As a special celebration of Earth Day, Thomas Lifson assembled a list of the top 50 worst eco-disasters that never occurred. Thank you to Mr. Lifson for putting together this great summary with supporting links.
Myron Ebell and Steven J. Milloy assemble a bevy of news reports dating back to the first Earth Day in 1970 and even earlier. The reports document scientific predictions of doom and gloom for life on earth from some of the best minds of the times. The predictions have one important thing in common, they were all proven to be spectacularly wrong. It is well worth your time to click over and read the full article. You’ll get some good laughs. Remember these forgotten gems when you see media and Democrats and politicized scientists of today make new predictions of Earth’s demise resulting from the rotten schemes of human folly.
Remember too that Biden’s climate tsar and failed presidential candidate John Kerry is jetting around the globe in a desperate last ditch effort to save Earth even as you read this. Democrats in congress are intent on spending trillions of taxpayer dollars on the Green New Deal to save our burning planet from man-caused warming.
“…That was back in the days when we were all still calling Jenner a “man” whose name was “Bruce,” cruelly misgendering and deadnaming a person who was obviously female from birth. Just because Jenner looked like a man and called himself herself a man and performed feats of strength and speed achievable only by a man, my generation ignorantly assumed that he she was in fact a man.
It was a different time, and we didn’t know any better. Back then, we all believed in a dimwitted backwoods superstition called “chromosomes.” Now we’re much more enlightened, and we realize womanhood is so precious that you can attain it just by saying so. And, well, you need to be rich enough to afford probably half a million dollars’ worth of surgeries and hormone therapy, stylists and makeup artists and photographers, etc. And it doesn’t hurt to have the assistance of a fawning media, eager to tell you how brave you are for breaking the bonds of biology.
And now, just as it was inevitable that the gold medalist of the 1976 Olympic men’s decathlon would turn out to be a broad all along, today we realize Jenner’s amazing journey was all leading up to one inexorable outcome. After weeks of whispers and rumors, it’s official. Lachlan Markay, Alayna Treene, Jonathan Swan, Axios:
Former Olympic decathlete and reality TV star Caitlyn Jenner has filed her initial paperwork to run for governor of California and will officially announce her bid later today, her campaign tells Axios…
Jenner, a longtime Republican, is seeking to replace Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom in a recall election, hoping her celebrity status and name recognition can yield an upset in the nation’s most populous state.
But in deep-blue California, she’s decidedly not branding herself as a Trump Republican even as she’s counting on some of the former president’s advisers to drive her strategy.
Boy oh girl, this one is gonna confuse pretty much everybody. Remember all that glowing media coverage Jenner has received for the last half-decade? Yeah, that’s over now. All that was before Jenner was considered a threat to the Democrats. Now, the same people who’ve spent years screaming about “transphobia” will have to stop on a dime and tell you why a proud trans woman is unsuitable to run a state better than Gavin Newsom has.
It’s already starting. The Democrat Party hacks are lining up and goose-stepping just like they’re told:
Caitlyn Jenner is an unqualified, selfish hack who cares only about protecting her wealth and that of her family. Her views on the issues are horrible. Let's hope that being rich and famous won't be enough this time.
Jenner is not only using Russian agent Brad Parscale, but Tony Fabrizio, the GOP pollster whose internal polling data went straight to Russian intelligence through Konstantin Kilimnik. https://t.co/gKJmXLAq4J
Ooooh, and I can’t wait for the late-night hosts to prove that they don’t care about anything but helping Dems win elections. Transphobia is about to become cool again!
Can Jenner win? If you had asked me as recently as five years ago, I’d be skeptical. But in the post-Trump landscape, crazy is the new normal. So… maybe?…”
I’ll listen to what Jenner has to say before dismissing her/him out of hand. Who knows, she/he couId be the next Trump. I can’t say she/he would be my first choice. Newsom is bad, but I don’t want to vote off my nose to spite my face.
This particular decision stacks different aspects of stupid to achieve a new level of special stupidity. For instance, has any single ‘global climate migrant’ been identified anywhere? Now, such a group of preferred victims will miraculously appear out of nowhere to exploit the special stupidity of this nonsensical uttering of a mumbling fool. Next, we will be told by our moral betters in Democrat government that American citizens have to accept these preferred victims into our country and provide tax dollars for their care.
I was fan of George W. Bush. No longer. He has demonstrated the same disease that destroyed Romney, an overwhelming hatred for President Trump combined with an overwhelming desire for acceptance by the disgusting joke that passes for U.S. media. The media hate Bush as much as they hate Trump. They use Bush as a tool to damage the Republican Party. After his usefulness passes, he will be unceremoniously dumped on his ass.
Bush’s milk water claims that we somehow treat illegal immigrants unfairly or that we owe the illegal immigrants citizenship out of some moral good, do not pass muster, and I do not accept them as good faith efforts.
No type or amount of apologies from the former president will suffice for this short-sighted lack of discipline.
