Today, unfortunately, the water levels in the sea of reality aren’t rising. Apparently, they are dropping.
The latest example of this is a bogus “scientific” study featured by MSN, explaining how manmade global warming – the earth heating up – is to blame for increased gun-caused deaths. Thousands die, we are told, when the weather gets hotter. And we are reminded that temperatures are supposed to rise 3 to 12 degrees nationwide by the end of the century, and gun violence (not just gun deaths) will rise alarmingly as well.
Of course, even the limited data provided in the article (found online courtesy of Microsoft) doesn’t support the hysterical claims of the headline and opening sentences.
Toelling a story of the way the “conservative” Republicans in Congress and too many State legislatures are showing signs of serious mental instability. Specifically the idea that they can actually get some of Uncle Joe’s policies and actions reversed. And the idea that somehow, there are sufficient Democrats who have not gone over to the Dark Side of wokeism and radical progressivism to be willing to side with the GOP in either house to make anything they blather on about veto-proof.
The recent news of how the US Department of Energy has figured out that the SARS virus was developed from and escaped from a Chinese government “health” lab in Wuhan is bouncing back and forth.
The FBI claims that they told us that a year or more ago.
Various government agencies at all levels still claim this is false. And some even claim that the reason for people NOT believing it came from a Chinese lab is The Donald. Surprised they don’t blame W (George W Bush) also.
But one thing we must learn (again) from this: GOVERNMENT LIES.
Indeed, every part of modern government seems like it is just another agency of MINITRUE.
As we pointed out in a commentary a few months ago, once more, we see the evil hand of government in causing and prolonging human suffering – and in killing people. Last time, we talked about Alzheimer’s disease. But although we’ve being pointing out that was the case with the COVID-19 pandemic for several years, that scourge is still with us.
But where are the lynch mobs? The post-apocalyptic mob lynching the poor, innocent, knowledge-seeking scientists because it was science (particularly government scientists and their idiotic political master) that created the situation which is busy destroying our world.
They seem to be too busy going after the likes of Scott Adams (creator of Dilbert) to destroy his business. (The screenshot from WLEX touts the Herald-Leader, a newspaper, proclaiming its dedication to fighting hatred and bigotry, which Mr. Adams too was speaking out against. Just on the part of the wrong, protected people. Well, the paper was at least partly right: their readers deserve better. From the Herald-Leader.)

But simply put: THE PRICE OF GOVERNMENT IS LIBERTY.
Our liberty. Your liberty, my liberty. Our children’s liberty, our grandchildren’s liberty. Our neighbors and our loved ones’ liberty.
A Seussian Poem About The Plight Of A Vaccinated Man In Covid, shared by our reader Scott.

The 15th of March seemed a nondescript day, although something was festering far, far away. It may or may not have escaped from a lab, (but make no mistake; it would end in a jab).
(Apologies: this should have been published on Saturday, but got caught in the computer – our fault!)
American cities – even smaller ones – seem to be submerging beneath a massive tide of homeless.
The above shows a street in Phoenix, Arizona, called “The Zone” which has a floating population of more than 1,000 people, with some claiming 10,000.
In the last few weeks, crossing the Western States on business, we here at TPOL have again seen for ourselves the problems of homelessness and poverty in towns and cities in states like Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah.
Many people have pointed out that the FedGov’s response to the train derailment and massive chemical (vinyl chloride) release in Palestine, Ohio has been slow, muted, and unreasonable.
I wonder why?
Perhaps this is part of the answer: Are Uncle Joe’s managers hiding their belief that this was really a chemical attack on the US by a Russian stooge?
The West seems to have dodged a bullet as I write this on the morning of Monday, 20 February 2022.
I am, of course, referring to illustrious leader Uncle Joe being bundled off by his nannies to Ukraine. Into uncontrolled airspace. Into the middle of a year-long war. A high-intensity war. Pretending to be leader of a pretended to-be “neutral nation.” Building up a corrupt regime created by and propped up by the DC regime in collusion with Brussels, Paris, and London. Raising dear Kamilla’s hopes!
Just when you think things can’t get any worse… We have this news, from the current White House/Uncle Joe Regime shill.
Wow! As several people, have pointed out: If he is the best communicator in the White House, then the bar really is set low, and his administration is more incompetent than we thought.
But the response from so-called Conservatives and even some reportedly Libertarian types? “We need leaders who are strong, charismatic and inspire confidence in the public. The ability to speak and communicate properly with the American people is part of that.

We used to refer to Boulder, Colorado that way.
