenden C.) But it … Read more

MACDONALD: No Better Metaphor for Bangor, Maine, Than This

Tales abound of normal people fleeing blue states to escape a laundry list of ills. Taxes, illegals, crime, homelessness, drugs, gangs, taxes, regulations, fraud, democrats, taxes, did I miss any? I did. All that COVID crap they pulled moved a small mountain of people, belongings, and U-Hauls from Blue States to Red States. But you … Read more

MACDONALD: Brush Fire Blame

Given the opportunity, a Proglodyte will lie about anything. Take Global warming. Everything is caused by it, relabeled as climate change to ensure the hymns matched the dogma. Heat, cold, rain, drought, sun, shade, storms, quiet, no snow, more snow, everything is the result of their sky god, while yours is just a fake thing … Read more

MACDONALD: Net Zero Is Anti-Human

The keep-it-in-the-ground folks are idiots. Yes, they are idiots for falling for the green scam. Stooges to the decarbonization political class who don’t plan on decarbonizing themselves. Victims of a soft-headed idea that oil and gas are a greater threat to life on earth than not having them. They are wrong, and there are tons … Read more

Michelle Wu

MACDONALD: Wu Is Me

It’s like a million years ago in internet time, but quite recent in the real world. After decades of policy choices meant to make electricity more expensive, and everything else with it, the political left attempted to blame Donald Trump and Republicans for what they did. We see a similar reaction to motor-fuel prices. They … Read more

ROPER: The Land Use Law Isn’t the Only Attack on Rural Vermonters

Rural Vermonters have certainly woken up to the dangers of Act 181, the state land use law that threatens to basically steal the property rights away from landowners living outside the 2.5 percent of the state deemed to be “urban settlement.” The “Vermont Act 181” Facebook group has exploded almost overnight to 11,400 members, the … Read more

Empty wallet

MACDONALD: Pay More Get Less

Some countries, eighty-five of them if you believe the reporting, are trying to create a climate confab cabal outside the UN’s failed COP process, and why not? COP 30 was a disaster, and how are they all supposed to tap into the trillions in wasted “climate money” if they can’t all agree on pointless targets … Read more

Morning Update: Media Snow Job

Today, on the Morning update, a local Fake Media report says Ski Industry professionals are concerned about declining snowfall. They call it new research, but it’s from last summer, before a record Northeast ski season – and that’s not the only problem.
