Trump to Europe "Open the Strait Yourselves"
Timothy Birdnow
Europe is far more reliant on traffic through the Strait of Hormuz than are we, yet they have been refusing to help us there. Trump has taken notice:
RedWave Press
@RedWavePress
NEWS: President Trump on Truth Social: "I wonder what would happen if we "finished off” what’s left of the Iranian Terror State, and let the Countries that use it, we don’t, be responsible for the so called "Strait?” That would get some of our non-responsive ‘Allies’ in gear, and fast!!! President DJT”

Joe Dirt Kent Was Under Investigation for Leaking
Timothy Birdnow
Yep - Joe Kent was in fact under investigation for leaking.
That's why he made the big show of resigning; he's hoping to garner sympathy from Democrats and then claim he's being unjustly attacked by the Administration.
It is a sound enough strategy if you are a lying dirtbag.

Arguing with Idiots; Climate Doomsday Issue
Timothy Birdnow
Been a while since I did an Arguing with Idiots post but I got into it one a climate discussion board on Facebook and thought it worth reproducing here.
Here goes:
Rocky Rex
Total nonsense. In my case, I have a Physics degree (which included some geology as a side requirement), I taught science for years, and I wrote a few Earth Science textbooks for UK schools. I've read a great many climate science papers. So .......
The first scientific paper hinting at what we now call the greenhouse effect was published in 1824. An experiment showing CO2 was a key greenhouse gas was demonstrated at a scientific event by Mrs Eunice Foote in 1856.
Svante Arrhenius published the first calculation of global warming from human emissions of CO2 in 1897. He'd started off investigating how changes in CO2 could be connected to ice ages.
88 years ago an engineer, who had worked on this in his spare time, produced a key paper in climate science:
"The artificial production of carbon dioxide and its influence on temperature" - Callendar, 1938
This was the first confirmation of actual temperature change using a lot of data from a sizable number of recording stations.
Climate research comes from geology, geophysics, geochemistry, palaeontology, oceanography, atmospheric chemistry, atmospheric physics, meteorology, glaciology, etc etc etc.
Hundreds of thousands of scientific papers, over decade after decade, from research in dozens of countries, since the 19th century. It's not some fringe thing from a handful of scientists.
The current scientific understanding of climate change is accepted by every professional association of research scientists on Earth - in every field of science. Over 200 academies.
These associations represent the global scientific community of around 9 million research scientists. For example..... . The Geological Society of London (the UK's expert association of professional geologists since 1807) says:
" ....the current speed of human-induced CO2 change and warming is nearly without precedent in the entire geological record, with the only known exception being the instantaneous, meteorite-induced event that caused the extinction of non-bird-like dinosaurs 66 million years ago"
The quote is from para 1 of this report........ https://www.geolsoc.org.uk/.../Geological%20Society%20of...
I reply:
Rocky Rex and all those orgnizations receive funding from the federal government, or from NGO's and universities all of which have a vested interest in this. Yes, it's a theory that goes back to Arrheneius, but that doesn't mean it's true. Geocentrism went back into the time of the ancient Greeks too and was finally overturned in the Middle Ages. The fact of the matter is there are plenty of papers and alternative explanations for the warming. The drop in planetary albedo, for instance, explains much of the warming. So does land use changes and the urban heat island effect. IF you are an honest researcher and are who you claim to be you know the argument is far more complex than the simplistic case made by the warmists. That you won't admit that suggests you are either a fraud or a partisan unwilling to look at alternative theories.
Some readers didn't like that reply:
Steve Snider
Tim Birdnow Easy to cast shade, but harder to post proof. Got any....proof?
Tim
Read the climategate e-mails if you want some proof. Look up the real genesis of this movement (it began as GLOBAL COOLING and the same people switched gears immediately when it was obvious the Earth was warming and not cooling). Proof is easy to come by if you bother to look.
Steve Snider
Tim Birdnow Not how it works. If you make a claim, it's only rational for you to back it up.
Incidentally, the 'climategate' nonsense was nearly 10 years ago, and yes, I did read it. Long, boring, and context matters.
There was NEVER a consensus on global cooling. I actually read the Time and Newsweek magazines at the time, and:
They were NOT from scientists who studied the environment;
They were NOT published in scientific journals;
They were quickly debunked by actual scientists.
You are correct that evidence is available, but actual science is a continual study.
