About Trump …
Everything the author wrote at left is true, but there’s one thing he missed: about half of American voters either a) don’t care, or b) think that it’s only the “radical left scum” that’s characterizing Trump this way.

Feeling Others’ Pain
This seems to be one of the great, eternal truths of humankind.
Yet it seems that certain societies on planet Earth are doing a better job here than others.
The United States, for example, seems torn. Are those of us who care about others’ well-being really “radical leftist scum,” as our president said on Memorial Day?
Wouldn’t our entire nation be a better place to live if everyone had access to healthcare and a quality education? Wouldn’t it be nice if our country could lead the way towards environmental sustainability?
Oil and Gas Investment Seems Attractive, But Is it Credible?
I ran across a solicitation for investors to join a certain company that is promising a return of 1.19% daily, or (1.0119)^365 per year, = 7503% = 75.03 times your investment. $20K becomes more than $1.5 million a year later.
Hmmm. I don’t know much about criminal law, in this case fraud, but aren’t the purveyors of this investment going to wind up in prison?

Sorry, But We Won’t Be Burying the Hatchet
I’d like to believe there is a good chance that the scenario to the left could become reality, but I really don’t see it.
The rank-and-file Trump supporter is quite dug into the idea that the president is here to make American great again, and if for any reason Trump is unsuccessful, the only possible reason is the treason of the “radical left scum.”

Thermodynamics
The folks who created the meme at left think we don’t know too much about science.
The video below is a great diversion for people who want an enchanting and humous look at the subject of thermodynamics.

Trump’s Horrifying Battle with Harvard University
Two comments on the White House press secretary’s comment on Fox News:
1) Does she think that the common American, even the garden-variety Fox News viewer, is stupid enough to believe that Harvard has “LGBTQ graduate majors?”
2) Does anyone give a s*** what “this administration’s position is?” Have these people ever heard of freedom? No one can tell us what to do with our lives. This is something we all learned in elementary school, and it’s worth knowing; it’s the main difference between the U.S. and North Korea.

Rejecting Kings Since 1776
I don’t wear shirts with elements of my political philosophies printed on them, because they’re likely to provoke arguments with Trump supporters, which I wish to avoid.
Having said that, the shirt at left is pretty cool, IMO.

Take a Cool Guess—The Fun Quiz on Renewable Energy and Environmental Sustainability. Today’s Topic: Import/Export of Food Products
Question: As shown at left, the advent of Trumpism has made “experts” out of people who know essentially nothing about certain subjects.
The U.S. has a completely workable relationship with China when it comes to the import/export of food. Is there something specific about it that you find objectionable?
Can you tell me what foods we import? Which we export? Why?
Answer: Can be found at Clean Energy Answers.
Dead Leaves Can Be Used to Make Paper
These people write: At just 23, Ukrainian inventor Valentyn Frechka created a way to make paper from fallen leaves without cutting down a single tree. One leaf at a time, he’s changing the paper industry.
Is there anything physically impossible about what this young man is doing, i.e., using fallen leaves to make paper? No.
But is he changing the world paper industry “one leaf at a time?” Of course not.
He’s shown here hefting a small cardboard box of dead leaves in an effort to show that he’s going to make a material difference in the world paper market, now at 401 million tons annually.
I love the fellow’s enthusiasm, but sorry.

Where We Stand on Climate Change
We need to acknowledge that we live in a country in which most people are scientifically illiterate. That’s just a sad consequence of living in a nation in which public education is being systematically destroyed.
Where we need to draw the line is electing lawmakers who aggressively reject science, or know precisely nothing about it. If you’re a distributor of plumbing supplies, no one’s going to be hurt regardless of how little you learned in fifth-grade.
The same can’t be said about our legislators.
