Vance for U.S. President?
Vance has certain qualifications that appeal to the MAGA crowd, e.g., his seething racist hatred, dishonesty, cruelty, anti-science, anti-woke, anti-human rights, anti-education, and anti-environmental responsibility. Whether he’ll be as appealing as Trump to the amoral billionaires remains to be seen. …
The Heritage Foundation Faces a Limit as to How Much Damage It Can Inflict on Earth’s Environment
The abolition of NOAA will put an end to the flow of weather-related information that helps to protect Americans’ lives and property from natural disasters like hurricanes. If the Heritage Foundation, as a representative of the extreme right-wing in the …

Social media was certainly a big factor in beginning and expanding the anti-science “movement,” if you will. But the election of Donald Trump had even more impact. All at once we found ourselves in a world in which the concept …
Are These Republicans Insane?
IMO, there is no reason to believe that DeSantis is mentally ill. He’s simply aiming himself for success in the sad state of current-day Republican politics, based as it is on anti-vax, anti-science, and citizens’ right to do as they …
Anti-Science Is Uniquely American
As if it doesn’t go without saying, an electrician’s or real estate broker’s “doing his research” on virology is a farce. The very idea is simply an example of how far we’ve fallen as a society. Do those untrained in …
