Easy Money has Distorted the Economy & Rigged "Investing" in Favor of the Already Wealthy

 From Doug Ross at Substack:

There’s a social phenomenon occurring on America’s Left. Every morning it’s the same routine: wake up, brush teeth, check phone, scream about Trump. Scroll. Scream. Retweet. Scream with better grammar. It’s like Peloton for outrage — “Feel the burn! That’s democracy leaving your body!”

And this isn’t about policy. You can argue tax rates all day. This is about manufactured outrage. It’s like they’re binge‑watching a reality show called The Orange Menace while their own cities descend into crime- and poop-filled hell-holes.

THE DIAGNOSIS: “Why the Left Can’t Look Away”

 

 

The picture above diagnoses why so many on the left fixate on Trump while ignoring a cascade of Democratic failures: the catastrophic Afghanistan withdrawal, the war on American energy independence, the open borders debacle, the fascination with freeing serial criminals, the economic destruction of blue zones, etc.

Six forces work together inside the mind: tribal identity, institutional capture of media and academia, algorithmic bubbles, the social reward of looking morally superior, outrage addiction, and the need to protect professional status. The coverage data shows the asymmetry isn’t imagined — it’s measurable. The key insight: a lot of anti-Trump obsessives are not mentally ill. They’re responding rationally to a system that rewards one-sided vigilance and punishes honest self-reflection. 

 

This picture offers an honest path forward for liberals who want to break free from tribal reflex without abandoning their actual values. Seven concrete steps — from naming Democratic failures to reading primary sources to following respected conservatives — build the habits of real citizenship. The scenario watchlist gives readers a way to predict what’s next: either the left reforms its institutions and recovers credibility, or the obsession deepens and drives more Americans away. The real, measurable indicators to watch are media coverage parity, restored campus debate, and the return of inter-party friendship as a social norm.

Easy Money has Distorted the Economy & Rigged "Investing" in Favor of the Already Wealthy

 

From Quoth the Raven on Substack

The widening wealth inequality gap is the political third rail nobody in power truly ever wants to touch.

Politicians will scream at each other all day over taxes, healthcare, immigration, tariffs, student loans, climate policy, or whatever outrage is currently driving engagement on cable news and social media. But the second the conversation turns toward monetary policy, toward the machinery of money creation itself, the room suddenly gets very quiet.

 M2 Money Supply (1959-2026) via MacroTrends:

That’s because monetary policy has quietly become the single most powerful force reshaping wealth distribution in modern America. And unlike the endless partisan theater surrounding fiscal policy, monetary intervention oddly enjoys remarkable bipartisan support.

Republicans and Democrats may pretend to be existential enemies on television, but when it comes to flooding the financial system with dollars, both parties reliably fall into line. And that support is precisely why this topic is politically radioactive: once people understand how the system works, the illusion of two competing economic ideologies starts to collapse. Republicans want less spending, Democrats want higher taxes…but both parties want the Fed to keep printing dollars.

Since the early 2000s, and especially after 2008 and the COVID era, America has effectively entered a permanent regime of monetary intervention. Quantitative easing, near-zero interest rates, endless debt monetization, emergency lending facilities, and the mainstream acceptance of Modern Monetary Theory-adjacent thinking have fundamentally altered the structure of markets beyond recognition.

When Ben Bernanke first rolled out quantitative easing during the 2008 financial crisis, Americans were repeatedly assured it was a temporary emergency measure. Bernanke described the programs as targeted interventions designed to stabilize markets and support recovery, not permanently redefine the financial system.

QE1 was supposed to calm panic. Then came QE2. Then Operation Twist. Then QE3 became effectively open-ended, with the Fed purchasing tens of billions in bonds every month indefinitely. What began as a supposedly temporary crisis tool metastasized into a permanent feature of the modern economy. And every subsequent crisis only justified bigger interventions: larger balance sheets, lower rates, more liquidity, more market dependence on central bank support.

The Federal Reserve’s balance sheet exploded from under $1 trillion before 2008 to nearly $9 trillion after the pandemic era. Like nearly every government “emergency” program in history, the temporary measure never truly disappeared, it simply normalized, expanded, and embedded itself deeper into the system. Which is to say…the old rules are dead.

Historical stock/bond valuation metrics increasingly feel meaningless because markets are no longer functioning inside anything resembling a closed system governed by organic price discovery and economic fundamentals.

Investors used to rely on earnings multiples, historical averages, bond yields, and economic cycles because those metrics assumed markets were constrained by actual capital and relatively stable money supply growth.

Now we operate inside a permanently distorted financial system where trillions of dollars can be electronically created and injected into markets whenever instability appears. The market is no longer primarily driven by productivity or efficient allocation of capital. It is driven by liquidity. Price discovery has been replaced by intervention dependency and risk has been socialized while gains remain privatized.

And every time markets threaten to correct naturally, policymakers intervene to ensure asset prices do not fall far enough to inflict meaningful pain on the people who own the overwhelming majority of financial assets. And the consequences of this have been staggering.

While both parties bitch and moan about affordability, protecting the middle and lower class, and “equity”, one of the clearest signs of this Fed-created distortion is the explosive growth of the ultrawealthy class. According to The Wall Street Journal, there are now roughly 430,000 American households worth more than $30 million, including approximately 74,000 households worth over $100 million. The growth of these groups has dramatically outpaced overall population growth over the past several decades.

In other words, Fed policy, blessed by both political parties, is widening the wealth inequality gap both political parties claim to fighting against. This staggering chart shows the result of endless QE: the rich get richer…which would normally be fine with me, I’m a capitalist…except the top 1% are getting richer faster and at the expense of the middle and lower class’ loss purchashing power. When it comes to purchasing power, we are literally taking from the poor, and giving to the rich.

 

And this is the direct mathematical outcome of an economic system designed to inflate asset prices continuously. The Wall Street Journal cited research showing that the inflation-adjusted wealth of the top 0.1% has increased more than thirteenfold over the past fifty years. Meanwhile, the bottom half of the country spent decades struggling merely to maintain positive net worth.

Think about how insane that divergence really is. Fed policy has caused the wealth of the rich to escape into another dimension entirely while much of the country got buried under inflated housing costs, inflated healthcare, inflated tuition, inflated insurance, inflated food prices, and stagnant purchasing power. It’s a policy that directly benefits the “haves” and disproportionately burdens the “have nots” (think about owning a house while prices rise, versus trying to a buyer of your first house while prices rise).

Nearly 72% of the wealth held by the top 0.1% consists of stocks, mutual funds, and private businesses — precisely the assets supercharged by quantitative easing and artificially suppressed interest rates, the piece notes.

