Climate/Environment / Re: Pope Leo Appeals for More Climate Action

I will believe the Custodian, who apparently 'gets' that The Almighty has things under control and would not try to seize the reins of our climate from God.

Oh, ye of little faith...

Something to consider:

Quote
Uranium metal can ignite and burn at relatively low temperatures, particularly when in a powdered form. The ignition temperature in air can be as low as 315°C, and in oxygen, it can be even lower, around 2150°C according to a study published by the American Physical Society. However, the burning temperature of uranium can vary depending on the environment and the form of uranium.

Burning does not change it's radioactive properties, but would disperse still radioactive uranium oxides throughout the facility until oxygen levels dropped too low to sustain combustion.

This would present some serious complications for those attempting to recover any uranium from the facility, if such fires were started as a result of the bombing. Hit it again with LOX and thermite in a bunker buster shell.

It's a shame to see a marriage end, but the timing is all about trying to hurt him the most.

I don't care.

I will still send him money. He is 100x's better than the existing Rino.
Yep. She's had a year to pull this rabbit out of the hat.

Interesting timing.

If it worked for the pedo groomers, surely it will work for terrorists... :shrug:

I think Whitehouse is an idiot, but I don't have to prove it because he keeps doing it for me.

Editorial/Opinion/Blogs / Re: The Achilles' Heel of the West

Title and presumption:
"The Achilles' Heel of the West..."

The writer gets it wrong.
If The West has an Achille's Heel, it is the belief that all men are created equal.

Stubbornly clinging to that platitude will destroy us in the end.
Or, more correctly, our inability to let it go will enable our enemies to overwhelm and destroy us.
It depends on how you interpret that.

All men are equal in the eyes of God.

That maintains fundamental rights for all.

But as is self-evident, not all are equal in ability, skill, mental acuity, nor wisdom, only in the right to pursue, within legal constraints, the best life they can make for themselves and their progeny, unmolested by tyranny.

Many of those qualifiers have been lost in the rampant misinterpretation of those words, and the conflation of equality and equity has continued and intensified that muddle. 

In the sense of raw potential in any given field or pursuit, no, we are not all created equal, but that was not what the Founders were referring to.

Keep rubbing Bill. You can't polish that turd.

You never suspected the 'rubes', the 'hicks from the sticks' would figure out, that for fun, profit, or the 'altruistic' motive of just reducing the excess population of 'useless (to you) eaters' that the whole COVID gambit had political, profit, and other motives that went way beyond any justifiable or reasonable 'public health' motives.

What's the result?

Well, many of those who did trust you, now don't. When we tried to speak out we were censored, so we don't trust the 'social media' platforms which censored us, we don't trust the software products you produce to be just what we intended to have and not to spy on every little thing we do, we don't trust the informational, social, and psychological molding programmed into your AI products, and we will question everything you hand down as a scientific conclusion, mainly because that's how good science is done.

Although the whole COVID debacle was brutal for many, lethal for some, and others will continue to have lingering effects of your 'solutions', it had the unanticipated consequence of a multitude no longer accepting much of anything at face value. That's healthy, because the truth will endure while the lies ablate from the narrative like faulty tiles from a space shuttle in reentry.

All y'all WILL vote for em, no matter what... That's what I been saying all the way along. That's how we got here.
The question is one of whether or not Musk's new party (one I am not sure I agree with) will put enough fear into 'pubbies to get them to do their job. If so, that might be reason enough to at least appear to support it.

I am not sure there isn't an element of theater in all this, though I understand Elon's frustration.

That's less than one-half of one percent of our current deficit.  Yet $20 billion to USAID is not even on the table.
And the question is "Why not?".

More than Democrats have been feeding at that trough.
