Have you ever heard anyone say that 97% of scientists agree that man is the chief cause of global warming and that this warming is going to end in disaster? Actually, less than 1% happen to agree on the cause of climate change! Donald Trump chose Myron Ebell last September to head up the transition […]
Right now there is a lot of discussion about Obamacare, or the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. No one seems to be asking if this is the proper role of government. (The bill was huge, and Congresswoman Pelosi said that we had to pass it so we could find out what was in it. Now […]
Although the House Education Committee voted to approve new science standards for public schools, it rejected five paragraphs pertaining to climate change. Following this action, these comments were made by a State Representative. “The last three years have been the hottest in human history, and the rate of warming will only increase. Idaho is facing […]
This discussion concerns the call for a constitutional convention based on Article V of the U.S. Constitution. Although we feel that to call for an Article V convention would be a mistake, we do recognize that there are strong arguments on both sides. It is therefore important to keep our comments civil as we deal […]
PROLOGUE I wonder about the person who does not vote because he does not like any of the alternatives. Personally I would rather support someone and then be let down than to support no one at all. Note what the Bible says: Rev 3:16 INTRODUCTION Not too long ago a friend asked me how I, […]
By now, if you have not decided to vote for Donald Trump there is probably not much I can say that will cause you to change your mind. Still, it is not good to just give up, so I continue to give you my opinion. We all need to decide what our ultimate goal is. […]
An editorial in the Coeur d’Alene Press by professional engineer David E. Bruderly on Sunday (June 4) made some interesting points. He says that CO2 levels were about 320 ppmv when his grandparents were born, and they are on track to soon double (in the lifetime of his grandchildren). We usually think of soon as […]
Presently two are running for president who are socialists. Therefore it would be well for us to understand that socialism is not the worker’s paradise that some make it out to be. Since President Obama recently visited Cuba, a socialist/communist country it is a very good example. Writing for The New American Fr. James Thornton […]
Hillary Clinton believes climate change is the most important issue facing the world today. More important than terrorism or anything related to it. Listen to what she has to say. Check her out in her own words at JunkScience.com, “All the junk that’s fit to debunk.” where she calls climate change the most consequential challenge. […]
When Al Gore screamed out in Senate testimony: “The Earth Has A Fever” he was not so much explaining a scientific principle as he was seeking to use fear to drive a political agenda. The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has issued five reports (AR5) and in each one they have become […]
Since we could elect a president who is, in all respects, a socialist, it would be good for us to understand what the term means. When we look at Nazi Germany we somehow conclude that they were a people who readily accepted collectivist thinking, and that we could never let that happen here. Milton Mayer […]
Several governors, including our own Butch Otter, have called for a [temporary] ‘halt to the U.S. Refugee Resettlement Program’ ‘until better assurances of security can be obtained.’ (Nov 10, 2015) President Obama said: “Slamming the door in their faces would be a betrayal of our values”. He also said: ‘a religious test’ for refugees would […]
