"Here's the thing: Unless I'm wrong, which, you know, I'm not, it's a jungle out there. And if you paid attention, you'd be worried, too. Because he's the guy. I don't know how he did it, but he did it." Thank you, Adrian Monk!

You'd be forgiven for thinking that decent folks wouldn't be gravitating toward a job in politics. Which also means we let crooks run our countries. But shouldn't politics be about doing what's best for the people? Any ideas how to keep greed and lust for power out of politics?

Europe should open its doors wide to US scientists. Not just "We can do it", but "We want you". The fossilized theocracy they're building offers Europe immense opportunities. An exodus of US scientists is inevitable. Let's give them a warm welcome to Europe.

You might be tempted to think that people are, by and large, driven by self-interest. But there is some heart-warming news: "The data clearly showed that one message moves the whole world significantly: protecting the planet for the next generation."

The censorship of websites by Don The Con, Kekius Maximus, and their minions is the equivalent of book burning in Nazi Germany. Watch this space for more history lessons.

A mega-fire, two hurricanes back-to-back. And climate change is barely mentioned by the mainstream media as a contributing factor. How many make the connection between driving their SUVs, eating steaks and burgers, and seeing their neighborhoods destroyed? Or sleep well while our beds are burning?
