Crazy Polling and Paxton
Timothy Birdnow
You have GOT to be kidding me!
This comes from Rasmussen, who is the best in a very shady business, granted, but still the best.
Crime has dropped WAY down under Donald Trump; all the statistics prove that. So how can the public possibly think the Democrats, whose solutions in their own states led to spikes in crime, possibly believe that?
People are insane.
I couldn't get into the actual article for numbers (it is behind a subscription wall) but they did have this.
Looks like Talirico and Paxton are tied right now - just as that always happens before elections.
Add five points to Paxton and he's going to win handily. Polls usually underestimate the Republicans by 3 to 5%.
According to this particular poll 'Rico and Paxton are tied ay 45% with 5% going for Libertarian candidate Ted Brown, leaving an undecided 5% (how can anyone be undecided at this point?) I think the undecided numbers are good for Paxton; they probably don't want to admit to a pollster they are voting for Paxton, who has been horribly maligned by the media.
I have a suspicion this isn't even going to be close. I pray I am correct.
Anyway, polls have increasingly shown they aren't worth the computer screen they are printed on and we need to ignore them. In the case of this election we should just assume we are behind BUT not panic or despair. That's just what they want now.
BTW Scott Rasmussen quit his own polling company years ago and who knows who is running it now? It is probably moving slowly leftward, just like Fox News.
Rasmussen quit in 2013 over "disagreements over company business strategy" which probably means over how they do their polling, and no doubt the board of directors wanted it to be more in line with the other polling firms, use the same models as they others. The march lockstep into the Brave New World together.

Yougov Poll: Democrats Love Hitler and are Fascists
Timothy Birdnow
And they call US Fascists/Nazis!
Fully ten percent of Democrats say they admire Der Fuehrer.
No doubt that is a coefficient of the rising anti-semitism around the world, and the rising number of Muslims and DSA nutjobs.
But even when they don't admit to liking Hitler they still operate under the same rules as the Brownshirts and support the same policies as did the Nazis. Antifa is nothing but a Nazi operation even while being named "anti-fascist". To them and to most of the Demo-left it's a word that means whatever they choose, and they choose it to mean Conservatives, Constitutionalists, Christians and Jews, etc.
Right now the Democratic Party is a fascist party without question. The respondents to this Yougove survey were just the honest ones, or the less ignorant of what they believe.
Anyway just 1% of Republicans and Independents had a "very favorable" view of Hitler, and 4% had a "somewhat unfavorable” opinion, 6% had a "somewhat unfavorable opinion,” 79% had a "very unfavorable opinion,” and 10% "don’t know.” This was true of both Republicans AND independents.
But the Democrats?
Interestingly enough, the Democrats have a 55% very favorable for Abraham Lincoln, and the GOP is 73%. But the Dems have a mere 30% somewhat favorable while the GOP sits at 16% due to the high very favorable rating. Very unfavorable or don't know are pretty even in single digits, which itself is telling; the Democrats are not angry about the Civil War still so much as the fact Lincoln was the first Republican President. Otherwise he would be heavier in the "very unfavorable" category.
So the man who freed the slaves, the base of the Democratic Party, doesn't even like the great liberator. Sad.
Also, this survey had Augusto Pinochet as the most hated world leader, well above Hitler and above others such as Pol Pot or Stalin or Lenin or any other communist, which shows the people who participated in this survey are probably mostly leftists.
I think their inner Fascist is showing; Hitler was ranked tenth in the survey of most terrible.
At any rate there is a lot of sympathy for Hitler it seems in the Democrat Party and a lot of dislike of Abraham Lincoln. And yet it is WE who are the Fascists.
Only half of the public had a favorable opinion of George Washington too, and that was 43% for Democrats, 43% for independents, and 66% Republican (which is shameful; he was our best President, or near enough).
Also interesting in this poll is that 47% of Democrats love them some Zelensky while just 7% of Republicans saw him as very favorable. 13% of Republicans see him as somewhat favorable compared to 21% for donkeys. So who is it that wants the war in Ukraine, a place where we have no vital American interests?
Also, this poll shows a 14% approval of Karl Marx by Republicans, which is complete nonsense, so I wouldn't take this survey too seriously. 19% of Dems had a somewhat favorable opinion of the old creep, so only five points more than the GOP (Marx was in single digits in extremely favorable.)
Anyway that suggests they are the Fascists, since they eschew Marx but at the same time are Leftists. That means they are fascist.
The Dems hold a 22% unfavorable rating and very unfavorable while the GOP has 50% somewhat and 20% very, which is way off for any Republican.
If this study is even remotely true we know who the fascists are and it isn't Donald J. Trump or any of the MAGA people.