I reply:
Steve Snider First it is you and yours who are making the extraordinary claims and demanding we change our entire society and way of life so it is up to YOU to prove your claim, not me mine. And I did provide you with the proof; we know that there was and remains a cabal of people in authority in these agencies who are pushing this and they abuse anyone who doesn't conform. Google Joanna Simpson; she was the first female climatologist at NASA. She said after she retired that she feared coming out as a skeptic because she knew she'd lose her job. Look at Judith Curry. For that matter look at what was done to Roy Spencer, a lukewarmer as opposed to a skeptic. They drove him out of NASA. Spencer then published a paper that disagreed with the alarmist view at Remote Sensing and your oh-so-principled champions went after the journal editor, forcing him to spike the paper and quit his job, solely because he published a peer reviewed paper that disagreed with some points of the dominant view.
I don't care if the Climategate e-mails were ten years ago or not; the same people are there, or their hand-picked successors.
And if you read the Climategate e-mails you know you are lying. I've read them and they are not out of context and they are in fact extremely damaging to your cause. In fact what happened to Spencer was something they were strategizing well before it happened.
You guys are tampering with peer review, bullying journal editors, threatening young scientists with dismissal and being blackballed if they don't stand with the dominant theory, abusing anyone who dares challenge your intellectual godhood. But science isn't about consensus but about challenging the orthodoxy, and frankly your theory has more holes in it than swiss cheese. But you never address the actual science of it because it's against you. Where is the tropical tropospheric hot spot? Why hasn't the Earth's albedo increased? Why are islands growing more than they are shrinking? Why did we have not one but TWO pauses in temperature anomalies?
Of course most young scientists now have been raised with this as an article of faith and don't even consider the possibility that it is wrong, and if they do they know they would be destroying their careers if they said anything.
You guys are rather like the Catholic Church resisting Galileo "and yet it still moves".
This has been a generation-long War of the Worlds scare and little more. It could only have happened in our modern era with instant communications and the control of the dissemination of information by people who want to fundamentally transform human civilization. A hundred years ago this theory would have been considered and rejected as nothing but computer models that do not comport with reality.
BTW your claim that Global Cooling only came from a Newsweek article is total bullshit. https://www.researchgate.net/.../347966094_The_1970s...
I was around at that time and it went way beyond just a magazine article. I've seen lists of papers claiming we were entering a cooling phase, although you can't find them online anymore because they are an embarrassment to the authors as well as to you alarmists. A great many of the names who signed on with global warming were stumping for global cooling first. Their argument was that aerosols were leading to an increased planetary albedo and thus were going to trigger an ice age. Perpetual alarmists.
Obama's science adviser John Holdren was one such. https://www.masterresource.org/.../john-holdren-on.../ And we have things like this https://web.archive.org/.../name/CHILLING_POSSIBILITIES where Science News claims there was a consensus over global cooling. NASA endorsed this theory. https://realclimatescience.com/.../screenhunter_127-feb...
You guys lie about this or are simply ignorant, willfully so. The reality is it was a big deal. The only reason they didn't call a consensus was because they didn't have an agency whose purpose was to promote it aka the IPCC. That is why the IPCC was formed in the first place; they didn't want a repeat of the Global Cooling scare.
It was a nice try though.
end
We'll see if this guy comes back but I doubt it; he would have to do actual research and find a solid way to rebut me, which he is going to find hard to do. I've long noticed that the Gang Green changes the subect whenever you nail them, launching a new line of attack - like all liberals. They use sleight-of-hand to distract people from the subject at hand. It works too by and large. But not with me.

Public Support for Iran Conflict
Timothy Birdnow
More people support the attacks on Iran than do not.
Fifty two percent of the public thinks it was the right thing to do.
FTA:
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 52% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of Trump’s decision to attack Iran, including 35% who Strongly Approve. Forty-two percent (42%) disapprove of the attack, including 30% who Strongly Disapprove.
More a plurality than a majority, but when you think about the peril associated with this it's a good sign. This is not Iraq.

