What we haven’t known is how people view the makings […]
MAINSTREAM MEDIA SILENT A decade ago, folks in northern states such as South and North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming and Idaho were watching large swaths of their pine forests die off due to invasive pine beetles.

“They Trusted Government” It has been one year since the Trump Administration’s FCC overturned the Obama Administration’s FCC program known as “net neutrality.” The concept of “net neutrality” was based on the tired, worn-out idea that government must control and regulate all industries.

Last year the governments of several California cities sued Exxon for supposed-predicted-future damage from “climate change.” The cities all claim their streets, bridges and other infrastructures will be damaged horribly by the actions of the fossil fuel company.

More climate-change lies. A group of California cities and municipalities including Oakland and San Mateo recently filed suit against Exxon and other fossil fuel companies alleging the companies are causing certain damage to the cities’ infrastructure due to catastrophic global warming. But at the same time the same cities tell their bankers and bonding agencies […]

There is just one problem with this notion: Baltimore has the SECOND-HIGHEST rate of cops per-capita in the U.S.! (1st is Washington, D.C..) Wherever city governments have […]
