Dear Editor,

Where did this global warming madness start? We live in the most energy impoverished region in the nation yet power plants are being shut down?! Insane EV mandates?! Here is the hidden history which conflicts with the current dogma. The Marxian left avoids this embarrassing reality like a red MAGA hat.

SAVE THE CAMELS?? Did you know it wasn’t global warming that generated our $5 trillion climate crisis industry? Nope, the opposite.

An early 1970s Brown University letter to President Richard Nixon from two geologists/ greenhorn climatologists warned of global cooling, an impending ice age, and glacial temperatures in one century bringing “substantially lowered food...

The difference between 'lay' and 'lie'

As Andy Williams reminds us once per hour on the local Christmas radio station: It’s the most wonderful time of the year. I agree — the holiday season is full of warmth and tradition, with a dash of mirth for good measure.

Conservation is done for many animals in the animal kingdom. Millions of dollars are spent each year to preserve or save one endangered species or another.

Several years ago one of those was the condor.

Pictures of helicopters hovering over nests as angry condors parents watched as conservationists raided the nest, took the fertilized egg, placed it in a padded box, and flew away with it. The egg was tenderly cared for, kept in an incubator, turned regularly, and monitored closely. If the egg had been dropped and broken it would have been considered a great loss.