Google Tampering with Voter Outreach
Timothy Birdnow
Big tech is at it again, suppressing voter outreach by the GOP.
FTA:
A new report has shown that Google’s email service Gmail has selectively prioritized inboxing campaign communications from Democrats over Republicans, with a significantly greater number of GOP communications being filtered into spam folders. This bias from Big Tech could clearly suppress the ability for Republicans to maintain regular contact with their supporters and give Democrats an obvious leg up on voter engagement.
[...]
The new study from Inbox. The GOP reviewed more than 12,000 emails from both Democratic and Republican political operations and found that more than half of the GOP emails were flagged as spam. The data shows that, over a 90-day period, 64 percent of Democrat communications were sent directly to inboxes while just 46 percent of Republican communications were inbox, a nearly 20 percent difference between the parties.
The last week of the study showed the gap increasing significantly, with almost 60 percent of GOP communications being filtered, while 70 percent of Democrat communications went directly to recipient inboxes.
Google is pure evil and needs to be broken up as a trust. Until our elected representatives grow a pair of danglies we will continue to see the thumb on the scale. It is strange that the Republicans aren't all over this sort of thing but they never are.

How the RINO Wing is Sabotaging the SAVE Act
Timothy Birdnow
How the GOPe plots to block the SAVE America Act.
These dirty tricks by the RINO wing include blocking a talking filibuster, which would only require a simple majority vote after the Democrats run out of steam as opposed to the supermajority that a zombie filibuster requires for cloture now, refusing to make a rule change to allow a talking filibuster (like we always had in America until recently) which is a lie as the current Senate rules still allow for a talker, refusing to whip adequately then saying it failed because of lack of votes, and dismissing Senators so there is no quorum.
Thune is determined to block the SAVE act for some baffling reason. And with that the Senate will remain on a knife edge, as will the House because we will allow illegals to vote and change the course of elections.
I have long argued that the RINO wing and the Democrats WANT these chambers to be neck-and-neck because it empowers incumbents. Nobody dares launch primary challenges because if they fail and lose just one seat it's an apocalypse. So the RINO wing stays in power in the GOP, as does the Tammany Hall types in the Democratic Party (like Chuck Schumer). So they resist changes like this because it will upset this delicate balance that they have to maintain to stay in power.
Well, Trump really screwed up when he backed John Thune and Trump needs to find a way to compel Thune to obey. We can't get rid of that jerk fast enough if you ask me; he's going to wreck the whole train we have going here. And with that America will fall because John Thune wanted to be a big shot.

Joe Kent was a Leaker and Not Trusted
Timothy Birdnow
Turns out Joe Kent was on the outs with the Administration long before he resigned "in protest over Iran".
Kent was a leaker who was cut out of the loop some time ago because he couldn't keep his mouth shut.
Kent was also a strong advocate of attacking Iran in just this way before he was opposed to it.

Definitely. I personally think we should have crushed their ballistic & nuke capes, but Trump has a plan, he has definitely earned the confidence of any clear eyed observer.
11:20 AM · Jan 8, 2020
Strange how his opinion has changed so much in the last six years, even while Iran has become MORE belligerent and has more weaponry and has been crushing it's own citizens.
And he still thought that just last year:
Post
U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell
@SenMcConnell
Joe Kent testified before the Senate one year ago that Iran and its terror proxies threatened U.S. servicemembers in the Middle East. He said it would be an honor to return to the fight against terrorism, and he pledged to lead with integrity and accountability. The virulent anti-Semitism of his resignation letter makes it clear that Mr. Kent is incapable of upholding these pledges, and those who mistake its baseless and incendiary conspiracies for brave truth-telling are only fooling themselves. Isolationists and anti-Semites have no place in either party, and certainly do not deserve places of trust in our government.

Meanwhile Kent's boss, DNI Tulsi Gabbard, rightly threw him under the bus. She said it was Trump who made the decision based on solid intel, not that he was pushed by Israel or took the decision willy-nilly.
It's a very good thing Kent is gone given he was a leaker. They ought to look at prosecuting him.

