A Plea For Climate Sanity

It was an absolute pleasure to be a return guest on the Tom Nelson Podcast!

Tom graciously provided me with over an hour to present a PowerPoint presentation based on content found in my book, Climate Cult: Exposing and Defeating Their War on Life, Liberty, and Property.

We discussed everything from the absolute hoax regarding CO2 being a deadly pollutant, to the attempts to modify the climate via solar geo engineering. And, of course, I provided jaw-droppers from the book that convincingly illustrate how direct disciples of Marx founded the modern environmentalist movement.

Not only do I believe you will enjoy this podcast, but I hope you will help get the word out by sharing it.

Thanks, and many blessings to you!

PS: Not surprisingly, YouTube has somehow prevented me from sharing the link to the podcast, so instead I’m linking to Tom’s lesser known Rumble account.

God Extends Mercy to America

Mercy implies not getting what you deserve.

Certainly the United States has drifted far off the course originally defined in our founding motto of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. In my book, Climate Cult: Exposing and Defeating Their War on Life, Liberty, and Property, I fully explain the Biblical roots of our inalienable rights expressed in that sacred motto. However, ungodly liberals have steadily eroded those rights replacing life with abortion, liberty with their absurd “separation of church and state” mantra, and the pursuit of happiness by infringing on property rights via regulation, bureaucracy and taxation.

In addition, private American charity has brought great aid to much of the impoverished world, and Christian organizations have poured extensive resources in to spreading the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ to the farthest reached of the planet. The left, or course, sees such actions as foolishness. They would rather send billions of dollars in taxpayer funds to  “aid” countries that dole the cash to tyrants, dictators, oligarchs, and criminals.

But God has given us another chance to get things rights. The Lord spared Donald Trump from death for such a time as this.

Last night he clearly won the presidency, and fellow republicans took the House and Senate (not to forget gaining a lead in governorships across the nation). We now have an opportunity to roll back insane laws and regulations that have stifled our inalienable rights, allowing the socialists in the Democrat Party to gain more control over our lives.

Now we must continue in prayer.

Fervent prayer.

The left is going to try their damndest to put Trump in prison for those ridiculous, unfounded, so-called “criminal” charges.

We must also pray for a genuine revival that witnesses millions of people embracing faith in Jesus as their Lord.

Meantime, the radicals are planning to take action. An opinion piece in this morning’s Washington Post was headlined, The Second Resistance to Trump Must Start Right Now. “He will probably be even more extreme, radical and cruel in his second term than he was in his first,” declares the screed, written by the paper’s editorial board.

What does the rest of the world think? Well, my friends in Nigeria are thrilled with Trump’s victory. They vividly recall when President Trump bluntly asked their former president, “Why are you killing Christians?” My friends in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, South America, and Great Britain are also very excited. They know how much influence a US President can have on their countries.

Good or bad.

But we’re praying for good.

Mercy.

Let’s embrace it.

The Victory Speech We Don’t Want to Hear

As a member of the San Francisco media, I’ve been watching Kamala Harris since 2003 when she ran for District Attorney against the incumbent DA, Terrence Hallinan. First, she was accused of being tactless for running against the man who hired her as a deputy attorney several years earlier. Then, it was discovered she won by seriously violating campaign finance laws.

Even by San Francisco standards, Harris’s eight-years as DA pushed the progressive envelope. She protected illegal immigrant drug dealers from prison with her “smart on crime” initiative, expunging their criminal records and providing them job training. One person from the program went on to assault a woman, breaking her skull.

When an El Salvadorian MS-13 gang member murdered a father and his two sons, Harris adamantly refused to enforce California’s death penalty. The killer was in the US illegally and had been arrested for numerous gang-related offenses as a juvenile. I’ll never forget the call I received on my radio program from the grieving widow who lost her husband two boys. She was outraged by Harris’s inflexibility.

Curious, I discovered Kamala’s dad was a leftist professor emeritus at Stanford (specializing in post-Keynesian economics), and that he met her mom while they were student activists at the University of California-Berkeley during the hippy/counterculture movement.  Harris, I figured, was cut from their radical cloth and gravitated to the judicial system with lofty goals to end alleged disparate outcomes, structural racism, and mass incarceration.

