Bob Grise, St. Joseph
Let me congratulate Newsleader editor Dennis Dalman on his relentless mission to inform our community about Democrat talking points. He reminds me of Sen. Barrack Obama in 2008 for his bright-eyed innocence, repeating talking points with confidence and swagger, like those ideas might actually work. They don’t. Obama, with a wink and a smile in 2008, told us how everything we had been doing was WRONG. Eight years later, we have had the worst recovery from a recession, Obamacare is not affordable, (said Minnesota Gov. Dayton), Middle East foreign policy is in shambles and what about Russia? Didn’t Obama laugh Romney off the stage on that one four years ago? Now all we hear from the Democrats is Russia, Russia and Trump’s a liar. But through all that failure, including the loss of more than 1,000 Democrat seats nationwide, Dalman never lost faith in those talking points. His latest is on climate change. Dalman says he has learned a slight increase in temperature causes all kinds of extreme weather, (excluding Atlantic hurricanes, I presume). Bob Weisman’s Ultimate Climate Page at St. Cloud State University lists the top 10 warmest summers in St. Cloud history – in the year 1936 there were 36 days with highs of 90 or above; 1900 – 34; 1988 – 33; 1931 – 31; 1910 – 29; 1933 – 28.; 1934 – 28; 1937 – 26; 1901 – 25; 1930 – 23. Looks like our climate has become less extreme. As for NOAA and NASA, they have been caught adjusting past temps – read about that at realclimatescience.com. Under Democrat ideas for eight years, everything got worse. We blew billions of taxpayer dollars on green-energy boondoggles, raised taxes, national debt soared, appeased tyrants, stopped pipelines, almost nobody can afford health insurance, the JV Islamo nut team moved up to varsity, Iran is rolling in dough and we created mostly part-time jobs. (No wonder Hillary Clinton lost). People suffered while Obama played 333 rounds of golf. Maybe we should have seen Obama’s Columbia College records? Maybe all Barry had to hide was “incomplete, incomplete, incomplete.”
