Electric heat is fine, as far as it goes, but I always want a backup

That rascally rodent, Punxsutawney Phil projected six more weeks of winter, something which should have expired on Monday, but Tuesday sure was cold as well. We know that the groundhog’s projections are scientific, because the Weather Channel sends very scientifically-minded Meteorologist Jen Carfagno to cover it. Alas! Not only did we not get an early …

Hormuz: 21 Miles of History Proving Geography Still Rules the Modern World

The modern world likes to believe it has outgrown geography. Satellites circle the planet, data moves at the speed of light, and weapons can strike targets from continents away. Military theorists speak confidently about cyber war, artificial intelligence, and fifth-generation conflict conducted across digital networks and orbital platforms. Yet despite all this technological sophistication, the global economy still depends on an astonishingly simple fact of physical geography: about twenty-one miles of ocean between Iran and Oman control roughly a quarter of the world’s oil and enormous quantities of energy-related commodities such as petrochemical feedstocks and fertilizer inputs.

A Modest Climate Change Proposal: Melt Michigan

For decades, Democrats have run the greatest long con in meteorological history—keeping Michigan locked in a Siberian deep freeze under the guise of “saving the planet.” This is not environmentalism. This is a communist cold-storage program. A deliberate effort to stop the natural evolution of states—where Michigan obviously becomes Florida with better beer and fewer felonies.

The Climate Hysteria is Ending – That’s Great for America!

Ruy Teixeira has an article in the Liberal Patriot (a contradictory name if ever there was one) entitled: The Climate Movement is Circling the Drain – That’s Great for Democrats! He convincingly argues that the climate change hysteria is dying out, but not so convincingly claims that this is a positive development for the Democrats.

The State Department. It Needs Reform…Badly.

  Marco Rubio is working to make the State Department bureaucracy focused on serving American interests, not staffers looking at their DEI assignment/promotion. Sheriff murdered. Innocent women and children blown to bits! We’ve got to protect our phony-baloney jobs. We must do something about this immediately, immediately, immediately! Governor William J. Lepetomane (Mel Brooks), Blazzing …

The World, And The Future, Are Not Powered On Fantasies

Unlike multiple other European nations, France is not experiencing power issues. Germany, after pledging to go all “green,” is reactivated shuttered coal plants (perhaps they should not have relied on Russian natural gas imports). Great Britian is suffering multiple outages (although not back to the 19th century like Spain and Portugal) from lack of stable generation capacity and lack of grid upgrades.
