The Truth About the Greenlandic Ice Collapse
Timothy Birdnow
How they are lying about the Greenland ice breakup.
Turns out this massive chunk of ice that broke off of the Petermann glacier was in fact only one third of the ice that has grown in the last FEW YEARS. Petermann has been gaining ice, not losing it, for some time.
That's what happens when glaciers grow too large; they collapse.Its like a fingernail growing too long - it eventually breaks off.
This glacier has been growing since 2012. And in fact Greenland has been gaining ice this year - five hundred billion tons of it.
But the media and AI are still claiming Greenland is losing ice and that this shows global warming is melting the Greenland ice sheet away. Nothing could be further from the truth.
If the science is on their side, if the truth is on their side, why do they have to lie?

Little Sodom on the Prairie
Timothy Birdnow
Belleville Illinois is a community across the Mississippi River from St. Louis. It used to be a largely conservative place, although it did suffer from the problems associated with labor unions who represented a lot of the people there. So often there were votes for Democrats coming from Belleville, but it was still a fairly conservative small c place.
The city now hosts an LGBTQ celebration featuring:
" drag and aerial arts performances, food vendors and local bands"
And the article further states:
"Out in STL Magazine listed the Old Belleville Historic District the best community for LGBTQ families in the St. Louis region last year. The magazine called the city a "rare refuge” near St. Louis for queer and transgender residents."
What is interesting about this is that all of this has happened since the Federal Government sued the city years ago over not having enough black people or encouraging them to move to Belleville. They complied and have since complied with the newest "civil rights" promotion - gay and trans.
This is how the Federal Government can destroy a community.
Belleville sits near East St. Louis, perhaps the worst, most impoverished hell-hole in America and the citizens of Belleville had sought to minimize the number of East St. Louis residents who wanted to move there. That's what got them in hot water.
So I suppose they invited homosexuals and the rest to immigrate to the city instead.
I would add that James Hodgkinson, the man who shot the Republican Congressmen while they were practicing for a baseball game, was a Belleville resident, so they were never THAT conservative. But this will eventually destroy any hope the city has of retaining a family oriented community.
This is how Democrats destroy communities. Belleville is now Sodom on the prairie.

Plague in Russia
Timothy Birdnow
Fear of weaponized plague is a handy way to guarantee no international forces want to invade Russia.
Were I Putin I would definitely encourage the West to worry about disease in Russia.
I am NOT saying this isn't true, but I am saying the Russians seem unusually quick to report this, which is something that they normally would have sought to bury. I suspect Putin has ulterior motives.

Coincidence that China and Russia weeks prior to this ran a joint exercise in pandemic preparedness. Also there are reports from Mongolia of 3 cases of pneumonic plague that came from animals.Reports from China of a new covid strain that is effecting people 20-40 yrs of age with estimates of possible deaths from it at 20 million.

Thanks Mike; you are a font of useful information! I swear; I learn more from you than from any news source!
I'm sure at least in Russia right now conditions are probably ripe for a major outbreak of - something. I imagine the Russian People are getting pretty hungry right now.

Copycat
Timothy Birdnow
This is what happens when you let another baby killing mother get off.
I suspect this wouldn't have happened had Clancey not wiggled out of the noose. This is probably a copycat crime.
If you fail to enforce the law people will break it. If you make them heroes to some of the public you REALLY encourage it.

Thomas: What Prevents You from Suing Gas Stations?
Timothy Birdnow
Clarence Thomas makes an obvious point:
Tom Elliott on X:
"Clarence Thomas just exposed Boulder's plaintiff prosecuting its Suncor Energy case. (Boulder wants to sue energy companies for their ostensible impact on the climate.) Thomas got Boulder's attorney to admit that if he prevails, they could just as easily sue local gas stations. Justice Thomas: "If you prevail, is there a limiting principle to whom you can suit?" Kevin Russell: "There are a number. There are constitutional limitations ... The question here is not whether anything in the Constitution prohibits this lawsuit but whether specific theories they raised in the Colorado Supreme Court past are valid." Thomas: "So you could just as easily sue large retailers of these products?" Kevin Russell: "Nothing in the Constitution prevents that." Thomas: "But nothing in our theory prevents that?" Russell: "Nothing in our theory prevents that. In terms of when lots of people act together to cause widespread harm, there can be multiple defendants liable.""

After Years of Neglect Dems are SHOCKED Their Water Supplies in California are Running Low
Timothy Birdnow
The Golden State is more brown these days.
Lakes Mead and Powell are both drying up faster than Kamala Harris and while the state may officially blame "climate change" the fact remains they've been pulling a lot of water out of both and the State refuses to store any water lest some bait fish suffer. California goes through periodic droughts and it is no surprise that another has come The surprise is that the authorities are surprised. They made no plans to avoid this.
Governor Gavin Newsom was quite pleased with himself that he and his cohorts just completed
the largest dam removal project in history. No mentio of this in the article on lakes Powell and Mead.
The Colorado river basin isn't the only one where California has removed dams and dried up the country; the Klamath river basin in northern California saw several dams - hydro-electric dams - removed, meaning there is less available water in the region but also less electricity generated in a state already starved for power.
California wants a state of nature to return and this is what that looks like. No dams, no water and no power.
The only bright spot in this is that many people are leaving so they need less water and power. Now THAT is good old California values!