The Propaganda Machine
more...
Timothy Birdnow
On my post about a Media Research Center Study in a post by John Solomon at Just the News a reader asked about their methodology and asked for a direct link to it. Solomon didn't provide it and naturally it would not come up with a web search so I dug and dug and eventually came up with a few things, and included a link to MRC's own report which John Solomon used for his piece. I also found a PEW report which said something similar. Anyway here is my reply to GTA 6 Map:
I was looking for the study and came across this one from PEW which essentially says the same thing.
From the PEW article:
"A large majority of U.S. adults (86%) say they at least sometimes get news from asmartphone, computer or tablet, including 57% who say they do so often. These figures arealmost identical to the share who got news from digital devices in 2023.Digital devices are by far the most common way Americans get news, although a majority(63%) get news from television at least sometimes. The portion of Americans who oftenget news from TV has stayed fairly steady over the last few years, now standing at 33%."
Americans turn to radio and print publications for news far less frequently. In 2024, just26% of U.S. adults say they often or sometimes get news in print, the lowest number oursurveys have recorded.
News websites or apps are also the most preferred source for news. About a quarter of U.S.adults (23%) say they prefer to get their news this way, compared with 18% who prefersocial media, 12% who prefer search and 5% who prefer podcasts. The share of Americanswho prefer social media has increased by 6 percentage points since 2023.
It's interesting to note that PEW does not look at the specifics of WHO these Americans are getting their news from; just the fact that they are.
Young people are overwehlemingly using social media, the absolute worst way to get your news but there it is. Most social media uses stories from the big aggregate sites after all.
Here is the article on the study from the MRC website. John Solomon at Just the News took this tory from there.
Sorry they don't have anything about their methodology posted. I assume you could contact the MRC and they would give you the details.
Anyway thanks for visiting and leaving a good comment. It is a point well-taken and I should have been more on top of this, I will admit. (I wrote this with a hangover and my back was killing me, plus I had errands to run, so perhaps you will forgive me?)
Cheers,
Tim

Writing by Hand Increases Neural Activity
Timothy Birdnow
Interesting; hand writing leads to greater creativity.
From Facebook:
Evolved Chimp
O͏c͏t͏o͏b͏e͏r͏ ͏1͏9͏ ͏a͏t͏ ͏9͏:͏0͏1͏ ͏P͏M͏
·
Norwegian neuroscientist Audrey van der Meer hooked students up to high-density EEG caps. Then she asked them to do two things. Write with a pen. Type on a keyboard. The results were immediate and severe. Writing by hand caused a synchronized burst of neural activity across the entire brain. Memory, sensory integration, and learning centers all fired at once. The brain was lit up and engaged. Typing did practically nothing. Because typing is just hitting identical keys over and over, it requires zero spatial problem-solving. When students typed the exact same words, the sophisticated cognitive network collapsed. Typing effectively allows the brain to coast on a low-energy autopilot. This explains why we remember things we write down and forget things we type. Taking notes on a laptop turns you into a human transcription machine. Using a pen forces you to listen, synthesize, and summarize in real time. Digital keystrokes offer frictionless efficiency. But the fastest way to record information is actually the worst way to retain it.

How the Left Gaslights America
Timothy Birdnow
Ever wonder why we seem to be struggling so hard getting traction in America?
Here's the answer:
These four sources are Apple News, Google News, Yahoo News and Microsoft’s MSN. Couple that with the control of television news by the big networks (NBC, CBS, ABC, PBS) and you STILL have a leftist stranglehold on the dissemination of information in America.
From the article:
David Bozell, who leads the Media Research Center, says his group in analyzing one month of stories on Apple News found that of 620 stories that Apple had promoted on its top feeds, "not a single one of those stories was from a right-wing news source. Not one. Zero.”
According to research by the MRC, out of 487 top stories last February on Google News, only 11, or 2.2%, were right-leaning; 314, or 64.5%, were left-leaning and 162, or 33.3%, were in the center.
As for Apple News, last January, out of the 620 top stories, there were zero right-leaning ones and 440 left-leaning. Articles on popular websites such as Fox News and the New York Post were never promoted.
A broader "Big Four” analysis in April showed the apps promoted 92% left-leaning outlets and only 17% of right-leaning ones. And when "right-leaning” outlets were promoted, Bozell says, they were typically non-political features that don’t really lean left or right.
Bozell says some of the patterns regarding what news is promoted among the news apps make no sense – unless there’s a paid arrangement that’s not being offered to right-wing news outlets. He points to stories by left-leaning NPR being promoted dozens of times on Apple News while more popular conservative news sites get zero visibility.
It's all incestuous and it's all rotten. Look at how Google promotes Wikipedia even though nobody bothers with it anymore and it is always inaccurate. But there it is, at the very top of every Google search. Somebody is paying for that to happen, and I suspect ultimately it is the United States government (Google was started as a way to collect data for the CIA).
That's why it is so hard to break the leftist stranglehold on the American mind; the public, lazy bones that they are, just look at these "reliable" sites and think themselves educated.
We need to find a way to truly get around this.

