Good morning.

New Argentine president Milei warns Argentinians “shock treatment” lies ahead:

Well… yeah.

I saw this story last night and literally laughed out loud. Biden's approval rating is in the basement and has been for a long while. He claims to be running for re-election. So who does he turn to in order to fix things? 

Hillary Clinton. 

If you needed any more reason to recognize just how stupid and out of touch President Touch-a-lot is, here's your proof. 

I will concede one point: the articles says Hillary "is popular with women and key parts of the Democratic base and remains a fundraising draw who can help ensure Biden has the money to get his message out." I interpret that to mean they are trying to keep the Democrats on the plantation, because then they can fake the votes to win. But if Democrats start leaving the sinking ship, they won't be able to fake enough votes to bail him out.

Drink Deeply of Al Gore's Bitter Tears

COP is NOT denouncing fossil fuels, and Gore has a Big Sad. 

I'm sorry, I can't seem to wipe the smile off my face.

BBC World was hyperventilating about this, and practically nothing else, this morning.

Where did I see an article that indicated that as there hasn't been any global warming for years, now the story is flipping back to global cooling and yet again the solution is more government?

Once again: it does not matter whether the planet is "warming" or "cooling."  There is not a damned thing we can do about it.   

Humans are adaptable; they live in tropic climes, they survived the Ice Age.  They were colonizing Greenland when it was green, and Iceland when it was less icy than now-icy "Greenland."  More to the point, once again:

All the people who want to "regulate the planetary climate" and demand the power and unlimited resources to do so are people who have proven themselves incapable of competently managing and running recently-built, closed, man-made systems. They cannot competently run power grids, or municipal water systems or trash pickup; they cannot competently maintain, let alone repair, the "roads and bridges" they are always prating about; they cannot competently run or maintain the public housing they increasingly want people to live in, or the public transportation systems that they want people to rely on.

More than that; they cannot competently direct disaster recovery/relief from floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts, wildfires, volcanic eruptions or earthquakes---let alone control or prevent such disasters.

Yet they want people to believe that they can, and should, be permitted to try and regulate the planetary climate, which is infinitely more subtle and varied and complex than any of the recently-built, closed, man-made systems they have already repeatedly proven incapable of managing.

I don't disagree. What surprises me is that if I'm right, they have changed on a dime and expect everyone to ignore everything they have been saying for the last 30 years. It's hysterical and only demonstrates yet again that they deserve absolutely nothing from us. Perhaps this will finally be another nail in the coffin of Climate Change™️ insanity.

We'll see whether Hillary helps or not. Watch for many people in MAGA hats suddenly committing suicide under suspicious circumstances./

Biden stabs Israel in the back, because, of course.

One must wonder, though, if he's even aware of what he said.

Israel never had global support - most of the world hates Jews.

They'd rather terrorists.