Dems Recalcitrant as Trump Offers DHS Compromise
Timothy Birdnow
President Trump has offered a serious number of compromises to Democrats to end the funding shutdown for DHS in a time of war and the Democrats are refusing to budge.
Trump has offered body cams, clearly identifiable badges for agents, Congressional access to detention centers, and a guarantee not to detain U.S. citizens unless it is over a criminal matter but Chuck U. Schumer refuses to budge. He wants judicial warrants for the apprehension of felonious illegal aliens and he wants no masking of agents. In other words, he does not want it to be possible to enforce the law.
He is a traitor to kin and nation.
So it looks like the shutdown will continue until there is a major terrorist attack by Iran against us, then the Democrats will try to blame President Trump for it.
The Democratic Party has become nothing but a habitation for demons and every foul and unclean bird.

The Corrupt Papacy
Timothy Birdnow
The late Pope Francis gets spanked by a Vatican court.
Pope Francis had promoted this guy repeatedly then when a scandal broke out with him the Pontiff approved his indictment. As Francis, like all Popes, is an autocrat and not an elected President his word usually goes. But the court ruled the Vatican prosecution withheld evidence and basically cheated in the trial.
Why? Despite being one of Frankies cronies Cardinal Angelo Becciu knew a lot of damaging stuff, and he clearly knew about child abuse in the Vatican. So the prudent thing was to destroy the man.
Well, Pope Francis lost this one despite his people trying to cheat.
Pope Francis was a bully and a radical despite his fake demeanor. More and more bad stuff is coming out about him and hopefully his legacy will be as a corrupt and spiteful Pope, which is exactly what he was.

