    plus the recent work, family, and personal upsets by Covid,
    Certainly was not a contributor in the previous sixty years.

    Very doubtful. It's hard to establish that climate change is a very serious issue to begin with. The unending harping about it might have had some small input, but that also is too recent to account for the 1900's.

    Call me when your house and garage and car and furniture and occupied dog house and fences and trees and shrubbery have been blown into the next town.

    Worst tornado in American history was in 1925. There were more than 600 deaths. Since 1990, tornado frequency has stayed pretty consistent.

    Hurricane frequency has not increased in 150 years.

    Any tornado that crosses your property and rips up your house is a bad one that drastically changes your life.

    That's true, but it certainly does not indicate any great climate change happening.

    Please go to your public library and ask a reference librarian for recent information on Lake Mead drying up and tornados in the South and flooding in California and unusually deep snow in California and the NW.

    Tornadoes in the south? Deep snow in Cali? A lake drying up? Since when do those amount to major weather changes "over most of the U.S.?" Those things have happened for centuries. The Mississippi River was in a massive flood stage 25 or so years ago. The Pearl River in our state flooded disastrously 30 years ago. The Southwest was so dry in the twenties and thirties that it became known as the Dust Bowl. We had a drought so severe in our own state thirty years ago that trees were dying. There were three major droughts in the U.S. in the 19th century.

    So no, there are not major weather changes currently over most of the U.S.

    "Climate change "has become a political bludgeoning tool used to remake entire industries societies cultures ;and to coerce Americans to do what progressives want. They don't believe Americans are enlightened enough to make their own choices.

    Don't believe me ? See how Clueless' new EPA rules will impact America .

    I just don't know how much longer we intend to put up with this. These unelected bureaucrats are pushing ideologies and making decisions which few Americans would vote in favor of.

    We need to elect leaders who will write legislation that requires regulatory directives must also be passed by Congress and the President , We also desperately need sunset clauses on all laws .

    None of that will happen .

    Note instead that we are getting that state-private industry partnership model that the national socialists created .

    Imagine being dependent on an EV in a state like California where planned blackouts occur because the grid already doesn't have the capacity to fulfil the state's power needs .

    Now we know what the Chinese are getting in return for their dealings with the Biden crime family

    When is storming the Capitol acceptable ? I asked that in April . Now we have a definitive answer . It is acceptable when lefty useful idiots occupy it .

    Chaos erupts as pro-Palestinian protesters take to the Capitol, at least three arrested (nypost.com)

    It's an insurrection I tell ya !!

    Question .... would those who cheer Hamas murders here commit the same acts here given the opportunity ? When you hear words like "decolonization" what do they really mean in terms of the state of Israel ? That could only be accomplished by the expulsion or extermination of the Jewish people in the region . We need to recognize that some of those who justify Hamas’s atrocities would be ready to perform them against their designated enemies.
