11/27/18 Climate & the Economy Bjorn Lomborg wrote a WSJ article on the hysteria over projected climate impacts on the economy: https://www.wsj.com/articles/u-n-ignores-economics-of-climate-1539125496 US (& global) economic growth this century is forecast at 300-400%.   Worst case climate impacts on that      As complex as the climate itself is, and forecasting it, so, too is the economy – or we’d have a lot more rich investors.   And the combination of the two is nearly utterly unpredictable.   But the Left will stretch and fabricate to their heart’s content, as truth and facts and real science are not among their values. The French have good reason to be rioting in the streets over taxes raised above their already highest in the world to pay for climate measures. The border rush Thanks, Leftist activists, for helping manufacture the situation confirming the need for more border wall.   Clearly, when several h...

A 2-peat after the 2010 midterms. The GOP picked up at least 8 Senate seats for a solid majority, and possibly more with the Louisiana runoff. Time to celebrate the end of Reid's 6-year Senate reign, and the end of Congressional gridlock! Also, the GOP picked up 6 governorships (more presidential options), for a solid 2/3 of states -- including some fairly blue states -- good riddance to Crist in Florida.  And the House of Representatives party map turned overwhelmingly red (see bel...
