Maui Sued Big Oil in 2020 and that matter is still before the courts. More than two dozen cities and states are suing Big Oil over climate change – they just got a boost from the US Supreme Court The recent fires and death toll may provide some real trajectory to boost those potential jurors and damage awards. Discovery in these matters has revealed that oil companies have known for decades that fossil fuels are the direct cause of global warming. Hopefully the shareholders are severely punished for these actions just like big tobacco was. Sorry Brent.

Be it the seventies or now a stoner is still a stoner. in other news the National Hurricane Center is tracking one hurricane, a cat 4 headed to the US. In addition four tropical disturbances are being tracked. So how many kilos of crow can Brent eat in a day? For Americans it would be how many lbs of crow can BH eat in a day? OK, OK its a trick question. Everyone knows Brent doesn't eat crow. He backpedals like a madman.

Now they need some jamming pods and standoff weapons. In other news. The "North Korean missile capable of striking the U.S. most likely a result of cooperation with Russia, think tank says" "The Hwasong-18 missile’s physical dimensions and its flight trajectory data appear “nearly identical” to those at of Russia’s Topol-M ICBM" "The Topol-M, designated the SS-27 by the United States, is a three-stage, solid-fueled missile with a reported range in excess of 10,000 kilometers. The missile can be deployed on both silo-based and mobile land-based launch platforms. Roughly similar to the U.S. Minuteman III in capability and sophistication, the Topol-M is deployed with a single warhead with an estimated yield of 550 kilotons, although the missile can be modified to carry at least three warheads." It is usually equipped with maneuverable warheads. Putin/Russia is also providing nuclear and missile technology to Iran in exchange for weapons.

Because you're too considerate you conceded too much in you're response. US pharma doesn't own the French drug procurement system, the Canadian system the EU, Australia, NZ, etc. etc. It doesn't control or influence the drug approval process in those countries. US pharma overcharges for its US drugs v the rest of the world. But it ends there. If falsely labeling the FDA as corrupt sells your personal refusal to take drugs that your physician recommends thats on the conspirators. Its all just a part of Washington being owned by everyone but republicans b.s. If being bitter and angry leads to shorter lives its all good in the end.

Agree. I was concerned a couple years ago when some study said that coffee was a carcinogen. Because it was roasted just like overcooked meat can be. Thankfully that "known carcinogen agent" was just a study paid for by some class action trial lawyers and since disproved. Since then I've doubbled down.

Good thing. From that story: "When the FBI seized several of his cell phones in April 2021 in a now-closed investigation, much of Giuliani’s electronic records were held on a database operated by a company called Trustpoint.One. But they were archived, and running searches on files the company held for more recent litigation isn’t cheap. Even  hosting his records with the company costs $20,000 a month, according to a recent court filing. ...By May, Giuliani was more than $320,000 behind in payments to the document hosting company, according to a sworn statement he made in court. “I do not have the funds to pay this amount at this time,” he wrote. " Like WTF. I need to invest in cloud companies.

When ramblings, conspiracies, guns, anger/hatred of dems. Swirls around in your brain like a Cat 5 its hard to do that.

Yes, evidently the US, Canada, France, Israel, Germany and ALL of the western worlds medical review boards. Reviewing the most administered vaccine in perhaps 100 years missed these events. Is a Pfizer/Moderna big pharma conspiracy at play?

OK fair enough. That takes care of Slim but what about BH?

Beauty. Meanwhile Trump’s Save America PAC raised over $15 million in the first half of 2023, spent over $30 million and now has about $3.6 million That giant sucking sound isn't air being pulled into a low pressure system. Its money being pulled out of the pockets of small republican donors trying to save their messiah. Brent, Slim, trump needs your help are you stepping up?

The equation: Wendy(fulfilled life)............................................then there is Slim and BH.(....well whatever)

With five years minimum. Will Melania "stand by your man"?

The new indictments are coming down right now. trump and 19 others charged. trump LOST the last elections. For midterms the GOP was dismally short of what the normal shift in power is expected. But as a hard core FOX loving, trump hand kissing republican, Brent is trying for distraction. Distraction from the last election. Distraction from four indictments. Distraction from the idea that a bonafide LOSER is leading the GOP to the next election losses. Discussion over.

Asked Answered. For those who wonder. No there are no refunds from the trump University MBA program.

Republicans in Texas have become worried that voters may become too educated costing the party votes in the long run. So they have started to close the libraries in schools and turning them into disciplinary rooms for disruptive students. Probably meaning students with learning disabilities. At a recent protest about these actions by republican Gov. Greg Abbott protestors had signs stating even prisons have libraries. Elected school board officials are being replaced by GOP appointees. Including ones who have lost recent elections.

