Abuse of Power

There have been very few periods in recent American history when the party in power has not grievously abused that power. ... FDR, LBJ, RMN, WJC, GWB, BHO.  At the moment, likely because he has been distracted by his attempts to reverse the previous administration’s carry-over despotism, we are enjoying a relative autocratic lull. The real measure of his presidency will be how well Trump behaves once he has effectively drained the swamp that has been, until now, tirelessly working to take him down.

Saving Face

It is becoming increasingly clear that, not only is global warming not the bugbear that many have made it out to be, but that we may in fact be entering a period of global cooling ... see: The End to the End of Winter. Virtually every dire forecast that was made by the climate alarmists has failed to transpire ... even many years after they were supposed to occur. Their computer models are so far off the mark that they are worthless ... perhaps because the data they used was fudged to try to make their point. The result is that their drum beating is increasingly being ignored by the people of the world. The support for the Paris Accord came mainly from those countries which were destined to garner financial benefit from this wealth distribution red herring.

Even the semantic shift to "climate change" and "extreme weather" has not convinced many that we are on the brink of a carbon dioxide Armageddon. So what is to happen to all the Chicken Littles who  have been trying to panic the rest of us into massive environmental and economic adjustments ... will they be shamed into the shadows? Perhaps we should find a way of allowing them.... Al Gore, Hillary, many in the British royal family, BHO, Angela Merkel, Emanuel Macron, tree huggers around the world, most of the U.N., and 97% of climate scientists ... to save face? Should we allow them to back away gracefully from many of their outlandish claims?

Nah!
