Day Five in Iran
Timothy Birdnow
Some eyeball witness reporting as Iran enters it's fifth day of insurgency.
The Mullahs will use whatever is in their power to hang on.
My prediction is this will go nowhere, but then you never know. It would be a great thing if the theocracy were to fall in Iran and the Medea/Persian empire should return to a more modern, Western system. The people there deserve no less.
BTW this is proof that economic pressure works and can take out even some of the worst tyrants Trump's been squeezing Iran since he came into office and this is the inevitable outcome.

The citizens of Iran have often become risible when things go sour in the country, but the U.S. government has, at those times, been in the hands of wimps, a.k.a. Democrats, and the Iranians got no support. Now, Iran is really in trouble, with their fresh water supplies in bad shape, and the people are also suffering greatly from sickness. They need help, and not just military help. I greatly hope Mr. Trump sees what is needed, and provides it! If he does it properly, he may even get some thanks from the mullahs.

Agreed Dana. This is a golden opportunity since we now have a President who will actually do things the right way. But I fear Mr. Trump is more concerned with Russia and China and may fumble the ball on this. And if Bible prophecy is any indication we know he will

I'm not going to bet against Trump having success at anything these days, but of course his plate is not infinitely large, and at the moment he's dealing with countries who are trying to flood America with deadly drugs. Iran has only threatened to nuke us. I don't know where they fit into Trump's "shit-list." But I know they have to be there somewhere.
Yanking their government leaders out and bringing them here to face tribunals would be a lot tougher than our little caper with the Maduros because of the distance involved, so frankly I won't expect any action there.
Maybe Putin could mount an expedition to do it? That's the logical place for the Mad Mullahs to go, anyhow.

The Bear Facts

And I thought I had problems with mice in the house...

From X:

@unlimited_ls
NEW: California homeowner threatens to sue after state REFUSES to remove 550-pound bear living under his house
Kenneth Johnson, 63, says a massive male black bear moved into the crawl space of his $1.5 million Altadena home just before Thanksgiving
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife later captured a smaller bear instead
He says officials told him he could not try to lure the bear out on his own
Johnson is now threatening to sue the department. He accuses officials of negligence and emotional distress
He says he rigged a burglar alarm to make loud clattering sounds and played hours of dog barking through speakers pointed into the vents.
Noise is fine but he should have used gunshots; that would be something the bear would probably recognize as a danger. Dogs are not a danger to bears.
He should have lured the bear out with pick-a-nick baskets.
No doubt Fish and Wildlife has some environmentalist prohibition against removing the dangerous beast. It IS California after all.

Plus, the bear is on California's state flag, so Gruesome Newsom probably has qualms about messing with the bear.

Politico Calls for Murder of Reporters
Timothy Birdnow
So now a writer for Politico is calling on Somalis to shoot REPORTERS investigating the daycare fraud scandal in Minnesota.
Yes, this fellow is actually calling for Somalis to use "stand your ground" laws to shoot reporters knocking on their doors, asking for an interview!
Not only is this inciting violence and Politico should be held legally liable it also illustrates just how desperate the Left is to hide this scandal, which has the potential of costing Democrats the next election and could well bring down the huge house of cards they have built over the last few decades.
I've long suspected much of the money the Democrats have had has come from scams embezzling taxpayer dollars, and I suspect this Somali business is just one such tool. Now that it's being looked into I rather suspect we are going to find a great many such mechanisms out there milking the public trough to ultimately feed the Democrat politival machine.
This cannot be allowed to come to full light, which is why a REPORTER is suggesting shooting other reporters.
Whatever happened to "the public's right to know"?
And as Sebastian Gorka noted, a lot of this money could well be going to terrorists, so Americans have been funding their own demise.
I would point out the Somalians see this as their rightful due, as the Jizya tax "infidels" must pay the Muslims in Islam.
At any rate this guy was a senior legal analyst for Politico. His name is Josh Gerstein. He should be fired at a minimum and blacklisted.
Stand Your Ground laws are intended to make it legal to defend your property from a criminal invader who is intent on doing you harm, not for shooting pests knocking at your door, and certainly not a weapon to use against reporters asking legitimate questions.

