This week, we’re hash tagging like the cool kids as we tackle hash tag diplomacy, global warming, oops, we mean, climate change, no sorry, climate action, oh, whatever. Then it’s some serous DC wonking out with the WaPo’s Bob Costa, followed by political consultant Rick Wilson. Who’s running, who’s sitting, what’s it like to work for Jeff Bezos, and what is Rob Long really doing in Amsterdam? We’ve got those answers and more. Tune in!

    I find it ironic that the Dutch Republic has successfully managed sea levels for the better part of 500 years, so I have a question for Peter Robinson. Would you rather lose a few feet of coastline or the liberty bestowed on this great nation by our Founding Fathers? Choose well, good sir, because our future depends on it.

    Climate Change

    GOP hopefuls need to point out how electric bills are marching straight up. I learned yesterday mine will be going up by about 10%. Gasoline is bumping $4/gal. This has a lot to do with the stranglehold the Climate Nazis have on the Democratic Party, shutting down coal, strangling nuclear, proscribing oil and gas.

    They need to point out how food is a lot more expensive because of the ethanol mandates (when you divert that much corn to being used as fuel, the price of everything edible goes up), and the man-made drought in California. Again forced down our throats by the Greens.

    They need to point out how everyone but the 1% is going to be forced to drive a golf cart made out of plastic to meet fuel efficiency standards.

    They need to point out how obeisance to the Church of Environmental Lunacy is costing everyone a lot of money. Money the middle class and poor have a lot less of than the deep-pocket coastal Leftist elites whose money insulates them from the effects their policies cause.

    A question that, as the lawyers say, answers itself. Nicely put, Mugwump.
