Fossil fuels saved the whales

10/14/26:

It's been awhile since I heard anybody mention the whales.

They must be doing okay.

Maybe we should be worried about other things, like our freedom.

Nov 17, 2012: The original post is below:

There aren't too many folks who haven't heard the environmentalist's pleas to save the whales.  Human beings are so cruel, they claim.  Only humans would hunt whales to extinction for their blubber.  In the old days, whale blubber was turned into whale oil, which was used to light homes before there was such a thing as electricity.

If it wasn't for oil, whales would have been hunted to extinction for sure by now.

If it wasn't for coal, forests would have been denuded of trees by now.

If we go Barak to the future, the trees and the whales won't be safe.  But those who won't think for themselves believe what the environmentalists say.  They will stop the fossil fuel industry from saving the whales and the trees.

Yeah, I know it all sounds so extreme.  But truth is extreme.  So are lies.  You don't find the truth by splitting the difference.

Save the whales.  Keep the fossil fuel industry going.

Opinion: I don't trust the news anymore

Nor do I trust government statistics, nor do I trust the Federal Reserve.

Inflation numbers are higher just ahead of the election. A breakdown of the stats shows higher energy prices and housing leading the charge. In my opinion, the energy prices are being rigged. The Federal Reserve uses this data as an excuse to raise interest rates. Interest rates impact mortgage rates, which raises inflation statistics yet again. in other words, a rigged market is raising the cost of living in order to ifluence how the public votes. It is a pattern. In 2008, the stock market crashed. Each time the left needs something, they get some kind of crisis.

I'm not buying any of it. According to the late Milton Friedman, inflation is caused by monetary policy. ALWAYS.

As a famous person once said: There are lies, damned lies, and statistics. This election season is loaded with them.

Whoa! Talarico news!

10/13/26:

This is one really strange story. If the audio file that corraborated Talarico's treatment was fake, then what guarantee that ANY news about it is true? In other words, it is one's word against another.

10/11/26:

Maybe Talarico is a Houdini and can escape this one. A recording of a hospital employee shows up as potential confirmation that he was treated in a mental hospital. Talarico's campaign denies story.

10/9/26:

If this is True, then Talarico is finished...

There was something similiar in the Presidential Election in 1972... That's is what you call a clue...

Did Trump and Putin Just Kill London’s Oil Game?

My question is how does this affect the price? Who is accepting delivery and what guarantee that they charge the prices at the pump that they already are charging?

Venus' hot surface temperature not caused by carbon dioxide?

Perhaps the consensus is wrong? I've doubted it for decades now.

Confirmation?

American Thinker article: Why Venus data undermines the consensus on greenhouse gas warming.

Communism vs. Christianity

American Thinker:

Who can doubt that wherever communism has risen, war follows?

Quote:

Chambers understood the Communist mentality because he lived within that worldview for many years. But as he witnessed the carnage that system of thought perpetrated, he understood that he must break from it. As he put it, “The Communist breaks because he must choose at last between irreconcilable opposites -- God or Man, Soul or Mind, Freedom or Communism.”

Comment: Those who support communism while living in a free society can be none other than the criminal element.

You cannot cringe in the face of this. There may be no other option but to fight if peaceful opposition becomes impossible. In that case, will Americans fight?

Which would you prefer?

Fear-mongering or optimism?
