How Illegal Immigrants Are Intended To Be Perpetual Source Of Underclass - by Tom Knighton - Tilting At Windmills
"...However, some wonder why Democrats are so fired up about illegal immigrants being allowed in this country. 

...Well, in a report on CNN, we get a glimpse of what this is about.
"...President Joe Biden's administration has framed the issue as a crisis -- as a surge that needs to be slowed -- but it should reframe it as an opportunity to address the labor shortage. His handling of the crisis has sparked criticism from immigrant advocates, as well as right-wing leaders.
Except, there’s not really a labor shortage. 

There’s plenty of people to fill those jobs. 

The problem is that none of them actually want to work and, thanks to generous unemployment benefits, they haven’t had to.
They can work, they just don’t want to...Read all.

You can tell this teacher thinks she's the cool teacher because she's wearing a blazer with a graphic tee.

The IPCC’s attribution methodology is fundamentally flawed

The IPCC’s attribution methodology is fundamentally flawed
"One day after the IPCC released the AR6 I (2021) published a paper in Climate Dynamics showing that their “Optimal Fingerprinting” methodology on which they have long relied for attributing climate change to greenhouse gases is seriously flawed and its results are unreliable and largely meaningless. 
...It has been used in dozens and possibly hundreds of studies over the years. 

Wherever you begin in the Optimal Fingerprinting literature (example), all paths lead back to AT99, often via Allen and Stott (2003).

New Evidence of Something REALLY Wrong with Biden’s Camp David Photos — Not Just the Clocks

New Evidence of Something REALLY Wrong with Biden’s Camp David Photos — Not Just the Clocks
"There is something amiss with the Camp David photos recently posted by the White House — and it’s not just the clocks.
The White House on Sunday morning posted a photo of Joe Biden at Camp David, where he was vacationing when the news hit that Afghanistan was falling into the hands of the Taliban.

“This morning, the President and Vice President met with their national security team and senior officials to hear updates on the draw down of our civilian personnel in Afghanistan, evacuations of SIV applicants and other Afghan allies, and the ongoing security situation in Kabul,” the account said.

Then it gets odd. The new White House photo issued on Sunday shows the clocks with twenty-six minutes advanced. It is depicted as being from Sunday morning at 11:29 EST. Joe Biden is in a different outfit.

There is an issue with the clocks showing London and Moscow are three hours apart. Those two cities are two hours apart, so either the photo is wrong or the clocks at Camp David are wrong...Read all!