IMO dual citizen is a red herring in the hostage-ransom situation at hand. Canada currently has a huge Ukrainian- Canadian citizenship program underway. Where perhaps a half million Ukrainians may end up with dual citizenship. If the current temporary measures are converted to full Canadian citizenship. The Brittney Griner freed from Russian prison in exchange for Viktor Bout deal is a clean example of poor state-craft. Only in this trade there was no cash involved. Bout however, an arms dealer, is likely helping Russia get needed arms and arms components right now. So he is likely helping kill Ukrainian civilians. Hostage negotiations should be handled in a few select ways. This is the best way but there are others as well. In the case of Haiti: US nurse Alix Dorsainvil and child freed by kidnappers, charity says US intelligence should identify the gang responsible and try to kill its gang leaders. Thats how you deal with hostage takers. Israel uses a similar approach but It also conducts swaps. Cash associated with hostages sends a bad message. Having said that the money in the current US-Iran deal belongs to Iran.

True Mostly true. But a religious conservative government has never been popular with most Iranians. Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini used the corruption of the Shaw to come to power. Most Iranians leaned towards the west and liked western values more than the religious conservatism of the Ayatollah. Today of course the Islamic conservatives have no regard for its people. Perhaps but no non-Islamic government has good relations. The Iranian conservatives meddle in every country in the region. They seize hostages without cause. They have a stated national objective to destroy Israel. As a nuclear power they will act to influence neighboring countries with all means possible. Regardless of the consequences to its people. The US is not to blame for the current state of affairs in Iran. The Mullahs are to blame. Like Putin , like Xi, like Kim and others . They sustain their power through the use of police and security forces. Who will kill and terrorize its people to keep the government in power. The US has set a foolish precedent in its hostage dealings with Russia, N.Korea and Iran. All three of these countries will continue to grab American hostages to act as a bank for future deals with American presidents. Is there any wonder why they don't take UK, French, EU hostages? Americans are the treasured ones. One remedy is to allow the released hostages to pursue serious money damages for their false imprisonment. As there is always Iranian cash in seized bank accounts in the US. In the meantime the cash for "humanitarian purchases" will free up other money for nuclear weapons. Should Iran decide to go ahead with a bomb it could have the fissile material in about two weeks. It has sufficient material once further enriched to build 10-12 bombs. These billions could provide the breathing room to move its nuclear program ahead. Politicians Say Iran’s Economic Crisis Can Lead To Regime Collapse

Excellent access to Maui Waui.

True but between Hunter's small time dealings and the Ivanka/China, Jared/Saudi precedents. Perhaps a modest little 5-6 story office building should be built adjoining the Whitehouse. So its more convenient for future family bossiness to be run off the US presidency. American conservatives and to a lessor extent Libs, tend to approve of such conduct in general.

While Jared was selling nuclear secrets, whitewashing journalists dismemberment and US favors to the Saudis for what turned out to be $2 billion. They sure showed up Hunter as a amateur.

As well as a threat to tens of thousands of other species. Perhaps the species that masters climate change won't be human.

Attorney General Merrick Garland has appointed a special council in the Hunter Biden matter. Obviously Barr would have never done the same. As he didn't investigate the Ivanka and Jared WH money grubbing LLC. trump and FOX will obviously have a field day over this and rightfully so. Because everyone knows rules apply to libs but not conservatives.

i have to clarify this. I would go with this "A single mutation can have a large effect, but in many cases, evolutionary change is based on the accumulation of many mutations with small effects. Mutational effects can be beneficial, harmful, or neutral, depending on their context or location. Most non-neutral mutations are deleterious." Mutations drive the adaption of a organism. We just went through a Covid epidemic and the mutations of that virus is what allowed it to spread and be more successful. Beneficial mutations may become more common through natural selection which drives the success of that organism. I'll give an example that can be best understood by the republican mind. Its generally recognized that people don't have sex(reproduction) with close relatives. There are the religious and societal objections to such conduct. There is also the science based reasons to avoid this. Except in Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida, Georgia, etc. i.e. MAGA states. Where intercourse and marriage with close relatives is accepted, cherished even. trump, a Florida resident, even hinted at this through the many references to the sexual attractiveness of his own daughter Ivanka. The outcome of these unions is "Bubba" with six toes, and Mary-Jo pictured below Obviously because all people are created equal. Mary-Jo can watch FOX and vote in elections in the US.

It serves me right for checking the odd post of someone on ignore. Evolution of humans takes longer than the length of time the planet has existed.

"( I helped) looking for Intelligent Life " Quote Slim Be it in the posts or in the republican party. The unsuccessful quest for intelligent life continues. Someday perhaps.