The Legend of Frank
(I'm trying something a little different. I am writing a spoof story series, something I could see as a comic in the paper or in a comic book, and I thought I'd share it here. If nobody likes it I won't write any more but I thought it was pretty funny. I've got a few ideas of how to make this thing last a while.)
The Legend of Frankenhero
By Timothy Birdnow
Chapter One
The Genesis of a Supoerhero
It all began on a dark and stormy night in the backwoods of the Missouri Ozarks, but it actually began well before that. Our story really started with a former meat cutter named Franklyn Foch (with a chuh sound) who grew up in the Black Forest of Germany and then snuck into the United States from Mexico, riding with a Coyote among a bunch of Mexican migrants. Foch had reason to sneak in as his war record was, uh, problematic.

America Now Owns the World
Timothy Birdnow
Pedro Sanchez, Spain's prime minister, has just
called a snap election as a result of the collapse of confidence in his administration as a result of the invasion of his country by illegal aliens and other mishaps as a result of his woke socialist policies.
From the European Business article:
On Monday, 5 October, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez called an early general election for 29 November. The move comes after Spain’s fragmented parliament rejected his government’s key housing measures last week, amid protests across the country. "We need to renew people’s support,” Sánchez said in a televised address, saying he wanted a much larger progressive majority to overcome vested interests. It is a big gamble. His Socialist Party is trailing in the polls, and those polls point to a conservative People’s Party government relying on the far-right Vox.
end
Which means the leftist party will probably cheat. They have to.
This article, which keeps speaking about a possible "far right government" never once mentions the Muslim invasion of Ceuta or of European Spain by Muslims. No mention of that at all.
The primary reason they claim the Spanish are dissatisfied is rising housing costs. Of course those housing costs have been rising because they have allowed vast numbers of Muslims into their country, people who are taking away housing from native born Spaniards.
The article says Spain has the strongest economy, or at least one of them, in Europe and also mentions Spain is doing well on energy, not being hurt by the diesel shortage so much because it has no fewer than eight refineries (which will wind up being closed, no doubt, if the current government remains in place). Energy is the cornerstone of Western civilization and an energy rich country will fare well but an energy poor country will floounder. Right now it's not about who has the raw materials but about who is willing to use what they have. Net Zero, the policy of reducing carbon dioxide emissions, is strangling Europe.
Still, the Europeans have their heads buried in the sand oer immigration and no doubt this article ignores it to stay out of trouble with the thugs in Brussels. It is against the law to express anti-immigrant sentiments in the European Union.
Anyway there is a real chance of restoring sanity to Spain. Let us hope the public holds that anger until the election and that the socialists don't steal the country as they are prone to do.

Time for Wendy to Leave Neverland
Timothy Birdnow
This is an interesting essay from American Thinker.
The argument made here is that women in the West are in a position that women through history and around the world couldn't even dare dream about in terms of power and wealth and prestige yet young women today blame men for every piece of unhappiness in their lives and complain about "patriarchy" when in fact we are living more in a world of matriarchy, where women have the best of both worlds; they can be bosses and cops and anything else they want while at the same time have special protections that have held over from the old days where women were protected by society. But it isn't enough for them.
I would add that this thinking is essentially what little girls indulge. We all remember the way many little girls acted, running to parents or teachers of anybody else and tattling when things didn't go their way. Not all, surely, but it was the way they operated because little girls were treated with greater care by their parents and by society in general than were boys and essentially they learned early on how to take advantage of the fact (when in truth little girls are about as strong as little boys when very young; it is only later the boys suddenly grow bigger and get stronger physically). That is part of why girls become liberals; they learned not to stand up for themselves, to be strong, but rather to turn to authorities, to the flock, and in this way they found they had power because they could get someone with power to side with them. That thinking is perfect for the conversion of someone to the Left as an adult.
Again, not all. My wife was not like that, nor is Dana's wife. But there always was a certain class of girl you knew in school who WAS that way, who ran to the teacher to tattle on any behavior she deemed improper.
These crazy white women of today are essentially channeling their inner bratty schoolgirl. It's the expression of a basic instinct that women used to learn to repress.
And the flip side is that men are now cowed by such women as they were by the teachers who punished them for something for which the little tattler ratted them out. Men are half the problem and have been for a long time; instead of just saying no and perhaps facing a life of ostricism by these gals men gave in to humor them and they ran roughshod over our whole civilization. Feminism was always powerless without the men playing along. It was like a girl demanding her little brother play house or some other girlie game he didn't want to play.
So now they are "all grown up" but still behaving like the bratty little girls that reside inside of them.
Being an adult means taking responsibility for you life and your actions. There is a sizable chunk of our women who refuse to grow up, a kind of reverse Peter Pan where Peter grew up and Wendy stayed in Neverland. Eternal childhood makes one very unhappy; our purpose on this Earth is to grow and to learn how to be a whole human being. You cannot grow if you expect others to be the source of your happiness and to blame others for your problems.
That's why we see so many times when a woman does something terrible and the feminists immediately spring to her defense, a reflex action by them. A woman who murders her three kids, for instance, should be condemned by everyone yet the feminists instead try to blame the poor husband for her murders. It's staggering. But it's the kind of reasoning we expect from children, and that's what these women essentially are.
Time for Wendy to leave Neverland.

