  • “Green Energy Transition” Is a Costly “Myth,” Says Expert, and “Isn’t Happening”

    By Selwyn Duke “The definition of insanity,” the apocryphal saying goes, “is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.” This could come to mind now that yet another warning has been issued about “green” energy. A transition to it simply “isn’t happening,” says researcher Bjørn Lomborg, of the Copenhagen…

  • Illegal Aliens Are Destroying Our Environment, Darién Gap Indians Warn

    By Selwyn Duke We hear much about the crime, costs, and culture clashes resulting from illegal migration. But one consequence is generally overlooked: the environmental destruction wrought by the millions of illegal aliens encouraged to travel to the U.S. by the Harris-Biden administration. This destruction is severe, too. Just ask the Indians living in the…

  • Is Man a Plague Upon the Earth?

    By Selwyn Duke First there was the anti-Western Westerner, the hate-America-first crowd, and the self-loathing white person. Now we have the anti-human human, who, like General Ursus in Beneath the Planet of the Apes, seems to think that “the only good human is a dead human!” Of course, the Kum-Gaia-singing misanthropes don’t actually say that;…

  • The Case for Ending the EPA

    By Selwyn Duke In the Republican presidential debate last evening, some of the candidates passionately stated that the Environmental Protection Agency should be eliminated. It’s a position that sounds strange to some ears. As a respondent in a Fox News focus group said after the debate, and this is a paraphrase, “This all sounds good…

  • Drill, Baby, Drill . . . Still

    By Selwyn Duke The gulf oil gusher is a disaster of great proportions. We’ve all seen the pictures of petroleum-soaked birds and dead fish, and the area’s economy is on life support. The mishap truly is a tragedy for all, from Gulf residents to English pensioners to marine wildlife to, yes, BP itself. As bad…

  • The Covetous Crew of the COP15

    By Selwyn Duke While Copenhagen seems poised to enjoy a white Christmas, an equally noticeable color in the city was red, with flag-waving communists and socialists protesting and hoisting banners with messages such as “CAPITALISM MEANS WAR” and “CAPITALISM ISN’T WORKING, Crush the system not the climate.” They were well represented within the conference as…

  • On the Front Lines of Global Warming Hysteria: Your Kids

    By Selwyn Duke When I was a wee lad in elementary school — this was back when global cooling was dogma — we kids had all heard about killer bees. You may remember the story: Scientists in Brazil had bred the African honey bee with a European honey bee and succeeded in creating, well, a…

  • Obama Regulatory Pick’s Pro-animal Rights and Anti-First Amendment Activism

    By Selwyn Duke It’s not surprising that Harvard man Barack Obama wouldn’t share late writer William F. Buckley’s sentiment that “I would rather be governed by 400 people out of the phone book than the whole faculty of Harvard.” In fact, although he won’t manage to fill the Congress with the staff of his alma…

  • Here is a Great Example of Leftist Insanity http://youtube.com/v/EWVyJ-YG3ewMany people find this funny, but to me it's just pathetic. It's a video of a group of leftist activists talking to the trees in a forest. If only it were a spoof. Ready the straitjackets and rubber trucks.

  • BILL MAHER: Foolish Rambling about Global Warming http://youtube.com/v/KqesgXP6_FYThis segment from Bill Maher's show is a good example of what the sheeple are exposed to, and why they are sheeple. As for Maher, he's living proof of why a little knowledge is dangerous. A more smug man there never was, yet he is as nonintellectual as…
