Is it becoming more clear how deranged the left is?...

this is not your garden variety deranged, but a full blown psychotic break with reality.

Quick Takes

Jussie Whoever:

Imagine being such a nobody that no one hates you enough to send you threatening letters so you have to send them to yourself.  What's next Jussie, love letters?

And he gets to wander down to the station whenever it pleases him, while sexy Paul Manafort the Great is confronted with a swat team and dragged out of his house.

And guess what, my little cabbages?  According to many of the commenters on Huff and Puff, it's still all Trump's fault. (no link on purpose)

Sparkle Markle and Global Warming:

The arrogant z-list actress who landed herself a prince, joined George and Amal Cloony for a private jet trip to NY so she could have a "baby shower."  The Clooneys, along with Prince Harry, are huge supporters of global warming, and are always hectoring us on how we must change our life styles to save the earth.

Yeah - I'll get right on that; you pack of sniveling hypocritical, ignorant cretins.

Feel the Commie Bern Yet?

Well, you should.  I've known about head commie Sanders having three homes for quite awhile.  Bernie wants to take your money and give it to people who don't want to work.  Bernie wants to take your money and provide "free" education for everyone.  Bernie wants to take your money and give everyone "medicare for all."  Bernie wants to take your money to support his life as a millionaire.

Are the Wheels About to Come Off in This Country?

I'm never been one to consider an uprising like the yellow vests attempting to burn down France as a possibility in the U.S.  Now I'm not so sure:

As my friend, LSP, says:

But seriously, imagine, for a moment, what things will look like here when the wheels go off.

Indeed.

Is Dennis Prager right about Pope Francis?...

I would say yes with reservations.

In his article posted on Right Wing News , Pope Francis, the Climate and Leftism
(and what's up with those giant pictures of the authors on RWN?  I find them very disconcerting and rather odd.)

To sum up the article, Mr. Prager makes his case for Pope Francis being a leftie with focus on the Pope's upcoming encyclical on climate change which he will present to the UN in September. 

In that assertion, I would have to agree with him.  I think the Pope is a product of his environment and, well, not very smart.  It really pains me to have to say that.

From the article (emphasis mine.)

"How are we to explain that at the very moment that the oldest Christian communities in the world are being violently destroyed; that while Christians are murdered, raped and tortured in Africa and the Middle East; and while horrific barbarities are committed daily in the name of God, the pope issues an encyclical and travels around the world to talk about climate change?"

"It is happening because leftism has taken over much of Catholicism, most of mainstream Protestantism, increasing numbers of evangelicals and most of non-Orthodox Judaism. Not to mention the secular worlds of the news media, entertainment media and academia."

However, Mr. Prager runs off the rails when he states:

In the long run, this will bring down the Church — just as it has mainstream Protestantism and non-Orthodox Judaism — as well as diminish decency on earth.

No, Mr. Prager.  The Church will still be here.  It may be a smaller, and hopefully, a more authentic Church, but God was very clear in scripture when he said, "And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." Matthew 16:18 

We've had far worse Popes than Francis.  My all time favorite is Pope Alexander VI, of the famous Borgia (Borja) family, who was Pope from11 August 1492 until his death on 18 August 1503.  His entire life was the stuff of soap operas. 

As to the encyclical?  I'll reserve judgement until I read it.  I think it will be a fluff piece saying almost nothing of value.  The danger is the uncatechized Catholics, which nowadays is just about all of them,  the anti-Catholics, and the global warming cheerleaders will latch unto whatever he says and consider it science.  But, then, who are we to judge? 

Global Warming is a scam. So says top scientist Hal Lewis in resignation letter. Hear what Dwight D. Eisenhower has to say...

Crickets chirping in the MSM

From the UK Telegraph

The following is a letter to the American Physical Society released to the public by Professor Emiritus of physics Hal Lewis of the University of California at Santa Barbara.

