Memorial Day: Story/Video 

President Biden to speak at Arlington today. I hope it goes smoothly. The last time Joe went to a cemetery he had to show an ID to get out.

The Donald Trump hush money trial in New York will go to the jury after closing arguments next week. To serve on the jury, prospective jurors had to answer a 75-page questionnaire. The only one who answered all the questions right was Chiang Ming Loo, who was excused for ruining the curve.

President Biden shook up the presidential race Wednesday by posting an announcement he's challenging Trump to a debate in June. There are a few strings of course. Joe conditionally agreed to debate Trump as long as there's no studio audience, no RFK and a group of Visiting Angels on stand-by.

Trump jurors now have 7 days to finish their book and sell the film rights. Trump could be in trouble if they figure out the movie Hollywood wants to make is the Orange Mile.

Joe Biden's sexual assault accuser Tara Reade told NBC she canceled a Fox News interview Sunday due to threats to her life. The former staffer has said 31 years ago Joe forced her up against his office hallway and inserted his two middle fingers into her. In fairness to Joe he thought he was bowling.

The White House denied President Biden was shaping foreign policy to improve his political image. It's hard to prove. However on Friday the Pentagon removed all U.S. troops from the African nation of Niger just to keep the name from popping up on Biden's teleprompter during an election year.

RFK Jr confessing having his brain eaten by a worm. However I thought Kennedys preferred whisky to Tequila.

Bobby Kennedy Jr. told an interviewer last week that a CT scan back in 2012 revealed a worm was found eating Bobby's brain before it died in there. It's not certain how much damage was done. But it appears Bobby wasn't kidding last year when he said that he has half a mind to run for president.

Hillary Clinton told NBC Stormy proves Trump interfered in the 2016 election by hushing up a sex scandal. She's NBC's expert on election interference and quashing sex scandals. Hillary and Bill never divorced because as long as they stay married they can't be forced to testify against each other.

Trump is now leading in Nevada by 14 points. Apparently all the talk about sex with Stormy is making him more relatable.

President Biden agreed to debate Trump as long as there is no live audience, no RFK and no asking him to name all his grandkids.

Chiefs kicker ripped by media for pro God pro traditional family graduation speech to his Catholic college alma mater. He's lucky if the pope doesn't ex-communicate him.

The Washington Post cited President Biden for repeatedly insisting in speeches that inflation was at 9% when he took office in 2021 when it was actually 1.4%. The steep rise in consumer prices has one silver lining. Thanks to inflation, you can now eat food that's been on the floor for up to 8.6 seconds.

Iran President in a chopper crash after Bell Helicopter answers the Boeing Challenge.

President Biden gave a fiery speech to graduates of historically black Morehouse College in Atlanta Sunday on National Malcolm X Day honoring the civil rights activist. It went well. Democrats let out a huge sigh of relief when Joe went the entire speech without referring to Malcolm X as Melvin the Tenth.

CNN’s Attempt to Link the Singapore Airlines’ Turbulence to Climate Change Is Disgusting

Less than 24 hours after likely air turbulence caused injuries and even a death on a Singapore bound, Singapore Airlines fight, CNN reporter, Jacopo Prisco, was quick to raise the specter of climate change as the cause. There is no real-world connection between long-term climate change and trends in air turbulence or in air injuries. There is no data whatsoever indicating climate change threatens to cause an increase in unstable air currents, and the data that does exist shows that even as the planet has slightly warmed, in-flight injuries from turbulence have declined or remained relatively flat, even as the number of fliers and miles flown have increased dramatically.

The reader might notice the phrase “likely air turbulence” in the paragraph above. That’s because, although from the experience of the aircraft and the testimony of the passengers and flight crew, turbulence was the most likely cause of the deadly mishap, until the flight recorders are checked, and plane examined we can’t know for certain their were no other issues contributing to or causing the jet’s unexpected sharp drop in altitude and erratic flight for a short period thereafter.

Despite its title, most of CNN’s story, “Climate change could be about to make flight turbulence a lot worse,” is a straight forward discussion of the various type and degrees of turbulence, how it can affect flights and cause injuries, and how many people experience in-flight turbulence and injuries each year. So far so good, straight reporting in the aftermath of a horrific, ultimately deadly, air incident.

We have World Class windless weather: Today 95% of wind turbines on the continent of Australia are failing
By Jo Nova

There is no saving the Australian grid from a high pressure cell.

Right now 19 out of 20 wind turbines are essentially towers of fiberglass waste

Australia has built 11.5 GW of theoretical total wind power capacity on the National Energy Market (NEM) spread across 80 locations on the Eastern Seaboard, and at one point today only 4.1% of it was working.  Another gigawatt of generation on the Western side is only generating at 3 – 5% capacity.

The green bar below represents total wind generation today compared to the total power consumed (the black line).

NEM Wind generation May 27, 2024. Australia.

The Australian government is dismissing comparisons with costs of running grids based on unreliable wind and solar power overseas because we supposedly have “world-class resources” and “natural advantages in renewables“. But we also have world-class high pressure cells that stop wind generation across the entire nation simultaneously.

What’s better for the climate: A paper book, or an e-reader?

The summer reading season is here.

Some people will opt for paperbacks because they're easy to borrow and share. Others will go for e-readers, or audiobooks streamed on a phone.

But which is the more environmentally sustainable option? Reading's carbon footprint is not large compared to other things people do, like travel, and it isn’t something most people consider when choosing how to read a book. But for those looking for small changes in their lives to reduce their impact on the climate, it might be worth exploring how the ways we choose to read books affect the planet.

A complicated question to answer
Whether it's better to read books in print or on a device is complicated, because of the complex interplay of the resources involved across the entire lifecycle of a published work: how books and devices are shipped, what energy they use to run, if they can be recycled.

Digital reading is on the rise — especially audiobooks. According to the Association of American Publishers, they now capture about the same share of the total US book market as e-books — roughly 15%. But print is still by far the most popular format.
