Environmental Destruction Agency

In an essay in The Wall Street Journal, he said he wants to “... drive a dagger through the heart of climate change religion and usher in America’s Golden Age...”
Of course, that was a CEO of a fossil fuel or petrochemical conglomerate, right? No, that was…

A Bridge Too Far
March 15, 2025
Michigan has always been a bit of a mecca for campers; put up a tent, build a fire, head out on a hike or to the beach, and enjoy all that Michigan nature has to offer. We’ve provided plenty of opportunities for our adventuresome residents and visitors.

Our New Friends
March 8, 2025
The United States has been a beacon of hope for much of the world for eight decades. It took Donald Trump a month to turn off that light.
This becomes obvious as we betray Ukraine, turn our backs on our NATO allies, and inflict punitive tariffs on our best trading partners. The inte…

Vigilantes, and Other Issues
March 1, 2025
So many issues have arisen as the new administration lays waste to chunks of the federal government that are pretty valuable in a pinch. We’ll have to try and sort all that out another time; other issues occupy today’s space.
Let’s start today in New York City, whe…

Hardly Fair
Feb. 22, 2025
College athletics has become fully professionalized. Amateurism and education are no longer front and center; pay-to-play is the new order of the day.
Many would argue this is only fair. College athletics is not some minor-league enterprise, it’s a full-blown industry with ful…

Proving We Need It
Feb. 15, 2025
Black History Month is not quite dead. President Trump signed a declaration announcing it and he mentioned several Black people from our history, perhaps the only such folks whose names he knows.
But the Trump ban on all things DEI (diversity, equality, inclusion) was more important…

Progress, but Not Enough
Feb. 8, 2025
It isn’t clear how much longer the current government will be producing data regarding climate, as they are already in the process of removing references to climate change online and in printed informational material.
The operative philosophy seems to be if we don’t talk…

Pardon Us
Feb. 1, 2025
Presidents have near absolute power to issue pardons or commutations for those convicted of federal crimes. Actually, they can issue such clemency for those already convicted of crimes, those currently on trial, or even preemptively for future crimes.
Article II, Section 2, Clause 1…

Constitution at Risk?
Jan. 25, 2025
It would seem our Constitution is somewhat at risk as our new president, and at least some of his supporters, don’t care for parts they find inconvenient. The president has actually said he believes he can find ways to circumvent some sections through Executive Orders and other parts …

Making It Worse
Jan. 18, 2025
Los Angeles County is not the only thing burning; lots of politicians have their pants on fire, too.
Disasters are instructive if for no other reason than they help us differentiate between those seeking to help and find solutions and those only seeking to assign blame. With the fla…

Delusional Ramblings for Day One
Jan. 4, 2025
There is always some mystery to what a newly elected president and Congress might do to or for us. With Donald Trump, we have someone who has made a series of promises regarding his very first day in office. We’ll soon discover there is a significant chasm between what a candidate pro…

Celebrating However We Choose
Dec. 21, 2024
Christmas can be a solemn symbolic celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, or it can be
a purely secular event, or it can be a combination of both. The real beauty of Christmas is we can celebrate however we choose or not at all.
It was commonly believed the first Christmas c…

Spaced Out
Dec. 14, 2024
The Space Race began way back in 1957 when the old Soviet Union launched little Sputnik, the first human-made object placed in earth orbit. It didn’t do anything but blink and beep, but it was a very big deal at the time. The U.S. responded in 1958 with Explorer I, and the race was on…

Leave Them Alone
Dec. 7, 2024
Cryptozoologists, those who study and search for animals whose existence is disputed and cannot be substantiated, are very busy these days as we “discover” more and more unusual critters. Or at least we think we do.
Alabama, for example, has some kind of albino Bigfoot t…

They Already Know
Nov. 30, 2024
It’s been another year of efforts to ban books from public or school libraries or, at the very least, move them to a place that makes it harder to find them. All in the name of protecting our delicate children from the ravages of literature with controversial topics and language.

Nov. 16, 2024
The post mortem—and for Democrats that always involves finger pointing and blame—started as the votes were still being counted. This year they were way better at finding reasons they lost than they were at finding ways to win.
Senator Bernie Sanders, who seems to get cra…

Spending Is Never Reduced
Nov. 9, 2024
It’s finally over. This is being written late Tuesday (election) night, so the complaining and accusations have just begun. At the very least, we should now be relieved of the low-quality, high-volume barrage of electronic commercials and mailers.
There was some amusement, muc…

We Will Survive
Nov. 2, 2024
Some of you will be reading this before Tuesday’s election and some after. You might still be hopeful or now joyful or despondent. So whether you believe the world will be, or has been, saved from the forces of evil or is likely to be controlled by those forces, take a very deep breat…

Immigration, Inflation, and Abortion
Oct. 26, 2024
Thankfully, it’s almost over—the absolute blizzard of misinformation, disinformation, and blatant lies. Let’s see if we can sort through some of it.
National Republicans have made immigration a top-of-the-line issue, and legitimately so. No president has had an eff… Read More >>
