      Froze up before I could comment.

      I remember the first Earth Day, all hippies and peace and love. Then it disappeared. Returned in the 80’s or 90’s I guess . Now it seems everyone is angry about the pushy lefties or the refusing right and climate change. Sigh.

      Earth Day took a big hit after it was discovered that one of the co-founders k*lled his girlfriend and stuffed her body in a trunk for a bit.

      Good day, Czarina! David Blackmon’s bio: 40 year veteran of the oil and gas industry. Long-time writer on energy issues. Widely recognized subject matter expert on energy. Contributor at Forbes.com, The Daily Caller, World Oil Magazine and The Petroleum Economist.

      His column at Substack is behind a registration wall; so I’ll just quote a few paragraphs….

      When the first Earth Day was held on April 22, 1970, the founders – U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson (D-WI) and activist Denis Hayes – said its purpose was to draw public attention to what was at the time “the deteriorating environment in the United States,” according to Nelson.

      To be fair, in making that assessment of America’s environmental situation 55 years ago, Nelson and Hayes weren’t wrong. Compared to today, the air and water were frankly filthy. 

      Cars at the time still ran on leaded gasoline and spewed massive amounts of particulate matter into the air each time they were driven. 

      (Snip)…improvements to America’s – and the world’s – environment can be in part attributed to the attention-raising efforts spurred into action by that very first Earth Day.

      America’s air and water both are vastly cleaner than they were in 1970 – anyone who says otherwise is frankly a liar. It isn’t close. In fact, they are both so much cleaner that the hucksters and conflict groups were forced to drop advocacy about real pollution and shift over to carbon dioxide a quarter century ago in order to keep the money flowing.

      So, while we love to make fun of Earth Day – I enjoy doing it myself, to be honest – the reality is that it has been a rousing success. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could convince its modern promoters to declare victory?

    Trump Won’t Get Tricked Into Sacrificing Pete Hegseth to the Democrats

    Kurt Schlichter – Apr 22, 2025

    Let’s get right to the heart of the Pete Hegseth fake controversy. This isn’t about some Signal chat. This isn’t about some bullSchiff newfound interest in sensitive materials-handling that didn’t manifest until it became useful as a political weapon. This is about one thing: Taking down President Donald J. Trump. This is about wounding him, belittling him, humiliating him by taking the scalp of a marquee guy he appointed, and neutering him so he can’t reform the broken Pentagon.

      Something is definitely up. I find it hard to believe that he just up and fired those three guys. I wonder if it was a test by the TDS types to see if he would toss them out without much proof.
