Senate Democrats were left red-faced at a hearing on climate change as their 'expert witness' proved to be anything but when faced by veteran senator John Kennedy. Budget Chairman Sheldon Whitehouse invited Olympic skier Gus Schumacher to give his perspective as the committee considered the impact of climate change on the recreation industry. But it was all downhill for the 23-year-old as he struggled to answer basic questions and could not remember his tweets claiming the war on drugs was designed to jail black people, and calling for the police to be abolished.

How does all this theatre close our porous border? How does this show of shows stop the eternal grift that is government today? How do people like our thoroughly corrupt and compromised Congress live with themselves knowing that future generations will be slaves to our debts? I fear the answer to these and other questions will be written in blood...

Brainless, uneducated twit, with ten whole years of experience with the climate now imagines he's an expert. Dimwit. The WEATHER varies on long cycles, longer than you have been alive, let alone aware of snow. Your perspective is far too short to be of any value at all.

Senator Kennedy does not play around. I watched a clip on this on Utube. ( I guess the feds already know that), and this boy could not answer the basic question asked of him. It was apparent that all he knew about the climate was what he read in the ramblings of the woke.

It's OK everyone, Gus is a Hight School graduate AND competes in cross-country skiing events. I don't know about you, but this makes Gus as much of a "Climate Expert" as Greta Thunberg, Al Gore, or John Kerry.

Kennedy exposed the self-professed athlete as a total fool. Gus whined that he was there to testify as an athlete. Sure, but inquiries about climate change are exercises of the mind, which Gus assuredly has none.

A 23 year old jock imagines that he understand atmospheric science. He understands nothing much at all at his age, beyond the dynamics of a ski on snow. His silly opinions are worth literally nothing unless he is your skiing instructor, and then his opinions on skiing technique may have real value.

Sen. Kennedy has a way about asking questions the witnesses never seem to have an answer for. Just remember, if you grew up in Chicago, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, which were all under hundreds of feet of ice (glaciers) which melted roughly 10,000 years ago. The climate has been changing for a long time, and long before the Industrial Revolution. Then ask yourself why China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, India and most countries aren't in a panic about the climate issues as the small group in the United States, Canada and the EU?

Following the lead of the Communists in the Soviet Union, the American Left for three-quarters of a century has been incessantly and mindlessly accusing Conservatives, and anyone opposed to their statist agenda, of being Nazis. Which, together with the accusation of racism, has become the ultimate invective. As history is always written by the victors, the Soviet Union, an ally of the Nazi Germany from 1939-41, sought to obfuscate its role in initiating the Second World War. They, with the cooperation of United States and Great Britain, succeeded in recasting National Socialism, or Nazism, as being on the right-wing of the political spectrum.

Engineers have blamed the deadly collapse of Baltimore's Francis Scott Key bridge on a design flaw that is present in tens of thousands of US bridges. Several experts told DailyMail.com that the Maryland bridge was missing critical protection systems that would have stopped the the nearly 105,000 ton container ship from smashing into the bridge's support. The Francis Scott Key Bridge was built in 1977 and anti-collision devices like fenders or protection cells were not introduced until the 1980s.

At least eight states are planning to ban the sale of new gas-powered cars in the next decade - and others are considering joining them. Only zero-emission vehicles can be sold in participating states beginning from the 2035 model year, according to the Advanced Clean Cars II legislation. The rule, which was first adopted by California, means that automakers and dealerships would be banned from selling new gas cars in these states from that point onwards. Americans will not be forced to take their gas-powered cars off the road, however, and will still be able to buy used and secondhand gas vehicles. These states have gone further

Former Enron advisor and current New York Times columnist Paul Krugman is angry at farmers. What’s earned his wrath is that they vote for Donald Trump. He says they vote for Trump because they’re afflicted with “white rural rage.” Let’s examine the components of Krugman’s catchy phrase “white rural rage.” As for rural, it is certainly true that Trump does better in rural areas than in, say, downtown Chicago or Baltimore. Then again, everybody does better – wherever they are – than they would in the toilets of downtown Chicago or Baltimore.
