The Difference Between the Real World and Obama's

I keep wondering what it must have been like to be a young student at West Point listening to their Commander in Chief’s platitudes and ignorance wash over them. West Point is where our nation’s future leaders in war receive an education in how to protect the nation by crushing our enemies, if Presidents and Congress will let them.

Spanish Lesson For Obama

Think of what’s happening in countries like Spain, Germany and Japan, where they’re making real investments in renewable energy. They’re surging ahead of us, poised to take the lead in these new industries. This isn’t because they’re smarter than us, or work harder than us, or are more innovative than we are. It’s because their governments have harnessed their people’s hard work and ingenuity with bold investments — investments that are paying off in good, high-wage jobs — jobs they won’t lose to other countries. –-President Barack Obama, 17 January 2009

Just Assume We Have a Climate Crisis

Climate modelers and disaster proponents remind me of four guys who were marooned on an island, after their plane went down. The engineer began drawing plans for a boat; the lumberjack cut trees to build it; the pilot plotted a course to the nearest known civilization. But the economist just sat there. The exasperated workers asked him why he wasn’t helping.

Chelsea Flower Show a Blooming Success

This is the month the bugs begin to bite. So what can gardeners do? In Canada east of Manitoba, the political elite has decreed ‘chemical’ pesticides verboten for home gardeners. Elsewhere, others are becoming increasingly disillusioned with the environmental risks posed by the substances. However, bottled ‘natural’ solutions remain available. Prominent amongst these are insecticidal soap and neem oil. While both are less hazardous to beneficial insects, they may still pose a threat, albeit a reduce one. Applying late in the evening when the good guys are less active can lower this still further. Both will have largely degraded by the following morning.

Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner?

The International Center for Religion and Diplomacy (ICRD) is a Washington-based non-profit organization that, like many working these portfolios, happens to have worrisome ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. It is, moreover, engaged in a top priority of what the Brotherhood calls “civilization jihad” – namely, interfaith dialogue. The Brothers cynically engage in such “bridge-building” in order to induce individuals and institutions of other creeds to provide them with political cover, thereby enabling subversive Islamist efforts to insinuate into this country the supremacist shariah doctrine – all in the name of religious freedom.

Faithfulness is the Key to Restoring America

I shot the music video for my song, “We Are Americans”. Between takes while the director was setting up a different camera angle, I was on my mark on the set.

Suddenly, I have a talented director shooting my music video at no expense. Praise God!

Who Says 10,000 Steps a Day?

How many steps do most people take daily, and how many are needed for good health? I had no idea how many I take and thought it would be interesting and prudent to find out. And, who is right about exercise, Mark Twain or the Earl of Derby?

U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Thomas Donohue was barely finished calling for the further impoverishment of American workers (i.e. “immigration reform”) when he shows up as a guest of Cuba’s Stalinist regime and gives a speech at the University of Havana calling for a further fleecing of American taxpayers (i.e. ending the so-called Cuba embargo.)

U.S. Chamber of Commerce Assesses Obama's Promised Climate Rule

While other countries renege on their carbon reduction policies, President Obama is moving full force to make Americans pay 'big time' for their energy while achieving very little in greenhouse gas reduction benefits. Although President Obama has not released his plan to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from existing power plant sources yet (he will do so Monday), the U.S. Chamber of Commerce commissioned a study that looks at the economic and energy impacts of a hypothetical policy that would meet the President's stated emission goals.[ia] The study indicates that the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) plan to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from power plants would result in:
