Re our current UN declared: “Extreme Dangers from Unprecedented Catastrophic Cataclysmic Global Boiling”…
OK.. despite their “expert” advice… today, I tentatively went outside to mow my lawn.
That was hard to do….
I was in fear that I would be engulfed in a wildfire, a glacier would melt on my head, a typhoon would blow me off my feet and I would collapse from heat stress and a sea level rise would drown me.
Yet despite their predictions, I report that all is ok. I survived….

Kamala Harris seems to be gaining momentum. Whatever you may think of her, she ticks many of the right boxes for those who like to do so. She also has the advantage of being a safe recipient for the large “anyone but Trump” vote.
Trump himself-a hero just a few days ago- now becomes the elderly candidate. Whether we like it or not my guess is that Kamal will win, unless she makes a lot of mistakes and even then the party faithful and the “anyone but Trump” crowd will propel her over the line.
Interested to hear some objective American perspective on the radically changed realities.

Well, her support is completely spontaneous.
Grassroots.
You can tell by the grass.
And the roots.
It’s a miracle, in a mere four years, she went from dropping out of the Democratic primaries to due lack of votes …
to being the enthusiastic and overwhelming choice of Democracy loving Democrats … once again without votes.
(Way more miraculous than surviving an assassin’s bullet through the ear while surrounded by elite US Secret Service protection.)
It’s the magic of grass and roots.
Totally unanthropogenic.
Nature provides.
Thus and behold …
Democracy being saved.
Not a single vote had to be harvested.
Harvest is November.
I’m getting a pumpkin.
I consider my perspective objective and American as per your request.

Lots of good people drop out of primaries- that fact has little meaning compared to being VP and winning elections and re election, and not losing any of them, for different offices for about 20 years. She is also no spring chicken so is hardly just a flash in the pan.

True, there is great significance in the passage time.

So false if you disagree – eye roll. How about showing it to be true. How about a youtube!
Yes, every candidate ever has had baggage. Hardly a meaningful addition.
04
Sure. It takes a lot of money to run as a candidate and people putting up that money won’t do it when it obviously going to be wasted. So when there’s early signs of little support, even good people have to drop out.
But, how does someone who was less favoured by the Democrats than Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Pete Buttigieg, Michael Bloomberg, Amy Klobuchar, Tulsi Gabbard, Tom Steyer, and eight other candidates suddenly become the best candidate and darling of the Democrats having done nothing except fail at the one job she was given? Border control.
She may well win. But the election won’t be decided by people wanting her. It will be decided by those who want Trump and those who don’t want Trump. Not by those who want Harris because there’s too few of them.
Of course there’s lots who don’t want Trump. The question is are they plentiful in number in the swing states or just plentiful in the Democrat safe states. Hilary beat Trump by millions of votes. But lost in the locations that decide the President.
If Harris wins. It will be fantastic is she turns out to be the best President ever. But, we know that she is unlikely to do the job adequately, let alone well.
20
I would wait a month or so and then see what the polls say. Recently a Biden supporter asked me how “Kamala” was pronounced and that is the state of general knowledge of her.
There are lots of Trimp haters but also lots of Trump lovers, just look at those huge rally crowds.

Obama doesn’t believe Kamala Harris can beat Trump, which is why he hasn’t endorsed her: sources
Former president Barack Obama hasn’t endorsed Kamala Harris’ presidential bid because he doesn’t think she can beat Donald Trump, according to a source close to the Biden family.
Following Joe Biden’s shock resignation from the race on Sunday, and his immediate endorsement of the vice president, most of the Democratic elite have been quick to rally behind Harris — but Obama is a notable exception.
“Obama’s very upset because he knows she can’t win,” the Biden family source told The Post.
“Obama knows she’s just incompetent — the border czar who never visited the border, saying that all migrants should have health insurance. She cannot navigate the landmines that are ahead of her.”
According to the source, Obama’s hope was to get Biden out of the way and an article written by George Clooney in the New York Times asking him to step aside was a part of that plan.
However, the higher ups in the Democratic Party didn’t count on Biden endorsing Harris right away and “Obama was shocked” when Joe endorsed her, according to the insider.
After Biden’s ouster, Obama — who did not return a request for comment Wednesday — wanted Arizona Senator and former astronaut Mark Kelly “at the top of the ticket” when the Democratic National Convention is held next month, the source said.
Obama is “furious,” things haven’t gone his way, which is why he is not joining in the Democratic Party’s support of Harris,” the Biden source added.
70
George Clooney, Obama’s only secret weapon with any chance of beating Trump.
21
Biden didn’t initially give his support for Harris, but he was eventually pressured to do so by other heavy weights.
Obama is correct in thinking she can’t beat Trump.
21
If the “anyone but Trump” vote wasn’t big enough for Joe, why would it be big enough for Kamala?
Trump with 320 college votes.
70
Obama is correct in thinking she can’t beat Trump.
It doesn’t mean she won’t be declared President.

Our own local Tourist area has had enormous problems due to air b n’b. Landlords have replaced locals on long term rentals who now find themselves on the street. On the whole therefore I have sympathy with this headline
https://www.voiceofeurope.com/barcelona-to-end-airbnb-tourism-industry-reacts-to-mayors-bold-plan

The fundamental problem is UK, Europe’s and the rest of the West’s open door immigration policies, bringing in people far in excess of the economic capacity to absorb them or availability of housing, not to mention bringing in people who are anti-Western and anti-women in their outlook and with no intention whatsoever of assimilating or working.
In Australia, in Victoria in particular, there are also now rental property laws which are so anti-landlord that it is simply not worthwhile to invest in rental properties. My friends who own rental properties are selling them and buying interstate or investing in something else. Or, they are turning their properties into B and B’s or subleasing to people who run B and B’s. At least they maintain some control over their properties that way.
200
Here in the UK there are far more stringent protections for long term tenants. They are very much looser for short term holiday lets.
Of course if you can earn many times more per week on air bnb than long term you will take the former route. Those displaced likely work in the hospitality industry on low wages so have to move away.
This means far fewer people are available to serve the tourists

So long, Airbnb – I’m throwing in the towel on your pricey and finicky ways
After several brushes with disaster, I’ll be booking hotel stays from now on
I used to love Airbnb. It was relatively cheap, and I could choose from an extensive list of locations. Staying in one meant I had the flexibility to cook if I wanted to, and having access to a full apartment made me feel more at home than a hotel.
For years, I never even considered the alternative – but a combination of rising prices, arbitrary fees, stringent rules and poor experiences means I now hardly use the website at all.
One advantage that Airbnb once enjoyed over the competition was price, but this has vanished. Research published last year by consumer website Which? compared the prices of hotel rooms and one-bedroom Airbnb stays in 50 popular holiday destinations – the hotel was the cheaper option in 38 of them. In the 30 cities it looked at, the average price of a night’s stay in a one-bedroom Airbnb was £67 more expensive than a hotel. That didn’t even include the website’s absurd service fees – for a week-long Airbnb stay I found in Seville in October, of a total cost of £409, service and cleaning fees comprised £63 and £13 respectively.
In any hotel worth its salt, the customer is always right but in my experience with Airbnb in recent years, the opposite has felt true.
Hotel guests are often invited to provide a list of requests ahead of their stay: with Airbnb, it’s not uncommon for hosts to give the orders. Customers are often told they can’t bring additional guests into the property, or that they can’t make noise after a certain time. From my experience, the closest a hotel comes to giving its guests instructions is neatly placing a Bible in a drawer.
Some hosts have been reported by guests for using hidden cameras to enforce rules; a friend of mine staying in an Airbnb in Hamburg had a decibel counter mounted to the wall to keep volume in check. If it ticked above a certain threshold, noise alarms would go off in every room of the apartment.
‘It’s hard to see the upside’
When it launched in 2007, Airbnb’s pitch was a cheap night’s stay in a real home in exchange for sacrificing a bit of convenience, with no staff to cater to you. Now that prices have caught up with, and even overtaken those charged by hotels, and I’m faced with the prospect of sticking to a rulebook while I’m on holiday, it’s hard to see the upside.
During a three-month trip around Central America with my partner earlier this year, I didn’t stay in a single Airbnb. Instead, we opted for a mix of hotels and private rooms in hostels, both of which were generally far more cost-effective, and not a single one of them charged us a cleaning fee. Most of them also included a free or cheap cooked breakfast, something most Airbnb guests can only dream of.

