SCIENCE OR POLITICS

     Our President just told the G-7 group that Global Warming was the greatest threat to our nation. He apparently did not hear the news of about fifteen years ago when the Global Warming became Climate Change because the earth had not warmed for fifteen years in a row. The temperature of the earth had stayed the same and that caused the Global Warming enthusiasts like Al  Gore to change the name to Climate Change to keep his theory alive and the money rolling in. NOAA or the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration decided to do something about the earth's temperature and changed the way they read the ocean buoy temperature reporting. They said that the readings were too low because of the water evaporating and causing a cooling effect therefore the temperature readings were interpolated higher than the actual reading causing the earth's temperature to rise all of a sudden. The fallacy in the maneuver was that it did not matter what or how the readings were interpreted but that they remained the same which would indicate that there was no change up or down. The change in reading satisfied those that had made Climate Change their religion and we are now seeing the world tasking us with future energy problems to solve it. It was really odd that Biden would tell the G-7 this since the USA is the only country that has continually reduced carbon emissions. During the Trump administration we reduced carbon in the atmosphere at a greater rate than we had promised to under former administrations but now this has become the greatest danger to us.

MASKS OR NOT

     Its been over a year that we have been told to were masks over our noses and mouth to prevent the spread of Covid 19. We have heard many opinions and scientific reasons for the need of wearing them but with many disagreements between the scientists and politicians. The virus has given the politicians a new power that most have never seen before and the politicians like it. Many are continuing to use it even when the pandemic is nearly over and the spread is very small. The controversy over the use of masks continues after the CDC tells us that if vaccinated or recovered from the virus there is no need to wear masks. My coffee shop is still asking for masks and my Church is still requiring reservations with your temperature taken and signing in. They have limited attendance to about 25% capacity and seem to think that they have become permanent television preachers. Sad and has forced me to attend another Church.

1st 100 DAYS by BRANCH

     The following letter was written by my friend Dallas Branch. He submitted the letter to the editor of the Dominion Post to be included in the Opinion Section of the paper. It was rejected as mine was a few years ago which was the reason that I started Letters by John. After spending an  afternoon on the shooting range Dallas told me about his letter and I replied that I would be willing to post it in my blog as a guest letter. Enjoy.

JOBS BILL CON JOB

     The title says it all. After spending 2 trillion dollars on a supposedly stimulus bill Biden wants 2 trillion more for infrastructure and then about 2 trillion for jobs. He will have spent more in his first half year than the 2 previous presidents and all of it goes to the deficit.  Jobs bill is a joke and mainly a coverup for the green new deal. I will not capitalize it because it is purely a marxist agenda and does little to create jobs.

PRIVILEGE: BLACK OR WHITE

     We have been hearing a lot about white privilege lately and I have been trying to understand what the purpose of this onslaught is about. Racism and privilege  has suddenly become the main theme in our every day news cycles and is the basis for many of the decisions being made by politicians and even large companies. I understand what the word "privilege" means but do not understand how it can be assigned to only one race of people in the universe unless those assigning it really believe that white (not including Hispanics) are better than all of the others and have somehow been able to prove it through time. Kind of a silly thought is it not? Well I want to start this blog with a story about two young boys growing up in a dairy farming region in central New York. Billy is black and Johnny is white and they both live in a small town of one block with a village green along one of the streets. Billy lives around the corner from Johnny and both have great parents and siblings. At twelve years old Billy starts to ride with his father on his morning milk route picking up milk cans from farmers and taking them to the creamery. Soon Billy is helping and picking up cans of milk at about 100 lbs. each and putting them on the truck. Not long after he started to work his father started to let him drive the truck. Billy had a job at twelve years old and would continue on with this duty for years.
