Happy Thanksgiving week! This week marks the five-year anniversary of me being a contributor to the amazing online community that is the Ace of Spades HQ.
Since then, and as a result, I have had several more writing opportunities open up to me, including at The Blaze, for whom I am currently a contributing writer. I have also developed some great relationships with people involved in politics and policy, and I have established friendships with quite a few of Ace’s readers. There are not words that can express how much I appreciate the support and mentorship I have received from the co-bloggers. And of course, I am profoundly grateful to Ace for allowing me a forum on the very best political blog around. I’m also very grateful for all of the feedback, tips, and suggestions I receive from readers of the blog. Above all else, my loving wife has embraced and supported my time-consuming writing venture. I am dearly blessed to have her as my partner in life.
As much as I enjoy being published at other sites, I don’t plan on uprooting from this wonderful site any time soon - so long as you will have me. Among my many blessings, the Ace of Spades community is a significant one.
Thank you again.
A primary focus of my writing has been the climate hoax and all its various tentacles, including the green energy scam, net zero / decarbonization, ESG, government subsidization of green businesses, etc. (I might have also done a piece or two about electric vehicles, and periodically mentioned my affinity for music that includes an upright bass.)
Ultimately, the climate scam overlaps pretty much all of the left’s agenda, from the radical gender crusade to corporate woke capital.
In fact, at the current UN Climate Conference, they are focusing on “gender responsive climate action.”
St. Greta of The Sustainable Organic Church of the Carbon Apocalypse is now wearing a keffiyeh in support of the Palestinians who attacked Israel and committed mass murder against Jews.
The absolute nonsense of it all becomes clearer when you realize that if you oppose the transgender agenda, then you are a climate denier. If you support Israel’s right to self-defense, then you are a climate denier.
As I watch the climate cult become more deeply entwined with the most radical activists on the left, I have never been more proud to be a “climate denier.”
Somewhat related, Matt Gaetz’s nomination to be Attorney General and his subsequent withdrawal has been the topic of much discussion among conservatives.
While I appreciate how Gaetz has generally battled for the MAGA agenda, and especially for dethroning House Speaker Kevin McCarthy for betraying the conservatives who helped McCarthy obtain that position, I still don’t trust Gaetz.
Matt Gaetz is an outspoken believer in the climate hoax, stating as recently as 2020 that “Climate Change is real. Climate change is urgent.”
I don’t trust any climate cultist to be heading the Justice Department, where “climate deniers” like me might need to fear being the target of “climate justice” because “climate change is urgent.”
My latest piece at The Blaze takes a look at the reasons Big Oil is opposed to Donald Trump withdrawing the U.S. from the anti-petroleum Paris Climate Agreement. This piece is behind a paywall, but if you have a Blaze subscription, I’d be honored if you’d give it a read.
Finally, as we gather this week to give thanks for the blessings our Creator has bestowed upon us in this favored land, here is a traditional Thanksgiving hymn to hum while you prepare for the feast. (And, yes there is an upright bass in the orchestra!)
WE GATHER TOGETHER
We gather together to ask the Lord's blessing;
He chastens and hastens His will to make known;
The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing.
Sing praises to His name, He forgets not His own.
Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining,
ordaining, maintaining His kingdom divine;
So from the beginning the fight we were winning:
Thou Lord was at our side - the glory be Thine!
We all do extol Thee, Thou leader in battle,
and pray that Thou still our defender wilt be.
Let Thy congregation escape tribulation;
Thy name be ever praised! O Lord, make us free!
Happy Thanksgiving!
