OMG, this meme carries the precise discussion my wife and I had over breakfast this morning:

Craig: It’s raining (feces) down on Trump right now.  The end of all this insanity has to be very, very close.

Becky: It’s been raining (feces) down on Trump since before he took office.  He never quits, and his support never wanes.

Craig: We have to be very near the point when Congressional Republicans find all this untenable, and they turn on him.  Mind you, it will have absolutely nothing to do with love of country; if it did, he’d have been gone long ago.  It will be because they just can’t go on cementing a legacy for themselves as abetting a traitor.

The meme here is from a reader who sees fit to challenge the findings of the climate science community, and suggests that it is obviously variations in solar irradiance that govern the Earth’s climate.  (She was a fine arts major in college, FWIW).

I guess the 11,000 scientists who, just yesterday, warned us that we face a “climate emergency” never considered the sun could be a factor.  Silly, silly people.

History will regard the shocking results of the 2019 (off-year) elections in which Republicans lost control of states that had been theirs for decades as a watershed event.  As we sit in wonder as to what happened, let’s consider this:

We Americans have our faults.  (more…)

Here’s a story about Stanley Meyers’ water injector. “Stan advanced this technology all the way to water injectors which could convert any car to run on just water.  Unfortunately the same day the multi million dollar contract was signed to start building manufacturing facilities Stan was murdered. This technology was never released and so far has not been duplicated.” (more…)

For those wanting a smile, here’s a Twitter exchange begun by Ann Coulter that might do the trick.

On a serious note, the fact that traditional fire-engine-red states are turning against the Republican Party at such a wonderfully alarming rate really does seem to be changing the tenor of American politics, perhaps setting the stage for something truly marvelous.

I may have mentioned that I tutor at the local high school in Santa Barbara County, home of 2GreenEnergy “headquarters,” which gives me ample opportunity to speak with teachers.

Unlike the city of Santa Barbara, our little town (Santa Ynez) is actually very “God and Country,” very “red,” so to speak: lots of guns, flags, and pick-up trucks.  I recently asked the teacher of one of the kids I work with, “Given the conservative nature of the locals, I’m curious to know how the faculty here feels about Trump.