This is the hidden engine underneath modern inequality.

When central banks flood the system with liquidity, the money does not magically disperse evenly across society. It enters through banks, financial institutions, government spending channels, debt markets, and asset purchases. The first recipients of newly created money benefit before inflation fully spreads through the broader economy.

 

By the time ordinary people feel the effects, prices have already risen. The wealthy own appreciating assets. The middle and lower classes primarily own wages and cash. And wages are always the last thing to adjust.

So while asset holders watch their net worth explode upward, ordinary families experience the opposite reality: homes become unattainable, groceries spike, savings accounts become meaningless, and generations are pushed further away from financial stability.

And the most inconvenient truth for all of Washington is that politicians love pretending to be horrified by affordability crises while continuing to support the exact monetary regime producing them.

They complain about housing costs after years of suppressing rates and inflating real estate prices. They complain about inequality after engineering one of the largest asset booms in modern history. They talk endlessly about helping “working families” while simultaneously creating trillions of dollars that overwhelmingly benefit the people who already own the overwhelming majority of financial assets.

And both parties are complicit, which is what makes the entire charade so grotesque. Both parties scream about fiscal deficits when politically convenient. Yet both become remarkably comfortable with monetary expansion so long as markets remain elevated and the reckoning gets delayed beyond the next election cycle.

Consider the rhetoric around interest rates over the past several years.

President Trump has repeatedly pressured the Federal Reserve for lower rates and easier monetary conditions, arguing that tighter policy threatened markets and growth. Elizabeth Warren has also pushed for looser monetary policy from the opposite ideological direction, warning that higher rates could weaken the labor market and hurt workers.

Different rhetoric, same addiction. The right frames easy money as pro-growth, the left frames easy money as compassionate.But both roads lead to the same destination: more liquidity, higher asset prices, and widening wealth inequality. What’s the last thing President Trump and Elizabeth Warren agreed on?

This is why the supposed economic divide between the parties increasingly feels performative. Beneath the culture war circus exists a deeper bipartisan consensus: financial markets must remain inflated at all costs.

And the lower and middle class gets absolutely brutalized in this arrangement.

Historically, middle-class wealth accumulation depended on disciplined saving, stable employment, affordable housing, and gradual investment appreciation over time. But inflationary monetary regimes destroy the reliability of all of those pathways. Savings become punishment, cash becomes a melting ice cube, young people are forced into speculative assets (or outright becoming gambling addicts) simply to attempt to preserve purchasing power. Conservative investing gets punished while reckless leverage gets rewarded.

Entire generations now feel compelled to try and make quick money in markets not because they are greedy, but because monetary debasement has made traditional financial prudence nonviable. This creates an economy built less on productivity and innovation and more on asset inflation, debt expansion and outright speculation.

And inflation itself is particularly nefarious because it operates invisibly. It steals purchasing power quietly, gradually, and often incomprehensibly. Most people do not connect central bank balance sheets to why they suddenly cannot afford the same standard of living they had five years earlier. They simply feel squeezed. They work harder, save less, delay families, postpone homeownership, drown in debt, and wonder why prosperity always seems permanently out of reach.

The theft of their purchasing power happens in the darkness. Unlike direct taxation, monetary debasement allows everyone involved to avoid accountability. Instead of openly taxing citizens to fund endless spending and bailouts, the system simply dilutes the value of everyone’s currency. And the people causing the inflation are usually insulated from its consequences because they own the very assets inflated by the policy itself.

That is why luxury demand continues exploding even while ordinary consumers struggle. The Wall Street Journal recently noted booming demand for Ferrari, Hermès, luxury Manhattan real estate, and private aviation among the ultrawealthy even as many middle-class consumers pull back spending elsewhere. That is not a healthy economy, that is a bifurcated economy.

And Modern Monetary Theory only pushes this logic to its most dangerous extreme. MMT advocates often speak in sanitized academic language about sovereign currency issuance and functional finance, but the real-world result is painfully simple: endless money creation distorts prices, rewards asset holders, punishes savers, and accelerates inequality. A society cannot print its way to genuine prosperity forever, it can only redistribute claims on existing prosperity while weakening the currency denominator underneath the entire system.

The defenders of perpetual intervention always insist the alternative would be catastrophic…markets would crash, unemployment would rise, and recession would follow. There is truth in that argument. The system has become so addicted to liquidity that withdrawal now threatens immense instability.

But that only exposes the deeper problem. A market that cannot survive without permanent monetary life support is no longer a healthy market, it is a managed dependency system. A patient on hospice care. And every bailout pushes the reckoning further into the future while making the eventual consequences even worse.

That is why so many people feel like the game is rigged even when official economic statistics appear healthy. GDP can rise. Stock indices can hit all-time highs. Unemployment can remain low. Yet millions of people still feel poorer because the underlying structure increasingly funnels gains upward while socializing losses downward. If the bond market eventually needs a bailout, which I have speculated it may, this would be a great lesson for us to remember and empower ourselves with.

What Happened When Islamists Ruined Lebanon

Beirut used to be called the Paris of the Middle East with a majority Christian population. Now, it's a bombed out hulk, thanks mostly due to scumbag Islamists (who ruin everything)

Beirut: From Paris of the Middle East to Tragic Capital

From The Times Now Authored by: Namya Sinha Updated Apr 1, 2026, 14:55 IST:

Beirut, once the Paris of the Middle East, flourished with art, fashion, and nightlife, only to be repeatedly battered by continuous conflict, most recently Israel’s armed clashes with Muslim Hezbollah. The ongoing violence is devastating a city that has long struggled to survive and reclaim its lost glory. (Thanks Iran.)

Lebanon has again become a war zone. Israel struck Lebanon’s capital, Beirut, claiming to have targeted a “senior Hezbollah commanders” and another member of the group. Earlier in March, Lebanon had been pounded by Israel after the Iran-backed proxy group Hezbollah fired rockets, following a US-Israel strike on Iran. The conflict has caused massive destruction and displaced millions of people.

Amidst this, cities long celebrated for their cultural heritage have been dealt a devastating blow. Beirut, the Lebanese capital, was once called the “Paris of the Middle East.” It is now in the throes of devastation and is being referred to as the “Tragic Capital”.

[Doug here: It’s been in consistent decline for decades now; thanks to the accommodation of Muslims in government and the resulting persecution and attacks of Christians by Muslims leading to their mass exodus from the country. 100’s of thousands of Lebanese Christians fled to escape their new hell-hole.

In plain English, this is yet another historic example of Islamic conquest. And the results of this Islamic conquest is the same for ALL the other Islamic conquests: devastation, death and misery inflicted by this ‘death cult.’]

Beirut is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. Perhaps there are few cities that have been destroyed and rebuilt as often as Beirut. The war has taken its toll on the metropolis, located on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, destroying much of its heritage and architecture.

Between 1955 and 1975, Beirut witnessed its golden age. It was a cosmopolitan city known for its vibrant culture, French architecture, Lebanese cuisine, fashion, art, and lifestyle. “Hamra Street was likened to the Champs-Élysées of Beirut, lined with fashion stores, theatres, restaurants, cafes, and hotels visited by artists, poets, writers, and intellectuals. There were more than a dozen cinemas on Hamra Street alone, including the famous Eldorado, the Piccadilly, and the Versailles, cementing Beirut’s title as the cinema capital of the region,” wrote Georgina Noack for The Nightly.

During its golden age, Beirut became a thriving fashion capital of the Middle East. Designers and tailors from the city gained international acclaim, as they brought together traditional Lebanese embroidery with European haute couture. They were coveted by celebrities. Hamra Street and surrounding districts were lined with chic boutiques, fashion houses, and ateliers where locals and visitors alike came to see the latest trends. It was during the civil war, that Elie Saab founded his eponymous label in 1982, specialising in wedding wear. Zuhair Murad opened his first atelier in Beirut in 1995. His designs are a tribute to the Lebanese capital, that often reflect a hint of ancient and modern at the same time. Beirut’s reputation for style and elegance became as much a part of its identity as its cafés, cinemas, and art galleries.

But the 15-year civil war from 1975 to 1990 was a brutal period for the city, from which it has never fully recovered [Doug here: a sectarian war between Christians and Muslims].

Beirut has also been home to the historic Saint-Georges Hotel, a symbol of resistance. Founded in 1932 in Saint George Bay, Ain Mreisseh, it was a destination for the rich and famous, including Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, and Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran. The hotel was severely damaged during the Lebanese Civil War’s “War of the Hotels” and was later occupied by militias and Syrian troops. In 2005, the Hariri assassination blast inflicted further wounds on the city.

In 2020, the Beirut port explosion killed more than 200 people and left thousands injured and homeless. According to UNESCO, “The two port explosions damaged some 640 heritage buildings, 60 of which were critically deteriorated.” These included the Boustany House, built in 1880, and the Tobbagi House, built in 1908, both located on Mar Mikhael Street.

Lebanon’s once-booming nightlife has also taken a heavy toll. Just last year, Israel bombed Lebanon for months, resulting in thousands of deaths. “In the area around Fizz, some of Beirut’s most famous nightclubs were converted into displacement shelters for those fleeing the violence,” wrote Madeline Edwards for Condé Nast Traveller.

Beirut deserves to regain the glory it has long struggled to retain and should not be allowed to die. The world must pause and ask itself whether our cities deserve such destruction, and whether the people who give them life deserve such loss.

The Biggest Election Collapse that you Haven't Heard About

 

  

 

  

The Reform Party, headed by Nigel Farage, absolutely obliterated the insane Labor Party and it’s brain-dead and despicable Prime Minister Starmer. Labor lost about 60% of it’s nationwide council seats AND the Conservatives lost about 40% of it’s nationwide seats.

The Greens also gained significant seats but Reform’s performance stood out.

To put this in perspective, and comparing this election to one in the US, you could say that Nigel Farage’s Reform victory would be the equivalent of a new upstart political party completely thrashing BOTH the Democrats AND Republicans in one giant, historic upheaval.

So, have you heard about this political crisis in the UK?? No? Most haven’t. And the idiot simp Starmer is refusing to resign!! Someone might have to put a bullet in his empty head.

This is the worst election collapse since 1931 in the UK. A true earthquake, a 9 on the Richter Scale; a catastrophe that is being “ratioed” and censored by the Deep State.

My suspicion is that coverage of this earthquake has been censored across the world by the Deep State because of the level of anger and desperation of the British people. Allowing unfettered coverage would be too similar and reminiscent to another political earthquake shaking the world; ie., Donald Trump. WE CAN’T HAVE THAT!!

Obviously Nigel and Donald are very similar common sense populists/nationalist who want to put the interests of their respective populations and civilizations at the forefront—as they should!

This election beat-down is due to the relentless destruction of that country. The UK is a complete shitshow. It’s a shitshow that’s comparable to the insanity reigning in the US prior to Trump’s big victory. Starmer=Biden. Both are/were braindead. Farage is far too similar to Trump (and WE CAN’T HAVE THAT!)

I did a search on Duck Duck Go for this 2026 election result but found this search result instead: highlighting an eerily similar election collapse in the UK in 1931. From Wikipedia:

The collapse of the British election refers to the 1931 United Kingdom general election, where the Labour Party suffered its greatest defeat, losing four-fifths of its seats, while the National Government coalition won 67% of the popular vote. This election was a response to the economic crises of the Great Depression and marked a significant shift in British politics.

You can rightly say that Britain is in a crisis similar to the Great Depression as indicated just above. That’s a true sign of our times.

OF COURSE THE DEEP STATE WANTS TO HIDE THE MAGNITUDE OF THE COLLAPSE THAT IT HAS CAUSED!!!

President Trump's Breathtaking Civilizational Re-Alignment in The West, in the USA and the World

Trump is Selectively Disconnecting the US from the EU and NATO

Trump is distancing the US from these insane EU countries and in the non-EU UK. And he’s strengthened ties to Hungary, Poland, for example

The collection of Western national “leaders” in The West is stunningly appalling: crazy, brain-dead globalists Mark Carney (Canada), Kier Starmer (UK), Van der Leyen (EU), the idiot Friedrich Merz (Germany) and Macron (FR). And all these people and the US Democrats are criminals, scammers and utter disgrace. The good leaders are Christian Nationalists like Orban (now Péter Magyar) in Hungary and Karol Nawrocki in Poland who reflect their conservative majority.

Trump is putting many of these “allies” into a 2nd class category. Those that reject Western Culture are out. Those that support it are ‘favored’. Again, it’s all code words for restoring White Western Civilization. Trump is indeed pulling-out 5000 troops from Germany and is considering pulling troops from Spain, Italy, Germany (and UK?):

 

 

JAPAN Elects a Trump-like Prime Minister. Now China is Firmly in Trump’s Cross-hairs

Japan has elected a solid, principled Conservative prime minister, Sanae Takaichi, in a landslide vote. She is similar to Trump in her bold policy stances; which includes support for a new strong and muscular defense to counter-balance China and N.Korea. In short, Japan is basically re-arming. She is stiffening immigration controls to exclude more non-Asian and non-Japanese. She is a staunch defender of Japanese culture—as she should.

