Height of hypocrisy

Sunday, one of your front-page articles contained the statement: “Democrats were unanimous in their condemnation of Trump for going to extraordinary lengths to tear down a chief political rival by asking the new leader of Ukraine to investigate the son of former Vice President Joe Biden.”

When I think about the wasted time and taxpayer dollars associated with the ongoing pursuit of investigations of Trump and Kavanaugh, this statement is the height of hypocrisy.

And, by the way, Joe Biden threatened to withhold $1 billion in loan guarantees to Ukraine if the prosecutor — who had investigated a company that employed Biden’s son — wasn’t fired.

Shouldn’t that be investigated?

How disturbing that those few but critical people in the scientific community, in the media and in government are now keeping 14year-olds up at night worried about planetary destruction.

Apparently, even young teenagers are having nightmares that wildfire global warming is killing both them and the rest of the biological world. These teenagers are even pushed to express their indignant, frightened and uninformed testimony before the U.N.

In some ways, it is a sad time in the life of our society. I predict that this time in our history will eventually become known as “The Great Climate Spoof.” It will make a great NatGeo documentary 10 or 20 years from now, but it is not fun for me to watch this breakdown of science and to observe the calamity it has spawned.
