Unum I wrote this essay back in the summer of 2020. Now that Joe Biden is President, it bears repeating because much of what feared has, sadly, already taken place. Many Democrats and Liberals like to shout and scream about how we all need to become more climate-conscious. They like to march down streets and wave their placards and makeshift flags about the need to eliminate fracking and do away with fossil fuels. Make no mistake, the self-anointed leader of the Democratic Party, Joe Biden promised during his Presidential campaign that he would not "do away with fracking or oil and gas exploration",and then, as is his habit, did exactly the reverse once he was elected President. In the blink of an eye and a stroke of his pen, he abandoned the Keystone XL Pipeline, banned fracking and oil & gas exploration on federal lands, and now is thinking about canceling the Dakota Access Pipeline. His action has unilaterally abolished thousands of jobs and obliterated America’s Energy Independence which took us decades to achieve. His acolytes Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are overjoyed. Do any of these people truly understand what they have done? Let me try to answer this for all of you. The central question is: what do Biden’s actions mean for people like you and I and our children and grandchildren? Apart from putting thousands of people out of work, the Law of Unintended Consequences comes into play. For example, did you ever think about the products that are produced from petroleum? You surely must know that oil is a basic ingredient of more products than gasoline, heating, and motor oil. Let’s think about that for a minute or two, and then think of the implications for America and the number of people whose jobs would be displaced as a result of eliminating fossil fuels as a co...

The dim alarm showed 2:22 a.m. A familiar sound had woken her senses. The floor board in the hallway was creaking. There was just one piece of wood in the house that made that noise. The third from the entrance door.“Alan! Alan! She shook her husband quietly, whispering: “Someone is in the house, Alan. I am afraid.”Alan grabbed her hand. Jane was the love of his life. They had two children. A son and a daughter, 2 and 3, sleeping next door. “Call 911, Sweets”, he whispered. With bated breath, he opened the quick-release gun safe in his nightstand to secure his Sig P365. Alan’s heart was pounding.Suddenly, he remembered the horrible events that occurred just a few hours before. SJM, the newly formed Social Justice Militia, came for a children wellness check yesterday at 6:30 pm, just as the family sat down for dinner. They had kicked-in the door, their M4 carbines trained on them, waving an SJ-Judge-signed 4th Amendment Waiver: The SJ gun reform bill authorizes us to search these premises for firearms and ammunition. We have been informed that you have weapons in your house where also minors reside?”The couple didn’t understand. What waiver? What law? They looked at each other, puzzled. Claire and Alan Jr. started to cry. Alan opened his mouth to protest as one of the militia delivered a right hook that knocked him to the ground. He foamed: “Shut your white, capitalist trap! Where are the guns? Tell me now, or you and your brood go to jail!”The little man who had hit Alan ordered his two female guards to hand-cuff him. They did so gleefully, kicking him in his side, leaving him stunned. “In the bedroom…. we only have one gun.” The words came out hardly audible. “I have a license for it. It’s a legal gun. I am…” “Shut it, white boy. Show me where!” Alan got up, moaning in pain. He led them up the stairs to the bedroom ... Read more
