The Blessing of Fossil Fuels

October 18, 2020

We have all heard the claims and warnings — some quite hysterical — that our use of fossil fuels is recklessly irresponsible and immoral. If we don’t make dramatic changes ASAP, the end of civilization will be upon us in mere decades, if not just a few years. But, this is nothing new. Since at […]

Disney Learns ‘Go Woke, Go Broke’ Lesson… Maybe

September 13, 2020

As everyone knows, “wokeness” has pretty much taken over Big Entertainment, from Hollywood to pro sports to the Big Two comic book publishers, Marvel and DC. This approach is manifest by such things as forced diversity and characters & plots pushing LGBT+, feminist attitudes, and other “social justice” talking points.
