Biden forgets he was at a meeting with the President of India, Modi.
The press are the same. Collective amnesia.
CNN want another Trump vs Harris debate.
They have already forgotten the first Presidential debate as if it never happened.
No one asks Kamala about why ‘sharp as a tack’ Biden walked away?
Or whether she threatened him with Amendment 25?
Clinton, Pelosi, Obama, Harris all swore he was ‘sharp as a tack’. They lied.
Everyone just accepts that Biden is not fit for office and it will never be mentioned again.
Except to amuse. It’s funny. But who has been running the government for the last 4 years?
The press are not interested.
Only Trump is a threat to Democracy. What democracy? Who elected Kamala?

Sydney anti-Disinfo Bill rally at Speaker’s Corner an apt location
A rally to oppose the Federal Government’s draconian Misinformation & Disinformation Bill will be held at a location with a long tradition of honoring the right to public speaking.
It’s being organised by Sydney Libertarians.

This coming Saturday the 28th of September, from 11.30am.

The sub-Solar point is crossing the Equator; however, seasons have been canceled because of CO2 in the atmosphere.

Finally, spring in Australia. Australia is one of the few and countries to change season on the 1st of the month, not the 23rd. Who needs science when you have government? But this is a country which believes that a slight increase in CO2 over 250 years is dangerous too.

Meteorological seasons change with the calendar (because meteorologists aren’t very good with numbers?) while astronomical seasons change with the sun, ie. physical reality: so the sun-worshipping pagans (country folk) were onto it long ago, as it was a life & death matter to know when to plant or harvest.
The consensus in NZ is 1st September marks spring, so you’re not alone TdeF. Two climbers were stuck on Mt Cook last week for 4 days thanks to ‘the storm blizzard of the year’ which everyone knew was coming, except them. They were safely rescued, though suffering from frostbite. One of the DOC rangers commented (paraphrased) these dangerous out-of-season storms are going to become more frequent with climate change.
It was still winter fergoodness sake!

Weatherzone
The heaviest September rain in half a century has fallen over the Pilbara region of Western Australia overnight 🌧, with a widespread 80-120mm still to come for a majority of Australia’s desert areas over the next three days.

Our friends in Oz may have been watching the advance of the new centre right UK party “reform” as Nigel Farage sparked it into life and gained 6 seats and if not for the vagaries of our voting system might have got around 80, bearing in mind they got a larger percentage of the vote than the Third placed Lib Dems who scored over 70 new MP’s.
This is a very good account of the Reform conference held this week

Farage is more of a threat to both Labor and the Tories than Climate Change. Surely people are sick of the sky is falling stories? And the warmest May in the history of the UK. I read nothing of the scorching summer, except the occasional 30C heat wave.
I was working in Bundaberg, Queensland one year. It was 30C. And thought I would have a swim in the hotel pool after work. But it was closed for winter.

I am sure we can all get behind the WEF demand that we all collaborate to fight climate change

It used to be man made CO2 driven Global Warming. But as the place isn’t warming significantly after 36 years of rapid warming, I suppose we can agree that CO2 causes erratic weather when weather used to be so predictable. The Romans used auspices. Goat entrails. We have the IPCC and the WEF. And of course the head of the UN who pretends 100F is 100C and the seas are boiling.

A license to print money with Hydrogen production as the cover story – kick-started with 720 million Euros belonging to other people, as usual.

The move from Carbon credits to Hydrogen credits begins here.
20
Most Hydrogen is made through steam methane reforming from a chemical reaction between steam and methane, the main component of natural gas. Producing one ton of H emits more than 6 tons of CO2.
When the CO2 is “captured & stored” this makes sense to the ClimateCult™.
Unmentioned is that when the H is burned, water vapor, a “greenhouse gas”, is produced. Water vapor condenses to become clouds. Who knew?

I saw former deputy PM John Anderson’s name on an article in The Oz declaring that if we don’t soon stop fighting among ourselves we will have nothing to fight for. True!

Just change the sticker on the pipe, no one will know the difference…
It’s amazing how much Ukraine says they hate Russia, but will still very gladly take their money for doing nothing except letting a pipeline exist.
One could even posit that the Ukrainian regime is more upset about potentially losing hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue than they are about the pointless destruction of property and deaths of their own people… but then, when was the last time any government, anywhere, cared about their people…?

Australia produces a remake of “The Office” (UK, US and other) TV series) and again embarrasses itself on the international stage with woke insanity.
