I hope you’ll take a few minutes of your day and check out this fine piece that presents what each president since Jimmy Carter said and did for the country in tragic times.
Powerful stuff.
My mom and I engaged in yet another enjoyable and mutually respectful political discussion the other evening. As usual, neither one of us succeeded in changing the other’s belief system one iota, but that’s not the point; it’s always fun nonetheless. During our talk, Mom asserted that Democrats perceive that the only way for them to come into and stay in power is to get as many needy people into the country as possible, promise them free stuff, and thus attract their votes.

Someone wrote: Ann Coulter went on an early Sunday morning Twitter tear, calling President Donald Trump “the most disloyal actual retard that has ever set foot in the Oval Office.”….never in my wildest dreams did I think I would agree with her….ever…but look.
Such a good point. In the last five years I’ve found myself rooting for James Comey, Robert Mueller, Rex Tillerson, and a few U.S. Army Generals. Sure didn’t see that coming.
Back to Ann Coulter, this is both hilarious and extremely encouraging. How often does one encounter those two joys at the same time?
Trump’s efforts to divide the nation have been incredibly successful, and they’ve brought about all-too-predictable consequences. One, of course, is the empowerment of white supremacists and the threat these dolts represent to everyday Americans. Fifteen years ago we lived in fear of al Qaeda. Five years ago it was ISIS. Now it’s a bunch of hateful morons in white hoods and robes, carrying confederate flags, and packing AR-15s.

This guy is offering for sale: All in one solution, solar freezer, solar tv, solar cooker and solar fan.
Is he saying that he can power appliances with solar energy? Didn’t we already know that?
I did a live television show in New York City years ago where the first question out of the interviewer’s mouth was, “OK, Craig, so what can we do with renewable energy?” To which I replied, as politely as I possibly could, “Anything you can do with energy from traditional sources. Your toaster doesn’t care where those electrons come from.”
If you want a powerful experience, read (or at least skim) through this speech to the very end.
It sure does seem like the world is coming crashing down around the U.S. president:
Washington (CNN) Retired Adm. William McRaven said Thursday that the US is under attack from President Donald Trump, who he believes is working to “destroy” the country from “within” and “without.”
Here’s a fabulous article that analyzes four semi-distinct phases of renewable energy adoption, each of which is a function of the plummeting costs of solar and wind, each of which comes about for a different reason. (more…)
There is some controversy as to whether actor/director Ron Howard actually wrote this or not. In any case, Howard actually is a liberal, and this is worth a read. FWIW, I don’t disagree with a single word here. – Craig

Here’s an article in Forbes that examines why the quality of our air is eroding.
The main irony of rolling back legislation like The Clean Air Act is that these laws were actually good for the economy, lowering healthcare costs and improving worker productivity.
Now they’re eviscerated, if not gone altogether.
Maybe they can be turned around in November.
