Trumka Jr. Is the son of a union thug - former head of United Mine Workers and the AFL/CIO. I am sure Jr. is extremely knowledgeable about consumer safety and didn’t get his position because of his family name.

I joke. Sorry.

When I first saw his name tied to that story about gas ovens, I immediately knew the story was true. Trumka’s name gave the plan away.

Like the other non-conspiracy theories discussed here, never believe the gubment story. the gubment is not led by the best and brightest (I HATE that term), but by wanna be dictator bullshit artists.

“What’s the difference between a conspiracy theory and reality? About six months.”

The poll had me choosing between two whoppers. I needed a third choice - both.

1. It is disgusting to see how cavalier Lefty "science" gets when they say mercury, a deadly poison, just evaporates into the air. As if Mercury vapor in the Earth's atmosphere was a benign result.

Yet CO2, plant life, is bad ?

2. In any place where you get cold weather, incandescent light bulbs provided light and heat. You used to be able to keep outdoor water pumps warm with incandescent bulbs, but by government edict, that practical solution is gone. So now you can buy your LEDs from China.

Tell me again what country built our enemy - China ?

Conspiracy has been a thing since before Saul promised not to kill David. Psalm 35 has some great prayers for salvation from your persecutors.

I must be a foolish right winger too.

Here in NZ we have had two tropical cyclones in the past month dropping huge volumes of water over the North Island. Major flooding. Slips, bridges washed away, power lines brought down.

Fortunately no major loss of life although every death is a tragedy.

Cue the lefty chant: Climate change. Climate change.

True.

Climate always changes, always has, always will, and not necessarily to our advantage.

No matter what we do, whatever hair shirt we pull on, however many windmills we build, the weather will do what it does regardless.

There will always be extreme weather events.

We could have spent money clearing drains. We could have toughened our infrastructure, put more power lines underground.

But no, we built hundreds of cycle ways instead.

We promoted electric cars and apparently will ban the import of petrol and diesel vehicles sometime over the next decade.

Today slips are being cleared by diesel diggers and bulldozers, while electric cars sit idle because the power lines are down.

I would have thought that the function of government was to prepare for actual inevitable disasters rather than waste billions on feeding unicorns.

But what would I know?

I’m just a foolish old right-winger.

So, the hedge terms are repeated ad nauseum in order to convince the public of The Narrative.

Foolish rightwingers? I rate this as untrue. Other fact-checking organizations would disagree, but I have a superior rating and checking system. It's called common sense.

With this beautiful opus and Tucker's monologue last night, could it be any clearer that the government hates Americans, especially white ones. Unfortunately, the young uneducated population will embrace Marxism until they cannot. As the readers of this column and others with right of center views die off at a rate equal to the WWII vets, our world will not turn into 1984, but rather that of the future in Well's Time Machine.

The government will never do that again? You forgot your /sarc tag, Don. I could hear the way you typed it! Great column again. Huffington Post? WOW!

Foolish right-wingers do what lefties don’t. Use their brains and logic, then arrive at a correct conclusion.

I am hoping I am still here 15 years from now when HuffPO reminds us that we used to think electric cars were safe.

"Remember, the answer to the question what did socialists use before they used candles is electricity."

Spot on!

Similarly, the answer to the question, "What did wealthy socialists drive before they drove electric cars?" is gasoline.

Extending this, a little – if CFLs, and LEDs turn out to be equally bad (but for different reasons), with the common denominator being electricity (the vast majority of which is generated by coal), and electricity is banned eventually, the answer to the question, "What did wealthy socialists drive before they drove horse-drawn buggies?" is, of course, electric cars.
