"In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better." - Theodore Dalrymple
 
She is a Joan of Arc type character

I'm more interested in who is jerking her strings, why and what are they planning?

Not interested in her or her 'message''

I think I can see the direction of travel though - it leads to a new era of a 15th C Spanish Inquisition style system of thought control as this new religion replaces the age of science and reason
True, if nobody stops it.
 
So it's just over 8 years until the "12 years" is up. Notwithstanding the possibility that the Chinese might go crazy the Earth should still be floating along on its axis with no significant climate changes- So what will the alarmists do then?
 
The woke crowd that she is a representative of are devoid of reality, they are jumping to idealistic solutions to appease their liberal ideals without searching the real possibilities first. For example ban fossil fuels before exploring emmission reduction strategies.
So what are we going to come up with as a counter to 'woke'? There needs to be a strong counter movement that normal folks can identify with, embrace and use forcefully. What will we call it? Come up with something, here are a few ideas - real, solid, iron, core, normal, etc. Maybe it already exists, but it is hiding for fear of cancellation!
 
@Ray B ... This is what'll happen...

They'll just move the goal posts, like they've been doing for the last 25 or 30 years.
 
I am sad and embarrassed that one is from my state. He should have been gone long ago. He also supported publicly (though he didn't have an actual vote) the nomination of Haaland for Interior Secretary, which was a bad idea. I really, really hope a more viable option becomes available to AK voters at the next possible opportunity.

All 3 of our legislators need to go. Murkowski has never actually been a Republican, and of late Sullivan has only been an enabler to her. I'd delight in seeing all three swept aside.

More like 100 years just read a article from 1921 where they claimed there would be no more glaciers in 10 years.
 
This goes right along with the infamous shart at the Vatican huh?
The venting of methane was just a residual from the dump that he took at the Vatican. Just saw a poll where 39% of voters approve of the Bidet. Really?? 39%??? How come NO One admits to have voted for him- I'd say the approval rating would be less than 10% and if friends, lobbyists and family were excluded the number would approach negative.

I predict the world will melt like ice cream if Jeff Bezos doesn’t give me all of his money.

Edit: and if primers aren’t back in stock by the end of the week :D

I stand corrected. This moving of the goalposts has been going on at least 54 years, and probably longer. Didn't Paul Erlich start making Armageddon predictions in the 1950s?

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
