  1. “Beyond natural variability, the IPCC, much to the disappointment of alarmists, has concluded there is little or no evidence that the following events (table above) are or will be affected by human-caused climate change: river floods, heavy rain and pluvial floods, landslides, drought (all types), fire ‘weather’, severe wind storms (Met Office please note), tropical cyclones, sand and dust storms, heavy snowfall and ice storms, hail, snow avalanche, coastal flooding and erosion, and marine heatwaves.” They must not have gotten the “climate crisis” memo https://wattsupwiththat.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Page-90_-from-IPCC_AR6_WGI_Chapter12.pdf
  2. If your insinuation is correct and Biden’s policies are not to blame for the border crisis, then what is? What massive geopolitical earthquake has resulted in the record breaking number of illegal migrants being released into the country?
  3. The amount of discretion any administration has with regard to enforcing immigration laws, makes citing a particular law unhelpful. It is the discretion the Biden administration exercised within the boundaries of the law which resulted in this crisis. Obama nor Trump had this problem to this degree and both administrations followed the law as well. Biden’s border fiasco is uniquely his.
  4. Easy, just deport those who have been deemed “processed for removal” for starters. Or how about reimplementing the Obama policy of prioritizing recent illegal migrants for deportation? This is a disaster of Biden’s own creation and the American people, overwhelmingly, hold him accountable. If Trump get elected the blame will fall squarely on the shoulders of Biden and his inability to stand up to the far left wackos in his party.
  5. All we have to do is follow the laws that are already on the books. The failure to do so gave us Trump 1.0 if the border crisis continues we will get Trump 2.0
  6. I know what the “trend” is, the planet has been warming in fits and starts since the last ice age, long before the industrial era and has continued since, irrespective of CO2 emissions. Correlation doesn’t mean causation. The only demonstrable impact of elevated CO2 is a literal greening of the planet. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/07/130708103521.htm#:~:text=free email newsletter.-,Deserts 'greening' from rising carbon dioxide%3A Green foliage boosted,across the world's arid regions&text=Summary%3A,fertilization%2C according to new research.
  7. Helping migrants reach their destination is simply humane. Keeping them trapped in an overcrowded border town is unconscionable.
  8. I think you mean changing the subject to avoid revealing hypocrisy
  9. Wrong “According to the governor’s office, migrants willingly accept Texas-sponsored transportation and sign a consent waiver.” https://www.texastribune.org/2023/12/20/texas-plane-immigrants-chicago-greg-abbott-busing/
  10. Thread drift, let’s get back to my original question, ”Is the mayor of Denver a bad actor for shipping migrants to Chicago and NYC, or does he get a pass because he is a Democrat?” There! I even included the parentheses
  11. Neither did the Governor of Texas. Surely you don’t think the migrants wanted to stay in Eagle Pass TX. Just for you “..” Is that better? BTW I thought it was obvious that the cut and paste weren’t my words, that said I should have added the parentheses.
  12. You can’t have it both ways, either CO2 drives global temperatures or its natural variability. I choose the latter.
  13. Well here it is folks! Let’s get the big one out of the way. Global Temperature prediction = WRONG (I failed to predict a strong ElNino) CO2 emissions = correct Coal usage = correct Floods, droughts, hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, hailstorms, lightning strikes, blizzards and all meteorological phenomena within historical boundaries = correct Arctic sea ice still exists = correct EV adaptation stalled = correct “Green” energy transition stalled = correct Global food production at or near record levels = correct Polar bear population stable = correct That gives me a B+
  14. The question still stands. Is the mayor of Denver a bad actor for shipping migrants to Chicago and NYC, or does he get a pass because he is a Democrat? Hypocrisy detector activated!
  15. Ship them right up to Madison, I’m sure Mayor Rhodes-Conway (D) won’t have a problem with that given Madison’s status as a sanctuary city.
  16. We had a member on this forum call the Republican governor of Texas an asshole for busing migrants to Chicago. I wonder what he thinks of the Democrat mayor of Denver doing the same, or is that just fine because he’s a Democrat? “Denver alone has spent at least $4.3 million in city funds to send migrants to other U.S. cities, freeing up shelter beds for new arrivals while adding to the numbers in other Democratic-led cities such as Chicago…” https://apnews.com/article/denver-migrants-bus-tickets-border-plane-charters-c4584cc4f6eb848aaa939ac962582922#
  17. Someone asked for a definition of woke
  18. Not my definition, I cut and pasted it from Wikipedia, needless to say I disagree with most of it.
  19. Wokism is a mind virus infecting the brains of largely white social justice warriors who run around desperately searching for “isims” where very few exist. This imbalance between their demand for “isims” and the actual reality causes them to label everyone with whom they disagree, a bigot. This gives them a sense of moral superiority and a little shot of dopamine. It is this dopamine feedback loop that reinforces this malady much like a opioid addiction. Apparently the only cure is a red pill which is in desperately short supply.
  20. The good news with hybrid sales, however, comes as EV sales suffered in January, with all-electric sales down 10.9% year over year to 4,674 units. The loss of federal EV tax credits for the Mustang Mach-E, colder weather, concerns over range, and higher interest rates likely hurt EV sales to start the year. Ford has had to revamp its EV gameplan, pushing out investments in the space and cutting production for models like the Lightning EV pickup. “Last month, sales of the Subaru Solterra amounted to just 379 cars, down 24% year-over-year. That's not even 1% of the brand's total volume.” Down 10.0% down 24%? Doesn’t look good for the much ballyhooed great EV transition. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/ford-sales-jump-in-january-topping-toyotas-but-ev-growth-stalls-154124233.html
  21. Woke: “wokeness" include a rejection of American exceptionalism; a belief that the United States has never been a true democracy; that people of color suffer from systemic and institutional racism; that white Americans experience white privilege; that African Americans deserve reparations for slavery and post-enslavement discrimination; that disparities among racial groups, for instance in certain professions or industries, are automatic evidence of discrimination; that U.S. law enforcement agencies are designed to discriminate against people of color and so should be defunded, disbanded, or heavily reformed; that women suffer from systemic sexism; that individuals should be able to identify with any gender or none; that U.S. capitalism is deeply flawed”
