Remember the Climate!
Obama orders Pentagon, generals and admirals to make climate change Job One Paul Driessen Military triumphs and catastrophes have often hinged on how well (or luckily) armies and navies employed, avoided or benefited from weather and other natural events. Severe storms helped the British navy defeat Spain’s Armada in 1588. George Washington knew horrid weather […]
Tax oil to subsidize wind?
Obama wants to punish oil industry to advance climate agenda. So do Hillary, Bernie and Mike Paul Driessen If you want more of something, mandate it, subsidize it and exempt it from regulations. If you want less of something, punish it with taxes and regulations. Put more bluntly, the power to tax and regulate is the […]
Obama’s 0.7 percent “solution”
Obama, Democrats and bureaucrats bury America’s future under more federal regulations Paul Driessen America’s abysmal 0.7% economic growth during the fourth quarter of 2015 meant the annual growth rate was an anemic 2.4% … and average annual growth for the six-year Obama era a pathetic 2.2 percent. This is “dead last compared to six other […]
The heat is on!
Why should Volkswagen be investigated for emission deception, but not government agencies? Paul Driessen The heat is on! Not the unusual winter warmth in much of the United States – but the unrelenting heat generated by propaganda and pressure campaigns that the White House, EPA, Big Green and news media are unleashing in the wake of […]
Government Gold King’s whitewash
Double standards and pollution continue, while the feds exonerate themselves from blame Paul Driessen When a private citizen or company violates rules, misrepresents facts or pollutes a river, government penalties are swift and severe. It’s different when the government lies or screws up. Two weeks ago, Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell testified before Congress on […]
A new strategy for tax cheats
You can guess what would happen if you used the same tactics that climate alarmists employ Paul Driessen Suppose you’ve been using some creative data, accounting and legal interpretations for years to reduce your tax bill – and the IRS suddenly flags you for a full-blown audit. Instead of trembling in your boots, shredding your records, […]
Turkeys we’re not thankful for
The tasty birds are affordable. Government turkeys enrich crony corporatists, but cost us dearly. Paul Driessen To commemorate Thanksgiving – and garner First Family photo ops –presidents often host Rose Garden ceremonies, where they “pardon” a turkey, before sitting down to dine on one of its cousins. In fact, Americans ate close to 50 million […]
Leading on Paris climate treaty?
We should lead from behind – instead of with brains in our behinds – on this new Treaty of Paris Paul Driessen What an unpalatable irony. The 1783 Treaty of Paris ended the Revolutionary War and created the United States. The 2015 Treaty of Paris could end what’s left of our democratic USA – and […]
EPA unleashes health-hammering ozone rules
It may be incompetence overseas, but in USA Obama intends to reduce jobs and living standards Paul Driessen A federal worker named Bob recently called our local talk-radio station, outraged that a failed budget deal could cause a government shutdown that leaves him unable to pay his bills. He blamed Republicans, failed to mention that compromise also involves […]
Climate alarmists want us prosecuted under RICO
Losing the climate science battle, climate alarmists want government to silence skeptics Paul Driessen They haven’t employed the thumb screws, rack or auto-da-fe that churches and states once used to interrogate, silence and eliminate heretics and witches. However, global warming alarmists are well practiced in the modern equivalents, to protect their $1.5-trillion Climate Crisis Industry. […]