Takaichi has immediately joined the US in challenging China’s ridiculous territorial claims to the Entire South China Sea. She’s sailed Navy destroyers in waters close to China/Taiwan. Here is a map of their claims that CAN NOT STAND and WILL NOT STAND (red dashed line):

 

 Most of the world operates within the UNCLOS agreement which gives each sea-facing country the right to exploit sea waters out to 200 miles for their own exclusive economic use. It is the basis for every offshore drilling leasing programs for nearly every country in the world including the US. It allows for exclusive rights to mine, drill for oil/gas or to fish or farm in their blocks. Only China has made ridiculous claims that contradict the UNCLOS. China even brought their case to the UN Court in Brussels and lost their case (as they should). But that hasn’t stopped their non-stop harassment of ALL their neighbors.

Also, China’s claims to “ownership” of Taiwan is very spurious. See my post Does Modern China Really Have any Valid Claim on Taiwan? No, Not Really. It’s just another territorial land grab to ‘digest’ and steal their technology and their super-high tech industry—similar to their takeover of Hong Kong. This is why Communists are historically expansionary. They fail to innovate due to central planning and must “conquer” thriving economic areas (like Hong Kong and Taiwan) to bolster their failures.

Basically communism is DESTRUCTIVE and PARASITIC. This is why Communists always push for territorial expansion. It’s the same for Leftists of ANY type.

LEFTISTS ARE SHIT!

Leftist/Communist governments can’t produce real prosperity for long. China did, but it was the ‘free’ capitalistic-side of their economy that produced all the economic gains after Deng Xiaoping. The State-owned enterprises just destroy money. It worked for decades. But now with Trump’s tariff regime, extremes of China’s debt and their demographic slowdown, their economy has cooled markedly—thus the need to inject fresh blood, ie., like seizing Taiwan. They are VAMPIRES.

All Leftists are vampires and do nothing but destroy.

Trump’s tariffs and his attack on Iran’s Islamic ‘thugocracies,’ including the Hamas, Hezbollah and Hamas THUGS are also designed to exacerbating China’s ongoing collapse. China’s overland “Belt and Road” initiative has been just another costly exercise in “central planning-run-amok” by the regime. The terminus of their “belt and road” is Iran and it’s highly likely that the US has bombed roads and rail lines to/from China. China has generally courted Iran’s dirty regime for decades but now is forced to basically ‘sit-out’ the US military action there. The US now effectively controls China’s oil supply.

LATIN AMERICA Embracing Trumpian Conservatism

Conservativism is on the rise in Latin America, especially due to the leadership and success of President Trump but also Javier Milei and Nayib Bukele from Argentina and El Salvador, respectively. From Bing: Latin America has experienced a profound shift toward conservative leadership, with several countries now governed by right-leaning presidents. Here are key Conservative leaders and their countries

• Argentina: Javier Milei, a far-right libertarian, won the 2023 presidential election and has strengthened his party’s position in Congress through midterm elections, emphasizing economic liberalization and security policies.

• Chile: José Antonio Kast, a far-right politician, was elected president in 2025 with a record vote total, marking the sharpest rightward turn since the Pinochet era.

• Bolivia: Rodrigo Paz, a center-right politician, won the 2025 presidential runoff, ending decades of leftist dominance by the MAS party.

• Ecuador: Daniel Noboa, a center-right businessman, defeated leftist Luisa González in 2024, continuing the trend of conservative governance.

• Honduras: Nasry Asfura, a conservative candidate, narrowly won the presidency, focusing on fiscal discipline and infrastructure investment.

• Panama: José Raúl Mulino, a right-wing politician, defeated the incumbent center-left vice president in 2024.

• El Salvador: Nayib Bukele, re-elected in 2024, is considered a prominent conservative leader with a focus on security and economic reforms.

• Paraguay: The Colorado Party, a historically dominant right-wing party, continues to influence national politics, despite occasional leftist victories.

• Dominican Republic: Luis Abinader, a center-right president, has maintained conservative policies since his election.

• Costa Rica: Laura Fernandez Delgado, of the conservative Sovereign People’s Party, won the 2026 presidential election, emphasizing crime-fighting and continuity of conservative governance.

Trump Removes the Commie Maduro Regime and Oil is Suddenly Flowing Again—to the US

The Communist regime in Venezuela of Nicholas Maduro was decapitated and a pragmatic leader has been installed and/or emerged there. Naturally, she is allied with the US and the renewal of Venezuela oil and gas production has commenced now that US oil/gas stakeholders have access to their assets again. For example, I hear that Chevron is once again importing and refining some 250,000 barrels of oil per day into US Gulf coast refineries (refineries built for VZ heavy oil).

Cuba is next

The communist disaster of Cuba is literally falling apart; everything is failing: the electric grid is not functioning as free oil from “Communist” Venezuela is finished given that Maduro has been removed. It’s only a matter of time.

There is a severe humanitarian crisis there. People are starving. There is zero money —except for the select elites. Cuba has been run by a type of Mafia. Trump is hinting that he’s going to “takeover” Cuba soon.

Leftism is a disaster wherever it’s found.

Canada is Literally Falling Apart; Alberta Appears Ready to Join/Align with Trumpian America. Next is Saskatchewan.

The vastly incompetent/brainwashed Globalist boot-licking “leadership” of Mark Carney in Canada, like the EU, is incredibly bad and intentionally destructive. Carney is the worst!

Where do they find these people?

Now western provinces are being led to secession by Alberta. They have a referendum to approve a secession vote this fall. If Alberta leaves Canada, then Saskatchewan could easily be next. Could others secede? Might Carney get “Starmered”?

Trump has already made agreements to increase oil/gas pipeline flows from Alberta energy after a split. Delegates from Alberta remain in touch with the Trump White House. There is a natural conservative and cultural alignment between many western Canadian provinces and the US.

Trump Exposes and Conquers the Insane US Democrats

Trump’s most important domestic feat has been to antagonize, disrupt, expose the insane US Democrat party as an entirely criminal enterprise of cheaters, liars, fools and insane people! It’s been remarkable to watch Democrat’s emotional and intellectual implosion into Trump hatred (TDS). It’s gotten to the point that if Trump invented the cure for cancer, that the Democrats would declare that they love and support cancer! Their emotional, knee-jerk anti-Trumpism has put their entire party in the losing side of an 80/20 issues that most matter to voters. We’re witnessing their emotional, brain-dead implosion into insanity.

