“Thus, it is impossible to conclude from the three published [global average surface temperature (GAST)] data sets that recent years have been the warmest ever”

Glowball Waarmenating is likely a lie:

A new study found adjustments made to global surface temperature readings by scientists in recent years “are totally inconsistent with published and credible U.S. and other temperature data.”


~~~~~~~~
The peer-reviewed study tried to validate current surface temperature datasets managed by NASA, NOAA and the UK’s Met Office, all of which make adjustments to raw thermometer readings. Skeptics of man-made global warming have criticized the adjustments.


Climate scientists often apply adjustments to surface temperature thermometers to account for “biases” in the data. The new study doesn’t  the adjustments themselves but notes nearly all of them increase the warming trend.

Odd, innit? I mean, there were ZERO adjustments down in temperature….One might think that they were trying to increase the recorded temps or something……Perhaps to “Hide the Decline”….?

Y’know what I find odd?

I find it odd that the computer server for the DNC emails….you know, the one that “The Russians” are supposed to have hacked just before they “hacked the elections” or whatever….

The first piece of evidence in the chain of (vague) accusations that Mr. Mueller is spending inordinate amounts of taxpayer funds “investigating” and all….

Yeah, that server has never been forensically examined by the FBI….Nor any government agency. Nor is it being held in any secure state for evidence….nope. It isn’t secure at all. 


The only entity that claims to have examined the server is one employed by the DNC. 

Why is that the case? Why hasn’t the FBI done any examinations? Or at least secured the device in order to secure evidence that may be on it?

Either the FBI is a political hack and a joke as an investigative agency, (and Mr. Mueller is, apparently as bad, since he hasn’t bothered to do anything about this key piece of evidence either….), or they are simply outrageously inept……on the level of ineptness that the BATF folks have exhibited.

Or, as many have said, the “Russian” meme is simply that, a meme, a lie, a made up story, and the “investigation” is merely a witch hunt.

Pick one, you can’t have it both ways.

Why do businesses

Once you do business with them via the Internet feel that this gives them to right to blow up your inbox with promotional emails for a product that I JUST BOUGHT?

I mean, yes, I am sure that somewhere I missed that (already) checked box that said “please, send me 42 emails about your product THIS WEEK, even though I am doing business with you for the first time  (and now the last).

Yes, I wanted those 42 emails, even though I got along fine without them last week….And I am SURE that I selected that box, not that it was prechecked to turn on the flood of endless emails…

And yes, it is because of that that I will shop your competitors next time. They might not be any better at screwing with me by blowing up my inbox without my permission….But I bet one of them won’t take 4 pages to unsubscribe from their emails either.

The Tyranny of the State

Charlie Gard:

Yeah, you probably know the name. A young male child, not yet a year old. One who has a likely incurable genetic disease. A child in the care of the State….Socialized Medicine.


A child who has been handed a death sentence by that same State. The State will no longer pay for his medical care. 

On the one hand, this is likely a good decision. Under State care, Charlie will never get better. They have no way to heal him, no way to improve his condition. Likely no one does. The State has chosen not to spend more money trying to save a child they know they cannot save.

That isn’t the point.

The point is that the parents haven’t given up, and have raised through donations enough money to take their child elsewhere to try other possible treatments. And, if they can do so without cost to the State, they have the right to do so.

Failing that, the parents want their child to die at home, not in a hospital. They have been denied that measure of control as well. The State Knows Better.

However, the State has decided that they cannot do that. That they cannot have their child back, that the parents do not have control over the fate of their child. That the State has chosen Charlie’s fate, and the State, with people who (supposedly) know better and who have no interest other than financial can make the decision for the child. They wouldn’t allow any transport to other countries for possible experimental treatment that might (maybe, but probably not) save this child. They cannot allow anyone to know that their medical science is inferior to any others, and they must maintain that the STATE is all powerful and has ultimate control over the fate of a child once entrusted to their care.

Their decision is likely the logical one. Desperate measure seldom succeed. But there is no cost to the State for the attempt to save young Charlie Gard’s life. no risk for the State, no cost, nothing. Nothing but loss of prestige, and loss of control.

Thus they condemn a dying child to the trash heap.

This only works in a place where the People are disarmed, however. They can do this because the People have no recourse….no way to oppose the State.

If ever there was a reason to oppose Big Government, this is one. 

Independence Day

It ain’t the “4TH of July.”…It is INDEPENDENCE Day.

The day the New nation declared that it was a Nation, and no longer under the control of the King. Not just a new nation, but a new TYPE of nation, under new principles, under new rules….Thus was born the United States of America. A country like no other.

Remember the reason for the fireworks and the celebration and the cookouts and the day off work. Remember WHY we have all of those on this day.

And say a prayer of thanks for the document that they later produced which made this nation the greatest place on earth. And a thank you to whomever you pray to that you live here (if you do), as free as any place on this planet.

Now go enjoy your hot dogs and fireworks.

So it would appear

That Illinois’s time has come….or at least the beginning of it.

They’v finally run out of “Other People’s Money”.

Illinois Must start paying Medicaid bills. Additional $239,000,000.00 each month PLUS an additional BILLION in the next year.

And they don’t have the cash.

They haven’t had a budget in 3 or 4 years. (How can a state operate without a budget?….Oh yeah , when it is run by Democrats) ETA: Even NEW JERSEY has to have a budget or the State shuts down. How does Illinois operate?

If I had a pension from the State of Illinois or a subsidiary,  I’d be worried.
