AMERICAN JOURNALISTS M.I.A. ON GLOBAL WARMING, BY: DENNIS T. AVERY

Where are the American journalists who should be covering the collapse of the man-made warming scare — the biggest hoax in human history?

ANOTHER FAILING BIOFUEL “MIRACLE”, BY: DENNIS T. AVERY

CHURCHVILLE, VA—My wife is complaining about our increased costs at the supermarket.
