History Notes this week of Dec 1

267 AD: Traditional date of the martyrdom of Saint Barbara.

That is Army guys with […]

Ice Covers 6 million Square Miles of the Earth

This week, National Geographic, continuing its slide into irrelevance, published an article on Arctic ice melt. It was the usual apocalyptic-catastrophic rhetoric meant to frighten people into economically untenable political policy. However, ice cover is dynamic and always changing. According to the National Snow and Ice Data Center (nsidc.org), ice currently covers 6 million square […]

Opinion: Pelosi announces formal surrender of US to IPCC

Opinion by Paul Plante Yes, people, that is the gist as I understand it of a breaking news story in The Hill that announced that Speaker of the House and Democrat faction leader and San Francisco, California Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi and a whole passel of Democrats created a huge cloud of noxious and toxic carbon […]

Is Climate Change Rhetoric hurting more than helping?

Recently, environmental journalist Bill McKibben suggested climate-driven fires in Australia had made koalas “functionally extinct.” The group Extinction Rebellion said “Billions will die” and “Life on Earth is dying.” Vice claimed the “collapse of civilization may have already begun.”  Apocalyptic statements like these are having an effect on young people. In September, a group of British psychologists said children are increasingly suffering from anxiety […]

Global Warming Petition Project Rejects hypothesis of human-caused global warming

No such consensus or settled science exists. As indicated by the petition text and signatory list, a very large number of […]

Why 2nd Amendment Sanctuary Counties?

On November 5th, control of both the House and Senate of the Virginia General Assembly flipped to Democrat control. The Virginia Democrats owe a huge debt to Michael Bloomberg for the millions he poured into the state, and they are returning the favor by pushing extreme, unconstitutional infringements on gun owners. Examples include magazine capacity limits, outright […]

In southern Ukraine, along the Dnieper River, is the city of […]

Chemistry, Thermodynamics, and Sea-Level Rise

“You see, technically, chemistry is the study of matter, but I prefer to see it as the study of change: Electrons change their energy levels. Molecules change their bonds. Elements combine and change into compounds. But that’s all of life, right? It’s the constant, it’s the cycle. It’s solution, dissolution. Just over and over and […]

Opinion: On NOAA, Contrived Science and the IPCC

Special Opinion by Paul Plante.

Virginia Legislators Introduce Confiscatory Gun Ban

Michael Bloomberg’s bought and paid for Virginia legislators have wasted no time introducing legislation that would make the Old Dominion’s gun laws worse than those of the billionaire’s home state of New York. SB 16, introduced by Sen. Richard L. Saslaw, would create a total ban on commonly-owned semi-automatic firearms, like the AR-15. Even worse, […]
