Biden Ducks


There were a number of questions that Chris Wallace didn’t ask in the first presidential debate ... or were asked by Trump ... but Biden either ducked or refused to answer. Wouldn’t it be nice if the next two debates filled in this key information void for American voters? But knowing the moderators and venues in these next debates, I don’t believe we will get these questions answered. Here are the Biden posers we voters need to have answered:

- Who, by name, would you appoint to the Supreme Court?

- Do you advocate packing the Supreme Court?

- Have you used a teleprompter is any of your pressers?

- If unsolicited mail-in voting is shown to be fraudulent, will you condemn it?

- Would you push to scuttle the Electoral Collage?

- Were you aware of and participated in Operation Crossfire Hurricane?

- Would you like to eliminate the filibuster in the Senate?

- Why did your son, Hunter get $3.5 million from the wife of the former mayor of Moscow?

- Will you implement AOC’s Green New Deal in its entirety?

- Are you taking any prescription medications to enhance your mental acuity?

- Do you advocate statehood for Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia?

- Will you now denounce Antifa and BLM anarchy?

- Are you prepared to shut down the economy again?

- Will you take the Covid vaccine when it is passed by the FDA?

- Would you eliminate tariffs on China ... and elsewhere?


Just for starters ... more than enough to investigate in three more hours of debate. ... or in future pressers. And, if one were honest, there are not many such embarrassing questions that have not been asked of  the Orangeman.

Afterthought: Chris Wallace is certainly sharp enough to have pressed Biden on a few of the above questions? What does the fact that he didn’t suggest about Wallace?

Air Pollution


There is, kind reader, an upside to our coronavirus lockdown ... a 30% drop in air pollution ... due to much less car and airline travel, more government oversight ... see: Watts Up With That article. Pay particular attention to the two included maps.

So, we are experiencing an object lesson in what the lifestyle trade-offs would be under the Green New Deal (actually it would be more drastic). If you liked your life during the last month, then vote for those supporters of this fundamental change to our social order. If not, don’t!

Little Blue Marble


Egomania is a term used to describe one who is totally absorbed with oneself.

For this blog post I have invented “anthromania,” a term using the Greek word for mankind, to describe our often illogical insistence that we humans can insure our existence by totally controlling our environment. Does anyone with a brain believe we can survive for the next hundred years without burning some hydrocarbons ... even if we have to melt our frozen poles in doing so? You too AOC and Greta ...

This notion that humans are the masters of the universe is biblical in its origin and continually reinforced by our remarkable scientific discoveries. However, Mother Nature allows us to persist in this anthromania until she decides to destroy an island with a hurricane unleashing the energy of a hundred hydrogen bombs ... just to remind us who is boss.

I know people like Elon Musk have imagined us inhabiting other planets before we destroy our own spaceship Earth. (I, myself, do not think this outcome is that pressing.) But, when one realizes the quality of life that would exist on these alien planets ... like a fish out of water ... the appeal seems only to be one of survival. For myself, I am just as happy to (hopefully) spend my remaining time on our little blue marble.

When we are gathered around the turkey and cranberry sauce soon, we all should give thanks:

- That Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has decided she doesn’t want to have any children

- For the cold winters in Boston that keeps this city from becoming another Los Angeles for those defecating homeless

- For those Hong Kong protesters who are teaching our American youth the meaning of freedom

- That a political consultant convinced Hillary that she didn’t have to campaign in Wisconsin

- For the Army Corps of Engineers who are building that beautiful Mexican wall

- For that Belgian shepard dog, Conan, which convinced Al-Baghdadi to blow himself up

- That Elizabeth Warren has called for Medicare for All and a wealth tax to pay for it

- That Beto O’Rourke and Bill De Blasio quickly hit the upper limits of their competence

- For President Trump’s internal fortitude

- For America’s crude oil fracking industry that has made us energy independent
