Every day there seems to be new evidence that terminal insanity has taken over what is left of western civilization. While climate around the world is showing the grievous effects of toxic energy policy Americans seem immune to the coming disaster. Perhaps it will take one BIG event to motivate real action. I do follow weather predictions, and this fall the hurricane season could be horrific. The core issue is the trend. Weather on a global scale is becoming more extreme. In the face of this pending calamity, we are plagued with leadership that is frankly too old for the times. Recent stumbles by the President clearly depict a man in decline. The Democrat political class needs to address this. The current crop of Republican presidential hopefuls reflects a more diverse field and Democrats should be ready for a tough election in 2024.
