Recently:

• YouTube censored a panel on health care. The tech giant didn’t like what panelists were saying about COVID-19 preventatives. The participants during the discussion – which was moderated by Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis – presented largely technical information to the audience.

• A track coach from a high school in New England was fired because he refused to make his players wear masks during practice. School officials had insisted that students wear the masks at all times to – against the prevailing science (which was later confirmed by the coach) – combat the Corona Virus.

• Major League Baseball (MLB) decided to move this year’s All-Star game from a city that is nearly half-Black (Atlanta) to a city that is almost all white (Denver) under the misapprehension that a recently passed Georgia law would make elections less accessible. Guess Black lives don’t matter after all.

• Longtime host of television’s “The Bachelor”, Chris Hanson, was accused of being a racist and forced to leave the show after defending contestant Rachael Kirkconnell’s attendance years ago at an Old South “antebellum”… Read More

Some 20 years ago, I got deeply involved in a political group. I recruited experienced political operatives and we started to build an operation that no one believed could be done. Then things started to go sideways because we were beholden to a national board made up of affluent contributors who knew little about grassroots organizing or political realities. These successful people assumed their business acumen would naturally transfer to the political area. They were mistaken.

That thinking has metastasized across our society. It is most readily evidenced by the computer geeks who ended up running the largest corporations in America. If it were not for them being worth billions of dollars and the fact that our press is largely composed of dysfunctional idiots, we would laugh these yutzes off the public stage. The worst of the lot is Bill Gates who started a foundation, reads ridiculously complicated books, and then comes to similar conclusions as does the world’s biggest human void, AOC. Gates may be smarter, but he has no more wisdom than that woman-child.

The most recent manifestation of this dangerously ignorant executive came in the state of Georgia. We… Read More

Here’s the headline from a March 28, 2021 “woke”SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE“Watchdog” article:

The Color of Authority: San Diego police, sheriff’s deputies disproportionately target minorities, data show

The only problem?The article’s own charts put the lie to the headline. And yet the U-T reporters and head editor Jeff Light STILL tout the article as true. They even sent me emails… Read More

While Joe Biden has only been in office roughly two months, we have an inordinate amount of material with which to analyze our new President. We all know that the Democrats like to characterize everything that was done by his predecessor as wrong and everything he said as lies. All those charges pale in comparison to the fact we have never had a more deceitful President than we have in Mr. Biden.

Let us start with the big picture. President Biden told America that he was equipped to be president and that he was a moderate during the campaign. Politically he was the “non-Bernie Sanders.” Nothing could be further from the truth. It is quite obvious that he is not up to the challenge of the Presidency either mentally or physically. This was somewhat self-evident during the campaign but has become painfully evident since. He is a part-time President with a meager schedule.

Here is a telling fact. Presidents receive a daily briefing on security affairs. Bush, Obama and Trump got them early in the day – many times before 8 a.m. Biden typically gets his at 10 a.m. or later. I saw the other day he received one at 9:30 and it stuck out as unusual. This guy does… Read More

Below is a chart, summarizing the average per kWh cost of electricity. It’s the January, 2021 figures. It’s not good news for “renewable power” obsessed California.

It compares usage categories for CA vs. the national average — an average that INCLUDES California. I run this comparison periodically. I last ran this comparison in about December, 2019. The disparity in cost for CA has only gotten worse since then. Especially for residential use.

Our sky high “industrial” rates — more than DOUBLE the national average, — are doubtless a significant factor why manufactures and other heavy power users (such at Internet server farms) are leaving the Golden State.

We’ve learned that President Joe Biden likes spending money. He must have developed an affection for it during his days in Congress where there is an insatiable appetite for spending money the federal government doesn’t have.

After little more than two months on the job Biden is edging toward committing the country to a mind-numbing $6 trillion in spending. If he stops now (unlikely) the federal debt will exceed $28 trillion. That means you, your spouse, your kids, all your kids’ friends and their parents – everyone in the nation – will ultimately owe the federal government over $85,000, each.

The President’s latest spending plan – which costs more than FDR’s New Deal and LBJ’s War on Poverty, combined – includes funding for, among other things: capping and cleaning up well heads; forming a civilian climate corps to combat global warming; creating “green” infrastructure, including replacing fossil-fuel technologies with those producing electric energy; ending state “right to work” laws; and providing other myriad green subsidies.

The advertised principal expenditure of the plan is infrastructure – which to most people… Read More

I was taken aback by the positive reaction by many members of the Press who were excited when the Biden Administration announced they were going to resume daily press briefings. Why would they want to listen to a hand-picked flack disgorging half-baked answers about subjects on which they are barely enlightened?

Say what you will about President Trump; he was ever accessible to the Press. He took on every question from the WH press corps and only left when he was being rushed off to do other presidential matters. Many in the Press asked him snarky questions because of their defined distaste for him, but at least they were getting answers directly from the elected President. It was hoped that Trump had redefined access to our elected officials and transparency from our government.

It seems like with this President who refuses to engage the Press unless in highly scripted manner that we really have President Psaki. Except she spends most her time obfuscating. Here is a hint on life: when a politician comes into office and talks about how transparent their administration is going to be, bet the house that it will be the exact opposite.

President Psaki is… Read More

If someone got a map of California and overlaid the state’s high-risk wildfire severity zones one would have an outline of all developable land in California. In other words, the state’s entire inventory of developable land is one big high-risk wildfire severity zone.

Let’s face it, most of California is a desert. Excluding the areas in and around the heavily wooded forests of the northern state, Californians dwell in either farm land or are urban dwellers – and mostly the latter. Indeed, less than six percent of the land area is populated by humans.

So, lawsuits against two developments in wildfire zones in San Diego County (“the County”) are, taken together, litigation against all development across California and are profoundly anti-growth.

This fact didn’t stop state Attorney General Xavier Bercerra. Earlier this month – as one of his last official acts as AG (last week Bercerra was confirmed by the Senate as President Biden’s Secretary of Health and Human Services) – he joined in the lawsuits, siding with the plaintiffs, on behalf of California.

While we Californians are primarily city folk, we have over the last 150… Read More
