Setting Our Priorities
Are there drag queens in our schools? If so, is this a major threat to our kids, in a country that is run by a criminal sociopath?

Man Shot Dead an Armed Intruder into His Florida House Won’t Be Charged– Is This an Exceptional Case?
Is Florida a special place? Do we need a unique state law to vindicate someone under these circumstances?
There isn’t a DA anywhere in the U.S who would charge this guy, nor a jury anyplace on earth that would convict him.
How Did the “Entire World” Allow Trump to Stay in Power?
There’s a certain irony to the meme here.
It’s not the responsibility of anyone but the United States to remove Trump.
In fact, it would be a war crime of the same type that we’re inflicting on Iran for a foreign entity to attack a sovereign nation, simply because they don’t like what’s going on there.
How Much Energy Is Required to Build a Wind Turbine?
I was shocked (not really) to learn that people are being paid to create and post memes that troll the renewable energy industry, even if they have no basis in fact. What we have at left is a great example.
Wind energy has a high Energy Return on Investment (EROI), generally ranging from 15:1 to over 50:1 for modern turbines, meaning they return 15 to 50 times more energy than is used to manufacture, install, and operate them. Onshore wind typically provides higher returns (17–40+) compared to offshore (12–20), with energy payback times often under one year.

Is Coal the Fuel of the 21st Century?
From Frontieras North America:Over a century ago, John D. Rockefeller transformed oil into one of the world’s most valuable industries. Now, thousands of investors believe something similar could be happening with coal.
Frontieras North America has developed patented technology that refines coal into fuels and materials like diesel, jet fuel, hydrogen, and fertilizer, serving markets worth $2.1 Trillion globally.
With a Nasdaq ticker (FASF) reserved and land secured in West Virginia for its $850M flagship facility, Frontieras is inviting investors to participate while the company remains private. Shares are currently $7.77 until April 9.
It’s true that John D. Rockefeller became one of the wealthiest people in world history via the petroleum boom a century ago.
Now, if it’s true that “thousands of investors believe something similar could be happening with coal,” they’re some extremely stupid people.
Fossil fuels did humankind a great service in the 20th Century, but now, a few things have changed, chiefly: a) our recognition that their consumption is rapidly destroying our planet’s environment, and b) the development of inexpensive low-carbon sources of energy.
Of all the fossil fuels, coal is unarguably the worst, with its high greenhouse gas emissions, its heavy metals (mercury, cadmium, selenium, lead, and arsenic), and its vast array of toxic radioactive isotopes.
If you want to lose a fortune and put the demise of the planet on steroids, this may be for you.

Generals and Admirals Are Leaving, But Not Quietly
With all the bloodletting at the top of the U.S. military, it’s become clear why our Secretary of War is firing our top generals and admirals: they refuse to follow orders that are essentially war crimes, in particular, war crimes that are bound to result in the deaths of American soldiers.
Yes, this man sounded the alarm as he stepped down, but I find this anticlimactic.
I was hoping for something with the drama of “Mutiny on the Bounty,” where Fletcher Christian informs Captain Bligh, “You’ve given your last order on this ship!” while thrusting his cutlass through the bastard’s left tricep.
Another thing that makes this less than satisfying is the sad fact that men of integrity and intelligence who have spent decades of their lives honorably defending our nation will be replaced by spineless wimps, specially chosen to carry out these illegal orders.

America’s Economic Future
For some reason, economists aren’t horribly bearish on the U.S. position in global trade.
I’d love to know how that’s possible, given what’s being said here, i.e. that every major nation on Earth is busily removing the United States from their financial dealings.
Trump: Somali-Americans Are Bad People
This is what we voted for; it’s what carried the day in 2024.
Twenty years ago, you wouldn’t have been able to get one out of ten Americans to agree to such a blatantly racist and hateful statement.
Patriotism
Among the many tragic features of modern-day America is the cooption of the word “patriot.”
When we boomers were growing up, love of our country was a good thing, especially if that could be broadened to including understanding its faults and making efforts to improve on them.
Now, it’s essentially the support of a criminally insane and thoroughly corrupt president.
Paranoia Strikes Deep
It’s pathetic that the common American pays to have his financial documents shredded.
Unless your records suggest that you’ve raped little girls on Epstein’s island, what’s the problem with putting them out into the trash to be landfilled?
It pains me to see old people depleting their precious savings because of the scare tactic that some rando is going through their garbage so as to steal their identity.
