This Dutch election will really shake up the globalists in Europe, coupled with the last Swiss election, Sweden, Italy, etc. and the strong showing by anti-immigration parties in polls in places like Germany, France, and Austria. With 2/3rds of parliament upset about illegal immigration, things are going to start happening, and Nexit would be nice, too.

With all of the moves by Biden and his cronies against our Constitutional freedoms, it would be wise for all conservative run counties to declare themselves 2nd Amendment sanctuaries and form their own local militias. This is a great idea from Michigan.

"Bringing Woolly Mammoth-like creatures back to the tundra could, in theory, help recreate the steppe ecosystem more widely. Because grass absorbs less sunlight than trees, this would cause the ground to absorb less heat and in turn keep the carbon pools and their greenhouse gases on ice for longer. Large numbers of the animals would also trample snow cover, stopping it from acting like insulation for the ground and allowing the permafrost to feel the effects of the bitter Arctic winters. Again, this would, in theory, keep the ground colder for longer." Source:

Asylum rules are being widely abused by economic migrants all over the world. It is worst in western countries like the US and Europe, but as South Africa shows, it is not exclusive to western countries. Junking those asylum rules as South Africa is doing is well justified, given all the abuse of them. There is another approach as used by Hungary and that is to not allow migrants already in a safe country to enter. Even under the present asylum rules, they can be turned back and they should be.

Paper ballots provide a more honest and dependable result. It is good to see this case going forward. The fact that Argentina did away with all its voting machines and went back to paper ballots probably has a lot to do with the honest election result of the conservative candidate there.

CT: Growing trees is far more important than the so called renewables.

The USA needs to get back into the nuclear business, if for no other reason, to support the purpose of a energy secretary, or they can get rid of that one too when the time comes, and it is coming.

Stan, the Climate-Industrial Complex (great term, BTW!) that is pushing wind and solar is one of the biggest threats to trees in the world today. Scotland's government forestry office has calculated that 13.1 million trees have been cut down just on government land, not counting private land, in Scotland to build wind turbines and solar farms. That does not even count the rest of the UK, either. The "Green" Party government of the German state of Baden-Wurttemberg is turning parts of the Black Forest to sawdust to build wind farms. Real environmentalists have been called "tree huggers" for many years but those in the climate carbon cult seem to be tree haters. It is not just the Amazon, but the Climate-Industrial Complex is causing deforestation all over the world.

If they were really concerned about CO2, cutting trees down would be stupid since trees absorb CO2 in the photosynthesis process and give off oxygen. But honest scientists will tell you that CO2 has nothing to do with climate in the first place. It is a very minor greenshouse gas, and the greenhouse effect is essential to life on Earth. The most important greenhouse gas is water vapor, which accounts for over 90% of the greenhouse effect.

The climate-industrial complex tries to blame any unusual weather event on "climate change". Like the medieval church blaming such things on punishment from God, the climate alarmists want to blame them today on "punishment from manmade global warming".

A good example was a massive flood a year or two ago in a region of north western Germany, which produced higher floodwaters than any flood event in many centuries. The usual suspects immediately blamed the flood on "climate change". However, it turned out that the main culprit in the severity of the flooding was something that very commonly causes floods to get worse, deforestation. The reason for the deforestation was also telling. THe trees were cut down to make space to build wind turbines and solar farms. So, it was actually climate hysteria that caused the bad flooding, NOT "climate change".

Hood: There was a Little Ice Age between about 1303 AD and 1850 AD when temperatures raised about 3.5 Degrees.

Concerned Taxpayer is on to this thing about weather. Glaciers at Washington, DC 17,000 years ago, been warming ever since. I guess these warming alarmists are praying for another ice age.

The damage done by Authoritarian Cooper, in his incredibly poor handling of Covid by and through his unconstitutional Emergency Powers Act, was years ago, and finally the people of North Carolina need someone to blame because of the tremendous damage done by the elongated shut down without the data to do so.

This is why one should never vote for a Democratic Socialist, whose main campaign tactic is his opponent refused to wear a mask.
