America and Social Democracy
Is this woman a real-live Australian? Apparently so, but does it matter?
What she’s saying is completely true.
All progressives want is the type of governance that is found in Europe and Scandinavia.
Voting By Mail
Here’s the latest in a series I call “Analogies from Hell.”
Apparently, until 53 years ago, a nine-year-old kid or a recently released murderer could buy a gun by mail, and Congress finally decided that this might not be a good idea. It’s possible they were mainly Democrats, but it’s hard to believe there wasn’t bipartisan support for the new law. Keep in mind the political zeitgeist in 1968; this was long before Republicans lost their minds.
Precisely what this has to do with voting remains to be seen. As shown below, all 50 states allow voting by mail (though seven require an excuse). As we’ve seen consistently through this torturous process called the Big Lie, there is very little voter fraud.
Trump: “Ask Me Anything”
I just got this, with the question: Would you join President Trump’s Social Media?
My favorite part of this is “Ask me anything.” I’m going for it.
Now that it’s been revealed that you tried to stage a coup to retain the presidency, how much time would you estimate will be required for treason charges to be filed?

And Now for Something Completely Idiotic
Here’s a survey on patriotism being sent around by the NSRC, the National Republican Senate Committee.
I would have thought that recognizing America’s shortcomings and trying to improve the nation in these areas is far more important than establishing one’s patriotism. (more…)

What Does Big Tech Censor?
Well, let’s put it like this: Big Tech censors disinformation. If you’re a person with conservative opinions and you’re publishing bull****, that’s fine. If you want to say the election was stolen, the Earth is flat, treat the pandemic with bleach, or the vaccination is deadly, that’s going to go away.
Thinking About Treason? Please Read Message Below
The meme here came from a reader. My response:
Well, that’s precisely what 600+ people attempted on January 6th. Trump told them, without evidence, that the election was stolen, and they had to “go down to the Capitol” and “fight like hell” to get their country back. That’s what they did. And now they’re being charged with everything from unlawful entry to vandalism, assault, battery, conspiracy, sedition, and treason. They’re going to prison. (more…)
Second Law of Thermodynamics
We often discuss the second law of thermodynamics here, as it’s the reason that perpetual motion machines are impossible. It’s why I summarily reject the business plan submissions I receive from frauds and/or crackpots. Anytime energy is transferred from one form to another, there are losses. Said differently, no process has 100% efficiency. (more…)
Take a Cool Guess—The Fun Quiz on Renewable Energy and Environmental Sustainability. Today’s Topic: Ouch! Watch Those Analogies!
Question: What are the two most obvious problems with the logic in the meme here?
Answer: Can be found at Clean Energy Answers.
Relevance: The logic used by anti-vaxxers isn’t too strong.
Of All 50 States, Mississippi Has Most COVID-19 Deaths Per Capita
Does it comes as a shock that Mississippi leads the union in COVID-19 deaths per capita?
In many ways, it’s the perfect storm: perennially last in healthcare overall, close to the bottom in education, ferociously anti-science, and second only to West Virginia for lowest vaccination rate.
It really couldn’t have turned out any other way.
Watch Out for Plant-Based Meats–Here’s Why
This is the first time I’ve come across the adjectival form of “Lucifer.” Usually it’s satanic, diabolical, or even Mephistophelian.
In any case, this is about as idiotic as it gets.
More on Rick Wiles here.
