How America’s Recycling Program Failed—and Scarred the Environment Like many problems in American history, recycling began as a moral panic.

Details
Written by: Op-Ed Guest Post

In March 2019, The New York Times ran a shocking story exploring why many prominent US cities were abandoning their recycling programs.

“Philadelphia is now burning about half of its 1.5 million residents’ recycling material in an incinerator that converts waste to energy,” Times business writer Michael Corkery reported. “In Memphis, the international airport still has recycling bins around the terminals, but every collected can, bottle and newspaper is sent to a landfill.”

A sad day for our Patriotrealm community - a beloved pet has gone to the Rainbow Bridge

Written by: Op-Ed Shaydee Lane

Our beloved and adored writer Redhead, suffered a loss this afternoon. It was 2.30 pm when her loyal and devoted Jack Russell terrier departed this realm for the Rainbow Bridge.

I have just spoken with Mum, and she, like me is relieved that he has finally gone. It has been a tough 5 days for Redhead and her darling fur baby.  I am sure that you will feel, as I do, that her loss is Heaven's gain.

But the tears are falling and we are so sad to lose such a wonderful little lad who has been her companion for 17 and a half years.

Today you hear of so many incidents,  I cannot call them stories ,  of cruelty , neglect and down right 'don't give a damn " that you get to the stage where you say ,  please don't go into the details it is too upsetting.   I  can't listen to any more distressing tales of what some one has done to a child, an animal,  or an elderly person.

The Neutrality Acts - a lesson in history

Details
Written by: Op-Ed Happy Expat

For over 100 years prior to WW1, America had pursued a policy of neutrality and isolation. This policy prevailed until 1917 when President Woodrow Wilson persuaded Congress to allow US forces to fight alongside Britain and France in the interests of preserving democracy and world peace. America did not enter a formal alliance but fought alongside the Allies.

Suffice to say, some interesting times ahead.....

The Battle of the Coral Sea - did it save Australia?

Details
Written by: Op-Ed Happy Expat
 

The Battle of the Coral Sea is regarded by some as the action that saved Australia in WW2. That is an over-simplistic view in my opinion. It was certainly a major factor in turning the tide against Japan but it was one of a conglomerate of successful campaigns which, together, stopped their advance in the Pacific.

We’re in It Now for Sure

Written by: Op-Ed James Kunstler

Now, we’re finding out the hard way how much daily life must change, and is changing, and how disorderly that process is in every way from the imperative daily life adjustments to our spiritual attitudes about them…

When I wrote The Long Emergency nearly twenty years ago, I never thought that, once it got going, our government would work so hard to make it worse. My theory then was just that government would become increasingly bloated, ineffectual, impotent, and uncomprehending of the forces converging to undermine our advanced techno-industrial societies. What I didn’t imagine was that government would bring such ostentatious stupidity to all that.

Is this childhood's end?

Details
Written by: Op-Ed James Kunstler

America has become a malfunctioning pageant without feasible roles that children can realistically project themselves into….

The phoniest trope in American life goes like this: We must find the cause of X so that it never happens again. Of course, it will happen again. We only pretend that the cause is a mystery. Let’s count the ways that school massacres happen.

When is free speech an excuse to abuse and take over our homes and ways of life?

Details
Written by: Op-Ed Shaydee Lane

We have been living in a world where someone can abuse, ridicule and yell and scream; all under the guise of free speech. However, I have to question. What is the point of no return when some feel that free speech is an excuse for bad manners, a big mouth and an open cheque book for smart arse behaviour and disrespectful behaviour and words?

Government has to get out of our lives. Children have Rights and the Right to be a Child is the greatest RIGHT of all.

Written by: Op-Ed Dr Don Boys

Uvalde, Texas, is draped in dreary, black crepe as city funeral homes struggle to schedule somber funerals for 19 children and two adults. Numerous families weep at the unnecessary, useless, and almost unbelievable loss of so many children and adults.

I want to know how an unemployed school dropout got about $5,000 to purchase two “assault rifles.” Furthermore, I want to know why it took 150 law enforcement officers about an hour before anyone entered the school and took down the shooter.

I remember when... I first heard of money trees

Details
Written by: Op-Ed Shaydee Lane

The leftie luvvies believe that we can prevent the bullshit “ Climate Catastrophe “ by handing out free everything to everyone and planting trees on agricultural land, becoming vegan, slaughtering all the cattle and sheep and putting hundreds of thousands out of work by closing down coal power.

Apparently, this will all be done by planting a peculiar kind of tree that grows money.

This new species of tree was invented in 1959 by Mr Bumbledrop in a make believe land called Topsy Turvy Land.
