More Bad News for Democrats: Trump Wasn’t Just Right About China

March 11, 2020

by Steve MacDonald

It is difficult to find something Donald Trump has said, done, or suggested that Democrats have not contradicted or equated with impending doom.

by Skip

In a literal sense (and no small amount of tongue-in-cheek), if you have to pay for them you’ve got a “bank” of bags. It adds up! And he could make money by standing in front of the store’s entrance and go “Psst – 10 bags for 4 cents each, a 20% discount from Big Bags!”

January 2, 2020

by Steve MacDonald

One of my favorite stories from 2019 came out of Glacier National Park. The “government’s official position” per the experts in Montana was that by 2020 the park would be glacier free. When it became apparent that it was a lie, they quietly changed signs and displays.

November 9, 2021December 10, 2019

by Steve MacDonald

While Things are Good, Are You Optimistic About How We’re Going to Behave in Bad Times?

September 24, 2019

Shouldn’t we try to look at life not as we want it to be but more analytically? What are the trends that we’re seeing, what is the data? If you look around do you see a whole lot of trends or data that suggests we are making really good decisions?

If the Seas Are Rising Why Is Private Money Pouring Into this “Doomed” Island Nation?

May 2, 2019

by Steve MacDonald

It’s been over a year since the Maldives was to have been consumed by the Climate Cult’s angry ocean gods. Not only are they still there things are looking up. So, much so that the Democrat’s rising seas narrative is in danger of collapse. Or, at least heaps of ridicule.

Right before Memorial Day weekend, 2018, the desperate Left was blaming Mr. Trump for rising gas prices. This “hidden tax” was depriving the peasants of that meaningless tax cut Republicans had passed. Denying these families their crumbs. Trump should be impeached.
