<\/a>Gun Rights<\/h1>\n
\nLast week I wrote about the spread of Virginia’s “Second Amendment sanctuaries” – counties, towns, and cities that vow not to enforce state gun laws they deem unconstitutional, in the wake of the Democrats’ taking control of the state government. There are a few new developments worth noting.<\/p>\n
\nPlaintiffs allege gun manufacturer failed to incorporate safety features into weapon<\/p>\n
\nLos Angeles City Council rules “suppress” the speech of the NRA and its sponsors.<\/p>\n
\nYou can’t stop an idea whose time has come. That’s a lesson we’ve seen hammered home by the Second Amendment Sanctuary movement in Virginia in the last month.<\/p>\n
\nThe state Attorney General of Virginia seems to have finally grown tired of pesky counties and cities in his state passing Second Amendment sanctuary resolutions and would like to put the whole unpleasant affair behind him. But how does one do that? Why, by calling a press conference and issuing a proclamation, of course. Such resolutions are meaningless (according to the AG) and will have no effect on anything whatsoever. You have his word on it. <\/p>\n
\nA consumer group is demanding that toy brand Nerf discontinue selling “assault weapon toys” to children. The group, the Empire State Consumer Project, argues that the company is promoting a culture of fear where children are becoming scared of mass shootings taking place at their schools.<\/p>\n<\/a>Hide the Decline<\/h1>\n
Environment &
\n“Green Energy”<\/h2>\n
\nWith California’s energy costs for electricity and fuels among the highest in the country, Governor Newsom just doubled down to increase inflation with actions to further reduce oil production and putting more electrical loads on a state that cannot generate enough electricity to meet its own needs. The Governor’s recent actions will further “fuel” (no pun intended) the growth of the homeless and those on poverty.<\/p>\n
\n“We”ve proven that you can transition to clean energy and strengthen the economy at the same time”<\/p>\n
\nPetrol and diesel cars are set to be completely banned from a busy London street under plans for Britain\u2019s first 24-hour zero-emissions road.<\/p>\n
\nOMG! Dogs and cats are responsible for a quarter of the greenhouse gas emissions caused by animal agriculture, according a new study out Wednesday, which adds up to a whopping 64 million tons of carbon-dioxide equivalent emitted in the production of their food<\/p>\n
\nBy now, most readers will be familiar with climate Muppet moppet Greta Thunberg, who famously said that “we will put world leaders against the wall” at a recent public demonstration in Turin Italy.<\/p>\n
\nDon’t get me wrong. I love nuclear energy and think it has the power to change the world for the better. But Congress is working its way toward creating a new, $230 million-plus subsidy program for the nuclear-energy sector that’s a waste of taxpayer resources, is problematic for the industry, and that totally ignores issues where congressional leadership is desperately needed.<\/p>\n
\nIn western Massachusetts, a group of a dozen or so climate activists tried to stop a trainload of coal heading for a power plant in New Hampshire\u2026by standing on the railroad tracks in front of the train. Evidently they thought the train could, and would, screech to a halt. <\/p>\n
