“We’re All Gonna Die”

Vlad ‘The Influencer’ Putin – On Immigration

by

The Democratic meltdown over “Russian Hacking” has given Vladimir Putin near super-human powers of influence in the US political system.  I’d expect him to be offered the ‘cold open‘ for Saturday Night Live or a least a guest host slot on TBS’s Conan soon.  As a matter of fact, we’ve set up his own “Vlad – The Influencer” category to keep track of all things Putin.

McCain Says Russia Guilty of ‘Act of War’

by

If CNN reports it, it must not be ‘fake news’.  From CNN, “McCain: Russian cyberintrusions an ‘act of war’“.  An observation before the money quote, however.  It’s not all about you and Lindsay becoming relevant again, John.  Thank God you don’t have a ‘button’ and a ‘red phone’ and a 03:00 am call.

Sen. John McCain said Friday that Russia’s alleged meddling in the 2016 presidential election amounted to an “act of war.”

The Arizona Republican, who is chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, also has scheduled a hearing for next week on foreign cyberthreats to the US, which will also focus on Russian cyberhacking, a committee aide told CNN earlier Friday.

I can’t wait for the revised lyrics of John and Lindsay’s hit song, “Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Iran“.

“Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb” – Slim Pickens rides the bomb (1964).

Verne’s Nautilus Sub Debunks Arctic Ice Theories

From the Telegraph, “How Arctic ice has made fools of all those poor warmists“.

Two events last week brought yet further twists to one of the longest-running farces of our modern world. One was the revelation by the European Space Agency that in 2013 and 2014, after years when the volume of Arctic ice had been diminishing, it increased again by as much as 33 per cent. The other was that Canadian scientists studying the effect of climate change on Arctic ice from an icebreaker had to suspend their research, when their vessel was called to the aid of other ships trapped in the thickest summer ice seen in Hudson Bay for 20 years.

AGW – We’re All Doomed (to Freeze Our Asses Off)

The Washington Post forgot that it is supposed to only report about Global Warming.  Here’s the gem for today, “Rare coast-to-coast cold snap to engulf Lower 48 late next week“.

Frozen Al Gore

Frigid air will grip an unusually large portion of the Lower 48 states in just over a week’s time. The cold is predicted to consume almost the entire nation, from the Pacific Northwest to the Southeast, sparing only Florida.

While some parts of the country are forecast to experience temperatures 30 to 50 degrees colder than normal, the cold snap will be most remarkable for the amount of real estate it is predicted to cover.

Brian Brettschneider, a climatologist based in Alaska, noted Thursday that the National Weather Service’s six- to 10-day temperature outlook (below) projected the nation’s largest area with high confidence (90 percent probability) of below-normal temperatures in 15 years of issuing such outlooks.