Air b’nb’s are causing problems in closed door countries from Japan to Albania.
20
Australia’s rental regulations are forcing many property owners out of the long-term rental market and into short-term rentals. As has commented by David, it seems that many of the short-term rentals are now being managed by separate property managers. This leads to problems when visitors have issues – it’s impossible to have them fixed quickly.
30
According to the BBC and ED Miliband, renewables are cheaper than fossil fuels. Hmm..
https://dailysceptic.org/2024/07/23/the-bbc-has-fact-checked-labours-claim-that-renewables-are-cheaper-than-fossil-fuels-and-declared-it-to-be-true-but-its-false/
90
That’s what you get when you ignore the full system costs and wack a carbon cost on to boot.
130
We hear that constantly in Australia as well.
Tragically, outside of the minority thinking community, nobody notices that the more “renewables” we get, the more expensive electricity becomes.
They say constantly that coal power is “expensive and unreliable”, an obvious lie, which is even repeated by Australia’s “premier” “scientific” agency CSIRO, which is full of career public-service-“scientists” too terrified and/or morally corrupt to tell the truth.
160
And yet an article in today’s The Australian still claims that to fix the problem, Australia needs to add more renewables. When reporters make these fact-free statements based on beliefs and not the actual data, the public will continue to be fooled.

Nantucket wind-farm wreck reveals the true cost of the left’s green energy push
On July 13, a massive blade from a wind turbine nearly as tall as the Eiffel Tower collapsed into Nantucket Sound, throwing the Massachusetts tourist destination into economic crisis at the height of the summer season and creating a political headache for the green warriors who have championed these costly and unproven boondoggles.
Yet media coverage has been notably subdued, even though miles of the island’s famous ocean beaches had to be closed for days due to the dangerous debris.
After all, the Biden-Harris administration has pledged to generate 30 gigawatts of offshore wind by 2030, a national imperative they won’t abandon come hell or dirty water.
For comparison, the $4 billion Nantucket wind farm currently collapsing into the Atlantic had hoped to generate a mere 0.8 gigawatts — meaning the administration’s wind scheme offers 37 times as much potential economic and environmental disaster.
When the Vineyard Wind project that broke down so horrifically this month was greenlit by Biden’s Department of Interior in May 2021, it was billed as “the first large-scale, offshore wind project in the United States.”
Three years later, it’s falling apart for no apparent reason, with no storm or adverse weather to blame.
Literally, a wind farm was broken by the wind.
The “blade failure incident,” as it has been generously dubbed by its corporate supporters, has left a trail of damage in its wake.
“Large floating debris and sharp fiberglass shards” led to the immediate closure of Nantucket’s famous south-facing ocean beaches, the Boston Herald reported.
At 300 feet long, each individual blade is the length of a football field, so the shattered turbine arm threw off plenty of wreckage: more than six truckloads’ worth was collected, with more still washing up this week.
Opponents of the wind farm had projected it would cost Nantucket’s tourism industry as much as $800 million over the next 30 years as they blighted the island’s pristine horizon.
The lack of accountability from those responsible for the project has been a common theme.

CO2 Guy, yesterday you asked:
Critical question. You’re well ahead of me in this but I’ve been trying, unsuccessfully, to reconcile the official narrative to what we see in the public domain. Yesterday I laid out some scenarios to address here. This was in response to the Grassley video and the drone video following it on Rumble.
These were the scenarios to address (by no means fixed – just talking points):
Tel replied and I think his reply is worth repeating – next.
10
The gap between body and weapon could indicate that a bullet from the SS sniper hit the rifle. I don’t think the shooter changed position otherwise there would be a blood trail.
20
Yes, in the original news reports it said the rifle was deliberately shot away after he was killed.
50
And yet still aligned with the direction of fire and in the same position as shooting, here:
Crooks in shooting position
https://imagenes.voz.us/files/image_990_660/uploads/2024/07/14/66939fed28df5.png
00
That implies a 10th shot. Yet that shot doesn’t appear in the various audio recordings. If the Crooks rifle was shot away from his body how did it travel so far over a corrugated surface.
20
Simple. It flew into the air before landing a few feet from Crooks. As for which shot hit the rifle, it could be that the bullet ricocheted off the rifle and into Crooks, hence the lack of ‘spatter’. There are no doubt other explanations, which makes the results of the autopsy so important in constructing the actual train of events.
20
>the rifle was deliberately shot away after he was killed
It would be impossible for the USSS CS Teams at the rally to have done that because the rifle would be below the roof ridge i.e. unseen from the rally site.
The USSS CS guys could only just see the top of Crooks (Team 1 wasn’t even behind their sights when Crooks opened up). Team 2 had the best opportunity and took it (apparently).
If they could hardly see Crooks then they wouldn’t be able to see the rifle lying on the far side roof surface (from them).
40
Tel’s reply in respect to 3) above (Snipped – see link):
Ok, 4 issues [Tel 1] – [Tel 4]. I’ll put headers below so they can be addressed individually.
For my part, I cannot now reconcile the “official” narrative that USSS CS Team 2 made the kill shot with what we now know.
Did Team 2 even make a shot?
Where is the evidence of the USSS Teams at the rally site, T1 or T2, making any shots?
Audio yes, but actual shooters (CS Team members) shots need to be matched to audio and shot-to-kill-Crooks identified.
10
[Tel 1] you would have easily seen blood around the place if Crooks had been moving around bleeding
10
[Tel 1] you would have easily seen blood around the place if Crooks had been moving around bleeding
Yes you would but what if he was moving around NOT bleeding – no blood trail then.
Wild conjecture:
[Shot 1] [Position 1] What if Crooks took a “graze” to the head from the USSS CS Team in the first instance [Shot 1] but it didn’t immobilize him.
He then dropped his rifle where he was [Position 1] and moved along the roof in an effort to escape. No blood tracks necessarily.
[Shot 2] [Position 2] In taking cover from the USSS CS Teams at his last position [Position 2] he was hit from the 2nd floor window [Shot 2].
Wild speculation I know but I have not yet seen a compelling case for the distance between Crooks and his rifle.
The guys in the Grassley video spent most of their time pointing and looking at the 2nd floor window which leads me to think the kill shot came from there and not from the USSS CS Team 2.
00
[Tel 2] eyewitnesses said he died instantly from a head shot.
10
[Tel 3] he got hit in the back of the head and it came out his mouth
10
>[Tel 3] he got hit in the back of the head
The 2nd story closeup photo of Crooks from above with Police/SWAT appears to have been memory-holed but here’s one from roof level:
Crooks – roof level photo with police
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/thomas-crooks-donald-trump-assassin-dead-roof-1200×630.jpg
Blood from back of his head and out of his ear but hard to tell from that whether the back was entry or exit.
If exit it was USSS but their firepower would have at least taken the back of his head out completely (think JFK), and more likely explosive.
10
Something of a dichotomy here in [Tel 3] but explained by my response to [Tel 1] above.
1) [Shot 1] [Position 1] USSS Team 2 “graze” only – no blood trail – no immobilization.
2) Dropped rifle – Moved to last position – No blood trail.
3) [Shot 2] [Position 2] In taking cover from the USSS CS Teams at his last position [Position 2] he was hit from the 2nd floor window [Shot 2].
00
Then it’s unlikely that the shot was fired from the southeast facing 2nd floor window of the adjacent building- the shot would be at a right angle to Crooks alignment for the shots at Trump.
I expect a bullet-hole in the roof will be informative.
20
[Tel 4] he was shot by the people on the second story of the AGR building.
10
>[Tel 4] he was shot by the people on the second story of the AGR building.
Tallies with my ‘Wild Conjecture’ in [Tel 1] and [Tel 3]. That’s this:
00
An autopsy report would confirm where the entry and exit wound or wounds are – but it is being withheld – why?
All that has been stated is that he cause of death was the result of being shot but the location of the shot or shots has not been revealed.
20
The rounds used by the counter sniper teams are designed to not exit the body, but to effectively liquify the organs in the area of entry.
20
Above >actual shooters (CS Team members) shots need to be matched to audio and shot-to-kill-Crooks identified.
Yesterday >We don’t know, EXACTLY, where the bullet entry/retention/exit was.
Today.

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/07/ablechild-fbi-needs-back-up-lone-gunman-theory/
And,
Not to mention bullet fragments on and around Crooks – all washed away of course.
In other words, not only that lone shooter (Crooks) needs to be confirmed, lone shooter (USSS CS Team 2) needs to be confirmed too.
Imagine the JFK-style convolutions that will ensue to exclude a 3rd shooter.
00
It’s a grisly photo but it would appear the bullet entered the forehead above the right eye. A high powered sniper’s rifle would have taken the top of his head off. The modest amount of blood would indicate instantaneous death.
BTW I don’t pretend to have the answers.
30
Perhaps it’s possible for a bullet to enter the head then ricochet around inside?
10
Common with the diminutive .22 long-rifle cartridge, but not at all possible if the bullet were fired from a .300 Win Mag at a muzzle velocity somewhere about 3200 feet per second at what is a very short range. (Assuming a serious load of propellant and 168 grain Sierra Match King, or similar).
20
Re Crooks access to roof via airconditioner units (“official” narrative).
The video following the Grassley video on Rumble was this:
Video – See A Birds-Eye-View Of The Location Of Donald Trump’s Attempted Assassination
https://rumble.com/search/all?q=See%20A%20Birds-Eye-View%20Of%20The%20Location%20Of%20Donald%20Trump%27s%20Attempted%20Assassination
I made a comment on this yesterday:
Remember, Crooks visited AGR 3 times, and is said to have (supposedly) hidden his rifle on-site in advance – Where?
Did Crooks hide his rifle on the roof? i.e. he clambered up previously somehow,
Just bizarre that Crooks was not identified as a threat long before rally day (think drone flights), on rally day pre Trump speech, and when setting up with his rifle.
Or was he the Patsy given the go ahead?

Chris Wray Admits FBI Is Not Looking Into Why Trump Was Allowed on Stage After Would-Be Assassin Was Spotted an Hour Before Shooting Started (Video)
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/07/chris-wray-admits-fbi-is-not-looking-why/
Chris Wray: (01:13) We have recovered eight cartridges on the roof.
Rep. Dan Bishop(01:19) Why was crooks allowed to get off eight shots?
Chris Wray (01:23) Well, that, I think, is something we’re still digging into. Again, maybe this is a good place for me to make clear the different investigations that are going on. Because certainly…
Chris Wray then admitted that the FBI was not investigating why Trump was allowed on the stage. That seems odd.
Rep. Dan Bishop: …I think the American people want to know. Why was President Trump not kept off the stage?
Chris Wray: We don’t know the answer to that, but I want to be clear, and this is important because I think it goes to questions that I can and cannot answer.
Our investigation, the FBI’s mandate, is focused on the shooter and all things related to his attack. Now, obviously, I understand very much the intense interest and focus on the Secret Services, performance, actions, decision making, et cetera. There are two separate After Action Reviews, the DHS Inspector General and the outside independent panel that’s been convenient or focused on that. Now, our investigation will- Everybody understands it.
Rep. Dan Bishop: Here’s the problem. We’re out 13 days, and you say we’ve been disclosing. We had the colonel from the Pennsylvania State Police in front of Homeland yesterday. He was quite candid. He disclosed to us that Butler emergency services unit personnel were posted into the windows on the second floor of the AGR building, that they left there to go pursue the person that they spotted, Crooks. That they texted a photo of Crooks to the PSP representative in the Command Center. That information was relayed to the United States Secret Service. They asked it to be texted to someone else. That was many minutes before President Trump took the stand. What we don’t know is why were they not keeping him off the stand? And to the extent, I know we always hear when there’s a criminal investigation, you got to wait for that to develop. But do you have any reason to Do you have any other target of your criminal investigation other than Crooks? Who’s dead.
60
Where are the pictures of these cartidges?
The first three shots we not fired as fast as the last five and the sound is different.
What is the exlanation for this?
The short time between the last 5 shots indicates a top level professional shooter and not an amateur who only visits a gun club.
40
How on earth do you come to the conclusion that rapid fire equals top level professional shooter? Its a semi auto, if you pull the trigger quickly it will fire quickly. Anyone on this forum could do that.
The fact that eight shots were fired and the subject wasnt killed, nor any of the closely assembled secret service people even hit does not indicate top level shooting. In fact it is very indicative of a spray and pray amateur.
I guess we cam imagine anything we like, but this is all getting a bit silly.
30
>In fact it is very indicative of a spray and pray amateur
That was a proposition alternative long ago i.e. Trump ear shot was fortuitous rather than skilled.
Counter proposition is that the other spray shots were Crooks but the ear shot was skilled.
Until all the bullet fragments, trajectories, ballistics, DNA and fingerprint results ( See #7.1.2.6 upthread) are known (almost) everything is speculation.
But at least this is advancing at rapid pace uncensored in the public domain – unlike the managed narrative of JFK.
The Deep State have lost their pre-internet advantage now.
10
What is clear is that Crooks was not well trained. The video images show him in an unstable free prone position with his feet together.
His shooting task required a skilled marksman.
The target angular size was about 4MOA, the rifle accuracy about 1 MOA. But Crooks had little time to sight, the target was not fixed, there were moving obstructions (audience members in the stage right bleacher) and the wind was gusting.
20
You notice he did not say cartridge cases.
40
So many shots and yet so few casualties?
Crooks was firing into an area where any bullet should have hit a couple of people. How could he miss even if he didn’t take time to aim. Did the weapon fly upwards off target with his rapid fire. I think there should be a lot of people praying thank you because in my mind it should have been a slaughter house with just a few high powered rounds from an experienced shooter flying into that crowd around the stage.
20
>Just bizarre that Crooks was not identified as a threat long before rally day (think drone flights), on rally day pre Trump speech, and when setting up with his rifle.
I’m wrong, not before rally day – ON rally day, at 4 PM!:

I have no doubt that Wray is lying. The first three shots and then the volley of five shots were fired by different riflemen. It takes an extremely skilled and much practiced rifleman to fire five shots at the speed and rhythm that the last volley was fired. And I mean the best of the best.

A noticeable characteristic of Kamala Harris is that she constantly cackles like a hyena.
I think this is a coping mechanism because she is genuinely extremely stupid (but extremely and aggressively lustful for power) and has nothing of value, or nothing at all, to say and she expects the audience to forget that a verbal response by her was required and expected but uses the cackling as a “filler” mechanism before moving on to the next topic.
Here is a two minute compilation of cackling: https://youtu.be/HgLVgmGo6Dg
Another ridiculous phrase she constantly uses is “what can be, unburdened what has been”. Here is a one minute compilation: https://youtu.be/gIHSCtPB26s
Unfortunately none of these deficits are likely to worry the low IQ or Elite grifter voters who are her target demographic.
121
“extremely stupid”? I object to the use of extremely. Like an extremely empty vessel. I have no belief in her ability to have a simple conversation.

And you have to love this one

So if she’s incompetent, saying so is offensive to black women? Why? Are all black women automatically competent?
Are only white people allowed to be called incompetent?

How did Cackles Kamala get to the top? On top!
“First she slept with this guy Willie Brown who was this extremely popular, powerful Congressman out in California … and he put her in two different positions that she did not deserve when she was only 29 or 30 [and] he was 60,” according to Kelly.

She was promoted so high she had nothing to do except policy. And that was determined by others.
In other words, her job specification has not changed. She does what she is told to do while ticking the diversity box.
Which is obvious as she cannot hold a conversation.
In my view, she is really as speech disabled as Joe. Which suits Obama, Clinton, Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff, Jeffries just fine.
And smart enough to disobey and do nothing on the border. So she would not get blamed for the rolling disaster.
Now she can easily deny she had any responsibility. She only visited once. As she said she has not been to Europe either.
80
Didn’t she go to Poland? The optics were not good, if I recall correctly.
10
>She only visited [the border] once
Staged at a barely used crossing.
First visit anywhere near any of the US borders was to Chicago when she flew there to collect a cake.
Probably did some other stuff but the cake is all I remember.

The DemonRATs are ageist, sexist (against men) and racist (against white people) and Trump is “old” (according to them, now sleepy Joe has gone), male and white so Harris is a perfect counter to that and ticks all the DEI boxes.
The Dems are also heterophobic and Trump is heterosexual, as Harris appears to be, albeit she and her party are extremely alphabet crowd friendly and promoting, and pro-transgenderism for children. Trump believes in “only” two genders, no men in women’s sports and bodily integrity for children.
140
The Left are going crazy with even more hatred against Elon Musk than they have had since he opened up Twitter to free speech.
In an interview with Jordan Peterson he explained how he has lost his son to the “woke mind virus” and how he was tricked into giving permission for his son to take puberty blockers due to lies from the medical profession.
His son is now lost to him, a transgender who has changed his surname (and taken a female first name) to disassociate him from his father and who now lives as a “woman”.
It’s tragic, but at least a prominent figure like Musk will help bring the problem of mutilating and sterilizing children into more public awareness.

Another battery technology that’s going to save the world? When running a R&D section, we had many folks coming to us to discuss their “next best thing”, and all that had to be done was to move it into mass production. Difficult to keep a straight face, didn’t bother trying to explain how difficult it was to take a concept, develop it into a commercial product that would sell, make sufficient money from sales to cover all the development effort, then have a reliable product that you could sell for a few years before it was rapidly overtaken by newer, better products.
How many technologies have been hyped up but have never succeeded in the tough commercial world?

Tropics
Tropics below 2023 and falling.
Game over.
20
Do you think it will fall to average or remain relatively above medium term?
10
El G >Do you think it will fall to average or remain relatively above medium term?
GFS was +0.2 above 1981-2010 mid January 2023. +1.0 at end of 2023.
Last time GFS was 0 anomaly from 1981-2010 was the beginning of 2015.
GFS was fluctuating around +0.8 at beginning of January 2024, +0.6 beginning of July, just spiked up to +0.9, 7 day forecast to fall from that (rapid up, rapid down – its a spike).
So my answer is not either/or.
Yes I think it will fall to 2015 levels eventually.
However, the determinant in my view is the Tropics i.e. was is happening there? For once I agree with Michael Mann’s astute opinion (I thought) that the Tropics has to stabilize by August otherwise we’re in “unprecedented territory” (I think that’s how he put it).
So what is happening in the Tropics, SAT & SST ?
ERA5 Tropics – SAT
https://climatereanalyzer.org/clim/t2_daily/?dm_id=tropics
Can’t get Tropics SST off-hand but here’s 60S – 60N:
ERA5 Tropics/World – SST (60S – 60N)
https://climatereanalyzer.org/clim/sst_daily/
Tropics SAT 2024 is still well above average but is steadily falling. It is now below 2023 at the same time of year. 2024 seems to be on target to get into “recent normal” range around mid August i.e. early 2015 level at that time.
Tropics/World SST 2024 is now 2023 but by very little. Only a very gradual decline. Possible 2024 may equal 2015 by the end of the year but doubtful.
So going by SST I don’t think we’ll see 0 Anomaly SAT (GFS) until well into next year.

BoM has ENSO on La Nina watch, which should see SST cooling, but on this occasion I argue that atmospheric temps will remain above average as we enter the northern hemisphere winter.

Just looked at OSPO – nothing is happening across the equator in the Pacific. Don’t think BOM know what’s happening anywhere. Didn’t they say that Australia was going to have a warm dry winter?
20
They did say it was going to be unseasonably warm and dry, the supercomputer got it wrong because it is wilfully ignoring water vapour in the stratosphere.
BoM is only watching for the moment, but a moderate La Nina is definitely on the cards.

“The federal government and its $23 billion Future Made in Australia policy have been put on notice by the Productivity Commission, which has urged caution spending so much money on a program that may not play to Australia’s traditional economic advantages. In its annual review of handouts to businesses and industries, the commission also revealed a 300 per cent blowout in a COVID-era policy that contributed to some of the cost pressures across the building sector.”
$23billion in taxes thrown around at the whim of politicians… and for a piece of absolute rubbish, nothing beats this-
““The report highlights that, as economies decarbonise, Australia’s comparative advantages will shift alongside our access to low-cost renewable energy – our Future Made in Australia plan will seize these opportunities.””
So, are they planning on new coal stations now? Of course, it is all completely typical of Govt spending your money-
“Slated to cost just $680 million.. the HomeBuilder program.. has already cost $2.7 billion”
Only a cost blowout of four times the original, the classic robbing Peter to buy Paul’s vote while using Govt efficiency.

