The left does not care about reducing emissions. It has other objectives being accomplished through the draconian measures being mandated by the Biden Administration. If they cared about emissions they would embrace nuclear, clean coal, low carbon fuel development and other measures instead of being obsessed the with impossible goal of zero emissions.

How can a group named Black Lives Matter be pro-abortion?

What does President Biden have in common with an electric car? Neither can go very far without a rest.

A new survey finds that 57% of American millennial electric-vehicle owners say they are likely to switch back to a gasoline-powered car. 

I don’t give money to able bodied panhandlers. With all the now hiring signs, apparently they can make more money begging than by going to work – and it is tax free too!

However, I do give money often to those physically disabled and if they have a dog, almost 100 percent.

Universities are bringing back the SAT and ACT because although test scores are going down, GPAs are going up.

California is still talking about reparations. Are the blacks going to have to prove that they are descended from slaves? Are immigrants, Native Americans, Mexicans and Asians going to have to pay reparations to black folk?

Is there any evidence that blacks descended from slaves are worse off than blacks who are not?

Even if Trump wins, there won’t be much change in business policy regarding climate. They have invested too much and been bribed too much with all the trillions from the government to go back.

Trump is a short timer and he is likely to prove as unpopular as Biden.

The republicans need to make abortion cease to be an issue. Of course no matter what they do, the left with try to keep the issue on the front burner because it gets them votes from suburban white women and black women. The republicans should endorse all forms of birth control. Polls show that the vast majority of voters are not opposed to abortion within the first six weeks. However, the majority – even democrats – oppose abortion after that. The republicans in their national platform should not oppose early abortions, oppose a nationwide ban on abortions and leave it up to the states.

During the celebration of Juneteenth, there was the usual wasted discussion on what should actually be emancipation day for black Americans. Some pointed to January 1, 1863 when Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation rather than June 19, 1865. However, the slaves were not freed by that action which proclaimed that the slaves were “forever free” in those states at war with the Union. Slaves were not therefore not freed anywhere. My great grandmother said that they knew of the proclamation and did not throw down their shackles and run off the plantation shouting “Lawdy, we is free!” Rather, they went back to work. Juneteenth marked when the last slaves were notified of their freedom. However, that means that the others were already free. Some have pointed to the 13th Amendment which was ratified on December 8, 1865 when slavery was abolished de jure, even though all the slaves had already been freed de facto. My point is that it really doesn’t matter. What matters is that the abomination that is chattel slavery was ended in the United States.
