The radical left campaigns against those who make modern life possible using tools only made possible by those who make modern life possible.

(10/29/20) column: "The #ExxonKnew saga has been brought back to prominence this month by an article in IOP Science from ExxonMobil’s Vice President of Research and Development Dr. Vijay Swarup. To refresh your memory, the #ExxonKnew campaign asserts that the energy company ExxonMobil has known about climate change since the 1970s, yet publicly lied for decades to keep people in the dark while still raking in big profits. The facts do not bear this out. Swarup issues a plank-by-plank dismantling of the #ExxonKnew narrative through a critique of a 2017 article, also in IOP Science, by Harvard history of science professors Dr. Naomi Oreskes and Dr. Geoffrey Supran...#ExxonKnew takes a complicated scientific issue with even more complicated political ramifications and boils it down to a simple story we’re primed to buy into: a big corporation got rich at our expense. Thanks to the prestige of its messengers, the campaign carries with it a veneer of scientific respectability. But #ExxonKnew
ricochets around Twitter because it activates our emotions, not because it reflects truth. Naomi Oreskes and Geoffrey Supran, while lauding science, excel at misleading storytelling. We ought not to let our craving for a good story blind us when a matter as serious as climate policy is at stake."

In the final weekend before the election, Joe is running ads targeting his base and sending Obama to Michigan. Much like Joe's frack walk back, the polls are a bunch of malarkey.

(10/29/20) reports: "Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. is leaning into climate change in the final days before the election, issuing new national ads attacking President Trump’s science denial even as Mr. Trump continues to hammer his rival’s position on the oil industry. One, an animated 30-second spot mocking Mr. Trump’s declarations that climate change is a 'hoax' and that 'it will start getting cooler' is aimed at reaching youth voters, said Matt Hill, a spokesman for Mr. Biden. The ad shows a pen scribbling inside a moving mouth that morphs into a ballot oval, silencing the president by voting him out. It is slated to air on Comedy Central and Adult Swim. The other spot features 'Melanie,' a Phoenix, Ariz. firefighter who describes the physical and mental toll of fire seasons that are worsened by climate change. 'We have the science, we have the technology but we don’t have leadership that believes in it,' she says...Thomas J. Pyle, the president of the Institute for Energy
Research, an organization that supports the use of fossil fuels, called the animated ad 'clever.' But, he said, it is notable that Mr. Biden’s campaign is running ads that appeal to his base yet sending surrogates to states where many voters are anxious about anti-fossil fuel agendas, like Pennsylvania and Michigan. 'If the Biden camp truly believed the narrative that they are running away with this election, they would be making very different decisions about how to spend their resources or deploy their stars,' he said."

If it runs like a socialist, plots like a socialist, and campaigns like a socialist, well...

(10/27/20) blog: "Former Vice President Joe Biden denies he’s a socialist or even looks like one. Before accepting this on face value, skeptical voters might want to recall what then California Gov. Ronald Reagan told a journalist in a 1967 interview: 'If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.' Joe Biden is no duck. But the Big Government programs he and his Democratic socialist collaborators have hatched look a lot like socialism. Voters will decide how much they resemble socialism on Nov. 3. Following the 2020 Democratic presidential primaries, Biden partnered with self-described Democratic socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont to create six 'Unity Task Forces' to develop policies agreeable to both camps. The environmental task force was co-chaired by another self-described Democratic socialist, New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the lead supporter of the Green New Deal, a multi-trillion-dollar government takeover of the
economy camouflaged as a check on climate change. Biden supports the framework of the Green New Deal, but most voters don’t understand how it would work in practice. They need look no further than Democrat-controlled California—where the governor already has set a timetable for banning the sale of traditional automobiles and the state’s transition to 'renewable energy' has resulted in rolling blackouts and power shortages. That’s the Green New Deal in practice."
