OPINION: Now what?
The Senate just rammed through with zero republican support, a bill that will raise taxes dramatically on all of us working folks, more than double the size of the IRS and is the most aggressive climate change legislation ever passed. This was done three months before a midterm election in which democrats are facing possibly its worst defeat in history.
So, after all these months, the democrats now pass what they threatened to pass and should have at the beginning of 2021 when republicans were stunned by defeat, and the country was not paying attention like they are now. Why?
Either this is their legacy to screw us all in the worst possible way and try to get out of it by “blaming republicans” next year when they take power. You know, the best defense is an offense. Or do the democrats have their stuff down so well, they are not worrying about elections anymore? Do they know something coming in November that we the general public do not? Maybe. Maybe not. We’ll see in three months though.
Yeah it was a hot week last week and especially the week before. It was a hot July, record in some locations, but a lot of places that have monthly heat records from 1980, 1988, 1995, 2012… those records are still standing. Some by very comfortable margins.
So what’s the big emergency???
Could it be Biden’s poll numbers are below freezing??? I’ve seen as low as 31 percent! That’s cold!
So I’m going to go once again back to my roots as a Meteorologist. I’ve been one for 25 years. We’re always wrong to some people. If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard “You have the greatest job in the world. You get to be wrong xx% of the time and still have a job” I would be independently wealthy. But yet when climate stories come up, we continue to accept it as Gospel. Way too many of us. I’ve been guilty of this at times. Is it because it came from CNN? Because “government experts” said so? Here’s something for you to consider: The two most popular words for a news anchor or reporter to use are “experts say”.
