Jersey Vote Fraud
Timothy Birdnow
Well, why not? They got away with this in 2020 after all.
Henrilynn Ibezim pled guilty to forging a thousand fake voter registrations. He didn't do that because he needed something to keep himself busy.
Oh, and New Jersey also just saw four illegal aliens charged with voting in multiple elections.
No vote fraud in America? Ri-ight.

Appeals Court Sides with State over Abortion Pill Ban
Timothy Birdnow
Even though this will be appealed a win's a win.
A teenage kid can't buy a pack of cigarettes without showing I.D. and proving she's of legal age but she can order an abortion pill online in violation of state law and that is supposed to be fine.
The abortion pill has all sorts of potential side-effects and could cause harm to the mother. It CLEARLY causes harm to the baby, but here you have liberals pushing for unrestricted medication to murder a child.
I needed a CPAP facemask and tried to order one online. No dice; I had to show my prescription from the doctor to just get a mask for use with my machine. But a girl can get a pill she is going to injest to kill her baby. And she can buy it with her smart phone. Crazy.
Hopefully this ban will remain in place permanently.

An Historic Opportunity: Backs Abandoning Democrats, Moving to GOP
Timothy Birdnow
Trump and MAGA have made big inroads into the black vote before the November midterms.
FTA:
He (CNN analyst Harry Enten) noted that Trump’s approval rating among black Americans went from 12 percent in his first term to 16 percent in his second. "He’s gaining ground,” Enten pointed out.
"And you say this isn't that big of a shift but I will tell you Republicans absolutely love this shift that's going on because Democrats have had such a long-term advantage,” the analyst said. "The fact that he is actually gaining ground versus where he was in term number one, this has major implications for elections down the line.”
Enten speculated that this shift "could have major ramifications and help put Republicans over the top at a number of Southern places in midterm elections” and that this is "part of a bigger trend” because "Donald Trump’s Republican Party is absolutely gaining ground.”
He noted that the GOP itself has also gained traction in the black community. He noted that during Trump’s first term, Democrats had a 63-point advantage over Republicans. Now, that number has dropped to 51 points.
So how does the GOP gain ground to where they are essentially neck-and-neck with the Democrats but Trump only rose from 12 to 16%? I don't believe that; he's much higher, I am convinced.
Trump is the kind of guy black folks would like; he is forever being hounded "by the Man" and he is scrappy and fights back. He's also treated them like equals, with respect, something the Democrats never do, and he's seen to it they have gained a lot of jobs and done well. He's prioritized black Americans over illegal aliens. these numbers are correct about Trump they should be much higher. MUCH higher.
The Democrats wrote the black vote off sometime in the recent past and they were once the cornerstone of the Democratic voting block. Now the Dems are shooting for Hispanics and illegal aliens and simply don't care about the black community any longer.
All of this is looking to create a split between the Democrats and the black community It's going to be slow, as black folks vote Democrat as did their fathers. But we must remember the Republicans owned the black vote from the time of Lincoln until FDR, and in fact the Democrats were the ones who fought against black people in the race riots of the twenties while Republicans supported and defended them.
In 1917 a number of factories in East St. Louis hired black southerners to fill labor shortages. These blacks had been encouraged to come up by the Republican Party, who hoped to capitalize on their loyalty to the GOP and turn a strongly Democratic county Republican. Many black workers came to replace striking union workers in 1916. Then in 1917 the Aluminum Ore Company went on strike and management brought in black people as replacements.
The end result was a series of race riots, culminating in a very nasty one where a lynch mob of white predominantly Eastern European immigrants rampaged through the community. Many blacks, in fear for their lives, tried to escape by crossing bridged into Missouri but were turned back by St. Louis City police, forcing many of them to lose their lives.
The end result was between forty and a hundred and fifty black people lost their lives (the accounts vary) in one of the nastiest race riots in America.
What's the point? The point is that these blacks were almost all Republicans, which played no small part in the tragedy; local politicians whipped up anger against the blacks because they wanted to drive them out and thus retain power. Those politicians were almost all Democrats.
Back then it was the GOP who was seen as the defender of and friend to the black community.
Roosevelt changed all that buy the oldest and most direct of methods - he just bought the black vote with social welfare programs.
The black community has been in the pocket of the Democrats ever since and it is more a relligion than a political party for many black people. But nothing lasts forever.
MAGA is drawing black folks and as time goes by and their positions improve thanks to Trumpian policies we will likely draw in still more. Especially since the Democrats have made it quite clear that blacks are second class citizens to the arriving illegal aliens.
We have an historic opportunity and we must not waste it.