Prancing Queens in the Navy and Marines
Timothy Birdnow
This is mutiny.
This is primarily happening in the Navy and Marines.
The President is Commander in Chief and his subordinate, the Secretary of War, are the commanders of these boards and their refusal to obey orders here should get them thrown in the brig.
That's how the Left operates; just ignore anything they don't like and disobey orders, and try to wait it out.
This article quotes the New York Times, who is no doubt delighted at this development:
But just steps from the auditorium where Mr. Hegseth spoke, at Marine Corps Base Quantico, boards assigned to carry out those orders were doing the opposite. Instead of firing trans Marines, the boards were voting to keep them.
The same was happening in the Navy: Boards given strict rules instructing them to force out sailors were rebelling and voting to let them stay.
It is not just a few outlying individuals. Navy and Marine Corps boards have voted to retain trans members in nine of 12 cases.
end
We need a Saturday Night Massacre now; Hegseth should fire all off the top commanders in the Navy and Marine Core (they don't deserve to be called corps - they are more like the remains after someone gobbled down the apple now). Heads must roll over this.
This is the same sort of thing the Deep State was doing in the first Trump Administration and now they are at it again. They were afraid for a while but apparently they are getting cocky because of the bogus poll numbers showing the Democrats will wind Congress and figuring this will then tie up the Administration so they can do whatever they want.
In point of fact there is no need for trannies in fatigues; the military is overstaffed now as it is. Part of the reason recruitment exploded is the Trump Administration got rid of the trannies, something the average fighting man found abhorrent; nobody wants to shower with a dude who wears women's clothes, no real man anyway. And the women don't either.
But these boards seem determined to keep them in the military and that is for purely political reasons. Every last board member needs to be busted down to swab.
Sorry, but just because one of the Village People was a sailor doesn't mean it's a good idea to put trans people in uniform. Let them play at being sailors if they want to wear a sailor's uniform

Run for the Border

DHS is going to deploy a non-lethal "heat ray" at tehe southern border. It causes a sense of intense heat on the skin and leads to panic for those so treated.

From Paris to Temple
Timothy Birdnow
Echoes from Paris.
This was no riot, just a protest by some of the eternally aggrieved. But I wonder; did the people who promoted this HOPE it would turn into a riot like the ones sweeping Europe right now?
Look for a riot or two to happen after the election; I think now the Left is a bit sheepish because they are already running so many crazy commie candidates and they don't want to attract attention to that fact. They are now pretending to be normal, American as apple pie.
Just wait a couple more weeks...

Omarapus Rex
Timothy Birdnow
Ilhan Omar, when asked if she was ever married to her brother, said "not to my knowledge”.
Gee; I guess everyone forgets getting married, especially to their brother.
I know Muslims are often inbred, with marriage to first cousins common (they do that because they actually get to see their first cousins while any other woman is hidden to one degree or another and they don't want a bad surprise on their wedding night). But even Islam is against brother sister hanky panky.
What Said Elmi (her real name) was trying todo was avoid actually lying while pretending to be speaking ironically. Cute trick but it makes her look like an idiot.
And to me it makes her look guilty.

