A Cry in the Darkness

As we slide further into the Conservative Abyss, a few of us who remember the New Deal and what having a real Middle Class have something to say to add fuel to the teabag fire.

Heat indexes unusual for our area.

The polar ice cap just about disappears every year now.  Just twenty years ago, it never disappeared.  Climatologists predicted that this would be happening in about forty years:  it is happening now!

In Redding California we endured months of steady north wind, and rainfall levels at record low levels.  This drought and wind was also predicted by climatologists.  The surrounding forests, which run into the town in the north where I live, are tinder dry!

And now it begins.  Record high temperatures, highs in the teens, with record humidity.  We are talking India here.

And it is the start of summer!

And I got a note on Facebook from one of my conservative buddies, who claims 3000 scientists have signed a note saying climate change isn't real.  I can't find the reference...its made up!

And yesterday 19 Firefighters lost their lives in Arizona fighting one more of the record wildfires.

And yesterday another one of my con buddies, said the problems of local and state government can be traced to high pensions for firemen and police.

Who are these people?   What are these people?

North Carolina evidently is trying to end its unemployment insurance program.  The theory is that unemployment encourages people to not look for a job.

What are these people?

Hateful, spiteful, racist, ignorant, and reactionary sums it up.

And with climate change they have hit their height of lowth.  They actually, along with every gas company on earth, are resisting the obvious, while people die and the heat ends productive activity on earth.

Today I went to the golf course.  Today is a discount day for seniors.  Nobody was there.  It is going to be 109 today with high humidity.  And thunder storms, with lightning, are predicted for later in the week, in the mountains, that are tinder dry.  I live at the edge of the forest!

But we attack firefighters and the police?

The good news is probably tomorrow, the Latino population will exceed the white population in California..  This change is forever.

Thanks to the incredibly stupid policies of the Republican Party, Latinos vote heavily Democratic  and more so every day.  A Republican has not been elected to a leadership position now for two election cycles, and more failure is sure to follow.

In Colorado, ravaged by wildfires, some T.V. workers decided to bake cookies in a parked car.  It worked!  It is so hot you can bake cookies in your car.

Are you kidding me!  And there is no such thing as global warming????

We don't stand a chance!
