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.

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.
Problems with Underground Carbon Storage – Capturing CO2 or Corporate Profits?
Carbon sequestration is now common climate change parlance for processes that remove carbon from the atmosphere and store it either in organic matter or geological formations. But is it really as good as it sounds? The first method, also called rewilding, involves growing trees. The second, geological sequestration, involves a massive industry, pipelines, and the … Read more
States Eye Rejecting Federal Education Money Because It Comes With Too Many Strings

Anti-Hunting Activists Are Planning an End-Run Around Your Rights!
Two bills are under consideration by Vermont’s Legislative Committee on Administrative Rules (LCAR) that will have a substantial impact on Vermonters’ hunting and trapping liberties.

NASA’s Climate Change Metrics Need Fixing
Americans love their lawns. Some clean-looking lawns resemble golf courses in the area and may be mowed more frequently than required, a sort of suburban therapy. Cows, cars, and tennis courts are among the targets of climate change agitators.
Carbon Dioxide, Hamburgers, and Fukushima Fish
China recently banned the importation of Japanese seafood, claiming current releases of decade-old wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear power plant threaten citizens’ health. US Ambassador to Japan Rahm Emmanuel was diplomatically dispatched to publicly eat Japanese fish to combat China’s claims.
What Would Dems do Without their Scapegoat in Chief?
The Democratic Party once upon a time claimed representation of the working class. More Americans are seeing that this reputation is long gone. Barack Obama bailed out Wall Street and backed Monsanto – the exact opposite of what he promised. Joe Biden-Brandon promised to be a uniter.
Masking Creates Toxic Health Impacts …
In the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, confusion surrounded many medical issues related to a scary, novel disease. Travel restraints, quarantines, mortality rates, treatment modalities, and a vortex of complex issues confronted an anxious American public told ubiquitous masks were a necessary prophylactic pending the arrival of a vaunted new vaccine to rescue humanity.
Ethical Dilemmas About Killing an Animal for Climate
California and other states (and many nations) have enacted laws to regulate “ethical” treatment of animals in agriculture. This trend accompanies modern jurisprudence shielding domestic pets and criminalizing animal cruelty. Advocates for animal welfare legislation, such as PETA, invoke claims of “animal rights” — but these same groups call for boycotts on products made from … Read more
Bill Gates Eyes ‘Friendly’ Mosquitos
Bill Gates extolls the potential benefits of genetically modified mosquitos in a recent blog. The clever technology may indeed prove beneficial, but Bill Gates has his fingers (and money) stuck in so many technological marvels that risks of error surely mount.
Wildfires and Climate Change: What the Alarmists Aren’t Doing – And What They Aren’t Telling Us.
As with all things environmental, climate alarmists conclude that current wildfires are more evidence of greenhouse gas warming. This must be clarified, as human activities other than driving cars or rearing cows impact these terrible disasters. Appropriate preventive policies are dependent on an accurate diagnosis of cause. The knee-jerk “the sky is falling” pathos furthers … Read more
Tennis Courts and the War in Ukraine: A Climatic Comparison
The tiresome trend of self-righteous climate activists gluing themselves to treasured works of art to “protest” against fossil fuels and anthropomorphic climate change recently extended to the US Open, where tennis was condemned via the gluing of footwear to the tarmac.
Meet the Doctor Who’s Fighting the COVID Oppression Machine
An unassuming 72-year-old Maine physician named Meryl Nass has gripped the COVID-19 misinformation bull by its poisoned horns. Maine’s physician licensing board suspended her from practicing in a blatant push to silence her right to free speech in a medical field in which Meryl holds special expertise.
The Extinction of Mid-Size American Farms Hurts You
The consolidation of smaller farms into sprawling industrial food-rearing facilities has been witnessed by a largely unaware or uncaring society. Americans rallied to save the bald eagle and the spotted owl but have mustered little more than a platitudinal Farm Aid concert to reverse the decimation of the nation’s food-producing backbone. However, failing to save … Read more
The Histrionic Follies of Volcano Deniers
Many Americans who are receptive to the possibility that human activities are warming the globe may invoke the motto of the Show Me State when asking alarmists to share what is never shown – evidence.
Social Justice Policing Replaces Law Enforcement
Many Americans are shocked by proposals to reduce police protection while opioid deaths skyrocket, borders are flung wide, and urban businesses are trashed and ransacked on national TV as political protests.
A Populist Slogan Obscures Bad Policy
In the aftermath of recent record flooding in Vermont, Republican Governor Phil Scott announced a state program to sell uplifting license plates, bearing the simple message “Vermont Strong” to affix to the front of vehicles. Vermonters soon will be able to purchase these plates to express solidarity and a rebuilding spirit. But does the messaging mask awful policy?
