The PBS NewsHour Features Small Town Newspapers – Ed O´Rourke
This is a fine story about the small town newspapers and how they are important to communities. To prepare for my next trip to the US, I started an electronic subscription to the Edina Sentinel two and a half years ago. I started realizing that the local newspaper was the glue that holds the social fabric…
The Gulf Stream Is on the Path to Collapse – Ed O´Rourke
If the searing heat and record flooding aren’t enough to get us moving toward a net-zero carbon world, then surely waking up to the news that the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) could potentially collapse within three years is just the ticket. See the complete story here. Sincerely, Ed Atlantic current collapse threat begs question: If not…
Asking President Biden to Declare a National Emergency – Ed O’Rourke
What climate scientists have been saying for years has now hit with all its violence and fury. Our precious planet is in a death spiral.

In early June, 2023, former intelligence officer David Grusch told reporters that the US government and contracted corporations have had a crash retrieval program for several decades.

May the Republican Party, United Nations, Wall Street, Pope Francis, the European Union and everybody start making transformations…

How MAGA Republicans See the World – Ed O´Rourke
They have much enthusiasm from group solidarity. In the late 1960s and much of the 1970s, I was an avid Dallas Cowboy fan. An especially enjoyable time was as a student at St. Thomas High School. I do not understand how people in huge numbers consider a narcissistic, sociopathic billionaire a savior. He gives tax cuts to…
World’s 500 Richest People Added $852 Billion to Their Wealth in First Half of 2023 – Ed O´Rourke
In 1969, I started taking graduate level courses in economics at UT-Austin when I first real about trickle down economics. When you propose a new theory, you build a model and data that shows how the new theory will work. Nothing like that ever happened with trickle down economics. All I saw then and ever since…
