Ruining The United States May Be Harder than It Looks
Trump and his cabinet members are doing everything in their power to turn this nation into an idiocracy, but they’re running into headwinds in the form of federal judges.
Americans Will Believe Anything
As shown here, our Secretary of War has a new way to sell the illegal and pointless war in Iran to the most ignorant people in America.
Predictably, the Pope is having none of this.
When Trump Will Leave
Obviously, James Carville has been wrong before, but it appears that he’s onto something here.
An ever-increasing number of Americans are realizing that Trump is criminally insane, and is leading this nation to destruction.
The Economics of Climate Change Mitigation
It’s a pleasure to see that Dr. Brian Cox has become so popular, having joined the ranks of Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Bill Nye, and a few others. This phenomenon of celebrity physicists is one of very few bright spots in our modern world.
I would qualify what he says at left as follows: the only people who hate the economics here are those invested in fossil fuels. Clean energy and transportation are already huge industries, and they’re growing at an amazing pace–even in the face of heavy suppression by Big Oil and Donald Trump.
Infringing on the Rights of Others
I agree with what Ricky Gervais says here; I would only add that there are dozens of ways religion impinges on others.
In my view, the most common is that it impedes our implementing science in things like climate change mitigation. If you believe, as is explicit in the Book of Genesis, that “only God can destroy the Earth,” you have a good excuse to ignore the entirety of climate science.

I’ve always wondered what this means. Christian Science? But if you reject science and hand your diseases over to Jesus, why would you need health coverage in the first place?

Opinions on Climate Change
There are tens of millions of Americans who believe that climate change is a hoax.
The United States population is about one-third composed of uneducated folks who will believe anything Trump and ultra-right-wing “news” agencies tell them. This is not limited to climate change, but also includes what RFK, Jr. says about vaccinations, and what Pete Hegseth says about starting and conducting pointless and illegal wars.
The other two-thirds has at least some level of education and trusts our scientists to help us navigate our way forward.
The point is that it doesn’t matter what any of us “believe” about science, whether that be climate-related, evolution, gravity, the shape of the earth, etc. One either understands physics, chemistry, and biology, or one doesn’t.

Could You Be Paid to Sow Disinformation into Our Society?
99% of this is totally incorrect.
But hey, who cares, right? There’s a huge market for disinformation, and I’m sure the author of the meme here was handsomely paid.

The Value of Solar and Wind Energy in Today’s World
In addition to the point made at left, human bodies aren’t being blown to bits in our fighting over energy that is available to us all, at no cost, from that big fusion reactor 93 million miles away from us.
Insulting U.S. Allies
The point made at left is an interesting one, but it raises the question: Would our NATO allies have participated in a useless and illegal war even if Trump hadn’t insulted, bullied, and threatened them with military invasion?
I doubt it.