Hegseth to Pull U.S. Troops out of Germany
Timothy Birdnow
And this means five thousand people not purchasing goods and services in Germany, or paying sales taxes or anything else.
Pentagon orders withdrawal of 5,000 U.S. troops from Germany as Trump escalates feud with Merz
If these nations don't want to help us when we ask them, and if they interfere with our miltiary actions, why should we keep our troops there, enriching their economy?
Our military bases are a huge win for the Germans and if we pull them they will feel the pinch.

Agent Provocateurs in the GOP
Timothy Birdnow
How Democrats are stealing seats and positions by re-registering as Republicans
Where Dems can't win with a D behind their names they are running s Republicans then will govern like Democrats.
Typical sneaky leftists!
From the American Thinker article:
Re-registering is happening throughout the United States. From the North Carolina News & Observer:
The News & Observer identified 26 people running for the legislature in 2026 who changed their party affiliation in 2025, including candidates who moved from unaffiliated status to a party. Up and down the ballot across all levels of government, 140 candidates changed their registration.
Voters must also be made aware of which candidates in supposedly local non-partisan races (such as judgeships, city council, and school board) are solid Republicans because the ballot will not show party affiliation.
We arre going to see this more and more as Republicans win the redistricting battles (as the author points out).
What needs to happen is a truly conservative organization needs to set up a ratings system for candidates and call out the agent provocateurs
But of course the GOP won't do this and will only do it when they get a bunch of Democrats in their seats pretending to be Republicans And maybe not even then.
Unlike the Democrats who have party discipline the Republicans have no control over their members. They will vote as they please.
Yes, we DO need a "purity test" for our candidates. And that includes the RINO wing of the party.

Iran Says Near a State pf Collapse, Beg for Blockade Relief
Timothy Birdnow
Well isn't this special!
The Iranians sent him a message saying they are "in a state of collapse" and ask for a pause in the blockade so they can get their leadership situation straightened out.
I have no doubt this is true; they are desperate to end the blockade. Soon their ability to produce oil wil be permanently damaged. They are running out of storage and if they shut the wells down will lose much of their output.
They have to achieve diplomatically what they can't win militarily; the U.S. has to take it's boot of their throats.
Which would be a huge mistake, of course. Now is the time to tighten it up, not the other way around.

Canada's Military Problems
Timothy Birdnow
This would be funny if it weren't so sad - and predictable. Canadian armed forces are so full of aliens that they are devolving into a quagmire of ethnic strife.
Hatred of female troops, and old ethnic rivalries (like Camaroons and Cote D Ivory people) has led to fighting and chaos throughout the Canadian military.
They only have themselves to blame; recruitment was down thanks to all the woke DEI policies, and to make up the shortfall they began recruiting people who had been in the country as little as three months.
Rome used Germans to defend themselves and look what happened there.
This is yet one more sign that most of the West is in the process of committing Hari Kari.

Big Win at SCOTUS: States Can't Redistrict Based Solely on Race
Timoothy Birdnow
We got a big win at SCOTUS, which says Democrats can't gerrymander by using race to take Congressional seats.
[linj=https://thefederalist.com/2026/04/29/supreme-court-smacks-down-rampant-race-based-gerrymandering/]Supreme Court Smacks Down Rampant Race-Based Gerrymandering
For decades the Democrats have drawn districts and gerrymandered sizable black communities into what had been predominantly white and they did so to allow themselves to win those seats. Their pretense was that it was about "fairnesss" and "making all voices count" but in reality it was just another naked power grab.
In his opinion on the Louisiana case Sam Alito said:
"Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 … was designed to enforce the Constitution — not collide with it. Unfortunately, lower courts have sometimes applied this Court’s §2 precedents in a way that forces States to engage in the very race-based discrimination that the Constitution forbids,”
A judge had ordered Louisiana to draw up a second majority black (aka Democrat) district based on the Voting Rights Act. This led to a lawsuit before a different judge and ultimately came to the Supreme Court, which has slapped down the first judge fairly harshly.
Alito argued that the statute in the VRA did not justify race-based gerrymandering. Clarence Thomas - a black man - went further, arguing the section of the voting rights act does not pertain to redistricting at all. Neil Gorsuch joined in Thomas' opinion. He argues that the Voting Rights Act applies to voting and vote counting and says nothing about districting, which is a matter of Federalism. I would add most states have their own laws regarding civil rights and so the Federal statute shouldn't enter into tis.
This is a big win; it's going to be harder for Democrats to steal House seats in the future.

