Erick. Please do better.

You say all the time that we can’t measure global warming/climate change by seasonal or yearly events.

And there you are with your headline “GLOBAL WARMING: snow in lower 48 a record.”

So just don’t.

Please keep yelling, it's what I do in my head! I just don't know what else to do with my distress over everything happening. I fully believe Biden is beholden to Iran, he's been bought. He says one thing regarding Israel, but behind the scenes he's saying something different. Now the White House wants to focus on Islamophobia? And how is it our former President Obama is silent? Where's Hollywood and all those celebrities? I was thrilled that our Governor Kemp did make a statement of support. For the rest, it's just outrageous silence. Oh, wait, maybe all those celebrities who once threatened actually did leave the country...

I'm not sure what you point is.

My point is we have been listening to the left give us a rolling weather forecast for 15 to 50 years in the future for the purpose of tells us not think just destroy western civilization to save the planet, and they have been consistently wrong for 50 years and therefore should not be listed to.

When the left tells us look to the last 10, 20, 50 years, they are wrong.

So are you, and so is Erick, when you both do it.

Climate change can only be measured accurately over thousands and tens of thousands of years. At best! Pointing to early snow in November one year and claiming “see, global warming is a hoax” is ridiculous. Just as “hottest summer ever, we are killing the planet” is.

I think we agree and you are missing the point. Rush Limbaugh used the term, demonstrating absurdity with absurdity.

The left is absurd. The left points to any weather they feel is out of the norm (weather is not climate) and tells us it is climate.

Erick concedes global warming on the scale you refer to. The problem for the left is while some portion of that can be assumed to be man caused, the reality is we have no evidence to suggest we can alter in any meaningful way the temperature rise.

Quick, Becky! Lie like a rug, and reinforce the stereotypes about the dangers posed to western civilization by well-educated American blonde women in positions of power.

My local station blanked during 12 o'clock hour where you were talking about receiving a Glock. A commercial ensued. You came back on & were talking about Jewish people buying guns. Feed failed again. I just want to know what happened, if you know?

Thanks, Erick, you explained that the feed went out. Hmm, interesting.

For one of the best takes on so-called Islamophobia, read Brendan O'Neill's book A Heretic's Manifesto: Essays on the Unsayable. His chapter on what he calls Islamocensorship (censorship against criticism of Islam) is eye-opening and brilliant. Recommended by Michael Shellenberger, the book is a page-turner on free speech.

I want to see Iran, Russia, China, and N. Korea “hold their breath” for cyberattacks from the U. S.

I haven't shopped at Target since they started pushing trans ideology on children. That said, I have yet to see proof that they had "tuck-friendly" bathing suits for minors. Target had "tuck-friendly" bathing suits for adults, and they had trans pride onesies and clothing for children (enough for me to take my dollars elsewhere), but the claims I've seen made about the bathing suits for children have been debunked. Even the linked NY Post article uses ambiguous language that doesn't match the headline. If someone has proof, I'll admit I'm wrong. Until then, we need to hold ourselves to the highest standard of truth.

Went into a target recently.

All along the walls they had a bunch of overweight women pics standing in tight bikinis. And they were not nice looking either.

I am overweight. So this isn’t a dig at fat people. I don’t really need to see that when I walk into a clothing shop and that goes for scantily clad women in shirt bikinis either. They also had a men’s section women’s section and a binary section and it was near the kids clothing.

So this is real.

The store was empty of customers mostly. I remember a time when it was hard to find a parking spot.

Not now.

The Starbucks inside was dead.

I left and won’t be going back.

I used to spend a good bit of money at Target. Their loss.

Expand full comment

I no longer go there for those reasons in addition to continual large empty gaps in the shelves where product should be, aisles obstructed by stock boxes and carts even when the store was busy, and staff whose appearance (ANYthing goes there) was such that I didn’t want them coming close to items I was buying and taking home.

A friend of mine went to Target yesterday. The checkout associate handed her an employment pamphlet and tried recruiting her for a job. Target is hurting. Their downfall began with the unnecessary public announcement about their bathroom policy a few years ago. I largely ignored their ideology until they began targeting (no pun intended) children.

Forgot one.

20 house republicans joined every democrat to kill the censoring of Talib.

Rinos are a big problem and presses me to wonder if the republicans really do have a majority in the house. When you have 20 republicans who may as well be democrats for how they vote.
