Greens Reinstate Ban on DDT

By Trenton Hansen

The Wall Street Journal published this story today:
In 2006, after 25 years and 50 million preventable deaths, the World Health Organization reversed course and endorsed widespread use of the insecticide DDT to combat malaria. So much for that. Earlier this month, the U.N. agency quietly reverted to promoting less effective methods for attacking the disease. [...]

Obama’s New Socialist Auto Policies

By Trenton Hansen

The headline reads, Obama’s new rules will transform US auto fleet. One question–what US auto fleet? There is no US auto fleet, unless all vehicles in the US are owned by the government. With these new developments, that may not be far off.
The Obama Administration imposed new rules for the automotive industry today, set to [...]

Unforgiven: The Left’s Persecution Of Carrie Prejean

By Trenton Hansen

The most ironic thing about the flap over Carrie Prejean is the Left’s over-the-top, despicable treatment of someone they would normally be defending. But Carrie committed the ultimate sin, the one thing that will get you immediately excommunicated from the New Secular Religion–she spoke against gay marriage in a national forum. And to make matters [...]

Fact-Checking Obama

By Trenton Hansen

Tonight’s Presidential Press Conference has been followed by some pretty good fact checking of his claims by writers from the AP (color me surprised).
A few things stand out, though.
Obama still insists on pushing the blame for the recession back onto the Bush Administration. Never does he acknowledge that his policies have had a big hand [...]

Chris Simcox Announces Run For Senate Against John McCain

By Trenton Hansen

Chris Simcox, Founder of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, has announced his candidacy for US Senate, challenging John McCain for the seat McCain has held since 1987. McCain took a lot of heat during his run for the Presidency because of his pro-amnesty stance on immigration. His lukewarm support of immigration reform was viewed by [...]

More Eco-stupidity

By Trenton Hansen

We could have told them so—that is, if they would ever listen.
I’m talking about the Leftists (Environmentalists and Socialists) who insist on changing aspects of society without having anything acceptable with which to replace them. That goes for products as well. Spokane County, WA is learning this the hard way. The Greens up North thought [...]

Obama’s Green Jobs Are Myth

By Trenton Hansen

Steven Milloy’s GreenHellBlog today has a study posted by the University of Illinois College of Law and Economics regarding Obama’s new “Green Jobs.”
It demonstrates something we already know–that Obama hasn’t got a clue about running an economy and should simply let the market work. Of course we also already know he can’t do that, for [...]

First Steps For The Fourth Reich

By Trenton Hansen

The House today overwhelmingly passed a bill that establishes a new commission to study the feasibility of a “mandatory service requirement for all able young people.” This is seen by some, including myself, as part of Obama’s campaign pledge to create a “civilian national security force” that would rival the military. Watch this video.

The bill [...]

John Kerry: Green Rules Not Enough

By Trenton Hansen

Steve Milloy’s Green Hell Blog reports today that John Kerry is not satisfied with draconian measures that aim to reduce CO2 emissions to 450 PPM. Kerry suggests that we need to return to an emissions ceiling of 350 PPM to have any appreciable effect on the climate.
Kerry understands that current regulations that require reductions in [...]
