Kang and Kodos on The Simpsons say, “Foolish Earthlings.”
Lefties say foolish right-wingers.
CNN reported, “A federal agency is considering a ban on gas stoves, a source of indoor pollution linked to childhood asthma.
“Richard Trumka Jr., a U.S. Consumer Product Safety commissioner, set off a firestorm this week by saying in an interview with Bloomberg that gas stoves posed a ‘hidden hazard’ and suggested the agency could ban them.”
Sounds goofy, but the story said later, “A December 2022 study in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health found that indoor gas stove usage is associated with an increased risk of current asthma among children. The study found that almost 13% of current childhood asthma in the U.S. is attributable to gas stove use.”
So far that one study in a little-known academic journal is the only study the media has cited. Who knew so many political reporters subscribed to the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health? Maybe it has centerfolds.
Whether gas stoves cause asthma is outside my ken. What I do know is the press immediately denied Trumka was planning to do what he was planning to do.
PolitiFact leaped in and assured the public, “The White House is not banning gas stoves and ovens.” The same lefty fact-checkers who once said you can keep your insurance was absolutely true, just said you can keep your gas stoves.
They think there is a war on gas stoves? Ha ha ha.
Foolish right-wingers.

I am fed up with the leftist government banning things they don’t like. I refuse to comply with their lies. Also, Trumka is a damned liar.
Amen!!!!
Totally ignoring that asthma is a heritable trait

Don Surber is always good.
Personally I like this take on the matter: Noah was a conspiracy theorist — then it rained.
