There is no bird theory
Do the members of the Jackson County Republican Central Committee also think there are no birds?

A great reset with a difference
In an AP article in the July 27 Tribune, I read “Climate misinformation leaves lasting mark as world warms.”
What if the small amount of warming is mostly expressed as less cold weather? What if increased CO2 increases crop production? What if civilizations thrive in warmer weather?
We see weather extremes and speculate, but realistic scientists, if not constrained by politics, measure actual climate change.
Much of world politics and economics is based on the claim that CO2 is bad. What if increasing CO2 is good? Climate realism, which AP calls misinformation, by measuring the climate with accurate measurements of continents for more than 100 years, rather than relying on corrupt computer models and fear-mongering, can show that storms, floods and hot days they are not unprecedented. Sometimes facts attract attention.
This would upset the World Economic Forum and all the resulting global political and economic chaos. Nations would prosper and people could relax, knowing that the world will not end in 12 years.

The threat to our democracy
Jackson County Republicans recently announced that they were “rejecting the certified results of the 2020 presidential election.” They are putting blind loyalty to Trump above the good of our nation.
For the first time in American history, our democracy is threatened by a presidential candidate who refuses to accept the results of the election. Since his defeat in 2020, Trump has claimed a cascade of lies, all debunked, and engaged in multiple illegal schemes to decertify the election. When they failed, he called supporters to Washington and urged them to march on the Capitol on January 6.
To support their rejection of our electoral system, local Republicans are riffing on the thoroughly discredited propaganda film “2000 Mules.” It was produced by Dinesh D’Souza, who actually served time for, that’s right, an election rigging crime.
The threat to our democracy is not “voter fraud” but GOP cultists worshiping a con artist who would destroy our democracy to maintain personal power. Responsible Republicans need to take their party back before it’s too late. Will Commissioners Dyer, Dotterer and Roberts publicly denounce this outrageous attack on our election system by the Jackson County Republican Central Committee? If not, they show themselves unworthy of public office.