Iran Cutting Off Nose to Spite Face, Hurt by Cartel Breakup
Timothy Birdnow
Thiscourtesy of Cornelius Carroll:
The Iran Watcher - " Iran just threatened the United Arab Emirates after its bombshell exit from OPEC.
This move hits the regime at the worst possible time.
The reaction from Tehran was fast and furious. Iranian MP Ali Khodrian from the National Security Commission accused the UAE of aligning with America for another strike on Iran and warned the Emirates would be "taught a harsh lesson” in any future conflict.
During the recent 2026 war, the UAE bore the brunt of Iranian retaliation:
⚪️ 2,800 total incoming systems
⚪️ 2,256 drones
⚪️ 563 missiles
More than any other country in the region, including Israel. The Islamic Republic is now an existential threat to the small Persian Gulf emirate.
With rising tensions around the Strait of Hormuz, the UAE timed its departure well. It can now break free from quotas and ramp up production later without triggering immediate global chaos.
More UAE oil on the market long term means lower prices and a direct squeeze on the regime’s lifeline.
The harsh truth is that oil revenue is the Islamic Republic’s oxygen.
The UAE just turned up the pressure on that lifeline while flexing its independence from the cartel.
This is not just about energy policy. It is a geopolitical gut punch that exposes Iran’s vulnerability and growing isolation, even among Gulf neighbors.
The mullahs are seething. The UAE hit them right where it hurts most.

Taxpayers Funding Anti-ICE Mayhem
Timothy Birdnow
Looks like taxpayers were funding the anti-Ice protests in Minnesota.
There is no greater insult to American voterrs than using our own money to fund our own replacement, yet here we are.
From the article:
A pro-illegal immigrant group received more than $8.7 million from taxpayers in the year that it helped spark destructive protests, but despite outcry and probes from Washington, it faces no consequences.
The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA) reported the government grants in its latest tax filing covering July 2024 through June 2025, the month that Los Angeles, California, was set ablaze by anti-deportation rioters. The chaos kicked off in June 2025 after CHIRLA created an anti-ICE network that led to a union leader’s arrest and encouraged supporters to arrive at a federal building for a rally that turned violent, the Daily Caller News Foundation previously reported. CHIRLA defended the mob as rioting against deportations spread across central California for days and caused damages somewhere between $32 million and $1 billion, according to local and federal agencies.
House and Senate lawmakers responded by announcing investigations into CHIRLA that have produced no findings or legislative reforms as leftists use the tax-exempt nonprofit system to fund radical causes. The House Judiciary Committee and Republican Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri sent CHIRLA letters in June demanding records of its finances and internal communications.
Always investigations and never any action from our esteemed friends in the legislature. In the end they will do what they always do - nothing. If they are under enough pressure they will make the organization disband and let it reopen under a new name, like they did with ACORN and other such activist entities.
The article continues:
There have been no reports of CHIRLA handing over the information, and lawmakers have announced no further action. The House Judiciary Committee did not threaten a subpoena if CHIRLA ignored its requests, while Hawley threatened "potential referral for criminal investigation.” The IRS and First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli did not respond to the requests for comment about a probe they announced last year into the anti-ICE riots, while the FBI’s Los Angeles office declined to comment.
CHIRLA’s $8,726,683 from taxpayers in fiscal year 2024 made up 35% of its total revenue, according to its records. CHIRLA has received more than $80.6 million in government grants since former President Joe Biden took office and opened the U.S. border to historic illegal immigration, tax filings show.
So essentially CHIRLA has been able to promote all this societal unrest with our money and nobody is doing a thing to stop it.
Among other things CHIRLA joined the SEIU in founding the Los Angeles Rapid Response Network, which flagrantly breaks the law by interfering with Federal law enforcement.
We elected these clowns to clean this up. Where are they?

