The Uninhabited Mind of David Wallace-Wells
David Wallace-Wells shook up a lot of people with a “horrifying 2017 essay in New York magazine about climate change. It was an attempt to paint a very real picture of our not-too-distant future, a future filled with famines, political chaos, economic collapse, fierce resource competition, and a sun that ‘cooks us.’” Now he’s got a book out that builds on that article.
Comment on New GFS Forecast Model
Complacency, comfort, and reliance can breed a false sense of security. That is nature’s rule. Why do you think game wardens do not like people feeding wild animals? Because they become dependent on food being handed to them and lose the skills natural to them to make them stronger and better. Because man has become so smart, perhaps we lose sight of this sometimes. We need challenges. Here’s a simple way to put it: Unto all good there must be opposition.
There Really Is a National Emergency at the Border
As the pile-up of lawsuits proves, many believe that President Donald Trump exceeded his authority by declaring a national emergency at the U.S-Mexico border. The facts and the law show otherwise. He acted only after Congress refused to fulfill its duty to protect the country and provide the resources necessary to secure the border.

Normalizing Abortion: Not if, But Wen
Her mom was the candidate behind the most radical pro-abortion shift in the Democratic Party. Now, Chelsea Clinton wants everyone to know — we haven’t seen anything yet.
A Love Story for All
“Apparently you have a superhuman marriage,” actress Margaret Colin (“Independence Day”), said to Abby Johnson after an early screening of the movie “Unplanned,” which tells Johnson’s conversion story.
Feminists, Phooey!
One of the many dirty little secrets of the feminist movement, aside from their reflexive defense of sexual predators and abusers like Harvey Weinstein, Keith Ellison and Bill Clinton, so long as they’re Democrats and regard Roe v. Wade as sacred text, is that they hate most women as much or more than they hate men.
Can Trump Handle a Foreign Crisis?
He’ll face one eventually, and there’s good reason to worry the administration will be unprepared.

The Unbearable Whiteness of Bernie Sanders
Bernie Sanders catalyzed the Democratic Party’s post-Barack Obama move to the left, and if he were elected president in 2020, it would represent a truly historic swing in the country’s orientation.
Jussie Smollett’s Bad Acting
In the long run his hate hoax and bald-faced lying afterwards have done a public service he never dreamed it would.
Andrew McCabe, the Justice Department’s Jussie Smollett
Just like his boss and hero former FBI Director James Comey, former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe has written a Trump-trashing book. And like Comey, he’s getting hours and hours of airtime to sell laughable notions, like the idea that the FBI has been utterly nonpartisan.
Race, Trump and Local News
A family invited a traveling evangelist to stay in their home. (He was preaching at the family’s church.) As the parents slept, the evangelist allegedly raped their 14-year-old daughter. Five years later, the man has still not faced a jury of his peers.
