Lying!-----NASA Caught Altering Temp Data To Support Warming Scam - Citizens' Task Force on Wind Power - Maine

We all know that some of our supposed trusted institutions like NASA have been captured and corrupted by the global warming cult. Here's a new study by a Danish scientist explaining the blatant manipulation of temperature data by NASA. - Richard McDonald/Saving Maine

• Danish professor emeritus at the University of Oslo, Ole Humlum, has exposed large ‘alterations’ made to the surface air temperatures by the GISS Surface Temperature Analysis — an estimate of global surface temperature change run by NASA.

GISS has altered its historical warming trend (between Jan 1915 to Jan 2000) from 0.45C to 0.67C, so reveals Humlum. This is a massive increase of 49%, and in turn means that almost half of the documented warming in that period—the majority of the 20th century—is due to administrative ‘adjustments’ made years after the original temperature measurements were logged.
Humlum provides the below graph.
What it shows is administrative alterations made to past temperatures since May 2008.
The blue lines show where historic measurements have been adjusted downwards, the red lines are where they have been adjusted upwards. 

In just the past 16 years, NASA has been altering historic inputs, cooling the past and warming the present.

Iowahawk Demystifies the 'Latine' Thing

"I can't wait to tell my lowrider colleagues that the very smart white people have come up with another new word for them"

"...As we reported earlier, Axios published a piece for Axios Latino explaining the new hotness that white liberals and their colonized Latinx allies are pushing on the Hispanic communities... 

Then Iowahawk weighed in. 

And that, friends, is worth a whole post of its own.

You don't have to be a genius like Burge is to see that this in an incoherent piece that contradicts itself. "Calling people Latino or Hispanic treats them as a monolith. Therefore we recommend lumping them into another vague group called 'Latines'." Pure, undiluted academic critical theory logic...

House Dissatisfaction with Johnson Explodes over Foreign Aid 'Insanity'

House Dissatisfaction with Johnson Explodes over Foreign Aid 'Insanity': 

House Republicans’ dissatisfaction with Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is rapidly growing as Reps. Scott Perry (R-PA) and Jim Banks (R-IN) are sharing their frustrations about what Banks called “insanity” in Johnson’s foreign aid framework, which includes over three times as much money for Ukraine as it does for Israel while neglecting the U.S. Southern border.

Perry took to X Tuesday to share an image of the framework, showing the bills allocate $48.83 billion to Ukraine, $14.1 billion for Israel, $2.4 billion for “Red Sea Operations,” $2.58 billion for “INDOPACOM,” and $3.3 billion for a “Submarine Industrial Base.”

Smart meters could soon cost you a whole lot more

Surge pricing is a desperate solution to manage demand rather than maintain supply - By Paul Homewood

"What remarkable power climate change has to turn the usual rules of fairness on their head. 

The poor pay the taxes and the wealthy get subsidised. 

• It has happened with electric cars...
• It has happened with heat pumps...
• The next phase will be even more painful for the poor and even more rewarding for the wealthy. 

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero has put forward proposals to equip smart meters and electric appliances with technology to allow Uber-style surge pricing for electricity, where the price of power will vary on a half-hourly basis.

Peter Doocy corners Kirby with two questions after Iran ignores Biden's warning not to attack Israel: 'They did it anyway' | Blaze Media

Peter Doocy corners Kirby with two questions after Iran ignores Biden's warning not to attack Israel: 'They did it anyway' | Blaze Media: 

At the White House press briefing, Doocy interrogated Kirby on Biden's next steps, pointing out the doctrine of don't was a failure. "Has President Biden considered maybe beefing up the public Iran posture to be more than just one word?" Doocy asked. "Because he said 'don't' and they did it anyway. So now what?"

When their media is complicit, anything can be "true".

The Democrats' Witch-Hunt Against Conservatives Just Ramped Up

“Totalitarian Democrat Party and its thugs are trying to destroy the conservative legal community, disbarring and threatening individual lawyers and the Federalist Society, while they claim Trump wants to destroy democracy,” - Katie Pavlich 

• This week, Democrats quietly ramped up their blatant assault on the Supreme Court and conservative legal activists.

"Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin issued a subpoena to conservative and constitutional legal scholar Leonard Leo, claiming he has valid interest in Leo's friendships with Supreme Court Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas.
In response, Leo, the man behind the powerful and influential Federalist Society, is telling Durbin to pound sand...
Durbin’s goal, backed by unhinged Democratic Senator Sheldon Whitehouse and leftist dark money groups, is clear. 

• They are using the most powerful committee in the Senate to silence and cancel political opponents — all while their own activists pump billions of dollars into the legal and political ecosystem...

Campus Reform | Woke Stanford 'math equity' professor under scrutiny for alleged 'reckless disregard of accuracy' in research

Math professor and ‘math equity’ advocate Jo Boaler is accused of ‘reckless disregard for accuracy through citation misrepresentation.’ - Patrick McDonald '26

• Boaler is a “math equity” advocate. Her work has allegedly influenced public schools in San Francisco to drop algebra as a requirement for middle school students, a decision that may have hurt students’ academic success.
• Boaler also champions replacing Algebra II with data science for high school students as a way to achieve “equity.”

Nike Under Fire After 'Outrageous' Women's US Olympics Uniforms Are Unveiled

Nike Under Fire After 'Outrageous' Women's US Olympics Uniforms Are Unveiled: 

With words like “strippers,” “patriarchy,” and “outrageous” being used, the new U.S. Olympic women’s track and field uniforms may cause people to look differently at Olympic track and field. But that’s not good, critics say.

Apparel will be a focus of the 2024 Olympics, Nike Vice President of Apparel Innovation Janett Nichol said, CBS Sports reported.

The Paris games will be a “moment for apparel,” she said. And many believe the focus on apparel will overshadow the Olympic events.

How states are punching back on Biden's federal election takeover | WND | by Around the Web: 

“There is something surreptitious about the Biden administration and the lack of transparency that reveals what is going on here,” Warner said. “The federal government is not supposed to be doing this. We need states to stand firm on this.”

Federal plans largely have been shrouded in secrecy since Biden signed Executive Order 14019 in March 2021, directing federal agencies to work with nonprofit groups to boost voting.

"After drastically depleting the nation’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve to buy votes during the midterm election, President Joe Biden’s Department of Energy has announced it will not purchase up to 3 million barrels of oil from a site in Louisiana in August and September, as originally intended.

• “Keeping the taxpayer’s interest at the forefront, we will not award for the Bayou Choctaw SPR site in August and September and will continue to solicit available capacity as market conditions allow,” a department spokesperson said according to S&P Global.
• “As always, we monitor market dynamics to remain nimble and innovative in our successful replenishment approach to protect this critical national security asset.”...

This is how members of Congress get rich while you stay poor | Blaze Media: 

In the Soviet Union, members of the working class didn't improve their station in life. It was the political class that got rich and reaped all the rewards. Mao, while millions were starving to death, had his own indoor swimming pool. “An economy for everyone!” That phrase is now being used as the rallying cry by some of the most powerful political institutions and elected officials in the country right now.

Hillary Clinton campaigned on creating an “economy that works for everyone.” The country's largest progressive think tank, American Progress, has a policy plan for “building an economy for all.”
