What this gentleman said at the left here is exactly correct. We have far more concern for the welfare of dogs than we do for that of nearly 70,000 Hispanic children, living in filth at U.S. detention centers along our southern border.
It’s time to face the fact that the United States has descended into the darkness of one of the most cruel and vile nations on Earth.
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison has filed suit against fossil fuel organizations ExxonMobil, Koch Industries and the American Petroleum Institute. Minnesota joins at least 15 other plaintiffs, including attorneys general in Massachusetts, New York and Rhode Island, who have brought similar lawsuits on the basis that the defendants allegedly defrauded consumers by covering up the effects of climate change.

Trump’s criminal neglect of Americans’ health and safety vis-a-vis COVID-19 has gotten most of the news over the last few months, but what happens at the state level of government should not be ignored.
At left is the result of Republican governor of Florida Ron Desantis’s decision to re-open beaches and non-essential businesses at the horror of the public health community. (more…)
The damage the Trump administration has done to this country is going to take decades to repair, if it can be done at all.
What will happen before our president leaves office? Well, the current plan is to kick 20 million people off healthcare by asking the Supreme Court to overturn Obamacare. If your goal is inflicting suffering, this is a particularly strong idea, as we’re in the middle of a pandemic (that could have been largely mitigated). Who needs healthcare when a record-setting 40,000 new cases of COVID-19 were reported yesterday alone?
A reader sent me this video, in which an ostensible expert in equities trading raves about the merits of purchasing stock in Hyliion, a start-up that claims that future sales of its electric drivetrain for Class 8 trucks is going to set the world on fire.
Craig: Thanks very much for this, but based on my understanding of this market, I’m not a believer. I was a consultant to a company called Efficient Drivetrains Inc. before it was sold to Cummins, and I saw how these people, with fantastic IP, struggled to find OEM and end-user customers. (more…)
Though not a religious person myself, I respect those who use their faith as a springboard to lead more meaningful and virtuous lives. For Christians, at least the kind I associate myself with, that means emulating the life of Christ and the adoption of His values–and this is unequivocally a good thing. Such a life calls for taking care of those less fortunate, mercy, forgiveness, compassion, and trying to find the best in one another, while protecting our environment and the life forms that share our planet.

Here’s what the inventor of a new wind turbine tells us in the video below:
He’s standing in a wind speed of 3 – 4 mph (let’s call it 3.5).
The device is 16′ high, and the blades start at 4′ of the ground; the blades are 4′ in diameter, meaning that the swept area (4 *12 = 48 feet²) (more…)
Stephen Colbert makes an excellent point here. There are 14% of American voters, one out of every seven, on the fence in the coming election. You lived in the United States these last 3.5 years and you’re not sure if you want a continuation or a change?
Who are you? Please tell us about your thoughts and experiences.
My friend Forbes Black writes, “This is why we can’t have nice things.”
Seriously. There is a reason that, for instance, New Zealand has been successful in beating COVID-19 into a pulp, and the pandemic continues to spin out of control here in the U.S., but does it seem likely that it’s because God favors the Kiwis over us Americans? (more…)
As a follow up to Trump’s famous: “What You’re Seeing and What You’re Reading Is Not What’s Happening,” we have this from The Hill:
Asked about why President Trump has lashed out at his former Cabinet members, calling some “incompetent” and “dumb as a rock,” White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said it’s because Trump likes to hire people with opposing viewpoints: “He likes the model of having a ‘team of rivals’ like what we saw in President Lincoln’s administration,. I’ve been a part of that. I often see rigorous debate and the president uses his gut and makes the best decision how to move forward.” (more…)