Tommy Lee Jones' Daughter Found Dead
Timothy Birdnow
Hollywood has become an habitation of demons, and a place for every foul and unclean bird...
And while this may have happened in San Francisco it most certainly is a Hollywood murder insofar as it involves someone from the movie industry.
The article does not mention cause of death but how much do you want to bet drugs were involved?
This is becoming common with the Hollywood set; Rob Reiner's son murdered him and his wife recently and Nick Reiner was an incorrigible drug addict. We see this kind of thing all the time with these people.
This is what fame and too much money can cause.

Thune Accused of Money Laundering
Timothy Birdnow
I've long suspected John Thune is corrupt, just like his mentor Mitch McConnel. Here is evidence I may be right.
12/26/25 – US Senator John Thune
From Peter Bernegger — A complaint was filed this morning against US Senator John Thune — the Republican Senate Majority Leader — to the FEC for Smurfing $1,148,902 into his campaign. Smurfing is criminal money laundering into political campaigns. Much of the money is coming from the US Treasury = you. @AGPamBondi unfortunately is not stopping this money laundering. So we are going to stop it.

I named your Treasurer, Nicole Weyers, in my complaint to the FEC on the money laundering into your campaign.
I'm also referring her for alleged felony crimes from her position as Treasurer in your campaign committee.
It's going to be interesting about your bank your campaign committee used to launder the money.
Interesting John you went from college right into politics and never worked in the private sector. Then called for President Trump to drop out and let judas Mike Pence run for President instead.
"Republican" John Thune: never worked a day in the private sector for 40 some years yet wants to play with all our lives.
He's is also a big supporter of the fake, corrupt, Ukraine war - which the USA's 3 letter agencies started. He is the one who has been blocking the vote to stop the weekly $40 million to the Taliban.

Walz "It's Trump's Fault!"
Timothy Birdnow
Minnesota Governor "Tampon Tim" Walz is actually blaming DONAD TRUMP for the Somali scandal in his own state!
Tim Walz
@Tim_Walz
We’ve spent years cracking down on fraud - referring cases to law enforcement, shutting down and auditing high-risk programs.
Trump keeps letting fraudsters out of prison.
???!!!
This was a scandal involving Somali immigrants who bilked state funds (granted by the Feds) out of what appears to now be billions of dollars. These were residents of HIS state taking actions in HIS state and being overseen by and regulated by his appointees. This is entirely his baby from beginning to end.
What "fraudsters" did Mr Trump pardon so they could be involved in this? I'd like TT to tell us.
Walz went on to brag about his quick action and how he is busily cleaning up this mess, yet he cannot point to a single person charged by his Administration nor any officials replaced by him. Basically his actions have mostly been to CYA.
Whistleblowers say they were shut down when they tried to warn about what was happening by being accused of racism. Nine billion dollars worth of racism.
t's very sad; Minnesota was known as a place with very clean politics and clean elections but it has become just another corrupt Democrat stronghold and the same corrupt taxpayer goughing schemes now prevail there. There is no such thing as a clean Democratic state. Never.
Just think; this guy was nominated to be the heir to the most powerful office on Earth had Kamala won the Presidency. It's frightening.

Now wait right there... back the truck up into the garage again! Tampon Timmy can't have it both ways. He was saying he put people in the slammer for these frauds (he didn't) and now he says Trump lets 'wm out of jail.
If anybody is being let out of jail, it's being done by rogue judges that were (mostly, anyhow) appointed by Democrats. It's NOT being done by Trump or his people.

Booze Causes Mouth Cancer?
Timothy Birdnow
What a load this is!
Alcoholic beverages have been with us since the dawn of civilization and probably before that and nobody noticed half of all drinkers got mouth cancer until now? Really?
Here's the summary:
December 30, 2025
Source:
BMJ Group
Summary:
New research suggests that even light alcohol use may carry serious risks. A large study in India found that drinking just one standard drink a day is linked to a roughly 50% higher risk of mouth cancer, with the greatest danger tied to locally brewed alcohol. When alcohol use overlaps with chewing tobacco, the effect becomes especially severe, potentially explaining nearly two-thirds of all cases nationwide.
Half - really?
It isn't all the curry the Indians consume perhaps? Or some sexual transmitted disease of the mouth, herpes perhaps? This is Ibdia after all, the home of the Kama Sutra and a billion plus people.
The Left has never liked alcohol, preferring people to use marijuana or harder drugs instead. And there is an antipathy to using alcohol because it takes twice as much sugar to produce half as much alcohol, a losing game from a NUTRITIONAL perspective. The Left prefers we eat the sugar and so save on grain or whatever else makes that sugar.
This is clearly a temperance campaign masquerading as cancer research. It does not bear the weight of scrutiny.
I wish we had honest science. We live in an era of politics couched as science to fool the public - a horrible misuse of what is supposed to be illuminating things. Science is now being used to trick people and twist their views to what the Ruling Class wants.
We've seen this same sort of campaign against many other things. Fats, for instance, or cholesterol, both of which are needed by the body but were demonized to promote changes in the world's diet.
At any rate if there is a 50% increase in mouth cancer from drinking that would have been absolutely obvious all along. It wasn't, which tells me this study is worse than worthless, yet here it appears in a peer-reviewed journal and on a website dedicated to scientific inquiry. What a farce!
So they message is clear; don't drink this New Year's Eve because you might wind up with a big honking tuor in your pie hole. I don't know about you but I'm having a few drinks anyway.