Trump’s Battle Against Islam; the Giant, Historical Enemy of Modern Civilization

Trump, in his first term, began the re-organization the entire Middle East with the “Abraham Accords” which began to normalize the entire Middle East (ex-Iran and it’s proxies) into a peace and cooperation agreement with Israel and includes the UAE, and even potentially Saudi Arabia. It’s probably going to expand. Here’s the summary from Bing:

The Abraham Accords were signed on September 15, 2020, in Washington, D.C., under the mediation of the United States during President Donald Trump’s administration, marking the first formal recognition of Israel by Arab states since Jordan in 1994 and Egypt in 1979. The initial signatories were Israel, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Bahrain, followed by Morocco, Sudan, and Kazakhstan in subsequent years. The accords were named after Abraham, symbolizing the shared heritage of Judaism, Islam, and Christianity

The Abraham Accords is uniting many of the reform-minded Sunnis in the Middle East with Israel and the US into a convention of modernity, prosperity and peace.

Where’s Trump’s Nobel prize?? All he gets is hate and derision.

With our ongoing conflict with Iran and it’s evil partners; ie, Houthis, Hamas, Hezbollah and China, we’re witnessing yet another battle in the war for Western Civilization; a war dating back to 700 AD.

I’m talking about Trump’s war against the worst of the worst Islamists: the antediluvian Shiite Muslims in Iran and ALL of their proxies. We’re talking about the remaining medieval nightmare of Shia Islamists from Gaza, Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis and Iran --all “head-choppers” and “goat fuckers” with guns --backed by China---who are enemies of civilization and modernity. They are all worshippers in a brutal, thuggish DEATH cult.

The Abraham accord countries are mostly Sunnis that are shown below in the dark colored majority Sunni countries:

Most Sunni Muslim countries now aligned with the US and Israel under the Abraham Accords

Ask the Iranian refugees in The West what they think about this dethroning of the mostly-Shiite Muslim evil in their country or even in the Middle East? Oh wait, you don’t have to! The Iranian diaspora are all for Trump and openly cheering him on here and there!

Spain and Europe Insanely Welcoming Their Historical Enemy Back into their Countries

Spain (and the entire EU idiocracy) are the latest examples of historical ignorance--with their insane importion of their historical enemy, ie., Muslims, and allowing them back into Europe en masse. It’s as if they are intentionally trying to destroy Spain and Europe.. They are giving their historical enemy welcome mats! It’s a true culture war!! Don’t these Leftists ever read the history of Islamic war and occupation??

Europe is embracing a 2nd Islamic invasion and occupation by this same regressive force of evil that invaded and occupied them in the 7th century AD. They basically destroyed ALL of Christendom, who then held on until 1492; and really until 2025 in some places. Maybe Christianity is the current target for destruction in The West?

The war against ancient and un-reformed Islam rages. It’s a war for principled and prosperous modern civilization. Similarly we’re in a war against Communism and Leftism, the other historical nightmares failing miserably in Cuba, Venezuela, China and everywhere else. These are the last remnants of failed thinking. Could it be possible that, soon, we might be seeing the set-up for many decades of world peace/prosperity once the culture wars are finished---not unlike the period after WWII?

If so, we’ll have to give a good deal of credit to our Grey Champion in this Fourth Turning crisis: Mr. Trump.

New York City's Spending Is Higher Than the STATE of Florida. What??

DeSantis pointed out that New York City, with roughly 8 million residents, operates a budget larger than Florida’s. But get this: Florida has a massive 23.7 million residents or almost 3 times NYC’s population.

But Communist Mam-dummy, never will have enough money. He’s crying for more! It’s ridiculous.

 

DeSantis said “New York City with 8 million people has a larger budget than the entire state of Florida and yet our infrastructure is better, our roads are better, services are better.”

Florida’s 2025–26 fiscal budget is just $1.5 billion or slightly larger than New York City’s. But New York City has three times fewer residents than Florida — 8.48 million versus 23.3 million — its per-capita spending far outpaces that of the Sunshine State’s.

The Sunshine State’s current spending plan totals $117.4 billion, compared with New York’s $115.9 billion — a difference of 1.3%.

Clarence Thomas Warns Warns that "Progressivism" Undermines Founding Principles

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas

 This is an excerpt of his full speech given on April 15, 2026 at the University of Texas that is found here.

“…….Since Wilson's presidency, progressivism has made many inroads into our system of government and our way of life. It has coexisted uneasily with the principles of the Declaration. Because it is opposed to those principles, it is not possible for the two to coexist forever.

Progressivism was not native to America. Wilson and the progressives candidly admitted that they took it from Otto von Bismarck's Germany, whose state-centric society they admired. Progressives like Wilson argued that America needed to leave behind the principles of the founding and catch up with the more advanced and sophisticated system of relatively unimpeded state power, nearly perfected.

He acknowledged that it was a foreign science speaking very little of the language of English or American principle, which offers none but what are, to our minds, alien ideas. He thus described America still stuck with its original system of government as, quote, slow to see the superiority of the European system. Progressivism was the first mainstream American political movement, with the possible exception of the pro-slavery reactionaries on the eve of the Civil War, quote, to openly oppose the principles of the Declaration.

Progressives strove to undo the Declaration's commitment to equality and natural rights, both of which they denied were self-evident. To Wilson, the unalienable rights of the individual were, quote, a lot of nonsense. Wilson redefined liberty, not as a natural right attendant and assedent to the government, but as, quote, the right of those who are governed to adjust government to their own needs and interests.

In other words, liberty no longer preceded the government as a gift from God, but was to be enjoyed at the grace of the government. The government, as Wilson reconceived it, would be, quote, beneficent and indispensable. Progressives such as John Dewey attacked the Framers for believing that their ideas were immutable truth, good for all times and places, when instead they were, according to him, historically conditioned and relevant only in their own time.

Now Dewey and the progressives argued those ideas are to be displaced. Progressivism seeks to replace the basic premises of the Declaration of Independence and hence our form of government. It holds that our rights and our dignities come not from God but from government.

It requires of the people a subservience and weakness incompatible with a constitution premised on the transcendent origin of our rights. You will not be surprised to learn that the progressives had a great deal of contempt for us, the American people. Before he entered politics, Wilson would describe the American people as, quote, selfish, ignorant, timid, stubborn, and foolish.

He lamented that we do too much by vote and too little by expert rule. He proposed that the people be ruled by administrators who use them as tools. He once again aspired to be like Germany, where the people, he said admiringly, were docile and acquiescent.

The century of progressivism did not go well. The European system that Wilson and the progressives scolded Americans for not adopting, which he called nearly perfect, led to the governments that caused the most awful century that the world has ever seen. Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, and Mao all were intertwined with the rise of progressivism and all were opposed to the natural rights on which our declaration are based.

