The actions needed
 
2022 convinced many of us that global warming is for real and will get worse unless responsible politicians quit spreading politically motivated misinformation and disinformation.
 This year, category 4 Hurricane Ian ripped out roads and bridges and dumped a record 20 inches of rain in a few hours. On March 22, an EF 3 tornado with 160 MPH winds decimated Louisiana. And In Seminole County Oklahoma, one tornado after another struck in one day! Although the tornado trend we’re experiencing includes longer stretches of quiet weather, active days are becoming far more deadly!

 In Eastern Kentucky more than 16 inches of rain fell in 5 days, which is, “historically unheard of.” And presently we’re being hit with a winter storm affecting more than 160 million Americans with record cold temperatures and up to 50 MPH wind gusts! Many record warm temps were also recorded – California experienced 44 days above 100 F. and set a record 116 F in sept. Worldwide, the situation is similar, with major flooding in Pakistan, and wildfires in Spain and Portugal!

Weather variability isn’t “caused” by Global warming, but it makes naturally occurring events far more intense and severe, i.e. heat waves, Monsoon winds, record heat, and even record breaking winter blizzards! Forty years ago scientists told us that AGW would (at first), increase the frequency of world weather extremes.

We’re now in this situation thanks to decades of misinformation and lies spread by powerful conservative think tanks, and the continuous resistance of Congressional Republicans, while our newspapers foolishly failed to factcheck letters, which only allowed AGW deniers more room to spread unfounded lies! What should we do? First, we should educate ourselves with real facts about global warming, and--to put it bluntly--we need to quit electing power hungry conservative politicians!

New Robin Hood
Historically, Robin Hood has held a prominent place  in  the American culture for decades. Many movies have been produced about Robin Hood. The philosophy of Robin Hood to “steal from the rich and give to the poor” is the same for the DNC and radical left. Remember AOC’s met gala dress with the huge letters stating “tax the rich”? Now, AOC is under investigation for congressional ethics violations!

Now America has a new Robin Hood by the name of Elon Musk. His mission though is a bit different, to promote the 1st Amendment of “free speech”! We will now learn the truth about Twitter’s decision to block the Hunter Biden laptop story just weeks prior to the 2020 Presidential election. Surveys have shown that 10-15% of voters would not have voted for Joe Biden if they knew the details of Hunter’s laptop! This was absolutely “election interference” and Joe Biden should not have become President.

 Many on the left continue to whine about the MAGA folks complaining about election fraud but election interference (by big tech, FBI, CIA, DOJ, the media, etc. ) is much worse! Thank you Elon Mush for exposing this interference! I wonder how Musk will look in tights? Update: now Musk will step down from the CEO title. I guess the tights were too tight?
