"One evening in early April I was waiting for my ten-year-old twin granddaughters to finish their indoor soccer practice when a girl their age approached me and said,
“Your coat looks really nice.”
It was a wet, chilly evening, and I was wearing a London Fog given me thirty years ago by an elderly widow whose deceased husband no longer had to fret about the rain or the cold.
Though I thanked the girl, her comment took me aback.

US Navy's LBGTQ-themed video touting 'correct pronouns,' gender identity, creating a 'safe space' is getting lambasted: 'You're gonna lose the next war' - TheBlaze
US Navy's LBGTQ-themed video touting 'correct pronouns,' gender identity, creating a 'safe space' is getting lambasted: 'You're gonna lose the next war' - TheBlaze:
An LBGTQ-themed video from the U.S. Navy that champions the usage of "correct pronouns," the importance of gender identity, and the goal of making a "safe space for everyone" is getting soundly ridiculed — in fact, one commenter reacting to the clip wrote to Americans that "you're gonna lose the next war."

First they came for the fish-names.....Worries over racism, waterways inspire push to rename fish | AP News
"Minnesota state Sen. Foung Hawj (D) was never a fan of the “Asian carp” label commonly applied to four imported fish species that are wreaking havoc in the U.S. heartland, infesting numerous rivers and bearing down on the Great Lakes.
But the last straw came when an Asian business delegation arriving at the Minneapolis airport encountered a sign reading “Kill Asian Carp.”
...Now some other government agencies are taking the same step in the wake of anti-Asian hate crimes that surged during the coronavirus pandemic.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service quietly changed its designation to “invasive carp” in April..."

- There also exists the dangerous likelihood, if and when Iran's regime has nuclear weapons, that they will fall into the hands of Iran's proxies and militia groups, or that the regime will share its nuclear technology with its proxies and allies, including the Syrian regime and the Taliban in Afghanistan.

"An interesting take on Electric Cars from a conversation:
In case you were thinking of buying hybrid or an electric car...
Ever since the advent of electric cars, the REAL cost per mile of those things has never been discussed. All you've ever heard was the mpg in terms of gasoline, with nary a mention of the cost of electricity to run it.
A home charging system for a Tesla requires 75 amp service.
The average house is equipped with 100 amp service.
On a small street (approximately 25 homes), the electrical infrastructure would be unable to carry more than three houses with a single Tesla each.
For even half the homes to have electric vehicles, the system would be wildly over-loaded.
This is the elephant in the room with electric vehicles..."

Lomborg: Want to alleviate world hunger? Ditch the organics
- A global food crisis is looming, so policymakers everywhere need to think hard about how to make food cheaper and more plentiful.
"That requires making a commitment to producing more fertilizer and better seeds, maximizing the potential offered by genetic modification, and abandoning the rich world’s obsession with organics.
- Russia’s brutal war in Ukraine is making less food available because the two nations have been responsible for more than a quarter of global wheat exports and big quantities of barley, corn and vegetable oil.
- On top of punishing climate policies and the world emerging from the pandemic, prices of fertilizer, energy and transport are soaring, and food prices have climbed 61% over the last two years.
- Long simply a fashionable trend for the world’s 1%, environmentalists have increasingly peddled the beguiling idea that organic farming can solve hunger. The European Union is actively pushing for a tripling of organic farming on the continent by 2030..."
US Navy Releases Bizarre Training Video Urging Recruits To Create Pronoun "Safe Space" | ZeroHedge
US Navy Releases Bizarre Training Video Urging Recruits To Create Pronoun "Safe Space" | ZeroHedge Authored by Paul Joseph Watson via Summit News,
- The US Navy has released a training video which looks like a children’s TV show encouraging sailors to announce their pronouns in order to create a “safe space” and avoid “misgendering” people.
No, this isn’t the Babylon Bee.
“Hi! My name is Jony, and I use he/him pronouns,” states one of the presenters in the training video, which is intended to highlight “the importance of using correct pronouns as well as polite etiquette when you may not be sure of someone’s pronouns,” according to the Navy.
“The nearly four-minute Navy video emphasizes how members can create “a safe space” for their colleagues by using “inclusive language” that signals they are “allies” who “accept everybody,” reports the Washington Free Beacon.
“Service members must take these steps to ensure they do not “misgender someone.” ..."
