It’s like I keep saying: Doing Something about ‘climate change’ may be popular in theory, but, when push comes to shove, it’s not particularly important in Real Life. Poll after poll after poll confirms that when you stack it up against real world issues it comes in very low in terms of people’s actual concerns What About Climate Change? NJ Voters Push Issue to Backseat in Governor’s Race Taxes, economy, COVID, education, healthcare, abortion, immigration, and down the line you go before climate change pops up as the “one most important issue in this year’s election” for New Jersey voters polled recently. Just 3 of 544 voters surveyed by the Stockton University Polling Institute marked it as their most important issue ahead of the Nov. 2 gubernatorial election in New Jersey. Incumbent Phil Murphy is seeking to become the first Democratic governor re-elected in the Garden State since 1977 . He faces former state Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli, a Republican. Climate change placed 27th out of 31 issues offered as options for voters who took the Stockton survey. Oops! People in NJ were most concerned with property taxes and general taxes. Things that are real, rather than Doom from bad weather which has always occurred. Monmouth Poll Director Patrick Murray said climate change didn’t rank high in an August poll of voters in New Jersey and Virginia , the only two states with governor’s races this November. “Back in August, we asked open-ended questions in both New Jersey and Virginia about voters’ most important issues. ‘Environment’ (which includes climate) was named by no more than 5% in either state,” Murray said in an email. He added, “None of the candidates in either state are focusing their messages on climate change.” It’s a shame that ‘climate change’ is included with questions on the environment, because the environment is important, and that question often does well when it doesn’t include ‘climate change’. Anyhow, ask people in theory, they’ll say it’s important (they’ll also tell you they don’t want to spend their own money on it or make changes to their own lives). […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
