Why Oklahoma Should Reject CO2 Sequestration
Dr. Jordan Peterson’s words cut through the climate hysteria with a truth that resonates in Oklahoma’s heartland: CO2 isn’t the villain it’s made out to be.
“If there’s more carbon dioxide the plants can close their breathing pores more and they don’t lose water and so not only is there 20 percent more vegetation, which is a lot. I think it’s twice the area of the United States that’s greened. That’s a lot of green. And where our agricultural production is more effective. And the places that have greened were the very places that the deserts were supposed to expand into. And so, right, because they’ve greened, they’ve shrunk, not grown,” he said — Dr. Jordan Peterson on the Joe Rogan Podcast (1:11:01 through 1:14:30)
In a state that powers America with oil, gas, and wind, the federal government’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 is a bloated overreach, funneling billions into green energy and carbon dioxide (CO2) capture, utilization, and sequestration (CCUS). This subsidy-soaked scheme clashes with Oklahoma’s free-market ethos, squandering taxpayer dollars on CO2 sequestration, a costly dead end that ignores the natural benefits of CO2 in greening the planet and boosting agriculture. Conservatives across the Sooner State are demanding an end to federal meddling and a return to innovation-driven prosperity.

By David Arnett
A recent study by researchers at Cornell, Columbia, and University of California- Berkeley links addictive screen use by adolescents to an increase in suicidal behaviors. The study followed 4,285 U.S. adolescents over a four-year period, and the results imply overwhelmingly that the key element driving risk of suicidal behavior is not total time but rather addictive use of social media, mobile phones, and video games.
“This is the first study to identify that addictive use is important, and is actually the root cause, instead of time,” said lead author Yunyu Xiao, assistant professor of psychiatry and population health sciences at Weill Cornell Medical College.

By Mattias Desmet
Dear friends, followers, and critics,
We are at a pivotal moment. On one hand, we are witnessing the collapse of the corona narrative; on the other, we are seeing a new mass formation arising around the story of the war in Ukraine. These two phenomena are not occurring by chance at the same time.
What everyone who wanted to know had already long known, is now slowly seeping through to newspapers and news programs: we can stop blaming the bats from Wuhan. The coronavirus came from a lab in Wuhan, where, indeed, they were experimenting with coronaviruses. What is now emerging in the mainstream media is even worse than just the fact that the virus came from a lab. It is also becoming clear that (some of) those who promoted the measures always knew it came from a lab.

It’s Kept Me Going
Retirement isn’t always a breeze, especially as you get older. As we age, health problems can get worse, income becomes more limited, and it seems like access to high-quality, affordable health care gets harder and harder to come by. That’s why, for me at least, Medicare Advantage has been a godsend.
