A Modest Proposal
If we can teach our children about cross dressing, sex toys, Socialism, the evils of carbon, critical race theory and a host of the other cockamamie ideas … why can’t we rather spend more time teaching them arithmetic, cursive writing, reading, financial management and how to be good parents?
STAND UP FOR CHILDREN!
I, Skeptic (Updated)
There are a number of environmental assumptions that we are currently living under … of which I am a serious skeptic.
- Carbon dioxide is a air pollutant
- The world supply of petroleum and natural gas will soon run out
- Electric vehicles will replace gasoline vehicles by 2035
- Electric planes will replace jet planes
- Nuclear-generated electric power is very dangerous
- There are now more droughts than in history
-The world will soon be immersed in famine
- The Earth is going to burn up in less than ten years
- We are having more hurricanes which are also more severe
- The oceans will soon overtop many islands and even countries
- Solar panels and wind turbines can supply all our energy needs
- Hydroelectric dams need to be removed to save spawning fish
- More extreme temperature are occurring than ever before
- Migrants are on the move because of climate change
- We can measure the temperature of the Earth over an entire year within a fraction of a degree
- Polar bears are drowning due to lack of ice floes
I sincerely doubt if more than one or two of these woke predictions will turn out to be so.

I think I’ve made this comparison before … but the current energy crisis in Europe has crystallized this observation -- we should have learned from our Prohibition debacle that mandating virtue doesn’t always work as planned. To me, the same applies to the goody-goody green agenda.
Will we never learn?

You’re Fired!
Before his election for president, Donald Trump promised to clean up “the swamp.’ After he was elected, possibly his biggest failing was that he really didn’t do so. He had plenty of practice on “The Apprentice” saying “You’re fired!” Had he only used these words a few dozen times, he might not have had such a herd of mavericks.

Google does a lot of things: searching, internet browsing, blogging, maps, directions, emailing, app downloading, etc. … some of them poorly, yet with dominant market share. Talk to most of its users and you will find them “sullen but not rebellious.”
But, pilgrim, Google’s biggest monopoly is its search engine … which, I would argue, is it’s worst technology ... I think as a result of not focusing on a diversity of results and pushing its own agenda … user tracking … and selling its products.
For instance, if you are doing an image search for which a book or movie has been named, your results are overwhelmed by them. And try to find anything from a few years ago …
And don’t get me started on its buggy blog software.

Kindergarten Stuff
The tntics employed by the DOJ and FBI surrounding the Mar-a-Laro raid are so obvious …friendly court shopping, FBI vacuuming up any and all documents, redacting unfavorable information from the affidavit, syncopated media leaks, staged photos, whistleblower intimidation, obvious lies and tight control of a squishy narrative … all leads me to conclude Pilgrim that this melodrama is yet another attempt to take Trump out.
And, I must conclude that thse extraordinary eefforts extended by these swamp creatures must reflect the degree of damage that they feel is looming … and thus are preamble to a Trump indictment.
Anyone who has been hooked by this obvious hoax must have not yet graduated from kindergarten … or been in a coma for the last seven years.
