Rain! Rain all day and all night. And cloudy weather for weeks on end. When the sun does not shine there is no power from solar panels. And, often when it is quite cold there is little wind to run the wind turbines. I have often thought that within the present administration there surely must […]
Anyone not aware of the trucker convoy in Canada must have spent the past week hiding under a log. The convoy left Vancouver, Canada headed to Ottawa, the capital of Canada. The truckers arrived last weekend. The truckers hope to be able to visit with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and to convince the government to […]
When I worked at the Bunker Hill Mine in Kellogg, Idaho, most of my associates were Democrats—good Americans. They were family men, hard-working, clean living and reasonable. I don’t recognize them anymore. During the Trump Administration, immigration was under control, we were producing more energy than we needed, and America was bouncing back after the […]
Of all the issues facing us as a nation president Biden has made fighting climate change number one; more important than fighting terrorism, national security, international relations or anything else. The theory is that because of man generated carbon dioxide the earth is warming and it will reach a “tipping point” and the earth will […]
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 […]
