A renowned climatologist has said that the alleged scientific consensus on “climate change” is a “manufactured consensus” perpetuated by the United Nations (U.N.). In an interview with libertarian journalist and pundit John Stossel, climatologist Judith Curry said that the “manufactured consensus” existed because a scientist would achieve “fame and fortune” for exaggerating the risks associated with “climate change.”

Of course, if he were to deign to answer questions (as he declined to do today), Garland would point out that that last of the regulations, Section 600.10, makes clear that no one can sue him for refusing to follow the regulations. And that’s right: This is all theater. He is pretending to follow regulations while not following them, hoping you don’t notice but aware that even if you do notice there’s nothing you can do about it. Got that?

Seems to make a joke out the whole concept!
Anyone surprised?

That’s a interesting twist. The Sackler family may still be on the hook for more money.

A stalker hounded me for years with sexually explicit calls – I used a secret phone trick to expose him and discovered it was my uncle
By Chelsea Heatley and Ellen Coughlan For Mailonline
Updated: 08:05 EDT, 5 August 2023
*** begin quote ***
In November 2018, her mum suggested she should download a program onto her phone to unlock unknown numbers.
One day, when her stalker called, she received a message, revealing the real number.
After typing it into Facebook, Turner’s profile popped up.
Thinking it was a mistake, she checked with her sister and mum. But they confirmed, the number was her uncle’s.
With her mum’s support, Kristen went to Turner’s house to confront him.
*** end quote ***
I’d love to know more about the technology and chronology. For example, was it reported to the police and the “phone company”. As an old phone company guy, I know they have tools to uncover the culprit.
Hope he gets to be “bubba’s gal pal” for a long time.
I can’t imagine torturing a family member like that. Well maybe even if I didn’t like that family member, that’s just cruel.

See the solar-powered homeless shelter made from shipping containers
Jessica Boehm
*** begin quote ***
Twenty unhoused people in Phoenix are set to move into a new, solar-powered shelter constructed out of shipping containers next week.
What’s happening: The city of Phoenix ordered four prefabricated shelters from local company Steel + Spark last year and installed the first outside St. Vincent de Paul’s Washington Street shelter this week.
It has 10 single rooms and six double rooms for couples.
Why it matters: This type of interim independent living provides an important step for unhoused people between staying in congregate shelter and building the confidence to enter permanent housing, St. Vincent de Paul chief program officer Jessica Berg told Axios Phoenix.
*** and ***
The intrigue: All four X-Wings and a 200-bed structure were to be installed at a new shelter at 22nd Avenue and Lower Buckeye Road intended to open this summer.
Yes, but: The city found methane gas at the site and stopped construction last month. Officials tell us they are looking for a new area to build the shelter, but have not yet found a site.
What’s next: Scott Hall, Phoenix’s deputy homeless solutions director, said the city decided to deploy the X-Wing at St. Vincent de Paul in the interim to make immediate use of the shelter and see how it works.
He added the city may find additional places to put the other three wings, but did not yet have details.
*** end quote ***
Kudos for finding a “solution”. Seems to be a great idea and almost great execution. Who forgets to solid test for any construction. Does everyone forget the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
In any event, it’s a partial solution. It needs plumbing to be a complete idea.
Maybe consult with some RV designers for ideas?
My travel trailer back in the 70’s had it correct.
The poor “unhoused people”, what I’d call “homeless”, need less Gooferment “help” and more “free market solutions”.
Whatever happened to Jason Stapleton’s(@Jason_Stapleton) idea of “military style barracks” staffed by the homeless themselves as a safe bridge back to society?

There is one and only one conclusion that I should think everyone alive during this last few years of shutdowns and “vaccinations” and election chicanery and a sham (and crooked) presidency and a ridiculous election season and unprecedented government intrusions, would come to is this: the government we have in this country is too incompetent, inept, corrupt, wasteful, and inefficient, too centralized, undemocratic, unjust, and invasive, and too unresponsive to the needs of individual citizens and small communities, and all because it is too big. Simple as that.

Seems like a fair and balanced assessment.

#15 Canned hunts.
We can argue the ethics of hunting all day long. On the one hard, you have the cruel barbarism of fox hunting. On the other hand, you had paid permit hunting for big, exotic game (*where the permit only allows for specifically designated culls and profit goes directly to conservation).
But canned hunting? F**k. At least fox hunting and permit hunting require some measure of skill and afford some opportunity for the animal to escape.
Canned hunts are often marketed as “exotic game ranches;” places people go to get a guaranteed kill of a particular species. You know how you get that guaranteed kill? Because the game are fenced in and are often reliant on human care (so they have limited fear of humans compared to their wild roaming counterparts). There’s nothing sporting about it.
Imagine going to a dairy farm and bragging about how you bagged a big cow. That’s what canned hunting sounds like to others.
*** end quote ***
I can applaud hunters, who like the Zulu youth when they go out to become man by hunting a lion with a short spear and small reed shield. I don’t know what the win – loss ratio is but, at least, the lion has a fair shot. And it’s their tradition, not mine.
I can tolerate those who hunt for food if they eat what they kill. Also, those who do permit hunting to conserve a species. Even those who hun bears before they become dangerous to people and donate the captures to food pantries and soup kitchens.
I can not shame those “hunters”, who are cruel or use “canned” victims, enough.
Nothing can be more demeaning than to claim a great achievement when “shooting fish in a barrel”.
Argh!