Polar Bears Evolving from Global Warming?
Timothy Birdnow
Now Polar bears diverged from Brown bears 500,000 years ago. In that time we went from the cold Pleistocene to the Holocene, including the Holocene Climmate Optimum which was about as warm as today. We had a number of other warming periods in these latter days including the Roman Optimum and the Medieval Warming Period, which was at least as warm and probably warmer than today, and the Polar bears did fine through them all.
Evolution takes time according to Darwin, quite a bit of time as random mutations have to survive and propogate into a species. Of course, epigenetics says these mutations are already there in the genome waiting to be expressed, triggered by environmental cues. IF polar bears are evolving it's into something they already had been - a reset to cope with a slightly warmer climate (and by warmer we mean under two degrees.)
The Holocene Optimum occurred over 6,000 years ago.
Anyway this is more stupidity from the ever vacuous Climate alarmists.
As is noted in the article:
There were only 5,000-10,000 polar bears left in the wild in the 1960s. Now, after 60 years of David Attenborough warning us about the melting polar ice caps, there are only ... 25,000-30,000 left.
Arctic sea ice has been doing just fine over the last decade.
So how are polar bears being pressured environmentally to mutate? Hmm?
Lookie here:
Looks to me like it was hotter during the Holocene Optimum than now, doesn't it?
No, the polar bears are doing fine.

The New Garcia
Timothy Birdnow
Notice how this sob story paints this guy as a simple family man being cruelly abused by the Trump Administration by being deported to Mexico. You will note that the man is in a fairly secure prison in Missouri, meaning he's a criminal here in the U.S. Also note an immigration judge ruled against his claim he was in peril if he returned to Mexico fromthe drug cartels; why,if he's just an honest working stiff?
The article mentions a protest in the sleepy little Illinois town of five thousand and shows photos of the protesters who are wearing shirts saying "no human is illegal" or "I didn't serve my country for fascism" and the like; in other words this is a paid rent-a-mob no doubt brought in from northern Illinois.
Oh, and he's a restauranteur; how many Mafiosa ran restaurants in the old days of La Cosa Nostra?
Here's an interesting bit:
Ayuzo’s detention also sparked an inquiry into a staffer for Sen. Tammy Duckworth. ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons sent a letter to Duckworth’s office, claiming one of her staff members misrepresented himself as an attorney to get access to Ayuzo and falsified a federal document.
So that means the Democrats are gearing up to make this their new cause celebre', the new Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the good family man and asset to the ommunity who just so happens to be in a secure prison right now FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER.
Last spring the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Administration had the authority to deport people under the Alien Enemies Act but that they had the right to challenge the deportation in Federal court. So why isn't this fellow appealing to Federal court? Likely because he doesn't fall under the Alien Enemies Act but rather is a criminal and subject to immediate deportation.
We only find that out three quarters of the way down in the article:
Lyons’ letter stated Ayuzo is a "40-year-old criminal illegal alien from Mexico” who has been removed from the country four times and has been convicted of driving under the influence. "He was issued a final order of removal more than 20 years ago, in 2003,” the letter stated. Ayuzo was charged with driving under the influence in St. Clair County in 2008. In exchange for pleading guilty, paying a fine, completing classes and community service, the conviction was not entered on his record. "While his visa application was pending, he was torn away from his family community and business. It is hard to understand how his deportation benefits the U.S,” Suarez said. "This is the type of immigrant that we should be welcoming with open arms.”
So the Democrat Tammy Duckworth has her hand in this. That speaks volumes.
We should be welcoming a guy who was deported four times and arrested for drunk driving? Really?
What other things are in this guy's record that the Belleville News Democrat isn't reporting?
The fact is ICE isn't going after good illegal aliens and frankly no illegal alien is a "good illegal alien" as they all told us to go ef ourselves with our immigration procedures in the first place.
I strongly suspect this guy WAS the cartels, or one of their agents anyway. The story doesn't say which prison he was sent to in Missouri vut I suspect it was Potosi, a reasonably high security facility. They would not send him to such a place if he didn't pose a danger to the public.
Of course none of this is mentioned in this article; it's how the press lies to us and always have.
No mention o why this guy was given final deportation orders years ago, I might add.
I for one am glad the Trump Administration is deporting such folks If this guy is truly an asset to the community he can apply for entry to the U.S. the legal way, the way he should have in the first place.

