"Al Gore's Antarctic ice core graph showed the exact opposite of what he claimed.
He scammed billions of schoolchildren and got rich."
The Twitter left is on Musk for rightly proclaiming that "Hands up, don't shoot" was a fabricated lie and remains so today.
Michael Smith 
"...Back in 2015, I wrote this about the things the left was saying that just weren't true:
Fake but accurate is what drove the BLM "protests" that became excuses for riots, looting, arson, and murder - and the anarchy and violence of ANTIFA.
It was all based on a lie."
"White cops are hunting totally innocent young black men – I mean “Hands up. Don’t Shoot” for goodness sake. Two days ago, the New Republic (a leftist rag), published an article stating that HUDS was not built on a lie because of the long standing leftist doctrine of Fake But Accurate – they need it to be true, so it is even if it isn’t."The New Republic article was a doozie, concluding with this paragraph about the report Obama's DOJ released...

CNN says Daylight Savings Time affects people of color more - TheBlaze:
The article begins, "As the United States rolled back the clocks one hour this month to observe the end of Daylight Saving Time, many people got a bit more sleep than usual – but some not as much as others."
"Growing evidence shows that lack of sleep and sleep disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea, remain more prevalent in black, Asian, and Hispanic or Latino communities, and these inequities can have long-term detrimental implications for physical health, even raising the risk of certain chronic diseases," Howard contends.

"In focusing on America’s rising rates of violent crime leading up to the midterm elections, Republicans were routinely accused of playing a dirty trick on voters.
“We don’t really have a common definition of what crime means,” crime-statistics analyst Jeff Asher asserted in an October interview with NPR.
"In focusing on America’s rising rates of violent crime leading up to the midterm elections, Republicans were routinely accused of playing a dirty trick on voters.
Apparently, the range of activities that constituted a violation of statute made it difficult to discern what voters meant when they said “crime.”
- And when “crime” wasn’t a nebulous concept that eluded the unsophisticated, it was cast as a problem presided over by Republicans. “Research has repeatedly shown that crime is rising faster in Republican, Trump-supporting states,” wrote Clinton-era Labor Sec. Robert Reich.
- It certainly wasn’t rising in cities led by lenient progressive prosecutors, as the Atlantic’s Ron Brownstein noted, citing the entirely dispassionate research produced by the Center for American Progress. Indeed, violent crimes such as homicides and rapes were down in 2022, according to the FBI’s midyear survey. “Violent crime is not soaring,” Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank asserted. “In fact, it might be declining.”
These formless arguments orbit around one animating imperative: Neutralize the crime issue...

An exceptional read!-----Was Trump Our Captain Queeg? By Victor Davis Hanson
Was Trump Our Captain Queeg? By Victor Davis Hanson
- And will the NeverTrumpers finally be exposed to have been as contemptible as the NeverQueegers were in The Caine Mutiny?
And his victimizers have far more to answer for than their victimized target.
- The record is clear: no president in U.S. history has ever been impeached twice.
- None has ever been impeached and then tried as a private citizen out of office.
- Remember, in both rush-to-judgment politicized efforts, there was no special counsel’s report, and no lengthy cross-examination of witnesses. The first impeachment writ was based on a clumsy phone call in which Trump suspended aid to an often compromised Ukrainian government until it investigated the Biden family’s corruption and collusion with members of the Kyiv apparat and state-related corporations...

In a previous post, I showed how submarine volcanic eruptions don’t contribute to global warming, despite the release of enormous amounts of explosive energy.
- "If it [a scientific hypothesis] disagrees with experiment, it’s WRONG." – Nobel Prize winner Richard Feynman
In a previous post, I showed how submarine volcanic eruptions don’t contribute to global warming, despite the release of enormous amounts of explosive energy.
But they do contribute to regional climate change in the oceans, such as marine heat waves and shrinkage of polar sea ice, explained a retired geologist in a recent lecture.

Zero Tolerance: Survey Finds 33 of 65 Academic Departments Lack a Single Republican Professor
Zero Tolerance: Survey Finds 33 of 65 Academic Departments Lack a Single Republican Professor"We have been discussing the virtual elimination of Republican and conservative scholars from many faculties despite the fact that roughly half of the country regularly votes for Republicans or conservative causes.
- Now a new survey by The College Fix of 65 departments in various states found that 33 do not have a single registered Republican.
- For these departments, the systemic elimination of Republican faculty has finally reached zero, but there is still little recognition of the crushing bias reflected in these numbers...
- The survey found 61 Republican professors across 65 departments at seven universities while it also found 667 professors identified as Democrats based on their political party registration or voting history...
