  2. OOPS, Someone Didn’t Carry The One

    California is the most inept state in the entire United States. Others are running a close second, but California politicians, especially under the Newsom administration, carry an unusual sense of smugness and arrogance. They constantly make huge errors in judgment involving everything from trans gendering children to releasing criminals as fast as they are arrested. They have never seen a tax they didn’t love. They supply needles and drugs to addicts, they allow theft, up to a preset dollar amount, they encourage the homeless to encamp on public sidewalks, and allow them to urinate and defecate, ruining local businesses.

    Indigenous activist Hans McCarthy won a landmark court ruling that reaffirms the right of individual First Nations band members to access documents regarding their community’s money.

However, rather predictably, cracks have started to appear. (1)

  5. The Bureaucratic Charade of UN Climate Conferences

    The greatest irony of the yearly United Nations climate conferences, the most recent of which, COP30, wrapped up last weekend in Belem, Brazil, is the huge number of delegates flying into an event that preaches massive restrictions on flying. For example, when I attended COP15, the United Nations’ 15th major climate conference in 2009 in Copenhagen, I was astonished to find that, at about 30,000 attendees, it was literally the biggest conference in world history, up to that time.