Fascist Economics in New York City
Timothy Birdnow
Private ownership means the individual can sell his property when he pleases and negotiate the best deal for himself. We abrogated that to a degree with the Fair Housing Act, but that only applies to minorities or protected classes. There is nothing that says a "non-profit" has a right to first dibs.
This is Fascist economics.

H1B Scam
Timothy Birdnow
From Nesszweak:
A former U.S. diplomat has claimed that a substantial portion of H-1B visas issued to Indian applicants were obtained through fraud.
Mahvash Siddiqui, who worked as a consular officer at the U.S. consulate in Chennai (formerly Madras) from 2005 to 2007, said on the Center for Immigration Studies’ podcast that she adjudicated roughly 51,000 non-immigrant visa applications, most of them H-1Bs.
She alleged that between 80 and 90 percent of H-1B visa applications from India involved fraudulent documentation or unqualified applicants.
"I would say 80 to 90 percent of the people that I encountered in each of the visa categories, you know, especially the young people between the ages of 20 to 45 that, you know, had very few ties to India, were basically using the non-immigrant visa pipeline to essentially come and work in the United States and never go back home and essentially displace American workers," Siddiqui said.
Trump doesn't want to pause the program but it's time we end it entirely. Americans need to hire Americans again. If they don't know how to do the job then train them, as we used to do in the past.

Golden Apple Graft
Timothy Birdnow
Look at this:
Conversation
The ~$1B DeBlasio CARE NYC scam that everyone was scandalized by a few years ago is hilariously small potatoes compared to the routine nonprofit corruption of our city currently.
Like 20% of the city budget goes to nonprofits — around $20 billion dollars annually. How much of that do you think is pure graft at this point?
They don’t even try to hide it. Our comptroller Brad Lander — who is supposed to be managing this money — is married to one of the most prominent nonprofit barons in the city, who has been made tremendously wealthy by the public money her husband oversees.
And now Zohran is promising to open the door to tens of billions more for these nonprofits through ‘universal child care’ (sound familiar) and the new COPA law that will make these politically-connected nonprofits NYC’s new real estate barons by granting them right of first refusal on every land deal in the city from now on.
They will rapidly accumulate hundreds of billions in real estate, vastly enriching the allies of the administration, while locking out ordinary people from property ownership.
This is pure corruption from top to bottom and they just don’t care who knows it.

Over $850 million went missing in NYC after Bill de Blasio shuffled the funds over to his wife to alleviate the homeless crisis.

Top Woman Tennis Player Gets Soundly Beaten by Mediocre Man
Timothy Birdnow
The media tells us that women are just as good as men at everything and that they therefore should be put into all sorts of competitive fields.
Oh, really?
In an exhibition match the dude beat the chick 6-3, 6-3. Take that Billie Jean King!
671st-ranked male, Nick Kyrgios, beat the top-ranked female in the world, Aryna Sabalenka decisively in the match.
This brings to mind the exhibition game between the U.S. national champion women's soccer team
losing big to a junior varsity high school team a while back.
Men are bigger,faster, and stronger than women and so are better at sports most of the time. It comes from our paleolithic past, where men's job was to chase saber-toothed tigers and wooly mammoths and the like. There is no shame in women admitting this fact, just as there is no shame in men admitting women do some things better than do we.
Over and over reality disproves leftist shibboleths about the nature of our species, yet the left keeps pushing forward with these ridiculous notions of theirs. Eventually reality will correct such illusions, and often it does so in a most painful way..
BTW Chris Everett Lloyd said her husband, a mediocre tennis player, routinely creamed her when they played, even when she was at the top of her game.

