Apparently, the political left has no ethics alarms whatsoever when it sees an opportunity to gain crushing power. That’s the unavoidable message conveyed by two ominous developments—both so far only portending possible real world consequences while expressing Democratic Party aspirations of overwhelming dominance—regarding climate change fearmongering.

First, we learned that four Democratic Senators, the Marxist from Vermont, Bernie Sanders, Ed Markey, a Massachusetts Democrat (and you know what that means) Jeff Merkley from Oregon, which is as at least as wokified as Mass., and Native American Elizabeth Warren sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland urging him to sue the fossil fuel industry. “Big oil has known for decades that they are fueling the climate crisis and lied to hide it,” Markey tweeted. “Now, we’re seeing record-breaking temperatures and unprecedented damage. We must hold them accountable for their misleading, unforgivable campaigning.”

Typical: Markey issues misleading public statements while saying that the oil industry is guilty of misleading the public. 1) There are no “record-breaking temperatures” because there’s no way to tell what the records are. This Big Lie all by itself marks Markey as science dunce and a climate change propaganda hack. NASA has repeatedly said that it is impossible to determine global temperatures with sufficient accuracy to declare “records” before methods of measurement existed. 2) “Unprecedented damage” is meaningless gibberish. 3) Oil companies have every right to protect their business and serving the public interest by countering purely speculative and politically motivated doomsday lobbying by irresponsible activists.

This makes sense only in a distorted reality where people deliberately ignore the obvious and insist that facts don’t matter. You know, like Superman Comics’ Bizarro World, where the stupid populace eats the plates and throws away the food.

A complaint filed with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) last week by the group HOPE Fair Housing Center argues that landlords who refuse to rent to applicants with a history of not paying rent and getting evicted are illegally discriminating based on the basis of race and sex. It’s the old disparate impact canard: “A housing provider that enforces a policy that denies the opportunity to rent to anyone who has an eviction filing or judgment is disproportionately denying housing to Black households and Black women in particular,” wrote HOPE Deputy Director Josefina Navar. Now, everyone knows why landlords don’t want to rent to people who have failed to pay rent in the past and gotten themselves evicted or forced the property’s owner to threaten eviction: landlords want to be paid what they’re owed, on time, without legal hassles and expense. That’s all.