Mexican Judge Issues Nine State Ruling Against DHS over Illegal Voting
Timothy Birdnow
In another "what else is new" story a District Judge in California issued an order stopping DHS from stopping illegals from voting in nine states - way out of his jurisdiction - and the kicker is the judge is a Mexican.
Araceli Martínez-Olguin issued the order (is this a man or woman?) which covers California, Connecticut, Georgia, Missouri, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania, Washington, and Wisconsin, clearly out of his/her/xi's jurisdiction in violation of orders that came down from the U.S. Supreme Court that District judges could not issue rulings that apply outside of their districts.
DHS should tell this judge to go happy end itself outside of California, that it's ruling does not apply. We have GOT to stop letting these judges run roughshod over America like this.
Oh, the article says it's a she. Hard to tell.
The plaintiffs were The California Nurses Association, National Nurses United, the City and County of San Francisco, Santa Clara County, and Voto Latino Foundation. How, pray tell, does a nursing association have standing in this matter? How does a Voto Latino Foundation have standing? Neither can show they are directly injured by the actions of Homeland Security to stop illegal voting. By it's very definition it is ILLEGAL voting and therefore only illegals could bring suit.
This is a disgraceful abuse of power by this judge and she needs to be thrown off the bench - and probably deported, while we're at it.
The judge was appointed by, who else, Jeffe Jose Biden.
Born in Mexico City she went to Princeton and got her J.D. from Berkeley. Her bio was scarce, leading me to wonder if she was here legally at all. I wonder if she wasn't an illegal alien.
She was held up in committee, and then renominated and eventually went to the Senate floor where she was confirmed by one vote - Kamala Harris. Otherwise she never would have been on the bench.
Now she is repaying the favor.
The Democrats have packed the courts and the "judges" are first and foremost Democrats. It's a filthy, corrupt branch of government and it will remain so until these judges retire - provided we can control Congress enough to hold onto power and stop the confirmation of radicals. We need the Presidency too. Meanwhile the Dems are talking about pacing SCOTUS to make the Conservative majority impotent. They'll do it too if they get power again.
Anyway DHS should refuse to obey her outside of her jurisdiction and of course they should appeal. It will have to go to SCOTUS, but this is pretty clearly a violation of law and SCOTUS will probably agree.
But you never know with those flip-floppers. Conehead Parrot and John Roberts are never sure things and of course Kavanaugh and Gorsuch flop around like flags in the wind.

Fake Polling from a Fake Firm
Timothy Birdnow
And yet the predictions are always big Democrat wins, not Republican wins.
Fake polling firm that publicized bogus polls favoring Dems, claims it was an 'experimental project'
Wedgewood polling claimed they were just conducting an experiment to see if they could fool the media. But, as I say, they never tried with a Republican, which would have elicited guffaws from the media and no reporting, of course. So in that regard I suspect the point is valid. But it seems to me they just wanted to get this out there to fire up the Donks and dispirit the Republicans. Research had nothing to do with it.

Iran Strikes Seven Tankers to Ramp Up War to Influence American Elections
Timothy Birdnow
We knew this was coming; Iran needs to restart the war to influence the upcoming elections. Their only hope is to get a Democrat Congress to defund Trump's military operations.
They are going to get nastier as the election nears.
Once the elections are over the Trump Administration will undoubtedly ramp up the war and Iran knows it.