This also happened to Serena Williams quite a few years back, when she was at the height of her powers. Some guy who, I believe, wasn't even a pro player and not even in training beat her with similar scores. Broke my heart, it did, as I love Ms. Williams dearly. But it just goes to prove that you can't beat biology.

Truth is an Ugly Thing in Modern America
Timothy Birdnow
So we are supposed to speak well of Rob Reiner now that he's dead and Donald Trump is supposed to forget all this and praise the Meathead?
"Do we want fascism, or do we want to continue the 248 years of self-rule? Do we want to continue democracy, or do we want to slip into fascism?”
"He wants to destroy the Constitution, go after his political enemies and turn America into an autocracy? We see autocracy making its move around the world. And, so, if we crumble, there’s a danger that democracy crumbles around the world.”
"Not only does he not understand how government works. He has no interest in trying to find out how it works.”
"You have one candidate, Trump, who actually tells you he’s going to govern like an authoritarian.”
"It’s really gotten to a very, very scary place in this country…”
"I’m going to tell you the truth. You have a complete and utter lying buffoon. He’s a fraud. He lies. He cheats people. Everything that comes out of his mouth virtually is a lie. And he’s a con man. And if you look at what he’s done with his career and how he’s tricked people into things, it’s abhorrent. I never liked George W. Bush, his polices, but I didn’t hate the guy. I hate this man.”
end
And where was Reiner when an assassin came within less than an inch of ending Mr. Trump's life? He was amazingly silent on THAT.
Just because he's now room temperature (actually ground temperature I assume) we are supposed to speak well of him? Just because he condemned the assassination of Charlie Kirk we are supposed to now give the man a pass?
Trump may have been wise to have maintained silence on the matter, but he is an honest man and honesty compelled him to speak his mind. And his mind is that "I'm not a fan". He didn't call Reiner what he probably deserved.

Somali's Indicted
Tlimothy Birdnow
To the tune of "100 bottles of beer on the wall":
98 fraudsters on the wall, 89 of 'em Somaliiiis, take government money and pass it around...
It was idiotic letting all these people into the U.S. They had no experience with Western culture and came from a place where everyone grabbed what he could in whatever way he could. There is a reason why piracy was resurrected on the seas of Somalia and not in New York harbor.

Out of Other People's Money
Timothy Birdnow
I can sum this article up in one phrase from Margaret Thatcher; we've run out of other people's money. It really is that simple.
Honestly I doubt anyone ever really did believe in Keynes and his theory of spending your way out of debt and into prosperity, but it was a convenient tool big government types could use to promote their programs and sucker people into allowing them to move forward with terrible ideas. Those ideas were not about what they claimed to be; they were more about buying votes and changing the social landscape than in producing a better economic outlook.

Keynes theory
has never been tried, so we don't know if it would work or not. The theory was that we would incur government debt during bad times, and then when times were good
we would pay that debt off in it's entirety. We have never paid off debt, but have just continued incurring more and more debt, in good times as well as bad times.

So what you're saying is that we are actually trying Keynsian Theory, whether we're calling it that or not.

Actually Bill there are times we paid off at least some of the debt and yet debt growth outpaced economic growth. In the end it is human nature to not pay back what one owes if you can get away with it.
Many Keynsians have complained over the years that we just havn't spent enough to make his theory work. Imagine that.
His theory was the true voodoo economics; this notion that government spending will "prime the pump" and get people spending more money is purest sophistry as it takes money away from the productive and gives it to the politically connected. Even when printing the money to spend it you take money from the productive through inflation. His was always just magical thinking, that you can get something for nohing. He vonfused money with wealth.