Zelensky the Dictator
Timothy Birdnow
Volodoymyr Zelensky is promoting legislation to continue the state of emergency so he doesn't have to run for re-election again. And it will let him keep all the war powers he's usurped, making him a dictator on a par with Putin.
Now Putin and Zelensky share more than the same first name I=(which means prince in both Russian and Ukrainian).
The state of emergency allows Put, er, Zelensky to suppress freedom of speech and the press, as well as the Russian Orthodox Church. It also gives him the right to draft Ukrainians for military service and a host of other things that tyrants typically lilke. Hitler and the Nazis did the same thing after the Reichstag fire.
Oh, did I mention it bans opposition parties too?
Zelensky doesn't want to end this war; he wants it to wind down but simmer on so he can make himself into Marshall Tito.
"If our partners want elections, let them send money. I will not take money from the war to hold elections.” – Volodymyr Zelensky.
And no doubt he and his henchmen will steal every penny they would receive.

GOP Tied with Democrats in Poll
Timothy Birdnow
Which means the GOP is actually up several points.
Even the polls that attempt to be honest tend to favor Democrats. Oh, and right now the public still isn't thinking seriously about the elections. They will start around August and unless the GOP self destructs (something they are great at doing) the numbers are going to seriously favor them.
This was a Harvard/Harris poll that showed a 50/50 split.
This election is going to be decided by turnout. No doubt the Democrats are going to get out the vote in a big way and the Republicans are going to need to do likewise.
Trump had majority support for his Iran policies and for immigration but was shakey on the economy (which makes no sense but people are being gaslit by the Media to believe the economy is bad when it's actually quite good.)
Sadly the Democrats have won most special elections since '24 because of poor turnout by Republicans.

Fox in the Henhouse
Timothy Birdnow
Over at Canada Free Press Judi McLeod pens a piece about how Fox News is writing a eulogy for President Trump in a rather pathetic effort to make it appear Trump's Presidency is toast.
With friends like these...
She points out that Meghan Kelly, Tucker Carlson and the others who were fired by FOX are actually still being paid by them and they do podcasts and the like supported by Fox so they represent the thinking of Newscorp.
She makes some great points; be sure to check it out.

ABC Disney Under Investigation
Timothy Birdnow
Well past time.
After Jimmy kimmel's latest stunt (talking about how Melania Trump had the glow of an expectant widow) they should have fired Kimmel but are standing with him. That was hate speech, plain and simple, and no decent person or company should tolerate that. The fact ABC is willing to let Kimmel get away with this shows they do not deserve to keep their broadcaster's license.
The media has gotten away with murder for decades now. Time to take them to the woodshed.
BTW it's really sad what the Left has done to Disney. Walt Disney was a conservative fellow and he's rolling over in his grave about what has become of his company.

UAE Leaving OPEC
Timothy Birdnow
The United Arab Emirates has just announced they are leaving OPEC in what can only be considered a blow for ending the oppressive cartel.
This will go a long way to cheaper oil, and it shows the monolithic nature of the Arab world is cracking under the strain of a new world order engineered by President Trump.

"Bugger Off!" and Keep Bombing
Timothy Birdnow
Iran offers to open the Strait of Hormuz but not pledge to stop enriching uranium.
I've read many in the Administration want to take this deal and then work on the nuke thing later. That is stupid beyond words. Make this deal now and we lose all leverage over the Iranians. We need to keep the screws tightening. Give them a chance to regroup and they will find ways around any renewed attacks from us.
It is axiomatic in war you don't let the pressure off when you have the enemy defeated. During the Revolutionary War the British cornered Washington's Continental Army several times and failed to finish him off, allowing him to slip away and fight again. In the end Washington won and Britain lost that war.
The Strait is small peanuts to us; this war was started to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons and allowing them to retain their uranium and the right to enrich would mean our defeat. Don't think the Iranians won't crow about that too. All of our Arab allies will start cutting deals with Iran because we will have been shown to be cowards.
Trump should tell them to bugger off and resume bombing.

Agent Who was Shot was Only Agent to Shoot at Assassin
Timothy birdnow
Yes but in that crowded ballroom return fire could have killed a lot of innocent bystanders.
These secret service agents had to make a lot of calculations swiftly and I imagine most of them dared not risk killing a lot of people. Some may just have frozen up.
Still, this hardly excuses the very lax security at the hotel. The Secret Service is supposed to be more like a priesthood than a cadre of mall cops.
Obviously we need major reforms to the SS. In fact, given the security breaches at all of the Trump assassination attempts one has to wonder if there aren't moles in the Secret Service who are paving the way for these amateur assassins. I wouldn't put anything past the deep state.
When the Secret Service was under the Treasury Department it functioned well. Now, under the Department of Homeland Security, it sucks. Coincidence?

