Even the money spent on making these pins could have been spent to help people. That’s Dempublican Republicrat virtur signaling for ya.

Tee Cee’s Tip for Monday, June 10
Frank Anderson: There is no quandary to sane people.
Dave Larison: Enviro extremists like Tee Cee act as if plastic bottles are a deadly radioactive material! Keep the team using single bottles in the heat, for crying out loud.

Jake Walker: Happy Pride! You are loved and seen.
Dieter Skowron: God save our kids from this agenda.
Jessica Dahlia: This is great! LGBTQ kids exist and should be allowed to enjoy pride as well. To all the people crying about this, they are doing arts and crafts for 2 hours at a library. It’s not that big of a deal. LGBTQ kids exist. It’s something you are born with, not indoctrinated into, like Christianity for example.
Ronnie Hatfield: Leave the kids alone.

Boulder scientists show Antarctic ice shelves fracture under weight of meltwater lakes
Mebelile Meb: Boulder scientists. Big surprise there …
Steve Schlosser: Nobody cares. Lower taxes and make cost of living cheaper.
Ken Davis: The meltwater doen’t weigh any more than the ice that contained the water …
Dave Vayda: No kidding???? HA! The mini-ice age ended in 1850. It’s only a natural cycle to warm up after an ice age. Before our SUVs and the “evil of capitalism,” yes, an ice age ended. It happens. Blame the cars of the day. Lol.
Claude Rose: I’m not a scientist and don’t claim to be, but the scientist that are professional have been wrong at almost every prediction so far. This ice was supposed to be completely melted by 2012,and no kids today would be seeing snow.
Patrick Lyons: Oh now, more taxes and research dollars will fix this!
Patrick Lowrey: We can’t change it and never will be able to. This planet will shake us off like dog with fleas and be fine. Oceans may all freeze over in a 100 million years for all we know. Climate change has been going on since the beginning.

Sam Foreman: Give the teachers a raise! As if his 200k salary isn’t enough.

Jj Vandagriff: I believe ” less is more”
Nick Irish-Hooligan Harrell: And what will it do with 6 million
