Climate science creates discussion in Texas

If you realize that levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are at record levels and that there has been no appreciable increase in temperature for something like 18 years, you have to wonder at the politics involved with the left-wing denial and persistence with the "climate change" (they would call it global warming if they dared) story. Here we go again, this time in Texas.

Another joke from Business Insider

I like a lot of things about Business Insider. What I don't like is when they throw out garbage about left-wing stuff that is designed to please Supreme Leader Obama, President for Life. A prime example is the story about how fracking is finished. This is a total fantasy story designed to make our extreme left-wing environmentalists happy.

Second Amendment rights

From what Marc Danziger says on Facebook, the Supreme Court doesn't agree that the Second Amendment doesn't provide a constitutionally guaranteed right to own a gun. So, at some point, is Supreme Leader Obama (President for Life) going to bring in 20 or 30,000 mercenaries from the Central African Republic and the Congo, give them Viagra, AK-47's, and thousands of rounds of ammunition. They would be sent door to door to collect all the guns and do whatever else they would like. Actually, they would need a much larger force to do the job. Even attempting to confiscate guns would mean a civil war. I know too many guys in Texas with AR-15's or AK-47's and ten or fifteen thousand rounds buried in the back yard. I am sure that there are a lot more in other states, as well. Obama would need the Taliban, Al Qaeda, the Mexican drug cartels, and the big city street gangs to even think about confiscating guns.

The Vought Crusader III

There is some weird political story behind the Vought Crusader III. A small batch of aircraft was built and they were flown from Patuxant Naval Air Station for a time. The pilots delighted in showing the aircraft's superiority to the F-4 Phantom. Those demonstrations angered a political backer of the F-4 and he forced the navy to scrap the Vought Crusader III's so that there was no chance that anyone would want to produce the aircraft as a competitor to the Phantom. I would be interested to know who it was that forced the scrapping.

We seem to be in a bad spot

I joke about this, but I think that President Obama plans to stay in power after 2016. I call him "Supreme Leader Obama, President for Life" only half-jokingly. After another decade or so of his rule, we will be almost as good as Venezuela. I am an odd sort, as I am not a Communist and am not a right-wing extremist. My parents were both Rockefeller Republicans. I am the sort that both the Communists and right-wing extremists want to stomp out. I am perfectly happy to keep living under the "benign" rule of Supreme Leader Obama. I don't want to see a fight. My concern is that when President Obama stays in power, that will provoke a fight. The one really wild card out there is the Yellowstone volcano. I expect that it will blow sometime relatively soon and everything will be devastated.

Dallas-centric stuff

Many people in Dallas hate John Wiley Price. He is the gadfly, black, Democratic Dallas County Commissioner. And yes, he is probably a crook. Obama's justice department has been harassing John Wiley Price for three years. They only want to neutralize him, not to indict him (seemingly). John Wiley Price and some Hispanic Democrat women judges are the only ones in the city of Dallas and Dallas County that are willing to stand up to the white, millionaire Democrats, mostly trial lawyers, who run the city of Dallas and Dallas County now. Their strategy is to gentrify as much as they can to drive out the poor people of color. One of the first things that they had Mayor Mike Rawlings do is to get the Black homeless of the streets of Dallas. If the rich, while millionaire Democrats don't "own you", you will have a hard time getting elected in Dallas. If they do own you, you will be floating in money. John Wiley Price really is "our man downtown", because he is one of the few independent voices left. Even Domingo Garcia is out there begging Lisa Blue to pick him up and he will do whatever she wants. That is the world we live in, whether you like it or not.
