Is There A Relationship Between Global Temperature And Ocean Levels? Sure, But… | PA Pundits - International
"Alarms over rising oceans continue to sound. Politicians, actors, authors, and “climate activists” warn us regularly that the massive ice sheets in the Antarctic, and the Arctic, are melting.
...Graphic photoshopped pictures of New York skyscrapers show buildings flooded several floors high.
Shut off the alarms and let’s get back to science and examine the fundamental data and facts to see where the levels of our oceans are actually going. 
Looking at Figure 1, we immediately notice that in the last 140 years, the oceans have risen nearly ten inches, an average of seven inches per century for which visual records show to have been the case for at least the past 800 years...

Fans of Best of the Web Today--Michael Smith

"In a way, America is getting a taste of life under a centrally planned, collectivist economy and government. 

Over the past few weeks:

- People are only allowed to do the things a very few "experts" sanctioned by the state think are proper.
- Voluminous regulations are created covering every aspect of daily life and then arbitrarily and capaciously enforced.
- Those in and of the state exempt themselves from the regulations enforced on the people.
- The people bear the burden of the mistakes of the state and its experts, the state and the experts never are held accountable.
- Fear is used both as a motivator and a control.
- Enforcement is often militaristic and excessive (Meal Team 6 rolling out in an MRAP with body armor and AR-15's shutting down a small bar in Texas).
- The state has assumed control over the economy.
- The only sectors of our economy allowed to operate are those the state deems "necessary".

...like Ayn Rand or not, we are living among the pages of Rand's opus, "Atlas Shrugged".

...Take our current situation and then imagine what would happen if the Electoral College were abolished in favor of a national popular vote.

"Who is John Galt?" seems an appropriate question these days."

"It's Like Pre-Crime" - California County Launches Snatch-And-Grab COVID Spy Program | Zero Hedge
"Are you ready for this week’s absurdity?

• Ventura County, CA to hire dozens of Covid spies

"19 residents of Ventura County, California have died so far from Covid.
That’s 0.002% of the population.
...So the county government has now launched a ‘contact tracing’ initiative to hire 50 investigators, and perhaps more later, to track down people who might have Covid, “immediately isolate them,” and then “find every one of their contacts” to isolate those people as well.
They also state that, if someone has Covid and is living in a home with other family members, “we’re not going to be able to keep the person in that home. . .”
This is a mass surveillance apparatus that effectively amounts to a snatch-and-grab. 
You get a knock at the door and are forcibly removed from your home and taken away from your family because some county bureaucrat traced you to someone who might have the virus..."

KOTKIN: One Nation, Under Lockdown, Divided By Pandemic | The Daily Caller:

This pattern of infection and fatalities almost completely parallels that of our political divides, with the generally GOP dominated countryside least impacted, the suburbs only somewhat so, and the big blue cities bearing the bulk of pain. By one estimate, states with Republican governors, mostly in the South, Intermountain West, and the Great Plains have suffered one-third the rate of fatalities seen in Democratic controlled states, which tend to be denser in their settlement patterns.