The gaslighting begins, trying to reinvent Kamala Harris by covering up her failures and incompetence.
One example, far-left media outlet Axios in March/April 2021: “President Biden is putting Vice President Harris in charge of addressing the migrant surge at the U.S.- Mexico border …” and “The number of unaccompanied minors crossing the border has reached crisis levels. Harris, appointed by Biden as border czar … “
But the same Axios today says “The Trump campaign and Republicans have tagged Harris repeatedly with the “border czar” title — which she never actually had.”
These are the very same people who a hundred times daily call Donald Trump a liar.

Australian battery company DCS sues youtuber for honest review
Stephan Fischer, of Off-grid garage and Alloffroadau fame is being sued for presenting an honest review that they asked him for!

DCS is a 2 person (salesman + storeman, according to their website) business in Qld specialising in deep cycle batteries.

Oh, but say anything negative, like shocking battery degradation over 2 years and we’ll set the lawyers on you!

Just a General Comment on Media Output in Our ‘Modern’ Age: Like a lot of people I like to have a talk radio programme playing in the background whilst I’m working. That means it needs to be good quality. In the evening I would like to crash in front of the TV and enjoy good TV programmes. For me the UK talk radio went progressively crappy from about 15 to 20 years ago. The BBC became unconsumable in all media. ITV was better but ultimately did not hold up in the long term. Talk radio had its good spots. I was living in France and when the French government dropped their minimum French content requirement the TV there went crappy. I then switched to YouTube which was not good initially but picked up massively but now seems to be sliding badly. Competitors such as Rumble and Odysee have not filled the gaps properly. The Australian media scene is dire.
If I, tuning around, pick up a BBCWS programme I may listen for a few minutes then they very quickly get into the crap and I very quickly tune away. I generally keep very far away from the BBC and the ABC. I even have problems with 6PR & 2GB (time difference hence content difference). Where are all the interesting local, national and international programmes?
What started out as media starvation near the start of the century is now a media famine. I’m just sick of all the repeats, rehashes and all the crap. It might be a case of me spending the time (which I don’t have) doing the searching out and the curating however the types of content need to be there – the output that I need whilst working and the output that I need after work.

I am getting heartily sick and tired of news outlets referencing skin colour ONLY when the perpetrator is white and the victim black, even if it isn’t relevant. It happened again yesterday when a woman was shot by a police officer. The actual headline was ‘White Cop Shoots Black Woman’. Likewise, when a white guy assaults a black guy, it’s often called a ‘racist attack’.
When it’s the other way around however, skin colour isn’t mentioned and it seems racism is never a factor when a black guy assaults a white person, even if no other motive is apparent.
The media are complicit in a future racial conflict. Black and brown people are being encouraged to view EVERYTHING through the lens of racism. They are told to believe all white people are white supremacists and ‘systemic racism’ is everywhere. Not only are they told every day that white people are assaulting or oppressing blacks, but no amount of success for black people can convince them that they’re NOT being discriminated against. In America, even the fact that a black man became president didn’t convince them otherwise, not least because Obama himself kept telling them they’re being victimised. Prominent black politicians in America (particularly) call every criticism of their positions and policies ‘racist’, further stoking the fire. I have no doubt that every argument made against Kamala Harris will be called racist and, should she lose to Trump, that too will be because of racism (and misogyny of course).
Where will it end?

“Economist Danil Monin dismantled the expenditures of the military budget for 6 months of 2024, the conclusions are striking, and most importantly confirm the figure of 400 thousand dead and wounded military personnel. It turns out we spent twice as much money on payments to the dead than on providing the living military! Our source in the OP said that now payments for the dead military at the front account for 15% of the budget of Ukraine..”
Well, that’s one metric, obviously Ukraine has lost far more than they admit to. But wait, what if those payments were not to the families of dead soldiers?
“It will now be difficult for the Office of the President and the General Staff to prove the opposite, because no one will tell where hundreds of billions have gone in 2024.”

Also in there, a returnee with no legs shows his monthly payment from the Govt, $34US, or UAH1500. The average monthly salary in the poorest country in Europe is UAH25,000 so you’d better not expect to live on a military pension if you get your legs blown off.
