Climate: America elected Donald, not Ivanka, Trump
A week before the inauguration, I mentioned that Rex Tillerson was basically the main honorary climate alarmist in the Trump administration. Well, it is true if you only look at the official "secretaries", not all the people who have lots of genuine power. If you look at all the people, the main obstacle for the restoration of climate sanity in the U.S. is the most beloved kid of Donald Trump among the five, Ivanka Trump. She isn't a lukewarmer like Tillerson – she is a downright climate alarmist. Because Melania Trump stayed in New York with her and the president's son Barron, Ivan... more »

A Week Of Poverty

Some people were left with only the clothes on their backs. When the soldiers burst into the Rosenbaum home, they took the family’s one ... more »

3 ways to fix a broken news industry
Something is very wrong with the news industry.

Trump has new guidelines to enforce immigration laws and deport people who are illegally here, and yet the MSM calls them “undocumented” or simply “immigrants.” The MSM will not use the term “illegal immigrant” or “illegal alien” because it destroys the false narrative and would reinforce the idea that people break the law to come to America.

The Tomb of the Fairy Queen Maeve
*[image: Meadb's cairn at the summit of Knocknarea]* The reality of Queen Maeve would today be impossible to reconstruct unless a completely new reference source popped up. She was a source of ancient legend and then on top of that she was obviously appropriated when the surge of creative literary interest about the fairy realm arose in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and has not really died down. All that legend making surely attached itself to this obvious burial mound in Ireland. Makes a great story at least to sell tickets and yet another source of legend making.... more »

This item reminds us of how that all worked out in the past. More troubling is that the mainstream media has become utterly irresponsible and... more »
In California farm country, Trump’s deportation threat looms large

I know we have done something like that in Canada and it also included proper implementation of minimum wages. That saw some prices rise but then so what!. the consumer can live with that. In fact better prices would bring out local labor as well. Labor prices and food prices are long overdue to be rationalized and faux consumer arguments need to be jettisoned.

Seeking truth among 'alternative facts'
Peter Neal Peregrine, Professor of Anthropology and Museum Studies, Lawrence University at Politics + Society – The Conversation - 1 day ago
Part of what I do as an archaeologist is judge between competing claims to truth. Indeed, you could say this is the entire purpose of science. Before we make a judgment about what is true, there are facts that have to be examined and weighed against one another. When Trump’s senior advisor Kellyanne Conway made her now infamous reference to “alternative facts,” many viewers were stunned. But I am a scientist. I spend my days trying to pull “facts” out of the remains of the past. After thinking about what Conway said, I realized that it was not ridiculous at all. There are always ... more »

Called the “largest interconnected machine,” the U.S. electricity grid is a complex digital and physical system crucial to life and commerce in this country. Today, it is made up of more than 7,000 power plants, 55,000 substations, 160,000 miles of high-voltage transmission lines and millions of miles of low-voltage distribution lines. This web of generators, substations and power lines is organized into three major interconnections, operated by 66 balancing authorities and 3,000 different utilities. That’s a lot of power, and many possible vulnerabilities. The grid has been vulne... more »