Leftist Haters Gotta Hate, Hate, Hate
Timothy Birdnow
Translation: Libs be crazy!
AbstractIn two pre-registered studies, we investigated the relationship of left-wing authoritarianism with the ego-focused trait of narcissism. Based on existing research, we expected individuals with higher levels of left-wing authoritarianism to also report higher levels of narcissism. Further, as individuals with leftist political attitudes can be assumed to be striving for social equality, we expected left-wing authoritarianism to also be positively related to prosocial traits, but narcissism to remain a significant predictor of left-wing authoritarianism above and beyond those prosocial dispositions. We investigated our hypotheses in two studies using cross-sectional correlational designs. Two nearly representative US samples (Study 1: N = 391; Study 2: N = 377) completed online measures of left-wing authoritarianism, the Dark Triad personality traits, and two variables with a prosocial focus (i.e., altruism and social justice commitment). In addition, we assessed relevant covariates (i.e., age, gender, socially desirable responding, and virtue signaling). The results of multiple regression analyses showed that a strong ideological view, according to which a violent revolution against existing societal structures is legitimate (i.e., anti-hierarchical aggression), was associated with antagonistic narcissism (Study 1) and psychopathy (Study 2). However, neither dispositional altruism nor social justice commitment was related to left-wing anti-hierarchical aggression. Considering these results, we assume that some leftist political activists do not actually strive for social justice and equality but rather use political activism to endorse or exercise violence against others to satisfy their own ego-focused needs. We discuss these results in relation to the dark-ego-vehicle principle.
I could have told them that; the faux altruism and commitment to social justice are just tools used by the Left to put a veneer of decency on what is entirely unjustifiable. In the end they do it because they are full of hatred and are self-aggrandizing.
David Horowitz will tell you that. Horowitz was a red-diaper baby, raised as a Communist, and he spent his youth as part of the New Left, advancing the Revolution in the Sixties and Seventies. He awakened because he saw what the revolutionaries were really like; it was never about helping the people it was claiming to help but about using them as tools; it was always about indulging hatred and narcissism. Horowitz left the movement and is now considered an extreme right-winger. The Left hates him because he knows them and knows how they function.
Current psychology is a peer-reviewed journal, not a blog.
The authors of this study dubbed this the "dark-ego-vehicle principle.” "Altruism" and "Social Justice" are mere vehicles to indulge their pathologis.
Back in the early nineties I briefly flirted with the idea of getting a teaching certificate. I wasn't having any luck in my chosen field (Sovietology) nor any luck with any other decent job (I aced the Air Traffic Controller's exam but there was a moratorium on hiring so that was that) so thought maybe I'd be a school teacher.
Being a white kid from the suburbs I naturally went to an historic all black college to acquire one.
I already had a degree; I wanted the certificate and I wanted it cheap. This was the cheapest college where I could acquire one. I was onne of only three white students in my class.
I never did get the certificate; couldn't stand the stupidity of the education courses. But I did have a older black professor who had been a fireman and he and I had a discussion about the problems in the black community. He argued that the main problem was the girls, not the boys. They all grew up without fathers and they all desperately wanted a daddy. This made them angry, and guaranteed the perpetuation of this cycle as men would impregnate them but not stay around.
That was then, before divorce was as bad as now in the white community and when out-of-wedlock births were still frowned upon. Now the white women mostly grow up in broken homes too and are now very angry and we increasingly see the kind of sociopathology mentioned in this paper among white women (crazy white hoe's). The most hateful, spiteful, radical leftist these days are white women.
Granted there are many cray, hateful black women too, but they seem less affected than the white ones. But then you look at Whoopie Goldberg and Joy Behar and the like and you wonder if that is true.
At any rate this just gives us scientific evidence to support what we have long believed; Leftists have dark, twisted, angry personalities and they become Leftist to indulge their worst personality traits.
In short, Conservatives are the ones who love our fellow man, the Lefties are nothing but haters. A hater's gotta hate, hate, hate! (to quote a dimwit liberal named Taylor swift).
The very fact the Southern Poverty Law Center had to pay racists they could tar the Right with is further evidence of this fact; they wanted to gin up hatred and acrimony. Would a Conservative ever think to do that? No he would not.
This also explains the love of collectivism; they seek the approval of the group because in their hearts they know they are sick and twisted. It's part of why so many trannies are committing mass murder these days.
We would have all sorts of this kind of research if Psychology was not one of the "sciences" wholly owned by the Left. BTW I fear this may be the last peer reviewed paper these researchers ever get published; we'll be seeing less and less of them as time goes by. The Left hates exposure more than anything else and will destroy anyone who shines the light on their twisted minds.