Many progressives expressed admiration for each of them shortly before their governments killed tens of millions of people. It was a terrible mistake to adopt progressivism's rejection of the declaration's vision of universal, unalienable natural rights. Wilson's claim that natural rights must give way to historical progress could justify the greatest mistake in our history.

In Plessy v. Ferguson, my court upheld Louisiana's system of racial segregation because, quote, separate but equal, it observed, was reasonable in light of the established usages, customs, and traditions of the people and with a view to the promotion of their comfort and the preservation of the public peace and good order. It comes as no surprise that the progressives embraced eugenics.

Progressives believed that Darwinian science, the idea of ever-advancing progress written into biology itself, had proven the inherent superiority and inferiority of the races. It was only a small step for Wilson to resegregate the federal workforce. It was only another step for the government to launch sterilization programs on those deemed by the experts of the day to be unfit to reproduce, upheld by my court in Buck v.

Bell in an opinion written by no less a figure than Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes. We can argue over whether you believe in immutable, absolute natural rights or the Wilsonian idea of ever-progressing history. Indeed, your school of civic leadership was created to host just such arguments, but let me ask you to consider the consequences.

European thinkers have long criticized America for remaining trapped in a Lockean world with its weak, decentralized government and strong individual rights. They say our 18th century declaration has prevented us from progressing to higher forms of government, but we were fortunate not to trade our Lockean bonds for the supposedly enlightened world of Hegel, Marx, and their followers. Fascism, which after all was National Socialism, triggered wars in Europe and Asia that killed tens of millions.

The socialism of the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China proceeded to kill more tens of millions of their own people. This is what happens when natural rights give way to the higher good of notions of history, progress, or as Thomas Sowell has written, the visions of the anointed. None of this, of course, was an improvement on the principles of the declaration.

Tocqueville's Democracy in America is largely about how America owed its superiority over Europe to its conscious decision to reject central planning and administrative rule, root and branch. Progressivism, in other words, is retrogressive. As Calvin Coolidge said on the 150th anniversary of the Declaration, and I quote, if all men are created equal, that is final.

If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the government, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions.

If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which they can proceed historically is not forward but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of individuals, no rule of the people. When Abraham Lincoln addressed the assembled crowd at Gettysburg, they had gathered to memorialize the past, but Lincoln's address urged them to not do so with complacency. Instead, Lincoln said, they should look to the past as inspiration to take them to greater heights in the future, and I quote, it is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion, that we were highly resolved that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom, and that this government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth.

As we are gathered to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration, it may be tempting to do so as if we are passive spectators. It may be tempting to enjoy our tea and crumpets, treat the Declaration like a shiny object or a keepsake, and listen to the sound of our own voices. We could get into debates over whose conception of the founding is better, over how we are so much better than our founders were, over what we would do differently.

We could be careful to not do anything that exposes us to criticism, costs us friends, or hurts our career prospects. But in my view, we must find in ourselves that same level of courage that the signers of the Declaration had, so that we can do for our future what they did for theirs. Each of you will have opportunities to be courageous every day, whether your calling in life is as a day laborer, a stay-at-home mom, a small business owner, an educator, an office worker, a judge, or some other endeavor.

It may mean speaking up in class tomorrow when someone around you expects you to live by lies. It may mean confronting today's fashionable bigotries, such as anti-Semitism. It may mean standing up for your religion when it is mocked and disparaged by a professor.

It may mean not budging on your principles when it will entail losing friends or being ostracized. It may mean running for your school board when you see that they are teaching your children to hate your values and our country. It may mean turning down a job offer that requires you to make moral or ethical compromises.

One thing I do know to be true. It will mean waking up every day with the resolve to withstand unfair criticism and attacks. These are the choices that we will confront, that will confront you, and you must decide whether to respond with timidity or with courage, as the signers of the Declaration did.

It will, of course, not be easy. It never is. But if, like me, you need a greater source of strength than yourselves, you will need to rely on your faith to guide and to sustain you through it all.

You will disappoint people you thought were friends and endure personal attacks, as well as attacks on those you care about. But if you stand, you will find that courage, like cowardice, can be habit-forming, and it will become a part of your life and a part of who you are. And I may dare say it is liberating.

You will also be a living example for others to emulate. So by all means, celebrate the Declaration of Independence. It is the most important act of American history, the foundation of our Constitution, and, as Lincoln said, the sheet anchor of our republic.

But I implore you to celebrate it by standing up for it, by defending it, and by recommitting yourselves to living up to its ideals. Channel the courage of the men who faced down a king and signed it. Or a president who led the nation in a civil war, rather than permit this house to be divided by the great contradiction of slavery.

Take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure. And, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine providence, let us mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor. Thank you, and may God continue to bless our country.”

White "Hate Crimes" Are So Rare That They Must Be Invented, Part 2

Is there any propaganda from the Democrats that aren’t lies, hoaxes/ fabrications or insults against Republicans; especially White persons?? Nope. We’ve found out more on the obvious “Charlottesville Hate hoax” —which, to many/most Trump supporters, was yet another entirely manufactured “psy-op” to defame Trump and his supporters.

Then every Democrat is the country lied about Trump saying Nazi’s were “very fine people,” when he actually totally disavowed them. Every Democrat continued that lie for YEARS knowing it was FALSE. It was the similar psyop as the J6 “insurrection,” the Trayvon Martin lies, etc.

Here’s information from Redstate about the conspiracy and staged Charlotteville hoax:

“On Tuesday, the Trump DOJ dropped a bombshell: an 11-count federal indictment charging the SPLC with wire fraud, bank fraud, and money laundering for secretly funneling more than $3 million in donor cash to actual extremists.

Among those nefarious payments was a staggering $270,000 allegedly paid to a member of the online leadership chat group that planned the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville. That paid insider attended the event at the SPLC’s direction, helped coordinate transportation for attendees, and even made racist postings under the group’s supervision.

That rally, of course, led to the wholly media-manufactured “fine people” hoax.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche explained how the law center funded hate groups, which allowed them to feign fighting said hate groups.

“The SPLC is manufacturing racism to justify its existence,” he said in a press release. “Using donor money to allegedly profit off Klansmen cannot go unchecked. This Department of Justice will hold the SPLC and every other fraudulent organization operating with the same deceptive playbook accountable. No entity is above the law.”

While the self-styled anti-hate warriors publicly denounced the very groups they were paying, they turned around and used those same activities to generate the fear porn that kept the donation spigot wide open.

Yes, the crazy/stoopid Leftist nigga lawyers at SPLC have been caught spending $millions to these truly despicable organizations to gin-up phony hate:

• Ku Klux Klan (how would one find a member? Maybe they number 1 or 2,000 in the entire country.

