Government ice measurement agency caught altering measurements to make 5-year-old ice appear to be at “its smallest level” ever recorded

‘Peer Review’ has Collapsed as a Tool for Ensuring the Validity of Science
With so much government money flowing into ‘top-tier’ research universities, the peer-review process has virtually collapsed. More observers are wakening to the fact that the ‘science’ which appears in high-level scholarly journals tends to favor government positions. William A.

American businesses are in decline due to overregulation
Trusters of government have been pouring on regulations since the 1990s. Here is a Washington Post story about the decline of American entrepreneurship. Fewer business are launching.

More sad news for Venezuela: Government to ration electrical power
Venezuela, a South American country with dynamic people and the world’s largest proven oil reserves, has suffered under the curse of socialism for two decades. After the Venezuelan government took a hard-line turn toward socialism in the 1990s, the government took over most industries. Now the government of the oil-rich nation can’t provide enough electricity …

Federal employees get 8 paid weeks off per year
Federal “workers” are generally paid 1-1/2 to 2 times what workers in the private sector are paid for the same type of work. Yet this fact greatly understates the luxury, power and security of federal employment. Private employees are lucky to have 2 weeks of paid vacation per year. Federal workers with seniority get more …
