A stand of rare elkhorn coral off Mexico shows the effects of bleach from rising sea temperatures, which also have hammered reefs off the Florida Keys over the last few years. A new study showing some lab-bred juvenile corals survived offers scientists a glimmer of hope in restoring reefs threatened by continuing climate change.

Climate change

What harm would it be to protect the planet? I don’t get it. Is it just an excuse for oil companies to plunder our natural resources? Such harm can come from digging into the earth, polluting the water and air.

Embarrassing

If I were Kristi Noem or Marco Rubio I’d be embarrassed that the best words I could come up with at a microphone were parroted from Donald Trump.

Federal government

The federal government had gotten too big when so much time was spent discussing the merit of aborting human fetuses.

D.C.’s voting

As the Social Democrats continue tripling down on their maniacal rant following the election, it is a good time for every voter to learn something about just how out of touch Washington, DC is on a daily basis. In the last three national elections for President, the District of Columbia has devoted over ninety percent of its votes to the liberal candidates. For those of you victimized by public schools, this demonstrates that the capital city is a bureaucratic quagmire controlled by social parasites.

Wait and see

Tesla Inc. stocks have soared since the election. I would bet this will be short lived since most people who buy electric cars are rich and educated. That eliminates most of Donald Trump’s supporters.

Smart tech

Gulfport High School’s sprinklers come on every day, even after heavy rains. Maybe someone should investigate meters that detect the dampness of the soil and regulates whether it should come on.

No justice

Phil Bryant was poising with Donald Trump, with all smiles. I guess criminals stick together. We won’t see any justice for that missing welfare money. They found their scapegoat in Brett Favre.
