Having Another Crack at Permanent Daylight Saving Time.

It will fail like the last time. Nearly 50 years ago, in April 1973, President Nixon (during an OPEC oil embargo, no less) signed a bill from Congress enacting a renewable one-year trial of permanent daylight saving time. It was much debated, with opponents in and out of Congress arguing it would lead to, amongContinue reading “Having Another Crack at Permanent Daylight Saving Time.”

Compare and Contrast.

Holiness, whose side are you on? From the Catholic News Agency: After the legislature of the Mexican state of Sinaloa voted to legalize abortion up to 13 weeks (emphasis mine),the Diocese of Culiacán announced that Catholic politicians who voted in favor of the law will not be able to receive the Eucharist or be godparents.Continue reading “Compare and Contrast.”

Cloward-Piven Redux.

To reform something you must destroy it. Comes word the President’s puppeteers have decided he should decide to again open wide our borders with Mexico. The contrived rationale is somewhat complex (if you wish to slog through it, click here), but it hardly matters; the sole purpose is bringing in thousands or millions of illegalsContinue reading “Cloward-Piven Redux.”

The bishop is only 57; bishops are required to submitContinue reading “Francis Cancels Another Conservative.”

The Anglos of Taos, the largest ethnic group here and the last to arrive, are mostly solidly blue in their politics (which is not necessarily the case with the outnumbered Hispanos and Mestizos, who have been here for centuries). Blue Anglos are easy to pick out byContinue reading “Where Have They All Gone?”

Sometimes Circumstances Dictate Expediency.

New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham today became a Republican, not actually registering as one (perish the thought!), rather by signing a bunch of Republican-like measures into law, as reported by the Associated Press. Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham signing a package of tax rebates, credits and rate reductions worth about $530 million in theContinue reading “Sometimes Circumstances Dictate Expediency.”

I Won’t Do It! I Won’t, I Won’t, I Won’t!

Leading from below. From Town Hall. Whether you agree with the [Russian oil import] ban or not, one thing is clear: Biden didn’t lead on this decision. His team has been cagey at best when questions have come up about why Russian oil hadn’t yet been banned amid multiple rounds of sanctions levied against RussianContinue reading “I Won’t Do It! I Won’t, I Won’t, I Won’t!”
