With the passing of Ted Turner, I thought it might be timely to post an editorial I wrote for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, April 10, 2008. I think it has held up well! "Global Warming, Climate Change and Cannibalism." For years, cries of “global warming” have played on our fears. We’re told the oceans will engulf coastlines and all the polar bears and humans will die. Al Gore recently told “60 Minutes” that those who doubt global warming “are in such a tiny, tiny minority now with their point of view. They’re almost like the ones who still believe that the moon landing was staged in a movie lot in Arizona and those who believe the Earth is flat.” Last week, CNN founder Ted Turner told PBS’s Charlie Rose that inaction on global warming “will be catastrophic,” and that those who don’t die in the next “30 or 40 years … will be cannibals.” As Dave Barry says, I’m not making this up. I completely agree that we should protect the environment, conserve energy and leave a better world for our grandchildren; there is no incongruity in being a conservative and a conservationist. Still, I am a “global warming skeptic. Scientists whose views run contrary to those of faux climatologists Gore and Turner are plentiful. Some dispute the global warming premise. Some accept the premise but question whether humans are at fault, or if it’s just part of nature’s rhythm. John Coleman, a TV weatherman wo founded cable’s Weather Channel and now works at KUSI-TV in San Diego, plans to sue Al Gore to settle the debate. Coleman says there’s been “perhaps a degree of warming” but that the last year has been so cold that “that’s been erased.” Following hurricanes Katrina and Rita, in 2005, we were warned that powerful hurricanes would become common. Yet, last week, Lloyd’s of London warned that a relative lack of natural and man-made disasters is pressuring insurance firms to reduce premiums. China just had its coldest winter in 100 years; North America, Siberia and Mongolia have had the most snow cover since the 1960’s. Baghdad had its first snow in recorded history. There’s been record cold in many countries and many states in America. Last fall, in a column for the conservative website michnews.com, Alan Caruba referred to posts by blogger Anthony Watts, a former TV meteorologist, indicating flaws in the placement of climate measuring stations by the U.S. National Climate Data Center. “Their global observing network,” Watts had written, “the heart and soul of surface weather measurement is a disaster.” Perhaps due to continuing objections to global warming, the term “climate change” is now the preferred term. In 1975, Newsweek magazine told us that global cooling was our impending doom: “The evidence in support of these predictions has now begun to accumulate so massively that meteorologists are hard-pressed to keep up with it.” Sound familiar? “Climatologists,” the article continued, “are pessimistic that political leaders will take any positive action to compensate for the climatic change, or even to allay its effects. They concede that some of the more spectacular solutions proposed such as melting the Artic ice cap by covering it with black soot, or diverting artic rivers, might create problems for greater than those they solve.” Are these the same geniuses that came up with ethanol, which increases carbon emissions, taxes, and food prices? We did land on the moon, and the Earth is round. I believe that our climate will change-every day-and that we all will die-someday. I’d rather eat corn than put it in my car. And I believe the odds are greater that I will be eaten by a polar bear than by Ted Turner. Terry Sater

Over 500,000 Americans died from illegal drugs brought to the U.S. from Mexico and South America, over the last 5 years. The Washington Post is irate that Pete Hegseth ordered the death of the cartel boat crews. Which deaths are YOU most concerned with?

The Seditious Six are accessories to murder. They propagated a lie that the National Guardsmen were following illegal, unlawful orders and made them targets of maniacal, deranged, TDS suffering Democrats.

President Trump is saving America. Powerful forces who have become the ruling elite oligarchy work 24/7 to destroy him in every way possible, because he is the only threat to their corruption in over 100 years!