Somebody Call a Plumber!
Timothy Birdnow
They're BAAACCCKKK...
Actually they never went away.
We saw a lot of this during Trump's first term, leaks and leakers and liars. They have been fairly quiet since Trump''s second election but now they appear to be back and doing their worst. Time for Trump and his posse to bring the hammer down.
FTA:
Anonymous sources have exposed sensitive details of the Trump administration’s reported plans to establish a clandestine espionage program targeting China to legacy media, potentially revealing American intelligence strategies to foreign adversaries.
The Pentagon is reportedly developing a deep-cover intelligence operation that would embed American operatives within private-sector businesses to gather intelligence on China and other foreign adversaries, according to The Washington Post. Six individuals familiar with the initiative disclosed details about its leadership, capabilities and internal planning despite the program’s sensitive nature and the Pentagon’s denial of its existence.
What does this tell us class? The Chicoms had themselves embedded agents in our government, agents feeding them information. And it also says that, even if not recruited and formally used as active agents we have a lot of RINO or Democrats in our government working as unwitting agents of the Chinese.
The Deep State - the pro-China Deep State - is alive and well and actively trying to thwart the President.
Not only is this a felony but it is an act of High Treason and it should be punished with the death penalty, as the Constitution says it should.
I hope Trump is on top of this. In fact I hope Trump had his people leak it and he didn't plan to implement this at all; I hope this catches the leaker and allows that traitor to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
We've got to ferret out these scoundrels and break their power over America for once and for all.
The article continues:
The alleged new "non-official cover officer” program is being headed by Tom Rakusan. Rakusan’s background includes a 39-year career in the CIA in which he held a leadership position during the first Trump administration. Following his 2021 retirement, he worked at a private equity firm co-founded by now Deputy Defense Secretary Steve Feinberg, the Washington Post alleges. He has now returned to the Pentagon as Senior Adviser to Feinberg, according to his LinkedIn page.
Several of the leakers appear to be former colleagues with personal grudges against Rakusan. One, a White House official during Trump’s first term, referred to him as a "pipe swinger.”
"Rakusan just wants to build his own CIA down in the Pentagon,” an anonymous former CIA official told The Washington Post.
Really? Just disgruntled scumbags who don't like this guy going to WaPo and leaking top secret information that would put them in jail for many years out of personal pique? How thick do they think we are?
One possibility is this Racoon guy, er, Rakusan wanted to leak this stuff to WaPo himself. He IS career CIA and the CIA has absolutely no love for Trump. What better way to hide your own involvement than to blame it on people who hate you?
Or not. We don't know. One thing I do know is the wrath of the Lord needs to drop upon the arrogant head of the Washington Post over the identity of the leaker or leakers. This has just put lives at risk.
In my humble opinion this stinks of a CIA black op against the President. The article actually alludes to that, saying the CIA doesn't like it when other agencies engage in these types of covert operations. Mayhaps. But the CIA is run by a Trump appointee, John Ratcliff, and it has no business sticking it's nose into this. That would mean an underling gave the order to leak, and that underling needs to be found, prosecuted, and executed.
If this WAS a CIA dirty trick Mr. Ratcliff should be fired. I know; he's been a good friend to Trump and largely a positive force. But this cannot be tolerated.
Unless...
Trump has stated that there is plenty of documentation showing the Chinese had tampered with the election of 2020 and this may be a way of smoking them out. We don't know what is happening inside the government, after all.
One wawy or another heads need to roll - literally.

Entusiasm Gap and other Gaps (such as cranial)
Timothy Birdnow
The recent "No Kings" rallies have been busts, with tens of people at most attending.
This article in American Thinker illustrates how there just isn't any gas left in the tank of the protesters.
What this means is there is no enthusiasm among Democrats, which in turn means that we are probably not going to see a major turnout by the Democrat voters.
It's good to see; they are dispirited and the dispirited often don't bother to vote.
But, of course, nail-in voting requires a lot less spirit, so they will still have a good turnout. It's entirely too easy to vote when all you have to do is drop a card in a mailbox or in a voting box of some sort.
That was why they pushed so hard on Covid; this is the gift that keeps on giving for them.
Still, it may well be that the lukewarmers in the Democrat Party may not bother at all. We must hope.
But we are in pretty good shape by and large, even if the Dems are STILL going to steal some Congressional seats. What we need now is to avoid overconfidence. And we need to get our pick for the Presidency now, not in two years; we will need the time to campaign. J.D. Vance, the logical pick, has been saying some really stupid things lately, and has angered the Jewish community as he has been listening to Tucker Carlson too much of late. Oh, and he even admitted he may not run. So it will come down to Runio or Cruz as our best bets. I hate to support either for some of the things they've said or done in the past (I used to be a staunch Cruz supporter but he's been doing some bad things of late) but they will be better than some RINO career politician, which we could get. I don't know if DeSantis is going to run or not; he'd be my pick.
But we need a pick soon so we can start the hard work of informing the American People without any help from the media. That takes time.
Still, we are in decent shape and hopefully the MAGA revolution won't bogg down as the Reagan Revolution did. No more RINO's!
BTW watch for Vivek Ramaswami to run if he wins the Ughhio Governor's race.

