Perfectly phrased by John Kerry’s nonsensical plaint that the Russian invasion of Ukraine will increase the combustion rate of fossil fuels is the abject silliness of the whole concept of anthropogenic global warming (AGW). Particularly recent U.S. policies against fracking, pipelines, coal, and internal combustion engines have placed us at a severe strategic disadvantage.
It has taken only a couple of days for it to become common knowledge that such policies have seriously enriched Vladimir Putin. The grotesque human price of such a debacle will continue to mount, as will resentment for the foolish notion that weather can be subject to political influence.
This is not a turning point. There has long been a lot of skepticism of the AGW fear campaign. It is now my opinion that the die has finally been cast, and the dogmatic adherents of the obvious fraud are rapidly becoming politically irrelevant. And John Kerry is their poster boy, Al Gore having bungled away his credibility some years ago.
A common thread among the AGW lobby is their profound ignorance of earth science, and of the scientific method itself. Something as speculative as a long-range weather prediction can never be considered “settled science.” Yes, I studied climatology in college (though it was not my major). And before that, I was in a special high school science program, where I studied paleontology.
What is not mentioned often enough is that weather is chaotic. It is the constant interaction of multiple planetary forces that include ocean currents, jet streams, seasonal changes, and variable air pressure. Add to this the external influences of the solar intensity cycle and the gravitational pull of the moon.
Also, one cannot study paleontology without realizing the immense variability of weather and climate over the eons of earth’s existence, from ice ages to giant reptiles thriving in […]

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
