Democrats’ immorality

Dear Editor:
Well Democrats, we have additional information to show that several of your elected leaders (sic) are dragging you kicking and screaming into the abyss of increasing immorality and crudeness. Rep. Ilhan Omar has come under fresh criticism for remarks that are anti-Semitic. The Minnesota Democrat was appearing at a forum in Washington with Rep. Rashida Tlaib, of Michigan, when she said she fears everything they say about Israel is construed as anti-Semitic because they’re Muslim. But some Jewish leaders say Omar then revived an old trope about divided loyalties among Jewish-Americans when she criticized the idea that it’s “OK for people to push for allegiance to a foreign country.” Omar is the quintessential anti-sematic and pro-Taliban individual that has infested our country with their dogma of hate.
Tlaib caused an uproar on Capitol Hill by insinuating that Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., her colleague on the House Oversight and Reform Committee, had used Trump family friend Lynne Patton, an African-American, as a racist “prop” during Michael Cohen’s appearance before the panel. Later, Tlaib and Meadows were seen sharing an embrace on the House floor, after apparently resolving their differences. Remember that this is the very same individual that shortly after being elected said, “And when your son looks at you and says, ‘Momma, look you won. Bullies don’t win.’ And I said, ‘Baby, they don’t.’ Because we’re going to go in there, we’re going to impeach the (expletive).” She said that to vigorous cheers from the people around her in the video. Nice talk. I hear this four letter word used many times by many people. When I was in the Navy back in 1971 while in Scotland, I stayed at a bed and breakfast in Edinburgh. While watching TV at night in the great room, several individuals were using this word. What surprised me was that the girls used it like any other cuss word. They used it in almost every sentence. I was shocked by the caviler use of this word. This was in 1971.
I believe that when we kicked God out of the government schools in 1963, and made abortion on demand the law of the land in 1973, our slide downhill sped up. It is no wonder that this slide continued when we see the acceptance of boys and girls using the bathroom of their choice.
Fight the carbon tax insanity

Dear Editor:
I just read an interesting article on “Natural On” that NASA has stated the earth is cooling. The article stated that NASA monitored the infrared emissions from the earth’s upper atmosphere during and after a solar storm. They discovered that most of the energy released from the sun during this storm was reflected back into space, not dumped into the earth’s atmosphere. They found CO2 and nitric oxide which are green house gases that reflect energy, are causing the heat to return to space, not absorbed in the earth’s atmosphere. According to the article James Russell from Hampton University who lead the SABER study said “Carbon Dioxide and nitric oxide are natural thermostats. When the upper atmosphere or thermosphere heats up, these molecules try as hard as they can to shed that heat back into space.” What is interesting is that Dr. James Hansen retired after this information was released. Remember him, see my LTE from March 14.
When we look at the global temperatures and sun spots or high solar activity, we see a rise in temperature. While reading an article on a sun spot high that occurred in 2015 it reminded me of the NASA chart that showed a temperature high in 2016. After the sun cooled down, so did the global temps. New reports are warning of solar cooling and a grand minimum event. The last one known as the “Maunder Minimum” occurred between 1645-1715 and is called the little ice age. Scientists and groups have been warning that this is coming and some even claim it has started already. They point to the recent record breaking cold and snow storms that effected all of the northern hemisphere the last two years. With these new facts coming to light do we really want to tie our hands with a carbon tax/dividend. Hundreds of millions of people will be adversely effected and may die if we use a tax to restrict the flow of life saving energy. We need to fight this insanity with every fiber to protect our children and their futures.