Sent: Friday, 08 October 2010 17:19 Hal Lewis
From: Hal Lewis, University of California, Santa Barbara
To: Curtis G. Callan, Jr., Princeton University, President of the American Physical Society

6 October 2010

Dear Curt:

When I first joined the American Physical Society sixty-seven years ago it was much smaller, much gentler, and as yet uncorrupted by the money flood (a threat against which Dwight Eisenhower warned a half-century ago).

Indeed, the choice of physics as a profession was then a guarantor of a life of poverty and abstinence—it was World War II that changed all that. The prospect of worldly gain drove few physicists.

As recently as thirty-five years ago, when I chaired the first APS study of a contentious social/scientific issue, The Reactor Safety Study, though there were zealots aplenty on the outside there was no hint of inordinate pressure on us as physicists. We were therefore able to produce what I believe was and is an honest appraisal of the situation at that time. We were further enabled by the presence of an oversight committee consisting of Pief Panofsky, Vicki Weisskopf, and Hans Bethe, all towering physicists beyond reproach. I was proud of what we did in a charged atmosphere. In the end the oversight committee, in its report to the APS President, noted the complete independence in which we did the job, and predicted that the report would be attacked from both sides. What greater tribute could there be?

How different it is now. The giants no longer walk the earth, and the money flood has become the raison d’être of much physics research, the vital sustenance of much more, and it provides the support for untold numbers of professional jobs. For reasons that will soon become clear my former pride at being an APS Fellow all these years has been turned into shame, and I am forced, with no pleasure at all, to offer you my resignation from the Society.

It is of course, the global warming scam, with the (literally) trillions of dollars driving it, that has corrupted so many scientists, and has carried APS before it like a rogue wave. It is the greatest and most successful pseudoscientific fraud I have seen in my long life as a physicist. Anyone who has the faintest doubt that this is so should force himself to read the ClimateGate documents, which lay it bare. (Montford’s book organizes the facts very well.) I don’t believe that any real physicist, nay scientist, can read that stuff without revulsion. I would almost make that revulsion a definition of the word scientist.

So what has the APS, as an organization, done in the face of this challenge? It has accepted the corruption as the norm, and gone along with it…

From:  Military-Industrial Complex Speech, Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1961

“…the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers.

The prospect of domination of the nation’s scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded.

Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.” read entire speech here

Global Warming

It is June 16 and the temperature in Post Falls, Idaho is expected to peak at a very hot 54 degrees.  /sarcasm

And......... my mower will be returned just in time to sit in my barn while rain pours over the region.

Silent Spring

Dr. Zero has posted a great article about Silent Spring by Rachel Carson.  I read that book when it was first published and bought the story line hook, line, and sinker.  To be fair,  I was 17 years old and had not developed the ability to discern incoming information to the degree I have now. 

Silent Spring, and the DDT scare,  started for me what was to become one frightening scenario after another.  By the time we got to "eggs are full of cholesterol and will kill you meme," I had become much smarter.  I kept right on eating eggs.  And sure and heck, the "experts" decided maybe eggs weren't all that bad. 

Remember radon?  They're still blathering on about that.  I remember a guest at one of my dinner parties asking if I worried about radon.  Every guest at the table just sat there looking at her wondering what to say.  After a moment I said, "Oh sure.  I worry about radon killing me every time I light up a cigarette."

And now, of course, we have global warming with us humans cast as the bad guys in this doomsday drama.  How long are we going to wait until the MSM reports anything that is remotely contradictory to this theory?

Posting Cancelled Due to Global Warming

Since global warming has caused an extremely early fall with lower than normal temperatures, my outside "button up for winter" work is woefully behind schedule.

Today I will tackle the area designated as our backyard.  After cutting back and pulling up, I will crank up the lawn tractor and cut about 3 acres. The other three acres or so of gardens may be waiting until spring (which is a nightmare.)

If you haven't read this fine post I shamelessly stole from Father Longenecker, please take the time to do so.