• American Nazi Party

• Aryan Nation

• United Klans of America

• Unite the Right

• National Alliance

• National Socialist Movement Sadistic Souls Motorcycle Club

• American Front

“The SPLC is manufacturing racism to justify its existence," he said in a press release. “Using donor money to allegedly profit off Klansmen cannot go unchecked. This Department of Justice will hold the SPLC and every other fraudulent organization operating with the same deceptive playbook accountable. No entity is above the law.”

Acting AG Todd Blanche: “The SPLC is manufacturing racism to justify its own existence. Using donor money to line the pockets of Klansmen and profit off hate cannot go unchecked.” "This is straight-up betrayal: the organization that built its brand “fighting hate” was allegedly funding it, stoking it, and cashing in on it."

From my post “White Hate Crimes” Are So Rare That They Must Be Invented”:

White persons in this country have been under media lies/falsehoods/hoaxes for at least a decade by Democrats who perpetuate slanders, libel, falsehoods and hoaxes to denigrate and/or degrade White person’s and Republican’s reputations.

There is an ongoing effort to disparage White Persons as horrible people and it’s sometimes being done by other self-hating White people. But most hate crime hoaxes are perpetrated by US Blacks.

In fact, there’s so much demand for “evidence” that slander and demean white citizens with “hate crimes,” that fake hate crimes and hoaxes must be invented to fill the demand! The big problem is that white persons rarely misbehave as much as the black and/or Democrat accusers! Blacks dominate crime, >50%, in America despite being only 13% of the population.

Why? BECAUSE WHITE PERSONS AND TRUMP SUPPORTER MUST BE SLANDERED AND LIED ABOUT!

At first these stories get a lot of traction with the disgusting media outlets, then sometimes the facts emerge YEARS LATER to indicate that it's Black or Leftists persons that are the ones full of shit, lies AND hate. Only rarely does the "Media" correct the record.

There's such a frenzy to cast White people as "haters" that there are websites that attempt catalog the very large number of Fake white hate crimes.  

One of the largest catalogs of fake hate hoaxes is found at "Fake Hate Crimes" with 459 entries and meticulous documentation. "Hoax Hate Crimes--When the Demand for Hate Crimes Outweighs the Supply…" is also very good with over 600 anti-white hate hoaxes.. From 2019, there's "Here are 50 Campus Hate-Crime Hoaxes The College Fix Has Covered Since 2012."

Many, if not all, of the hate hoaxes continue to be centered on slandering Donald Trump and his supporters (ie., generatlly the best people in this nation). After all, the entire Democrat Party called Trump and ALL of his supporters every name in the book!  And of course, usually black Democrats just pile-on to continue a long and disgusting history of black victimhood.  Dennis Prager did an article which I repeated at this blog If America Is So Racist, Why All the Race Hoaxes (Perp'd by Blacks/Idiots and leftis)??

Additionally, and perhaps the grand daddy of White Hate Hoaxes is the Kamloops: Greatest Hate Hoax Ever? from Jared Taylor at American Rennaissance included here:

Kamloops: The most absurd Hate Hoax Ever?

Leftists and Communists in Canada, including the despicable Justin Trudeau, alleged that 215 indigenous students were butchered and buried in a mass grave at the Kamloops Indian Residential School, a school run by the Order of Mary Immaculate, in British Columbia where the school operated from 1890 to 1978.

  

The worldwide assumption was that horrible, vicious nuns had either killed these children or let them die and covered the whole thing up. [Oh, those WHITE, CHRISTIAN nuns!!  They forced those kids to learn reading, writing in ENGLISH and taught math, which we now know is raycissss!  The horror!]  Of course we should assume that they are mass murderers, right?

A young academic (of course an academic!! Always and “academic!” At graduate schools, also known now as "indoctrination centers," any/every kind of nonsense or lie is supported by absurd and/or brainwashed students and their idiot "professors") said that she documented a mass grave of indian students. From Dorchester Review,

"the student, Sarah Beaulieu, used ground-penetrating radar in a search for the remains of children alleged by some to be buried there. She is a young anthropologist, an instructor in Anthropology and Sociology at the University of the Fraser Valley since 2018. Her preliminary report is actually based on depressions and abnormalities in the soil of an apple orchard near the school – not on exhumed remains."

Some of her "scans" might have been tree roots---not human remains. No human remains have ever been documented at all.  But based on this hate "evidence" an amazing series of agonized self-flagellations ensued (from the AmRen article):

1. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau grieved over the “dark and shameful chapter” in Canadian history and ordered all national flags be flown at half-mast.

2. The flag over parliament in Ottawa stayed lowered for five months.

3. Mr. Trudeau demanded that the Pope come to Canada. Of course Pope Francis piled-on.

4. That figure — so precise — of 215 dead children caught the imagination. The Vancouver Art Gallery laid out 215 pairs of children’s shoes as a memorial.

5. Similar collections appeared on the steps of churches and legislatures.

6. Canada Day was celebrated on July first, just one month after the discovery. The country was still in convulsions, so there was a movement to cancel Canada Day and “wear orange for our children” instead.

7. "Fashion" magazine took a break from “style, beauty & grooming, and wellness” to explain that wearing orange “symbolizes solidarity with Indigenous communities who are currently grieving the loss of their children.”

8. Canada Day celebrations were scrubbed all over the country and the government website for the national holiday emphasized “the pain and shame of darker episodes of our history, the repercussions of which are still felt today.”

9. Instead of the usual festivities, some people paraded sentiments such as “No pride in genocide.”

10. The government went all out and proclaimed a brand-new national holiday.

11. Now and forever more, the nation will celebrate Canada’s National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. It will be “an opportunity to honor the lost children and Survivors (note the upper case) of residential schools.”

12. Even the Calgary police went spiritual, with little orange loops pinned to their uniforms.

13. Other people celebrated differently. A mob defaced and tore down the statue of Queen Victoria in Winnipeg.  

14. The statue of Elizabeth II was toppled, too.

15. Hamilton, Ontario, used to have a statue of Canada’s first prime minister, John MacDonald. Not anymore!

16. Dozens of churches were burned and many more vandalized. [[0:08 – 0:13]] That was the more than century-old St. Jean Baptiste Parish church in Morinville, Alberta.

17. Indians know how to milk the white man. Chief Rosanne Casimir of the Kamloops area Indians lectured Prime Minister Trudeau and called for “restitution. [1:20 – 1:29  4:29 – 4:51]

18. The indigenous chief of the Lower Kootenay Band, Jason Louie, said "the discovery was an example of the mass murder of Indigenous people . . . . this attempt at genocide.”