Harbinger
Timothy Birdnow
This is not just a little ominous.
It is known that the Yellowstone supervolcano was responsible for at least one mass extinction, and another was caused by a supervolcano in Siberia. And it is now even believed that the extinction of the dinosaurs was caused by one too. The theory that it was caused by a big asteroid has faded a bit. (In fact the volcano is now thought to be the prime cause but the asteroid strike was the cherry on top of the sundae, finishing Dino off where they may have survived, at least some of them, the volcanic eruptions.)
The article summary states:
Deep beneath Japan’s Kikai caldera, a massive magma reservoir is refilling 7,300 years after one of the most powerful volcanic eruptions in Earth's recent geological history. Scientists used underwater seismic surveys to reveal a vast store of magma that appears to have accumulated since the ancient catastrophe. The discovery could help explain how supervolcanoes like Yellowstone and Toba rebuild their magma supplies.
While this may sound like a purely academic matter - supervolcanoes fill back up with magma - it also may be, rather, a harbinger; if these volcanoes are refilling maybe one of 'em will blow again.
Interesting little tidbit the last time this particular volcano blew was 7300 years ago. Know what else happened then? There was a major drop in genetic diversity among our little ole ancestors. Coincidence? I think not.
More likely our ancestor's food supply dropped way off from this event.
In fact most MEN died off, leaving a world chock full of chicks. There were 17 women for every man. Why would that be? In a world bereft of food the men would risk their lives more as the situation grew desperate, and they would also fight more wars to take what little food there was. It would be natural, in a world governed by force and where there was no women's lib, the men would do the dying. (BTW this may well have been the genesis of feminism in the first place as women, with no men around, would have to "wear the pants" or in their case the loincloths.) Probably the men who survived were lame and couldn't go out in a desperate search for food, or were powerful enough not to have to.
This is conjecture, of course, but I strongly suspect these two situations are causally linked.
The theory being offered in the article suggests that powerful warlords were able to eliminate most of their competitors and so a few families were the primary ones to procreate. But this STILL does not explain WHY these few warlords survived while everyone else perished. I think the volcano eruption may well have tied in with it.
This article also suggests war killed off most of the men.
There are other tantalizing tidbits; in Saharan Africa, which then was a lush, green paradise, the natives were genetically unrelated to any other peoples who now inhabit the region or anyone else we know today. They practiced animal husbandry but don't appear to have interbred with other ethnic groups. They are completely gone now as the Sahara desertified, and probably the disappearance of both (the people and the Sahara) are tied to this supervolcano.
There had been a sharp decrease in planetary temperatures in the 8.2 kiloyear event, a little ice age that lasted four centuries and marked the beginning of the Northgrippian, an epoch of cooler temps globally. (Also, this caused a drop in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels by 25 ppm, illustrating that atmospheric carbon dioxide naturally dissipates and this over three hundred years not the ten thousand years the climate alarmists always tell us.)
At any rate something happened during this millennium and it may well have tied to this supervolcano in some way. Obviously other things were happening too - the climate was changing WITHOUT any major human impact.
I noticed in researching some of this that there are some of the Gang Geen blaming the climate change on...drumroll please...human activity, particularly burning wood and clearing forest land! They just cannot believe that human beings are NOT the center of the universe, are not godlike in their power to create and destroy. Yet the climate had changed many times without human intervention; the Younger Dryas, which kicked off the Holocene, saw a much bigger drop in planetary temperatures and there were far fewer people twelve thousand years ago, the end of the paleolithic. (No doubt the colder temperatures forced humans to find new sources of food and thus new tools and a more sedentary way of life hence the ending of living in caves and wandering around scrounging for chow.) Human activity could not impact this cooling period but we are told it did in the Northgrippian.
At any rate the 7000nds was a very bad time, especially to be a man since you would probably die. But if you lived, momma mia!
The Beach Boys couldn't possible have dreamed of conditions like THAT: they would have had to sing "17 girls for every boy!"
Nice work when you can get it.
Anyway, to get back on topic, the supervolcano in Japan is filling up and that may be a bad sign. A supervolcanic eruption could do what this thing did last time. And it's just one supervolcano we need to worry about; Yellowstone is way bigger and more dangerous and is showing signs of life.
The more we learn the more we should realize we are living here by the grace of God and there are so very many things that could kill us. We are the biggest, meanest germs on a petri dish and think ourselves lords of creation when the lab researcher can sterilize our dish any time he pleases and start over. It's time we learned some humility.

West Bank Lockdown
Timothy Birdnow
If at first you don't succeed...
Israel needs to annex all of Palestine and remove the so-called Palestinians. Maybe send them to the Kerguelen Islands in the south Indian Ocean or something. Kerguelen is owned by France but I suspect right now the French wouldn't stop Israel from doing that.
The so-called Palestinians will never stop trying to kill Jews; it is the only purpose they have in life.

