You won’t find old media reporting this, look on X. . How does Cody explain this destruction so people can get to a Climate Summit? What about “Ban natural gas” Chris Koos?

Where do you think that leaking oil ends up? You think it stays on the turbine? It […]

By: Diane Benjamin Electricity and gas bills are going to increase because of the War on Fossil Fuels called Climate Change. The war is really to prove capitalism doesn’t work, the far left hates the voluntary exchange of goods and services. Big government wants to control your life, not let you decide how to live […]

By: Diane Benjamin The climate change believers were unleashed to spew propaganda in the bird-cage liner today. An editorial by two ISU professors called people who haven’t swallowed the communist green kool-aid part of the “cult of ignorance”. These clowns admit to living in a bubble. I agree and it’s funded by taxpayers and […]

The President launched the WAR on the MIDDLE CLASS today with a speech and this email: I told Congress in February that if they didn’t take action to fight climate change, then I would.

Hundreds of studies show that Earth was warmer 1,000 years ago than it is today. Water vapor, not carbon dioxide, is Earth’s dominant greenhouse gas. Arctic sea ice recently reached a 30-year low, but Antarctic Sea ice is […]