Carbon Dioxide is not the "Thermostat"
Timothy Birdnow
Carbon dioxide levels did not change very much - even during massive climate shifts - in the three million year geological record as revealed by ice core samplings.
Climate alarmists have insisted that carbon dioxide is the primary driver of planetary temperatures, the "thermostat" and that warming and cooling are caused by drops in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. This shoots that theory down.
Date:
April 24, 2026Source:Oregon State UniversitySummary:Ancient Antarctic ice is revealing a surprising new chapter in Earth’s climate story, stretching back 3 million years. By analyzing tiny pockets of trapped air and rare gases, scientists have discovered that while the planet cooled significantly—especially in the oceans—levels of key greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane changed only modestly. This unexpected mismatch suggests other powerful forces, such as shifting ice sheets, ocean circulation, and Earth’s reflectivity, played major roles in driving long-term climate change.
Suck on that Gang Green!
Climate change as it is misnomered (it's not about change but about warming, but since people just weren't seeing the warming they switched the name to "hide the decline" as Phil Jones of CRU said of Michael Mann's paper in the journal Nature) is predicated on carbon dioxide being the principle forcing that drives planetary temperatures. If it is only a minor forcing (or none at all) then the theory - and the proposed draconian regulations the proponents want to impose that will radically change our lives (the Great Reset) are unnecessary.
This strongly suggests we have been chasing a wwill-o-the-wisp and ignoring the real causes of climate change. Changes in planetary albedo (reflectivity), changes in the Earth's magnetic field, changes in the Earth's rotational and orbital positionings (Milankovitch Cycles), volcanic activity, and even micrometeor bombardment all play a part, as does solar irradiance (and not just total solar irradiance - TSI - but the wave lengths the sun is putting out), and solar storm activity all play a part. So do cosmic rays. Carbon dioxide is just one factor among many but it is the one the Gang Green has zeroed in on because it ultimately empowers governments and enriches a lot of people and is being used as a tool by internationalist types to promote world government and international socialism. (Read the minutes of the Endangered Atmospheres Conference from the Seventies.) And then many climatologists don't understand the astrophysical and geological angles of this but zero in on atmospheric gases because that is what they have been taught to do and it's where they think to go.
Does carbon dioxide contribute to planetary warming? To a point, but the wavelength saturates quickly and about all you get is a two degrees rise. It's logarithmic; a doubling of co2 gives you a half return until the two degree mark is hit then it's over. But the warmiacs insist on positive feedbacks - especially the evaporation of water vapor to increase planetary warming and then the release of methane from permafrost. But water vapor makes more cloud cover which has a cooling effect and we have seen no evidence of that - the planet's albedo (reflectivity) has dropped, not risen. And there is zero evidence of increased precipitation planet-wide. They ignore this, and point to DROUGHTS as proof of climate change when in fact the theory at it's core predicts FLOODING. Flooding has not increased; the only reason we see more payouts from insurance over flooding is because people are now building in flood plains, places they never built before because they would lose their investments. Drownings are down worldwide too, showing there is no increase in water levels worldwide.
But try telling the Gang Green that. They insist on a high level of climate sensitivity (negative feedbacks) because otherwise people would shrug and say "so what? This has never been about science; it's been political since the first time the IPCC met to "study" the matter.
I would also like to point out that the "smoking gun" often provided by the alarmists has largely been upended by ice core research; those are showing the same isotope rates in the past as now.
"We conclude that a pronounced 0.3 per mil decrease in δ13Catm during the early deglaciation can be best explained by upwelling of old, carbon-enriched waters in the Southern Ocean. Later in the deglaciation, regrowth of the terrestrial biosphere, changes in sea surface temperature, and ocean circulation governed the δ13Catm evolution."
This as the Earth moved out of the last glacial period; the heavier isotope declined, much as it is doing now, which the climate alarmists are blaming on human activity.
See also this which showed an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide - and a change in isotope ratios to boot.