The Civilizational Divide
Timothy Birdnow
This from Michael W. Smith:
Christianity’s inside-out moral order produced the American system of liberty. Islam’s outside-in structure of social enforcement points in the opposite direction—conflict is increasingly unavoidable.
MICHAEL SMITH
MAR 13
Over the past couple of decades, I have written several essays about the incompatibility of Islam—both as a religion and as a culture—to the US Constitution and to the predominant culture of America. Stimulated by the recent spate of attacks by Islamist terrorists, what follows is a revisiting of those topics.
For many years I have argued that Christianity—more than any other religion—is uniquely compatible with individual liberty. That compatibility is not accidental. It arises from Christianity’s fundamental structure: it is a religion primarily concerned with the transformation of the individual heart.
Christianity begins with the individual. It calls upon men and women to govern themselves morally before attempting to govern others. Christ’s words in Matthew 18:20—"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them”—capture the voluntary nature of the Christian community. Believers gather by choice. Faith is accepted voluntarily, and it may be rejected voluntarily. Christianity assumes that human beings possess free will and that God expects them to exercise it.
This inside-out moral structure aligns naturally with the American political tradition. The Founders built a system of self-government on the assumption that citizens possess the capacity for moral self-restraint. They handed the people the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution and essentially said: these are the principles; now govern yourselves accordingly.
American liberty presumes that individuals can regulate their own conduct without constant external force.
This is precisely where the divide between Christianity and Islam becomes stark.
Islam, historically and doctrinally, operates on the opposite model. Where Christianity seeks transformation through voluntary belief, Islam seeks conformity through legal and social enforcement. The concept of sharia is not simply a spiritual code but a comprehensive legal framework intended to govern personal conduct, family life, commerce, and political authority.
In societies where Islam dominates politically, religious authorities enforce compliance through legal penalties, social pressure, and in many cases outright coercion. The individual is not primarily responsible for governing his own conscience; the surrounding system governs him.
Christianity governs from the inside out. Islam governs from the outside in.
A similar outside-in impulse can be seen in modern political ideologies that distrust individual autonomy. Progressive statism and twentieth-century communism both rely heavily on centralized authority to impose social conformity. While progressivism and Islam differ dramatically on many social questions, they share a common assumption: that individuals cannot be trusted to organize their own moral lives and must instead be shaped through external systems of enforcement.
This shared impulse helps explain an otherwise strange political alliance. Progressive movements often display hostility toward traditional Christianity while showing remarkable tolerance—even sympathy—for Islamist political movements. Christianity places limits on power by emphasizing individual conscience; both Islam and progressive statism are far more comfortable with using political authority to reshape society.
But the deeper issue is civilizational rather than theological.
The endless argument over whether Islam is good, bad, or misunderstood misses the central question. Debating the relative virtues of religions without a standard of judgment is like arguing about whether Ford, General Motors, or Dodge makes the best pickup truck: everyone has opinions, but no one agrees on the criteria.
The real question is this: Is a given religion or culture compatible with the American constitutional order?
America is not an undefined abstraction. Its character is clearly articulated in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Federalist Papers. These documents establish a political system grounded in natural rights, limited government, and the sovereignty of the individual citizen.
Everything else in American public life flows from those foundations.
Historically, the United States welcomed immigrants not so they could recreate the societies they left behind but so they could participate in something new. The promise of America was that individuals could escape the constraints of their old political systems and join a society organized around liberty.
That promise always carried an expectation: assimilation.
For most of American history, immigrants understood that expectation clearly. They might preserve aspects of language, food, or family tradition, but their political loyalty and cultural orientation shifted toward the American constitutional order. They did not arrive intending to recreate the institutions they had fled.
In the past half-century that expectation has weakened dramatically. The rise of the "hyphenated American” has produced communities that attempt to maintain parallel cultural systems inside the United States, sometimes including legal and religious practices that conflict directly with the principles of the Constitution.
Islam presents a particularly serious challenge in this regard.
The American political order grew out of a Judeo-Christian moral framework that emphasizes the dignity of the individual and limits on state authority. While the Constitution establishes no official religion, the philosophical assumptions underlying the American founding were unmistakably shaped by that tradition.
Islam contributed nothing unique to those foundations. At the time of America’s founding, Islamic societies were generally understood in the West as hierarchical political systems shaped by tribal conflict and dynastic rule rather than constitutional liberty. The religious framework of Islam addressed the needs of those societies, not the requirements of a republic grounded in individual rights.
This difference matters.
A nation can absorb many cultural influences, but it cannot survive the introduction of ideologies that reject its core principles. Diversity of experience can strengthen a society when those experiences contribute to a shared national purpose. But diversity of incompatible purposes produces fragmentation and conflict.
Assimilation therefore remains essential.
Immigrants who come to the United States must ultimately accept the supremacy of the American constitutional order over any competing political or religious system. That principle does not forbid Muslims from becoming Americans. It simply means that when conflicts arise between Islamic doctrine and American law, American law prevails.
Those who come to the United States seeking freedom and opportunity are welcome. But those who arrive determined to recreate the political and cultural systems they left behind misunderstand the country they have entered.
America is not merely a place. It is a civilization built upon specific ideas about liberty, rights, and self-government.
If newcomers wish to share in that inheritance, they must accept those ideas.
If they wish to replace them, they should look elsewhere.

