Just this morning the news announced that the Jan. 6 committee is going to pause before starting up again in a month or two. This is the latest attempt to impeach Trump for the third time. This time they want to charge him with a crime, and make accomplices of all his supporters. It’s hard to understand the abject hatred that must be involved, or maybe it’s fear. Nobody has been able to galvanize a movement like he has. There’s a story out today about how the “inner circle” is making plans that will deprive a great many government workers of their jobs, should he regain the presidency. Maybe he doesn’t want people in the rank and file to be working behind the scenes to sabotage everything he says and does while they pretend to be run-of-the-mill employees. (Here’s hoping he fires them all!)

I’d like to tell you about a call from yesterday. A man called to tell me that “Christians” read my letters, and don’t need to be drug through the political equation. My reply was that the political equation is delving into areas of our beliefs, and we’re not going to go along. Will the Beast and False Prophet not be political (and maybe religious) figures? What about ten nations calling the shots collectively? What “doctrines” are being jammed down society’s throat that deny the existence of God? What about “climate change?” What about gender fluidity, to repeat a made-up doctrine.

We’ve got to jump through hoops and feel guilty about our Divinely ordained blessings because some international institution says so? We’ve got to support “lifestyles” that are condemned throughout God’s Word because they’ll call us haters if we don’t? Oh well. Sorry. It seems that suggesting man’s activities are going to improve the weather is the height of folly. Suggesting that God is not the Creator and that we (or some PhD’s of some kind) are the highest form of intelligence in the universe is foolishness as far as we are concerned. Banishing God’s blessings because they are damaging to some bogus theory is not what we have in mind.

It’s downright funny that the same individuals who are pushing the global warming “crisis” are trying to sell us on things we don’t want. Having never tasted “meatless meat,” I’m no authority and hope never to be. It is interesting that those who claim the planet is being destroyed by cow flatulence are heavily invested in what they want us to eat. Thanks anyway.

But the guy who thinks he’s president is floating trial balloons about a global warming emergency. If he (or Susan Rice or Obama) should declare a climate emergency, all bets are off. According to a story published by Bloomberg, “White House officials are still weighing a separate declaration that climate change is a national emergency—a step that would unlock broad executive authority to propel clean-energy construction, restrict oil drilling and curb the transport of fossil fuels.”

You don’t need me to tell you gas prices are already sky high. What else can be done to punish the American citizen? Here in Texas they’ve assigned some percentage of the grid to windmills and solar panels. They’ve also been all over the news asking people to reduce their energy usage during the hottest of days, because the grid might fail. Maybe they should have thought of that before spending a fortune on all those windmills. Sometimes the wind doesn’t blow. It’s probably Trump’s fault.

We’re navigating a maze of nonsense. It’s no hotter in Texas than when I was a kid. The grid never failed, but then we weren’t dependent on the wind blowing either. It does get hot in Texas, every Summer. That’s when they reliably freak out over global warming. Maybe so-called “clean renewable energy” isn’t the answer. For one thing it’s not clean. Where do you think windmills and solar panels come from. Hint: they’re not made in America.

Western nations are in disarray as never before. Canada’s got a dictator, the UK is adrift, Israel doesn’t know who the Prime Minister is, France has a political quagmire, all of Europe is struggling with global warming nonsense. Italy’s Prime Minister just resigned, and there’s no need to tell you about the United States. It’s a mess, and an unnecessary one. Man is inferior to God, and better figure that out right away.

The first thing we should acknowledge in this catastrophic week is the death of Rush Limbaugh.  He is responsible for millions in this country having their heads screwed on straight, in addition to being the funniest, friendliest radio host in the history of the world.  My mom never missed his program, and I’ll not forget my dad rising from his chair to give Rush a private standing ovation after a particularly brilliant segment.  Word is that the attackers started mocking him and his death immediately.  And we’re the bad guys!

Texas made a down payment on its actions toward “going green” this week.  There had to have been untold suffering as temperatures hovered at zero Fahrenheit.  It would have been a joyous time for everyone, but the power was out.  The cable was out.  The Internet was out, and there was no heat other than huddling under blankets.  People were down to body heat, and millions had no way to prepare food.  We’re undoubtedly going to be hearing lots of stories of bare survival, assuming the masters of tech don’t ban them.   The whole episode flies in the face of the propaganda they demand we repeat.

It’s not like this never happened before.  Something similar happened way back in 1983, but it wasn‘t nearly as memorable.  Maybe that’s because we didn’t endure four, going on five days without traditional sources of heat, or any other vestige of civilized life.

Maybe the “renewable energy, save the planet people” overlooked a thing or two. Presumably they never thought of what would happen if their beloved windmills froze up, crippling the grid, to hear the news explain it.  It’s all so logical.  Turns out the water treatment plants need power too, and so do people’s aerobic systems.  Hmmm.  Try not to think about it.

Boil water before drinking, the water treatment systems are not exactly up to speed, and drinking contaminated water could be very serious, say all the news breaks over battery radio.  Where are we?  Is it Venezuela yet?  Well not yet, but the green brigade is just getting geared up.  And do they have big plans for us!  The UN just released a report describing all the things we “must” do to avoid a global warming catastrophe.  You mean this isn’t one?  These geniuses lack good sense!

It seems every time there is a big “green” push to manage “global warming,” some ice-age phenomenon comes along.  Some years ago they had a big global warming conference in Germany with all the attendant scientific experts.  They nearly froze to death.  Attendees had to walk to the conference center, and then stand in line.  It was perfect.

Then there was the case of the scientific research ship that headed from Australia to someplace they shouldn’t have been.  They were going to collect data that demonstrated the ongoing blight of global warming.  Their ship was encased in ice, they had to be rescued by helicopter.  

So this week we had another big event, just hours before the power grid failed spectacularly. I’d never have seen this, except for the golf tournament on CBS.  They kept promoting that night’s episode of 60 Minutes when Anderson Cooper would interview Bill Gates.  No need to watch the segment, unless you just want to wallow in the flow of intellectual vanity.  Yours truly would dive across furniture to get them out of my house.  Don’t quote me, but Gates says something along the lines of, “Everybody has to stop what they’re doing and develop a strategy for achieving carbon net-zero by 2023,” or some such.  A few hours later, the power went out.  The temperature plunged to extremes that undoubtedly caused untold suffering, given the lack of heat.  They’ve already said 40 some died of carbon monoxide poisoning, trying to keep warm and resorting to desperate measures.
