One of the irritating things about the immigration debate is the conflation of opposition to immigration per se, and opposition to the unrestricted flooding of the country with people who have been completely unvetted, and many of whom are coming not for American opportunity but rather government handouts, and many of whom hate America (e.g., Somalians in Minnesota).
Good news, from VDH.
When it means “more fear.”
I think/hope that the climate grift is on its last legs.
They may have come up with a way to regrow it.
Now let’s get on with regrowing teeth themselves.
Why he (finally) turned on the climate alarmists and said it isn’t an apocalypse.
I don’t know why anyone ever took him seriously on the subject in the first place. Just because you’re rich doesn’t mean you’re smart.

…largely only teach the left-wing view of controversial issues:
“‘Personally, I thought we’d find some imbalance, some activist teaching,’ co-author Jon Shields, a professor of government at Claremont McKenna College, told The College Fix. ‘I just didn’t expect it to be the norm in the cases we studied. That was genuinely surprising to me.’
Sadly, it’s not surprising to me at all. It’s a large part of why the country is such a disaster.