Funny thing, many of the school's Indigenous students remember the school with fond memories, but there no "coverage" of those facts. 

Yes, over many years, some of the teachers and students died of influenza and other illnesses and were buried in marked graves at the school which is located in the middle of the reservation.

The punchline:  Not one body has been found. There was no "mass grave."  It now appears that the radar findings were of tree roots and other soil disturbances. The entire fraud is laid out in understated and devastating detail in The Dorchester Review, in an article called “ In Kamloops, Not One Body Has Been Found.”

Jared Taylor: "White people are, officially, the world’s worst people. That’s established fact, and what’s a little lying here and there in a good cause?  No other people in the history of the world have ever gloried in hating itself. And any people that keeps this up won’t survive."

Happer: Why Earth's Temperature Won't Rise Even if CO2 Doubles or Triples

From “How to Think About Climate Change” from Watts Up With That

Here’s a few figures to remind us of the very large scale circulation of both air and ocean water that result in an earth’s temperature equilibrium (not showing seasonal changes). And none of these figures shows all of the effects of “weather,”, ie., more localized and transient thunderstorms, fronts and cyclones that hoover-up heat at the surface and shunt it to the upper atmosphere. “Weather” protects us enormously. But I don’t believe anyone can model it!

Fig 1. Large Scale Atmospheric Heat Circulation: A Model of Atmospheric Redistribution of Heat Across the Earth—From the Equator to the Poles (Click to Enlarge)

 

Fig 2. Ocean Current’s Large Scale Heat Transport: A schematic of How Ocean Currents Distributes Heat Across the World (Click to Enlarge)

The Earth’s Daily Energy Balance

The graphic below, Fig 3, shows a heat balance of incoming radiation (heat) in YELLOW from the sun versus the Earth’s heat losses through radiation of heat back into space (RED). You can add up the balance on a daily basis: what comes in is also re-transmitted out.

Only about 51% of the sun’s incoming radiation from the sun makes it to where people live; ie., on the surface of the planet. Much of it is absorbed by the atmosphere itself and re-radiated back into space.

Then, at night, lower frequency radiation sends all of the day’s gain in energy back into space. Water vapor, Ozone and trace carbon dioxide are the main greenhouse gases retaining (blocking) some of the re-radiated heat. It’s these gases that work to keep the Earth from cooling TOO MUCH at night—giving us a nice climate equilibrium. Without the greenhouse gases the Earth would literally be in a permanent ice age, a glaciated snowball.

We’ll show at the end, that the absorption by earth’s current CO2, Water vapor, Ozone levels are blocking re-radiation of heat energy are already “maxxed-out”at current levels so that the heat retention at night is also “maxxed-out”— more CO2 in the atmosphere WOULD NOT warm the Earth (more on that below). 

Fig 3. Earth’s Daily Energy Balance (click to enlarge)

 Atmospheric Components That Block Both Incoming and Outgoing Radiation

Now we get to the complicated part of radiation and re-radiation as shown in the chart below (Fig 4). The incoming sun’s heat is shown below in RED—mostly visible (sun)light. Only about 51% of the sun’s energy reaches where we live (from above). The BLUE Area is lower frequency/energy radiation to outer space (much of it at night).

The frames below the colored incoming and outgoing energy show the “absorption” by the various greenhouse components in the Earth’s atmosphere and their effects are combined in the “Total Absorption and Scattering” frame. You can see that water vapor in air is doing the most to interrupt incoming AND outgoing heat. Water vapor is the biggest greenhouse gas. But water vapor, nitrogen, argon, CO2 and oxygen ozone are blocking some incoming radiation and re-radiation at night.

Water vapor, Ozone/O2 and CO2 helps prevent TOO MUCH heat escaping at night—keeping us in a nearly perfect daily temperature range. But it’s water vapor that does the most. CO2 plays a much smaller role.

Think of desert climates that are very dry (much less water vapor). At night, those places can get very, very cold AND very hot in the day. It shows how air’s water vapor mostly stabilizes our environment’s temperature. Carbon dioxide does some too, but it’s a smaller effect.

Figure 4 Incoming/Outgoing Radiation frequencies and the components in our atmosphere which absorb and block them. “The frame “Total Absorption and Scattering” is the sum of all blocking effects of the bottom 5 panels

Carbon dioxide mostly affects the night-time re-radiation and only marginally adds to the effect of water vapor in retaining heat at night. 

There’s a lot of blocking of radiation in total. The amount that makes it through FROM the sun is the RED area at the Left of the 1st Frame. The amount of energy re-radiated to space at night is the BLUE area at about 11 micro-meter frequency.

It’s mostly Water Vapor, Oxygen/Ozone and some CO2 that mostly blocks the re-radiation of the day’s solar energy gain and prevents Earth’s temperature from plunging at night (like a desert). Without this effect, the Earth would be much colder!

Without ANY Greenhouse Gases, the Earth Would be 50 deg F Colder!

Refer to to Figure 5 below. It’s same “blocking effects” of all the greenhouse gases shown in Figure 4.

The real “curve” is best described instead by a jagged black line. It’s significantly different than the smooth, theoretical modeling in blue.

The first big radiation block is caused by CO2 absorbing the re-radiation that would otherwise cool the Earth (Area = 307 Watts/m2) at night (at about 700 on Fig 5).

The green line shows the isolated effect of ZERO CO2 (0 ppm) in re-radiation. Much more heat would leave the Earth especially at night at 0 ppm CO2. This would induce seriously colder conditions on the planet—nearly 50 deg F colder!

The second big radiation block is absorption due to Ozone or O3/ (Area = 277 Watts/m2)—another greenhouse gas (at about 1100 on Fig 5).

The important point here is the red line (versus the actual black jagged line) at 700 units. This is what Earth would radiate to space if you were to double our CO2 concentration from today’s value of 400 ppm to 800 ppm.

If you double the amount of CO2, you just go from the black curve to the red curve, and you can barely see a difference. The re-radiation at night hardly changes. The Earth’s equilibrium temperature barely changes!

Fig. 5 Theoretical blocking effect of the 5 Greenhouse Gases (smooth blue line) versus the acutal “Blocking effect” of each greenhouse gas. Without Greenhouse Gases, the Earth would be 44 deg COLDER.

The important point here is the red line. If you double the amount of CO2 to 800 ppm, you don’t change much of CO2 blocking. It’s already “maxxed-out” and you can barely see a difference.

Happer must be correct as the rise in Earth’s temperatures is much lower than expected by many “scientists”. Check out the graph below showing the climate of the Earth is barely changing (compared to theoretical models):
