January 30, 2022: Grand Jury in Georgia Will Go after Trump; 2021 Sixth Hottest Year

1/30/21: We keep trying to leave Loser Don in the rearview mirror of history – but Loser Don keeps creeping up behind, like Jeffrey Dahmer hungering for a snack.

In no particular order, a few bits of news. In Georgia, a special grand jury will be impaneled on May 2, to look into possible election fraud crimes committed by…Donald J. Trump. This would be quite humorous, save for the fact that Trump was asking a top election official in that state to shatter the law. 

Mr. Blogger has asked friends and relatives if they’ve heard Trump’s January 2, 2021, call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. 

So far, none have. 

I urge you, then, if you’d like to hear a man suborn election fraud, by virtue of “finding” a few thousand votes, give it a shot.

 

Speaking of crimes, Loser Don is already talking about who he’d like to pardon if we’re dumb enough to elect him again. Saturday, at another one of his “Save America” rallies, he told fans, “If I run and I win, we will treat those people from January 6 fairly. We will treat them fairly, and if it requires pardons, we will give them pardons because they are being treated so unfairly.” 

Here, we should probably stop a moment, and remind ourselves erHr   that as president, he has already said he had “an absolute right to pardon himself.” 

Even longtime GOP Sen. Charles Grassley, who has at least some of his principles intact, scoffed at that idea – although then-White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders refused to rule it out. “If I were President of the United States, and I had a lawyer who told me I could pardon myself,” Grassley explained to a reporter, “I think I’d hire a new lawyer.” He pivoted suddenly and walked away in disgust.

HOW ABOUT Joe Biden? How’s he doing? Okay, he’s down in the polls. Still, the economy grew by 5.7% in 2021. That’s the best performance since 1984. 

Wait, Mr. Blogger, do you mean “Sleepy Joe” did better in his first year than Trump did in any of his four? And did it without giving fat tax cuts to fat cats – like Trump gave himself? 

I do.

IF MR. BLOGGER has said this once, he has said it enough times to annoy all his friends. Not all politicians are alike. 

The Biden administration, for example, believes climate change is real, unlike the dolts who steered the ship of state under Loser Don. Did you know, for example, that we now have a “global climate envoy?” 

And can you name him or her? Don’t kid yourself. You can’t. Neither could Mr. Blogger until he saw a recent story. That envoy is Sarah Palin. 

No, no, no! I jest. It’s John Kerry, who, in a recent virtual meeting, warned the world’s most prolific polluting nations, “We must all move faster” to head off disaster for humanity. 

He was even more pointed when he spoke at an event sponsored by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. “We’re in trouble,” Kerry told his audience. “I hope everyone can understand that. Not trouble we can’t get out of. But we’re not on a good track.”

 

Who else is worried? Scientists. 

Scientists at NASA. 

They report that 2021 finished as the sixth hottest year on record. Since 1988, when James Hansen first warned that NASA data indicated the planet was warming, temperatures have continued to climb. 

Today, 1988 ranks as the 28th warmest year. The nine years during which Mr. Blogger’s first grandchild has been alive, 2013-2021, rank in the top ten hottest ever. 

The oceans of the world (which have luckily sopped up much of the excess heat generated since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution) were hotter in 2021 than ever before. That marked the sixth consecutive annual record for “hottest ever” waters. 


Almost every spot on the globe was hotter in 2021 than normal.
The Arctic was particularly warm.