The problem is made worse by the fact that women voters will turn out in force and vote for a female candidate simply because she is a woman. They have no other reason for supporting her, and need none. Merely that she is a woman is all they need. Men will never vote for a male candidate simply because he is a man. They regard the idea of doing such a thing as utterly ridiculous.

America Was the Source of Communism

8 elections in Latin America since USAID got defunded
The "far-right" won all 8 of them
6:55 PM · Oct 4, 2026
Turns out America was the source of Communism around the world. No wonder the Chinese didn't resist us all that much; we were doing their work for them.
Peru, Costa Rica, Chile', Bolivia, Honduras, and Equador all turned from the Dark Side. And Brazil may well do likewise. Venezuela is probably going to hold elections soon and if they do the Communists will quite possibly be voted out of office. That means the end of radical leftism in all of South America, and all that since 2022 - when USAID was defunded.
Wonder what is happening in Nicaragua with the Sandanistas?
Restoring America and the world order did not require some brilliant new policy - just common sense and a willingness to defund those who promote the radicalism. That is what the Left has always done, funded themselves with OUR money. They've been brilliant at tricking the public into believing we are doing something charitable or decent when in fact the left planned to subvert it to their interests all along.
Now let's see how well the Democrats do in this upcoming election. I suspect they got a fair chunk of change laundered to them from USAID as well as all these banana republic socialists.

The French are Revolting
Timothy Birdnow
Leftists like to riot; it's fun and it makes a big splash. But you don't do it without good reason; that can turn the public against you.
So one must wonder why the French are revolting (they stink on ice!) or rather rioting.
It's not the French; it's the muslim aliens and their bolshevik fellows - people who do not love France and want to tear it apart.
This shows the depth of the problem created by socialism and letting anyone - especially Muslims - come into the country.
It was reported these riots were about conditions in public schools. Ri-ight. You burn down schools to protest the condition of schools. Schools do not spark such rage. And photos show it was overhwelmingly non-white people involved.
No, this was a riot for political reasons.
The West had better wake up and soon if it wants to survive. Otherwise we had all better learn the Shahada.

VDH today on his youtube channel said that Catholicism is on the rise in France. His proof was the turnout to see the Pope of some 80,000. That the rioters are attacking churches could this be connected or just coincidence.
Leave it to Iran to provide comedy gold. They demanded the French ambassador answer for the treatment of the rioters by the police. Most of the videos I have seen show the police are outnumbered and fighting for their lives.

I hope VDH is right but I suspect that may be wishful thinking Mike. You never know though.
That DOES crack me up; Iran lecturing people on the treatment of protesters/rioters. They would treat them decently and just kill them I suppose.

Tim: The French are revolting!
Dana: Ain't
that the truth!
Except that there's a French woman at church, wife of the oboe player, whom I love dearly and flirt with (in French) whenever I see her. No problem; she, her husband and my wife all know it's just in fun. But I wouldn't want her to see what I wrote above.

The Terrorists Among Us

Why am I not surprised?
It's insane that a quarter of a century after the worst terrorist attack by Muslims in our history and wars waged around the globe to break the power of terrorists we now have a guy who may well win national office with a terrorist for a sister. What is wrong with people?

Triaging Diesel
Timothy Birdnow
So what? It's the short term that is critical right now.
AS the Bible says, let your troubles be sufficient unto the day. Yes, this would be temporary but a permanent fix requires the end of the Russo-Ukrainian war and/or a market increase in our ability to produce more diesel for ourselves and others. So immediate action is important, most especially with the election coming up.
It will roil the rest of the world but they didn't want to help us in Iran so why do we care? They are the ones who ended their oil and gas production anyway so tey could play with this green scheme of theirs and try to hobble not just their own economies but the Aerican economy as well.
What do medical people do? They triage. Right now we've got a patient that is bleeding and we have to stop the blood loss. We can find and fix the underlying cause later.

What most people fail to figure into the rise in prices are what ship tankers are paying in insurance. I read a figure that before the strikes on Iran tankers paid 3 million. They now pay 21 million. I would think that this would also apply to tankers shipping diesel.

OPECers
Timothy Birdnow
OPEC won't increase production so as to interfere with the American elections by keeping prices high.
Mr. Trump needs to find new ways to motivate them. Obviously they want to see the GOP lose in November and thus wind down the Iran war, despite it being fought in no small part for their benefit.
