On Monday, September 14, Kamala Harris, speaking at a small business roundtable in Arizona, touted economic plans under a “Harris administration.” Was this an inadvertent error or a Freudian slip? She quickly caught her error, but I’m betting the latter for reasons discussed last week.
Perhaps he [Biden] knows that his new progressive allies would be happy for him to win them a presidency but even happier for him to then disappear as soon as possible.—Victor Davis Hanson, September 6, 2020, New York Post Previous readers of this blog will long since have understood my view that there are very

Guest Post by Just Beau The future of climate alarmism as a political movement is problematic. Even once warm fads grow tired in time, their allure cooling. The goal of replacing industrial emissions of C02 via reliance on solar and wind technologies is implausible. After three decades, alarmism seems ever harder to sell, outside the

This lack of data prior to he advent of satellite temperature data is a
