Liz Cheney Addresses Donald Trump
Though Trump seems to have control of the Republican party, and thus the U.S. government, there are members of the GOP, e.g., Liz Cheney, who aren’t willing to concede on matters of truth and rule of law.
Powerful stuff here.

Liberal Ideas
Pastor Brandon’s argument is one we’ve seen before. Maybe liberalism is simply a collection of better ideas than conservatism, and that’s the reason we find them in places of higher education.

Linda McMahon as Secretary of Education
Here’s a short video that lays out the most salient points of Trump’s new Education Secretary’s history and political philosophy, and, therefore, what we can expect to happen to our children over the next four years. I recommend viewing it with a glass of wine; you’re going to need something to calm you down.

Disinformation on Domestic Oil Production
Apparently, there are people who don’t understand that the United States produces more crude oil than any country on Earth, at any time in world history.

China’s Ownership of U.S. Farmland
China and Chinese interests own about 1% of all foreign-owned farmland.
Of all foreign-owned U.S. land, Canadian investors owned the most at 12.8 million acres. This makes up 31% of all foreign-owned U.S. land. Four other countries held 12.4 million acres combined, or another 31% of foreign-owned land: the Netherlands (12%), Italy (7%), the United Kingdom (6%), and Germany (6%). China holds less than 1%.
1% of 3.1% is .031% or 0.00031. It’s infinitesimal, but more that enough to rile up the morons.

Lies about Electric Transportation
It’s impossible to know who or what is behind the constant flow of disinformation on electric transportation, e.g., the graphic at left. Big Oil? QAnon? Other right-wing, anti-environmentalist groups?
In any case, I have a friend who’s been telling me since we were teenagers 50 years ago, that EVs only move the source of the emissions from the vehicle to the power plant. Of course, he also told me, “When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.” Yes, he’s given to those types of slogans one encounters on Fox News and the like.
In truth, the phasing out of fossil fuels in our energy and transportation sectors is a boon to our environment, and our efforts to mitigate climate change in particular. This has been shown in hundreds of peer-reviewed studies spanning several decades. Here’s a piece from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency debunking myths on the subject.

You WILL Do This
Apparently, some people have an appetite for being ordered around by the most ignorant and hateful people in America.

Why Trump Is Considered a Good Guy
The answer: Trump’s tens of millions of supporters are turned on by his overt racism and the fact that he always wins, regardless of what it takes.
Whether it’s defrauding a children’s charity or attempting to overthrow the United States government, these are seen as signs of strength.

Future Regrets
Here’s something that’s getting passed around on social media. Common responses include nose rings, face tattoos, and sex changes.
I’m going with “electing criminal sociopaths to lead the most powerful country on Earth.”