Happy St. Patrick's Day
Timothy Birdnow
Top 'O the morning to yah!
As today is St. Patrick's day I thought I'd post this article explaining how the "wearin O the Green" got started.
Turns out St. Patrick's color was blue and so was Ireland's until the Irish rebellion against the British in 1798 led to the adopting of green as the official color of free Ireland. The Ulstermen - Irish who were descended from Scotsmen that the English settled in Northern Ireland - had orange as their color. Ultermen are also known sometimes as Scots-Irish and they were the first Irish to settle in the New World. Ulstermen hated the Catholics who came after the potato famine, btw, and were no small part of the lampooning and abuse of Irish settlers who were to come later.
At any rate the wearin' O the Green was more a political and religious statement than anything else.
And as for drinking large quantities of ale or whiskey? That was pretty much an American thing; the Irish do not celebrate St. Patrick's Day in that fashion by and large. It's more a feast day for a saint.
But why not? The Church doesn't even have St. Patrick's Day as an official feast anymore.
BTW corned beef and cabbage are not an Irish repast at all. The Irish eat a lot of fish and mutton. Germans ate corned beef and cabbage and when the Irish immigrated to the U.S. they were poor and it was cheap and they learned it from their German neighbors. There is an interesting scene in the movie The Devil's Own where Harrison Ford's family is eating corned beef and cabbage in honor of Brad Pitt, who is an (unbeknownst to them) Irish terrorist who will be staying with them. He asks what it is and they are dumbfounded; they thought that was what Irish people ate. It's what THEY ate and they were Irish Americans.
At any rate Green as the color of Ireland is not an ancient and venerable tradition.
One more thing; St. Patrick was himself Welch and not Irish. He was kidnapped as a boy and enslaved to an Irish warlord. Eventually he was able to leave and went home but he felt the finger of God on his heart and returned to Ireland to preach the Gospel to them. He pretty much single-handedly converted the Irish to Christianity. There is no evidence he liked ale any more than the next man (everyone drank it though since water was usually bad) and they didn't even HAVE whiskey back then. It was either imported wine or ale or mead from honey. So a celebration in Ireland would feature those things.
St. Patrick first arrived in Ireland in 432 a.d., by the way. Ireland's society completely collapsed as Ireland was plunged into total darkness in 536 thanks to a volcanic eruption in Iceland and it remained so for three years, destroying the society that had been there. This was followed the next century by the plague of 664 which began with a total solar eclipse and decimated the country.
Ireland was always a very unlucky place which is what "the luck of the Irish" means; they were forever beset by disasters, especially at critical times in their history. The Black Death in the 14th century was particularly terrible in Ireland. And we all remember the potato crop failure of the nineteenth century which led to the great diaspora of Irish who had to flee or die.
So Ireland has had a rough, bitter history since St. Patrick appeared, yet she has always remained faithful to the teaching of their patron. Or had until recently anyway.
So enjoy the day; eat, drink, be merry, dance a jig, pinch a drunk who isn't wearing green, and otherwise make a spectacle of yourself. But remember why you are doing so.

Paul Ehrich Reduces His Carbon Footprint
Timothy Birdnow
Paul Ehrlich, the goofball academic who wrote The Population Bomb and The Population Explosion has put his money where his mouth was, kindly removing himself from the horrible impact of overpopulation.
Ehrlich was one of the most dangerous and destructive intellectuals of his age. Sadly his legacy continues to reverberate down the corridores of post-modern thought. Most on the Left ultimately still buy into his view that overpopulation will destroy all life on Earth. Global warming is an issue primarily because of Ehrlich; it emphasized climate damage from industrial activity but in the end the presupposition is there are too many people who NEED stuff and who move about making this "carbon pollution". Without Ehrlich we would never have had the whole climate War of the Worlds scare in the first place. And abortion would have been much harder to implement without the specter of overpopulation. In fact most of the neo-fascist agenda of the modern Left is predicated on the fear of overpopulation.
Ehrlich was a sloppy researcher, a vain and shallow fellow who bought himself the spotlight at terrible cost to others.
China's one child policy is easily traced back to Ehrlich's Malthusian theory, for instance.
Ehrlich caught on during the seventies when there was an apocalyptic mood in the Western world and he offered a doomsday vision that essentially said more children mean our extinction. This led to determined efforts to reduce our population growth, which in turn led to a deficit of people to pay taxes and do the work that previous generations had. This in turn led to the idea of using mass migration from the Third World to "do the work Americans (or Europeans or Aussies) Just Won't Do" and it is why the Western world is now being overrun by barbarians from shithole countries, and many of these immigrants hate us and plot our overthrow. This was the fruit of Ehrlich.
So I won't be shedding too many tears for this man. His life's labor bore horribly rotten fruit.

Europeans Won't Help in Hormuz
Timothy Birdnow
Germany was eager for our help when the Soviets threatened their security. Now they want to flip us the bird and expect us to not punish them.
And we rescued the rest of the Euroweenies during WWII yet they can't return the favor.
We need to start pulling our military bases out of these countries. And maybe impose some high tariffs on them for it. And maybe limit the oil we send them.