Republicans Crushing Dems in Quinnipiac Poll
Timothy Birdnow
Despite what the media is telling us there are polls showing the Democrats are in deep, deep trouble going into the upcoming election year.
FTA:
f elections were held today, Democrats in Congress would be in deep political trouble.
That is not a partisan claim or conservative wishful thinking. It is the verdict of the opinion polls -- brutal, consistent, and increasingly bipartisan.
A recent Quinnipiac University survey shows that only 18 percent of voters approve of Democrats in Congress, while 73 percent disapprove.
This is the worst figure Quinnipiac has recorded since it started tracking the question in 2009. That number alone would be concerning. But the deeper story, and the one Republicans should pay attention to, lies beneath the toplines.
For the first time in Quinnipiac’s history, Democrats themselves disapprove of their party’s performance in Congress. Only 42 percent of Democratic voters approve, while 48 percent disapprove. This marks a stunning collapse from just two months earlier, when approval stood at 58 percent.
In other words, this isn’t just partisan polarization. It’s an intra-party revolt with Democrats turning against each other.
Among independents, the situation is even worse. Congressional Democrats have a net approval gap of minus 61 points. Independents, who determine modern elections, are not just drifting away - they are actively recoiling.
fin
So don't believe polls showing Trump dragging down the GOP in the upcoming elections - they can't be believed given these numbers. Trump may not be popular (other Presidents at this point weren't, even Ronald Reagan) at the moment but when voters think about it he and the GOP platform are a slam dunk, far better than what the Democrats are still pushing. The Democrats are completely out of touch.

You're right. If you listen to Fox News, just about every night you'll hear San Fran Nan talk about what the Donkeys are going to do once they get back in power. She's absolutely sure they're gonna do it. It's as if she has no idea that they are underwater in the polls. Just mebbe she has the same mental issues that Joe Bite-Me has.

She probably does Dana; too much box chardonnay over the years and all the botox have deadeened her frontal cortex. Or she's just lying to herself and her party because she can'tbelieve the pub,ic has rejected her brand of leftist politics.
She thought they were going to destroy Trump in the last election too; how'd that' turn out?

Is Omar at Center of Somali Welfare Scandal?
Timothy Birdnow
So Ilhan Omar's husband made millions and nobody can seem to figure out how.
Given the massive fraud run by large numbers of Somalis, it is quite suspicious that Omar is now so rich.
We know Omar "married" her own brother to commit immigration fraud and get him in the country. Now this.
When will Congress remove her from office - or at least from all committees on which she sits?

When will Omar be held to account for her crimes. Never. It's not a crime if a Democrat does it.

'Fraid you're right there, Bill. We really DO have two governments in this country.
But it's beginning to look like Tampon Tim, at least, is heading for a new home outside the St. Paul governor's mansion before long, whether he wants to or not. The words "I resign" may just be words he's gonna have to learn how to say, rather than "Sure, I'm gonna run for another term." And this Minnesota dude typing these words will be overjoyed when that happens!

You are soooo right Bill! We never see Democrats held to account for their crimes, no matter how obvious they are.

Soy Boy Climate Projection
Timothy Birdnow
This is the most ridiculous study I've ever read. Purest pseudo-science.
Maybe it's the other way around; women are OVERLY concerned because they falsely believe it's the compassionate, kind thing to believe. Maybe men are just looking at the facts and concluding it's a con game.
Abstract
Despite scientific consensus that climate change is occurring, many individuals deny that the climate is changing. Although past work has examined gender differences in climate change attitudes, less is known about how within-gender individual differences may affect climate change concern. In this paper, I study how masculinity concerns relate to climate change attitudes in men. I assert that expressing concern about climate change is associated with traditionally feminine characteristics of warmth, caring and compassion and predict that, because of this relationship, men who are more concerned about maintaining their sense of masculinity will express less concern about climate change. Across four studies, I find support for my predictions.

Oh, and there is nothing constructive we can do about it even if it is as bad as the Gang Green claims. So why worry about something you cannot fix? Women are often obsessive that way but men usually look to actions that have some sort of positive benefit.

My, MY! Apparently subjects for doctoral theses are running way short in academia these days.
Quelle dommage! Are there any more reasons to major in electric welding?
Posted by: Dana Mathewson at December 29, 2025 12:25 AM (fJC/c)

Agreed! But then academic types would prefer to write a paper about electric welding than actually do it.

I seriously doubt that the vast majority of academics know their a$$es from their elbows when it comes to practical things such as electric welding. I will say that from some of the academic papers I have read -- or should I say skimmed -- many academics are equally unlearned about a lot of other subjects also, but have become adept at a technique of writing that just might be styled "throw a lot of words against a wall and hope enough of them stick." And the results of those papers produces, at least in me, the well-known response called "you've gotta be kidding!"
