Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
One of the things that maddens me about my children is how they refuse to take advantage of the cornucopia of information so readily available on the internet. In my day, I actually had to get out of my chair, go to my Dad’s office, get the encyclopedia off the
Continue readingChristmas is coming early this year. Several days ago, Trump appointed “one of the nation’s most prominent climate contrarians, Myron Ebel of the Competitive Enterprise Institute, to head his EPA transition.” Now, Fox News is reporting as its lead story this morning that Trump is “looking at ways for the

Whether or not you’ve seen the movie Sully, you’re probably asking yourself what the heck a movie about the “Miracle on the Hudson” has to do with climate change mania. Good question. Before I answer, though, this post is probably one giant spoiler, so if you haven’t read https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0061924695/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=bookwormroom-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=0061924695&linkId=bc99de85539dae5478f4f7b8fda2d590 or

The American media suddenly discovers antisemitism in America. You know it’s not a coincidence when several mainstream media outlets that every non-conservative Jew reads suddenly announce that Donald Trump’s supporters are crazed antisemites. These are, of course, the same media outlets that have been silent for years about the antisemitism at

I recently spoke with a couple of political disinterested legal pot growers. What surprised me was their utter disdain for the whole “CO2 causes anthropogenic climate change” theory. They’d reached that point by dint of their experience as growers. It turns out that indoor pot growing is harder than it

True confession: I didn’t watch the convention last night. Mr. Bookworm, whose politics don’t align with mine, got to the TV first. I did read about it, however, and I came away with the impression that it was a blessing that so many turncoat GOP operatives stayed away. Frankly, operatives

Now that we’re the Banana Republic of America, I think it’s time for the #NeverTrump crowd to have a little “Come To Jesus” talk to determine whether they want Hillary the Untouchable, and her entire Leftist panoply of friends and goals, in the White House, or whether they’re willing to

I’m not a Trump voter; I’m a #NeverHillary voter. However, I’d much prefer to vote for someone than against someone else. Voting is more fulfilling as an affirmative act than as a negative one. So, I look for those moments when Trump says something that makes me think “Yes!” Well, Mr. Trump did

Kudos to Nicholas Kristof for writing an opinion piece at the New York Times acknowledging what we all know to be true, which is that self-styled “liberals” are extremely intolerant, which means that they’re not actually liberal at all: Universities are the bedrock of progressive values, but the one kind

I’m back, and still playing beat the clock when I blog, so let me get right down to business: Just one thing about Target’s preexisting open bathroom policy. You may not have known about Target’s long-standing open-access bathroom policy (all gender identities welcome wherever they want), but it appears that
Continue readingThis is a brilliant video. I can’t recommend it highly enough. The only quarrel I would have is when Alex Epstein agrees that fossil fuel contributes to global warming. I won’t even concede that. Anyone, watch this video and share it. Whoever watches it will be smarter for having seen

IFLScience has enough interesting actual science posts that I subscribe to it on Facebook despite the hard Leftism that infuses its worldview. This Leftism is especially apparent when the subject is climate change. IFLScience treats as gospel the fact that human activity is destroying the earth by making it too

Yes, it’s tax day, and what better day could there be to talk about all the distressing, expensive, and scary foolishness in the world? Ripping off taxpayers with climate change craziness. Today has been a “suffer the climate change” day for me, so it’s appropriate to open with a riff

It’s five o’clock and I’m only now sitting down at my computer, which is very unusual for me, because I usually hit my computer first thing in the morning. The reason for the endless delay is that I was assisting someone who couldn’t believe that, despite doing all the right

I’ve made a few changes and interlineations: A Message from the California Public Utilities Commission This month* your utility bill will include a credit identified as the “California Climate Credit.” Your household and millions of others throughout the state will receive this credit on
