1) At Least It Isn’t Getting Colder!
One of our readers sent these old stories from the New York Times, back when we REALLY had to worry about “Climate Change.”

2) Many Blue States Vow To Copycat California Law To Abolish Cars With Combustible Engines
Massachusetts, Oregon, and Washington have already announced their intentions to join California in banning sales of cars and trucks with internal combustion vehicles by 2035. The Economist magazine estimates as many as one-third of all states will drive their gas-powered autos over a green cliff.
Then there is Virginia. Last year – under unified Democratic control – the state under then-Gov. Ralph Northam adopted a law to automatically follow California. (How braindead does a state have to be to contract out their regulatory laws to the lefties in Sacramento?)
Fortunately, VA’s new Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin has promised to do all he can to reverse that policy. Richmond Democrats still control the state Senate and they may refuse to budge. If so this issue of outlawing cars could be a referendum issue for voters in November 2023.

3) In Search Of Excellence As Kids Head Back To Crappy Public Schools
From Rasmussen Reports:
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that only eight percent (8%) of American Adults rate the performance of public schools in America today as excellent. Twenty-two percent (22%) rate America’s schools good, 31% rate them fair and 35% give public schools a poor rating.

That miserable number helps explain the enormous political energy behind school choice over the past couple of years.

4) Lockdown Remorse: Pennsylvania Edition
Politicians running for office this fall are discovering just how unpopular the pandemic lockdowns were. All over the country, they are scrambling to distance themselves for what they called “essential measures” less than two years ago.
For flipping and flopping, no one can top Josh Shapiro, the Democratic nominee for Pennsylvania governor and the state’s current attorney general.
Back in 2020, Democratic Governor Tom Wolf closed a third of Pennsylvania companies - those labeled “non-life-sustaining” - due to COVID, and Shapiro was right there urging people to turn miscreants in.
“See a #COVID19 well being and protection violation? File it!” Shapiro tweeted.
He also marched into court repeatedly to defend Wolf’s mandates and shutdowns. He said that a ruling by a federal judge to block the closure of businesses and all but small gatherings “will undoubtedly cost lives.”
Now, as he tells it, he was privately against all of the mandates all along.
“This is an area where I think folks got it wrong,” Shapiro told the AP in discussing school and business shutdowns. Which folks he thinks got it all wrong he refuses to say. He says he also opposed mask and vaccine mandates in PA.
He says: “We need to take educate, empower and respect people’s personal decisions and respect their personal freedom to make those choices,” Shapiro said.
Cynics say Shapiro’s change of heart has a lot to do with the fact that Governor Wolf’s mandates were so unpopular that voters rejected them thoroughly.
We at the HOTLINE always welcome converts, but Shapiro’s about-face strikes us as worthy of comment. He had a seat at the cabinet table when Wolf and other Democrats drafted the draconian lockdowns and there is no evidence he complained even privately at the time.

5) Video Of The Day
Color Us United spokesman Christian Watson has stirred up the Twitter mobs. In his video, Christian makes an impassioned moral case against Biden’s student loan bailout.
The response of those who oppose his powerful arguments: "you look too old to be 22."
Liberals should beware: Christian Watson is young and is just starting to fight for our fundamental values.
