Foundry Groups: Inability to Find Workers 'Has Reached Crisis Level':

The American Foundry Society (AFS) and the Foundry Association of Michigan (FAM) sent a letter to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) Thursday urging her to end extended unemployment benefits.

In a letter obtained by Breitbart News, the two groups said the “number one issue” facing the metalcasting industry is “the inability to find workers” and said it “has reached a crisis level.”

"Without tradition or culture and the dilgence to keep it alive our value systems and lessons learned by our ancestors will be soon forgotten and Western civilization will descend in to chaos as a result of the forgotten history and disregard for its tradition and value structure.

Jordan Peterson sits down with former Deputy Prime Minister John Anderson and they discuss this topic and Jordan peterson provides us with an education on concepts in psychology like Memory and its function.

John Anderson starts off with words of Churchill, as Jordan Peterson unpacks the statement made."

Study: Coral Numbers Show Climate-Related Extinction Threat Is Non-Existent | Climate Change Dispatch

"That climate change threatens the extinction of coral reefs is among the least well-founded but most persistent assertions made by climate alarmists.

In truth, scientists have previously had no clear population count of how many individual corals and coral species existed worldwide.

However, new research described in an article on Phys.org, titled “Half a trillion corals: World-first coral count prompts rethink of extinction risks,” places the number of corals in the Pacific Ocean alone at more than half a trillion.

There are likely trillions more worldwide.

The scientists involved in the research say the sheer number of corals and coral species means the risk of extinction due to climate change is vastly lower than previously claimed.

"TOPLINE-- As a handful of rich countries hoard the world’s Covid-19 vaccine supplies and start to immunize lower risk groups and authorize shots for use in children, the head of the World Health Organization implored them to reconsider and instead donate the much-needed supplies to the organization’s vaccine-sharing initiative, Covax...Read all.

Poll: Majority of Swing Voters Oppose Biden's Surge of Refugees to U.S.:

The majority of swing voters oppose President Joe Biden’s increase of refugee resettlement to the United States, a Morning Consult/Politico poll shows.

After the refugee lobby and Democrats denounced Biden’s original plan to keep the Trump-set refugee cap of 15,000 admissions for Fiscal Year 2021, the administration reversed course and announced they would boost the cap to 62,500 admissions.

AP CEO Weighs in on Whether They Knew Hamas Was In Their Building in Gaza

"...I’m not sure that admitting to being ignorant is a best take for the AP to have here. Kind of makes everyone think you really aren’t very good at your job. You know, that whole journalism thing, or that they’re just not wanting to admit that they knew. If the choice is between believing Israeli intelligence and the AP, I’m going to go with the Israeli intelligence.

...But let’s recall the way that they responded during the BLM/Antifa riots, with millions of dollars in property destruction.

Suddenly they realized that property destruction does matter — when it’s their own. But the destruction of the property of Americans apparently didn’t matter, when the AP had no problem with the ideology of those doing the destruction...Read all.

The Ethanol Gasoline Tax - WSJ

Gasoline prices hit a six-year high this week amid the Colonial Pipeline shutdown and a rebound in demand as more people hit the road. But one overlooked cause of higher prices at the pump is Congress’s ethanol mandate.

...Refiners are crashing into what’s known as the “blend wall”—i.e., the volume of ethanol that can be sold given existing cars and infrastructure.

Warranties don’t allow older cars to run on ethanol blends higher than 10% because it can corrode engines.

Ditto storage tanks and pumps at the gas station.

...Hence, RINs prices shot up again.

Corn prices have skyrocketed 125% in the past year, pushing up ethanol and RINs prices.

RINs this week were trading at $1.90 per gallon, up from 15 cents in January 2020.

Our sources estimate the ethanol mandate is adding about 30 cents a gallon to the wholesale cost of gas on average.

The federal gas tax is 18.4 cents...Read all.

Sociologist schooled after saying 'Christian' is the 'greatest ethnic dog whistle the right has ever come up with' since it means 'white' and 'people like us' - TheBlaze

Sociologist schooled after saying 'Christian' is the 'greatest ethnic dog whistle the right has ever come up with' since it means 'white' and 'people like us' - TheBlaze: "The greatest ethnic dog whistle the right has ever come up with is 'Christian,' because it means 'people like us,' it means white." The above quote is attributed to University of Oklahoma sociologist Samuel Perry, according to a recent New Yorker feature story by Eliza Griswold that explores "Christian nationalism." In context, Perry's quote appears in a paragraph that leads with:

CAUGHT: ‘Inconvenient’ U.S. Wildfire Data Has Been ‘Disappeared’ by National Interagency Fire Center

"It’s been an open secret, ever since Dr. Michael Mann used “Mike’s Nature Trick” to “hide the decline” by covering up some inconvenient tree ring data in the hockey stick climate graph, that climate alarmists will go to almost any length to only show the public the “crisis side” of climate data.

The National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) has been the keeper of U.S. wildfire data for decades, tracking both the number of wildfires and acreage burned all the way back to 1926. However, after making that entire dataset public for decades, now, in a blatant act of cherry picking, NIFC “disappeared” a portion of it, and only show data from 1983. You can see it here.

Fortunately, the Internet never forgets, and the entire dataset is preserved on the Internet Wayback machine and other places, despite NIFC’s ham-handed attempt to disappear the data.

Why would they do this you ask?

The answer is simple; data prior to 1983 shows that U.S. wildfires were far worse both in frequency and total acreage burned. By disappearing all data prior to 1983, which just happens to be the lowest point in the dataset, now all of the sudden we get a positive slope of worsening wildfire aligning with increased global temperature, which is perfect for claiming “climate change is making wildfire worse”. See figure 1 below for a before and after comparison of what the data looks like when you plot it...Read all.