When running for California’s Attorney General, I heard Harris use an odd phrase she has employed many times since: “To see what could be, unburdened by what has been.” Kamala has since explained it’s a slogan her mother used to employ. While many have taken a stab at the meaning of this peculiar sentence, it’s possible it’s a catchphrase inspired by Karl Marx. For example, in his 1848 Communist Manifesto, Marx wrote: In bourgeois society, therefore, the past dominates the present; in Communist society, the present dominates the past.

Marx perceived the past as representing of a system of slavery driven by capitalism, which he wanted to replace with communism.

I contend Kamala dreams of a similar world.  I recently listened to her 2016 Senate victory speech presented to staff and supporters on election night. Her brief remarks make it vividly clear she has an ax to grind with America’s past and she is ready to see what could be.

“We know the stakes are high,” she said. “Do we retreat, or do we fight? I say we fight. And I intend to fight!”

In the span of eight fiery minutes, she used the term “fight” 33 times.

“I intend to fight for a state that has the largest number of immigrants, documented and undocumented, of any state in this country and do everything we can to bring them justice and dignity and fairness under the law and pass comprehensive immigration reform. Bring them out from under the shadows,” she exclaimed. “I intend to fight for Black Lives Matters…I intend to fight for a woman’s access to health care and reproductive health right. I intend to fight against those naysayers who suggest that there is no such thing as climate change…I intend to fight big oil, I intend to fight the science deniers…our ideals are at stake right now and we all have to fight!”

She closed her remarks stating, “I believe this is a pivotal moment in the history of our country. I believe we’re at an inflection point. I believe we are at a place that is similar to that place in time when my parents met when they were graduate students at UC Berkeley in the 60s and active in the civil rights movement…”

Appears the apple didn’t fall far from the tree.

I encourage you to review the speech for yourself. May it inspire you to get out the vote and pray she doesn’t have the opportunity to repeat any portion of that speech on November 7.

We’re In Trouble, Unless…

I was raised to love this country. My dad’s father was sent was sent to America from Eastern Europe in the early 1900’s. The early winds of communism and antisemitism were blowing, and my great-grandparents wanted their family line to have a chance to flourish.

Incredibly, my grandfather was only a young teen when he lawfully came, by himself, to America. He was told by his parents, “Learn English, get a job, send for your brother.”

He quickly learned to read, write and speak English. He also got a job. However, he never was able to send for his brother. Best we can tell his family was murdered during the heinous reigns of Vladimir Lenin and, later, Hitler.

To say my parents loathed socialism, and its goal, communism, is an understatement. I feel the exact same way. It’s why long ago I made the move from TV News to conservative talk radio in San Francisco; I wanted to make a difference.

But all these many years later, my heart aches like never before for my country. The ideals of Karl Marx have been steadily sown into the fabric of American government, education, and media. This progressive leftist agenda has cleaved to a slogan originally held in high esteem by the London Fabian Society: Festina Lente, Latin for “make haste slowly.” Founded in 1884, the Fabians believed socialism would best be instituted by mastering each step rather than rushing through to the ultimate goal.

Indeed, their radical brethren in the United States have been patiently gaining hold of the levers of power and influence ever since. As such, the American Founders’ hope for limited federal government has been dashed with many stokes; for years the US government has been the largest employer in not just the nation, but the world. Creeping socialism helped birth the Federal Reserve, the military-industrial complex, and the Deep State. It also brought forth the anti-US United Nations and the World Economic Forum. In my new book, Climate Cult: Exposing and Defeating Their War on Life, Liberty, and Property, I reveal documents illustrating the subversive business arrangement that has been brokered by the UN and WEF to further their Marxist aspirations.

The left’s mark on the USA is abysmal. That’s why they loath you, and me, and our MAGA movement. We simply want to reclaim what made this country great.

Now, allow me to share my current heartache.

This past weekend I saw the undercover film produced by James O’Keefe, Line in the Sand. It reveals the far-flung illegal immigration problem plaguing America. What O’Keefe boldly shows us is an ugly, evil, multi-billion-dollar international industry (largely funded by the American taxpayer) that seeks to destroy the United States as we have known her. It’s not just the horrid child trafficking, drug cartels, and violent gangs. It’s not just the Non-Governmental Organizations sucking up federal funds to aid and abet this criminal immigration. Instead, what really turned my stomach were the throngs of individuals employed in this subhuman industry, many of whom looked directly at O’Keefe’s cameras, shrugging their shoulders, saying, “I’m just doing my job.”

