<\/a>Gun Rights<\/h1>\n
\nWomen from across the country, representing all 50 states, traveled to the nation’s capital last Monday to spend the week meeting with legislators to discuss firearms, self-defense, and cumbersome gun control laws.<\/p>\n
\nThe headline says it all, doesn’t it? Another day, another batch of conservatives demonetized by Google-owned-and-operated YouTube. Twitter is taking sides again, too, but we’ll get to that in a moment.<\/p>\n<\/a>Hide the Decline<\/h1>\n
Environment &
\n“Green Energy”<\/h2>\n
\nLast week, Saikat Chakrabarti, chief of staff to Green New Deal architect Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), admitted that his boss’s key piece of legislation didn’t start out as a climate change initiative at all. The Green New Deal would fundamentally transform America’s economy \u2014 and AOC has never suggested otherwise. But it appears the “New Deal” part predates the “Green” part.<\/p>\n
\nWe visited a wind farm in southern Utah recently. I’ve always been curious about the costs, profitability, and physical size of these things as well as the footprint and environmental impact. I had 3 meetings with the man in charge of maintenance of the wind farm, a landowner who leases land accommodating 4 of the turbines, and a man who works in the industry in Colorado – and did some internet\/newspaper research.<\/p>\n<\/a>Obamacare<\/h1>\n
Government in Healthcare<\/h2>\n
\nMedicare questions you never asked (because there are things no one ever told you about). Don’t you hate it when you buy something and then find out it didn’t work as promised? Some things can be returned for a refund. Others cannot . . .<\/p>\n<\/a>War & Terror<\/h1>\n
\nPhilippine President Rodrigo Duterte has called upon the United States to back up a Mutual Defense Treaty (MDS) signed in 1951 between the two countries and send the vaunted Seventh Fleet to take on China. <\/p>\n
\nA crowdpleaser, although it’s too bad it won’t get a vote in the House. It would have been fun to watch the Squad explain after voting no why Antifa is Actually Good. Especially after the … unpleasantness at the Tacoma ICE detention facility last weekend.<\/p>\n<\/a>National<\/h1>\n
\nA non-partisan group has reported that there are still several counties in California where the number of registered voters is greater than the number of eligible citizens, with the total nearing one million people.<\/p>\n
\nWe’ve known for several years now that patients diagnosed with gender dysphoria have been receiving hormone therapy to force their bodies to look and behave more like the gender they “identify” as. But now, as reported at NBC News this week, doctors are going one step further. People who don’t identify as either gender are taking opposite gender hormones in smaller doses (“microdosing”) to shift their appearance only part way, making them appear more androgynous. These patients – assuming that word even applies here – are commonly referred to as “nonbinary” individuals.<\/p>\n
\nLast week, a Dairy Queen employee was fired after her manager misheard a customer’s order for a Moana and My Little Pony-themed cake, instead crafting a blue-and-green cake celebrating marijuana and My Little Pony. The mistake went viral online, and it appears the manager threw the employee under the bus, even though the manager seems to have been responsible.<\/p>\n
\nHow does a boss manage a worker who believes their feelings trump reality, right down to the way she “feels” about her misspelled words?<\/p>\n
\nBernie dropped a whole 6 points<\/p>\n
\nThe world recently learned that the American Psychological Association promotes “polyamory,” “swinging,” and “relationship anarchy.” Its experts say it’s healthy and ethical. They’re crazy.<\/p>\n
\nHas Oregon Governor Kate Brown pushed her liberal agenda too far? In a blue state like that, it’s tough to imagine, but a group of Republicans are launching a recall effort amid complaints of government overreach and new policies they claim are contrary to the best interests and desires of the voters. Does this really have a chance of succeeding? <\/p>\n
\n“Math equity” doesn’t mean 1 + 1 = 2.<\/p>\n
\nWhy the GAY group seeking official recognition at Baylor should not be approved<\/p>\n
\nColorado State University lists “America” and \u201cAmerican\u201d as words to avoid.<\/p>\n
\n“If FB doesn’t want me to post it, then I’m going to blog about it and then I’m going to podcast about it and I’m going to make a stink about it…”<\/p>\n
\nThe new Pohoiki Beach builds on the 2017 success of Intel’s Loihi NPU.<\/p>\n
