I believe what I say and believe I am right. Thus, the title of my column, Undeniably Right. Take it as you will, that I'm a conservative or I have a huge ego and believe I am always correct. Sometimes those things overlap, sometimes not.

Yes, we know why!
Don't you find it odd that we are being told by multiple states that we will not know the results of the election for several weeks. The midterm elections we knew very quickly because things are automated. Doesn't it seem like giving somebody weeks to count the ballots increases the chances that there will be irregularities?
The Democrats have tried to pass laws this year both federally and at the state level that would make it a criminal infraction to question the outcome of the election or even to challenge the outcome of an election based upon claims of voter fraud. Why would they need to preemptively prevent people from investigating something that should be investigated?
As I have gotten older and quite frankly closer to the end of my life, I've become much more aware of what I put into my body. From food and drink to medicine. Like many of you I have gained weight and it's harder to lose weight as you get older. Many of us have fallen into the trap of eating foods that are convenient but we've also been told that we have to eat foods that are low in fat. And whenever we get a sniffle or an ache, we are quick to take medication.
Over the last few years, I've been thinking about how obese we are as a society. It's something of which we are all aware. Look at photos of our parents, grandparents, and great grandparents. Finding someone who was obese is difficult. In fact, truly obese people were part of the sideshow in the circus. Yet think about how they ate and prepared their meals. Who didn't have a coffee can full of bacon grease in their kitchen? All kinds of high fat food were served at meals.
I'm wondering what the real reason for what (?) is.
While Joe tells reporters that those whose lives have been upended by Hurricane Helene are happy with the $750 dollars promised them by the federal government, we are watching once again the generosity of the American people. And what can generously be called inefficiency of the federal government.
FEMA has responded but the response has been slow. Insurance companies have gotten heavy equipment into areas that need debris to be cleared or roads to be built so they can help those that are stranded. Right alongside them are private individuals with their own equipment aiding in the effort. But don't worry, the feds will be there soon.
The problem with all of these activist groups and the progressive ones especially, is that you just cannot please them. They claim to have a stated goal of improving our climate, or not polluting the earth and so on.
Somebody comes along and does what these groups claim they want done; you think they would be happy right? You have not been paying attention.
ExxonMobil has long been in the plastic recycling business. They have recycled 60 million pounds of plastic already. They are spending billions of dollars to build a plastic recycling plant in Texas. The plant will use technology known as advanced recycling, which ExxonMobil claims can recycle all plastics into usable products.
Will there be surprises?