The most horrendous acts in world history have been accomplished because of similar heartless attitudes.

A Trump presidency has the potential to seriously curtail this putrid industry and turn the Marxist tide—we must win!

In the meantime, liberals are patiently waiting to bring in more impoverished people, create a reliable voting Democrat block, further institute their diversity, equity and inclusion dogma, and put a communist dagger into the back of Uncle Sam.

How can we best respond?

First, we must dig in to get out the vote.

Second, when stating the slogan, “Make America Great Again” we should preface it with two words: “Please, God.”

Hurricane Facts vs Climate Fiction

This article by Brian Sussman originally appeared at American Thinker

Following two back-to-back hurricanes that severely pummeled the Southeastern United States, climate activists have swooped in like vultures, blaming political conservatives for the destruction wrought by Helene and Milton. At MSNBC, Chris Hayes spouts, “We have known for decades that our planet is warming and that we would start seeing the brutal effects. But conservatives remain so deep in their denial that they are flailing around for anyone or anything else to blame.”

While many attempt to falsely connect hurricanes to anthropogenic climate change, the truth is these monster storms are a natural and necessary function of our planet’s atmosphere. But that didn’t prevent CNN from posting a piece wildly declaring, “Helene was supercharged by ultra-warm water made up to 500 times more likely by global warming.”

Hurricane season in the Atlantic Ocean traditionally begins on June 1, as the waters near the equator warm generally have warmed to near 80 degrees Fahrenheit, the minimum temperature required for a hurricane to form. Water temperature is often considered the fuel for a hurricane because as the warm water evaporates it subsequently condenses within the storm releasing latent heat. However, there are a multitude of other factors that must be present for hurricane formation including a storm’s distance from the equator, light winds blowing into the center of the storm, high humidity values, and something we refer to as the “saturated adiabatic lapse rate” which is basically the rate at which saturated air cools with altitude. When all of these ingredients are in perfect sync, a hurricane begins to form.

Dr. Neil Frank, longtime head of the National Hurricane Center, contends the total number hurricanes each year ebbs and flows in sixty-year cycles. On the average, each year there are ten tropical storms (wind speeds less than 74-mph) that develop over the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and Gulf of Mexico. Six of these storms become hurricanes (wind speeds of 74-mph or more).  In an average 3-year period, roughly five hurricanes strike the United States coastline, killing approximately 50 to 100 people anywhere from Texas to Maine. Of these, two are typically major hurricanes (winds greater than 110 mph).

The cover endorsement for my recent book, Climate Cult: Exposing and Defeating Their War on Life, Liberty and Property, was written by Dr. Frank. He contends there is no evidence suggesting we are seeing more hurricanes than ever (over the past 170 years of records), and he insists the frequency and intensity of hurricanes has not changed over years.  Additionally, Dr. Frank reminds us that hurricanes are a beneficial component of the overall global atmosphere as they act as mechanisms which draw hot air from the earth’s equatorial regions into the jet stream which then transports the natural warmth to the colder latitudes. This allows for expansive and comfortable temperate zones, where most of us live.

But why do recent storms seem worse than ever?

The answer is threefold.

First, there is no doubt property damage, in terms of dollars, is on the rise. This trend is driven by the continued development of expensive property along the coasts putting more value at risk of wind and water damage. Also, flooding has increased due to residential and commercial properties edging right up to the water’s edge. Under these modern circumstances, any given hurricane would cause more damage than it would have in the past. Sadly, the same could be said for the number of lives lost during these storms.

Second is media coverage. Back when I was presenting the weather for both CBS-TV News and KPIX-TV in San Francisco, content producers knew severe weather gains eyeballs. It’s still true on TV today.

Third, there is the ad nauseam, agenda driven propaganda put forth by activists attempting to pin their climate fiction hoax on deadly hurricanes.  

But why is Florida seemingly often in the crosshairs?

Because the “Sunshine State” is a sitting duck. It’s a 500-mile long, 160-mile-wide peninsula extending into the warm waters of the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico with 1,146 miles of coastline and an average elevation of a mere 100-feet. Given that the average hurricane is about 300-miles-wide, the Florida peninsula is a prime target for potential disaster. As a result, during this 2024 season, of the nine hurricanes formed to date, four have hit the United States with two terribly striking Florida.