In honor of the St. Louis Blues and Laura Branigan, ahem, "Omar, I think they got your number, I think they got your alias, that you've been living under".
Ilhan Omar's real name is Ilhan Nur Said Elmi and here father was a brutal Somali military thug working for a warlord. She was not a refugee.
This is evidence America needs a background check done on people elected to Congress. This woman should never have made it this far (shame on the Republicans for not finding this out when she ran and s hame on the Democrats for ignoring it) but once elected to Congress, which presupposes a national security clearance, why did nobody catch it? Because the assumption is Congress does not require a clearance as they are elected officials and that the political process would weed such people out. But obviously it didn't and the media was completely incurious.
I just can't fathom how she and her family immigrated here and she ran for Congress, was elected, then made herself a huge hemorrhoid to the body politic, being in the spotlight for years, when she had this secret and nobody, NOBODY bothered to look into it. But that is the state of journalism and politics these days.
There is no "controlling legal authority" as Al Gore used to say, over who can serve in Congress. And while Congress can kick people out they rarely do and almost always accept anyone elected, no matter how corrupt or crazy. Take Alcee Hastings of Florida.
Hastings was appointed a U.S. District Judge by Jimmy Carter and he was impeached for soliciting a bribe and perjury in 1998 and convicted by the U.S. Senate in 1989.
He was removed from the bench, but then ran for the House of Representatives, and won a seat in Congress from the 20th district (formerly the 23rd) which represents part of West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale (a predominantly black district created for affirmative action reasons). He was the dean of the Democratic Party in the House in Florida.
He retired a well-respected member of Congress, which should tell us what Congress is all about.
If a guy can be removed from his judgeship for corruption how is it he is fit to serve in Congress? So it should surprise nobody that Congress did nothing to prevent Ilhan Omar/Nur Said Elmi from taking and staying if office, despite her anti-American rhetoric and her obvious connections to Somali criminal activity.
And she'd have no trouble now even if another Republican Administration was in office; they'd fear antagonizing the black rights community. George Bush would still praise her as a courageous black woman.
It's only because we have Trump, who gave us Jeanine Pirro and Todd Blanche that anything is happening now to stop this.
I am mindful of Leviticus 26:17
And I will set My face against you, so that you will be defeated by your enemies. Those who hate you will rule over you, and you will flee when no one pursues
Omar is clearly one such, an enemy ruling over America. So is AOC, so was that Crocket woman in Texas. So was Kim Gardner in Missouri. Enemies of America and the American People ruling over us. But they seem to be fading and I believe the reason is that God is turning His face back to America. I assume our people are starting to repent; it needs to continue.
At any rate Omar is an enemy of America and she needs to be stripped of her citizenship and deported, hopefully after an uncomfortable stay in an unpleasant prison.

Plateauing Warming from Carbon Dioxide Increase
Richard Cronin
Query to Grok AI —>
"If the concentration of co2 increases from 430 ppm to 860 ppm how much additional downwelling infrared will increase above the 356 W/sq meter baseline ?”
Answer: 1.5 to 3.5 W/sq meter.
Query to Grok AI —>
"How much heat is removed from the surface by evaporation (W/ sq meter), upward convection and condensation/freezing in the upper troposphere ?”
Answer:
Globally averaged, evaporation takes about 86 watts per square meter off the surface. Sensible heat from convection adds roughly 17 to 20. So together, surface-to-atmosphere turbulent transfer is about 105 watts per square meter.
That 86 from evaporation doesn’t disappear. It gets released as latent heat when the vapor condenses, mostly in the mid and upper troposphere, peaking around 8 to 12 kilometers in the tropics. Freezing adds a smaller extra pulse higher up. Net effect: the surface loses about 105 , the upper air gains roughly the same, and the energy has to find its way back down or out to space from up there.
Conclusion: We are right about at the point of saturation or plateauing from the effects of increasing CO2 concentration and downwelling Infrared.

Winner, Winner, Fried Chicken Dinner (Fat Chance)
Timothy Birdnow
Thank God he didn't try to win the Chinese restauraneur vote or he'd have ordered cat over rice...
El Sayed actually did African American outreach by ordering fried chicken. I wonder if he asked for watermelon for desert? Maybe he borrowed some hot sauce from Hillary Clinton while he was at it.
Now watch for Mr. El Sayed to start carrying a pick instead of a comb. (Remember the scene in Spaceballs where the two teams of storm troopers are pushing massive combs through the desert but the African American team are running hair picks "We ain't found SHIT"!
What a pandering pile of porcupine poo!
