Today’s Poser
How many “climate scientists”would give 20 years off of their lives if their global warming projections did not come true? 10 years? 5 years? Even 1 year?

The Truth
President Trump has been very effectively painted by the media as a serial liar (something like 13,000 lies since he took office) ... when, in fact, he is possibly the greatest truth-telling politician of our lifetimes. That is why he is president and has such adoring crowds. It is the media liars who refuse to recognize this truth (and his truths.)
Here are a few of Trump’s truths:
- American leaders have allowed China to steal us blind over the last 30 years
- The American economy could be a lot better
- The US needs to have the best military in the world
- Our judicial system too often creates laws, does not interpret laws
- Many European allies have stepped back and let the U.S. carry the majority of the responsibility for keeping the world safe
- The United States will never be a Socialist country
- Spending our treasure and the lives of our youth to “fix” other nations is foolish
- Global warming is a gigantic scam
- Washington is a swamp filled with too many self-serving and often dishonest bureaucrats
- Republican campaign colluding with Russia was a media/Deep State attempted cabal
- Russia under Putin is a bad actor ... but it can be useful in countering China and the radical Muslim threats
- Nations without borders are not nations
- Patriotism and respect for our flag is not a sin
- Much of our media dispenses “fake news” shaped by Liberal politics
- Immigration, even large immigration, is good only if controlled and selective
- Iran and North Korea are dangerous enemies and need to be put in a box
- There are a number of other despotic nation’s around the world which are not our friends but, nonetheless, need to be dealt with so that they don’t become our enemies
- Israel and Great Britain are our closest natural friends and need to be treated as such
- The UN is a very expensive, yet ineffective “world government”
- Liberal-run cities ate generally failing their citizens
- Blacks and Latinos have been ill-served by their Democrat masters
ENOUGH?

Settled Science
Einstein was a very bright fellow. He understood that science is never settled ... old theories will forever be replaced by newer, more informed ones. Therefore Galileo’s notion of gravity as a simple undiscriminating force of nature, later updated by Newton’s Law which included relative masses, could be debunked by calling it a “warp in the space-time continuum.” Sometime in the future, Einstein will be debunked by some upstart scientist ... an on and on into the indefinite future.
Is this wrong? Why can’t science be forever settled? Simple. Because we keep discovering new things. Darwin is being relegated to the dustbin of history by advances in DNA science. So is Freud by advances in brain science. And so will be other Nobel Prize winning scientist for as long as these Norwegians believe that we have found the ultimate answer to anything “scientific.” (Global warming?)
And this is not bad. It is the way science works ... and will continue to work. The thing that might worry me is what happens when scientists get it wrong. Did we really understand everything about nuclear fission before we tested that first A-bomb? I kind of doubt it ... but the best minds turned out to be right enough that we didn’t annihilate ourselves.
But there are many things about atomic energy production that we still don’t understand. Does this mean we should stop our quest for harnessing this fundamental energy source? Of course not! But we should insist that we not rush into (or away from) scientific conclusions based upon any uninformed political motivations.
Know what I mean?

A Few Observations
- If global warming is “settled science,” then all those climate alarmists should not need any more research grants
- All those blackouts now occurring in California are nothing but beta testing for the “Green New Deal.”
-The next time that the NBA plays a game in Red China ... are any players going to “take a knee” when the Chinese national anthem is being played?

Fever-Ridden?
We’re not warming folks ... we’re actually slightly cooling. When the effects of urban “heat islands” has been removed from NOAA’s measurements, the new data show that, since 2005, the United States-has actually gotten slightly cooler ... see: Commentary Magazine Comments.
If one accepts the fact that CO2 is the bogeyman, then this may be because of our continuing conversion from coal-powered electricity production to natural gas instead ... or maybe even due to some of the wind and solar stuff. But, for whatever reason, do not believe all those banner headlines ... they’re just scare-mongering.
The best data available now says that, at least here in America, we do not “have a fever.”

Trump’s Reality
American political divide today boils down, pretty much, to those willing to live in President Trump’s reality ... and those who refuse to do so. The dissonance often occurs in the way that Trump communicates his world view ... spiced with bravado and, sometimes, harsh invective. This style, frequently communicated via Twitter, rubs many the wrong way and, to resolve this discomfort, they reject his reality out of hand. Big mistake.
This rejection then compounds their foolishness ... because they are forced to grow more and more semantically convoluted in their inane rationales for their resistance. We are told Trump has lied 12,000 times ... so his reality must also be false. How are these many lies possible? Does he lie when he states his name or what he had for dinner? We are told he is a white supremacist when his popularity with blacks and Hispanics grows daily. We are told he is anti-semantic while his son-in-law and daughter are Orthodox Jews. We are told he is growing senile when his schedule would daunt a much younger man. All these accusations are part of the strained rejection of his reality.
Trump’s reality on immigration, world trade, American exceptionalism, Islamic terrorism, nuclear threats, global warming, race relations, etc. are a whole lot closer to middle-America’s psyche than his opposition. This is why many Democrat presidential candidates have staked out such extreme positions ... just to demonstrate how opposed they are to Trump’s views. Big mistake. They are out on a limb of their lack of policy reality ... and Trump has saw in hand.
Dubious Augury

- Colonization of Mars
- Artificial intelligence/robots controlling humans
- Nuclear-powered missiles
- Vegetarian “meat” replacing real meat
- Total elimination of nuclear and hydrocarbon-based power plants
- Nuclear fusion power generation
- Quantum computers
- Plastic products disappearing altogether
